Great Support East Hampton November 22, 2014 Dear Editor, Recently, we were able to secure our third Suffolk County Class A championship in the past four years, our first Long Island championship, and our first berth in the New York State Final Four in Middletown, where we played for the state championship. These achievements were part of a communitywide effort, and we are forever indebted to all of you for the great support you have provided us as we sought to achieve our goals and dreams. Thank you

Medical Care in Montauk Montauk November 16, 2014 Dear David, While we await resolution on Dr. Knott’s departure, I invite you to focus on another issue affecting your medical care. Do Montauk residents wish the availability of year-round, paid, advanced life support during that 40-minute ambulance ride to Southampton Hospital, just as we provide Montauk summer residents from mid-June to mid-October? Outside of this time frame, paid A.L.S. is currently available for only 12 hours (6 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

Boys Soccer Champions East Hampton November 10, 2014 Dear Editor, As they leave to represent us in the New York State Final Four, I want to publicly express my admiration for the East Hampton High School boys soccer team. After seasons of enduring racist comments and threats from both the players and parents of other teams on Long Island, they went on to win their first-ever Long Island championship. I am so proud of the way the current team and past teams have handled themselves.

Fitting Tribute Groton, Mass. October 21, 2014 Dear Sir, I have been meaning to write you for a while about the Aug. 14 obituary for my mother, Helen Cordier Johns. Although we sent you the obituary published in the local paper here, or some edited version of it, yours was researched, edited, and in large part re-written. The result was a really beautiful and fitting tribute in a newspaper she always loved. Thank you so much for this good work. Sincerely yours, JEAN J.

Cut (Plastic) Loose East Hampton October 18, 2014 Dear David: Plastic is everywhere, especially on our beaches and our front yards or the road right in front of our houses. I am on the East Hampton Recycling and Litter Committee for the Town of East Hampton. I was taking a walk a week or so ago on one of our most beautiful beaches with a friend and I could not help myself when I started seeing litter of all kinds, on this one of our many beautiful beaches.

Low-Income Projects Wainscott October 11, 2014 To the Editor: As a 27-year resident of the wonderful village of Wainscott (on Route 114 approaching Sag Harbor) — a place where both my children attended the Wainscott School, and where I have been a willing taxpayer since 1987 — I am appalled that two low-income housing projects are being actively considered by the Town of East Hampton and the Village of Sag Harbor. East Hampton, a town which has distinguished itself, for over 260 years, on the premise of “progress t

Bag the Bags Quogue October 6, 2014 Dear David, Please consider the following commentary on the downtown Montauk shoreline stabilization project.

Spellbinding Theater Amagansett September 26, 2014 David, Off Broadway is right here on Main Street in East Hampton. No need to travel to the big city, when most Tuesday nights (check Star listings), the JDTLab at Guild Hall is providing some of the best theater you’ll see on or off Broadway. Two recent Tuesday performances my wife and I caught, Joe Brondo’s “Bluebirds” and, this past Tuesday‚ “Chicken-Fried Ciccone,” written and performed by J.

Finest Kind East Hampton September 18, 2014 Dear David, Steve Marley, who taught my children in high school a long time ago, was very special. He loved his subject matter, history, cared about his students, and was devoted to his town. In other words, he was yet another of East Hampton’s finest kind.

Lifeguards Were Tops Springs September 2, 2014 Dear Editor, Spent this whole summer on Atlantic Beach in Amagansett. I must say the young men and women who were the lifeguards at the beach were tops! Always on guard and ready when the call for duty was needed. I felt very secure swimming, knowing that they were watching. On Friday, Aug. 29, I overheard one of the women say that there were 15 rescues that day.

Not Much Left Springs September 1, 2014 Dear David, We read every day about war. War can be defined as an invasion by one group assaulting another group. Isn’t that what has been happening in East Hampton? A war upon the town? Are we not struggling to maintain who and what we are? Last week’s Star editorial called it right when the editor described our decline, a slow but steady sinking into just another beach town, maybe just a bit less honky-tonk right now, but on its way to the bottom of the barrel.
