Suffolk County 4th District Legislator Nick Caracappa is seeking re-election and will appear on the Republican and Conservative lines of the November 7 ballot. He is the sole Conservativeregistered member of the Suffolk County Legislature. Caracappa's Democrat opponent, Tim Hall, is not running an active campaign.
Caracappa won a special election to the Legislature in November 2020 to fill the unexpired term of Tom Muratore after his passing. Asked about some of his accomplishments during his three year tenure, Caracappa noted one of his first initiatives after being elected, "I wrote a letter to then-Governor Cuomo, which was signed on by all of my colleagues and all 10 town supervisors, with bipartisan support, that called for repairs to fill potholes on the LIE, which were slated for 2024 or 2025, to be done sooner," Caracappa explained. It was discovered during a bipartisan press conference calling for the work orders to be moved up, that Cuomo not only moved the infrastructure improvements up to 20222023, but he also increased funding by $30 million.
"I was happy to work in bipartisan fashion as a freshman legislator and to know I had the backs of my colleagues, and this was made possible by the great
work of our state senators and assembly members," Caracappa added.
On the issue of the state of the county's finances, Caracappa asserts the Republican conference is already making a difference in the direction the Legislature is heading. "I have full confidence once Ed Romaine is elected (as County Executive), our fiscal situation will be much better," Caracappa said. "In 2020-2021 we had the worst (bond rating) - of 62 counties, we were 62, and we've since been upgraded from 62 to 61." This was achieved, Caracappa explained, by halting borrowing and instead, paying cash for projects that cost $50,000 or less. "We end up saving millions of dollars in interest payments, and strengthen our bond rating by reducing the county's debt, and now we expect to do even better because of the great work we're doing," Caracappa said.
Caracappa has been actively creating legislation
that addresses quality of life and housing issues. One piece of legislation of which Caracappa is the architect and has been signed into law, requires tow truck operators to fully clean the site of an accident including road flares, and loose parts from vehicles. "This is not only a quality of life issue that addresses eyesores," Caracappa explained, pointing out that the legislation addresses safety issues wherein debris left behind at accident scenes can ricochet and hit other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, and can do damage to other vehicles and be deadly to motorcyclists. This county law has subsequently been picked up by State Senator Mario Mattera and has passed both wings in the state house, and is awaiting signature by Governor Kathy Hochul to become New York State law.
Another piece of legislation calls for housing developers to set aside units for IDD/ ADA communities as well as for veterans to be in compliance and set aside 10 percent of housing at 80% of Average Median Income. Caracappa is the architect of this legislation which has also been signed into law. "We need to set aside a certain number of housing units for our veterans who are transitioning from active duty," Caracappa said, noting that of the 62 counties in New York State, Suffolk is home
to the greatest concentration of veterans. Caracappa is a staunch supporter for creating and setting aside a dedicated number of "true work force housing units that create opportunities for residents to stay on track with a five-year goaloriented plan" in order for them to stay in Suffolk over the long term, rather than relocate out of the county. "The county must provide opportunities for our young workforce so they can afford to live here," Caracappa said.
Asked what makes him the better candidate to serve residents and business owners in the 4th LD and the county as a whole, Caracappa cites his 34 years with Suffolk County Water Authority, where he served 14 years as President of Local 393 UWUA; he has served seven and a half years as a Middle Country School Board trustee with experience working on budgets and negotiating employee contracts; a member of Selden Civic Association; and as Vice President of Selden-Centereach-Three Village Little League for 15 years where he also coached and served as umpire, as assets which he brings to the table as a county legislator. Caracappa told South Shore Press: "I am more highly qualified and capable of doing this job than anyone. I came to this position with the tools right from the beginning. My roots
run very, very deep in this community where, if people had issues, they would call me even before I was elected, because I had relationships with all of the elected officials and law enforcement. When I was elected, I hit the ground running," Caracappa said, pointing out his pedigree in politics: "I was raised around politics - my mom, Rose Caracappa served in the Suffolk County Legislature for more than 15 years, and my brother was also a Legislator. I was born and raised in this community. I am honored that my community supports me. I take this job very seriously because if I fail my job, then I would have failed my family and my community, and that's something I will never, ever do."
Caracappa is endorsed by the entire coalition of Suffolk County Law Enforcement agencies; Suffolk County Community College Faculty; Long Island Federation of Laborers; Nassau-Suffolk Building Trades; UWUA Local 393; Laborers Union Local 66; Communication Workers; and IBEW. He is most proud of his daughters Rosine, Gloria and Julianna.
Tim Hall, the Democrat candidate, will appear on the ballot but could not be reached for an interview. The Suffolk County Democrat Committee reported that Hall is "not running an active campaign, and is not doing interviews."
In response to the ongoing migrant crisis and the sanctuary city policies exacerbating it, Congressman Nick LaLota (R, NY-01), a House Committee on Homeland Security member, has introduced the "No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act." The bill aims to withhold federal financial assistance from sanctuary cities, including New York City, grappling with an influx of migrants.
LaLota's bill has garnered support from a coalition of original cosponsors, including Reps. Andrew Garbarino (R, NY-02), Anthony D'Esposito (R, NY-04), Mike Lawler (R, NY-17), Brandon Williams (R, NY-22), Nick Langworthy (R, NY-23), Claudia Tenney (R, NY-24), Carlos Gimenez (R, FL-26), and Michael McCaul (R, TX-10).
"However illogical, New York Democrats are free to keep their failed sanctuary city policies which are helping to cause New York City's migrant crisis and the $12 billion Mayor Adams says it will cost," said LaLota. "But these officials, who can repeal those costly policies any day, cannot
expect other states' taxpayers to fund their indiscretion while their policies remain in place."
The bill's primary objective is to address the root causes of the migrant crisis rather than merely treating its symptoms.
Rep. Garbarino stressed the importance of holding sanctuary cities accountable and cited the policies of New York City as contributing to the crisis. "Progressive policies like those implemented by New York City and New York State have brought the border crisis to our doorstep," he emphasized.
Rep. D'Esposito expressed his support for the bill, saying, "I am proud to cosponsor the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act, which will ensure these 'sanctuary cities' do not receive federal funding until they stop serving as safe harbors for those who flaunt our laws and start prioritizing American national security."
The bill proposes restricting federal funding to jurisdictions with sanctuary city policies. This would affect resources allocated for addressing or aiding the migrant crisis, including food,
shelter, healthcare services, legal services, and transportation costs.
New York City has witnessed the passage of over 100,000 migrants since the spring of 2022, with more than 58,000 still under the city's care. A recent Siena College Poll highlighted widespread concern among New Yorkers, with 82%
viewing the influx of migrants as a serious problem and over 50% considering it a severe problem. Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have expressed the limitations of their capacity to handle the situation.
In August, Rep. LaLota led a letter to Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams, addressing the challenges posed
by the migrant crisis and urging them to take action.
As the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act gains traction in Congress, its proponents seek to refocus efforts on addressing the migrant crisis at its source while ensuring that taxpayer dollars are allocated effectively and by the nation's laws.
The Adams administration has unveiled updated flyers discouraging migrants from seeking refuge within its borders. This new development raises questions about the city's ability to manage the ongoing influx of asylum seekers while grappling with mounting financial challenges.
The updated flyer reads: "New York City's (NYC) resources have been exhausted. Asylum Seekers are now receiving letters to vacate shelters. You will not be placed in a hotel. NYC is among the most expensive cities globally; you may find better options in more affordable cities. NYC cannot facilitate your work permit application, and securing employment may prove challenging."
This revised message contrasts an earlier flyer issued in April 2022, which conveyed a different tone: "Since April 2022, more than 90,000 migrants have arrived in New York City (NYC). There is no guarantee that we will have the capacity to provide shelter and services to new arrivals. Housing in NYC comes at a premium. The cost of living, including food, transportation,
and other essentials, is among the highest in the United States (U.S.). We encourage you to consider other cities as you make your decision about where to settle in the U.S."
Adams has advocated suspending the Right to Shelter policy to address the crisis. However, this law remains in force, obligating NYC to furnish shelter to all who request it. Providing housing for undocumented migrants comes at a staggering daily cost of roughly $10 million.
Hochul saw her expressed support for revisiting or rescinding New York's "right to shelter" law amid the migrant crisis. She argued that the law was initially intended to address the needs of homeless men on the streets dealing with AIDS and was later expanded to include families. Hochul clarified that it was never meant to guarantee "an unlimited, universal right or obligation on the city to have to house literally the entire world."
Mayor Adams, who once publicly pledged to uphold NYC's sanctuary status, has recently issued a dire warning, stating, "This crisis will destroy New York." This statement marks a
significant departure from his earlier position in October 2021 when he declared on Twitter, "Yes, New York City will remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration."
The financial implications of sheltering migrants are staggering, with NYC outpacing all other U.S. hotspots in spending on the crisis. The city incurs a daily cost of $387 per migrant family, translating to an estimated expenditure of $12 billion through mid-2025. Notably, this daily cost of $11,610 far exceeds the average monthly
individuals, a modest $1,200.
Despite the discouraging tone of these flyers, they appear to conflict with the recent commitments of the city and state to assist "asylum seekers" in pursuing legal employment opportunities. Collaborative efforts involving the city, state, and federal authorities include conducting extensive surveys to identify eligible asylum applicants and establishing legal clinics to facilitate the application process.
Mayor Adams has also
reduced the duration of stay for adult migrants in shelters, shortening it from 60 to 30 days. This adjustment has raised concerns in surrounding counties regarding the ultimate accommodations for these undocumented individuals. Additionally, NYC has discreetly extended its contracts with over 100 hotels serving as emergency shelters and plans to allocate an additional $1 billion for immigrant hotel accommodations over the next three years. The city's contract, originally slated to conclude this year, has been extended until August 2026, with a total cost of $1.365 billion—nearly five times the initial price tag of $237 million.
As NYC recently dropped its lawsuit against municipalities, including Suffolk County, the long-term ramifications of this decision remain uncertain. As the deadline approaches for migrants to leave shelters while more continue to arrive in the city daily, NYC faces the complex challenge of balancing its humanitarian obligations with the need to protect its residents' interests amid mounting financial pressures.
Running for reelection in Brookhaven's First District is the town board's lone Democrat, Jonathan Kornreich, who's facing a challenge from political newcomer Gary Bodenburg, a special education teacher and assistant principal.
Winning a special election for the seat left vacant in 2021 when Valerie Cartwright became a judge, Kornreich served on the Three Village Board of Education for 14 years, with a number of years as president.
The Stony Brook resident led the Three Village Civic Association and served on the executive boards of the Boys and Girls Club of Suffolk County and the North Shore Montessori School.
After graduation from SUNY Albany, Kornreich started his first business, a swimming pool service company, which he sold after 15 years and became a "serial entrepreneur" investing in a number of concerns.
Bodenburg, of Port Jefferson Station, has worked in special education since 2003 and is also an assistant principal for the Western Suffolk BOCES Summer School Program. He holds an associate degree from Suffolk Community College and an Elementary and Special Education Certification from St. Joseph's College. He also earned a Masters and Educational Leadership Certification from Stony Brook University and defended a doctoral dissertation in 2016 at St. John's University.
