James Consiglio and Colette Clancy of East Hampton have announced the engagement of their daughter, Phelan Clancy, to John Michael Klett, the son of Eileen and John Klett of Sparta, N.J. Ms. Clancy, a graduate of the Columbia School of Nursing, is a nurse practitioner in the underserved neighborhoods of New York City. Mr. Klett attended Pennsylvania State University and works as a digital operations manager at Intersection in New York City. They live in New York City.

The couple plan to wed on Sept. 23 at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton, with cocktails and a reception to follow at the Hedges Inn, also in East Hampton.

Nicholas Dana Flickinger and Ashley Marisa Glazer were married on June 17 at the Mansion at Timber Point in Great River on Great South Bay. Rabbi Paul Swerdlow officiated, the bride and groom recited their own wedding vows, and a reception followed.

The groom is a son of Catherine Raymond Flickinger and Burt Prentice Flickinger III of East Hampton and New York City. The bride, who will keep her name, is a daughter of Doreen Fischman of New York City and the late Dr. Howard Glazer. She graduated from the Ethical Culture Fieldston School and received a bachelor’s degree from Emory University in Atlanta. She is an associate buyer at Macy’s in Manhattan.

Mr. Flickinger is a second-grade teacher at Ethical Culture Fieldston and a master’s degree candidate at Hunter College. He graduated from the Trinity School in Manhattan and from Emory University.

Even though they had grown up just 10 blocks from each other in the city and had each spent time on David’s Lane in East Hampton Village while growing up — he at his parents’ house, she visiting close friends — they first met at Emory University when she was a freshman and he was just back from a junior year fall semester in Italy. The couple went to Italy on a wedding trip, visiting places he had loved while there — Amalfi, Capri, Rome, Tuscany, Florence, Venice, and Milan.

The bride’s sister Harley Glazer Raff of Summit, N.J., was the maid of honor. She was also attended by her sister Leslie Glazer Fineman of San Francisco, and by Claire Smilow of New York City and East Hampton, Chloe Sarnoff of New York City and Amagansett, Danielle Fuerth of New York City, and Jackie Pilcowitz of Detroit. The bride’s nephews Judah Raff and Ari Raff were flower boy and ringbearer, respectively.

Mr. Flinkinger’s brother, David Raymond Flickinger of New York, was the best man. His groomsmen were Michael Rohn of San Francisco, Jesse Adler of Hoboken, Evan Roberts of New York City, Marshall Johnson of New Canaan, Conn., and Josh Levin-Scherz of Boston.

The couple’s two dogs from the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons walked down the aisle with the attendants, wearing Lilly Pulitzer bow ties matching those of the males in the wedding party.

Three were vying for two Sag Harbor Village Board seats in Tuesday night's election, and just five votes separated the winner of the second seat from the third place finisher. 

Ken O’Donnell, the only incumbent running, was also the highest vote-getter, with 238 cast for him. His running mate, Thomas Gardella, the former Sag Harbor Fire Department chief, received 197 votes. That was not enough to win a seat on the board. That went to H. Aidan Corish, a political newcomer, who received 202 votes.

There were three write-in votes, one each for Jeff Peters, Thomas Schiavoni, and Chris Hubbard. 

The results were announced around 9:30 p.m., about a half-hour after the polls closed, when they were written on a board inside the meeting room at the Sag Harbor Firehouse. Mr. Gardella shook Mr. Corish's hand before leaving. 

Mr. Corish, the founder of a brand design firm, will replace Ed Deyermond on the board. Mr. Deyermond is stepping down at the end of the month. He said the win was very exciting. "It was very close, as you can see, and I'm delighted to be a part of the board. I'm looking forward to working with the board.  . . . I'm looking forward to working with the village and doing my very best for everybody that lives in Sag Harbor and calls Sag Harbor home."

Among his priorities, he said, is to reach out to the public and get more people involved in village government, as well as to focus on long-term planning. "We need to strategize for the village as to what Sag Harbor is going to be like in 2027."

Meanwhile, Village Mayor Sandra Schroeder was re-elected to a second term. She ran unopposed and received 276 votes. There were several write-in candidates, some of whom do not reside inside the village limits. 

Additionally, a proposition handily passed Tuesday night. Voters approved an increase to a state-approved benefit program known as LOSAP, which allows Fire Department volunteers to receive a financial incentive based on the number of years they have served once they reach retirement age. The vote was 316 to 38. 

Now, as of Jan. 1, 2018, volunteers that are at least 65 years old will receive $10 to $30 more per month depending on the number of years of service they have earned under the point system. This amendment will cost an additional $86,000 a year, an average cost of $521 per firefighter.

Peter Durst and Whitney Lucas were married in an intimate ceremony on May 20 at the Sunriver Resort in Bend, Ore. The bride’s brother, Reed Lucas, officiated.

