Buyer's Remorse
We are seeing a disturbing trend on the East End and particularly in the Town of Southampton. It is perplexing to witness extremely wealthy buyers, ones with resources to fund endless, years-long legal battles, to the detriment of neighbors and...
Selective Entitlements
Kudos to Highway Superintendent Charlie McArdle for his self-serving pat on the back with his “Outside the Box” letter [July 18]. His “outside the box” is nothing more than selective entitlements given to a very small group of people who...
Lifesaver
On July 15, my husband was powerwalking along Route 114 at 11:30 a.m. when he collapsed from heat stroke. A woman, or, I should say, an angel, stopped her car and loaded a bloodied, almost unconscious person into her car...

A Look Back
Spring Impressions Early Morning Avian Symphony Little fluttering sounds Beckoning the Day Later, a Road Trip thru Brilliant colored countryside citron Forsythia in full glory — Pale pink Dogwood in stark contrast — milk white cherry Blossoms — beautiful and...
