COUNTY Tech Chief Offers Cyber Attack Clues

ByRobertChartuk

A special committee tasked with ferreting out how Suffolk’s vast computer system was hacked leading to a months-long shut down costing millions and inflicting untold grief on the taxpayers was offered clues by the county clerk’s IT chief during a hearing on Friday.

“If a Chief Information Security Officer were in place, we would not be here today,” led off Peter Schlussler, who said he was made a “scapegoat” for the attack by County Executive Steve Bellone. “If the existing county DoIT leadership acknowledged the numerous red flags and my repeated email warnings and calls, we would not be here today,” he said, referring to Suffolk’s Department of Information Technology. “I come here today without counsel, a subpoena, or scores of consultants. I am here with truth, facts, and an unwavering willingness to support this committee’s investigation.”

Schlussler’s testimony drew a quick rebuke from Bellone’s office which had maintained that the cyberthieves, whose ransom demands caused him to shut down the network countywide, came in through the clerk’s office under Schlussler’s watch. “Today, the former Clerk IT Administrator lied before a legislative committee, acknowledged his office was the source of the cyber attack after his boss previously insisted that it wasn't and failed to address or refute any of the detailed evidence from the forensic examination,” said a statement provided by Nicole Russo in Bellone’s press office.

“Without the fanfare of an orchestrated political theater, l have previously submitted to this committee my report outlining numerous and repeated failings of the DoIT leadership,” Schlussler continued.

“This, in my opinion, will clearly demonstrate that the ransomware encryption attack unequivocally could have and should have been prevented had appropriate action been taken and my incessant warnings been heeded. These failings are indicative of what l call, Technical Elitism.”

According to Schlussler in

a 157-page written report, there were at least 60 red flag malware notifications between February and September prior to the ransomware demand. As evidence of the pending attack ramped up, Schlussler said he sought guidance from the county’s IT staff and went as far as to ask the county clerk at the time, Judy Pascale, to personally contact the district attorney “in an effort to motivate DoIT leadership into addressing our concerns ASAP.”

Schlussler testified that there was an FBI warning of a possible attack a few months prior, “yet DoIT leadership did not offer any guidance, let alone demonstrate any involvement or strategy. No follow-up was received.” He said his designee met weekly with the DoIT cybersecurity staff and nothing of any urgency related to the clerk’s office was addressed.

Pascale’s office was put under immediate suspicion by Bellone as the entry point of the hack, especially given that an illegal Bitcoin mining operation was alleged to have been set up in the clerk’s office by Christopher Naples, a Schlussler staffer who is facing criminal charges. Schlussler denied at the hearing that the Bitcoin setup had anything to do with the attack. Both men are currently on paid administrative leave.

Committee Member Robert Trotta said it was DoIT’s job to advise the clerk to make sure the county’s systems were safe. He referred to a letter from Pascale “essentially begging for help” and said Bellone was attempting to take the onus from his office and put it on the clerk. “Clearly, Bellone is either a liar or incompetent,” Trotta said. He also took issue with the county’s failure to obtain cybersecurity insurance and have an action plan in place if an attack were to occur. “The infrastructure was in such a sorry state.”

Schlussler acknowledged under questioning from Committee Member James Mazzarella that DoIT personnel had access to the clerk’s system. It was here that he said he offered to help review the security red flags and was denied. According to Schlussler, DoIT has “full centralized control over all

cybersecurity,” and that red flag information coming over a security console is difficult to comprehend. He was given access to the data for a day in an attempt to evaluate it, but was then cut off, leading to his charges of Technical Elitism among the DoIT staff. Also during questioning, Legislator Jason Richberg asked Schlussler why he didn’t bring his security concerns to the legislature, to which he said he brought them to the clerk who in turn notified the Suffolk district attorney.

Entered into the record as Exhibit 3 was an email chain between Pascale and the county’s IT department.

“As one of the largest revenue producers in Suffolk County, this office has transacted over $1.2 billion in municipal user fees over the course of the last two years alone,” Pascale wrote in June 2022 to Scott Mastellon in response to his denial of a request to purchase additional security components. “With this in mind, I was somewhat taken aback by statements that we have ‘not demonstrated an appropriate justification to support this purchase’ referring to our request for the VxRail Environment and Implementation Support as well as the Clerk’s Office Carbon Black/NSX Firewalls,” she said, warning, “Cybercrime is a constant, ongoing real threat. I’m sure you know that, should such an attack occur against

had requested access to the malware reports coming into the county, some pertaining to the clerk’s office, to help interpret them and respond to the threats, but was denied. The presiding officer stated during the hearing he was surprised to learn that the county’s Information Technology department had access to the clerk’s security system. “There’s plenty of blame to go around,” McCaffrey said.

the County Clerk’s system, the residual consequences will be devastating and, perhaps, beyond repair.”

Pascale concluded: “I respectfully request that additional consideration be made to my requests for the implementation of the best safeguards currently available on the market to maximally protect the County Clerk’s systems against all potential imminent threats.”

Informed of a $2.5 million ransomware demand on September 8, Bellone decided to shut down Suffolk’s network rather than acquiesce to the attackers. The move paralyzed government services and impacted every department from the county police to child protective services. The loss of county data handcuffed local governments and impacted the real estate industry as records became difficult to obtain.

Committee member Kevin McCaffrey, the legislature’s presiding officer, referenced social media posts by Schlussler warning of potential hacks and asked him why he didn’t speed up the implementation of security upgrades or make them a priority within his own staff. Schlussler countered by saying that upgrades were complex and time consuming, noting that while the clerk’s office handles security within its own operations, DoIT is responsible for the overall perimeter of the county’s system. He said he

Chaired by Legislator Anthony Piccirillo, the investigatory committee is among a few in county history that have been granted subpoena power. He stressed that the committee is not looking to play politics in the matter, but to find out how the attack occurred and steel the county’s system against further intrusion. “We are taking steps to make sure we are in a better place than we were before,” Piccirillo said, noting that the legislature would be hiring additional experts to assist with its review and provide recommendations.

