When the COVID-19 pandemic began last March, Sarah Christ transitioned from her office to home to complete her seasonal work as a tax preparer. Having been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2016, Ms. Christ took extra precautions to safeguard herself from the respiratory disease.
With a new tax season approaching, and a return to work on the horizon, Ms. Christ began weighing the options of working from home again or traveling back to the office as a boost for her mental health.

Residents plagued for many years by helicopter noise could find relief from a decision in the hands of the East Hampton Town Board.
The expiration of the contract East Hampton has with its airport management expires on Sept. 20, 2021. By that time, it will be up to the East Hampton Town Board to either extend the contract for use of the town-owned site, allowing the airport to continue to operate, or refuse a renewal, in which case the airport would close.
