Responsible Holiday

Instead of traveling over rivers or through woods, many of us rush off to Black Friday sales and a frenzy of shopping for gifts, decorating and feasting. Now we are starting to realize the consequence of holiday excess. This past Thanksgiving, approximately 204 million pounds of turkey meat went to waste — a staggering statistic when one in every eight Americans struggles with hunger. Americans also throw away 25 percent more garbage between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than at any other time of the year. Here are some suggestions for a successful — and sustainable — holiday season with ... by Staff Writer

Mature Leadership

Post-election analysis indicates that, on Long Island, crime was a major issue that led to Democrats’ defeat. (I need to note that our congressional candidate, Bridget Fleming, carried Southampton Town.)

However, according to all reports I’ve read, Jim Jordan’s main goal is to begin investigations, possibly leading to impeachment hearings targeting President Joe Biden and various Biden administration cabinet members. That probably won’t improve street crime ... by Staff Writer

Legitimate Concerns

I must take issue with Michael Daly’s Viewpoint column of November 24 [“After the CHF? Just Get Out of the Way”]. To simply say “get out of the way” to those who voted against the Community Housing Fund referendum shows an incredible level of arrogance and chutzpah. Daly dismisses the 47 percent of the town population who voted “no” as self-serving, selfish NIMBYs who oppose affordable housing projects in their backyards. Nothing can be further from the truth. I wrote a number of letters to The Press questioning parts of the CHF referendum proposal. I specifically questioned the composition of ... by Staff Writer
