Kathleen Loraine Kelly of Montauk and Manhasset and Francis Joseph Hurley of Ridgefield, Conn., were married on June 18 at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk. They celebrated afterward at the Montauk Lake Club. Msgr. Kieran Harrington of the Diocese of Brooklyn officiated.

The bride grew up spending summers in Montauk with her extended family and friends. Her grandfathers and uncle have a pew and stained glass named for them in St. Therese. The couple became engaged on the ocean beach at Kirk Park in that hamlet, making it “important to celebrate their wedding in Montauk,” the bride wrote.

The bride’s parents are Gail and Brian Kelly of Montauk. Mr. Hurley is the son of Kathleen and Robert Hurley of Manhattan. They both graduated from Villanova University, where they met, and both work in finance in New York.

Anna Elizabeth Simonds and Michael Robert Glennon were married on June 27 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton. The Rev. Denis Brunelle officiated, and a reception followed at the historic Mulford Farm just down the street from the church.

The bride is a daughter of Christina Chase Simonds of East Hampton and Lancaster, Pa., and Christopher L. Simonds of Wyoming. A fourth-generation East Hamptoner, she counts the founder of the Maidstone Club, Philip Ruxton, its former president, A. Wallace Chauncey, and a former village mayor, William C. Heppenheimer, among her local ancestors.

Mr. Glennon is the son of Robert Glennon of Arlington, Va., and the late Helen Glennon.

They both graduated from the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Conn., which is where they met. The bride, who is now a teacher, went on to Connecticut College in New London and the Relay Graduate School of Education in New York City.

Mr. Glennon graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and earned an M.B.A. from Columbia University. He works for Marakon, an investment firm in New York.

The maid of honor was the bride’s sister, Natalie Chase Simonds of Manhattan. Ms. Glennon was also attended by Katarina Kazickas of East Hampton and New Jersey, Chelsea Laverack of East Hampton and Connecticut, Perry Hathaway of Connecticut and New York City, Catherine Caruso of New York City, and Courtney Edwards and Samantha Yates, both of East Hampton and New York City.

Mr. Glennon’s best man was Samuel Heilakka of New York City. His groomsmen were the bride’s brother, William Chauncey Simonds of East Hampton and Boston, and Gregory Gartin, Scott Clifford, Andrew Langer, Stephan Mills, and Matthew Schrimpf, all of New York City.

After a honeymoon to Tanzania, Maldives, and Dubai, they will return home to 19th Street in Manhattan.

Building political will for a livable world is a work in progress, according to Don Matheson, a builder who lives in East Hampton, but if his observations from last week’s international conference of Citizens Climate Lobby are accurate, that undertaking is nearing a tipping point.

At its sixth annual conference in Washington, D.C., some 800 members of the group, which advocates the phased-in imposition of a fee on fossil fuels that would be rebated in full to households, called on members of Congress to find common ground. Members of C.C.L. also heard from speakers including James Hansen, a professor at Columbia University’s Earth Institute and the former director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and Katherine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist and co-author, with her husband, a pastor, of “A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-Based Decisions.”

Mr. Matheson, who helped to establish C.C.L.’s eastern Long Island chapter, was one of about 10 members from Long Island to attend the conference. They visited all four members of Congress who represent Long Island, including Lee Zeldin of the First District, which includes East Hampton Town.

C.C.L., Mr. Matheson said, “is growing by leaps and bounds. What five years ago was a few hundred people is now 16,500. Popular support is growing, citizen awareness is growing, and as a result, Congressional willingness to listen is growing on both sides of the aisle.” Members of Congress, he said, “were far more receptive this year. There’s a turning point that seems to be happening.”

The group’s emphasis on cultivating positive relationships may be responsible for its growing influence. Last year, it released a study from Regional Economic Models Inc. concluding that over 20 years, a steadily rising fee on carbon-based fuels, with the revenue returned to households, would result in the addition of 2.8 million jobs to the U.S. economy, the avoidance of 230,000 premature deaths, and carbon dioxide emissions 50 percent below 1990 levels.

