From the Queens border to Riverhead, police are waging an aggressive enforcement campaign against the booming illegal sex trade across Long Island. They have raided more than 250 spas and arrested at least 400 women — a twelvefold increase in raids since 2021. But there’s one sprawling town where the trade seems to be thriving unchecked, despite repeated community complaints: Islip.
In the state’s third-largest town, authorities raided only three spas in the past five years, according to available records. One took place earlier this month after Newsday reporters began asking questions about illicit activity there. After Newsday inquired Monday about another illicit spa, Islip fire officials shut down that one the next day, citing code violations.

Anastasia Pagonis went from swimming in her local Nassau County pool to swimming at the Paralympics.
In 2020, she made it to the Tokyo Paralympic games and set a new world record, earning a gold medal as well as a bronze medal – and she did it all blind.
The 22-year-old Nassau County native was always into sports as a child. But when she slowly started losing her vision around 12 years old due to two diseases, she had to shift from contact sports to swimming.
Pagonis started using her platform on social media to share her story, as well as her everyday life living with her disability, and the curiosity that people had helped her grow a following of over 332,000 on Instagram and over 2 million on TikTok.

One construction worker is dead and another remains missing after scaffolding collapsed on the Loop Parkway bridge Wednesday, New York State Police said.
At least eight workers were working on the drawbridge when the scaffolding collapsed, sending two into Reynolds Channel.
One worker was rescued and taken to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Authorities said at least six other workers sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Search efforts are ongoing for the missing worker, and the northbound lanes of Loop Parkway remain closed.

Doctors on Long Island said the number of parents refusing to allow their newborns to receive the recommended vitamin K shot continues to increase. New research shows, more infants are having bleeding episodes in their first six months.
Newborns are deficient in vitamin K, which helps with normal blood clotting, and experts say bleeding can happen spontaneously in infants.
"Even a small bruise could turn into a big bleed. It can have significant ramifications if your blood can’t clot,” said Dr. Heather Levin, an obstetrician/gynecologist specializing in maternal fetal medicine at North Shore University Hospital.

A scaffolding collapse on the Loop Parkway bridge Wednesday afternoon left seven construction workers injured and one missing in Reynolds Channel, state police said.
The workers were performing construction on the drawbridge around 11:50 a.m. when the scaffolding collapsed, sending several workers into the water.
Authorities said one worker remained unaccounted for as rescue crews searched the channel. First responders were also providing CPR to another worker.
The Coast Guard, Nassau police dive team and other emergency responders were involved in the rescue efforts.
Southbound lanes reopened shortly before 3 p.m., while northbound lanes remained closed.

A 62-year-old Huntington Station man died after fleeing Suffolk police and becoming unresponsive during his arrest, authorities said.
Police say Victor Santos was approached after officers determined he was wanted on a parole warrant.
Santos allegedly ran from officers and was later found lying facedown in a grassy area. After being handcuffed and turned over, police say he was unresponsive.
Santos was taken to Huntington Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad is investigating, and the state AG’s Office has been notified.

The last thing Elena Volkova was looking for when she and her fiancé were walking the aisles of a grocery store near their Port Washington home was another life-altering moment.
She'll never forget the time and date of the first one: 5 p.m. on March 18, 2022. On that day, Volkova listened on the phone as her doctor told her she had Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.
By the time she and her fiance, Peter Napolitano, entered North Shore Farms on the morning of Oct. 18, four years of medical bills had piled up. Between the two of them, after rent and other bills, the couple could only imagine getting married in a ceremony amid family and friends.
Two weeks later, their all-expenses-paid wedding was set high atop Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. They give a special thanks to Keegan Gordon and the chance encounter that made it all happen.

A week ago, Republican Bruce Blakeman said he was looking to become governor of New York, even telling reporters after he cast his own Election Day ballot he believed he would win by a 4% margin.
But he drowned in a major blue wave, losing to Democrat Kathy Hochul by 20 percentage points statewide, even failing to deliver Nassau, his home county, where he is still the top elected official.
What comes next in his career depends on several factors, experts and party insiders said, including what Blakeman wishes to do with his time.

The performers from Huntington Station's North Shore Dance, ages 8 to 18, danced on one of the most famous stages in the world, opening for the Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular.
It’s part of the Rockettes’ Sounds of Christmas program, which for more than 15 years has offered the opportunity to dance and voice students from the metropolitan region, including Long Island, to apply to be the opening act for the famed company. Other undisclosed Long Island arts companies will be featured as well.

When Meagan Pettit was 29, she found a lump under her arm. It was a triple-negative breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes.
"I felt like my life was potentially over," she recalled. "I did not know what to expect at the time. I did not know anyone else who had been diagnosed with cancer at such a young age."
The cancer treatment was grueling. Chemotherapy first claimed her hair. A mastectomy left her with a reconstructed breast that looked uneven due to radiation treatment. Lymphedema, a condition that causes chronic swelling, made her right arm larger than the other.
Of all the treatments, the shot that induced menopause was among the hardest to endure, she said. The symptoms left her with a debilitating mix of hot flashes and night sweats. She would rip off the blankets and turn on a fan only to turn off the fan and pull on the covers again when she got too cold.
Natural menopause occurs at age 52 on average in the United States, but some women experience symptoms decades earlier. POI, or premature ovarian insufficiency, and cancer treatments are two reasons.
