Self-Interest and Greed

The November 23 edition of The Press had an article by Cailin Riley [“Benefits Package Includes Stipend for Some”] and a Letter to the Editor by me [“Plan Exposed”]. Cailin’s article noted a newly adopted “opt out” provision that allows the Southampton Village mayor and trustees to extort an additional $3,500 from village taxpayers if they use health insurance from other sources — including the federal government. This demonstrates this administration’s complete lack of concern for village taxpayers and a complete lack of decency. My letter notes the deception and unfairness of using an income limit to compute the contribution ... by Staff Writer

Holiday Joy

Another tree lighting is in the books, and the Christmas Decorations Committee would like to send thanks to everyone who came out and braved the chilly weather to join in the festivities. It was a spectacular evening, and we would like to thank all of the fire departments that participated in the Parade of Lights — with 20 fire trucks, it was the biggest group ever. A special thank you to the Southampton Village employees, especially the Department of Public Works, for their hard work setting up the trees, wreaths, lights and decorations around the village. Thank you to the ... by Staff Writer

Even Simpler

I have to admit I was flattered that Ken Dorph, the Mideast expert, responded to my Letter to the Editor [“Build Bridges,” Letters, November 30]. He literally spent three paragraphs qualifying that he is an expert, despite the fact that he’s really clearly a antisemite. Ken accuses me of being a racist because my position is that Hamas is a terrorist organization that slaughtered innocent civilians, yet he never addresses the issue. He additionally claims that Benjamin Netanyahu never wanted a two-state solution and conspired to have Hamas as a leading power vs. Yassar Arafat. I’d like to remind our ... by Staff Writer

Logical Line

A recent Letter to the Editor by the Very Reverend Abraham A.J. Miller [“Fighting Our Fight,” Letters, November 23] reminds us of past historical commitments and makes the case that Ukraine is fighting our fight against Russia, and U.S. funding of the war should be continued. I would like to expand on that history and demonstrate that Joe Biden’s proxy war could have been avoided had numerous historical grievances and warnings been heeded by the administration. In 1990, U.S. Secretary of State James Baker made verbal commitments on how NATO troops would utilize the territory of former East Germany under ... by Staff Writer

Newtown

There comes a time within some lives, When sparrows fall and voices fail, And all that is, or ever was, Holds not one single claim to what will be. For twenty-six, and those who cherished them, that day has come. To steal the promise of a morrow they will never see. It was but a school. A place for learning nursery rhymes. A springboard to the finer things. A haven for the callow of our towns. With violent rage meant mostly for the innocent and young, A monster tore from them the joy of youth and life That is the ... by Staff Writer
