My father had a constant worry about one thing: that the Town of East Hampton would settle with the individuals who have now blocked Bay View Avenue for 2,335 days as of Sunday evening.
Last week, Resolution 2024-1529 was passed and has left me speechless. Thank goodness he passed away earlier this year. This would have done him in to see no enforcement and a settlement after seven summers lost. Are we heading to eight? A meeting Tuesday about something that was denied previously. The only other dog-and-pony show that could rival this would be the Amagansett School Board superintendent search.
Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Still here.

End the EmbargoI read the viewpoint “Cuba Teeters on the Brink of Collapse” [Opinion, December 12], and I didn’t find any mention of the 64-year-old embargo on Cuba. The embargo was designed in 1960 to bring hunger and misery to the Cuban...
A Safer WorldI’m glad to see that Paula Angelone, Ph.D, in “The American Way” letter [November 14], acknowledges that President-elect Donald Trump will end the war in Ukraine and bring peace to the Middle East. Ms. Angelone criticizes the president-elect if he...
Heartfelt ThanksOn Friday, December 6, Eastern Suffolk Ducks Unlimited hosted its annual December dinner. This year, we hosted just under 200 supporters of Ducks Unlimited. The Eastern Suffolk Ducks Unlimited Committee is a group of dedicated volunteers of all ages from...
KakistocracyI read with interest Ed Surgan’s take regarding Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary, along with some other issues [“Savor the ‘Miracle,’” Letters, December 12]. Mr. Surgan states that Hegseth is “uniquely qualified.” I doubt that “uniquely qualified” means a...