The bride and groom are both from East Hampton, but live in Milwaukie, Ore. They will hold a reception in East Hampton in September. She is the daughter of Pam and David Lucas of Milwaukie. He is the son of Robin Kuntz of Springs and the late Peter Durst. His stepfather is Doug Kuntz of Springs.

The bride graduated from the State University at Albany and is a general manager of a restaurant in Milwaukie. Mr. Durst, who graduated from Hudson Valley Community College in Albany, is an automotive technician.

East Hampton Village is poised to expand Herrick Park, following an East Hampton Town Board public hearing last Thursday on the proposed purchase with community preservation fund money of three parcels, totaling 2.78 acres, at 14 and 16 Pleasant Lane and 25 Muchmore Lane. The latter parcel, which is .41 acres, is contiguous to the park and connects it to the Pleasant Lane properties. All three are zoned for residential use.

In a January letter to town officials, the village board asked the town to make the purchase. As with the town’s 2014 purchase of the Lion Gardiner home lot on James Lane, which also came at the urging of village officials, the village would have sole responsibility for the property.

The proposed acquisition would cost $4.6 million. Scott Wilson, the town’s director of land acquisition and management, said in an email yesterday that a resolution to acquire the land would be scheduled once the town’s Planning Department completes an environmental assessment form. A vote could come at the town board’s meeting next Thursday, he said.

In a letter to Supervisor Larry Cantwell and the town board before the public hearing, Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr. called the purchase “a unique opportunity” to acquire “sprawling open space, which has become extremely limited within village boundaries. . . . We strongly feel these parcels will be an excellent complement to our open space program.”

The acquisition was also important, the letter read, as the parcels are in the Hook Pond watershed. The village and town are working to mitigate water-quality degradation in bodies including Hook, Town, and Georgica Ponds.

The mayor said on Tuesday that rather than specific plans for the property, it would represent “a further manifestation with regard to the wonderful crown of the village,” a reference to the park. “It was the right thing to do, and the timing was correct, for folks that are here now and for future generations to enjoy the benefit of additional green space. We look at it as the passive extension of Herrick Park. We’re very happy to acquire the property, hopefully, and allow for its peaceful enjoyment by everyone.”

The Montauk Blessing of the Fleet, an annual tradition now in its 62nd year, will take place on Sunday by the Montauk inlet, with clergy posted near the town dock to bless those who work on and sail the local waters.

The ritual, which draws boats of all sizes and can be seen from just about anywhere in the harbor, is quite a spectacle. “It’s a lot of work to organize it, but it is well worth the effort,” said Capt. Frank Braddick, who has organized it for 27 years. Drawn to the event soon after arriving in Montauk, his passion for it remains steadfast.

“It truly is a solemn and special event and I’m so glad the tradition has continued for so long,” he reflected on a late Saturday afternoon following a daylong trip for striped bass. At 81, Captain Braddick still runs the Hurry-Up, a 43-foot charter boat, out of the Star Island Yacht Club.

In the off-season, starting in January, he spends hours upon hours preparing for the blessing, including filling out applications and paperwork for various permits with the Coast Guard, securing a boat for clergy and the families honoring those who died over the past 12 months, preparing advertising and promotional fliers, securing wreaths, and other miscellaneous details too numerous to mention.

“There is a lot of paperwork and beaurocracy involved, and it takes a lot of time,” he said. He took over the duties nearly three decades ago from Capt. Doug McCabe, who skippered the charter boat Frances Anne. “You have to really start many months in advance, but I still enjoy it. It’s also an incredible feeling to see the emotions of the families who lost loved ones during the wreath ceremony. It means a lot to them — and for me personally — that we take the time to remember them.”

This year’s Blessing of the Fleet begins at 5 p.m. After the blessing at the town dock, the armada of boats will slowly head out to Block Island Sound, near the bell buoy, to throw memorial wreaths into the water, honoring watermen and women in the community who died over the past year. On Sunday, wreaths will be placed in the water for Capts. Jay Rigano, Stret Whitting, Ken Bouse, Fritz Hubner, and Herbert Knoblach. The Ebb Tide is donating the use of the boat for the clergy and family members for the wreath service.

For many out on the water that day, the event has a celebratory tone, “But more importantly, it is a time to reflect, honor and remember those who we lost over the past year,” Captain Braddick said. “This is a very tight-knit community and fishing is such an important part of the fabric of Montauk.”

Capt. Joe McBride, who has known Captain Braddick for over 40 years, says that his friend takes a lot of pride in handling the event.

“Frank puts his heart into coordinating the blessing and he does an outstanding job,” said Captain McBride, who was the skipper of the charter boat My Mate for several decades before retiring a few years ago. “He does a lot of this himself too. I don’t think many realize how much he puts into this event. It’s not that easy.”

