Suffolk County Responds to the Immigration Crisis

ByRaheemSoto

The contentious issue of illegal migrants' resettlement in New York City has stirred up concern in Suffolk County, with the County's Republican representatives considering legal intervention. In light of the constant arrival of alleged asylum seekers in New York City, they revealed a plan to hire legal counsel to probe potential actions to prevent the housing of undocumented migrants in Suffolk County. However, the County's jurisdiction to suspend such resettlement remains to be determined.

Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst), the legislature's presiding officer, unveiled the plan to vote on a proposal to appoint legal counsel. The primary goal is to shield Suffolk County from the financial burden of accommodating so-called asylum seekers. Despite withholding specifics, McCaffrey expressed the pressing concern that even if New York City finances the migrants' housing, their influx could strain county services and schools, pressuring the County's resources funded primarily by local taxpayers. He emphasized, however, that this is not an opposition to immigration but a measure to safeguard the County's resources. In a statement to the press, U.S. Representative Nick Lalota (R-Long Island) asserted, "We here in Suffolk County are 2,000 miles from the southern border, but we are to become a border county because of the Biden administration's failed border policy and the sanctuarycity policies of New York City, which has tended to become a magnet drawing people across that southern border.

"I say to the mayor of New York City, 'Sir, put your money where your mouth is,'" Lalota said." 'Those are your choices, sir. Now it's time to put up the money and the resources to accept the consequences of those public choices.' "

New York City, under Mayor Eric Adams, is currently home to 42,000 migrants, expecting to spend about $4 billion for their care. No formal requests have

been made yet to house migrants in Suffolk and Nassau counties.

Minerva Perez, Executive Director of the Organización Latino Americana (OLA) of Eastern Long Island, Inc., countered the narrative of a flood of migrants pouring into the area while recognizing the potential strain on resources. She criticized the prospective legal defense expenditure and suggested a more focused approach to addressing community issues, such as mental health. Perez emphasized that seeking asylum is lawful and said that narratives suggesting otherwise are "political dog whistles and fear-mongering."

Yvette Aguiar, Riverhead's Town Supervisor, declared a state of emergency on May 16 in response to rumors of undocumented immigrants arriving from New York City, mirroring actions taken by Nassau and Rockland counties. She issued an executive order to prevent the transportation and relocation of these individuals to Riverhead's hotels and motels by New York City's Department of Homeless Services.

A representative of Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone denied any arrangements with the County regarding the housing of migrants. Aguiar stated that her executive order would be distributed to potential host facilities in Riverhead by the local police department to ensure compliance with the order.

Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine voiced concern over the potential impact on taxpayers, especially school districts. He emphasized that localities should not bear the burden of illegal immigration, asserting that this is a national issue requiring robust border control.

The discussion is a direct fallout from the expiration of the Trump-era COVID-19 policy, Title 42, leading Mayor Eric Adams to anticipate the arrival of an estimated 65,000 migrants sent to the city by states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona.

As discussions continue and legal actions unfold, Suffolk County faces the complexities

and challenges of sanctuary city policies and the influx of undocumented and what many believe are unvetted migrants. In response to these concerns, NYS Senator Dean Murray and NYS Assemblyman Ed Flood introduced N.Y. Combating Alien Recidivism and End Sanctuary (NY-CARES) Act to address the economic and public safety consequences of sanctuary city policies. Expressing his concerns, Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine said, "The impact of immigrants on taxpayers of this County, particularly school districts, is of great concern. This is a national issue. As a government and as a nation, we should be capable of safeguarding our borders. Localities should not bear the brunt of the issues of illegal immigration, including services, housing, health care, and education. Neither the Town of Brookhaven nor Suffolk County can absorb these costs, which would ultimately fall on the taxpayer." However, according to Southampton Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, Governor Kathy Hochul assured him in a conversation that there were no plans to ship migrants to the East End. Schneiderman raised the question, "Are we chasing something that doesn't exist?"

Meanwhile, Huntington Supervisor Ed Smyth echoed sentiments supporting legal immigration, stating, "We need more legal immigration," but pointed out that the illegal immigration process and chaos at the southern border were causing a national crisis and embarrassment.

The Suffolk County Supervisors Association has voiced its support and delivered a strong message to federal government officials. The emergency order, enacted by Supervisor Yvette Aguiar, received backing from association Chairman Rich Schaffer and Vice Chair Angie Carpenter.

In a joint statement, Schaffer and Carpenter stressed, "The issue regarding migrants and their placement in New York State

is the sole responsibility of our FEDERAL government officials... the President, and both Houses of Congress. They all need to step up, stop finger-pointing, and finally figure out how to handle this issue. Fix the system like we have been asking them to do for years. It should not, and cannot be left to local governments to shoulder this burden or take on the responsibility for this issue."

This declaration drew bipartisan agreement, uniting all ten Suffolk County Supervisors

in their stance. In reaction to the show of unity, Supervisor Aguiar stated, "I am pleased to have the support of my fellow Supervisors on this critically important issue and will continue to preserve the health, welfare, and safety of all Riverhead residents. This catastrophe is not of our own doing, and I will not stand by and let the Federal government's mismanagement of this issue fall on the shoulders of the Riverhead taxpayers. No way, not on my watch!"

This morning I was joined by local elected officials from all levels of government as I introduced legislative action that will allow the Suffolk County Legislature to exhaust every legal avenue possible to stop Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams from dispersing their overflow of unvetted and undocumented migrants throughout our County. The failed border security policies of President Joe Biden will soon be felt across the nation, and we will do everything we can to stand in the way of becoming a “sanctuary” at the cost of our residents safety and financial stability.”

Controversy Surrounds Suffolk County's Approach to Short-Term Rentals

ByRaheemSoto

Suffolk County's stance on short-term rentals has ignited a heated debate, raising questions about taxation and the constitutionality of new laws. The controversy traces back to the Town of Brookhaven, where a proposed transient rental prohibition ordinance sparked a movement among homeowners. Irwin S. Izen, a local attorney and volunteer member of the Brookhaven Alliance for Homeowners' Rights, shared the group's perspective on the unfolding situation in an interview.

According to Izen, his involvement began when he received information about a Facebook group dedicated to property advocacy. Despite not being a resident of Brookhaven, he joined the group and took an interest in challenging the proposed law. According to Izen, Brookhaven did not have a short-term rental prohibition law in place and questioned

the rationale behind the new ordinance.

