Letter: Sad to see The North Shore Sun go
MIDDLE ISLAND To the Editor: The folding of a newspaper is a sobering day in a democracy, but the death of a local newspaper is a personal loss to a community. For several years, the Longwood community could keep up with what was happening in the area, including the schools, by reading the...

Letter: Amper is off base on Middle Island plans
MIDDLE ISLAND To the Editor: Dick, Dick, Dick. The recent North Shore Sun letter targeting Connie Kepert makes something abundantly clear. Dick Amper’s been drinking from his cesspool again. Sandy Hills is not a mega-development or a mini-city. It’s a smart growth alternative to dozens of single family homes – which actually do raise taxes...

Letter: Sound Beach FD explains late night siren
SOUND BEACH To the Editor: Since before Tropical Storm Irene arrived on Long Island, the members and staff at the Sound Beach Fire Department have been determined in their goal to serve the community at large and assist the residents in their time of need. As you are all well aware, a good...

Letter: Calling on the ‘old’ Connie Kepert
Councilwoman Connie Kepert has sure changed her tune since she was a civic leader. Then, she fought against reckless development that raises taxes, increases traffic and undermines our environment. Then, she fought for good government. Not so, since becoming a politician. Now, she’s a big fan of high-density development, whether or...

Letter: Brookhaven residents can earn recyclebank rewards Starting Aug. 3
FARMINGVILLE To the Editor: Brookhaven residents have recently received letters introducing them to a newly adopted recycling rewards program called Recyclebank that is officially launching on August 3. Recyclebank is an exciting program that rewards residents for recycling, but also helps the environment and keeps our communities beautiful. Any resident who receives Town...

Letter: Why is Karl Rove involved in our affairs?
CALVERTON To the Editor: President Obama’s historic deal, cutting $4 trillion dollars from our national debt has been rejected by House Republicans. Instead, they are going to vote on a plan they call “Cut, Cap and Balance” that seriously undercuts Medicare and Medicaid funding and virtually codifies the Bush tax cuts forever by...

Letter: Levy’s got some time to make good
RIDGE Your editorial “Steve Levy should forego the victory laps” was right on, but there’s another, even more important reason why bragging is not in order. The 58,000 acres of open space and farmland that Suffolk County has preserved were mostly saved by Mr. Levy’s predecessors, so a victory lap for Mr....

Letter: It’s about the children
SECURITY, CO To the Editor: Grant Parpan’s opinion piece of June 23 deserves a reply. The matter of same-sex marriage, he declares, might lead to more phone calls from others turned off by such a mailing. For one, count this pastor in. What matters in the scene around us and our eternal...

Letter: Mt. Sinai Village Centre poll is a good idea
EAST MORICHES To the Editor: Polls properly done should be used in land use planning, but not as the only tool to gauge public sentiment. The validity of a poll, however, depends on the purpose for which it was conducted (which affects the questions) and how it was conducted. There must be...

Letter: Republican chairman won’t ‘sit on sidelines’ of school votes
RIDGE To the Editor: I want to thank Nikko Lavey for the Letter to the Editor which appeared last week, in which the commitment of the Brookhaven Town Republican Committee and my chairmanship to improve the voter participation in all elections — especially those elections like universal school board and budget day...

Letter: Republicans did SWR no favors on Election Day
WADING RIVER To the Editor: I am writing this note in response to the letter posted by Brookhaven Town Republican Committee Chairman Jesse Garcia on his organization's website regarding recent school board elections. I find his message extremely disappointing, because when it comes to the SWR school district, Chairman Garcia obviously spent no...

Letter: South Yaphank Civic supports Meadows plan
YAPHANK To the Editor: The South Yaphank Civic Association supports The Meadows at Yaphank. It is a regional significant project which must receive approval from the Town and the Central Pine Barrens Commission. It is a project that the Town and AVR Realty have been working on for the past 18 months. AVR has...

Letter: Why you should vote for us
MILLER PLACE To the Editor: We are writing you to discuss the very important decision we all have to make this Tuesday, May 17 regarding the future of our public schools and our children. Over the past few weeks, you have seen the signs, read the web sites and attended the meetings...

Letter: Vote for Arnold, Neyland in Miller Place
MILLER PLACE To the Editor: On May 17, the Miller Place School District election for new Board of Education trustees offers a rare opportunity for residents to move the district in a positive direction — toward stability and sustainability — while benefiting not only our children’s education, but also our community as...

Letter: We want your vote for SWR school board
SHOREHAM-WADING RIVER To the Editor: We would like to introduce ourselves and ask for each resident’s vote for all three of us on Tuesday May 17. We are among the candidates running for the three open seats on the SWR Board of Education. SWR is at a critical juncture. There is...

Letter: Board member supports Alcorn, Field and Costas in SWR
SHOREHAM To the Editor: This is a pivotal moment for Shoreham-Wading River. We stand at a figurative fork in the road. We are faced with a critical choice: Will this community choose to return to the old, beaten path we have been traveling on for years or continue on a revitalized path...

Letter: I support Costas, Alcorn and Field in SWR
SHOREHAM To the Editor: I am a Senior Citizen who has lived in SWR for 53 years, raised three children in our schools and served on several of our school boards. I fully — enthusiastically — support three candidates for the Board of Education: Jack Costas, Bob Alcorn and Keith Field,...

Letter: Why I’m running for SWR school board
SHOREHAM To the Editor: Our current education model is unsustainable in terms of revenue needed to meet our exponentially increasing expenses. With New York State in a deficit, we have little likelihood of state aid increases across the board, and taxpayers cannot bear a greater burden. So if revenue stays stagnant, the only other thing to...
