Cutchogue-New Suffolk: Cinematic Series returns; a call to artists

What does the future hold for educating the students in Southold Town? Be part of a conversation involving business, civic and spiritual leaders, teachers, students and parents. On Monday, March 21, at 6 p.m. in the Southold High School auditorium, speaker Ian Jukes will facilitate the dialogue and encourage participants to find ways to engage, innovate and inspire. This program is co-sponsored by the five North Fork school districts and PTAs, the Lions Club and the Mattituck Chamber of Commerce.

It’s been said that the Mattituck Tuckers Class B Long Island basketball championship game had one of the greatest, most exciting finishes in high school basketball history. Seconds remained on the clock, and fans screamed in support as Steve Ascher sank the first free throw, taking the lead against Malverne 67-66. Steve’s second free throw bounced off the back rim. Cody Huntley rebounded and took a shot that ricocheted off the rim, setting Steve up for tipping the ball in as time ran out. Way to go, Tuckers!

Helen Krupski sends birthday wishes to her granddaughter Kimberly Krupski, who celebrates today, March 17.

Prayers of healing are being sent to Diane Graeb and Ralph Pugliese.
