COUNTY

Republicans Select County Executive and County Legislative Candidates

By Robert Chartuck

The Suffolk GOP and Conservative parties have made it official: Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine, a long-serving town and county official from Center Moriches, will be their candidate for county executive. Looking to replace the term-limited Steve Bellone and become the first Republican to hold the county’s highest office in two decades, Romaine leads a ticket of 18 legislative candidates including incumbents and challengers looking to make their mark on county government.

Chosen to lead the Democrat ticket was David Calone, 49, a former federal prosecutor and past-chair of the Suffolk Planning Commission who also served in the state Attorney General’s office. The East Setauket resident was a Long Island Power Authority board center and currently works as a venture capitalist.

The candidates vie for Suffolk’s top seat as the county faces a record outmigration of residents fleeing crime, inflation, high taxes and government fees, and illegal immigration. Both have expressed a need to balance economic development with environmental protection on an island showing the strain from state and national policies which don’t cater to the suburbs.

Running on a fiscally conservative record of staying within the state tax cap and maintaining Brookhaven’s Triple A bond rating, Romaine, 76, said he looks to lead the region in securing monies from the $1 trillion federal infrastructure bill passed by Congress last year and New York’s $4.2 billion environmental bond act, approved by voters in November. Noting the substandard condition of area roads and bridges, lack of sewers, and the need to preserve water resources, open space and farmland, Romaine said, “We supported these measures because there is a huge need for projects here in Suffolk and as county executive, I will lead the region in making sure that money makes its way to Long Island.” He also pledged to fight for the electrification of the three rail lines that serve the county.

The Brookhaven supervisor has been a conspicuous voice against the Progressive bail laws which he says favor criminals over law-abiding citizens and noted his support of law enforcement and opposition to

the “Defund the Police” movement. He cites illegal immigration and the Fentanyl crisis as issues he will be at the forefront to resolve and has been part of a delegation of Long Island leaders railing against Gov. Hochul’s moves to usurp local zoning and increase high-density, multi-family housing. “We are not New York City,” Romaine told a boisterous crowd at the GOP convention in Ronkonkoma. “We are Long Island and we must preserve our suburban way of life.”

Elected to the town’s top post in 2012, Romaine has served as a Suffolk legislator and county clerk. He taught history in the Hauppauge School District for 12 years and was an adjunct professor at Dowling College, Stony Brook University and Suffolk Community teaching economics, public policy and history. Before his service as an elected official, Romaine was Brookhaven’s first commissioner of Housing and Community Development and was later appointed director of Economic Development. He has previously run for Congress and county executive, having lost to Steve Levy, the Democrat succeeded by Bellone.

Supervisor Romaine leads a Republican-Conservative ticket which includes candidates for all of the county legislature’s 18 seats, a slate that boasts six incumbents representing all or portions of Brookhaven Town: James Mazzarella (LD 3), Nick Caracappa (LD 4), Dominick Thorne (LD 7), Anthony Piccirillo (LD 8), Trish Bergin (LD 10), and Leslie Kennedy (LD 12). In the town districts represented by Democrats, the GOP has put up Catherine Stark in the first LD, Manuel Vilar in the second, Anthony Figliola in the fifth, and Chad Lennon in the sixth.

Thorn, of Patchogue, won accolades in 2021 when he became the first challenger to defeat a sitting presiding officer in the history of the Suffolk Legislature, taking a seat that was in Democrat hands for almost a half century. Serving nearly 30 years in the local fire and EMS services, Thorne was an EMTcritical care tech with the North Patchogue Fire Department where he served as captain of Emergency Medical Services. He is vice chair of the legislature’s Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services and Preparedness Committee, among other committees.

Born and raised in the Moriches Bay Area, Mazzarella is the secretary/ treasurer of the Long Island Public Service Employees Union Local 342. He is a William Floyd High School alumni and graduate of the SUNY Maritime College who won a special election for his seat in May 2021 and then was reelected that November for a full two-year term. Mazzarella served as a trustee of the Mastics, Moriches, Shirley Community Library and is a longtime member of the Rotary Club of the Mastics and Shirley, having been honored as a Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International. He is a member and past President of the Crystal Beach Property Association. Upon taking office, Mazzarella sponsored legislation that clarified the county’s term limit law after long-time Legislator Kate Browning, who he defeated twice, tried to override restrictions that prevented her candidacy.

Nick Caracappa followed in his mother’s footsteps, the legendary Conservative Legislator Rose Caracappa, after winning a special election in 2020. He is the GOP Majority Caucus leader and has an extensive background as a union official having served with Suffolk County Water Authority for 34 years. A lifelong resident of Selden, he is the father of five children and a member of the Selden Civic Association and the PTA.

Piccirillo, a Holtsville resident first elected in 2019, is a Sachem North High School graduate who attended Suffolk County Community and Dowling College, where he studied history. He spent more than 20 years in the private sector working various service industry jobs. He was a legislative aide for County Legislator Steve Flotteron and worked on the Reduce County Spending Task Force. He also helped draft the bill allowing the legislature to record and livestream video of committee meetings. Piccirillo was also part of legislation to recognize Italian History Appreciation Month and Irish History Appreciation Month in Suffolk.

A popular personality from News 12 Long Island, Bergin transitioned from journalism to local government in 2010 when she served as Islip Town Councilwoman for more than a decade. She grew up in Ronkonkoma and is a graduate of Connetquot High School. She received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from New York Institute of Technology where she graduated Cum Laude and received a full scholarship to the school’s Master’s Program earning a Master of Arts. Bergin was first elected to the legislature in 2021.

Legislator Kennedy of Nesconset is a lifelong resident of Long Island, raised in Commack. She worked as an aide to Suffolk Legislator Donald Blydenburgh and for her husband, County Comptroller John Kennedy when he was a legislator before becoming a legislator herself in 2015. Prior to her service in government, she worked in numerous hospitals and in private service for 30 years as a Registered Nurse. She was also a business manager and worked at a rehabilitation facility with individuals suffering from substance abuse.

Looking to put Legislative District 1 back in Republican hands, the GOP selected Catherine Stark for the seat currently held by Al Krupski, who is running for Southold Town Supervisor. A lifelong Republican, Stark, 59, has been a legislative aide to Krupski for almost his entire 10year tenure in the legislature. She also served in various county positions including the clerk of the legislature’s office, real property tax services, and former county Executive Bob Gaffney’s office, before becoming a legislative aide. A Riverhead native, she is the daughter of former Town Supervisor James Stark. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in organizational management from St. Joseph’s College in 2005 while holding down a full-time job and raising three children.

Lining up against Legislator Bridget Fleming in the 2nd LD is

Sunday March 12, 2023 2:00AM

Manuel Vilar, 62, of Easthampton, a retired 38-year veteran of the New York State Park Police and president of the Police Benevolent Association of New York. Vilar is chairman of the Easthampton GOP and holds the distinction of being the town’s last elected bay constable. He’s run previously for town supervisor, councilman and trustee. He started Accabonac Strategies, an Albany lobbying group, and the not-forprofit Retired Police Benevolent Association of New York, to represent officers and their families.

