The Brianna Lieneck Boating Safety Act of 2023 was recently introduced by Congressman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY-02). Co-sponsored by Representatives Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY-04) and Nick LaLota (R-NY01), the bill aims to commission a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) investigation into the current state of recreational boating operator education, seeking to augment safety measures and diminish the prevalence of accidents.
The legislation honors the memory of Brianna Lieneck, an 11-year-
old Long Island girl whose life was tragically cut short in a boating accident in 2005. The incident involved a 25-foot boat, operated by an unlicensed individual, colliding with a boat carrying Brianna and her family. Since then, Gina Lieneck, Brianna's mother, has become an active advocate for mandatory boating licenses.
"Many Long Islanders spend their summers enjoying boating and other water activities, but if we don't proactively prioritize safety that's when tragedies, like the one that befell the Lieneck family, happen," said Rep. Garbarino. He cited a USCG report
from 2020 that revealed a startling statistic: untrained boat operators were implicated in 77% of fatal recreational boating accidents nationwide.
Between 2012 and 2021, USCG records indicate that boating accidents have claimed the lives of 6,477 people. Furthermore, alcohol has been identified as contributing to 15 boating deaths in New York state since 2018.
Representative LaLota added, "As a Navy man, boater, and Long Islander, I understand that increasing boating education and safety training will go a long way to preventing injuries
and fatalities like what happened to Brianna Lieneck." Meanwhile, Representative D'Esposito also affirmed the significance of the federal government's role in ensuring boater safety, spotlighting the preventable tragedies resulting from intoxicated boaters.
Gina Lieneck shared her heartwrenching personal experience and called upon Congress members to support the Brianna Lieneck Boating Safety Act of 2023. "Understanding the ins and outs of boater's safety protects your family," she said. "Beginner boaters and experienced experts alike
need to be familiar with the boating safety rules of operation. I never want another family to have go through what my family went through."
The Act specifically calls for a comprehensive study and subsequent report on recreational vessel operator training. The resulting report would cover existing training programs, steps taken by USCG and NASBLA to advocate for mandatory operator training, the minimum standards for operator education, the administration of a federal boating education program, and the extent of its applicability to all state waters.
Library officials have finally admitted what they’ve been trying to hide for the last few months: They’re $6.86 million over budget on the construction of two new annexes and the renovation of the main Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Community Library.
The admission came in response to a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request filed by the South Shore Press and written questions posed to library officials in March. As the paper started publishing stories about the cost overruns, which currently amount to 25% more than what voters were originally told, Library Director Kerri Rosalia took to Facebook to say the paper was lying about the district’s finances.
When the community was asked for permission to go into long-term debt for the projects, the proposed amount to borrow was $22.7 million, which library officials said they would augment with $4 million in reserve funds. With both unforeseen overruns and addons by the library board, the total projected cost has ballooned to $33.5 million.
In a statement titled, “SHAME ON THE SOUTH SHORE PRESS,” issued just prior to the library’s annual budget vote and trustee election in April, Rosalia said, “Shame on the South Shore Press for inaccurately reporting that ‘cost overruns’ have occurred at the Mastics-Moriches-ShirleyCommunity Library. NOT TRUE. No cost overruns have occurred in connection with the library’s renovation. The publication's grossly misleading headlines misinform readers that $3 million in ‘cost overruns’ have occurred. In reality, there has been no such overspending.”
In her Freedom of Information response dated May 31, Rosalia reported “Board Approved Expenditures Over the Referendum By Project–Actuals” totalling $6,861,748.89. The overruns included $369,047 beyond the budgeted amount of $500,000 for specialized sanitary systems as required by the county and $398,000 for a fire sprinkler system, which is also over the $500,000 budget. Other board-approved add-ons include: IT and security upgrades, expanded interior glazing, movable glass partitions, cultured stone veneer, enhanced children’s program area, generator electrical rough-in, enhanced ceilings, and bathroom renovations, among about two dozen items.
In addition to COVID-related supply chain issues and increased prices due to inflation, costs for the main library renovation soared when the walls were opened up and numerous deficiencies were exposed. The library has spent $1,178,885 so far to remediate the issues as of the May 31 report and projects another $1,847,000 in overruns. The problems with the existing structure, which required
an almost complete tear-down, included deficient steel support beams and wooden framing in the elevator shaft. These required unanticipated demolition, construction, concrete, and architectural and engineering fees, library officials reported.
