But first, today's weather:

Plenty of sun. High: 63, low: 48.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Three Village Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top four stories today in Three Village:
