TOWN Monitoring the Remnants of Hurricane Ian

PSEG Long Island is committed to working safely to restore potential power outages and provide excellent service

PSEG Long Island is monitoring the remnants of Hurricane Ian that may impact the service area Saturday through Monday and is following its pre-storm processes to handle any outages that may occur.

The weather front is expected to bring showers during the weekend, followed by wind gusts up to 45 mph, enough to possibly topple trees and bring down branches on wires.

“PSEG Long Island has been carefully tracking the remnants of Ian, and we encourage our customers to prepare,” said Mike Sullivan, vice president of Transmission and Distribution at PSEG Long Island. “As we watch the forecast, we have performed system and logistic checks, and have a full complement of personnel who can jump into storm mode if needed. In the event of any outages, our crews will work to safely restore service as quickly as conditions will allow.”

COVID-19-related storm processes remain in place to ensure the health and safety of employees

and the public. To that end, we ask that customers remain in their homes when crews are working nearby. If customers must speak with our crews, we ask them to practice responsible “physical distancing” and remain at least 6 feet away. For more information about how PSEG Long Island continues to live up to its commitment to safety during the pandemic, please visit www.psegliny.com/covid19.

Customers are asked to note the important storm safety tips below and to visit https://www. psegliny.com/safetyandreliability/ stormsafety for additional storm preparation information.

Customer Safety:

Downed wires should always be considered “live.” Please stay away from them, and do not drive over or stand near them. It is best to maintain a distance of at least 30 feet from a downed power line. To report a downed wire, call PSEG Long Island’s 24-hour Electric Service number at 800-490-0075 or call 911.

Electric current passes easily through water. If you encounter a pool of standing water, stop, back up and choose another path.

Never use a generator, pressure washer, or any gasoline-powered engine inside your home, basement, or garage or less than 20 feet from any window, door, or vent. Use an extension cord that is more than 20 feet long to keep the generator at a safe distance.

Johnson Challenges Palumbo for 1st Senate District Seat

By Barbara LaMonica

When residents in the First Senate District go to the polls on November 8th, they will be asked to choose between Republican incumbent Anthony Palumbo, or Democratic challenger, Skyler Johnson, to represent them as their voice in Albany. Palumbo will appear on the Republican and Conservative lines of the ballot. He is a homeowner and has a private law practice. Palumbo is married with two children. Johnson, age 22, will appear on the Democratic and Working Family party lines.

Palumbo, a former prosecutor, began his career as an elected official after winning election to the New York State Assembly during a special election in November 2013. He was then re-elected to the Assembly during consecutive two-year terms, where he served through December 2020. Palumbo sought and won election to the 1st Senate seat after Senator Kenneth LaValle announced he would be retiring. Johnson said he never ran for elected office, but was defeated in a primary, and in a separate race, withdrew his name after district boundary lines were redrawn.

The candidates offered their reasons for pursuing election to the 1st Senate seat. "I've accomplished good local bills in my first cycle as Senator," Palumbo said. "We passed 19 bills last year, and 18 bills so far this year, and while we've made good progress, there's so much more to do at the state level," Palumbo

added.

Johnson offered: "There's a lot at stake in New York State; we have to protect reproductive rights, climate change, and jobs, and make Long Island more affordable in New York State, because Long Island is the most expensive place to raise a family. We have to make New York a place where people can afford to remain and where future generations can stay," Johnson said.

Palumbo denounces the one party rule that had dominated the State house, and says it is going to be "critical" to bring "balance" of power back to state government. "All you have to do is look at the national level to see that one-fixed ideology does not work; they're not taking things in the right direction, yet they double down," says Palumbo. "The best way to govern and preside over legislation is to have balance and diversity of thought." Palumbo says he is confident the GOP will take seats back in November. "Independent groups of people are breaking in the Republicans' favor because we are the party of smaller government, and fewer or no mandates."

Asked to comment on one-party rule, Johnson asked, "My question to Zeldin and Palumbo is, 'Are they suggesting people who vote for Zeldin for governor should then vote for me as a Democrat?' The reality is, we Democrats will be in one party rule after the election and we will most effectively legislate for Long Island," Johnson said.

Candidates on both sides have made the Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision one of many political footballs in the 2022 race. "I'm pro-life, but I voted against late-term abortion," Palumbo said. Johnson is a staunch proponent of women's choice. "Women's rights are under attack," he said. "We are protecting people's lives and their right to decide what happens to their bodies." But calling the Democrats' approach to abortion rights "fear mongering", Palumbo explains there will be "no changes to abortion laws in New York State."

Johnson stated, "The laws haven't changed, but if my opponent and Lee Zeldin take over, they will have the power to outlaw abortion. "

Taxes remain a priority where Palumbo has a bill pending which, if passed, would require the state to

pay all taxes for homeowners over age 80, and another that doubles STAR rebates. "We've also fully restored foundation aid to school districts on an ongoing basis," Palumbo added.

Citing high spiking crime rates, Palumbo is a proponent for reforming current bail legislation passed by Democrats. "When I was in the Assembly, I vigorously fought against bail laws. We want some judicial discretion with adequate safety values because every case is not the same, " Palumbo stated.

