Julia E. Belson

Julia E. Belson, of East Quogue, NY, sadly passed away on August 16, 2024 at the age of 79. She was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed by all who knew her. She was born on October 26, 1944 in Glen Head, NY to her parents Julia and Wilfred D. Wiehn, and was the youngest of 4 siblings, Sissy, Iris and Billy. After graduating from North Shore High School, she met and married her beloved husband, Gerald J. Belson Sr. of Westhampton Beach, NY. During their marriage, they had three children: Gerald (Jerry) Belson Jr, Wilfred (Billy) Belson and Todd Belson. Julia dedicated many years of her life as an administrative assistant serving the U.S. Marine Corps in Garden City, NY and the Air National Guard Base in Westhampton Beach, NY from which she retired in 2000.

She will be fondly remembered for her selfless care for others, and her unwavering friendship to many. Julia cherished her time spent with family, and caring for her beloved dogs Abby and Lizzy. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved the beach, nurturing her garden and cooking and preparing her signature dishes for loved ones.

Julia was predeceased by her husband, Gerald J. Belson Sr. in 1993. She is survived by her three children: Gerald Belson Jr. and his wife, Dawn, Billy Belson, and Todd Belson and his wife, Danielle. She was a proud grandmother to seven grandchildren: Danielle Lizio, Brooke Belson, Matthew Belson, Kayla Belson, Dylan Belson, Billy Belson Jr. and Vanessa Belson, as well as one great-grandchild, Peyton Lizio. She will also be missed by her longtime companion, Gordon Cocks.

A private family graveside service will be held in September at the Westhampton Cemetery.

Useless Durak

In a recent post, Ed Surgan paraphrased an article he claims was from Newsday about the “No Kings” rally: “Demonstrators were concerned with cuts to Medicare, government job cuts and free speech. While the first two may be legitimate differences over policy, they pose no threat to democracy.” Here is an actual quote from Newsday: “Thousands of protesters at more than a dozen locations from Port Washington to East Hampton rallied Saturday to denounce what they view as an increasingly authoritarian regime under the Trump administration. … Dozens of protesters interviewed in Mineola, Port Jefferson and Patchogue voiced concern over ... 3 Nov 2025 by Staff Writer

Turned Away

Perhaps to close out the discussion of the Working Families Party candidates, local voters should be aware of what happened during the primary election earlier this year. I work as a poll official in Westhampton Beach, and we had a total of eight voters come in to cast ballots all day. None of them was a registered Working Families Party voter. And so, although they were well meaning, we had to turn them away, thanking them nonetheless for trying to exercise their right to vote. There were at least 10 poll officials seated all day, from 6 a.m. to 9 ... by Staff Writer

Growing Silent

According to 27east.com, intense rainfall led to “significant scour and erosion” on the west side of the Sunrise Highway bridge abutment over the Shinnecock Canal in Hampton Bays [“Lane Restrictions on Sunrise Highway Will Last at Least Through Next Week,” 27east.com, October 31]. Many commuters are experiencing this firsthand. These kinds of rain events will become more commonplace here and elsewhere due to the increase in water vapor in the atmosphere. Water vapor is increasing because our planet is heating. Scientists tell us this: “For every degree Celsius in warming, the water-holding capacity of the atmosphere increases by about 7 ... by Staff Writer

Oddly Misguided

Last week’s Express Session at The American Hotel focused on the subject of parking [“Sag Harbor Panel Tackles Parking Problems, Business Impacts at ‘Local Matters’ Discussion,” 27east.com, October 29]. The format called for the audience to ask questions of the panelists, unlike prior Express Sessions, where preprepared subjects were given to the panel by the moderator for comment. About halfway through this meeting, former Mayor Jim LaRocca rose to deliver an off-topic statement critical of the village’s review boards’ conduct regarding the 2 Main Street/7-Eleven properties on West Water Street. Mr. LaRocca suggested that the review boards were working in ... by Staff Writer

Poisoned Dialogue

To John Neely [“Get Facts Right,” Letters, October 23], thank you for your comments. I’ll try to address them briefly. James Comey, John Brennan and James Clapper seriously damaged the United States’ reputation for fairness and justice. They have been exposed for using politically motivated lies to subvert our presidency. There is plenty of evidence to back up my argument. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to convict, due to legal statutes of limitation. Your comments about the affordability of health care, housing, etc. are problems directly attributable to the obscene amounts of money Democrats flooded our economy with during COVID. ... by Staff Writer

Welcome Home

The Pierson High School Class of 1995 extends its sincere appreciation to Sag Harbor Elementary School Principal Matt Malone and his security staff for their warm hospitality during a recent tour of both the elementary and high school campuses. The alumni also wish to recognize Jorge Maya for his time and effort in serving as the group’s guide through the elementary school. In addition, the Class of 1995 expresses its deepest gratitude to Eric Peele and the staff at Page Sag Harbor restaurant, as well as Amber Tagliasacchi and the staff at Il Cappuccino, for their generous support and exceptional ... by Staff Writer

Not Funny

In response to the cartoon “Paw Prints”: I may not share all your opinions. Sometimes I find your cartoons amusing. But I am really offended by the October 23 “White House Halloween Party (or is it?).” The character in front, in a Playboy bunny outfit, is sexist. Nothing funny or imaginative about it.

Sound Familiar?

Andrew Messenger naively and grossly underestimates the environmental degradation caused by an overabundance of lawns [“Leave My Lawn Alone, Please,” Viewpoint, Residence, October 30]. Groundwater pollution is a major environmental problem. A Sagg Pond watershed update with Dr. Molly Graffin of the Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program recently discussed research findings showing groundwater nitrogen toxicity 30 to 40 feet underground draining into Sagg Pond. Large pipes are being sent deep into the ground to create a long semipermeable barrier to scrub the water of the poisonous nitrogen and are proposed for a much larger area. For this major engineering project ... by Staff Writer

Indivisible

“Nobody wants you here.” This is what a passerby in an expensive foreign sports car yelled at me while I participated in a demonstration against our current administration’s tactics. For me, that is always a hilarious statement. My roots here in Southampton predate the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the foundation of our republic. I would bet a good sum that he is a recent city transplant who does not know the difference between a republic and a democracy. His point of view, one can only guess at, obviously pro-Trump. One set of very wealthy people see him as ... by Staff Writer

Passion for Animals

I want to thank everyone for the wonderful outpouring of support I’ve received since I began writing letters. What started as one message defending the rights of the Shinnecock Nation and Indigenous people has grown into something larger, thanks to you. Your kind words have inspired me to write about a variety of topics that matter to our community. But at heart, my greatest passion is helping animals. Right now, there are many cats and dogs in need of homes, and I’m currently fostering several wonderful cats myself. If you’ve ever thought about fostering or adopting, I encourage you to ... by Staff Writer
