Steven Thomas LaHowchic

Steven Thomas LaHowchic of Southampton died on November 8. He was 57.

The son of Mary LaHowchic of Florida and the late Nicholas LaHowchic, he was a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, where he remained active in the alumni group.

Mr. LaHowchic operated a residential construction company in Southampton and created and coordinated the annual “CKR” Golf Outing—a benefit to help support scholarships for graduating high school students interested in trade schools. He coordinated this event for 10 years, and survivors said his efforts were much appreciated. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus and was an avid supporter of Human Resources of the Hamptons.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by two brothers and their wives, Michael and Maryann LaHowchic of New Jersey and Nicholas and Diane LaHowchic of Florida; two nieces, Tara Anne LaHowchic and Nicole Marie and husband Dan Plescia; nephew John Michael LaHowchic and his wife, Teresa Chikosky; three great-nephews, Luke, Dylan and John Michael; and a great-niece, Hallie.

The family received visitors on November 11 and November 12 at the Beaugard Funeral Home in River Edge, New Jersey. A funeral mass was held on November 13 at St. Joseph Church in Oradell, New Jersey. Interment followed at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Valhalla, New York.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Human Resources of the Hamptons, 168 Hill Street, Southampton, NY 11968 would be appreciated by the family.

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.
