Did You Hear … ?

Police on Saturday received a call reporting a sick fox at Waveny and an officer of the Animal Control section arriving on scene found that a woman had placed her jacket over the shaking animal, an adult rabies vector species. Events unfolded at about 9:19 a.m. near the trail that exits onto Farm Road. The woman had hoped to transfer the animal to Wildlife In Crisis, according to a police report, but it was not possible—the fox had no hair except on its back and appeared to be suffering from hypothermia. Police put down the animal. ***

Hamptonite, the women’s clothing shop that opened last May in the former Butler Gallery space on Elm Street (roughly opposite Chef Luis), has moved next door into a larger space that used to be occupied by Jack Wills.
