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

1. The Suffolk County Department of Social Services will be relocating its Riverhead office to 605 Old Country Road in Riverhead: the former Kmart space. The county department will move into a part of the current space in spring 2023, according to the property’s owner. (Subscription: Newsday)
2. Suffolk Arrest Report: A man was arrested in Wyandanch and charged with third-degree grand larceny; in Brentwood, a man was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance: narcotic drug with intent to sell; and in Wyandanch, a man was charged with first-degree robbery. (Patch)
3. Suit seeks to stop Wainscott excavation for South Fork wind project. The subject of this turmoil isn’t even the wind turbines themselves, a 15-strong cluster called South Fork wind farm that would sit about 35 miles off Montauk, the extreme eastern end of New York’s Long Island. The prospect of this underground extension cable, which would help provide power to about 70,000 Long Island homes, has enraged Wainscott's property owners. (Subscription: Newsday)
4. Brookhaven Town officials honored a group of Rocky Point High School technology class students, who created a prosthetic hand for a 6-year-old Indonesian boy born with no fingers on his right hand. (Patch)
