East Hampton Town police are canvassing downtown Montauk after new antisemitic graffiti was discovered Saturday morning on the side of Bounce Beach Montauk on South Emerson Street. 

After an anonymous phone call tipped off the town's director of ordinance enforcement that the façade at Rowdy Hall's new location in Amagansett had been painted black on Wednesday, just weeks after East Hampton Town's architectural review board had turned down a request to do so, the business was issued a stop-work order and a violation for not having a building permit. "They said it was primer. Doesn't matter. They got a ticket for no A.R.B. approval and another for having no building permit."

Last November I landed one bushel of scallops on opening day in and around Shelter Island Sound. The next day, however, I struggled to land barely a quarter bushel. East Hampton Town waters will open to scalloping in two weeks.

Events in East Hampton and Montauk will mark Veterans Day on Saturday.