As the committee was gearing up its investigation after hiring a cybersecurity expert, former acting U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue last month, Bellone announced the appointment of the county’s first Information Office chief. According to Bellone, Kenneth Brancik will be tasked with setting cyber security policy, procedure, risk management, and governance, along with advancing an enterprise-wide security architecture for the entire county. Brancik will work to “move away from the decentralized IT structure that failed this county.” He will be "absolutely critical to creating an enterprise-wide security architecture that will be responsible for a stronger and more resilient network,” Bellone said at the time.

The county executive did not respond to requests for further comment on Schlussler’s testimony or the ongoing investigation. The agenda for the special committee’s next set of witnesses has not been announced, but may include Pascale, who has already met with investigators and said she would voluntarily testify, and the Bellone DoIT personnel who are under subpoena to provide their part of the story.

Immigration, Cyber Security are Pressing Legislative Issues

ByRobertChartuk

With no updates from Gov. Kathy Hochul and facing a lawsuit by the New York mayor, the leader of the Suffolk Legislature is girding for an upcoming battle over the relocation of the 74,000 migrants overwhelming the city’s emergency housing system. In a wide-ranging interview with the South Shore Press, Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey discussed the immigration crisis and another issue that is riveting attention on county government: the investigation into the cyberattack that shut down Suffolk’s computer network for months.

Following a raucous hearing June 1, the legislature approved McCaffrey’s resolution to hire a special counsel to provide Suffolk lawmakers with options on how to handle attempts to relocate migrants to the county. The measure came as county Executive Steve Bellone announced the creation of a taskforce to review any placement efforts. His plan was immediately followed by a lawsuit filed by Mayor Eric Adams aiming 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.”

According to McCaffrey, more than 2,000 migrants are coming into New York each week with at least half of the hotels in the city being used to house them.

“They’ve allowed themselves to be overwhelmed by declaring New York a Sanctuary City. Suffolk County is not. They’re not able to handle it,” he said, noting that city officials are under a dubious legal mandate ordering them to provide housing to anyone in need.

“While the city is willing to pay room and board for the migrants, there’s not enough money for the services they would require, including schooling, health care, and emergency response.” These costs, McCaffrey stressed, would be borne by local taxpayers. “We just won’t be able to afford an influx of this magnitude.”

The Presiding Officer surmised that many recent arrivals have already settled in Suffolk and are “living off the grid” with friends or family members as part of an underground economy made necessary by their legal status. The judicial process as it currently stands to handle asylum claims, the chief reason the migrants are using to enter the country, will take years to handle the load, he noted. “In the meantime, they are not paying taxes and are looking to be supported by those who are,” McCaffrey said.

“We can’t afford the problems created by the Biden Administration’s open-door policies,” McCaffrey stressed, which is the position of his majority GOP caucus. “Bringing five million people into our country is just not sustainable. They’ve given up operational control of the border and are relying on Third World countries to conduct background checks on the people that are coming here. We are not anti-immigrant; my parents were not born here. They came in through a process, but right now there is no process, the system has been short circuited. This is unfair to those who are legally,” McCaffrey went on. “The administration is sending the wrong message, someone has to put their foot down,” McCaffrey said, adding that the legislature is narrowing down its choice for a special counsel and will make an announcement soon. “Thankfully, there are no busloads coming to Suffolk at present, our finger is in the dike right now.”

McCaffrey concluded his remarks on the immigration topic with: “The open-door policy is driven by the Progressive side of the Democrat party. Next, they will argue for amnesty, citizen status. They are doing this under the belief that the immigrants who are relying on government services will be more sympathetic to the Democrats when it comes to elections.”

Since announcing his special immigration committee, county Executive Bellone has been mum on the issue. His office has not said if the county will challenge rulings on the ability of counties to fight the migrant relocation efforts and consistently fails to respond to requests for comment by the South Shore Press.

McCaffrey is also part of the special committee he created to get to the bottom of the cyberattack that crippled county operations for months and exposed the personal information of hundreds of thousands of county workers and residents. “The more people we speak to, the more we realize just how vulnerable the county system was,” McCaffrey said, calling the problem an administrative one, rather than just a security issue. “We made recommendations to hire a security chief three years ago and it just sat on the shelf. A security officer would have taken control immediately,” he said, noting that the county’s firewalls were reaching the end of their useful lifespans. “There was no urgency to replace them.”

McCaffrey waded into the complexities of the county’s various security systems and vendors at a hearing Friday featuring Peter Schlussler, the

IT chief for the county clerk’s office, which was fingered by Bellone as being the entry point for the cyberhackers. He discussed the viability of an overall system protecting all county departments while integrating the security operations of offices such as the county clerk. Aside from investigating the source of the attack, McCaffrey said the committee is conducting background work to develop plans and procedures to make sure the county is protected. “The whole

thing is very concerning to me.”

Legislator Anthony Piccirillo, chair of the cyberattack committee, credited McCaffrey for initiating the investigation and giving the special committee subpoena powers. “We’re having hearings on the big issues for the first time and Presiding Officer McCaffrey gets the credit. We are opening up the process.” He said they will be pushing to lift the Emergency Orders Bellone issued to avoid legislative review of the hiring of security consultants and

other unilateral actions by the county executive. “We need to get back to regular order.”

The Presiding Officer also commented on the state legislation that cleared the way for Suffolk to hold a public vote on creating a countywide sewer district and increasing the sales tax an eighth of a cent for wastewater treatment efforts. He said the plan focuses too much on upgrading individual cesspools, and not enough on building new sewers.

“There’s no dedicated revenue stream for sewers,” he said of the state legislation, adding that he is studying the proposals to make sure they achieve the goals of the county’s Subwatersheds Wastewater Plan. Representing an area that includes the Southwest Sewer District, a project that set sewering back decades because of its corruption, McCaffrey said he is looking for more details on how a countywide district would affect existing users. The legislature is holding public hearings on the issue and McCaffrey said he wants to hear from all of the stakeholders before deciding on scheduling the referendum.