"Current bail reform paints the same broad brush on all cases, but you can't hide behind behind bad laws."

Asked his position on bail laws, Johnson replied: "First, my opponent loves to talk about bail

reform, and I don't think he has any intention of changing bail reform."

Johnson continued: "Arrests can happen regardless of bail reform. I can look at bail reform as long as it is based on a hard set of facts, not on unfounded fear like my opponent."

Johnson said he "supports common sense, reasonable gun safety measures, passing red flag laws and raising the age to buy rifles.” But Palumbo counters: "Bills this majority has, such as banning semi-automatic rifles, would have done nothing, because you can still buy and legally possess one in Pennsylvania."

Each candidate offered why he is better suited to fill the 1st District Senate seat. "My life experience and experience in government, and always putting the 1st District First are what make me best suited to continue serving my constituents," Palumbo said. "My opponent is extremely progressive, and does not represent the values of those with Senate District 1. I'm a homeowner on Long Island," Palumbo added.

"My knowledge of the issues are what make me the best candidate," said Johnson. "I'll be a true voice, and at the end of the day, I'll be a full time Senator. I'm very confident we can win."

"I've been reelected (to state government) five times, and I take nothing for granted, and I take everything seriously," said Palumbo, noting he is a full time Senator.

Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy, Jr. is seeking his third four-year term to office.

Suffolk County Democratic Committee Spokesman Keith Davies reports the Democratic candidate, Thomas Dolan, is running an inactive campaign. Dolan could not be reached for comment.

Kennedy was first elected Comptroller in 2014 and won reelection in 2018. Prior to election as County Comptroller, Kennedy served a 10 year tenure in the Suffolk County Legislature.

In an interview with Kennedy last week, the Comptroller offered an overview of some of the duties and responsibilities of the office. "As Chief Fiscal Officer for the County of Suffolk, my authority and powers are detailed in the Suffolk County Charter and Sections 575-577 of New York State County Law," Kennedy explained. Of the State's 62 counties, Suffolk is one if seven whose Comptrollers are independently voted into office by the electorate.

"From an operational perspective, I oversee all finances under a $3.8 billion annual operating budget, and the annual

Kennedy's 3rd Term at Bat for County Comptroller Opponent Dolan Running Inactive Campaign

capital budget is $100 million," Kennedy noted. Citing further statistics, Kennedy reported the County's payroll totals $1.1 billion, where 42,000 individuals are covered under the Employees Medical Health Plan.

Projections for the 2023 budget shows revenues expecting to take a downward trend. "It's indisputable the housing market has cooled with continuing increasing interest rates by the Federal Reserve," Kennedy said. "When you have a 2% interest rate and you flip it to a 6% interest rate, that's hundreds of dollars difference in monthly mortgage payments, so there's been a slowing in the purchase of home sales, and with that, we'll likely see reductions in new purchases of appliances, and a number of other homeowner purchases, and in all likelihood, sales tax will drop," Kennedy explained. "While the county is incurring increased expenses for thing like electricity, and the Water Authority," Kennedy said, he pointed out that "the county is not expecting the same robust activity in 2023 as we had in 2022."

The recent hacking of County data, Kennedy said, could result in a delay of the County Executive's presentation of the 2023 operating budget. "I'm hoping for a

conservative, realistic operating budget," Kennedy said. "Suffolk County is resilient, this is a great County with great opportunities, schools, health care facilities, and the message is that we should go into this with eyes wide open and realistic, and not a pie in the sky notion."

With an eye on fiscal responsibility under Kennedy, the County's auditors established $6 million in the disallowance of prescription drug providers who, for example, failed to adhere to manufacturer’s rebates. "We have recovered $4 million and are actively seeking to recover the remaining $2 million," Kennedy

said. Another example of recovery of funds Kennedy noted stems from auditors finding the Beach Hut Concession falling short of unremitting sales tax and license fees totalling $1.2 million which had been recovered.

The Comptroller's office has increased its staff of auditors from 19 when Kennedy was elected to the office, to its current staffing of 34.

Elimination of the Treasurer's Office and incorporation under the umbrella of the Comptroller's Office, resulted in the reduction of 5 administrative posts and a savings to taxpayers of $6 million.

Puleo v Jimenez in Race for Suffolk County Clerk

By Barbara LaMonica

Smithtown Town Clerk Vincent Puleo of Nesconset and Suffolk County OTB Regional Branch Manager Lisa Jimenez of Medford, are vying for election to the Suffolk County Clerk's post. Puleo is running on the Republican and Conservative lines of the ballot, and Jimenez is running on the Democrat and Working Family Party lines of the ballot.

Puleo received the GOP nod as their candidate, but was first forced to run a primary against Republican incumbent clerk, Judith Pascale. "I was under the impression the present County Clerk (Pascale), was retiring, so once I accepted the nomination and the Republican party endorsed me, I had to run a primary," Puleo explained. Puleo came out on top at the polls and officially became the Republican candidate with the Conservative endorsement. Jimenez said she approached Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chairman Richard Schafer after a friend suggested she make a run. "I was talking about running to a friend, then spoke to Rich Schafer, who later called me asking me to run after I approached him," Jimenez said.