During a public hearing on the proposed law, Izen voiced his opposition and aimed to initiate a conversation on the issue. His discussions with other homeowners revealed that many relied on short-term rentals for economic purposes, contributing positively to the community. However, he recognized the need for responsible hosting and the payment of taxes to ensure a legitimate business model.

Izen delved into researching the occupancy tax in Suffolk County and discovered that it was set to increase to 5.5% on June 1st. He found it intriguing that the projected revenue from this tax was primarily targeted at Airbnb and VBRO hosts. Legislative minutes indicated that the county intended to collect revenue missed out on in previous years, prompting the implementation of the Granicus software program.

Granicus, the contracted company, aims to track down and enforce compliance with the occupancy tax regulations among short-term rental hosts. The implementation of this program has raised concerns regarding its legality and potential targeting of specific homeowner groups. Critics argue that unequal treatment may violate constitutional principles, including equal protection under the law and due process.

Moreover, Izen discovered

that the revenue generated from the occupancy tax was allocated towards various projects and tourism promotion rather than being invested back into the local communities. The allocation of funds and the return on investment for tourism promotion were areas of concern for him. He questioned the justification for a budget increase from $2 million to $6 million for the Long Island tourism agency. In his efforts to challenge the law's constitutionality,

Izen participated in a hearing held by the Suffolk County Budget Committee. He emphasized the need for transparency and regulation in the implementation of the tax law. Izen also advocated for collaborative efforts between the government and homeowners to address the issues.

The ongoing debate surrounding short-term rentals and taxation demonstrate the challenges of balancing regulations, promoting tourism, and protecting homeowners' interests.

The future of short-term rentals in Suffolk County hangs in the balance as residents, lawmakers, and organizations grapple with the complexities and potential consequences of these new regulations.

Navigating the County Clerk's Office: Essential Services, Challenges, and Technological Advances

ByRaheemSoto

The Suffolk County Clerk's Office plays a critical, albeit indirect, role in the electoral process. Although not directly involved in conducting elections, the Office sets the ballot by transmitting the elected positions for the upcoming general election to the local Board of Elections, as per the New York State Election Law, explains Suffolk County Clerk Vincent Puleo.

With its interface ranging from the federal government to local villages, the Clerk's Office processes a staggering number of documents daily. Annual statistics show roughly 150,000 land records recorded, over 45,000 court judgments filed, around 30,000 new Supreme Court lawsuits initiated, and in excess of 30,000 requests for copies of filed records handled. Timely processing of these requests and making records publicly available pose significant challenges, which have been mitigated through the effective implementation of technology.

Puleo elaborates on the transformative impact technology has had on the

operations of the Clerk's Office. "Technology has allowed us to expedite document reception, processing, and retrieval. We now accept electronic filing of documents, enabling 24/7 submission. We're also working tirelessly on remote record searching, eliminating the need for in-person visits to our Office in Riverhead."

Public access to government records is paramount for the Clerk's Office. Nearly all their records are public, available for viewing or copying, and the Office is striving to make these records accessible online soon.

The Clerk's Office also plays a crucial role in supporting local businesses and community economic development.

"We work daily with local title companies, attorneys, banks, notaries, and budding entrepreneurs. Our goal is to facilitate their operations efficiently," says Puleo, highlighting that almost every county resident or business will interact directly or indirectly with the County Clerk's Office.

In addition to its administrative duties, the Clerk's Office has the onus of preserving the county's historical records.

Being one of the oldest public offices in New York State, it holds land and court records dating back several centuries, some predating the formation of the United States. The Office houses a historical documents library with a trained archivist and maintains a separate facility in Westhampton for over 60,000 boxes of inactive county records.

As the Records Management Officer for the county, the County Clerk is responsible for the retention, and occasionally destruction, of inactive county records.

As for residents needing to interact with the Clerk's Office, Puleo advises, "We've tried to make it as easy as possible to find information and interact with our office." With the geographical expanse of Suffolk County, he understands that traveling to Riverhead may be challenging for many. Thus, they have added comprehensive information to their website, accommodate queries via email or telephone, and are also happy to assist in person at their Riverhead office.

The Suffolk County Clerk's Office exemplifies

how traditional government operations can effectively embrace technology to enhance their efficiency and public service.

For inquiries or further information, you can reach out to the Suffolk County Clerk's Office, located at 310 Center Drive, Riverhead, NY 11901.

You can contact them via telephone at (631) 852-2000, or through email at countyclerk@ suffolkcountyny.gov. Additional information can be obtained from their official website: www. suffolkcountyny.gov/clerk.

Going Back to the Basics: What does Our County Legislature Do?

Growing up, most of us probably viewed politics as something our parents talked about or even argued about at dinner or a family function. Some of us grew up with shows like School House Rock and the "I'm Just a bill sitting on Capitol Hill" song, but how many of us know what our local government bodies are responsible for?

I've lived in Suffolk my entire adult life. Like many, I was unaware of the basic county government setup; it always helps to get back to the basics, so let's do that.

The Suffolk County Legislature is the governing body of Suffolk County with 18 legislative districts, each represented by an elected legislator who serves a two-year term. Some folks are shocked that a Suffolk County Legislator's salary is over $85,000 a year. Whether that's a lot or not, I'll leave it up to you to decide.

To run for Suffolk County Legislature, candidates must fulfill specific criteria, which include being a resident of Suffolk County for one year preceding the election, being at least 18 years old, and collecting a specific number of signatures from registered voters in their district to qualify for the ballot. Candidates must abide by all campaign finance and disclosure regulations

The Legislature manages the county's budget, now over $3.7 billion. They decide how to dish out funds for our roads and bridges, police and fire departments, affordable housing, and healthcare. The Legislature approves contracts and agreements with vendors, contractors, and other entities providing the county goods and services.

The Legislature has the authority to enact local laws involving zoning and land use to public safety and environmental regulations. Oversight is also one of the most

critical roles the Legislature plays as they oversee the operations of county departments and agencies, such as the Department of Health Services, the Police Department, and the Department of Social Services.

The Legislature also has the authority to confirm appointments made by the County Executive to various boards and commissions like the Suffolk County Department of Parks, Recreation & Conservation, Suffolk County Disabilities Advisory Board, Suffolk County Food Policy Council, and Suffolk County Planning

Commission. Legislators are expected to advocate for the interests of their constituents. This advocacy involves securing funding for local projects, addressing community concerns, and promoting policies that will benefit the community. Legislators may investigate issues affecting the county and its residents, including public safety, health, and welfare matters. According to the County Legislature website, in a statement by presiding officer Kevin J. McCaffrey, “Suffolk's County Legislators are working every day to maintain a balance between providing residents an affordable tax rate while concurrently offering superior municipal services and protecting our environment– especially the surface waters and drinking waters."

A Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been Awarded to Suffolk County A Breakfast of Champions

Government Financial Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the County of Suffolk for its annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. This is the 39th consecutive year that Suffolk has earned such a prestigious award. According to the GFOA, “The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. The report has been judged by an impartial

panel to meet the high standards of the program, which includes demonstrating a constructive ‘spirit of full disclosure’ to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report.”

The Honorable John M. Kennedy, Jr. stated, “The recognition of the outstanding work performed by the Suffolk County Comptroller’s Office is well deserved. I am fortunate to have such a highly skilled and dedicated staff!” Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) advances excellence in government finance by providing best practices, professional development, resources, and practical research for more than 21,000 members and the communities they serve.

During the second annual Breakfast of Champions, held on May 16, the Eastport-South Manor Central School District honored 20 Junior-Senior High School students who exhibit exemplary character and conduct on a daily basis. In the tradition of Wheaties cereal, who for decades honored champions by placing their photos on cereal boxes, the administration and faculty recognized these students who have made daily contributions to the school community.

During his opening remarks, Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics Kevin Trentowski congratulated the

students, calling them kind, compassionate and friendly and headed for a successful life. He also noted that “while talent is a gift, character is a choice,” and that these

students choose to exemplify these traits each day.

Faculty members then spoke about their honoree’s accomplishments and presented their “champion” with a certificate and a Wheaties cereal box photo.

Congratulations to the following honorees:

Kaitlin Andresen, Emily Benson, Anthony Capozzi, Luis Coxic Jax, Sarah Fabricatore, Sydney Flores, Gilberto Garcia, Julianna Gargiulo, Hailey Henderson, Kailyn Hughes, Sarah Langdon, Elsie Martin, Lila McCarthy, Brady McGowan, Logan Meyer, Jayden Milheiser, Cheyenne Miller, Jeffrey Smith, Cassidy Tellez and Julianna Terry.

Contested Mayoral Race in Bellport, Trustees Candidates Unopposed

ByRobertChartuk

With term limits reducing the Bellport Village Board by three-fifths, two candidates have stepped up to replace outgoing Mayor Raymond Fell, while the two open trustee seats will see the contenders unopposed in the June 20 election. A common theme among the candidates is better communication with the residents and a slower, more studious approach to deciding on a caterer for the village’s country club.

Vying for mayor are Kieran Murphy, a New York City fireman and Bellport department volunteer, and Maureen Veitch, a human resources professional and career coach. On the slate for trustee are attorney Michael Young and Lorraine Kuehn, a retired public health sanitarian active in community groups. The election, open to village residents and second home owners who register in advance, will take place June 20. The new members will serve two-year terms and are limited to five terms in office.

With the current board, including outgoing trustees Robert Rosenberg and Michael Ferrigno, deciding to let the new officials resolve the controversial catering issue, the candidates have taken a cautious approach on how to proceed. They agree that appraisals on the value of the lease should be undertaken and that the village’s Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee should review any new proposed agreements. The candidates also cited traffic safety, particularly speeding on Station and South Country roads, as a priority, and pledged to be more

accessible to village residents.

“It’s a small village and we all know each other,” said trustee candidate Kuehn. “We share the same concerns and I don’t think we’ll have a problem getting along. Our village board should be friendly; we should be able to have people come in for lively discussions without getting stared at or have scowls coming back at them.”

Murphy, 53, a village resident since 1995, is running under the First Light Party. He served as Bellport Fire Department chief for six years where he said he dealt with the village on many different fronts. Aside from working with the Suffolk police and code enforcement on public safety issues and handling the country club contract in the most responsible manner, he cited the rebuilding of the Bellport Marina as a key issue. Serving on the village’s Waterfront Management Committee, Murphy is involved with the redesign of the facility, which has received $2.8 million in federal grant monies. “I look at things from a different view,”

Murphy said. “My experience is in emergency services running a fire department and working with firefighters. I look at problems and find solutions, not create more problems.”

Running on the All Points Party line, Veitch, 64, grew up in Bellport and has many family members in the village. She was elected to serve a one-year unexpired term as a trustee in 2021, but did not seek reelection, she said, since she wanted to run for mayor this year instead. She was a liaison to the Department of Public Works and the waterfront committee.“Bellport still has many of the same challenges that face most small towns in America,” Veitch noted. “We need safe roads, fiscal responsibility, and to protect our environment. Improving the infrastructure while maintaining the vibrancy and spirit of the village is of utmost importance to me." She would also like to see a “transparent, deliberate” process in addressing the country club catering issue.

Property Taxes Due May 31

Tax

Day in Suffolk

with property owners expected to pay a semi-annual installment for 2023. Many pay their levies directly through their mortgages or can pay online or in person at their town’s receiver of taxes office.

The amount paid in local property taxes is enormous with Brookhaven Town, for example, taking in $1.8 billion to be distributed to any number of taxing jurisdictions, according to Tax Receiver Louis Marcoccia. “I don’t raise them, I just collect them,” is the oft-repeated phrase through the years by these elected office holders.

School and library taxes make up about 67 percent of the average tax bill, the lion’s share. Next up is the Suffolk police at 12.8% of

the average tax load. If you live in Brookhaven, the town’s share of your taxes is about seven percent with the money split with the highway department, street lighting, garbage collection, and other funds. Suffolk’s other towns, which also have elected tax receivers, breakdown about the same way. Taxes will also be collected for:

• Metropolitan Transportation Authority

• Open Space Preservation

• Fire Districts

• Suffolk Community College and out-of-county tuition

Tax bills also include money to cover reimbursements to those who successfully grieved their taxes and are due refunds, Marcoccia explained.

Most towns allow for online

Kuehn, 68, said, “There’s a lot of fixing that needs to be done in the village. One of my focuses is going to be improved communications and transparency with the village and its residents.” The Common Ground Party candidate is in favor of posting meeting minutes on the village’s website and having “hybrid” meetings that are broadcast on Zoom. She’s in favor of electronic speed signs showing a motorist’s speed to encourage them to slow down, as well as crosswalks by the country club and the eastern part of the village. According to Kuehn, the state Department of Environmental Conservation is a “safety net” in reviewing plans for the marina. “We all want to live and work on common ground,” she said. “We’re all in agreement among the residents, except with dealing with the village board.”

