There will be a blood drive organized by the New York Blood Center on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Bridgehampton School gym. One lucky donor could win $1,500 worth of shopping at Walmart or Target, and second and third prizes will also be offered as part of the center's "thank-fall sweepstakes."
Walk-ins will be welcomed, but appointments are preferred by calling 1-800-933-BLOOD, visiting nycb.org, or contacting Marie Bouzos-Reilly at the school. The phone number is 631-537-0271.
The Rev. Benjamin (Chaps) Shambaugh, who serves in the Coast Guard’s Auxiliary Chaplain Support program, became the branch chief of the Coast Guard’s Atlantic Area East on Jan. 1. In that role, he will oversee chaplains who care for Coast Guard members and their families from Canada to the Caribbean and in Europe and other areas abroad.
While Captain Beebee’s headstone now sits pristine atop the hill next to the Old Whalers Church, the rest of the family’s six plots sit in disrepair. Recently, however, the museum received a $10,000 grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, which will allow for the restoration of the remaining headstones.
Looking ahead to the problem of summer traffic, David and Stacey Brodsky of Wainscott have a plan that they believe will alleviate the burden created by cars using some of the hamlet’s back roads to bypass Montauk Highway.
