Today's riddle: What did one wall say to the other? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Historic Playland Dragon Coaster 'Slightly Damaged' In Weekend Fire (patch.com) — Rye firefighters handled two significant Saturday fires, first assisting at a Harrison house blaze, then quickly containing an evening fire on Playland's historic Dragon Coaster along Playland Parkway. Officials say the damage to the beloved Rye attraction appears repairable, no injuries were reported, and maintenance work this fall should have the coaster ready for visitors next season.
2. Rye Pickleballers Bring Full-Length Murder Mystery Film to the Big Screen (ryerecord.com) — Rye pickleball players have turned their on-court camaraderie into a full-length comedic murder mystery, filmed largely at Rye Rec courts and Wainwright House with about 80 local residents in the cast. After a private premiere in Mamaroneck, the creators hope to secure more screenings and plan to donate any proceeds to favorite charities, showcasing Rye's creative, community spirit.
3. Markus Peters Captures Light in Playland Baths Tower Photo (myrye.com) — A striking photograph of the Playland Baths tower, taken by Rye resident and filmmaker-photographer Markus Peters, is being highlighted as part of MyRye.com's Art of Rye series. The feature invites locals to suggest more artwork depicting people or places in Rye keeping the spotlight on homegrown creativity and familiar landmarks.
4. CT high school star Aaron Sabato called up to Minnesota Twins, makes MLB debut (nhregister.com) — A Major League Baseball dream just came true for Aaron Sabato, who grew up in Rye and starred at Brunswick School in Greenwich. After a record-setting Triple-A season, he's been called up to the Minnesota Twins and has already made his MLB debut at first base, capping years of work that began in local diamonds near Rye.
5. Struggling To Figure Out AI's Role in Classrooms (ryerecord.com) — A Rye High School AP macroeconomics teacher is reworking his classes so students must explain and defend their thinking, instead of just producing AI-assisted answers. His approach, and students' mixed feelings about tools like ChatGPT, highlights how unclear rules around AI are stressing teens and pushing schools to spell out what "your own work" really means.
