The new Stony Brook Southampton Hospital will be built on 15 acres at the northeastern end of the campus, where the baseball and soccer fields are now. The site is adjacent to where the LIRR station used to stand, and may again someday.

DEC Says Avoid Close Encounters With Seals

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Acting Commissioner Amanda Lefton recently reminded New Yorkers along coastal shores to always keep a safe distance of at least 150 feet from marine mammals, which includes whales, dolphins, porpoises, and seals, and resist the urge to intervene when an animal comes ashore. Marine mammals are protected by federal and state laws to ensure the safety of both seals and humans. “As stewards of the environment, it is our collective responsibility to protect New York State’s wildlife,” Lefton said. “Maintaining a safe distance from seals is essential to safeguarding these marine mammals and ... by Staff Writer

Sordid, Indeed

During the 2023 Southampton Town election, Southampton Democratic Committee Chairman Gordon Herr passed out yard signs that read: “Vote Line A — Democracy is on the ballot.” Based on recent developments, it would be more accurate to say he took democracy off the ballot [“Republican Candidate Drops Out of Southampton Supervisor Race, Joining Democratic Turmoil,” 27east.com, April 7]. Last week’s Southampton Press article described “a stunning and possibly choreographed last-minute shakeup that left incomplete slates and blank columns for the town’s top offices on the November ballot.” The Democratic candidate for town supervisor now has no opponent. Democrats are running ... by Staff Writer

Time for a Change

I am truly stunned, although no longer surprised, by the steady stream of lies, deceit, turmoil, denial and backroom deals that exist regarding today’s Southampton Town Democratic Committee leadership. Remembering the Southampton Town Democratic Party in 2007, when my husband and I first joined the Democratic Committee, honorably representing our home Election District 25 for several years, and serving on the Southampton Town Democratic Club Advisory Board, it was another world, a truly uplifting political experience. People looked forward to meetings and events and were energized and successful. There was tremendous enthusiasm and camaraderie — which, unfortunately, no longer exists. ... by Staff Writer

Speak Up Loudly

“We the people of the United States.” That is the opening sentence of our common Constitution. Notice, it does not say, “We the citizens.” Words matter. I imagine that the crafters of this vital document realized this vital difference. If this is the case then we must incorporate all who live here as equal under the law. Yes, I believe this to be true. Our founders are correct. Sometimes it is necessary to speak up loudly. This is my protest. What is yours? Reminding our elected officials and our relatives and neighbors of the right and wrong of things is ... by Staff Writer

Open Resistance

John Neely’s rebuttal [“Falsehoods,” Letters, April 10] is so full of misstatements that if anyone is interested, they should reread my comments for themselves. Point one: A declared war is not the threshold for the utility of the Alien Enemies Act. The other specifically mentioned triggers are “incursion or invasion,” which obviously do qualify. I will briefly say that the legalities of the Alien Enemies Act have been confirmed by our highest court. The U.S. Supreme Court has grown weary of the overly active district courts led by liberal judges making rulings over which they mistakenly claim national jurisdiction. The ... by Staff Writer

Stick to Facts

Your article “Federal Shutdown Deal Kills Some Funding Hopes for Local Projects” [27east.com, March 20] is both inaccurate and misleading, and demands immediate correction. Chief among the errors is your misuse of the word “cut.” In doing so, you’ve essentially blamed the Easter Bunny for Santa not answering the request from someone’s wish list. A “cut” means a reduction from an enacted, authorized funding level — one passed by Congress and signed into law. What you’ve described instead is the omission of an unapproved request that never made it into any official legislation. The project in question was never funded ... by Staff Writer

Cilli Deja Vu

Maybe the expectation of spring or some other annual event causes it, but once again we have a proposal to develop the Cilli Farm, compliments of Messrs. John Shaka and Drew Harvey [“Sag Harbor Village Board Hears Call To Spruce Up Cilli Farm,” 27east.com, April 9]. Cilli Farm was acquired for the express purpose of its continuance as a village open space not subject to development — commercial, residential, organic farm or nature trail, etc. As is, where is, with all the characteristics it has acquired over the years. If you would like to explore it, go ahead. It is ... by Staff Writer
