The East Hampton School District officially broke ground last week on its new transportation hub at the town's former scavenger waste site on Springs-Fireplace Road. The 10,800-square-foot facility will serve as a parking, maintenance, and fueling depot for most of the district's 37 school buses. It will also feature classroom space for a new student program in auto mechanics.
New York State troopers charged an East Hampton man on Jan. 5 with sex abuse involving an 11-year-old child, a first-degree Class B felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
The witness who called police on Dec. 17 thought that the driver of a red pickup truck would do the same. Instead, after hitting a utility pole on Route 114, the driver fled, leaving wires strewn across the road. Police looked but did not find the truck. PSEG repaired the broken pole.
A Medford woman who drew the attention of Sag Harbor police at 2 a.m. on Jan. 25 by stopping for a Main Street stop sign 20 feet away from the sign and then driving through it, was charged later that morning with driving while intoxicated.
