NIMBY Fantasy

No, mass transit is not the answer, except for people who work in the villages proper [“Stuck in Gridlock,” Editorial, November 7]. All you have to do is observe the trade parade on Routes 27 and 39 to see that it is made up of vans delivering goods and trucks loaded with the tools of the drivers’ trades. None of that would be changed by mass transit. It’s another NIMBY fantasy. Ana R. Daniel Bridgehampton 18 Nov 2024 by Staff Writer

Job Well Done

Now that this year’s election cycle is finally over, I would like to take a little time to publicly thank one of the most dedicated public officials that has represented the citizens of the East End, the 1st District assemblyman, Fred Thiele. Fred is retiring from elected office, first as a Suffolk County legislator, then Southampton Town supervisor, and finally as a member of the Assembly, where he spent 30 successful years. The impact of his work will be celebrated for generations to come. I first met Fred in the late 1970s, when he was working for Assemblyman John Behan. ... by Staff Writer

Thankless Task

We all arose while it was still pitch black outside, on a cold and raw morning. We drove to our assigned locations and arrived well before 5 a.m. We worked all day, either signing in voters or distributing ballots, or running the tabulating machines, and we didn’t stop until 9 p.m., after the last voter had finished. We spent an additional hour and a half breaking down the hardware, packing the physical ballots into carry bags, closing down the voting locations, and departed the location at 10:30 p.m. — again, in the pitch black night. My assigned location in the ... by Staff Writer

By Far the Worst

Donald Trump’s nominees to lead important cabinet posts — Robert Kennedy Jr. (secretary of Health and Human Services), Matt Gaetz (attorney general), Tulsi Gabbard (director, Office of National Intelligence), Pete Hegseth (secretary, Department of Defense) and Lee Zeldin (secretary, Environmental Protection Agency), otherwise known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Plus One — are by far the worst nominees ever selected to head cabinet-level positions. Robert Kennedy Jr. is a purveyor of vaccine falsehoods and various health conditions. Among other things, he’s claimed vaccines cause autism, anti-depressants cause mass shootings, and suggested that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS. He is ... by Staff Writer

Admirable Response

At about 10:15 p.m. on Friday, November 8, the wind blew down a tree across the street. The tree knocked down the electric pole, and an electric fire started. The response was very fast and professional, from the calming 911 operator (I am sorry I did not get her name) to the fire department and PSEG. The Southampton Police Department was first on the scene and blocked off the area of the fire. The firemen explained that they had to wait for power to be turned off before putting out the fire. After the fire was out, PSEG worked during ... by Staff Writer

Participants are asked to bring a yoga mat, blanket and water. To register, call 347-797-7755. The cost is $50 per person. by Staff Writer

Collateral Interference

Ralph Fasano, the overpaid director of Concern for Independent Living, has filed an intemperate, vicious lawsuit against the Town of Southampton for daring to deny him approval for his proposed 60-unit Liberty Gardens supportive facility on dangerous, crammed County Road 39 [“Liberty Gardens Developer Sues Southampton Town, Accusing Officials and Residents of Discrimination Against Veterans and the Disabled,” 27east.com, October 9]. Not satisfied to wait for a legal decision, he — or one of his paid mouthpieces — continues to litigate in the pages of Newsday. Pontificating in a “guest essay” published on Veterans Day, he segues from a few ... by Staff Writer

It Wasn't Fair

I am a proud Tuckahoe School parent who has two children attending the school and feels compelled to make a public comment about the article at 27east.com with the picture of our superintendent/principal, Len Skuggevik, over his choice of a Halloween costume, as the Joker from Batman [“Tuckahoe School Parents Outraged Over Superintendent’s Joker Halloween Costume,” 27east.com, November 6]. Several parents and PTO board members raised a concern about this choice of costume, as well as that of the assistant superintendent, Doreen Buckley, as Harley Quinn, another supervillain to Batman. I attended the PTO meeting last week and found it ... by Staff Writer

God at Work

Let’s start with the media, as it has been said that 90 percent sound pro-socialist, communist, atheist, antagonist and uninformed of the truth. Five percent are real journalists and know the “5 W’s” — who, what, when, where, why — and live up to their oath and abide with our Constitution of the United States. This election, the people’s voice was heard. It is my belief that the hand of God, at the rally July 13 in Pennsylvania, showed the people that President Donald Trump is his warrior, the David and Goliath of the 21st century, and his first term, ... by Staff Writer
