MASTIC BEACH TREE LIGHTING










Over one hundred bussiness leaders and community leaders attended the 2nd Annual Christmas Tree lighting that was sponsored by the Greater Chamber of Commerce of Mastic Beach.
The annual event featured a special visit by Santa Claus to light the community Christmas tree making the start of Christmas week in the south shore community.
The event featured signing and music provided by Party 105.3 radio and help from the Mastic Beach Fire Department.
Holiday spirit abounded as residents and VIPs including Santa himself turned out for the annual tree lighting in Center Moriches.
A countdown rang out and the switch was thrown on a bright holiday display delighting the crowd at the King Kullen shopping plaza on Main Street. Joining jolly St. Nick and Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches officials who helped organize the event were Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine, Councilman Dan Panico, and Legislator Jim Mazzarella.
The outpouring of gifts to local elderly residents has been astounding under Operation Christmas Senior and the community is still going strong in showing their generosity.
“Thanks to the kindness of many, seniors in need won’t go without this holiday season,” said Assemblyman Joe DeStefano who is coordinating the collection of personal items and gifts for residents of area nursing homes and care facilities. “Many of these seniors have no family and now more than ever we need to remind them they are loved and remembered.”
In addition to Assemblyman DeStefano’s Medford office at 3245 Route 112, Operation Christmas drop off boxes are located at the Sachem, Brookhaven, South Country, and Patchogue-Medford libraries. For more information, call the Assemblyman’s office at 631207-0073 or just stop in and drop off a donation.
In addition to everyday personal items, home-bound seniors appreciate readers, magnifying glasses, blankets, puzzles, pajamas, and other small gifts. A big part of the operation’s success is Tracey Alvino, director of Voices for Seniors, which will distribute the gifts. For more information about this amazing organization visit

“It’s truly heartwarming to see how these gestures of kindness are appreciated and I wish everyone who makes a donation could see how people light up and are so thankful to see that someone is thinking of them,” Assemblyman DeStefano said, adding, “The donations are still coming in strong and I encourage everyone to make a small gesture of kindness that will go a really, really long way.”

These issues loom especially large as we have seen residents and businesses in states such as California suffer through a rushed transition to windmills and solar panels. Will these energy sources be able to handle the load here in the Empire State or will we pay an unbearable price for poor energy decisions such as those in Europe where governments are rationing energy and forcing people to burn wood and coal to heat their homes?
and have a devastating effect on our economy. For a stark example, we need to look no further than Texas where a cold snap took out its renewable energy grid and caused billions in losses.
Without affordable, reliable energy, New York will double down on being the most expensive place to live in the nation and few people will be left to pay the bills. The Empire State would be no longer.
Making sure New Yorkers have a dependable and affordable supply of electricity will be a critical issue during the next few weeks as we come to grips with legislation designed to make significant changes to the state’s energy sector.
As part of the new laws, the state’s Climate Action Council (CAC) is scheduled to release a Final Scoping Plan on December 19. I encourage everyone who pays an electric bill to read it at www.climate.ny.gov and make your voice be heard.
There are major question marks surrounding the plan including how realistic it is to rely heavily on wind and solar energy for domestic and commercial use, how much it will cost, and what impact it will have on our economy.
With a heavy reliance on electric vehicles, New York’s rule makers need to address how they will be charged, the price, and where the batteries will be sourced, not to mention the disposal of the toxic elements of spent energy cells. With the majority of renewable energy components— rare earth minerals, batteries, solar panels, wind turbines—coming from China and other countries that are our economic competitors and do not ascribe to the environmental laws that we do, how will this affect us as a global superpower?
Policy analysts have made some stark predictions about New York’s climate action plan. The Empire Center for Public Policy estimates 10 percent supply shortages by 2040 if the plan is fully implemented. Blackouts resulting from a strained energy grid could prove fatal during a summer heat wave or winter storm
My Republican colleagues and I remain committed to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment both in New York and beyond. This, though, must be accomplished in an affordable, sustainable and reasonable manner. Clean energy is an important part of the future, but without traditional power sources to supplement it, we will be facing an unprecedented energy crisis as soon as the new laws take effect. This cannot be allowed to happen.
