Here are the top four stories today in Port Jefferson:

1. One of the topics discussed during the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association meeting at the Comsewogue Public Library was public safety. The session was held on Tuesday, Jan. 24. A Suffolk County officer discussed crimes in the area. Residents were concerned about the catalytic converters thefts that are on the rise in the neighborhood. Read the whole story here. (TBR News Media)
2. Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve is fifteen miles away from Port Jefferson. The drive would be worth it for those who want to enjoy the maple/sugaring classes on Sundays for just $5 per person! This unique event teaches native American techniques to obtain the maple and how to preserve it! What is good about this program is that it's open to all, which means that non-Smithtown residents are welcome to participate. Classes will be hosted on Feb. 19, Feb. 26, and March 5. I recommend you register before attending. (TBR News Media)
3. Port Jefferson Free Library invites kids aged 5-12 years to read to a dog on Feb. 1. Chester, the dog, loves to be around the kids. Kids will have a chance to read their favorite literature while hanging out with Chester! (PJFL)
4. Free live entertainment will be on Feb. 3 at Lucky Strike Bar & Lounge in Port Jefferson. The fun begins at 8 p.m. at 31 Chereb Lane. A special performance by guitarist Kerry Kearney will rock the night away. (Patch Events)
