County Officials on Both Sides of Immigration Debate

ByRobertChartuk

Officials on either side of the aisle in county government hold opposing views of the immigration crisis as the governor and mayor of New York look to relocate thousands of migrants that have come to the city from all over the world. Attention was riveted on the issue after Republicans in the legislature voted to hire a special counsel to explore legal options and an executive order from the county executive to set up a committee to manage any future influx of aliens, moves that resulted in Mayor Eric Adams suing the county, as well as Riverhead Town and other jurisdictions throughout the state that have moved to stop them.

Republican Nick Caracappa, the legislature’s majority leader, expressed the prevailing view of his caucus that Suffolk taxpayers cannot afford a rush of new arrivals while many current residents, among the highest taxed in the nation, are already struggling with food and housing needs. The impact on schools, emergency response, and other services would be enormous, he stressed, and both residents and the migrants would suffer.

“This is mismanagement at the top levels of government,” Caracappa said. “They made false promises to these individuals and

encouraged them to keep coming here to America with Sanctuary Cities and other policies. We simply cannot provide for them. We are having enough trouble providing for our own residents, our own tax-paying citizens, our veterans and people that have mental health issues. They're walking the streets right now. We have people starving, families, children, begging on roadways. There are just simply not enough jobs, there's not enough housing, there's not enough food, there's not enough of everything to sustain such an influx of people.”

Legislator Jason Richberg, the Democrat minority leader, shared the view of Suffolk Executive Steve Bellone that the county should be accepting of the immigrants while taking a measured approach on how they can be accommodated.

“Putting politics over people is not right,” he said, arguing for more federal support to integrate the new arrivals.”This is not a New York City, Suffolk County thing. There's a huge breakdown of communication and infrastructure when it comes to our immigration policy. And I'm not talking about building walls.

I'm talking about the fact that we don't have the infrastructure to help folks become citizens. That's not right,” he said, adding, “I think we have a duty as Americans and as New Yorkers to help in any way we

can.”

Richberg called for improvements in the way the immigrants are processed, saying more judges should be hired to handle asylum claims. “We have constituents who've been waiting for their hearings for six years. That's not fair.”

“I’m not a racist for doing my due diligence to make sure that these people have some semblance of a life that is being promised, when they do not,” Caracappa continued. “They're allowing people to cross the border, unvetted, unchecked, unhoused, unfed, unclothed, unvaccinated. It is, quite frankly, a huge mistake. Anybody we take in going forward should have a future

ahead of them; they should have something to look forward to, some way to earn a living, some way to contribute to society. I don’t think that’s asking too much from our immigration policy.”

With regard to the city’s lawsuit against Suffolk, Caracappa said, “We should sue them right back. We're not breaking any laws here. We have a thing called legal immigration. We have something that's called becoming a United States citizen. So you follow the rules; we'll follow the rules.”

Richberg likened the influx of migrants to that of a flood. “If the water was coming, what you're supposed to do is divert it into multiple different angles

and into multiple different areas,” he explained. “We should have a cohesive approach, which is what the governor is asking for, that we take into account their needs; Are there locations for them to eat, for education? Is there industry where folks can work? What are the skills of the folks who are coming in? These are the questions that we should be asking so we can take a cohesive approach to this. It's not just bring them some place. That's inhumane.”

County officials recently confirmed after a conference call with Gov. Kathy Hochul that there are currently about 72,000 immigrants in New York City transported there from primarily the Southern border where, Republicans charge, the immigration system has completely broken down. People from over 120 countries have flooded into Mexico where they are paying cartels and other operators to get them into the United States, they said. From there, they are transported all over the country, especially to New York, which had billed itself as a Sanctuary City. Hochul’s budget, approved by the state legislature last month, provides more than a billion dollars in state funds for migrant support, money that both sides say is not nearly enough.

G.O.P. Primary Pits Stark Vs. Williams for the County Legislature

ByRobertChartuk

Early voting will start June 17 in the primary contest between two Republicans looking to succeed county Legislator Al Krupski in the district covering the North Fork and parts of Brookhaven.

Stark, a long time aide to the Democrat Krupski, is the choice of the GOP for the First District, while Mattituck businessman and former Southold trustee Greg Williams is trying to wrest the line from her. The winner of the contest, which culminates on primary day June 27, will face Catherine Kent.

Both candidates identified protecting the area’s natural resources, quality of life issues, traffic, and crime as key issues in the race which will boil down to how many Republican voters each side can turn out. If Williams is victorious, he could still face Stark as a Conservative candidate, along with the Democrat Kent.

A former Southold trustee and candidate for the town board, the insurgent’s campaign got off to a rocky start when his nominating petitions were challenged all the way to the state’s Appellate Court. He said he was aware of a $14,000 donation to his opponent’s campaign from one of her family members which would be over the limit for a primary, monies which Stark said were raised before the primary ballot was settled and will

be held until after the contest.

A lifelong Riverhead resident and a fifth generation native of the First District, Stark traces her roots back to her great-great grandfather, John C. Stark, who came to Southold in 1840 and lived there until the 1860s, when he started a farm in Baiting Hollow. “Since then, our family has planted roots and grown throughout the East End,” the chosen candidate of the county GOP said.

Stark, who’s father, Jim Stark, was a Riverhead supervisor, and her uncle, a past town GOP Chairman, has had a long career in government having started in 1996 as Clerk of the Legislature and then with Suffolk’s Real Property Tax Services.

“My experience with the executive branch grew by leaps

and bounds when, five years later, former County Executive Bob Gaffney hired me to work for his Community Services and Intergovernmental Relations divisions,” Stark said. She was chief of staff for Legislator Jay Schneiderman and since 2013 she’s held the same post with Legislator Krupski, a Democrat who’s running for Southold supervisor. The GOP is looking to take back the seat to expand its majority in the 18-member legislature.

In addition to volunteering with the Riverhead Lions Club and other community groups, Stark said “serving my community has been the focus of my career for the past three decades.” She is the mother of three grown children and two grandkids.

Also a lifelong North Fork resident and proprietor of the

popular Country Time Cycle in Mattituck for the last 27 years, Williams added to the list of issues he would tackle as a legislator: the long waiting time for county permits, an issue that was exacerbated after Suffolk shut its computer network following a cyber attack.

“As a North Fork native and active member of the East End community, l have a solid understanding of county and town government politics and procedures,” Williams said. “Many of the people who want to live out here are finding it more difficult to do so; without many large employers, many people create opportunities for themselves, and these opportunities are subject to a broken permit process that, in my experience, often takes so long that the projects are abandoned and sometimes the people move away

to a more reasonable place. This weakens our community.”

The candidate, a former Knights of Columbus Grand Knight, scout leader, Little League and CYO coach, is married with two children.

Both candidates expressed a reluctance to support an influx of migrants into the area as New York Mayor Eric Adam looks to disperse the 72,000 immigrants that have flooded the city to other parts of the state. They’ve also demonstrated a frugal side with Stark saying, “I've always been taught to be fiscally conservative because the money that we're spending is the taxpayers money; they're not a bottomless pit,” and Williams commenting, “I've signed the front of my paycheck and many other paychecks for my employees. I know what it means to be fiscally responsible and that's important.”

In a previous edition, The South Shore Press incorrectly stated the trustees elected to the South Country School Board. The correct names of the trustees who were elected are Cheryl A. Felice and E. Anne Hayes.

STATE

Public will be Less Safe Under Clean Slate Bill Passed in Albany

ByRobertChartuk

Despite opposition from the GOP, law enforcement, prosecutors, and victims rights groups, among others concerned that bill will make New York less safe, the Progressive legislators who control the state legislature approved a “Clean Slate” law that will prohibit judges, employers and the public from seeing the criminal backgrounds of people they are dealing with.

