In Its ‘Hands’

The orchards of New Jersey are filled with smoke. It is dawn, it is well below freezing, and the orchard on the south side of the highway is vast; the protective smoke cannot fully diminish the white glow of so many flowers. Frost is devastating for fruit farms, so, driving past, seeing this, I pray for them. I know they have been up for hours, doing everything they can. My prayers are not addressing the divine so much as begging the odds that this farm’s luck holds out. That they’ll be spared this morning, not punished. It’s what you might ... 15 Apr 2025 by Marilee Foster

The Big Screen

Thank you, Aby Rosen and son Charlie, for the chic and comfortable renovation of the Southampton movie theater, which is now called the Southampton Playhouse. My daughter and her husband saw “Becoming Led Zeppelin” in the state-of-the-art IMAX theater there and raved about the experience. I was anxious to check it out. A 4 p.m. show was the perfect time for my friend Kathy and me to go to the movies. Feeling like kids, we bought popcorn, Raisinets and Tate’s cookies. Next time, a glass of wine. It was lovely to not worry about stepping on gum as we settled ... by Denise Gray Meehan

Reading the Signs

Protest demonstrations are not new in Suffolk County. The biggest demonstration in county history occurred on June 3, 1979, in opposition to the Shoreham nuclear power plant and the overall plan by the Long Island Lighting Company to construct seven to 11 nuclear plants in Suffolk County. More than 15,000 people participated at the Shoreham site, what has been seen as a turning point in the fate of the Shoreham plant and the other nuclear plants. The late Nora Bredes, who headed the Shoreham Opponents Coalition and whose fight against the highly unpopular nuclear push in Suffolk was followed by ... by Karl Grossman

Their House

Behind tall hedges, shining through a break in the wall, properties are forced to share their magnolias. Those planted publicly bask in their own generous glow. Nothing compares. Both gaudy and beguiling, the showy tree brings joy into a cold and cloudy day — the April norm in Sagaponack. Our spring, in the Land of the Large Ground Nut, is, sometimes for days on end, a steady night of fog. It’s generally safe to plant potatoes when the first of the magnolia bloom, but with far fewer acres to plant and the weather not really sorted out, why push it? ... 8 Apr 2025 by Marilee Foster

Hand-Wrestling With God

I never thought I would see this story, and as a nine-page article no less, in the current April issue of the esteemed and influential magazine Scientific American. “A Softer Corps” is the headline. The subhead: “The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has uncharacteristically been working with nature instead of bulldozing it into submission. Will this enlightened approach prevail?” So the piece would not be missed, it is flagged on the cover of Scientific American with: “Reinventing the Army Corps of Engineers.” When I began as a journalist based in Suffolk County in 1962, the Army Corps was promoting a ... 7 Apr 2025 by Karl Grossman

Tilting at All the Windmills

The “Tilting at Windmills” column first appeared in this paper six years ago last month. Happy anniversary to me! Time flies when you’re having fun, and it’s been a blast drafting such entertaining (at least to me) 900 words every four, five or six weeks — depending on how many wise columnists the fine folks at The Express News Group had on rotation. Wait, why didn’t I celebrate the more traditional fifth anniversary? Great question. The short answer is, I forgot. The longer answer might involve painkillers. My March 2024 column was about how I had spent the preceding six ... by Tracy Grathwohl

VIEWPOINT: The Supreme Court Case That Could Radically Change Elections

By Peter Mayer It is close to impossible for the average American to follow the decisions coming out of the Supreme Court of the United States. However, certain matters that come before the court may have a direct impact on the functioning of our democratic form of government, a concept that should be of universal interest. On December 7, 2022, arguments were heard by the Supreme Court in a case called Moore v. Harper. The central issue was the question as to whether state legislatures should have independent power, not subject to any judicial review by state courts, to set ... by Peter Mayer

Clip and Crawl

After many moons, the construction fence and its black drapes came down, and people could see their beloved General Store again. I have slowed as I passed and tried my best to stare at it like a stranger, recognize it as an old friend, see the dramatic and yet gentle renovation near completion. This is not to say that many won’t lament the near-certain closing of the Hedges Lane post office. The no-frills structure and charming staff make the 11962 zip code valuable for reasons not based on land transactions. Spring began cold and with heavy, unsettled clouds. The wind ... 1 Apr 2025 by Marilee Foster
