Wall Street Rating Agencies Moody’s, S&P Give Brookhaven Town Top Rating of Triple-A

Supervisor Ed Romaine is pleased to report that Moody’s Investor Services has re-affirmed the Town of Brookhaven’s AAA credit rating.

In addition, Standard & Poor’s assigned their own rating of AAA. Both indicated a “stable outlook” for the Town’s fiscal position. The ratings are the highest issued by the two services and identifies the Town’s financial position as the highest quality and considered high quality investment grade. Moody’s cited the Town’s “continued strong financial management which will likely maintain a strong financial position.”

cuts to expenditures.”

Supervisor Ed Romaine said, “These reports show that we continue to perform at a high level of fiscal responsibility even in the face of very difficult times worldwide. The Town’s financial team has kept us on a steady course, and I expect our fiscal position to remain strong for 2021. I thank every Town department as well as Commissioner of Finance Tamara Branson, Chief of Operations Matt Miner and Councilwoman Jane

Bonner for their role in managing the Town’s finances and saving millions of taxpayer dollars.”

Councilwoman Jane Bonner, who serves as the Town Board Liaison to Finance said, “This year has proven to be challenging for everyone who is trying to make ends meet and the Town is no exception. Thanks to Supervisor Romaine’s leadership and the efforts of Commissioner of Finance Tamara Branson and Chief of Operations Matt Miner, we have maintained our strong financial

position, and we continue to move in the right direction. Brookhaven taxpayers can rest assured that we are working hard to protect their interests.”

In Moody’s report, their Ratings Rationale noted the Town’s “continued strong financial management” and a “manageable debt burden that is not likely to increase significantly in the next twelve to twenty-four months.” It also indicates that the Town’s stable outlook “reflects the expectation that reserves and liquidity will remain sound.”

In Standard & Poor’s summary, they identify the Town’s strengths as:

A Town’s credit rating is an important and reliable indicator of its fiscal health determined by independent and objective fiscal monitors, saving residents money in the form of lower interest costs. While State and County governments are facing financial hardships due to the effects the pandemic has had on the economy, Moody’s cited proactive measures taken by Brookhaven, stating “Coronavirus is not a primary driver of the Town’s credit rating given sound budget management which offsets revenue declines with

highlights of the Town’s Credit Overview: • Brookhaven has continued its recent positive performance, once again adding to reserves in fiscal 2019. Despite an estimate for a modest drawdown in fiscal 2020, we expect finances to remain strong.

• The Town has changed its revenue and expenditure makeup and identified significant opportunities for cost savings to maintain balanced operations and provide necessary residential services.

• Brookhaven’s GO bonds are eligible to be rated above the sovereign because we believe the Town can maintain better credit characteristics than the nation overall in a stress scenario.

The Standard & Poor’s report also commented that they view the Town’s management as “very strong, with strong financial policies and practices under our Financial Management Assessment methodology, indicating financial practices are strong, well embedded, and likely sustainable.”

Cleanup Announced for Illegal Dumping Sites Identified During “Operation Pay Dirt” Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”), Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone and the Suffolk County Police Department (“SCPD”) today announced the commencement of cleanup and remediation efforts at the illegal dumping sites identified during “Operation Pay Dirt,” an investigation conducted by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, NYSDEC and SCPD that resulted in the largest environmental dumping case in New York State history.

“Back in November of 2018 when we announced the historic indictment of 40 defendants as a result of an investigation we dubbed ‘Operation Pay Dirt,’ we made a promise to the victims that

not only would we hold the coconspirators accountable for their crimes, but we would also make sure that they paid for all of the cleanup costs,” District Attorney Sini said. “That burden should not fall on the homeowners who are victimized by this type of scheme, and thanks to the hard work of my Office and our partners, we were able to seize the assets of the criminal defendants and use those assets to fund the remediation plan. At the end of the day, environmental dumping is a crime driven by greed, and we want this case to send a clear message to anyone considering committing these crimes on Long Island that it does not pay in the long run. Make no mistake about it; my Office and our partners in the DEC, the Suffolk County Police Department and many other agencies will make sure

that it no longer pays to commit environmental crimes on Long Island.”

“New York State has no tolerance for the illegal disposal of solid waste and helped launch a region-wide initiative to investigate and prosecute offenders who were damaging communities in Suffolk and other areas of the state with C&D debris and contaminated fill,” NYSDEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “Now as we move to the next phase to help communities reclaim these properties in partnership with Suffolk County, District Attorney Sini, and other partners, DEC looks forward to providing comprehensive oversight of the cleanups for the benefit of public health and the environment.”