I urge everyone to get wise to what’s going on and what the Democrat leadership wants to do to our state. Call Gov. Kathy Hochul at 518-474-8390 and tell her what you think.

Joann Frontino passed away on December 9th, after a short, but courageous battle with cancer. She was a dedicated prestigious life member of Shirley Community Ambulance. Chief James Deutsch said, “Joann was a dedicated volunteer serving over 33 years with our department. She served on the membership committee and student committee and played an important role in our fundraising events. Joann was one of a kind and was always willing to lend an ear or give motherly advice to the members. To her, all of the volunteers were her kids and she took pride in everything Shirley Ambulance. It was our privilege and honor to escort Joann to her final resting place. Her presence at the station will never be replaced or forgotten.”
Joann worked for the United States Secret Service as a Senior Investigative Assistant for over 40 years. She loved her job as much as she loved Shirley Ambulance Company. She was escorted to her resting place by Shirley Ambulance, assisted by the Secret Service, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s department and Brookhaven Fire Department.
Joann is survived by her twin sister, Marie Trotta, her brother-in-law and Fire News publisher, Frank Trotta, her niece, Christina Roupas (Lee) and nephew, Frank Trotta III (Jessica), her brother Anthony Frontino, his wife Mary and their children. She is also survived by several great nieces and nephews.
Rest peacefully Joann.
Daddy said happily, “We need a tree, Let’s visit the Red Apple Farm Family.”
But first, we must go to the Holtsville Lightshow, Where a spectacular holiday show is aglow. Mommy was bubbly, and in minutes we were changed. We wore our new dresses; the Santa Express has been arranged. It was cold and clear, at home by the bay, Daddy drove fast, and was lost part of the way. My sister and I held on for dear life.
Daddy made a quick right before the Nightlife. At last, all trees and plants were lit up so bright. We had arrived at the Brookhaven Ecological Site. A town fund-raiser for families in need;

They call it, “The Holiday Light Spectacular,” indeed. With families from Long Island cheerful and gay, I wished to breakout of my stroller and play.
To the left, a greenhouse decorated with flair, To the right, Saint Nick waiting by his chair. A Yaphank Fire Truck was ready to board, And a train with picture holes, who could be bored! With bulbs and colors and ethereal glory, Daddy laughed at the leg from the Christmas Story. Nutcrackers, gingerbread, ferries and toys There were so many scenes of holiday joys’ We missed the popcorn and hot cocoa drinks, Small children jumping like reindeer – that stinks!
Yet, polar bears, owls of gold, a painted zebra too, Little green elves appeared, and Mrs. Santa Clause - it’s true.
Ten thousand lights, historical tales to be told, What a magnificent extravaganza to behold! We leave by the windmill, the paths lit-up, Daddy said, “Sorry, our time is now up.”
“We can go to the farm and pick out our own tree,” Mommy said smiling and flirting with glee. Off we drove, in the car, two sisters in the back. It was the perfect time to take a nap. Only awoken to more lights and trees.
Outside, my gosh, there was a cold breeze.
Strapped to the car, our tree paid for in cash.
Daddy drove home and was told, “not to crash.”
Mommy made sure we had a bottle before bed.
Daddy brought the tree inside and banged his big head.
Mommy tells Daddy to quietly “please hush.”
“Why in one night, did this have to be rushed?”
“It’s Christmas,” she soothes, “You’re tired, goodnight.”
Daddy says, “No, we’ll finish for the babies delight.”
He had the lights and some tinsel in hand;
“We have much to do, I get tired, so please understand.”
The tree and the house were decorated just right.
“Good Heavens,” in the morning, it will be quite the sight.
Two babies asleep in their cribs are now fed, We dream and hope and pray for peaceful days ahead.

The bill by Suffolk Legislator Rob Trotta—a retired Suffolk Police uniformed officer and detective— to prohibit members of the Suffolk County Police Department from “engaging in political activity” has been described by Newsday as the “Suffolk version of the federal Hatch Act.” It’s the U.S. law that restricts civil service employees in the executive branch of the federal government from engaging in political activity.
