Letters to the Editor: Week of February 9, 2012
The low road To the Editor: For anyone who is confused by my position on town provided health care or why I voted against the highway contract, I’ll try and explain. In a country dedicated to the proposition that all of us come into this life as equals, it is not such a...

Extra payments To The Editor: A recent Town Council report prompted some thoughts. If one of the motivations for running for elected office is to “serve” the community, then the concept of salary (as opposed to expense reimbursement) may be brought into question. But over and above that, the additional payments made...

A win for everyone To the Editor: Having viewed the January 10 meeting of the Town Board on Channel 22 at which some support for solar installations for town buildings was expressed, I went ahead and made some additional preliminary contacts: (1) All four solar contractors/installers recently spoken with were enthusiastic about offering...

War criminals To the Editor: On a cold day in February, 2003, a group of Shelter Islanders paraded near the Town Hall to protest then-President Bush’s decision to take us to war in Iraq. There were similar demonstrations in towns and cities across America and around the world. The Shelter Island Reporter...

Wonderful place To the Editor: We all know how special Shelter Island is but there are times like these that really bring it to light. The outpouring of generosity from Islander to Islander was amazing this Christmas season. From the organizations that gave warmth, light and food, to the people who gave...

Chequit’s buyer To the Editor: While we are somewhat flattered to have the old news that the Chequit may be sold trump something really important such as the news that Amanda Clark was in close contention for her second appearance in the Olympics and, as events have evolved, our heartfelt congratulations and...

Emphasize similarities To the Editor: It’s true that there is sometimes an ethnic connotation to the term “Upper West Side,” even though my neighborhood has become greatly diversified in the 50 years I’ve lived there. But I don’t expect the whole world to know this and I certainly don’t think that the...

Voters smeared To the Editor: After one of the Island’s nastier political campaigns, I was not alone in finding the Reporter’s November 24 post-election editorial offensive. How offensive? How about mean-spirited, divisive and dismissive of all those registered to vote in a Shelter Island election who chose to exercise their franchise with an...

Where we stand To the Editor: As Americans, we stand for our representative democracy, where we are all considered equally intelligent and have the right to elect the individuals who we feel are the best choices to represent us. As Shelter Islanders, we stand proud that we had a 70-percent voter participation, the...

Be proud To the Editor: As a part-time resident of the Island, I’ve had the pleasure to attend the Island’s volleyball matches a few times a year. Coach Cindy Belt is the finest coach in the region and will have the squad in the hunt again next season. Seniors McGayhey and Willumsen completed stellar...

‘Blight on stilts’ To the Editor: It seems like only yesterday that I spent 20 of my happiest years on Little Ram, some of them as the head of the Ram Island Association. Ever since, a tenuous lifeline to the Island has been a subscription to the Reporter. During many hundreds of crossings...

For Dougherty To the Editor: Having known Jim Dougherty (and Nancy) for the last 35 years, I am delighted that he continues to run for supervisor and work to protect our Island and our aquifer. Some folks forget that Jim and some far-sighted Islanders, Alice Knight, Barbara Olton, and others, suggested and...

Time for 2-year term To the Editor: What prompted me into pursuing this issue? As some of you know, I frequently attend Town Hall work sessions. It is not out of choice, ambition for public seat or a lust for political combat. Frankly, I would rather be out on my boat with...

Causeway shock To the Editor: Anyone driving across First Causeway last week got a shock. The vegetation buffering the new house from the road was clear cut, reportedly to make room for cesspools and a driveway. This may be permitted but it’s not a good result. If you haven’t seen the project...

Two-year term limit To the Editor: Before I retired, I used to have a performance evaluation at least once a year. Based on that evaluation, I either got a raise, did not get a raise, lost pay, or even lost my job. I think that evaluations are a fair thing to do. ...

Future of Shell Beach To the Editor: Last week the Shelter Island Highway Department executed an emergency repair of Oak Tree Lane utilizing existing town resources (boulders, soil and stone). Oak Tree Lane connects Peconic Avenue and East Brander Parkway to Shell Beach. The Silver Beach Association (SBA) owns 600 feet on...

Setting it straight To the Editor: I am writing to set the record straight. In the September 8 issue of the Reporter, there was a wonderful full-page ad recognizing our local first responders on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. My name was added to the list of our Shelter Island Police officers...

‘No’ to Gitlin To the Editor: The town is at a dangerous crossroads, not only financially but also environmentally. At such a critical time as this, we need leadership and the Town Board should not act as passive gatekeepers waving everyone through who wishes an exception to our environmental laws, just as...
