Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Huntington Spa Worker Accused Of Forcibly Touching Woman, Later Messaging Her On Facebook: Police (patch.com) — Police say a massage therapist at a Hand & Stone spa on Walt Whitman Road in Huntington was arrested after a woman reported he forcibly touched her during a December 2025 session and later contacted her on Facebook. Detectives from the Second Squad charged the Syosset man with forcible touching and are asking anyone in Huntington or nearby who believes they were victimized to call investigators.
2. Suffolk County To Distribute 240K Rabies Vaccine Baits This Fall (patch.com) — Suffolk County health officials are rolling out 240,000 oral rabies vaccine baits this fall, including in neighborhoods across Huntington, to curb the spread of the deadly virus. Residents may see marked county vehicles slowly tossing fish-scented packets into local woods, drains and hedges, a method officials say is safe for people and pets while protecting raccoons and the wider community.
3. More than 900 taxing districts on Long Island can make property tax bills difficult to understand (news12.com) — Huntington homeowners are being warned that only about 7% of their property tax bill actually goes to the town, even as the Town Board considers piercing New York's tax cap. With more than 900 taxing districts islandwide, officials say confusion is common and urge residents to learn which schools, libraries, and special districts really drive their bills.
4. After Years Surviving Outdoors, Kitty Needs A Quiet Forever Home: Huntington Adoptable Pet Of The Week (patch.com) — A Huntington-based rescue is urgently seeking a quiet, adult-only, pet-free home for Kitty, a 9-year-old tabby who survived years outdoors and multiple losses. Volunteers say she's shy but deeply affectionate once she feels safe, and they're asking Huntington-area residents to consider adopting or sharing her story so she can finally have a stable forever home.
5. Top 5 Fights on Fall Boxing Schedule (nyfights.com) — Boxing fans in Huntington can circle October 10, when a Rockin' Fights 55 card is slated for The Paramount Theater as part of a packed fall fight schedule. The wider lineup features major title bouts worldwide, but local readers can look forward to big-name action happening right in town.
