Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. LI Man Stabbed Ex-Wife 20+ Times Day After Protection Order: DA (patch.com) — Bay Shore readers are learning more about a brutal 2024 stabbing outside the local McDonald's, where a Brentwood man attacked his ex-wife more than 20 times just a day after she secured an order of protection. Prosecutors say bystanders at the Bay Shore restaurant called 911 and intervened, and the victim survived after emergency treatment at South Shore University Hospital. The attacker has now been sentenced to 15 years in prison, plus five years of post-release supervision.
2. Coast Guard, West Islip Fire Department Save 5 in Dramatic Water Recue Near Fire Island Inlet (longisland.com) — Bay Shore firefighters helped rescue five people after a boat began sinking near the Fire Island Inlet on Monday afternoon, working alongside West Islip, Babylon, East Islip and the U.S. Coast Guard. One person was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while four others declined transport. Officials praised the swift mutual-aid response that protects Bay Shore-area boaters and residents.
3. A New York deli food maker is recalling 68 products over listeria fears — its third recall in under a year (qz.com) — A Bay Shore-based company, Made Fresh Salads Inc., has recalled 68 deli salads and cream cheese products over possible Listeria contamination and halted production while the FDA investigates. Products were distributed to New York City boroughs and may have been repackaged in stores, so Bay Shore residents should check labels, watch for listeriosis symptoms, and return any affected items for a refund.
4. FDA Has Two Recall Pages. One Is a Bulletin Board, One Is the Record, and Neither Gives You a Number You Can Trust. (lexblog.com) — A recent recall by Bay Shore's Made Fresh Salads Inc. is used as a key example in a deep dive on how the FDA tracks and publicizes food recalls. The article explains why some dangerous recalls get wide attention while others stay buried in obscure databases, helping Bay Shore readers better understand how their local recall was handled.

Whitaker, has died at 75 after a long, distinguished career in the electrical industry and extensive community involvement.
