Thanks to funding secured by Brookhaven Deputy Town Supervisor Dan Panico, in cooperation with Suffolk County Legislator James Mazzarella, new progress is being made on the construction of outdoor library programming space at the soon-to-open Mastic Beach satellite branch.
The Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Community Library is presently converting and expanding the former Mastic Beach Village Hall at 369 Neighborhood Road into a new, 7,000-square-foot,satellite branch. Directly across the street, at 366 Neighborhood Road, the library is leasing county property to create a park-like venue that will host a variety of outdoor library programmingsuch as performances, concerts, children’s activities, yoga, and more. The 30-year lease – which includes two 10-year extensions – will cost the library just $10 a year.
Funding from Deputy Town Supervisor Panico was used to demolish two blighted buildings, including asbestos abatementof the structures, that stood on the property. Demolition occurred on October 13 and 14.
“With the creation of our new satellite branch at the former Mastic Breach Village Hall, residents will soon enjoy convenient access to state-of-theart library services,” said MasticsMoriches-Shirley Community Library Director Kerri Rosalia. “We are grateful to Town of Brookhaven Deputy Supervisor Dan Panico and Suffolk County Legislator James Mazzarella for making it possible for the library district to construct park-like programming space across the
street. This additional parcel will serve as a value-added feature of the new Mastic Beach satellite branch.”
“The new Mastic Beach satellite branch library will help invigorate the Neighborhood Road streetscape, stimulate local economic development, and improve library access, safety, and convenience for children, teens, adults, and seniors,” said MasticsMoriches-Shirley Community Library Board President Joseph Maiorana. “We’re also creating supplemental, outdoor programming space through a long-term lease with Suffolk County for a parcel of land across the street. The library district applauds Deputy Supervisor Panico and County Legislator Mazzarella for successfully advocating for the resources needed to clear and remediate the property.”
"First, to commence I want to thank the Library Board, our elected officials and the Greater Mastic Beach Chamber of Commerce (GMBCOC) for their collaborative efforts which will ensure the development of a safe, secure and learning park for the residents of our community,”
added Ava Torres, President, Greater Mastic Beach Chamber of Commerce. “The utilization of this space will not only enhance Main Street but will afford residents the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities and provide much needed socialization for all age groups. The GMBCOC looks forward to working with the library on future projects in 2023."
“Suffolk County remains committed to partnering with the Town of Brookhaven to bring about initiatives and accomplish goals that are important to our community,” remarked Suffolk County Legislator Jim Mazzarella. “This demolition by Town personnel of two blighted structures on County property will make way for outdoor recreational space.”
“The property at 366 Neighborhood Road was leased to the Community Library across the street at a nominal fee to help facilitate the development of outdoor programming,” continued Mazzarella. “As the community works together, we will continue on a path to beautify and invigorate downtown Mastic Beach.”

On October 10, Supervisor Ed Romaine was a guest at the Court of Honor ceremony for new Eagle Scout Harry Ovanessian from Boy Scout Troop 29 in East Moriches. The event was held at Soldiers and Sailors Park. Pictured left to right are Troop 29 Committee Chairman, Paul Hanies; Supervisor Romaine; Eagle Scout Harry Ovanessian; and Harry’s mother and father Jessica and John Ovanessian.
“Leadership, hard work, and dedication to the community are what it means to be an
Eagle Scout,” said Supervisor Romaine. “I commend Andrew for his achievement. He is a wonderful example for younger Scouts and his peers to look up to.”
Since the award was presented in 1912, no more than four percent of all Scouts have attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than two million young men.
On September 21, Councilman Neil Foley was in Blue Point to lead the ceremony to dedicate the corner of Buffin Lane and Abrams Court in the name of Christopher A. Coluccio, who was 14 years old at the time of his passing. Councilman Foley spoke fondly about Christopher and provided comforting words to the family and friends who
gathered for the ceremony. He said, “Today we honor a wonderful soul whose legacy will live on through our memories of his life. I also think of the love that joins all of us together with Christopher’s family and how his passing touched an entire community. He is greatly missed by all who knew him and loved him.”
New York State 4th District Assemblyman Steve Englebright is asking voters to send him back to Albany to continue representing them as their voice in the State Capitol. In pursuit to occupy the seat is Port Jefferson Village resident, Edward Flood. Englebright will appear on the Democrat and Working Family Party lines of the ballot Flood will appear on the Republican and Conservative lines of the ballot.
Flood is an attorney who owns his private law practice. Flood is also lead prosecutor for the Town of Brookhaven's Law Department. Englebright was elected to the Assembly on February 19th, 1992 until present. He is the Chair of the Assembly Committee on Environmental Conservation since 2015, and also sits on the Education, Energy, Higher Education, and Rules Committees. Englebright is a geologist by training, and the only known elected natural scientist in the Assembly.
