Late Night, No Light
Police reported the arrests this week of two people on charges of drunken driving.
Trouble at Shagwong Tavern
The St. Patrick's Day parade in Montauk on March 27 led to some alcohol-fueled, rowdy behavior, according to East Hampton Town police, who were called on two occasions to the Shagwong Tavern. One person there described the place as packed wall to wall with revelers, despite a $10 cover charge. In the end, a couple of arrests, and a separate charge of harassment, soured the festive mood.
South Fork Services for Holy Week
Local churches will hold services for Holy Week over the next several days.
Item of the Week: Nathan Tinker’s 1844 Pew Deed
In the 18th and 19th centuries, churches here allowed parishioners to rent or buy pews, often charging more for those closest to the pulpit. Pew deeds or titles could be passed down to heirs as families grew, but during the 20th century the practice disappeared.