“We are all aware that we face challenges that any number of communities would be thrilled to have,” the Historic Bellport Party candidate for trustee said. Young, 67, continued: “We have a charming and historic village which serves as the vibrant center

of a broader community. One demonstration of our village’s popularity is the desire of so many new families to move here. The challenge of our times is to accommodate new families who bring fresh thinking and energy while preserving the village’s essential character.”

The key issues, according to Young, are:

• Respecting the preferences of all families while maintaining the village’s essential character

• Looking for opportunities to improve village communication and approval procedures

• Maintaining fiscal prudence

• Reviewing roadway conditions and use

• Facilitating the success of local merchants and businesses

• Enhancing village governance transparency while reducing unnecessary adversity between village administration and residents

• Keeping the essential attributes of our charm and aesthetic

payments using a checking account routing and account number. Taxes can also be paid via credit card, but a fee is added, which is 2.5% in Brookhaven. Check your individual town tax receiver’s website for further details. More than 60 percent

of Brookhaven property owners pay online which carries a nominal $1.75 fee allowing Brookhaven to reduce its staff considerably over the years.

Residents can receive breaks in their taxes through the New York State School Tax Relief

STAR program, as well as exemptions for seniors, veterans, and volunteer firefighters. If the end of May deadline is missed, penalties start to accrue and instead of paying the taxes to the towns, remittances must be made through the Suffolk Comptroller’s office. “Once the tax is delinquent on June 1st, the comptroller, by law, must collect a penalty of 5% of the outstanding tax plus interest of 1% per month calculated from February 1st,” Comptroller John Kennedy noted. His office is also authorized to accept partial payments of a minimum of $200 towards any outstanding property tax bill. Taxes for the second half of the year are due January 10. Those who don’t meet their tax obligation will eventually surrender their property to the county.

Heroes Remembered on Memorial Day

ByRobertChartuk

Some were drafted; some volunteered; some came home; far too many perished.

As Memorial Day services take place across our area, the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice to make sure America remains free will never fade from our collective memory. Here are but a few:

on Terrorism missions, he was killed at age 29 in 2005, after his team was surrounded by Taliban forces.

Farmingville VFW 400 post is named in honor of Air Force Staff Sergeant Louis M. Bonacasa who was killed in the line of duty in 2015 while conducting intelligence operations near Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. Bonacasa, 31, heroically placed himself between his team and a terrorist’s explosive-laden motorcycle, saving the lives of two team members and an Afghan defender. An East Patchogue native, he enlisted in the Air Force after graduating from high school in 2002 and served four tours in Qatar, Iraq and Afghanistan. His wife, Deborah, is also a U.S. veteran.

Regiment, Santora was killed in Logar province, Afghanistan of wounds sustained while conducting combat operations. He was serving his fourth tour of duty — his second in Afghanistan after two in Iraq — when his unit was ambushed.

Barnes, past commander of the nearby Arthur H. Clune American Legion Post #1533 who is serving as the Grand Marshal of this year’s Memorial Day parade in Mastic Beach.

Michael Patrick Murphy was a United States Navy SEAL officer who was awarded the nation’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions during the War in Afghanistan. He was the first member of the Navy to receive the award since Vietnam. The Patchogue resident had graduated from Pennsylvania State University with honors and dual degrees in political science and psychology. After college he accepted a commission in the United States Navy and became a SEAL in July 2002. After participating in several War

Post 400 is also named for Army Sgt. Jason A. Santora of Farmingville who gave his life for his country at age 25 during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2010. Assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger

The Brookhaven Town Ball fields on Washington Avenue in Mastic Beach are named for Robert A. Miller, a Marine Corps Corporal killed in action during a night patrol in Vietnam. A Korean War veteran who renewed his service to fight in Vietnam, Miller’s former Silver Road home adjoins the park property. He was a masonry contractor who employed many local men including George

VFW Post 2913 in Patchogue was named for two veterans, Kenneth L. Jayne and Bleecker Lattin, who were killed in action onboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma and Arizona, respectively, during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Artillery in Fort Campbell, Ky., he was killed when his convoy came under enemy fire north of Hawd, Iraq. He had previously written his mother saying he was fine and urging his family not to worry. “Time goes by like a continuous Groundhog Day over here,” he said. “In the beginning, there was a lot of bloodshed, but now it’s all over. The good news is I will be coming home in September — October at the latest,” he wrote.

Army PFC Tyson Heighter, 22, of Bay Shore was killed in 2003 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Assigned to the 2/320th Field

Area School Budgets Approved; Trustees Elected

Residents across Suffolk gave their local schools a vote of confidence with the approval of spending plans and the reelection of mostly incumbents to trustee boards. All districts stayed within the state-mandated tax cap with one, William Floyd, approving a 17.88% reduction in the tax levy. Flush with state education aid, most districts increased or maintained programs and had various propositions approved.

CENTER MORICHES

Voters approved a $51,770,880 spending package that carries a 1.97% tax increase for its 20232024 budget cycle, a $4.19 million increase over last year. The vote was 352-234 and stayed within the tax cap. A little more than $3 million was transferred to the spending plan from a fund balance, reserve monies, and a miscellaneous account. The budget includes $100,000 for bathroom upgrades and other repairs. A a m It will also fund more full-time security guards

and camera upgrades. Two trustees, Thomasina Harrell and Dawn DiPeri, were elected to three-year terms.

EAST MORICHES

A $31,157,300 spending plan, about $758,000 over the current budget, was approved 405-79. The plan increases the tax levy by .99%. Measures allowing the district to send 9-12th grade students to Center Moriches, Eastport South-Manor and Westhampton Beach over the next five years and avail district residents of the services of the Suffolk Cooperative Library System were approved.

Running unopposed for new three-year terms, Michael Griffin and Hope Kaufman were elected to the school board.

EASTPORT-SOUTH MANOR

Voters went with a $109,736,930 budget for the district which carries an increase

in spending of $5,766,669 with a tax cap-compliant 2.76% tax levy increase. The budget includes an allocation to the Capital Fund for a $224,783 roof project. It carries a 54 percent increase in spending for security to $1.6 million, with employee benefits going up 10.3% to $21.5 million.

Jeffrey Goldhammer, Renee Pastor and Joseph Sammarco were elected to the school board.