Cleanup of 18 Illegal Dumping Sites to be Funded Entirely by Assets Forfeited by Criminal Defendants “Suffolk County has been at the forefront of the war on

with this kind of criminal activity are over,” said Suffolk County Executive Bellone. “As we take the first step in cleaning up the mess these individuals left behind, our message is clear – Long Island is not your dumping ground, and anyone who engages in this type of activity will pay a harsh price.”

“It is only fitting that assets seized from the offenders be used to clean up the environmental disaster they created,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said. “While Operation Pay Dirt reached a successful conclusion because we worked with our partner agencies to hold people and corporations accountable for environmental crimes, I would like to commend District Attorney Sini for obtaining more than one million dollars in restitution from the defendants to ensure remediation efforts will be completed.”

The “Operation Pay Dirt” investigation, which began in February 2018, resulted in two indictments charging 30 individuals and 10 corporations for conspiring to illegally dump solid waste at locations across Long Island.

All 40 criminal cases have since reached dispositions, including nine that resulted in felony convictions and one defendant being sentenced to prison.

A civil forfeiture action was brought by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office against 12 individuals and 10 corporate entities as a result of the criminal conduct, resulting in the forfeiture of approximately

$1.27 million. The forfeiture amount comprises proceeds of the crimes; trucks and other equipment used by the defendants as instrumentalities to engage in the criminal activity that were sold at auction by the SCPD; and real property owned by the defendants.

The funds will be used to pay remediation costs for the cleanup of 18 properties that were identified as sites of illegal dumping during the investigation. The NYSDEC conducted site visits at the properties and created remediation plans for each. Cleanup will be conducted by a private contractor and overseen by the Suffolk County Department of Public Works and the NYSDEC to ensure the material is disposed of properly.

Following the remediation, a secondary private contractor will conduct end-point sampling at each property to certify that any hazardous or acutely hazardous substances have been removed.

“Operation Pay Dirt” was a months-long, multi-agency investigation that involved the use of court-authorized eavesdropping, electronic surveillance and physical surveillance. The investigation revealed a conspiracy to commit illegal dumping led

by Anthony Grazio a/k/a “Rock,” 55, of Smithtown, who acted as a “dirt broker” by arranging for locations where trucking companies could illegally dispose of solid waste. Grazio posted advertisements on Craigslist for “clean fill” for landscaping projects and solicited homeowners over the

phone and in person for locations to use for dumping.

The material that was illegally dumped came from recycling and transfer stations located in New York City and Long Island, including Queens-based Durante Bros Construction Corp. It was then transported and dumped at the sites by trucking companies including DJCI Enterprises, Inc.; IEV Trucking Corp.; Kris Trucking Corp.; Modern Leasing, Inc. doing business as Dumpmasters; New York Trucking and Carting Corporation; NYTAC Corp.; ClairCo Industries, Inc., doing business as St. Clair Trucking; and Starfire Industries, Inc., doing business as Platinum Aggregates, Inc. The investigation revealed that Kris Trucking Corp. also took construction and demolition debris directly from construction sites in New York City and illegally dumped it at residential and commercial locations.

NYSDEC testing of the illegally-dumped solid waste found that several of the locations contained acutely hazardous substances or hazardous substances as defined in the New York State Codes’ Rules and Regulations.

The acutely hazardous substances included aldrin, dieldrin and heptachlor, which are all pesticides. The hazardous substances included arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc and mercury, which are all metals.

In addition to the criminal indictment, a

Special Grand Jury empaneled by District Attorney Sini in July 2018 also issued a comprehensive report on the commission and effects of illegal dumping and other environmental crimes on Long Island. The Special Grand Jury concluded that protecting the environment of Suffolk County from illegal dumping is of paramount importance in light of the fact that Suffolk County sits atop an aquifer, which is the sole source of drinking water for its residents. The report included recommendations on legislative and administrative action to effectively combat environmental crimes and provide avenues to pay for remediation and restitution to the victims of those crimes.

District Attorney Sini worked with state and local officials, including New York State Sen. Todd Kaminsky and New York State Assemblyman Steve Stern, to propose legislation based on the Special Grand Jury’s recommendations. On July 24th, the State Senate and Assembly passed bills that will create several new felonies under State law related to illegal dumping upon being signed into law.

“Operation Pay Dirt” was conducted by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office’s Special Investigative Counsel Christiana McSloy; Enhanced Prosecution Bureau Chief Nicholas Mauro and Assistant District Attorneys Adriana Noyola and Laura Sarowitz; and Finance & Asset Forfeiture Bureau Chief Craig Pavlik.

Miller Place Inn Fined $12,000 for COVID-19 Violations Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone today announced that the Suffolk County Department of Health Services issued a notice of formal hearing to the Miller Place Inn on October 10th to respond to various charges of COVID-19 violations. The notice follows a Sweet 16 super-spreader event held at the Miller Place Inn on September 25, which led to 37 positive COVID-19 cases. 29 of those cases were individuals who attended the Sweet 16, seven were household contacts, and one case was a close contact of someone who attended the party.