The group advocates a fee starting at $10 per ton of carbon dioxide and rising $10 per ton each year. Such a fee would assess the “true social costs” of fossil fuels, proponents say, driving a transition to a domestic-energy economy and stimulating investment in alternative-energy technologies, while providing an incentive for businesses to use energy more efficiently.

The media often paints the proposed fee as a choice between a strong economy and climate-change action, which is false, said Ashley Hunt-Martorano, C.C.L’s director of marketing and events and former co-leader of its Long Island chapter. “There are studies that show acting on climate change will improve our economy,” she said.

“We try to speak about what’s important to [legislators],” said Ms. Hunt-Martorano, who previously advocated for solar and wind energy at the East Hampton-based Renewable Energy Long Island. “In some offices of districts located where oil and gas are big, we talk about public health, air pollution. Those conversations are continuing to evolve, only because we come from a perspective of appreciation for public service. There’s a continuing effort to keep an open dialogue.”

Ms. Hunt-Martorano credited Ms. Hayhoe, an evangelical Christian, for a new perspective that helped her overcome the frustration born of climate-change denial. “You have to meet people where they are,” she said. “There is a lot of resistance to climate change, because the solution suggests we have to change our way of life or our economy is going to tank. Because they are coming at it from a place of fear, if you come from another place of fear — ‘We’re all doomed’ — that’s going to shut them down.”

Ms. Hayhoe, she said, “is coming from a place of love. Now that I’ve been working for Citizens Climate Lobby for so long, I’ve adopted that, and it’s changed my perspective on life.”

Such is the commitment of the C.C.L. members, who came from as far as Alaska and Hawaii to attend the conference and paid their own transportation and lodging expenses. “The congressmen tell us they don’t hear much about climate change from constituents, despite the fact that more than 50 percent of people on Long Island believe in manmade climate change and that something should be done,” Mr. Matheson said. “Staff members tell us they equate one handwritten letter to 1,000 constituent opinions. People should be aware that communicating with their congressman is very, very important.”

Mr. Matheson will lead the eastern Long Island chapter’s next meeting, on July 11 at 10 a.m. at the Amagansett Library. “We have to continue to work as hard as we can,” he said. “It’s a race between ‘when will we seriously begin to address the issue’ versus ‘when will the worst effects of climate change begin to accelerate.’ It’s going to get a lot worse if we don’t start doing something quickly.”

The East Hampton Village Board formally adopted a budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year at its meeting on Friday. At $20.68 million, the budget is slightly higher than the $20.53 million proposal unveiled last month and includes a tax levy increase of .3 percent, well under the property tax cap. The fiscal year begins on Aug. 1.

Rebecca Molinaro, the village administrator, detailed “minor changes” to the original plan, among them funding to extend the paid emergency services program so that a first responder can be on staff around the clock seven days a week. Other changes include a small addition to the $128,000 increase already proposed for ambulance services; the addition of $40,000 to repair the drainage system in the Emergency Services Building’s parking lot, and a minor increase in the snow removal budget. Last winter’s snowfall “well exceeded the budget,” Ms. Molinaro said.

Along with the tax levy increase, to $28.52 per $100 of assessed value, increases in building permit revenues, beach parking permits, and the mortgage-recording tax are expected to boost non-property tax revenue. The village will also save money by having some maintenance work performed in-house, rather than contracting with an outside company. The refinancing of two bonds also reduced long-term debt.

The village board will hold an organizational meeting on Wednesday at 11 a.m. After that meeting, it will not convene again until August.

The 250-acre New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, a beauty to be admired for its clipped hedges, maze-like grounds, and ornate trees, also functions as a breeder of biodiversity, and Todd Forrest, its vice president of horticulture and living collections, will be at the East Hampton Library on Saturday to discuss how its projects can motivate homeowners here.

Mr. Forrest will focus on two of the garden’s projects over the past decade dedicated to preserving and promoting native biodiversity: the old-growth forest and the native plant garden. He will tell gardeners how to increase their own biodiversity to help attract pollinators and butterflies and will give advice on restoring a natural area and incorporating plants that will stimulate the garden.

