One To Thank

“Picklers Unite for a Cause” thank yous [Sports & Outdoors, October 17] had one glaring omission: Kerry Calvert, one of the hardest-working players to build fun in the pickleball community on the East End, was not mentioned. She has been working side by side with Vinny Mangano for years on this cause, which is close to her heart. There is a resume of the charitable work she does, and we are lucky to have her on the courts and at the Agawam concerts and the weekly happy hours she organizes. I’m grateful to all that she does for the pickleball ... by Staff Writer

Relevant Signs

I read with concern a Letter to the Editor published a few weeks back by a Republican turned Democrat turned Republican former member of the Southampton Town Planning Board [“Political Pollution,” Letters, October 3]. He was lauding the sole Republican Town Board member and her crusade to have all election signs removed from public properties. He seemed to relish the fact that the board member “instructed the Highway Department” to remove the signs in question. It was a “you go, girl” kind of thing. While true that the signs have grown in number over the years, it is also true ... by Staff Writer

Vote for Clean Water

The East End of Long Island was originally a farming and fishing community, dating back to the 1640s with the colonists, and, for many years prior to that time, for the Shinnecock and Montaukett. The original inhabitants lived off the land and the waters. Due to myriad reasons, harvesting the bounty of the seas is no longer possible in the manner it once was, but this year we have the opportunity to correct the course of water quality. A eighth of one cent tax on goods and services in Suffolk County would be dedicated to preserving our water quality, not ... by Staff Writer

Unchecked Anger

When I woke up this morning and discovered my yard sign had been vandalized, I did not feel angry. I felt sad. The word “Suffolk” had carefully and premeditatedly been replaced with the word “Idiots.” Someone felt empowered to deface my property and refer to me in a derogatory fashion. What happened to me and the pain I felt is emblematic of the larger divisiveness that currently exists in America and the unchecked anger and hatred that people feel emboldened and entitled to express. It never would have occurred to me when my family moved here almost 40 years ago ... by Staff Writer

Vote Yes on Props

Clean water is on the ballot this Election Day, and we urge Southampton Town residents to flip the ballot and vote yes for Proposition 2, and Proposition 3, the clean water questions. After more than a decade of research, scientists have confirmed that nitrogen from outdated and failing septic systems is the primary controllable source of nitrogen pollution leading to the declining health of our bays and harbors all across Suffolk County. If passed, Prop 2, will establish a stable source of dedicated funding for the next 35 years to help homeowners pay for the replacement of their current septic ... by Staff Writer

Trick or Treat?

As Halloween approaches, it’s impossible not to see the eerie similarities between the spooky season and the administration of Southampton Village Mayor Bill Manger. Halloween is a time for costumes, trick-or-treating and — if you’re not careful — a few scary surprises. Last year, Bill Manger came to us dressed up as a “good manager,” full of promises and treats, yet all he delivered were tricks. Trick No. 1? Record-breaking $2.1 million spending increases and nearly $6 million of excess borrowing. Instead of managing the budget carefully, we got a frightening pile of more bills. Trick No. 2? Zoning code ... by Staff Writer
