Legislature Hires Lawyer to Combat Migrant Issue

ByRaheemSotoandRobert Chartuk

Following a raucous public meeting Thursday with both sides of the illegal immigration debate heckling each other, Suffolk legislators voted to hire a special counsel as they explore legal options to block the possible relocation of migrants to the county. The move comes as Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Mayor Eric Adams scramble to find housing for up to 72,000 asylum seekers and others from over a hundred different countries who have been brought from the U.S. southern border to the “Sanctuary City.”

The measure, introduced by Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey and supported by 10 Republican legislators and one Democrat, passed 11-6. The special counsel will advise on potential litigation and assess whether Suffolk can seek reimbursement or damages from other municipalities that look to locate migrants in the county, according to McCaffrey, who did not identify the new counsel.

Legislators favoring the action argued that an influx of migrants would put an enormous strain on county services, schools and programs for the homeless and veterans that Suffolk taxpayers, among the highest taxed in the nation, couldn’t sustain. Opponents yelled “shame” at the bill’s supporters deeming them racist and accusing them of inflaming tensions among minority communities.

“I spoke to a representative of the governor's office who told me that New York City is calling every single hotel and motel in New York State to see if they had vacancies,” McCaffrey said at the meeting in Hauppauge, adding that Hochul confirmed in a conference call with county leaders that 72,000 migrants

have been transported to the city at the rate of about 300400 per day. Referencing New York’s self-adopted Sanctuary City status, border states such as Texas and Arizona have targeted the Big Apple for the relocation of migrants who county officials say are streaming across the southern border in record numbers thanks to the Biden administration’s open door policy.

As GOP legislators were organizing a Sunday press conference to announce their push for the special council, County Executive Steve Bellone, a Democrat, issued an emergency order prohibiting hotels, motels, and shelters from contracting with New York City or other entities to house the migrants. The order calls for county involvement in attempts to locate housing for illegal immigrants in any of Suffolk’s 10 towns. Bellone’s action, which set up a special task force to handle the situation, followed an emergency order by Riverhead Supervisor Yvette Aguiar prohibiting the use of town lodging establishments for migrants.

With an estimated 45,000 immigrants currently in city shelters, approximately 27,000 are unaccounted for, McCaffrey reported. “We don’t know where these people are, so people are waiting to see if they're coming to Suffolk County,” the presiding officer said. “I think there's a very good chance that they are already here living with friends and family.” McCaffrey pointed out that many are waiting for work authorization and are part of an “underground economy.”

The Republicans voting for the special council referenced the drain on social service resources, emergency services and schools caused by the new arrivals arguing that the county

taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay for a problem caused by policies at other levels of government.

“Immigration is a wonderful thing for the country; it's what built our country,” Legislator Nick Caracappa said before the vote. “I don't want immigrants coming over here to face the same issues they were facing where they came from such as hunger, homelessness, medical issues. We have that here now. If anyone's been in communities like mine and you see hundreds of people lined up for food, they’re starving, and those lines are going to increase tenfold because we don't have the resources to feed everybody.”

Speaking against the measure were members of the clergy and migrant support groups who invoked the memory of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who was murdered in Patchogue in 2008 by a white gang in charging that the legislators were fueling anti-immigrant hatred. They were backed up by opponents of the bill who clashed with supporters during a public portion of the meeting, which the legislators voted to extend so that the dozens who lined up to comment could be heard. The presiding officer had to struggle to maintain decorum at times and some protesters had to be removed by Suffolk Sheriffs.

In voting against the bill, Legislator Samuel Gonzales said, “I fear this is going to cause civil unrest. There is animosity in the people l see before me, a disgust against each other, hatred in their eyes. I’m so worried about what’s going to happen if this resolution passes.”

Seconding the motion to approve the legal counsel was Legislator Trish Bergin, who argued that the county could not afford a migrant influx. She said if the federal funds the county received during the COVID crisis were pulled back, as some in Congress are proposing, Suffolk would be “bankrupt” and its finances would sink to “junk bond” status.

“The Strain on our school systems is going to be extraordinary,” McCaffrey continued,” echoing a report that the Central Islip School District has seen an influx of up to 20 new enrollees per week. “How do you deal with that? How do you budget for that?” he asked. “It’s a burden that's going to be on our taxpayers, our emergency medical services, our police, our rescue companies.”

Suffolk joins other counties

across the state in weighing its options, with Niagara, Onondaga, Orange, and Rockland counties already securing court orders to stop the migrant flow.

Two legislators flipped sides on the vote with Republican Manuel Esteban saying no and Democrat Tom Donnelly a yes. An announcement from Suffolk GOP Chairman Jesse Garcia quickly followed the vote. “The Republican Majority in the Suffolk County Legislature once again demonstrated leadership by taking the first steps to push back on the failed immigration policies of the Biden Administration, Gov. Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams,” he said in a fundraising appeal to support the legislators. “The attempts of the Democrats to paint these actions as racist is insulting and inaccurate.”

Two Sides Tangle at Immigration Meeting

ByRaheemSotoandRobert Chartuk

Impassioned pleas, politics and stories of how families of immigrants came to settle in Suffolk were the order of the day as speakers bantered back and forth during last week’s special meeting of the county legislature called to consider outside legal counsel to advise on the growing migrant crisis.

The session was highlighted by exchanges between Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey and Manuel Esteban, a fellow Republican of Cuban and Colombian descent who broke ranks to vote against the special counsel bill. He accused his colleagues of playing politics with the plight of the thousands of immigrants who New York City Mayor Eric Adams is looking to relocate to Suffolk and other communities.

“This is an election year and we have a problem with partisanship, red side, blue side, and everyone is caught in the middle. Veterans, asylum seekers, are all in the same meat grinder. Is it worth it to play this game?” Esteban asked. “It is not. I won’t cave into political pressure. I have to go home and face my wife and children. I won’t sell them out,” the father of seven said, adding, “This resolution is bulls%&t,” the last comment drawing a rebuke from McCaffrey.

“All we're asking today is to hire counsel to look at what the options the legislature has and I've been called every name under the book for doing what the county executive put out in emergency order that said, ‘stop, you can't come in’ and they're building a statue for him and no one is speaking disrespectfully to

him calling him a segregationist as Legislator Esteban has suggested,” the presiding officer said.

Later, Esteban thanked McCaffrey for adding clauses he suggested to the bill which acknowledged America as a nation of immigrants and stated it was not his intention to offend anyone. “Racism is now very subtle,” he took the opportunity to say.

Legislator Jason Richburg told the story of a young woman who came with her family from England and lived in a cramped apartment for many years trying to live the American Dream. “She sounded different, she was not born here,” he related. “She was treated differently, she had to change the way she spoke; she was bullied and took a lot of hatred by her teachers and fellow students. She’s now a citizen, a wall street attorney who works with children to bridge the divide,” he continued. “That person is my wife,” Richberg said prior to casting a no vote on the special council resolution.

