Nearby: Port Washington North, NYIf the private developer New Oasis Development LLC hopes to move forward with its proposed project of building a senior living complex in Port Washington North, it needs to submit a tree survey and a landscape plan before Christmas. Port Washington North Mayor Robert Weitzner set the deadline at the village board of trustees meeting on Thursday, Nov. 12. The hearing on New Oasis’s proposed project was postponed until Jan. 6, following concerns from both board members and residents. In a bid awarded over a decade ago, New Oasis proposed construction of a new senior living facility with 44 townhomes and a clubhouse. Neighboring residents concerned over the potential environmental impact and increased traffic resulting from the project have filed a lawsuit against the company. Timely submission of requested documentation has been an issue for the applicant in a case that has dragged on for years.

Farmington Daily Times · Manhattan, NY
Nearby: Manhattan, NYNEW YORK (AP) — A member of New York’s Chinese dissident community who admitted spying for five years on his fellow activists on behalf of the Chinese government avoided prison time at his sentencing Thursday in Manhattan federal court. Yuanjun Tang, 69, an outspoken critic of the Chinese Communist Party for over three decades, was sentenced to three years’ probation by Judge John G. Koeltl. The judge said claims by some individuals who believe they and their families were targeted for harm because of Tang’s actions could not be proven. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane Chong had asked the judge to impose a five-year prison sentence, the maximum Tang could face after pleading guilty in September 2025 to a charge that he failed to register as an agent of the People’s Republic of China with the U.S. attorney general’s office.

Nearby: Manhattan, NYAt just 23, the Australian pop star has already flopped, been dropped, and considered calling music quits. Then they made their playful and poetic breakthrough record. By Tobias Hess Photographer Taryn Segal The FADER's longstanding series GEN F profiles emerging artists to know now. ADVERTISEMENT daine arrives to their interview in Manhattan with a matcha in hand and a long to-do list. There is a lot to juggle during their visit to New York City from Melbourne, Australia — mainly because things are going really well. “I've never been D-list famous before,” they say in a buzzy downtown cafe on a sunny October day. They have a monotone matter of speaking and tend to slouch their shoulders while gazing ahead, their green eyes glinting. “But now we're here." Earlier in the week, they received an offer to open for a major rising pop star on a run of arena shows next year. It’s an immense opportunity, but it has daine questioning if they want to be the kind of musician who tours that much.

Scrolling through Yelp, or even Google Maps, you’re likely to find either beautiful but exorbitantly priced bistros or cheap ‘hole-in-the-wall’ diners with AI-generated advertising. And so, after an AP Chem double that never seems to end, a pop quiz in Lit, and 10 new homework assignments due at 11:59 p.m., simply finding a reasonably priced and good-tasting spot to eat may seem hopeless—until you come across salvation.
The Hechinger Report · Glen Cove, NY
Nearby: Glen Cove, NYVALLEJO, Calif. — Minutes before first bell, Penny Núñez-Brandão scanned the crowd outside Glen Cove Elementary School, looking for familiar faces. “I don’t see any,” the fifth grader told her mom one morning this August. “None of my friends are coming.” The start of a new school year can be nerve-racking under any circumstances. But for Penny and thousands of students across the U.S., this academic year brought the added difficulty of adjusting to an entirely new school after their previous one shuttered. As U.S. birth rates continue a multi-decade slide and state and federal education funding dries up, an increasing number of cash-strapped school districts around the country have resorted to closing campuses to save money. A total of 1,156 schools closed during the last academic year — the highest number since the pandemic, according to an analysis of federal data by Big Local News at Stanford University.
