📰 News we're reading
• Christmas Tree Removal Guidelines Issued for Sound Shore Communities (talkofthesound.com) — Rye residents can leave bare, unbagged Christmas trees out on their regular organic yard waste pickup days, generally through mid-to-late January, and should confirm exact dates with ryeny.gov or DPW. The article also rounds up 2026 tree collection rules for nearby Sound Shore communities, plus reminders about how to dispose of wrapping paper and wreaths correctly. 
• Top House Democrat slams US action in Venezuela as an ‘imperial adventure' (meaww.com) — Rye gets a brief mention as the site of a 2025 Long Island Sound Partnership event Jim Himes attended at Jay Heritage Center, but the story is really about his sharp criticism of President Trump’s recent military action in Venezuela. Himes compares the strikes to past U.S. interventions and argues Congress has been sidelined, while Marco Rubio defends the strategy as economic pressure, not invasion.
