Weather forecast:
1. Firefighters rescue riders stuck on Adventureland Wave Twister in East Farmingdale (newsday.com) — Riders on Adventureland’s new Wave Twister were dramatically rescued Friday evening after the ride stalled about 50 feet in the air at the East Farmingdale park. Firefighters used a ladder truck and crane to safely bring down nearly a dozen riders, including children, from the attraction, which is part of a multi-phase, $10 million redevelopment of the Farmingdale park’s Legacy Corner area.
2. Rising Above (farmingdale.edu) — Farmingdale State College’s Flying Rams will headline the opening fly-by at this year’s July 4 FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach, showcasing five college-owned aircraft flown by recent FSC grads. The story highlights how Farmingdale’s aviation programs, flight center, and instructors turn local students into professional pilots while giving them a high-profile stage just minutes from campus.
3. It's take your child to college day (cccnews.info) — Parents studying or working at SUNY campuses, including Farmingdale, increasingly rely on on-campus daycare centers to balance childcare and college life. A detailed look at Suffolk County Community College’s center shows how these programs support student-parents’ schedules, offer educational activities for kids, and reflect a broader SUNY push to expand childcare access across Long Island.
4. For SUNY Old Westbury, a supersized ACE in the hole (innovateli.com) — Farmingdale State College is one of four Long Island SUNY campuses benefiting from a major expansion of the ACE/ASAP student-support programs, funded by an $8 million boost in the state budget. Starting Fall 2026, more Pell- and TAP-eligible students will receive help with textbooks, transportation, groceries, and advising to stay on track to graduate.
