The barn at the historic Duck Creek Farm on the corner of Three Mile Harbor and Squaw Roads in Springs has been restored after an 18-month process and will open to the public on Saturday with an exhibit of artwork by Sydney Albertini. In 2013, as part of the Parrish Art Museum’s Road Show, Ms. Albertini created a sculptural installation at the barn, prior to its restoration.

The barn, which is owned by East Hampton Town, was used by the painter John Little, one of the farm’s prior owners, as a studio. The property was once part of a 130-acre tract along Three Mile Harbor that was a homestead for the Edwards family dating to 1795. Three generations of Edwardses lived there before Mr. Little purchased a seven-acre piece of the land, which included the original Edwards farmhouse, in 1948. The abstract painter was a close friend of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, who lived on Fireplace Road, not far from the site.

Mr. Little bought a 19th-century barn from the Gardiner family and had it moved to the property for his studio. Later, he installed a loft apartment to accommodate visiting friends such as the artists Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline.

Eventually, the Little family sold the property to the fashion designer Helmut Lang, and the town purchased it in 2006 using the community preservation fund.

Under a recent agreement, the site will be operated as a community arts center by a group of local residents, under the auspices of Peconic Historic Preservation, a nonprofit group headed by Robert Strada of Amagansett. The barn and its grounds will be available for exhibits and other community programming.

The studio at Duck Creek Farm is the first historic restoration program to be completed with oversight by a town property management committee established in 2014 by Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc. The group is also overseeing restoration plans for the former Boys and Girls Harbor camp on the west side of Three Mile Harbor and for the 11-acre property on Neck Path in Springs that contains the house and studios of James Brooks and Charlotte Park, two other artists that were Little’s contemporaries.

Ms. Albertini’s exhibit of paintings on paper and sculpture will be on view at Duck Creek Farm through July 30. An opening reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. Parking for the Duck Creek site is available along Squaw Road.

Martin the seagull is missing.

It was about four years ago that Judy Smith, who has a house in Barnes Landing, noticed a seagull walking around on her deck and gave it something to eat. The seagull stuck around and visited Ms. Smith and her husband every weekend, loudly knocking its beak on their back window to say hello.

Then, about a month and a half ago, Martin disappeared.

From the start, Ms. Smith fed her seagull friend mostly Martin’s Potato Bread, for which she named the webbed-footed visitor. Martin continued to stop by regularly, visiting multiple times a day during the summer.

Ms. Smith developed affection for the bird, and he seemed to like her, too, sometimes eating directly out of her hand.

Martin usually took a long break from October to April, perhaps to migrate south for the winter. By September he looked very ragged, but in the spring he was beautiful, Ms. Smith said fondly, with his grey wings and snow-white underside.

While it may seem unlikely that a single seagull would continually visit one house, Ms. Smith feels quite certain that was the case. “Martin has a little red mark on his beak,” she explained, “and he has the same mannerisms.” Herring gulls tend to have a red spot on their bills, but Martin had other unique characteristics. He does not squawk, he is large, and he only comes alone, chasing other seagulls away if they get too close.

“About four to six weeks ago he didn’t tap on the back window or show up,” Ms. Smith said.

Martin is no Yogi Bob, the dog lost in Georgica in 2016 and almost miraculously reunited with its owner this year, but Ms. Smith is curious about the bold bird’s absence, wondering why he no longer visits and whether there might be a general decline in the seagull population on the South Fork this year. She visited the East Hampton Recycling Center, where there are usually hundreds of seagulls, and said there seemed to be fewer this year.

Martin “isn’t a dump-type bird,” she said.

Perhaps Martin will come knocking again soon, and Ms. Smith said she will have his potato bread ready.

The tiny house craze, a proliferation across the country of small dwellings on wheels, similar to recreational vehicles, could be brought to bear on a problem in East Hampton: the lack of affordable housing for seasonal workers.

Ryan Chadwick, a restaurateur and entrepreneur who runs the Grey Lady restaurant in Montauk, is working with other municipalities with seasonal tourism, such as Aspen, Colo., on the installation of mobile modular dwelling units that can be brought in to house workers when needed. A lack of affordable housing in resort towns such as Aspen and East Hampton is a problem both for workers and for business owners who need additional employees during the busy season.

