Julie Kammerer Of Southampton Dies October 12

author on Oct 27, 2014

Julie Kammerer, a prominent Manhattan residential real estate broker with Kenneth Ives, Inc. and Douglas Elliman, who was widely known as much for her tireless charity work on behalf of several of the city’s major institutions and community services as for her impeccable taste, died on October 12 at Southampton Hospital after a long illness. She was 84.

Ms. Kammerer was born on July 25, 1930, the daughter of Paul and Agnes Kammerer. She graduated from Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart in New York. Survivors said she was witty and well-read, naturally sociable and the epitome of correctness. She also was a generous and loyal friend and a profoundly civic-minded woman, they said. Ms. Kammerer served as a board member of the Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering, the Bronx Zoo, the Girl Scouts of America and the Southampton Association. She was a former president of the Garden Club of Southampton and a former president of the New York Junior League.

She was a member of the Colony Club in New York, the Southampton Bathing Corporation, the Meadow Club and the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, as well as the Bath and Tennis Club and the Everglades Club in Palm Beach.

A funeral Mass was held for her on October 17 at the Basilica Parish of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in Southampton.

The Bus Test

Social media was abuzz last week with a report: An unmarked bus was dropping off adult men in the parking lot of the Macy’s shopping plaza in Hampton Bays. Speculation was rampant, and it largely followed a national narrative about an “invasion” of immigrants ending up in American communities. In fact, there’s little information on what the bus (or buses — there likely were others) was doing. It might have been seasonal workers arriving for the season, but it could have been something innocuous, like a private bus trip returning home. Police were called, but as one town official pointed ... 1 May 2024 by Editorial Board

Terrible Optics

Westhampton Beach Village officials and Police Chief Steven McManus need a lesson in optics. The revelation last week that a body camera video recorded during the investigation of an off-duty Village Police officer who rolled his truck during a single-car accident in November 2021 was not released to the public for close to a year, despite numerous requests from The Press that went unanswered for seven months, sends the wrong signal about the village’s commitment to keeping the public informed. It was only after a request from an attorney on behalf of The Press that a copy of the video ... by Editorial Board

A Costly Hire

Permitting public employees to collect a six-figure pension while simultaneously collecting a six-figure salary is one of the reasons why New York is such a high-tax state. Though the Village of Southampton took it a step further: It wasn’t enough for the new village administrator to receive a $165,000 salary on top of a $120,000 New York Police Department pension — the Village Board just gave Administrator Anthony Carter a $50,000 pay bump, retroactive to when he started in November, in lieu of receiving village health insurance and other benefits. When a retiree already receiving taxpayer-funded health care goes back ... by Staff Writer

State Sets Aside Funding for Affordable Housing at College Campus

The State Legislature on April 22 approved Governor Kathy Hochul’s request for $600 million in funding for several affordable housing programs, including one that would permit the construction of such units on the Stony Brook Southampton campus. But the celebration has to be put on hold for now, according to Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., because a related bill that would authorize the actual expenditure of the allocated funds has yet to pass. Thiele said he was optimistic that authorization bill could be passed before the end of the session on June 6. “The legislature had a lot of questions,” ... by Stephen J. Kotz
