Meet the Candidates
On Wednesday at 7:30, the Noyac Civic Council will host a virtual Meet the Candidates night to give community members a chance to get to know the four people seeking seats on the Sag Harbor School Board.
Grainne Coen will be the only candidate officially on the May 17 ballot, as she was the only one to formally file a nominating petition. She will be joined by Ronald Reed, Janice D’Angelo, and Heather Hartstein, who are mounting write-in campaigns. Two board seats are open this year.
New Building to Rise at Dry Cleaner Site
Construction is under way at 106 Newtown Lane in East Hampton Village, where a new retail store, office space, and two-bedroom apartment are planned on the site of the former East Hampton Cleaners, which closed at the end of 2018.
Kudos for South Fork Papers
The East Hampton Star won awards for its East magazine and coverage of education in the New York Press Association’s 2021 Better Newspaper Contest, and its deputy managing editor, Christine Sampson, took third place in the writer of the year category.
The judges praised Ms. Sampson’s “ability to handle a variety of topics with comprehension and style,” and said her “work showed solid writing on a variety of assignments.” Annette Hinkle of The Sag Harbor Express took first in that category.