The resolution’s sponsor, Trish Bergin, told of her parents coming from Ireland, noting that she is the first generation of her family to be born here. “It took my parents three years to get here they had to go through criminal background checks to prove that they were not criminals,” she said. “They had to have physicals to make sure that they weren't sick and at the end of the day, my father came to America without my mother leaving her behind in a hospital because when she had her physical there was a shadow on her lung and they thought that she had tuberculosis; she had to sit in quarantine for six months. It was a long journey for them to get here

Rob Trotta and St. Joseph’s Church Host a Blood Drive on June 27 at Travis Hall in Kings Park

One Donation Can Save Three Lives

Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta in conjunction with St. Joseph’s Church in Kings Park is hosting a blood drive on Tuesday, June 27, from 1:00pm until 7:00pm. It is at Travis Hall – Lower Level, behind St. Joseph’s at 59 Church Street. The drive is to benefit the blood banks maintained by Long Island Blood Services, which provides blood to hospitals throughout Long Island.

To be eligible to donate blood, a person must be between the ages of 16 (16 with parental consent) and 76, (if older than 76, you need written permission from your doctor), weigh over 110 pounds and not have had a tattoo in the last three months. Please bring a

valid photo ID with you. LI Blood Services recommends that you eat and drink plenty of fluids before donating. Previous donors should bring their blood donor card with them.

As a thank you for donating a pint of blood, each donor will receive a free Mets T-shirt. In addition, all donors will have a chance to win a pair of Mets tickets.

“Hospitals are always in need of blood supplies so it is important that if you can donate blood to do so because one pint of blood can help save three lives. We do a blood drive every year so I thank those who have attended in the past and hope you will consider donating again,” said Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta. For more information, please call Legislator Trotta’s district office at 631-854-3900.

and we all have stories similar to this,” she continued. “My job here is to protect the hard-working taxpayers of Suffolk County and their families and I intend to do so.”

Al Mangiacapri told the story of his grandfather who came through Ellis Island from Italy a hundred years ago. “He was taken and examined for disease; he had to prove that he had a place to go, that he wouldn’t be a burden,” the Ronkonkoma resident said, explaining that a religious-based group took him in and helped him assimilate. “He went on to become a minister in Manhattan, a citizen. It was all done in an orderly fashion. He was not shipped to the streets to fend for himself. We need to help people become citizens, but this is just not the way to do it. This is a mess.”

“We have homeless people living on the street, veterans, children living in cars. Don’t the American people come first?” asked Nesconset

Commack

resident Marie Gruick, who told the legislators she’s been placed on the government’s Domestic Terror Watch List for speaking out on the issue. “When the money runs out, where are you going to put them?

In six months, you’re going to see a big disaster,” she said as whispers of “racist” went through the crowd.

“So many of the asylum seekers are children and families. Think of your children and what you would do to protect them,” Dr. Eve MeltzerKrief, a Centerport pediatrician, said. “These are children who simply want to survive. We should evaluate what we can realistically provide. Instead of shutting our doors, we should be opening our hearts.”

Also speaking at the special meeting was Marine veteran Fred Miller of Shirley who said he is struggling after eight years of service, including combat tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom. “I received no benefits when l got home. I was shot three times and

Kickline Team

gave my all and got nothing. It’s a shame men like me have to discuss this. I was living under a bridge and had to hide my food so raccoons wouldn’t get it,” said the father of three. I don’t know what else l need to do to get help.”

“We should care for strangers, especially those who seek our help. The state, the county must find ways to help,” said former Suffolk Police officer and Army veteran Bill Kiley of Northport, who called attacks on immigrants “Political Whack-a-Mole.” He charged that unscrupulous business owners are taking advantage of employees who are forced to work off the books because of their legal status.

“You’re putting non-citizens first without them having earned it,” Terri Garafolo of Coram countered. “The country is being invaded, and Joe Biden is encouraging them to come here under conditions no human should have to endure. Don’t put a guilt trip on me. If you want to put an immigrant in your home, go ahead, but don’t ask me to pay for it.”

“I’ve worked with asylum seekers, have been to the border,” said Lisa Vertino of Coram. “The notion that we don’t know who they are is bogus. Most of them have sponsors, non-profits take care of them.”

Others railed at Biden’s open border policy saying it creates a pathway for illegal drugs entering the country. “I lost two sons to the Fentanyl that’s pouring over the border,” said Margaret Kochman of Port Jefferson. “The drugs come from China to Mexico and then into the United States. They’re letting these people do whatever they want. Close the border,” she demanded to applause from the bill’s supporters.

The Commack Kickline Cougarettes won the varsity kickline title and the Sportsmanship Award at the 2023 National Dance Alliance Competition in Orlando, Florida. This was their second consecutive kickline title at this competition.

Legislators Trotta, Kennedy and Esteban, who represent the Commack area, invited the team, their coaches and School Superintendent Jordan Cox to attend the May 23 General Meeting of the Legislature to recognize the team and coaches for their achievement. “As a graduate of Commack High School North, I am so impressed by these student athletes and congratulate them and their coaches for their

COUNTY Police Name New Marine Vessel After Departed Sergeant

ByRobertChartuk

With family, friends and fellow officers all around champagne was smashed against the bow of a new police boat in memory of Suffolk Marine Bureau Officer Sgt. David Cherkes. The new vessel, a 38-foot Safe Boat, will patrol the waters he helped keep safe before losing a courageous battle to Pancreatic cancer at age 52.

County Police Commissioner Rodney K. Harrison was on hand to launch the new boat in memory of Cherkes who began his law enforcement career as a New York City police officer in 1989, joining the SCPD two years later. Among his assignments, he worked in the Marine Bureau and then later returned to that command as a sergeant in 2004 where he stayed until his retirement in 2020. Cherkes battled cancer during the last year and a half of his career, but continued working while

undergoing chemotherapy, surgery and radiation.

During his service, Cherkes was awarded the Meritorious Police Service Award after he helped pull a crash victim from a car that had struck a utility pole and burst into flames. He also earned four

department recognitions, two command recognitions and was named officer of the month on two occasions, according to the department. He’s a graduate of Deer Park High School and attended Suffolk Community College and SUNY Farmingdale

before becoming an officer.

Suffolk Police marine units patrol 500 square miles of navigable waterways from the Connecticut state line which bisects the Long Island Sound, to the New York state line three miles south of Fire Island in the North Atlantic Ocean. Land areas covered include Fire Island and Jones Island barrier beaches and the islands of the Great South Bay. Marine units also respond to water and ice rescues on the inland lakes, ponds and streams of the District.

The Marine Bureau is staffed by 83 sworn officers and civilian personnel, augmented each summer by the addition of eight officers on seasonal assignment. Approximately 50 officers are Coast Guard licensed Masters (captains) and about 70% are Emergency Medical Technicians - Defibrillator (EMT-D). Barrier beach units, boats and the SCUBA team are available 24 hours a day.

Culinary Crime: Pair Apprehended for Stealing Cooking Oil from Suffolk County Restaurants

ByRaheemSoto

Two men were arrested in Suffolk County for stealing cooking oil from multiple restaurants in the Fifth Precinct. However, a correction has been issued regarding the charges initially reported for one of the suspects.