Both candidates pointed to development issues as primary concerns of the district, as well as vacant stores and the local economy. As the only member of the opposing party on the town board, Kornreich said he works well with the Republicans and joins in taking credit for Brookhaven's Triple A credit rating and its ability to stay within the state's tax cap year after year. Bodenburg says he will also "fixate" on the town's financial health and expressed concern over the condition of some of the roads in the district
"What's most important is family and community," Bodenburg stressed. "The one thing that I've done that's the most important to me is being a dad, and that's the way I step into this, to keep the family dynamic, keep our families together, and continue to improve our communities and this divisive nature that we all kind of survive in. We have to break that; we have to bring people together. That's my mission."
and multi-family housing, especially off-campus homes occupied by large numbers of students attending Stony Brook.
"I'm not even in office, and I have people contacting me for help because we have 17 people living in a one-family home; we have eight cars parked in front of their house," Bodenburg said. "These are simple code violations that could be addressed immediately."
Immigration, Airbnbs, zombie homes, and off-campus housing are top issues in the district, he said. Bodenburg didn't refer to his effort as a campaign but an overall effort to give his young daughter the same opportunities he had. "I don't even call it a campaign; I don't even call it an election, I call it a rescue mission, and part of what we need to do as not only individuals but as families, as communities, and as a party, we need to put our best foot forward. I'm essentially coming out of the woodwork to do this; I'm putting myself out there; I'm putting my reputation out there just because I'm trying to do it for my daughter."
The incumbent councilman said his experience in construction management gives him an edge in dealing with the mechanics of development proposals and land use. "One of the primary challenges that we're wrestling with is how to balance the fact that we're near our carrying capacity based on our current infrastructure, roads, and sewers, and we have to balance that against the reality that the economy has changed and our current inventory of buildings don't match what we need," he stated. "For better or worse, we need to create mixed uses, retail and residential– that's what makes the numbers work."
The councilman went on to say, "We're in a race against the clock in acquiring sensitive parcels to protect the community from over-development. Once they're developed, that's it, they're gone." Waterfront and parcels adjacent to open space are at the top of the list for preservation, he noted.
Kornreich noted that small businesses are vital to creating a sense of place in a community, and although he said he is proud to attend ribbon cutting ceremonies to welcome new
businesses, the "real work is cutting red tape so they can grow and thrive." He's particularly proud of the revitalization of the Train Car Park in Port Jefferson Station, preserving the Roe Tavern, and improvements at Setauket Pond and West Meadow. Kornreich also noted the area's growing Asian population and their "outsized impact" on the community. "They are an active, vibrant sector and come here for our academic excellence," said the former school board president, who pointed out that he is an advocate of the town's Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (AANHPI)
Advisory Board.
"I've been a union vice president, so I've been able to see the moderate side of politics because, at this stage, you can't be extreme one way or the other; you have to be able to work with everybody," Bodenburg said.
The 1st Council District includes Belle Terre, East Setauket, Old Field, Poquott, Port Jefferson, Port Jefferson Station, Setauket, Stony Brook, and Terryville. It's a suburban district that is home to about 80,000 people. They elect their town council representative to a four-year term and pay them $76,742 per year.
His name is on one bill most residents don’t look forward to seeing—Louis J. Marcoccia–the receiver of taxes who, in the Town of Brookhaven, is an elected official. He goes before the voters in November in a race featuring challenger Tricia Chiaramonte.
Marcoccia comes to the campaign with 15 years under his belt as tax receiver, and is running on his record of creating efficiencies in the office including the ability to pay taxes online and creating a web portal that provides a wealth of tax information. The RepublicanConservative is a former businessman with a wide range of technology, management, and finance expertise. His Democrat opponent has not responded to a number of calls seeking information about her campaign, which has no searchable Internet or Social Media presence.
Marcoccia said his approach to running an office that collects over $1.4 billion in taxes a year “centers on handson management.” He believes that “results are accomplished when an elected official acts like a CEO, and is not afraid to be involved in key aspects of the office including, strategic planning, public outreach, project management, re-engineering, and implementation of solutions.”
The tax receiver successfully implemented this approach in 1994 when he started a computer consulting firm with a 100- member staff, putting
into operation solutions for over 70 organizations throughout the country. He’s recognized as a national expert in technology, having testified at U.S. House and Senate Banking Committee hearings. Marcoccia is a national and internationally known speaker on software upgrade issues having offered solutions to major corporations. He’s also developed, designed and instructed at his own technology workshops.
The elected official has authored, and been featured in, various publications dealing with technology issues including Computer World, The Economists, PC Week, and Application Trends. As an adjunct professor, Marcoccia
has shared his knowledge with others in 44 states and eight different countries.
Like other tax receivers before him, Marcoccia says he “just collects the taxes and doesn’t raise them.” The lion’s share of the monies pass through his office on the way to school districts, fire departments, and other levels of government. His website features a sample tax bill so residents can see how their funds are distributed. Marcoccia resides in East Setauket with his wife Candace and family. He was first elected in 2007 and is vying for another four-year term. The tax receiver runs townwide and earns $112,800 annually.
When residents in Suffolk County's 3rd Legislative District go to the polls on November 7, they will be asked to choose between Republican incumbent James Mazzarella, and Democrat challenger Thaddeus O'Neil, to represent them as their voice in the County. Mazzarella will appear on both the Republican and Conservative lines of the ballot. O'Neil will appear on the Democrat and Working Family Party lines.
Mazzarella was elected to the County Legislature in a special election in May 2021. Since taking office and throughout the span of his two year and four month tenure, a number of initiatives have been enacted. "I've implemented and was a part of the groundbreaking of the Forge Watershed Sewer District," Mazzarella said. "We will now move forward connecting 2,000 households and 200 businesses in the next several months. This project," Mazzarella continued, "will single-handedly have the biggest environmental and economic impact that this District has ever seen."
From a public safety standpoint, Mazzarella notes that he has led the successful move to increase the number of uniformed police officers in the streets, and initiated the first-ever foot patrol on Neighborhood Road in Mastic Beach. Mazzarella was instrumental in passing legislation to bring back a more technologically-advanced shot spotter gunshot detection system.
High on Mazzarella's agenda of priorities moving into the next term includes expansion of the sewer district into the commercial areas of Mastic Beach, and to move forward with the next phase of residential connections, (Phase III), of the Forge Watershed Sewer District.
Also on the forefront of Legislator Mazzarella's goals is to oversee the groundbreaking and construction of the new Smith Point Bridge, with a new focus on opportunities to develop the Smith Point Marina and a new recreational area on the beach side of the bridge. "The current Smith Point Bridge has come to the end of its useful life," Mazzarella said. "Construction of the new bridge will bring jobs to our area, and will ensure that our beautiful coastal community will have access to Fire Island for generations to come." The new bridge will be built to the
O'Neil said. "I grew up on the water clamming on the Great South Bay with my father, and surfing at Smith Point Beach. We live on an island, and we must protect our sole source (aquifer)," he said.

west of the current bridge. Mazzarella said construction is slated to commence during the first half of 2024, and is projected to take two years to complete.
Infrastructure and the environment are also on Mazzarella's "to do" list: "By securing new funding in the capital budget, I will continue my focus on the revitalization of the Mastic-Shirley corridor along Montauk Highway."
With an eye on "maintaining the rural characters of our communities," the legislator asserts he will maintain his focus to purchase and preserve more open space.
From a fiscal standpoint, Mazzarella said he plans to clean up the county's finances and poor bond rating: "Through Ed Romaine's leadership as supervisor, Brookhaven Town has been able to achieve an AAA Bond Rating and pay off all of the municipality debts. With Ed at the helm in Suffolk County, I am confident that we will follow the same trend in Suffolk County under his leadership," Mazzarella said.
Mazzarella cites his experience and no time for a learning curve in the Legislature as his desire to continue serving the people of the 3rd LD and throughout Suffolk County. "As a Civic leader, library trustee, zoning board member and lifelong resident, I have acquired the experience to bring the pulse of the residents to my elected position," Mazzarella said. "In my current term, I have proven to be an effective voice for my constituency. More importantly," Mazzarella continued, "my accomplishments have had a positive impact on the entire legislative district. Going forward, my knowledge, experience, and relationships in Suffolk County government will further bolster the trajectory of progress in the 3rd LD."
At press time, Mazzarella's endorsements include
Suffolk County Association of Municipal Employees, the entire Law Enforcement Union Coalition, Long Island Federation of Laborers Local 66, CWA 1109, Suffolk Community College Faculty Association, and Utility Workers Local 393.
O'Neil was born and raised in Suffolk County. He is an associate adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design in New York City. O'Neil commutes to NYC twice a week where he teaches two half days. If elected, the challenger said he would further scale back his teaching duties.
O'Neil co-founded the Fire Place Initiative, a not-for-profit which facilitates community organized conservation efforts. The Bluewater Vagabond Surf Festival initiative falls under the Fire Place umbrella, which aims to raise funds and an awareness to create equal access to the natural environment. As an entrepreneur, O'Neil's small business, Thaddeus O'Neil, LLC, was a top 10 finalist to receive an award upon being nominated by the Council on Fashion Designers of America and Vogue.
This is O'Neil's inaugural run for elected office. The candidate said he was approached to run for the South Country School Board last year, but withdrew his name from the ballot because, he said, "there was a great slate of candidates on the ballot."
Asked why he is running for election to the 3rd LD, O'Neil told South Shore Press in a phone interview last week: "We need better representation in this District. There was a paper candidate, but with 85,000 people in our district, these constituents deserve to be given a real choice to elect someone to represent them, so I stepped up to the plate."
O'Neil is making the environment the cornerstone for his campaign. "The wellbeing of the environment and water quality are important for tourism and for agriculture,"
O'Neil said the Water Quality bill proposed to be put on the November ballot was rejected by a Republican majority vote of the Legislature. "It's incumbent upon us, as public servants, to show up if we're going to do the job properly; since records have been taken, we now have the worst water quality on record this year," O'Neil continued. "This legislation, just to decide whether to put it on the ballot for the voters to decide, was split right down partisan lines - republicans voted 'no' and democrats voted 'yes'. I'm not going to speculate," O'Neil continued, "but water quality should not be a partisan issue, because we live on an island and the water is our lifeblood. I can't understand for the life of me why they didn't vote just to get this on the ballot for the residents to decide," O'Neil stated.
Asked about plans he has to improve the county's low bond rating, O'Neil said: "It's an issue I definitely have to look more into; fiscal responsibility is paramount, and I can say that the state and federal governments place unfunded mandates on the county, and I would work to build a partnership with the county. Suffolk County is bigger than 11 states and needs to be run like a state," O'Neil continued, "and I'm going to fight like heck for our fair share, and I'll go up to Albany and down to DC to get this accomplished, because we as a county need to be strategic partners with our state and federal elected officials."
O'Neil criticized the state of Suffolk's roadways and infrastructure which, he said, "need to be tackled with the help of experts. We need to consult and hire people who know what they're doing and not give away political patronage jobs."
