3. Dead decapitated animals found in Melville. The decapitated chickens and goats were found inside black plastic bags about 100 feet off Round Swamp Road. The SCPA believes this to be ritualistic in nature, with animal sacrifice as the cause. They are offering a $2,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. (Huntington Patch)

From my notebook:

• Huntington Union Free School District: The Blue Devil's field hockey team improves to 3-0 with win at home against Sayville. “The game was fun and fast, and we all are really playing so well together,” star player Grace Agrillo said. “Every last one of us is playing so hard and not quitting on ourselves or the team. It’s been a great season so far. We have a long way to go, so I’m sure we will only get even better. But winning sure is fun.” (Huntington Union Free School District via Facebook)
