Lois Marie Viola peacefully passed away on April 11th, 2024 in Southampton, NY.

She leaves behind her loving sister Susan Viola (Arthur) and countless friends. Lois graduated from the University of Miami and attended the New York School of Interior Design.

Her love of decorating led to the opening of the antique furniture store, BitterSweet Interiors in Soho. After many successful years in NYC her love for the East End and the beautiful beaches brought her to Bridgehampton, where she opened the second location of BitterSweet Interiors.

Lois had a keen eye for art, fashion and had an endless love of travel that took her to places all over the world. Her laughter, sense of humor and friendship to so many will forever be missed.

We love you Lois Marie Viola! May your next journey be the best one yet!

A celebration of life will be planned at a later date.

In the Year 2025

2025 has already mugged me, repeatedly. I look forward to years that end in a zero or a five. They feel auspicious. One of my life’s numerical highlights was to have my high school graduation land on an ’0 year. Many of us partied extra hard at the turn of the millennium. After all, it was a ’000. I associate auspicious with superlatives like “great!” And so, despite all the signs, I was feeling hopeful, looking forward to 2025. I should have been looking backward for the kick in the butt. Let’s start with the fires ravaging my native Southern ... by Carlos Sandoval

What will be the future off offshore wind turbines off Long Island and elsewhere along coastal United States with Donald Trump as U.S. president? “We recommitted to reducing carbon emissions with offshore wind off the coast of Long Island,” declared New York Governor Kathy Hochul last week in her “State of the State” address in Albany. A week before, giving a “State of the Region” speech on Long Island, Hochul told of how with “the South Fork Wind Project, we have the largest commercial grade offshore wind facility in America.

Storied Past

69,036. That’s the population of Southampton. Of these tens of thousands of people, the best the Democratic Party could do is John Leonard? I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, rarely voting across party lines, but this committee under Gordon Herr has got to start giving us better choices. I thought that when he forced me to vote for Julie Lofstad, that would be the last Republican I had to vote for. John Leonard, to put it mildly, is insufferable. One need only watch the way he conducts his sham civic association, bump into him at a business mixer, see his conduct ... by Staff Writer