Trotta, with the Suffolk County Police Department up to his election to the legislature has been—despite his county police background— highly critical of political activities of Suffolk police unions led by the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association.
This is not just his issue. Newsday has published investigative pieces and editorials on the matter. The New York Times spotlighted the issue in Suffolk with a spread last year that featured a column by Farah Stockman, an editorial board member of The Times, headlined: “The County Where Cops Call the Shots.” It began: “Rob Trotta, a cranky Republican county legislator on Long Island who worked as a cop for 25 years, might be the unlikeliest voice for police reform in America. He’s full of praise for the rank and file….Yet Mr. Trotta has railed for years about the political influence of police unions in Suffolk County,
Long Island, a place where the cops are known to wield exceptional clout. He’s a potent messenger, since he can’t be smeared as anti-cop. He wore a badge and walked a beat.”
I know the Suffolk County Police Department well having been hired in 1964 by the daily Long Island Press to cover the department and courts in Suffolk. Every weekday morning I sat with the department’s commissioner, John L. Barry (for whom its headquarters in Yaphank is now named), before walking down the halls of the then headquarters in Hauppauge, dropping in at its various bureaus to gather news.
The Suffolk County Police Department was born in the wake of scandal, known as the “Suffolk Scandals,” which involved a series of special state prosecutors sent here in the 1950s and uncovering corruption in governmental and law enforcement areas.
A top priority of Jack Barry, who had been a detective investigator in the Suffolk district attorney’s office, was keeping the new department scandal-free. It was formed in 1960 after a countywide referendum. That was the commitment of other top commanders in the department with whom I would also connect.
What Legislator Trotta has been challenging is a phenomenon of relatively recent years: police unions in Suffolk with enormous clout
The National Defense Authorization Act, establishing the U.S. Space Force was signed into law (with bi-partisan support) on December 20, 2019. This was the first new branch of the armed services in 73 years. It is one of the six military services, and the world’s only independent space force. It is the smallest U.S. armed forces, consisting of 8,400 military personnel. The Space Force operates 77 spacecrafts across various programs.
With the growing threat posed by near-peer competitors in space, it became clear that there was a need for a military service focused solely on pursuing superiority in the space domain. The creation of a U.S. Space Force was established to fill the need of space coverage and was necessary for national security.
The U.S. Space Force traces its roots back to the beginning
of the Cold War, with the first Army Air Forces space programs starting in 1945. In 1954, the first dedicated space organization within the U.S. was established within the Armed Forces and continued to exist as the Space Forces and Missile Systems Center. It conducted combat support in the Vietnam War and continued to support satellite communications, weather, and navigation during 1982. The first major employment of the Space Force during the Gulf War caused it to be referred to as the first “space war”.
The first discussions of creating a military space service occurred in 1958, and the idea was also being considered in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan. The Space Commission argued for the creation of a Space Corps between 2007 and 2011, and a bipartisan proposal in the U.S. Congress would have created a U.S. Space Corps in 2017. On
endorsing and giving campaign contributions to politicians and, Trotta charges, in return getting lavish contracts.
The issue of the clout of police unions is not unique to Suffolk. Last year in Salon magazine, former U.S Labor Secretary Robert Reich wrote a piece headed: “The unchecked power of police unions.” He declared at the start: “Look, I was Secretary of Labor. I’m in favor of unions.” Still, he railed about an “investigation that found police unions spent about $87 million in influencing state and local legislation over the past two decades, and at least $47.4 million on campaign contributions and lobbying at the federal level.”
I, too, am very much in favor of unions. At the Long Island Press,
I was a member of the Newspaper Guild, and as a SUNY Old Westbury professor of journalism for the past 44 years, a member of United University Professions.
