Today's riddle: What is the difference between a jeweler and a jailer? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Lifeguards, Residents Rescue Raccoon From North Shore Waters (patch.com) — Morning walkers and lifeguards at Glen Cove's Morgan Memorial Park Beach teamed up to rescue a frightened young raccoon stranded above the bay and battered by waves. With quick thinking, boards, and even an umbrella for backup, the group safely guided the shaking animal to shore, leaving local residents proud of their community's compassion.
2. Avery's diaphragm pacemaker (implantable-device.com) — A pioneering medical-device company that helped develop diaphragm pacemakers once operated right in Glen Cove, continuing Long Island's role in life-saving implant technology. The story traces Avery Laboratories' journey from Farmingdale to Glen Cove and later Commack, explaining how its wireless power system for breathing support grew from early cardiac pacemaker research and still underpins devices the firm manufactures today.
3. Beacon Chief: Flock Report Wrong (highlandscurrent.org) — Glen Cove is named in a new civil-rights report that questions how local police departments statewide use Flock license-plate reader data in relation to federal immigration enforcement. While Beacon's police chief disputes his city's inclusion, the report also flags searches by officers in Nassau County, Glen Cove, and Cheektowaga, fueling broader debate over privacy, data sharing, and safeguards on this fast-growing surveillance technology.
4. Peconic Bay Medical Center nurses earn national recognition for excellence (riverheadlocal.com) — Glen Cove residents may be interested to know that Glen Cove Hospital is now one of 14 Long Island hospitals holding prestigious Magnet status for nursing excellence, alongside newly recognized Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead. The designation signals strong nurse-led care, better patient outcomes, and a commitment to ongoing quality improvements at hospitals many North Shore patients rely on.
