A new separate zip code for Flanders, Riverside and Northampton is part of the 2017 version of the Postal Service Reform Act, which was introduced in the House by Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz, who visited Flanders with Rep. Zeldin in September.

A new bill that would create a separate zip code for the hamlets of Flanders, Riverside and Southampton is expected to be passed by the House tomorrow.

The chairman of the House committee that oversees the U.S. Postal Service came to Flanders yesterday at the request of Rep. Lee Zeldin to assure residents that he will work to get the area its own zip code, something they've sought for more than 15 years.

Rep. Lee Zeldin responded to the U.S. Postal Service's rejection of his request for a new zip code for the tri-hamlet area in the northwest corner of Southampton Town by seeking a legislative mandate, inserting a provision in the postal service reform act pending in the House that will require it.

Hope Day, now in its fifth year, was held simultaneously at 19 sites across Long Island, NYC and New Jersey, with Flanders being one of four sites in Suffolk.

Sr. Margaret Smyth of North Fork Hispanic Apostolate says the man who took the holiday lights and cords from the Flanders display is a 19-year-old who had a fight with his mother and left his home, located a short walk from the makeshift camp in the woods discovered by residents Saturday.
