• Here’s a nifty Doppler Radar animation of Tuesday’ morning windstorm, which left many on the East End without power for more than a day. PSEG-Long Island says all power has now been restored.

• JumpstART!, an evening of unveilings of art installations, music, dance and performances, takes over downtown Riverhead tonight. Here’s The Beacon’s full report and schedule of events.

• Northeast Stage presents William Shakespeare’s “Twelfe Night” under the stars for three nights this weekend: Aug. 7, 8 & 9 at 7 p.m. in Greenport’s Mitchell Park. [Free]

• The Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport is hosting a free screening of BRONX RIVER WATERWASH  tonight at 6 p.m. The 2014 film, directed by Jean Marie Offenbacher, is a documentary chronicling the creation and stewardship of WATERWASH ABC out of a polluted riverside wasteland, a project spearheaded by the North Fork’s Lillian Ball.

The Riverhead Community Coalition for Safe and Drug-Free Youth will hold their next meeting on Tuesday, August 11, at 2:30 in the community room of the Riverhead United Methodist Church.  Click here for the minutes from July’s coalition meeting.