Going for the fifth district seat being vacated by the term-limited Kara Hahn is Anthony Figliola, 42, an East Setauket resident who heads an economic development and public relations firm. The Rocky Point native graduated from Stony Brook University with a degree in Public Administration and Political Science. He formerly served as a deputy town supervisor for economic development in Brookhaven with the Brian Foley Administration. He is married with three children. Figliola will square off against former Assemblyman Steve Englebright who was defeated in November by Edward Flood in a race in which Figliola played a role. Running in another seat vacated by term limits, that of the sixth district's Sarah Anker, will be Chad Lennon, a Rocky Point attorney active with military, veterans and federal employment law. Lennon also serves as an aide to newly-elected Congressman Nick LaLota and was previously on the staff of state Senator Anthony Palumbo. Lennon is a Touro law school graduate who worked in the offices of the Suffolk District Attorney and U.S. Attorney. Following active duty where he received a Purple Heart and a number of other service commendations, he serves as an Intelligence Officer in the Marine Corps Reserves. Lennon also holds a Masters of Arts Degree from Adelphi University and a Bachelor of Arts from Wagner College, both in in Sociology and Criminal Justice.

Democrats Select County Executive Candidate

By Barbara LaMonica

The Democrat ticket for Suffolk County Executive and Legislature is in place for the November 2023 elections. Topping tbe ticket for County Executive is Princeton University and Harvard Law School graduate, Dave Calone, a small business entrepreneur and former federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice who specialized in prosecuting corporate fraud by companies in the oil and gas industries. He also helped prosecute an al-Qaida terrorist involved in the 9/11 attacks. He was a New York State Special Assistant Attorney, helping to negotiate health care fraud recovery for taxpayers.

Calone was appointed to Chair the Suffolk County Planning Commission by both County Executive Steve Bellone and preceding County Executive Steve Levy, a position he held for 8 years until 2016.

Through Calone's navigation of Suffolk County's first Comprehensive Land Use Plan in

over four decades, and as Chair of Suffolk's Superstorm Sandy Review Task Force, he helped pave the way to shape the future of Suffolk County, and address inequities in housing, health and economic opportunity. Calone received the National Achievement Award by the National Association of Counties for job creations and cutting through red tape for solar installations.

Asked what makes him better poised to serve as Suffolk's next County Executive, Calone told South Shore Press: "My background,

first in county experience, then as a prosecutor, also my involvement in the business community, and my experience in Suffolk County Land Use from Melville to Montauk, and quarterbacking the comprehensive land use blueprint that takes the County through 2035 are just part of what make me most qualified," Calone said.

From a fiscal standpoint, Calone offered his recommendations moving forward: "We've never had a county land audit, and I would love to see, where appropriate, to look at how county land can be developed for workforce housing so our young people can afford to stay here." Calone points to technology in moving the county forward. "It is critically important to make Suffolk County thrive and to effectively streamline the process and make the county more efficient. Also, the eyes of the world are going to be on Brookhaven National Lab and the massive development of the ion collider; there's so much opportunity and in Suffolk County, we need to do much better with

job creation. and also make sure small businesses thrive and new businesses are created."

Calone addressed opioid addiction and substance abuse: " Opiod and drug addiction have affected so many families, and we have to be cracking down with our law enforcement partners. I'd like us to work with the community college and other local universities to provide more counselors," Calone explained. "We have a unique opportunity where we're getting a lot of money for opioid and drug addiction, so we should be building the right work force and the right kind of counseling to help these people."

Calone said he will put a "major focus" to make sure Suffolk County Police Deparrment has the training and tools to fight and prevent crime. "It is critically important that they have adequate instruments in technology, and we do need more funding in the right ways such as mental health professionals working with the Suffolk County

Police Department to deescalate certain situations," Calone said.

Calone said he is also looking forward to working with all factions of the county to shape Suffolk over the next ten years. "This election is not about left or right, but how we move Suffolk County forward over the next decade through common sense problem solving," he stated.

Confident in the campaign, and reporting he has $1.5 million more in his coffers than his Republican opponent Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine, Calone said: "We're doing a great job. Most important and what matters most is the public's safety, opportunity to build businesses and make Suffolk thrive, the creation of good paying jobs, and affordability of housing for people to live and work in Suffolk County. Labor unions and training people for these good jobs are going to be very important moving forward."

Calone is a graduate of Port Jefferson High School, Princeton University, and Harvard Law School.

Democrats Select Candidates in Suffolk Legislative Races

By Barbara LaMonica

The Democrat ticket for Suffolk County Legislature includes former Riverhead Town Councilwoman Catherine Kent in the 1st LD; Southampton Town Councilwoman in the 2nd LD; Trina Miles in the 3rd LD; Tim Hall in the 4th LD; former Suffolk Legislator and former NYS Assemblyman Steve Englebright; Legislator Sarah Anker's Chief of Staff Dorothy Cavalier in the 6th LD; AME Chief of Staff Ryan McGarry in the 7th LD.

In an effort to return to the 5th LD, 52 year Setauket resident Steve Englebright said in an interview last weekend that it's like "coming home again." Englebright first won election to the County Legislature in November 1983. He took office in January 1984 where he served consecutively until he won a special election to the New York State Assembly in 1992. Under the term limit law, if elected in November, Englebright can serve up to 12 years inclusive of his prior tenure in the county seat. Speaking to his intent to continue public service, Englebright said: "The issues I've worked on are still very much before us, those being quality of life, keeping property taxes low, and protection of the environment and our drinking water - all of which determine the fate of our wellbeing. My background as a geologist and teacher give me credibility and unique experience to continue serving the people of Suffolk County," Englebright explained.

"As a Suffolk County legislator, I spearheaded the Suffolk County Open Space Program during my first 5 terms. Moving forward, Englebright continued," there is a list of the best of the rest of remaining open space in the Pine Barrens so ths task is not completed."

Englebright notes that efforts to rescind a portion of an 1,800 acre parcel of Hither Hills/Hither Woods in Montauk for purposes of developing a sewage treatment plant should be halted.

Additionally, Engelbright said he stands firm on his record to get illegally-acquired guns taken out of hands of those in whose possession they are, and also returning discretion back to judges to determine bail consequences.

While he is confident about this election, Englebright is quick to say he takes nothing for granted. "I want to earn the voters' trust to serve them in the County Legislature," Englebright said. "My County record is exemplary; through my initiatives, we have nearly quadrupled the size of County parkland from 12,000 acres to 50,000 acres, and as a result, we have become the largest county park system in the nation," Englebright stated. "I have spearheaded the effort to define watersheds to conceptualize that by protecting the land, we're also protecting our drinking water of which we only have a finite source. So I am looking forward to 'coming home'," Englebright said.

In pursuit of the 6th LD is current Suffolk Legislator Sarah Anker's Chief of Staff, Dorothy Cavalier, of Mount Sinai. Anker will be term limited on December 31. Cavalier is intimately familiar with the operations of the job. "My experience and familiarity make me well suited for the responsibilities where my top priorities will be public safety and making sure thd public feels safe, and to keep within county guidelines to keep affordable housing so that people don't move away because they can't afford to live here," Cavalier explained. "I also want to help make it affordable

for our senior citizens to stay here because they're so much a part of our history."

