Featured Letter: Let’s cherish the North Fork
To the editor: I think we need to take a second to consider our fortunes. With the summer sun approaching, we need to leave our cold attitudes in the prior season and absorb some true light. Living on the North Fork is a blessing and instead of honking at slowpokes, we...

Statement from Governor’s office on new utility for L.I.
Dear Fellow New Yorker, In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, the Governor established the Moreland Commission to investigate utility companies’ storm preparation and response efforts, including the Long Island Power Authority. The Commission found that in addition to LIPA’s failure to perform during the storm, the organization’s structural dysfunction was responsible...

Featured Letter: Remember when Cutchogue was a quiet place?
To the editor: Welcome to the bucolic, quiet North Fork. It is 7:30 on Sunday night, May 12, Mother’s Day. We have endured four hours of non-stop noise at our home in Cutchogue. Of course there were a few helicopters early on, but this is over the top. It started this afternoon, next...

Featured Letter: Beware of the turtles in New Suffolk
To the editor: On New Suffolk Road in New Suffolk I was attacked by a turtle after trying to get it off the roadway. I gave the turtle a gentle nudge on its rump and it turned and hung onto my trouser cuff. My trying to shake it off got nowhere as...

Featured Letter: Check your numbers on teacher salaries
To the Editor: Once again I read with great dismay your editor’s attack on public education. (See referenced editorial) “For lawmakers to truly curb government spending across New York State they need to get public school teacher and administrator salaries … back into to the realm of what’s normal for middle income...

Featured Letter: Saga of General Wayne Inn a double standard
To the editor: The saga of the General Wayne Inn, ending with its inevitable demise (“Town: Take the Old Inn Down,” April 25) evokes a comparison with the fate of the Old Barge acquired by the state earlier in the year. What I find troubling, or certainly suggestive of a double standard,...

Letter: Steve Rosin always inspired those around him
To the editor: I met Steve Rosin a decade after Troy Gustavson did, but in the same fashion; he was recommended when I needed an electrician for my home. We got along famously, our families grew close and he became my best friend. Of course, Steve maintained a posse of best friends,...

Featured letter: A safer boat paint can protect environment
To the editor: It’s that time of year when preparations are being made to launch your boat. Recreational boating is one our most popular activities here on the North Fork. We’re also aware of just how important our marine environment is to our quality of life and our local economy. It’s the...

Letter: Moroccan magic a new trend in local cuisine
Great coverage of Gloria and Earl Fultz’s long overdue production of Gloria’s Moroccan magic. Let’s hope this is an overture to a new trend in North Fork cuisine. Back in the last century, Gloria generously shared with me her recipe for mirouzia, a Moroccan lamb stew that involved a complex combination...

Featured Letter: Organic lawns don’t require more time, money
To the editor: Carrie Miller’s recent article on lawn care was excellent, but readers may have gotten the impression that “organic” lawns require more time and money. I disagree. The most important tips I got from experts at Cornell take no time, require no products and cost nothing (they actually save money): 1....

Featured Letter: Bring an osprey home this summer
To the editor: I’m so excited that I saw one of my first ospreys of the season. That means we are really close to the return of the North Fork Osprey collegiate baseball team. They’re one of seven teams in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League that play here on the East End. This...

Letter: Instead of banning soda, how about tobacco?
To the editor: With so many of our politicians concerned for the health and well-being of their constituents, with their laws on banning large sugary drinks, hiding cigarettes behind the counters as well as banning “energy drinks” from teenagers, I have to wonder why not one of these elected officials has...
-
Featured Letter: North Fork deserves an assemblyman representing district
To the editor: The absence of a state assemblyman representing our district is a very poor reflection on the state of New York government. Former assemblyman Dan Losquadro, who was elected in good faith to represent us in Albany, abdicated his post after only 2 1/2 years to run for a totally...
-
Featured Letter: Music education too vital to lose
To the editor: While home on spring break, I heard an awful rumor that the North Fork public schools were strongly considering cutting their music programs. Music being one of my majors, I could not imagine students at Mattituck or any other school not having the same opportunities I did. Music...

Letter: Despicable behavior at village debate
To the editor: Monday evening’s Greenport trustee candidates’ forum was my first foray into village government. Thanks to Tim Kelly and The Suffolk Times for organizing and moderating the event, and thanks to Ms. Phillips, Ms. Robins and Mr. Swiskey for their time and commitment to our village. As a more recent...

Featured Letter: Wife defends husband’s appointment to Town Board
To the Editor: I am writing in response to Troy Gustavson's opinion piece in last week's issue of The Suffolk Times. I would have thought that Troy's working so closely with Jim Dinizio on Greenport's "Let There Be Light" project would have given him some insight into the type of person Jim is. Perhaps...
-
Featured Letter: Don’t judge Dinizio after two weeks on job
To the editor: Troy Gustavson just cannot wait to be critical of newly appointment Councilman Jim Dinizio. Why? Because he’s a member of the Southold Conservative Party? Because he was chosen by Republicans? In Mr. Gustavson’s eyes, does that make Jim Dinizio unqualified? He’s been in office for less than two weeks...
