Happy Tuesday, neighbors! Let's get you all caught up to start today off on an informed note.

First, today's weather:

Not as cold, becoming breezy. High: 43, low: 34.

Here are the top 5 stories in Three Village today:

  1. Reboli Center President Lois Reboli welcomes Hannah Niswonger as the artesian of March. Niswonger is praised for her pottery work in which she portrays a creative mix of designs and realistic animal figures.

Looking for a healthy alternative to that mid-week glass (or three) of wine? Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is "Drink like there's tomorrow.") Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks.

Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We've tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start. Betera has extended their 15 percent discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.

  • "Suffolk County Police Second Squad detectives are seeking the public's help to identify and locate the men who stole from a Commack store this month. Two men stole assorted items valued at more than $3,100 from Home Depot, located at 5025 Jericho Turnpike on Feb. 21. Suffolk County Crime Stoppers offers a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest. Anyone with information about these incidents can contact Suffolk County Crime Stoppers to submit an anonymous tip by calling 1-800-220-TIPS." (smithtownmatters.com)
  • "Long concentrated in its stronghold of Mineola, Portuguese and Brazilian food — known for heroic presentations of grilled and barbecued meat — has been spilling east across Long Island. While the Brazilian chain Fogo De Chao has grabbed the spotlight as of late, the cuisine has much more quietly arrived in Kings Park. The Gardens of Portugal takes up residence where Long River Restaurant used to be on the corner of Main Street and Indian Head Road." (Newsday/Subscription Required)