O'Neil said he is "excited" about the eventual construction of the new bridge that will replace the existing Smith Point Bridge. "Smith Point is a very heavy relied upon resource for our community," he said. O'Neil said he will place public safety, water quality and the environment as priorities on his agenda if he is elected. He did not return a text subsequent to his interview asking about endorsements.

With long-time Councilman Daniel Panico running for town supervisor, there will be a change in representation for Brookhaven’s 6th District, with voters having the choice between attorney and planning board member Karen Dunne Kesnig and Kerry Spooner, the founder of Sound Justice Initiative.
Supported by Panico to succeed him, Dunne has served on the Eastport-South Manor School Board for 22 years and has been the president of the Manorville Chamber of Commerce since 2005. Running on the Republican and Conservative lines, she’s been in private practice for 38 years specializing in estate matters. Spooner, a Democrat also running on the Working Families line, has 20 years of experience teaching in higher education and has worked in various positions with Suffolk County, according to her on-line bio. She did not respond to requests for additional information about her campaign.
“It's been a really interesting experience being part of the planning board,” Dunne said. “I've learned a lot about the Town of Brookhaven and the good and the bad regarding development issues and the red tape people have to go through, some of which I think is ridiculous, but some of which is
certainly needed.” She put town planning into two categories: preserving open space in the eastern part of the district and revitalizing properties in the west.
As a member of the board of education, Dunne admitted that she wasn’t liked by everyone saying, “but that didn't really matter to me. What mattered to me was the kids and the taxpayers and trying to do what was best for whoever's out there and that would be the same way I would look at this.”
If elected, Dunne would not only follow in the footsteps of Panico, but also Keith Romaine, the son of the current Brookhaven supervisor, Edward Romaine, who passed away suddenly in 2010. “I've worked with Dan since he and Keith came door to door way back when soliciting my oldest daughter to be a Young Republican,” the Manorville resident remembered. I got to know them through the years. I believe Dan knows that I'm an independent thinker, that I can think on my feet,” Dunne said, adding “I’m not about being warm and fuzzy, which is probably not a nice thing to say about yourself, but it's a strength and a weakness. I really don't care about offending people; I’m more about what the issues are and making the tough choices. Once I set my mind to something I have always succeeded in anything I've ever done, whether it was running for student council during law school or college or the
school board.”
In a candid interview with the South Shore Press Editorial Board, Dunne said she never aspired to serve on the town board, “but the more I learned about it, and as time's gone on, I'm really excited at the possibility.” According to the candidate, “I've never been particularly political. I've always been a registered Republican, I still very much am, but that's not how I make my decisions. My decisions are based on what I think is right based on the facts and the information that I have before me.”
In addition to development and land preservation, a key issue Dunne said the town has to grapple with is the closure of the town landfill. “I've certainly been trying over the past month or so to educate myself a lot more about it and I know it's probably one of, if
not the most important issues, that we'll be dealing with in terms of both what are we going to do about it and how we're going to make up the revenue that we no longer get when the landfill is no longer there. It's going to take all six of us, plus our supervisor, to make those decisions,” she said.
Selected by the GOP over other hopefuls from the Mastic-Shirley Area, which makes up the bulk of the 6th District population-wise, Dunne noted, “In the few months since I've been a candidate I have spent a lot of time going to events and different things in the TriHamlet area–the Mastic Beach Property Owners Association, the firehouse, the different community groups–and it seems there are a lot more issues that need to be addressed in that area than anywhere else,” Dunne said, pointing out that she’s met with the Pattersquash Civic

Previously, Spooner worked for Suffolk County Department of Labor, Licensing & Consumer Affairs in the Suffolk Works Employment Program where she worked to decrease unemployment.
“We need a town board that is accountable to ALL of Brookhaven,” Spooner’s literature says. “Too many people are left out of, and discouraged from participating in, town board discussions and its decision-making process. We need those communities traditionally excluded and everyday working people who struggle financially to support themselves and their families at the table. Our town deserves effective economic public policy that restores and sustains our environment here in Brookhaven.”
Highlighting the impact of fentanyl and other deadly drugs on the community, Suffolk’s three top law enforcement officials, District Attorney Raymond Tierney, Sheriff Errol Toulon, and Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison, turned out for the opening of a drug treatment center in Oakdale.
Family Residences and Essential Enterprises–FREE–supports more than 4,000 individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, mental illness, and traumatic brain injury and now
has a cutting-edge facility to treat residents with fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, prescription pill, and other addictions. In operation since 1977, the center will provide a unique, comprehensive approach to assist those with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
“The overdose crisis in Suffolk is mind-numbing,” District Attorney Tierney said, noting that the county suffered 390 overdose deaths in the last year. He pledged to keep fighting for tougher laws from state leaders on bail reform and a “Death by Dealer” statute. “We’re going to Albany with the families of those
who have been impacted by the drug crisis. Maybe they’ll listen to them.”
Tierney recently announced the arrest of the dealers responsible for selling a deadly mix of fentanyl, cocaine, and a new potent drug infiltrating Long Island, Tranq, that killed a 30-year-old mother from Smithtown. A number of the defendants in that case were set free thanks to the state’s cashless bail law. In addition to giving him more teeth to go after dealers, Tierney is pushing to change the eightounce threshold necessary for bail on Fentanyl cases and have Tranq listed as a controlled substance.
Sheriff Toulon praised the FREE program, noting that when he started out in corrections on Riker’s Island, there were no outside services to help inmates and their families. He praised the Family Residences and Essential Enterprises program since it also addresses mental illness, which is a major contributing factor to drug abuse.
Harrison, the police commissioner, noted that in addition to the many overdose deaths, there were hundreds of cases where the victims survived, situations that have a terrible effect on their families and the community
in general. “The services offered by FREE are essential because they save lives,” he said.
“This is a community effort, and this is a community resource, and we will make a change together for the betterment of our community,” said FREE Chief Program Officer Nicole Wolf, who pointed out that
addiction is not just a problem here in Suffolk, but across the nation. According to Wolf, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that many individuals who develop substance use disorders are also diagnosed with mental health disorders. “This facility addresses the co-occurring link by treating both.”
Faced with contamination from "Forever Chemicals," residents in Manorville will soon be able to hook up to public water thanks to a 20,000-foot water main extension recently underway by the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA). The project is in response to a year's long effort by residents to get fresh drinking water to the area.
In 2017, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services began assessing private wells in Manorville and discovered the presence of the carcinogenic chemicals PFOA and PFOS. Introduced in the 1940s, the polyfluoroalkyl substances are commonly used in many applications, including firefighting foams, non-stick coatings, packaging, carpets, and furniture. The compounds are known to not chemically decompose in nature and represent a threat to the health of those using local well water, officials said.
"These families have been living with the burden of unsafe drinking water for far too long. I am happy to report that safe, high-quality drinking water is on the way," said Water
Authority Chairman Charles Lefkowitz. "Thanks to the efforts of our federal elected officials, New York State, and the Town of Brookhaven, this project is fully funded. Without their leadership, this may have never happened."
The first phase of the project will extend a water main along Halsey Manor Road to reach homes in the vicinity of Primrose Path. Construction is expected to take about three months, with residents connected to the system in the next phase. In total, 116 homes are slated for hookups.
The project is funded by grants secured by the authority, including $3.5 million from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that was made available through the efforts of Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and former Rep. Lee Zeldin. An additional $1.6 million Intermunicipal Grant is on tap from New York State. Finally, the Town of Brookhaven has agreed to provide an additional $2 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds. Without the $7.1 in grant monies, the project would have cost each resident tens of thousands of dollars, they noted.
According to the EPA, "Human studies have found associations between PFOA and/ or PFOS exposure and several types of health effects including the liver, the immune system, the cardiovascular system, human development (e.g., decreased birth weight), and cancer."
"This is a great day for clean drinking water in Manorville," Schumer said. "For years, I have worked with residents, advocates, and local leaders to bring federal funding for safe drinking water to Manorville families with contaminated water wells, providing $13.5 million in federal funds directly
and through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Now, the project is underway, and I applaud the Suffolk County Water Authority and its partners for their work to bring secure, safe drinking water to these residents and all the residents they serve across Suffolk County."
State Senator Dean Murray said, "Ensuring all of our residents have a clean, highquality water supply is a top priority, and I applaud all levels of government for working together to make this project a reality. In particular, I would like to thank the Suffolk County Water Authority for their hard
work and dedication. I'm excited that, very soon, hundreds of Manorville residents will have access to our top-of-the-line public water system."
Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine said, "For years, I have fought alongside Deputy Supervisor Dan Panico to bring clean water to the people of this community. Today, we are seeing the fruition of that work with the Suffolk County Water Authority bringing clean, public water to these Manorville residents after years of contamination threatening their private wells. Once this project is complete, the quality of drinking water will be vastly improved, and residents can be assured that they will have clean, uncontaminated water for years to come. I thank the Suffolk County Water Authority for taking this important step to improve the quality of life for our residents."
The Suffolk County Water Authority is an independent public-benefit corporation operating under the Public Authorities Law of New York State. Serving approximately 1.2 million Suffolk County residents, the authority operates on a not-for-profit basis without taxing powers.
Surrounded by officials and cancer advocates from across Long Island, activist Geri Barish, founding member of 1 in 9 and executive director of the cancer resource center Hewlett House, received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Suffolk OTB.
“When my son, Michael, was diagnosed with cancer, he looked me in the eyes and asked,’What did l do wrong, Mom?’” Barish told a large crowd of supporters. “From then on, l declared war on cancer, and l promised him I would find out why this happened to him.”
The Baldwin resident, a fivetime cancer survivor herself, dedicated her life to finding a cure and advocating for her 13-year-old son, who lost his battle with the disease at 25 while waiting for a
double lung and heart transplant.
“We went to Washington, and the surgeon general turned us down for funding research on Long Island, so I said we would go to Congress,” Barish told the story. “He said he didn’t want the politicians in his test tubes, but we got the funding anyway, thanks to Senator Al D’Amato and Congressman Peter King.”
Through her efforts, a cancer map was created for Nassau and Suffolk, a study that found one-in-nine residents were affected by the disease. Focus was made to find genetic causes, and groundbreaking strides were made at the Cold Spring Laboratory, Barish noted.
“We’re honored to be presenting this award to Geri Barish, a cancer fighter who has done so much for so many,” said Phil Boyle,
president and CEO of the Suffolk Regional Off-Track Betting Corporation, which issues the achievement award annually. “We thank her and all of the groups and volunteers who help with this cause.”
“Thousands, if not millions, of people can thank Geri Barish for making cancer research a priority
in this country,” said one of the ceremony’s attendees, Suffolk District Attorney Raymond Tierney. “She was a mom who was inspired by her own personal situation to become an advocate for everyone.”
“She really helps not just those who are affected but also their families,” said legislator Nick
Even Brookhaven Town Council candidate Karen Dunne Kesnig weighed in on the issue, “It shouldn’t cost you money to do what Long Island is known for,” she said. “People are out here fishing; they are with their kids, enjoying the weather, the fresh air, and now the state comes along and says you have to pay us to do that. It’s absurd.”