“I hope to inspire people to do similar things on Long Island where they live,” he said this week.

Janet Ross, an artist, will host the talk. Her aerial painting of the botanical garden’s famed Enid Haupt Conservatory is on exhibit there.

The event, which will begin at 4 p.m. with a wine reception, will be followed by a question-and-answer session. Admission is free.

An attorney who made several visits to the East Hampton Village Zoning Board of Appeals last year on behalf of the installation of 12 AT&T antennas at the P.C. Schenck and Sons facility off Newtown Lane, was back before the board on Friday.

Once again, John Huber of Nielson, Huber & Coughlin was seeking a permit to install equipment for AT&T’s wireless service. This time, the equipment is an air-conditioning unit along the rear wall of the East Hampton Presbyterian Church, where antennas and ground-based equipment of multiple cellphone providers have been situated since 2004.

Unlike the prior application, which  concerned neighbors because antennas were to be welded to Schenck’s 180,000-gallon oil tank and where noise would be generated, this  application provoked little discussion, though one nearby property owner addressed the board before the hearing was closed.

The unit, Mr. Huber said, would be installed on a vacant patch of grass and be “visually consistent if not identical in size to other units” on the property.

“It’s getting very equipment-oriented back there,” said Lys Marigold, the board’s vice chairwoman, presiding in the absence of Frank Newbold, the chairman. “I understand,” Mr. Huber said, noting that the village’s design review board would render a final decision after the zoning board’s determination.

 Mr. Huber also said “intensive review” had  found no potential noise disturbance to neighbors. A level of 78 to 82 decibels would be audible at the unit, he said, but that would drop to 45 decibels, consistent with ambient sound, at 78 feet. At the nearest house, 159 feet from the proposed unit, Mr. Huber estimated a 30-decibel level, which he likened to “a quiet rural area, the environment you’d like to maintain.” Further, he said, the church’s Session House would act as a buffer.

Fred Kneip of 126 Main Street did not object to the proposal, but urged the board to  give special attention to the “sound issue,” particularly at night. “Whatever can be done to mitigate any external noise would be greatly appreciated,” he said.

A determination is expected at the board’s next meeting, on Friday, June 26.

The board also announced three decisions. David Zaslav, president of Discovery Communications, and his wife, Pam, were granted coastal erosion hazard area and dune setback variances to allow renovations and additions to the existing residence at 26 Drew Lane, along with demolition of an existing pool house, construction of a new garage-storage-pool house, installation of a new septic system and an expanded driveway, drainage structures, stairways, and landscaping. The hearing had stretched across several of the board’s meetings and drawn scrutiny from a consultant to the village. Jerry Della Femina was the former owner of the property.

The board attached conditions to the permits, which basically require  the applicant to show that the work is in keeping with the decision as it proceeds.

David Topper and Margaret Segal of 6 LaForest Lane, on Georgica Pond, were granted a freshwater wetlands permit to allow the removal of phragmites and other invasive plants from wetlands and their replacement with native vegetation.

Jenny Ljungberg was granted variances to allow the construction of a full basement beneath an existing two-car garage at 211 Main Street. The pre-existing garage is within required side and rear-yard setbacks.

Durham Washburn Finney and Sarah Elizabeth Yagerman of Manhattan were married at Camp Hero State Park in Montauk on Sunday. The bride’s father, the Rev. Steven Jay Yagerman of New York, an Episcopal minister, officiated.

Montauk Point is a “sentimental location for both the bride and groom,” the bride wrote. Her new husband is from East Hampton, and her father was a minister at St. Thomas Episcopal Chapel in Amagansett for many years.

A reception followed at Montauk Downs.

The bride’s mother is Katherine Simmons of Indianapolis. Mr. Finney is the son of Linda Finney of East Hampton and the late Paul Finney.

The couple met in 2008 at Lucky Jack’s Bar on Orchard Street in Manhattan, while in the company of their best friends. “Being two native New Yorkers, in addition to their love of food, friends, sports, and humor, it seemed their union was inevitable,” the bride wrote. Mr. Finney proposed six years later on Christmas Eve.

