So Many Paddles To Choose -- Which One Is Right for Me?

Whether you just started playing pickleball or are an experienced player, the choices for pickleball paddles can be very intimidating and confusing. When Joel Pritchard invented the game in his backyard in 1965, I’m sure he never imagined how popular it would become, with the overwhelming need to constantly improve the equipment that players would be using. The first paddles were produced in his shed using fabricated plywood. We’ve come a long way, baby! If you search online, or go to a sporting goods store, the number of choices can be overwhelming. Joola, Selkirk, CRBN, Paddletek, Franklin and Proton are ... 14 Oct 2024 by Vinny Mangano

Stronger Oversight

After years of negotiation, the Southampton Town Trustees have finally achieved an agreement ensuring their own tax line. This has significant meaning for all residents and ensures that, going forward, the Trustees board will be financially independent from the town. This operational change ensures that we can have stronger oversight and protection of the Town Trustee properties that my fellow board members and I have been elected to oversee. In turn, residents will see better cost-saving initiatives and better service related to Trustee operations. Some of the Trustee oversight includes all bottom lands of town bodies of water (Lake Agawam, ... by Staff Writer

Difference Revealed

The recent League of Women Voters debate between two Assembly candidates [“Assembly Candidates Schiavoni, Kiely Featured in League Debate,” 27east.com, October 9] revealed the difference between a knowledgeable public servant, Tommy John Schiavoni, and an inexperienced Stephen Kiely. Among other issues, the debate addressed traffic, affordable housing and water quality. On the traffic issue, whereas Mr. Kiely spoke in generalities, decrying the Metropolitan Transit Authority — “The MTA is mismanaged, and we have to look at where the waste is” — Mr. Schiavoni demonstrated his capacity to deal with the world as it exists and still make progress in his ... by Staff Writer

Ban Religious Tyranny

I would like to respond to the coward who mailed my husband and me an anonymous letter accusing us of being heinous murderers of our grandchildren because we support reproductive freedom for our daughters. It is a sad commentary that people today feel entitled to spew ugly and patronizing rhetoric to their neighbors without taking the time to understand their stories. Let me assure you: We do not support killing our grandchildren. There have been a lot of ridiculous accusations thrown out by Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans that Democrats support abortion after a fetus is born. Once born, a ... by Staff Writer

New Vision

Remember as you peruse these thoughts that one sign of maturity is the ability to hold entirely contradictory thoughts in your mind without losing your sanity. That would be a quiet day in this writer’s mind. On to The Express Sessions luncheon in Hampton Bays, which opened with the question: What is your vision for the town 20 years from now? What followed was two hours of the same voices squabbling over the same issues that I have been listening to for five years now, the gas station being an exception. I did say at an Alliance meeting that the ... by Staff Writer

Confirming Truth

In Bill Manger’s October 10 letter [“Revealing Truth”], there’s hardly any truth at all. Manger goes to great lengths to claim that no campaign donors had a hand in making Anthony Carter the village’s former chief of police, and, more improbably, that he doesn’t take direction from his donors. We all know that in politics, from the local to the national level, campaign donors always influence decisions. To suggest otherwise, especially when his donors are the “who’s who” of the most powerful billionaires and hundred-millionaires in the country, is an insult to our intelligence. But the real proof of Manger’s ... by Staff Writer

Real Law and Order

Surveys continue to show that law and order is a top priority for Americans. Appropriately so. We all deserve to feel safe in our communities and have every right to expect our elected officials will work to ensure our safety and uphold the law. Republicans like Nick LaLota have claimed to be the law-and-order candidates — but if you look beyond the fear-mongering rhetoric, it’s clear that it is the Democratic challenger, John Avlon, who supports policies and programs that will improve safety and security in our community. Over the past several years, Republicans have demonstrated a consistent pattern of ... by Staff Writer

Keep Water Clean

Our coastal community relies on clean water. This Election Day, we have an opportunity to secure clean water for the future. Flip your ballot to find the clean water question and vote yes on Ballot Proposition 2. Here’s why I’m voting yes. We all depend on clean water. It affects our health, our local economy, and our environment. Unfortunately, nitrogen pollution has been contaminating our water — our beaches, bays, and harbors and our drinking water. Scientific research shows the main cause of the county’s poor water quality, harmful algal blooms, and damaged wildlife habitat is nitrogen pollution from outdated ... by Staff Writer