According to the corrected press release, Andrew DeMarco, one of the arrested individuals, was charged with two counts of Petit Larceny and one count of Criminal Mischief 3rd Degree. The charges for DeMarco were originally incorrect in the initial release.

Gregory Smith and Andrew DeMarco allegedly engaged in a series of thefts, stealing cooking oil from three restaurants on five separate occasions between May 22 and June 5. Smith was accused of driving a rented box truck and transferring the stolen oil into a 500-gallon container, while DeMarco acted as a lookout using a 2023 Honda Accord.

After an investigation by officers from the Fifth Precinct Crime Section, Smith and DeMarco were apprehended in Patchogue at approximately 1:45 a.m. The thefts occurred at Island Empanada in Medford

on May 22 and May 31, Dirty Taco in Patchogue on May 31 and June 5, and Harbor Crab in Patchogue on June 5.

Smith, 39, residing at 44 Dogwood Ave., Farmingville, was charged with Criminal Mischief 3rd Degree and

five counts of Petit Larceny. DeMarco, 38, also residing at 44 Dogwood Ave., Farmingville, was charged with five counts of Petit Larceny. Both individuals are scheduled to appear for arraignment at First District Court in Central Islip on a later

date.

The investigation into the thefts is ongoing. Authorities are urging anyone who may have been a victim of a similar crime to contact the police at 631-852-COPS to file a report.

Scalafani Apprehended in Florida, Accused in Death of Mastic Man

ByRobertChartuk

On the lam since May 20 after his alleged shooting of a father of four, Joseph Scalafani was taken into custody in Florida on Sunday. He was wanted in the shooting death of Alex Smith on Neighborhood Road in Mastic Beach.

According to Suffolk Police, Scalafani, 32, of Mastic Beach was apprehended by Pinellas County Sheriffs after he was seen boarding a bus near St. Pete Beach. The department had put out a nationwide bulletin for his arrest. He is expected to return to New York after an extradition process.

Smith, 30, of Mastic, worked in his family’s tree business and had children ages nine months to nine years old. The younger

brother of former WBO champ, Joseph Smith Jr., he was dating Scalafani’s ex girlfriend, with whom the suspect had two children, according to Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison. "It looks like this might have been a crime of hate and jealousy because it seems like it was old baby father shooting new boyfriend in a really disturbing, concerning crime," Harrison said in a media interview.

Scalafani was considered by police to be armed and dangerous.

“It does not fill the void in our hearts as we miss him every minute of the day, but it does give us some peace knowing he can not do this to another family,” the Smith family said

Kaeli Kramer Foundation to Host Humane Education Program

ByBarbaraLaMonica

Children ages nine to fourteen will have a unique, hands on opportunity to interact with, and learn more about the humane treatment of animals. The Kaeli Kramer Foundation will host its inaugural event at Double D Ranch, located at 344 Wading River Road in Manorville.

Peter and Linda Kramer, founders of the Kaeli Kramer Foundation, which is named in the memory of their daughter, memorialize Kaeli who was a "compassionate equestrian and aspiring veterinarian." The Kramers say their daughter's Foundation, "is a living tribute to the goodness within her, and within each of us." Since their daughter's passing 14 years ago on May 26th, Peter and Linda have continued to highlight a message Kaeli delivered during her 2008 Valedictory Speech when she said to her audience: "As knowledge, responsibility, and courage light our way, so does kindness. Everyone, somehow, in some way, affects one another."

So, from July 17th through July 21st, children will be offered a week-long enriching experience at Double D Ranch to see, learn about, and in some instances interact with horses, goats, llamas, sheep, birds of prey, reptiles, pigs, cows, and more. Participants will

learn about natural horsemanship, animal communications, and the kind and compassionate treatment of farm and companion animals. A veterinarian and SPCA Officer will be on site to talk about animals and to answer questions of children's inquiring minds.

Anyone who participates must pre-register for a $100 fee to reserve your place in the program. Due to the hands on and engaging nature of the comprehensive five-day educational event, Linda said registration is limited, and she encourages anyone who is interested in attending to preregister early. "Pre-registration is necessary and limited (first come, first served), because we do everything hands on," Linda

explained. She emphasized that the week long event is "not a petting zoo," but is educationbased and geared towards "how to care for animals."

The Kaeli Kramer Education Foundation Center for Humane Treatment of Animals is based at the Holtsville Ecology Center in the Town of Brookhaven. It is where two resident Mustang rescues, Callie and Valor, call their home. Speaking candidly and openly about Kaeli's memory, Linda shared during an interview last week, "We really feel Kaeli's presence and connected to her as we carry on the things she wanted to do; the Foundation, " Linda continued, "is a continuation of her aspirations."

To register online visit https:// humaneeducationprogram. com or log on to Kaelikramerfoundation1@gmail. com. Mailed registrations should be returned to: Kaeli Kramer

Foundation 309 Trotting Lane, Westbury, 11590. Donations, which are committed to resources to improving the lives of animals, may also be made online.

Terryville Volunteers Respond to Alarm Records Supercenter in Store for Brookhaven

ByRobertChartuk

The security of Brookhaven’s vital documents, and those of surrounding municipalities, will be assured for years to come as the town nearly doubles the size of its Record Center in Bellport thanks to a $20 million efficiency grant and funds under the American Rescue Plan.

ByChaseMillwater

On Friday June 2nd, 2023 at approximately 10:24p.m. the Terryville Fire Department responded to reports of an apartment fire at 41 Piedmont Drive, in Port Jefferson Station. Arriving units were met with a well involved apartment building with fire through the roof. Mutual aid departments were

then started out to the scene.

The fire was brought under control in an about 1.5 hours.

The cause of the fire was under investigation by the Suffolk County Police Arson Squad and the Brookhaven Town Fire Marshal’s Office.

There were a total of 4 apartments involved. There were no reported injuries.

“The goal of this project is not only to create a modern storage facility to house town records, but also create a Regional Record Center where we will work with other local municipalities, including villages, libraries, fire districts, to store and scan their records,” explained Town Clerk Kevin LaValle at a special announcement ceremony last week in the cavernous facility.

“This will help to reduce costs associated with the maintenance records and provide easy access and retrieval.”

Expansion of the existing facility will include upgraded security, electrical, plumbing, fire suppression, climate and

The eight-month long construction process will be broken down into four phases allowing the facility to remain an active Record Center, the clerk said, noting that funding

for the purchase and renovation of the facility has come from a Municipal Consolidation and Efficiency Program grant the town won in 2019, along with money from the 2021 Rescue Plan Act.

“Keeping vital records safe and secure is a key function of a modern municipality,” said Supervisor Edward Romaine, who attended the ceremony along with other town officials and representatives

St. John’s Marks 125-Year Milestone in Center Moriches

ByRobertChartuk

A beacon of light and resilience in the Center Moriches community for 125 years, the Parish of St. John the Evangelist is celebrating its quasquicentennial this year with a special mass June 17th at 5 p.m.

