Here are the top four stories today in Huntington:

  1. Senior at Northport High School nominated for a Grammy Award. Kathy Ruiter is a bassist in the New York Youth Symphony and was a member of the group which recorded the album “Works by Florence Price, Jessie Montgomery, Valerie Coleman”. The album is nominated for Best Orchestral Performance at the 2023 Grammy awards. “I’m honestly just excited that we’re even nominated," she said. "We’re against John Williams and the Berlin Philharmonic, which is insane, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic with Dudamel. Even just being nominated and seen alongside these huge names is something I never thought I would experience.” (Patch)
  2. Commack teen creates the Wichards Winter Wonderland to raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital research. Joseph Barragato, a student at LIU Post, told News 12 he has been raising money for two years and has donated $2,000 to St. Jude's so far. (Patch)
