Taking Risks

I don’t know how the beans came up. They are not happy — they didn’t fold out of the earth rich and green. In fact, they look nearly dead, two long lines of them, translucent yellow leafs that are pinched to nearly purple at the stalks. I imagine that they shiver. A large part of a farmer’s mental freedom is dedicated to trying to have a plan to meet the conditions. This is why farmers are innovators — they imagine an implement that would help them through some particular hardship, and then they’ll build it themselves.

VIEWPOINT: Grace Under Fire

By Adele Kristiansson Drive along North Sea Road and you’ll see that Southampton Volunteer Ambulance is building the framework for a new generation. A year ago, we broke ground on our new headquarters. Despite supply chain delays and inflationary headwinds, our floor is poured, steel girders are set, ductwork, pipes and siding are taking shape. We hope to occupy our new home by fall. By every metric, we’ve burst the seams of the 3,600-square-foot building we constructed in 1989, when our founding members effected the transfer of authority between VFW Post 7009 and the newly formed Southampton Volunteer Ambulance.

Change of Venue for Bra Auction

In an unexpected change of events, the Reconstructed Bra Fashion Show & Auction has lost its venue just two weeks before the scheduled show. In a recent ruling by the State Liquor Authority, the Southampton Social Club was ordered to operate as a restaurant only or face losing its liquor license. “Ian and Scott were heartbroken to tell us the news and we were equally heartbroken for them,” said Stacy Quarty of Lucia’s Angels and the Coalition for Women’s Cancers. “The Southampton Social Club has been a longtime and very generous supporter of these local charities as well as many ... by Staff Writer

Motel, Hotel, Holiday Inn

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Life is a journey, not a destination.” Etsy sells this quote on T-shirts, wall decals and shot glasses. I don’t need to wear the saying on my chest or paste it on my wall in 12-inch letters — but I’m always happy to drink a shot. And if the glass says something inspiring, even better. If I’m being honest, though, journeys are hard. Journeys involve traffic, or removing coats, shoes and belts at the TSA checkpoint. And, clearly, Mr. Emerson hasn’t flown Southwest Airlines. Destinations, alternatively, are great. Destinations can be Bora Bora, which is far ... by Tracy Grathwohl

What is happening with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation? The DEC has been sitting on its hands in regard to a 50-acre sand-mining operation in Noyac, called Sand Land, that is barely above groundwater. Last month, despite the ruling of New York State’s highest court, its Court of Appeals, annulling the mining permit of Sand Land, mining had resumed at the property, charged State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. of Sag Harbor and Bob DeLuca, president of the Group for the East End. Also last month, Newsday reported that “more than 1,400 household products that contain a ... by Karl Grossman
