🌱 Trial Over Setauket Patriots Parade + 14-Year-Old Dog Found

Morning, people of Miller Place-Rocky Point! It's me again, your host of the Miller Place-Rocky Point Daily.

First, today's weather:

Not as cold. High: 38 Low: 29.

Here are the top three stories today in Miller Place-Rocky Point:

1. A trial to decide whether a parade organized by the leader of the Setauket Patriots to honor those who died on 9/11 violated a code started today. James Robitsek, the founder of the pro-Trump group, is accused of holding the 2020 parade without a permit from the Village of Port Jefferson. (Patch)
2. An elderly dog missing for five days was found alive in Blue Point after surviving frigid temperatures. Alex is a 14-year-old beagle who was found in a crawl space near his home. (Greater Long Island)
3. A fish passage will fix a blocked natural breeding area for river herring traveling from the Peconic River that's prevented their movement for over a century. The $1 million fish passage being built this winter will provide access to more than 90 acres of fresh water that has been blocked by a dam and spillway on Little River for 150 years.
