Protect Crabs

As reported in The Press, the New York State Legislature recently considered a proposal to increase the protection of Atlantic horseshoe crabs [“Governor ‘Drops the Axe’ on Horseshoe Crabs, Vetos Bill That Would Have Ended Commercial Harvest,” 27east.com, December 18]. Assemblyman Fred Thiele voted against the legislation, citing their value as bait in commercial fisheries. Horseshoe crabs are also caught and drained of up to one-third of their blue blood and then released back to the sea alive. There are cells in their blood, which, like white cells in human blood, can recognize bacteria and other toxins. One use of ... by Staff Writer

Usurped Land

Kudos to Michael Iasilli and Tommy John Schiavoni, who now serve on the Southampton Town Council and the New York State Assembly, respectively, for voting against suing the Shinnecock Nation for building a gas station on their own territory [“Southampton Town Will Sue Shinnecock Nation To Halt Hampton Bays Gas Station Development; Tribe Vows Defiance,” 27east.com, December 19]. In recent Letters to the Editor, people lamented the tearing down of trees and the harmful effects the construction will have on animals who live in these woods. We wonder why we do not hear the same outcry from people when trees ... by Staff Writer

Flag Rescue

The Water Mill Village Improvement Association would like to thank the Southampton Fire Department, along with Chief Emmanuel Escobar, Kenneth Lockard and Peter Feeney, as well as David Raynor Landscaping and his associates. The crews showed up at the request of the Water Mill Village Improvement Association after the flag on the Water Mill Village Green became stuck at the top of the 100- foot flagpole. The crew from Raynor Landscaping laid protective wood down on the green to protect it from the weight of the massive fire truck. Once the truck was in place, it took the firefighters no ... by Staff Writer

Signs of Love?

Near the end of Towd Road on the right was a rock with the saying “Do What You Love” painted in white. I smiled every time I saw it, and I took my grandchildren to share it with them. I’m pretty sure that many people enjoyed it as much as I did and found it inspirational, especially for young people. But now it’s gone — because the town has covered it with a plaque (something about land preservation). Besides covering the saying, they chose a poor spot on a rock where it doesn’t sit well in an area that most ... by Staff Writer

Everyday Hypocrisy

It does not matter where we get the definition of the hypocrite from, and it does not matter how many of them are out there. If you pretend that you are a different person than you are, you are a hypocrite. Some of us may object to such a description of ourselves, and we might be upset to be called this name, but the best way to find out if we are one of them is to look in the mirror. Some of us may say: No, it is not true — it is not me, the mirror is lying. ... by Staff Writer

Race to Extremes

In Ed Surgan’s recent letter [“Let It Play Out,” Letters, December 26], he disagreed with me due to “primarily … faceless, anonymous sources.” The reality of D.C., statehouses and sometimes even local government is the use of anonymous sources when gathering information for a story. Retribution has become a key tool for many in power. Donald Trump, in fact, openly threatens the use of retribution quite often and did use it to punish perceived enemies during his first term. Whistleblower protection laws were enacted because of such threats and actions from people in power. What Mr. Surgan doesn’t acknowledge in ... by Staff Writer

VIEWPOINT: The Day I Almost Killed Jimmy Carter

Back when Jimmy Carter was president, politics didn’t even have a back seat in my life. It was just after college, and it was the dawn of my independence. My plan was to work hard, have fun, pay New York City rent and never have to lean on my parents again. My only memory of Jimmy Carter’s presidency was that interest rates went up so high that paying off credit cards cut into my bar tab. Worse, soon after Carter left office, Congress passed a bill that eliminated the tax deduction on the interest on credit cards. The payments must ... by By Donathan Salkaln
