TOWN Library Officials Scramble to Cover Construction Cost Overruns

By Robert Chartuk

Unforeseen structural issues are among the problems that have left Mastics Moriches

Shirley Community Library officials scrambling to cover cost overruns they’re projecting to be at least $3 million for the renovation of the main library and new annexes. Other cost increases may come into play as alternates to the original plan are considered, they reported.

When contractors opened the walls at the library’s main facility on William Floyd Parkway, they discovered major deficiencies not anticipated in the original estimates. The elevator shaft was found to be made out of wood and steel beams for the walls and ceiling were not properly installed when the 45,000-square-foot library was first built in the 1980’s, according to Joseph Maiorana, president of the library board of trustees.

Inflation and supply chain issues in the wake of the COVID crisis have also weighed heavily on the construction budget, along with the addition of specialized septic systems to the design of the three facilities and other alternatives added after the original plans were submitted for voter approval. Suffolk County has promised $169,000 in grant monies to offset the cost of the Innovative and Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems, which are expected to minimize nitrogen from entering the area’s groundwater.

“When we first started this, no one had ever heard of COVID,” said Kerri Rosalia, library director. “We were very unlucky to have gone out to bid in the middle of a pandemic.” She estimated that the district’s capital program, which also includes the construction of new satellite branches on Neighborhood Road

in Mastic Beach and Montauk Highway in Shirley, will go over budget by about $3 million due to the structural deficiencies found in the main library and other issues. The projects were expected to be covered though $22.7 million in borrowing approved by voters in a 2019 referendum and $4 million from the library’s reserve fund. About $16.6 million has been spent so far, according to Rosalia.

Both the library director and the trustee president were adamant about not going back to the community for additional borrowing. They’re looking to cut costs through a “value engineering” review by the construction team and additional monies from the library’s reserve fund. “We are scaling back and may have to make some tough decisions,” she said, indicating that space used by the staff would be considered for cuts before any public areas. The director said she will continue to extract savings from the operating budget to offset the capital projects, but did not provide specifics. The library has already received $800,000 in construction grants from the state and Rosalia said the library will continue to pursue outside funding.

According to library spokesman Mark Grossman, officials are exploring various alternatives to the original plan presented to the voters and final decisions on what to exclude are currently being considered. These include the installation of glass partitions, raised flooring to accommodate cables and other wiring, cabinetry, parking lot features, and a portico at the entrance, according to library officials. An “oversight” by the architect required the addition of a sprinkler system, Grossman said.

While library officials reported $3 million in overruns due to the unforeseen issues, they would not comment on what additional monies would be spent when the alternatives are taken into consideration. Grossman explained that the project “has a lot of moving parts” and the library could not provide an estimate of cost overruns beyond the $3 million at this time. The design team is still reviewing what items can be omitted to generate savings, and the process will take time, Grossman said. Requests by the South Shore Press for an estimate of potential cost increases is being considered an inquiry under the Freedom of Information Law, according to Grossman, and would not be provided as of press time. Library officials also would not say how much in operating funds they expect to convert to the library’s reserve to pay for the capital projects.

Shifting operating costs approved by the voters to the construction budget raised concerns among residents who

called for any operating fund surpluses to be returned to the taxpayers. “Using operating money to pay for cost overruns for the capital program is completely wrong,” said Kenneth Olivo, a candidate for the library board and local chamber and civic officer. “They are robbing Peter to pay Paul. They are spending money with no regard or transparency to the taxpayers. I will not allow this to continue if I am a member of the board. They need a complete financial audit.” Olivo said. His opponent in the trustee’s race, incumbent Joseph Furnari, did not respond to requests for comment on the construction funding.

Mastic Park Civic Association Director Ray Keenan said his group hosted a recent meeting with library officials to discuss the upcoming budget and the ongoing projects. “It’s remarkable to me that these folks propose a budget increase when we've had no library for a year and a half,” Keenan stated. “And the other issue that gets me is rolling over the budget surplus year after year into a reserve fund to pay for the construction projects. These surpluses should be returned to the taxpayers.”

Others questioned how rent surpluses, early retirement savings and other unspent budgeted items would be handled with the construction overruns looming over library expenses. “What do Manorville residents get from the hundreds of thousands of dollars they send the district without even having a main branch?” one taxpayer asked.

The library is in the process of borrowing the remaining funds approved in the 2019 referendum, Rosalia reported. Interest rates are expected to be higher than previous bonding due to the

Federal Reserve raising rates in an effort to curb the inflation that has descended over the U.S. economy. A request by the South Shore Press for interest rates, payoff duration, and other costs for past borrowing and the anticipated bonding is also pending with the library.

After celebrating the opening of the Mastic Beach annex in January, Rosalia noted a significant uptick in the issuance of library cards. “People who didn’t have the means to visit the main library can now walk to the annex,” the library director said. “It’s really heartwarming to see so many residents enjoying our services.” According to the director, the new Moriches Annex is complete and should be open next month. The main library reconstruction is slated for completion in 2024 or early 2025, Rosalia projected. Along with the Neighborhood Road branch, library services are currently available at the Herkimer Street recreation center.

The library’s annual vote will take place April 4 with the trustees proposing a $10,613,000 budget with a 1.4 percent tax increase, a levy below the state’s tax cap. The spending represents a $148,499 increase over last year and includes $778,876 in capital funds already approved in the 2019 referendum. If the vote were to fail, spending would revert to the current budget, Rosalia pointed out. Library services amount to about $680 per year for the average home in the district.

Details of the spending plan are available on the library’s website with an informational meeting scheduled for March 27 at the Mastic Recreation Center on Herkimer Street. The vote will take place at the Mastic Beach annex from 9 a.m.-9 p.m.