“Saltwater fishing is deeply
ingrained in the culture of the Town of Brookhaven, providing a source of recreation and enjoyment for residents and tourists,” Romaine told the governor. “It supports countless small businesses which are key components of Long Island’s economy. Imposing a fee for saltwater fishing would discourage participation, especially among occasional fishermen and tourists, thereby diminishing the
Caracappa at the ceremony. “I lost an aunt to cancer; everyone here on Long Island has lost someone. Geri Barish is really doing God’s work.”
“She is a fierce warrior in the battle against cancer,” said Suffolk Comptroller John Kennedy, who attended the event with his wife, Legislator Leslie Kennedy. “The cancer survival rate is much better for women and men thanks to her,” the legislator said. “She’s fabulous.”
Other attendees included legislators Trish Bergin, Manuel Esteban, Dominick Thorne, and Steve Flotteron, and Hempstead Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby.

economic vitality of our island and participation in an activity cherished since our island was first settled.”
The state currently requires a license fee to fish in freshwater, with the money supposedly going toward conservation. The saltwater proposal is for a $10 fee, and it is unclear if it will be required of children.
“They’re trying to screw Long Island again,” said Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine in calling out the governor and New York Democrats for proposing a license fee to fish in saltwater. “Long Island has the majority of the saltwater fishing in the state, and this fee is directly aimed at us,” Romaine said Sunday with some of his GOP colleagues at Union Avenue Dock in Center Moriches to rally local anglers against the plan.
“A saltwater fishing license? What a ridiculous idea,” said Victor Lagattolla of Ridge, who was wetting a line at the popular fishing pier. “We’re tired of sending our tax money to Albany only to be handed down restrictions on what we can catch.” The angler noted that the number of fish you’re allowed to keep “hardly makes it worth it.”
“We are writing to express our deep concern with the recent actions taken by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation to reintroduce the paid saltwater fishing license and to convey our intent, on behalf of the 500,000 residents of the Town
of Brookhaven, to oppose the measure,” Romaine said in a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul.
The Supervisor noted that the license fee was imposed in 2009 and repealed two years later due to intense public opposition. The deciding vote to levy the new tax came from former Senator Brian Foley, whose support of the fee, along with an MTA commuter tax and other unpopular actions, drove him out of office after only one term.
“The people of Long Island have a right to fish in our waters without having to pay a fee to the state,” said Town Councilman Dan Panico. “The governor seems to have an ax to grind against the people of Long Island,” he said, noting that Hochul lost to Congressman Lee Zeldin by significant margins in Nassau and Suffolk.
Joining in the protest was Suffolk Legislator Jim Mazzarella, who pointed out the impact a saltwater license fee would have on local businesses. “We have charter boats, bait stores–people buy supplies to go fishing,” the legislator said. “They’re all paying too much in taxes as it is.”

Migrants taking advantage of New York City’s free housing offer may find themselves in other cities as the mayor has unveiled a plan to pay for rentals in other parts of the state. Buffalo, Binghamton, and other cities will see migrants moving in with housing vouchers paid by Big Apple taxpayers. It’s the first time the city will pay for the homeless to live elsewhere as Mayor Eric Adams struggles to provide shelter for up to 113,000 immigrants who took him up on his Sanctuary City invitation. The move by Adams is also designed to save the city some money since housing costs outside the five boroughs are much less expensive. He’s calculated that the migrant crisis, which he said will “destroy New York City,” will cost taxpayers upwards of $12 billion over the next two years.
He’s also challenging a longstanding legal settlement that requires the city to provide shelter to anyone in need.
“These reforms will give longtime New Yorkers the ability to move out of our city’s shelter system to other parts of the state with more affordable housing options,” Adams said. “We hope our partners across the state will greet these longtime New Yorkers with open arms and good job opportunities.”
Officials outside of the city are against Adams shifting his migrant problem to their communities.
"While counties recognize the dire situation the city is facing, we are gravely concerned that the plan announced today will only exacerbate the affordable housing crisis that counties across the state are experiencing," said Association of Counties Executive Director
Stephen Acquario. "We are also concerned that this action will add additional strain on county services like mental health, public health, and education, that are already stretched to the breaking point in many counties."
Acquario charged that the situation is proof of federal negligence and the refusal of the Biden administration to address the migrant crisis.
"Shifting a problem from one part of the state to another does not solve anything — it simply creates more problems," Acquario said.
Gov. Kathy Hochul is on board with moving the migrants around the state, stating, "There's no way of knowing how many people that will be, but it's also not forcing them to go upstate," Hochul said. "This is just one more tool they have to open it up."

• Dan Panico will increase law department investigators to address quality of life concerns of our residents.

“After careful review, the above referenced coalition members are proud to acknowledge your leadership and support of all law enforcement professionals, along with your dedication to public safety. It is with great confidence that our coalition has unanimously agreed that you are the best candidate to hold this office.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, derided by Democrats for providing transportation to migrants asking to go to New York, was in the Big Apple rubbing salt in the wounds of the politicians who invited them in.
“The migrant crisis is something that is unsustainable; I think those are the words of your mayor,” Abbott told the crowd at Manhattan’s Yale Club, where he was a guest speaker. “The challenge that the City of New York and the State of New York are dealing with, it’s all about one person: Joe Biden,” Abbott said. “Joe Biden can flip that switch any day and stop New York from having to deal with the consequences of an open border. They must prevail upon their president for more than just money; they need a change in policy.”
Responding to Sanctuary invites from city and state politicians, nearly 120,000 migrants have flooded into New York after crossing Biden’s open border in Texas, Arizona, and other southern states. With border cities overrun by the migrants, Abbott was only too happy to bus them to New York.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul didn’t take kindly to Abbott’s chastise, sniffing that she “will not be taking advice” from her Texas counterpart, adding that his statements are “pure politics” and that his time would be better spent urging Republicans to stop blocking immigration reforms.
Mayor Eric Adams, who recently said the migrant crisis will “destroy New York City,” teamed up with Hochul to pressure Biden into lifting work requirements for thousands of Venezuelans by giving them protected status.
“There probably could not be a worse strategy, a worse policy than temporary protected status,” Abbott said. “Temporary protected status leads to permanent magnet status. They’ll be attracting millions and more people to come to this country illegally.”
Adams has been repeatedly rebuffed in asking Biden for more money to cover the $12 billion he said the migrants will cost over the next two years, while Hochul’s meeting with the president when he was at the United Nations resulted in no financial commitments from the White House.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo weighed in on the migrant crisis, urging his successor, Kathy Hochul, to sue the Biden Administration to recoup the billions of dollars it’s going to cost New Yorkers to support the thousands of illegal immigrants the president let into the country.
“The emperor has no clothes,” Cuomo said of Biden in putting the responsibility for immigration and border enforcement directly on the White House. “The states should sue the federal government for the entire fiasco,” he said.
Cuomo compared Biden and his fellow Democrats who put out sanctuary invites to the entire world to an “army marching off the cliff, one after the other. It makes no sense.”
Cuomo, whose resignation in 2021 in the midst of an alleged sexual misconduct scandal cleared the way for Hochul, went on: “This is not a political issue when we’re doing something that hurts the public and makes no sense. We have to stand up and say, `This makes no sense.’”
The way Cuomo sees it, the Biden administration should foot

The New York crime wave is far from abating as two MTA buses, both in service with riders aboard during rush hour, were struck by bullets during a shooting in Harlem.
One bus was struck in the back grill, while riders of the other saw a bullet fly through a side window. They weren’t the targets of the gunfire, which was believed to come from two young men firing at a man on the other side of West 125th Street. No one was hurt.
“There were about five shots and I saw one guy running into that building in the Grant Houses,” said a nearby resident. “The other one ran east down 125th Street.”
"It's a miracle no one got hit," read a statement from Transit Workers Union Local 100, noting that one of the buses was packed. One of the drivers was transported to an area hospital for an evaluation, the union said. “He wasn't injured, just really shaken up” from the incident.
The police have not made any arrests in the case.
Critics blame the crime wave on the city’s leadership which supports cashless bail and a procriminal atmosphere. Efforts to defund the police will become even more aggressive as Mayor Eric Adams ordered a 5% cut in
all city departments as he girds for the $12 billion he says he needs to support the 120,000 migrants that have flooded into the city. Stating that the migrant crisis will “destroy New York City,” Adams said cuts of up to 15% in law enforcement and other spending are possible.
the entire bill for the migrant crisis and not saddle local governments, especially New York City, with the costs. Mayor Eric Adams has been turned down for help repeatedly by Biden as he struggles with more than 113,000 migrants who took him up on his sanctuary offer. The mayor calculated it will cost taxpayers upwards of $12 billion to pay for the crisis which he said will “destroy” the city.
Under intense pressure from members of his own party to do something, Biden agreed to give thousands of Venezuelan asylum
seekers temporary protected status, making it easier for them to work legally in New York.
“Right now, the migrant issue is chaotic — and I’m not even talking about the border,” Cuomo said, calling it “bizarre” for the federal government to put the problem on the states without allowing them to issue work permits. “The states should just do it since the federal government has abdicated its responsibility,” the former governor declared. “The state must act to protect its own interest.”
It’s good news, bad news for the last remaining customers who receive Netflix DVDs in the mail: They won’t have to return them, but that’s it; they’ll be no more coming as the entertainment giant will stop home delivery.
After 25 years of service with an idea that put Blockbuster video stores out of business, Netflix will be online only as the vast majority of its customers find it preferable to stream instead of insert. The company’s profitability, to the unending chagrin of Blockbuster executives who could have bought the company for a relative song once upon a time, has transformed it into an entertainment giant.
The Silicon Valley founders of the company factored in planned obsolescence, realizing the vast majority of people would take to getting their flicks over the net rather than wait for the mailman. That time has come, and the remaining million mail customers will have to get accustomed to another format for their video fix.
"It's sad," DVD subscriber Amanda Konkle said as she waited for the arrival of her final disc, "The Nightcomers," a British horror film featuring Marlon Brando. "It makes me feel nostalgic. Getting these DVDs has been part of my routine for decades." The mail service was attractive to many since they could get obscure films, such as the 1971 Brando flick, that aren’t readily available online.
The move was always part of the Netflix strategy as it now boasts 238 million worldwide streaming subscribers and generated $31.5 billion in revenue last year.
"Those iconic red envelopes changed the way people watched shows and movies at home — and they paved the way for the shift to streaming," Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said.
"It is very bittersweet," said Marc Randolph, Netflix's CEO, when the company shipped its first DVD, "Beetlejuice," back in 1998. "We knew this day was coming, but the miraculous thing is that it didn't come 15 years ago."

Letitia James telegraphed to the world during her 2018 election campaign for New York State Attorney General that she is going to go after Donald Trump and his family. I cannot reference at any time in American history that a state Attorney General has shown such implicit bias towards an individual right out of the gate. Just on these grounds, the whole lawsuit against the Trump family she has pursued with a vengeance should be thrown out. She is going after Trump in search of a crime. Imagine a conservative prosecutor had said something like this about Obama right from the get-go without even knowing what they were looking for yet.
