• Hundreds of Long Island massage spas sell sex. Neighbors complain. Police raid them. Business is booming. (newsday.com) — Bethpage residents should know that Nassau police have repeatedly raided H&Q Foot Care on Hicksville Road as part of a wider Long Island crackdown on massage spas accused of selling sex. The investigation details how these businesses keep reopening, the difficult circumstances many workers face, and the frustration of neighbors and legitimate therapists who say the trade harms their communities while owners and customers largely avoid consequences. 
• $5 tee times at Bethpage State Park Golf Course for kids (newsday.com) — Bethpage families with young golfers can tap into $5 rounds at Bethpage State Park Golf Course through the Golf with Us partnership and a free Youth on Course membership for kids who sign up by June 15.