TOWN

Brookhaven Comes Out of COVID Era with $1.86 Billion in New Development

By Robert Chartuk

With the COVID crisis in the rear-view mirror, Brookhaven is experiencing a construction boom with more than a dozen largescale projects featuring millions of square feet on tap to create thousands of jobs and enhance the town’s economic future.

Investments of $1.86 billion across 15 commercial, industrial and residential projects represents a huge windfall for taxpayers with enormous proceeds expected in tax revenue, jobs and other economic benefits, according to town officials.

“These projects will ease the tax burden, particularly for the school districts where these industries are located, which is important,” said Supervisor Edward Romaine. “But even more important is creating not only temporary construction jobs, but permanent jobs so our residents can make a decent wage and afford to live here.”

The Supervisor noted that “geography is destiny” with Brookhaven having the space necessary for the large-scale projects. “We're past the pandemic and we're back to the time when people are investing in our town,” Romaine said, noting that a longtime goal has been to create an economy independent of New York City. “We have our own internal economics that run this town and this county we know as Suffolk, so less and less we depend on the city. We’ve built our own economic base.”

Underscoring the development boom is the $491.1 million Sunrise Wind offshore windmill array and its $37.7 million operations and maintenance hub in East Setauket. Officials this week highlighted the 924 MW project at a Smith Point Park press conference pointing to $130 million in impact fees Brookhaven is slated to receive when the project goes on line in 2025. More than 3,000 jobs are expected to be created by winddriven turbines located 30 miles east of Montauk Point, according to town Industrial Development Agency officials who are coordinating the various projects and providing incentives to the

developers.

A hot pocket for the development boom is an industrial corridor in Shirley and Yaphank that directly connects not only to the Long Island Expressway, but also to the rails as highlighted by the $409.7 million Brookhaven Logistics Center, a rail-contiguous warehouse and distribution center that is projected to create more than 2,900 jobs.

Nearby is the 148,250-squarefoot Bactolac building, a $17.9 million warehouse for materials used in manufacturing dietary supplements. Its neighbor is the MDS Building Ventures warehouse and distribution center for custom packaging supplies, a 140,000-square-foot facility costing $13.7 million. Just down the road in Yaphank are two buildings totaling more than 400,000-square-feet by AVR SP Brookhaven JV, a $72.4 million investment.

Housing Brookhaven residents will be the transit-oriented Port Jefferson Crossing project sponsored by Conifer and the Community Development Corporation of Long Island. The $24.3 million construction will feature 45 affordable workforce housing units and have quick access to the Long Island Rail Road. Farmingville will be the home of The Arboretum, a $109 million development comprised of 292 rental units, public use building and park on 62 acres.

There’s also Middle Country Meadows, a $36.9 million senior housing community of 124 rental units in Selden and phase 2A of the Ronkonkoma Hub with approximately 388 residential units, including parking, retail and commercial space, total investment: $252.7 million.

“This is an incredible amount of investment that demonstrates great confidence in our workforce and economic viability,” said Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano, whose district contains many of the projects. “Kudos to the IDA and the town officials who stuck to their far-reaching plan to bring billions of dollars of quality development to the area.”

TOWN Library Voters Will Take to the Polls April 4

Center Moriches Proposes 8.11% Increase

By Robert Chartuk

Operating budgets and trustee candidates will be on the ballot April 4 as libraries across Long Island will look for spending increases to cover inflation and higher personnel costs. Most are staying within state-mandated tax caps, with some having uncontested elections for library board seats.

Brookhaven

The Brookhaven Free Library, the smallest within the local system, will ask residents to approve $948,425 in spending, a $22,234 increase over the current plan, according to Library Director Jamie Papandrea. The proposed budget carries a 2.4 percent tax hike which is within the state’s tax cap formula for the library, and amounts to a slight increase in the $106.73 cost per average homeowner for library services. Anticipated income of $91,041 from fines, gifts, donations and other sources will bring total library spending to $1,039,466. Inflation and employee health care costs are the main contributors to the increase, the director said. The district is pursuing an estimated $600,000 project to improve access to the library, a cost that is being covered by grants and existing funds, according to Papandrea.

Brookhaven is looking to fill two trustee seats and will have three candidates on the ballot: Brittany LaValle, Jackie Dennis Subhash, and Peter Toumbekis. Voting will be held at the Beaver Dam Road library from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.

Center Moriches

The Center Moriches Free Public Library will go to the voters with a $1,192,885 spending request, an $89,500 increase over the current budget. The spending will necessitate an 8.11

percent hike in the library tax rate, which is $47,603 over the allowable tax cap calculated by the state, according to Library Director Marcie Litjens. She attributed the increased costs to inflation, as well as employee health insurance and retirement costs. Overall, the library is looking to spend $4,146,585, with $2,725,000 in revenue coming from neighboring districts that use the library—East Moriches, Eastport-South Manor, and Speonk/Remsenburg—along with other income. The average homeowner in the district will pay about $400 per year for library services under the proposed plan.

Trustee Deborah Cannarelli is running unopposed for another term. Voting will take place at the Main Street library from 10 a.m.8 p.m. Residents can learn more at an informational meeting hosted at the library March 27 at 7 p.m.

