UPDATE: Incumbents Win, No Surprises in Fire Commissioner Elections

The four men who were didn't have any trouble winning re-election on Tuesday night. They have all been elected to five year terms.

As in most uncontested elections on the South Fork, voter turnout was extremely low. But, in Bridgehampton, 50 people came out to cast a ballot for a single man. Fred Wilford was re-elected to serve his fifth term. A 20 year member of the board of fire commissioners, he also is a 33 year member of the Sagaponack School District.

In Montauk, a newcomer was elected. Vincent Carillo, a longtime resident and business owner, received 37 of the 44 votes cast.

Terri Czeczotka, the district secretary-treasurer, said one ballot was spoiled, while four others, including Carillo's sister-in-law, were written-in. Jaime Carillo actually receives at least one vote a year, Czeczotka said. Chief Robert Gosman, Mike Mirros, and Richard Cannon also received one vote each.

Carillo will serve along with Ed Sullivan, Joseph Dryer, Carmine Marino, and Dick White. Tom Dess, the current chairman, had decided not to seek reelection.

Carl Hamilton was re-elected for a fourth term to the Amagansett Fire District Board of Commissioners. Terri O'Riorden, the district secretary, said Hamilton received 22 votes. Bruce Stonemetz, who is already on the board and was not up for reelection, received two votes, making for a total of 24 voters. Hamilton will serve another five years.

Over in Springs, Patrick Glennon was re-elected for a second term. Dana Miller, the district secretary, said that 31 votes were cast, 29 of them going to Glennon. David King received one vote and Glenn Barker received another.
