I owe a debt of gratitude to Ray D’Angelo, the president of the Hampton Bays Civic Association, for his recent letter [“Advocate & Adjudicate?” Letters, April 25] establishing that he has, as I pointed out almost a month ago, “a profound misunderstanding of how municipal government works” [“An Alliance,” Letters, April 11]. D’Angelo does not understand that the development projects to which he refers do not come before the Town of Southampton Zoning Board of Appeals for review and approval. Changes to the zoning code, like the changes contemplated by the now-defunct Hampton Bays Downtown Overlay District, are reviewed and ...

By Dianne Moritz What has happened to our beautiful village by the sea? When I vacationed here in the summer of 1984, I thought I had found my paradise. I even wrote and published a piece some months later, titled “Hamptons Dreamland,” raving about the beauty, serenity and charm of the area. My sister, who worked at The Driver’s Seat then, had invited me for the summer. I stayed in one of the three bedrooms in her upstairs apartment on Elm Street, a few houses down from The Hansom House, a funky bar with outside dining and volleyball games in ...

I am profoundly disappointed in the news that Fred Thiele, the retiring state assemblyman, has dipped into the Community Preservation Fund for $2 million to rehabilitate the condemned windmill at the former Southampton College [“State Budget Authorizes Southampton Town To Partner With Stony Brook University for Windmill Repairs, Using CPF Revenue,” 27east.com, April 23]. It’s been a lawn ornament for decades and not accessible to the public for educational and tourist purposes. Moreover, Fred knows that private funds are available to do the work — if the windmill were relocated near to its original location on its namesake, Windmill Lane, ...

Last Friday afternoon, I was walking on Hill Street with my dog, Jada, when I tripped and had a bad fall. Two ladies saw my fall, stopped their car, helped me up, ushered Jada and me into their car, and brought us home. I never got their names. I wish to thank them. I sincerely hope they read this thank you note. Vincent Scerbinski Southampton