LONGWOOD

The district won approval, 1,544-606, of a $291 million budget which carries an increase in spending of $20 million and comes with a .97% increase. The spending plan, bolstered by $119.4 million in state aid, represents a 7.38% increase in spending over last year. A large portion of the spending increase is necessitated by higher transportation costs and utilities, as well as health insurance and benefit increases.

Phyllis D. Bush-Butler and Gina Pozzolano Gebbia were elected to

three-year terms as trustees.

SOUTH COUNTRY

District voters okayed a $140,882,000 budget which carries a tax levy of 2.75% by a vote of 1,064-719. The plan maintains all existing programs and adds new staff, including a director of technology, a restorative justice coach, a workbased learning coordinator, three special education teachers and a foreign language teacher for a new program for grade six. The budget includes a $1 million interfund transfer for capital projects. They also propose the creation of a $10 million Capital Reserve Fund for improvements, facilities reconstruction, rehabilitation repair and upgrades including reconstruction and renovation of current facilities, pavements and grounds, asbestos abatement, heating/ventilation, plumbing, masonry work, structural repairs and replacements of doors, windows, floors and roofs, site work, and other related work.

Guadalcanal is a remote isle in the Pacific the Japanese coveted during World War ll as a base to attack the United States and its allies. More than 12,000 men, including Marine Corp PFC Anton A. Bulgala of Patchogue, fought over this speck of land for six straight months. Fighting was fierce and for Private Bugala, ended at the Battle of Edson’s Ridge. A heavy machine gunner who enlisted in the war effort at age 19, PFC Bugala fought in six battles in five weeks and died as the enemy focused on these positions with hand grenades and direct fire. Dunton Avenue in East Patchogue was named for him.

Voters also approved $2.5 million from the Capital Reserve Fund to finance projects for new windows at the Verne W. Critz Elementary School.

Cheryl A. Felice, E. Anne Hayes, and Donna Ingrassia were elected to three-year terms on the board of trustees.

WILLIAM FLOYD

Residents voted 1,076-204 in approving a budget that cuts taxes 17.88%, a reduction of $1,055 in taxes for the average assessed home in the district. The budget will both maintain and add student programs, clubs and other opportunities, as well as increase technology initiatives across the district. William Floyd will spend $292,518,144 under the plan with state aid covering $173,421,573 in expenses.

Voters re-elected trustees Robert Taiani and Angelo Cassarino and chose Luis J. Soto for three-year terms.

Broadway Shows, Bellport History at The Gateway

ByRobertChartuk

When the audience steps through the doors of the Gateway Playhouse in Bellport, they’re not only treated to a Broadwaycaliber show, but are immersed in the history of a familyoperated establishment which for three generations, provided a stage for major stars and even local thespians striving for the limelight.

Beginning life with the family of Henry Pomeran, who originally purchased the property with a mansion and ballroom for use as a Christian Science Retreat in 1949, the theater saw its first performances in a repurposed dairy barn on what was once a 70acre farm. In remembrance, the Gateway’s wall of fame features a picture of Daisy the Cow, along with photos of Robert De Niro, Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, and other stars who spent their early days at the playhouse honing their craft.

Daisy’s stage, with its wideplank floors and seats from the Yale University’s Shubert Theatre, each with a rack for the storage of one’s hat, was the inspiration of a more spacious theater built in 1962 that incorporates the rustic feel of the original. Central to transitioning the Gateway to a 500-seat theater were Pomeran’s three children, David, Sally and Ruth, who started putting on modest shows with their college friends. Helping take the playhouse to the next level was Stan Allan, Ruth’s husband who went on to become the town clerk for Brookhaven. Their son, Paul, is still at it having started in the family business at 12 years old.

“It was magical working with the actors and the people behind the scenes,” said Paul as he took a break from readying the evening’s show, a full Broadway production of Evita. “I was always in trouble for being up late, but l would tell

my parents everyone needed me, so they let me stay,” said the man who still works his magic behind the scenes.

The playhouse struggled as a family affair until 2011 when it became a not-for-profit supported by an adoring community happy to have a world-class performing arts center in its midst. The mansion, designed by the renowned architect Stanford White, houses the stars and supporting cast during the runs with various outbuildings used for costume and set construction and rehearsals, including a “Wigwam” for the storage of a multitude of hairpieces. Recognized as one of the top ten summer theaters in the nation, its productions don’t end with the season. They roll

into October with a huge haunted house experience and then a holiday show complete with an ice rink for this year’s star, former Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan. One part of the sprawling compound visitors won’t get to see is the grand ballroom that was attached to the former resort hotel. Legend has it that a local man fell for one of the cast and was banished from the grounds. Jilted, he set it on fire. One piece of history that’s still appreciated today by those fortunate to stay at the mansion is its spacious swimming pool. Built in the 1880s, it’s the first-ever pool of its kind on Long Island. Sadly, a oncemajestic windmill that delivered water to the old farm has fallen into disrepair.

The playhouse’s director of development and public relations—the man on the other side of the curtain—Scott Allan, no relation to the original Allans—has his plate full booking shows and keeping everyone on their toes. A Broadway veteran as well having worked with Frankie Avalon over a two-year run and a role in a hit production of Grease, Allan wheeled off the Gateway shows he’s been involved in over the last 12 years like they were yesterday.

Having graced the local stage were Sally Struthers of All in the Family fame, Saturday Night Live alum Joe Piscopo, Tony Award winner Betty Buckley, and Olympic skater Oksana Baiul star of the Gateway production Cold as Ice. Prospering from the theater’s School of Performing Arts and its programs for kids have been Michelle Veintimilla, who played the villain Firefly in the Fox television series Gotham, as well as Hayden on the Netflix science fiction miniseries, The I-Land, and Jesse James Kitel, who is

famed for playing TV Land's first non-binary character on Younger.

Next on tap after Evita, which runs until May 28, is the Donna Summer Musical, the “Queen of Disco,” which will feature three actors representing different stages in the Diva’s life, Scott Allan pointed out. Jersey Boys comes next and then it’s the haunted Halloween followed by the Holiday Spectacular on Ice featuring Kerrigan. “And then we start all over again,” Allan said with 2024 promising the classic Fiddler on the Roof and In the Heights, a Tony Award-winning musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton.

The playhouse, in its 74th season, also features an exciting Children’s Theater with productions of Matilda, Jr., Jeff Boyer’s Big Bubble Bonanza, and Finding Nemo.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP

BY KARL GROSSMAN

What is happening with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation?

