While East Hampton Soccer Fever’s entry in the Wednesday evening men’s 7-on-7 soccer league is no more, its successor, the East Hampton Soccer Club, given some strong additions, looks promising indeed.

Attendance was robust at Matej Zlatkovic’s pickleball clinics at the East Hampton Indoor-Outdoor Tennis Club last weekend. The game is easy to pick up and less taxing than tennis.

Bonac field hockey wins three straight, while girls volleyball tops rival Westhampton Beach in five sets.

Bonac girls tennis, swimming, and volleyball are at home Friday, while the boys and girls cross-country teams head to Rhode Island Saturday, a day that also brings the Hamptons Marathon and Half-Marathon to Southampton.

Two of the greatest movements to warmer climes from colder ones that take place each year in both the Old and New Worlds are the great migrations of butterflies and dragonflies.

As seems to happen every year, summer appears to get shorter and shorter. Memorial Day arrives and with a quick blink of the eye, Labor Day appears to roll right in.

It has often been said that if you weren’t for impeachment already, you were not paying attention, but nothing has been quite enough.

As a legal standoff between East Hampton Town and the Springs Fire District over a disputed radio and cellphone tower drags on toward a fourth year, emergency communications — as well as mobile phone service — in the populous hamlet remains poor to nonexistent.

For some time, we have observed that the East Hampton Village Zoning Board of Appeals operates in what seems to be a universe unto itself.

Ketchup was a kitchen staple when I was growing up in the 1940s, as it still is in most American households. You know the saying, “What’s good for General Motors is good for the country”? I think we might better be able to chart the zeitgeist of the United States by keeping an eye not on auto production but on our national condiment.

North Main Street was blocked this week as a crew hired by the Long Island Rail Road worked on raising two trestles about three feet above their current grade. The project had been a long time coming. For years, trucks too tall to make it through the underpass there and at Accabonac Road have done damage to the trestle. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which oversees the L.I.R.R., had had enough.

A survey by the Pew Research Center observed that 63 percent of Jews say they’re either “fairly certain they believe in God” or are in some place of nonbelief or questioning. Unless we have an honest an conversation about spirituality, this “God gap” will continue to widen.

I’m getting near the end of the Old Testament now, and it surely has been a test.

An East Hampton Chamber of Commerce talk on retaining employees, and new hires at WordHampton and Town & Country.

Dear David:

Although no domestic release date has been set, “Good Posture,” a film by Dolly Wells starring her friend Emily Mortimer of Amagansett, will open in the United Kingdom on Friday, Oct. 4.

The next two JDT Lab productions at Guild Hall conjure up the 16th-century English authors Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare. But look closer and you’ll see that Friday evening’s production is “The Daerie Queene,” a play by Savannah Hankinson.

It’s easy to fall in love with the work of Hilary Pecis at Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton. Judging by the many paintings already sold there, quite a few have.

OptoSonic Tea will present a four-hour, site-specific indoor-outdoor multimedia performance by video and sound artists from around the world Friday from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Parrish Art Museum.
