For Nancy Springs July 3, 2012 Dear Editor, We recently attended the lovely and moving memorial service for Nancy Kane. She was such a vibrant person and one of our library’s first and most loyal supporters and volunteers.
Best Show Ever East Hampton July 22, 2012 Dear Editor, Last night we saw fireworks over Three Mile Harbor hosted by the Clamshell Foundation. The fireworks were unique and colorful. This was the best show ever. We were lucky to be able to enjoy such a display in such a beautiful setting.
Facing Traffic Sagaponack July 16, 2012 To the Editor: The editorial in the July 12 issue of The East Hampton Star is important. I would just like to add that if the following rule were adopted and adhered to, perhaps, some of these tragic incidents could be avoided: Pedestrians should walk in single file facing traffic, and bicyclists should ride in single file with traffic.
Killing Season Springs July 1, 2012 To the Editor, To whom the rules do not apply: At the beginning of every summer season for at least the last 15 years, I’ve told myself I should write a letter to the editor reminding people about the rules of the road. But I never have. Until this year. The death of that high school student on Old Stone Highway was the catalyst. I was diverted both going to, and hours later, coming from Atlantic Avenue Beach that day because of that particular accident.
Taxi Situation East Hampton June 28, 2012 Dear Editor, The death last week of the young man who was struck and killed by a taxi on Old Stone Highway and your editorial “Thoughts After a Death,” provoked me to write you about the taxi situation on the East End. Over the years we’ve watched each summer the influx of both taxi companies and individual taxis on our streets in greater numbers.
Our Appreciation East Hampton June 21, 2012 Dear David: We wish to express our appreciation to village residents who availed themselves of the opportunity to vote in the most recent election cycle.

Forever grateful, KAREN and BILL URVALEK And Family Bonac Botanicals East Hampton June 18, 2012 To the Editor, Thanks to all the donors, shoppers, and volunteers who helped make the second an
Out of Their Way East Hampton June 11, 2012 Dear Readers: A week ago Sunday I was out and about doing errands and lost two letters, ready for mailing, from my purse. Of course, they contained checks, and of course, it was raining, so they got wet if they were dropped outside, and of course it was Sunday and the post office was closed.
Its Fair Share Springs June 4, 2012 Dear David, Back in the day (Bastille Day, that is), it was quite a show, with George Plimpton and, later, James Lipton, dedicating the shells. We sat in boats and gave money for a great night; other times we went ashore and gave more money to be on the grounds for a good cause, Boys Harbor. Then it all just ended almost abruptly. The Clamshell Foundation came to the rescue, no questions asked.
Safe for All Sag Harbor May 27, 2012 Dear David: Your column, “Bad Mileage,” of May 17, seems to have anticipated something in today’s New York Times: “This Is How We Ride.” How we ride is of some concern to me as I am both a cyclist and a motorist and believe it is of utmost importance that our roads be safe for all.
A Special Day East Hampton May 21, 2012 To the Editor, Memorial Day is a special day on which we honor those who died in service to our nation. We see Petty Officer Michael Monsoor, Lt. Michael Murphy, Lance Corporal Jordon Haerter, or Lt. Joe Theinert, all of whom sacrificed their lives in the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East. We also see the faces of military nurses, who through many wars and conflicts provided care amid chaos.
