Anne Warner Halsey, a longtime resident of Westhampton Beach, died April 25, 2018. She was 88.

Born on September 11, 1929, in East Hampton, she was the daughter of Elmer and Lucille (Harris) Warner. She moved to Westhampton Beach when she was 9, following the death of her mother and her father’s re-marriage. She attended Westhampton Beach schools where she excelled in math, science and athletics. She met Benjamin Griffing Halsey during her junior year and the two were married a year later on December 15, 1941. During her lifetime, Mrs. Halsey was a stay-at-home mom, a real estate broker for Henry Meeker, Katherine Kammerer and Neil Rego and a nursing assistant for Dr. Donald Keller at the Westhampton Beach medical and nursing home facility.

Later in life, she became a home health aide for local families, such as Jay Graham, Anne Colt and Lillian Goldstein. Survivors said that she derived much happiness from caring for others.

Mrs. Halsey was predeceased in 1998 by her husband of 52 years, Benjamin G. Halsey Sr.; her sister, Lucelle Parker; her brother, Elmer Warner Jr.; and her half-sister, Judith Haberland.

She is survived by her five children, Benjamin G Halsey Jr.(Robin), Gary B. Halsey (Mary), Thomas W. Halsey, Charlene Halsey Mascia (Allen M. Smith ) and LuAnn Halsey Burke; grandchildren, Heather Halsey (Colby), Melissa Halsey, Amanda Becchio, Benjamin G. Halsey III, Nicole Halsey Rakes (Jeremi), Staci Hadley (Steve), Justin Potter (Bambi), Robert Mascia (Lauri), Christopher Mascia (Jamee), Dakota R. Smith, Jacob A. Smith (Jeanne), David M. Smith (Shelly), Karol Bruschi, and Sarah Burke and Ryan Burke; and many great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at the Beach United Methodist Church in Westhampton Beach on July 3, at 11 a.m.

Turkeys and Eagles

The turkey is the loudest thing in the predawn hours. A “gobble” descriptor does not come close to capturing his overture. From the distant darkness, it’s no songbird tuning-in when the turkey lets loose his call. So much like the bird itself, it’s a big and a slightly comical noise, followed then by a long silence. Saying nothing more, he flaps down from his roost to begin his day. There are ladies to court and toms to fight, grubs to be scratched from the earth. To be a turkey in Sagg is not so bad. No longer needing reintroduction, their ... by Marilee Foster

'Solving' the Traffic

It’s not fair to suggest that the last two weeks, when Southampton Town, with Suffolk County’s blessing, tested some various strategies for managing the flow of traffic westward in the afternoon rush hours, will be enough to “solve” anything. This is a Gordian knot, but Charlie McArdle is no Alexander the Great, sword in hand, ready to cut the snarl free. At best, the town’s highway superintendent is diligently picking at various parts of the heap, hoping to loosen it a tiny bit. Suffolk County officials were active participants this time, which is helpful, and they will be sitting down ... by Editorial Board