“This is more of the same from our New York Legislature,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney who lobbied against the bill. “They seek at every turn to protect criminals at the expense of victims and honest, hard-working citizens. This will result in more violence and crime perpetrated against ordinary New Yorkers,” according to the 30year prosecutor. “The only question is, how much?”

Opponents of the bill, pushed through by the Progressive left that controls New York State government, argue that the automatic sealing of

convictions, including vehicular homicide, burglary, robbery, and kidnapping, would jeopardize the public.

“This law will make it illegal for a citizen to ask if a convicted murderer is applying to work or live with them,” said Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano (R,C-Medford) who rallied with his Republican colleagues and police, sheriffs, and prosecutors in the closing days of the legislative session in Albany to block the bill. It is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul the moment it hits her desk. “An accountant won’t know if a prospective employee has a history of embezzlement,” DeStefano continued. “That babysitter or caregiver you’re thinking about hiring to watch your children or take care of your elderly parents, you won’t know if they’ve been convicted of abuse.”

Also, as repeat offenders appear before judges, their previous convictions will be off limits under the bill. “It eviscerates increased penalties for repeated drunk driving,

it anyway and it heads to Gov. Hochul who is expected to sign it.

animal abuse and prior firearms convictions,” Tierney pointed out. “It ignores repeat offenders, who have federal or out-of-state convictions.”

The bill comes as New York is suffering through a crime wave brought on by the elimination of cash bail by the far Left–signed in the middle of the night by then-

Gov. Andrew Cuomo minutes after it was passed by the legislature–as well as a pronounced pro-criminal, anti-police agenda espoused by the Democrats.

“We’re trying to work prosecutors such as Ray Tierney to make our communities safer,” said Brookhaven Town Supervisor Edward Romaine,

Suffolk Bill First in State for Affordable Housing

“The need is so important,” Veterans Services Director Ronayne said. “This will change lives profoundly.”

“We shouldn’t have to worry about

being on the street,” commented Riverhead Loft resident Seth Kasden who stressed the need to “never give up until someone actually listens.”

“We all have friends, family,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ByRobertChartuk

The first of its kind in the state which supporters hope will spread nationwide, Suffolk officials last week signed legislation that will open up affordable housing opportunities for veterans and those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Surrounded by many who pushed for the bill, County Executive Steve Bellone and the measure’s legislative sponsor, Nick Caracappa, ceremoniously signed the law which requires new housing projects that receive county support to set aside affordable units to the underserved groups.

“This is a significant piece of legislation that will have an impact for decades,” Bellone said of the bill which calls for at least five units for veterans and people with developmental disabilities, or 10 percent, and an additional five ground floor units to increase handicapped accessibility. “This is about the future of Long Island, of giving everyone the opportunity to reach their own capabilities.”

Legislator Caracappa noted that Suffolk has more veterans than any county in the state. “Too many veterans are on the street, homeless; we need to give them the life they

deserve,” he said. “For the residents with special needs, this is your moment.”

The officials singled out Suffolk Economic Development and Planning Commissioner Sarah Lansdale, who did her masters thesis on the Matinecock Court affordable housing project in East Northport 20 years ago, for helping push the legislation over the finish line. First proposed in 1978, the development, finally underway, will include eight units for the disabled and four for veterans, with another 15 compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “She is an unsung hero for an issue we all care very deeply about,” Caracappa noted, adding that getting the measure passed 18-0 was a group effort.

Recognized at a Hauppauge bill signing event were Tom Ronayne, director of the county’s Veterans Service Agency, Frank Krotschinsky, director of the Office for People with Disabilities, Ulysses Spicer of Housing Help, Kathryn Snaith of SILO, The Social Brain’s Ira Dune, Frank Sanzone, Farmingville VFW Post 400 commander, and Sal Russo, commissioner with the Farmingville Fire District. Also in attendance were some of the Suffolk legislators who voted for the bill: Steve Flotteron, Leslie Kennedy, and Jason Richberg.

a pro-law enforcement candidate for Suffolk County Executive. “Laws like these make it that much more difficult.”

Jennifer Harrison, Founder of Victims Rights NY said, “Our loved ones and our families were robbed of any second chances when the criminals advocated for in this legislation intentionally took the lives of another human being. Imagine being told that first your violent attacker or person that killed your child was being released, and now that person can pretend it never even happened while you, the innocent casualty, have to suffer a life sentence of pain, trauma and grief.”

According to Harrison, “There are much simpler, common-sense alternatives like expanding the expungement process through public defender offices, for example, so that those truly deserving of a second chance are provided with the resources and opportunity to get one. Pro-criminal, anti-victim ‘reforms’ are unsustainable and deadly. To pass more would epitomize insanity.”

neighbors who are in line for these situations,” Legislator Flotteron said, noting that projects near trains, buses and downtowns are ideal. “This makes sure there is affordability.”

Bellport Village

Why I Should Be Your Choice for Mayor

Dear Editor,

My name is Kieran Murphy. In the upcoming election on June 20 Bellport Residents have a choice for Mayor for the first time in many years. I should be your choice. Here’s why.

For the past 30 years I’ve lived in the Village with my wife Colleen and have raised my two daughters here. During that time I’ve worked at Brown’s Garage, became and continue as a New York City Firefighter, joined the Bellport Fire Department and served as its Chief. I ’ve also served the Village for the past two years on the Village’s Waterfront Commission and have worked closely with the Mayor and Trustees in each of these capacities. I’ve experienced the way of life in Bellport, and have been here and seen the changes in the Village over those years. I believe that we have a perfect balance of community and individuality here and I intend to keep it that way. Nonetheless, change inevitably and necessarily comes, simply because life requires it. How a Mayor addresses new realities as they arise is the question.

In my view, four issues are most pressing on the Village: the Shore Road and Marina drainage projects; communication with the Residents about Village issues and events; the pending Catering Contract at the Country Club; and the chronic problem with speeding in the Village. My plan to deal with these issues is as follows:

Kieran Murphy

Shore Road will be re-opened this summer and modifications completed by the end of the year. If necessary, a new engineer will be hired to handle the matter. Moreover, any lingering drainage issues at the marina will also be addressed. I will ask the Village Board to improve the Village’s website: to include a daily update of critical information; to live-stream Village Board meetings and allow Residents to participate remotely, and; to provide a link to code enforcement so that concerns can be raised to them and that questions can be answered by them. I will also ask the Village Board to suspend negotiations with the present caterer; to forward the proposed contract to the Village’s Budget Advisory Committee for their review, and; to seek other proposals to restore the Country Club’s restaurant as a country club amenity. In this way one of the Village’s most important amenities can be restored to the members and residents, and tax paying residents will be assured that the best deal for the Village has been obtained. Finally, in my first week I will contact the Chief of Patrol for the Suffolk Police to seek the SCPD's agreement to provide Village Code Enforcement the authority to handle traffic enforcement. I will also work closely with the head of the Fifth Precinct to initiate greater traffic enforcement by the police until Code Enforcement is authorized do the job.

I believe that what sets me apart is my employment with the fire service and as a leader in our Fire Department for six years. This experience has given me the ability to assess issues quickly and to make timely decisions to solve the problems that arise. That will be the ability that I bring to the Village Board. Working with the Trustees I will ensure that issues are openly discussed, that Resident input is obtained and heeded, and that the reasons for our decisions are provided. Being Mayor is not about simply looking at issues, it’s about setting a direction, getting experienced residents involved, and then explaining to the public how and why you are moving forward. Solving the problem is the key. What I bring to the game is the ability to lead and make decisions, not just to watch what is happening. I hope to meet with you over the next few days between now and the election, and that you will see that I am the better choice to be your next Mayor. And I ask that you give me a chance to lead this Village forward.

