Stony Brook Southampton Hospital kicked off a winterlong coat drive last week, asking for donations of new or gently worn coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to help people in need.
They can be dropped off at the hospital on Meeting House Lane, the Southampton Town Police Department headquarters at 110 Old Riverhead Road in Hampton Bays, or the Quogue Village Police Department at 115 Jessup Avenue. The drive will run through Feb. 25.
Memorial Day weekend was a washout at East Hampton Village’s vaunted beaches, but inclement weather did not dampen the enthusiasm felt by Sean Daly for his new role as the village’s chief lifeguard, succeeding Drew Smith.
Elizabeth Parsons Edwards (1874-1943), seen in this undated photo, worked her family farm on Fireplace Road, canning vegetables and making everything from butter to clothing to music.
New York City residents who plan to spend Memorial Day weekend on the South Fork and commuters who rely on the train to cut through the eastbound morning traffic were breathing easier as of Monday night, when a strike called by a coalition of five Long Island Rail Road unions was settled.