Suffolk Leads State in Gun Confiscations

With more than 1,400 Suffolk residents having their guns taken away from them over the last 13 months through New York’s Red Flag Law, the county leads the state by far in gun confiscations. The weapons grab escalated after Gov. Kathy Hochul, in response to a mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket, issued an Executive Order requiring law enforcement agencies to more aggressively seize weapons from those deemed dangerous through Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs).

Police in Suffolk were the most active, taking guns from 1,407 people with the rest of the state having 3,302 of the ERPOs in place, according to a government chart. The statistics show a dramatic increase in seizures following Hochul’s order. Buffalo’s Erie County had 267.

“We have a lot of buy-in in Suffolk County with the county executive, the sheriff and courts,” said Kate Fohrkolb, assistant deputy police commissioner for Suffolk. “We really have a lot of stakeholders who see the value in all this, and we work together. It’s a

great tool, and it’s another way for officers to prevent another violent act,” Fohrkolb said. “We just want to help keep people safe.”

Hochul issued her order four days after the Buffalo shooting and a few weeks later, the state legislature joined her in approving a new law expanding the executive order to all law enforcement agencies and district attorneys. "After 10 of my neighbors in Buffalo were murdered in a mass shooting, I wanted to make sure New York used every possible tool we had to get guns away from dangerous individuals and protect New Yorkers,” Hochul said. “Through executive

action and working with the legislature, I strengthened our gun safety laws, including our Red Flag Laws, and these actions are working, helping keep New Yorkers safe.”

The Red Flag law is facing court challenges. Monroe and Orange counties won rulings in favor of their argument that the law doesn’t provide due process to individuals and violates the Second Amendment. Justice Craig Stephen Brown, sitting in Orange County, said a medical or mental health expert — not law enforcement — should determine whether a person is a threat to himself or others. Both lawsuits are under appeal by the state.

Central Islip Choir Takes Top Honors at Walt Disney World Honors

ByBarbaraLaMonica

The Central Islip High School Sweet Adelines, under the direction of music teacher, Mrs. Theresa O'Connor were awarded first place at the 2023 Walt Disney World Honors in Florida. The "magic formula" for the success is "discipline, dedication, determination and talent," O'Connor says. Sweet Adelines is a highly-decorated all-female acapella vocal choir, having earned numerous awards of distinction during music festival competitions. Their latest is coming in best overall after competing alongside their music peers from choirs and instrumental ensembles from across the United States. The top award is the Golden Mickey statue which is on display in the music suite at Central Islip High School. The Sweet Adelines also took first place in women's

choir groups. Earlier last month, the National School Music Association, (NYSSMA) Major Organization Evaluation Festival, awarded the Sweet Adelines a Level 6 Gold with Distinction grade - the highest rating issued by a panel of adjudicators.

Sweet Adelines Director, Mrs. Theresa O'Connor, said she was "proud of her students" and honored that they earned top place after competing with other fine music ensembles from other states. The students perform throughout the year at numerous community events, frequently

opening up special occasions with the Star Spangled Banner, and sing before standing-roomonly winter and spring concerts at Central Islip High School.

Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Sharon A. Dungee, lauded the Sweet Adelines, saying they are "admirable and commendable role models" for their musicianship, academic excellence and sense of community.

The Sweet Adelines were recognized last week by the Suffolk County Legislature for their top standings in the Walt Disney World Music Festival Honors. Legislator Steve Flotteron introduced Mrs. O'Connor and her students and presented each student with a certificate of recognition. Flotteron invited Sweet Adelines to entertain their audience at the Legislature where they performed their acapella version of Mr. Sandman.

Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School Students Board “The Rosie” for a Fishing Excursion

Colonial and the Summit Team up to Raise Money for Prom Assistance

Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School students from Michael Murphy’s fourth-grade class and Dina Matty’s third-grade class recently participated in the Send a Kid Fishing program, a fun and educational trip on the “Rosie,” a charter out of Center Moriches. The mission of this project is to expose and educate the future generations about the world of fishing and conservation and to have a little fun in the process!

Prior to the fishing excursion, Mr. Murphy shared how students were excited to learn how to fish or for those who have been fishing before, build upon their fishing skills. For many students, this was their first time fishing or even holding a fishing pole.

Students had a great time on the water! One student, Emily, caught an eight-and-ahalf pound fluke, the largest

so far this season on the Rosie. Another student, Gionni, told his parents after the trip that it was the best day of his life.

“What a great experience it was,” added Mr. Murphy.

The mission of the Send a Kid Fishing program is to expose and educate the future generations about the world of fishing and conservation. The program, started 35 years ago by Fred Golofaro, the former senior editor of The Fisherman, provides children with the opportunity to fish.

Mr. Golofaro believed that giving kids the chance to get out on the water would encourage a lifelong love and appreciation for fishing, and educate/assist in conservation efforts. Fred passed away in 2021 and the program is continued by his son, Paul. Special thanks to the Send a Kid Fishing Sportfishing Fund for making this experience possible.

Volunteers from Colonial's Community Volunteer Corps sponsored by Colonial Youth and Family Services, and members of the William Floyd Community Summit worked together to raise money for prom assistance. This school year efforts by these two organizations raised $1,201. This effort enables an additional ten students to attend prom. Roses were sold every month at William Floyd High School. Proceeds were raised and donated to the school to help students with financial needs to attend the

Local Chambers Convene to Network

ByBarbaraLaMonica

Bellport Country Club was the setting where merchants and business owners from five local chambers of commerce met for a working breakfast to share, promote and network activities within their communities. June 14 was the first time since the pandemic in 2020 that the annual breakfast networking event reconvened, according to event organizer Paul Quinn, vice president of the Federal Savings Bank of Melville.

An estimated 70 merchants were joined by the Chamber of Commerce of Mastic and Shirley President Frank Montanez; Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce President David Kennedy; Bellport Chamber of

Commerce Co-Presidents Terry Tuthill and LuAnn Thompson; Greater Gordon Heights Chamber of Commerce President Edna White; and Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches Treasurer Gerry Sapanaro.

Each president or chamber representative outlined an overview of highlights within their communities. Dave Kennedy, President of the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce noted that his Chamber will be celebrating its centennial celebration in the year ahead with an array of events that are in the planning stages. Kennedy encourages residents to "stay tuned" as plans evolve and more information becomes available.

