• Blotter: Alleged rape, DWI top charges for last week (timesreview.com) — Riverhead Town police reported several recent arrests, including an alleged rape case and multiple alleged DWIs and other charges involving Riverhead residents. Those named have only been charged, and the outcomes of their cases remain to be decided in court.
• For generations of campers, Dorothy P. Flint 4-H Camp is more than land to be preserved (riverheadlocal.com) — Riverhead's role in a $10 million preservation deal will help decide whether the historic Dorothy P. Flint 4‑H Camp and a major stretch of Soundfront land stay protected and in operation. Town officials are weighing costs, liability, and open‑space benefits as Peconic Land Trust races to assemble funding, while generations of alumni describe what losing the camp would mean.
• Intuit's Guidance Cut Is a Warning Light for Every Subscription Business on Long Island (southshorepress.com) — Local subscription‑based businesses, including bookkeeping shops in Riverhead, are warned that cheap AI tools are starting to peel away their simplest, most price‑sensitive customers. The piece urges Long Island firms to rethink what they offer beyond routine, templated work and focus on judgment, accountability, and long‑term relationships that free chatbots can't replace.