Longwood

Voters will be asked to approve an $8,380,225 spending package for the Longwood Public Library, an increase of $271,921 over this year’s plan. The budget represents a 3.5 percent tax increase, which is below the allowable state cap, reported Library Director Lisa Jacobs. Total library spending will be $8,713,225 under the plan, with costs offset by anticipated revenue and a $200,000 fund balance. As with other libraries in the area, Jacobs attributed the increase to inflation and higher utility costs. The average Longwood homeowner will pay about $387 for library services annually under the plan. Incumbent Gail LynchBailey is running unopposed for reelection. Residents can learn more at an informational meeting on March 22 at 7 p.m. at the Middle County Road library, which will also be the location of the vote on the fourth from 8 a.m.-9 p.m.

Mastics-Moriches-Shirley

The board of trustees will go to

voters with a $10,613,000 budget which comes in under the state tax cap at 1.4 percent, according to Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Library Director Kerri Rosalia. The plan represents a $148,499 increase over current spending and includes $778,876 in capital monies approved in a 2019 referendum to build new annexes and rebuild the main branch on William Floyd Parkway. Total library spending will be $11,270,375 including the money allocated for the new projects, and would amount to about $680 per year from the average homeowner for library services. The trustees have held the line on the operating budget with no increases in the library tax since 2017, except for 2020 when the rate went up four percent, Rosalia pointed out.

Incumbent trustee Joseph Furnari is seeking another term and is being challenged by Shirley resident Ken Olivo, a New York Office of Mental Health retiree. Furnari operates a commercial cleaning business and is on the staff of Senator Dean Murray. Voting will take place at the Mastic Beach Satellite Branch on Neighborhood Road in Mastic Beach from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Note: The voting location is not the Mastic Recreation Center as reported in last week’s South Shore Press. An informational meeting will take place at the recreation center March 27 at 7 p.m.

Patchogue-Medford Library Director

Danielle

Paisley reported a vote for the Patchogue-Medford Library on a $9,265,770 budget, an increase of $194,382 over the current plan. If approved, the spending will come with a two percent library tax increase, which is within the state cap, Paisley noted. The increase is attributed to higher employee costs, contractual expenses and costs associated with the new Medford annex. With anticipated revenue, the library is planning to spend $9,424,157. Residents pay about $460 on average for the library with the new budget adding about $15 if approved.

Patchogue-Medford voters will consider a five-person field running for two trustee positions: Aida Alicea, Jeffrey Berthold, Al Pellegrini, Frank Rignola, and Amanda Sanford. The two current board members have chosen not to seek reelection. Voting will take place from 9:30 a.m.-8 p.m. at the library on Main Street in Patchogue with an informational meeting held there on March 28 at 6 p.m.

South Country

The South Country Library is seeking voter approval on a $3,279,015 budget, a $89,287 increase over last year and within the state’s two percent tax cap, according to Library Director Kristina Sembler. A capital expense item of $102,000 is included in the proposed plan to help pay for a planned upgrade of the Station Road facility’s HVAC system and future interior space renovations. According to Semler, the library is looking to eliminate nearly all fines, further expand e-book and streaming services, hold fairs for social services, veterans and seniors, and roll out new classes for tech, nutrition, and health/wellness. The library did not provide an average cost per taxpayer.

Two trustee candidates will be on the ballot for two open seats: Regina Crawford and Joann Neal. Voters can cast their ballots at the library on Station Road in Bellport from 9:30 a.m.9 p.m. The library’s informational meeting on the budget has already taken place, but details can be found at its website at www. sctylib.org, similar to all of the library websites.

Zeldin Forges Ahead in National Leadership Role

By Robert Chartuk

After nearly knocking off a Democrat for governor in a decidedly-blue New York, former congressman and gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin has cast himself in a leadership role with a new Political Action Committee and has already thrown his support behind Long Island’s Republican delegation in anticipation of a bruising election next year.

The Shirley resident had a lot to do with the Republicans taking over the house as his aggressive campaign against Kathy Hochul led to a “Mini Red Wave” that helped his running mates take seats long held by Democrats. Zeldin, who was considered early on as speaker of the house with the new Congress, wants to not only keep the slim majority, but build on the Republican successes.

“Grassroots Republicans across America are ready to taste victory once again, but we must shake the strategies that have cost us time and again,” Zeldin explained in announcing his new “Leadership America Needs” PAC, which is already raising money nationwide.

“A red wave will never arrive based solely on what Republicans are against. To generate the next level of enthusiasm and momentum, Republicans need to do a great job articulating what we stand for. Voters need to much better understand the safer, freer, and more prosperous future they will get by electing a Republican.”

Zeldin said he was proud to announce his PAC’s endorsement of the five freshmen from New York who helped deliver the house majority and fire Nancy Pelosi as speaker: Anthony D’Esposito (NY-4), Nick LaLota (NY-1), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Marc Molinaro (NY-19), and Brandon Williams (NY-22). “These Majority Makers already have a massive target on their backs from national Democrats who have pledged to spend $45 million to undo all our progress in New York last cycle,” Zeldin said in a fundraising appeal to his donor base.

He credited his strong gubernatorial showing in part to his appeal to Democrat voters disenfranchised by the policies of their leaders in Washington and

Albany. Instead of Republicans making an “incredibly bad assumption” that voters will eventually come around on their own, “Republican candidates and campaigns need to instead take the initiative of going directly to these Democrat voters and earning their support,” Zeldin said. “To reach minority voters, Republicans have a huge opportunity to deepen inroads with various communities.”

The former state senator and Army veteran, noted that Liberal

policies have created a major crime crisis, skyrocketed the cost of living, eroded educational systems, and forced millions to flee to states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. “These are the same voters the Democrat Party has taken for granted and ignored,” Zeldin said, adding, “Minority communities across the United States also want safe streets, economic prosperity, and a quality education for their children. Republicans are on the right side of these top issues, but we must start showing up more frequently in these communities and passionately communicating our ideas directly.”

