Dear East Hampton Star,

Little League 11-Under Girls Head Upstate

No sooner had East Hampton’s 11-under softball players celebrated their regional championship “mercy rule” win over the Bohemia-based Sunrise Hawks here on Sunday than they were called back to resume play, so they promptly wrapped it up, 22-7.

He Jet-Skied the Distance for Julia

After Tom Cronin and Toby Green, both Shelter Islanders, circumnavigated Long Island, a distance of about 250 miles, last Sept. 11 on Jet Skis, Green suggested that their next run be to Key West, so they turned the trip into a world record attempt and a fund-raiser.

Ocean Swims and Sprint Triathlon Drew Double-Dippers

There was a double dip athletic-wise in Montauk last weekend — the 5K, one-mile, and half-mile ocean challenge swims for the Montauk Playhouse Foundation on Saturday and the Lighthouse sprint triathlon the next day.

Top Seeds Win in 7-on-7 Semifinals

Nature Notes: Heating Up

It was so hot that nature at night overwhelmed nature during the day. On the evening of July 16, for one example, during Dai Dayton’s full moon walk, the trees and wetlands were alive with the sounds of tree crickets and tree frogs and the air was alive with fireflies.

Lobster Boil on the Go

Last weekend’s heatwave reminded me why I went to college in Buffalo and not to the palm-fringed campus of the University of Florida. It wasn’t just for the education, but also to enjoy the snow, bitterly cold winds, and to play ice hockey as much as I could. Sounds weird, eh?

Havens Beach Closed to Bathing

Due to heavy rainfall, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services has warned against bathing at Havens Beach in Sag Harbor based on the potential of high bacteria levels that exceed New York standards.

East End Eats: K Pasa: A Promising Newcomer