“This was an egregious violation and should serve as a stark reminder of the consequences that exist for flouting COVID-19 protocols,” said Suffolk Country Executive Steve Bellone. “These rules and regulations exist for a reason to keep New Yorkers safe - and we all have an obligation to act

responsibly.”

on September 25th.

According to health officials, the Miller Place Inn is charged with causing, permitting and serving as the venue for an indoor gathering of more than 50 persons and did not enforce New York State and County of Suffolk Department of Health COVID-19 restrictions.

Additionally, the Miller Place Inn was charged with operating a food establishment in an unsanitary condition.

The Suffolk County Department of Health Services took immediate action, and contacted the hosts of the event to obtain a copy of the guest list, which was provided voluntarily. Once health officials received the list, which comprised 81 guests, including 49 students and 32 adults, the department quarantined the entire guest list and entered the contact information into the county’s contact tracing system.

The legal action follows the reporting of several positive COVID-19 cases throughout the Sachem School District to Suffolk County Department of Health Services beginning on September 30th. After initiating comprehensive contact tracing investigations, the Health Department determined that the cases were connected to the Sweet 16 party held at the Miller Place Inn

According to Health Commissioner Dr. Gregson Pigott, the situation is under control, and there is no community spread at this time. “This cluster should serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of violating COVID-19 rules and regulations,” said Dr. Pigott.

The Suffolk County Department of Health Services has identified 37 COVID-19 positive cases in

connection to the Sweet 16 party: 29 of the positive cases attended the party, seven positive cases were household contacts, and one positive case was a close contact of an individual who attended the party.

Health officials report that eight schools have reported positive cases in connection to the Sweet 16 party and 35 schools have at least one student who has been affected by the event, while one school has had as many as 74 students impacted.

To date, health officials have identified 334 contacts, 151 who were non-school affiliated and 183 who were school affiliated.

At present, 270 contact are under quarantine and 11 cases are under active isolation. Several contacts have already completed their quarantine period, as their exposure dates back to more than 14 days.

NYS Executive Orders limit all non-essential gatherings to 50 or fewer people or 50% capacity, whichever is less. Fines for the violations include: $10,000 for violations of Section 12-B(2) of the Public Health Law and violations of New York Executive Orders and $2,000 fine due to violations of Suffolk County Sanitary Code.

Volunteer First Responders Recognized

October is Volunteer Recognition Month in Suffolk County, so designated in 2001 by a resolution that established a volunteer recognition program for firefighters and EMS personnel.

The program provides an opportunity for each Suffolk County legislator to formally nominate one volunteer in their district for their outstanding service as a first responder.

He is a truly dedicated member who always goes above and beyond the and enjoys mentoring the probationary and student members. He selflessly devotes himself to the ambulance company and his community and has aspirations of one day climbing the ranks to become its chief.

As the representative for Suffolk County’s Third Legislative District, which contains multiple fire departments and ambulance companies, Legislator Rudy Sunderman thought it was important to “C.J. has always been request that each individual willing to go above and department provide him beyond for his department with the name of a member and community,” said deserving of recognition Legislator Sunderman. for their outstanding “Congratulations on this service and dedication Christopher Colagiovanni of the Shirley well-deserved honor and through their volunteerism Ambulance Company was chosen as the thank you for your service in the community.

While this recognition singles out individuals for their exemplary work within the past calendar year, it is also important to remember that all volunteers deserve recognition for making their community a safer place to live,” added Legislator Sunderman.

Sunderman to Designate Oct. 4-10 as Latex Allergy Awareness Week October 4 through October 10 is being designated as Latex Allergy Awareness Week after Suffolk County lawmakers at their general meeting on Oct. 6 approved a measure sponsored by Legislator Rudy Sunderman.

Legislator Sunderman was made aware of National Latex Allergy Awareness Week after a constituent who had a recent outbreak from a latex allergy reached out to him. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and with the increased use of personal protective equipment (PPE) including latex gloves, there has been a significant increase in emergency room visits due to latex allergies.

Legislator Sunderman moved forward with legislation (IR 1828-2020) to designate the week of October 4 through October

10 as “Latex Allergy Awareness Week” in Suffolk County. This designation will help raise awareness about the seriousness of latex allergies and how to avoid latex products so we can all do our part to help protect friends and neighbors who may suffer from this allergy.

“As happens with many of our resolutions, a constituent brought an issue to my attention that was important to them and asked me to help them to make a positive change,” said Legislator Sunderman. “As a result of their outreach, Suffolk County now has a mechanism to educate the public on the dangers and seriousness of latex allergies.”