“They should have seen this coming,” said John Sicignano, President of the Mastic Park Civic Association and long-time watchdog of library spending. “It’s sad. They misled the public regarding the true costs.” He likened the extras added by the board to a family putting in a new kitchen. “You get a price from the contractor and while you’re at work, your other half says I want this and that. You don’t find out about the add-ons until you get the bill.”
A former candidate for the library board of trustees, Sicignano continued: “They opened it up and they said the shaft was made out of wood for the elevator and all this nonsense. So they didn't do their due diligence to know what was the matter with the building to begin with. I think it's out of ignorance that this has gotten this bad. They just didn't do their job up front,” he said, adding, “They lied to the public, is what they did. I knew this was going to happen, I knew it from the beginning. I had met with them and you feel like you’re talking to the wall.”
Library Board President Joseph Maiorana acknowledged back in April that the three projects would require spending over original projections and explained that the additional costs would be covered by “value engineering” and grants. His motion at last week’s trustee meeting to hire a grant writer for $5,000 was tabled after Board Member Nancy Marks started questioning it and requested to take the matter into Executive Session. By then, Trustee Wendy Gross had left the meeting. Asked about the cost overruns, Gross referred questions to Maiorana saying that the board wanted to speak through him in a “unified voice,” a sentiment also expressed by Trustee Michael Dubois. Board member Joseph Furnari and Marks did not respond to requests for comment. Library Director Rosalia did not respond to a request to elaborate on her FOIL information.
When asked for comment on the overruns, Maiorana issued a statement saying “when circumstances require the library district to engage in unexpected spending, our number-one goal is to not turn to our patrons for additional tax proceeds. Today, due to circumstances almost entirely beyond our control, the district is required to meet approximately $6.8 million in unanticipated costs. Fortunately, we will not need to look to local taxpayers for additional funds to cover these expenses.”
According to the board president, “A major proportion of these unexpected expenses is attributable to cost escalations from the COVID
pandemic, near-record levels of inflation, and supply chain issues. Also, much of this figure derives from unanticipated structural issues discovered at the main library. These structural issues were caused by engineering mistakes made more than 20 years ago. Imperceptible to the naked eye, we were only able to discover them recently during rehabilitation work at the main building. Regrettably, the statute of limitations has expired on these errors from decades ago. Thus, there is no way for us to collect on them retroactively.”
He went on to say that “in keeping with standard library budgeting ‘best practices’ embraced by libraries Island-wide, our existing financial assets include reserve funds to help us address contingencies such as this. We have also boosted the scale of cost-saving measures being undertaken as part of the main library rehabilitation. Also, the district has instructed our architects to maximize opportunities for value engineering. And we've curtailed certain optional and esthetic features originally planned for the main building. The library board is also vigorously pursuing multiple sources of state and local funding, as well as private foundation grant opportunities. The district has already received county funding to help cover costs relating to the new sewage system.”
“I am flabbergasted that the cost overruns are so high,” said Ray Keenan, President of the Mastic Park Civic Association, who was skeptical that the library can even hold the number at that level. “Best of luck getting government or private grants to cover that much spending,” he said. Keenan was among a number of residents upset that a promised renovation of the Little Red School House in Moriches has taken a back seat to the main library project. “We were promised a million dollars from the bond for the red school house–that’s why many of us voted for the borrowing the second time around.” Maiorana had previously said that nothing will happen with the school building until after the main library renovation is complete.
Frank Fugarino, president of the Pattersquash Creek Civic Association, said he doesn’t blame the trustees for the unseen problems with the main library structure and the inflation issues. “I think they have been truthful. They should appeal to state officials for additional funding,” he suggested, adding that the project should be delayed until all of the projected costs can be explained to the taxpayers. “They should not, under any circumstances, go back to the taxpayers for any additional money.”
According to the information provided under the FOIL request, the library has expended $19,385,000 so far on the capital projects and will be paying interest on the borrowing at rates between 4-5% through 2045. Borrowing costs so far have amounted to $6,149,526. The project budget
includes a “Contingency” line with $1.75 million and there is also $1 million for furnishings that can be tapped. Due to cost overruns at the Moriches Annex, old furniture was used rather than the budgeted new appointments.