Englebright said he is seeking reelection to continue making a difference for the people in the community. "I offer my record and hope the people will exercise their right to vote and allow me the privilege to serve the community I love," Englebright said.
Touting his environment record, Englebright notes he helped lead the effort to preserve the Pine Barrens. "We are the largest groundwater source of pure, unspoiled drinking water," Englebright explained. The Pine Barrens is the oldest forest in New York State that was exposed after the glacial withdrawal, he added, while the rest of Upstate was still covered under the glacier. Expanding on his environmental record, Englebright said he is a "leading proponent for the use of clean, renewable energy" and authorized the state's first solar and wind net-metering laws.
On the issue of arms. Englebright told South Shore Press in an interview last weekend, "I am a very strong proponent of restraining the access of guns for dangerous individuals, and reducing the number of guns circulating in the mainstream. "I was aghast at the U.S. Supreme Court's decision with respect to the Sullivan Law, and that conceal and carry was stricken down as unconstitutional," Englebright said. "We, in the New York Legislature attempt to create new laws to protect for continued safety and assurance that hidden hand guns are not circulating as the new standard. This is ridiculous," Englebright said. Referencing the string of massacres in Uvalde, Buffalo and Sandy Hook as examples, Englebright emphasized the "need for comprehensive background checks." The Assemblyman added, "I'm proud of the F rating I was given by the National Rifle Association."
Addressing New York’s crumbling infrastructure, Englebright said, "I led the effort for repaving the Long Island Expressway this year." Englebright said he circulated the letter that was signed on to by state lawmakers for the LIE, and Routes 25A and 112 to be repaved. "We live in the land of the automobile where people rely on the roads to be safe for commerce and work," he said.
Englebright reminds voters to "flip the ballot" when they go to the polls on November 8th to consider a Constitutional Amendment, also known as the Green Amendment, that he says "will guarantee every citizen has the right to clean air and water."
On the issue of Roe v Wade, Englebright says, "My record is clear: we codified Roe v Wade in New York. I believe very strongly government has no place in the decision of whether a woman and her doctor need to consult with a politician on a very difficult decision, and also on a (U.S. Supreme) Court that has been stacked with this decision
I believe," Englebright said, "that decision is a personal one and a medical one, made between a woman and her doctor."
Being a majority member of the State Assembly, Englebright says, makes him best poised to continue serving. "Being a member of a majority voice in Albany that actually matters, I'm in a senior position of the majority conference. I feel that my record will pass muster," Englebright continued, "and the fact that the people have elected me indicates their satisfaction. I look forward to serving this community and state going forward."
This is not Flood's first time up at bat for elected office. He ran for, and was defeated in a bid for a seat on the Suffolk County Legislature five years ago.
Flood offered an array of reasons why he feels he will make the better candidate to serve constituents of the 4th Assembly District. "I have five kids. New York is less safe and less affordable, yet people keep electing the same people with the same results," Flood said. "We need to repeal or replace bail reform," he continued. "I understand the concept of not keeping low level criminals sitting in jail, but when you have a major fentanyl or heroin bust, that person is let out of jail in three or four days." Flood pointed out that giving judges no discretion is, in essence, handcuffing them. "We elect judges for a reason, yet bail laws as they are now keep perpetuating the cycle of crime."
"Staggering inflation,"
Flood notes, "needs to be addressed. Congestion pricing (in New York City), is a back door price on Long Island. Lower Manhattan is not congested with Long Island drivers. Imports have to go through the boroughs so the trickle down increases are to the consumers," he said, adding, "It's the MTS's budget!"
On abortion rights Flood assures. "Abortion has been codified in New York so it's not going anywhere. I'm pro life," Flood added, "but I'm opposed to abortion after 12-
15 weeks."
Flood asserts more has to be done to remove guns off the streets from criminals who illegally possess firearms. "We should be putting restrictions in place and doing a better job of getting illegal guns off the streets, securing the southern border where fentanyl is coming into this country, and how we police."
Flood maintains he's the better candidate in this race. "I'm focused on the needs of constituents, where my opponent is a one-issue candidate with his environmental record. His green deal is driving costs up," Flood said. "I have a much better feel for what constituents need, and for their concerns, which are mainly focused on massive rising crime, and I want to be there to represent the constituents and make the changes that we need to make in Albany."
Nicholas LaLota and Bridget Fleming are in a race to win the 1st Congressional District on November 8th. The seat is being vacated by GOP incumbent Lee Zeldin who is the Republican Gubernatorial candidate against Democrat incumbent Kathy Hochul. LaLota, chief of staff to the Suffolk County Legislature, is running on the Republican and Conservative lines of the ballot. He is married with three daughters. Fleming, the Legislator serving Suffolk County's Second District, is running on the Democrat and Working Family Party lines of the ballot. Fleming is married with one son, and an English Springer Spaniel family pet.