The DEC has been sitting on its hands in regard to a 50-acre sand-mining operation in Noyac— called Sand Land—barely above groundwater. Last month, despite the ruling of New York State’s highest court, its Court of Appeals, annulling the mining permit of Sand Land, mining had resumed at the property, charged State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. of Sag Harbor and Bob DeLuca, president of the Group for the East End.

Also last month, Newsday reported that “more than 1,400 household products that contain a chemical classified as a likely human carcinogen have received temporary waivers from the state, allowing their manufacturers to avoid new standards that went into effect four months ago.” The agency? The DEC.

The DEC, said Thiele in an interview, has become a “captured” agency—captured by the industries it is supposed to regulate. “The DEC while it has broad authority for protection, on a day-to-day basis is undermining its mission. It is more interested in protecting industry than protecting the public—and groundwater.” It is a “captured” government agency, said Thiele. And it’s not alone. “We see captured agencies on the state and federal

NY Department of Environmental Conservation -- a "Captured" Agency

levels.”

“What’s Going On?” was a headline last month of an editorial in The Southampton Press, The East Hampton Press and The Sag Harbor Express. “It’s time to ask the question directly: What is going on with the State Department of Environmental Conservation and its steadfast refusal to get out of bed with sand mines on the South Fork? It’s gone from confusing to baffling to aggravating watching the DEC fiddle while state court orders are treated as inconsequential…”

“Where is the DEC?” asked the editorial. “A department tasked with protecting the environment appears willing to sit on its hands in a case with clear implications for the groundwater, which potentially would be impacted by continued mining at the site….Simply put, the sand mining at the site should not be done—period.”

As for the DEC allowing cancercausing substances to continue in a host of household products— including shampoos and cleaners— the Newsday article by Lisa Colangelo quoted Judith Enck, former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regional administrator and now president of the organization Beyond Plastics. She said: “The New York Legislature did an important thing by adopting this protective law [banning the use of these substances] but it’s

BY NANCY BURNER, ESQ. ASK NANCY

outrageous that New York DEC is offering close to 1,500 waivers.”

The definition online of “regulatory capture” is that it’s “a form of corruption of authority that occurs when a political entity, policymaker, or regulator is co-opted to serve the commercial, ideological, or political interests of a minor constituency, such as a particular geographic area, industry, profession, or ideological group.”

The New York State DEC is not a singular example.

Consider the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission which approves virtually every application from the nuclear industry that comes before it. Those who need to constantly challenge the NRC say its acronym really stands for the Nuclear Rubberstamp Commission.

Or take the Federal Aviation Agency which bows to the aviation industry time and again—including often on safety as well as aircraft noise.

The list of “captured” agencies goes on and on.

And this has been going on for a very long time. I wrote a book about this, titled The Poison Conspiracy, which featured the case of Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, a physician who became the chief chemist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture 1882. Along with Upton Sinclair’s book

The Jungle, he played a large part in causing Congress to pass and President Theodore Roosevelt to sign the Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906. The U.S. had undergone a transition from being rural to becoming largely industrialized with businesses developed to market processed food, usually doused with dangerous chemicals.

Dr. Wiley, who the U.S. government honored in 1956 by issuing a postage stamp with his likeness, and who government literature describes as the “father of food and drug regulation,” was put in charge of enforcing the new law as head of a government entity that was the forerunner of the Food and Drug Administration.

In 1912, as a matter of conscience, Dr. Wiley resigned from government service. Intent and reality had become two different things. Inspection was limited, penalties were light. And Dr. Wiley wrote a book, The History of a Crime Against the Food Law. The law had become “perverted to protect adulteration of food and drugs,” he wrote. He declared: “There is a distinct tendency to put regulations and rules for the enforcement of the law into the hands of industries engaged in food and drug activities.” Captured government agencies, including the DEC, need to be uncaptured—and be fully committed to the purposes and missions for which they were created.

Protecting an Inheritance During a Divorce

Q: A: I think my son will be getting a divorce in the future. How can I protect his inheritance?

When a couple gets divorced the Court, through the doctrine of Equitable Distribution, will attempt to divide the marital property as fairly and equally as possible based on numerous factors such as the length of the marriage, age and health of each party, and the earning power of each spouse. Under New York law, “marital property” is broadly defined as property acquired by one or both spouses during the marriage, while “separate property,” which is not subject to Equitable Distribution, is defined as property acquired by an individual prior to marriage.

There is, however, an important statutory exception: inherited property, gifts received from individuals other than one’s spouse, and compensation for personal injuries are considered

separate property, even if acquired during the marriage, and thus not subject to Equitable Distribution upon divorce.

At first glance, it may appear that your son’s inheritance does not need protecting since any property he inherits would not be considered marital property, but this is not the end of the story. Separate property can become marital property if the asset is “commingled” i.e. the separate property is mixed with marital property. For example, if your son were to deposit his inheritance into a joint account with his spouse, use inherited assets to purchase a home with his spouse that becomes jointly titled, or his spouse contributes to the maintenance and capital improvements of a property inherited by your son, the assets would become commingled and therefore subject to Equitable

Distribution upon divorce.

The best action you can take to prevent this from occurring is to leave your son his inheritance in trust. You could name your son as trustee or appoint someone else, and you would be able to limit

distributions from the trust as you see fit. Importantly, the trust adds a layer of separation, better protecting the inheritance from his spouse and her creditors by maintaining its status as separate property.

Moreover, with a trust you can control the remainder beneficiaries of the property you leave your son after his death. If you were to leave him his inheritance outright, his own Will would dictate how his estate were to pass which could leave everything to his spouse if he so desires. But with a trust you could stipulate that upon your son’s death the inheritance could go to your grandchildren, your other children, your favorite charity, etc. or any beneficiary you wish.

Willie, Mickey, the Duke, Joltin Joe, the Kid, and many more patrolled center field in baseball's long and storied history but none put up the eye popping numbers that Aaron Judge did last season. 2022 was a historic season, and many have argued that Judge's final numbers last year were the greatest by a center fielder in the history of baseball.

Judge garnered 28 of the 30 first place votes for MVP which led sports books across the country to open him up at just about 5 to 1 to win the award again this season. The two way superstar Ohtani, and his teammate Mike Trout were in front of him to begin the year. Judge had his skeptics on a repeat season, and his MVP odds rose pretty quickly as the season began. Ohtani was lights out in his first month as a starter and the accolades for his performances skyrocketed him

to even money for the award. Judge fell all the way back to last week, when you could get odds on a Judge repeat at more than 10 to 1 in some spots.

