Holbrook Couple Charged with Illegal Dumping in The Mastic Beach Wetlands

A Holbrook couple found out how serious local officials are about illegal dumping, especially in sensitive wetland areas, after they were busted by the Suffolk district attorney and are facing $5,000 in fines and thousands more in cleanup costs.

Cited for unlawfully disposing of broken concrete and other debris in Mastic Beach were Fabio Monasterolo, 51, and his wife, Judith Monasterolo, 55, of Holbrook, according to District Attorney Raymond Tierney. “This flagrant abuse of our delicate ecosystem is a crime against our wildlife and every law-abiding taxpayer who supports these public lands,” he said.

When a witness saw what the defendants were doing, she began taking photographs of the couple and the waste that they had dumped. Defendant Judith Monasterolo, who was in the passenger seat of a Dodge Ram truck, allegedly then gave the witness two middle fingers as Fabio Monasterolo drove them away from the scene, Tierney reported.

“Illegal dumping in our wetlands is a crime that we take very seriously,” said Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine. “Those who commit these crimes will be caught, charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I commend the brave actions of the residents who took it upon themselves to photograph and report this activity to the Suffolk County Police. Together, we are committed to protecting our environment and we will not tolerate illegal dumping anywhere in the town.”

Walter Meshenberg, the

Creek Defender who patrols the Mastic Peninsula wetlands, said there are many eyes out there watching for illegal dumpers such as the Monasterolo couple.

“We are acutely aware of the harmful activities that have been going on in our community and are constantly on the lookout,” Meshenberg said. “This really shows that if you try to dump on us, you will be caught.” The South Shore’s tidal wetlands are a vital part of the area’s ecosystem and the pollution caused by illegal dumping can harm plants and wildlife, as well as local water quality, according to the Creek Defender.

Investigators utilize camera and plate reading technology to curtail and catch dumping in these areas and along the roadways leading to them, according to town Councilman Daniel Panico, who joined the district attorney and Suffolk Legislator James Mazzarella at a press conference announcing the case. “Much of what is dumped can be disposed of legally for little to no charge. There will be zero tolerance for illegal dumping,” Panico said, adding, “Thank you to the individuals who care and who take pride in your community. The good caring people vastly outweigh the bad apples amongst us.”

Panico noted that the Monasterolos face penalties that were recently doubled for illegal dumping in Brookhaven and will also be pursued for the costs of town employees and equipment used to clean up their alleged mess.

“This crime was solved with the help of some of our brave neighborhood watch folks,” Mazzarella said. “We thank them

for their vigilance and encourage all residents that if you see something, say something. We will also continue utilizing the latest surveillance technology to protect our communities.”

Assisting in the case along with Brookhaven and the DA’s Biological, Environmental, and Animal Safety Team was the state Department of Environmental

Conservation. “DEC does not tolerate illegal dumping of any kind particularly in Long Island’s ecologically important wetland areas,” said Commissioner Basil Seggos. “This is a prime example of how joint cooperation between state and local law enforcement agencies can hold polluters Accountable.”

The illegal dumpers face

charges of Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree, a Class E felony, and multiple related environmental conservation violations. Under current state law, the offenses charged are not considered bail eligible, so the defendants were released on their own recognizance. They are due back in court June 13.

$1 Million Pledged to Connect Local Businesses to Sewers

ByRobertChartuk

Protecting Suffolk’s water supply took another step forward as $1 million in county funds were pledged to defray the cost of businesses connecting to the $223.9 million Forge River Watershed Sewer Project currently under construction.

“This new pilot program will reduce the financial burden on our small businesses along Montauk Highway in Shirley and Mastic who are planning to hook up to the new sewer district,” said Legislator James Mazzarella, sponsor of the funds. “Wastewater infrastructure is expensive. If we are serious about sewering Suffolk County, government must assist in subsidizing these programs, not only for our residents, but for our businesses as well.”

“Just as we have worked to make the replacement of outdated septic systems and cesspools with the latest technologies affordable to homeowners, we need to ensure it is affordable for our small business owners who are still recovering from the pandemic to be able to hook up to local sewer systems,” said County Executive Steve Bellone at a Mastic press conference announcing the county commitment. “Not only will this pilot program cover at least half of the cost of hookup, but it also affords business owners with competitive interest rates to finance the rest.”

While the county is taking advantage of millions of dollars in local, state and federal funds to build the new sewers, the cost for individual connections to the system falls to residents and business owners. Grants of up to $15,000 will be available, which will cover an estimated half of the cost, Mazzarella noted. Dime Bank is one local lending institution that will be available in working with the merchants to help make up the difference.

With about 70 percent of Suffolk relying on cesspools, bringing sewer service to homes and commercial establishments has long been the goal of local officials and environmentalists. Bellone has been on a tear lately

announcing funds for sewer initiatives in Mastic Beach, Smithtown, Kings Park and other areas that have been clamoring for sewers for more than a half-century. Wastewater from out-dated septic systems has had a dramatic impact on Long Island’s water resources. Forge River has been deemed the most polluted river in the state due to contamination from nitrogen, which is also blamed for the brown tides and other algae blooms local waterways suffer on almost an annual basis.

The Forge River project, expected to be completed in 2025, will bring sewer services to nearly 1,900 homes and businesses in the Mastic-Shirley

area. Officials are also looking to bring sewer service to the Neighborhood Road Business District in Mastic Beach where a massive project by the Beechwood Organization has been proposed to rebuild the entire downtown area.

“We’re racking up a number of successes when it comes to water quality and protecting our environment. I’m thrilled at the progress that’s being made,” said Pattersquash Civic Association President Frank Fugarino, who stressed that the local creeks, the Great South Bay, and ultimately the ocean, are impacted by what happens on the land.

Funds for the hook ups will come from the county's Water Quality Protection and Restoration Program Fund, monies that are derived from a quarter-percent sales tax approved by voters in a special referendum. The county has received state approval to go before the voters for an eighth of a cent sales tax increase to fund water quality efforts, but the legislature has not yet acted on the measure. (A previous South Shore Press article indicated that the existing quarter percent sales tax was devoted to sewers, when in fact it is for environmental purposes.)

According to the county officials, the pilot program is expected to help 65 businesses with 25 or fewer employees. Applicants must meet various requirements, including not

Animal Welfare a Priority in Cruelty Cases

ByC.E.Parry

Rescuing animals from abusive conditions is the mission of a first-of-its-kind partnership between Suffolk law enforcement and FACTS, an animal welfare organization that will assist the county in cruelty cases.

The Fund for Animal Cruelty Treatment of Suffolk will be on call with the Suffolk Sheriff and Police Department to provide money for veterinary care, food, medication, shelter and transportation, as well as help find homes for abused and neglected animals, according to District Attorney Raymond Tierney, who announced the partnership last week.

The need to take care of cats, rabbits, birds, and other pets was

highlighted in October when Suffolk law enforcement was called in by Brookhaven Town to help shut down a Miller Place hoarder home where hundreds of animals were being kept in deplorable conditions. Called in to assist, the ASPCA mobilized a team of volunteers to find homes for the animals and arrange for treatment.

According to FACTS, animal abuse is a "gateway crime" that many times involves abuse of humans as well. It has gained national attention from law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, after 35 years of research showed it is a predictor of domestic violence. Women, children, disabled, and elderly persons are most at risk of domestic violence with the perpetrators also found to be

abusive to animals.

