Featured Letter: ‘Humbling and inspiring’ to be honored
To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the honor of being named “Civic Person of the Year.” It is both humbling and inspiring. Humbling because I know I do not do this work alone; the community I live in has many footmen who work...

Featured Letter: Blame sins of the father for LIPA
To the Editor: Hearing again and again the news that Andrew Cuomo was blaming LIPA for not responding well to Sandy, and that he now wants to put it into private hands. I keep thinking that no one seems to want to remember that his father, Mario, was the one who insisted...
-
Featured Letter: Lucas reflects on Riverhead shelter efforts
To the Editor: I wanted to thank you for the award of person of the year for 2012. I am really honored and humbled for the recognition. I am not the type of person that wants the attention for myself as much as for the goal of building my Town of Riverhead...

Featured Letter: Language remarks the height of ignorance
To the Editor: I was disgusted to read Elizabeth Lake-Grande’s letter attacking your paper and, seemingly, all non-English speakers (“Speak American!” Dec. 20-27.) Fortunately for us, the writer of this cruel, thoughtless and unbelievably ignorant letter does not speak for the majority of Americans or East Enders, many of whom appreciate...
-
Letter: ‘Dilemma for Riverhead Republicans’
To the Editor: Walter vs. Krupski: What a quagmire! What are the voters of Riverhead to do. A vote in January for Mr. Walter kicks him upstairs and creates a movement of political chairs that would equal or dwarf the deck-chair movement on the Titanic. Should Mr. Walter become a County Legislator after all...

Letter: Denigration of teachers has to stop
The past few years have seen educators across the country vilified, and the constant denigration of America’s teachers has had a dehumanizing effect. America’s public education system is simplistically portrayed as being rife with uninspired, lazy incompetents bereft of any intrinsic motivation. Politicians in Washington and state houses across the country, as...
-
Letter: Media partially to blame for shootings
To the Editor: I have literally felt sick to my stomach after hearing about the horrific tragedy that has happened in Connecticut. My thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to those parents who are now living a Hell on earth. Now is not the time for the media to fan a "gun...
-
Featured Letter: Time to talk gun control
To the Editor: It is impossible to articulate the magnitude of the horror of the massacre in Connecticut . Those who say "guns don't kill, people do" are so wrong. If that mentally ill young man had a knife, there would have been loss of life, but nothing nearly as horrific. It is...

Featured Letter: Riverhead Noticias-Revisar?
To the Editor: Why doesn’t the sanctimonious News-Review publish a Spanish-language version and give it out for free? It’s called practice what you preach. Richard Wheeler, Aquebogue ...
-
Featured Letter: Will candidates do anything about home heating oil tax?
This is an open letter to candidates for 1st legislative district, Sean Walter and Al Krupski. Gentlemen, please tell us "on the record" what you intend to do to repeal the 3.25 percent Suffolk county tax on home heating oil. If you want my vote and respect be specific and intelligent...
-
Letter: Where are the breaks for residents?
To the Editor: Now that Hampton Jitney has received such generous tax breaks from the IDA to support their building project on Edwards Avenue, it would be a nice gesture on the part of the Jitney to create equity in their fare structure for Riverhead riders. Say I’m a Riverhead student and,...
-
Featured Letter: Sandy’s no excuse not to bag your leaves
To the Editor: The Town of Riverhead Highway Department is doing a great job and is still busy cleaning up fallen trees on its roads due to Hurricane Sandy. They still have a lot of work ahead of them to clean up trees left at curbsides by residential homeowners, which cannot be...
-
Featured Letter: PBS is an investment in our future
To the editor: I’m very troubled by what Mitt Romney said regarding Big Bird and PBS television no longer being funded in part by the federal government. I would like to know how much money in the past Romney, Obama, Ryan, Biden, Bishop and Altschuler have given to PBS, Big Bird...

Featured Letter: Riverhead Town workers spring into action
To the Editor: This past week a very inconsiderate person dropped off bags of garbage at the trash cans located around the South Jamesport boat ramp. Of course, the local seagull population immediately found the bag and ripped them apart, with trash spread over a very wide area. Walking my dogs, I saw...
-
Featured Letter: Reader comes to defense of Aquebogue puppy store
To the Editor: I usually read the letter section in the News Review. I was surprised to see a short letter that seemed to indicate a small business on Main Road in Aquebogue to be sub-standard. My previous dealings with the Puppy Experience seems to be quite the opposite. I hadn’t been...
-
Featured Letter: Keep up the good helicopter fight
To the Editor: It’s apparent that many North Fork residents are still getting bombarded with various aircraft noise. The newest helicopter regulation approved in August simply pushed the helicopter flight pattern farther east. All towns east of Manorville would be considered “transition” areas, which would permit pilots to cross to East Hampton...
-
Featured Letter: Should the News-Review ban letters on national issues?
To the Editor: I emphatically agree with the point made by Diana Van Buren in her letter last week regarding letters to the editor about national politics. I read the News-Review for local news and views on local issues. There are myriad places to tune into the discussion and shouting about Obama...

Featured Letter: Your money has been siphoned away
To the Editor: I almost choked on my caviar when I read the letter titled “Who’s serving whom?” which ran Aug. 23, 2012. Pointing out how inimical President Obama is toward the wealthy in our country. Truly, the wealthy are the noble but cursed descendants of Atlas, doomed to carry our country’s...