“Based on the advice of our accountant, we are expending bond proceeds first and reserve funds second,” Rosalia reported. “As such, we have not expended any reserve funds on the project yet. These will be expended at the main library as the work progresses. We currently have $6,012,356 in the capital reserve fund and $6,266,204 in the general fund (as of the most recently audited financial statements for fiscal year ending June 30, 2023).”
Shirley resident Frank DeNatale railed at the use of the reserve funds to pay for the overruns. “These were monies collected from the taxpayers under false pretenses for books, programs, staff, supplies, and now they’re being diverted to cover their management of the construction projects. In essence, they’re stealing money from the taxpayers who approved the funds for services which they are not
going to receive,” said DeNatale, who questioned the costs associated with running a main library and the two annexes. “One main library should be sufficient. Why do we need three with all of the associated costs?”
The use of reserve funds created by not spending money approved by voters for the annual library budget was also a bone of contention with Keenan. “It’s not proper to amass reserve funds that were budgeted for costs associated with operating the library,” he said. “Voters approved these monies for one thing and they are using them for another. It has been our position that unused operating funds should be returned to the taxpayers, or used to offset any future tax increases.”
Rosalia in her FOIL response said she is unable to determine how much money from the current budget will be added to the reserve fund until the end of the fiscal year, which runs to early 2024. She said they don’t have a line in the operating budget for reserves and is not expected to return any excess funds to the taxpayers.
These are public boards, people should have faith in them and then they do something like this. It’s really not right,” said Shirley resident Ken Olivo, another past library board candidate who pointed out that the William Floyd school trustees gave residents a break by lowering taxes 17%. “It looks like we’ve been overpaying all of these years,” he said, “and they have been squirreling the money away. They shouldn’t lie. You think they are on the level and then you find out they are not.”Kenneth Olivo, Board Member Greater Mastic Beach Chamber of Commerce; Colonial Youth & Family Services; Bay Area Civic Association; JV Kavanaugh Columbian Club
For many, July 4th means fireworks but for animals the pyrotechnic blasts can mean a deadly threat. And for Joe Rocco and Jackie Roche, founders of The Broken Antler Wildlife Rescue, that is nothing to celebrate.
Their Riverhead organization rescues many wild animals throughout the year. Too often during the summer they are called upon to save mostly injured or orphaned deer. “Honestly, we see more displaced fawns around July 4th going into August,” Joe said, “and if they’re not orphaned they are in situations where they get injured due to panic and stress.”
Among the worst injuries are fawns with broken legs, covered in ticks because the mother, possibly a casualty herself, is not around to care for it. A sick or vulnerable animal is also at risk for fly strike, a potentially deadly condition in which flies lay their eggs on the animal’s body. When the maggots
hatch out they feed on the animal. “Those are the ones that look like Swiss cheese,” according to Joe. “The maggots are eating them alive.”
Quick response and medical care are crucial to an animal’s recovery.
“If an animal does not get help— because it’s not like they can call 911—it will most likely die from its injuries,” he continued. “As for orphaned wildlife, it is crucial that they have their mother. Without the mother taking care of the baby, whether by cleaning it to rid it of pests like ticks, or nursing, those babies left on their own will slowly deteriorate without immediate help.”
“If you want to go see fireworks, go where they are professionally and safely set off. But when it’s a private backyard show and everybody on the block is doing it it’s basically like the world is ending for every creature that lives there,” he said. “And beyond the animals, what about people that served overseas in combat? They may have PTSD from what they’ve gone through.
Now, instead of feeling safe in their own home it sounds like Falluja outside.”
Since 2020, however, many public fireworks displays have been canceled because of the Covid virus, leading to an increase in illegal sales and use. Roman candles, bottle rockets, bombs, skyrockets, sparklers, including those on metal wires and hand held, and firecrackers are illegal in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Violation may include a prison sentence of up to four years and fines.
If you see an injured deer or other wild animal, do not touch it or attempt to care for it yourself. Call a wildlife rescue organization such as The Broken Antler at 631 829-8880, Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue (631 728-4200), STAR Wildlife Rescue 631 736-8207 or the Suffolk County Police 631 852-COPS for assistance.
To report the sale or use of illegal fireworks call 911 or 631 852-COPS; to report prior or continuing sale or
use, or to report a tip about potential use or sale call 311.

