📰 News we're reading
• Multiple Pileups as Labor Day Draws Near (easthamptonstar.com) — Local roads around Amagansett and the rest of East Hampton have seen a string of recent crashes as summer traffic peaks, including one where an injured driver was transported by Amagansett ambulance to Stony Brook Hospital’s East Hampton emergency complex. Police detail several multi‑car collisions and minor injuries in Springs, Montauk, and East Hampton Village, underscoring the need for extra caution heading into Labor Day. 
• July Train Robber Brandished a Knife (easthamptonstar.com) — An Amagansett man was robbed of cash and belongings on a train stopping in East Hampton, where the suspect allegedly flashed a knife before escaping the platform. After an extensive search that initially came up empty, M.T.A. detectives and local police arrested a Bronx man weeks later, and he now faces serious felony robbery and weapons charges that could bring a lengthy prison term.
• A Year Later, Montauk Playhouse Thrives (easthamptonstar.com) — Families in Amagansett now have stronger ties to the Montauk Playhouse, whose new aquatic center partners with Amagansett Schools and other local programs for swim lessons, clinics, and youth activities. The year‑old renovation has turned the historic building into a busy, year‑round hub, with concerts, table tennis tournaments, speedcubing, comedy nights, and rental spaces helping sustain the center’s community‑focused mission.