The bride, who will keep her last name, is an intern at New York University’s Langone Medical Center and will begin her residency in dermatology in July. She graduated from Cornell University and earned a medical degree from the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.

Mr. Finney earned a bachelor’s degree from Boston University and is pursuing an M.B.A. at Fordham University. He is an accountant with Glenview Capital.

Dr. Yagerman’s maid of honor was Suzanne Brancaccio of Manhattan. The best man was Christophe Hascoat of Brooklyn.

In spite of her grief, an Amagansett mother who lost her son to a drug overdose is finding solace, even if fleeting, through helping others in her son’s name.

“I don’t want to feel paralyzed,” said Jacqui Sedlar Leader as she retold her son’s story. Pascal Leader, a good-looking, popular surfer and artist known as Sax, lost his life to a deadly cocktail of methadone and prescription drugs in his New York City apartment on Nov. 30, 2013. He was just 25.

The Sax Leader Foundation will be the beneficiary of an event dubbed Stir It Up at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett on Tuesday. Money raised will pay for the treatment of a young member of the community who wants help battling addiction. Stir-fry will be served, and the Nancy Atlas Project will perform. The benefit, which will be held from 7 to 9:30 p.m., was inspired by Mr. Leader’s dream to open his own authentic stir-fry “shack,” his mother said.

After graduating from East Hampton High School, he took part in a National Outdoor Leadership School program in Baja, Mexico, where he learned to cook for himself and fellow campers. On a pan over a self-made fire, he found a new talent; making delicious stir-fry, his mother said.

“I wanted to do it because you feel so lost. Nothing really means a whole heck of a lot to me right now — my grandchildren do, Kira [her daughter], my husband,” Ms. Leader said. “When he died, a big fat chunk of me died. Especially with drug overdoses, you think, what more could I have done?”

Ms. Leader is channeling her energy into trying to find meaning in her son’s tragedy by helping others battling addiction. The foundation will pay for treatment for a person who is serious about getting help, she said. Rehabilitation facilities easily costs thousands of dollars. The first fund-raiser, held last summer, was enough to help one young woman addicted to heroin.

Ms. Leader has reached out to the local high schools to offer assistance, and works with those involved in other local organizations reaching young people struggling with dependencies and mental illness.

Diane McNally and Tim Miller of East Hampton have announced the engagement of their son, Adam Mamay, to Stephanie Clark. Ms. Clark is the daughter of Joyce and Larry Clark of Jasper, N.Y. The couple met while attending Alfred State College and live in East Hampton. A wedding date has not been set.

The League of Women Voters of the Hamptons will present the Amazing Amagansett Adventure, a history and art tour, on Wednesday.

The day will begin at 11 a.m. with a tour of the East Hampton Town Marine Museum on Bluff Road. A tour of the East End Classic Boat Society’s Community Boat Shop, located behind the Marine Museum, follows at noon. At 12:20, Isabel Carmichael will speak at and about the Amagansett Life-Saving and Coast Guard Station, which is just around the corner on Atlantic Avenue. Her family moved the station and lived in it for many years before donating it to the town, which moved it back to its original site. The station played a small but significant role in America’s involvement in World War II.

A catered lunch at the Art Barge, at 110 Napeague Meadow Road, is set for 1 p.m., followed by a talk and tour led by Christopher Kohan, president of the Art Barge board. Mr. Kohan will talk about Victor D’Amico, founder of the Art Barge and a founding director of the education department at the Museum of Modern Art. Participants can then choose between a 2:30 tour of the Victor and Mabel D’Amico House at Lazy Point or a stroll and shop on Amagansett Main Street.

Those taking part in the Amazing Amagansett Adventure have been asked to mail a check in the amount of $40 made out to the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons to Gladys Remler, L.W.V. special events co-chairwoman, 180 Melody Court, Eastport 11941, or to call her at 288-9021. Checks should be mailed by tomorrow.

Registrants who include an email address will receive an itinerary of the day including directions. Maps will be provided, and carpooling has been encouraged.
