Today's riddle: I'm a rock group with 4 members; one member was assassinated. What am I? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Exec who led ill-fated Midway Crossing project starts new venture (libn.com) — Islip officials are moving ahead with plans to upgrade MacArthur Airport, selecting Fly Long Island to build a new terminal or expand the existing one and link it better to the Ronkonkoma LIRR station. After the Midway Crossing project collapsed, Suffolk County and the Town of Islip are separately pursuing new mixed-use and airport-focused developments that could reshape travel, jobs, and economic activity for local residents.
2. 2nd West Nile Virus Case Reported In Suffolk: Officials (patch.com) — Health officials have confirmed this season's second human West Nile virus case in Suffolk County, involving a resident over 50 who lives in the Town of Islip. Local readers are urged to protect against mosquito bites through November and watch for symptoms such as fever, headaches, or more severe neurological issues, especially if they're older or have chronic conditions.
3. 10 storylines for the high school boys soccer season on Long Island (newsday.com) — Islip boys soccer is coming off a late-season surge, winning four of its last five games and a playoff match, and returns star scorer Jonathan Lovo Lopez plus promising JV call-ups. As the new Long Island high school season kicks off, local fans can watch whether this deeper Buccaneers squad turns last year's momentum into a serious Suffolk Class A run.
4. Suffolk County To Distribute 240K Rabies Vaccine Baits This Fall (patch.com) — Suffolk County is dropping 240,000 oral rabies vaccine baits this fall across Babylon, Huntington, Smithtown, and Islip to curb the spread of terrestrial rabies. Islip residents may see marked county vehicles tossing harmless, fish-scented packets into local sumps, woods, and hedges as officials build a vaccinated wildlife barrier to protect people and pets.
