Saying Goodbye

Every death in a community impacts someone. Many bring grief from dozens, even hundreds of people whose lives overlapped with the deceased. And then there are the rare few who cause an entire community’s knees to buckle. Robert J. Long Jr., who died far too young last week at 53, became principal at East Quogue School in 2000 and, 15 years later, was named superintendent of the tiny one-school district, K-6. Working with young children is a challenge, but Long was born to the task. A generation or more had at least one educator who was looking out for them. ... by Staff Writer

A Delicate Balance

A story from East Hampton Village last week highlighted an issue that could well be percolating beneath the service in many communities, as local volunteer ambulance corps seek a delicate balance of morale and necessary moves to provide reliable emergency care.

They gnaw, their black mouths munching into the pink, juicy walls, and the sticky juices flow so that they wade in puddles, slurping as they go. They dine with abandon. But now I can keep a half melon in my truck. I can leave it balanced, saucer-like, on the console so ... by Marilee Foster

Legacy Of Success

At this moment in time, if there’s a candidate better suited for the U.S. Congress than Bridget Fleming, I can’t think of one. Ms. Fleming consistently fights for critical issues facing her constituents and has since she first won a special election for Southampton Town Board in March 2010. Recalling Bridget’s early days in office, and the issues confronting her and the Town of Southampton, one can discern the vision, knowledge and skills required of a true leader. Elected to office during a time of severe fiscal problems for Southampton, Bridget quickly addressed specific problems created by past administration’s fiscal ... by Staff Writer