During the 2018 election, then candidate New York State Attorney General Letitia James is on camera saying that she is going to go after Trump. James said “I say one name, Donald Trump. That should motivate you to get off your *ss and vote. Oh, we are going to definitely sue him; we are going to be a real pain the *ss. He’s going to know my name personally.”
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron ruled that AG James’ lawsuit seeking
$250 million in penalties can move forward to trial. Trump will likely appeal the ruling.
The judge put a value on the Mar-a-Lago estate at a paltry $18 million dollars, claiming that the Trump organization inflated its value. I have been in the real estate industry for 35 years and I will tell you that $18 million on Palm Beach Island would get you bupkis or nothing near the size and scope and intrinsic historic value of Mar-a-Lago. Eric Trump went on the social media platform “X” last night and posted several listings in Palm Beach that were $40,000,000 and up that were 1/30th the size of the historic and pristine estate of Mar-a-Lago.
Eric Trump also stated on social media, "The real estate circles in Florida are laughing at this foolishness." Donald Trump, Jr. commented, "If Mara-Lago is worth $18 million… I’ll take 10 please!!!" Mar-o-Lago was built for businesswoman and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post in the 1920s and also has historic significance aside from its grandeur. It is probably worth hundreds of millions of dollars, a far cry from the judge’s claim.
But we already know that Trump cannot get a fair trial.
Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll can’t even remember what year she claimed to be sexually assaulted by Trump in the middle of the day and in the middle of Manhattan’s Bergdorf Goodman Department store right across from Trump’s office. She won her assault case with zero proof in an incredibly unsubstantiated claim. Wouldn’t you remember down to the minute, never mind the year, when and if you were sexually assaulted? Our justice system offers little justice for anyone on the ‘right’ and as Rudy Giuliani stated, the criminal and civil court system in this country has been basically hijacked by the left.
Letitia James said her office is seeking to make Trump pay $250 million, ban the Trumps from running NY businesses for good, ban Trump and the Trump Organization from buying commercial real estate in NY for five years and that she is making a criminal referral to the US Department of Justice. You might as well go after almost every developer in New York City if you want to make a case like this.
Trump took to Truth Social by stating, “In addition to the fact that my net worth is much greater than the number shown in the financial statements, there is a powerful disclaimer
clause….boldly stated on pages 1 and 2 explaining that there should be no reliance on the financial statements but instead everyone should do their own independent research, analysis and due diligence. This was fully accepted and acknowledged by the banks.” Trump didn’t hold back and continued, “This lawsuit never should have been brought. It is a politically motivated witch hunt by a racist attorney general, and a deranged, Trump hating judge. It is election interference as never seen before. No wonder people and companies are fleeing New York!”
But what’s another indictment? Trump facing more than 700 years in prison for nothing but being political opposition, while the Bidens get off scott-free on everything and his administration sinks the U.S. Like Trump says, no one in history has been subpoenaed more than his family and they are coming after me because they are coming after you. Trump will just add this as another arrow in his quiver as any honest person in America knows deep down inside what is driving all of this. And even if they take him down criminally, financially, or both, Trump will be forever martyred.
Congress approved a temporary funding bill in a last-minute move, averting an imminent government shutdown. The move, however, came with a price: a cutback on the pledged financial support to Ukraine.
Amid initial efforts by Republicans to trim nondefense expenditure and enforce rigorous immigration protocols, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pivoted early Saturday. He introduced an interim funding measure echoing the bipartisan sentiment in the Senate. The catch? A stark omission of $6 billion was initially designated for Ukraine.
This financial strategy guarantees that military personnel and the employees of the Defense Department will not miss their paychecks, preventing a furlough that could have impacted hundreds of thousands. However, eyebrows are raised over Congress' decision, particularly when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent visit to Capitol Hill resonates. Zelenskyy
fervently appealed for enhanced aid, emphasizing that the fate of the ongoing conflict hinges on external support.
This bridging measure, which ensures the government's operation until November 17, sailed through the House with a 335-91 majority. Following suit, the Senate endorsed the bill with an 88-9 vote.
However, the Pentagon's coffers seem strained. Currently, no financial provisions exist for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. Furthermore, the remaining $1.5 billion designated for replenishing U.S. weapons stocks dispatched to Kyiv will lapse on September 30. However, an unexpected silver lining appears in the form of prior accounting oversight, leaving the Pentagon with an unexpected $5.5 billion to continue weapon transfers to Ukraine beyond this fiscal year.
In August, the White House's call to Congress for an augmented $24 billion in military and economic aid to Ukraine met with resistance. The Senate, typically supportive of Ukrainian aid, revised this
amount to $6 billion. This sum comprised funds to restock U.S. armaments and the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
The adjusted $6 billion tag, however, remained contentious for McCarthy. Even as a notable portion of the House favors Ukrainian aid, opposition is mounting within the Republican segment. Recent legislative proceedings saw GOP leaders retracting $300 million intended for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative from the defense bill. This shift allowed the bill's passage, predominantly with intra-party support. In a subsequent move, a 311-117 majority in the House channeled those above $300 million for Ukraine to the Senate. Nevertheless, in an unexpected turn, several Republicans, formerly supportive in July, withdrew their backing.
This reshuffling facilitated the Senate's swift passage of the provisional funding bill. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a vocal opponent of the Ukrainian aid in the bill, had been stalling votes. With the aid's removal, his objections were quelled.
Since Russia's controversial invasion, Congress has historically sanctioned a cumulative aid of $113 billion for Ukraine in economic and security spheres.
Though the Defense Department dodged the dire implications of a shutdown, these interim bills are not without their shackles. Recent testimonies, like that of Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm.
Lisa Franchetti, underscored the Navy's looming challenge.
Pivotal shipbuilding programs hang in the balance without
the total fiscal 2024 defense bill. The temporary funding does grant a special provision for the Columbia-class submarine's procurement. However, other significant naval projects remain in limbo.
If the total budget remains elusive into the following year, the stipulations from May's debt ceiling accord kick in. Federal entities, including the Defense Department, will operate under a one-year continued resolution, subject to a 1% budgetary cut for FY24.
Following the recent GOP presidential debates, former President Donald Trump has again solidified his position as leader of the pack. While the 7 candidates offered their perspectives, the overall dynamics of the field saw only minor adjustments.
After the debate, levels of support for the candidates remained relatively stable. Latest polls indicate Ron DeSantis moved up from 51.0% to 51.9%, while Nikki Haley and Tim Scott experienced marginal gains, with their percentages increasing from 34.0% to 36.4% and 24.7% to 26.5%, respectively. Trump maintained a strong position, with support rising from 63.8% to 63.9% even in light of his current legal woes.
However, despite the nation facing many pressing issues, the debate focused on specific topics. Notably absent from the discussion were topics like Hunter Biden's recent indictment, the impeachment inquiry into President Joe
Biden, and the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussions on inflation were also lacking, with the conversation primarily revolving around border security, fentanyl, immigration, and foreign policy.
Surprisingly, the candidates did not delve deeply into President Biden's age, which has emerged as a potential point of vulnerability in polling. The "generational change" theme, previously emphasized by Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, did not receive significant attention during the debate.
While former President Trumprefrainedfromproviding real-time commentary during the first two debates to avoid drawing attention away from the candidates, his campaign pursued a different strategy.
Moderator Dana Perino introduced an intriguing question during the debate, asking candidates who they believed should be voted off the hypothetical island to reduce the crowded field. Remarkably, the candidates refrained from
responding.
During the debate, Ron DeSantis highlighted the significance of the upcoming 2024 election and outlined his strategy to challenge Trump's dominance. However, making a case for electability against the former president has become increasingly challenging. Recent polls have indicated Trump's competitiveness against President Biden in a hypothetical rematch. Notably, a significant portion
of Republicans believes that Trump is better positioned to defeat Biden.
One of the most heated exchanges occurred when Nikki Haley criticized Tim Scott for his Washington ties. In response, Scott launched a series of counterarguments, though displaying a degree of discomfort. The exchange featured accusations and rebuttals, making it challenging for viewers to grasp the extent of the arguments presented
fully.
Nikki Haley also raised concerns about Ron DeSantis allegedly running an account on TikTok while pledging to sever economic ties with China. She expressed her frustration: "Honestly, every time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber for what you say."
While calls to downsize the federal government are not new within the GOP, some candidates, such as Vivek Ramaswamy, have proposed ambitious plans to reduce or abolish federal agencies like the FBI.
The debate also ventured into parental rights and genderaffirming care, prompting Vivek Ramaswamy to employ strong language, referring to it as "genital mutilation" and "chemical castration."
While the GOP debate provided a platform for candidates to articulate their visions for the future, the enduring influence of former President Donald Trump remains a dominant force within the Republican Party.
Republicans recently held their first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden over allegations that he benefitted from his family's foreign business dealings. However, it is essential to note that this does not mean the president has been formally charged or that he will be removed from office.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California, has described the formal impeachment inquiry as a "logical next step" for House Republicans, even though they were already investigating the president and his family's finances.
The investigation conducted by House Republicans is expected to conclude in the next few months to over a year. Following its completion, the House Judiciary Committee will have the option to draft formal articles of impeachment against the president. These articles would serve as the basis for an impeachment trial, potentially leading to President Biden's removal.
During the inquiry hearing held by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, Congresswoman Nancy Mace suggested that President Biden
committed treason by accepting bribes from Mykola Zlovchesky, the owner of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings.
Expert witnesses who testified during the hearing include Bruce Dubinsky, Founder of Dubinsky Consulting and a forensic accountant; Eileen O'Connor, Former Assistant Attorney General at the Department of Justice Tax Division; and Jonathan Turley, Shapiro Chair for Public Interest Law at George Washington University Law School.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, raised questions about Hunter Biden, focusing on allegations of his involvement with women and tax-related issues. She referenced a July release by Senator Chuck Grassley, which revealed an FBI document suggesting that Joe Biden was involved in a $10 million bribery scheme with Mykola Zlochevsky, the CEO of Burisma Holdings.
During the hearing, Greene also drew attention to a lack of response from the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding a letter she and Chairman Comer sent, in which they sought information on victims of Hunter Biden, specifically
related to allegations of sexual exploitation and improper tax deductions.
In her presentation, Greene alleged that David Weiss, the current special counsel in charge of investigating Hunter Biden, had covered up Hunter Biden's actions since before the 2020 election, which she deemed as interference. Greene called for Weiss's removal from his position as special counsel.
Additionally, Greene shared an
email exchange between Hunter Biden and Serbian politician Vuc Jeremic, in which they discussed a meeting with "the big man," which she claimed was evidence of influence peddling.
Representative Byron Donalds, a Republican from Florida, expressed his concerns about Hunter Biden's business dealings and sought insights from Bruce Dubinsky, the forensic accountant, regarding evidence presented during the
proceedings.
The House Republicans' inquiry aims to gather evidence of potential wrongdoing by President Biden; however, it is crucial to emphasize that no formal charges have been brought against him. The process will continue, and possible next steps may include releasing a report summarizing the findings, legal actions or referrals, congressional hearings, or policy recommendations.