Prior to his appointment as chief of staff, LaLota was a Commissioner for the Suffolk County Board of Elections. LaLota attended the US Naval Academy at Annapolis. Upon his return to his native Long Island, in 2013 he was appointed to serve on the Amityville Village Board. He subsequently ran for and won elections in 2014 and 2015 with a platform to reduce taxes while improving village services. As Amityville Village Budget Officer presiding over four budgets, spending plans were within the limits of the 2% Property Tax Cap, while accruing upgrades by Moodys Investor Services and Standard & Poors.
During interviews with the candidates last week, each offered the direction they plan to take the 1st Congressional District if elected.
Asked why he is running for election, LaLota attributes his record of public service to his family tree: his father was a Nassau County police officer, both grandfathers were members of New York Police Department, and his brother is a retired marine. "I want to help with the economic issues Long Island is facing," LaLota said. "For decades, Long Island has had high taxes, and now with inflation, it's becoming very difficult to stay on Long Island."
LaLota doubled down on
America's present energy policies: "Our policy ideas need to be changed," LaLota explained. "America needs better, more coherent energy policies and if elected, I will introduce a bill to make America less energy dependent. Right now, we are sitting on $43.8 billion of crude." LaLota asserts America should be tapping into domestic reserves instead of continuing dependence on Venezuela and Russia as America's energy sources. "We have to stop the skyrocketing cost of gas." LaLota also criticizes
trimester," LaLota said, "but I do oppose abortion in the second and third trimesters."
Other issues LaLota touched on include freeing up supply chain issues, creating renewable energy technology jobs on Long Island, supporting good jobs, looking for ways to keep costs down by capping state and local tax deductions, and keeping health care and housing costs down.
Fleming served as an Assistant District Attorney for DA Robert Morganthau in Manhattan for a decade.
On the issue of gun control, Fleming is a staunch proponent for banning assault weapons. "Speaking as a former prosecutor and as a Legislator who fights to keep our communities safe, every community has the right to live without fear, and we have to have common sense measures in place," Fleming said. Fleming said she will champion banning high velocity assault weapons, she supports universal background checks and red flag laws that set parameters where people with mental health issues should not have access to firearms.
A supporter of law enforcement, Fleming stated, "I have full confidence in our police and opposed the implementation of bail reform. Bail reform happened so quickly and as a former prosecutor, I was surprised that victims advocates' voices weren't heard." She added, "Taking discretion away from judges is problematic and troublesome."
Washington spending: "They're overspending in Washington DC, and I would balance the budget and stop overspending."
LaLota's stance on guns and street crimes is firm: "America has to secure federal funds so we can hire more cops on the streets and give the local departments the resources they need to keep communities safe and illegal guns off the streets," LaLota explained.
On the issue of bail reform, LaLota told South Shore Press, "I oppose the democratic bail reform laws and support giving judges discretion to keep dangerous criminals behind bars while they await trial. We have to keep our communities safer," LaLota said, "and right now the public is paying a high price for the way Hochul and the Democrats are coddling criminals."
LaLota is outspoken on his views relating to abortion. "My opponent's stance on abortion is radical. I do not oppose abortion in cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in danger, or in the first
Fleming was elected to the Southampton Town Board in a special election in 2010, and was reelected in 2011 where she would continue to serve until 2015. While serving on the Southampton Town Board, Fleming was a proponent for economic growth, government accountability, and a staunch advocate for the environment. She highlights her efforts in creating landmark legislation that protects working farms. Fleming touts her fiscal record with an eye on responsibe spending: "As a local elected official," Fleming explained, "I have a record of working to keep taxes low, and I helped move Southampton Town's $10 million deficit to an AAA bond rating, which significantly reduced the cost of government."
A hallmark of her campaign and calling the state and local tax (SALT), reduction capped at $10,000 a "hit on Long Island families," Fleming told South Shore Press in an interview last weekend, "When I'm in Congress, I'll fight to bring back the deduction for state and local tax."
With numerous issues on the table and at stake, Fleming summed up her reasons for seeking election to Congress: "I'm running, in part, because I recognize our fundamental freedoms are under threat. For the first time in history, women's reproductive rights and fundamental freedoms are being taken away. I will stand up for working families who are feeling tremendous pressure in this economy. I will fight to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, and I will address the housing crisis. Inflation feels like a pay cut," Fleming added, "and we need to continue to address that. The pandemic was a shock to the global economy, and under the American Rescue Plan a lot of cash was infused into the economy. Now, we have to address and reduce inflation."
