Hey, neighbors! It's me again, Andrew Tessler, your host of the Sachem Daily.

First, today's weather:

Breezy with periods of rain. High: 54 low: 49.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Sachem:

  1. Sachem East ready for the inaugural girls' flag football season. The New York Jets gave a grant to certain schools on Long Island, and now they are getting ready for their first seven game season. There will be County and Long Island Championships at the end of the season as well. Walt Whitman, Long Beach, Sachem East, Sachem North, Lynbrook, Massapequa, Lynbrook and Amityville are the schools expected to compete this season. (News 12 Brooklyn)
  2. Brookhaven Town partnering with Dime Bank to help residents dispose of documents and prescription drugs. The town will offer 12 different options and times in the coming months for residents to recycle. Their documents will be put in an industrial shredder and residents can watch them be safely destroyed. Prescription drugs will be disposed of safely in a way that doesn't hurt the environment. You can click the link to see dates and times when you can dispose of your items. (Sachem Patch)
  3. Residents escape from early morning Lake Grove house fire. A house fire broke out Wednesday morning in which multiple departments responded to extinguish the flames. Arson detectives were also on the scene for an investigation. Everyone was able to escape the home unharmed. No other details were released. (Sachem Patch)
