Ruth Semon Fahlbusch, a lifelong Huntington resident known around town for the smile that accompanied her nearly everywhere she traveled, including many parades and events that she loved photographing, died peacefully on Dec. 7. She was 91.

Though unseasonably warm weather may make it seem like winter’s never coming, town officials are preparing for the worst. The Town of Huntington has spent more than $2.42 million on upgrades and additions to its highway department over the last two years in an effort to prepare for the winter season.

 Suffolk police released video surveillance images of three people they believe were responsible for spray-painting graffiti on businesses in Huntington village last month.
