Do you believe in this method of combating underage drinking?
Glen Cove was the first municipality in Nassau County to enact a Social Host Law, a measure subsequently adopted countywide in 2007. It is a step that communities throughout the country are taking to fight underage drinking, making it a crime for adults to permit alcohol consumption in the home by anyone under 21. Substance Abuse Free Environment, or SAFE, Inc., is a federally-funded non-profit with offices in Glen Cove's City Hall. The group promotes the law as one of its tools in fighting substance abuse among the city's youth, and at an April 26 town hall meeting cited the fact that it has been used to bring charges in 21 cases since its inception. The most recent was the case of a Glen Cove mother who was arrested after officers …

Residents are invited to bring their unused medications to the Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department for safe disposal next week.
Residents with unused or expired prescription medications are encouraged to drop them off at the Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department on Saturday, May 12 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. State Senator Carl Marcellino, a partner in the "Shed the Meds" program, warned about the dangers of letting such substances sit around or disposing of them improperly. "When old medication is just left around the house, there’s a potential for those drugs to be misused by someone else, you just don’t know," Marcellino said in a statement. "However, flushing them down the drain is not the answer because they could work their way into our water system. Here on Long Island we drink the water beneath our feet so we must do all we can to continue to protect that …

Police say they know the identity of the driver and are looking for him.
Two people sustained minor injuries after a car that was fleeing police early this morning crashed in Locust Valley, according to the Glen Cove Police Department.
