With the village elections upon us, I’d like to take this opportunity to endorse Kimberly Allan for trustee.
I first worked with Kim when she was a trustee a few years ago. While she and I didn’t always agree, her willingness to listen and do what was best for the community was always evident. She was a leader in exploring green energy but never spoke like she had all the answers.
Kim’s love of this village always trumped any agenda. Her corporate experience is clear when you work with her. She’s smart, tough and is exactly what this village needs in this time of partisanship.
It is vital that every democratic process be held to a standard of checks and balances. Kim Allan will be that person. Southampton deserves more than one voice.

In a letter to the Pine Barrens Commission arguing against a proposed 600-acre golf course resort in East Quogue known as the Lewis Road Planned Residential Development, or PRD, I recommended that the commission create a task force to pursue...
Hallelujah! The Bel-Aire Motel blight on our hamlet is in the process of being demolished. Such a long, hard-fought and, frankly, unnecessary battle to rejuvenate a sorely abused waterfront site by giving it back to nature to be quietly enjoyed...
I am a psychologist who volunteered with the Red Cross to work at Ground Zero for several weeks after the 9/11 attack. I was given the responsibility of being available for informal counseling sessions with anyone who came into the...
Anyone who attended last week’s Lake Agawam Conservancy fundraiser experienced a sharply different reality from what we witnessed just days earlier: a toxic discharge of water containing cyanobacteria, microcystin and enterococcus bacteria onto our beaches. While the conservancy acknowledged that...
