Stony Brook University commemorated its latest advancement in medical care for children with the completion of the new Stony Brook Children’s Hospital addition.

The prices listed here have been calculated from the county transfer tax. Unless otherwise noted, the parcels contain structures.

New York likes to think it is first in almost everything, but in adopting an early voting procedure, it ranks 38th among the states. Better late than never, as the cliché goes; however, early voting will be allowed this year for the first time.

Between unsolicited cellphone calls and hard-to-get-rid-of computer popups, it’s a wonder that any of us come out whole at the end of a day.

The Hamptons International Film Festival got me thinking about the starring role the Rattray family’s Amagansett house played in “Annie Hall,” Woody Allen’s 1977 movie starring Diane Keaton. I haven’t seen “Annie Hall” in a long time, but much of it has stayed with me.

I have a friend who knows the names of the stars. A few of them, anyway, she says. I do not know what the stars are called; a few constellations, maybe, yes, but individual stars, no.

A court-ordered auction of 12 acres of land, located at 395 Pantigo Road in East Hampton, will be held on Nov. 12. The minimum bid has been set at $2.5 million.

Somewhere in the Midwest, where if you’re anti-Trump you must speak in lowered tones, I had my hair cut — well, so to speak, inasmuch as there isn’t much left — and was at one point during my monologue — for I can’t hear without my hearing aids, and thus feel I must hold forth when in the chair — asked if I read.

“Yes,” I said.

Serves as a Refuge

East Hampton

October 14, 2019

Dear David,

How fortunate for East Hampton Village that there is the unspoiled 24-acre Nature Trail at its heart. It hums at its own rhythm and to me represents a sort of God-given place, or natural wonder, that simply was meant to be.

I loved my nirvana on the corner where I savored chance encounters with all comers — locals, tourists, art and film mavens, even an occasional boldface name. But then began my maiden skirmish in N.Y.C.’s internecine war over booze.

The pilot who was flying the small plane that crashed off Amagansett in June of 2018, killing all four people aboard, including Bonnie and Ben Krupinski, last radioed in to air traffic control that he was at 700 feet and “coming in underneath” the thunderstorm, according to the findings of a National Transportation Safety Board investigation.

East End residents woke up to flooding, power outages, and downed trees on Thursday morning after a powerful storm blew through the region on Wednesday night.

Politics makes strange bedfellows, and in East Hampton, this year there may be no stranger political couple than East Hampton Town Justice Lisa R. Rana, a lifelong Republican, and David Gruber, a Democrat who is running for town supervisor but not on the Democratic line.

The two Pantigo Place East Hampton Little League baseball fields that will be displaced by construction of the Southampton Hospital Association’s planned emergency care facility could be relocated to the grounds of the former Child Development Center of the Hamptons on Stephen Hand’s Path.

In a move that could set a precedent allowing the owners of condominiums to expand their units, and over the objection of East Hampton Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, Suffolk County has paved the way for a unit at the Montauk Shores condominium complex to be replaced with a larger one.

If she is elected to the East Hampton Town Board, Elizabeth Bambrick said last week, it will be “because people want me to change things.”

October often means pumpkin spice lattes, Halloween costumes, and baseball playoffs, but for high school seniors navigating the college admissions process, this month isn’t all fun and games.

Between filling out applications, answering multiple essay questions, building their résumés, taking tests, and just being normal kids, college application season is tough for many.

"Be as vocal as possible in asking for help,” said Anabel Graff, a college essay coach.

A woman was arrested in Montauk Sunday evening after she punctured a tire on her husband’s vehicle and pushed another woman, East Hampton Town police said.

Suffolk County’s still-pure water sources are irreplaceable resources that must be preserved and protected, State Assemblyman Steve Englebright told a gathering in Amagansett on Oct. 4.
