Today's riddle: What did the tractor say to the plow? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Grant Helps Bring Public Sewers to Sea Cliff (lilifepolitics.com) — Local leaders from Glen Cove and Sea Cliff have secured more than $5 million to extend public sewers to 45 Sea Cliff homes, replacing aging cesspools and sending wastewater to the treatment plant in Glen Cove. The project, building on earlier phases, is designed to protect Hempstead Harbor and Long Island Sound while supporting neighborhood growth just minutes from Glen Cove residents.
2. The Tiny New York College That Offers Full-Tuition Scholarships And Ranks Among The Best In The Country (takingthekids.com) — Right in Glen Cove, Webb Institute offers every admitted U.S. student a full-tuition scholarship to study naval architecture and marine engineering on its waterfront Crescent Beach Road campus. The piece walks you through campus life, admissions competitiveness, required industry internships, and standout job placement, positioning this tiny local college as a powerful, debt-light option for North Shore families considering engineering.
3. Three things to know about the Glen Cove City School District community forums (liherald.com) — Glen Cove City School District is launching monthly community forums and an AI-powered ThoughtExchange tool so residents and students can help shape the next three-to-five-year strategic plan. Board meetings will shift to once a month, forums will rotate among schools, and trustees have updated teacher evaluations to align with New York's new Life Science: Biology Regents exam.
4. Glen Cove goes gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (liherald.com) — Gold ribbons and a flag at Glen Cove City Hall and Village Square are honoring children and families affected by cancer this month, in partnership with the Glen Cove-based Nicholas Pedone Foundation. The group, created in memory of 7-year-old Nicholas Pedone, has invested more than $850,000 in hospital outreach projects to bring comfort and smiles to young cancer patients.
5. The 9/11 Boatlift, 25 Years Later: How workboats evacuated lower Manhattan (workboat.com) — Glen Cove plays a quiet but important role in this 25-year look back at the 9/11 boatlift, as high-speed Fox Navigation ferries carried commuters from the city in the morning and later brought about 1,300 evacuees to safety on its shores. The story traces how workboats, ferries, and crews across New York Harbor improvised a massive water evacuation that day.
