A New Low

The full-page ad by East Coast Mines and Materials in the November 21 edition of The Press strikes a new low. Those who collaborated on this vile attack are far beneath contempt. Briefly, the ad claims cooperation between the supervisor and a landowner who allegedly contributed to her campaign in the 2023 election, to close sand mines owned and operated by East Coast, so as to increase the value of surface property developed by the alleged donor. This fabrication completely ignores New York State law, which recognizes that sand mines are a mortal threat to Long Island’s precious sole-source aquifer, ... by Staff Writer

Misleading Ad

The egregious full-page ad in the November 21 edition of The Southampton Press regarding Sand Land Mine operations in Southampton Town is misleading and wrong. The ad, designed to encourage readers to doubt the many-years effort to close the polluting Sand Land Mine operations, is by an East Quogue group, East Coast Mines and Minerals, and asserts that, “There is not a single study to justify their claims of groundwater contamination.” Assemblyman Fred Thiele, the Group for the East End and the Noyac Civic Council beg to differ. The East Hampton Star, quotes Mr. Thiele: “Sand Land is a proven ... by Staff Writer

Hotline Open To Save Cold-Stunned Turtles

The New York State Marine Rescue Center has issued a reminder that cold stun season is approaching and that its 24-hour stranding hotline is open for those who come upon a stunned turtle on the beach. The number to call is 631-369-9829. When water temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, the breathing rate and movements of sea turtles slow, making them unable to swim against currents or dive under the water surface. Due to this, the sea turtles are washed to shore by winds and tides. The New York Marine Rescue Center responds to these sea turtles and rehabilitates them ... by Staff Writer
