1. Ronkonkoma man accused in Selden 2022 double slaying. Brian Cordovano, 48, was arrested Wednesday in a traffic stop in Smithtown.

From my notebook:

• Sachem Schools: At its Feb. 8 meeting, the Sachem Board of Education established the creation of the Harrison Frisenda Memorial Scholarship. Harrison Frisenda was a Waverly Elementary School student who was described as someone with “a kind personality, a caring personality and a wonderful smile that lit up a room.” (Facebook)

Alrighty, you're all caught up for today! I'll see you soon.
