Concerns about fighting on Southampton High School grounds and a rampant rumor about a threat of violence targeting the school culminated in a raucous community meeting Monday evening involving Southampton... more
As the mayor of Southampton Village, I would like to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to all those who contributed to the amazing success of our recent Parade of Lights and Tree Lighting event. This cherished tradition, which brings such joy to our community, would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of many individuals and organizations. Taking place every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, this year saw a record crowd of over 4,000 people in our village. And what an evening we had! A special thanks to Andrew Pilaro, Mark Parash and Julie ...

On Pond Lane in Southampton Village, our remarkable community came together in November in an inspiring and uplifting way. Members of the Southampton Artists Association had their creativity and compassion on display at their second annual fundraiser art exhibit for Heart of the Hamptons — 96 works of art sold, raising funds for those in need at this particularly fragile time. What made this effort special was not only the talent displayed but the spirit and generosity behind it from artists and visitors. Southampton Artist Association members dedicated hours to planning, collecting and hanging 171 works of art, setting up, ...

This unfortunate Afghani accused in the attack on National Guard members in Washington, D.C.: Did they check him for PTSD and brain damage from being near explosions? These are proving to be real issues that lead to impulsive and destructive behavior. If we the invaders recognize this in ourselves, how much worse is it for people who are trying to directly defend themselves and their families … and to deal with the destruction of their country? The lack of empathy is incomprehensible. We will now forbid entry to any from “third world” countries. Guess where the greatest possible economic and ...

As a member of The Southampton Association, I applaud its goal of “inform[ing] homeowners of issues affecting the general welfare of Southampton Village.” Unfortunately, a recent email to its members regarding the Gin Lane plantings does the opposite. The association’s email stated, “While there has been some last-minute discussion over the process, the Lake Agawam Conservancy received approval from the [Department of Environmental Conservation] and the Village Board and followed all the requirements as then in place.” Leave aside that the discussion was “last-minute” only because there was never any presentation of the landscaping/planting plan to the public; I and ...

It’s a good thing that Congressman Nick LaLota wasn’t conducting a town hall when he penned “Position Unchanged” [Letters, December 4] claiming that he was always all for releasing the Epstein files. Otherwise, it might have been hard to keep a straight face while stating, “It is wrong to claim that President Donald Trump has resisted transparency.” LaLota did, in fact, vote “yes” on a bill to force the Justice Department to release the files — but that was after he declined to join other lawmakers in the discharge petition that forced the vote. LaLota also reportedly remained concerned that ...

First, I want to thank Congressman Nick LaLota for taking the time to respond to my letter published on November 27 [“Position Unchanged,” Letters, December 4]. Second, the congressman characterizes my letter as “partisan,” but I didn’t criticize him because he is Republican. It was only because the congressman felt it necessary to find out something about me that he regarded as negative that my political donations found their way into the congressman’s reply. I remain concerned with the following irrefutable facts: The congressman did not sign the discharge petition, without which the vote on the floor of the House ...
