Rosemarie Badier Carter of Westhampton Beach died on January 5 at the East End Hospice Kanas Center for Hospice Care on Quiogue. She was 93.

She was born March 7, 1928 in Dijon, France, to a German mother and French father. She was taken as an infant to Germany to be raised by relatives. She remained there until August 1938, when being of mixed heritage was a danger, and she was taken to Lyon, France, to live with her parents. At age 22, Rosemarie, Mimi to her friends, came to New York and soon after to Westhampton Beach while working as governess for a local family. Here she met and married her husband, Allen L. Carter, in 1951.

Carter, known for her strict attitude and quick wit, was truly adored and respected by those who knew her, according to her family. She was generous with her many talents and created beautiful gifts which she had knit, crocheted, quilted or painted. Her beautiful flower and vegetable gardens were also a great love of hers, they said. Carter’s baked goods were eagerly anticipated by family and friends and she truly enjoyed hosting family dinners and larger events, too.

In 1976, she was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She spent hundreds of hours over the years sharing her faith with many in the community.

She is survived by a sister, Elisabeth (Charles) Tobon of Dix Hills; daughters Chantal (Merrill d. 2018) Ryder and Cherie (Patrick) Magee; her grandchildren, Sheri Bardot Wowk, Brett (Jenny) Ryder, Alexis Ryder, Moriah Magee, and Joseph (Meghan) Magee; and great-grandchildren, Monroe Wowk, Dylan Carter, Olivia Phillips, Mila Ryder, Emily Magee, Joseph Magee Jr., Clark Magee and Thea Magee.

She was predeceased by her son Claude in 1979; her husband Allen Carter in 1998; and grandson David Carter in 2020.

Zoom Services were held January 15. A gathering to celebrate her life will be held in the spring.

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
