1. Towns and villages scramble to clear brush, remove downed trees after nor'easter (newsday.com) — Glen Cove residents are still seeing the impact of last weekend's nor'easter, with downed branches and a fallen pine at Karen Road and Elm Avenue already chipped and hauled away by city crews. Across Long Island, towns are waiving brush fees, organizing special pickups, and removing hundreds of trees as cleanup continues and utilities finish clearing limbs from power lines.
2. Glen Cove Woman Pleads Guilty in Drugged Driving Crash That Killed Motorcycle Passenger in North Hills (newsbreak.com) — A Glen Cove woman has pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide and related charges after a drug-impaired crash in North Hills killed a motorcycle passenger and seriously injured her husband. Prosecutors say she drove while high on cocaine and Xanax, causing a fiery collision on the Long Island Expressway; she now faces a potential 7 to 21 years in prison at sentencing in November.
3. From Long Island to 'Copperfield!' (liherald.com) — Two performers with deep Glen Cove ties are starring in the new Off-Broadway musical "Copperfield!", drawing on childhood music programs in Glen Cove and family restaurants like Asahi Tokyo to shape their careers. The show, running through December 6 in Manhattan, highlights how Long Island experiences, including Glen Cove schools and businesses, helped them find artistic "home" onstage.
4. Officials: Nassau DPW Applying for Baxter Pond Dredging Permits (longisland.com) — Nassau County is moving ahead with permit applications to dredge Baxter's Pond, a key step in long-planned flood-control and environmental upgrades along Shore Road. Glen Cove's Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton helped secure funding for new park sidewalks, lighting, and related improvements that local residents will benefit from as work continues on the nearby Baxter Estates seawall.
