Virginia Backlund, a retired public health nurse (formerly Virginia King), celebrated her 100th birthday on Tuesday.
She moved to East Hampton in the 1940s. Former students may remember her as Mrs. King, who worked in many East End schools, from Mattituck on the North Fork to Montauk on the South Fork.
Tens of thousands of spectators are expected in Montauk on Sunday for the 64th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and out front will be Tom Grenci Jr., former police precinct commander and fire chief.
A budget crunch in Sag Harbor Village has officials looking to save money. One way could be by hiking the cost of resident parking stickers from $15 to $25.
The next No Kings rally, part of the ever-growing movement protesting the Trump administration, will happen on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. outside East Hampton Town Hall.