Patchogue is also the home the famed Patchogue Theater and dozens

of local restaurants that feature cuisine from ethnicities around the globe. Kennedy encourages people from inside and outside Patchogue Village to save the dates from July 20 to July 23 when thousands will converge down to Shorefront Park for the 14th Anniversary of the Great South Bay Music Festival.

And, Alive After Five on Friday evenings continues its longstanding tradition of neighbors gathering in the heart of the village for food, fun and company.

Ava Torres, President of the Greater Mastic Beach Chamber of Commerce, which was a sponsor of the chamber networking event, noted that a variety of projects are on tap for the Mastic Beach community-at-large. First up, Torres noted the community's

newest business to set up shop in the community: "Sabor Latino, (a new deli on Commack and Neighborhood roads), is absolutely incredible! They did a wonderful job setting up the place and the food is amazing." Torres noted a larger scale effort that has tightly knitted the already close community together: "We're all consolidated and working together on the Beechwood Project, making sure everyone (merchants and residents), get their fair share, and working with businesses looking for new locations," Torres said. "We're also working with all of our civics groups to coordinate fundraising efforts together.

"We're part of another significant effort in working together on the revitalization of Violets Cove," Torres said. Torres, who represents the Greater Mastic Beach Chamber of Commerce on the Board, said that the revitalization is in its beginning stages but that things are evolving. "We have the Chamber of Commerce and civics working together to develop projects that will bring in development and we can utilize this beautiful area," she

said. "We've also been incorporating the Civics to work together with the American Legion. The Chamber," Torres said, is very involved with American Legion setting up for parades and activities together," she said.

An array of activities and events are being planned for busy Bellport where a full holiday weekend of events are scheduled, including the Antique Fair, sponsored by the Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society, and an Antiques and Collectibles Fair at Mary Immaculate Church. The popular Bellport Bay 5K tradition is set to step off, raise or shine, at 5 p.m., at Bellport Bay. July 29th is reserved for the ever popular Bellport Day. Finally, the Village is home to another famed stage venue, The Gateway Playhouse. For a schedule of the season's performances and activities, patrons and guests can call 631-286-1133.

Residents are asked to contact their respective chambers of commerce for more details on upcoming events.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP Bill on Restricting Use of Exotic Animals in "Traveling

It’s a bipartisan initiative on the Suffolk County Legislature to deal with an unusual issue for the county’s governing body—“A Local Law to Restrict the Use of Exotic Animals in Traveling Performances,” it’s titled. The measure has been on the legislative table for seven months. One of its co-sponsors, Jason Richberg, said last week that his hope is that it will pass “by the end of the summer.”

Richberg, a West Babylon Democrat and former chief of staff and also clerk of the legislature, says “we’re working on the right language—making sure that all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed.”

The Republican co-sponsor of the bill is Trish Bergin of East Islip, a reporter and anchor for News 12 Long Island, elected to the Islip Town Board on which she served for 12 years and then elected to the Suffolk Legislature. She says she is especially concerned about such animals brought to birthday parties. “It is important that children attending birthday parties are kept out of harm's way,” she said. “These encounters with exotic animals that have large claws and large teeth, and may also carry diseases, pose a hazard to small children."

The measure begins by declaring that “this legislature hereby finds and determines that for profit traveling performances, shows or zoos that involve exotic, wild and/or non-

domesticated animals are detrimental to animal welfare due to the adverse effect of severe confinement, lack of free exercise, physical coercion and the restriction of natural behaviors.”

It adds “this legislature further finds and determines that exotic, wild and/ or non-domesticated animals pose an additional risk to public safety because such animals have wild instincts and needs and have demonstrated unpredictability.”

Further, these “traveling performances increase the possibility of escaping exotic, wild and/or nondomesticated animals which can wreak havoc, seriously harm workers and the public.” And, to justify the Suffolk Legislature approving the measure, it says that “county government has broad powers to enact legislation relating to the health, safety and welfare of citizens.”

At one of the public hearings on the bill, John DiLeonardo, president of Humane Long Island, a wildlife rehabilitator and a Riverhead resident, testified: “My organization has long opposed the abuse of wild and exotic animals and traveling acts” and has been involved in “convincing Suffolk County venues to stop allowing exhibitors to”—as an example— strapping “toothless monkeys to the backs of dogs.”

Moreover, said DiLeonardo, with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum &

VETERANS WAY

BY REV. FREDERICK MILLER. PH.D.

Veterans face a host of unique challenges that civilian members of American society don’t always understand. The lack of institutional support often means Veterans find themselves in unfortunate situations with little to no outside help.

Homelessness

Approximately one third of all homeless Americans are Veterans. Veterans with untreated PTSD can develop alcohol and drug addictions, which are high-risk behaviors that can lead to deteriorating mental health and suicide. You can get in touch with the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, a nonprofit group dedicated to helping homeless veterans find housing, health services, food, and job training. Help can be reached by contacting either Kathryn Monet CEO, National Coalition for Homeless

Bailey Circus now moving to shows “without animals, and more than 150 cities and counties across 37 states having restricted or banned the use of wild animals in circuses and traveling shows, it has never been clearer that the public has turned its back on cruel and dangerous animal acts.”

Also testifiying, Joann Cave of Nesconset, representing the Humane Society of the United States, told the Suffolk Legislature that the society is “thoroughly in support of this resolution. There has definitely been a growing public awareness about the miserable lives that are endured by animals that are used in traveling shows. The animals spend most of their time in extreme confinement, and they are deprived of everything natural to them.

Spurring the introduction of the measure has been Sloth Encounters, a business in Hauppauge that has people hold, feed and pet sloths— slow-moving tree-dwelling tropical animals—and, according to an article in Newsday, offers “home visits.”

On its website, Sloth Encounters declares: “We are an animal loving company. We love all of our furry to scaly friends. From regular household pets to exotic animals.” It goes on: “We are New York's Premier location for Sloth Education as well as all animals at our location. The only place anywhere on Long Island that literally puts you in direct contact with our

sloths.”

