This Morning’s Bulletin — 5.9.16
Good Morning!
• The rainy weather has finally broken. Today is expected to be sunny, with a high near 69 degrees and a west wind 13 to 17 miles per hour. Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low around 43. Tomorrow and Wednesday are expected to be mostly sunny, with highs near 67 degrees.
• Results of water sampling performed by SUNY Stony Brook has confirmed cyanobacteria blooms, more commonly known as blue–green algae, at Laurel Lake in Laurel, and another blue-green algae bloom first recorded last week persists at Wickapogue Pond in Southampton. The Suffolk County Health Department is asking residents not to use or swim or wade in these waters and to keep their pets and children away.
• Most people who’ve driven along Flanders Road in leafless seasons have seen the massive, boarded-up blue former boarding house peeking through the trees behind the Flanders Memorial Park. This building, best known locally as The Brewster House, has been in disrepair for decades, and Southampton Town will be holding a public hearing tomorrow, Tuesday, May 10, at 1 p.m. to consider whether the property, at 1380 Flanders road is “unsafe and should be removed.” But its current owners hope to renovate it. The Beacon’s full story is online here.
• Riverside Rediscovered will hold its monthly meet-up this Thursday, May 12 at 6:30 p.m. to vote on the first of its monthly “Riverside Five” grants and to hear an update on the redevelopment of Riverside from Sean McLean. Light refreshments will be served. More information is online here.
• Things are looking pretty bleak for the North Fork summer traffic situation, after The New York Times ran a front page article on the wonders of the North Fork in their Sunday Real Estate section yesterday. Condolences, everyone.
