Adam Webb

Adam Webb of Saratoga Springs and Hampton Bays died Saturday, June 11, in Juneau, Alaska from a hiking accident. He was 30.

Born in Hamilton on April 16, 1981, to Jerry and Elaine Webb, Mr. Webb was one to live life to the fullest with his curiosity and desire for understanding everybody and everything, his family said. He was always one to try new things that most people wouldn’t consider; from creating balloon animals to origami and lock picking, to name just a few. He was always one to be the center of attention no matter the group and he was able to touch many lives, family said.

Mr. Webb recently graduated from the University of Buffalo with a master’s in business administration and was committed to a tour with the Peace Corps in Africa, which can now never reach fruition.

To say he was loved would be a sparse comment on his spirit, his camaraderie and the enduring touch he left on those he knew, family said.

In addition to his parents who live in Hampton Bays, he is survived by his brother, Matthew Webb; aunts and uncles, Maurine and Jack Webb of Baldwinsville, Carol and Jeff Webb of Camden, Melba and Charles Hopkins of Bohemia, and Robert Coyles of Plainview; cousins, Todd, James and Jason Webb of Baldwinsville, and Kelly, Cortney and Jena Webb of Camden; and his grandmother, Mary Coyles of Bohemia; and an extended family in Saratoga Springs, including the Fays and many very special friends.

A memorial service will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, at the United Methodist Church in Saratoga Springs, followed by a gathering in honor of his life at the Saratoga Boat House.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Saratoga Rowing Association—which played a very important role in Adam’s high school years—543 Union Avenue, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866.

Southampton Scored $19 Million Grant for Riverside Sewers

Southampton Town has been awarded a $19 million grant to help fund the construction of a sewer system and sewage treatment plant for Riverside — the cornerstone of the town’s decade-long drive for a sweeping revitalization of the blighted hamlet. The town recently won a lawsuit brought by Riverhead Town seeking to stop the Riverside sewer system, which will be able to treat the daily sewage from more than 700 new residences and hundreds of thousands of square feet of new commercial businesses. The first phase of the design and planing for the sewer system is complete and the town ... by Michael Wright

Stop the Hunger

Setting aside politics for a moment, the federal government shutdown, now in its fifth week, is having significant consequences.

The Congressional Budget Office says up to 750,000 federal workers are being furloughed or required to work without pay.

Expect Delays

Anyone who commutes east and west on the South Fork daily, or who needs goods or services that come by truck — so, really, everyone — endured several days of stress. New York State and Suffolk County officials were able to find a higher gear than normal to repair Sunrise Highway at the Shinneock Canal, which limited the pain, and for that they are to be commended. By now, everyone is aware: Heavy rains last week caused erosion along the bridge abutments on the northeast side of the canal. Two westbound lanes of the highway were closed for days, with ... by Editorial Board

Sachem Comes Back To Defeat Westhampton Beach on Final Hole of County Golf Tournament Semifinal

The Westhampton Beach golf team was primed to move on to the finals of the Section XI Team Tournament at Pine Hills Golf and Country Club in Manorville on Monday. The No. 2 Hurricanes led No. 3 Sachem by as many as seven shots in the morning semifinal round, but a fervent comeback by Sachem, particularly on the ninth and final hole of the round, wound up being the difference. Sachem trailed by one stroke going into that last hole but Sachem’s No. 6, senior Gavin Nerko, parred to score a 50 and gain two strokes, leading to a 6-3 ... by Drew Budd