The environment and the economy are also high on Cavalier's pyramid of priorities: "Keeping the line on finances to help local businesses both sustain and thrive, and working with Sea Grant addressing erosion issues and long term sustainable ways not to lose our coastline, especially on our North Shore are very important," she noted. Cavalier said she is looking forward to working with all 9 civic organizations within the 6th LD and also continuing the community concerts. Cavaliere asserts it is her knowledge, experience and assisting Anker and her staff on addressing a myriad of constituent issues that make her best poised to win the election in November.

In the 7th LD, Suffolk County AME Chief of Staff Ryan McGarry is seeking election. His record of community service includes five years as a volunteer firefighter with Patchogue Fire Department's Van Guard Hose Company. McGarry currently sits on the Patchogue Village Board of Zoning Appeals, and previously served on the Patchogue Village Community

Development Agency Board.

Asked why he is running for election to the County Legislature, McGarry stated: "I'm excited and enthusiastic because I've spent nearly 20 years working for county, regional or areas adjacent to government and I want to bring two decades of experience behind the scenes to the front. We're seeing tensions rise and increasingly devisive communities, neighbor versus neighbor -.it's time to not just complain, but to do something about it."

McGarry said he wants to work to bring more economic opportunities to other communities within the 7th LD, using Patchogue's growth as the model, while recognizing each community's character and needs are unique. "Patchogue is the shining example of revitalization, and other communities need the same attention for a strong infrastructure, transportation and our waterways." McGarry said it will be paramount to keep jobs local. "I want to create a framework for the private sector economy that creates short and long term jobs."

From a fiscal standpoint, McGarry stated: "I give credit to Steve Bellone for increasing our bond rating.

It does make me nervous to see the current majority attacking revenues." McGarry pointed to the red light cameras as an example: "I'm not saying I support the cameras, but I would like to see how we would offset that revenue before removing the cameras. We have to be more creative with revenue streams." McGarry continued, "We also have to do all we can to get money for unfunded mandates."

McGarry talked about the campaign trail in his pursuit of victory. "I want to commit myself to working with all of the communities within the 7th district. We are definitely focused on our vision for the 7th LD, and I have the experience to best represent the people. We're taking nothing for granted," McGarry pointed out. "This is a very tight, evenly distributed, purple district. I am the best candidate for the job, and coordinating our campaign with Dave Calone for County Executive, we're not setting up to fail; we'll be the party for victory."

In the 2nd LD, incumbent Bridget Fleming is not seeking re-election and is endorsing 6 year Southampton Town Board Trustee Ann Welker to run for the legislature. Welker is the first woman elected to the Southampton Town Board since its inception in 1686. Welker said in a prepared statement, "As a Southampton trustee, I'm proud of my record of maintaining and protecting water quality, preserving public access to the water, and working with the town board on coastal related issues. I'm excited to take that experience to the Suffolk County Legislature to continue fighting for residents of the South Fork," she said.

Kent, Miles and Hall could not be reached for comment.

TOWN

By Barbara LaMonica

Democrats Select Supervisor and Town-wide Candidates

The Democrat slate of candidates is on the campaign trail in pursuit of winning seats on the Brookhaven Town Board in the November elections.

Topping the ticket for supervisor is Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant. Elected in 2009 and just announcing her intent to retire from the village board earlier in February, Garant is the longest serving mayor in the village's history. Under Garant's administration, Port Jefferson underwent large scale smart development projects along Port Jefferson Harbor, and facelifts further south near the railroad station that turned the village into a premiere community and vacation destination. Garant struck a balance with preseving open space of the last remaining tract of undeveloped land in Six Acre Park.

As Garant pursues election to the supervisor's seat against 6th District Councilman Dan Panico, she has set an aggressive agenda to move the town forward. "As mayor and CEO for 14 years, and with Ed (Romaine) now running for county executive, this is an exciting opportunity for me to address issues on a much larger scale townwide, and I'm perfectly qualified to take those accomplishments and apply them townwide," Garant explained. "We've got great highlights on the North Shore and the South Shore, but there are still significant issues that impact us in the town.

Garant points to the town landfill as a high priority issue. "For example, there's very little if any plan that we're aware of for the landfill and waste management." With the landfill set to close in 2024, huge fiscal implications hang in the balance as Garant notes: "The landfill is 47% of the tax base, and if it closes in 2024, what's the plan?"

Garant continued: "I've been doing my homework - there has to be meetings with the DEC. I'm excited about the challenge of addressing the landfill, creating more affordable housing and jobs, and taking the blighted Computer Associates property and Dowling, and redeveloping them to bring commerce back," she said. "A wholistic approach impacts us on so many different levels."

Asked what makes her the better candidate over Panico, Garant told South Shore Press: "He hasn't walked in the supervisor's shoes, whereas I've been CEO (of the Village of Port Jefferson), for 14 years with a proven track record. From a

fiscal standpoint, Garant said she took the helm of the village whose budget was negative $300,000 to a $13 million plus budget and a $1.8 million surplus today, taking some of that surplus and reinvesting it into the municipality's brick mortar.

In Council District 1, Democrat incumbent Jonathan Kornreich is seeking re-election to a full four year term after winning a special election in 2021. Kornreich cites his private sector small business and entrepreneurship experience as an asset in moving the town forward. He is most proud of the Train Car Park which features a fenced performance stage, playground, expanded parking lot and new signage with a walking trail on tap situated at the corner of Routes 112 and 347. "This park is a central point of pride for Port Jefferson Station," Kornreich said.

Kornreich brings fiscal experience to the town board having served on the Three Village School Board with a $230 million budget and chair of the Audit & Finance Committee. He served as president of the Three Village Civic Association, and worked closely with Assemblyman Steve Englebright and the Historical Society on environmentally sensitive water and parklands. Land use, environmental protection, and management of historic resources are priorities for the councilman.

"I am a full time councilman because this district deserves and needs a full time representative and I love my job and attending meeting and events. In this job, you have got to show up." Kornreich and his family make Stony Brook their home.

In Council District 3, Alyson.E. Bass is the Democrat nominee. She is a lawyer in the county attorney's office. Asked why she us running, Bass said: "I was always interested in local politics and looking for ways to grow and help people." Bass said there are "a lot of pressing issues" she would like to resolve. "The dump is going to have a fiscal impact, the roads are in bad need of repair, and we have traffic pattern and traffic volume issues, and roite 97, 25 and Portion Road can be nightmares which impacts commuting times."

She works closely with Gordon Heights Chamber of Commerce, and sits on the Suffolk County Region PTA's Arts in Education Committee. Bass is presidentelect of the Long Island Black Bar Association.

Cameron Trent is the Democrat nominee for the 4th Council District. Trent is running against Republican incumbent Michael

Loguercio. He works in the Town of Babylon Supervisor's Office in the Citizens Services Section. He previously worked as an aide for former Suffolk County Legislator Rob Calarco addressing constituent issues. The top reason Trent says he is running is to provide better representation for constitients. "Basically, we in the 4th Council District are in desparate need of a council representative who is visible, present and who can provide the constituents with the respresentation they deserve-not just someone who comes out at election time," Trent said.