Both candidates tout their professional experiences and desires to continue public service as reasons for running. "I'm running because I can do a good job and bring my 16 1/2 years of experience at the Smithtown Town Clerk's office to the Suffolk County Clerk's office," Puleo said.

Jimenez says she's running because she can do the job. "I am honored to have this opportunity to run for this job; I'm a very approachable person, and I can work with all different people and not paint everyone with the same brush," Jimenez said. "I don't know Judith Pascale, but I respect her for the job she's done," Jimenez continued, adding, "basically, Puleo is running because they promised him the job eight years ago and you don't take this job because someone wants you to have ityou run because you want to do the job," Jimenez said. "Not so!" Puleo said in a follow-up interview. "The opportunity came up and I'm excited to take on the challenge, and am looking forward to serving the people of Suffolk County," Puleo countered.

Asked why he is running for County Clerk, Puleo said, "My resume speaks for itself. My vision

is to take a look at how things are being run and make improvements based on what I can do to improve constituent service, including receiving and responding to calls, keeping Supreme Court records, deeds, mortgages and collecting mortgage taxes," Puleo said. "On the operational end" he said, "I will improve upon and work cooperatively with ITT to make sure that the website is user-

friendly."

Jimenez is looking to make the office more accessible to constituents. "If the budget allows, I'd like to open up a satellite office one day a week, either one in each town or one in western Suffolk County, eastern Suffolk and central Suffolk, in order to make the office more accessible, especially to our seniors or handicapped, and also to veterans who may not want to

"I was initially opposed to this, but it's my job to do the will of the people; my staff embraced the duties, and we held the line on staffing while taking over these responsibilities," Kennedy explained.

In addition to the Legislature's offices in Hauppauge and Riverhead, the county has functions that operate out of 300 buildings throughout Suffolk including police precincts and DPW sites which the county is responsible for paying utilities, electricity, plumbing and HVAC expenses.

Looking ahead, Kennedy says a lot of unfinished work is being implemented including incorporating the same technology solutions software that NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's office utilizes. Kennedy said vigilant oversight will preside over an RFP for an additional $25 million in available opioid funds for the use of education providers for substance abuse and how to help this sector of the population.

"My office will continue to keep everyone on the straight and narrow," Kennedy said. "We are a small office, (105 employees), with a lot of big responsibilities. My wife and I are lifelong residents of this great County."

travel all the way to Riverhead," Jimenez said. "But the key is if it is in the budget."

Puleo's community involvement includes 50 years with the Nesconset Fire Department where he served as Past Chief and currently in hospital 29th year and Fire Commissioner. Puleo is President of the Nesconset Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the Suffolk County Fire Chiefs Council of Smithtown and member of Suffolk County Fire District Association of Smithtown. A lifelong Nesconset resident, Puleo is married with three sons and eight grandchildren. "My wife Beverly has been totally supportive of my work," Puleo said.

Jimenez served as a catechist at St. Sylvester RC Church in Medford. She, together with her husband, were active with their local PTA and Friars Club. She volunteers with the local food bank and Angels of Long Island. Jimenez is newly certified with Underground Railroad, an organization whose goal is to bring awareness to and prevention of human trafficking. A lifelong Medford resident, Jimenez is married and she and her husband have two children. She's been a member of Teamsters Local 237 and AFL-CIO.

Medford resident and Republican incumbent Joseph DeStefano is seeking his third two-year term for the 3rd Assembly District. DeStefano will appear on the Republican and Conservative lines of the ballot. When residents go to the polls on November 8th, they will be asked to choose between DeStefano and his Democratic opponent, Trina Miles whom Democratic Committee Spokesman Keith Davies reports is in a non-active campaign.

DeStefano cites his voting history coupled with staunch advocacy for his constituents as reasons why he's asking to be returned to Albany for the next two years. "Constituent Advocacy is my priority, along with reducing taxes, keeping families here on Long Island, creating more job opportunities, addressing and maintaining our quality of life, fighting inflation and public safety," DeStefano told The South Shore Press in an interview last weekend. "We're extremely fortunate with the law enforcement we have here in Suffolk County," notes DeStefano,

DeStefano Seeks 3rd Term in Assembly

who prior to his inaugural election to the State Assembly, was a Public Safety Dispatcher for the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office for 27 years.

The need for bail reform will be a priority on his agenda in the next session. "With the new bail reform law in 2020, I was first out of the box with a press conference advocating to repeal it," DeStefano recounts, remembering one incident after a perpetrator was released under the new law and caused an automobile accident that killed a local student on William Floyd Parkway over a year ago. The governor denied a request by local Republicans, DeStefano said, who asked for the Legislature to return for a special session to address revamping the law.

