Ross Lilley delivered the Takamine acoustic guitar to Mr. Bauman while he was recovering from his wounds at Boston Medical Center. “He truly loved the guitar and it made him smile, big time,” Mr. Lilley reported. The gift idea was thought up by musician Bryan Downey and purchased at Crossroads Music in Amagansett.

More than 1,000 businesses and homes lost power in Southampton Village on the Fourth of July.

According to the PSEG Long Island website, a power outage affected customers throughout a large section the village from Hill Street to Southampton Hospital on Tuesday.

Shortly after noon, a stray Mylar balloon was let loose from nearby holiday celebrations and became caught in a transformer on Jobs Lane, causing the transformer to blow, according to Southampton Village Police Lieutenant Chris Wetter.

Traffic lights throughout the village, including the Windmill Lane and Nugent Street light, as well as the signal at the North Sea Road intersection were out as of 12:45 p.m.

Southampton Hospital was not affected by the outage, officials said.

It was unclear how long the power would remain off.