It adds: “Many states have laws that specifically prohibit individuals from keeping certain exotic animals— including sloths—as pets in their households. New York is not one of those states. In New York….you’re only prohibited from owning wild animals. Specifically, it’s a crime to own, possess, or harbor ‘a wild animal or reptile capable of inflicting bodily harm upon a human being.’ A sloth is NOT a wild animal.”

Bonnie Klapper of Sag Harbor, a

former assistant U.S. attorney and legal counsel and a board member of Humane Long Island, said in an interview last week: “The proposed law seeks to protect both humans and animals from zoonotic diseases and injury such as bites. Currently, these wild animal acts are both underregulated and under-inspected. They move from place to place making inspection almost impossible. The last thing the world needs now is another pandemic resulting from the interaction between humans and wild animals.”

Unemployment

Many disabled Veterans are unable to find solid work once they return home. Plus, Veterans who joined the military right after high school often don’t have the education that their peers received, which puts them at the hiring disadvantage.

Poor Mental Health

Unfortunately, suicide and depression rates remain high among members of the Armed forces. This is part because of the social stigmas attached to seeking mental health treatment, which leads to high rates of untreated PTSD in returning Veterans.

One of the great advantages Veterans have is the GI Bill that

Bellport High School Wraps Up Successful 2022-23 Year

ByNickCipolla

Bellport High School and first year athletic director Patrick Hayes had a year to remember in 2023.

The Bellport Captains had a year full of both team and individual accomplishment. All three seasons saw a team make the postseason paired with a healthy amount of All-League, All-Division, and All-County athletes.

In the fall, the Clippers had a football season to remember. Led by head coach Jamie Fabian, Bellport was 7-1 in league play and was 10-2 overall. The Clippers won the Suffolk County Division II Championship, besting Northport by a score of 35-14. They would see their season come to an end during the Long Island Championship as they lost to Garden City.

The football team brought home plenty of individual hardware as well. Coach Fabian was named the Division II Coach of the Year.

Jason Hunt, Donte Phillips, Justin Miles, Luis Rodriguez, and Alex Brigadir were AllCounty Selections for Bellport. Three of the five guys who made All-County were also AllState Selections. Jesse Barnes, Jaiden Green, Kyle Brown, and Treyvon Holland all made first team All-Division while Josh Kelley, Caleb White, and Tyler Burke made second team AllDivision.

Switching over from one form of football to the other, the boys soccer team had another successful season that saw them make the county playoffs once again. Jon Carlos

Rodriguez, William Escobar, Jesse Barbecho, Nick Reinoso were all named All-League for the Clippers soccer team.

Nick Reinoso would also make All-Conference this fall and he was joined by his teammate Brian Escobar on the All-Conference team. Escobar had one heck of a soccer season, he would also be named AllCounty for the fall season.

Aiden Donaghy would round out the soccer achievements as he was named Academic AllCounty for his prowess both on the pitch and in the classroom.

Rounding out the playoff appearances for the fall season was the girls volleyball team. They were led by All-League selections Skye Dodge, Ashley Schultz, and the league’s Defensive Player of the Year Gianna Bowe.

One team Patrick Hayes made sure to mention to us was the girls soccer team. The girls varsity team was selected by the coaches in League 2 as the “Sportsmanship Team” for the 2022 season.

During the winter season, the boys basketball team had

a season most schools would consider a success. The Clippers sent another team to the County Finals as they would yet again fall in the big game, but they had a lot to be proud of. They were League II Champions and their Head Coach Peter Grossi won the League’s Coach of the Year award.

The basketball team was led by All-League, All-Conference, and All-County selection Samir Bell. Joining Bell on the All-League team by Jason Hunt and Xavier George.

The team that really performed out of this world this season was the boys wrestling team. As a team, Bellport won the League IV Championship and finished fifth overall at the County Championship Meet under the leadership of League IV Coach of the Year Charles Maragioglio.

Individually, this team was also dominant. They had a total of seven individual League Champions and thirteen wrestlers make it to the County Championship meet. Jaiden Green, Camryn Howard, Mikael-Anthony Neris, Luis

Ex-Met Daniel Murphy Agrees to Minor League Deal With Angels

ByNickCipolla

After making his return to baseball this year, Daniel Murphy has secured himself a chance to make it back to the Major Leagues.

Murphy, 38, announced his retirement after the 2020 season where he managed to play 40 of 60 possible games and set new career lows across the board as a member of the Colorado Rockies.

The Three Time All-Star

decided to make a comeback tour this winter when he and the Long Island Ducks agreed to a one year contract. All he did as a Duck was hit, slashing .331/.410/.451 with an OPS of .861.

This caught the attention of the Los Angeles Angels, who decided to purchase Murphy’s contract from the Ducks and assign him to their Triple-A Affiliate in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Rodriguez, Henry Caceras, Bobby John, and Isiah Green all brought home a League Title.

They also sent three guys to the state meet this winter, two of which came back with All-State Honors. 7th-Grader Camryn Howard (placed 8th in his weight class) and Jaiden Green (placed 5th in his weight class) took home All-State Honors, capping off a successful wrestling season.

On the track, Ella Masem joined in on the All-State party as she would have one of the best indoor track seasons in recent memory. She made the state meet as a member of the eventual State Champion Intersectional Relay – which is when each section in New York pairs four runners that were All-County selections and put them into a Distance Medley Relay– and in the process set a new state record with her fellow section-mates.

As the school year started to wind down, we saw yet

Murphy was best known for his 2015 postseason with the New York Mets where he hit 7 Home Runs, 8 RBI’s, and won NLCS MVP. He also had an elite 2016 with the Washington Nationals where he hit .346 and was second in MVP voting behind Kris Bryant.

As a corresponding move, the Long Island Ducks announced the signing of Ruben Tejada, who was one of Murphy’s old Mets teammates.

another Bellport team make a playoff appearance. This time, it was the girls lacrosse team who punched their ticket to the playoffs. They were led by All-County performer Andie Pedatella and All-County Honorable Mention Brynn Johnsen.

On the Baseball Diamond, the team may not have made the postseason but it was a season to remember for Jake Russo as he was named AllCounty.