In an exhaustive campaign, one in which he was attacked by a knife-wheeling assailant who was quickly released due to the new Progressive bail laws and had bullets fly past his home while his daughters were inside studying for school, Zeldin said he knew he was certain to lose Manhattan, The Bronx, and many other communities within the city, but still showed up repeatedly. “The same committed approach should also apply to Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and other big cities across the country where residents are begging for change.”

Looking closer to home, Zeldin touted the candidacies of

Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine for Suffolk County executive and Councilman Daniel Panico, both of Center Moriches, to replace him on the town board. “They are absolutely the superior candidates and I am willing to do anything in my power to help ensure that the voters will circle the bubble to elect them.”

Zeldin promised to take the lessons learned from his New York campaign and apply them nationally, “to promote strong leaders who will boldly confront the challenges of the future and support Republican candidates for elected office committed to advancing my efforts to grow the diverse coalition of first-time Republican voters we built in the 2022 cycle.” Specifically targeted by Zeldin’s outreach will be Gen Z and Millennial voters who have become one of the largest Democrat voting blocs. “We need to generate enthusiasm with younger voters in ways that will translate into votes at the ballot box.”

Zeldin won’t say where he may be working beyond the PAC, but said an announcement is in the works. “I will continue to be a positive force, to grow a party and set us up for success in the future,” he said, adding, “I believe that there will be a re-entry into government.”

Dear Friends,

My colleagues from across the aisle in the Assembly are again trying to make New York State a lawless state. Fellow Republicans and I remain opposed to changes from Progressive Democrats who are trying to make New Yorkers less safe and allow criminals to continue to plague our state and city.

One bill, A.3057, would require the courts to orally provide every defendant who pleads guilty to a crime a scripted notification that they may face deportation if they are not a U.S. citizen. If a court does not provide this script, the plea is rendered unknowing, involuntary, and unintelligent, requiring a vacatur (A rule or order that sets aside a judgment or annuls a proceeding). The bill would also prohibit the court or the people from making other statements or inquiries regarding immigration consequences. A similar bill was vetoed by Governor Hochul in 2022. However, due to the veto-proof majority in the Legislature, a future veto by the governor would be overturned if the far-left bullies their colleagues into voting for the bill. While I agree that a person should have the right to understand, in his or her native tongue, the consequences of pleading guilty, this law will force judges to vacate a guilty plea, undermining our legal system and the rule of law.

Another bill, A.1923, would make it more difficult for employers to deny employment to convicted criminals. While people who have served their time in prison deserve a second chance, the state is forcing employers to hire individuals with a criminal record by letting the employers have less say in whom they hire and are grossly overstepping the authority of the state.

Finally, A.2878 allows individuals that plead guilty to appeal their guilty verdict and have the conviction vacated. In other words, you can plead guilty to a crime for a lower sentence rather than going to trial, AND THEN, the guilty person can have their verdict vacated and get out of jail sooner.

New Yorkers do not want legislation putting criminals back on the streets. Instead of passing legislation like the ones listed above, the majority should be working with us and passing legislation to keep New York safe

Sincerely,

“Water reuse has been increasingly recognized as an essential component in effective water resource management plans,” says the “Long Island Water Reuse Road Map & Action Plan” unveiled last week. “The United Nations formally acknowledged the importance of water reuse in 2017,” it adds.

“The benefits of water reuse have long been recognized and embraced in other parts of the world,” it continues. And now in the United States, “approximately 2.6 billion gallons of water is reused daily.”

But in New York State, “largescale water reuse projects have been limited. There are a few projects in upstate New York and one on Long Island,” the “Riverhead reuse project” which started in 2016 “to redirect highly treated wastewater, as much as 260,000 gallons per day” from the Riverhead Sewage Treatment Plant to “irrigate the nearby Indian Island County Golf Course” instead of, as had been the practice, dumping it into Flanders Bay.

“Reusing water, for some other valuable purpose, provides numerous benefits,” the “Long Island Water Reuse Road Map & Action Plan” goes on. “These include protecting public wells and water supplies from salt water intrusion.” It calls for highly treated wastewater to be used for a variety of purposes here with additional irrigation of golf

courses but also of sod farms and greenhouses, lawns and fields at educational and commercial sites and—highly important—to deal with “over-pumping.”

Indeed, a lesson for all of Long Island is how Brooklyn—on Long Island’s western end—lost its potable water supply more than a century ago: by over-pumping and consequent saltwater intrusion, along with pollution, notes John Turner, senior conservation policy advocate at the Seatuck Environmental Association.

So, Brooklyn began getting its water from reservoirs built upstate. There has been talk in recent years of Nassau County buying water from those New York City-owned reservoirs. But they are near capacity, says Turner, so the city “has not been welcoming Nassau County with open arms.”

For Nassau and Suffolk Counties water reuse is critical.

The “Long Island Water Reuse Road Map & Action Plan” was presented this week at an event at the treatment facility of the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District in Nassau County. Nassau is a case study of how the Brooklyn lesson has not been learned. In Nassau, which is 85% sewered, its sewage treatment plants dump wastewater through outfall pipes into nearby waterways and the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island

Sound—and as a result Nassau’s water table is dropping.

An announcement for the event said that it “serves as a kick-off for a new way of thinking that could revolutionize the way in which our community protects its most precious natural resource.”

The “Long Island Water Reuse Road Map & Action Plan” charting a course for Long Island to reuse water from its underground water supply, its “sole source” of potable water, was created by Islip-based Seatuck working with the Greentree Foundation and Cameron Engineering & Associates, and a Water Reuse Technical Working Group of 28 members.