The baseball futures market moves slowly. One thing we have learned is it takes bettors weeks to adjust their ratings of a player and this might be the best time to grab Judge's numbers at this value. Aaron Judge has already had a 10 day IL stint, which made many believe he couldn't possibly get himself back into the race. But, he suddenly has. Judge has gone on a home run tear and he isn't that far off his historic pace from last season. In 2022 he hit 6 home runs in April and 12 in May. That means he is a handful of HR's away from being right on pace, with more than a week to go in this month, and take into account his IL stint.

Here Comes The Judge ... Again

The other good news for Judge backers is that Ohtani has looked absolutely terrible on the bump. Shohei Ohtani has now allowed 17 runs in his last

25 innings. He’s also allowed 8 home runs, and walked 7 in his last 4 starts.Bettors have yet to adjust to how awful he has looked recently. Yes, it might

be tough to catch Shohei, but Judge is back to looking like his 2022 self and there will never be a higher value on his MVP odds.

Never Nervous Matt Mervis THE ROTOMILLTM

BY CHUCK T. Fantasy Sports

The story doesn’t change each year in fantasy baseball. Looking at the standings prior to June 1st each year can be a futile exercise. The baseball played in June, July, August and September will determine your league’s champion that season. But yes, the 87 stolen bases put up through 7 weeks by my dynasty league’s 2nd place team are in the books and those steals aren’t going anywhere. Those stolen bases are in the bank. And countless times you have heard me to deposit saves and stolen bases because once banked they are yours and can’t be taken away. Batting average and on base can drop and sometimes they can even crash as have mine in the late stages of May. But I have an ‘11’ in the speed category, and the league leader’s 87 is not making me quit.

I trail the league leader by a grand total of 12 stolen bases. But Jazz Chisholm is going to be out 4-6 weeks. When Chisholm returns there is no guarantee he will have a green light to steal bases. Jazz has stolen 14 bases in 7 weeks. If he is out 6 weeks, that could be 12 stolen bases that I am

looking for. What could interrupt my plans? To be honest, a lot can happen. A leg injury to Esteury Ruiz would kill my chances. Ruiz pulls up at the end of Week #7 with 23 steals. He is on pace for over 75 stolen bases. The major league leader in 2022 did it with only 43 stolen bases. The rule changes enacted for 2023 limiting the number of pickoff attempts are working as expected. Stolen bases are up across the board.

But if you didn’t pick up Esteury Ruiz in your draft, or

had him stored in your dynasty league, what do I do? Last week, I mentioned David Hamilton of the Boston Red Sox as a candidate who could transform your speed totals. He stole 71 bases in 2022, and just like Ruiz he has stolen 23 bases in the current season on fewer at bats and games played.

C.J. Abrams of the Washington Nationals is clocking in with only 5 stolen bases but got out of the gate very slowly this year. He has the top end speed to steal a lot more bases than he has thus far. But this is the league lead we are

talking about. The team with the fewest stolen bases has 25. The team that is in 7th has 47 stolen bases. To go from 1 point in steals to 6 in steals is only represented by 22 stolen bases? Come on, David Hamilton alone could move you up 5 points in the standings. That could be the difference between winning prize fund money and not winning prize fund money.

My analysis of the dreaded save statistic is exactly the same. A top flight stolen base guy has to average 3 steals per week to lead the league. But a top flight saves guy can historically average no better than 2 saves per week. 25 weeks of baseball at 2 saves per week works out to 50 saves. That rarely happens. The league leader in my dynasty league has 21 saves. And we do have a team that has totally punted on the category and has not gotten a single save this season. But saves do come in bunches and closers are losing their jobs each and every week of the season. Some situations worth monitoring.

Some very smart analysts are picking up Nick Anderson of

the Atlanta Braves in a vote of no confidence in Raisel Iglesias. I could take this plunge at any moment. It makes sense on paper. Yennier Cano of Baltimore has flashed closer like ability. But what you don’t want to do when you are trying to catch up in saves is to get bogged down in closerby-committee situations. It’s hard to believe, but the N.Y. Yankees have a committee situation. Clay Holmes, Michael King and Wandy Peralta have all gotten into save situations and converted them into saves. Committee situations exist in Arizona, Chicago (NL), and Oakland. Some analysts are also saying to avoid the Mets and David Robertson. I think that is bad advice. Hold on to Robertson. When all is said and done Robertson will have converted over 75% of the chances for the Mets. Good fantasy baseball owners never get nervous. Have faith in Matt Mervis. He has yet to struggle with a demotion at any level of pro baseball thus far. The Cubs just DFA’ed Eric Hosmer. They are showing faith in the rookie. So should you.

ON THE SEA

BY VINCENT PICA, COMMODORE

OK, so you’re done fishing and you turn to the engine and give the key a turn. Ominously, you don’t hear a thing. Or… she turns over but as soon as you give it forward propulsion, she stalls. No one is going home soon. Before you call for a tow, here are some tips.

Calling for Help v Self-Help

Any good tower only wants to help where help is needed. We’re graced with real pro’s out on our bays and creeks and they will go out of their way to ensure that they are providing help when and where help is needed. But gone are the days of smacking the old 2-stoke with a hammer and she starts up with a cough and puff. These new engines are nearly as complex as car engines have become – and they are plenty complex!

Fuel, Out Of…

I would be willing to wager that the largest source of boats not getting underway is lack of fuel. This is really not something you should let happen. Use the “1/3rd1/3rd-1/3rd” Rule. Plan on using a 1/3rd of your fuel to get there, a 1/3rd to get home and 1/3rd in reserve for the unpredictable

events plus the predictable headwinds. How do you know how much fuel that is? Well, the least predictable device on your boat, in my measured opinion, is your fuel gauge. This is why I have been constantly recommending to skippers that they keep records of their fuel consumption –engine time when you started, engine time when you refueled, calculate gallons/hour consumed. And write it in a log. I have been since day-1 on every boat. It is also a good indication if there is something that needs addressing when fuel consumption stops being predictable, i.e., you’re using more than you should be by historical standards. I really don’t recommend storing fuel in cans aboard as a back-up. It just seems so much smarter and so much safer to keep and use your log.