Latex allergies affect up to 6% of the total population of the United States, and the most

serious allergic reaction to latex is anaphylaxis, which can be deadly. Many common everyday products that we come into contact with daily contain latex, including disposable gloves, some types of carpeting, baby bottle nipples, rubber toys, and many more products. An individual can usually find similar products made without the use of latex.

Certain people are also more susceptible of developing this allergy, including people with spina bifida, people who undergo multiple surgeries or medical procedures, health care workers, rubber industry workers, and people with personal or family history of allergies.

Legislator Sunderman’s resolution does not just designate a week as Latex Allergy Awareness Week. He also made sure to

include an educational component to ensure the resolution truly met the goal of assisting people with latex allergies. His resolution also directs the Suffolk County Department of Health Services to develop educational material on latex allergies and distribute this material on the department webpage and via social media.

“I want to make sure that this resolution truly raises awareness and helps those who suffer from this allergy,” said Legislator Sunderman. “This resolution is the first step of many to tackle the overall issues surrounding latex allergies. I am confident that by working together with my colleagues and constituents we can truly make a difference in the lives of those who suffer from latex allergies.”

Republicans Confront Democrats on Cancelling Star Tax Rebates; GOP Ticket Pledges to Restore Relief to 320,000 Suffolk Taxpayers

With the November election right around the corner, local Republicans are drawing a clear distinction between themselves and their Democrat opponents who cancelled a staggering $212 million in Star Tax Rebates immediately upon taking office in 2019.

“Voters have a crystal clear distinction between the Republicans and the Democrats this year as we will restore the Star Rebates to 320,000 Suffolk taxpayers that they cancelled once they took back control of the state senate,” said Assemblyman Joe DeStefano, who joined his running mates in confronting their opponents on the issue.

“When I was elected to the Assembly, the very first bill I sponsored was the Affordable NY Act, which would have doubled the amount of the rebate for homeowners,” said Anthony Palumbo who is running for the seat held by Senator Kenneth LaValle, who is retiring. “Now more than ever, this type of bold property tax relief is needed. Given the fact that schools and local governments are facing staggering 20 percent cuts

in their budgets, Suffolk County homeowners are once again going to be expected to do more with less.

The least we can do is provide them with some essential tax relief and financial breathing room during these difficult, uncertain times.”

“In her first year as a state Senator, Monica Martinez voted to eliminate the property tax rebate checks,” said Alexis Weik, who’s also running to take out a Democrat who eliminated the rebates. “As Receiver of Taxes in Islip and a homeowner myself, I know firsthand just how crucial these checks are for Suffolk County families. As our communities struggle to move forward and rebuild after the coronavirus, we must do everything we can to provide our hardworking homeowners with some financial relief. We must restore and expand this program.”

The local leaders were joined by senate candidates Mario Mattera and Edmund Smyth who are running for seats that used to be held by Republicans who, as the majority in the state senate, protected the interests of Long Island. When these seats were lost

Assemblyman Joe DeStefano calls out his team’s Democrat opponents for cancelling a staggering $217 million in Star Rebate checks for Suffolk taxpayers. to the Democrats, they immediately enacted laws that shifted resources to New York City to the detriment of middle class taxpayers. The shift

was reminiscent of the impotence of former Senator Brian Foley who took over a GOP seat and immediately sided with Democrats who instituted an MTA Payroll tax that robbed the suburbs, raised motor vehicle fees to support the city’s subways, and even instituted an unpopular salt water fishing license. Foley only lasted one term in a voter revolt that the Republicans believe will be duplicated this year.

The GOP candidates visited the Mastic Beach home of Bob and Kim Miller to highlight the importance of the program. The Millers are a local family who, like many other Suffolk County homeowners, were impacted by the Senate Democrats’ failure to extend the important program that delivered tax relief directly to Long Island homeowners.

Local taxpayers talk about the need for Star Rebate checks to Suffolk taxpayers with state Senate candidate Mario Mattera, left.

Miller, the former Mayor of Mastic Beach, outlined the need for the restoration of this important tax relief program: “This community has long been underfunded in school aid and the residents here cannot afford another two years under the control of politicians who are only concerned about New York City. In a community like ours, where many people live paycheck to paycheck, residents need their

rebate checks and we need elected officials in Albany who will fight for us.”

“As we continue to recover from the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, many Long Island families could truly use an extra $658 to pay for everyday needs and it is shameful that New York State has eliminated this very useful program,” Mattera said.

“Our taxpayers pay too much and they deserve to have the ability to spend more of the money they earn.

It is time for those who are elected to serve our residents restore and double this program to put state tax money where it belongs—in the pockets of our hardworking men and women.”

“In this tough economic climate, when so many are struggling to make ends meet, homeowners across Long Island are relying on us to help them get back on their feet,” stated Senator Phil Boyle at the press conference. “Providing these hard-working families with some financial relief through the property tax rebate check program would truly help hundreds of thousands of homeowners when they need it most. I am calling on the Senate Democratic Majority to immediately restore this vital program and help our constituents.”

