Proposed Bridgehampton Horse Farm Clears First Hurdle

authorStephen J. Kotz on Oct 2, 2024
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... more

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

It's Immigration, Too

James Carville, a campaign advisor to Bill Clinton in the early 1990s, was the first to say it: “It’s the economy, stupid.” This truism about national elections holds water: While pundits talk about so many other issues at stake, the economy is usually the one that moves people the most when they cast a vote for president. There’s no reason to think 2024 will be any different. That said, there are several other important issues in that race this year, and they filter down to the 1st District race for the U.S. House of Representatives, where they take on even ... by Editorial Board

Don't Lose Faith

It is my hope that when you cast your votes for the upcoming election that you take into consideration the future of our democracy, our country and our lives. I hope, regardless of your party affiliation, that you vote for John Avlon in District 1’s congressional election. For the past six years, I have listened to the messages coming from the Republican Party. They have been divisive, hateful, racist, untruthful and tend to incite acts of violence. They are anti-education, anti-climate change initiatives, anti-immigration, anti-journalists and honest news reporting, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-gun-control legislation, against the separation of church and state, etc. ... by Staff Writer

Really Motivated

A note of thanks to the coward who stole the Harris/Walz signs in our neighborhood. This shameful violation really motivated me to get busy writing postcards, donating and canvassing for our Democrat candidates. It energized me more than ever to turn the page on extreme right-wing MAGA policies that strip women of their personal rights, deny climate change and promote disinformation with a daily fire hose of lies. If you’re eager to help elect honest candidates who will put us first and carry the country forward, and end the toxicity of the racist orange relic, visit John Avlon’s headquarters at ... by Staff Writer

A Team Sport

This isn’t a statement for or against, only for information not given. This is to question the latest “27Speaks” podcast with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. I can’t say I have heard her speak often. I wish she elaborated on the history of the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment. It had seven years to be ratified after it was passed by Congress. Thirty-eight states needed to sign on. Thirty-five did. Jimmy Carter extended the deadline for an additional three years, until June 30, 1982. No other state signed on until Nevada in 2017, Illinois in 2018, and, as she mentioned in the podcast, ... by Staff Writer
