Question: One which end of Long Island does Star Black teach?
Context: Stony Brook Southampton is a campus location of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, located in Southampton, New York between the Shinnecock Indian Reservation and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on the eastern end of Long Island. The Montauk Steamboat Company, Ltd. was located at Pier 13, East River, New York City, US.  It was established in 1898.  It operated steamboats between New York City and the eastern end of Long Island.  The boats ran along the north shore of Long Island.  There were also steamboats to Block Island, Rhode Island where connections were made with Providence and Newport.  Henry Francis Cook was its president; David Van Cleaf was its superintendent.  The company was sold to the Long Island Rail Road Company in 1899 after a deal was struck with Joseph Fahys & Co. who held the majority stock in the steamboat company.  The company office was later moved to Long Island City, Queens, New York. Star Black is a poet, photographer, and artist.  She has authored six collections of poetry and currently teaches in the MFA program at Stony Brook Southampton. The Long Island Electric Railway was a streetcar company operating in Brooklyn, Queens, and Nassau County, New York, United States between 1894 and 1926.  The company was partially owned by the Long Island Consolidated Electric Companies, a holding company for the Long Island Rail Road and partially by August Belmont and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company.  It connected the east end of the Fulton Street El at Crescent Street station in City Line, Brooklyn with Jamaica, Queens, and ran from there to the Nassau County line at Queens Village and to Far Rockaway, Queens via Nassau County.  It also had a connection to Belmont Park.  The New York and Long Island Traction Company used trackage rights over its line from Crescent Street to Queens Village. The outer barrier, also known as the Long Island and New York City barrier islands, refers to the string of barrier islands that divide the lagoons south of Long Island, New York from the Atlantic Ocean.  These islands include Coney Island, Long Beach Barrier Island, Island Park, Jones Beach Island, Fire Island and Westhampton Island.  The outer barrier extends 75 mi along the South Shore of Long Island, from Rockaway Beach on the New York City/Nassau County border from Long Beach Barrier Islands' western edge, to Suffolk County's east end of Shinnecock Bay. U.S. Coast Guard Station Montauk is located on the easternmost end of Long Island in Montauk, New York.

Station Montauk is made up of active duty, reserve, and auxiliary personnel to maintain watch over the south shore of Long Island and Long Island Sound. The Long Island AVA is an American Viticultural Area encompassing Nassau and Suffolk counties of New York, including the smaller offshore islands in those counties.  The AVA was established in 2001, over 15 years after two smaller AVAs were created at the eastern end of Long Island.  The Long Island AVA designation was promoted as a benefit for some wineries located just outside the two smaller AVAs and for wineries that wanted to create wines that use blends from vineyards in different parts of the island.  It was also developed and promoted as a consumer protection of the Long Island name; AVAs require that a minimum of 85% of the fruit used in the designated wine is grown within the borders of the region.  The "Long Island" AVA was authored by veteran Long Island winemaker Richard Olsen-Harbich who also authored the "The Hamptons, Long Island" and "North Fork of Long Island" AVAs in the mid-1980s. Spinney Hills is in East Quogue, New York on the eastern end of the Long Island Central Pine Barrens region.  It is often used as a hiking, hunting, and off-roading area for dirt bikers, quadders, paintballers, and four-wheelers that includes miles of trails with near beach sand consistency.  Spinney hills gets its name because of Spinney Road, which used to connect the East Quogue side of the hills to Sears Bellows County Park and Flanders (home of the Big Duck) to the north prior to the construction of the Sunrise Highway New York State Route 27.  This region was created by glacial deposits of rock and sand during the last ice age.  The sandy soil also absorbs most rainfall so there are few ponds or rivers in the area.  There is a shallow glacial well in Spinney Hills known as an aquifer, which is where most of the rainfall in the region is stored.  These hills are the continuation of a long east west ridge of hills known as the Ronkonkoma Moraine, which form the 'backbone' of Long Island.  Much of this region is undeveloped other than a sand mine to the west and Southampton Pines to the east.  There have been large scale legal battles between private real estate companies and the Town of Southampton over the future of the area, being it is one of the last expanses of wilderness left on Long Island.  There is a very large native population of white-tailed deer in the region due to lack of natural predators.  In the higher elevations small sections of the hills have an almost alpine-desert look, with sandy open plateaus and extremely dwarfed vegetation .  The Dwarf Pitch Pine which dominate the region grow not much taller than twenty feet in height due to dry, nutrient-poor soil.  There is a desert effect in the Pine Barrens, with relatively higher daytime temperatures and cooler nighttime temperatures than the coast, only a few miles away.  There are spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and Peconic Bay from certain peaks in this region if one knows where to hike.  The consistent ocean breeze at the higher elevations passing through the long brushy needles of the Dwarf Pitch Pines creates a gentle whisping sound, or white noise, adding a peaceful ambience to the big skies and expansiveness one feels in this region. The East River is a salt water tidal estuary in New York City.  The waterway, which is actually not a river despite its name, connects Upper New York Bay on its south end to Long Island Sound on its north end.  It separates the borough of Queens on Long Island from the Bronx on the North American mainland, and also divides Manhattan from Queens and Brooklyn, which is also on Long Island.  Because of its connection to Long Island Sound, it was once also known as the "Sound River".  The tidal strait changes its direction of flow frequently, and is subject to strong fluctuations in its current, which are accentuated by its narrowness and variety of depths.  The waterway is navigable for its entire length of 16 mi , and was historically the center of maritime activities in the city, although that is no longer the case. DigNet of New York City & Long Island, formerly known as the New York City & Long Island One Call Center, is a non-profit organization that acts as a communications link between utility companies and individuals planning any mechanized digging activity in the five boroughs of New York City and Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island.  By law, excavators and contractors working in the five boroughs of New York City and Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island must contact DigNet, 1-800-272-4480 or 811, at least 48 hours but no more than 10 working days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) prior to beginning any mechanized digging or excavation work to ensure underground lines are marked.  Excavators and contractors can also submit locate requests online, through [ITIC].  DigNet will then relay the notice of proposed excavation work to its member companies that own and operate underground facilities, including the vital utilities used to power neighborhoods and communities throughout New York City and Long Island.  Representatives from these member companies will then come out and mark their lines, free of charge.
