• Greenporter Roselle Borrelli doesn’t scare easily, but when she bought a historic house in the village, the ghosts she encountered there shook her to the core. Read our discussion with Ms. Borrelli on her new book about the experience, “Greenport: Right Place, Wrong Time.”

• Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is collecting batteries, flashlights, portable lanterns, diapers, baby wipes, cases of water, and feminine hygiene products to send to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria’s devastation. The collection box, for unopened products in their original packaging, is in the main lobby of the hospital at 240 Meeting House Lane in Southampton. All supplies collected will be brought to an Empire State Relief and Recovery collection site every weekend beginning this Saturday, October 7. Financial contributions can also be made. Checks can be made payable to Southampton Hospital Foundation with a note clarifying that it is for the Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief Fund. All checks should be mailed to the Foundation at 240 Meeting House Lane, Southampton, NY 11968. The hospital is also gathering a crew of medical personnel to travel to Puerto Rico to assist in the recovery.
