Campaign Events As Election Season begins to ramp up, several candidates are hosting meet and greet opportunities for voters. This Friday at 5 PM (not last Friday, as mistakenly reported in last week’s Indy) the Republican Committee of East Hampton hosts an Irace for Town Justice beach party at the Maidstone Pavilion in Springs for supporters of Carl Irace and those who’d like to meet him. The event is free. On Saturday, East Hampton Democratic Campaign 2013 presents its major fundraising gala for town board candidates Larry Cantwell, Job Potter, and Kathee Burke-Gonzalez and the rest of the ticket. “Sunset in September” will be held at Woody House, the home of Katharine and William Rayner at the end of West End Avenue in East Hampton Village. Extensive formal gardens, rarely open to the public are set against views over both Georgica Pond and the ocean. 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Visit the East Hampton Democratic website ehdems.com for ticket information. On Monday, the FlandersRiverside-Northampton Community Association hosts Southampton Town trustee and superintendent of highway candidates at 8 PM at the Crohan Community Center on Flanders Road in Flanders. In Southampton, Brad Bender, the Democratic and Independence candidate for Southampton Town Board, invites all to an afternoon of “Wine & Roses” in his awardwinning Northampton rose garden. For $50 supporters will enjoy an open wine bar and assortment of passed appetizers on September 21 from 4 to 6 PM. East Hampton Democrats are holding a get together at Shagwong in Montauk on September 20 from 5 to 8 PM. Admission is just $5 and an Irish band will perform. K.M.

Dear East Hampton Voter There are five seats on the Town Board. Three votes are needed to pass a law. With Democrat Larry Cantwell running unopposed for Supervisor and two sitting Democrats already on the Town Board (who will remain on the Town Board for 2 more years), local Democrats are already assured of a working majority. In January, local Democrats will hold 3 of the 5 seats on the Town Board. If two additional Democrats are also elected this November, it will give the Democratic Party unchecked power over our community, including borrowing and spending. Remember the last time local Democrats had complete control was during the McGintee / Potter administration. Their unchecked power began and brought East Hampton to the brink of bankruptcy, spending money the town didn’t have, and raiding our Community Preservation fund to pay town expenses. The State of New York had to intervene to rescue the town’s finances and get the land preservation program back on track. On election day, don’t let history repeat itself. Re-elect Councilman Dominick Stanzione and Independent candidate Fred Overton. Dominick has proven himself to be a hard-working independent thinking person who is dedicated to serving East Hampton. A vote for Dominick is a vote for healthy, balanced government. Fred’s 24 years experience in town government and bi-partisan workmanship will serve us well. It’s the smart thing to do. Sincerely, Paul Scheerer, East Hampton Village John Kowalenko, Springs Peter Rana, Jr., Amagansett
