After five months, the Village of Quogue has rendered a decision on the controversial application.
The Village of Quogue has denied an application submitted by the East End Eruv Association to install a religious boundary, known as an Eruv on telephone poles within the village. A five-page decision was posted on the village's website Friday afternoon following the meeting, including an introduction to the matter, citing previous court cases, and ultimately explaining why the village voted against accepting the application.

Residents feel the incident has triggered an unfair backlash against Latino communities.
The murder of a young Flanders woman by an undocumented Guatemalan man has ignited heated discourse over immigration -- and what some feel is unfair backlash against the Latino community. The focus, some believe, should remain on the crime -- not the defendant's country of origin or immigration status; others disagree. On Wednesday, Suffolk County homicide detectives arrested Guillermo Alfonso Alvarado-Ajcuc, 21, of Riverhead for the alleged murder of Mirian Garcia, 29. Alvarado-Ajcuc, a Guatemalan resident who is in the United States without a green card, was charged with one count of murder in the second degree and rape in the first degree. Garcia’s body was found in the wooded area near the Riverhead Department of Motor Vehicles on May…

Big difference between my ancestors coming here illegally, becoming legal, starting a business, working towards building a home and becoming the fabric of our Nation (and call themselves American with a ------- heritage) and those who come here to work and send money back to their Country.

La Lanterna, of East Quogue, is back for its second season.
East Quogue's La Lanterna will join other area businesses that have been busy readying for the 2012 summer season when it opens its doors at 5 p.m. Stephen Alegria says he is excited about his restaurant's second season and believes that this summer will help establish impressions of his seafood restaurant. "Since we've opened, we've been trying to define ourselves," said Alegria, who has a background in landscape design.

Alegria says he hopes the garden provides a more family-oriented atmosphere during the dinner hour while …
