A Second Standoff With Hampton Bays Man

Police have arrested a Hampton Bays man a second time in as many weeks after another hourslong standoff sparked by fears that he was barricaded in a residence with a gun. Southampton Town Police say they were called to the Springville Road house at 3:40 a.m. on Saturday, January 25, to a report that a man was acting erratically, had physically assaulted the residents of the home and had displayed what police said they were told “appeared” to be a handgun. When police arrived, the man refused to exit the home and an officer trained in crisis negotiation was called ... by Staff Writer

Missing the Forest

As an avid gardener and lover of trees, my heart appreciates the spirit behind the proposed tree law in Southampton Village. My mind knows that the problems outweigh any benefits. First, some history. Thanks to a century of intense landscaping and irrigation, there are currently more mature trees in Southampton Village than at any time in history. Those who celebrate trees’ benefits to the environment are correct, but we already have an embarrassment of riches. More than 90 percent of the mature and even “heritage” trees in the village are nonnative (which, incidentally, risk blight and demand more irrigation from ... by Staff Writer

Sounds of Winter

Now that most leaf blowers have gone into hibernation, we have the real quiet of midwinter to relish. Contrary to description, quiet is not actually quiet, but it is largely left alone, undisturbed, and so in the empty, cold air you can hear the small but cumulative sounds. Things like beach pebbles, miles away, drawing back with a wave. The predation begins before dawn. The woman fills her feeders. The sparrows move in, and doves, lazy from the cold night, flap down from high branches to huddle on the ground. One small movement begets another — and the hawk sifts ... by Marilee Foster

Two Whoppers

Governor Kathy Hochul recently issued two whoppers of vetoes of measures passed by the New York State Legislature. One was of a bill that recognizes the Montaukett Indian Nation. As East Hampton Town declared in a proclamation in November, “the Montaukett remain resilient.” But don’t tell that to Governor Hochul. The Montaukett were the victims of a land grab in a 1910 court case, Pharaoh v. Benson. “The New York State courts removed recognition from the Montaukett in a racist decision based on the legal fiction that the Montaukett were extinct to justify what could only be described as a ... by Karl Grossman

President for a Day

In the late summer of 2000, my husband, William Grandfield Murphy, and I were by chance invited to an East Hampton house party to welcome the president and Mrs. Clinton to our island. We were active Democrats at that time but a bit surprised that we little Democrats were even thought of. Nevertheless, there we were. So we put on our summer finery and attended. What a crowd under the big tent. Lots of bigwigs, including our local prince, Tim Bishop. (I think of him as our prince.) I was nosy to see how the Clintons acted together, given the ... by Staff Writer