In a time when the influx of illegal migrants into New York and across the United States has become a pressing concern, Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has taken the lead on an initiative that some see as sending mixed messages. The controversial move seeks to eliminate work authorization application fees, primarily to reduce the barriers and lengthy waiting times that migrants face when applying for legal work permits. The I-765 employment authorization application currently carries a price tag of $410.
At the heart of this initiative is the argument that parolees who fled their home countries under urgent humanitarian circumstances, including escaping oppression, violence, poverty, or persecution, face significant barriers to obtaining work authorization. The lawmakers contend that these individuals can only legally or
securely seek employment with a valid work authorization and that the current filing fee of $410 is simply unattainable for many. Consequently, these parolees are left in a state of limbo, placing additional strain on the City's resources.
To address these concerns, Senator Gillibrand, alongside her Democratic congressional colleagues, composed a letter to Director Jaddou of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, requesting the waiver of the filing fee for the Application for Employment Authorization (I-765) exclusively for parolees. They aim to expedite the work authorization process, enabling these individuals to legally and safely work in the United States.
However, the timing of this initiative has raised eyebrows and highlighted the mixed messages being sent. It comes amid a significant influx of migrants since the spring of 2022, with approximately 110,000 migrants
arriving in New York City alone. Currently, about 60,000 of these migrants remain under the City's care. While some of these migrants are expected to apply for asylum, those holding parolee status are already eligible to seek a work permit, categorized as (c)(11), which grants legal work authorization for the duration of their parole.
The crux of the issue lies in the unintended consequences this initiative may generate. Critics argue that waiving the $410 filing fee for all I-765 applications submitted by parolees may inadvertently encourage more migrants to pursue this avenue, thereby worsening the ongoing immigration challenges.
In the broader context of recent
efforts by Democratic Governor Hochul and Democratic NYC Mayor Adams to discourage further migration to New York, Senator Gillibrand's initiative seems to present a conflicting stance. Mayor Adams's recent claim, "This crisis will destroy New York," and Hochul's recent statement, "If you're going to leave your country, go somewhere else." These mixed messages in Democratic policy raise questions about how the party intends to address the growing concerns about the influx of migrants, which is increasingly viewed as a serious problem by most New Yorkers.
Furthermore, as the 2024 general elections loom, there's a growing awareness that voters may not forget how Democrats handle this crisis. The mixed signals and potentially counterproductive consequences of Senator Gillibrand's fee waiver initiative may influence voter sentiment and decisions in the upcoming elections.
Amid ongoing legal turmoil, former President Donald Trump has issued a robust response to a recent court ruling implicating him and his company in fraudulent activities linked to the inflation of his net worth. This development has ignited a contentious debate over the ethical boundaries of standard business practices, with Trump's case taking center stage.
The allegations at the core of this case stem from a civil lawsuit filed by New York prosecutor Attorney General Letitia James in September 2022. Trump, his adult sons, and nearly a dozen business entities are accused of orchestrating a deliberate scheme. Their alleged goal was to mislead banks and insurance companies by providing inflated property valuations, ultimately securing larger loans and lower insurance rates. The total alleged inflation amounts to a staggering $2.2 billion.
This case has raised intriguing questions about the often blurred lines of business practices. Some argue that the tactics employed by Trump and his associates, while ethically questionable, are not uncommon within the business world. Exaggerating asset values or downplaying liabilities can be standard strategies to secure favorable deals, particularly in
the highly competitive real estate industry.
The recent ruling by Justice Arthur Engoron of the New York State Court in Manhattan has further intensified this debate. Engoron ordered the cancellation of certificates necessary for some of Trump's businesses to operate in New York. Additionally, he stated his intention to appoint independent receivers to oversee the dissolution of these certificates. Notably, the ruling did not specify a timeline for these cancellations, instead urging the involved parties to recommend potential receivers within the next 30 days.
Trump chose to respond via Truth Social, and in his response, he denounced the judge as a "highly politicized Democrat" and accused radical left Democrats of engineering the legal battle to thwart his potential 2024 presidential aspirations. Trump's fiery reply emphasized his belief that this case is politically motivated—a perspective that profoundly resonates with his ardent followers.
At the core of Trump's defense is his assertion that his actual net worth significantly exceeds the figures presented in his financial statements. He stressed a notable omission in those statements— excluding his brand, which he
considers an invaluable asset. From Trump's standpoint, there are no victims in this case, and he vehemently rejected the charges as lacking merit. He expressed unwavering determination to vigorously appeal the judge's decision, emphasizing the critical need for intervention from the highest courts, whether within the bounds of New York State or the federal system.
This legal battle carries substantial financial implications for Trump. New York prosecutors relentlessly pursue $250 million in civil penalties related to the case. Moreover, they aim to bar Trump and his
sons from engaging in business activities within the state, which could cast a shadow over Trump's expansive business empire.
Presently, Trump faces a staggering total of 91 criminal counts across four separate cases. These trials are scheduled to commence in early 2024, adding to the mounting legal pressures that Trump and his family face.
Critics, particularly from the Republican camp, have drawn attention to the stark contrast in the speed and intensity of investigations and charges against Trump compared to recent investigations involving
individuals bearing the Biden surname. They assert that these cases against Trump appear to be progressing at an accelerated pace, raising legitimate questions about the fairness and impartiality of the legal process. As the legal battle unfolds, whether Trump's defense can successfully navigate the fine line between standard business practices and illegal conduct remains to be seen. The outcome of this case will not only have far-reaching implications for Trump. However, it also prompts a broader conversation about the ethical standards and gray areas within the business world.
As the United States grapples with economic challenges, including high inflation, concerns over allocating U.S. aid to Ukraine have been mounting. These concerns have garnered attention from both sides of the political spectrum, with particular scrutiny from conservatives, prompting a closer examination of how foreign aid is distributed while domestic economic struggles persist.
A recent 60 Minutes special report also shed light on various aspects of U.S. assistance to Ukraine, extending beyond military support that surprised many Americans. This comprehensive aid package includes provisions such as seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers and funding for the salaries of approximately 57,000 first responders. The revelation of these details comes when Americans increasingly question the allocation of significant resources abroad while economic concerns loom large on the home front.
The disclosure that U.S. aid is being utilized to compensate
Ukrainian workers, particularly first responders, is of significant concern. Samantha Power, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) administrator, revealed in July that roughly $1.2 billion would be allocated for this purpose. This revelation has prompted many Americans grappling with economic hardships and high inflation to seek clarity regarding the appropriateness of foreign aid expenditures, especially when pressing domestic needs remain unmet.
Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, among others, have stressed the need to address the real-world impact of high inflation on American citizens. They express concerns about diverting resources abroad, mainly when this allocation includes financial support for Ukraine's agricultural sector, procurement of seeds and fertilizer, and compensation for 57,000 first responders.
These concerns, raised bipartisanly but predominantly
from the GOP, reflect a broader sentiment within the American public. Citizens grapple with the tangible impact of inflation on their daily lives and livelihoods and argue for addressing domestic economic challenges as a priority before committing substantial resources abroad.
Despite President Biden's commitment not to heighten taxes on those making under $400,000, his spending and inflation situation predominantly affect low and
middle-income families and elderly individuals dependent on Social Security.
E.J. Antoni, a Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, recently deliberated on President Biden's "inflation tax." He pointed out the shift of wealth from citizens to the government due to inflation, categorically defining it as a tax.
Furthermore, the concerns over U.S. aid to Ukraine have become a
central point of contention in the ongoing government spending battle. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida recently amended a proposed defense funding bill prohibiting all military assistance to Ukraine. This amendment received 93 Republican votes, up from 70 Republican votes in favor of a similar measure by Gaetz in July. Another amendment, introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, sought to slash $300 million in arms assistance for Ukraine, which has been a consistent allocation since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. While both amendments failed in lopsided votes, the GOP opponents managed to compel leadership to remove Ukraine funding and attempt to pass it as a separate bill.
The concerns over U.S. aid to Ukraine highlight the need for a closer examination of foreign aid allocation and its implications for domestic priorities. As the debate continues, policymakers face the delicate task of balancing international interests with the pressing needs of the American people.

Before the year 2023 comes to an end, let me devote this space to the 50th anniversary of the start of what became an agricultural revolution in Suffolk County: the creation here of a world-class region for the production of wine.
As the Long Island Wine Country (formerly Long Island Wine Council) declares under “Our Story” on its website: “Alex and Louisa Hargrave planted the first Long Island vineyard in 1973, in Cutchogue. Soon after, pioneering investors, grape-growers, and winemakers followed suit.” Now, the “Long Island wine region is one of the most exciting rising stars of the winemaking world.”
Under “Who We Are,” it notes: “Long Island boasts 57 distinct wine producers, who are divided between the North Fork, South Fork, and western Suffolk County.”
In western and central Suffolk, vineyards now include Del Vino Vineyards in Northport, Whisper Vineyards in St. James, Harmony Vineyards in Head of the Harbor and Loughlin Vineyard in Sayville. On the South Fork, the wineries include Wolffer Estate in Sapaponack, Channing
Daughters in Bridgehampton and Duck Walk Vineyards in Water Mill. On the North Fork, there are vineyard after vineyard along Sound Avenue and, too, on Route 25. Also, Shelter Island has gotten its first vineyard. As noted in an article last month in The Shelter Island Reporter, Joel Assouline has “taken inspiration from France’s Loire Valley, which has a similar latitude and topography to this region.”
A half-century ago, a climatic link between Suffolk County and the great wine-producing regions of Europe was hardly known.
“I was 25 and Alex was 27,” writes Louisa Hargrave in her book, The Vineyard. “With no farm experience and little life experience, we really didn’t think the vines would need much attention. Before we bought the farm in Cutchogue, neither one of us had grown as much as a vegetable garden…The idea of the vineyard at that point was still a fantasy whose only tangible basis in reality lay in the 10,000 rooted, grafted vines we had bought.”
But the couple shared a love for fine wine.
And, as she relates, John
Moral Injury is different than PTSD. With PTSD, the primary concern is physical safety. With moral injury, it is relational safety and trust.
Post-traumatic stress disorder and moral injury have important differences: PTSD is the result of a life-threatening experience that leads to chronic hypervigilance and fear; it is difficult to ever feel safe. Moral injury involves loss of trust; it is not a disorder but a reasonable response to having one’s ethical compass thrown off track.
There are many different ways that can lead to moral injury. For example a soldier in the line of duty may accept the necessity of shooting an enemy combatant. But when, in attempting to identify the assailant, he finds a picture of the dead man’s children, a sense of the value of service may itself be shattered. Shooting a civilian, especially a woman or child can lead to moral injury. An officer
Tomkins, a pomologist for Cornell Cooperative Extension in Ithaca, told them: “There’s this guy on Long Island who has been growing table grapes.”
That was John Wickham, who worked some of the oldest continually cultivated land in what is now the United States— on a 287-acre farm in Cutchogue that goes back to 1661. Wickham told the couple of he had been “called crazy” for moving away from potatoes to grow peaches and cherries and other fruit on Long Island.
“He took us to bodies of water and explained how they moderated the climate,” she explains. Thus they figured they could grow cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir and merlot and chardonnay here, the grapes from which the great wines of Bordeaux and Burgandy were made. And the Hargraves were correct.
