Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• A fresh start for East Meadow's Matty Mazello (liherald.com) — An 11-year-old East Meadow boy beat leukemia after two years of treatment at NYU Langone's Cancer Center for Kids in Mineola, and is now starting middle school cancer‑free. His story highlights the Mineola center's role as Nassau County's largest outpatient facility for childhood cancer and blood disorders, and shares hopeful advice for other families facing similar diagnoses.
• High school roundup: Soccer, field hockey, volleyball and boys golf (newsday.com) — Mineola's girls soccer team dominated Lawrence 7–1, with Cassidy Fitzgerald and Sophia Prudenti each scoring twice to keep Mineola's strong season rolling. The roundup also highlights other Long Island high school results in boys and girls soccer, field hockey, volleyball, and golf from Thursday's action.
• Long Island hospitals took $4.8 billion in property value off tax rolls, increasing taxpayer burden (newsday.com) — Nonprofit hospitals on Long Island have removed $4.8 billion in property value from local tax rolls, and NYU Langone's exempt properties in Mineola are part of that shift. Residential buildings for medical students and a credit union branch in Mineola avoid school and municipal taxes, meaning homeowners and other businesses shoulder more of the cost for local services and schools.
