Good morning, Westhampton-Hampton Bays neighbors and friends! Years after a tragic plane crash off Quogue left three dead, the probe continues.

Also, the Westhampton Beach Fire Department Juniors put their hearts into collecting for Ukraine Saturday, filling up one trailer with necessities, and another, larger trailer with clothes. Great job by all involved — and thank you to this amazing community, for always stepping up to help with open hearts.

Until tomorrow. . .
