Space is limited and pre-registration is required, offering local women who served a chance to connect with peers and access supportive community and government resources close to home.
   

3. Flag football's rise in popularity at Long Island high schools is hurting participation in other girls sports (newsday.com) — Girls flag football is booming at Hauppauge High School, drawing athletes like senior quarterback Taylor Mileti away from traditional spring sports such as lacrosse.

4. State court orders permit for Holtsville battery plant (newsday.com) — A state judge ordered Suffolk County to issue a permit for a Holtsville battery-storage plant, even as most Long Island towns, including Hauppauge's stalled LIPA-contracted project, face moratoriums or delays. Officials remain concerned about drinking water and fire safety, and Suffolk has appealed, leaving several proposed battery facilities' futures uncertain.
   

5. Get a Load of the Shirtless Lunatic Who Posted Videos Threatening to Kill Jeanine Pirro (and Trump) (tspantx.com) — A Hauppauge man has been federally charged after authorities say he posted violent online threats toward a prominent federal official and a former president, leading to his arrest and court-ordered psychiatric treatment.
