Here All Year

Summer has always been busy, but there was always a sense of respect for the local community. Until this year. I was in Schiavoni’s last week, at the deli counter ordering some cold cuts. As I was waiting, a gentleman, who was very obviously not a local, ordered the same thing I did. I see my turkey being packaged getting ready to be handed to me — but it was not handed to me. It was handed to the man who was behind me. It was not his fault, but instead the fault of the employee, whom I have seen ... by Staff Writer

Defies Logic

Environmental alarmists make our lives worse because they want to feel good about how they view the world through their rose-colored glasses, and the classic example is Karl Grossman attacking fracking while extolling the virtues of wind farms off the shore of Long Island [“Fracking for Wind Farms?” Suffolk Closeup, Opinion, July 17]. Mr. Grossman lives in a world that the boomer generation can’t let go of: Nuclear bad, fossil fuel bad, and wind and solar are the new religion of environmental zealots. The truth is, the path of wind and solar is too expensive and does not meet future ... by Staff Writer

Contagious

Regarding the letter “Just Chill” [July 17]: It should appear in every newspaper in the country, not just for us on the island. Especially No. 6: Be kind, smile, be patient. Say hello, spread some love — it’s contagious and would make the country a more beautiful place. Katherine Poremba Southampton by Staff Writer

Distorted History

Mark Schulte’s letter, “Worth the Candle” [July 24], represents exactly the hostile attitude that we pointed out in our letter to the editor in the June 16 edition [“Hostile Attitudes”]. It represents a complete lack of empathy, a rejection of any legitimate claims by the Shinnecock Nation, and is one that clearly comes from a noncooperative and adversarial position. The negative tone of his first sentence reverberates throughout. A full response to his many inaccurate statements would not fit the 450-word limit. But there was nothing questionable about federal recognition that was finally awarded to the Shinnecock Nation in 2010. ... by Staff Writer

Shelter Island Camp Employee Charged With Rape

On Friday, the Shelter Island Police announced the Monday arrest of Manuel Escalera Ibanez, 23, of Madrid, Spain, on a charge of rape in the first degree. The arrest occurred at Kennedy Airport late Monday night, as Escalera Ibanez was apparently about to board a plane. The defendant is an employee of Camp Quinipet on Shelter Island, where the rape is said to have occurred, though the date it occurred is not shared in the police report. According to Escalera Ibanez’s LinkedIn page, he started working last month at the camp as a swimming instructor for campers, as well as ... 25 Jul 2025 by T.E. McMorrow

Hetrick-Martin Institute Benefit on August 2 Reaches for the Stars in Its 25th Year

In the Hamptons, where summer fundraising events occur with the same cadence as incoming flights at LaGuardia, it’s always interesting to see which ones have stood the test of time. After all, the demographics have certainly shifted dramatically in the last decade — a lot more money — but that doesn’t necessarily guarantee a rise in “the get” for deserving nonprofits. Indeed, the great philanthropists of the Hamptons can still be counted on fingers and toes. So for an event to reach its silver anniversary, along with record-breaking income, speaks volumes, especially when the cause is so very much a ... by Steven Stolman

Sag Harbor Police Reports for the Week of July 24

SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — The arrest of Marco Lucio, 37, by Village Police on misdemeanor DWI charges around midnight on Friday presented a bit of a challenge for Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace, as well as for the attorneys involved, during the defendant’s Saturday morning video arraignment. Lucio, driving a 2025 Ford Bronco, had been pulled over on Hampton Street for speeding, police said, adding that he appeared intoxicated and failed sobriety tests, leading to his arrest. Lucio, 37, a citizen of France, was visiting Montauk, and was scheduled to return to his home on the island of Saint-Barthélemy ... by Staff Writer