Thank you.

New York Mayor Sues Suffolk, Riverhead for Action on Immigration

ByRobertChartuk

Suffolk is one of 30 counties across the state being sued by New York Mayor Eric Adams seeking to block them from trying to stop the relocation of up to 72,000 immigrants who have amassed in the city.

Adams is in a predicament after rolling out the red carpet for migrants by deeming New York a “Sanctuary City.” Now faced with the responsibility of housing them, he’s looking to the counties and towns for help, jurisdictions that are seeking restraining orders and making emergency declarations to keep them out.

“This lawsuit aims to put an end to this xenophobic bigotry and ensure our state acts as one as we work together to manage this humanitarian crisis fairly and humanely, as we have done from the beginning and as we will continue to do," the mayor said.

“We believe that there should be a holistic approach,” said the Suffolk Legislature’s minority leader, Jason Richberg. “I'm not saying that folks aren't invited here at all. I'm saying we should work with our local governments and with our state government to help facilitate, to make sure we're being strategic.”

Richberg was one of six legislators who voted against hiring legal counsel to advise on options as the immigration

crisis unfolds. “I think we have a duty as Americans and as New Yorkers to help in any way we can. But I also think our federal government should be providing funds and helping make sure we have the infrastructure and immigration judges so that these folks are processed and aren’t languishing for years,” Richberg said.

Riverhead was named in the mayor’s suit after Supervisor Yvette Aguiar issued an order prohibiting hotels and motels from contracting with the city to take in migrants in violation of town codes. Suffolk Executive

Steve Bellone was also sued for his order to create a special committee to review any plans to house aliens in the county.

"When the City of New York declared itself a Sanctuary City it invited these challenges,” said Dutchess County Executive William F.X. O'Neil, who was named in the lawsuit along with Suffolk and the Town of Riverhead. “Now Mayor Adams is pouring gasoline on the fire he started while continuing to try to impose his will upon the rest of the state by breaking local building and zoning laws and violating New York state Social

Services rules and regulations.”

Another defendant, Rockland Executive Ed Day, said, “Rockland County services have already been strained to the breaking point through the natural and organic migration of individuals to our county. This new lawsuit does nothing to address the legitimate concerns of my administration and residents of our county."

Orange County had a similar reaction with spokesman Justin Rodriguez stating, "New York City's lawsuit lacks merit and its boldfaced actions of sending individuals from the city to Orange County is in clear violation of state law and is the real problem. Orange County will continue to assert and protect its rights in ensuring that the rule of law is followed by all."

Kevin McCarthy, presiding officer of the Suffolk Legislature who sponsored the special council bill, noted the strain an influx of new residents would have on schools, emergency services, and other resources. “How do you deal with that? How do you budget for that?” he asked when the resolution was being debated. “It’s a burden that's going to be on our taxpayers, our emergency medical services, our police, our rescue companies.” The presiding officer did not make himself available for further comment, nor did County Executive Bellone.

WFHS Senior Constructs Communication Board for Eagle Scout Project

William Floyd High School senior Thomas Coppola, who also serves as a member of Boy Scout Troop 138 of Mastic, has completed his Eagle Scout project, a new communication board for the adaptive playground at Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School.

Thomas selected this project to assist non-verbal students with communicating their wants and needs outside during recess or any time visiting the playground. This professionalquality communication board contains 36 pictures with words in English and Spanish depicting various feelings or wants such as asking a friend to play, being thirsty, and much more, along with each letter of the alphabet so students can spell things not listed.

This new communication board is an excellent addition to the adaptive playground, which is enjoyed by Nathaniel Woodhull students on a daily

basis and has become a favored destination of children and their families from across the community.

“When a student needs help, they can go to the communication board and point to the related pictures or use the alphabet provided and spell what they need,” said Thomas, who will be

submitting the final paperwork for review by the Eagle Scout Board in the near future.

“My hope is this board will open up a new dialogue for both the students and staff and help create a stronger environment for communicating with one another,” added Thomas. “I also believe it will open the door and teach other students

New York City Mayor Eric Adams

Host of Local Issues Covered at Pattersquash Meeting

ByRobertChartuk

Various issues of concern to the members of the Pattersquash Creek Civic Association from local development projects and the Shirley Train Station renovation to the new Tri-Hamlet Park and crime issues were covered by Town Councilman Daniel Panico at their monthly meeting. With the area experiencing a near-renaissance on issues that have been on the back burner for decades, the members appreciated his updates.

Panico led off with the Beechwood Organization’s transformational plan to rebuild a 47-acre swath of the Neighborhood Road Business District in Mastic Beach. “What is there now needs to be redeveloped; crime is a reason why we need Beechwood,” Panico said of the mix of business and residential use proposed for the property, stressing it would make the area much safer. According to the Councilman, who is running to succeed Edward Romaine for Brookhaven supervisor, developers are leaning more toward owner-occupied sales because of the difficulties in securing renters who can’t afford two months security and have inadequate credit scores. Efforts by the state to limit rent increases will also push the trend toward ownership, he said.

A key factor in making the Beechwood project possible is the installation of sewers, a muchneeded service for the Mastic Beach Peninsula that has been more than a half century in the making. The county recently announced $20 million in funding to plan the sewers necessary for Beechwood, which will have the option of building their own treatment plant or connect to the $223.9 million Forge River Watershed system currently under construction.

Panico, who also serves as deputy town supervisor, said he is looking forward this summer to the opening of the expanded Patriots Park, also known as Tri-Hamlet Park, off William Floyd Parkway where the Links golf course used to be. He spoke glowingly of the project’s serene walking paths and bridge over the lake which will be bolstered with the addition of a new well for irrigation, pickleball courts and other amenities that will be added as impact funds from the Sunrise Wind project start coming in. He noted it was ironic that the East End towns with residents that are all for alternative energy sources didn’t want the cable from the windmills off Montauk Point coming to shore near them. “The town saw the opportunity,” he told the civic members, and will receive $130 million in impact fees over the 25-year lifespan of the project. About $3 million from Sunrise will be dedicated to the park, he said, pointing out that Colony Preserve Drive leading to the Patriot parking area was dedicated to the town as part of the development and will not be a thoroughfare as some residents have feared. According to the councilman, William Floyd Parkway, where the Sunrise cable will run, also has a Transatlantic communications cable buried beneath it that no one even knows is there.

With sewers coming to the area, the town is looking to host various businesses with some already on the

drawing board including Buffalo Wild Wings, Planet Fitness, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Harbor Freight, Panera Bread, Starbucks, but not a White Castle currently, Panico said. The civic members were happy to hear that the dilapidated Smitty’s Hardware Store on Mastic Road will be replaced by a 120-child daycare center with a 15,000-square-foot indoor athletic complex behind it, according to a presentation by its owner of the last 10 years, Ghulam Sarwar, who said he is investing $2 million in the project which is expected to begin as soon as the town permits clear, hopefully in a month. The property will be fenced off from the shopping center next door and will be beautifully landscaped, Sarwar promised. The old Movieland property at the corner of Mastic Road and Montauk Highway in Mastic is being eyed for redevelopment, but the owner wants too much for it, Panico reported.

Panico and a guest in the audience, Karen Dunne, who is running to replace him as he vies for town supervisor, said they have discussed the Shirley Train Station renovation with the MTA’s Hector Garcia and reported that work isn’t expected to start until next year. This came as a surprise to Bill Doyle, who was at the meeting representing Senator Alexis Weik, who understood from Garcia that the work was imminent. Another Long Island Rail Road issue, under the auspices of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, that was a topic of discussion was the matter of grade crossings at Hawthorn Street and Madison Street as a way to alleviate what residents say is a traffic problem that’s gotten out of hand.