But in order to effectuate change in Albany, DeStefano asserts the one party rule stranglehold must be severed. "With Lee Zeldin at the top of the ticket, our goal is to break the supermajority, and to do that we'll need to take back eight seats," DeStefano explained. With 63 State Senators, DeStefano says three seats are needed to flip the

supermajority, and 12 to take back the majority.

DeStefano's position on abortion is that he is pro-life. "I am pro-life, however, unless the mother's life is in danger, or in instances of rape or incest," the Assemblyman explained.

DeStefano is a supporter of the Second Amendment and self-proclaimed "proud" gun owner. "I believe the laws are over-restrictive in that in Suffolk County it takes 18 months to get a gun permit." Asked how to stem the rising tide of crime, DeStefano asserts: "If a bad guy wants to get a gun, no piece of paper is going to stop him from

getting a gun; shootings are done by vicious non-law abiding citizens." Meanwhile, his focus remains on getting illegal guns off the streets and bail reform. DeStefano adds,"so I would fire DA's who are soft on crime, and advise when you go to the ballot box, to support those candidates who support public safety."

On the issue of reducing taxes, DeStefano says he's continuing to advocate investing in our children by securing additional state education aid and providing students with the tools they will need to thrive.

Asked about his confidence level to win the election, DeStefano stated, "I don't have an active opponent, but I'm working every day talking to voters and attending meet and greets, civic and Medford Chamber of Commerce meetings, and I go everywhere I’m invited. I'm confident, but not overly confident," the Assemblyman said.

DeStefano is a 44-year life member with the Medford Fire Department, and a 27-year sitting Commissioner.

Circuit Reliability Upgrades Begin in Shirley, Mastic Beach

PSEG Long Island is improving the reliability of the energy grid in Shirley and Mastic Beach. The storm hardening work on this distribution circuit is part of many system improvements included in the “Power On” program.

“PSEG Long Island is strengthening the electric lines that directly power homes and businesses because we know that electric reliability is more important than ever to our customers,” said Peggy Keane, PSEG Long Island’s vice president of Construction and Operations Services. “This Power On infrastructure improvement project in Shirley and Mastic Beach is part of our ongoing, multi-year effort to continue to improve electric reliability for our customers.”

The work began in midSeptember and will last for approximately four months.

PSEG Long Island’s licensed and approved contractors will work along mainline distribution lines in Shirley and Mastic Beach. To ensure traffic moves safely, PSEG Long Island will provide cones, flaggers and signage at the worksites, as needed. Local officials also will be notified in advance regarding any potential traffic concerns.

The storm-hardening improvements include:

• Stronger poles: PSEG Long Island will replace some existing utility poles with

stronger, more durable poles that are capable of withstanding winds up to 135 mph. The new poles will be approximately the same height as the existing poles, have a stronger base and will be placed no more than 5 feet from the current pole locations. PSEG Long Island will actively coordinate the removal of old poles with other utilities and municipalities.

• Narrow profiles: To help wires deflect falling limbs instead of catching them, PSEG Long Island will be installing shorter cross arms atop some poles.

• Stronger wire: Current wire will be replaced with more resilient and durable wire.

• Upgrading: PSEG Long Island will upgrade or replace worn

equipment as necessary.

Crews will be working on the following streets in Shirley and Mastic Beach:

• Thornwood Drive between Baywood Drive and Robinwood Drive

• Robinwood Drive between Thornwood and Mastic Road

• Mastic Road between Commack Road and Wavecrest Drive

• Madison Street between Wavecrest Drive and Montauk Highway

• Pawnee Avenue between Madison Street and Tonopan Street

• Somerset Avenue between Madison Street and Terapin Street

• Patchogue Avenue between Madison Street and Van Buren

Street

• Montauk Highway between Garden Place and Hawthorne Street

• Hoover Court between Bonny Drive and Titmus Drive

• Titmus Drive between Hoover Court and Ardmour Drive

• Titmus Drive between Sunrise Service Road North and Winters Drive

• North Titmus Drive between Sunrise Service Road North and Kameo Drive

• Sunrise Service Road North between Winters Drive and Barnes Road

As part of our physical distancing protocols, PSEG Long Island asks that customers remain in their homes when crews are working nearby. If customers must speak with our crews or contractors, we ask that they practice responsible social distancing and remain at least 6 feet away to ensure the health of everyone involved. For more information about how PSEG Long Island continues to live up to its commitments during the pandemic, please visit www. psegliny.com/covid19 .

PSEG Long Island prepares year-round for extreme weather to maintain reliable service for its 1.1 million customers.

Since 2014, the company has made significant investments in strengthening the electric infrastructure. Using funding

from both FEMA and LIPA, PSEG Long Island has completed storm hardening and reliability work on more than 1,000 miles of distribution mainline circuits.

Power On, a five-year program that started in the spring of 2020, continues the work now that the FEMA program has concluded. Since the launch of Power On, more than 214 miles of the most vulnerable distribution mainline circuits on Long Island and in the Rockaways have been storm hardened with stronger poles, thicker wire and other modern equipment.

