Grind

Halloween is over, but the fun doesn't have to be, with a costume parade and a few parties to attend. There's also a Brewathlon and a pancake breakfast on tap this weekend. Just don’t forget to set the clocks back on Sunday, or you could miss out. 

The East Hampton Kiwanis Club's annual Family Fun Day, originally scheduled for last weekend, was postponed because of rainy weather.

Renovations are underway at Southampton Town Hall, and the town board room and conference room will not be available for use through the end of the year. 

The spookiest time of the year is upon us, and there are plenty of ways to get into the spirit — and maybe even dress like one. Here’s a rundown of Halloween-related events for all ages.

Stony Brook University water testing at Bridgehampton's Kellis Pond on Wednesday morning identified a new blue-green algae bloom, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services has announced.

Police across the South Fork will be collecting unused and expired prescription medications on Saturday, as part of the Drug Enforcement Agency’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. 

East Hampton Town police will be at Town Hall on Pantigo Road from 10 a.m to 2 p.m.

Southampton Town police's Drug Take Back event will be held during the same times at three locations: the police substation at Bridgehampton Commons, the Hampton Bays Community Center, and the Flanders Community Center.

The Southampton Town Board has approved funding to match recent fund-raising efforts to implement a water quality improvement project plan for Sagg Pond and Sagg Inlet, which is at the south end of the pond.

The Accabonac Protection Committee and the East Hampton Nature Preserve Committee will hold a tour of three nature preserves off Springs-Fireplace Road in Springs on Sunday afternoon. Led by Zachary Cohen, the chairman of the Nature Preserve Committee, and Andy Gaites, the town's principal environmental analyst, the tour is designed to enhance knowledge of the Accabonac watershed.

Following extensive testing of soil, sediment, and surface water and groundwater for hazardous and toxic wastes at Camp Hero State Park, the United States Army Corps of Engineers has determined that no further remedial action is needed at the former defense site.

October 21 through 25 is National School Bus Safety Week, and police departments and school districts throughout Suffolk County are observing it with special enforcement and reminders to drivers, students, and parents about the rules of the road where school buses are concerned.

Stony Brook University commemorated its latest advancement in medical care for children with the completion of the new Stony Brook Children’s Hospital addition.

Saturday is National Move Over Day, a reminder, like the public safety announcement posted on YouTube, to drivers to slow down and safely move over when approaching emergency or hazard vehicles that are stopped along the road.
