First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and less humid. High: 79, low: 62.

Here are the top stories in Riverhead today:

1. See adoptable pets in the Riverhead area. This week the area shelters are bursting with kittens, yes, fuzzy, little balls of love. Kittens of all colors, from various backgrounds. This is a must see, touch and cuddle. You can always foster if adoption is not right at this time. (Riverhead Patch)
2. Looking for full-time or part-time work in or around Riverhead? Check out this week's job openings. See more job openings on the Riverhead Patch jobs board. (Riverhead Patch)
3. The flag that hangs on the wall at the Suffolk County Historical Society Museum in Riverhead has historians speculating whether the 1775 flag was the first version of Old Glory. The flag is believed to be created by Captain John Hulbert of Bridgehampton in 1775. (Subscription: Newsday)
4. According to an announcement from New York Lottery on Sunday, a Take 5 ticket valued at more than $11,000 was sold at King Kullen, located at 460 County Road 111 in Manorville. (Daily Voice)
5. Police are searching for whomever stole a piece of equipment from a residential construction site in East Quogue, police said.