“Prosecuting an animal cruelty case is unlike other crimes in that evidence of consists of a living, breathing animal that needs to be cared for while the case or investigation is pending,” Tierney explained. “Abused or neglected animals require a significant amount of resources, including veterinary care. We have partnered with FACTS, a non-profit organization, so that the care can be funded by donations,” he said, adding, “This effort will ensure proper care for voiceless victims of abuse.”

Founded by Joyce Glass and Barbara Dennihy, FACTS “meets an identified need during the investigation and prosecution of cases, focusing on victims without a voice,” the Stony Brook

having any open property tax liens. Applications for the grants can be made beginning this fall.

The initial $1 million will allow the County to gauge the need for additional funding, identify other potential funding sources, and evaluate what other factors may be relevant in determining how best to allocate future funding for the connection of commercial and business properties, according to Bellone.

“Our main goal is to advocate for all of our small businesses in the community and this pilot program is a huge step forward in helping out our local businesses obtain some sort of financial assistance for the hookups to the coming sewer project,” said Frank Montanez Jr., president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Mastics & Shirley. “We look forward to this financial help and to the finalization of the sewer project to bring much needed economic development to our area."

Bellone also recently announced a commitment of $28 million to expand the Forge River Sewer project.

Joining Mazzarella and the county executive in making the announcement at Mama Lisa’s Restaurant were county Legislator Bridget Fleming, Brookhaven Councilman Dan Panico and town Superintendent of Highways Dan Losquadro.

organization said. “Donations allow us to speak for animal victims by providing the care and treatment they deserve.”

In the Crosshairs: How Illegal Immigration Could Potentially Affect Suffolk County's Black and Latino Populations

Op-edbyRaheemSoto

The Black and Latino communities in Suffolk County have long been integral to the county's social, cultural, and economic fabric. However, they also face unique challenges, some exacerbated by the influx of illegal immigrants.

Firstly, the issue of wage suppression and job competition comes into sharp focus. Due to their legal status, many illegal immigrants accept employment under precarious conditions and below-standard wages. This trend could potentially depress salaries, especially in low-skilled occupations prevalent among some Black and Latino communities leading to heightened job competition, adversely affecting these communities' economic status.

Secondly, public resources can become strained due to illegal immigration. Public schools, healthcare facilities, and social services are under considerable pressure to cater to an expanded populace. Unfortunately, Black and Latino communities, often relying more heavily on these public services, can experience decreased access to and quality of these crucial resources.

Housing is another area where these communities may

be disproportionately affected. With the increase in population due to illegal immigration, the demand for affordable housing rises, leading to increased rents and potential housing shortages. This escalation can disproportionately impact Black and Latino residents, who are likelier to be in the lower income brackets.

There are also social and cultural implications to consider. Despite shared experiences as minority groups, the sudden demographic change can cause social friction. Differences in language, customs, and perceptions can result in misunderstandings and tension within these diverse communities. However, it's essential to understand that these effects are not solely the

result of illegal immigration.

Presiding Officer McCaffrey and the Suffolk County Republican Caucus issued a strong statement on the ongoing illegal immigration crisis, criticizing the Biden administration's policies and vowing to protect the county's residents.

The caucus lambasted the federal government's handling of the situation, asserting that instead of tackling the humanitarian crisis it has created, President Biden seems intent on transferring the responsibility of accepting large numbers of unvetted immigrants to communities across the country.

"Suffolk County is not a sanctuary county, and we will not allow it to become one,"

the caucus declared. The group emphasized that the county cannot bear the weight of what they described as a "massive influx of illegal immigrants."

"The President's lack of enforcement of federal laws at the border has had many negative consequences, including 100,000 fentanyl deaths. Now, put displacing combat Veterans on that list," said Congressman Nick Lalota (NY1), pointing to the adverse effects of the current immigration policy.

The Suffolk County Republican Caucus's statement adds another voice to the chorus calling for immediate action on this pressing issue. As the situation evolves, all eyes will be on the Biden administration to see how it responds to these mounting criticisms and challenges.

While Suffolk County's Black and Latino communities face unique challenges due to illegal immigration, it is a multifaceted issue with numerous contributing factors. By focusing on comprehensive immigration reform and addressing systemic problems, it is possible to mitigate these negative impacts while fostering a more inclusive and equitable community for all residents.

Water Authority Podcast Reviews Need for Federal Funds

ByRobertChartuk

The local need for a share of the $1 trillion federal infrastructure fund approved by Congress last year was the topic of conversation in a recent episode of “What About Water,” a special podcast of the Suffolk County Water Authority.

Hosted by authority Director Jeff Szabo, the episode features representatives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and focuses on upgrading the nation’s water supply infrastructure and the elimination of contaminants such as lead and polyfluoroalkyls, toxic chemicals known as PFAS that are turning up more and more in the local drinking water.

“The challenges facing the country's water infrastructure are immense,” said Szabo, who noted that the $1 trillion federal commitment has made this

“water’s moment in history.”

According to the director, new EPA standards under consideration for PFAS will put between 50-100 water authority wells above acceptable limits for the chemicals which have seen widespread use in nonstick cookware, water-resistant clothing and fire fighting foam. He appealed to the EPA officials

for assistance in helping the SCWA meet the new standards, as well as upgrading Suffolk’s water system.

Speaking on the podcast, the EPA’s Aisha Sexton-Simms, supervisor of the State Revolving Fund Program, said $84 million has been allocated to New York under the infrastructure bill so far with the EPA looking to work

with local agencies to facilitate the flow of cash. She noted that the funds, in the form of grants, will lower the impact on ratepayers as system improvement efforts, including new mains, tanks, testing, and filtration systems, are pursued.

Szabo noted that the monies set aside for water resources in the infrastructure bill will be the most ever by the federal government and don’t require a state match. With the funds come EPA requirements for PFAS testing and reporting to show that funded projects are having a positive impact on water quality.

“The bad news is there is an urgent need to invest in water,” Szabo said. “The good news is the federal government is stepping up to meet the challenge.”

Suffolk County's Leap Forward in Combating Domestic Violence Through Technology

ByRaheemSoto

The Suffolk Police Department's STOP Violence Against Women 2023 program will be strengthened by a $50,000 federal grant. This funding will be utilized to implement a stateof-the-art RAVE/911 system designed to provide victims of violence the capability to swiftly reach out to law enforcement, no matter where the location is.

Suffolk County legislators, recognizing the potential of the RAVE/911 system, have championed this life-altering initiative. This technology is poised to forge a resilient bridge between victims and law enforcement and enable swift, crucial intervention when every second counts. The potential of this system to change outcomes and save lives cannot be overstated.

The enthusiasm from law enforcement is equally encouraging. The RAVE/911 system does more than merely bridge the communication gap

between victims and police. It provides vital information about the assailant, arming responding officers with essential knowledge that will aid

them in effectively managing these high-risk situations. The deployment of this cutting-edge technology underscores Suffolk County's staunch commitment to the safety of its residents, particularly women, resonating with an unequivocal message that they are not alone.

Suffolk County legislature's decision to endorse the formalization of the grant agreement with the state Division of Criminal Justice Services amplifies the power of this initiative. This agreement, more than a mere transaction, is a cementation of a critical partnership, a resounding pledge to a collective commitment to combating violence against women.

