Hey, everybody. It's me, Andrew Tessler, your host of the Huntington Daily — here to impart everything that's fit to print about what's happening locally. Including updates on...

  • Broadway World's rave review for "Mystic Pizza."
  • Halesite Fire Department's October open house.
  • Three National Merit Semifinalists from Harborfields High School.

But first, today's weather:

Breezy in the morning. High: 70 low: 54.

Here are the top three stories in Huntington today:

  1. Harborfields High School has three National Merit Semifinalists. Less than one percent of all high school students receive the accolade which is awarded to students who show exceptional academic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies. Congratulations to Daniel Panettieri, Darien Schultz and Maxmillian Stratton. (Huntington Patch)
  2. A Syosset doctor was elected president of the Medical Society of the State of New York. Dr. Paul Pipia was recently recognized by the town of Oyster Bay. "Dr. Pipia has continually gone above and beyond the call of duty throughout his career to advocate on the behalf of patients and physicians alike," said Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino.

  3. Check out Broadway World's review of "Mystic Pizza" at the John W. Engemen. The play is based off the 1988 Julia Roberts movie and has received rave reviews throughout the island so far. The review said, "this is a delicious show to see as we sadly wind down the summer. You really can't go wrong at this exquisite venue. A brilliant, Broadway-caliber cast, a relatable yet emotional story, and fun music make for a great night of theatre." (Broadway World)