Asked whether he will serve as a full time councilman, Trent stated; "I will be a full time councilman and beyond. The Republican we have now is MIA, and it's very frustrating," Trent added. "I'll work to forge bonds and relationships, and will work very closely with health care first responders, police and law enforcement, and all groups."

Trent pointed out that the landfill is "smack dab in the middle" if the 4th Council District and that his incumbent opponent has not addressed the issues facing its closure in just two years. "The Republican dominated board says the landfill will close but they've done nothing to address the massive budget gap we will face because the 45% plus of revenue generated by the landfill will soon be gone. And," Trent added, "barring any newfound revenue, they'll turn around and get the money from the taxpayers. They've had decided to solve this loss of budget revenues the town is going to lose because of the landfill closing." Trent is a member of the South Country School Board, and supporter of the Bellport Alliance, Boys & Girls Club, and Lighthouse Mission.

Francis J. Salazar is running on the Democrat line in the 5th CD against GOP incumbent

where to make up the funds when the landfill closes, because there is no economic plan," she said.

Dr. Spooner said she wants "accountability and solutions" from the seated town board. "This (Republican) party may have had control for a long time, but they've become cocky and they're taking people and power for granted," she said. "New voices and ideas will be very welcome." Dr. Spooner resides in the 6th CD with her husband and their 9 year old son.

Neil Foley. Assistant Principal of Copiage Middle School, Salazar resides in Patchogue Village with his wife and two children. He is a member of the PatchogueMedford School Board. Salazar said he's running as an extension of his career he has built helping children, people and his community.

One of several reasons Salazar cites for seeking election is the landfill's shelf life nearing its end. "The landfill closing is going to cause an impact on taxes, so we have to work with all stakeholders collaboratively to move past this," Salazar said.

Salazar compared and contrasted his ability to fill the seat over his opponent: "I do feel like I can do a better job because I can work collaboratively to build relationships and build problems, and because for a long time on many issues, they've kicked the can down the road, and have done nothing."

Kerry Spooner, Ph. D. is the Democrat candidate in the 6th CD. Dr. Spooner worked in higher education at SUNY Stony Brook and SCCC for 20 years before founding the not-forprofit Sound Justice Initiative in 2019. She presently teaches in the Suffolk County Jail and assists the formerly incarcerated no reentry into their comnunities. Dr. Spooner says she is running for election in the 6th CD for greater accountability. "Our elected officials make consequential decisions without the people being heard. They talk about zombie houses, yet we still see them in Shirley and Mastic." Dr. Spooner asserts there should be redevelopment of blighted properties into much need affordable housing. She says she is concerned about how the shortfall of funding will be made up when the landfill closes. "We need to begin serious discussion about where the trash goes and

Michael D. Kaplan is the Democrat candidate looking to unseat Republican incumbent Daniel Losquadro in the race for Highway Superintendent. Kaplan comes to the table with 25 years of town highway experience and 10 years service in the Army having served in two combat zones. Most recently, he retired from the Town of Huntington Highway Department where he served as Project Supervisor working directly for the Superintendent of Highways. He previously worked in the Town of Islip's Highway Department. "I'm running because there's a break in trust between the Highway Department and the residents for a myriad of reasons," Kaplan said, "and I'm going to rebuild that trust between Highway and residents by having an open door policy and establishing a 36 hour response time for residents when they put a call in to the department" Kaplan said. A number of issues affecting town roads were noted during the interview. Kaplan said the absence of a comprehensive sweeping program and drainage study are costing the town money. "Roadsweeping and draining of the catch basins are integral, or else the salt and sand will end up in drains," he explained. "There's a drainage project in Setauket that's now taking 6 weeks and it's still not complete, and it's embarrassing."

Kaplan said sleet precipitation earlier in March turned the intersection of Middle Country Road and 25A into a sheet of ice. "When I passed the Highway Department at 6 a.m. that morning they looked like they were closed, but surrounding. towns were called in at 1 a.m. to treat their roads." Kaplan said he was sure the Highway employees are doing their jobs: "I'm sure they're hard workers but they are understaffed, and the department is very mismanage," Kaplan said.

Kaplan said he is running an active campaign and is up for the challenge in his pursuit of election to the Highway Department.

Stage Set for Panico’s Supervisor Challenge

By Robert Chartuck

Big changes are on tap for local government as Brookhaven’s political parties have selected their candidates for the town board in a November election made even more noteworthy with the departure of Supervisor Edward Romaine, who will lead the GOP ticket as a candidate for Suffolk County executive.

Running to replace him is Daniel Panico, 44, the district six councilman who also serves as Romaine’s deputy supervisor. In accepting the nomination, Panico pledged to continue his focus on quality of life issues and the environment, keeping the town under the state-mandated tax cap, and maintaining Brookhaven’s Triple A credit rating.

“Dan Panico has the vision and experience to lead Brookhaven forward and face the challenges ahead,” said Jesse Garcia, chairman of both the county and town Republican Committees, at the party’s convention Thursday in Ronkonkoma. “As a member of the town board, he has time and again been a leader in introducing critical initiatives on behalf of our residents.”

As councilman, Panico is credited with helping spearhead the most aggressive crackdown on illegal housing and blighted structures in the history of Brookhaven with the removal of more than 400 zombie homes and legal action against absentee landlords. He

authored landmark legislation such as a town tax cap, anti-nepotism law and sweeping ethics reforms, according to Garcia, and has been a pioneer in the areas of land use, zoning and planning, preventing overdevelopment and preserving open space, while promoting economic development of local businesses.

Prior to serving on the town council, Panico was a member of the Brookhaven Planning Board and served as senior deputy county clerk, where he worked to make Suffolk one of the first counties in New York to implement an electronic document filing system. He is a graduate of William Floyd High School and received a Bachelor’s Degree in History and Political Science from Stony Brook University, as well as a law degree from Touro Law School. The candidate lives in Center

Moriches with his wife Deanna and their children, Grant and Brooke. If elected, Panico will join Romaine and four other town supervisors from Center Moriches: August Stout, Claude Neville, Percy Raynor and John Havens.

Panico was close friends with Councilman Keith Romaine, son of the current supervisor, and was tapped by the GOP to fill his seat when he unexpectedly passed away in 2010. Since then, Romaine has dedicated his government career to his son who was following in his father’s public service footsteps, a path on which Panico is now following.

With Panico stepping up, the Republicans have selected Karen Dunn, a former town planning board member and Eastport-South Manor Board of Education trustee, who is also the president of the

WFHS Junior Kayla Gilmore Passes 1,000-Point Career Milestone

William Floyd High School junior Kayla Gilmore eclipsed the 1,000-point mark during the last game of the girls’ varsity basketball team regular season, a 48-27 win over Riverhead to clinch the league title. This effort brought Kayla’s career total to 1,002 points, making her the fourth girls’ basketball player to achieve this feat.

“I am so proud of Kayla,” said Rich Sinclair, head coach of the girls’ varsity basketball team. “She has done so much to help turn our basketball program into one of the best in Suffolk County and I am so happy for her to reach this milestone.”

