The St. Patrick's Day parade in Montauk on March 27 led to some alcohol-fueled, rowdy behavior, according to East Hampton Town police, who were called on two occasions to the Shagwong Tavern. One person there described the place as packed wall to wall with revelers, despite a $10 cover charge. In the end, a couple of arrests, and a separate charge of harassment, soured the festive mood.
Local churches will hold services for Holy Week over the next several days.

A funeral Mass for Margaret Adele Hannibal, a former Pantigo Road, East Hampton, resident, will be said on Tuesday at 11 a.m. at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton, with burial to follow at the church cemetery on Cedar Street.