Mr. Chadwick’s company, Kondo, is building a prototype modular small house on wheels, and he has been talking with East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell and other officials about a Montauk pilot program.

Housing could be placed on a half-acre piece of town property behind the public comfort station on West Lake Drive in Montauk, according to a discussion of the idea at a town board meeting on Tuesday.

Mr. Chadwick suggests installing six units, providing a total of 30 beds, on the half-acre property to start. However, he said, the site could eventually house 18 of the mobile house units, providing 90 beds for workers.

The units would be temporary and seasonal, and could be removed when not in use. “There is zero impact to the property itself,” said Mr. Chadwick, aside from landscaping that might be installed and the installation of utility lines. As in an R.V., septic waste would be contained and periodically pumped out and removed.

Constructed of building materials made from industrial hemp, a renewable resource, the small dwellings, which Mr. Chadwick described as a “houseboat on wheels,” would be energy efficient and use rain collection, water recycling, and smart technology systems.

Each two-story unit would have a full kitchen with a pull-down dining table, sofas with storage, closets on wheels, and sleeping lofts and bathrooms with full-height showers. The wheels would retract and be hidden when the units are parked. Two modules could be connected to create a larger configuration.

Local businesses would sign up with Kondo to lease a certain number of beds per season. The cost, Mr. Chadwick estimated, would be $150 to $200 per week per bed.

“I think at some point we have to try something like this,” Mr. Cantwell said on Tuesday. “There’s certainly an overwhelming demand for employee housing.”

The use of mobile units was one of several concepts presented to the town board by the town’s community housing opportunity fund and business committees as ways to create more seasonal work-force housing. In a recent memo, the committees also recommended that the board consider allowing businesses to rent or buy houses that are in commercial districts and use them to house up to eight workers, or a maximum of two per bedroom. The town code at present prohibits more than five unrelated people from living in one house. There are 96 houses in the town located in nonresidential districts.

Having businesses house employees on their own properties is another idea.

The committees suggested allowing any business, regardless of the constraints of its zoning district, to voluntarily construct on-site employee housing, as long as it conforms to other zoning and setback regulations and receives site-plan approval. The housing would not be considered an additional use of the property or an expansion of a business.

The board could also require motels, hotels, and other large businesses to add affordable seasonal employee housing when undertaking new construction or a major renovation, the committees suggested.

“Of all the options we discussed,” said Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, the tiny house model “is the most readily achievable.” And, he said, it would likely meet the least resistance from members of the community. Boat storage areas at marinas, which are emptied in summer of the vessels kept there through the winter, could also become locations for mobile modular houses, he suggested.

“Absolutely we have to do something of this nature,” said Bill Akin, a member of the Montauk Citizens Advisory Committee who heads the group’s subcommittee on seasonal housing. With the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, his group did a survey and found that local businesses were housing approximately 3,000 seasonal workers. That number does not account for employees who rent rooms from residents, commute from elsewhere, or are housed in “subpar conditions,” Mr. Akin said.

At the board’s request, town attorneys will look into the legalities of initiating a pilot program setting up seasonal mobile dwellings. “And,” said Mr. Cantwell, “we’ll go from there.”

“I went to Jamaica to help the poor and the poor ended up helping me.” Stephanie Crispinelli wrote in her journal a year before she died in the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti in 2010 and killed approximately 200,000 people. She was 19 years old.

Her roommate and best friend at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., was Sarina Peddy of East Hampton. They were sophomores at the time. Every January, students at the university are required to do community service. Ms. Peddy chose to do beach cleanup along the Florida coast while her friend chose to go to Haiti on what was called a Journey of Hope, which was a continuation of her 2009 trip to Jamaica and a collaboration with the organization Food for the Poor

On Jan. 8, 2010, four days before the earthquake, 12 students and faculty flew to Port-au-Prince. Only six made it back.

Ms. Peddy, who is now a substitute teacher at the Springs School, recalled the heart-rending emotions that followed the awful news. But she also described an ongoing and successful effort to honor her friend’s commitment to helping poor children, which has resulted in seven schools in Jamaica.

