Tree cutting crews took down two century-old American elm trees on either side of East Hampton Village's main intersection last week. The trees had been deteriorating in recent years and were becoming a hazard, the village said. The village and the Ladies Village Improvement Society are working on how to replace them with new trees. DOUG KUNTZ
