Stone vies for Manorhaven trustee

Continued from Page 1 board, he would want to bring transparency and initiative, establish respectful decorum, listen to community input and establish a balanced, on-time budget with sensible spending.

“That’s the way to run government –treat people with respect,” Stone said. “I’m not a magician, but I know what’s right and wrong and I bring some common sense into the equation. What comes out of it is something that could be a real beautiful thing.”

He said that if elected, he would work hard to serve the residents and would not quit.

“Manorhaven needs to be revisioned, needs new, fresh ideas,” Stone said.

Stone is challenging incumbents Costa and Shahipour as the three vie for the two trustee seats up for election.

Costa is finishing his one-year term as deputy mayor which he started in July 2022. Shahipour was brought onto the board in July 2022 to serve a one-year term.

Efforts to contact Costa and Shahipour were unavailing.

The village will also be voting for a village justice, with incumbent William Bodkin the only candidate running for the seat.

Bodkin was appointed as the village justice in February to fill a vacancy.

The Manorhaven election will be held from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. on June 20 at Village Hall at 33 Manorhaven Blvd.

Sands Point will also be holding an election in June, with only incumbents running unopposed.

Sands Point Mayor Peter Forman, Deputy Mayor Jeffrey Moslow and Trustee Elena Karabatos will all be running for re-election.

Efforts to contact the three candidates were unavailing.

The three incumbents are running on the Citizens Party line.

Forman was elected as mayor in 2021, moving up from the village’s deputy mayor position. Moslow was appointed as a trustee to the village’s board in 2019. Karabatos was elected in 2021.

Sands Point’s elections will be held from noon until 9 p.m. on June 20 at village hall at 26 Tibbits Lane.
