Altered for Kindness

“Yo, shell and stick guy get a job.” These are the words scrawled on the fence at the beach entrance. The fence, built years ago to keep vehicles from further eroding the steep access, has been wrecked once by a storm and several times by people. But, more recently, like many unmonitored flat surfaces, it has been a place for personal ads and public notices — and, like this one, private opinions. The black words stood out against the wood fence, perhaps the work of a Sharpie permanent marker. Down, below the fence, on the edge of sand that has ... by Marilee Foster

The Best Shot

I recently had the pleasure of visiting my old stomping ground in Flanders to attend the Flanders Riverside Northampton Community Association’s meet the candidates event. I was so excited to hear Maria Moore speak about her accomplishments as mayor of Westhampton Beach and am now more convinced that she’s the right woman for the job. Back in 2015, the Town Board approved an overlay zoning district that would see the redevelopment of the most economically disadvantaged hamlet on all of Long Island — Riverside. This revitalization has been stalled for almost a decade, waiting for a sewer district, and lacking ... by Staff Writer

Ahead of the Curve

I am optimistic that the Southampton Town Board can accomplish two things seemingly at odds. Community Choice Aggregation was ordered by the Department of Public Service in 2016. In 2017, the Sustainability Advisory Committee recommended that the Town Board investigate whether CCA could be a program advantageous for Southampton. In 2020, the Town Board set an additional energy goal for the town to meet 100 percent of the communitywide electricity consumption through renewable energy sources by the year 2025. Shortly after, Southampton Town was the first on Long Island to adopt the CCA legislation; the towns of Brookhaven, Hempstead, East ... by Staff Writer

Worthy Sacrifice

Land preservation and any choice to protect the environment always comes with sacrifices, but the sacrifices are well worth it. Every piece of property that the Peconic Land Trust has preserved has been deprived of development, deprived of a store or supermarket or multiple-use dwelling or public through-way. All are sacrifices for land preservation. By comparison to our neighbors in Sag Harbor Village, who are fighting off commercial developers, our “developers” want to build a world-class garden, a showcase of beauty in the middle of our village, connected to what will again become our magnificent, clean lake. But, yes, it ... by Staff Writer
