  • Moving On: The Annual Spring Shuffle

    Moving On: The Annual Spring Shuffle
    Mar 26 2026
    This is the time of year when changes are afoot on the East End as new businesses open, old ones close and still others look to relocate. This year is no different, but already it seems as if more changes than usual are coming to Sag Harbor’s business district in the months ahead. From “Miracle,” a new restaurant expected to open at 29 Main Street in early May, to GeekHampton, the Hamptons only authorized Apple service center, opting to leave its longtime headquarters on Bay Street for a new location in Hamptons Bays, the times, they are indeed a changing. This week, the editors are joined by news reporter Cailin Riley who takes a tour of all the openings, closings and changes of venue that she knows about to date. But of course, there are likely to be more that come to light in the weeks and months ahead. So stay tuned!

  • Game Changer: Kathy Masterson Reflects on Decades of Coaching, Leading and Winning

    Game Changer: Kathy Masterson Reflects on Decades of Coaching, Leading and Winning
    Mar 19 2026
    As a teacher, high school coach and athletic director, Kathy Masterson has shepherded a lot of student-athletes through high school sports programs over the years, beginning with her own alma mater, Southampton High School, in the mid-1990s. From there, positions followed at Shelter Island and Westhampton Beach — where she worked as a physical education teacher for several years before being named AD in 2006. In 2022, Masterson became the AD for the East Hampton School District. Earlier this month, Masterson announced that she will retire from her East Hampton position at the end of this school year. This week, Masterson joins editors Annette Hinkle and Drew Budd as well as news reporter (and sports lover) Cailin Riley to talk about the legacy of championship high school teams on the East End, her dedication to local athletes and her passion for building the best athletic program that she can.