Governor Cuomo Announces Most Movie Theaters Outside of New York City Can Reopen on October 23

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo recently announced that movie theaters outside of New York City can reopen at 25 percent capacity under state guidance starting October 23. No more than 50 people are allowed in front of each screen in each movie theater at once. Theaters can only open outside of New York City in counties that have COVID-19 positivity rates of less than 2 percent on a 14-day average and do not have any cluster zones.

Theaters will be subject to rigorous state guidance and enforcement.

Cuomo stated, “The division aids and abets the virus, and it comes down to the mask. How this became a political symbol, in this nation, I have no idea. And how you can have every

scientific expert say wear a mask, New York State was the first state in the nation to mandate mask-wearing, every scientific expert, projections saying 50, 60,000 people more will die because they don’t wear a mask, and it has become a political symbol. Since when did basic humanity and saving lives become a political issue?

Even after over 30 people get infected at the Rose Garden, you still want to say this is a political symbol?”

The governor went on to say, “None of us have been here before. We wear a mask, we socially distance. I urge everyone to do it, because to me it’s the exact opposite of harshness. It is out of love. And it is out of respect.

And it is out of humanity. I want to make sure everyone

does everything they can to protect each other. I want to do everything we can do to make sure that nobody dies.

That’s what it comes down to - that nobody dies. Yes, it’s hard; yes, it’s going on a long time. But we do know how to do it and we are doing it.

And we are saving lives and it will be over. We will get to a vaccine. And we will figure out how to administer a vaccine. Frankly, if the federal government doesn’t do anything, we’ll figure it out here in New York like we figured it out for the past seven months. We’ll get there.’”

• Theaters Must Open at 25 Percent Capacity; No More Than 50 People in Front of Each Movie Screen • Theaters in Certain Counties Outside of New York City Do Not Meet State Requirements and Cannot Reopen • 159,972 Test Results Reported to New York State Yesterday—New Record High • Statewide Positivity Rate is 1.11 Percent • Positive Testing Rate in Hot Spot Areas is 4.34 Percent; New York State Positivity Without Red Zone Focus Areas Included is 1.02 Percent

The governor also announced that 159,972 test results were reported to New York State yesterday—a new record high.

Cuomo Admits Fear of Damaging His Reputation Drives His COVID-19 Policy Gov. Andrew Cuomo finally admitted it: After locking down the state and disrupting the lives and livelihoods of all New Yorkers, he told a group of religious leaders that his response to the COVID virus was based not on science, but politics.

“This is not a highly nuanced, sophisticated response,” the governor said. “This is a fear-driven response. You know, this is not a policy being written by a scalpel. This is a policy being cut by a hatchet. It’s just very blunt…But it’s out of fear. People see the numbers going up—‘Close everything!

Cuomo went on: “It’s not the best way to do it, but it is a fear-driven response. The virus scares people. Hopefully if we get the numbers down in the zip codes, the anxiety comes down, and then we

can have a smarter, more tailored approach. Your point is right. ‘Why close every school? Why don’t you test the schools and close the ones that have a problem?’ I know.”

“With New York families and businesses at a catastrophic level in the wake of Cuomo’s shut down, his words are like a nail in the coffin of people who are trying to pick up the pieces of their lives,” said Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano, a frequent Cuomo critic. “He admits that the state does not have the resources to test the schools and only close the ones with identifiable problems.”

The governor says chillingly: “First, I don’t know that we have the resources to do that now, but I can tell you honestly the fear is too high to do anything other than ‘Let’s do everything we can to get the infection rate down

now. Close the doors. Close the windows.’ That’s where we are.”

Cuomo’s shut down orders and heavy-handed enforcement on business owners just trying to survive have always seemed arbitrary, many local officials have said. “Now, instead of trying to educate the public about the risks associated with the virus and devote the resources to respond with a ‘scalpel,’ he’s just trying to protect himself politically by letting fear drive state policy,” DeStefano concluded. “This should come as no surprise from a politician who has been hiding the true impact of his decision to move COVID patients out of the hospitals and into nursing homes where he created a devastating ground zero for deaths among our elderly population. New Yorkers deserve better.”

FROM A TO Z

BY ROBERT CHARTUK Standing with members of law enforcement and local leaders last week in demanding the repeal of the state’s new bail laws was victim’s rights advocate Jennifer Harrison of Mastic who has an incredible story to tell.

Jennifer’s boyfriend and his best friend were killed in an incident involving three brothers, two of whom had criminal records. Despite multiple stab wounds from different knives, the brother with the clean record was allowed to cop a plea to the double murder that had him released in just a few years while the other two went free.

