Track Stars, Tucker Style 🏃‍♀️

Mattituck is sending five track & field athletes to the state championships and they’re doing it with grit, and PRs (personal records).

At last weekend’s Suffolk County Class C state qualifiers, five Tuckers punched their golden tickets to Middletown High School for the NYS Championships June 13–14. Here’s who’s heading north:

Rhianna Lutz (Sr., long jump): Nailed a 16'5" jump on her final attempt.
Ever Meyer (So., pentathlon): Hit a personal best of 15'0" in the long jump to finish 5th overall in the pentathlon and claim a spot at states.
Daniel Gamboa-Boutcher (Sr., triple jump): Crushed his PR by 4 feet with a 42'4" jump.
Haley Lake (Sr., pole vault): Cleared 8 feet, best in Class C.
Rachel Kubetz (8th grade, 1500m): Eighth. Grade. Ran a PR of 5:12.26. Took the top Class C spot.

This is the first year small schools like Mattituck got their own Class C division at qualifiers, and coaches say it’s a game-changer. More chances. More medals. Lets Go Tuckers! ($)

SFD Christens New Fireboat 🚤

Emergencies don’t always stick to land. That’s why the Southold Fire Department just welcomed a brand-new fire boat, officially christened this past weekend at Goldsmith’s Boat Shop.

Whether it’s a fire offshore or a marine rescue, this powerful new vessel gives our hometown heroes the tools they need, no matter where the call comes from.

A big salute to the volunteers who always show up, on land and water.

Local Business

Arni Paperie

Camp Mercantile is popping up at Arni Paperie on Saturday, June 14, and maybe Sunday, too, if the vibes are right and the crowd shows up.

If you’ve never been, Arni Paperie is Southold’s cutest little cottage full of beautifully curated stationery and artisan gifts. It’s basically what would happen if Pinterest moved into a historic house.

Now add Camp Mercantile to the mix, makers of limited-edition home décor and accessories crafted from upcycled vintage goods, and you’ve got yourself a pop-up worth popping into.

Everything is one-of-a-kind, so don’t wait. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
