Jane Ellen (Beyerman) Rossetti of Southampton, formerly of Floral Park, died at Southampton Hospital on October 6, 2017. She was 72.

Ms. Rossetti was born on December 7, 1944, in Floral Park to Harry and Gertrude Beyerman. She graduated with an associate’s degree from Farmingdale State College. She was an illustrator prior to marrying Robert J. Rossetti of Garden City and Southampton on April 8, 1972. They raised two daughters, Diana and Kate.

Ms. Rossetti was a loving wife and mother who always put family first, survivors said. She loved going to the beach in Southampton Shores, gardening, entertaining and spending time with her six grandchildren, family and friends. Her grandchildren loved being with their “Nana” and she never missed an opportunity to be with them. The Rossetti family went on many trips, with Disney World being one of their favorite destinations. Family and friends describe her as funny, creative and a caring listener; she made everyone around her feel as though they had a special connection and bond with her.

She is survived by her husband, Robert J. Rossetti; two daughters, Diana Esposito and husband Jeffrey and their four children, Jake, Brooke, Ryder and Zoe of Sag Harbor; and Kate E. McManus and husband Gilbert and their two children, Sabrina and Violet of Sag Harbor. She is also survived by her sister, Nancy Minogue and husband Joseph; and two brothers-in-law and their wives; a sister-in-law and her husband and six nieces and nephews.

Funeral arrangements were under the direction of Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton.

A badly decomposed female Minke whale was found in the ocean surf in Bridgehampton early May 1. Scientists with the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society conducted a necropsy of the 26-foot whale. The animal showed no sign of trauma, but it will not be possible to pinpoint a cause of death until the results of the examination are available in about a month, according to Rob DiGiovanni, the organization’s chief scientist. “This species is part of the unusual mortality rate” that has been reported in recent months, he said.

The Bus Test

Social media was abuzz last week with a report: An unmarked bus was dropping off adult men in the parking lot of the Macy’s shopping plaza in Hampton Bays. Speculation was rampant, and it largely followed a national narrative about an “invasion” of immigrants ending up in American communities. In fact, there’s little information on what the bus (or buses — there likely were others) was doing. It might have been seasonal workers arriving for the season, but it could have been something innocuous, like a private bus trip returning home. Police were called, but as one town official pointed ... 1 May 2024 by Editorial Board

Terrible Optics

Westhampton Beach Village officials and Police Chief Steven McManus need a lesson in optics. The revelation last week that a body camera video recorded during the investigation of an off-duty Village Police officer who rolled his truck during a single-car accident in November 2021 was not released to the public for close to a year, despite numerous requests from The Press that went unanswered for seven months, sends the wrong signal about the village’s commitment to keeping the public informed. It was only after a request from an attorney on behalf of The Press that a copy of the video ... by Editorial Board

A Costly Hire

Permitting public employees to collect a six-figure pension while simultaneously collecting a six-figure salary is one of the reasons why New York is such a high-tax state. Though the Village of Southampton took it a step further: It wasn’t enough for the new village administrator to receive a $165,000 salary on top of a $120,000 New York Police Department pension — the Village Board just gave Administrator Anthony Carter a $50,000 pay bump, retroactive to when he started in November, in lieu of receiving village health insurance and other benefits.

State Sets Aside Funding for Affordable Housing at College Campus

The State Legislature on April 22 approved Governor Kathy Hochul’s request for $600 million in funding for several affordable housing programs, including one that would permit the construction of such units on the Stony Brook Southampton campus. But the celebration has to be put on hold for now, according to Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., because a related bill that would authorize the actual expenditure of the allocated funds has yet to pass. Thiele said he was optimistic that authorization bill could be passed before the end of the session on June 6. “The legislature had a lot of questions,” ... by Stephen J. Kotz
