With student safety in mind — and an eye on a conflict with an annual milestone event — the East Hampton School Board on Tuesday rejected a contract with the Suffolk County Board of Elections that would have allowed the John M. Marshall Elementary School to be used as a polling site for the June 25 local primaries.
Two candidates running for the Amagansett School Board this year finished in a tie, and a runoff vote to decide which one will serve the longer term will be held on Tuesday, June 25. The date coincides with the state primary vote for local elections.
Concerned Citizens of Montauk has made an urgent request for money to help pay for a trial project to improve water quality in Fort Pond.
In Montauk last Thursday, a man threw rocks at a 1997 Ford pickup truck, shattering the windshield, East Hampton Town police said. Craig L. Carman, 59, who lives in the hamlet, was charged with criminal mischief in the third degree, a felony.
Mr. Carman also took two animal horns from the truck’s grille, according to the report. The value of the damage to the truck and the value of the horns totaled $750.
East Hampton Town Justice Steven Tekulsky released Mr. Carman on $800
bail after arraignment the next morning.
