Wild Season

A theme sets up soon after the potatoes are planted. Not just a weather pattern but a problem pattern. Some years, it’s bearings … well, actually, it might always be bearings. They are the friction points that largely modernized farming equipment, and they see lots of grease to smooth their wear. But, besides bearings, it could be electrical issues, or hydraulic lines. This year, for us, it is tires. The first to go was a sidewall, midfield, on a tractor towing a spreader and hauling about 5 tons of lime. So there is weight on the hitch and the weight ... 24 Jun 2025 by Marilee Foster

To the Rescue

Bird chatter wakes me up most mornings at 4:30 — which is so annoying. Talk about early bird! But it’s rare to hear them when I am just falling asleep. Last week, the birds on our property were chirping away at 10:30 at night. So, I Googled to find out why this happened. There are many reasons, but I chose to see it as an omen. The omen was a turtle. Terry, my husband and pool boy, rescued a small turtle that he found on the steps of our pool. He scooped up the little guy out and put him ... by Denise Gray Meehan

Battling Beetles

What can be done about the infestation of the southern pine beetle in Suffolk County and elsewhere in the Northeast, where the beetle’s habitat has now been extended because of climate change? There were recommendations at recent conferences on the southern pine beetle issue, one at LTV, the public access television station in Wainscott, as part of its “Pine Protection Project,” and another at the Eastern Campus of Suffolk County Community College, convened by Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine. At LTV this month, Jason C. Smith, science and stewardship manager of Suffolk’s Central Pine Barrens Commission, urged “prescribed” or controlled ... by Karl Grossman

Where Are We?

The convertible comes to a slow stop. The driver looks concerned, the passenger irritated. Her hand signals that I should stop too. I lean from my tractor seat to hear what they are hollering. People used to get lost. Desperate, late or enjoying the new sights, strangers would turn off Route 27. They’d wind through Wainscott and cross unknowingly into Sagg. Having originated from a point well west of here, they’d say, “Where are we? I mean, which way is the Montauk Highway?” They had heard about the Hamptons, but they had not bargained for the wasteland of potato fields ... 18 Jun 2025 by Marilee Foster

Verse vs. Versus

A couple of friends and I went out for Cuban food, and we decided to share our entrees. One friend chose the camarones enchilados, described on the menu as shrimp in a spicy creole sauce with wine. It was delicious — except the chef left the tail shells on the camarones. Ugh! I had to stick my fingers into the spicy creole sauce with wine, pick up the tail and bite into the shrimp in such a way as to pull all the meat out of the shell. It’s a method I’ve found to have only a 50 percent success ... by Tracy Grathwohl

The Rugged Properties of Remaining

“H and a half, H and a half … G is gone,” said one. “Right, and no more B, F, C and a half, either,” said another. They aren’t speaking in code. Patrons stood in the new post office and marveled at the old boxes. New, old boxes, new combos, some get keys. The Sagaponack Post Office has returned to its original location on Main Street, and the oldest customers approach with cautious zeal. They have memories: Capote’s seizure, Vonnegut’s cigarettes, artists who smelled of oil paintings, and farmers who sometimes came twice a day looking for promised payments. Down ... 10 Jun 2025 by Marilee Foster
