Insurance Tips And Information

Article provided by Ken Marcus and Mitchell Barber

Keeping Your Insurance Rates ReasonableAlways Be Prepared

As horribly as inflation is sucking dollars from your wallet, the Insurance Industry is being triple vexed.

• Unemployment is at an historic low and the roads are packed with cars.

• Technology is distracting drivers causing more accidents on already packed roads.

• Technological additions to cars are making repairs more expensive and delaying repair times.

• Our litigious society is rife with more and more expensive insurance claims.

Unlike the past, the industry is not just

raising premiums. Most companies are actively NOT taking on new clients. Companies are selectively choosing NOT to take on any new risk. So, what you do after an accident is extremely important to keep your premiums down and your options open.

The Boy Scout MottoAlways be Prepared…

1. Put a dash-cam in the car. Nothing will help you keep rates down better then proving you were NOT AT FAULT.

2. Some policies offer Accident Forgiveness for an added expense. In the current environment, it’s worth it. Lost discounts, higher premiums and surcharges will far outstrip the cost of this extra coverage….. for a long time.

3. Prepare ALL drivers with on instructions for ‘What to do at an Accident.’ Keep a script in the visor. Call the police. Exchange information. Don’t admit guilt. Take photos of the SCENE (not just the damage). Take note of traffic cams and/or home surveillance cams.

Legislators Team Up With Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Campaign

Legislator Rose Marie Walker was joined by Deputy Presiding Officer Howard Kopel, Legislators Mazi Melesa Pilip, and Tom McKevitt, Deputy County Executive for Health & Human Services Anissa Moore, Dr. Irina Gelman, Commissioner of Health, Comptroller Elaine Phillips, Colette Coyne of Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Campaign, Garden City Dermatologist Dr. Ted Daly, and skin cancer survivors earlier today to discuss what steps can be taken to prevent Melanoma, the importance of regular check-ups, and other tips to stay safe in the sun in honor of Melanoma Awareness Month.

Nassau County Legislator Rose Marie Walker stated “As we head into the warmer weather, and spend our days at the park, a ballgame, or the beach, I want to remind everyone to take proactive measures by wearing sunscreen, hats, and UV clothing, even on cloudy days. This year an estimated 100,000 adults will be diagnosed with Melanoma, but early detection is key and can save lives. So be sure to schedule yearly check-ups to stay safe!”

The Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Campaign in conjunction with Nassau County, Belaray Dermatology and Garden City Dermatology are hosting FREE Skin Cancer Screenings on Saturday May 13, 2023, beginning at 9:00 AM during the 17th Annual Long Island Miles for MelanomaSteps to Stop Skin Cancer Walk in Eisenhower Park, parking field 2.

Club Recognizes Women’s Club Of Farmingdale 110th Birthday

On Wednesday, April 26, Thomas Sabellico, President of the Massapequa/ Farmingdale Men’s Club presented Barbara Hoerner, President of the Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCF), with a check for $110 to commemorate their momentous 110th birthday celebration.

The local men’s club was formed six years ago when Sabellico and fellow member Robert Diamond

were inspired to form a non-profit men’s club after hearing about the amazing and diverse projects of the WCF. The club sponsors annual monetary awards to graduating Farmingdale High School seniors currently totaling over $2,200, local blood drives and recently, through VFW Post 516, donated a brandnew scooter to a Viet Nam veteran who has Parkinson’s Disease. On June 26, they will

host a Night of Excellence where Men of Distinction awards will be bestowed.

The Women’s Club of Farmingdale, a local philanthropic organization, is always interested in welcoming new members. For more information, please email: lodaromanelli@gmail.com.

To The Friends & Neighbors of The Peninsula Golf Club and Local Civic Associations,

As you may be aware, the Town of Oyster Bay is moving forward with its plan to seize the Peninsula Golf Club (PGC) by eminent domain. This plan, which the Town approved in October 2021, has been the subject of local news reports that are not entirely correct and fail to give a complete picture of the proceedings to date.

Despite the Town’s stated reasons for their action, it is hard to imagine any net bene t to the public in seizing a privately-owned golf course that is open to the general public on a non-discriminatory basis, and that is operated at private expense, to make it a publicly-owned golf course that charges higher fees to guests from our neighboring towns and counties and operates at taxpayers expense. The Town has stated that it is acting to ensure that the property remains a golf course and is not developed into residential housing, but the fact is PGC has not offered or solicited offers to sell the club, nor has PGC made any attempt to disturb the restrictive covenant with Nassau County that has been in place for over 75 years. Instead, PGC has operated the club since 1947 as a public golf course in faithful adherence to the covenant, and it rejected the two unsolicited offers to purchase the club made in 2021, including an informal indication of interest by the Town before the eminent domain proceeding began.

As noted in our counsel’s letter, PGC has offered to address the Town’s concerns by granting a “right of rst refusal” that would give the Town the options to match any serious offer to purchase the course before PGC could conclude any sale to a third party. This solution should be more than sufficient to ensure that the Town’s stated concerns are fully addressed without the time and expense of litigation to both parties.

We appreciate your consideration of these points and ask that you reach out to your local Oyster Bay representatives to stop this unnecessary and costly seizure. The main phone number for Oyster Bay is (516) 624-6350.

Very truly yours,

The Board of Directors of the Peninsula Golf Club

The mission of P4P is to foster sustainable economic development by recycling bicycles and sewing machines from the US and shipping them to motivated people in the developing world. For many in the US, Belize is seen as an ideal vacation destination but beyond the beaches lies tremendous poverty. Approximately

A large percentage of this population is concentrated in the urban ghettos of the south-side of Belize City, specifically in the Port Loyola area. Many of these children live in poverty and are exposed to violence, crime, and civil unrest.