“No one could understand what our families were going through, our anger over how we were treated,” Harrison said. “We didn’t even know a deal was struck until we arrived at the courthouse.” This led her to a life of advocating for victims and their families and calling out a justice

system that is becoming more and more soft on crime.

Harrison took to the podium to call for the repeal of the state’s new bail laws that requires the release of all misdemeanor and many felony suspects regardless of their criminal record or if they have other charges pending. “This has made our communities much less safe,” she said at a rally that was spurred by the recent deaths of a Bellport man and his daughter, allegedly by her brother who had various charges pending and a record of numerous jail sentences.

“I knew Amanda Farnum, she used to work with me and is a friend,” Jennifer said of the woman who was killed by her brother, who then killed himself. The system failed her and now she’s dead.”

Harrison levels her harshest criticism at Gov. Cuomo who immediately approved the new bail

package after it was pushed through the legislature in the middle of the night. “Neither the law enforcement community nor victim’s advocates were consulted on these dangerous changes to our bail system,” she said.

“The whole thing has to be repealed and a process must take place that’s both fair to the victims and those charged with crimes. Judges should be given back discretion over holding suspects who represent a danger to society; penalties must be reinstated that serve as a detriment to crime.”

following Cuomo’s executive order to move COVID patients from hospitals to nursing homes. They were honored as “Long Island’s Homefront Sisters” as they worked at Republic Airport in East Farmingdale building the planes that helped America win World War II. “They fought for our country and were treated like unwanted stray animals by Cuomo’s political donors who he then granted immunity,” she said, noting that her step-grandmother’s sister was also famed as “Josie, the Riveter.”

Harrison pointed out that one of Cuomo’s appointees to the state Parole Board married a convicted murderer while she worked in the department of prisons and has been criticized for coaching felons during their parole hearings. “Her husband was let free and then got a job in state government that none of us could ever get,” she said, adding, “Cuomo intentionally composed the parole board to be sympathetic to murders and rapists.”

She questioned why she wasn’t allowed to honor the passing of her relatives, while anarchists and looters were allowed to attack police and run wild through the streets.

“Under Cuomo and the Democrats, victims have no rights. Police are vulnerable and our children are not safe as they roll out the red carpet for the criminals. We can’t allow this to continue.”

Harrison’s organizations, Parents of Murdered Children and the Long Island/New York Metro Area chapter of Parents and Other Survivors of Murdered Victims, supports families through ordeals that include crime investigations, pleas, trials, impact statements, and parole hearings to make sure punishments fit the crimes.

Harrison’s advocacy shifted into high gear when both her stepgrandmother and her sister died within two days of each other

The advocate called on the U.S. Justice Department to issue subpoenas to find out why New York became the epicenter for COVID deaths. “To this day, the Cuomo administration won’t even tell us how many of our seniors actually died in nursing homes.”

Harrison is energetic and driven and vows to make sure elected representatives are held accountable for the results of their policies. “The murder rate is increasing in New York State because they eliminated life sentences,” Harrison concluded.

“It’s like the wild, wild west.”

ON THE SEA

BY VINCENT PICA, COMMODORE

First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard Auxiliary

OK, so you’re done fishing and you turn to the engine and give the key a turn. Ominously, you don’t hear a thing. Or… she turns over but as soon as you give it forward propulsion, she stalls. No one is going home soon. Before you call for a tow, here are some tips.

Calling for Help v Self-Help

Any good tower only wants to help where help is needed. We’re graced with real pro’s out on our bays and creeks and they will go out of their way to ensure that they are providing help when and where help is needed. But gone are the days of smacking the old 2-stoke with a hammer and she starts up with a cough and puff. These new engines are nearly as complex as car engines have become – and they are plenty complex!

Fuel, Out Of…

I would be willing to wager that the largest source of boats not getting underway is lack of fuel.

This is really not something you should let happen. Use the “1/3rd1/3rd-1/3rd” Rule. Plan on using a 1/3rd of your fuel to get there, a 1/3rd to get home and 1/3rd in reserve for the unpredictable events

plus the predictable headwinds.

How do you know how much fuel that is? Well, the least predictable device on your boat, in my measured opinion, is your fuel gauge. This is why I have been constantly recommending to skippers that they keep records of their fuel consumption – engine time when you started, engine time when you refueled, calculate gallons/hour consumed. And write it in a log.

I have been since day-1 on every boat. It is also a good indication if there is something that needs addressing when fuel consumption stops being predictable, i.e., you’re using more than you should be by historical standards. I really don’t recommend storing fuel in cans aboard as a back-up. It just seems so much smarter and so much safer to keep and use your log.

Fuel Issues

If the engine stalls or you feel a real “drag” when you get underway, stop and do some quick checking.

