Facing Traffic Sagaponack July 16, 2012 To the Editor: The editorial in the July 12 issue of The East Hampton Star is important.

Amazing Help East Hampton December 4, 2012 Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the East Hampton and Springs community for their prayers, thoughts, and help during the recent passing of my sister Tara Loper Mansir.