Coach Sinclair emphasized the accomplishment by highlighting that she passed 1,000 points in only her junior year, which included a pandemicshortened freshman season.

Kayla joins Melissa (D’Amico) Graves, William Floyd High School Class

of 2004, who scored 1,185 points during her career.

Melissa played basketball at Notre Dame and is currently the head coach of the Boston University women’s basketball team. Also making this list of elite athletes is Monique Walker, William Floyd High School Class of 2011, who played at NYIT on a basketball scholarship; and Dominique Johnson, William Floyd High

School Class of 2008, who played at Dowling College on a basketball scholarship.

Kayla attended William Floyd schools K-12 including Tangier Smith Elementary School, Moriches Elementary School and William Floyd Middle School. She has committed to the University of Maryland after graduation on a lacrosse scholarship.

Congratulations, Kayla!

Manorville Chamber of Commerce, to vie for his seat. With a large portion of the district encompassed by Mastic-Shirley and the Moriches Bay Area, Dunn’s selection ruffled the feathers of some GOP faithful who preferred someone hailing from the South Shore. Potential candidates complained that they weren’t notified of Dunn’s nomination until the night of the convention and said her selection was engineered by Panico, who preferred her over other hopefuls.

Panico’s commitment to environment preservation mirrors that of Romaine who has made the future of waste management on Long Island a top priority. The town currently ships its garbage to be incinerated in Westbury in exchange for handling the resulting ash at the Yaphank Landfill. Brookhaven’s next supervisor will have to grapple with the eventual closure of the facility and the costs of handling the town’s waste. Also on the agenda will be expanding sewer capacity and the protection of the town’s water resources such as Forge River, which has been severely degraded over the years by pollution.

Panico supports the Southern Mastic Beach Ecological Restoration Project and the Forge Road Dam fish and eel passage connecting the Peconic River to Peconic Lake. He’s been a driving force behind the preservation of hundreds of acres of farmland and open space and is a key player in the redevelopment of Mastic Beach’s Neighborhood Road.

Another success has been leveraging the town’s purchasing power to allow an average National Grid customer to save about $100 annually.

Panico has been outspoken in urging state officials to better protect children by cracking down on peddlers selling THC candies in counterfeit packaging and oppose a 47 percent payroll tax hike to bail out the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. These and other issues are reported on the councilman’s Facebook page which he updates frequently as a way to communicate with town residents.

Serving as councilman, Panico was recognized by the Long Island Business News as a rising star at their prestigious “40 under 40” Annual Awards Gala, and was nominated for Stony Brook University’s "40 under 40 Award" as well. He’s received William Floyd School District’s Distinguished Alumni Award and was honored by the New York State Grand Lodge Foundation, Order of the Ancient Sons and Daughters of Italy in America, receiving their highest honor the Golden Lion.

“With Ed Romaine at the top of the county ticket, Dan Panico leading the slate in Brookhaven and a full ballot of experienced and proven professionals, I’m confident that our Republican candidates are ready to continue to hold the line on taxes, improve the quality of life for our residents and make our communities safer for our families,” Garcia concluded.

The Role of Our Town Elected Officials

Changes are on tap for the Brookhaven Town Board with the November election bringing renewed interest in the role the council members and supervisor play in local government and how their actions impact the lives of the citizenry.

With Supervisor Edward Romaine running for county executive and Councilman Daniel Panico, who also serves as deputy supervisor, running to replace him, changes will take place at the very top. November will also bring a new face to the town’s Third Council District now vacant with the election of Kevin LaValle as town clerk.

The town board, made up of the supervisor and representatives of Brookhaven’s six Councilmatic Districts, votes each year on the town budget and sets the amount of property taxes homeowners and businesses must pay. They are responsible for approving labor contracts and hiring personnel such as commissioners of the town’s various departments. With an annual budget ranging over $300 million, including allocations for the highway department, town taxes make up only a fraction of the local tax bill with school taxes, police, and other jurisdictions such fire and lighting districts making up the lion’s share.

A critical function of the town board is zoning and land use decisions. The elected officers of Brookhaven have a lot to say about how the town is developed and what can be built and where. They conduct hearings on development projects and look to strike a balance between the needs of the community and the rights of property owners.

Acting as Town Trustees, the board controls building along the town’s waterways and wetland areas. This power extends back to the Dongan Patent, a 1686 decree by the New York governor that created the rights and responsibilities of town government. The original document is on display

at Brookhaven Town Hall located on Independence Hill in Farmingville. It shows the price offered in exchange for the Patent: "20 barrells of whale oyle to be delivered in New York at 20 shillings per barrell, 19 barrells to be delivered at the South beach at 20 shillings per barrell and three score and twelve pounds to be paid in good Cowes and Calbes at forty shillings each, to the Treasurer at or before the fifteenth day of April next."

Brookhaven’s rich history is also depicted on the town flag which features whaling harpoons and the letter "D," a designation assigned under Governor Richard Nicolls in 1665 and was used as a cattle

earmark.

Another key responsibility of the board is making sure residential garbage and recyclables are picked up and the Yaphank landfill is properly managed. With the Horseblock Road facility slated for closure, the town’s elected officers spend considerable effort on the future of the municipality’s solid waste management needs.

Among the departments the town board oversees is Parks, Recreation and Sports, and Cultural Resources, which plays an important role in the quality of life enjoyed by Brookhaven residents. Through the parks department, the board is responsible for the dozens of beaches, fields, parks, pools, marinas and other public facilities, as well as various sports and recreation programs, especially during the summer months.

Other town board oversight covers the Animal Shelter, Assessor, Building Department, Fire Prevention, Housing and Community Development, Planning and Environmental, and Public Safety. They also oversee a number of committees and task forces made up of community representatives involved with Agriculture; Anti-Bias; Arts and Humanities; Asian American, Black History, Native Hawaiian,

Republicans Select Candidates for Town Races

By Robert Chartuck

With Supervisor Edward Romaine running for county executive and Councilman Dan Panico slated by the Republican and Conservative parties to replace him, big changes are in store for the Brookhaven Town Board.

Panico will lead a ticket including three town board incumbents and two new faces as voters will be asked to vote on candidates for fouryear terms. Vacancies include the seat formerly held by Councilman Kevin LaValle who gave up his position for a successful town clerk run. Town government veterans Daniel Losquadro, the highway superintendent, and Receiver of Taxes Louis Marcoccia will also headline the ballot.

Running with Panico will be town board incumbents Jane Bonner in the second district, Michael Loguercio in the fourth, and Neil Foley in the fifth. Bonner has served as a Rocky Point School Board Member, civic association president, and aide for Losquadro when he served as a county legislator. First elected in 2007, the Rocky Point resident is the town council’s longest-serving official.

Loguercio, a 45-year resident of Ridge, started with the council in 2015. He has over 40 years of experience as a state-licensed insurance broker and insurance technology expert, and was also

a journalist for an insurance trade publication where he wrote a bi-weekly column on risk management.

Foley, a former member of the town Board of Zoning Appeals, came into office in a special election in 2014. A New York Cancer & Blood Specialist senior vice president, he is active with the Patchogue Medford Youth Organization and the Bayport Blue Point Little League.