“What an incredible milestone to celebrate,” said the church’s Pastor, Reverend Patrick M. Riegger, who shared some of the esteemed institution’s long history. “The roots of our parish go back to the mid1870's, according to the records of the Dioceses of Brooklyn, which at the time included Long Island,” the Pastor noted. Its first Mass was celebrated in 1898.

“Since that time our parish has

experienced tremendous growth both spiritually and socially and whose faith has served to grow our parish community,” he continued. “Together we have made St. John's a strong and loving place to worship as well as a beacon of light and resilience in the Center Moriches community.”

Inspired by its patron, St. John the Evangelist, one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus, the Roman Catholic Church seeks to “bring the light of Christ to a world in need, so that as Christ has done, we may also do,” it says in its mission statement. “From the celebration of the Eucharist, we are sent forth to serve God and neighbors through ministries of formation, education and outreach.”

Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine, a congregant since moving to the area 44 years ago, said the parish is like an extended family. “You go to the services and you know everybody,” he said. “It’s wonderful to be part of it; you really have a sense of belonging to something special.”

Reverend Riegger likened the beginnings of the church to a mustard seed, starting out very small and growing to the vibrant parish it is today. “We’re celebrating 125 years of parish ministry and parish life, six generations of the faithful who have built this church to what it is today, a faith-filled community here in small town America.”

A future bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, Robert Eric Guglielmone, began his early education at Saint John’s after he moved with his family from New York to Mastic Beach in 1949. He went to first grade at the elementary school where many local children attended before heading off to the Catholic Mercy High school in Riverhead. As part of the 125th Anniversary, the church has invited back some of its former priests to conduct various masses.

Now holding services in a spacious, cathedral-like setting, the parish endured some controversy when the Diocese decided to replace the church that had served the

community for more than a century with a larger facility. In building the new church, leaders kept the stunning stained-glass panels of the historic church, along with its altar, which had come from St. Augustine’s in Brooklyn. The new church, opening its doors in 1999, also retained a beloved chapel, Baptismal fonts and stations of the cross, a priority of those who wanted to keep the old church in remembrance. Another challenge was faced when the church suffered significant damage in 2017 by a man who committed suicide after setting a fire in the building.

“As we reflect on our past with gratitude, our present with appreciation and to the future we look with great hope, we

ask for your continued support during this period of celebration,” Reverend Riegger said in a message to the community. The Pastor is celebrating an anniversary himself, one year since he came over from Infant Jesus in Port Jefferson where he served for 12 years. “The anniversary has personally helped me come to know the parish during the year, writing bulletins about it, getting to know the history,” he said. “It was a nice way to begin my term.”

To recognize its amazing milestone, St. John's is producing a commemorative journal to serve as a keepsake. For more information, call or email St. John's at History@ sjem.org.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP Legislature Passes Measure on Blocking Migrants

The Suffolk County Legislature at a special meeting last week passed a measure authorizing the county to hire an attorney to explore what can be done to block migrants bussed to New York City, mainly from Texas and predominantly Latino, from being placed in Suffolk.

The vote Thursday was 11 to 6.

“Every day we receive hundreds of additional asylum seekers and we are out of space,” the city said in a statement last month. “New York City has done and will continue to do its part, but we need counties, cities, and towns across the state to do their part as well, especially when New York City is willing to pay for shelter, food, and more,” it said. “In most cases, we’re not even asking localities to help manage a quarter of one percent of the asylum seekers that have arrived in New York City.”

There are communities in the state accepting migrants from New York City. More, however, are not.

“Which counties are closing their doors to asylum seekers?” was the headline last month on the website City & State NY. The subhead: “More than 30 counties around the state have taken steps to block New York City from sending migrants to local hotels and shelters.”

In Suffolk last month, the Town of Riverhead declared a state of

emergency ordering that “all hotels, motels, bed and breakfast facilities, inns, cottages, campgrounds or any other transient lodging units and/ or facilities allowing short term rentals do not accept said migrants and/or asylum seekers for housing.”

As Newsday reported, “Riverhead Supervisor Yvette Agular contends an ‘influx’ of asylum-seekers would overwhelm schools and stretch town resources.”

The difference between Suffolk and other areas in the state that are not accepting migrants from the city is that Suffolk has a very long antiimmigrant history—and in recent decades antagonism toward Latinos.

Professor Christopher Verga who teaches Long Island history at Suffolk County Community College comments the situation today “is reminiscent of a not too-distance past” also involving “thousands of people escaping government instability, crippling poverty and pleading for asylum.” He speaks of “one historical group of migrants” blamed for, among other things, “taking jobs from U.S.-born locals,” and of “conspiracy theories that this migration influx was a plot to overthrow, to colonize the U.S.”

In the 1920s, “Hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan enrolled membership of one out of seven

Long Islanders,” said Verga. In addition to the KKK’s virulent racism, “the biggest issue on Long Island was immigration.” A major foe of the KKK here was the Catholic Church, and he notes an anti-KKK demonstration a century ago, in 1923 in Bay Shore, organized by the Holy Name Society of the Catholic Church bringing together 40,000 people.

“Who,” asks Verga, “was this despised group of migrants? Answer: the Italians, and one of those many feared migrants was my greatgrandfather Frank Verga.”

“Italian heritage takes pride in family history, but these humbling experiences always seem omitted

or left out of day-to-day discourse,” says Verga. “The same biases and anti-immigration sentiment of a century ago are playing out again for this next generation of migrants. Knowing your history is having a sense of awareness and empathy for others with similar historical and contemporary struggles. Building on this forgotten past should develop solidarity among Italians with the busloads of new asylum seekers.”

Indeed, except for its original Native American inhabitants, this is a country based on immigrants. All should feel empathy.

When Latinos came in any numbers to Suffolk in the 1980s, there

was controversy over the demands by members of the Suffolk Legislature that all county publications be in “English language only.” In the 1990s, migrants from Mexico came to Farmingville for work in the landscaping, construction and restaurant industries and faced great hostility. A nationally-aired documentary, titled “Farmingville,” was made about the conflict. A Suffolk legislator, the late Michael D’Andre, said at a legislative hearing that if his town of Smithtown was similarly “attacked” by Latino laborers “we’d be out with baseball bats.”

In 2008 Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero was attacked in Patchogue by seven teens led by a 19-year-old sporting a Swastika tattoo who stabbed him to death. The group, it was revealed, had for some time, as The New York Times reported, prowled the streets of Suffolk “engaged in a regular and violent pastime hunting for Hispanics to attack.”

In 2015 a lawsuit was brought by the organization LatinoJustice accusing the Suffolk County Police Department of widespread discrimination against Latinos. It included shakedowns of Latino motorists by a Suffolk Police sergeant, later jailed for it. The suit was settled and a variety of reforms instituted.

How to Avoid Probate

My neighbor told me that the process of probate can be lengthy and that I should avoid it for the sake of my beneficiaries. How can I do this?

