The East Hampton/Pierson/Bridgehampton girls indoor track team may have finished last at the League III Championships at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood on Friday, but they set many new personal bests and a new school record — was not broken once, but twice, in the same meet.

Her teammate, Sophia Figueroa, ran 9.68 seconds in the following heat to break Echavarria’s record. Point scorers, which include those placing ... by Drew Budd

Shredding It

I picked up the phone because I needed answers about the cardboard shredder. Packaging used to be simple for my farm. Baskets, then burlap, paper then plastic, but ultimately, from us, the manufacturer, little packaging was required. We still send potatoes in paper sacks, but we can also now send it in bottles, as Vodka, to martini makers all over the Empire State. With this fragile opportunity, comes packaging.
