Soldier Ride New York City July 6, 2013 Dear Editor, Thank you for your inspirational, informative, but incomplete article on the 10th anniversary of Soldier Ride the Hamptons. Certainly one of the reasons Soldier Ride is a sacred day for those of us who are fortunate enough to live on the East End, is that it is named for a true Sag Harbor hero, Navy Cross recipient Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter.

A Girl of Many Talents Hampton Bays June 16, 2013 Dear David, My heart is heavy as I write this, just one day after Anna Lytton’s life was snuffed out while riding her bike. She was in my fifth-grade class at Springs School and I wanted to let readers know a little about her. Anna was gentle and wise. She, a girl of many talents, generously shared her gifts. A natural teacher, Anna patiently mentored second-grade buddies in technology.

Support Good Causes East Hampton June 3, 2013 Editor, As the summer season becomes one giant listing of fund-raisers, and we all want to attend and support good causes of every ilk, please keep in mind that many of the charities looking for support do nothing to provide service to our local community or offer financial support to those local organizations that do. Take a moment and research the fund-raisers that you plan on attending. If they do not support locals and their needs, it might be nice to look for one that does.

Aspects of the Story Sagaponack June 3, 2013 To the Editor, Will your next article be on how the Long Island Rail Road allows overcrowding to the point where there is no way to pass through an aisle or stairway in an emergency? Or their liability in over-serving and setting drunk and/or underaged passengers out to kill the rest of us on the roads later? Or will you cover how code enforcement is allowing share houses? Readers will definitely be interested in these aspects of the story! BAR

All But Gone East Hampton April 29, 2013 Dear Editor, I saw something today driving home from work that made me a little melancholy. On the L.I.E., right before the Manorville exit, there in the grass median was a cock pheasant. It caught my attention because I haven’t seen one for quite awhile. It made me think, where have all the pheasants gone?

Letters to the Editor: 04.25.13Take Note of This Date Montauk April 15, 2013 To the Editor: At any point in time, for whatever reason — a fall, a stroke, that scary pain in your chest that doesn’t go away, perhaps an automobile accident you hadn’t planned on, a boating accident, even the fishhook or knife incident gone astray, whatever — you do the 911 call, and within minutes the flashing light of an ambulance, the siren cutting the quiet air, and help is there.

Citizens for Access Rights is a grassroots, nonpolitical organization whose genesis was in response to the public access to our shorelines being threatened.
