Southampton Town Aquatics & Recreation (STAR) Corporation wishes to thank the Southampton Town Board, the Water Mill and North Sea community advisory committees, and the many members of the Tuckahoe and Shinnecock community who have taken the time to talk with us about the STAR AquaCenter. We are in the early steps of a multi-step process to reinvigorate our dream and make it a reality.
No one denies the need in our town for a place to teach our children to swim. No one denies that there is little for children and adults to do in winter on the East End. No one denies that there has ever been a greater need for our community to come together!
Now is the time to plan for this essential indoor aquatic facility that will meet the needs of our coastal community.
We pledge to actively engage with all stakeholders and community members to share ideas and address concerns. This long overdue facility cannot be achieved without us all working together. Anyone wishing to get involved, please go to our website: starquacenter.org.

Master ClassI thank Barbara Ring for aptly proving my point. In response to my letter [“An Alliance,” Letters, April 11], which decried the state of civic public discourse in Hampton Bays as being overtaken by misinformation, fear-mongering and conspiracy peddling, Ring...
