LETTERS TO THE EDITOR thAnKS dear dan, We want to thank you for the wonderful bag of beach toys that we received for our kite that looked like a cow. We named him Brogan (funny—that’s the same name of our Nana and Papa’s dog!) We are carrying our gift bag around the house and won’t let it out of our sight. We had a great time at Sagg Main Beach. Thank you for choosing our kite and having the kite flying party. Ella & Nathaniel Landis, Age 3 New York
A snapping turtle; a box turtle
We love this event.—DR oh SnAP! dear dan, Dan’s photo illustration for “He Has Rights, What’s Being Done to Snapping Turtles on the East End Has Got to Stop” is of a box turtle; it should have been of a snapping turtle. For people who hold on to their prejudices about snapping turtles no matter the logic presented to them, your using a photo of a box turtle to illustrate a snapping turtle further endangers our already declining population of box turtles by those who may take out their prejudices on the box turtle. Dan’s and Mr. Sneiv: Stop—the next time, before publishing a story on wildlife, consult an organization
like the South Fork Natural History Society to avoid embarrassing yourself and to protect wildlife. That baby swan would have grown up to bully native ducks from their nesting places, just like its swan parents and predecessors have done ever since the early 1900s when the mute swan was imported from England. Check out the internet to learn the environmental harm done by swans. The snapping turtle did its job. Jean Held Sag Harbor A staffer erroneously put in an image of the wrong turtle—so sorry I didn’t catch it before we went to press. For the public’s edification, here’s a photo of a possible swan-eater and a Box Turtle.—SD
the end dear dan, Thank you so, so much for shedding some light on the truth about The Panoramic View in Montauk. In 1974, when I was 16, my parents rented one of the three Panoramic cottages on the ocean for my younger five brothers and sisters and me to spend a week in Montauk driving in west from Sayville. We had such a great time and continued to go there, even during the off-season, because it was so beautiful. The French’s kept it simple, unpretentious, and quaint, and it was a hidden diamond in the rough, brushy, Montauk hillside on the ocean. In 1979 when I was 21, I spent my honeymoon there. In 2004, my youngest brother and his new wife spent their weekend “mini-moon” there, and all the years in between we all kept going there. The little kitchenettes, outdoor cottage pathways, flower gardens, birds, and ocean views were so peaceful, pretty, and relaxing. My best memories are those spent in the simple out east towns of Montauk and Amagansett. Those kinds of places are rare now, and the days of going out east to an open and sparse landscape setting are almost gone. So it was really nice that you took the time to write that article showing the other side of the situation. Sincerely yours, Kathleen Keane Email your letters to askdan@danspapers.com