By leveraging advanced technology and increased resources, Suffolk County police can respond more effectively and

efficiently to incidents allowing them to provide immediate assistance to those in need, ensuring victims are not left alone in their hour of peril. This decisive move casts Suffolk County as a beacon of hope for survivors of violence, a role model for other jurisdictions to emulate.

Suffolk is rising to meet this challenge, setting a high bar many think other counties should aspire to reach. The origins of the initiative's funding from a federal office dedicated to combating violence against women is a potent reminder of the shared responsibility we all bear in creating a safe environment. It sends a clear message that we are leveraging every resource and every opportunity to confront domestic violence head-on and to protect those most vulnerable in our society.

Unspoken Concerns: Business Owners Avoid Commenting on Suffolk County's Immigration Challenges

ByRaheemSoto

Rumors of undocumented migrants moving into Suffolk County has provoked a silent debate among local business owners, many of whom are wary of taking a public stance.

This reticence is not due to apathy but rather from the complex nature of the issue and the potential implications for the county's economy. The delicate balance between this situation's possible benefits and challenges has made it a hot-button topic cloaked in caution.

Undocumented migration is a multi-faceted issue, and our county is not immune to its complexities. Some business owners see the potential for a boost in local economic activities due to increased consumer demand, and others fear an additional strain on resources, infrastructure, and public services.

However, many business owners preferred to remain off the record when approached for comments. "It is a sensitive subject. I don't want to create an impression that I'm against people coming here for a better life. But yes, I worry about how it might affect my business," said a local restaurant owner, requesting anonymity.

Others voiced concerns about potential labor market changes and fears that the local labor

market might be disrupted. If there's a surge in cheap, unregulated labor, it could undercut wages and job security for everyone else.

While some anticipate economic benefits, an off-therecord cosmetologist suggested, "More people could mean more customers. Plus, diversity often brings fresh perspectives, spurring innovation and growth."

Suffolk County resident and paralegal Ellen K. Cheung DiDomenico shared her insights on the issue and its potential impact on the local community. She expressed her concerns and frustrations regarding the policy choices made by officials in New York City, which can directly affect Suffolk, turning it into a de facto border county despite its distance from the southern border.

Cheung called upon the Mayor of New York City to take responsibility for the consequences of these policies and allocate the necessary funds and resources to address the challenges. As someone who immigrated legally with her family at a young age, she emphasized the importance of following the proper immigration process and the need for others to do the same.

"I believe that illegal immigration undermines the

system's integrity and discourages those patiently waiting to come to the United States legally," she stated. Reflecting on a recent press conference she attended, she felt that the media did not accurately convey her message.

Underscoring the importance of distinguishing between legal and illegal migration, urging for clarity in messaging and signage, she suggested that signs should specifically read "Illegal Immigrants Welcome" to avoid confusion and ensure a more accurate representation of the issue.

Expressing her opposition to granting the right to vote to illegal immigrants, she said: "Voting is a privilege reserved for citizens." She emphasized the importance of upholding

the integrity of the electoral system and preventing potential exploitation or manipulation.

When asked about the reluctance of some individuals to openly discuss the issue due to fears of being canceled or black-listed by advocates of open immigration, she expressed frustration over the lack of open dialogue and the suppression of differing opinions, calling for a more inclusive and respectful exchange of ideas.

According to political science professor Nicholas Giordano, "New York, especially Long Island, is ill-prepared to handle the surge of migrants and illegal immigrants. We faced difficulties in 2014 when dealing with a surge of child migrants, but the current wave is much

larger and more widespread."

Giordano raises an important question: "At what point do we prioritize the well-being of American citizens and legal permanent residents? Many families are already struggling financially, and we are witnessing a rise in homelessness. Yet, estimates suggest that it will cost taxpayers between $90 to $180 billion to provide shelter, food, education, and healthcare to those entering the country, many of whom are doing so illegally."

Highlighting the strain on the education system, Giordano emphasizes, "In New York State, we spend an average of $25,000 per student annually. Our schools are already grappling with the consequences of the pandemic, with students experiencing significant learning loss and social isolation. Introducing thousands of new students, many of whom are academically behind and face language barriers, will only further burden our education system, which lacks the necessary resources to meet these demands."

One thing is certain: Suffolk County is on the precipice of change. As the debate continues, its outcome will be closely watched by other counties across the nation grappling with similar concerns.

New York taxpayers, among the most overburdened in the nation, were hit hard in the pocketbook when the federal government capped their deductions for state and local taxes.

Known as SALT, the deduction allowed property owners to avoid paying federal income tax on money used to pay state and local taxes, an irony referred to as “double taxation.” The deduction was capped at $10,000 in 2017 under the so-called “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” angering taxpayers on Long Island who pay enormous property, sales and other taxes.

Congressman Nick LaLota, elected in November, set out to reinstate the SALT deductions with a bill of his own called the SALT Fairness and Deficit Reduction Act, which would effectively bring the deduction to pre-2017 levels, while at the same time reducing the federal deficit.

“The cap on the SALT deduction has caused significant hardship for Long Islanders and in a time of such economic uncertainty, working families

need support,” LaLola said in introducing his bill, which is also supported by Congressman Andrew Garbarino. “I am doing my part to make Long Island more affordable by seeing to it that New Yorkers get more of their SALT deduction back,” he said, adding, “These taxes inflict a double penalty and unfairly punish middle- and workingclass families.”

According to LaLota, “New York State has the dubious distinction of having the highest combined property, sales, and income taxes. While many New Yorkers are fleeing to low-tax states like Florida, the rest of us continue to plead with our

S.A.L.T. Deduction Sought Skilled

representatives in Albany to provide us tax relief.”

“We hate to be taxed twice,” said Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine. “What we pay in property taxes, we should be allowed to deduct from our overall income tax. This is really hurting residents and it’s hurting the value of their real estate.”

LaLota’s bill would raise and extend the SALT deduction to $60K for single filers and $120K for joint filers beginning in 2023 and lasting until December 31st, 2032, also indexed to inflation.

“Additionally, we must take definitive action to address our deficit,” LaLota continued. “As a

member of the bipartisan SALT Caucus, I am proud to introduce my common sense legislation, which responsibly provides tax relief for middle-class families

while cutting costs down the road. I look forward to working across the aisle to make life more affordable on Long Island.”

Local Hero Memorialized in Albany

ByRobertChartuk

Among those added to the state Emergency Medical Services Memorial in Albany last week was a local hero, Gregory C. Miglino Sr., the Captain of Special Operations with the South Country Ambulance who died in the line of duty.

The ceremony, with Gov. Kathy Hochul and local officials, was

attended by the captain’s widow, Susan Miglino, his son, Gregory Miglino, Jr., who currently serves as chief of the ambulance company, and his grandson, Gregory Miglino, III, also an EMT.

“Our department and my family were both deeply honored to stand with other New Yorkers and watch as Captain Miglino was added to the long list of public

History of the Jews on the East End

safety members who have given their lives in the service of others,” said Chief Miglino. The memorial service, at the Empire State Plaza, was part of an entire week devoted to recognizing and remembering the state’s emergency service workers.

Throughout state history, 120 EMS providers have been identified and honored as having died in the Line of Duty. That number includes the eight names added to the memorial at this year’s ceremony.