For Debbie Tuma, whose late father was Capt. Frank Tuma of the charter boat Dawn, the annual event is a mixture of happiness and sadness.

“I’ve attended over 50 of the blessings in my lifetime,” said Ms. Tuma. “It is a wonderful event for the entire Montauk community and lots of people, but I realized after witnessing so many wreath services for others who had passed away, I knew in the back of my mind that one day I would be laying a wreath in honor of my father. And when that day came, it was a very emotional and moving experience.”

She will join Captain Braddick on the Hurry-Up on Sunday. “The blessing means so much to him,” she said.

Capt. Tom Herlihy of the Herl’s Girl put it succinctly: “It’s his baby.”

Should your travels take you south of Montauk Highway, you no longer have to worry about detouring around the Sagg Bridge. After six months of work, the newly rehabilitated structure reopened on Monday. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Bridge Lane tomorrow at noon, with Sagaponack Village and state officials celebrating the completion of a project that sought to improve the bridge while keeping its rural character.

Built in 1923, the small country bridge over Sagg Pond, connecting Bridgehampton to Sagaponack, was indeed in need of structural repairs. But local officials railed against plans that would have widened it. After a lengthy battle, the village took ownership from the Town of Southampton.

The $1.2 million project received a boost from the state in the form of a $500,000 grant that Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. and State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle secured last summer. The village put up the rest out of a capital reserve fund.

Improvements included a new deck, repair to the causeway and seawall, new curbing and sidewalks, and a repaired railing. Rhodi Winchell, the village clerk-treasurer, said the work came in on budget.

The bridge and the boat ramp to it have been closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic since Nov. 14. The target completion date was May 15, to have the bridge open in time for Memorial Day weekend.

“Every now and again we have a special day where a village employee is going to be recognized. That’s going to happen today,” Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr. said at a brief East Hampton Village Board meeting on Friday.

Richard Lawler, a member of the board who serves as commissioner of the East Hampton Village Police Department, then joined the mayor at the lectern, announcing that P.J. Cantwell, a longtime dispatcher, would be promoted to supervisor. Michael Tracey, the acting chief of police, followed him.

Mr. Tracey said Mr. Cantwell had “excelled in his job due to his dedication and working on projects that go beyond his regular duties.” During 17 years as a village employee, Mr. Cantwell has been a role model and mentor for new dispatchers, he said, and was instrumental in the development of an in-house mapping system and mobile first responder app. “It’s been a great benefit,” he said.

The dispatch center, Mr. Tracey said, “plays an important role in this community, and since it is our primary 911 center for the entire Town of East Hampton going back to 1990, it’s a central part of public safety for all of us. I’m proud of the men and women of our dispatch center. . . . We know P.J. Cantwell will do well in his new role as a supervisor.”

The mayor then thanked all the dispatchers. “Many times you’re the unsung heroes, the first ones to take a call, and it’s how you mandate, dictate, and unravel the call that allows certain things to fall into place, so God bless you.”

Noting that it was National Police Week, Mr. Lawler said police, fire, and ambulance personnel “do a fantastic job in keeping our community safe” and “make a tremendous amount of sacrifices in doing so.”

In other news from the meeting, the board authorized the purchase of 8 Osborne Lane, a parcel at the corner of Newtown Lane and adjacent to the Long Island Rail Road tracks, for $989,000. The house there is to be demolished and the land used for parking. Additional parking, the mayor said, “is a critical need at all times. That should assist some of the commercial business activity that takes place on that portion of Newtown Lane.”

The board also authorized the Friends of Georgica Pond Foundation, a group that since last year has sponsored an effort to remove macroalgae from the pond with an aquatic weed harvester, to occasionally put the harvested material on village property at the end of Cove Hollow Road. Decaying macroalgae is believed to be among the contributing factors to the cyanobacteria blooms that have afflicted the pond in recent summers. The harvested material will remain at the Cove Hollow Road site for no more than a day before being taken to the town’s landfill, according to Sara Davison, the group’s executive director. The project is to start this month and conclude at the end of August.

The Sag Harbor School Board sent its vice president, Tommy John Schiavoni, to the village board meeting on Tuesday night to discuss the village’s recent ban on parking on streets near the schools. Mr. Schiavoni asked that the new ordinances, which affect parking near the schools, be reconsidered, and also that the two boards work together to solve school-related traffic issues.

Mr. Schiavoni told board members that school officials had not been aware of the regulations, which were passed in December, until last month, when they took effect. They ban parking on side streets near the village’s two schools during school hours, in hopes of opening streets and easing backup during drop-off and pickup. The village board acted after concluding that the school does not provide enough on-site parking for its staff.

