Saltaire News

Renowed Yorkshire artist Jake Attree is preparing to put Leeds landmarks in the frame with his first exhibition in the city for more a decade.

Saltaire villagers packed the library early last month to partake in a rare feat: they gathered to share memories of an era when the youth group was run like boot camp, the threat of a highway paving over Fire Island was still real and everything seemed simpler, if not better.

The spectacle of a reporter repeatedly falling off his paddleboard into the bay is almost certainly worthy of several column inches in one of this esteemed publication's gossip pages.

Local officials want permission from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to take some sand from the lower beach to fill in areas of dunes damaged or undermined by the storm.

A debate over lax local law enforcement broke out at Saltaire's July 2 board meeting when the topic turned to the village's public enemy number one: bicyclists riding at night without lights.
