Today's riddle: What did the tree say when Spring arrived? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Police Investigating Robbery At Hilton Hotel In Melville (patch.com) — Police are investigating a reported robbery at the Hilton Long Island/Huntington on Broad Hollow Road in Melville, a hotel frequently used by Huntington-area residents and visitors. Suffolk County's Second Squad is handling the case, but authorities have not yet released details about what was taken, any injuries, or possible suspects as the investigation continues.
2. See 300+ Years Of Suffolk Sheriff History At Huntington Town Hall (patch.com) — A new Suffolk County Sheriff's Office history exhibit is now open at Huntington Town Hall, offering residents a free look at 300-plus years of law enforcement artifacts and photos. Tied to the Suffolk 250 celebration, the display runs through October and can be viewed weekdays during Town Hall business hours. It previously appeared in Riverhead and will travel to other Suffolk communities later this year.
3. Why Long Islanders love tribute bands (newsday.com) — Long Island's booming tribute-band scene now fills major venues like The Paramount in Huntington, offering fans affordable, nostalgia-packed shows that sometimes rival the original acts. With performers from Huntington and nearby towns fronting everything from Ozzy to Pearl Jam tributes, locals can find big-concert energy close to home without big-ticket prices.
4. Huntington's Jack Kennedy to face qualifier in first round of U.S. Open (newsday.com) — Huntington tennis fans have a hometown player to cheer at the U.S. Open as 18-year-old Jack Kennedy makes his Grand Slam singles debut against a qualifier or lucky loser. The University of Virginia freshman earned a wild card by winning the USTA Boys' 18s title and already has experience at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, including a junior doubles championship.
5. 22 Long Island hospitals recognized for heart, stroke care (newsday.com) — Huntington Hospital is among 22 Long Island facilities honored by the American Heart Association for following strict, evidence-based guidelines in treating heart disease and stroke. The awards, including multiple Northwell and NYU Langone hospitals, recognize consistent adherence to time-sensitive care standards rather than overall rankings. For Huntington residents, it's another signal that local cardiac and stroke care meets national best-practice benchmarks.