With Panico giving up his seat to run for supervisor, former town planning board member and Eastport-South Manor Board of Education trustee Karen Dunn, an attorney, is stepping up to succeed him. A Manorville resident since 1990, Dunn has served as either president or vice president of the school board over the course of 11 years that saw the merger of the Eastport School District with South Manor and the opening of the Eastport South Manor Junior Senior High School. The mother of four children currently serves as president of the Manorville Chamber of Commerce and has been chairperson of the legislative committee seeking state aid for her school district. Karen served on the board of directors of the nonprofit Aid to the Developmentally Disabled Inc.

Nominated by the GOP to fill LaValle’s third district seat was Deputy Town Assessor Neil

Manzella, 36, of Selden. The William Floyd graduate is the son of town GOP Vice Chair Betty Manzella, who also serves as a county Board of Elections commissioner. He is a former IT professional who’s worked in local school districts and the BOE. He is married with two boys.

Looking to knock off the board’s lone Democrat, Jonathan Kornreich, in the first district is Gary Bodenburg, 42, a special education teacher in the South Huntington School District who lives in Port Jefferson Station with his family. The former Selden resident holds a Bachelor’s Degree in education from St. Joseph’s College, an Administration Masters from Stony Brook and a Doctorate from St. John’s University in Educational Leadership and Supervision. He

Pacific Islander, and Hispanic interests; Business; Disabilities; Drug Prevention; Historic Districts; Open Space; Port Jefferson Harbor; Senior Citizens; Women; and Youth. The town board also has jurisdiction over a number of boards including Accessory Apartment Review, Assessment Review, Ethics, Planning, and Zoning Appeals. For more information on the many functions of the town, visit www. brookhavenny.gov.

As elected officials who have to face the voters every four years, the councilmembers and supervisor manage staffs that focus on constituent services. Residents can reach them at their individual offices and are encouraged to attend town board meetings and hearings where they will have an opportunity to make their voices heard. Town meetings are streamed through a video portal found at the town’s website and residents can call 631-451-TOWN to make town officials aware of any issues in their neighborhoods.

Brookhaven’s town board members serve alongside the elected town clerk, highway superintendent, and receiver of taxes, each with specific roles and responsibilities in serving the public.

also served as an assistant principal with the Western Suffolk BOCES.

First elected to the highway seat in 2015, Losquadro will stand for re-election as a former legislator and member of the state Assembly covering northeastern Brookhaven. The Shoreham resident has been credited with establishing a comprehensive road resurfacing and drainage plan which is on track to repave every Brookhaven street at least every 15 years. He is a graduate of the State University of New York at Stony Brook having earned a B.A. degree in history. For nearly a decade before taking office, he worked as a senior property claims estimator for State Farm Insurance. He is a graduate of Shoreham-Wading River High School.

“Dan Losquadro has professionalized the Brookhaven Highway Department, thanks to his leadership and experience in the New York State Assembly and Suffolk County Legislature,” said Jesse Garcia, the county and town GOP leader. “He has created efficiencies and implemented much-needed improvements while holding the line on taxes, ensuring that Brookhaven’s 3,200 miles of roadways are second to none.”

Also running townwide will be Marcoccia, a former businessman and nationally recognized expert in the technology field who lives with his family in East Setauket. Rounding out the town slate is Steve Weissbard, 59, a Stony Brook attorney running for Sixth District Court judge. He has served with the Family Court, Suffolk County Attorney’s Office, and Suffolk Legal Aid Society.

The GOP candidates are running with Conservative Party backing and are seeking four-year terms.

“With Ed Romaine at the top of the county ticket, Dan Panico leading the slate in Brookhaven and a full ballot of experienced and proven professionals, I’m confident that our Republican candidates are ready to continue to hold the line on taxes, improve the quality of life for our residents and make our communities safer for our families,” Garcia concluded.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP

BY KARL GROSSMAN

Dealing with the massive September 8th cyberattack on the computer system of Suffolk County government is still a work in progress, according to county legal notices published last month.

The hacking of the county system included the exposure of personal information about a large number of people—including the driver’s license numbers of 470,000 individuals issued moving violations by Suffolk County Police between 2013 and 2022—as well as 26,000 Social Security numbers of county government employees and retirees.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone held a press conference on February 17th at which he said the main website of Suffolk government, offline for almost six months, had been returned to service along with other county government online functions.

Declared Bellone: “Suffolk is back online.”

But, said County Comptroller John M. Kennedy, Jr., in an interview last week: “Everything is not wonderful.” Kennedy said: “We’re still playing catch-up ball.” And among other county online services, its “vendor self-service” function is “still not up.”

Published as county legal notices, meanwhile, on February 15th was a “Proclamation of A Local State of Emergency”—and “Local Emergency

Dealing with the Cyberattack -- a Work in Progress

Orders”—all part of a series of such proclamations and orders Bellone has issued since shortly after the cyberattack.

The “Proclamation of A Local State of Emergency” begins: “A State of Emergency is hereby proclaimed to continue in Suffolk County, New York, for a period of time beginning at 2:00 p.m. on February 8, 2023 and continuing in effect for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days.” It goes on: “A State of Emergency has been declared due to emergency conditions caused by a cyber security event in the County resulting in an inability to access emails, internet and other web-based applications. Such conditions imperil the public safety of the residents of the County of Suffolk.”

“As Chief Executive of Suffolk County, I, Steve Bellone, have exercised the authority given to me under New York State Executive Law, Article 2B, to preserve the public safety and hereby render all required and available assistance vital to the security, health and property of the citizens of the community.” The proclamation is dated February 8th.

One order states: “In accordance with a Proclamation of a State of Emergency issued on September 11, 2022, and continued on October 11, 2022, November 10, 2022, December 20, 2022 and January 9, 2023…to use any and all facilities,

equipment, supplies, personnel and other resources of the County in such manner as may be necessary or appropriate to cope with the local emergency caused by the recent cyberattack,” the county executive directs “the temporary reassignment of all information technology employees in the Suffolk County Clerk’s office to the Department of Information Technology, so as to enable the County to have a cohesive and successful cybersecurity incident response under the leadership of one team.” It is dated February 4th.

Another order is titled: “Extending the date for the submission of the County’s Multi-Year Financial Plan.” That plan is supposed to be submitted “no later than 60 days” after the county

budget is adopted, it is noted. It is dated February 7th.

And another is titled: “Ordering the suppression of local procurement laws, rules and regulations.” It says “the following procurement-related regulations and rules are suspended as I deem necessary to expedite procurement of anything related to technology resolving the cybersecurity event and procurement that is otherwise dependent on County technology and cannot be purposed until the event is resolved.” It is dated February 8th.

A special committee of the Suffolk County Legislature has been investigating the cyberattack. Kevin McCaffrey, presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature, in

December announced the formation of the six-legislator bipartisan panel. It is chaired by Anthony Piccirillo of Holtsville. “The best disinfectant is sunlight,” Piccirillo said following the committee’s establishment. “We’re going to open the windows and let that sun in here to shine and make sure that we get the truth.”

Meanwhile, there are several law enforcement agencies investigating the cyberattack. It has been attributed to an entity calling itself APLPHV or BlackCat that demanded a $2.5 million ransom which the county did not pay.