“We are truly blessed to have Captain Miglino and many others like him who step up without hesitation to serve their communities, their neighbors, and their friends,” said Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano, an emergency services volunteer himself who attended the Albany ceremony. “These are the ones who answer the call for help no matter the situation. Sadly, as with our local hero, Captain Gregory Miglino, some make the ultimate sacrifice in doing so.”

The Special Operations Captain succumbed to injuries sustained while treating a patient at the scene of a motor vehicle accident in 2007.

Every year since 2004, the names of those who died in the line of duty have been added to the

memorial’s Roll of Honor. This year, seven other heroes, all having served with the Fire Department of New York, were enshrined alongside Captain Miglino. The EMS Memorial features a large granite tablet with a graceful and flowing "Tree of Life" engraved into its surface. “This is in keeping with the theme of the National EMS Memorial, with the ‘leaves’ on our New York ‘tree’ in the shape of the ‘Star of Life,’ the national symbol of EMS,” as Assemblyman DeStefano described the tablet. In honor of each member who falls in the line of duty, an EMS "star" in stainless steel with polished lettering and

trim will be placed on the tree. Each of these special stars bear the member's name, organization, and date of death, DeStefano explained.

“Every one of these individuals and those who came before them and those who will follow are all heroes and deserve our gratitude,” state Senator Dean Murray said at the Empire Plaza memorial. “May you all rest in peace.”

Also traveling to Albany for the service was Brookhaven Town Councilman Michael Loguercio. “I am honored to be here in the shadow of these great heroes,” Loguercio said. “My heart goes out to them and their families.”

Communities Pay Respect to The Fallen on Memorial Day

ByRobertChartuk

Communities across Suffolk

turned out over the Memorial Day weekend to pay respect to the fallen heroes who gave all in service to their country.

“On this day, forever consecrated to our heroic dead, we are assembled once again to express sincere reverence,” said VFW Post 414 Commander Robert Galbraith

at a ceremony after the Center Moriches parade. “Our presence here is in solemn commemoration of all these men and women—an expression of their tribute to their devotion to duty, to their courage and patriotism.”

Also speaking at the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery service, which features a granite memorial honoring those who made the ultimate commitment,

Center Moriches

was Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine. He noted that Veterans Day in November is set aside for those who served; Memorial Day is for those who gave their lives.

“When you think back to all the people who stepped forward from the very first battle at Lexington and Concord right up to the present day who decided to take up arms to defend our country and put their

lives in jeopardy so that this country could live free, you are humbled,” Supervisor Romaine said. “To all the Americans who died in service to their country, we stand here today with one message: We remember and we are thankful.”

In addition to the Center Moriches parade and memorial service, events were held throughout the area, including Greenwood Village,

Patchouge

Farmingville, Holbrook, Patchogue, Mastic, Mastic Beach, Middle Island, Setauket, and Smithtown, as well as the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach.

Volunteers also placed American flags at the National Cemeteries in Calverton and Farmingdale. Flags placed at Mt. Pleasant were donated by Mike Cavanaugh at East Moriches Hardware.

Police Seek Mastic Beach Man in Killing

Greenwood Village

ByRobertChartuk

Suffolk Police have put out a bulletin for a man they say killed Alex Smith, a father of four who was shot in a parking lot off Neighborhood Road in Mastic Beach in what initial reports say may have been a domestic altercation.

Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney K. Harrison joined Homicide Squad detectives to ask for the public’s help in locating Joseph Scalafani of Mastic Beach after detectives determined he

shot Smith, 30 of Mastic, in the early hours of May 20.

Scalafani, 32, fled the scene in a vehicle, according to police. He is known to frequent Mastic, Mastic Beach and Shirley.

Smith was warmly remembered by family and friends in services last week. “We are absolutely devastated by the loss of Alex,” his family said in a GiveSendGo campaign seeking funds to cover his services. Smith, who worked for his family's tree business, leaves

behind four children ranging from 9 months to 9 years old. He has eight brothers and sisters, including Joe Smith Jr., a professional fighter known as the Irish Bomber. Donations can be made online at: https://givesendgo.com/ GAKBC.

Anyone with information on Scalafani’s location is asked to call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. Crime Stoppers offers a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest.

The Red Poppy, a Memorial Day Symbol of Remembrance

ByRobertChartuk

The red poppy, ubiquitous around Memorial Day, traces its roots as a “Flower of Remembrance” to World War I and a poem by a Canadian surgeon who was struck by the blooming of the crimson flower in fields where so many had been killed.

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below,” wrote Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae of the war torn fields in Belgium. He continued:

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

First published in a London magazine and then in the Allied nations, it inspired two women who, in separate countries, would play a role in making the poppy a symbol of Memorial Day.

University of Georgia professor Moïna Michael wrote a poem in 1918 in response to McCrae’s, titled “We Shall Keep Faith,” and started wearing a red poppy in honor of the troops. She then started making and selling the symbolic red poppies to raise money for veterans.

Meanwhile, in France, Anna Guérin came up with the same idea and organized poppy

drives to raise money for widows, orphans and veterans, as well as fund France’s postwar restoration efforts. She turned her idea into an “InterAllied Poppy Day” and started Poppy Days worldwide selling the fundraising flowers in various Allied countries. Poppy factories sprung up, many employing disabled servicemen to make the silk and paper blooms.

The Friday before Memorial Day has been deemed National

Poppy Day and funds are still being raised by any number of veteran causes. Poppies are handmade by veterans as part of their therapeutic rehabilitation and distributed across the country by the American Legion Auxiliary in exchange for donations that assist disabled and hospitalized veterans.

The First World War lasted from 1914-1918 and was one of the deadliest global conflicts in history. Fighting

occurred throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. An estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military action, hunger, and disease, according to a Wikipedia entry. Millions more died as a result of genocide, while the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war.

The United States entered the war in 1917 and within a year it was over as Germany and the other “Central Powers” surrendered under the Armistice of 11 November 1918. The Paris Peace Conference imposed various settlements on the defeated powers, the best-known being the Treaty of Versailles.

The horrors of the conflict were detailed in the novel, “All Quiet on the Western Front,” by Erich Maria Remarque, which has been made into several movies.

Restoring Visual Harmony in The Town of Smithtown: Residents Call for Action

ByRaheemSoto

In communities throughout Suffolk County, maintaining a delicate balance between commercial interests and preserving a visually appealing environment is an ongoing challenge. Recently, in the historic Town of Smithtown, this issue has reached a critical point as residents unite against the proliferation of commercial signs that they argue are cluttering their beloved town and detracting from its natural beauty.

At a recent town board meeting, a concerned resident presented a powerful visual testimony—a series of photographs showcasing the extent of the problem. It was an impromptu exhibition that shed light on what many consider an eyesore. The presentation illuminated the deficiencies of current sign removal efforts and highlighted the broader economic implications. The guerrilla-style advertising strategy, where businesses place signs across public spaces, reaps substantial benefits at the expense of the town's visual

integrity.

Residents are now advocating for stricter regulatory measures. They believe increasing fines for violations of the town's Commercial Sign Code, as outlined in Chapter 111 of the Town Code, will serve as a significant deterrent. First-time offenders could face penalties ranging from warnings to fines of up to $250. Town officials have issued a stern warning— repeated non-compliance will not be tolerated, with penalties for subsequent violations

escalating to fines of up to $1,000 or even the forced removal of the offending signs.

