I am enthusiastically writing to recommend Race Lane restaurant. Recently open for the season, there is a new chef fresh from Nantucket. The menu still has last year’s favorites and some absolutely amazing additions...

Cherish This Lifestyle East Hampton April 7, 2011 To the Editor, I am a lucky man. I purchased property in East Hampton 25 years ago. I held on to it while I worked, thinking of building on it some day. I built my house in 1997. In April of 1998 I retired and moved here with my wife to live full time. This Bronx boy is living his dream each day I ride the beach in my truck and fish. At nearly 75, I am grateful that East Hampton is a community where dollars in one’s pocket cannot alter heritage and history.
Shall We?Apr 7, 2011
Nuclear power produces only 15 percent of the globe’s electricity. Is it really worth it? Reactors produce the most toxic waste products known to mankind. Is it really worth it?
Kalikow DockApr 7, 2011
From the standpoint of someone who has sailed in the lake, the Kalikow dock creates the need for entirely new traffic patterns for those who use small types of craft (sunfish, kayak, canoe, etc.), and there are many during the summer.
Out of MoneyApr 7, 2011
While Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac execs rob the taxpayers of millions of our dollars with their multimillion-dollar salaries, the federal government hides another $2 billion in Obamacare for bailouts...

On the Beach East Hampton July 29, 2011 To The Editor: Maybe (?) East Hampton Town could — should — address at least one of the issues below concerning the beach in Wainscott on Beach Lane: 1. The sign clearly says, “No Dogs between the hours of 10 a.m.-6 p.m.,” yet dogs are on the beach morning, noon, and night. Not only do owners disobey the sign, they often unleash their dogs, thus dogs wander onto people’s blankets (some of us are allergic to dogs!), plus dog poop is all over the beach. 2.

Selfless Efforts Springs July 22, 2011 To the Editor, On June 20 we suffered a serious fire at our home on Woodbine Drive in Springs. Fortunately, no one was home at the time and there were no injuries. But for the outstanding efforts of the volunteers of Springs, East Hampton, and Amagansett, our fire loss would have been much more severe.

Incredible Kindness East Hampton July 18, 2011 Dear Editor: The recent loss of David Hartstein has left a crater in all of our hearts. His wife, Heather, and their three children, are stunned and reeling from his sudden absence. His parents and his brother, his extended family, and his wide circle of friends and patients are all shell-shocked.

Inexcusable Springs July 6, 2011 Dear Editor Our town has become a place where people seem to be harboring more and more hate toward one another. I truly hope this story reaches all those who witnessed this incident, along with the individual that displayed such disgusting behavior. More important, we all should take the time to reflect on the ways that we treat each other.

Health Services Montauk June 28, 2011 Dear Editor, After the initial shock of my husband’s death four years ago, it became apparent that my life would be forever changed, not only on an emotional level but because the money was gone. Everyone said in concern, “Life goes on, and you must go on.” However, you must be able to pay for the necessities of life. I found myself doing with less, a lot less than I was used to. We were not wealthy. We were working people in the fishing industry from Montauk.

Gentle Soul Springs June 20, 2011 To the Editor, The lights of Main Street appeared dimmer this weekend when the news spread about David Hartstein, a gentle soul who left us all too soon. It’s funny how life works. Although David and I worked and lived in the same community, it had been some time since we had seen each other, but about a month ago our paths crossed again and it felt as though time had melted away, as if it had been just a few days since we saw each other.

David Hartstein East Hampton June 20, 2011 To the Editor, David Hartstein came into our community and with goodness and devotion to his skill made many lives better. I do not fathom a lesson from his passing. I just know I will miss him very much. RICHARD ROSENTHAL Good Fathers Gyongyos, Hungary June 19, 2011 Dear David, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Bridget LeRoy’s piece about her father.