Betty and Bill are headed to a
much-needed respite, embarking on a trip to the Italy Peninsula with stops in Spain, Monaco, Tuscany, Rome and Naples.
Friends and family turned out recently to herald Bill Guiducci, a pillar of the Mastic Beach community who’s been behind many service organizations and efforts to help the neighborhood. The local banker, 79, was feted at St. Jude’s Church which he’s been a big part of for more than a quarter century.
Taking accolades alongside his wife, Betty, the acknowledged secret behind his success, Guiducci accepted an award from the Knights of Columbus St. Judes Council for his assistance with their reading program. “Bill is always looking out for us,” said the council's financial secretary, Jack Monti, of Mastic. “He sells the most tickets to our events and has touched so many. We appreciate all of the love you have given us and we want to share ours back to you,” he told the honoree.
“We’ve all taken some fatherly advice from Bill. ‘Don’t be a man of success’, he would tell us. ‘Be a man of value,’” said Ken Gillio, a K of C Grand Knight. “We know that everything he says is from the heart.”
Originally from the Bronx, Bill worked for Union Savings and
other local banks throughout his career, always staying in touch with his community. “What hasn’t he been involved with?” his wife Betty asked. Aside from the K of C and the church, Bill has been with the Rotary and has been a big help to the Grace Lutheran Church. He’s famous for his role in the St. Jude’s highly-successful annual golf outing.
“He has his fingerprints on everything that’s good in the TriHamlet Area,” said Wendy Gross, a trustee with the Mastics-MorichesShirley Community Library. “Bill is our guiding light, definitely one of our favorite people in the world; he makes you feel so great. He’s definitely the pillar of our community, he’s the guy you can trust.”
“He always has a good word to say about everything,” said St. Jude’s Pastor, Father John Ryan. “He has great wisdom and sets himself apart by his acts of charity. He is someone you can always rely on.”
Among those celebrating the community stalwart were the family of Bill Doyle, who is an aide to Senator Alexis Weik; St. Jude’s original pastor, Father Mirro; Deacon John Gagliaridi; Father Leoni; future St. Jude’s Council
Long Islanders were confronted with a strange sight recently as smoke from huge wildfires in Canada blotted out the sun and cast an eerie pall over the landscape. Health advisories were issued and outdoor activities canceled as the acrid smell of smoke filled the air.
As the smoky haze lingered, air quality alerts were issued throughout the Northeast and parts of the Midwest with New York and Chicago registering among the worst pollution of any cities on the globe. Those venturing outdoors caught a pungent whiff of smoke from over 150 fires burning in Nova Scotia and Quebec. Flights at major airports were canceled and outdoor school activities nixed as the day wore on and people were warned to stay inside. Soot collected on cars and people coming in from the outside could smell smoke in their hair and clothes.
“You could barely see the traffic signs ahead of you,” said Stony Brook real estate broker Parker Hough driving down Sunrise Highway near William Floyd Parkway. “The sun looked like a pale reddish blob; it was quite surreal.” Children and adults, especially those with pulmonary
or respiratory disease such as asthma, were warned to stay inside.
Center Moriches resident Bryan Hellmer said the smoke had burned his eyes and caused a raspiness in his throat. “I had been smoking some beef briskets and pork ribs in my outdoor cooker and that didn’t bother me as much as the smoke from the wildfires,” he said. “The sky had a weird minion yellow glow and the morning sun was shining like a red rubber ball.”
Exposure to air pollution can cause inflammation and weaken the immune system, particularly if the tiny particles penetrate the lungs and enter the bloodstream, health officials warn. Smoke and
other particulates can increase the risk of asthma, lung cancer and other chronic lung diseases, particularly in the vulnerable, including the elderly, pregnant women, infants, and children.
As the weather pattern kept the region in the path of the drifting smoke from the Canada conflagrations, the U.S. sent manpower and equipment to help beat back the flames. More than 600 firefighters coordinated by the National Interagency Fire Center headed north, along with waterbombing aircraft and a team of forest rangers from various states. A shift in the winds have spared the lower 48 for now, but the fires still rage out of control and observers are keeping a sharp eye to see if conditions change.