While advocating for stricter enforcement of the Commercial Sign Code, community-minded residents are also exploring hands-on solutions. Proposals for forming volunteer groups to assist in removing unauthorized signs have been put forward, demonstrating a willingness to collaborate with town officials and take matters into their own hands.

In response to residents'

concerns, town officials have affirmed that unauthorized signage violates the town's codes. They have urged community members to report such infractions, promising prompt attention and removal.

This growing contention reflects a shared sentiment among residents—an unwavering passion for preserving the town's character and beauty. It also underscores the importance of community engagement and shared responsibility for the town's upkeep.

This initiative showcases the local government's dedication to preserving visual harmony in the town and striking a balance between commercial interests and community aesthetics. Strict enforcement of the sign code sends a clear message: preserving the town's character is a shared responsibility, a task that town officials, local businesses, and residents must undertake together.

Businesses are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the town's Commercial Sign Code to avoid violations and their consequences. While the penalties are a significant deterrent, they also underscore the importance of understanding and respecting local regulations. A collective effort involving local businesses, residents, and town officials will ensure that the Town of Smithtown remains a visually appealing place to live, work, and visit without compromising the necessary visibility for local businesses.

Cops Back on Foot in Downtown Mastic Beach

ByRobertChartuk

There will be an uptick in police presence with Suffolk officers back on foot patrol in the Mastic Beach Business District.

At the request of Legislator Jim Mazzarella and local business owners, officers from the county’s Seventh Precinct will hit the sidewalks along Neighborhood Road and the surrounding areas in the renewal of the patrols they’ve provided in the past.

“This is wonderful,” said Ava Torres, owner of Linsa Torr’s Place which had been recently burglarized. “The police officers

are great; we open our doors to them. They can come in any time, get coffee, get a cold drink of water, use the bathroom. I'm very happy to see them.”

“Residents deserve to feel safe and secure in their communities,” Legislator Mazzarella said as he made the rounds with the foot patrol last week. Stopping in local businesses and the Mastics Moriches Shirley Library annex, the legislator chatted it up alongside precinct Inspector William Doherty and officers Jadin Rodriguez and Ryan Kostoff. “You’ll definitely see more of a police presence,” the inspector assured the residents.

“It takes a little from everyone to keep our community safe,” noted business owner Tony Porcelli. “The foot patrols are a big bonus.”

“We see the police on a regular basis,” noted Library Director Kerri Rosalia, “Especially around the time when the kids are coming home from school. Any incidents that we had have been manageable.”

"I strongly support a foot patrol in Mastic Beach," said

Community Turns Out to Take Back 25

ByRobertChartuk

An impressive crowd turned out to Take Back 25 by cleaning up litter and debris along Middle Country Road in Coram and Middle Island.

“It was great to see so many people chipping in to keep their neighborhood clean,” said Assemblyman Joe DeStefano, who joined a number of officials and business owners to give the clean up crew a helping hand. “A community is only as strong as its people and judging from the Take Back 25 turnout, this community is really powerful.”

According to local Realtor Rosalie Hanson, an impetus for the community effort was Legislator Dominick Thorne who was behind the county cleaning up the bus stop near the Route 112 intersection which had become a loitering point and subject of many resident complaints. “Legislator Thorne really turned the tide and got the community behind the effort to take better care of the area,” Hanson said.

Organizing her members in cleaning up the state route was Gail Lynch-Bailey, president of the Middle Island Civic Association. She was joined

by volunteers with the Coram Civic, boy and girl scouts and other local groups, in addition to Suffolk Police and the area’s fire and ambulance companies. Carters with Brookhaven Town also helped with the removal effort.

Among the elected officials stuffing garbage bags were Senator Dean Murray,

Assemblyman Ed Flood, and Town Council Members Jane Bonner and Mike Loguercio. Everyone rallied around the day’s slogan, “One Longwood Community United.”

“The goal was to make it a cleaner, more presentable, safer community,” Hanson said.

“With the help of everyone, we certainly succeeded.”

Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine. "There's a lot of nonsense that sometimes goes on that people don't want to see. Any type of police presence will discourage illegal activity. The last thing a criminal wants to do is get caught, even though they can get out of jail with the bail laws that the state has."

“This is a fabulous idea, everything helps,” said Dawn Mercedes of the Mercedes Meat Market on Neighborhood Road.

“Everything helps.” The business owner, who said she’s been robbed four times, pointed out that the patrols should cut down on open container violations. “Characters walk around here with beers in their hands; this will deter that.” Mercedes said the enforcement of minor infractions will cut down on larger crimes. “It’s the Broken Windows Theory,” she explained. “People shouldn’t think they can get away with anything.”

Center Moriches Students in ALS Ride for Life

ByRobertChartuk

Center Moriches students took a moment out from their studies to participate in an ALS Ride for Life parade to raise awareness of the debilitating disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease after the former Yankee great, it is a nervous system condition that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS causes loss of muscle control and gets worse over time. The student

march ended at the Clayton Huey school on Main Street and featured the elementary school band along with students with signs of support.

The school also held an Ice Bucket Challenge in honor of ALS Awareness Month alongside members of the ALS Ride for Life organization as they supported their mission of raising research funds, helping patients and families, and raising public awareness.

Fire Officials Review Expansion Plans

ByRobertChartuk

Outgrowing a cramped firehouse and ambulance building, Center Moriches Fire District officials have proposed a new facility that will allow the volunteer department to better serve the residents. They’ve scheduled a June 20 vote on a $17.9-million bond proposition to replace a deteriorated auxiliary building and provide expanded quarters for the Emergency Medical Technician service, among other improvements.

“Our biggest issue is no space for our trucks and very tight areas for our volunteers to maneuver,” said John Delong, chairman of the board of fire commissioners, the elected body chosen by the voters to run the district. “Population has increased and the number of calls we respond to has gone up dramatically. Our facilities need to keep pace with what we are asking our members to do.”

The department’s restricted space can barely accommodate its firetrucks and ambulances had to be specially ordered since standard models wouldn’t fit into the current building, according to Michael Schlosberg, another commissioner, who pointed out that ceilings had to be reconfigured to fit the newest addition to the emergency fleet.

“Today’s ladder trucks are at least 29 percent longer than trucks from 40 years ago, and pumpers are 22 percent longer,” Schlosberg said. “They are too long to be properly accommodated either in the main apparatus bay or the annex building,” he said, adding that the department’s entire communications system is currently situated at basement and ground level and should be elevated based on lessons learned from Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

than building what we actually need,” Schlosberg continued, pointing out that the annex, built in 1988 behind the existing firehouse, would cost $10 million to renovate. Under the proposed plans, it would be replaced by a five-bay facility contiguous to the old building heading east on Main Street. The new addition would also elevate the communications center and accommodate today’s larger equipment and department staff.

“Our emergency medical crew is on call 24-hours a day, sevendays-a-week in a cramped area no bigger than a bedroom,” said Commissioner Edward Stypulkowski, who demonstrated that the district’s ambulances have no more than four inches of clearance when they leave the building. “We’re very fortunate to have community volunteers to answer the calls and serve our residents in emergency situations. We need to accommodate them. Without a volunteer force, the services we provide would be enormously expensive.”

According to the commissioners, the district responded to 539 fire calls last year, an increase of 55 percent from past years, while ambulance calls skyrocketed to 1,778, a 142 percent increase. “The area’s growing number of residents, along with an aging population and influx of group homes and apartment complexes, has dramatically increased the need for emergency services,” Commissioner Paul Fremgen noted. He said the project will bring the firehouse into compliance with current safety codes and standards.

