The community response to our bike collection has been heartwarming. We have delivered more than 30 bikes to the Long Island Bike Cooperative in Manorville, and there are still more to be delivered. They will repair bikes. We will have a truck to bring bikes from Manorville to Riverhead, and a volunteer who has offered to bring them from Riverhead to Red Creek Park on May 4.
Several supporters have asked how they can help. There are a few ways. We would like to offer safety vests and new or not outdated helmets along with the bikes. LIBC and Neighbors In Support of Immigrants are splitting the cost of the truck from Manorville. We would like to give the volunteer driver some gas money.
If you would like to contribute to these expenses, please make the check payable to Centro Corazon de Maria, and write “NISI Bicycle Recycling” on the memo line. Since NISI no longer has a P.O. box, please address the envelope to Centro Corazon de Maria, 31 E. Montauk Hwy, Hampton Bays, NY 11946.
We are grateful for your continued support.

Come TogetherHampton Bays is the embodiment of the “Cheers” theme song: It’s a place “where everybody knows your name.” If I describe Hampton Bays to someone not from here, it’s compared to Stars Hollow in “Gilmore Girls” or a small town...
Two Sets of RulesSouthampton Village Mayor Bill Manger rammed through a bloated $37 million annual budget, the largest in Southampton Village history. Spending continues to spiral out of control, up another $1.2 million this year alone, on top of the $2.1 million increase...
Positive ActionsDenunciation by recitation would not stand up in court, nor should it in the court of public opinion. Without the strengths of context, evidence or sources, Carol Scott’s Letter to the Editor [“Bad for Southampton,” Letters, April 24] unfairly maligns...
How Did This Happen?If I had a dollar for every person who has called, emailed or stopped me on a village street in the past two weeks to express their outrage over the solar canopy erected in the Jobs Lane parking lot, I...
Not a JokeJust last week, the Southampton Town Democratic Party’s vice chair, who jokingly described herself as Chairman Gordon Herr’s “henchwoman,” went after a former elected official and a former Southampton Town Planning Board member [“Beware of Grudges,” Letters, April 24]. Why?...
You've Been DupedI’d like to respond to Andi Klausner’s recent letter [“Beware of Grudges,” Letters, April 24], in which she assumed the role of grifter Gordon Herr’s “henchwoman.” Andi, you’re not the henchwoman — you’re the patsy. Andi’s letter got me thinking:...
