The Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is drawing attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month during October with the placement of Molly the cow at the Phillips Family Cancer Center on Route 27. It is to remind women to get their annual "maMOOOOOOgrams." Although cancer is no laughing matter, Molly is there wildly decorated with a fun and whimsical yarn bombing done by breast cancer survivors and volunteers of the Coalition. The cow was loaned for the occasion by the Behind the Fence Gallery on Sunrise Highway. “What better way to honor my Aunt Molly, who passed from breast cancer,” said Allison Jennerich of Behind the Fence Gallery.

Sagg Scene

For years, there hasn’t been much of a scene in Sagaponack. The Little Red Schoolhouse is delightful, and sometimes so is the Village Hall. An artist’s garden, a writer’s abode — much of the locations are private, or feel so. The name of this column even changed. In the duration by which the rural economy transformed from agricultural to housing, we also sustained a severe downward trend in Sagg’s year-round community. This change was sadly mirrored about a decade ago, when, after 120 years in business, the Sagaponack General Store became seasonal, too. There is a scene in Sagaponack now. ... 22 Apr 2025 by Marilee Foster

Failing To Plan Is Planning To Fail

An issue for decades, affordable housing for local residents on the South Fork, has reached crisis proportions. The crisis has accelerated in the wake of the pandemic. The value of real estate sales tripled between 2019 and 2021. High prices and low inventory has put housing beyond the reach of more and more local residents. The housing crisis is not unique to the South Fork — it is a national issue. Housing costs are part of an affordability problem that has upended politics across the nation. Middle class Americans who get up every morning and go to work in search ... 21 Apr 2025 by Fred Thiele

On Being American

Down but not out, John Avlon wants to be part of reversing the democratic — and Democratic — recession in America. His ideas, heavy on unity and the promise of “economic abundance,” free of revenge and insults, and light on blame and political recrimination, feel like they’re from another era in this time of chaos, corruption and cruelty. Little wonder, seeing as the media personality, author and recent Democratic congressional candidate is also a historian who spends some portion of his days examining America’s leaders in our darkest days to know how to step out and lead amid this existential ... by Biddle Duke

Much Less Green

The administration of President Donald Trump is making an unbridled push to block renewable energy projects — including, last week, halting the placement of 54 wind turbines in the ocean south of Long Island — and is pushing fossil fuels, among them, coal. The burning of fossil fuels is the leading cause of climate change. Trump has repeatedly called climate change a “hoax.” Meanwhile, Suffolk County resident Lee Zeldin of Shirley, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, is canceling, on a sweeping basis, environmental regulations, discharging EPA employees, and, last week, stopping the collection of greenhouse gas emission data.