Among the areas the legislative committee is looking into are the Bellone administration’s actions before the cyberattack. Comptroller Kennedy faults the Bellone administration for, among other things, not fully installing a firewall called WildFire which the county purchased for $1 million from California-based Palo Alto Networks. The county’s Department of Information Technology “didn’t know how to do it,” said Kennedy.

Presiding Officer McCaffrey told The New York Times—which ran a full-page spread in November on the Suffolk cyberattack—“They’ve tried to characterize this as just yet another kind of catastrophe they had to confront, not unlike Hurricane Sandy or even Covid. Hurricane Sandy and Covid were acts of nature. This is a failure to go ahead and be proactive.”

Notary Changes Come to New York

A: My friend who lives out of state keeps a notary log of everything that she notarizes. I am a notary in New York. Does this apply to me?

New York recently passed legislation that includes significant changes to the rules governing notarization. The most exciting change is that New York finally is allowing electronic notarization. The new law also comes with stricter recordkeeping for traditional in-person notarization.

During the height of pandemic, Governor Cuomo signed an Emergency Order allowing temporary remote notarization. This emergency measure was recently made permanent to allow remote notary services, but with more oversight. The new law requires that every notary register with the Department of State to become authorized to provide remote notary. After registering, the notary must use software that complies with DOS regulations. A notary may perform electronic notarizations so long as the notary public is physically located within New York state. The signer can

be anywhere in the world, so long as there is a nexus with the United States. The notary must identify the remote signer through one of the following methods:

(1) personal knowledge of the signer;

(2) by means of communication technology that allows the remote signer to present an official, acceptable form of ID; or

(3) oath or affirmation of a witness who knows the signer and whose identification is similarly established via communication technology.

Additionally, the notary must be able to see and interact, in real-time, with the remote signer through audio-visual communication technology. The notary must retain the audio-visual recording of the electronic notarization for at least 10 years.

Another significant change of the law is the new record keeping requirements for all notaries,

including traditional in-person services. All notaries must now keep a journal of all notarial acts for a least of ten years. They must be able to produce the journal to the Secretary of State and others as necessary. For each notarial act the

notary must keep a record of the following information:

1. The date, time, and type of notarial act performed;

2. The name and address of the signer;

3. The number and type of notarial services provided;

4. The type of credential used to identify the signer (and, if applicable, the names of any witnesses and type of credential used to identify them); and

5. The verification procedures used for any personal appearance before the notary public.

Unlike the coronavirus executive order, remote witnessing is not allowed under the new law. Although some estate planning documents can be done remotely under the new law, others still require witnesses.

The NFL's free agency begins on March 15th, but teams can start talking to players as of March 13th. That means the Jets have to set their sights on who their new QB will be now, and hope things work out for them over the next two weeks. New Yorkers are torn between giving up a ton of draft capital, and salary to obtain an all time great in Aaron Rodgers or going after the productive Derek Carr for much less. And if both fail, will the Jets be able to land their backup plan, to a backup plan, in Jimmy G?

When Aaron Rodgers emerged from his 'dark retreat' the odds of Rodgers returning to the Jets were +150, the second best odds on the board after the Las Vegas Raiders, but before

his current team the Packers, who landed at +250.

Derek Carr meanwhile is the odds on favorite to land with the Jets at -200. In fact, the Jets are such large favorites that the odds have jumped to -300 in some spots.

Jets fans seem torn on the subject. Sure, they want a new QB and relax Gang Green, you'll be getting one. But who? Rodgers has proven he is an elite signal caller, but his resume isn't the question. It's his age, personality, selling the future for the now mindset, and cost that throw everyone off. Derek Carr might not be the player every Jets fan is drooling over, but he might make the most sense. And don't worry New York, there's always Jimmy G.

ON THE SEA

BY VINCENT PICA, COMMODORE

If I told you that statistics on boats sinking showed that the dock is four times more dangerous than the open waters, you might tell me to check my calculator, amongst other things. But study after study show that four times as many boats sink at the dock than under way! Why is that?

Real Time Reactions

Well, candidly, there are lies, damn lies and statistics. If you are underway and you see water coming up from below, you are going to do something about it right away. Thus, the underway problems are going to be dealt with in real time and the odds are way in your favor that you can save the vessel, even if you have to drive her on to the beach to do so. But why do so many boats sink at their docks? Why didn’t the bilge pump save her, to start with?

Many people believe “big boat, big bilge pump. Little boat, little bilge pump.” Wrong! Big boat, LOTS of bilge pumps. Little boat, BIG bilge pump. You need to get the water OUT of your 17’ Seahunt as fast as possible. 500 gallons per minute isn’t half

as good as 1,000 GPM. It is less than half as good because, once she goes down, no bilge pump can re-float her. And experts estimate that it costs 40% of the original value of the boat to rewire her and restore the engine. Oh, and throw out the radio, GPS and fish finder. So, your $20,000 17’ Seahunt will cost you as much as $8,000 to repair/ restore versus the $200 1,000 GPM bilge pump. Is she worth that much today?

Buying Time

And remember, bilge pumps don’t save boats. They buy you time. Time from what? Well, again, the statistics say that boats sink at the dock for 2 major reasons. Half the time, a thru-hull fitting gives up the ghost and water eventually overwhelms the battery/bilge pump arrangement. So, check the thru-hulls with every lay-up. And check the screws around them. If the screws “rot*” away, it is another source of water to enter that isn’t so obvious. But it will add up.

The second most common source of sinking at the dock is snow and rain (30%). I had

PERCEPTION

BY DAN GRANITE

Current census data is showing a mass exodus of New York residents from the State. Last year the Empire State led the country in declining population numbers. Governor Kathy Hochul attributes this loss to the rising costs of housing. No one cany deny that housing costs are spiraling out of control. However one must ask why our Governor neglects to mention other contributing factors.

Hochul conveniently ignores the fact that New Yorkers bear the highest tax burden in the country. She looks away from the deteriorating quality of education in our public schools. And she totally overlooks the impact of crime rampant on our streets, in our neighborhoods, and throughout public transportation.

During the last month there has been a spree of thieves on mopeds stealing expensive Apple headphones off the heads of pedestrians on Manhattan streets. According to police, 21 incidents have been reported with the average value of the headphones stolen $500.

The Dangerous Dock

I can not understand how Governor Hochul can be oblivious to the negative factors of taxes, education, and crime and why the only cause she can point to for New York’s population decline is the cost of housing.

It may be because she and the State Legislature have acerbated the problem of the exodus by easing the criminal justice laws and methodically raising taxes.

one happen to one of my boats because the self-bailing scuppers clogged from leaves. Rain followed – and followed – and followed – until I had a submarine. Also, many skippers believe that biminis and canvas covers prevent water from entering the boat. Wrong again. They slow it but don’t stop it. In the winter, stow them someplace dry and shrink wrap the boat.

So, over 80% of the boats sink for two reasons – all of which

adds up to checking the boat from time to time. Or paying the dock hand to – or your teenager that wants some extra spending money to go with his or her new driver’s license – but check it. Would you leave a box with $20,000 unattended on your lawn for months at a time?

