Country Ways

Dear Bryan,
I was delighted to read in the August 5th Sag Harbor Express that the North Haven Village Board approved a local law that allows residents to have chickens. Congratulations to them for their wise and sensible decision.
In May when The Express printed a photo of the two little girls and their chickens, I [...]

Never Stop Walking

Dear Editor,
I want to commend Harvey Jacobs’ Our Town piece “Moonwalking,” which appeared in the August 5th issue.
I was eight when we first walked on the moon, and while there are now times when I wish I was younger I’m glad I’m not; I would never want to lose the memory of that [...]

Help Still Needed in Haiti

On Open Letter to President Clinton
Dear Mr. President,
If ever there was a need for a man from Hope, it is now in Haiti.
I write to you as an American citizen in Haiti who has returned to Haiti for the third time after the earthquake to do relief work. It is incredible [...]

Commemorating Long Beach
To The Editor,
Annette Hinkle’s review of the History of Long Beach Exhibit at the Sag Harbor Historical Society heightened the pleasure we already enjoyed while producing it.
We need to point out that it is the Town of Southampton that will hold a ceremony to commemorate the Foster family’s gift of the Beach to [...]

Beauty of the Earth

Dear Editor:
Saturday, July 10 … 8:30 in the morning arrived at Trout Pond for daily swim across the pond. A sacred place, not a soul in sight but my own. A time for meditation.
In dead silence though fully alive, Mother Nature began to reveal her story. Crystal clear water, perfectly still, mirroring [...]

Art or Sign?

To The Editor
I think it was rather unfair of you to attack Tom Horn Sr. for his objections to the “legs” (“Let Larry’s Legs Stay,” The Sag Harbor Express July 1, 2010).
If the Architectural Review Board can control what color paint, window size, etc. can be used to [...]

War is a Delusion

To the Editor:
My last letter about men in power going stark raving mad may have been misunderstood, but the evidence is getting clearer every day. Now they found still another enemy as they fight among themselves and call it unity. We also have become victims of this war without end.
Finally, it should [...]

Not the Garden of Eden

To the Editor:
Again, Mr. Darcey has emerged in The Sag Harbor Express with his sadistic attitude.
As I said before Mr. Darcey, you live in a free country, with freedom of speech which you sure do take advantage of.
This country is protected by courageous men and women who protect your rights. Patriotism, [...]

Minimum Wage Stifles Teen Jobs

To the Editor:
Teens will have a tough time finding a job this summer (“Teens Look for Summer Employment in Tough Job Market,” Sag Harbor Online, June 4), and one often overlooked reason are wage mandates that create a barrier between teens who want to work, and employers who want to hire.
Between [...]

The Real Shame

Dear Bryan,
I write in response to Geserina Failla D’Angelo’s letter in the June 3rd issue of The Express titled “Sold Out”.
In her letter, Ms. D’Angelo doled out shame to nearly everyone in Sag Harbor.  Instead of acknowledging that 1,050 voters supported the budget, instead of accepting that a huge turnout on a miserable [...]
