First, today's weather:
Mostly sunny and humid. High: 86 low: 71.
Here are the top 3 stories today in Sachem:
- Sloth Encounters in Hauppauge given numerous violations by Town of Islip. "Fire marshals cited Sloth Encounters with violations, including change of use with a permit, lack of fire extinguishers, lack of carbon monoxide detectors and electrical hazards." The business has 30 days to fix the issues otherwise they will face a summons from the town. Animal rights activists are raising concerns as well, and we will keep you updated on this story.
