Happy Tuesday, Center Moriches-Eastport! It's me, Diane Witek, your host of the Center Moriches - East Port Daily. Here are the top 3 stories in Center Moriches - East Port today.

First, today's weather:

Mostly cloudy and not as cool. High: 51, low: 36.

Here are the top stories in Center Moriches-Eastport today:

1. It's a new year (almost)! Perhaps it's finally time to adopt a pet! Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've rounded up this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. Whether you're looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. If you're a dog person, you might like Kimber, a Mixed Breed up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. (The Patch)
2. Two teenage boys are missing from Timothy Hill Children’s Ranch in Riverhead. Ja-wan Groover, 15, and Anthony Salinas, 17, left the Timothy Hill facility on Middle Road on Christmas Eve at around 12 noon. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Ja-wan Groover and Anthony Salinas is asked to contact the Riverhead Police Department at (631)727-4500. (RiverheadLOCAL)
3. The Wading River family that received a Christmas miracle two years ago when their first baby, Ruby June, received a heart transplant continue to wait for a second miracle — their second child, Everett, also needs a new heart. (Riverhead Patch)