Ed Deyermond of the village board, who lives near the schools, thanked Mr. Schiavoni for coming to the meeting after Mr. Schiavoni asked village officials to “workshop the situation” with the school. However, Mr. Deyermond added, he s has been discussing the traffic and parking issues around the schools since 2002 and had not seen much movement, except for a failed bond vote to purchase a neighboring property for a parking lot. “The workshop has not worked for me in the past,” he said.

“If there’s something to talk about, we’d be more than willing to listen. To sit down and drum up ideas . . . I’m sorry, I’m beyond that,” Mr. Deyermond concluded. Movement, he made clear, must begin with the school.

“I think we can do better,” Mr. Schiavoni said. “We have a lot of great ideas.” Since the new parking rules went into effect, parental attendance at the morning program is down, he said.

The problem will only continue to grow with the Sag Harbor School District’s purchase of the former Stella Maris School building on Division Street, part of a major thoroughfare through the village. The district plans to renovate it for future use. Mr. Schiavoni said a comprehensive village traffic study is in order.

Mr. Deyermond suggested that teachers might park at Mashashimuet Park and be bused to the school. “Works for Disney,” he said.

This was a good example, Mr. Schiavoni said, of why the two boards should continue to bat ideas around at workshops. Ken O’Donnell, a village board member, agreed there should be an open dialogue.

“If there are good, viable suggestions, we would be more than happy to work with you on that, but time here is short,” Mr. Deyermond said, making reference to the end of his term next month. He has said he is not seeking re-election.

Despite a dozen hearings on its agenda, the East Hampton Village Zoning Board of Appeals moved swiftly through its meeting on Friday, closing most hearings after the applicants had satisfied its concerns or requests.

The board’s effort to maintain the historical character of the village’s neighborhoods was underscored in a new hearing, in which the Corwin family of 25 Cooper Lane sought variances to alter and construct additions to the house and add a second story to a detached garage located in the front yard, where garages are prohibited.

The garage is 21.4 feet from the front-yard lot line, where the required setback is 35 feet. A variance is also needed to alter it, as the maximum floor area of accessory structures on the lot is 445 square feet and the garage is 513 square feet.

The other variances sought would result in a residence with 2,955 square feet of floor area. The current size of the house, which was built before the zoning code took effect, is 2,762 square feet; the present code permits a maximum of 2,226. Also, 3,100 square feet of lot coverage is sought, where the maximum permitted is 2,951. In addition, the applicants propose to lift the house, which falls within front and side-yard setbacks, in order to construct a new cellar.

Ingress to and egress from the habitable space proposed for the new cellar require the increase in floor area, said Trevor Darrell, an attorney representing the Corwins. “We fully recognize that the home as it sits, pre-existing, nonconforming, currently exceeds the permitted” floor area, he said. The applicants and their architect have done their best to minimize the increase, and the neighbor that would be most affected by the alterations has submitted a letter in support, Mr. Darrell said.

The existing garage has a flat roof; the applicants propose a gambrel roof with a peak of 18 feet at the center. “We acknowledge that . . . there are no other garages that sit in the front yard on Cooper,” Mr. Darrell said, but “the garage itself doesn’t sit forward of neighboring homes.” Its proposed alteration, he said, is meant to mirror the house.

“Of course, we all want to encourage young, growing families in the village,” said Frank Newbold, the board’s chairman. But, he continued, the zoning laws “were specifically formulated to push back against large houses on small lots in the village.” The proposed floor area is 32.7 percent more than is permitted on the .28-acre lot, Mr. Newbold said, and the garage and lot coverage both exceed what is permitted as well. “It’s getting very large,” he said.

Adding a second story to the garage for storage is understandable, he said, but “to have something that’s 18 feet tall within 20 feet of the sidewalk . . . compared to some of the other houses on the street, including directly across the street, it’s become a very substantial house.”

Board members agreed. “It’s too much on this small property,” said Larry Hillel.

Mr. Newbold asked that the architect, Paul Clinton, investigate “if there’s any way to accommodate reducing the visual mass from the street and still accomplishing what the family needs.” The mass from the street, he said, “is just getting out of scale for the lane.”

“I believe we have some work to do,” Mr. Darrell said. The hearing was left open and is to be continued at the board’s next meeting, on Friday, May 12.

Two determinations were announced. Juliana Terian was granted a variance allowing the replacement of a sunroom with a larger sunroom at 19 Lee Avenue. The alteration results in a total floor area of 9,699 square feet, where the current maximum is 8,190 square feet (the pre-existing maximum is 9,490). The board found that the expansion would not create a detriment to nearby properties or negatively affect the character of the neighborhood, as it will not be visible to neighbors or passers-by.

Under the same reasoning, the board granted the Tom A. Bernstein Residence Trust and Andrea E. Bernstein Residence Trust variances to allow the installation of two pool heaters within the side-yard setback at 18 Jones Road