Probate is the legal procedure by which your assets pass upon your death. When a person dies with a Will, the nominated executor must file a probate petition with the Surrogate’s Court. This is necessary to be officially appointed by the Court so that the executor can distribute the property left by the decedent. First, the executor files the original Will, a certified copy of the death certificate, and the probate petition in Surrogate’s Court. Then, notice needs to be given to the decedent’s next-of-kin who would have inherited had their not been a will. The next of kin will either sign waivers and consents or issued a citation to appear in court to have the opportunity to object to the Will. Often a family tree affidavit needs to be filed by an independent person who knows the family history. After jurisdiction is complete and any issues with the Will addressed, the Surrogate’s Court will issue a decree granting

A:

probate. The judge issues Letters Testamentary giving the executor authority to act.

When a person dies without a Will (intestate), it is necessary to file an Administration Petition with the Surrogate’s Court. Here, a close relative of the decedent applies to become the decedent’s Administrator. The assets pass to blood relatives according to statute. The Court will then issue Letters of Administration appointing them Administrator. As with a probate proceeding, all interested parties must be given notice and either sign a waiver or served with a citation issued by the court. Sometimes a kinship hearing is necessary to prove relation to the decedent.

As you can imagine, the probate process can be costly and time consuming in even the simplest cases. Probate proceedings can drag on for years when distant relatives cannot be located or a relative decides to contest the Will. The good news is that probate

can be avoided through the use of beneficiary designations and trusts.

Assets held jointly with rights of survivorship pass automatically to the surviving owner upon death. Likewise, assets with designated beneficiaries pass to the designated beneficiaries, avoiding probate. Examples of jointly held assets include joint bank accounts and real property owned by spouses. Common assets with designated

beneficiaries include retirement accounts and life insurance. If you have not named a beneficiary on an account that allows it, these assets must go through probate. Of course, not every type of asset allows a beneficiary designation.

Another way to avoid probate is by creating a living trust. A living trust can hold assets such as bank accounts, real estate, businesses and personal belongings. Any assets

owned by a revocable or irrevocable trust will simply pass according to the terms of the trust, free from court interference. A trust also allows a trustee to control assets if one becomes incapacitated. There are many different types of living trusts. A revocable living trust is primarily to avoid probate. You, as the grantor, would be both the trustee and beneficiary during your lifetime. You would add a successor trustee to take over if you became incapacitated and upon your death. This successor trustee can seamlessly take over management of the trust property and no court proceedings are necessary.

Doug Antaky Grabs School Record and State Standard at State Quals

ByNickCipolla Smithtown High Schools

(both East and West) have a deep history of successful distance runners. Brendan Martin, Kevin Cawley, Michael Danzi, and even yours truly had performed when the lights were brightest and the meets got more and more competitive.

This Thursday, Junior Doug Antaky was able to etch his name into the history books forever as he had the race of his life, running 9:13 for the 3200m run while placing second and barely dipping under the New York State Super Standard, allowing him to qualify for the state championship meet next weekend.

Up until this point, Antaky was having a story book junior campaign that some kids would hope to have as seniors. He was All-State in Cross Country and has been one of Long Island’s best distance runners this school year.

“Going to the State Qual meet this season was awesome”, said Antaky, “I was looking forward to doing what I was capable of at State Quals and seeing how far I could go with my Outdoor season.” Antaky has faced some stiff competition from Bay Shore's Jake Gogarty all year and he knew he had to make a move early on if he wanted to give himself a chance. He knew he had to at worst hit the state super standard of 9:14.6 for 3200m in

order to make it out of Suffolk county and onto the state meet.

“My meet preparation was so much more mental than ever before,” said Antaky, “less mileage and more thought about how I was going to go into this race and the attitude I was going to have. I knew that I would have to have a strong and tough mentality to push through for that top 2 position and if possible that Super Standard of 9:14.6 so I gave it everything I had to make it!”

“I decided to just take the race after about 5 laps,” said Antaky, “I definitely knew that making States was going to be a challenge and I also remember indoor how it felt losing and not (setting a new) pr, so I took that outdoor and went to just make it. I was very on edge about how the race was going to go whether I'd make it or not, but with all the training and hard work I did I was able to qualify.”

Along with good training and gutsy efforts, Antaky seemed to have the gut feeling that he would make it to the state championship meet. “I knew I was having a great day and that I could make it to the States, so I took off and I pushed myself to that finish line and it felt so rewarding to finish the race and know that I made States.”

Antaky’s gut decision paid off for him as he was able to place second in the race and set a new personal record and hit the state super standard, guaranteeing himself a

spot on the line next weekend at the state championships.

While he was in the process of chasing the state standard, Antaky was getting closer and closer to setting a new school record that has stood since 2017.

“Running a 9:13 was a task I was looking forward to running all season,” said Antaky, “being able to actually accomplish my goals was a dream come true. I knew that it was possible and I knew that I could do this so I took it out and about 5 laps in (I started to) cook up a storm (on the track) and took the lead and ran the second mile in 4:32.” That 4:32 last mile allowed Antaky to

dip under the school record and qualify for states.

“Getting the 3200 record was something my coach wanted to see me get all year long,” said Antaky, “He knew I was capable of it and wanted me to get it. At first I thought I missed the record by .03 but instead I actually beat it by .03 which was an amazing surprise!”

Antaky now has the advantage of racing against a stacked field and a full year of competition in the 2023-24 track seasons to lower his new record. “Knowing that I am capable of more, maybe that I can break 9, maybe it's

possible now that I think I can break 9:10. It's possible but we will see.”

Antaky will compete for the state title in Middletown, New York on June 9th as he attempts to become Smithtown’s first state champion since Michael Danzi won the 1000m race at the 2020 indoor championships before the COVID-19 Shutdown. “I am just really excited to go to States and Nationals,” added Antaky. “I can't wait for this upcoming summer training to start and hopefully we can have one last amazing Cross Country season with my awesome team!”

Pat Med’s Knoth Lands in the First Round in Latest ESPN Mock Draft

ByNickCipolla

Patchogue Medford has gained a reputation for breeding MLB talent. Stars like Chicago

Cubs Starting Pitcher Marcus Stroman and more recently

Tampa Bay Rays Minor Leaguer Matt Vogel seem to come to mind when you mention the notable alumni. However, the next big thing out of Pat-Med might be the most hyped-up prospect that they have ever had.

Senior Pitcher Josh Knoth is the definition of a high school phenom. He has thrown multiple perfect in the last two seasons including a perfect game where he struck out 20 batters in a seven inning game during his Junior Season.

Knoth’s dominant junior year saw him break the single season strikeout record at Pat Med with 107 as a junior while posting an unbelievable strikeout to walk rate of 107/6. What was even

more impressive was that he only allowed 13 hits all year and he finished with a 0.86 ERA during the regular season.

Knoth, 17, also was named a

Perfect Game All-American last year and has an elite pitch mix that includes a 96+mph fastball and a devastating breaking ball that some scouts are calling “The best (breaking ball) in the draft

class with a lot of swing and miss potential.”

During the 2023 season, he was named a top 150 draft prospect and was projected to be a top 5 round pick according to MLB Pipeline. However, his senior season has been even more dominant than his junior campaign and his draft stock has skyrocketed in recent weeks.