Suffolk County is about 25% sewered. Some water treatment plants in Suffolk recharge treated

wastewater into the ground but plants also do what Nassau has been doing, sending wastewater out to adjacent waters or the ocean or Long Island Sound through outfall pipes.

There has been action through the years on pollutants in the water supply, on quality of drinking water, in Nassau and Suffolk. There must be a parallel emphasis on quantity.

“Major Action Plan Recommendations” in the new plan, include: “Develop Water Reuse Regulations/Guidelines…Convene a Long Island Water Reuse Workgroup to develop and implement strategies… Conduct engineering studies on the most feasible projects…Engage Long Island Golf Course Association in plan development…”

The “Water Reuse Technical

Working Group” for the plan included: Anthony Caniano, hydrologist at the Suffolk County Department of Health Services; Dr. Christopher Gobler of the Stony Brook University School of Marine & Atmospheric Sciences; Bill Zalakar, president of the Long Island Farm Bureau; Chris Class, marine scientist at The Nature Conservancy; Joseph Gardner, president of the Long Island Golf Course Superintendent’s Association; Riverhead Town Sewer District Superintendent Michael Reicher; Jeremy Campbell, director of the South Shore Estuary Program; Joyce Novak, executive director Peconic Estuary Program; Sara CernadasMartin, water quality program manager for the Peconic Estuary Program; Christopher Schubert, program development specialist at the New York Water Science Center; Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Suffolk County Public Works Supervisor Madhav Sathe and Deputy Suffolk County Executive Peter Scully.

Projects for water reuse considered in the Town of Brookhaven in the plan include at: L. Delea and Sons Sod Farm in Miller Place; Miller Place High School; Pantaleons Farms in Stony Brook; and Longwood Farms in Middle Island.

The Benefits of an Irrevocable Trust

A: I had an irrevocable trust drawn up for me years ago. What are its benefits, and do I need to update it?

There are many types of irrevocable trusts, but by far the most common is the Medicaid Asset Protection Trust. The main benefit of the trust is protecting assets for purposes of qualifying for Medicaid Long term care. The cost of homecare or nursing home care, is not covered by the everyday health insurance. Should one need long-term care, they must either pay privately, have long term care insurance, or qualify for Medicaid. Medicare does not pat for long term care.

Qualifying for Medicaid requires meeting Medicaid’s asset and income limits. By transferring assets to an irrevocable trust, one can reduce their available assets for Medicaid eligibility. Assets held in the trust for five years are fully protected under the five-year look-back period for nursing home Medicaid. There is currently no look-back period in New York for homecare Medicaid. Therefore,

assets transferred to the trust are unavailable for homecare Medicaid as of the date of the transfer.

The Medicaid Asset Protection Trust allows the Grantor (creator of the trust) to receive income from the trust (rental income, interest, dividends, etc.). However under no circumstances can the Grantor, or the Grantor’s spouse, have access to the trust principal. The Grantor or their spouse cannot be Trustee.

The Grantor still maintains an impressive level of control. The Grantor retains the right to reside in any home held in the trust, remove or replace a Trustee, and change the beneficiaries. If a home held in the trust is sold, the proceeds from the sale can be used to purchase a substitute property for the Grantor.

Another advantage of an irrevocable trust is that assets placed in the trust avoid probate. Probate is the process in which a Last Will and Testament is filed in Surrogate’s Court in the county

where the decedent resided at the time of death. The named Executor will have to file the original Will and death certificate, along with a probate petition with the court. The decedent’s next-of-kin will have to be notified and provided the opportunity to contest the validity of the Will. Only after the court issues a decree granting probate and issues Letters Testamentary can the Executor then marshal the

decedent’s assets and distribute the property according to the terms of the Will. The probate process can be significantly time-consuming and costly. Assets held in your sole name without a listed beneficiary must pass through the probate process. However, assets held in a trust will pass seamlessly upon the Grantor’s death without court intervention.

Because the trust is irrevocable, there are limits on the ways it can be updated as time passes. As mentioned, this type of irrevocable trust can give the Grantor the power to remove/replace a trustee and change the ultimate beneficiaries of the trust. Most other types of irrevocable trusts do not have this flexibility. It is important to meet with an Estate Planning and Elder Attorney to review your current trust, and determine if it meets your needs and goals. An attorney can usually work with you to make changes even when a trust is irrevocable.

BETTOR ANGLE

Under the Tournament

When March Madness rolls around most of the general public race to fill out their brackets. Who will be the Cinderella team? What #1 seed will be the favorite? Who is my big upset special to go deep? These are the questions that make filling out a bracket one of the most fun, and universally enjoyable practices in all of American sports. It's also a time that people that never bet a dollar all season will enter bracket pools to try to make some money.

The idea of winning a bracket is fun, but not really a profitable gameplan. Moving on from the casual bettors, we also can talk about the mid level bettors. The people who love to take the underdogs and

hope their dart throws pay off. Princeton and FDU certainly paid handsomely this year if that was your philosophy, but overall the public loses, even if they take underdogs.

This season though there was a cheat code to making money. The first round unders were an outlier like we have never seen before. The public loves to bet overs, because they like to see scoring and entertainment. Unders are usually a good bet, but this year unders in the first round were mind boggling. Entering Sunday unders were hitting in over 75% of the games! If you got favorable lines that number went close to an 80% win rate for 3 days.

So, the question is will the unders keep hitting? No one can tell for sure,

but the books will adjust for this weekend's Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games. There is

no way the unders can keep cashing ... is there?

