Rose L. Nabel, 94, of Southampton, New York, passed away at Bayshore Medical Center on July 25, 2025. Rose was a summer resident of North Sea since 1954, she always called it home. As a young woman, Rose realized that a Brooklyn apartment was no place for kids to spend during the summer months. Rose and her husband Oscar, in their younger years, saved every nickel and dime they had and bought a property in North Sea. The land back then was only $500 for a 50 by 100, which was perfect for them. Throughout the early years, Rose and Oscar spent hammer in hand and they built their love.

Rose’s favorite thing was to go clamming, get scungilli “conch” and go crabbing. With these gifts from the sea, she would cook up the most delicious sauces and salads; she would freeze some and cook up the traditional Seven Fishes for Christmas Eve. Even at 94, she renewed her shellfish license just weeks ago. Rose also enjoyed spending time on the beach with family and good friends. At night she would drink coffee with everyone, build a fire and talk the night away while the children would run free and play games.

Rose is predeceased by her parents, Nicola and Maria (Corribolo) Stoppelli, her beloved husband of 56 years, Oscar Robert Nabel and her sister Lydia Merone. She is survived by her children, Nicholas Nabel and his wife Rita and Maryann Nabel-Pezza and her husband Larry. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Manda Hampton, Robert Nabel and his wife Neha, Andrew Pezza and Nicholas Nabel and his wife Ashley, her great-grandchildren, Emma Hampton, Alyana Hampton and Jasmine Nabel.

Family and friends visited on Wednesday July 30, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Thursday July 31, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 9:15 AM at Shore Point Funeral Home and Cremation Services Inc., 3269 State Highway 35 Hazlet, New Jersey 07730. A Mass of Christian Burial was offered on Thursday July 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Church of Saint Ann, 311 Carr Ave Keansburg, New Jersey. Following mass, Rose was interred at Calverton National Cemetery in Calverton, New York. For more information, directions, or to send condolences to the family, please visit, www. shorepointfh.com.

A Day of Quiet

November 27, Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Morning: I hear the screech owl, the great-horned owl, the Cooper’s hawk, Carolina wren, white-throated sparrow, chirps of the cardinal, red-breasted nuthatch, the cooo of the mourning dove; songs of rooster, flicker, dark-eyed junco. Titmouse, blue jay. Wind, barely a breeze, whispers haaaaaaaa in wind language, lovingly. Tranquility. Peace. I’m alive — ping of chill in the air, my skin zings. This sacred silence is why I moved here 40 years ago. But it’s completely gone now. And why? Was our designation of “green community” just a photo-op? A lie? Words co-opted like the phrase ... by Staff Writer

White House Confidential

There has been some consternation expressed about changes that the Trump administration is making to the White House, including the East Wing demolition, paving over the Rose Garden, and plans for a grand ballroom. Let’s put some historical perspective on this: The first president to occupy the White House, John Adams, did so 225 years ago last month, and the building and grounds have been undergoing change ever since. Construction of the White House had begun during George Washington’s first term — specifically, at noon on October 13, 1792, with the laying of the cornerstone. The main residence and foundations ... by Tom Clavin

“Restore Our Waters” was the title of the invitation. Its subtitle: “Learn How To Switch Out Your Septic To Remove The No. 1 Threat to Groundwater, Nitrogen, From Our Septic Systems With Tax-Free Grant Funds.” Some 100 people packed into the auditorium of the Southampton Cultural Center two weeks ago for a “public education event” to learn about an issue that has deeply impacted Suffolk County: the migration of nitrogen from cesspools into groundwater, the sole source of potable water in Suffolk. The nitrogen also goes into surface waters, including lakes, ponds and bays. Spotlighted at the event was the ... by Karl Grossman

Vigor and Decay

Brown is the color of the days. We, at such an angle to the sun, give up our growing season and must tilt toward the melancholy color of mud. While finger-painting, brown might be the first color you make by mistake. In your enthusiasm, you blended all the colors on the pallet and ended up with nothing remarkable. In fact, it looks like excrement. Brown may not be a vibrant color, but it is generally a warm one. All living things are, at some point, brown. The goldfinch, as if reduced to rags, just dingy fluff where brightness had been. ... by Marilee Foster
