“People buy illegal temporary tags online, and they get away with it until police suspect something fishy about the plate, or until they’re stopped for an ordinary traffic infraction,” according to East Hampton Village Detective Sgt.

In a pilot program that he has been running since he was a freshman, Charlie Stern, a junior at East Hampton High School, determined that the school has thrown out over 100,000 plastic utensils in that time. Now, he's asking the district to consider ditching the plasticware.

When the East Hampton Y.M.C.A. Hurricanes swim team competed in the state meet at the Webster Aquatic Center in Webster, N.Y., the Springs School fifth grader Novella Dunham won five state championships. Asked how it felt to be a five-time state champ, Novella said that the event helped build her confidence to make her a better swimmer. “I think all of the swimmers did great and I’m excited to have the next meet.”
