1. Rye Marine Police Rescue Passengers from Boat Run Aground on Long Island (ryerecord.com) — Rye's Marine Police Unit helped rescue eight people after their boat struck rocks and began taking on water off Sands Point, across Long Island Sound from Rye.

4. Former Rye Resident and Founder of The UHNW Institute Dies at 68 (ryerecord.com) — Rye is mourning the passing of former resident Stephen Emanuel Prostano, a devoted family man and respected wealth-management innovator who helped found The UHNW Institute.