The district’s vehicle fleet has expanded from 10 at the time of the last major expansion in 1970 to 19 today – nearly double – including five fire trucks, three ambulances, two fire police vehicles, an advanced life support first responder, and two rescue boats, according to Commissioner J.R. Saetran. “The lack of separate gear storage space creates dangerously overcrowded conditions for volunteers where vehicles operate – and exposes firefighters to carcinogens,” Saetran said. The current facilities, used not only by department members, but also community groups, violate the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and don't provide separate gear dressing areas for men and women volunteers, he noted.

Society Members Step Up to Preserve Local History

ByRobertChartuk

Standing out among the homes and businesses of Long Island’s sprawling communities are gems of historic significance that serve as reminders of the area’s early settlers. Without the efforts of volunteers dedicated to keeping local history alive, many of these structures would be long gone.

Thankfully, the centuries-old Hawkins House on Montauk Highway in Moriches has such a devoted crew, the members of the Mastic Beach Peninsula Historical Society. They have adopted the centuries-old house and are working tirelessly toward its restoration.

Built in stages starting in the early 1800s, the home rests on nearly five acres at the headwaters of Ely Creek, a tributary of Forge River, and is part of the towndesignated historic district. “We

had been keeping an eye on the property and when it came up for sale, we approached Suffolk County about acquiring it,” said Ed DeGennaro, president of the historical society. “They were able to secure grant money through the Clean Water Act since the property is the starting point of the creek.”

The nearby James Hawkins

Road should be named after Ezra Hawkins since he was the original family member who built the home and settled in the area, according to the society’s vice president, Gary Ollett. The family, originally from England, came to Long Island via Boston in the 1600s, and many generations of Hawkins can be traced to them. The historic

Hawkins-Downs Cemetery on James Hawkins Road is the resting place of various family members, including those who fought in the Revolutionary War.

It was during the war that Zachary Hawkins took in the cattle of Col. William Tangier Smith when the Manor of St. George in Mastic was occupied by British troops, recounted the society’s secretary, Mike Lubrano.

Although wooded now, the land was farmed by the Hawkins family until the 1960s and still contains out buildings which the society is also looking to preserve as part of an early history museum including a loom room and cow pens, Lubrano said. A major crop was flax seed, which was used to make linseed oil. A Hawkins son, Zackary, ran a mill at Carman’s River.

by voters, would increase fire district taxes from $24.188 per $100 of assessed valuation to $35.212. This amounts to less than $6.50 per week for a typical home assessed at $3,000. It keeps the cost of fire and EMS services well below that of nearby districts in Brookhaven Town such as Coram ($43.945) Brookhaven/Shirley ($42.591), Middle Island ($41.167), and North Patchogue ($39.753), district officials pointed out. The $17.9 million bond would be supplemented with $500,000 in reserve funds, bringing the total project to $18.4 million.

Residents can vote on the referendum June 20 at the firehouse on Main Street between noon and 9:00 p.m. A community open house to discuss the plans will be hosted on June 15 starting at 7:00 p.m. at the firehouse.

The property was previously shared with an old school house which was moved further down Montauk Highway where it was used by the Center Moriches district. The historic site was purchased from the sisters of a man who had purchased it from an original Hawkins family member.

The Mastic Peninsula Historical Society was founded in 1999 by Rita Rech, a local dynamo who pushed for the preservation of the Petty House on Montauk Highway in Shirley. It is historically-minded individuals such as Rita Rech, Ed DeGennaro, Gary Olett, and Mike Lubrano who spend their time and energy to make sure these treasures are around for many years to come.

As the New York State Legislative Commission on the Future of the Long Island Power Authority “reset” its schedule for additional public hearings and issuance of its final report for later this year, Newsday last month revealed that “compensation packages for the top PSEG Long Island executives ranged from $442,000 to nearly $700,000.”

That, noted the Newsday article by Mark Harrington, “may provide fodder for some who say the publicprivate relationship…needs to be scrapped.”

This is what the commission is considering.

LIPA, established by the state in the 1980s, was originally envisioned as itself running Long Island’s electric grid. But that was altered and LIPA became “the only utility in the nation that is operated under a third-party management model” with a private contractor running Long Island’s grid, notes State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. of Sag Harbor, cochair of the legislative commission. He charges that “this model has repeatedly failed its customers. There has been a lack of transparency, oversight, and accountability.”

Currently, this “third party” is Newark, New Jersey-based PSEG (Public Service Enterprise Group). It has set up a branch, PSEG Long Island, to be a contractor for LIPA.

Newsday reported that PSEG

"Future" of LIPA and PSEG "Compensation Packages"

Long Island’s “interim president and chief operating officer Dave Lyons’ total compensation package for 2022 as filed with the state was $699,779, including $275,520 in salary and a bonus of $144,400. The value of his ‘other’ pay was $125,478. The ‘other’ pay category includes long-term incentive grants, special achievement awards, vehicle/housing/mobile phone stipends, relocation costs and a hiring bonus the filing says.”

Said Newsday: “The PSEG bonuses and other perks [are] nearly double the compensation of LIPA employees.”

Further, Newsday also reported last month that PSEG Long Island “scored an overall 70% in fully meeting a list of 96 new LIPA performance metrics for 2022, with the lowest overall scores (47%) in customer services. Notably, PSEG did not meet JD Power Customer Satisfaction Survey metrics for the year.” And “PSEG also failed on all three call-center metrics.”

Meanwhile, a long-time public official from Long Island, State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, previously a state assemblyman, released an analysis last month saying there were no serious obstacles to LIPA becoming a full public utility, operating its grid and eliminating PSEG. The analysis by DiNapoli, of Great Neck Plaza, said this change could save ratepayers from $45 million to $75 million a year.

There’s a push, led by some business interests, to retain PSEG as LIPA’s contractor. If LIPA becomes a full public utility, wrote Ed Blumenfeld, president of BDG, a Syosset real estate development company, in Long Island Business News: “There will be a burgeoning bureaucracy tasked with managing the massive and expensive shift from fossil fuel to all electric….One can already hear LIPA’s insistence it will need more staff, for if there is one thing government agencies love more than anything else it is new mandated responsibilities.”

The commission issued a draft study in April concluding that having LIPA be a full public utility would result in an “overall positive benefit”

Q: A: Who is Entitled to a Copy of a Trust?

Besides the trust creator, the trustee(s) and the beneficiaries are entitled to a copy of a trust. Upon creation of the trust, the trustees must have a copy of the trust to carry out their role as custodian and distributor of the assets. In New York State, a trustee has no obligation to provide a copy of the trust to beneficiaries unless asked to do so.

A trustee should provide a copy of the trust, along with contact information of the trustee, to the current beneficiaries of the trust. This way the beneficiary is aware of how they may receive distributions. Moreover, the trustee has a duty of loyalty to the beneficiaries of the trust. A current beneficiary of a trust may receive a copy of the trust

by simply asking the trustee. A current or direct beneficiary is someone entitled to distributions of trust income or principal in the present. Some beneficiaries are contingent - meaning they only inherit upon the passing of an event. For example, a grantor may name a child as beneficiary of a trust and a grandchild to inherit upon passing of their parent. The grandchild is a contingent beneficiary. The grandchild may have the right to receive a copy of the trust if the trust is irrevocable, but not if revocable. Upon termination of the trust, remainder beneficiaries are entitled to notice of such termination and a copy of the trust.