Wrapping up the All-County appearances for the Clippers were track athletes Vincent Pitre Jr. and Izaiah Green.

Bellport High School and South Country Schools had a great year in 2023. The goal for the 2023-24 school year is to grow.

“My only goal for next year is to grow,” said Hayes. “I am super proud of the athletes at our school and I am excited to see how much we can grow as a community next school year.”

Josh Knoth Joins Long Island Baseball Mt. Rushmore With his Second Yastrzemski Award Win

ByNickCipolla

In his final year of play, Josh Knoth had the opportunity to etch his name amongst the greatest baseball players to ever play high school baseball on Long Island.

On Monday night at the Suffolk County Baseball awards dinner, Knoth was presented with his second Yastrzemski award of his career, putting him into a different tier of Long Island baseball royalty.

Josh Knoth’s accomplishments have already been well documented. From the perfect games, school records, and mythical stats, he has more than earned this award for the second straight year.

He is only the third high schooler to ever win the award twice, joining Shoreham/ Wading River’s Brian Morrell (2016, 2017) and East Islip’s Ron Witmeyer (1984, 1985).

Morrell was a star two-way player – meaning he pitched and hit – for the Wildcats who was drafted by the Phillies out of High School, but Morell passed up on

that opportunity to go play at Notre Dame. Witmeyer won the award twice, beating out future baseball Hall of Famer Craig Biggio for the award. Witmeyer went on to win two College World Series titles with Stanford University before spending a few years with the Oakland Athletics where he mostly played in the Minor Leagues.

Knoth has officially placed himself on the all-time lists with this monumental win as he is now up there with names like

Marcus Stroman, Steven Matz, and other high schoolers who dominated the Long Island High School circuit.

The 17 year old right hander – who is currently committed to Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi – will have a chance to become even better than anyone that has come before him. He could end up being the first Long Island high school player drafted in the first round of the draft. He has been projected to go as high as 30th overall to the Seattle

Mariners and scouts have been falling in love with his curveball.

As the days until the draft pass us by, we can only speculate

where Knoth will land in the 2023 MLB Draft. He has a bright future ahead of him and it will be exciting to follow his story beyond the high school ranks.

PGA Commissioner Monahan Takes a Medical Leave From the PGA

ByNickCipolla

Jay Monahan has been all over the news this week due to the announcement of the PGA/LIV Merger, however he made the news yesterday for a different reason.

Monahan allegedly has suffered a medical emergency and announced that he will be stepping away from the day-today operations for the foreseeable future.

It’s been a week for the Tour that has been full of PR nightmares and controversy. Last Tuesday, the PGA announced that

it had entered into a partnership with the controversial Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia’s LIV Golf and the DP World Tour.

In an article by NBC Sports, Monahan said only that they had reached a “framework” agreement to create a new forprofit company, but that many of the details would be ironed out over the coming weeks.

The exact medical emergency suffered by Monahan is unknown to the public at this time. The 55 year old has been the commissioner of the PGA since 2017.

The New York Yankees have lost their captain, and best player, to the injured list and they are lost without him. Aaron Judge went down with an injury officially landing on the injured list on June 6th, but he has not played a game since running into the wall at Dodgers Stadium on June 3rd. Manager Aaron Boone was asked about Judge's timeline last week and said he was as curious as anyone as to when his star might reenter the lineup.

The Yankees desperately need Judge's impact. The Bombers have been anything but since he landed on the IL. New York has not won a series since then and are averaging just about 3 runs

per game. Judge missed time earlier in the year as well and the Yankees now are under .500 when his big bat is not in the lineup. That lineup is looking for someone to step up and his absence only highlights the offensive struggles that New York fans have learned to expect in October.

Entering the weekend Judge's supporting cast has not been able to produce nearly anything without the slugger. Anthony Rizzo is batting under .100 without Judge. Rizzo started the year off red hot and has since hit a wall at a time when the Yankees needed his production badly. Both Stanton and Donaldson are in the same boat with

Recently I wrote about the 2023 struggles of Trea Turner and a night or two later he went out 4-for-5 and hit two home runs. While the Trea Turner batting average has climbed back above .250 Mike Trout is headed in the opposite direction. As we go to press, Trout has slumped to a batting average of .248 but to be honest, most of his offensive game looks fine and he even stole his first base of the season the other night. Trout has hit 14 home runs and his OPS stands at a rock solid .814. Now some of you will point out that Trout build up a standard of putting up OPS figures closer to 1.00, but yes, we are also not used to his batting average being down to .248. So what gives with Mike Trout?

I went straight to some of the advanced batting metric to see what Trout was doing in 2023 and it struck me that Trout’s BABIP was down to .305 and Trout has had a career mark of .345 for his BABIP. BABIP is an acronym standing for Batting Average on Balls in Play. But I also took a peek at Trout’s sprint speed as measured by STATCAST. There is no slippage in Trout’s sprint speed. So, when a player does age

under .100 batting average. They are coming back from injuries themselves but enough time has passed where it's fair to expect more production. DJ and Torres aren't doing much better with each flirting with a .200 batting average.

The Yankees were hoping to stay afloat during Judge's absence but they are in danger if one of their high priced batters can't get it going. With the trade deadline a little more than a month away getting an impact bat should be priority #1 on Cashman's list. Judge can't do this alone and he seemingly has been for two seasons.

Mike Trout is Hitting

Below .250

data that he is not hitting the ball as hard as he always has. I see nothing in his STATCAST sprint speeds to tell me he has slowed down on the basepaths. I expect to see a rebound in his BABIP, and with that will come a rebound in his overall batting average. There will be owners who get skittish about Trout’s batting average taking a tumble. Perfect buy low opportunity for me. I would target Trout owners in my league. Winning seasons are made by exploiting misperceptions in the true values of all players.

at Double-AA, Sheehan has struck out 88 batters, a rather gaudy 14.94 batters per 9 innings pitched. His 1.86 ERA is a dominant figure. For re-draft leagues, it might just turn out that this is a spot start, and that the Dodgers want him to put in the development time at Triple-AAA Albuquerque. But in dynasty leagues, this is a must add, because this flamethrower looks like the second coming of Walker Buehler.

and experiences slippage in his sprint speed, it often does follow that players do experience a lower BABIP as they age and get slower on the basepaths. That is not the case here though.