A player many scouts have recently projected to be an early to mid second round pick may have just seen his stock skyrocket after the latest ESPN Mock Draft. Knoth is projected to come off the board at 30th overall to the Seattle Mariners during the competitive balance round of the MLB Draft. If he lands in the first round as projected, he will be the second Pat Med baseball player to ever get drafted in the first round and he will be the first Long Island baseball player to be drafted in

the first round straight out of High School.

Knoth is committed to Ole Miss located in Oxford, Mississippi as of last September after he decommitted from College of Charleston in hopes of catching on with a Power 5 Conference. Every game he has pitched in 2023 has gotten the attention of every MLB team as scouts from all 30 were in attendance for his starts.

Knoth will end his career at Patchogue Medford holding the career and single season records in Strikeouts, ERA, WHIP. He now looks to add “First Long Island High School Player from Long Island to be Drafted in the First Round” before he graduates at the end of June.

We reached out to Knoth for any additional comments but were unable to get an answer from him or his camp before we reached a deadline.

We are a little less than 2 months away from the Major League Baseball trade deadline, but chatter about who will wind up where has already begun. In recent years we have seen trades happen earlier than expected with organizations making quick decisions, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that this year we might have a big name be on the move in June.

Shane Bieber seems to be the name on everyone's lips and for good reason. Bieber is the type of starter that is coveted by every team. He is generally durable, has had immense success in his career, is still only 28 years old and is on a team that is 6 games under .500. The worry with Bieber getting a Castillo-like return would be that his velocity has dipped in recent seasons. While Bieber may be the crown jewel for

ANGLE

franchises needing an impact arm this summer, there is more than just one name out there.

Lucas Giolito, Lance Lynn, Eduardo Rodriguez, even Marcus Stroman's names have been thrown around as possible trade chips. But, the name that seems to be forgotten by many and would be an ideal fit for both the mets and Yankees would be Mitch Keller.

Keller hasn't had the type of career that Bieber has, but he might have a higher ceiling. Like Bieber, Keller is just entering his prime at 27 years old. He is in his first arbitration season, and while his team is still in the hunt, there are few that think the Pirates are serious contenders. Keller also has been simply Cy Young worthy this year. He is 7-1 with just over a 3 ERA on the season. That is also with eye popping

Talking Trade Deadlines

strikeout numbers. Keller's strikeout numbers have been set by the sports books at 6 or 6 1/2 for over a month now. He has made believers money each

time by striking out 8 or more batters in 7 straight starts.

Keller may not be the Castillo or Bieber-like name that Amazin fans or Yanks fans

want this summer, but there is an argument to be made that he is the smarter addition. He should cost slightly less and his dominance can't be overlooked.

Can I Get a Refund on Trea Turner?

It is a very true statement that you will have your best seasons when your best players are having their best seasons. And this is true regardless of format. When a Trea Turner lays a stinker you feel it in dynasty just as badly as you feel it in season long. The strategy that you deploy to alleviate the situation is very different under the format that you play in, but there are similarities. It also depends on the strategic plan that you deployed at either your draft or dynasty keeper list. And lastly, did you have a Plan B in mind before the season started. Let’s take a closer look.

Trea Turner is a lifetime .298 hitter that is hitting .236 in the current season at roughly the 1/3 mark. Using a very rough 3 times calculation, Trea Turner is on pace for 15 home runs and 24 stolen bases but only 45 RBI’s. He is however, on pace for roughly 90 runs scored. Of course, the problem is that Trea Turner was selected in the first round of the draft for so many owners this year. And in 2022, Trea Turner hit 21 home runs with 100 RBI’s and 27 stolen bases. He also scored 101 runs in 2022. Therein lies part of the problem in assessing Trea Turner’s true worth. The most immediate season in the

rear view mirror is a .300-21-100100-27 season. It is his all-time high level mark. And if you listened to enough mock drafts this winter and early spring, there was a tap on the brakes being deployed.

If you had Trea Turner in a dynasty league, you were well aware that he would turn 30 years old during the current season on June 30th. In his age 22 and 23 seasons, Trea had eclipsed 40 stolen bases in consecutive seasons. At this

point, Trea’s speed has settled into a comfortable total in the 20’s. Heck, even with his batting average down to .236 but stolen base attempts way up, his 24 projected stolen bases seems right in line. I own Trea Turner in one of my dynasty leagues, and my roster has Anthony Volpe, C.J. Abrams and Ezequiel Tovar waiting in the wings. Planned obsolescence is a fact of life in dynasty leagues. But I mentioned mock drafts this winter and spring,

and you saw a cautionary tale from where Turner was being taken.

Aaron Judge, Ronald Acuna Jr., Julio Rodriguez and Juan Soto were on the wish list of many owners to get taken #1 overall. But Trea Turner was not. In terms of positional scarcity, Shortstop was being assessed as a relatively deeper position. Third base was being viewed as a barren wasteland. And if you didn’t get either Jose Ramirez or Manny Machado you were going to have to suffer through with a very sub standard 3B in 2023. There was not a lot of perceived urgency to draft Trea Turner this spring in the 1st round. Some owners would select him if he dropped to 6th overall or lower. But it seemed like a consolation prize not a well thought out draft strategy. Talk to those owners now. Dissatisfaction with having drafted Turner is a frequently heard complaint.

Chuck, what do we do? The first thing to remember is that teams will win their leagues this year with Trea Turner as their starting SS. And in dynasty and non-dynasty formats to boot. Those owners in dynasty who have hedged their bets by investing in Elly de La Cruz, Anthony Volpe, Abrams and

others are ahead of the game. But in a non-dynasty league what would be a smart replacement for Turner mid-season? As Anthony Volpe has slipped back below hitting .200 that is a high-risk, high reward move. Brice Turang has 7 stolen bases and while batting lower than Turner he comes considerably cheaper. So does Zach Neto. Ezequiel Tovar is hitting .244 the highest point his batting average has been at all year and he is at 3 home runs and 2 stolen bases. And Coors Field puts a considerable floor underneath anybody’s numbers. ESPN ownership of Javier Baez is down to 15.6%, a multi-year low.

The move you don’t want to make is to panic right now. 15 home runs and 24 stolen bases out of your starting SS is not a death sentence. If you had drafted Anthony Volpe in the 9th round and you were told on Draft Day that Volpe would produce 15 home runs and steal 24 bases you would gladly take it. So what has changed? That is right. Nothing. You win your league through patience and being a steady hand. That hasn’t changed. I still say Trea Turner is going to have a strong 2nd half. Do you believe me? I’ll never tell.

Bringing it Home Safely – National Safe Boating Week 2023

Bringing It Home - Safely

National Safe Boating Week, May 20-26, 2023, was in full swing!

US Coast Guard Forces nationwide and especially here “Out East” have a lot of plans to take and make safety a daily, year-long event. This column is about that.

National Safe Boating Week – Why?