If a trustee fails to provide a copy of the trust, a written demand letter should be sent

for LIPA customers. This included “important financial benefits”—from $48 million to $78 million a year, nearly the same as the analysis by Comptroller DiNapoli.

There was overwhelming support at public hearings held by the commission over the past several months for LIPA to become a full public utility. There were supposed to be additional hearings and issuance of a final commission report in April so the State Legislature could vote on the issue before its 2023 session ended in June. But the legislature got mired in redistricting and state budget matters in its 2023 session. Under the new schedule, additional hearings will be held in September and its final report issued in November, ready for

the next legislative session starting in January 2024.

Lisa Tyson, executive director of the Long Island Progressive Coalition and co-chair of the commission’s advisory committee, says of the current LIPA-PSEG arrangement, “it’s insane.” The executives of PSEG have been “making so much money” while PSEG’s “performance is very bad” as documented by, among other things, the metrics study and loss of electricity for days for most LIPA customers when Tropical Storm Isaias hit in 2020.

That black-out gave birth to “Reimagine LIPA” which Tyson’s coalition created and staffs. “Reimagine LIPA” describes itself on its website, https://publicpowerlipa. org/, as “a campaign of grassroots Long Island organizations that believe we must fully commit to a new paradigm of energy management on Long Island.” These organizations include: Alliance for a Green Economy; Long Island Metro Business Action; Long Island Network for Change; Sierra Club Long Island; OLA of Eastern Long Island; Sustainability Department of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Brentwood; Progressive East End Reformers; Huntington Mobilization for Sustainability; Long Island chapter of Climate Reality Project; Environmental Action Coalition; Food & Water Action; NY Renews; Sunrise Long Island; and Together We Will LI.

Who is Entitled to a Copy of a Trust?

to the trustee(s), reiterating the request. If the trustee is not forthcoming, the beneficiary can bring a court proceeding. The proceeding is usually brought in Surrogates Court in the county where the assets are held or where the trustee resides. The motion asks the Court to issue an order compelling the trustee to provide the beneficiary with a copy of the trust.

If someone does not know if they are a named beneficiary, they can make a written request to the trustee. After receiving a copy of the trust, a beneficiary should review it with an attorney. The beneficiary should consider if it is necessary to compel the trustee to provide an accounting or compel a distribution of the trust assets. An experienced trust and estate

attorney can explain the terms of a trust and whether you are entitled to distributions.

The Oakland A's have been in the news in recent weeks because speculation has hit a fever pitch about their potential move to Las Vegas. Details are still being worked out, and nothing is imminent, but the move to the desert is gaining steam, and headlines, all over the country. Las Vegas has shown us all with the success of the Golden Knights, and now the Raiders move, that pro sports can work in Sin City. The A's should be very happy that all the headlines and media have been concentrating on what they might do next year because this year's A's team is an ugly watch ... for those who aren't betting against them.

Oakland currently sits at +100000. That means a $100 bet on the A's to win the World Series would win you back a cool $10 mill. But, even that kind of return is

foolish. Oakland is headed in the direction of not only being bad, not just being the worst team this season, but they are looking at setting the all time mark for futility. The A's have nearly a -200 run differential, and they have just 5 road wins all season. Not, like they are much better at home with just a handful as well, but this sort of losing has just never been experienced before.

Before 1900 there were a number of teams who won less than 40 games, highlighted by the 1899 Cleveland Spiders team who won just 20 games. That was not in the 162 game season though. The modern mark, in a 160+ game season, for futility would be the 1962 expansion New York Mets who won just 40 games. Take solace tough Amazin' fans because here come the A's. Last week Oakland fell to 10-40, which

Historically Bad

projected to be a 32-130 record. Since then things have gotten worse. That would be the most losses for any team in a season since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders and also erase the Mets from the top of a record they want no part of.

For a bettor things could not be better. Betting against the A's has been one of the more profitable situations all season long. Yes, you'll pay a hefty price tag nearly every night but betting against a team that loses nearly 80% of their games will always make you money. The A's also offer decent value when you bet on them to lose by 2 runs. That has happened in more than 75% of their losses. Mets fans, the city of Las Vegas and bettors who fade the A's should all be smiling. For everyone else, it might be best to look away from this ugly scene.

No More Young Pitching Prospects

I can already see the smirks and grin at the title of this article. Come on, Chuck T., you love it when the Spencer Strider investments pay off. And yes, it is fantasy baseball nirvana when that happens. But here is the unblemished reality. Stocking up on young pitchers will bring you more aggravation than it is worth. And it just isn’t a bankable strategy for long term success. Take some recent conversations that I have had with my peers in the industry and we can hopefully, use these viewpoints to improve our strategies.

My first conversation was with a veteran player who told me he had just given up on Patrick Sandoval in his dynasty league. He went on to share with me that Sandoval has never really been a solid contributor in the WHIP categories. So I looked at some career stats on Sandoval and discovered he has had a career WHIP of 1.30, a number that is a little high. I do own Sandoval in one of my dynasty leagues and I had not experienced inflated WHIP numbers. And sure enough I see that Sandoval

produced a 1.21 WHIP in the 2021 season and in the current season his WHIP is at 1.24. These are acceptable numbers from a 26 year old starting pitcher that shut down Japan in the World Baseball Classic through 5 innings this March.

Why the disconnect? I think it is the 1.34 WHIP produced in the 2022 season, playing an undue influence. I love running into owners who have soured on a

particular player. If you play your cards right, you can circle back to this owner and get Sandoval for a song. Sandoval is not a household name yet, but I expect him to become one. Sandoval has reached the point where he can be reliably counted on for 175 innings plus. His changeup is one of the best swing and miss pitches out there. And why on Earth is anybody souring on a 26 year old? Always talk to the owners in your leagues.

Their viewpoints are priceless.

I got into a conversation with a fellow owner in one of my dynasty leagues that his investments in Brandon Pfaadt and Matthew Liberatore didn’t look like they were going to pan out. Now the current ERA on Pfaadt is 8.37 and the WHIP is 1.65 and a few more appearances are going to poison his team’s ERA and WHIP numbers. But I focused on his sentiments that these investments have set back his team. This was the same owner that had the good fortune of drafting Spencer Strider the season prior. This guy is playing with house money certainly. It isn’t necessary for him to hit the jackpot on every young prospect. But you have to be ready to pull the plug quickly when a Pfaadt blows up. Which brings us to Michael Kopech.

Somehow a lightbulb went off for Michael Kopech in May because his last 2 starts have been dominant. 15 shutout innings, 3 hits allowed, 19 strikeouts and just 1 walk allowed in his last 2 wins. Kopech is 27 years old and his triple digit fastball is legendary. But what catches my

eye about Kopech is that despite surrendering a lot of walks in April and early May, his WHIP stands at 1.22 currently. You run and don’t walk to obtain his brand of dominance. He is only owned in 30% of ESPN leagues, though that figure is rising rapidly. Another owner in my favorite dynasty league shared some pearls of wisdom with me after Hunter Greene threw 6 no-hit innings on his way to 11 strikeouts with 2 walks. He had hit the 110 pitch mark and was pulled at such a high pitch count. Greene expended an average of 6.11 pitches in order to record his 18 outs and this will limit his ability to compile quality starts and wins. And while his 80 strikeouts at the 1/3 mark of the season has him on pace for 240 strikeouts it is only one category. My fellow owner feels this makes Greene a sell high candidate, and I don’t disagree with the sentiment. I have always felt that his 2-pitch repertoire makes him a better candidate for the bullpen. I won’t be buying when he is offered for sale as a starting pitcher but I might make a discounted offer for him as a relief pitcher.

