From Farm Stand to Night Stand

What do you wake up to each morning? A lover, a child, a pet — perhaps all of the above? Or maybe, like me, you wake up not only to a quietness, but also to the presence of flowers placed near your pillow. The most fragrant of blooms greet in scent before their mood-boosting color says good morning once you open your eyes.

R. Scott Barter, 79

Ralph Scott Barter of East Hampton, a member of the village’s Department of Emergency Medical Service for 15 years, died of lung cancer on April 4. A graveside service will be held on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at Most Holy Trinity Cemetery on Cedar Street.