“There was minimal communication with Haiti after the earthquake so no one knew if she was alive or not. Then we got word she was alive and had made it back to the U.S.” Sadly, Ms. Peddy said, it turned out someone had found Stephanie’s passport in the rubble at her hotel and used it to get back to this country. Her remains were identified 26 days later.

“It was extremely difficult for me to go back to school,” Ms. Peddy said. “Lynn University’s enrollment is about 2,100 so classes are very small. I had to sit in classes with some of the survivors from that trip and that was very hard.”

It was the Crispinelli family of Somers, N.Y., who decided that one way to try to make sense of their daughter’s loss would be to continue her mission, which her mother, Lin Crispinelli, described as “making a difference in the world, one child at a time.”

Recovered among the young woman’s belongings at the devastated Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince was her journal. “There are too many kids going hungry in the world. I’ll keep coming back to help,” she wrote.

Six months after the earthquake, the Crispinelli clan, Ms. Peddy, and representatives of Food for the Poor, through which the Stephanie Crispinelli Humanitarian Fund was founded, traveled to Jamaica visiting orphanages where she had worked a year earlier.

 Their first school there — Steph’s Place 1 — was completed in four days. Despite this life-affirming accomplishment, Ms. Peddy remembered that her emotions were so raw and she was still too broken to feel much else than profound sadness over the loss of her friend.

The Crispinelli family has persevered and their daughter’s mission has continued. In the first six years, the Stephanie Crispinelli Humanitarian Fund built five schools in Jamaica and a house for a family living in intolerable conditions.

 Each July, in Westchester, the family holds a benefit and raises approximately $30,000 in order to return to the island with a team of volunteers and build a new school, each one known as Steph’s Place. The organization has grown to attract like-minded people from all over the country and the annual benefit now centers on a huge softball tournament with over 50 teams.

While Ms. Peddy helped through the years with fund-raising, it was only earlier this year — during the group’s seventh trip — that she decided it was time for her to be a hands-on participant. In April, she traveled to Jamaica with the Crispinellis and about 30 others to build a school for 75 students in Galina, a remote part of Jamaica, where no school had existed. It took four days to complete Steph’s Place 7, a 1,300-square-foot building, the biggest one yet.

Planning for next year’s school is underway. Stephanie’s Annual Family Fun Day will be held next Sunday at Reis Park in Somers, with raffles, free food, family-friendly games and activities, and the softball tournament.

“Now people who didn’t even know Stephanie are getting involved and helping,” Ms. Peddy said. “It’s exactly what Steph would have wanted to happen.” There is also a nice epilogue in the tragic story: Three years ago she introduced her best friend from East Hampton, Mylinh Nguyen, to Stephanie’s brother, Nick. They are still dating.

“This is a brand new day, with a brand new member of the board of trustees, the rookie,” Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr. said at the East Hampton Village Board’s organizational meeting yesterday. The so-called rookie is Arthur Graham, who was elected to the East Hampton Village Board last month and took a seat among his colleagues yesterday.

Mr. Graham, who is known as Tiger, defeated Philip O’Connell, who had been appointed to complete the term of Elbert Edwards following his death in October. After being sworn in, Mr. Graham paid tribute to Mr. O’Connell, who had previously served as a member and then chairman of the planning board. Mr. O’Connell has agreed to continue as the village’s representative on the town’s community preservation fund advisory board. “We’re happy that he’s willing to consider staying on in that capacity,” the mayor said.

Directing his remarks to Kathleen Cunningham, executive director of the Village Preservation Society of East Hampton, the mayor said a questionnaire will be mailed to village residents next week concerning deer. “It goes without saying that the over-burgeoning population of deer” presents “a public health hazard, public nuisance, and quality of life issue.” Based on the hoped-for response from residents, the village will decide on what its next effort to control deer should be. “We certainly want to work in partnership with the V.P.S.,” he told Ms. Cunningham. 

Also at its brief meeting, the board accepted Mr. Graham’s resignation from the planning board, of which he was chairman, but did not announce an appointment to take his   place. The board also reappointed the members of the design review board, zoning board of appeals, and the planning and ethics boards.

