Communal Soul East Hampton December 24, 2012 Dear David, I want to acknowledge the imminent opening of the St. Michael’s senior citizen housing development in Amagansett as well as the existing senior citizen housing developments known as Windmill One and Two and Whalebone, which provide housing for people of limited financial means. All of these housing developments are a part of the diverse community of East Hampton that we live in and in my view represent an important part of our communal soul.

Message in a Bottle East Hampton December 17, 2012 To the Editor, Like all of us, I went through a series of emotions after the shooting that took place at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. First there was shock as the number of dead rose.

More Tasteful East Hampton November 29, 2012 Dear Mr. Rattray, The Zoning Board recently granted John and Suzanne Cartier the right to keep their existing modest-size home and build a second home of similar proportions for their children and grandchildren on their larger-than-two-acre lot. The village board, however, believes a large-lot scenic easement does not allow two houses on the property and plans to take legal action against the Cartiers.

Cost of Litigating Montauk November 15, 2012 To the Editor, When I discuss my class in state and local government I have often joked that I don’t need a text, politicians give me ample material for my lectures. Sag Harbor is the latest example. The Star has covered the debate over the cost of police services to the village as well as the dispute between Janet Lehr and Vered on one side and the village over a pair of legs. Let’s think about this.

Stepped Up Montauk November 9, 2012 To the Editor, At a national and Congressional level, the nature of the debate was brutal, scarring, ugly, and personal to the extent that truth and decency were victims of the worst that we as human beings are capable of.

A Wake-Up Call East Hampton November 1, 2012 To the Editor, They say that sometimes you have to hit people in the teeth with a baseball bat before they will listen. Well, I think we were hit with a big baseball bat with respect to Hurricane Sandy. Can you believe it, a hurricane on Oct. 31? I think it is safe to say a new standard has been set for coastal storms. Let’s see, Sag Harbor Village completely flooded, Montauk Village flooded, Napeague stretch breached, Lazy Point flooded. Wainscott houses destroyed.

Everything Changed October 29, 2012 Montauk Dear David, On Monday at 3 p.m. the wind started roaring through our home. My son was here with me, as the bus to his workshop in Westhampton Beach did not come because of Sandy. Many had called to urge me to leave our home. I called the Montauk police number in the morning to ask if there was any evacuation in Montauk.

A Sad Ending Montauk October 20, 2012 To the Editor, Even with the possibility of their lives being turned upside down, the uncertainty of what was to come, the two owners of Ronnie’s Deli on Montauk’s Main Street plowed along all season not knowing whether they would be there at the end of it. That question was answered when they closed their doors on Oct.
