I would like to dispel some rumors that, if elected as mayor of the Village of Southampton, I have a preordained candidate in mind. If elected, one of my first responsibilities would, in fact, be to fill my open village trustee seat. I take that responsibility seriously, and I would approach that decision democratically, fairly and with an open mind, seeking an individual who would best represent the village. Here are the principles that would guide my decision: I will welcome input and recommendations from concerned and involved residents. I will consider individuals with relevant experience and a demonstrated commitment ... 20 May 2025 by Staff Writer

Rhubarb is a perennial; take good care of it, and you’ll have a bed for years. This patch is three years old, but the plants are older than that. We moved them from elsewhere, and before that they came as frozen roots from a nursery in New England. Food, even that which we cultivate in our backyard, ultimately comes from somewhere, or somewhere else, and there are backstories — families, cargo ships, conveyor belts and volcanic soils — in every bite. It’s been raining a lot this spring, and rhubarb enjoys the current conditions. Coolness keeps it robust, and “too ... by Marilee Foster

Wrecking Landmarks

Donald Trump is offering a massive public lands giveaway to the fossil fuel industry. He’s ordered the United States to “drill, baby, drill” on public lands, and he’s fast-tracked new oil and gas projects, bypassing environmental and public review. His allies in Congress are even pushing to open Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. If they get their way, the fossil fuel industry will wreck our national landmarks for profit and pump millions more tons of planet-warming pollution into the atmosphere in the process. So if we don’t want to see drilling rigs the next time we head ... 19 May 2025 by Staff Writer

Unscrupulous

The April 27 Southampton Press editorial “Under Attack” states: “Democracy is under attack.” In the Village of Southampton, democracy is denied to honest residents by the unscrupulous “nonresidents” who vote in village elections. According to New York State Election Law, to register and vote, one must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, and a resident of the state and the specific locality for at least 30 days before the election. This residency requirement ensures that voters have a genuine and ongoing connection to the community in which they cast their ballots. Addresses in the estate section have ... by Staff Writer

Rob Coburn has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to preserving the unique character and heritage of our village.

The truth is that the white South Africans are not being persecuted. They comprise approximately 7 percent of the South African population and own approximately 70 percent of the land.

The truth is that the emoluments provision in the U.S. Constitution prohibits government officials from accepting gifts or other benefits from foreign powers without the consent of Congress.

The Village of Southampton is proposing to erect a 125-foot cell tower directly behind the iconic Windmill Lane Firehouse [“Southampton Village Looks To Add Cell Tower; Historic District Could Be Expanded,” 27east.com, November 15, 2024]. This plan feels deeply out of step with the character of our quaint and historic village. As a member of the Board of Architectural Review and Historical Preservation, I strongly oppose the proposed tower due to its overwhelming scale, visual impact, and its location adjacent to our historic district. At a recent Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, it was suggested that satellite technology may provide ... by Staff Writer