On other matters, the board approved a two-year agreement with the United States Geological Survey for extensive water quality monitoring and testing services at Hook Pond, which will cost $97,650. At a meeting last month, Rebecca Hansen, the village administrator, had described the federal agency’s plans to monitor six locations in the pond to help identify needed remediation.

The agency will gather data on chlorophyll, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous in the locations, which it has identified as “hot spots,” Ms. Hansen said. Agency representatives will meet with village officials on a quarterly basis to share their findings and will deliver a final report at the contract’s expiration. The agency will also install a telemetry device that will sample and record the water level and temperature in the pond every 15 minutes, similar to a buoy in Georgica Pond.

The board set two public hearings for its July 31 meeting. One is on a proposed change in the zoning code that would amend the definition of gross floor area; the other would amend the code to prohibit parking at all times on the east side of North Main Street between the intersection of Main Street and the railroad trestle.

Barbara Borsack, a trustee who also is an emergency medical services volunteer, thanked emergency services and Highway Department personnel for their work over the four-day Independence Day weekend. “Everybody does a great job over these busy holiday weekends,” she said.

The East Hampton Village branch of People's United Bank, which had been slated to close in September, will remain open, the bank announced this week.

Customer feedback was the deciding factor, Howard Bluver, the New York market president for People's United, said by phone on Friday. Mr. Bluver was the C.E.O. of Suffolk County National Bank, which was acquired by People's earlier this year. After the deal closed, People's announced plans to close 13 former Suffolk County National Bank branches on Long Island, including the one in the village.

There is another People's branch on Pantigo Road, outside the village, and the bank did not initially see the need for two branches just two miles apart. Employees from the village branch were slated to transfer to the Pantigo branch, Mr. Bluver said.

It may have appeared a seamless plan on paper, but "customers told us it was really an inconvenience for them to go to Pantigo," Mr. Bluver said. "We listened to them." Small businesses in the village like to be able to bank within walking distance, he said, acknowledging that the two-mile drive can take a surprisingly long time in busy summer traffic.

The owner of the Newtown Lane building, Ben Krupinski, is also "one of our best customers," Mr. Bluver said, and was pleased to have the bank stay on.

On the South Fork, in addition to the two East Hampton branches, People's United also has branches in Montauk, Sag Harbor, and Southampton and inside Stop & Shop grocery stores.

With guilty pleas in East Hampton Town Justice Court on Monday to 24 misdemeanor charges and a $15,000 fine, Thomas Mahl, a Montauk homeowner, concluded a highly publicized case about a share house, or one rented to more people than the town code allows. Mr. Mahl's tenant and co-defender, Alina Gersham, had pleaded guilty five months earlier and paid a $20,000 fine.

At 6 a.m. on Sept. 3 last year, the East Hampton Town Code Enforcement Department, working with the Building Department, fire marshals, and the town police, had searched the house, at 13 Beech Hollow Court. They found nine bedrooms, six of which had been created illegally, and 18 people asleep.

In a press release on Monday, East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said, "Our town will not tolerate violations of our town code, especially those sections designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our single-family neighborhoods and community at large."

Mr. Mahl had blamed Ms. Gersham for the violations, alleging that her fine was simply the cost of doing business. He said he had never received any funds from the profit, and estimated that she had made about $300,000 over the 2016 summer.

"I was forced into pleading guilty," Mr. Mahl said as he waited to make an initial payment on his fine at the court clerk's office. He said he had been in Montauk his whole life."My kids went to kindergarten in Montauk, and East Hampton High School." He said he is now seeking to conform to all all town code requirements so that he can sell his house and move to Florida.

The charges to which Mr. Mahl pleaded guilty included multiple counts of not having required building permits and certificates of occupancy needed to legalize the numerous changes made to the interior, well as violations of the state fire code and of town law requiring pools to be enclosed. In a deal worked out between Mr. Mahl, who was represented in court Monday by Brian Kirst of the law firm Matthews, Kirst & Cooley, and the town attorney's office, headed by Michael Sendlenski, some of the charges were dropped. During the proceedings, Justice Lisa R. Rana went over each charge and asked if he had been coerced in anyway into entering his plea. He said, "No," softly. She fined him $625 for each misdemeanor.