“It can take a half-hour just to get to Montauk Highway sometimes,” said Walter Meshenberg of Mastic Beach.

“Something has to be done.” Fire Commissioner Bill Biondi, the former mayor of Mastic Beach, said he will drive all the way to Smith Street in Shirley and come into the area from the west just to avoid the traffic jams.

Panico said bridges or underpasses are out of the question and is pushing the MTA for the grade crossings.

“These crossings are a way of life on Long Island,” the councilman said. “They would solve a huge problem.” Removing the light at the Mastic fire house is also off the table based on an engineering study commissioned by the town that concluded it wouldn’t help ease traffic and would raise liability concerns.

Reporting on the Yaphank landfill, Panico said the facility will stop accepting construction and demolition debris at the end of 2024 and ash in 2028. Brookhaven’s municipal waste is trucked to the Covanta incinerator in Westbury which ships the resulting ash back to Yaphank. The future movement of the town’s waste will take place by rail, Panico said, noting the Brookhaven Rail Terminal complex currently under construction in Yaphank is planned for a transfer hub. The industrial development, among a host of projects in the Yaphank corridor on 230 acres of land previously sold off by Suffolk County, will also feature a Home Depot warehouse with a rail stop located in the building. Panico declared that Brookjaven’s solid waste future will also depend on recycling, but noted that the ebb and flow of the

materials market has made it difficult to sustain a glass recycling effort, These crushed materials have been used in capping the landfill and is also being considered for construction use. The landfill, which by state regulation must be constructed in a domed shape, will be the future home of the state’s largest solar arrays and a green energy storage facility. Methane, a flammable bi-product of garage decomposition, is also being collected and sold to neighboring businesses, Panico reported. Water percolating through the huge waste facility, locally referred to as “Mt. Trashmore,” is collected and removed for treatment. Curbside pickup for town residents will remain, but the garbage fee on residential tax bills may see an increase as the town transitions away from the landfill, Panico acknowledged. Illegal

dumping as recently seen in Mastic Beach where a Holbrook couple was busted for thrashing local wetlands, doesn’t make sense given the town service, Panico commented. He said the dumping of debris may become a problem as the town closes the landfill to C&D materials, but Brookhaven is getting ahead of the issue by expanding a network of cameras, license plate readers and other security measures in marsh areas and other less-inhabited places.

Panico said the state is going in the wrong direction in fighting crime as drug dealers and other violators are quickly back on the street due to the elimination of cash bail by the Progressive Democrats who control New York government. “The state is upside down when it comes to crime,” he said in response to a resident concern over the proliferation of

drug dealing, including a lady who, for the first time living in the area for the last 50 years, was approached by a man selling drugs. Panico said the town has been proactive with the Suffolk Police and District Attorney Raymond Tierney, who is focused on local quality-of-life issues with the town. He also mentioned the inability of police to pull over people smoking marijuana. “There’s no way to test those who are behind the wheel when they’re high.” Plus, he said the state’s tax on cannabis sales will push people to go back to the street for a less expensive product, leading to a civic member complaining of increased traffic near the Poospatuck Reservation where the sale of pot products is taking off.

Panico said he is also excited about the town taking over the Manor of St. George and expanding its access to the public. The current caretaker will be retained, he said, and the town will protect the many historical documents associated with the estate as it promotes the area’s past including the heritage William Floyd and Longwood estates. The town is also pursuing 28 acres from the Dowling College property near Calabro Airport in Shirley for an ice rink similar to the popular Rinx facility in Islip Town.

Sarwar summed up the presentation and Q&A with Panico when he said, “Your local town officials are very knowledgeable. They care about us and the town.”

It was a beautiful day on Main Street as the Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches held its annual fair. Hand-crafted items were the order of the day along with zeppoles, cotton candy and the perfect pickle as musicians Don and Sue Cerce serenaded the crowd. Local businesses promoted their services as local officials made a presence, including Senator Dean Murray, County Legislator Jim Mazzarella, Town Councilman Dan Panico, and Karen Dunne, candidate for the councilman’s position as he runs for Brookhaven Supervisor.

In the middle of Suffolk County, in Selden, is the Long Island Campus of an extraordinary educational institution: Empire State University. Originally called Empire State College, it was elevated to being Empire State University in March.

As its website declares: “Founded in 1971 as the innovative campus of the State University of New York, Empire State University empowers learners from diverse backgrounds to achieve their educational goals. We have decades of experience providing educational access through online teaching and learning, individualized instruction, mentoring, and prior learning assessment.”

It is “a national leader,” it continues, “for high-quality, flexible, and affordable education. We stand alone among public institutions nationwide in our ability to provide impactful academic experiences to learners of all ages.”

The opening of the Long Island Campus happened in 2019. Dr. Merryl Tisch, chair of the SUNY Board of Trustees, and herself a former teacher, said then: “SUNY Empire’s new state-of-the-art campus will ensure that non-traditional learners…have access to the best and most affordable educational opportunities available that can advance their lives and careers.”

The new $14 million SUNY Empire Long Island Campus is on 6.6

An Extraordinary Educational Institution: Empire State University

acres at 407 College Road.

I know SUNY Empire well having graduated from it as indeed a “nontraditional” learner compared to most young college and university students.

I first went to Antioch College in Ohio, and in the second year, in 1961, inspired by an Antioch internship at the Cleveland Press, especially the investigative reporting I saw done at the Press, I decided to get into journalism—immediately.

So, I jumped on my motorcycle, my girlfriend (now my wife of 62 years whom I met in our first weeks at Antioch) on the back, and we headed to where we were from: New York (she grew up in Huntington, I in the city) with my aiming to become a journalist.

Soon, in 1962, I was a reporter at the Babylon Town Leader with my first big story investigating the scheme of Robert Moses to build a four-lane highway the length of Fire Island and pointing instead to an alternative, a Fire Island National Seashore, which became a reality in 1964.

I started at the daily Long Island Press in 1964, to focus, after seasoning by covering cops-and-courts, on doing investigative reporting and also was given a weekly column in 1969—the forerunner of this column. In the mid-1970s there was concern

at the newspaper—of reporters who had been on newspapers that had gone down—that it might be in trouble, too. And I thought, I’d better get a degree.

I enrolled in SUNY Empire, graduating in 1976. The Long Island Press suddenly did cease publication in 1977, in its 157th year. In 1978, I shifted to being a SUNY Old Westbury journalism professor and also began studying for a graduate degree in media at the New School.

At SUNY Empire I studied mainly with writer Gary Goss which included finishing a book reflecting on my experiences in journalism, titled “Front Row At The Circus.” My wife also went to SUNY Empire eventually leading her to become a

teacher of English-for-Speakers-ofOther-Languages in the Sag Harbor school system.

SUNY Empire was a marvelous learning experience—a huge contrast from what would have been the conventional alternative: in my 30s with 18-to-22 year-olds in a classroom.

SUNY Empire was the vision of Dr. Ernest Boyer when he was SUNY chancellor from 1970 to 1975. It now serves nearly 15,000 students at 18 campuses all over New York State with 67 undergraduate degree programs, 22 graduate programs and a doctoral program. It also serves students overseas—including in the Czech Republic, Greece, Lebanon, Turkey, Albania and the Dominican

Republic—seeking a U.S. college degree.

Last week, at a commencement ceremony for SUNY Empire in Albany, its sixth president, Dr. Lisa Vollendorf, declared: “Students, you are the first class to graduate from Empire State University. Thanks to the policy changes in the State of New York and the robust academic offerings we have at SUNY Empire, we made the change to university just a few short months ago….I believe that no other institution in the country offers the same high-quality, flexible, affordable educational experience that we offer at Empire State University. We are champions of equity and inclusion, and our faculty, staff, and leadership show up every day to find new ways to deliver on our commitment to access and excellence.”