On November 8, the majority of the voting electorate will decide who will represent them and be their voice in Washington. Both sides say they are campaigning and meeting constituents in their efforts to have their views on the issues heard, in hopes they will resonate with voters.

New York State Assemblyman
Fred Thiele, Jr., 69, is seeking reelection and is being challenged by Peter Ganley, 26. Thiele will appear on the Democrat and Working Family Party lines of the ballot. Ganley will appear on the Republican and Conservative lines.
Thiele's political career and record of public service began in 1979 as counsel to former Assemblyman John Behan. Thiele subsequently served as Southampton Town Attorney (1982-1987), and was elected to the Suffolk County Legislature in 1987. In 1991 he was elected Southampton Town Supervisor. Thiele was subsequently elected to the New York State Assembly in 1995 where he has been serving consecutive two year terms.
Ganley, who has not held elected office, was defeated in a prior run for election. He worked for Congressman Lee Zeldin addressing Constituent Service, and was the Field Director for the Congressman's 2020 reelection campaign.
Ganley is a proponent for term limits and supports implementation of a cap on four terms. "My opponent has been in office longer than I have been alive," Ganley said. "I'm a supporter of term limits because my opponent has been in office longer than I've been alive, and he's a good example of why we need term limits, Ganley added. "
Countering Ganley's assertions and referencing his record of accomplishments, Thiele told South Shore Press in an interview last weekend: "I don't consider my proven record
and my ability to get things done as a reason for term limits. It's not about how many years you're in office - it's what you do with those years, and the voters have rewarded me by honoring me with their votes. So I have nothing to apologize for," Thiele said. "We don't need term limits because if the people are not
Thank God Congressman Zeldin’s family and neighbors are safe, and our heart goes out to the communities that live with this day in and day out. How many more people have to be shot before Hochul and her cohorts wake up to the fact that their soft-oncrime agenda is having deadly results?
mate, a former New York City police officer quite familiar with the horrendous results of the Progressive policies, jumped in with other brave citizens and subdued the attacker.
happy with you, then they'll vote you out."
Thiele outlined his agenda of priorities if he is reelected on November 8th. He said he's working with Suffolk County officials on the Forge River Sewer District to implement a plan to help ease the financial burden for small businesses to hook into the sewer system by providing access to a combination of grants and no-interest loans. "This is an important project, but it's also important that we provide funding opportunities to small businesses to hook into the sewer district," Thiele said.
he approaches retirement age, Mr. Thiele is buying a home in North Carolina, and that's disingenuous to the voters." Offered the opportunity to refute his opponent's remarks, Thiele stated, "When I got married in 2014, my wife and I both owned our own homes, so my wife sold hers and we built a second house. But," Thiele added, "Sag Harbor will always be my home - I'm not moving, and I'm not retiring, but I am making plans for when I retire as we all do." Thiele continued, "I appreciate that if you don't have qualifications, you start attacking your opponent, but what he's saying is an out right lie," Thiele said.
Statement by Assemblyman Joe DeStefanoThe crime wave brought to us by Gov. Kathy Hochul and her Progressive Liberal colleagues has made national headlines once again by the shooting outside the home of Congressman Lee Zeldin who, thankfully, is running against Hochul on an anti-crime platform. With bullets flying no less than 30 feet from where the congressman’s daughters were studying for school, it’s time we take a final, last stand against the pro-criminal policies of the Democrats.
Controlling state government from their crimeridden stronghold in New York City, the Democrats have enacted bail laws that let criminals run wild. They have defunded the police and they have put the men and women of law enforcement in the crosshairs with their rhetoric and anti-law and order platform. No wonder criminals think it’s okay to start blasting away in our once-peaceful neighborhoods.
This was not the first time Congressman Zeldin was the victim of the Democratinspired crimewave. While campaigning to send Hochul packing and save untold lives by reversing her policies, he was attacked by an assailant who tried to stab him in the neck. Thankfully, his running
Sadly, we will also never forget EMS officer Alison Russo-Elling recently killed while on duty and the escalating rash of attacks on police and other public servants both here in New York and nationwide where Democrats are in power.
Until we get these people out of office, the murders, armed robberies, car jackings, gang assaults and other heinous crimes will continue in a state where our top elected leaders do nothing and obviously don’t give a damn.
Election Day is November 8 and it is my sincere hope that the voters go to the polls in droves with a mindset of change. Our own Lee Zeldin has put everything on the line to defeat Hochul and her procriminal agenda and I urge everyone to vote for change. Rampant crime and the politicians who aid and abet it have no place in our society.
