Barbara Jean Pack Busse of Lugoff, South Carolina, died April 15 at the Brian Center Nursing Home in Columbia, South Carolina. She was 71.

Born in Washington, D.C., on May 27, 1944, she was the daughter of the late Sherman Montague Pack and the late Emma Naomi Marsh. She was a member of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Midland, Virginia, and had resided in Eastport and Hampton Bays; and Bealeton, Virginia before settling in Lugoff, to live with her son, Craig Coker and his family.

Ms. Busse liked to cook and try new recipes. She enjoyed gardening as well. In later years she loved watching her favorite cooking shows on Food Network and the Cooking Channel. Survivors said, most of all she loved spending time with her family.

She is survived by her son, Craig Coker and wife Melissa Corwith Coker, formerly of Water Mill, of Lugoff; four grandchildren, Ryan, Nate, Emma and Caroline; two sisters, Judith Heflin and husband Richard, and Janice Myers and husband Lawrence, all of Virginia; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by a brother, Wesley Morton; and her husbands, Kurt L. Busse and Paul G. Coker.

A graveside memorial service will be held September 16 at 4 p.m. at the Midland Cemetery in Midland with the Reverend Peyton Embrey officiating.

Memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Box 810, Memphis, TN 38101.

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.
