author27east on Aug 14, 2020

Giuseppina Gambino of Southampton died on August 11. She was 79.

Ms. Gambino was born on November 4, 1940, in Palermo, Sicily.

She came to New York with her late husband Celestino Gambino in 1972.

Ms. Gambino played a crucial part in the success of the well established family owned and run business La Parmigiana in Southampton.

She was an exceptionally strong-minded woman with incredible skills in the kitchen, her family said, sharing traditional Sicilian delicacies like caponata, arancini and spiedini, to name a few.

She is survived by her seven children, daughters Maria Ligregni, Giovanna Manglaviti, Anna-Maria Gambino, Patricia Taglavia, Rosalia Porco and sons Francesco Gambino and Rudolpho Gambino. She is also survived by 19 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

Services were held on Thursday, August 12, at the O’Connell-Rothwell Funeral Home in Southampton.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Friday, August 14, at 10 a.m. at the Basilica Parish of Jesus and Mary in Southampton. Interment followed at Sacred Heart Cemetery.

Great Place To Be

I read with deep attention to detail the almost full-page story on the lack of parking during the busy summer months in Westhampton Beach [“Westhampton Beach Village Board Exploring Paid Parking Options,” 27east.com, November 10]. I did note, happily, that Mayor Ralph Urban hedged his bets a number of times in the article as to whether or not paid parking for Main Street spots, or spots in the lot behind the shops on the south side of Main Street, was really a solution. Mr. Mayor, it’s not. (The silliest idea floated was to consider the East Hampton plan, which is ... by Staff Writer

Define the Problem

To solve a problem, the critical step is defining it. What are the root causes of our immigration crisis? 1) Lack of economic opportunity, especially in Central and South America and Mexico, but all over the world, in reality. 2) Political unrest fueled by authoritarian regimes, or by religious fanaticism, or any combination thereof. 3) Destruction caused by repeated and worsening climate issues: floods, typhoons, hurricanes, fires, drought. 4) Global connection via internet to all corners of the world. The have-nots can see what others do have. 5) The illegal drug trade, closely related to item 1 but also just ... by Staff Writer

Sounds Familiar

Southampton Village has its own Donald Trump and Pam Bondi: Mayor Bill Manger and Village Attorney Eileen Powers. Manger, an aspiring Trump (and a former employee), and Powers, an aspiring Bondi, both relying on the same familiar trio of secrecy, spin and self-preservation. The latest example is the architectural review study, a report paid for with public grant money to evaluate which homes could face more onerous restrictions if included in a new historic district. Instead of sharing it, Manger and Powers locked it away like it’s the Epstein files. Note that Leon Black, a known Epstein associate who made ... by Staff Writer

Need To Adapt

I’m not typically keen on dueling Letters to the Editor, but in my best Inigo Montoya voice, my response to Highway Superintendent Charles McArdle is: “I did not say what you think I said” [“Oversight Failure,” Letters, November 13]. Let me try again by melding our two points of view: If governments at all levels continue to ignore necessary infrastructure maintenance while our planet continues to warm, expect the kinds of things that happened at Sunrise Highway to happen with more frequency. The combination of more intense storms with shoddy maintenance programs will cause more damage and impact on our ... by Staff Writer