Mr. Mahl said he could not afford to pay the law firm defending him, and that Brian Matthews, the firm's head, had agreed not to be paid until Mr. Mahl sells his house. He said he had known Mr. Matthews for many years,

Justice Rana granted Mr. Mahl six months to pay the fine, but said she wanted some money paid immediately. "I just want to say, we don't want any repeat performances of this nature," Justice Rana warned Mr. Mahl. In the press release, Supervisor Cantwell also said,”Beyond the disruption that this homeowner caused to his neighborhood, he and his tenant created a very dangerous condition that could have turned tragic in an instant.”

In 2015, a house that Mr. Mahl owned on Gates Avenue in Montauk drew similar charges, but only against the renter, Kimberly Geise. Mr. Sendlenski said that at the time homeowners caught in such a situation who claimed, as Mr. Mahl did in 2015, that they had no knowledge of what the renter was doing with the house, were not charged the first time around. With strike two, they are charged, he said. Ms. Geise eventually pleaded guilty to seven charges.

The East End’s representative, Lee Zeldin, a Republican in his second term, was an early and enthusiastic supporter of Donald Trump’s candidacy for president. He has generally championed Mr. Trump since his inauguration, but according to statements made on Tuesday, that support may be slipping.

The fast-developing story about a June 2016 meeting between the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. and people connected to the Russian government first became public on Saturday. Multiple American intelligence agencies have concluded that the Russians actively sought to aid Mr. Trump’s election and harm the campaign of his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

An email chain, released Monday, between the president’s son and an intermediary representing a senior Russian government official indicated that Donald Jr. knew he was interacting with the Russian government, with the mutual goal of influencing the election, when he met with a lawyer named Natalia Veselnitskaya, who is reportedly closely connected to the Kremlin. The president’s then-campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also attended that meeting.

Donald Jr. initially said the conversation mostly concerned an adoption program. Soon after the emails were made public, Mr. Zeldin tweeted that the meeting was “not Russian govt colluding w Trump campaign. Missing too many elements. This one appears to be a big nothingburger.” The statement echoed an assessment made by Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, on “Fox News Sunday.”

On Tuesday, however, after The New York Times made ready to publish details of the emails, prompting the president’s son to issue them himself, Donald Jr. acknowledged that the information came from the Russian government and was part of an effort to help his father. Mr. Zeldin then tweeted from his @leezeldin account, “New emails from @DonaldJTrumpJr contradict a lot of prior story from yesterday and before. This is not the same thing.”

In another tweet, the congressman wrote that “I voted for @POTUS last Nov. & want him & USA to succeed, but that meeting, given that email chain just released, is a big no-no.”

Jennifer DiSiena, Mr. Zeldin’s communications director, said on Tuesday, “Congressman Zeldin believes that Russia meddled in the United States election. He’s always supported a fair and thorough investigation.” She did not respond to a question as to whether Mr. Zeldin believes the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to influence the election.

In a statement also issued on Tuesday, Evan Lukaske, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said that “American intelligence agencies have already determined Russia worked to undermine our elections last year, and now there is proof that Trump campaign officials were willing and eager accomplices. Now Zeldin should say so.”

President Trump regularly rejects the conclusions of the American intelligence community while praising Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia. At the G20 summit last week in Hamburg, Germany, he apparently accepted Mr. Putin’s denial of any attempt to meddle in the election.

Mr. Manafort, who owns a house in Bridgehampton, along with Mr. Kushner, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and Michael Flynn, the former National Security Adviser who was fired weeks into Mr. Trump’s presidency, are among administration officials said to have held undisclosed meetings with Russian officials or others with close ties to Mr. Putin.

The meeting reported this week may be the most explicit indication to date of the Russian effort to put Mr. Trump in the Oval Office.

The East Hampton 9-10 Little League traveling all-stars, who had won the District 36 championship the night before, lost a first-round Section IV game Tuesday to Smithtown-St. James, the District 35 champion, by a score of 12-5.

