Time To Feast

Every year, I say I am going to do this. Finally, I’m going to say it before the madness begins. Christmas does not end on Christmas. It begins on Christmas. The period before is one of preparation, called Advent. It’s supposed to be spiritual preparation, but we also live in worldly reality. So that’s also the time to shop, mail cards, wrap, clean, decorate, bake and, especially for women, run yourself into the ground. The 12 days of Christmas begin on December 25 and run to January 6, which is called the Epiphany. This feast day commemorates the arrival of ... by Staff Writer

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.

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

Southampton Lifts Term Limits for Regulatory Board Appointments, Shortens Terms

The Southampton Town Board last week approved removing term limits for members of the town’s Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, but at the same time cut the terms for members from seven years to four years. The board had only extended the terms for members of the two quasi-judicial regulatory boards from four to seven years in 2022 — to match state Town Law guidelines that say member terms should be equal to the number of members on a board. The town imposed a limit of two terms on members. At the time, appointments were also staggered with ... by Michael Wright
