Letter: Moroccan magic a new trend in local cuisine
Great coverage of Gloria and Earl Fultz’s long overdue production of Gloria’s Moroccan magic. Let’s hope this is an overture to a new trend in North Fork cuisine. Back in the last century, Gloria generously shared with me her recipe for mirouzia, a Moroccan lamb stew that involved a complex combination...

Featured Letter: Organic lawns don’t require more time, money
To the editor: Carrie Miller’s recent article on lawn care was excellent, but readers may have gotten the impression that “organic” lawns require more time and money. I disagree. The most important tips I got from experts at Cornell take no time, require no products and cost nothing (they actually save money): 1....

Column: ‘Kramering’ your way into newspapers
I wasn’t sure if the young people in the classroom were going to get the “Seinfeld” reference. I figured the St. John’s University journalism students I was invited to speak with Monday had to be 5, maybe 6 years old when that show went off the air. I was in Queens...

Column: More tears for Newtown massacre
Yes, it’s true: I’m a crybaby. I cry at movies (“Shane,” “Cast Away,” etc.), I cried for two weeks straight as an 11-year-old at summer camp and I cried again Sunday night as we were watching “60 Minutes.” But I wasn’t the only one crying Sunday night. Many of those being...

Editorial: Is it time to rethink entire approach on pesticides?
As surely as spring brings warmer days and greener fields, there’s no end in sight to the tug of war over the use of pesticides and curtailing their use to reduce their effect on the environment, especially in our drinking water. It has been thus for decades. The agricultural community has...

Column: What wine goes best with matzoh?
Did you know that the Beatles were not Catholic? It was a shock to learn that fact, which, as I recall, a sibling shared with 10-year-old yours truly on the way home from a trip to the barber shop one Saturday morning. Given that the old man served in the Army...

Editorial: Controlled burns a vital tool to prevent more wildfires
April showers bring May flowers, the saying goes. But not last year. April 2012 brought raging wildfires to the region, including a blaze that blackened over 1,100 acres from eastern Brookhaven into Riverhead Town, destroying homes and property and injuring volunteer firefighters along the way. Already this year, on Wednesday, the National...

Featured Letter: Bring an osprey home this summer
To the editor: I’m so excited that I saw one of my first ospreys of the season. That means we are really close to the return of the North Fork Osprey collegiate baseball team. They’re one of seven teams in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League that play here on the East End. This...

Letter: Instead of banning soda, how about tobacco?
To the editor: With so many of our politicians concerned for the health and well-being of their constituents, with their laws on banning large sugary drinks, hiding cigarettes behind the counters as well as banning “energy drinks” from teenagers, I have to wonder why not one of these elected officials has...

Guest Column: Power lines ignored, but trees are savaged
LIPA savaged my trees. They say they are protecting the power lines, but cutting the trees in half wasn’t necessary. There has to be a better way. I know it’s not an easy job. Perhaps it always will be thankless, trying to provide utility services in an efficient, cost-effective manner. We might...

Column: One life ends, but another begins anew
This is one of those columns that’s pretty much going to write itself, I think. Sometimes I struggle to find a worthy subject (and sometimes I don’t find one), but this week there’s just one thing on my mind: the continuum of life. That subject is unavoidable due to the confluence...

Editorial: Dog law has us scratching for an answer
Reading the latest chapter in the ongoing tale of the battle over free-running dogs on the beach, someone from out of town might find the whole issue perplexing. How can it be that people living in one of the East Coast’s most desirable communities, an area blessed with abundant natural beauty,...

Featured Letter: North Fork deserves an assemblyman representing district
To the editor: The absence of a state assemblyman representing our district is a very poor reflection on the state of New York government. Former assemblyman Dan Losquadro, who was elected in good faith to represent us in Albany, abdicated his post after only 2 1/2 years to run for a totally...

Column: Pope’s concern for the poor is encouraging
Progressive Catholics are reportedly less than enthusiastic about the election to the papacy of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He is, after all, a 76-year-old conservative theologian who has spoken out forcefully and consistently against same-sex marriage, women in the priesthood, abortion and contraception But if these stands place him out of...

Guest Spot: Look at the child, not just the test scores
I like to say good morning to our students. No, actually I love saying good morning to our students. When I say this I mean to several hundred students as they arrive, and not a few as I may see them passing in the hall. It’s a simple act that has...

Editorial: Election should coincide with school vote
More than a week has passed since Dan Losquadro was sworn in as Brookhaven Town highway superintendent and still no date has been set for a special election to replace him in the New York State Assembly. That responsibility falls squarely on New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who could opt...

Featured Letter: Music education too vital to lose
To the editor: While home on spring break, I heard an awful rumor that the North Fork public schools were strongly considering cutting their music programs. Music being one of my majors, I could not imagine students at Mattituck or any other school not having the same opportunities I did. Music...