Fuel Issues

If the engine stalls or you feel a real “drag” when you get underway, stop and do some quick checking. You might have picked up some fishing line which is now wrapped around your prop’s base. This can be a serious problem as it can compromise the shaft seal and allow water to enter the lower unit. If it does, it will

Before You Throw in the Towel, Give it a Go!

push out the oil. If that happens, you have a real problem. You may have plenty of gas but if the primer bulb is contracted, there is a blockage somewhere causing a vacuum – which can be as simple as the fuel vent being covered, blocked or actually manually shut. Check that. If the bulb is easy to squeeze but doesn’t get hard when doing so, this also can be a real problem. It may be as simple as a leak somewhere that is allowing air into the system or as serious as a pinhole in the line and gas is leaking into your boat. Use your nose – asap!

Electrical Things

Something that you should keep aboard is a volt meter and that is what I reach for when the engine won’t turn over. If the battery isn’t charged correctly, the engine won’t start by turning the key. If the engine is light enough, you can start the engine by spinning the flywheel with a pull cord. Or, if you have jumper cables aboard like you probably do with your car, a kindly mariner can give you a jump-start.

If the battery is charged but the engine won’t turn over, check the connections. Remove the wires,

clean the posts and try again. Also, some manufacturers are using butterfly nuts as connectors to make it easy to service the batteries. It also makes it easy to shake loose under the stresses of a boat pounding into head seas. Another culprit is that the killswitch lanyard has come loose and you just didn’t notice. This isn’t all that it could be but, enough times, it is.

Cooling/Oil

If the overheating alarm goes on, stop the boat, turn off the engine and get the cover off. Wait for the engine to cool down. If you can turn the key and the alarm hasn’t started, the engine has cooled – and now the detective work begins. First, start the engine and see if the tell-tale water stream is still spritzing out. If not, or only partially, stop the engine. See if you can get something sturdy (60-pound monofilament?) into the tell-tale and clear it out. Even better, often the tell-tale is integrated into the water plug that you remove to give the engine a water flushing. Take the plug out and then ream that monofilament into the tell-tale so you just don’t push the blocking material back into the engine. If no water is still

coming out of the tell-tale, tilt the engine up and check the intakes. They could easily be blocked with seaweed. If the intakes are clear and the tell-tale is also clear, it is one of two problems. One, the impeller is compromised and that isn’t likely to get fixed at sea. The other is that the sensor itself is faulty. This happened to me once when I was delivering a 2-engine vessel. We were 10 miles out and the overheating warning came on one of the engines. I had to respect the over-heating signal so I proceeded on one screw until we were within hailing distance of the dock. I fired up the second engine, which still registered as being over-heating after 30 minutes of cooling down (which made me think that it WAS the sensor) and laid her up against the dock.

VETERANS WAY Veteran Support is More Than Just Lip Service - Part II

BY REV. FREDERICK MILLER. PH.D.

Back when George Washington was still a general he stated; “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.”

Show You Support by Providing Transportation

One way to support Veterans in your area is to provide necessary transportation so that Veterans can get to medical and mental health treatment appointments and supplies.

The VA has a volunteer transportation network (https://www.volunteer.va.gov/ VolTransNetwork.asp) that allows volunteers to donate their time and/or the use of their vehicle for Veterans in need. Donated vehicles may also be used or accepted by the program. On a very local level, just ask the veteran in your neighborhood if they need transportation.

Record the Stories of a Veteran for Future Generations Many older Veterans just want someone to listen, and showing Veteran support can simply mean recording the stories of the Vet for future generations to hear.

The Veterans History Project (https://www.loc.gov./vets/) was started so that the stories of our brave Veterans would not be lost. Whether you take part in the Library of Congress project or you do it, record a Vet’s story for history. Print it out and have the Veteran proof read it. Tell the Vet how proud you are to know the Vet.

Perform Home Repairs or Household Chores for Veteran in need

One terrific way to support Veterans is to perform home repairs or household chores for a Veteran in need.

Many Veterans in your area may need help with household chores or home repairs because of disability, a severe injury, or even a lack of financial resources.

When you help out in this way, you will gain an incredible sense of satisfaction while helping repay a Veteran who deserves it.

Provide Food For Veterans

Many Veterans are hungry and a home cooked meal will provide them with much needed nutrition. Even Vets that are not lacking food will benefit

from a meal or a homemade batch of cookies. It shows them that someone cares. Contact your local church or Veterans organization to see who might appreciate your culinary delights.

Visit a Vet with your Pet It is a well known fact that animals provide emotional and physical

benefits. Animal-assisted therapy can significantly reduce pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue in people with a range of health problems. Dogs are the most commonly used for therapy and service. A well behaved dog can be able to bring some affection and calmness into a Vet’s life.

OF MEN & ANGELS

BY DOMINICK FORTE

Stories of God’s most powerful Archangels are told to us in the sacred scriptures of the Bible. They have an extensive heritage in interceding and intervening in human affairs. This trio consists of Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael who have a devout following among the faithful. Their feast day is celebrated on September 29th.

The Old Testament describes Michael as the protector of Israel. Chapter 7 of the Acts of the Apostles tells us that he was the angel who spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.

Michael went head-tohead against the devil when he led his rebellion against God. Michael defeated the beast and the angels siding with it. Thereafter he was given the right to judge souls seeking entry into heaven. Many medieval images show

Michael weighing human souls brought before him for judgement. He is very often depicted vanquishing the dragon.

Michael is the patron of battles, soldiers, mariners, and all uniformed services as well as those individuals believed to be possessed by Satan and other evil spirits. He is often invoked during exorcisms.

In the 5th century Michael appeared in visions at Monte Gargano in Apulia, Italy. Many churches worldwide, especially those built on hilltops, are dedicated to him, such as Mont-St.Michel in France.

In the Old Testament the Archangel Gabriel was present at the burial of Moses. He visited the prophet Daniel to give him a heads up on the coming of the Messiah. He also helped

Daniel interpret a dream which rescued the Israelites.

In the New Testament Gabriel was charged with telling the old priest Zachariah that his elderly wife Elizabeth would bear a son who would play an important role in salvation history. This son was the cousin of Jesus, John the Baptist.

This was a precursor to the most important message Gabriel delivered. It was to

The Apocryphal Book of Tobit reports that assuming the vessel of a man, Raphael served as a guide to the young traveler Tobias. They traveled to recover a debt owed to the young man’s blind father Tobit. Once at their destination Raphael defeats the demon Asmodeous who had been victimizing a young maiden named Sarah by killing her husbands before her marriages could be consummated. Under the protection of Raphael, Sarah and Tobias were happily married. Once back home, Raphael directs Tobias in restoring his father’s sight. Raphael is the patron of healing and travelers.