We do sometimes see players go through stretches of bad luck in their BABIP figures. And that

is all that may be going on here with Mike Trout. With a 40 point drop on his batting average on balls that he puts in play, it is natural to see his batting average drop in kind. I am going to watch Trout more closely as the season progresses. At this time, I don’t see anything in Trout’s STATCAST

An interesting opportunity presents itself in a minor league call up for the Dodgers on Friday night June 16th. The young man’s name is Emmett Sheehan and by all counts he is the best pitching prospect in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Sheehan has pitched at Double-AA all season, and this is not a trademark of the Dodgers’ development program to skip development levels. But while Sheehan was notified by the Dodgers that he was going to be promoted to their Triple AAA team, they changed those plans and promoted him to make this Friday night start against San Francisco. In 53 innings of work

While we are discussing dynasty leagues, I am often asked to give out prospect tips on players dominating at the High A-level who might get on to the Top 100 prospect lists for winter 2023/2024. Look no further than Pittsburgh shortstop, Tsung CheCheng. He has 34 walks alongside 39 strikeouts. His OPS is above 1.00 and he is hitting .322 year to date. I can’t get enough guys like this on to my dynasty rosters. The Padres also have a young SS who might not get an opportunity for playing time in 2023 but Jackson Merrill is turning heads at High-A as well. Merrill had a very slow start in April, but he has all 5 tools and he will be a major league SS. He is also not a hot target yet. YET.

Estate Planning When There's a Chronic Illness

My father’s Alzheimer’s has progressed to the point where he cannot recognize me or other family members. He never completed an estate plan. What are my options to be able to pay his bills and make health care decisions for him? I am an only child and feel overwhelmed.

The first issue to consider is whether your father has the legal capacity to execute a Power of Attorney (which would enable you to handle his finances) and a Health Care Proxy (which would allow you to make medical decisions for him if he’s unable). While legal capacity is often a gray area, the test is whether the individual is able to comprehend the nature and consequences of the documents he/she is signing.

If your father lacks legal capacity, which seems to be the case as he cannot recognize you or your family members, your remaining options are limited. You may still be able to pay his bills to the extent you are named as a joint-owner on any of his bank accounts. However, your authority would be limited to

any such jointly-owned accounts and without a Power of Attorney you wouldn’t be able to handle any other assets or apply for government benefits on his behalf, to name a few examples.

The only remaining option would be to file a petition for the Court to appoint you as your father’s legal guardian pursuant to Article 81 of New York’s Mental Hygiene Law. This would involve the filing of the petition and order to show cause with the Court and then serving these papers on all interested parties such as his wife, siblings, and parents, if living. All the parties involved will then be interviewed by the Court Evaluator who will submit a report to the Court to inform its decision as to whether a guardian is necessary and, if so, what powers the guardian

As of June 1, hurricane season is upon us. Almost without exception, we get the tail, shoulder or rump of one or two of the dozen or so that form up in the Atlantic between the Caribbean and Africa and bring so much destruction and misery with them as they thunder west and north…

Many of us live on an island. And now an “average” season is worse than ever. This column is about that.

NOAA predicts a nearnormal 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season

NOAA forecasters with the Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service, predict nearnormal hurricane activity in the Atlantic this year. NOAA’s outlook for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, which goes from June 1 to November 30, predicts a 40% chance of a nearnormal season, a 30% chance of an above-normal season and a 30% chance of a below-normal season.

NOAA is forecasting a range

of 12 to 17 total named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher).

Of those, 5 to 9 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 1 to 4 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). NOAA has a 70% confidence in these ranges.

“Major hurricanes” are defined as Category 3, 4 or 5 based on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (see table below.) Hurricanes that fall in these categories have sustained winds above 111 miles per hour, which can cause catastrophic damage that could result

handle your father’s financial affairs and make health care decisions for him, but only to the extent the Order grants you these powers.

Needless to say, this is a very brief overview of the guardianship process, which can be complex and time-consuming, especially if the guardianship petition is contested by other relatives or loved ones. This is why it is important to retain a skilled attorney to represent you in the guardianship proceedings and help you take care of your father’s finances and health care decisions in the absence of a Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy.

Categories of Hurricanes

We’ve all heard the weather reporter state that “Hurricane ‘x’ is now a Category 3 hurricane and headed for ________.”

What does that mean?

Want to put some names on the numbers?

Irene, 1999, CAT-1 Sandy, 2012, CAT-1

Floyd, 1999, CAT-2

Georges, 1998, CAT-2

Betsy, 1965, CAT-3

Alicia, 1983, CAT-3

Hugo, 1989, CAT-4

Andrew, 1992, CAT-5

Katrina, 2005, CAT-5

Dorian, 2019, CAT-5

USCG hurricane aircraft reported Andrew, Katrina and Dorian had generated winds over 200mph at various times of the storms. Another term for CAT-5’s is “Wrath of God.”

When looking at CAT-5s’, no one is saying that there is no difference between a storm that brings 160-mile-per-hour winds and one that reaches 190. The force of the wind goes up with the square of the velocity.

In layman’s terms, that means a hurricane with 200-mileper-hour winds has four times — not just double — the force of one with 100-mile-per-hour winds.

The official hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30, but storms can form before and after.

We’ll write more about this in the weeks ahead.

BY DOMINICK FORTE

Anthony of Padua was born in 1195 and raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal. He died in Padua, Italy in 1231. He was celebrated by his peers for his powerful preaching, detailed knowledge of scripture, and boundless love and devotion to the poor and sick. He was one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history and was proclaimed Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII in 1946.

His noble family arranged for him to be instructed at the local cathedral school in Lisbon. He entered the Augustinian order at the Abbey of St. Vincent on the outskirts of Lisbon but asked to be transferred to the motherhouse of the Holy Cross in Coimbra, (at that time the capital of Portugal), where he studied Latin and theology.

