📰 News we're reading
• Sayville fireman among the still missing (trihamletnews.com) — A long-missing WWII soldier, Pfc. Boyd Kime, is being remembered in Sayville as federal teams work to recover remains from sunken Japanese POW "hellships." Kime grew up on Moscow (now Johnson) Avenue, attended Sayville High School, served in the Sayville Fire Department, and was honored locally in 1998. His story, recently resurfacing alongside national recovery efforts, highlights Sayville's sacrifice and connection to the war's lingering losses.

Very friendly. Been visiting my home in Sayville for a week now! (Nextdoor Sayville West) - I was doing leaves and accidentally unknowing a yellow jack hive.
