🌱 Huntington Daily: Centerport Burglary + Mother's Day Gift Guide

Morning, people of Huntington! Andrew Tessler here with a fresh edition of the Huntington Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and windy. High: 60 low: 43.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Huntington:

1. Mother’s Day 2022 Gifts: Patch moms answer our questions on what to get them. As Mother's Day approaches quickly, don't wait until the last minute to get your mom a gift. We have asked Patch moms what their ideal gift would be, and many had different answers. Our favorite answer was "My toddler keeps me running around all the time and doesn't sleep, so any time I can have to take care of myself, anything to feel pampered even just for an hour — mani/pedi, hair blown out, restaurant gift card so I don't have to cook, or just an offer to watch him for one hour." Read the full article to see what you can get your mom that's around the Huntington area. (Huntington Patch)
2. Centerport home broken into Tuesday night. The incident occurred at 9:42 p.m. at a home on Cobblestone Ct. when the thief broke into the home and stole jewelry. The person is wanted for second-degree burglary. (Patch)
3. Police rescue windsurfer from water in Cold Spring Harbor. A man in distress in the water of Cold Spring Harbor after high winds caused his gear to not function properly. The man was near exhaustion and had possible hypothermia and was rescued and brought to a local hospital for treatment. (News 12 Brooklyn)