After his ordination to the priesthood in 1214, he set out for Morrocco where he became seriously ill. He set sail back to Portugal in hope of regaining his health. On his return voyage the ship went off course and

wound up in Sicily. From Sicily he traveled to Tuscany but was finally assigned to the hermitage of San Paolo near Forli, Romagna where he had access to a cell one of the friars had made in a nearby cave. There he spent time in private prayer and study. Inspired by the work of the new Franciscan order, Anthony obtained permission to join them at a small heritage in Olivais.

In 1222 in the town of Forli a number of Dominican friars were present for the occasion of an ordination and a misunderstanding arose as to who should preach. The Franciscans expected that one of the Dominicans would occupy the pulpit. The Dominicans, however, thought a Franciscan would deliver the homily. Anthony was thought to be the most qualified homilist present and so was prevailed upon to preach “whatever the Holy Spirit might inspire.” His impromptu sermon moved the audience, impressing them with his rich voice, arresting eloquent

The traditional practice of praying to him for help in finding lost items is traced to an incident which occurred in Bologna. According to the story Anthony had a book of psalms very dear to him which was taken by a novice who had chosen to leave the order. Anthony prayed that his book would be found or returned, after which the thief returned it and decided to rejoin the order. Numerous miracles were attributed to him during his lifetime.

OBITUARY

A Man Dedicated to Duty

ByBarbaraGuarino Kruk

Mark and Pat Matthews have been part of the Mastic, Shirley, Mastic Beach, hamlet for as long as I can remember. I had the honor and pleasure to work side by side with them on many community projects. They loved this community and worked diligently to improve the quality of life for its residents, especially our children.

Pat Matthews wrote the following to commemorate her beloved husband, Mark, who died on April 25th 2023. Mark was a testament to the quality of people who live and work in our community. A devoted husband, father, and mentor to our youth. He was a man who fought for the freedom of others and was a decorated hero. He was a loving and devoted spouse to Pat and beloved father to their children.

This community is better for having had Mark Matthews guiding and supporting many of the quality-of-life issues we have faced over the years. As a Board of Education member, he channeled his wisdom,

compassion, and experience to enhance the education of our youth.

Family and friends were received at Roma Funeral Home in Shirley. A Mass was celebrated at St. Jude’s RC Church in Mastic Beach and Interment with military honors took place at Calverton National Cemetery.

I encourage all those who knew him to contribute to the William Floyd Scholarship Fund that his family is establishing. He gave so much time, energy, and love to foster education in our school. Please see details below.

On April 25th, Mark Matthews passed away. He was positive to the end. He never expressed a word of self-pity. Mark was a noble,

but humble man. In his over 40 years as a resident, Mark was a coach, scout master, Board of Education member and President of the Athletic Booster Club.

He retired after 33 years as a Colonel in the Army Engineer Corp. He served in Vietnam where he received the Bronze Star.

As a way of keeping his memory alive, his family is establishing a scholarship fund. Should anyone wish to donate, please write a check to the William Floyd Scholarship Fund, and write Col. Mark Matthews on the note line. Send your check to Pat Matthews, 285 Floyd Road, Shirley, NY 11967. If you have any questions, please call or text 631-2555839.

Permit(s) Applied for: 1-Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands

1- Article 11 Endangered/ Threatened Species (Incidental Take)

Project is located: in BROOKHAVEN in SUFFOLK COUNTY

Project Description:

The applicant proposes to construct a 96 unit apartment complex with associated parking, and a recreational facility on 13.35 acres. Approximately 6.21 acres of the site will be preserved as open space. This preserved area includes DEC regulated freshwater wetland #MD3 and habitat for New York State listed Endangered Species, the Eastern Tiger Salamander.

The proposed apartment complex will not be constructed within 100 feet of the regulated freshwater wetland, however construction is proposed within 1,000 feet of Eastern Tiger Salamander habitat.

The applicant proposes a take of the Eastern Tiger Salamander due to the adverse modification of approximately 1 acre of suitable upland habitat within 535 feet of the Tiger Salamander breeding pond. An additional 2.52 acres of suitable upland habitat will be removed within 1,000 feet of the breeding pond. This will result in the overall loss of less than 50% of the suitable upland habitat on site.

A Net Conservation Benefit will be achieved through deed restrictions on 6.21 acres of wetlands and salamander habitat on the site for preservation, and a 1.24 acre habitat restoration,

which includes the creation of 0.91 acres of suitable upland habitat within 300 feet of the breeding pond and a 0.33 acre restoration to improve habitat quality within the breeding pond. A fence will direct animals away from the roadways and toward the existing salamander tunnel. Pond restoration work must be completed between August 15 and November 15th to avoid disturbance to tiger salamanders.

The proposed project is located on the north side of Route 25 between Rocky Point Road and Middle Island Road in Middle Island, Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, SCTM# 200-378-1-12.4 & 13.

Nos. 821, 826 and 831 UNDER § 24 OF ARTICLE

2-B OF THE EXECUTIVE LAW

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 not-

for-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.

d. In particular, but not by way of limitation, each remedy and penalty specified in this section shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, the penalties specified in New York Executive Law Section 24, and 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 penalty specified in New York Executive Law Section 24.

G. Effective Date

This Executive Order shall take effect immediately.

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

This order shall cease to be in effect five (5) days after promulgation or upon declaration by the County Executive that the state of emergency no longer exists, whichever occurs sooner. The County Executive nevertheless, may extend such orders for additional periods not to exceed five (5) days each during the pendency of the local state of emergency.

UNDER § 24 OF ARTICLE

2-B OF THE EXECUTIVE LAW

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.

d. In particular, but not by way of limitation, each remedy and penalty specified in this section shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, the penalties specified in New York Executive Law Section 24, and 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 penalty specified in New York Executive Law Section 24.

G. Effective Date

This Executive Order shall take effect immediately.

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

This order shall cease to be in effect five (5) days after promulgation or upon declaration by the County Executive that the state of emergency no longer exists, whichever occurs sooner. The County Executive nevertheless, may extend such orders for additional periods not to exceed five (5) days each during the pendency of the local state of emergency.

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.

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.
