Good morning,
We have coverage of a serious rollover crash in East Patchogue and an update on Suffolk County's search for suspects in a string of CVS cosmetics thefts, including one in Bayport.
There's plenty on the calendar too, from a Bartenders Challenge fundraiser pitting a county legislator against a local reverend to a "Big Night" screening and Italian feast at Plaza Cinema, plus a few rescheduled and postponed events worth noting before you make plans.
