We Are Dinosaurs

Some years ago, at an old farmer’s funeral, his son, eulogizing, looked out and upon the congregation. His eyes fell on all those familiars as if we were strangers or suspects. He looked high into the balcony and repeated what he’d just said. “Some of you, here today don’t know it, but you are dinosaurs … dinosaurs.” He continued, giving fantastic details of his father’s humble and yet adventurous life. The dinosaurs in the room could perhaps begin to identify themselves. He was talking about the lumbering, tinkering, committed types working wholesale vegetable farms with their family in tow.

Proposed Bridgehampton Horse Farm Clears First Hurdle

If anyone still thought that a horse farm, proposed for a 30-acre open field in Bridgehampton, could be staved off, those thoughts were disavowed on Thursday, September 26, when the Southampton Town Planning Board reviewed a presubmission conference report — a precursor to a formal application — for North Edge Stables II, LLC. The property owner wants to build a facility for up to 26 horses with stables, riding rings, a garage for farm equipment and horse trailers, and employee housing at the corner of Lumber Lane and Scuttle Hole Road. Wayne Bruyn, the attorney for Gabi Morris, who has ... 2 Oct 2024 by Stephen J. Kotz

History Comes Alive at Hunters Garden

It is the third Thursday in May, and history and tradition have come to life in a large clearing in a wooded area off the Moriches-Riverhead Road, somewhere near the border of Southampton and Brookhaven towns. Some of the gathering of around 100 men, and a few women, mill around the site, while others are seated in a long column of picnic tables running the length of the clearing, from which, at its farthest reach, wafts an alluring aroma as multiple pots of eel chowder and Manhattan clam chowder bubble over campfires. Nearby, a half-dozen men surround a table on ... by Christopher Walsh
