Gold and Red

October, with its slanted light, gives our normal landscape metallic powers: silver at twilight, golden throughout. Painters paint it, writers write it, all of us taking our time with a mental photograph of something beautiful and vast. Not a lady, not a singular dancing man on your 2-inch screen, it is not easy to record. You must find the colors or the words to capture a whole planet under a unique sky, turning, like a top — we hope, a perpetual top — through the universe. Soon after sunrise, coming upon the spent sunflowers, the flock of goldfinch rise and ... 8 Oct 2024 by Marilee Foster

VIEWPOINT: Hampton Bays: The Time To Act Is Now

By Joe Calderone Say the word “Hamptons” and the world immediately imagines multi-billionaires residing behind estates surrounded by tall hedges that hide lush in-ground pools, manicured lawns, private beach access and circular driveways stocked with BMWs, Maseratis and the occasional Bentley.

Then there is Hampton Bays — a proud, working-class, family-friendly community that disdains uber-wealth, celebrates its access to the Peconic and Shinnecock bays, along with great beaches on Dune Road fronting the same ... by Joe Calderone

Rethinking ‘Marshes’

What a difference several decades have made when it comes to wetlands. At long last, there’s been a change spurred by enlightened government leadership, action by environmental organizations and, amid the climate crisis, the realization of the importance of wetlands in providing coastal resiliency in the face of climate change. Wetlands, where fish feed and breed — among other attributes — are a vital part of the environment. But for so long this was not recognized. Wetlands were dismissed as “marshes” to be filled and turned into property on which construction could take place. Studies have determined that half of ... 7 Oct 2024 by Karl Grossman

The Best Party Ever

I can’t remember the last time we had trick-or-treaters. I miss the little children dressed as wanna-be witches, princesses and superheroes, rushing to the door, yelling, “Trick or treat!” I liked dressing up as a child but not as an adult. I cringed when we received an invitation to a costume party. It seemed like such an effort, but they were always fun. Dressing as a nun was easy while I still had my college robe and fun when paired with a male dancer. I also had been Edward Scissorhands, and a member of Kiss. We had a lot of ... by Denise Gray Meehan
