For Betty Mazur

Wed, 06/01/2022 - 17:45

A memorial service for Betty Mazur, a former chairwoman of the East Hampton Town Democratic Committee who died last summer, will be held on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at her favorite place, the ocean beach between Clinton Academy Lane and Treasure Island Drive in Amagansett.

A constant presence in South Fork politics, Ms. Mazur died on June 16, 2021, at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital during a scheduled procedure. She was 90.

The memorial service will happen rain or shine. Those planning to attend have been asked to park at the Atlantic Avenue Beach parking lot and walk east on the beach to the area between 5A and 6A.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