These investments have strengthened the system so that fewer customers experience outages and, when they do occur, the duration is shorter, especially during extreme weather. From the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022, the sections of circuits that are storm hardened saw a nearly 44% reduction in damage leading to outages compared to the rest of the distribution system.

Power On focuses on mainline circuits, the backbone of PSEG Long Island’s distribution system. The mainlines feed the many branch lines that power the homes and businesses in individual communities.

Health & Welfare Council Honors Community Partners at 75th Anniversary Gala

The Health & Welfare Council of Long Island (HWCLI), a leading health and human services agency for the region serving Long Island's communities, celebrated its 75th anniversary at the Watermill Inn on September 21, 2022. The fundraiser drew over 300 Long Island nonprofit executives, business leaders, and government partners in support of HWCLI's service and leadership.

HWCLI's 75th Anniversary Gala was sponsored by Catholic Health, Morgan Stanley, and PSEGLI.

“HWCLI has been leading the non-profit sector for 75 years in partnering with government, advocating for communities and providing critical services,” says Rebecca Sanin, President/CEO. “It is exciting to celebrate the history and continued collaborations of this

important organization. There have never been more opportunities to innovate and collaborate within our sector. We are in unprecedented times, and we are so grateful for the collaborative partnership of our honorees and our entire network to continue to do such important work.”

Established in 1947, HWCLI began as a necessary innovation in countywide planning and thought leadership when senior members of the medical community implored Nassau County government to establish a specialized council whose purpose was macro systems planning and streamlined delivery and standardization of services within health and human services sectors.

For the past 75 years, HWCLI has

been Long Island’s go to agency for advocacy, convening and planning. From 9/11 to Superstorm Sandy to COVID-19, HWCLI has brought the human service sector together to leverage resources and services to best serve our communities. As Long Island’s demographics and needs have changed, HWCLI has evolved and taken on new strategies. HWCLI’s Board of Directors is primarily comprised of the executives of human service agencies who lend their expertise and knowledge to HWCLI’s work.

At the celebration, HWCLI honored the following partners for their work in community: Catholic Health for their commitment to integrating social care and healthcare, the Hispanic

Federation for their leadership in serving the Hispanic communities of Long Island, Long Island Federally Qualified Health Centers (LIFQHC) for their exceptional healthcare delivery for low income and uninsured Long Islanders, and PSEGLI for their support of disaster planning, preparedness, and response.

“This award recognizes the longstanding partnership between HWCLI and LIFQHC in serving undocumented and low-income Long Islanders with access to healthcare and supports,” says David Nemiroff, President/CEO of LIFQHC.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP

BY KARL GROSSMAN

Suffolk County government’s computer network was struck on September 8 by a massive cyberattack, and last week— three weeks later and hoping it was over—the county began what a spokesperson termed a “rolling restoration” of computer operations.

The county government’s websites, email and other online systems were taken offline immediately after the cyberattack. Still, last week, most county computers remained shut.

“Anything we have done has had to be manual,” County Comptroller John M. Kennedy, Jr. told me last week.

Suffolk government has had to go back to using paper.

Its Information Technology division is involved in dealing with the cyberattack and the FBI has joined in.

Meanwhile, the hackers leaked county documents including details about businesses that have had contracts with the county and county records containing personal information of people including sensitive information such as their addresses and dates of birth.

County government advised residents to periodically check their credit reports from one of the national credit reporting companies and look for “suspicious” activity.

The hackers have been threatening to leak more if Suffolk County government did not pay an amount of money that has not been publicly disclosed.

The website DataBreaches. net which publishes information about data breaches—and under its title has the line “The Office of Inadequate Security”—has been providing details about Suffolk government hacking.

One dispatch from DataBreaches. net, dated September 16, was titled “NY: Suffolk County struggles to recover from BlackCat ransomware attack.” It stated: “Suffolk County on Long Island joined the ranks of those hit by a ransomware attack, and the results and impact are not surprising. One headline on September 13 somewhat said it all: ‘County IT systems crippled, with websites, email down, five days after discovery of cyberattack.’” (That headline was on the website RiverheadLocal.)

DataBreaches.net continued

sheriff’s office records, contracts with the State of New York and other personal data of Suffolk County citizens. We also have huge databases of Suffolk County citizens extracted from the clerk. county.suf. domain in the county administration.”

“The post,” added DataBreach. net, “was accompanied by screencaps of various files that appear to have been exfiltrated from county systems.” Some of those files are then displayed in screen shots and thus are now accessible online.

to send out paper checks to pay county vendors” and “nonprofits contracted to perform social services were a high priority for payment.”

“Then a ransomware team stepped out of the shadows to claim responsibility for the attack,” said DataBreaches.net. “Variously called ALPHV or ‘BlackCat,’ they issued a post on their dark web leak site.”

The ALPHV or BlackCat post, according to DataBreaches. net, was: “The Suffolk County Government was attacked. Along with the government network, the networks of several

contractors were encrypted as well. Due to the fact that Suffolk County Government and the aforementioned companies are not communicating with us, we are publishing sample documents extracted from the government and contractor network.”

