Friends and Enemies

The catbird, a jazz artist, works his exotic repertoire. Above, a robin, stuck on repeat, warns of a predator walking below. The cool quiet redescends on Sagaponack. Those who remain are admittedly stunned, and also relieved. The deep breath that is the close of the day, evening, exhales with a sigh. A friend of mine wants to paint a portrait of a potato beetle, and about a month ago she asked me if I had any. Too early, I said — the potatoes aren’t even out of the ground.

Giving Light

After 47 years, I am retiring as a professor at the State University of New York at Old Westbury. A professor is what I always wanted to be. It’s hard to remember accurately what you were thinking when you were 14.

Exorbitant electric rates were not inevitable. Rather, they were the result of a series of bad judgments dating back to the 1960s. It all began with the Long Island Lighting Company, or LILCO, the private, investor-owned utility that operated Long Island’s electric ... by Fred Thiele

VIEWPOINT: Federal Cuts to Public Media Jeopardize Community-Driven Programming

As some of the last locally operated media in the country, public media is a beacon of learning and freedom of expression — that could cease to exist. Recent proposals to rescind, cut or eliminate public media funding are destructive and shortsighted. Cutting federal funding would leave many Americans without the critical services local public television and radio stations provide, from proven education resources to essential lifesaving public safety services. The threat to WLIW, home to Long Island’s only PBS and NPR stations, is dire. Funding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distributes funds to public media and public radio ... by Diane Masciale