John Wickham, who died in 1994 at 85, was long a farmer and also long vice chairman of the Suffolk County Planning Commission chairman of the Southold Town Planning Board, too. He had a deep commitment to preserving Suffolk County as
a leading agricultural area in New York State. Running the farm now, with the same commitment, are Thomas Wickham, a former Southold Town supervisor and councilman, and his family.
An article that ran 20 years ago in Long Island Business News, on the 30th anniversary of this area becoming a wine-growing region, asserted: “There is a general feeling that the wine industry has ‘saved’ the North Fork’s open spaces and rural nature.”
Importantly, most of the land where now there are vineyards had been used to grow potatoes. and with the once mighty Long Island potato facing stiff competition, the wine industry utilizing expensive Long Island land has made more financial sense.
Moreover, the creation of the Suffolk County Farmland Preservation Program, begun in 1974, and the Community Preservation Fund in the five East End towns, and other town, county, state and private initiatives to save farms has been instrumental in the proliferation of vineyards here.
The wine industry, further, has
also been a great boon to Long Island tourism.
The headline of a 1999 article in Business Week was “A Wine Region That’s Aging Beautifully.” It noted how the vision of the Hargraves “has come to pass” and winemakers that succeeded the Hargraves—they sold their winery that year—“seems to have a story. Mostly, they’re about dreams that have come true.”
The Express Magazine, published by the Express New Group, related this summer, in an extensive six-page article by Michelle Trauring titled “50 Years of Long Island Wine,” that “the moment” the Hargraves “planted their first grapes, they founded an entire wine region.”
The piece (it’s online) quoted Roman Roth, winemaker and partner at Wolffer Estate, saying: “Long Island is unique. The elegant wines that Long Island makes, the fresh wine, the wines with less alcohol, the dry roses, these are all things that have an impact on winemaking in America and certainly can compete with the best wines in the world. That’s a huge statement, a huge thing to celebrate.”
giving a bad order in combat can give the officer moral injury and also those to whom he gave the order. These are just a very few of the causes of moral injury.
Moral Injury leads to guilt and shame that continues to increase if untreated.
Moral injury is not currently included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Scientific consensus has yet to reach its parameters.
The fact that moral injury is not listed in the DSM or considered PTSD is great news for those suffering from it. You can seek help and never be given a label after treatment. The Vietnam War and the Afghanistan War were totally different than any other war we were in. The enemy did not wear a uniform.
Unlike PTSD, moral injury treatment is defined by the individual according to their
beliefs and needs. Outlets for acknowledging and confronting moral injury include talk therapy, religious dialogue, art, writing, discussion & talking circles, spiritual gathering, and more.
Therapists, counselors, social
workers, and clergy are often the front lines of addressing moral injury; however, the larger community can also take part.
Veterans suffering moral injury may seek help from another veteran. I also suggest that they first seek a member of the clergy
first.
Consider that moral injury affects, and is affected by the moral codes across a community. In the case of veterans, moral injury stems in part from feelings of isolation from civilian society. Moral injury, then is a burden carried by very few, until the “outsider’ becomes aware of, and interested in sharing it. Listening and witnessing or moral injury outside the confines of a clinical setting can be a way to break the silence that so often surrounds moral injury.
Isolation, drugs or alcohol are never the answer to healing. Most important suicide is not the answer and hurts family and friends...
Again, moral injury is not a label for a person and does not label a person as does PTSD. It can treated by a member of the clergy who is under the seal and will never share anything with others.
Usually, as soon as I write a column on de-commissioning the boat for the winter season, Indian Summer arrives to bathe us in the last warmth of the year. As of this writing, it hasn’t happened so I’m writing it for information – and in the hope Indian Summer will get here! This weather is windy, wet and cold – but a reminder that many months of kindly weather are behind us and many months of dark, cold and dreary weather are ahead of us. So, here we go – Indian Summer or not! Even if you hand off your boat to your dock master and say, “see you in the Spring”, there are some tips in here that you will want to be aware of. This column is about that.
to storing your winterized boat in the water is that you don’t have to pay to haul the boat and return it to the water in the Spring. I still believe that that can be penny-wise and poundfoolish if this watery winter berth isn’t a very controlled environment… Recall that 80% of boats that do sink do so at the dock. So, let’s focus this column on spending the winter “on the hard”…
4. Fill the boat’s fuel tanks completely full
5. Add biocide and/or stabilizing agents to fuel
6. Change the fuel filters
7. Add antifreeze to the engine’s cooling system
8. Add distilled water to batteries, charge completely and disconnect
9. Charge batteries to capacity
“On
Clearly, there are some basic steps to de-commissioning and one of them is to get the boat safely “onto the hard”, as the old-timers call drydock. Storing your winterized boat in the water can only be done in a very controlled environment with, generally, professional and nearconstant attention. Even with signs of global-heating all around us, (I think “global warming” sounds too benign), the creeks and coves of “Out East” freeze up for much of the winter. Even Moriches Bay itself has frozen across over the years and I am talking about recent years. The only upside
If you are going to hand the boat over to the dock master and say, “see you in the Spring”, do so with a written check list, especially if you intend to do some of the work yourself. As you’ll see, the advice below is not 100% extensive. I’d need most of the newspaper to give you a check list that could be used by every boat. (BTW, if you want a copy of the Boat-US/Seaworthy article on winterization, email me below and I will email a copy to you.) So, work with your dock master in signing off on what will be done by the yard and, if you desire to be involved, by you.
Some ideas/categories:
1. Change the oil and oil filters
2. Change the lubricant in engine transmission or the outboard lower unit
3. Apply fogging if called for by manufacturer
Before thinking about covering the boat with shrink-wrap or canvas, inspect the hull. Any blisters in the gelcoat? If so, that has to be addressed sooner rather than later as that will lead to water infiltrating the hull, making the boat less seaworthy. Stress cracks, which often develop at the bow, need professional attention. Just putting a patch over it and sanding, a la the gelcoat blister, won’t fix that one. It’s structural. As to washing and waxing the hull, I opt for cleaning now and waxing in the Spring.
Does the boat have a cabin of any kind? Get the “moisture-soakeruppers”, i.e., desiccants, in there. Inexpensive and they inhibit the build-up of moisture that leads to mold. And don’t forget the hatches, closets and lazarettes.
Other than covering the boat, the “mechanical system” is the most obvious place to start. Your
mechanical system may only be your gasoline-powered 90-HP Johnson outboard. If so, you are going to flush the engine with fresh water (attached a garden hose to the intake and let it flush – engine OFF!), “fog” the engine with lubricating oil (be sure the fuel system is disconnected from the engine when you start the process), clean/replace the spark plugs and fuel filter, lube the carburetor and anything else that moves – choke, cam, starter linkage etc. Don’t forget the lower unit (what the prop comes out of). Replace the lube oil. BTW, if you open the drain plug and water comes out first (oil floats), you need to replace the seal. Inspect the prop(s). Any dings? Get a professional to look at that. A bad “wheel” can shake your
engine apart…
So that’s your outboard. Did I ask if you had a diesel engine or an I/O? Does the boat have a transmission? In-board water system (sink/shower)? Air-conditioner? Electronics going to stay aboard or come home with the owner? So, as you can see, the list is far more extensive than the short list above.
But have fun! She’s your boat! BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the US Coast Guard Auxiliary “Flotilla Finder” at http:// www.cgaux.org/units.php and we will help you “get in this thing . . .”
As another week passes by, William Floyd’s All-American Superstar distance runner Zariel Macchia has posted another massive victory as she pulled away from the pack at the very end of the race to claim victory.
The Junior distance runner made the trip out to the Cross Country capital of America in Terre Haute, Indiana to compete in a 5000 meter race under the lights in a night time race at the historic Laverne Gibson Cross Country Course.
The William Floyd representee did not disappoint the Long Island running community back home as she got out to a solid start and put herself in prime position for victory with less than a mile to go.
“The race got out really quick,” said Macchia during a post meet interview with the popular high school running website Milesplit. “I have never raced any girls from around here and it’s great to race new people.”
Macchia has absolutely
dominated the New York scene when it comes to distance running as she has been the girl to beat since she made her varsity debut. From state championships, All-American Honors, and the opportunity to represent the United States of America in competition, she has done it all and adding a victory like this shows that she can compete with anyone in the country.
“The girls out here obviously love cross country,” said Macchia. “I feel like there were a lot of girls who were fighting for the win and that was a lot of fun.”
Despite the strong field of girls fighting for the win, the William Floyd High Superstar was determined to win and she had a feeling she was going to put the competition to bed with a mile left in the 5000 meter cross country race.
“(I think) I knew I was going to win with about a Mile to go.” Macchia told the reporters from Milesplit, “I put in a surge once we (the pack of runners) came over the hill and I was pretty
confident I could break away from the rest of the pack but they still hung on and pushed me to
the end of the race. I wasn’t too sure until the end but I hung on to win anyways.”
Despite a close push from Muncie, Indiana native Nicki Southerland, Macchia powered her way home to claim a six second victory as she crossed the finish line with a blazing time of 17:00.9 over the 5000 meter distance (approximately 5:24 per mile for a distance of 3.1 miles).
“It was very cool to run here (the course in Indiana) under the lights,” said Macchia. “I love running under the lights or at night, the atmosphere here was awesome.”
Macchia had some time to soak in the late September victory at a historic course, but she is now focusing on what's ahead of her as she prepares for yet another historic season that could best her performance from 2022-23.
“The next meet I will be looking forward to is the Manhattan Invitational,” said Macchia. “I will also be looking forward to the Foot Locker Nationals Qualifier again and hopefully place well at Nationals once again before I attempt to make the World Cross (Country) Team once again.”
For the first time in a few seasons, the Center Moriches Red Devils can say they are victorious at homecoming following a 43–14 rout over Islip.
The homecoming game is one of the most – if not the – most important game on any high school football team’s calendar as it is full of events like homecoming court, parade floats, and – of course –football.
This kind of game normally grabs everyone in town’s attention for one night and the stands will be packed with a large portion of the community watching the best their area has to offer.
The night didn’t get off to a great
start as the Red Devils fell behind early on an Islip touchdown.
The offense finally came through in the second quarter as quarterback Connor Planz found Xavier Bryant open in the end zone for a touchdown to make it a 7-6 affair.
After falling behind 14-7 after Islip would return a kickoff for a touchdown late in the second quarter, senior running back Matthew Albino began to make his presence felt.
The senior ripped off a long run that set up shop inside Islip’s 5 yard line and he would punch in his first touchdown of the game to tie the game at halftime.
After receiving the second half kickoff, Albino was back at it once again. The running back ripped
off another huge run before being tackled just before reaching the end zone and setting up another Red Devils “Goal-to-Go” opportunity.
Just like the game tying drive, Albino would punch in the goahead touchdown on a short yardage play and a successful two point conversion run to give the Red Devils a 22-14 lead.
On the ensuing possession by Islip, the Red Devils defense decided to get in on the action. Matt Albino would come sprinting in from his safety spot and make a play on the Islip quarterback resulting in an 11 yard sack to push the Buccaneers back when they were starting to drive upfield.
