The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons will hold its next Pet Food Pantry event on Jan. 16.
Donations of food, for both cats and dogs, will be welcomed, and ARF will distribute pet food to community members needing it. Both donations and distribution will take place on that day, a Saturday, from noon to 3 p.m. at 124 Daniels Hole Road in Wainscott.
Bags and cans of wet and dry food or treats must be unopened. Social distancing will be observed, and ARF has asked that all visitors wear masks.
From the late 1980s until the early 2000s, it would not have been unusual to see Sigrid Owen near Fort Pond or Hook Pond — large net or perhaps a bag of cracked corn in hand — on a mission. Ms. Owen, who would have been 98 on Feb. 7, died on May 23 of last year.
Most women don’t realize cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat. That’s why the American Heart Association named the first Friday of February National Wear Red Day, and offered lessons on hands-only CPR at places like Scoville Hall in Amagansett last week.
The ground will be covered in white for this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count, which starts Friday and lasts through Sunday, and that means feeders could be especially active and potentially yield some surprises.
