🌱 Huntington Daily: Man Shot To Death + Sundae Donuts Featured

Hello all! I'm back in your inbox this warm morning to walk you through everything you need to know about what's happening locally. Here we go...

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and very warm. High: 87 low: 71.

Here are the top 5 stories in Huntington today:

1. Fort Salonga home burglarized on Sunday; watch stolen. The home on Dolores Lane was broken into around 7:15 p.m., when the thief entered through a window and proceeded to steal a watch. (Patch)
2. A 23-year-old man was shot to death at Huntington Station home Tuesday morning. Byron Martinez was shot at his Fifth Avenue home after opening the door when someone knocked around 1:15 a.m. The suspect has not been caught and police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-221-TIPS.

4. Sundae Donuts brings a unique vibe to Huntington Village. The dessert shoppe opened back in December, and virtually every item is created with a doughnut. Check out our feature on Sundae Donuts and interview with owner Michelle Tadros. (Huntington Patch)
5. Town Supervisor Ed Smyth wants more residents to utilize HART bus. The town received a $2,451 FDA grant for the bus system, and not many residents use the service. "We want to get more cheeks in the seats," Huntington Supervisor Edmund Smyth said. "There is no need to wait at a bus station — you can hail or depart a HART bus anywhere along its route. Huntington is the only Town in Suffolk County with our own bus system. I recently took a ride on a HART bus and I encourage everyone to try this inexpensive and sustainable mode of transportation, which helps reduce the number of vehicles on our roads."(Huntington Patch)