However, as Trotta, of Fort Salonga, began an essay earlier this year in Newsday: “Why have Suffolk County law enforcement unions unethically and in my view illegally spent over two million dollars on the campaigns of former District Attorney Tim Sini and County Executive Steve Bellone? Because they could. The pair, like the overwhelming majority of local politicians from both parties, have eagerly benefited from the expenditures with little regard for their questionable origins. And, as a result, the power and influence of
the unions has continued to grow exponentially, evident by contractual raises received…”
“Law enforcement unions blatantly disregarding the law to garner political favor at taxpayers’ expense is disgraceful, and cannot be allowed to continue,” he said. “My repeated calls for action and pleas to bring an end to these corrupt practices have been continually ignored by virtually every elected official and agency from several police commissioners, Bellone and Sini to the state attorney general, state Board of Elections and many more. While disheartening, their unresponsiveness has come as no surprise, as these individuals and agencies are benefiting from donations and other support directly or indirectly.”
“These actions also violate the Suffolk County Police Department’s own rules and procedures, which cite state election law. While the union’s actions should not reflect negatively on our hardworking rank-and-file police officers, unfortunately, it is hard to escape the stain of such impropriety,” Trotta continued. “Trust in government is paramount in our society. When those entrusted with preserving law and order knowingly break the law to manipulate public policy and enrich themselves, they must be held accountable or that trust will be forever broken.”
space operations. Its stated duties enumerated as to “protect the interests of the United States in space, deter aggression in from, and to space, and conduct space operations."
December 20, 2019 the United Space Force Act was signed into law as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. It reorganized the Air Force Space Command and other Air Force space elements into the United States Space Force. It was the first new independent military
service since the creation of Air Forces the U.S Air Force in 1947.
The mission of the United States Force is to train and to be equipped to provide freedom of operation for the United States in, from, and to space, and provide prompt and sustained
On August 15, the Army’s satellite ground stations were officially transferred to the Space Force. Now the Space Force has control of the Wideband Global SATCOM and Defense Satellite Communications System’s fleet of satellites, which share the data across the armed services, the State Department and the White House. This transfer included about $78 million moved to the Space Force's budget to cover the cost of operating five satellite operation centers and four regional support centers that were previously under Army control. In addition 500 military and civilian personnel from the Army were moved to Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado.

Steve Cohen has thrown a ton of money around this offseason and has given New York Mets fans the hope they have always wanted. They have had good teams, even championship level teams, but never in the Amazin's history have they ever had an owner who would throw money at problems to show the world he was serious about winning.
Cohen has been compared to George Steinbrenner by many, and that may prove to be a problem more than a solution. Every Yankees fan knows that King George was great to have behind the team with his deep pockets, and willingness to spend big, but true Bombers fans also know that it was when George was suspended and the team went with their youth movement under Stick Michael that the dynasty was born.
Steve Cohen has the money, and he's using it ... but, is he using it wisely? Odds makers across the country aren't buying into
the new look Mets, and neither are the public. In fact after all of the Mets big moves, their odds remain almost the same. Before the spending spree the Mets were about 10 to 1 to win the World Series and slightly behind the Atlanta Braves to win their division. After all the cash has been spread out New York still remains just about 10 to 1 to win it all next year, and are basically tied with Atlanta to take their own division.
There is a lot of excitement in New York, but the substance just isn't there. The moves that were made were big splashes, but will that produce big results? New York won 101 games in 2022, tied with the Braves. So, how much improvement will the new faces bring?
The Mets added Justin Verlander as the big piece to the offseason puzzle. In reality Verlander, and his 40 year old arm, just one season removed from Tommy John surgery, is only replacing what the
Mets had in Jacob deGrom. The contract looks better long term, but there are still question marks if this is a vast improvement.
The same goes for Jose Quintana and Kodai Senga replacing Chris Bassitt and Taijuan Walker. Bassitt had 15 wins and a 3.42 ERA for New York last season. In fact, he has a 3.45 career ERA and has proven to be a durable, solid winner. Walker added 12 wins to his 3.49 ERA last season as well. Those are really good numbers for the #3 and #4 starters in your rotation.
