The 6th Annual “Hamptons Artists for Haiti Benefit” was held on Saturday evening on the fields of the Hayground School. Proceeds will benefit the Wings Over Haiti Foundation to expand its second school in Ranquitte, Haiti, which opened its doors three years ago. The school, the only one in the area, now educates over 100 students, and is on the way to enrolling 400. Proceeds from the benefit will go to building more classrooms and providing the kids with regular meals. KYRIL BROMLEY PHOTOS

Expect Delays

Anyone who commutes east and west on the South Fork daily, or who needs goods or services that come by truck — so, really, everyone — endured several days of stress. New York State and Suffolk County officials were able to find a higher gear than normal to repair Sunrise Highway at the Shinneock Canal, which limited the pain, and for that they are to be commended. By now, everyone is aware: Heavy rains last week caused erosion along the bridge abutments on the northeast side of the canal. Two westbound lanes of the highway were closed for days, with ... by Editorial Board