Last week, we wrote about various techniques you could try before throwing the towel and calling for help, whether that be the towing services or your brother-in-law. Mechanical issues are one thing. Electrical are another. This column is about that.

For 1,000 years, Safety at Sea starts at the Dock

So said Admiral Halsey a half century+ ago. It was true then, true before and true forever. And a key to safety of life at sea is a reliable boat under you. And, with the ever increasing reliance on electronics and computers aboard, we need to be sure that our electrical system is ready to go. This starts with preventative maintenance (PM.)

I’ll admit that I hate PM; as I’m working on something, I’m saying to myself, “the odds on this being a problem are millionto-one!” But I keep working on it because a little voice in my head keeps says, “Wanna be that millionth guy…?”

I start PM where the boat starts – with the ignition system.

For most boats, it is simply a key and a safety-lanyard cut-off key. That is the lanyard that you are supposed to attach to yourself so, if you fall overboard, the boat doesn’t keep going down the bay or, worse, spin around until it runs you over. Most boaters don’t attach that lanyard to themselves for reasons that become self-evident if you’ve ever put it on. You reach over to help somebody with something 2’ away and the boat stops. (There are electronic ones now that are wireless and let you walk around the boat to your heart’s content.)

But what about the guy with an enclosed engine space. Quite likely, there is a solenoid switch down there which is an integral part of the starter system. It is mounted low on the engine, not too far from the bilge. Take a good look at it. If you see any salt on it, it is likely from evaporated seawater that has splashed on it. Think about putting a splash plate under it, to keep the bilge water from giving it a bath in heavy seas. Also, check to see that the terminal nuts are

under starting load, which is the greatest time of energy drain on the batteries. Under start-up, a battery should never drop below 9.5 to 10 volts. If it does, go back and check those terminal connections noted above. And don’t forget the negative post too. It is just as important as the positive connection. A bad or loose negative connection can stop an engine as surely as no power at all.

properly tightened. You don’t want them working loose. My mechanics will tell you that faulty wiring connections are the most common reason for failure. Take a look at every wiring connection. Nothing wrong with removing them, checking them, then cleaning and refastening. Visually check the cable looms and look for signs of chafe or damage.

Next, take a look at the battery or batteries. Are the cables clean and securely fastened to the battery terminals? They

shouldn’t have any “white powder” on them (leaking solution from the battery itself is likely the problem and that means it may be time for a new battery.) The cables shouldn’t move at all when prodded, even with a good rap with a hammer. If they do move, this can set up a condition of poor connectivity, high resistance and poor starting power.

Any good mechanic will check the battery for voltage. But, even if it reads 12 volts, it may not be giving out the proper voltage

If the engine doesn’t get enough starting power to reach starting RPM, it just won’t start. Most of us think, “Ugh! The battery is dead” and move to get a new battery. There are over a dozen places where connections can work loose, almost imperceptibly to the human eye – but not to the electronic components.

Northport Hospital and the American Legion

In this article I want to give you a good example of how the American Legion helped me get the help I needed from the VA medical center. I am a ninety year old Korean War Veteran. My problem is that I was having trouble walking with a cane due to a serious problem of balance. I ended up in the hospital three different times due to losing my balance and falling.

My Legion post gave me a walker to help me get around. However, one of the members was not satisfied and told me to make an appointment at the VA medical center with my primary care doctor. He asked if he could take me and be with me when I

saw the doctor. I said okay. I cannot believe the results.

During my examination the Legionnaire told the doctor I need a walker. The doctor agreed and sent us to the Physical Therapy department across the hall

to get one. They gave me a walker, but the legionnaire said no good, he needs one with a seat. They did not have one with a seat but told me to come back in two days. When I returned they had a walker with a seat that

is great. They told me to come back in a week to see another Physical Therapist. The Legionnaire told me that if they issue you wheels they will also put a ramp in your home.

I went back two weeks later. The therapist was making arrangements to have a ramp put in the front of my house to eliminate the stairs. While I was there the therapist reviewed my lifestyle and living conditions. She order a life alert for me and a seat with arms that raises my toilet seat four inches because I am 6'3" tall and have difficulty getting up from it. She went over most of the different parts of my home to see if I was safe. She did not overlook any

area.

I would have lost out on all of these things if it were not for the American Legion and fellow Veterans who belong to the Legion. This shows you not only one reason to join a Veteran organization like the American Legion, but to demonstrate that we all need help and that it is available if you go to the right places for it.

I also want to show you how much the Veteran Medical Center is there for us and that they really help us no matter what you heard. We are very blessed because the Northport Hospital is one of the best in the country and they are really interested in giving us the service that we need.

OF MEN & ANGELS Angelic Spheres of Influence

Angels are placed within seven spheres of influence, each of which directly affects humankind in a particular way. They are:

Angels of Power are servants of God who teach humans how to channel and release their spiritual energy. Prayer is the essential act of transforming humankind’s raw spiritual power from its unfocused, emerging energies into a channeled, accessible relationship between God and man. The angels who are responsible for this usually stay with one person throughout their mortal lifespan, constantly teaching them to amplify their soul’s consciousness and refine their relationship with God.

Angels of Healing assist men and women in avoiding illness and disease and in healing them when they become ill. They work closely with a person’s Guardian Angel, and are able to determine a person’s spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental vulnerabilities.

Building Angels serve as inspirations and help perfect feelings and thoughts. We are still learning to separate ourselves from our primal emotions and instincts and this sphere of angels attempts to build mental bridges within us so we may overcome fears and pain that prevent us from becoming truly enlightened beings. They also inspire us to treat our bodies as temples, continually striving for a perfect integration of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual realms of our existence.

Angels of the Home protect households against dangers, disasters, and ill fortune. Those who are spiritually minded and who accept the influences of these angels are less likely to find their families or dwellings at risk.

Angels of Nature oversee the elemental processes of earth, air, fire, and water. They monitor the relationship between nature and mankind

music. They inspire all of humankind’s musical creations.

while at the same time help to educate us about that balance. In their relationships with us these angels are more organic than spiritual.

Angels of Music concern themselves with the infusion

of music into human cultures. Music is and always has been an important facet of angelic existence. These angels serve to assist in the perfection of every single note of musical composition and do not only focus on religious or spiritual

Angels of Beauty and Art are concerned with artistic creation and the appreciation of beautiful things. Much like the Angels of Music this angelic group is concerned with humankind’s relationship with all arts, rather than just the religious aspect of paintings, sculpture, architecture, and other artistic creations. The constant presence of angels appearing in man’s artistic creations is no coincidence as these angels have been the sources of inspiration for many of humankind’s greatest works. The number of these angels is relatively small compared to some of the other spheres since there is a much smaller percentage of humans able to create inspired works of art. Each of these seven angelic spheres of influence directly affects humankind in a unique way and impacts the daily events and circumstances of our world.