A few plays later, the unit would force a turnover and Barry Stanek would take the fumble all the way back for a touchdown to make it 2914 Red Devils.
The next drive would see yet another big play that put the Red Devils in scoring position and it would lead to another Matt Albino touchdown to make it 36-14 Center Moriches.
On the kickoff following the touchdown, the special team’s unit would force a fumble and Xavier Bryant would recover it and return the ball deep into the redzone.
Center Moriches quarterback Connor Planz then led a methodical drive that would eat a ton of clock and result in yet another Matthew
Albino rushing touchdown to up the score to 43-14 in the waning moments of the game.
“(The Atmosphere) was electric today,” said Albino following the victory. “We were tied at half; we ended up pulling away and kept control of the game in the second half.”
Albino had another career day as he is having a senior season to remember as he has now had two games with three or more touchdowns in the newly minted 2023 season.
“They (the offensive lineman) have been giving me some nice holes to run through most of the time,” said Albino. “Shout out to
them; they have been great all year.”
The Center Moriches Varsity football team now improves to an impressive 3-0 on the year and their next game was on the 30th of September as they took on Southampton on the road to close out the month. They will also play in a high profile matchup on October 14th as they take on Port Jefferson during the Royals Homecoming game that will potentially set up to be a “de-facto” league championship deciding game.
“Last year it was unfortunate that we didn’t make it to the postseason,” said Albino. “This year we are trying to make a run and I think it should end up well for us. (I’m) looking forward to it.”
The position of manager for the Long Island Ducks is now open following the conclusion of the 2023 season for the Atlantic league’s most successful franchise.
The incumbent Wally Backman and the Long Island Ducks have mutually agreed to part ways following the season according to the team’s Instagram page. This came almost immediately after the Flock won their division in the first half of the season and clinched a playoff berth. They would go on to lose in the first round.
Backman took over for the Ducks in 2019 and he has lead them to four playoff berths, two Atlantic League Championship Series berths (2019, 2021), and one Atlantic League Championship victory in his first year as manager in 2019.
This comes as a bit of a surprise to everyone as not many fans expected Backman to leave just yet but apparently after this most recent postseason loss, both parties look like they want to go their separate ways and pursue other options.
“We want to thank Wally for all his contributions over the past five years,” said Ducks Owner/ CEO Frank Boulton. “We wish him the best moving forward.”
This may impact the rest of the staff as well as many of these guys have been mainstays throughout the 2010s and into the 2020s.
The 64-year-old Backman may be officially done with managing but it has been one heck of a career in baseball that began in
1980 with the New York Mets as a player. From 1980-1988 he was a fan favorite on the Mets teams that featured greats like Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, and Keith Hernandez. He most notably played a combined 269 games during the 1985-86 seasons where he hit .293 and held down second base for the 1986 World Series Champion Mets when they beat the Boston Red Sox in a dramatic seven game series.
Since his retirement in 1993, Backman has managed multiple minor league teams like the Birmingham Barons (2002), Lancaster JetHawks (2004), Joliet JackHammers (2007-2009), Brooklyn Cyclones (2010), Binghamton Mets (2011), Buffalo Bison (2012), Las Vegas 51s (2013-2016), and the New Britain Bees (2017-2018) before taking the job as head coach.
Backman also made headlines as he nearly won the Mets manager job after the firing of Charlie Manuel in 2011 while managing in the Mets minor league system before ultimately losing the bid to Terry Collins.
Backman also was a part
As the leaves fall to the ground and the sky turns grey and dreary, most Yankees fans think that represents this 2023 team. But, amidst all the issues, bad signing, poor play and front office nonsense there was one very bright spot this season. Gerrit Cole was worth every penny, and those are a lot of pennies.
Gerrit Cole has just finished the greatest season in Yankee pitching history. Cole ended the season with 15 wins to just 4 losses. A 2.63 ERA, to go along with 222 strikeouts, and an unthinkable 0.98 WHIP. Cole went on to do something that in this day in age is also unthinkable
of some controversy back in 2004 when he was hired by the Arizona Diamondbacks to be the head coach of the team and information was released that he misled the organization about his past. The New York Times reported that he was in serious
legal and financial trouble that included filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and a DUI charge back in 1999.
The Ducks will now move on from the aforementioned Backman and at this time there
are no leads on who will become the next manager. Hitting Coach/Outfielder Lew Ford could be a dark horse candidate to become the next Ducks Manager, but it is not a certainty he will be picked or even on the staff beyond this season.
It has been that kind of season for the Seawolves as Chuck Piore’s squad drops to 0-5 on the season as Stony Brook got a beatdown by in conference rival Maine – who was also winless entering the game –on Saturday by a score of 56-28.
Despite putting up 28 points, the Seawolves Defense was gashed by the University of Maine early and often as the Black Bears would put Stony Brook in a quick four touchdown hole.
Tristan Keenan opened the scoring up for Maine with a one yard rush to make it 7-0. The Black Bears would see another rushing touchdown by Trevon Ewing, this time of thirty yards, and Quarterback Devin Robertson complete two touchdown passes over 40 yards – one caught by Montigo Moss and another by Joe Gillete – to put Stony Brook down early.
Stony Brook got on the board in the second quarter thanks to a Jayden Cook 47 yard touchdown reception from Casey Case to cap off a 91 yard drive, making it a 28-7 game.
Maine would answer immediately as Maine capped off a 98 yard drive with a 34 yard touchdown catch by Joe Gillete to
make it a 35-7 game.
The Seawolves were keeping pace as Casey Case once again came through for Stony Brook as he found tight end Cal Redmon for a 51 yard touchdown to make it 35-14 with 2:56 to go in the second quarter.
Unfortunately, the Seawolves momentum they thought they would have was short lived as Maine saw Montigo Moss score his second touchdown of the game right before the end of the half to give Maine 42 total points in the first half, making the Stony Brook defense look like a middle school unit playing a Division One group.
Maine kept their foot on the gas pedal and turned this game into a laugher as Tristen Keenan once again found paydirt for a two yard rushing touchdown to make the score 49-14 Maine.
For Maine in this contest, Derek Robertson threw for five touchdowns and 394 yards. He was far and away in control throughout this contest. He would be lifted from the game in the third quarter due to the game being out of reach and not risking injury during a blowout.
The Seawolves would score two more times as Casey Case would find Jayden Cook for a 36
and that is pitch a complete game, in his last start of the season. The more you dig into the numbers the better it gets. He has also been an unstoppable stopper since the All Star break where he had 5 starts pitching 7 innings or more while allowing 3 or less hits and no walks. No other pitcher in the live ball age had done that over an entire season, Cole needed just a half.
Cole should have won the Cy Young a few times now and it has always seemed the antiYankee bias to giving awards has reared its ugly head. We saw that with Judge against Altuve, Jeter against Morneu and many times in recent major league
baseball history. This season feels different though. It seems Cole left the voters no choice.
For all of the bad contracts on this team and wasteful spending it feels good for Yankee fans to be able to celebrate the very best. Before the season there was the debate about who was the best pitcher in New York. There are no debates anymore. Gerrit Cole is the best pitcher in New York, once he receives his Cy Young award he will cement himself as the best pitcher in the American League and when you compare numbers it's easy to see that he is, in fact, the best pitcher in baseball.
yard touchdown pass and senior captain RJ Lamarre also got in on the action with a 6 yard reception to finish the game with a 56-28 loss.
Despite losing, Casey Case becomes the first Seawolf Quarterback to throw for four touchdowns in a game since 2012 against Charleston Southern. The 479 yards of total offense is also the most since 2019 when they played the University of Rhode Island.
The offensive breakthrough is nice to see for an abysmal unit, but that was all negated by a horrific defensive unit that allowed 512 yards to Maine and was unable to keep Maine out of the endzone all day.
Another loss like this is a prime example of why Athletic Director Shawn Heilbron made a poor choice of extending head coach Chuck Piore’s contract prior to this season.
Heilbron announced the extension at the end of last season. He then said to the perplexed and confused fanbase and donors that a season like last year “won’t happen again,” and here the Seawolves are once more as they are almost certainly not going to make the postseason and the current core looks like they won't win a single game this season.
What your Executor can expect will depend on your existing estate plan and how your various assets are titled.
Assets that are titled in your sole name that do not have a designated beneficiary will pass according to the terms of your Last Will and Testament. These assets are considered part of your “probate estate” which means that your Executor will first have to go through the probate legal procedure before the assets can be distributed to the named beneficiaries. The nominated Executor must file a probate petition with the Surrogate’s Court to be officially appointed by the Court and to be able to distribute the property left by the decedent. First, the Executor will file the original Will and a certified copy of the death certificate along with the probate petition in Surrogate’s Court. Then, notice needs to be
given to the decedent’s next-of-kin who will either sign waivers and consents or be issued a citation to appear in court with the opportunity to object to the Will.
If everyone consents to the Will admitted, with no objections, then jurisdiction is said to be complete, and the Surrogate’s Court will issue a decree granting probate and Letters Testamentary will be issued to the Executor. At this point, the Executor has the authority to marshal the decedent’s assets, pay any debts of the decedent, and distribute the property in the estate according to the terms of the Will. Interested parties are called “distributees.”
Distributees are individuals that would have inherited the decedent’s assets if the decedent had died without a Will and with no named beneficiaries.
If everyone does not consent to the Will being admitted to probate, the length and costs of probate likely multiply
exponentially. Any distributee has the right to examine the Will and other documents and then take depositions of the drafting attorney and all witnesses to the Will execution. The cost of these depositions is expensive and are paid for by the estate. After the examination, the distributee has 10 days to file objections to the Will. If objections are filed in court, the litigation could be protracted and costly.
It is usually advisable for the Executor to hire an attorney to help them through the probate process as it can be highly technical and complicated, from the various documentation that needs to be provided to the challenging legal procedures involved. Moreover, transferring ownership of more complicated assets such as businesses or commercial real estate is far from straight-forward, not to mention the proceedings that follow if the Will is contested.
Assets that are jointly owned
or have designated beneficiaries will automatically pass to the designated beneficiaries upon your death, avoiding probate. Examples include jointly owned bank accounts, retirement and investment accounts, and life insurance (again, to the extent you have named beneficiaries on these accounts). Real estate that is jointly owned with a right of survivorship will similarly pass automatically to the living joint owners without having to go through probate.
However, avoiding probate is more complicated than just naming beneficiaries on accounts. A living trust is often a preferable way to avoid probate. Assets titled in a living trust will simply pass according to the terms of the trust, free from probate. The trust document will name a trustee during your life and a successor trustee for after your death who will take over management of the trust property upon your
death and no court proceedings will be necessary. Furthermore, by utilizing a trust, you can provide for minor and disabled beneficiaries by having their assets transfer in further trust. Likewise, you can protect all your beneficiaries from divorcing spouses, estate tax, long term care costs and judgment creditors.
An experienced elder care/ estate planning attorney can help you form an estate plan that effectively avoids probate, saving your Executor (and beneficiaries) a lot of time, money, and stress down the road.
