While the cancellation of big summer events and limits on social gatherings put a major dent in their business, caterers on the East End report that things are picking up in a different way as wedding couples and private clients find ways to cut down their guests lists to hold more intimate celebrations.

Voters on the South Fork have an unusual opportunity to support their preferred candidates and at the same time good causes.

Walleska Ramirez, who is known as Wally, is someone who those on the East End will get to know more and more as the harsh effects of the Covid-19 pandemic continue to emerge.

Ms. Ramirez has been appointed to the new position of crisis response coordinator by Organizacion Latino-Americana of Eastern Long Island, according to an announcement this week by the nonprofit group.

This year's recipient of the Wainscott Business Community Award from the hamlet's citizens advisory committee is the Clubhouse, the restaurant and entertainment center on Daniel's Hole Road that has also served as a food pantry and school campus during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The committee has given awards since 2012, an idea of its late former chairman Rick Del Mastro, to recognize businesses that are leaders here and those that contribute positively to its aesthetics.