His record includes securing $250,000 in capital funding while the Mastics-MorichesShirley Community Library undergoes expansion, and he also provided support for the library's literacy program. Thiele served on the library's advisory board for about 15 years before stepping down in order to provide funding to the literary institution. "For me, I thought I could better serve the library by stepping down from the advisory board in order to secure funding, because by law," Thiele explained. "you can't do both." Thiele also touts his record of securing record numbers of state aid dollars to William Floyd Schools and other of his constituent districts.
Ganley said he's running for the office to "make a positive impact" on the community. "The East End is changing where people my age are moving out of state because the pay here doesn't go far," Ganley said. "The issue is that the people have to borrow, they raise debt, they work hard and they can't afford to stay on Long Island." Ganley said he has been knocking on doors and hearing that traffic issues have not been solved. "As people are moving out, we're becoming a community of second homeowners in this district," Ganley stated. “Even a long time Assemblyman is packing up and leaving," Ganley said. "As
On the issue of crime and gun control, Ganley said, "I'm a believer of the Second Amendment. Ninety percent of crimes are committed by people who have purchased illegal hand guns and honestly," Ganley continued, "I'm a supporter of red flag laws so we can keep guns out of the hands of violent criminals." Thiele asserts bail laws need to be changed. "Certainly, bail reforms went too far," Thiele said. "I support rolling back and modifying bail laws to give judges more discretion," Thiele said. Ganley says there needs to be a "full repeal" of bail laws that are currently in place. Ganley said the goal of the GOP is to "get to 51 seats in the Assembly to break the supermajority (of Democrats)" in order to get bills passed.
The candidates explained why each is better qualified to serve constituents of the 1st Assembly District. "I think it's my record of accomplishments and the fact that I’m in the community listening to my constituents and getting results, and, "Thiele added, "I have demonstrated that I can work with my colleagues across the aisle for Long Island on a bipartisan basis."
Said Ganley: "I am an independent voice, I was my party's nominee, and I'm running a high energy campaign knocking on doors and meeting voters. Probably the number one issue voters are talking about is violent crime, and cashless bail where people are arrested, then released and they get rearrested," Ganley said. "People are talking a lot about local issues like affordable housing, taxes, and the high price to stay here," Ganley said, "and my work ethic and independent voice for people of the East End are what make me best qualified and able to get things done."

“Ian shows the risks and costs of living on barrier islands,” was the headline of an Associated Press story this month in the wake of Hurricane Ian. The article was datelined Sanibel Island, Florida— decimated by Ian. But it applies to all construction built in the teeth of the sea, with buildings on barrier islands and beaches—such as we have here, too—especially vulnerable.
“Hurricane Ian underscores the vulnerability of the nation’s barrier islands and the increasing costs of people living on the thin strips of land that parallel the coast. As hurricanes become more destructive, experts question whether such exposed communities can keep rebuilding in the face of climate change,” said the AP article.
The lesson of Hurricane Ian to this area? “I really hope it’s a
for development, experts say. They typically form as waves deposit sediment off the mainland. And they move based on weather patterns and other ocean forces. Some even disappear. Building on the islands and holding them in place with beach replenishment programs just makes them more vulnerable to destruction because they can no longer move, according to experts.” Indeed, having barrier beaches flexible enough to move when hit by storms is critical for them in protecting the mainland.
This is where I came in as a journalist in Suffolk County back 60 years ago. Robert Moses had just announced a plan to build a fourlane highway on the length of Fire Island. He claimed it would “anchor” the beach.
In 1962, there weren’t the experts
2. "I’m seeing homes in the ocean," said René J. Roy of Newfoundland, chief editor of the newspaper there, Wreckhouse Press. "I’m seeing rubble floating all over the place. It’s complete and utter destruction."
On his website “Informed Comment,” University of Michigan Professor Juan Cole took issue with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis saying Ian was a “once-in-a-500year flood event.” It is “the new normal,” said Cole. And the “ocean water up north is no longer…cold…. so hurricanes can remain strong all the way up to New York, Boston and even Newfoundland.”

Usually at this time of year the fan bases of the Giants and Jets have already given up on the NFL season, and (sorry for this) the Mets fan base has also watched their team report to the golf course. Mid October has meant a change in the sports mindset for most New Yorkers for years, but this year things are different. The Yankees are playing into October, New York has plenty of excitement surrounding both of their football teams, which means hockey takes a back seat. But, it shouldn't.
While the Jets and Giants recent play has brought an enthusiastic look to the future, the reality is no one expects a deep playoff run from either of these upstarts. The NHL however is quite different and, outside of the Yankees, might be the best hope New York has for a championship. The line makers opened up the betting market with the Rangers coming in at 20 to 1, while the Islanders sit at 45 to 1.
