In a summer punctuated by a string of incidents of sharks biting people swimming off Long Island beaches, thus causing significant concern about swimming in ocean waters here, let us turn to the person key to getting people very scared of sharks: Peter Benchley, who authored the 1974 novel “Jaws.” “Jaws,” not too incidentally, was based on a fictional town on Long Island. Benchley’s inspiration for the book was Montauk charter boat captain Frank Mundus catching a 4,550-pound great white shark in 1964. However, the 1975 movie was shot on and off Martha’s Vineyard and so had a Massachusetts setting. ...

Out in the field, the 9-year-old who’s tagging along stands ready to transport the cucumbers I hand her. She is using her shirt as an apron and can, if she is careful, manage a dozen at a time, gently ferrying them to the larger crates that sit in the shade of my truck. The oldest part of the plants are fading. Leaves yellow and grow crisp. Worse, whole plants wilt and shrivel overnight. The situation is varietal, however, because some maintain a shady canopy, and new growth winds its way over the weedy aisles. Delicate, prolific yellow flowers course along ...

Holocaust survivor Maritza Shelley of Sag Harbor, with East Hampton author and writing teacher Randi Dickson, has penned a powerful book, “In the Very Air We Breathed.” Maritza, who just turned 94, was born in Budapest, Hungary. She writes that the “Budapest of my childhood evokes safety and comfort. Although antisemitism had been in the fabric of Hungary for centuries, until that day in March of 1944, I had lived an idyllic, upper middle class life … But being Jewish, a feeling of being ‘separate’ and ‘different’ was always in the very air I breathed. “Our ‘separateness,’ however, did not ...

We called it “the Tower,” because that is exactly what it was. The Bishop family owned it. They found the abandoned windmill and rescued it for their summer camp. It stood on a rise above Great Peconic Bay near Hampton Bays, where friends and families had summer “camps,” as they were known. The Herricks and the Bishop families had been friends for eons. After my grandmother died, my grandfather married Alma Bishop, whose husband had died, too. Since they had grown up together in our small, close-knit village, Alma and Gaku were happily matched. I turned 11 in March 1965. ...
