📰 News we're reading

• Smithtown HS Students Debate, Vote In Mock Suffolk Legislature Session (patch.com) — Hauppauge’s William H. Rogers Legislature Building became a classroom as Smithtown East and West students ran a full mock Suffolk County Legislature session, debating real-life proposals on traffic safety and water quality. Guided by Legislators Leslie Kennedy and Sal Formica, teens took on official roles, questioned speakers, and voted on measures, gaining first-hand insight into how local government in Hauppauge operates.    

• Kayla Alvarenga, of Bay Shore, sentenced to life in prison for ordering killing of man sleeping in his car outside her home (newsday.com) — A Hauppauge-based defense attorney is representing a Bay Shore woman just sentenced in Suffolk County to life in prison without parole for orchestrating a 2022 killing in a church parking lot. The case, involving a local street gang and multiple cooperating witnesses, drew a rare full-life sentence as prosecutors argued the defendant’s threats showed she could not be rehabilitated and the judge called her a grave risk to society.    

• High school roundup: Lacrosse, baseball, softball, badminton and track and field results (newsday.com) — Hauppauge boys lacrosse fans will want to know their team rolled past West Babylon, 17-5, behind a dominant faceoff performance from Joe Bono and big scoring nights from Michael Granshaw and Griffin Segal. The wider roundup also highlights other Long Island high school lacrosse, baseball, softball, badminton, and track results from earlier this week.