The Rangers jumped out of
the gates this year with a few impressive wins and that 20 to 1 is starting to seem like a bargain. The Blue Shirts are actually the 5th best team in their conference with odds and Igor once again, will lead the way. Shesterkin had a phenomenal season last year and odds makers took notice. He comes in at +250 to win the Vezina trophy, given to the best goalie in the league, while the perennial favorite Andrei Vasilevskiy has double those odds. Igor also has 25 to 1 odds to win the Hart trophy, given to the MVP of the league, and Artemi Panarin is listed at 55 to 1. For the Islanders, Mathew Barzal is their highest lined player for MVP at 70 to 1.
So, while we all have our eyes on the young and now exciting New York football teams let's not forget the boys on the ice. The Rangers gave us some thrills last season, the Islanders have been a tough out in the playoffs for years, and now it might be time for it to all come together and bring the Cup home to the Big Apple.

For the charitably inclined, there is always a question of how to most efficiently leave money to charities in your estate plan. Charitable giving ranges from simple small monetary amounts to more complicated charitable trusts. No matter the option, there are potential income tax and estate tax implications to consider.
Leaving a specific bequest in your Will or Trust is one common type of charitable gift. You leave a set amount to a charity of your choosing at the time of your death. For those that want to cap the amount that is given to charity, this is a good option. These specific bequests are paid out first, off the top of the estate. Thus, if you only have $100,000 in your estate and leave specific bequests totaling $100,000, there will not be any assets left to the residuary beneficiaries. Usually, the residuary portion of an estate is the largest. But not always and especially not if you do not correctly allocate your assets.
Residuary beneficiaries are those that receive a percentage or fractional distribution of the “rest, residue, and
remainder” of your estate. Take the example above, if your total estate assets equal $300,000, then after the $100,000 charitable bequests, your residuary beneficiaries receive the remaining $200,000. A charity can also be one of your residuary beneficiaries, in which case the charity would receive a fractional share of your choosing.
In certain circumstances, it is beneficial to include a "disclaimer to charity." You would add a provision in your Will or Trust directing that any “disclaimed” amount of your estate goes to charity. This is done for estate tax planning purposes. If your estate is more than 105% over the New York State estate tax exemption amount ($6.11 million in 2022), you then “fall off the cliff.” This means that your estate will receive no exemption and the entire estate taxed from dollar one. However, if your Will or Trust has a disclaimer provision, any amount that a beneficiary rejects goes to the charities that you listed. That gift to charity serves to reduce your taxable estate, moving it back under “the cliff” and saving a great deal in taxes. This is an especially useful tactic for those with estates that are on the cusp of the exemption amount.
Another method of charitable giving is gifting tax-deferred retirement assets. While you are still living, you can gift from your retirement account up to $100,000 per year as a qualified charitable distribution. Making the gift directly to the charity removes the required minimum distribution from your taxable income. There are some pitfalls to avoid. Not all plans qualify for this type of distribution, not all
charities are considered “qualified,” you cannot receive a benefit in exchange for the distribution (ex. a ticket to a charity concert), and you must gift the funds directly from the retirement account to the charity.
In addition to charitable gifting from a retirement account during your lifetime, you can list charities as afterdeath beneficiaries of your accounts. If
you have a mixture of individuals and charities as beneficiaries, you may want to leave the retirement assets to the charities. This saves your individual beneficiaries from paying income tax on distributions. Especially in light of the SECURE Act, which requires that most beneficiaries of retirement account withdraw all the funds within ten years. The income tax consequences for such beneficiaries may be steep if there is a large retirement account.
While there are several charitable giving options, each person will need to navigate a solution that suits them best. An experienced estate planning attorney will take into account the size of the estate, potential tax liabilities, how much you want to leave to charity, and your other beneficiaries. With proper planning, you can ensure your gifts go as far as possible to benefit the charities that you hold dear.

Fear is an unpleasant emotion or thought that you have when you are frightened or worried that something dangerous, painful, or bad, will happen. Being afraid is feeling fear or feeling worry about the possible results of a particular situation.
Fear is our survival response to a threat or danger. It is an emotion that warns all living beings of danger and which in turn allows them to take necessary action in order to shield themselves against potential threats. Some people thrive on it, such as those who go on a roller coaster or haunted houses, while others avoid it.
Fear is physical in that it triggers your brain to have your body release hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, increasing your heart rate and blood pressure. Those physical changes are preparing your body to Fight or Flee.
The most common fear
is Fear of the unknown. For example, most people are afraid of death. Many combat veterans fear the transition from the military more than they fear the possibility of another combat

deployment. Actually most military personnel fear this transition because they do not know what’s facing them. When they entered the military they faced the unknown, but with at
least twenty others facing it with them. Thus there is a natural group working together to get through that unknown period. However upon discharge they are alone. The answer to help
them is reaching out to other veterans who have gone through the process or the Veterans Affairs where they have been trained to help veterans go through the process.
