The Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is drawing attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month during October with the placement of Molly the cow at the Phillips Family Cancer Center on Route 27. It is to remind women to get their annual "maMOOOOOOgrams." Although cancer is no laughing matter, Molly is there wildly decorated with a fun and whimsical yarn bombing done by breast cancer survivors and volunteers of the Coalition. The cow was loaned for the occasion by the Behind the Fence Gallery on Sunrise Highway. “What better way to honor my Aunt Molly, who passed from breast cancer,” said Allison Jennerich of Behind the Fence Gallery.

Thankful, and Not

Thanksgiving is synonymous with harvest. Reaping what you have sown, you walk across the threshold of the field, your machete idle but ready to swing, to neatly lob off a head of broccoli. The level of satisfaction is hard to replicate in layman’s terms, somewhere between basketball’s slam dunk and capturing the flag. Harvest is what gave us some primordial ease, that the dark, cold months will not be hungry ones. The ancient discovery that successful agriculture could offer its practitioners self-reliance — to a degree — is what set us on the path to discovering other things, like gratefulness. ... 24 Nov 2025 by Marilee Foster

Wind Symphony

The wind has been blowing hard enough to bring the outdoor cat in. And while it is not truly cold, the wind makes it feel like winter, which is nice for a change. The developing trend is late autumn warmth, heat that makes it risky to store potatoes much earlier than mid- to late October. The storage barns are cinder block hallways built into or banked by earth. They are improved mid-century root cellars, designed to the specs of a regional growing season that once seemed permanent and perpetual. If your occupation does not put you in regular contact with ... 20 Nov 2025 by Marilee Foster

Election 2025 is now in the history books. What happened? Why did it happen? What does it mean for 2026? As we look across the nation in this off-year election, there is overwhelming consensus that the 2025 election was a big victory for Democrats. Democrats won gubernatorial elections with moderate candidates in New Jersey and Virginia. Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, was elected mayor of New York City as a Democrat, with a majority of the vote in a three-way race. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting proposal was approved by more than 60 percent of the vote. Democrats also ... by Fred Thiele Jr.

Warm Air, and Hot Air

There’s a highly threatening and new reality for hurricanes. Unusually, the East Coast of the United States was not struck this year by any hurricanes. And thus, luckily, we were not hit by one of these extreme hurricanes that first meanders as a minor storm and then, in just a day or so after feeding from waters made ever-hotter by climate change, rise to the worst hurricane level, Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. But it’s just a matter of time. The National Weather Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency defines online Category 5 as: “Winds 157 ... 19 Nov 2025 by Karl Grossman