“The total volume of extracted files exceeds 4TB,” it said. TB in computer terms stands for terabyte. “A terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital data that is equal to about 1 trillion bytes,” explains the website Techtarget.com.

The post from the hackers went on: “Extracted files include Suffolk County Court records,

The Suffolk County Police Department called upon the New York City Police Department for help and it sent 10 operators to assist the Suffolk department’s Communications Section. “While operations have continued, our emergency call operators had been operating around the clock and unfortunately had to go back to our old system where call details were recorded by hand,” said Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison. The county’s Traffic Agency has been unable to process outstanding tickets. Civil service exams were postponed.

And this was just part of the cyberspace mess being faced.

When Aaron Judge tied Roger Maris's American League record for most home runs in a season the scene was touching and memorable. Judge's mother and Roger Maris Jr. embraced after the home run, Aaron gave the home run ball to his mother and everything was loving with a feel good mentality. After the game Maris's son took to the podium and told the world that when Judge broke the record and hit #62 he should be recognized as the real HR king in all of baseball.

Maris said the quiet part out loud. The man who was in St. Louis and was duped by McGwire during his iconic run towards his fathers legendary record fired shots at the steroid cheaters throughout baseball. The thing is Maris was only half right.

While many, including me, agree that we should literally remove Bonds, Sosa and McGwire's HR marks from the record books, the catch 22 here is shouldn't we also recognize the real home run single season leader as Aaron Judge and still Babe Ruth? There was a reason Maris had an asterisk attached to his name for years, and that reason has never changed. Aaron Judge tied Babe Ruth's 'real' home run mark days earlier with little fanfare, yet the controversy should still exist.

Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in 154 games. That is how long the season was. Aaron Judge also hit that mark in 60 games. When 8 more games were added to the schedule, that is when Maris set his mark. Babe Ruth almost certainly would have hit 61 and more than likely 62 or 63 that

THE ROTOMILLTM

BY CHUCK T. Fantasy Sports

There is an owner in my mixed Dynasty league that loves to make the biggest splash for the upcoming winter by being ahead of the curve in predicting the next phenom to come over from Japan or to be able to predict the next elite émigré from Cuban baseball. In 2021 he finished in 3rd place so he wanted to make a splash and jump to the head of the line to grab the player who would make everyone else’s wish list to be the #1 pick the next spring. That big splash was Japanese outfielder Seiya Suzuki. Well, we are still waiting. Suzuki was OK during 2022, but he was far from the Japanese Mike Trout like this guy predicted he would be. And from the some things in life never change department, our seer with the slightly fuzzy crystal ball was up to his tricks again in the final week this year, and once again, his quest to be recognized as the smartest kid on the block looks like it will end in failure again.

To be sure, investing in an international free agent signing is not for the faint of heart. It requires a tremendous amount

of patience and sometimes you have to wait multiple seasons.

A league I played in back in 2016 saw an owner put in for Shohei Ohtani on the next to last week of the 2016 season. Ohtani eventually made it to the major leagues in 2018 and played in 104 games as a hitter and 10 starting pitcher appearances. The revelation here being that Ohtani was much more dominant as an offensive player. Still, the owner that made that leap of faith in investing in him has been richly rewarded even though he had nothing to show for it in 2017. In March of 2015 the Boston Red Sox signed infielder Yoan Moncada as a defector out of Cuba. With the exception of his 2019 season, those owners are still waiting on a payday for their investment to pay off.

So what is the assessment of Seiya Suzuki after one season in MLB? What do you think of raw, uncooked mozzarella sticks? Not to be confused with Mike Trout, Suzuki was given a fair amount of hype and is as raw and unrefined as an uncooked mozzarella stick. In 372 at

season with an extra 8 games. In fact we only have to look to the next 4 games Ruth played that season (the World Series) where in just 4 games he added 2 more home runs. Ruth hit a home run every 11.7 at bats, which means given 8 more games he would have added about 2-3 more.

So yes Mr. Maris most baseball fans will agree with you that Bonds, Sosa and McGwire's marks are not truly recognized as the standard for home runs in a single season, but shouldn't we also still question adding 8 games to get to 61? The beauty of this all is the Aaron Judge did get to 60 home runs in 154 games, he did hit 61 home runs cleanly and he should be recognized as the single season home run king. Without the steroid controversy or the *.

bats, Suzuki has put up a .263 batting average, coupled with a .336 on base percentage. His 13 home runs and .478 slugging percentage is fairly pedestrian. Dig deeper into his STATCAST profile and the yawn becomes a full groan. 61st percentile in average exit velocity. 55th percentile in hard hit percentage. 78th percentile in sprint speed. He struck out at a 24.7% rate of his at bats. His walk rate at 9.1% of his at bats is not an elite mark. Now it is true that this was his first season in MLB. And for the

Cubs, he was able to be plugged in right away and contribute. But amongst fantasy baseball’s best players, there was nothing much special here.

