North Haven residents, please vote on June 15 for Terie Diat and Chris Fiore. Terie is completing her first year as a trustee after narrowly defeating Chris last June. Chris was appointed to the board, by me, the prior year to fill the seat that was open due to the sad passing of Jamie Davis.
Chris currently serves as a member of the Planning Board. Both Terie and Chris have been continually active in many efforts, including streamlining our planning and permitting processes, improving and monitoring the water quality in our bays and creeks, refurbishing and enhancing our trails, and acquiring the Lovelady Powell property on Sunset Beach Road and developing it into a community park.
While Terie and Chris ran opposed, on different party lines, in the last election, this year they are endorsed by both the North Haven Party and the Community Vision Party in recognition of their contributions to the village over the past year.
I strongly support Chris and Terie and look forward to there service on the board.
Jeffrey Sander
Mayor
North Haven Village

MacabreI find the jubilation surrounding the achievement of a $2 million price tag for a home in my neighborhood macabre — the equivalent of a white collar crime. Charles B. Grubb Bridgehampton