The graduating class of the Sunshine Prevention Center, an alternate education service based in Centereach, is looking forward to college and other opportunities as they commenced during a special ceremony cheered on by their teachers and local dignitaries who support the special school.
“Changing lives through alternate education and prevention” is the motto of the school committed to the academic achievement, social and life success of at-risk individuals. During a tearful ceremony that featured heart rendering success stories from parents and students alike, five students received their diplomas, while eight moved up to higher grades. The students had disengaged from the educational process due to various issues and were empowered to take
responsibility for their own actions and make better choices for their future, including living up to their potential by graduating.
“These are remarkable achievements,” said Brookhaven Supervisor Edward Romaine, who attended the graduation. “These students were faced with great difficulties in their lives and overcame them. Thanks to their own perseverance, and a staff of dedicated teachers and staff, they are moving ahead with their lives. We are so very proud of each and every one of them,” Romaine said.
The school subscribes to P.E.A.C.E.--Prevention Education And Cultural Enrichment in its academic instruction, programs and parent support. “I was out of options with my child and the Sunshine Center was a Godsend,” said one grateful
On Tuesday June 27th, 2023 at approximately 5:04p.m. the Selden Fire Department was activated for a Motor Vehicle Accident with ejection at Boyle Road and Middle Country Road, in Selden. Selden Medic 17 was the first unit out on the road. Next on to road was Selden Chief 32, Dispatch advised all units on the road of a possible traumatic arrest. Upon arrival of Medic 17 there was a Vehicle Vs. Electric Scooter accident observed, in which the rider of the scooter was ejected off after attempting to cross the street. Numerous Suffolk County Police sectors and Selden Fire Department apparatus then arrived on scene, Selden Chief 32 gave a standby with the exception of any units in the road. At 5:13p.m. Selden Chief 32 transmitted a Dead on Arrival. The scene was then placed under control. Selden
Ambulance 16 transported the driver of the vehicle to a local hospital with a head injury which was determined to be non-life threatening. The scene was then handed over to Suffolk County Police, Crime Scene Section, and Homicide Detectives. There was an ongoing investigation hours after the initial call but the results are determined to be non-criminal. The Selden Fire Department was then called back to the scene for a wash down. Henry Leib, 53, of Selden was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from Suffolk County Medical Examiners Office. A
2009 Ford Escape was traveling southbound on Boyle Road, in Selden, when the vehicle and scooter collided just north of Middle Country Road. The 2009 Ford Escape was later impounded by the Suffolk County Police for a safety check and further investigation.
parent of a graduating senior. “Little did I realize that I was to be fully involved in the program as well.”
A beautiful analogy was offered about Japanese pottery and how the cracks are always filled in, because it is never perfect. Everyone has their setbacks, but we learn how to cope and deal with our lives and its challenges. Everyone at the event was filled with a sense of pride, excitement and community.
Aside from an entire row of elected officials attending the ceremony, the school is supported by any number of local groups and businesses. Its campus is a quiet and safe place where students are taught how to rise above their problems and make a success of themselves. Administrators from the school districts sending students to the center were also full of praise.

Republican voters in the 1st District chose Catherine Stark by a wide margin to be their candidate in the November election for the Suffolk legislature. The endorsed candidate of the Republican Party, she brushed back a challenge by Greg Williams, 1,350-810, and will go on to face Catherine Kent.
A long-time aide to Legislator Al Krupski, Stark hopes to ascend to his seat as he moves
on to run for Southold Town supervisor. The Riverhead resident said she will stick to the platform she espoused in the primary including farmland and open space preservation, wastewater management, traffic control, and public safety. “It will be the summer of chicken barbecues,” Stark said, promising to spend a great deal of time with the voters. It was her 27 years in government that Stark said gave her an edge against Williams.
“People know me, they know I’ve been involved with their issues,
their concerns all these years.”
“I’m happy to have received the support of so many voters,” Williams said, thanking his wife Karen for being at his side during the campaign. He pointed to a petition challenge that sidetracked his campaign in the beginning and forced him to spend $30,000 in legal fees that he could have spent on advertising. “This may not have changed the outcome,” he said, “but it did have an effect.” He suggested that his supporters stay tuned. “I’ve always been extremely active in
the community and will remain involved,” said Williams, the owner of Country Time Cycles in Mattituck.
