🌱 Center Moriches-Eastport Daily: Missing Teen + Free N95s

Up and at 'em, Center Moriches-Eastport! Diane Witek here with everything you need to know to get this Thursday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Rain, then snow, 1-2 inches. High: 37, low: 16.

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

1. Jordain Baskerville, 16, left the Timothy Hill Children's Ranch on Sunday without permission. Jordain is white, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 150 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair; he was last seen wearing a black bubble jacket, jeans and black shoes, police said. Anyone with information about his location is asked to call Riverhead Police at 631-727-4500. (Riverhead Patch)
2. Services for Gracelyn Jane Perkowski, 4, who died Sunday after being critically injured in a Flanders crash, is scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. at St. John the Evangelist R.C. Church, located at 546 Marcy Ave. in Riverhead. Burial will follow at St. Isidore Cemetery. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Stony Brook Children's Hospital. A GoFundMe page, "Gracie's Family Needs Your Help," was created by Olivia Kneski of Riverhead. "As a community we must come together to help Gracelyn's family during this difficult time," she wrote. (Riverhead Patch)
3. N95s are coming our way! We are all requesting free at-home COVID tests, so it makes sense that N95s would come next. The Biden administration plans to give out 400 million free N95 masks in the coming weeks. The free masks will be made available to the public at thousands of local pharmacies and community health centers nationwide starting late next week, according to a White House official, and will mark "the largest deployment of personal protective equipment in U.S. history."
