1. A two-vehicle crash in busy area of Lake Grove left a person with minor injuries on Monday afternoon, Suffolk police said. The crash happened on Middle Country and Moriches roads at 3:07 p.m.
2. Meet Max, Kona, Jinx & more. Smithtown area shelters have just what you are looking for in a pet. There are thousands of potential pets without a home. This is a great way to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family. Consider looking around at a local rescue agency like A Wing And A Prayer Animal Rescue, where Shelby the cat is waiting patiently. (Smithtown Patch)