By 1958, boating “by the millions” rather than “by millionaires” was in full swing. What Coast Guard statistics showed was that the democratization of boating was coming at a cost – and it wasn’t the 29-cents per gallon for gasoline. It was accidents and fatalities. The US Congress passed the Federal Boating Act and the National Safe Boating Week was born upon President Eisenhower’s signature. It was initially run as a committee –US Coast Guard as chairman, with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Power Squadron, and the Red Cross as its informal members. It still took some time for the focused attention of the Coast Guard on boater safety to work its way through long habits and aged traditions. It wasn’t until 1973, when 1,754 people died in boating accidents, that the trend started to reverse. Why? Why else – money, people, and untiring

Safety First – The Big Picture

Safety isn’t something you put on like an over-coat. Safety, to be truly effective, needs to be part of your daily habits and part of that is education – day-in, day-out. US Coast Guard Auxiliary Division-18 is all about that. Division 18 is comprised of 4 flotillas, and it is at the flotilla level where the work gets done. Division-18 supports three Coast Guard stations “Out East” – SFO Moriches, Station Shinnecock and Station Montauk.

“Boat Smart. Boat Safe. Wear it” – Get In the Picture!

In 2023, the Wear It! campaign will continue, reminding boaters from coast to coast to put on their life jacket when on the water. The campaign is sponsored by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the National Safe Boating Council and many other boating organizations. Please note that the National Safe Boating Council will offer its free material on its https://safeboatingcampaign. com/ website. There is nothing stopping marina owners, dive shop proprietors, camp counselors and concerned parents from getting and using those materials!

The simple use of life jackets when engaging in any boating or paddle boat activity saves lives. Obeying and knowing the Navigation Rules or the nautical “Rules of the Road” through safe boating classes and not drinking alcohol or taking drugs while operating a boat, will save the lives of the boaters and those sharing the water with you. Wearing a life jacket can reduce the number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year by approximately 80%! It is a simple task that has the potential to reduce terrible loss in lives. The goal of National Safe Boating Week is to

emphasize the year-round effort to promote safe boating. All who enjoy the waters of our beautiful state are urged to practice safe boating habits. Remember: “Boat Smart. Boat Safe. Wear it.”

Kayak Races and TrawlerFests

At $5/gallon for fuel, we can expect the explosion in the use of paddle sports to continue and the Coast Guard’s Operation Paddle Smart is key to curtailing the injuries and even deaths that these pastimes are piling up statistically.

Life Jacket Statistics

World War II brought us the inflatable life jacket, as worn by sailors, pilots and Submariners. The fabric, which looked like rubber, dried out easily. Talcum powder was used to keep the fabric pliable. Later on, military technology was applied to making consumer life jackets. These have developed through the years to the various styles we see today. But any life jacket, inflatable or otherwise, must be worn to work. Here are the stats: 16 people go in the water with life-jackets on and 15 come out. 16 people go in the water without life jackets on – and one comes out…

Is It Working?

Well, in 1973, when the US population was 211.9 million, 1,754 people died on our waters. In 2022, with the US population at 333,287,557, 636 perished, (and that’s a 3.3% decrease from 2021.)

Do the math.

And don’t be a statistic!

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...”

It’s that time of year again; thousands of students from our area will be taking part in commencement ceremonies during the month of June, to celebrate the completion of their high school careers.

VETERANS WAY

BY REV. FREDERICK MILLER. PH.D.

The American Psychiatric Association, (the publishers and owner of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) define Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. With regard to the military and Veterans they associate the diagnosis with “Shell Shock” in World War I, “Battle fatigue” in World War II and “Vietnam Syndrome”, replacing the terms with PTSD. However, this may also have been Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) since they were fighting from trenches and the bombs and cannon shells were landing in those trenches making the explosive waves extra strong.

With the Vietnam War the troops were fighting against an enemy in civilian clothes and at close range. Many of them suffered from Moral Injury, not PTSD. This is even more true with the Iraq

and Afghanistan War where the enemy was not only dressed in civilian clothes, but included women and children. In addition they used more land mines, car bombs and bombs wrapped around the bodies of women and children who walked into the camps. These troops suffered more from TBI and Moral Injury than PTSD.

Traumatic brain injury is a concussion. Brain injuries are usually caused by direct brain damage, like damage to the skull. Because TBI affects the brain, it often leads to severe and negative symptoms. Many U.S. Veterans suffer from TBIs that result in persistent or chronic issues for years. Some TBIs and their effects only last for a few weeks or months, while others can result in permanent neurological damage or personality

changes. Unfortunately many of the symptoms can be vary similar to those of PTSD.

Most of the Veterans living at home or roaming the streets diagnosed with PTSD are afraid to get medical help for fear because they don’t want to be labeled with a permanent mental disorder. I have met with a number of these veterans with PTSD and found that the stigma of the “D” is very strong. Diagnosis of a mental disorder can, cause the loss of jobs or eliminate chances of getting one. This is the particular case for police, school teachers, civil service bus drivers and many other jobs

I have met with numerous Veterans to see if they needed help. Since 2012 I have serve on the Suffolk County American Legion as Chairman of the PTS committee designed to

help our brother and sister Veterans with these kinds of problems. Of those I met with 11 were on the verge of committing suicide. Fortunately during our meetings I discovered that their problem was not PTSD,

but Moral Injury. I was able to convince them what they did was not that bad and changed their attitude on suicide. Actually one of them is now going to college to learn how to be a counselor.

OF MEN & ANGELS Angels in Art

BY DOMINICK FORTE

The Second Nicaean Council decreed in 787 A.D. that depicting angels in both paintings and sculpture was legal. This decision of the early Church changed the total evolving of Christian angelic imagery. It left much of the responsibility for expressing angelic form in the hands of artists. This brought with it a surprising side effect. The role of artists during the Renaissance was to explore the world through a new point of view. The painters and sculpturers of this time were a catalyst. They challenged all the traditional ways of perceiving life and time and space long before the theologians and philosophers. Eventually the Church realized that the tangible, solid, and realistic images that donned their walls and ceilings were bringing down the old traditional order.

However, if we look at the 8th century as the original thoughts on angels were coming together, we see that

OBITUARY

ByBarbaraGuarinoKruk

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

the primary sources were not Christian at all, but pagan. The two major images which intrigued artists were the classic Greek examples of Nike, the winged Victory, and depictions of a winged Eros. It is fitting that Eros as Love, or his Roman counterpart Cupid, should encompass the image of later angels of mercy and love.

The Renaissance was full of paradoxes. While angels became less important in the eyes of theologians and Church thinkers, they became more real and human in the interiors and exteriors of church buildings. Michelangelo depicted them without wings in his masterpiece the Last Judgment in the Sistine chapel. But Michelangelo was ahead of his time in giving his angels corporeal form. The Church rebelled against the idea that angels had gender. The clergy clung to the concept of sexless angels. The Curia went as far as to order all traces of gender removed from angels presented

in human form.

By the 15th century, the perception of bland, genderless angelic beings was challenged by the thinking of the emerging, new philosophers. During this

A Man Dedicated to Duty

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.

extraordinary period in Europe and especially in the courts of the new trading and banking Princes exemplified by the Medicis of Florence, a truce evolved between the Church and secular powers regarding

the new humanistic ideas. In works of arts for the courts focus on angels diminished and interest swelled in classical heroes and gods. The old pagan images found a new life as those of the Heavenly Host faded. Eros was resurrected as the cycle came full turn.