You might have picked up some fishing line which is now wrapped around your prop’s base. This can be a serious problem as it can compromise the shaft seal and allow water to enter the lower

Before You Throw in the Towel, Give it a Go! unit. If it does, it will push out the oil. If that happens, you have a real problem. You may have plenty of gas (see above) but if the primer bulb is contracted, there is a blockage somewhere causing a vacuum – which can be as simple at the fuel vent being covered, blocked or actually manually shut. Check that. If the bulb is easy to squeeze but doesn’t get hard when doing so, this also can be a real problem. It may be as simple as leak somewhere that is allowing air into the system or as serious as a pinhole in the line and gas is leaking into your boat.

Use your nose – asap!

Electrical Things

Something that you should keep aboard is a volt meter and that is what I reach for when the engine won’t turn over. If the battery isn’t charged correctly, the engine won’t start by turning the key. If the engine is light enough, you can start the engine by spinning the flywheel with a pull cord. Or, if you have jumper cables aboard like you probably do with your car, a kindly mariner can give you a jump-start.

If the battery is charged but the engine won’t turn over, check the connections. Remove the wires,

“Your Family Therapist”

MICHELLE CAVALERI, LCSW-R

Wedding Officiant & NYS Divorce Mediator

Many traits of BPD are distinctly antagonistic to peaceful routines or daily survival tactics. If your partner displays any of the following characteristics, you may be dealing with BPD and need to know how its traits have a particular impact

on your relationship.

A person with BPD is impulsive in areas that have a potential for self-destruction.

Relationships with others are intense and unstable. They will go through frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment by others, and express mood instability and inappropriate anger. There may also be identity uncertainty concerning self-image, long-term goals or career choices, sexual orientation, choice of friends, and values.

Folks with this disorder tend to see things in terms of extremes, either all good or all bad. They

Cooling/Oil

If the overheating alarm goes on, stop the boat, turn off the engine and get the cover off. Wait for the engine to cool down. If you can turn the key and the alarm hasn’t started, the engine has cooled – and now the detective work begins. First, start the engine and see if the tell-tale water stream is still spritzing out. If not, or only partially, stop the engine. See if you can get something sturdy (60-pound monofilament?) into the tell-tale and clear it out. Even better, often the tell-tale is integrated into the water plug that you remove to give the engine a water flushing.

Take the plug out and then ream that monofilament into the tell-tale so you just don’t push the blocking material back into the engine. If no

water is still coming out of the telltale, tilt the engine up and check the intakes. They could easily be blocked with seaweed. If the intakes are clear and the tell-tale is also clear, it is one of two problems.

One, the impeller is compromised and that isn’t likely to get fixed at sea. The other is that the sensor itself is faulty. This happened to me once when I was delivering a 2-engine vessel. We were 10 miles out and the overheating warning came on re one of the engines. I had to respect the over-heating signal so I proceeded on one screw until we were within hailing distance of the dock. I fired up the second engine, which still registered as being overheating after 30 minutes of cooling down (which made me think that it WAS the sensor) and laid her up against the dock. Repairs, which meant just replacing the sensor, were quickly affected.

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go direct to the D1SR Human Resources department, who are in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing…”

Identifying Borderline Personality Disorder

ASK MICHELLE

The pattern of BPD has been identified in many settings around the world. Adolescents and young adults with identity problems, especially when accompanied by substance abuse, may display behaviors that are misleading and may be incorrectly diagnosed as BPD. BPD is diagnosed predominantly (about 75 %) in females.

clean the posts and try again. Also, some manufacturers are using butterfly nuts as connectors to make it easy to service the batteries.

It also makes it easy to shake loose under the stresses of a boat pounding into head seas. Another culprit is that the kill-switch lanyard has come loose and you just didn’t notice. This isn’t all that it could be but, enough times, it is.

view themselves as victims of circumstances and take little responsibility for themselves or for their problems.

SYMPTOMS OF BPD: • Unstable interpersonal relationships

• Frequent displays of temper • Inappropriate anger • Recurrent suicide gestures • Feelings of emptiness and boredom • Intolerance of being alone Impulsiveness in at least two of the following areas: money, substance

abuse, sexual relationships, reckless driving, binge eating, shoplifting

Q: A:

Changing Last Will and Testaments

Can I change my will?

Yes, any adult who has mental competency can amend their last will and testament at any time.

However, a last will and testament cannot be amended by simply writing the changes onto a copy or the originally signed document.

There are two ways to validly “amend” the terms of a last will and testament. The first is to sign a codicil. A codicil is a short document that serves to change the terms of an existing will.

The requirements of executing a codicil are the same as for a will.

The second is to sign a new will document. Each will that is signed is the last… as it revokes any previously executed document.

Executing a new will is the superior method of amending the terms as it keeps all of the terms in one completed document.