One of the top purposes of Veteran organizations is to bring vets together to help each other. These are top priorities for the American Legion, Veteran’s of Foreign wars and the American Veterans. These Veterans can help in a couple of ways. They have gone through the problems such as fear and understand them and can help those who need help facing problems. One of the best methods to solve these problems is to simply talk with someone about them. Holding in the fear only strengthens it, making it harder to handle. If it is unresolved it gets stronger and it can become a phobia. Mark Twain stated, “Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it."
Going back centuries, journals of seafarers are peppered with language indicating that they knew the Earth was round. “In the offing” meant, and means today, the waters you can see from where you are to the horizon. “Ahoy, captain, vessel off the starboard bow! Hull down, sir.” might yell the Look-Out from the crow’s nest aloft. This meant that all he could see from his vantage point were the sails – the ship’s hull was still below the horizon. So, “round has been around” (pun intended) for thousands of years.
Well, how many thousands?
About 22 centuries before the epic confrontation between Galileo and the medieval Church, Phoenician sailors circumnavigated Africa, sailing down the east coast and back up the western shores, through the “Pillars of Hercules” at Gibraltar and back to Egypt, to report to the Pharaoh that, indeed, the world must be round. Why? Because, once they crossed southbound what we now know as the equator, the sun had “flipped around” to reside on the opposite side of their sailing vessel on a given sailing tack. At night, the moon would have become “lefthanded”, rather than being “righthanded*” as we see it at night. Thus, they knew the world must be round, for, if it were flat, such observations couldn’t occur. So, mirabile dictu, as the Romans would come to say, the
world was round – but no one knew how big it was.
It took a Greek, named Eratosthenes, in 240 BC to figure out how big the Earth was. He noticed that in Aswan, a place then called Syene, around the time of the summer solstice, the sun shined directly to the bottom of a well and nearby posts threw no shadows on the ground. To do that, the sun had to be directly overhead. At the same time, where he lived in Alexandria to the north, a post would throw a shadow on the ground. For both those conditions to be true, the Earth had to be round and the rest, i.e., how big around was it, was simply some algebra and geometry which, as every high school student knows, the Greeks were very good at. So, Q.E.D, this column is about that math and thus starts a series on celestial navigation.
But what did ol’ Eratosthenes do? Well, the shadow from the post in Alexandria created an angle. Having that in hand, plus the “arc distance” from Aswan(Syene) to Alexandria (d), we have the beginnings of a formula. This angle created by the shadow of the post in Alexandria, called “theta” to this day and displayed as -0-, is exactly the same angle that would be found at the center of the Earth, as if the sunlight that was shining
down that well in Aswan(Syene) could reach the center of the Earth and then “bounce” back up and out through Alexandria. In plain speak, the angle from Aswan(Syene) down to the center of the Earth and back out through Alexandria is exactly the same angle as that created by the sun’s shadow thrown from the post in Alexandria. See the diagram.
Thus, Eratosthenes quickly deduced that the arc distance (d) is proportional to the angle -0-. If you halve the angle, you halve the distance. This means that you can create a formula from these facts: d = constant x -0-. Ol’ Eratosthenes realized further that “d” would be equal to the circumference of the Earth when the angle, -0-, was 360
degrees.
D = (circumference/360 degrees) x -0- had to be the circumference when -0- was 360 degrees!
So, since this was true, all he needed to do was figure out what the constant was, which, knowing the distance from Aswan(Syene) to Alexandria being about 500 miles, he did some algebra and solved for the circumference of the Earth.
Eratosthenes solved the equation above and determined the Earth’s circumference to be 25,500 miles. With our advanced technology, we know the Earth to be 24,874 miles – so pretty darn good for ol’ Eratosthenes with 240 BC technology!
So, upon exactly what principle
does celestial navigation rest? Eratosthenes’ formula enables someone to determine how far they are from someplace else. If we take Eratosthenes’ formula one step further, i.e., to solve for the constant that, when multiplied by the observed angle as measured at noon, tells you how far away you are from the “well”, i.e., Greenwich, England, we get this: D = (circumference/360 degrees) x -0we substitute ‘circumference’ for its equivalent: 2*pi*R (where R is the Radius of the Earth, which we know today to be 3,440 nautical miles)
D = (2*pi*3440)/ 360 degrees) x -0D = 60.04 x -0- or, rounding off, D = 60nm.
That is the constant and why 60nm is equal to 1 degree of latitude. This is the kernel upon which celestial navigation rests!

* Being “right-handed” means that the Earth’s shadow moves from the right side of the moon to the left as the moon wanes from a full moon to a new moon, as viewed from the northern hemisphere.
