At #3,
The Last Thing He Told Me (Reese’s Book Club) is Laura Dave’s “suspenseful latest,” per our review, in which “a Bay Area woman copes with her husband’s sudden disappearance.”
Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead, the Read with Jenna pick and #13 on the list, is “a breathtaking epic of a female aviator,” our starred review said, and “a stunning feat.” Its narratives follow Marian, a WWII pilot whose attempted circumnavigation of the globe is presumed to have ended in her death; her artist twin sister, Jamie; and Hadley, the movie star cast to play Marian in a present-day film.
To the Editor:
Gardiner’s Bay Country Club (GBCC) seeks to construct for its seasonal workers: a 40-bed staff building and a second structure with four one-bedroom and two two-bedroom apartments, accommodating up to 64 people (see story, page 11). Given the AA Residential zoning, the Town Board would have to issue a special permit.
At the ZBA hearing on May 26 at 7:30 p.m., residents should urge that: (1) an independent consultant study any environmental risks involved; and (2) if the expansion is found not to impose undue risks, the Board condition any approvals on GBCC, such as: (a) setting aside some apartments at rates affordable for year-round Island workers, including town employees and EMS and Shelter Island Fire Department volunteers; and (b) following more environmentally friendly practices.
