Beth Young on the ‘way of life’ that was

Beth Young, journalist-founder of the East End Beacon newspaper and 13th-generation member of a North Fork founding family, talks about the very different North Fork her brand new granddaughter will call home. It’s part lament, part hard-nosed reality seen through the eyes of one of our leading journalists. (Broadcast on WPKN October 6, 2021)

  1. Great interview about an extremely important topic. Several vital subjects were covered. It couldn’t have been said better than Beth Young said it.

  2. Your comments about the North Fork are insightful, and enlightening, especially from a native’s point of view. Solutions?As a relative newcomer of 26 years, I would welcome ways to improve the community.

About Leafages

"Credo" statement

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
