Good Morning!

• Southampton Town has unanimously approved the much-debated Sandy Hollow Cove workforce housing project in Tuckahoe, creating the first affordable rental housing complex in Southampton east of the Shinnecock Canal. The Beacon’s full story is online here.

• Peconic Landing in Greenport is hosting a film screening and Q&A with filmmaker Amei Wallach on her new film, “Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Enter Here,” at 7:30 p.m. tonight in their main auditorium. The film follows North Fork resident and world-famous artist Ilya Kabakov – two decades after he fled the Soviet Union – as he overcomes his fears to install six walk-through installations in venues throughout Moscow where once he was forbidden to exhibit his work.

• Peconic Estuary Program Director Alison Branco will discuss the environmental challenges facing the Peconic Estuary, the role the Peconic Estuary Program plays in solving them, and plans to expand the program and re-kindle local participation at a special lecture hosted by the North Fork Audubon Society tonight at 7 p.m. at the Southold Town Peconic Lane Community Center in Peconic.

• Weather permitting, local teen bands from all over Southampton Township will rock the Ponquogue Beach on Dune Road in Hampton Bays tonight at 8 p.m.(rain date June 20) in Southampton Town’s annual Battle of the Bands. We’ll provide updated information if it is cancelled. For more information, contact the Southampton Town Youth Bureau at 631.702.2432.