Just this past week for the 2022 season, our friend made another big splash with a Japanese signing, this time for a Japanese pitcher. Kodia Senga is looking to come to the United States to test his ability alongside the best that MLB has to offer. Senga has expressed this desire several times in the last few years, but

Senga turns 30 years old in January 2023, and is currently ranked as the 4th best pitcher in Japan. He has no history of significant arm injuries but he had suffered a significant ankle injury in 2021, which could lead Fukuoka to challenge the status that he has attained 9 complete seasons in NPB. I don’t expect that challenge to be successful, but it is difficult to buy into the argument that this is an arm equivalent to Yu Darvish or Shohei Ohtani. There are some very, very exciting stars in Japan at the moment who are in their early 20’s. We will cover them in an upcoming article to come this winter. My advice is to sit tight and wait. There was no need to rush out and grab Senga now. Leave those mozzarella sticks in the oven my friends. Right now, they are raw and uncooked.

NANCY

BY NANCY BURNER, ESQ.

Q: A:

Guardianship

I have an elderly uncle. I’m embarrassed to say that I only visit once every few months and have notice a declined in his cognitive abilities at the last few visits. I recently learned that he has a caretaker that has moved into his apartment, and I suspect she is taking money from my uncle. When I asked about the situation, he was very upset and defensive. What can I do to protect him?

Your uncle may very well be the victim of elder abuse. It sounds as if he has become vulnerable because of his inability to take care of all of his own needs and the caretaker who was supposed to be helping him may be harming him. Unfortunately, it is often someone close to the elderly person who takes advantage.

It is likely that you will have to commence a guardianship proceeding in the County in which your uncle lives. Your attorney would have to prepare a petition that explains your uncle’s weaknesses, decline in capacity, the circumstances of the caretaker’s actions and the ways in which you believe they are causing harm.

Your petition will have to have enough information in it to raise the suspicions of the court, then a court evaluator will be appointed. This is an individual, often an attorney, that is appointed to do an investigation; they are often referred to as the “eyes and ears of

the Court.” While the Judge makes the final determination, the report of the court evaluator informs the Judge of the circumstances. These observations along with the information that you and other witnesses provide will be the evidence upon which the court will

make a determination.

Once appointed, the court evaluator will interview you, your uncle, the caretaker, and any other persons who are identified as possibly having relevant information. The report of the court evaluator will be submitted

to the Court and the evaluator will testify at the hearing that will be held within 28 days. It should include recommendations including whether the evaluator believes your uncle suffers from limitations, the effect of which is that he is likely to suffer harm. The

court will determine if he lacks the capacity to handle her own affairs and that she requires the assistance of a guardian. Or in the alternative, if he has capacity, she can consent to a guardian.

The powers granted to the guardian are supposed to be only those that are absolutely necessary for your uncle’s well-being. The idea of the guardianship is not to take away functions and responsibilities from your uncle that he can properly handle on his own, but to appoint someone to assist him with the things he cannot do and protect him from being a victim of undue influence of an un-monitored caretaker.

You should consult with an attorney experienced in guardianship as a first step if you do believe that a caretaker is taking advantage of your family member. The attorney can outline for you the risks and possible outcomes of bringing such a proceeding.

SEA

BY VINCENT PICA,

Over the years, we have covered per- & post- hurricane steps to take but as Hurricane Ian makes landfall in Florida it's time to review best practices. First, a reminder about the forces at work here. The force of the winds goes up with the square of the velocity. In layman’s terms, that means a hurricane with 150-mile-per-hour winds has four times — not just double — the force of one with 75-mile-per-hour winds. And the sea itself presents forces magnified beyond the speed of the wind – it is the momentum of the wind-driven seas and the tidal surge. The storm tide is added to the astronomical tides. And when those waves hit something solid, they generate force dozens of times more powerful than wind of the same speed. Sandy generated a storm surge of 14 feet.

Andrew generated a storm tide of 17 feet. Camille in 1969? 24 feet. Dorian made the Bahamas look like Hiroshima…

Ian’s packing a wallop. This column is about that.

Let Me Say It Again…

Never stay on the boat. I know. There are old timers that swear by it. “I’ve saved my boat every time when others were lost.” With absolute certainty, it is simply because the winds – and seas –never exceeded the operational capacity of the engines. But when they do, you will be lost with the boat. The boat is just money. You are someone. If you care about the people who care about you, read on – and leave the boat behind while you take your loved ones to high

ground.

The Spider Web of Lines

If you can’t get the boat out of the water and on to “the hard”, then you are compelled to protect her in her natural element – the water. Remember. Dorian made the Bahamas look like Hiroshima…

While nothing will save the boat from that, the vast majority of storm-driven tidal surges are significant but really fractions of that. So, with a “spider web of lines”, you can create a fighting chance that your beauty will ride out the storm.

What is common to all these configurations is lots of lines and long expanses of them. In two of them, you can also see that multiple anchors are used as well. The longer lines are there to address the tidal surge. The additional lines are there for back-up. Losing one line to stress doesn’t completely undo everything you’ve done.

