Answers, Please

I have some questions I would like to ask our congressman, Nick Lalota. I had hoped to ask these questions in person, but the congressman seems to be a bit shy when it comes to meeting his constituents. So I ask, in this letter, some questions that I hope Mr. LaLota will answer in a reply. Congressman, you voted for the so-called Big, Beautiful Bill, which by most estimates will add trillions of dollars to our national debt. The Congressional Budget Office estimated an increase in the deficit of $3.8 trillion; the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated $3.1 ... by Staff Writer

Verse vs. Versus

A couple of friends and I went out for Cuban food, and we decided to share our entrees. One friend chose the camarones enchilados, described on the menu as shrimp in a spicy creole sauce with wine. It was delicious — except the chef left the tail shells on the camarones. Ugh! I had to stick my fingers into the spicy creole sauce with wine, pick up the tail and bite into the shrimp in such a way as to pull all the meat out of the shell. It’s a method I’ve found to have only a 50 percent success ... by Tracy Grathwohl

VIEWPOINT: A Pastor Who Brought Transformation

Father Janusz Lipski has dedicated over 13 remarkable years as the pastor of Our Lady of Poland in Southampton. To our community, he has been far more than a priest; he has embodied the role of a spiritual father, a wise guide throughout our faith journeys, a cherished friend, and an integral part of our family. His departure leaves a significant void that will be challenging to fill, as he is truly one of a kind. Deeply rooted in authentic faith, Father Janusz inspired us with his heartfelt homilies, which resonated with our life’s struggles and celebrations, and his prayers ... 16 Jun 2025 by Thea Fry

Stay Put

It has come to my attention that there is an effort afoot to move our beloved college windmill off our campus, where it has resided for many decades [“New Push To Move Southampton’s Oldest Windmill From College Campus Back to Village,” 27east.com, June 11]. There are approximately 10,000 Southampton College alumni. We have contributed to the area since 1963. The alums have become teachers, doctors, politicians, lawyers, scientists, athletes, nurses, bankers and business owners, just to name a few occupations. Many chose to stay in the Southampton area after graduation, to work and raise their families. Our first graduates are ... by Staff Writer

Slap in the Face

John Neely, this is not our first rodeo [“Improvement?” Letters, June 12]. We see things differently, and we are not alone. I realize Democrats are very upset that the political winds have deserted them. If anything has been learned over the decades, it is that change is not the exception, it is the rule. What was once conventional wisdom is scoffed at today. Race, gender, climate, speech and immigration are just a few topics under reconsideration. Even basic belief systems can change in a society free to question them. Today, progressive Democrats have pushed the boundaries on so much of ... by Staff Writer
