The Truth About Kratom

As the Mayo Clinic describes it: “Kratom is a supplement that is sold as an energy booster, mood lifter, pain reliever and remedy for the symptoms of quitting opioids, called withdrawal. But the truth about kratom is not so simple. And there are safety problems linked to its use.” The article continues: “Kratom is an herbal extract that comes from the trees of an evergreen tree called Mitragyna speciosa. The tree grows in Southeast Asia.” However, “some kratom sellers add more of the active ingredient than kratom naturally has. … Depending on the amount of active ingredient in the product ... by Karl Grossman

In the Soup

When I was in the throes of perimenopause, I couldn’t eat hot soup. Any soup, no matter how delicious, precipitated a hot flash. Sweaty heat would radiate from my neck to my scalp and then head south. It was a sad time for me. One of my favorite food groups is soup. I wrote an essay about those hot flashes back then; lucky for you, it didn’t appear in these pages. I didn’t have this gig yet, so you were spared from reading what happened in and to my body while I was in the throes of perimenopause. I did ... by Tracy Grathwohl

Useless Durak

In a recent post, Ed Surgan paraphrased an article he claims was from Newsday about the “No Kings” rally: “Demonstrators were concerned with cuts to Medicare, government job cuts and free speech. While the first two may be legitimate differences over policy, they pose no threat to democracy.” Here is an actual quote from Newsday: “Thousands of protesters at more than a dozen locations from Port Washington to East Hampton rallied Saturday to denounce what they view as an increasingly authoritarian regime under the Trump administration. … Dozens of protesters interviewed in Mineola, Port Jefferson and Patchogue voiced concern over ... by Staff Writer

Turned Away

Perhaps to close out the discussion of the Working Families Party candidates, local voters should be aware of what happened during the primary election earlier this year. I work as a poll official in Westhampton Beach, and we had a total of eight voters come in to cast ballots all day. None of them was a registered Working Families Party voter. And so, although they were well meaning, we had to turn them away, thanking them nonetheless for trying to exercise their right to vote. There were at least 10 poll officials seated all day, from 6 a.m. to 9 ... by Staff Writer

Growing Silent

According to 27east.com, intense rainfall led to “significant scour and erosion” on the west side of the Sunrise Highway bridge abutment over the Shinnecock Canal in Hampton Bays [“Lane Restrictions on Sunrise Highway Will Last at Least Through Next Week,” 27east.com, October 31]. Many commuters are experiencing this firsthand. These kinds of rain events will become more commonplace here and elsewhere due to the increase in water vapor in the atmosphere. Water vapor is increasing because our planet is heating. Scientists tell us this: “For every degree Celsius in warming, the water-holding capacity of the atmosphere increases by about 7 ... by Staff Writer
