As striped bass numbers on the East Coast continue to decline, and more stringent restrictions are placed on their harvest by fishermen, an East Quogue entrepreneur has presented state officials... more
Is your historical glass feeling half empty or half full? At only about 45 days out from the Trump regime, midway into the Biden administration’s first 100 days, nearly two months after the Capitol insurrection, three weeks after the second impeachment, and over 500,000 souls and multiple vaccine approvals into the pandemic, it may be too early to tell which way the winds of history will blow. But one thing is for sure: A page is turning. For me the fierce swoosh of that page is being accompanied by the burbling sound of a glass filling. Maybe it’s because, thanks ... 26 Feb 2021 by Carlos Sandoval
The temperature is falling as the first seeds are planted. The greenhouse has been off, water drained, no heat, and I haven’t had to think or worry about it because nothing depends upon its luxurious climate for most of the winter.

At a public hearing of the county’s Fair Housing Task Force this month on what government has done — and likely will do — in the wake of the Newsday expose of widespread racial “steering” in real estate sales in Nassau and Suffolk counties, a state senator from Suffolk described his immediate action. “I asked, what is the law?” said Senator James Gaughran from Northport, who is an attorney. He said he was “shocked” to find that violating New York State’s Human Rights Law was “not a reason” for the state’s secretary of state to “revoke a salesperson’s or real ... by Karl Grossman
The memory is, unfortunately, etched in stone in my personal chronology: Crossing the Verrazano, August 1990, and from the radio comes the news that Stevie Ray Vaughan had been killed in a helicopter crash at the peak of his career. I had never been able to even look up the details. Until now. I came across “Texas Flood: The Inside Story of Stevie Ray Vaughan,” by Alan Paul and Andy Aledort, at a bookstore in East Hampton. Turns out that Aledort, a longtime music journalist and guitarist who’s played with the likes of Johnny Winter, is a Sea Cliff resident ... by Tim Motz
