I just attempted to order my high-strength reading glasses on Amazon, as I have done for over 15 years. I was surprised and angered when my order of five pairs of reading glasses, 6.0 strength, for $14.99 was rejected — with a notation that my order cannot be delivered to my address. I soon discovered that there is a law unique to New York that reading glasses with a strength over 2.75 cannot be shipped in New York State. This is outrageous. This 72-year-old senior citizen, instead of spending just $14.99 for five pairs of my essential reading glasses, will ...

“The greenest home is the one that is already built” — Peconic Land Trust. What becomes possible when we shift our conversation to include the Lovelady Powell structures in our commitment to preservation [“Effort Underway To Save House on Lovelady Powell Property in North Haven,” 27east.com, January 11]? Rather than asking ourselves if there is value in maintaining, what if instead we ask ourselves: How? The advisory committee and the board of the North Haven Parks and Trails Association have agreed to consider viable proposals at their next joint meeting. If any ideas warrant further consideration, it could provide the ...

A group of environmentally aware Hamptonites are again making an effort to encourage the Parrish Art Museum to install solar panels on the museum’s iconic roof. Such an enormous institution uses an enormous amount of energy, I am sure. I’ve been involved in environmental protection for the last 12 years, and I have an idea that might help the museum choose solar energy. I propose that the Parrish organize a competition asking artists to submit their ideas of what would be an example of “when art meets solar.” Let artists expand on their vision for how renewable energy can be ...

I have never felt more unwanted as a member of this community than I did at Wednesday night’s Sag Harbor School Board community forum about Marsden Street. As a neighbor to Marsden, I am passionately against plans to purchase the property and attempt to create an athletic field. So, when I heard about this forum, I began to prepare. I went to their website to see the recent postings about Marsden, and the first thing you see is the results of the November 3 vote, where those in favor narrowly surpassed those against. There are some links to documents on ...

My attention is normally more focused on national politics, but I find myself drawn into the local crusade to return our electrical utility back to home rule, so to speak [“Overwhelming Support To Make LIPA Public Entity at Southampton Hearing,” 27east.com, January 23]. I find this idea far from appealing, because, as I have observed, the quality of management delivered by PSEG has produced significant improvement over the slipshod grid that was the Long Island Lighting Company previously. The Long Island Power Authority employed a privately run company with decades of experience in New Jersey to wrestle with the mess ...
