On Saturday at 4 p.m., artist April Gornik offers an encore presentation at The Church in Sag Harbor of her recent talk about the landscapes of Egon Schiele, which she presented at the Neue Galerie in New York City last month. The lecture includes images and insights into landscape painting as a contemplation of nature and the landscape at large. Gornik will focus on both Schiele’s contemporary context and the artists he may be likened to in more recent context in the decades following his untimely death.

For the last few months, the board, which opened public hearings on each of the four proposed houses in July, has focused on the plans of builder Matthew Pantofel to construct two of the four houses — one at 7 Marsden Street and another right behind it at 9 Marsden Street. Plans for two others next to them at 11 and 15 Marsden have been put on hold for now.

When it comes to plants as gifts, it’s always a hard call. If your gardener is experienced or has a special collection it makes it even more difficult, but there are some options that give you a great deal of leeway.

“Two of my favorite films this year, ‘Megalopolis’ and ‘The Brutalist,’ tell the story of intrepid architects whose art — through the use of space, materials, light and the landscape — envisions a better world,” explained Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan, Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center's artistic director. “It made me think of how much utopia is a fitting cinematic subject. Film has dreamed the future so many times.”

The cinema is hosting “The Shape of Homes to Come,” a special screening event on Sunday at 4 p.m. The event will feature architect Raffaella Bortoluzzi, founder of Raffaella Bortoluzzi Architecture, and journalist Filippo Brunamonti discussing the former’s project involving 3D printing to build housing for underprivileged communities and a short film he executive produced focusing on the project. After that, attendees will get to watch the 1936 H.G. Wells adaptation “Things to Come” and see how hopes for the future were seen through architecture decades ago.

The Sag Harbor Cinema's program illustrates how architecture can shape the future, both inside and outside the movies.

In 2002, the town paid David Schellinger $5.2 million to remove the development rights off 107.6 acres of land, but the town, which had tried and failed to purchase the land outright, raised concerns about the potential for additional clearing and other uses that could degrade the property.

Trustee Aidan Corish, who served on the Sessions panel, said a high priority for next summer would be to find parking outside of the business district for employees. He said he did not think the village could solve the parking shortage for the estimated 400 employees who drive into the village each day, but if it could find spaces for 100 of them, it would be a step in the right direction.

By Stephen J. Kotz The Sag Harbor Village Board announced that it would hold a workshop at 5 p.m. on Monday to solicit public comment on the issue of parking in the business district. The workshop follows an Express Sessions panel discussion on Thurs

Sue is an Elliston, who grew up on Norris Lane in Bridgehampton. Al, who grew up on Springs-Fireplace Road, is a 13th generation Bonacker whose ancestors arrived in East Hampton in the 1640s. With a mother who was a Miller and a grandmother who was a Lester, Daniels figures he is related to just about everyone whose families were among the town’s founders. “I have a lot of cousins,” he said.

The evidence may be anecdotal, but North Haven Village Trustee Claas Abraham, who oversees the village’s 4-Poster program, said the deer feeding stations, which apply a coating of the insecticide permethrin to a deer’s neck and shoulders when it bends down to eat the corn the station provides, are having a marked impact on the number of disease-carrying ticks that are being found in the village’s woods and fields.
