“This is about us,” the speaker told a gathering in East Hampton last Thursday. “There’s a global issue, which we’re all aware of, but East Hampton is going to change dramatically if we don’t turn this around and start doing the right thing.”

The charms of Salt Cay, a small island in Turks and Caicos with hard-baked ground and little shade, hammered by hurricanes, and cut off from many of the conveniences of daily life, will not be immediately — or ever — apparent to some.

Portions of East Hampton Airport and the surrounding area have been named to a state Superfund list in an ongoing crisis caused by chemical contamination of groundwater.

Dear David,

“Younger,” Darren Star’s delightful indulgence of a series that started off slowly on TV Land but has built its audience steadily year after year, primarily by word of mouth, is back for its sixth season, beginning Wednesday night.

The director John Landis is best known for his comedies, among them “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” “Trading Places,” “Three Amigos,” and “The Blues Brothers.” But that’s not why Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan turned to him to select the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center’s next film series.

A new comedy-drama called “The Prompter” is getting its world premiere now through June 16 at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.