So, if 4 out of 5 boats sink at the dock, what about that other boat? Well, that is a story for another time – and soon…

* btw, marine screws don’t rot. They get eaten away by electrical charges in the water. This is due to poor “galvanic isolation”. More on that in the weeks ahead!

Where have all the People Gone?

increasing to the detriment of New York’s tax base.

According to a survey taken in New York City, in the years leading up to 2020 the number of people filing taxes earning between $150,000. and $750,000. fell by 6% while the number of households earning more than $750,000 dropped dramatically by 9%. Obviously when wealthy people leave an area there is a loss of revenue from their taxes, their retail spending, and their spending in restaurants and on entertainment. Of course their charitable donations also leave with them.

As far as education is concerned, the State continues to funnel billions of our taxpayer dollars into the schools, while attendance and enrollment drop. Academic achievement steadily delves into mediocrity.

The Governor ignores the facts and adamantly clings to her flimsy contention. “There’s a housing crisis. It’s in New York City. It’s in the suburbs. There has to be some

solution.” She added that, “ten years down the road New York and its suburbs are going to be a place where only millionaires and billionaires can live.”

I believe that although the population exodus affects all income levels, the biggest threat to the finances of New York and the localities lies in the loss of millionaires and billionaires. The loss of wealthy taxpayers keeps

It is apparent that for most of those leaving the Empire State the problem is not the rising cost of housing, especially in the cases of the high earners. If New York State is to ebb the flow of its citizenry, Governor Hochul and the State Legislature need to address the issues of outrageous taxation, violence and crime, and our failing public schools.

VETERANS WAY History of the Seabees

The United States Naval Construction Battalions, better known as the Navy Seabees, form the U.S. Naval Construction Force. The Naval Construction Battalions were conceived of as replacements for the civilian construction companies in combat zones after the attack on Pearl Harbor. At that time civilian contractors had roughly 70,000 men working U.S.N. contracts overseas. Convinced that war was coming, the U.S. Navy realized that fighting theaters halfway around the world require a vast infrastructure. Beginning in 1940, they began a program of building bases on far-flung Pacific islands using civilian contractors. When the United States officially entered the war, the use of civilian labor had to stop. Under International law made it illegal for civilian workers to resist an attack. Doing so would classify them as guerrillas and could lead to summary execution.

On December 28, 1941, Rear Admiral Ben Moreell, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, requested specific authority to activate, organize, and man a unique, very special organization that would support the Navy and Marines in remote locations and defend themselves if attacked

–The Naval Construction Battalions. On January 5, 1942, he was given that authority and the original battalions were formed at a new Naval base in Davisville, Rhode Island, less than two weeks later, on January 17, 1942. It was designated the First Construction Detachment. The 296 men arrived at Bora Bora on February 17, 1942.

On March 5, all Construction Battalion personnel were officially named Seabees by the Navy Department. Admiral Moreell personally furnished them with their motto Construmus Batumius, or We Build, We Fight. A logo the fighting B created.

The Seabees landed on Midway Island on July 1942, and participated in every major amphibious assault in World War II. More than 325,000 men served with the Seabees in World War II, fighting and building more than 400 locations before the war ended.

On June 25, 1950, North Korea attacked South Korea. This civil war was greatly expanded when

the United States, and later China, entered the conflict. In Korea, as in World War II, the “Can Do” spirit shone again. The Seabees were reestablished on August 8, 1951. Landing at Inchon they provided pontoon causeways within hours of the initial assault. The Seabees served side by side with the Marine Corps and the Army, building and defending what

they built.

Beginning in 1955, Seabees began deploying yearly to the continent of Antarctica. As participants in Operation “Deep Freeze,” their mission was to build and expand scientific bases located on the frozen continent. The first “wintering over” party included 200 Seabees who distinguished themselves by constructing a 6,000 foot ice runway on McMurdo Sound. Despite a blizzard that once destroyed the entire project, the airstrip was completed in time for the advance party of De Freeze II to become the first to arrive at the South Pole by plane.

In the Vietnam War the Seabees numbered 10,000 men. In May of 1965 they went across the beach at Chu Lai, Republic of Vietnam. During the peak of the Vietnam conflict, Seabee strength reached 25,000 men in 22 battalions, two regiments, two maintenance units and scores of Civic Action Teams.

OF MEN & ANGELS

BY DOMINICK FORTE

Saints Cyril and Methodius were brothers. They were Byzantine Christian theologians and missionaries. They are known as the “Apostles to the Slavs” due to their evangelizing of the Slavs. Cyril was born c. 827 AD and Methodius was born c. 815—820 AD in Thessalonica, modern day Greece.

In the year 862 AD Prince Rastislav of Great Moravia requested that the Byzantine Emperor Michael III and the Patriarch of Constantinople Photius send the duo on a missionary expedition to the Khazars. These were a semi-nomadic Turkic people that in the late 6th century established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia, southern Ukraine, Crimea, and Kazakhstan. Cyril was sent because he was a scholar who could converse with both Jews and Saracens.

For the purpose of this mission the brothers devised the Glagolitic alphabet, the first to be used for Slavic manuscripts. It was suited to match specific features of the Slavic language. Its descendant was the Cyrillic script which continues to be used in many languages today.

Cyril and Methodius wrote the first Slavic Civil Code which was used in Great Moravia. Founded in 833 AD and dissolved in 906 AD, Great Moravia was the first major predominantly Slavic state to emerge in the area of Central Europe. It included areas which today are part of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, and Ukraine.

The brothers translated the New Testament, the Psalms, and lessons from the Old Testament. Their mission was successful because they used the people’s native language rather than Latin and Greek. However problems arose when they encountered missionaries from the western branch of the Church who insisted on the use of the Latin liturgy.

When friction developed the brothers decided to travel to Rome to see Pope Nicholas I to seek a solution that would avoid quarreling between missionaries in the field. By this time they were embroiled in a dispute with Archbishop Adalwin of Salzburg and Bishop Ermanrich of Passau who claimed ecclesiastical control and wanted Latin used exclusively.

In 867, the brothers sought

support from the new Pope Adrian II who gave Methodius the title Archbishop and jurisdiction over all of Moravia and Pannonia. Very importantly, the Pope authorized him to use the Slavic liturgy. Subsequently Methodius was ordained a priest. With him were ordained five Slavic disciples, three ordained priests and two ordained

deacons. They officiated in their own languages at the altars of some of principal churches.

In 869 feeling his end approaching, Cyril became a Basilian monk and died in Rome fifty days later. In 879 Pope John VIII expanded the jurisdiction of Methodius to include Serbia. The

lives of Cyril and Methodius were filled with controversy, alienation, conflict, and persecution because they opposed the established ecclesiastical order.

In 1880 Pope Leo XIII introduced their feast, February 14th, into the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church.

Real friends are true riches from the Lord, who deeply cherish one another—such as the two friends who do precisely that in this week’s poetic work.

A Gem of Gems— You!

Oh, what joy had come my way as I received from you today a golden locket— your photo inside

and round about it finely inscribed deeply touching words profoundly moving

me— what a treasure of a friend I have in thee!