Jose Quintana had a resurgence year last season splitting time between the Pirates and Cardinals to produce a 2.93 ERA. There are some problems with him though. Quintana has had 6 total wins since 2019, he will be on his 6th team in 5 seasons and you have to go back to 2016 to find his ERA under 4 before last year's fluke. If he gives you Walker's numbers, Mets fans will be happy.
Senga is also a huge question
mark. He's had arm issues, pitched a lot of innings, we don't know how his game will translate to big league hitters and he is just one year removed from a bad season overseas. Senga comes with a lot of intrigue and a lot of pitfalls as well. For the Mets to win this sideways move he will have to match Bassitt's numbers. That means to be a sideways move Senga and Quintana have to win 27 games and have about a 3 1/2 ERA. A tall order to say the least.
The bullpen exchanged Trevor Williams for Brooks Raley and David Robertson. While Robertson is someone easy to root for, his career was spiraling down before last year and Raley had nearly a 5 ERA and is on his 5th team. This isn't the massive improvement Mets fans were hoping for. These were sideways moves.
Finally there is the offense. If you asked any Mets fan at the end of 2022 what were the big issues with
this team the response would have been we need a bat .. or two. They resigned Brandon Nimmo. A soon to be 30 year old outfielder who has never hit more than 17 home runs, driven in more than 64 RBI, hit more than .280 and has played more than 92 games just twice in his 7 year career.
The Mets made some big splashes, and all in all most were needed moves, but once the excitement wears off and New York fans take a step back they will see what the odds makers see. The Mets are about the same team as they were last year. They are still looking up at the Dodgers in the National League, still going to have a tough time fighting off the Phillies and might be behind Atlanta. So, for all of his posturing, headline making deals and money being spent, Steven Cohen went sideways this offseason. He's trying but he might learn the hard way just like Mr. Steinbrenner did. Money doesn't always win championships in baseball.

In general, there are only three ways to pay for nursing home care: long-term care insurance, Medicaid, or paying privately. While health insurance plans do not cover nursing home care, there are specific circumstances where Medicare will cover skilled nursing care for a limited period of time.
Skilled nursing care is a high level of care provided by trained and licensed professionals, such as registered nurses (RNs), licensed professional nurses (LPNs), medical directors, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Skilled nursing care is usually short-term and helps people get back on their feet after injury or illness. Skilled nursing may also be appropriate for individuals suffering from chronic conditions needing constant medical supervision. Examples of skilled nursing include wound care, medication administration, physical and occupational therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Qualifying for Medicare covered skilled nursing requires special admission requirements set by the federal government:
The individual has Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) with a valid
benefit period. The benefit period will start from the date of admission to a hospital or skilled nursing facility and last for up to 60 days after the end of the stay.
The individual has a qualifying hospital stay. This generally means at least three in-patient days in a hospital.
The doctor has recommended daily skilled nursing care for the
patient. The care must be provided by skilled nurses and therapists or under their supervision. The care must be related to the condition treated during the qualifying hospital stay.
The skilled nursing facility that is Medicare certified. A skilled nursing facility must meet strict criteria to maintain its Medicare certification.
Usually, the skilled nursing care services covered by Medicare include semi-private or shared rooms, meals, nutritional counseling, medication, medical supplies, medical social services, and ambulance transportation. It also covers rehabilitative services required for recovery, such as physical therapy, respiratory therapy, and speech therapy.
Medicare offers coverage for up to 100 days of treatment in a skilled nursing facility. Medicare covers the full cost of the first 20 days of skilled care. For days 21–100, Medicare pays all but a daily coinsurance.
The daily coinsurance in 2023 will be up to $200 dollars per day. The right supplemental health insurance policy will cover the coinsurance.
The key to Medicare paying the costs is requiring and receiving skilled nursing care during the entire period. Note that if the patient refuses the recommended daily skilled care or therapy, then Medicare may deny coverage from then on. When an individual has rehabilitated as much as they can and there can be no further improvement, the coverage ends - even before the 100 days is up. If the individual still requires care, such as for activities of daily living in a nursing home environment, Medicare does not cover the cost. Families must look to qualifying for Medicaid or paying privately.
