Good Morning!

• Five years after suffering a brutal attack, musician Mick Hargreaves talked with The Beacon this week about moving on, making his mark, and “Crystal Ball,” a new single that he was working on the morning he was attacked, a song about how none of us know what fate has in store. The full story is online here.

• The lake at Peconic Dunes County Park is one of seven Suffolk County-designated bathing beaches that was closed yesterday due to high bacteria levels. Campers at the Peconic Dunes summer camp there swim in the Long Island Sound, not in the lake, due to the frequent closure of the lake. This is the only East End beach included in the closure. More information on Suffolk County bathing beach closures is online here.
