Perspective Is Everything

In the parking area, a photographer pulls her gear from the back of her car. A second woman stands nearby. She must be the one who hired the photographer, because she’s holding a perfect little baby in her arms as she explains, “So now we’ve gotten past that.” The photographer nods, shouldering the heavy bag, and they advance toward the beach entrance. A young man has been impatiently pacing, waiting for them. His lanky frame, dressed neat as a pin, forced to be ready for picture day, turns and kicks at the sand. Not with curiosity, not with affection, but ... by Marilee Foster

Complicity

The opinions of the Southampton Town Board candidates on the issue of gas blowers are against the will of the majority who worked so hard against entrenched interests to restrict their use. The noise of gas blowers reach 85 decibels in my backyard. This level of noise is hazardous to health, not to mention that it prevents one from reading, thinking or functioning in one’s home. Other serious environmental concerns (e.g., harmful particulates in the air) also have been voiced in these pages. It is most disheartening that the monstrous practice of using gas blowers is poised to go unchecked ... by Staff Writer

Grown With the Job

Four years ago, Cyndi McNamara ran for a seat on the Southampton Town Board. I did not support her then. Not just because she supported Discovery Land, but because I did not believe she had the necessary experience to sit on the Town Board. At the time, I thought her opponent was better qualified. Four years later, I have done a complete turnaround. Cyndi has proven herself a quick learner. She does her homework. She listens to people. She has grown with the job. Here in East Quogue, she has worked tirelessly with all the various groups to make East ... by Staff Writer

Past Behind Us

As many readers know, the East Quogue Civic Association was at odds with Town Board member Cyndi McNamara due to conflicts over the Discovery Land project. However, since that deal went through, she has reached out to the Civic, and together we have worked hard for the betterment of East Quogue. Cyndi supported the successful creation of an East Quogue Parks District, and sponsored the commemorative stone for ... by Staff Writer
