The Retreat Calls Attention to Human Trafficking in Light of Alexander Brothers Indictment

The Retreat, an East Hampton-based nonprofit agency that provides services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and offers violence prevention community education, is calling attention to sex trafficking and sexual assault on the South Fork in light of the recent indictment of the Alexander brothers. Oren and Tal Alexander, who were luxury real estate brokers in Miami, New York and the Hamptons, and their brother Alon were arrested in December on federal charges of sex trafficking. Authorities described a pattern of sexual abuse spanning more than a decade in which they allegedly lured woman through “deception, fraud and ... 20 Dec 2024 by Staff Writer

Let It Play Out

My response, Harry Mainzer, to your argument that Pete Hegseth is unqualified for nomination and confirmation as secretary of defense is: Let the process play out [“Kakistocracy,” Letters, December 19]. My disagreement with you is primarily with the faceless, anonymous sources that have been used to contaminate the fairness of this nomination. For Donald Trump supporters, it is all too reminiscent of the innuendo, lies and outright subterfuge of the initial Trump presidency by a Democratic Party and its complicit media, which abandoned its journalistic responsibilities to amplify doubt and falsehoods. It is clear that you don’t see it from ... by Staff Writer

Reap Joy

I immersed myself in the Hamptons Doc Fest this December, both as a volunteer and a filmgoer. I hadn’t attended more than a handful of films over the festival’s history, now in its 17th year; however, my recent involvement electrified me with the intoxicating breadth and vitality of this magnificent event! From founder Jacqui Lofaro and her mainstay of directors, to its staff and boards, to its sponsors and patrons, the Hamptons Doc Fest is a hard-driving jubilee rivaling any international film festival. I read a quote that film festivals are “niche businesses.” Upon offering my aid shortly after eye ... by Staff Writer

Unprofessional Tirade

In Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” Queen Gertrude famously observes, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks,” suggesting that overly forceful denials often reveal a lack of sincerity. This sentiment captures the debacle at the December 12 Southampton Village Board meeting, where Trustee Robin Brown, without being listed on the agenda, commandeered the public’s time with an unprofessional tirade [“Trustee Robin Brown Takes Southampton Village Ethics Board to Task at Meeting,” 27east.com, December 18]. At approximately the 1:05:34 mark, Brown, encouraged by Mayor Bill Manger, interrupted the meeting to launch a seven-minute, misguided attack on the Village Ethics Board, which had found her ... by Staff Writer

Southampton Village Board Hears Update to Resort Hotel Plans, Adds Clarification to Leaf Blower Ban

During a public hearing at the latest Southampton Village Board meeting on December 12, representatives for Dede Gotthelf, the owner of 71 Hill Street, presented updated and revised plans for a resort hotel that will include several units of workforce housing. The primary feature of the latest revision is the elimination of plans for an indoor pool, which will have the effect of decreasing the overall width of the building and will allow for more green space on the property. The plan will now include an outdoor pool instead. The changes mean the building will now only cover 50 percent ... by Cailin Riley

Swords Into Plowshares

It isn’t the first potato truck I learned to drive, but it’s the same kind, a retrofitted army truck, rugged and simple in accord with its unstoppable American design. When the engine cranks and comes to life — as it has for 50 years, and will for 50 more — patriotic old men, many of them farmers, know to thank Detroit. But we’ve sold her. We’re thinning the fleet. A farm in Vermont wants this one. Almost all of our harvest trucks have a military surplus pedigree. With this pedigree comes a year. One of the oldest trucks, one we ... by Marilee Foster