"It was disheartening," Tim Garneau, one of the young Bonackers' coaches, said Wednesday morning. "We were up 5-2 after four innings and then the rain came, just like in the big leagues. It was a 40-minute delay. When we came back they bunted us to death and we made a lot of errors. They scored 10 runs in that disastrous inning, but, frankly, they weren't as good as the Longwood team we beat in the district championship game. In other words, I think our chances of coming back, though we'll have to win four games in a row, are pretty good."

Hudson Meyer started on the mound for East Hampton, giving up two unearned runs in the four innings he pitched. Andrew Brown relieved him after the rain delay.

As a result of the loss, East Hampton dropped into the losers bracket in the double-elimination tournament. It is to play the Smithtown-St. James/East Meadow loser this evening at the Central Islip Little League field at 5:45. Kai Alversa, whose father, Vinny, coaches East Hampton High School's varsity baseball team, is expected to start.

The rest of the games — provided East Hampton continues to win -- are to be played at Otsego Park in Dix Hills on Friday (at 6), Sunday (at 11), and, if necessary, on Monday (at 6).

With the July Fourth holiday weekend beginning on Friday and the Fourth itself not until Tuesday, the number of visitors in East Hampton did not quickly abate, and traffic, crowding, and egregious, even illegal behavior, remained a focus of town officials. By Wednesday morning, with the Independence Day fireworks over, the community was still “maxed out,” East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said.

From police to fire marshals to ordinance enforcement and marine patrol officers, “Our people are out there enforcing the law. Obviously we have a lot of people in the community. We’ve got all hands on deck,” Mr. Cantwell said, “just trying to keep peace and good order.”

While East Hampton’s year-round population is around 21,000, it’s not news that the number of people here in the high season, and particularly on summer holiday weekends, goes up exponentially. A consultant who analyzed hotel occupancy, the number of additional seasonal visitors, and second homes for a recent economic study of the town found that East Hampton has the peak potential for more than 73,000 people.

Town police saw a lot of activity over the weekend, but Mr. Cantwell said the volume was not unusual. Between Friday and Monday morning, police responded to 447 incidents. There were 12 arrests, including three for driving while intoxicated, 18 traffic accidents, and 105 traffic citations issued for moving violations.

Police were “very busy,” Mr. Cantwell said on Monday, answering more than 160 calls in a 24-hour period and making half a dozen arrests. On Tuesday night in Montauk, “the fireworks were very heavily attended,” the supervisor said.

Noise complaints emanating from residential neighborhoods numbered 56, while there was only one complaint about noise from a commercial site. “The compliance level was excellent,” Mr. Cantwell said.

However, he described one major overcrowding issue in a restaurant and bar in Montauk. A fire marshal who visited the Grey Lady, which is on West Lake Drive, found an excessive crowd and brought in police and ordinance officers to empty out the place. Patrons were allowed to return, but only as many as allowed under the business’s maximum-occupancy limit.

Meanwhile, the resumption of service here by ride-hailing companies — Uber, Lyft, and other services called through an app — had little impact over the weekend, according to Mr. Cantwell. “Uber was present and working, but this weekend we were not overwhelmed in Montauk by Uber activity,” he said.

In an effort to impose order on an increasingly chaotic taxi situation last year, when many cabbies jockeyed for fares, East Hampton had adopted a law that made a business office in East Hampton a prerequisite for a town taxi license, effectively banning the so-called transportation network companies such as Uber. Uber launched a campaign among its customers protesting the law, but the town held fast until state lawmakers placed ride-hailing companies under state purview earlier this year, superseding local laws and clearing the way for these services to return.

Uber drivers, along with all other taxi drivers, are still held to town traffic and other regulations, and there were “a significant number of summonses issued,” Mr. Cantwell said, for cabs parking in public parking spaces longer than the 15-minute limit.

A free shuttle bus in Montauk, set up by the town and run by the Hampton Hopper, a bus company that has been operating among East Hampton hamlets for several years, was “off to a very good start,” Mr. Cantwell said.

On the first day of its Montauk loop, between Hither Hills, downtown, the train station, and the dock area, the shuttle provided 72 one-way rides. That number rose to 86 on Thursday, 180 on Friday, reached 448 on Saturday, and was 306 on Sunday.

Police responded to an additional 249 calls from Monday morning through yesterday morning and reported an additional 14 vehicular accidents in that time period.