BY DAN GRANITEIn economics, inflation is a general increase in prices of goods and services in the economy. When the general price level currency buys fewer goods and services it consequently corresponds to a reduction in the purchasing power. Inflation is influenced by cost-push inflation, demandpull inflation, the housing market, and expansionary fiscal policy. It cruelly siphons money particularly from poor, and working and middleclass Americans. President Biden has fueled inflation by implementing fiscal policies thrust upon him by those behind his administration who pull the strings.
Inflation continues to soar under the Biden Administration. According to data released by the Federal Government, US inflation jumped more than expected in September. The San Francisco Chronicle stated that worsening inflation will pressure the Fed to keep raising rates.
Inflation is up 13% since Joe Biden assumed the office of the Presidency in January of 2021, according to calculations of Peter C. Earle, Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research. Inflation has risen every month since Biden took office. Aligned with Biden’s term the consumer price index has climbed rapidly over the past year.
The President insists however that America will get inflation under control. Expressing optimism about the direction of the US economy he said America will be able “to reign in historically high inflation,” and that, “the economy will bounce back resoundingly.”
Federal Reserve policymakers evaluate changes in monitoring several different price indexes. Inflation is measured in these ways: Consumer Price Index (CPI) produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the most widely measure of economic growth. The
It’s obvious that we require a change in direction. We require men and women who will dispense with clanging, empty, counterproductive liberal ideologies and implement common sense policies that are effective in getting us back on the right track of rebuilding our great nation.
Federal Reserve prefers to use the Personal Consumer Expenditures (the PCE price index) when gauging inflation’s overall economic stability in the United States. Producer Price Index (PPI) which reports fluctuations of domestic means for American producers, is another measure of inflation.
The Biden Administration has added $4.8 trillion to our long-term debt, spurring the highest inflation in 40 years
and crushing the well-being of average Americans. What the BIDEN INFLATION ACT serves to do is to address climate change by helping Americans reduce their carbon footprint. Pretty weak.
It would appear that as a nation economically we are “going to hell in a hand bag.” That I’m afraid is an illusion because all indications are that we’re already in hell in a handbag.
There are great leaders who could forge the path to recovery. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Young Kim, first Korean US Rep. 39th CD in California, US Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Jennifer Carrol, 1st black Lt. Governor of Florida, to name a few.
The pendulum always swings and after two years of the debacle known as the Biden Administration, it's time for the pendulum to swing in the other direction. And swing it will because Americans are smarter than the pointyheaded bureaucrats give them credit for.

There is a view among those who derive their theological beliefs from movies, television, and other aspects of the media that when a mortal dies, he leaves the earthly realm and is met by St. Peter at heaven’s pearly gates. If his or her name is found by St. Peter in the Book of Judgment the deceased mortal is allowed to pass into the eternal reward of heaven and issued a set of wings, a small harp, and a cloud upon which to hover for the rest of eternity.
The reality is that angels were created as angels and were never human. While it is true that during the course of human events angels at times have assumed human vessels to accomplish missions assigned to them on earth by God, they are not human. Angels are pure spirit which frees them from the limitations of the flesh.
Humans were created by God when He populated the Garden of Eden with living creatures. Man was the creature which God created giving him free will and intellect. The creation of man was followed
by the creation of his soul mate woman. Man and woman were perfect complements for each other physically, mentally, and spiritually and reigned over all other of God’s living creatures. Eden was their Paradise and would have remained so had they not succumbed to the temptations of the rebel angel Lucifer, the angel who rebelled
against God and sought revenge for his expulsion. While angels are pure spirit man is spirit and body—soul and matter. Man’s soul is the life of the body. When man dies his soul separates from the body.
Saints are role models selected by the Church and held up to us as examples. They serve as
of Lucifer when he attempted to seize God’s throne, and cast him and the fallen angels into the burning lake. It is Michael again who will face off against Satan’s forces at the Battle of Armageddon at the Apocalypse.
Gabriel is the Archangel of the Annunciation who visited the young maiden Mary in Galilee to tell her that she would become the mother of the word Incarnate, Jesus. During the salvation history Gabriel made numerous other appearances notably to the old priest Zacharias to announce that his barren wife Elizabeth would give birth to Jesus’ cousin, John the Baptist.
advocates and intermediaries to us the faithful.
The Bible mentions three Archangels by name who are saints. They are St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael. Michael is the Prince of the Heavenly Host. It is Michael the Archangel who led God’s forces against the rebel troops
Saint Raphael is told about in the Book of Tobit. He is the patron saint of travelers and healing. Uriel is not mentioned in the Bible yet is revered as the “Wrath of God” and a saint by the Episcopalian Church.
St. Dismas, the penitent thief who hung next to the crucified Jesus on Golgotha is acclaimed to be the first saint because he was called to heaven by Jesus, Himself.