Chafe Guards

Without doubt, you will need chafe guards of some kind since the storm will put extreme stresses on the lines where they are wrapped around the cleats and chocks. Your ground tackle too will need additional chafe protection. Think of the storm as putting a summer’s worth of stress on your lines – for every hour of ‘blow.’ If you go through a set of lines every two summers, they will never withstand a half-day of a serious ‘blow.’ And that is assuming that they are new.

What to use? The universal winner-take-all is old garden hose.

them out. I always suggest that they be secured to the boat, rather than the dock. If the boat does break free, at least she is taking some of her protection with her. Other Do Not's – pre- and post-Hurricane

Don’t drive through running water – or standing water for that matter! Why? Running water packs the same wallop we talked about above. Can it lift a car and sweep it away? In a heartbeat, yes. But standing water?

Where do you think fallen electrical cables land?

In Summary

Lay the line through a length of hose and lay that through the chock or along the toe rail where your line crosses the gunwale on its way to a cleat on the dock. In a pinch, duct tape (a TON of it) works really well. And it is more pliable than garden hose. For the aficionados, they will hate it because it looks like hell – but it works. BTW, while you can (now!), be sure that the cleats on the boat and on the dock are through-bolted with a backing plate. If not, they will become highspeed guided missiles as they fly out of their bedding under strain. And the boat will be free… No garden hose? Improvise. Leather straps. Rags. Anything helps, just some things help more than others.

Cut Your Windage

Do whatever you can to lower the boat’s profile to the wind. Take down the bimini cover and lash it. If you can’t, open the windows. Take down the antennas. Even that little bit of additional windage can tip the balance. A sailboat? I know I don’t need to say that you must stow all the sails, even the furled ones, below or ashore. If the boat has dorades or cowls, seal them. Wind – or wind-driven water –getting below at high speed can’t be good. Duct tape… And take in all the electronics and seal the boat’s electrical leads with tape.

Fenders and Fender Boards

Yes. As many as possible, put

Medicare is a federal program that provides health coverage for older adults and some younger adults with disabilities. Veterans need to know that Medicare offers an extra level of protection against high outof pocket medical costs. Medicare coverage can also give you more flexibility when choosing doctors and hospitals that provide your care.

Having VA and Medicare benefits at the same time can be very helpful if you need specialized care, if you have a condition not connected to your military service, or if you want to use non-VA providers. Because the Department of Veteran Affairs assigns each beneficiary to a priority group that determines how much you pay for services, having Medicare is especially helpful

if you’re in one of the lower priority groups with higher out-of-pocket costs. Being enrolled in Medicare and the VA, your VA benefits pay for VA-authorized services, and Medicare pays for Medicare –covered services.

Medicare comes in four (4) different parts. Of those the first two are the most important. Part A covers the inpatient hospital bills which include nursing care, laboratory tests, X-rays and surgical procedures. Part B covers preventive and medically necessary services, including ambulance, clinical research, and mental health treatment.

OF MEN & ANGELS

BY DOMINICK FORTE

There are palpable differences between the depiction of angels in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Unlike in the Old Testament, we do not find angels of vengeance or death in the New Testament. We do not see them killing Egyptian children. They don’t give kings leprosy. Rather they seem to appear at glorious moments.

The New Testament doesn’t talk about angelic activity until after the death of Jesus. The exception to this being the episode relating Satan’s attempt to tempt a fatigued Jesus at the end of His forty day fast in the desert. And then there’s the two angels who kept the agonized Jesus company the night before His execution in the Garden of Gethsemane.

John’s gospel tells of two angels, believed in angelic lore to be Virtues, sitting outside Jesus’ tomb at the Resurrection. Other evangelists report one angel. This detail doesn’t matter. What does matter is that there was an angelic presence at the tomb when Mary Magdalen came to the grave to finish anointing the

body of Jesus.

There is no mention of wings in any of the gospel accounts. The angel or angels looked human but had the countenance “like lighting and garments as white as snow.” Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and a woman named Joanna approached the cave in

Angels in the Old and New Testaments

Another angel is seen by the centurion Cornelius, a Roman who is considered by Christians to be the first Gentile to convert to the faith. This angel is described as “a man in bright apparel.” He tells Cornelius to send for Peter.

which their Lord was reposing and to their horror found that the Body was not there. But the angel was there, and told them that Jesus had risen.

After they ran breathlessly to tell the Apostles, Peter and John also found the tomb unoccupied. Even the angels were gone. Each of the evangelists tells the story

a little differently, but in essence, it’s the same story.

In the Acts of the Apostles, an angel (some say it was Michael, others say it was Gabriel), springs Peter from prison, appearing suddenly in his cell and to his amazement, breaking his chains and leading him past all the guards who were asleep.

These angels are all males. They are depicted so in scripture and later on in other literature and art. They are wingless patriarchs who replaced the goddess figures that reigned in earlier times. Not for a millennium do angels reappear as females. Of course, this is all open to debate since angels are pure spirit and do not have the properties of a human body. However, it is when visiting earth on a mission from God that they can assume any vessel they choose, or that God chooses for them.

There are marked differences between the angels appearing in the Old Testament and the New Testament and our perceptions of them have steadily evolved up until the close of the Renaissance era.
