Hey, people of Patchogue! It's me again, Debora Whitehead, your host of the Patchogue Daily.

First, today's weather:

Winds becoming strong. High: 59, low: 53.

Here are the top 5 stories today in Patchogue:

1. On March 29, Two Morrow's Pub celebrated its grand opening in Patchogue under new owners.

4. Nearby News: Police are searching for a driver who was responsible for a hit-and-run that left a 20 year old critically injured in Bellmore. The woman was crossing Sunrise Highway and Bedford Avenue when she was struck around 10:50 p.m. on Tuesday. Police are asking anyone with information regarding the incident to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. (News12)
5. On March 25, Legislator Stephanie Bontempi from Centerport, along with other elected officials from the town, gathered to prevent a ban on fuel and oil connections in new construction. “Seeing the increasing use of cleaner energy technologies is a positive thing, but we cannot pretend that everything older can be replaced overnight. Newer technologies replacing older ones need to be adopted in stages so that we can properly adapt to the changes and ensure we are getting a better product or service in the end,” said Bontempi.