Roy Halladay and Chris Carpenter 2023 Edition THE ROTOMILLTM

BY CHUCK T. Fantasy Sports

Several decades ago in my fantasy baseball career, I fell into a pattern of drafting Roy Halladay and Chris Carpenter in several of my dynasty leagues every season. True to form, they were disappointing in almost every season I drafted them. Halladay got 18 starts with Toronto in 1999 at a nice young age of 22. And in 149 innings that season he struck out a meager 82 batters. His ERA at 3.92 was decidedly ordinary. And in 2000 he started 13 games. And in 2001 he started 16 games. He was always a highly rated prospect with the Toronto Blue Jays and his stuff was always highly rated. But he didn’t find consistency until his 5th season when he got 34 starts and he led the American League in innings pitched with 239-1/3. Was I the owner who reaped the benefits of being patient with Halladay? Nope. I had moved on.

Four years of waiting is an eternity in fantasy baseball. Even in a dynasty league it is a long wait. I had a very similar experience with Chris Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals at about the same time. ERA’s of 5.09/4.37/4.38/6.26/4.09 and 5.28 was what his fantasy baseball owners were rewarded

with. And then the season he turned 30 Carpenter put up a 21-5 record on his way to winning the NL Cy Young Award. Both of these tall right handers became dominant starting pitchers but long after I had exhausted my patience with both of them. Is there a lesson for the rest of us to spot here? Certainly we know that some players don’t mature until reaching their 27th birthday. Although Carpenter was still pretty bad in his age 27 and 28 seasons.

There are a number of starting pitchers in my dynasty league that seem to fit the profile seen earlier with Halladay and Carpenter. And they finished 2022 as free agents. I won’t be surprised if these pitchers are the surprises of 2023, as they have each shown signs of promise but that dominant performance has eluded them. Let’s look at some of them and they ought to be available late in your draft, if not entering the 2023 season as available free agents.

J.T. Brubaker has shown flashes the last few seasons. He enters the 2023 season as a 29 year old and his ERA numbers have been lousy the past two years. And there he is dominating this spring with a 4-pitch arsenal of fastball, sinker,

slider and curve that look sharp. I can see Brubaker reeling off 180 innings pitched with 160 or more strikeouts this season. All from a pitcher who won’t cost you a premium draft pick and will make you look smart in August.

Nick Pivetta of Boston will be 30 years old for all of the 2023 season. And while his 4.56 ERA in 33 starts last year was not even above average, his 175 strikeouts

in 179 innings pitched are. If Pivetta could improve his control he is a ripe candidate to become one of the bigger surprises of the 2023 season. Josiah Gray of the Washington Nationals is a pitcher with flashy stuff who will be just 25 years young for the 2023 season. He struck out 154 batters in 148 innings pitched last year. He failed to strike out five batters in every one of his September starts,

showing a pitcher who was clearly out of gas never having thrown so many innings before. He struck out 9 or more batters (5) times in April through August. Keep an eye on Gray.

A number of good looking young prospects came to spring training as long shots to make their teams to start the season. And a number of them were sent down on March 14th after turning in some strong performances. No hitter was hotter than Cincinnati’s Christian Encarnacion-Strand. The 23 year old slugger went out and hit .577 (15-for-26) with 4 spring home runs. He will get called up at some point in 2023. And the Pirates had a young 22 year old catcher turn in a solid spring. His name is Endy Rodriguez and in 2022 he hit 25 home runs with 95 RBI’s in 122 games across 3 minor league levels. In need of some additional seasoning, and the defensive abilities to play other than at catcher, Rodriguez may spend some time in the infield. The Pirates made Henry Davis the #1 overall draft pick as a catcher in 2021 so if Rodriguez can play elsewhere it helps the Pirates. I like Endy Rodriguez and expect him up at least by mid-season.

VETERANS WAY Origin & History of the Tuskegee Air Men

On March 19, 1941, the U.S. War Department established the 99th Pursuit Squadron (later renamed the 99th Fighter Squadron). It activated the unit three days later. As time went on several other squadrons were formed including the Tuskegee Airmen, which was America’s first squadron of African American pilots.

Not surprising, given the political climate, African American aviators were barred from flying in the U.S. Army Air Corps (the predecessor to the Air Force). In fact, they rarely entered any cockpits at all. Census records show that only a few dozen licensed African American pilots lived in the entire United States prior to World War II. That number finally began to rise when several African American colleges were included in the Civilian Pilot Training Program, which Congress created in 1939 to ensure that pilots would be available should war break out.

In 1940, Republican presidential nominee Wendell Willkie promised to desegregate the military, prompting his opponent Democratic President Franklin

D. Roosevelt, to authorize the enlistment of African American aviator, among other modest civil rights concessions. The pilot unit would be trained at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, a historically black college founded by Booker T. Washington. Before the first cadets arrived, the program got a publicity boost when First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was taken up in a plane flown by Alfred Anderson a Chief Black aviation pioneer who served as the Tuskegee Institute’s chief flight instructor.

Living in tents, the inaugural class of Tuskegee pilots only five of the 13 original cadets made it to graduation in March 1942 including Benjamin O. Davis Jr., who would eventually become the unit’s commander. More graduations quickly followed, and the program was expanded to comprise not only the 99th Fighter Squadron, but also the 199th, 301st, and 302nd fighter squadron, and the 477th Bombardment Group, as well as support forces.

Overall, 992 pilots completed the Tuskegee training program, nearly half of whom were then shipped

overseas, where they gained fame from their unparalleled success at escorting bombers on long range raids deep into Nazi-controlled territory. Flying some 1,600

OF MEN & ANGELS

BY DOMINICK FORTE

St. George was born in Lydda, Palestine in 278 AD. He was an officer serving in the Guard of Diocletian and is best known for the slaying of a dragon. Many historians believe that his existence is more than just folklore. However, they dismiss his killing of a dragon as an entertaining fable citing the fact that in all recorded history archaeologists have never found the remains of these horrific creatures.

