Defining the Future

Paula Angelone’s recent Letter to the Editor [“Sound Familiar?” Letters, April 11] was extremely disturbing, as she blamed Benjamin Netanyahu for the recent problems in Israel, not Hamas. Let me remind Ms. Angelone that Israel is currently in a war because thousands of Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, killing Jews, raping women, beheading children and burning some alive, and kidnapping hundreds. They didn’t cross the border stating that we need a two-state solution. They crossed to willfully and wantonly kill Jews. I must say, blaming Netanyahu for his response, along with Israel’s response, is both irresponsible and defies logic. Netanyahu has ... by Staff Writer

It’s Not Pretty

Hate has talked so loudly for so long. Greed has talked so loudly for so long. Liars have talked so loudly for so long. LOVE has got to stop whispering. Those words, by Marianne Williamson, have resonated with me since I first read them. Those words serve as our motivation for East End YIMBY and all the advocacy we do for our community. In a media world, where “if it bleeds, it leads,” it’s tough to get the same coverage of issues when wack-a-doodles come out yelling and screaming against virtually everything. Their often unfathomable demands get center stage, while ... by Staff Writer

Summer Buzz

They have begun again, the infernal sounds of summer. Loud buzzing every day, all day, even the early evening, when one might wish to enjoy a glass of wine in the garden. The Town of East Hampton has had the decency to establish some limits on the production of lawn care cacophony, but so far Southampton Town has not, due, no doubt, to special interests represented on its board.

From Camelot to COVID

There is an amusing scene in the film “Casablanca” when Rick Blaine says he came to Casablanca “for the waters.” When told there are no waters there, he replies, “I was misinformed.” It looks like, this year, two of the three presidential candidates will be competing for who can misinform the most voters. I thought about this a couple of weeks ago when, by the windmill in Sag Harbor, several people had set up a table to promote the delusional interests of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The table has not reappeared since, but a poster remains at the foot of ... by Tom Clavin

Misinformation

I am writing to address the misinformation circulating on social media and around the village regarding the recent water levels of Old Town Pond following the rainstorms we’ve experienced. It is true that we have seen significant rainfall in the past few weeks, and our team has been diligently monitoring the situation. We have implemented various measures to manage the water levels effectively, including controlled release to prevent any issues. To lower Old Town Pond, we must open the pipe to the ocean. To drop the water level 3 inches at Old Town Pond, the pipe needs to stay open ... by Staff Writer

Reaping the Benefits

A recent email from Congressman Nick LaLota informs his constituents that he “secured $150 million in direct funding for Suffolk County.” This money will be used to support infrastructure programs for Long Island communities. Some clarification is in order. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was passed in November 2021. You might recall that during his presidency former President Donald Trump advocated infrastructure investment — but due to his ineptness in understanding how to get things done in Washington, D.C., meaningful infrastructure laws were never passed. In fact, during his administration, “Infrastructure Week” became a running joke. All talk, no ... by Staff Writer