She noted that “our youngest graduate this year is 19 and the oldest is 79, nearly 16% of this year’s graduates are over age 50, and approximately 15% are under 25, you live in 58 different counties throughout New York State, in 24 U.S. states and territories and in 17 countries around the world.”

“And most of all, please know that you are part of an alumni network that is more than 95,000 people strong.”

VETERANS WAY Flag Day and our American Flag

In June 1775, the Second Continental Congress met to create the Continental Army. This led to the creation of what was the first “American Flag,” George Washington turned his efforts on creating a flag. On June 14, 1777, Betsy Ross (who assisted in the war by repairing uniforms and sewing tent) had received the order from General George Washington to make the first flag. The Second Continental Congress passed a resolution stating: “Resolved, that flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new Constellation.”

While most know that the stars represent the states, the colors or the flag also hold important meanings.

RED represents hardness and valor, as well as courage

and readiness to sacrifice. It is also sometimes said to represent the bloodshed by those who have fought to protect out freedom and country.

WHITE stands for purity and innocence. Pure because we are independent from other countries and hold true to our ideals.

BLUE signifies justice for all, as well as vigilance and perseverance. A reminder that we must remain watchful and strong.

In 1885, Bernard Cigrand, a small town Wisconsin teacher, organized the idea for an annual flag day, to be celebrated across the country every June 14th. That year, he led his school in the first formal observance of the holiday. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary by officially

establishing June 14 as Flag Day. On August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. However, it is not an official federal holiday.

The “Star-Spangled Banner” America’s national anthem since 1931, was taken from a poem written by Francis Scott Key after he witnessed the Battle of Fort McHenry during

the War of 1812.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God ..

• Flying the flag upside down is an official distress signal.

• The Flag Code stipulates

that the Stars and Stripes should not be used as apparel, bedding or drapery.

• The practice of draping coffins in the American Flag is not reserved for military veterans and government officials. Any burial may incorporate this tradition.

• Etiquette calls for American flags to be illuminated by sunlight or another light source while on display.

• When the flags are taken down from their poles, care must be taken to keep them from touching the ground.

• When the flags get old and need replacement those flags should be turned in to a veteran’s organization where they can be properly disposed of. Most veteran posts have a flag disposal collection box outside their post.

PGA and LIV Agree to Merger

ByNickCipolla

After a couple years of controversies, big money deals, and even an attempt to send a message to the PGA at this year's Masters, PGA commissioner Jay Monahan announced that the LIV and PGA will push their differences aside and agree to a historic merger.

"After two years of disruption and distraction, this is a historic day for the game we all know and love," read a statement made by Monahan in a press release, "This transformational partnership recognizes the immeasurable strength of the PGA TOUR’s history, legacy and procompetitive model and combines with it the DP World Tour and LIV – including the team golf concept –to create an organization that will benefit golf’s players, commercial and charitable partners and fans.”

Monahan, who has been the PGA commissioner since January 2017, is now deciding to merge with the LIV, who he has bashed previously for being funded by a country that supports terrorists who were responsible for 9/11 and other terroristic threats across the globe.

Saudi Arabia is able to fund these types of leagues and other large projects due to the money the country makes every year by selling oil to nations that either have progressive thinking people in charge (I.E Joe Biden’s America) or are unable to produce their own fossil fuels.

The Saudi Arabian funded and based LIV – which is roman numerals for 54, the amount of strokes you would shoot if you birdied every single hole on a par 72 course – had convinced some of the biggest golfers in the world to walk away from the PGA for tons of money despite the concerns from

fans that this money was being handed out by a country that was responsible for some of the most despicable acts of terrorism in recent memory.

Some big names like Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen, and the Kopeka brothers (Brooks and Chase) all jumped ship to join the Saudi funded golf league due to the higher payday. The LIV also employs PGA legend and one of golf fans favorite golfers ever, Greg “The Shark” Norman as their CEO.

In the past, Jay Monahan was extremely critical of these people who would jump ship for the LIV and “sell their souls for a big pay day.” Now Monahan is being called a hypocrite who also has sold his soul over money.

"I have two families that are close to me that lost loved ones,” said Monahan in a statement made back in 2022 when he spoke to legendary commentator Jim Nantz on SkySports, "My heart goes out to them and I would ask that any player that has left, or that would ever consider leaving, have you ever had to apologize for being a member of the PGA Tour?"

Monahan also stated that he would never under any circumstances merge with the LIV or welcome any LIV golfer back into the PGA tour.

The big question some golf fans originally questioned was would this Saudi funded Golf tour live past its infancy or be able to support all these mega contracts golfers were signed to.

Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, even made a statement on his Truth Social Media account where he predicted a merger between the two professional

golf tours last July as professional golfers were weighing huge paydays to defect to the LIV Tour despite facing heavy criticism over its Saudi funding or what has now become known as “Blood Money.”

“All of those golfers that remain "loyal" to the very disloyal PGA, in all of its different forms, will pay a big price when the inevitable MERGER with LIV comes, and you get nothing but a big "thank you" from PGA officials who are making Millions of Dollars a year,” said Trump via Truth Social, “If you don't take the money now, you will get nothing after the merger takes place, and only say how smart the original signees were. Good luck to all, and congratulations to really talented Cam Smith on his incredible WIN!”

Trump, who is an avid golfer himself, also released another statement via Truth Social after the merger saying “Great news from LIV Golf! A big, beautiful, and glamorous deal for the wonderful world of golf. Congrats to all!"

The President also has hosted some LIV events on his properties in the past and his following of golf is well known by almost everyone who

keeps up with Mr. Trump.

Unlike Donald Trump, many other golf fans and golfers were not too fond of the PGA for agreeing to merge with the LIV Golf Tour due to their shady fundings by the Saudi Arabian Government and their terroristic ideology, headlined by former world number one golfer Rory Mcllroy.

“I still hate LIV. I hate them,” said Mcllroy on Wednesday when he spoke to the media about the merger before he competes to defend his RBC Open Title, “I hope it goes away. We just can't welcome them back in," he said. "It's hard not to feel like I was a sacrificial lamb. I've come to terms with it. I've resigned myself to the fact that this is what's going to happen.”

Mcllroy, 34, also claims that he was never offered a contract by the LIV when they tried to poach all the big names away from the PGA in the past couple of years.

Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy was one of the biggest critics of the merger, as he fired off a dozen tweets about the merger and calling Jay Monahan “a vile human” amongst other words and obscenities since

the announcement went public.

“I guess the commish of PGA Jay Monahan is no longer morally opposed to LIV because of 9/11 since they are merging now”, said Portnoy via Twitter, “Funny how that works.”

In another tweet, Portnoy continued to drag Monahan through the mud stating, “Also I could give a s–t less they are merging. Getting all the best golfers back in the same tournaments is great for golf and the fans. It's just hilarious all the bulls–t that was being spewed about how morally superior the PGA was only to have them merge almost instantly.”

“I don't know how Jay Monahan sleeps at night,” added Portnoy in another Tweet, “He co-opted 9/11 victims for the moral high ground. He clearly didn't give a s–t about them. Just using their pain as a marketing tactic. Special type of hell for guys like that.”

Many people also wonder what will happen with player salaries as the LIV has all this dirty money to throw around and the answer seems pretty simple. Most of these mega deals, including Phil Mickelson’s $200 million deal, will be paid out until the end of the 2025 season (which is when the longer deals signed will expire).

“Not much has emerged about the lengths of the contracts which players signed with LIV Golf,” read a statement made on AS.com, “While some may have agreed short-term arrangements, others signed longer deals – and will be under contract through the 2025 season.”

