A spaghetti and meatball dinner at the Montauk Firehouse on Saturday will raise money for Randy Hoffman, a volunteer and paid critical care emergency medical technician who has ridden on every ambulance on the South Fork and is recovering from spinal surgery complications at San Simeon by the Sea in Greenport.
There will be two seatings from 4:30 to 6:30 and 6:30 to 9. Tickets cost $15 and can be purchased at the firehouse and from many of the Montauk E.M.T.s or by calling 631-668-5695.
From the late 1980s until the early 2000s, it would not have been unusual to see Sigrid Owen near Fort Pond or Hook Pond — large net or perhaps a bag of cracked corn in hand — on a mission. Ms. Owen, who would have been 98 on Feb. 7, died on May 23 of last year.
Most women don’t realize cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat. That’s why the American Heart Association named the first Friday of February National Wear Red Day, and offered lessons on hands-only CPR at places like Scoville Hall in Amagansett last week.
The ground will be covered in white for this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count, which starts Friday and lasts through Sunday, and that means feeders could be especially active and potentially yield some surprises.
