Marilyn Fitterman, a former president of the New York State branch of the National Organization for Women who lived part time in East Hampton, died on Tuesday at her second home in Boynton Beach, Fla. She was 88. An obituary will appear in a future issue.
Amid the headlines on the front page of The East Hampton Star’s issue published 100 years ago today, one directly below the masthead stood out: “CARL FISHER BUYS 9,000 ACRES AT MONTAUK FOR $2,500,000 PLANS HUGE DEVELOPMENT.” With that transaction, East Hampton Town’s easternmost hamlet would never be the same.
Police reports show an uptick in troubling raccoon encounters here. Most or all had distemper, but rabies has been detected up the Island.
On Sunday at Guild Hall, the writer, activist, and environmentalist will address the urgent need for more cost-efficient solar power, and how the U.S. is falling behind.