In the meantime, reporters all across the world are waiting for more details about the ongoing merger and we will be covering the aftermath of this major announcement as it unfolds.

Pat/Med Loses in County Finals, Knoth Prepares for MLB Draft

ByNickCipolla

Entering the 2023 baseball season, many people thought there would be no way Patchogue Medford High School wouldn’t make it to the Long Island Championship.

However, things went south in the playoffs as the Raiders lost to a perennial powerhouse in Commack High School as they were swept in the Suffolk County AA Series during Memorial Day Weekend. Commack’s VCU commit Evan Kay, who was named Long Island AA MVP of the postseason last weekend, was brilliant on the mound and the Commack bats were all over PatMed’s pitchers all series long.

Unfortunately for Pat-Med, their season full of hype and promise came to a screeching halt and it unfortunately means it will be the end of the road for some seniors as some will never see the field ever again.

Meanwhile, there was a story that somewhat overshadowed the entire series and it was something that occurred off the field during

the weeks leading up to the 2023 Long Island High School Baseball postseason. The rumors were spreading like wildfire and were later proven to be true. New York’s best high school pitcher Josh Knoth would not be suiting up for the postseason.

During game one of the AA Suffolk County Finals at Commack High School, Knoth was not on the field or even dressed to play. He was found on the bench wearing shorts

and his team's jersey, still supporting the team but not eligible to play during the game.

Knoth, 17, is a projected first round pick in this year's MLB Draft and should go no later than the third round according to MLB Scouts and recent reports. He is ranked inside the MLB Pipelines top 150 Draft Prospects and has arguably the best breaking ball in the entire class.

Knoth is one of the most decorated baseball players in Long Island High

School history, the only thing that was missing from his resume was the Long Island and New York State Championships. Why would he sit out the postseason?

According to multiple anonymous sources, Knoth was advised by his agent to sit out the entire postseason in order to save him from getting hurt while continuing a throwing regimen in order to be ready to report to the Minor Leagues.

If Knoth was to get hurt during a postseason push, it would tank his draft stock and potentially cost him millions of dollars in the process.

Pitchers are often overworked in high school anyway and Knoth would’ve been pitching almost every game if he continued to play for Pat Med this postseason.

Knoth’s decision isn’t something that should be seen as controversial by the outsiders looking in. It is very common in the Northeast and it happens at least once a year when a top guy declares for the draft and sits out in order to stay fresh and ready to report to the minor leagues upon

being drafted.

Unlike schools down south and elsewhere throughout the country, schools in New York and other states in the tri-state area tend to be in session from the first week in September and end around mid June. School sports will go on until early June and the draft is typically the same weekend as the New York State Championships. Top high school pitchers will sit out the last month so they don’t get hurt in order to save their draft stock and lower the risk of injury.

Many people understand the decision from Knoth as he hopefully has a long and successful baseball career ahead of himself. Why not sit out if it means you could make millions of dollars in the near future?

If Knoth was pitching in Florida where they are already a week into being out of school and almost a month removed from state playoffs, this kind of news story would not exist and he would’ve had the opportunity to close out his career as a champion.

THE BETTOR ANGLE

BY TOM BARTON

There is an age old question in sports when a team is falling and there seems to be no bottom. What is rock bottom? These Mets are now record setting, for all the wrong reasons. The Amazin's amazingly set a franchise record by losing 3 straight games that they led by 3 runs or more in, while also losing their 122 game streak of leading the game after 8 innings with a win. For the New York Mets last week almost had to be the lowest they can go, the question now is what can they do?

The Mets were the darlings of the offseason with fans and media members alike heaping praise on them for landing Justin Verlander and company. The fan base was

in awe of the new direction of an ownership that would spend to fix problems and some publications even likened their offseason ways to the Yankees teams of the past. But, with all that attention also comes the weight of expectations. Mets fans have endured failed expectations for decades, but this might be the worst situation yet.

So, the question is now how will they correct this, or better yet, can they? The problem with this Mets team as it stands today is there is no one problem area. Yes, the bullpen is weak and surely Cohen and company will address that, but that's not all. The starters haven't been what they have been paid to be. Verlander, Max and

ROTOMILLTM

BY CHUCK T. Fantasy Sports

Since STATCAST data became widely available in 2015 and beyond, the science of scouting has been revolutionized. Exit velocities are used to assess top hitters as well as to assess pitchers as well. And young shortstop Elly de la Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds is putting up batted ball data that is a cut above what just about every prospect has done in the last 8 years. Make no mistake, this analysis is in its infancy. But it is clearly having an outsized impact. And for every de la Cruz that tantalizes with potential, there is a Jo Adell who immensely disappoints.

I started playing fantasy baseball in 1989 and there was a lot in common amongst Eric Anthony, Greg Vaughn, Earl Cunningham and other sluggers. Namely they had wild numbers of strikeouts and they all chased pitches outside of the strike zone. And a terrific analyst once employed by STATS, Inc. revolutionized the industry with his analysis of controlling the strike zone and his name was Jon Sickels. This analysis was also closely similar to the work of Bill James and was popularized in the book “Moneyball” and the strategies employed by Billy Beane of the Oakland A’s. And to sum it

What Now?

even Mr. Ghost Fork himself have been underwhelming add that to a lack of depth and overall the pitching has been very poor. The hitting hasn't been much better. Just imagine where this team would be without Alonso's huge power in the middle. There is good news for Mets fans. You have an owner that will surely spend and be very aggressive in the coming weeks to get this team back on track. New York also has some young trade pieces and there is no lack of talent that can be available. It will be tricky but the Mets better not wait until the deadline to make some moves. This team is sinking fast, let's just hope they have hit the bottom and now can bounce up.

The Uber Prospects are Coming

its tools that measured the impact that batters were having on the ball and the impact that pitchers were having in suppressing hard contact.

up neatly, with no timer or game clock, baseball was the lone timeless sport which was decided by a team not expiring its 27 outs without establishing the lead. If you could draw a walk, your team always had a chance since a walk delayed the accumulation of 27 outs.

And Jon Sickels analysis was extremely successful in helping to find future stars. It led to Chipper

Jones, Manny Ramirez, Jeff Bagwell, Chuck Knoblauch and countless others. But it wasn’t error proof. It uncovered a lot of players who seemed to control the strike zone but did very little in terms of impacting the ball. The names Peter Bergeron, Carlos Febles and others come to mind when we discuss careers that didn’t flourish. And along came STATCAST and

And so we have another group of data to help guide us in our scouting adventures. It is less important that certain batters chase pitches out of the strike zone but they do so at reasonable rates of expectancy. A hitter who strikes out in 40% of his at bats is going to have a hard time hitting for a good batting average while striking out that much. And it won’t matter how hard he hits the ball. But a strikeout rate in the high 20’s might be a measure an owner can live with. As we look at Elly de la Cruz what we do see is a player lowering his chase rates and subsequently increasing his walk rates. It is that concentration on improvement and his good reception to coaching which are the things to look for. The STATCAST exit velocities and the sprint speeds are things to drool over. Elly consistently hits balls with exit velocities in excess of 115mph. His sprint speed stands at an index which makes him amongst the fastest measured runners playing the sport. There is a lot to dream on here. And the dream began with a major league call up on Monday,

June 5h. There is still 2/3 of the baseball season to be played. And all over the baseball diamond, the Cincinnati Reds have some very impactful prospects from Christian Encarnacion-Strand to pitcher Andrew Abbott.