Since the Renaissance the continuing evolution of the depiction of angels has been abruptly halted. The way we view them today is basically the way they were depicted during the height of the cultural rebirth which started in 14th century Florence. Our current perceptions of angels come from angelic folklore as well as official Church teachings.

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

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the County Legislature of the County of Suffolk, New York, will meet at the County Center in the Maxine S. Postal Auditorium of the Evans K. Griffing Building, 300 Center Drive, Riverhead, New York, in said County, on the 21st day of June, 2023, at 6:30 pm, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing upon a proposal for the establishment of a “Suffolk County Wastewater Management District,” with the merger therewith of all existing Suffolk County sewer districts, in substantial accordance with the report and recommendations transmitted to said County Legislature by the Suffolk County Sewer Agency, at which time and place the Suffolk County Legislature will consider such proposal and hear all parties interested therein concerning the same.

Copies of the report and recommendations for the establishment of the proposed district and merger are available in the Office of the Clerk of the County Legislature where they can be reviewed during normal business hours Monday through Friday.

Project Description

Pursuant to authority granted under the Suffolk County Water Quality Restoration Act, adopted under Chapter 58 of the 2023 Laws of New York, and amending Article 5-a of the New York County Law, the

County seeks to establish a county-wide wastewater management district (the “District”) to address the County’s long-term wastewater infrastructure needs comprehensively by implementing the sciencebased recommendations set forth in the Suffolk County Subwatersheds Wastewater Plan. This action will result in a more efficient, integrated approach to the development of new wastewater infrastructure, and consolidate the County’s existing sewer districts into a unified single zone of assessment, streamline the existing duplicative administrative structure, and optimize the use of the District’s resources. The recommended District structure and management approach will also standardize the cost of sewer services for property owners throughout the sewered portions of the District. A separate unsewered zone of assessment will be established for parcels not connected to a County sewer district or County wastewater treatment facility, for which infrastructure improvements will instead involve the replacement of antiquated cesspools and septic systems with nitrogen reducing Innovative Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems. Existing town and village sewer districts and systems will not be included as part of the District. As indicated herein, the District will be divided into two separate zones of assessment based on the current and intended form of wastewater treatment, either by County sewer treatment works, or by nitrogen reducing septic systems (IAOWTS), as set forth further in the “Map, Plan, Report and Recommendations for the Proposed Establishment of the Suffolk County Wastewater Management District” dated May 15, 2023 (the “Map, Plan and Report”) on file with the Department of Public Works and in the office of the Clerk of the Suffolk County Legislature.

Notice of Cost

As indicated herein, the District will consist of two zones of assessment, one that includes all parcels or properties that are currently

connected and will continue to be connected to County sewage treatment facilities (“sewered”), and one that includes all other areas of the County, excepting those that are excluded from the boundaries of the District by law, that are not currently connected to County sewage treatment (“unsewered”). Parcels which are currently unsewered but will be connected to sewers in the future as a result of wastewater infrastructure improvements will be added upon connection to the sewered zone of assessment. Parcels or properties that are located within the boundaries or connected to town or village sewer districts and sewer systems will be excluded from the countywide district. The County will not undertake any debt, financing by the issuance of bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, or otherwise use any County funding for the establishment of the District, and all existing debt from all County sewer districts will be consolidated into and become the debt of the District, however, only the sewered zone of assessment will be responsible for the repayment of such debt service. Existing property and assets of the existing individual County sewer districts shall become the property of the District, and existing indebtedness shall be assumed by the District, as set forth in the Map, Plan and Report.

Upon the establishment of the District, the cost to ratepayers will be dependent on the zone of assessment within which each parcel or property is located, and will be determined on a benefit basis as set forth in the Map, Plan and Report.

Properties within the sewered zone of assessment will be responsible for the operation and maintenance costs of the District’s sewer facilities, the ongoing debt service of the assumed and consolidated debt of the District, and the portion of the cost for future District improvement projects not funded by grants our other funding sources, undertaken within the sewered areas zone of assessment. Within the first year after the

establishment of the District, which is expected to be in 2025, the estimated annual cost to the typical one family home within the sewered zone of assessment, is $670 in total, or one single family equivalent. The $670 annual fee for the typical one family home will include a $196 contribution toward debt service and a contribution of $474 toward operation and maintenance costs. A single-family equivalent (“SFE”) is determined based on a property’s classification code. A single-family home is assigned one SFE, a twofamily home is two SFEs, and a three-family home Is three SFEs, as set forth further in the Map, Plan and Report. The annual cost for other property classifications within the sewered zone of assessment, as also set forth in the Map, Plan and Report, will be determined based on actual water use in the prior year as a factor of an SFE. The cost of future District improvement projects within the sewered zone of assessment not funded by grants or other funding sources will be borne by the entire zone of assessment and the cost to ratepayers will be similarly calculated on a benefit basis. Consistent with State law, properties within the un-sewered zone of assessment will not be responsible for any operation and maintenance costs or debt service for sewers or other wastewater improvement projects within the District.

All interested parties are encouraged to appear at the public hearing. Any questions should be forwarded to Commissioner Joseph Brown, P.E. at 631852-4205 at the Suffolk County Department of Public Works.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Legislature of the County of Suffolk New York will meet at the County Center in the Maxine S.

Postal Auditorium of the Evans K. Griffing Building, 300 Center Drive, Riverhead, New York in said County, on the 21st day of June 2023 at 6:30 pm, Prevailing Time, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing upon the Map and Plan for the increases and improvements to the facilities of Suffolk County Sewer District No. 14 –Parkland; in and about the Town of Islip substantially in accordance with the maps, plans, report and recommendations prepared by the Suffolk County Sewer Agency, with the assistance of the Suffolk County Department of Public Works, and filed with the Legislature of the County of Suffolk, at which time and place said County Legislature will consider such proposal and hear all parties interested therein concerning the same.

The public hearing is being held to address a proposed increase and improvement to the facilities of Sewer District No. 14 – Parkland that includes the rehabilitation

of sludge facilities as set forth in more detail in the maps, plans, report and recommendations on file (the “Map, Plan and Report”).

Notice of Cost

The total cost of the increase and improvement to the facilities of Sewer District No. 14 – Parkland (the “Project”) is estimated to be $2.15 million, as set forth in the Map, Plan and Report.

There will be no fiscal impact to the benefited properties within Suffolk County Sewer District No. 14 – Parkland as a result of the Project, since pursuant to the ASRF, all property owners in Suffolk County sewer districts experience a 3% annual increase regardless of any increases or improvements performed.

In the case of Suffolk County Sewer District No. 14, the annual ASRF increase will result in an increase of approximately $14 per typical property within the District, regardless of

additional funds necessary to complete the increase and improvement.

Copies of the Map, Plan and Report are available in the Office of the Department of Public Works, located in Yaphank and the Office of the Clerk of the County Legislature where they can be reviewed during normal business hours Monday through Friday. We encourage all interested parties to appear. Any questions should be forwarded to Janice McGovern at 631-8524205 at the Suffolk County Department of Public Works.