The legend is that in the city of Selene, modern day Cyrene in Libya, a huge ferocious firebreathing dragon built a nest in a huge body of water. This spring furnished the local population with drinking water and so it was imperative to lure the dragon from his nest. To keep the dragon placated the locals offered sacrifices of two sheep a day until the supply of sheep was depleted.

Dragons are known to

be fond of beautiful young maidens. With Selena’s sheep herd gone, innocent virgins drawn by lot were offered to the beast. One day the daughter of the king, Princess Puella drew the short straw. The king sadly presented his daughter to the dragon.

The young traveling Roman soldier named George arrived on the scene and inquired as to what was going on. He had been through numerous military campaigns and so he agreed to engage the dragon in battle. George on his magnificent white steed galloped at a quick pace to the shoreline of the spring and swooped down and lifted Princess Puella on to his horse placing her down safely out of the reach of the dragon. The dragon was furious.

He then turned around and set his site on the furious dragon who was spewing dense smoke and blue flames from its huge nostrils. The

George’s aim was to anger the beast so that he would be in such a frenzied state so that its judgment and reflexes would be impaired. He began jabbing his foe with his lance every time he galloped past. Finally, he drew back about 30 yards and let his lance fly. The lance found its mark through an opening in its scaly neck and severed the jugular vein of the beast. The dragon stood stammering for over an hour until it finally dropped from exhaustion and loss of blood.

The beast was slain, Princess Puella was rescued, and legend has it that the population of Selena was converted to Christianity. St. George is the patron of knights, soldiers, scouts, fencers, and archers. As is the case of other saints wrapped in legend the story of St. George serves to remind the world of the ultimate victory of good over evil. King Edward III named him patron St. of England in 1350.

LIBRARY LIVING

BY TARA D’AMATO

Assistant Library Director

The Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Community Library works hard to serve our community’s interests. Here’s two ways we do it:

First, we’re bringing library services closer to you.

And second, our proposed budget for the coming year – which you’ll be voting on on Tuesday, April 4 –reflects a conservative approach to spending and a commitment to the responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

On the first point, we’re making the library far more accessible by opening two brand-new, state-ofthe-art satellite branches in Mastic Beach and Moriches. Together with our main library in Shirley, these three locations at long last bring library services far closer to all of our patrons in one of the largest library districts on Long Island.

Our new, 7,000-square-foot branch in Mastic Beach opened in January, and it’s already a big success. Patronage has far exceeded expectations. The new Moriches location is scheduled to open within the month. Our main library in Shirley, now undergoing major code-mandated renovations, is scheduled to open in late 2024.

On the second point, in an

economic environment troubled by an inflation rate that reached 6.4% in January, we’ve exercised rigid controls over our expenses by rigorously reducing our costs and boosting our efficiencies – all while maintaining the quality and accessibility of library services.

As the result of our across-theboard belt-tightening, voters in our library district will be asked on April 4 to approve a budget reflecting only one new, net increase: a 1.4 percent increase in our operating budget, which amounts to $148,499 out of a total budget of a little over $11.54 million.

Keeping a lid on spending has been challenging and painstaking, especially, as we face rising expenses in such essential areas as books, media, IT databases, supplies, utility costs, and contractual obligations for staff.

Voting takes place on Tuesday, April 4 between 9:00am and 9:00pm at the new Mastic Beach Satellite Branch at 369 Neighborhood Road.

This increase – only the second such increase in nine years, amounts to a modest 78 cents per household per month for the average household assessed at $1,995.

BY VINCENT PICA, COMMODORE

When I teach seamanship classes, inevitably somebody raises their hand and asks about how “flat” the boat should be? I ask, “By ‘flat’, I am guessing that you mean relative to her waterline. But do you mean when she is sitting at the dock, going slowly forward but only at a ‘slow bell*’ or making all deliberate speed?” As their eyes glaze over, I know that we will have to take it by the numbers. This column is about that.

Boat Trim

Understanding boat trim and boat squat are all about control and avoiding running aground. For a “planing boat”, i.e., those boats we’re most familiar with that buzz around the bays and creeks, usually with an outboard engine on the stern, that “climb up” on to the water as they go faster, trim is synonymous with every aspect of the boat. Whether it be at the dock, barely making way or operating “at speed”, how ‘flat’ she rides is largely under the control of the skipper and he or she should be constantly aware of what trim they are assuming. This trim is best controlled by what angle you place the outboard engine relative to the transom. Huh?

Serving the Library Patron’s Interests

Usually in the throttle, there is a thumb control that when you press it “down”, it brings the propeller in closer to the transom. See figure 1.

By bringing the propeller in closer to the transom, you force the bow down from its manufactured waterline. When you would want to do that? How about if you were heading into strong wave action? If your bow was trimmed ‘up’, the force of the waves would accentuate that, possibly making it more difficult to see – and to control the boat.

Commensurately, if you press the thumb control to bring the engine “up”, it moves the propeller away from the transom, forcing the bow up from its manufactured waterline.

Why would you do that? Well, there are a number of reasons. One reason is that a powered vessel’s fuel consumption

Yet even within these budget constraints, the library will keep operating within our means – while preserving the high standards our patrons expect and deserve.

We’ll continue to offer such popular services as live online homework help; printing, scanning,

faxing access to computers and internet; meeting and study rooms; early literacy programs for babies and toddlers; and, help with government assistance programs.