Prior to Elly de la Cruz the Pittsburgh Pirates were thrilling the baseball world with shortstop O’Neill Cruz. Another guy with off the charts power, ridiculous speed. A world class throwing arm and perhaps with just a tad less refinement than Elly has shown. His season has been interrupted by a broken ankle but he will back bashing soon enough. The exit velocities are off of the charts. Baseball’s draft has been moved into July from previously being held in June. The consensus Top 3 prospects are all college players and they are all expected to need only one year in the minors. Louisiana State outfielder Dylan Crews is dripping tools and his makeup is said to be off the charts. Teammate Paul Skenes is projected to go 2nd overall. Florida outfielder Wyatt Langford has been excellent all season. All 3 are already taken in my Dynasty League.

Do I Need a Bypass Trust?

A:

A Bypass Trust, also referred to as a Credit Shelter Trust, is a type of trust designed to minimize or eliminate estate tax for married couples. The main purpose of a bypass trust is to take advantage of the estate tax exemption available to each individual. Bypass trusts are also beneficial for blended families and add protection from creditors. A portion of the estate assets are transferred into the trust upon the death of the first spouse, effectively "bypassing" the surviving spouse's estate.

The federal government and certain states, including New York, impose estate tax on the transfer of wealth at death if the total estate value exceeds a certain threshold. For 2023, the federal individual estate tax exemption is $12.92 million and New York's is currently $6.58 million. This

means that if your estate does not exceed the exemption allowance, no estate tax is due at your death. In addition, there is an unlimited marital deduction for US spouses.

So, even if your estate exceeds these exemption amounts, no estate tax is due if you were to leave everything to your spouse. By leaving all assets to a spouse, you are only deferring estate tax until the death of the second spouse. The assets left at the surviving spouse's death are subject to estate tax. So, by using the unlimited marital deduction, you are wasting the deceased spouse's estate tax exemption.

Upon the first spouse’s death, the bypass trust captures the New York State or federal estate tax exemption amount, (whichever is lower at the time). The rest of the estate goes to the spouse either outright or in a marital trust using the unlimited marital

deduction. This preserves the deceased spouse's exemption in the credit shelter trust. The surviving spouse can be the trustee of the Bypass Trust and the beneficiary. Typically, the surviving spouse can draw income and principal from the Bypass Trust. Whatever is left in the bypass trust will be excluded from the surviving spouse’s estate for estate tax purposes.

Even if your estate does not come close to the historically high federal estate tax exemption, the exemption is set to sunset in 2026. At that time, it will be lowered to approximately $5.8 million. Further, in New York if your estate exceeds the New York exemption amount by 5%, there is no exemption at all, and the entire estate becomes taxable.

Bypass trusts are not used as much in states that do not impose estate tax since Congress

passed into law the "portability election" in 2013. Portability allows a surviving spouse to use any unused portion of their deceased spouse's federal estate tax exemption by simply filling out IRS tax form 706. This eliminated the need for a bypass trust. However, New York State does not have portability, so the bypass trust remains an important estate planning tool.

In addition to reducing estate taxes, a Bypass Trust gives creditor protection to the surviving spouse. By naming an individual other than your spouse as trustee, you can protect your spouse’s inheritance from dissipation due to poor business decisions or a new spouse. Further, with a Bypass Trust you can set the remainder beneficiaries (i.e. those who inherit the trust property after your spouse’s death). This is

appealing to second-marriage situations where each spouse has children from a prior marriage. Otherwise, there is a risk that the assets will be passed only to the surviving spouse's chosen beneficiaries, disinheriting your children.

By using a Bypass Trust, you can provide for your spouse after your death and ensure your descendants inherit with minimal or no estate tax. Consulting with an experienced trust and estates attorney is vital for couples with considerable assets or blended families.

ON THE SEA Ahoy, Skipper, Prepare to be Boarded

Unlike any other law enforcement arm, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) may board your boat at their discretion — they need no search warrant, no provocation, and no reason other than ensuring your boat is in full compliance with all applicable federal laws and regulations.

Do you know what you do and say (other than maybe “Yikes!”) if you see a USCG vessel in the vicinity and hear their voice on VHF channel 16 (or across the water) hailing your vessel and ordering you to bring your boat to a full stop?

You have been stopped by highly trained federal officers who will soon impress you with their professionalism. Before they even step off their vessel onto yours, the very first question they will ask you is, “Without reaching for them or touching them, do you have any weapons on board?” Subtly but powerfully, the tone is set: “I am polite. I am professional. And I mean business.” Let’s assume (and hope) that the answer to that question is “no” since an affirmative answer sets up a scenario outside the scope of this article.

Of note to boaters in the First Coast Guard District, which is us, the Coast Guard has a new program called the Responsible Boater program, which can make your time on the water much more pleasant – and safer.

Read on!

Once your boat is boarded, the officers will be seeking compliance with regulations, starting with those applicable to all boat sizes:

Your actual registration needs to be aboard and current. If you just have a copy, that’s a problem, but if you have no registration, you have a much bigger problem.

The Hull Identification Number needs to be the same on your registration and on your boat (embossed into the transom, low on the starboard side). If they don’t match, you’ve got a lot of explaining to do.

The registration numbers on the hull must be at least three inches high, appear as a contrasting color to your hull, and be the most forward of any numbering or lettering on the boat.

If you have a Marine Sanitation Device (aka head or toilet), it must conform to regulations. As Long Island is a “No Discharge Zone,” an over-board, through-hull holding tank must be in the locked/closed position and the key must under the control of the captain (no exceptions unless it can be seized closed or the handle can be removed in the closed position).

Other applicable laws and regulations are dictated by the size of

BY DOMINICK FORTE OF MEN & ANGELS

Willian Blake, poet and artist during England’s Romantic Age, saw angels in trees. He was only a ten-year-old boy who one day looked up and saw angels. Afterward could not stop drawing them and writing ecstatic poetry in tribute to them. His depictions included Jacob wrestling with an angel, an angel coming to Abraham, and Joseph Smith founding the Mormon Church after meeting with the angel Moroni.

We are told that angels appear as voices, dreams, signs, and visions and that they carry messages. A good question is why they appear at all, much less in one form or another. Some people insist that angels don’t exist because they have never seen one. People ask why they appear only to certain humans. Others believe they come to everyone.

Angels come in all sizes, shapes, and colors visible to the physical eye. But, for sure, people are always changed after having seen one. Some times

your vessel: Is there at least one readily available life jacket in good working order for every person aboard? To be readily available, the jackets must be out of the wrapper and not buried under other gear or in a cupboard (think of your children or grandchildren having to put them on in hurry).

The number of fire extinguishers depends on boat size, but all must be in working order.

The amount of required flares varies by boat size, but all must be unexpired.

Now that sounds like a lot and it is – and it should be. And the list gets longer as the boat size increases. However, if you already have a valid Vessel Safety Check sticker on your windshield, you are eligible for an “Abbreviated Boarding.”

An abbreviated boarding means that the Coast Guard will check for appropriate life-jackets for all aboard, that you have a sound-producing device, flares, registration and fire extinguisher (if required for the vessel of your size) aboard. That’s it.

After the vessel is checked for compliance, there are three outcomes. The first (and best) results in receipt of a Report of Boarding marked “No Violations.” You are likely good to go for the season because, if the USCG comes alongside again and you show

them your clean boarding report, they will likely pass on.

Your Report of Boarding could be marked “Written Warning” due to some violation that has not risen to an actionable level. However, if the officer returns to the station and finds that you were already given a warning for the same issue, the notice becomes a violation.

A “Notice of Violation” may be issued on the boat, resulting in one of two general outcomes. If the boarding officer believes that the nature of the violation is inherently unsafe (some aspect of your boat may lead to serious injury or death to you, your crew and passengers, or other boaters), you will be directed to follow the Coast Guard vessel back to the dock. If the violation is benign enough to allow your voyage to continue, it takes on the aspect of a driving violation. Outside the new Responsible Boater program, the notice is mailed to the USCG hearing office where the boarding report will be reviewed by a case officer who issues fines, further letters of violations, or takes other actions. You will be notified by mail and be given an opportunity to appeal.