According to New York State law, an individual is mentally competent to sign a will if he or she can identify their next of kin, is aware of the assets they have, and understands the consequences of signing the will and the plan it will put in place. To be valid, a last will and testament must have the signature of two

witnesses who are over the age of 18. Those witnesses can also sign an affidavit that is notarized

stating, among other things, that the testator was of sound mind

and stated that they intended the signed document to be their last will and testament. The affidavit should also state if the will was signed in the presence of the attorney that drafted it, and if it was, there is a legal presumption that the document is valid.

It is advisable to review estate planning documents every five years or when a major life change happens, birth, death, retirement, etc. Seeking the advice of an attorney to determine how your assets will be distributed at your

death is invaluable to ensuring your wishes are fully carried out. The will determines the after-death distribution of any assets in your sole name with no beneficiary. The document can say if the assets will be distributed outright or in trust and what the terms of that trust may be. It can nominate who will serve as executor and, for parents of minor children, can state who they wish to name as legal guardian.

A last will and testament should be amended throughout time to account for changes in situation, assets, and potential beneficiaries.

Casey Stengel after becoming manager of the Mets famously declared: “Can’t anybody here play this game?” This was 1962 and the Mets’ were on their way to losing 120 games out of 162 that season.

Indeed, Jimmy Breslin wrote a book titled, “Can’t Anybody Here Play This Game? The Improbable Saga of the New York Mets’ First Year.” In its introduction, Bill Veeck, the owner of several major league baseball teams, said the book would be “preserving for all time a remarkable tale of ineptitude, mediocrity, and abject failure.”

PSEG Long Island is being lambasted for its performance in the Tropical Storm Isaias saga of this month. Some 420,000 customers lost electric power. And it took two weeks for full restoration!

Investigations are now underway including probes by the New York State attorney general, the Department of Public Service and the State Legislature.

There is no question that the communications system of PSEG LI broke down. Many people couldn’t get through to the utility to find out what was happening.

Still, for an electric utility to deal with the outages caused by a very severe storm hitting

Long Island—that is a “game” no utility can “play” and win.

Long Island is the most populous island in the United States. And it is heavily treed.

A large storm hitting Long Island with its near dependence on transmitting electricity through lines on poles will mean outages. A huge storm—and with climate change we need to expect more frequent and more very severe storms—means widescale outages.

The solution: underground electric lines.

I wrote a book back in 1985 when the Long Island Lighting Company was the utility here with on its cover a photo of a LILCO pole with the pole and its lines tilted at a 45-degree angle after Hurricane Gloria hit that year.

(The book, Power Crazy, was about LILCO’s proposed Shoreham nuclear power plant and its scheme to build seven to 11 nuclear plants on Long Island.)

The book starts with Hurricane Gloria and a LILCO electric outage that caused 700,000 customers to lose electricity, most for more than a week. But service to 96 percent of telephone customers on Long Island was not interrupted, I noted on Page 1.

I quoted New York Telephone spokesperson Bruce W. Reisman telling me how the

UNDERGROUNDING 2020 company “began placing cable underground wherever feasible in the early 1970s…Cost studies clearly indicated to us that it would simply be less costly for us over the long term to place much of our telephone cables underground. It is generally less expensive to maintain a telephone plant when it is underground. This is because underground facilities are less likely to be damaged by falling trees or branches, high winds, ice storms, etc…The majority of our telephone cables on Long Island (69 percent) is now underground.

This appears to have benefitted us during Hurricane Gloria. Despite the hurricane, we were able to maintain telephone service for about 96 percent of our more than one million Long Island customers.”

LILCO was replaced by the Long Island Power Authority that initially had its electric service run by KeySpan which was taken over

by National Grid—and then Superstorm Sandy struck in 2012. National Grid was blasted for the outages Sandy caused. Governor Andrew Cuomo arranged for National Grid to be replaced by PSEG. In 2012, writing this column about the need for undergrounding, I quoted then Suffolk Legislator Jay Schneiderman (now

Southampton Town supervisor) saying that on Long Island there should be “undergrounding piece-by-piece—especially in areas which, historically, overhead lines haven’t made it in storms.”

Nationally, the call for undergrounding has increased. Last year, an article on T&D World, a website for utilities, was headlined: “It’s Time for Utilities to Reconsider Undergrounding Power Lines.” It stated that “climate change is unquestionably generating intense, costly storms…a hard fact that utilities must confront.” It said “most utilities opt not to bury power lines due to cost. But leaving so much of our power infrastructure exposed to environmental assault may not be worth the short-term cost savings.”

Undergrounding electric lines is more expensive than stringing lines on poles. But we must consider the huge costs of post-hurricane, post-storm electric restorations—happening over and over again. We must fully recognize, too, the terrible hardships these extended outages cause people. With lines underground the vital “game” of preserving electric service can be won.
