A buy-a-brick campaign has been started to help defray the cost of creating the John L. Behan Memorial Park on the corner of Flamingo Avenue and West Lake Drive in Montauk.
Bricks cost $125 to $175 and can be personalized with names or messages. Marilyn Behan has details at [email protected] or 631-848-2368.
It is hoped that the park will be completed by Veterans Day, which was also Mr. Behan's birthday.
This photo from The Star’s archive shows a two-horse-powered threshing machine at the Water Mill farm of Charles E. Halsey in 1897. On Saturday, a panel discussion, “Returning to Our Roots: East Hampton’s New Farms,” comes to the library.
Just shy of his 85th birthday, Dick Monahan, a lifeguard at Kirk Park in Montauk, will hang up his whistle at the end of this season.
