Here are the top 3 stories today in Sachem:

1. Man arrested for threatening Jake's 58 employees. "Joshua Hurt, 28, of Wheatley Heights, wrote a comment on a travel website on July 30 threatening to bring a gun to Jake's 58 Casino Hotel, at 3635 Express Drive North, with the intent of hurting the staff at the gaming facility, police said." He was arrested on Saturday and charged with making a threat of mass harm, a class B misdemeanor. (Patch)
2. Check out 5 new homes for sale in the area. The homes are in the Town of Brookhaven, and you can get more information on each listing by clicking the photos. (Sachem Patch)
3. Temperatures to cool down for the work week. After another warm start to the week Monday and Tuesday, the rest of the week looks beautiful. Temperatures will be in the high 80s to near 90 degrees Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday through Friday bring high 70s and low 80s. That sure will feel cool compared to the near 100 heat index we've had recently. (Weather.com)
