VIEWPOINT: Hampton Bays: The Time To Act Is Now

By Joe Calderone Say the word “Hamptons” and the world immediately imagines multi-billionaires residing behind estates surrounded by tall hedges that hide lush in-ground pools, manicured lawns, private beach access and circular driveways stocked with BMWs, Maseratis and the occasional Bentley. The Wall Street wealthy and Hollywood East sets are seen strolling along the picturesque streets of exclusive East Hampton, Southampton and Bridgehampton boutiques and trendy restaurants. Then there is Hampton Bays — a proud, working-class, family-friendly community that disdains uber-wealth, celebrates its access to the Peconic and Shinnecock bays, along with great beaches on Dune Road fronting the same ... 8 Oct 2024 by Joe Calderone

Rethinking ‘Marshes’

What a difference several decades have made when it comes to wetlands. At long last, there’s been a change spurred by enlightened government leadership, action by environmental organizations and, amid the climate crisis, the realization of the importance of wetlands in providing coastal resiliency in the face of climate change. Wetlands, where fish feed and breed — among other attributes — are a vital part of the environment. But for so long this was not recognized. Wetlands were dismissed as “marshes” to be filled and turned into property on which construction could take place. Studies have determined that half of ... by Karl Grossman

What Lies Ahead

Ever since I read James Hansen’s “Storms of My Grandchildren,” I have spent countless hours reading about climate change. As evidence mounted revealing the damaging potential of a changing climate, I wondered if a storm so out of the ordinary, so powerful and so disastrous in its impacts would give birth to a heightened sense of emergency. And would that sense of emergency translate into Earth-friendly public policy? Is Hurricane Helene just such an event? The impact of the path of devastation from Tampa, Florida, to the western portion of North Carolina and eastern Tennessee can be measured in lives ... by Staff Writer

He's Rattled

I was disappointed to read Bill Manger’s letter in The Southampton Press attacking a resident, specifically for defending village employees and their right to organize under New York State’s Taylor Law [“False and Malicious,” Letters, October 3]. Manger’s decision to publicly attack a private citizen is not only unbecoming but shows how rattled he is by this resident’s accurate observations. His letter, titled “False and Malicious,” is, ironically, just that, for several reasons. First, he denies there have been “multiple” improper practice charges filed by the Civil Service Employees Association, when, in fact, two charges are known, with the possibility ... by Staff Writer

The Best Party Ever

I can’t remember the last time we had trick-or-treaters. I miss the little children dressed as wanna-be witches, princesses and superheroes, rushing to the door, yelling, “Trick or treat!” I liked dressing up as a child but not as an adult. I cringed when we received an invitation to a costume party. It seemed like such an effort, but they were always fun. Dressing as a nun was easy while I still had my college robe and fun when paired with a male dancer. I also had been Edward Scissorhands, and a member of Kiss. We had a lot of ... by Denise Gray Meehan

The Right Person

John Avlon is exactly the right person to be elected to Congress at this time. He has shown throughout his career the ability to work effectively with both Democrats and Republicans. Avlon has studied and written about the founding of our country, from the time of George Washington to the present, in order to understand and help us move forward in achieving the goals of the average American. He respects the rights of women and couples to decide when is the best time to have children. He knows that doctors, not politicians, are in the best position to determine the ... by Staff Writer

It's About Economics

There has been much debate regarding the Shinnecock Nation and the gas station, monuments, etc. What the average person doesn’t realize is that members of the Shinnecock Nation who live on Shinnecock Territory do not individually own the land they build their homes on. In fact, this is true for all reservations across the country. Therefore, they cannot get a conventional mortgage to build or buy a home on the reservation. There are some federal government programs that will help fund housing, but they are difficult to obtain and take years for approval. Most homes on the Shinnecock Territory are ... by Staff Writer

Treasured Memories

It takes a village to sustain a small independent bookshop for over 40 years, and it takes a village to help that same bookshop pack up its hand-selected collection, odd furniture, treasured artwork and memorabilia. Our tremendous thanks to the many folks who helped with this enormous task, one that challenged us physically, emotionally, psychically, spiritually. Our beloved staff and friends volunteered long hours to pack and haul boxes. They found time to bake banana bread, bring pot pies, deliver lunches, transport donations to various local nonprofits, and keep our spirits buoyed. Many contributed to our GoFundMe campaign. We’re humbled ... by Staff Writer
