"Please help save our beautiful Mashashimuet Park!" said Diane Schiavoni, who is leading a fund-raiser to restore the park's grandstand.

Any amount is appreciated, she wrote, with hope for "many more years of watching our great school teams compete at our local park!"

The mother's boyfriend, Mr. Kampner, broke down the door, she said; grabbed her by the neck, and forced her onto the bed.

East Hampton Town's overtaxed wireless communications infrastructure, further stressed by last year's influx of "Covid refugees" from New York City, can be improved with the strategic siting of new facilities of various types, a wireless consulting firm told the town board.
Clearly, some sort of benefit does come from going out into the world and engaging with the micro-organisms waiting to be found in the dirt of playgrounds and on the snot-covered tables in classrooms.