However, under the new Responsible Boater program, the boarding officer will tell you to contact us, get the violation fixed and recorded as such on the Vessel Safety Check form (that the Vessel

Examiner will give you), mail them both in (Report of Boarding and VSC form) and, very likely, the Hearing Officer will note that and no fine will be levied. Fines can run high so this is free insurance!

Of course, if a search of the vessel and the persons aboard turns up anything deemed illegal, the USCG will take appropriate and immediate action.

So, how do you get a (free!) Vessel Safety Check? Captains can avail themselves of free Vessel Safety Checks provided by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power Squadrons (http://www.safetyseal. net/GetVSC/). Remember – a check is not an enforcement event — if your boat fails, you get a report that details the deficiency and the inspector’s phone number. He or she will tell you, “When you have this addressed, call me. I will come down and re-run the inspection.” This results in a Vessel Safety Check sticker of compliance being affixed to your windshield. Once there, you are considered a Responsible Boater, with all attendant benefits to you, your crew, your vessel and the USCG. BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at joinuscgaux@aol.com or go directly to the US Coast Guard Auxiliary “Flotilla Finder” at http://www. cgaux.org/units.php and we will help you “get in this thing . . .”

Angels Everywhere

angels come in the form of friends but it seems that are best recognized when they come as strangers, dancing into people’s lives for a only a moment and fleeting out again, sometimes without even leaving a name. Countless stories exist of angelic intercession and intervention.

When a spirit enters a room, you feel a chill as if a door has been left ajar. When it touches you or when its body passes through you, you feel an artic cold. All these signs mark the characteristics of a visiting ghost. But angels are different. No one whoever has seen an angel would mistake it for a ghost. Angels are noted for their warmth and light. All who speak of them agree on their iridescent luminance. They marvel at their brilliant colors or their glowing whiteness. People have reported being flooded with joy, laughter, and happiness.

Angels bring aid or messages of hope. Unlike lonely ghosts,

they do not wander about earthbound. Angels leave one with a calm serenity and those whom they have visited, even if not having seen the figure

itself, know that they have been brushed by “wings of silence,” as John Milton called them.

George Washington is said have been visited by an angel

at Valley Forge. Johnny Cash was twice visited by an angel, once when he was twelve and again as a grown man, each time to warn of an impending death. There’s the story of a college professor who saw a group of female angels, and another story of six Russian cosmonauts, all atheists, who twice sighted a band of angels up in space with wings as big as jumbo jets.

Angels carry messages. The very word in Greek means messenger. The Oxford Universal Dictionary gives the definition: “A ministering spirit or divine messenger; one of an order of spiritual beings superior to man in power and intelligence, who are the attendants and messengers of the Deity.”

Paul writes in chapter 13 in his letter to the Hebrews, “Remember to welcome strangers into your home. There are some who did that and welcomed angels without knowing it.”

This being the month of June, it is with great pride that the piece I’ve submitted in this issue is one that depicts what I believe the rainbow truly stands for according to the precious Word of God—as written in His Holy Book, the Bible.

ATokenofGod’sPromise Dear Lord!

Not only hast thou given Thy vow to never again punish the grievous wickedness of the world via the waters of a great flood— but, Thou hast gone beyond that, O Gracious God by sealing thy promise

with an awesome, heavenly sign, the rainbow— that beautiful arc

imbued with all the prismic colors our eyes so love to behold!

Local Emergency Order:

Allowing the County to quickly respond to the potential arrival of asylum seekers

I, Steven Bellone, Suffolk County Executive, in accordance with a Proclamation of a Local State of Emergency issued on May 26, 2023 do hereby find and order as follows:

Whereas, on August 2, 2021 the Federal Government issued an Order pursuant to 42 U.S.C. secs. 362 and 365 (the “Title 42 Order”) prohibiting migration into the United States by “covered noncitizens” traveling from Canada or Mexico; and

Whereas, the Title 42 Order expired on May 11, 2023 and upon its expiration, an anticipated surge of migration into the United States commenced resulting with the imminent arrival of individuals into New York State at an increased rate; and

Whereas, the State of New York has moved forward to tackle the housing crisis in a coordinated fashion by identifying suitable state and federal locations to provide temporary shelter; and

Whereas, the State of New York has communicated that financial resources shall be provided to cover expenses relating to services and costs associated with the relocation and housing of said asylum seekers; and

Whereas, Suffolk County recognizes that the United States of America is a nation of immigrants and that our immigrant communities today contribute significantly to our vibrancy and prosperity.

Now, therefore, I, Steven Bellone, Suffolk County Executive by the power vested in me by the Suffolk County Charter and the Laws of the State of New York and pursuant to Section 24 of Article 2-B of the New York State Executive Law, do hereby temporarily suspend or modify any statute, local law, resolution, order, rule or regulation or parts thereof, if compliance with such statute, local law, resolution, order, rule or regulation would prevent, hinder or delay action necessary to assist, aid or cope with the aforementioned State of Emergency, and I hereby order the following:

A. The formation of an intergovernmental team (the “intergovernmental team”) that includes the Chief Deputy County Executive, which shall coordinate with the State of New York in relation to activities

pursued by the State of New York involving the subject migrant population. The intergovernmental team will also communicate and coordinate with local notfor-profit organizations regarding resources that are available to assist in meeting the challenges faced by those impacted by this ongoing situation.

B. All County Departments are authorized to continue to communicate and work with the State of New York in conjunction and coordination with the County’s intergovernmental team regarding the temporary housing of individuals who are documented and legally released into the United States and are on the path to become eligible to enter the workforce; provided that:

a. A “Lead Agency” or “Agent” has been designated by the Governor of the State of New York; and

b. The Lead Agency or Agent has expressed specific and quantifiable resources available to provide for the temporary housing of asylum seekers; and

c. The State of New York authorizes and releases the necessary financial resources for all costs associated with relocation and temporary housing of asylum seekers; and

C. No hotel, motel, owner of a multiple dwelling, or shelter in Suffolk County is permitted to contract or otherwise engage in business with any other municipality (an “external municipality”) without the permission or coordination of the County of Suffolk and/or the State of New York for the purpose of providing housing or accommodations for asylum seekers. This prohibition extends to any person or entity participating in an external municipality’s government program, or a contract or service funded by an external municipality or acting on behalf of any external municipality.

D. In order to effectuate Suffolk County’s role in this emergency, all procurement policies for the purchase of equipment, supplies or contracts, relating to this

emergency, are suspended, specifically: Suffolk County Code Chapters 1065 and 189; Article IV sections A 4-13 and 14; Article V section A5-1; Charter section C5-2 (C) and (L); and Section A5-8, Chap. 575, Chap. 803, Chap. 353 and Local Law 41-2013 to the extent that they require execution of documentation of compliance; and all related procurement laws, rules, and regulations required to comply with this Emergency Order.

E. Regardless of any other remedy or relief brought by the County for any violation, the County Executive is authorized to direct the County Attorney to commence actions or proceedings in the name of the County, in a court of

competent jurisdiction, to abate any violation or, or to enforce any provision of this Emergency Order.

F. Remedies Not Exclusive.

a. No remedy or penalty specified in this Emergency Order shall be the exclusive remedy or remedy available to address any violation described in this Executive Order.

b. Each remedy or penalty specified in the Emergency Order shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, the other remedies or penalties specified in this Emergency Order or in any other applicable law.

c. Any remedy or penalty specified in this section

may be pursued at any time, whether prior to, simultaneously with, or after the pursuit of any other remedy or penalty specified in the Emergency Order or in any other applicable law.
