Youth Lacrosse Is Out of the Cradle

1 week ago | easthamptonstar.com | Jack Graves

Ricky Smith, a former professional and University of Virginia lacrosse player who has spent the past four years overseeing youth lacrosse programs here with his wife, Meredith (also a Virginia lacrosse alum), was happy to say the other day that East End Lacrosse “has grown to include 144 boys and girls, after starting with just a handful of kids in the first clinics held at the Neighborhood House with Project Most.” The group now includes kids from Southampton to Montauk.

Bacteria levels that exceed health standards continued to impact many sites on the East End in 2024, according to the Eastern Long Island Blue Water Task Force, the Surfrider Foundation’s volunteer-led water quality monitoring program. And now the public can access the data collection by way of new signs at beaches that link via QR code to the task force website.
Hamptons JazzFest Kicks It Off

It is an unmistakable sign of momentum that Sunday’s launch party for the fifth annual Hamptons JazzFest has surpassed 650 registrants, forcing both a change in format to an open house-style gathering and a change in location from inside the Southampton Arts Center to in as well as outdoors, on its grounds.

Weeks before Stony Brook Medicine’s hospitals and providers were to be removed from UnitedHealthcare’s network following the expiration of a contract, the two parties have come to terms with respect to new agreements for hospital, physician, and ancillary services, according to Stony Brook Medicine officials.

When Donald Horowitz heard about a cherry tomato that was purple through and through, he was instantly intrigued. “I’m always looking for something that is either new or different to present to the customer,” said the co-owner of Wittendale’s, a florist and garden center that squeezes a remarkable array of plants onto just over an acre on East Hampton’s Newtown Lane.
When the Music Factory Was King

1 week ago | easthamptonstar.com | Christopher Walsh

There was a time, before laptops and samplers and entire libraries of virtual orchestras, when musicians got together in a room and played instruments and sang. These sounds would be recorded on magnetic tape, massaged with compressors and equalizers and reverbs, mixed, mastered, pressed onto vinyl discs, sold in a shop, and taken home to be listened to from start to finish, perhaps hundreds of times. Does that sound like ancient history? To some, it might.
Despite Rain, Water Quality Holds Steady

1 week ago | easthamptonstar.com | Christopher Walsh

Despite recent rainfall, water quality did not significantly worsen this week compared to last week, according to Concerned Citizens of Montauk, and some sites even improved, particularly in East Hampton and Accabonac Harbor. However, C.C.O.M.'s water testing this week continues to show elevated levels of enterococcus bacteria at many of its test sites, and results from 10 Montauk sites were not included in the results released on Wednesday because of suspected procedural errors.
‘No Kings’ Rallies Were Festive but Anxious

1 week ago | easthamptonstar.com | Christopher Walsh

A festive mood mingled with anxiety and resolve at the “No Kings” rallies in East Hampton Town and Sag Harbor Village on Saturday, a protest against the Trump administration that coincided with multiple events, including a parade ostensibly to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Continental Army, Flag Day, and the president’s 79th birthday. The head-spinning news cycle of President Trump’s second term continues apace.
Gristmill: Over or Under?

1 week ago | easthamptonstar.com | Baylis Greene

“What, did you grow up in a barn?” More teasing than mean, these were among the last words I heard from my grandfather, a former high school football coach, athletic director at Rockland County Community College, and combat veteran of the Pacific theater. He was visiting from the Florida Panhandle maybe two dozen years ago, and the offense was my failure to remove my beat-up old baseball cap as we sat down to eat at the Fairway restaurant at Poxabogue. It was one of those welcome rebukes.