We appreciate the ongoing support of our community and remain committed to being

responsible stewards of public funds. We urge you to exercise your vote on our proposed budget on April 4.

Let’s continue to navigate these challenging times together – and there’s no doubt we’ll emerge stronger on the other side.

You Know "Boat Trim" – But Do You Know "Boat Squat?"

improves as you reduce its wetted surface. So, as you are cruising down the bay, you can trim the engine up and save fuel at a given rate of speed. Secondly, if you are willing to throw fuel efficiency to the wind, sort to speak, a powered vessel simply goes faster with less of a wetted surface. And, as you bring the bow up, you reduce the wetted (in the water) surface. Compare how much more of figure 1 is below the water line, versus figure 2.

Boat Squat

Unless you are driving one of those “battlewagons” out there, or are involved in commercial navigation, you’ve probably never heard of “boat squat.” Even if you are in those situations, you still may not have heard of it – and it is critical to understanding why a boat with 4’ of draft hits the bottom in 5’ of water…

When any boat is making way

through the water, she starts by pushing a large amount of water ahead of her. If she a planing vessel, she’ll climb up on that wave as she picks up sufficient speed. But if she is a “big ‘un”, she won’t be planing anytime in this lifetime. She is a displacement vessel. So, this water that is getting pushed ahead returns to the side and under the boat’s bottom. As she starts to put on some way (speed), imagine this cycle of water building up speed under the ship. This causes a drop in water pressure under the boat. This causes the ship to vertically drop in the water. This is “boat squat” and how a boat with 4’ of draft hits the bottom in 5’ of water. (Hint: go slow in shallow water, Big ‘Un.)

Now, for a displacement vessel, trim is different from squat. Trim is the difference of the forward and aft draft while the boat is stationary. As she gets underway

and her aspect to her water lines changes, she is affecting “squat.” Naval architects justifiably worry about whether she has forward or aft “squat” (leans forward or aft as she builds speed.) This is largely determined by her center of gravity and her “block coefficient”, which is the volume of the hull (V) divided by the Length of her Water Line (LWL) times the (maximum) Beam of her Water Line (BWL) times her Draft. If you draw a box around the submerged part of the ship, it is the ratio of the box volume occupied by the ship.

So, now, you can say that you do know squat…!

* a “slow bell” means making way at the minimum speed at which the boat can maintain steerage. Larger boats, with exposure to the wind, need more speed to maintain steerage than a smaller, low profile boat.

OPERATING BUDGET RISE HELD TO 1.4%

Dear Library Patrons:

Our community’s families and individuals face challenging financial decisions in these times of historically high inflation. In January, the inflation rate was 6.4 percent. It has forced us to take measures to tighten our budget at the library the same way you’ve had to tighten your budgets at home. We were able to reduce costs and increase efficiencies that have enabled us to limit the increase in our operating budget next year to only 1.4 percent – well below the state’s 2 percent tax cap. This has been no easy feat, as we face rising expenses in such essential areas as books, media, IT databases, supplies, utility costs, and contractual obligations for staff.

Amid these challenges, we’re committed to maintaining the quality and accessibility of library services for the entire breadth of our community. We recognize our important role in providing vital resources and programs that support lifelong learning and community engagement. We’ll continue to seek ways to operate within our means while preserving the high standards our patrons expect and deserve.

We appreciate the ongoing support of our community and remain committed to being responsible stewards of public funds. Together, we can navigate these challenging times and emerge stronger on the other side.

Please note that in addition to the operating budget, state law requires our budget to include the principal and interest of bond payments already approved by voters in December 2019 for the two new satellite branch libraries in Mastic Beach and Moriches, and for the main building in Shirley.

Order, that all Suffolk County Departments, Agencies, and Divisions or other duly authorized law enforcement agencies take whatever steps are necessary to assist in performing such emergency measures as deemed necessary.

This order shall cease to be in effect after promulgation or upon declaration by the County Executive that the state of emergency no longer exists, whichever occurs sooner. The County Executive nevertheless, may extend such orders for additional periods not to exceed five (5) days each during the pendency of the local state of emergency. Failure to obey this order is a criminal offense, punishable by law under New York State Executive Law § 24(5).

NOTICE OF FILING OF SUNRISE WIND LLC’S PHASE 2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION PLAN FOR THE SUNRISE WIND NEW YORK CABLE PROJECT

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, on March 24, 2023, pursuant to Article VII of the New York Public Service Law (the “PSL”), Sunrise Wind LLC (the “Applicant”), a 50/50 joint venture between Ørsted North America Inc. and Eversource Investment LLC, will file a copy of its proposed Phase 2 Environmental Management and Construction Plan (“EM&CP”) with the New York State Public Service Commission (the “NYSPSC”) related to the Sunrise Wind New York Cable Project (the “Project”). The Project will deliver power from the Sunrise Wind Farm (“SRWF”)— which is under a 25-year Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificate (“OREC”) contract with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”)—located in federal waters on the Outer Continental Shelf, to the existing electrical grid in New York State. Construction associated with Phase 2 of the Project includes the remainder of Project installation beyond Phase 1 work, specifically: (i) installation of remaining civil works (i.e., ductbanks) along the Project’s route outside of New York State Department of Transportation-controlled rights of way, including horizontal directional drills (HDD) from Smith Point Marina to Smith Point County Park, and from Smith Point County Park to the offshore HDD exit point (ii) cable installation, both onshore and offshore; and (iii) remainder of construction works at the Project’s new onshore converter station (the “OnCS–DC”) . All of the work associated with Phase 2 of the Project will occur in the Town of Brookhaven.