“People live here because of our natural resources, our beautiful environment,” Stark said. “My goal is to protect and preserve them.”
The 1st district encompasses the North Fork, Shelter Island and parts of Brookhaven Town. “I’ll be the only legislator who covers five towns,” Stark said if she wins November 7.

Thorne's directive reflects the county's commitment to public safety and proactive emergency response. Equipping police patrol vehicles with epi-pens aims to provide critical interventions promptly and potentially save lives.
The move to outfit police patrol vehicles with epinephrine auto-injectors underscores Fire,
ByRaheemSoto"Seconds count, not minutes," emphasized Suffolk County Legislator Dominick Thorne (R), Chairman of the Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services & Preparedness Committee, as he discussed his bill to equip police patrol vehicles in the county with epinephrine autoinjectors. Thorne's proposal aims to ensure timely treatment for severe allergic reactions, known as anaphylaxis, which can be potentially life-threatening.
Thorne stated, "It is critical to have these pens in our police cars as about 90% of our police force are EMTs. In situations like this where every moment is crucial, safety is paramount, no matter anyone's socioeconomic standing." He further explained, "Epinephrine auto-injectors are the fastest treatment for anaphylactic shock outside of a hospital environment."
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to allergens. It can cause a drop in blood pressure, airway constriction, and shock, jeopardizing a person's life. Thorne highlighted the concern, stating that "cases of anaphylaxis are on the rise nationwide and
in Suffolk County." Common triggers include peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, eggs, insect stings, certain medications, and latex.
Recognizing the urgency of addressing anaphylaxis promptly, Thorne emphasized that "epinephrine is the most effective and commonly used initial treatment for anaphylaxis."
He noted that epinephrine autoinjectors, widely known as "epi-pens," provide emergency treatment for life-threatening allergic reactions. Thorne also emphasized the crucial role of police officers as first responders, stating that they are often the first on the scene during such emergencies.
Under the proposed resolution, the Suffolk County Police Department would be directed to ensure that all police patrol vehicles are equipped with epinephrine auto-injectors within 120 days of adoption. Additionally, Thorne stated, "The Commissioner of the Suffolk County Police Department is tasked with ensuring that officers who man vehicles containing epinephrine auto-injectors receive the necessary training to administer the life-saving medication as required by state and federal
Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services & Preparedness Committee's dedication to the well-being and safety of its Suffolk residents. By prioritizing swift and effective interventions during critical moments, the committee aims to strengthen emergency response capabilities and protect the lives of its community members.
Thorne says, "Having
epinephrine auto-injectors readily available in police patrol vehicles can be a matter of life or death. This resolution is a proactive step towards ensuring the safety and well-being of Suffolk County residents."

About $2 billion in child support payments never make it to the intended families as the government takes a vig from money winding its way through the system.
“More than $2 billion in child support is intercepted each year in the United States” reported Lynne Haney, a professor at New York University, and Aunray Sanford, a youth specialist at ManUp! Inc. and a formerly incarcerated father of two. Both are researchers at NYU's Prison Education Program Research Lab.
In New York, $112 million never makes it to children, they said, leaving disadvantaged families without support they need, while fathers making payments fall deeper into debt.
When families turn to public assistance — from Family Assistance to Medicaid to foster care to (in some states) food stamps — they must file a child support order, according to the researchers in a recent op-ed. Half of all child support cases involve some form of public assistance. The cost of those benefits is then billed to noncustodial parents as child support. Mothers have no right to this support. Some states “pass through” a small amount of these
payments to families, but are not required to do so. Instead, the state takes this money to settle a debt, leaving families unsupported.
Payback provisions have been part of the U.S. child support program since its inception. But 1996 federal welfare reform legislation bolstered collections. Support debt surged from $49 billion in 1997 to $116 billion in 2021, with 70 percent of it owed by parents who earn less than $15,000 per year. In New York, these parents owe $7 billion. When they find a way to pay, the funds are often intercepted by federal, state, and local governments before reaching families — seizures justified as a way to get tough on absentee dads.
“Our research finds that few New York parents know this is happening,” Haney and Sanford said. “Most fathers assume their payments go to mothers; most mothers assume fathers aren’t paying. Family conflict escalates as parents blame each other for not supporting their kids. When they learn of the payout chain, some fathers pay mothers directly, which angers court officials.”
The second form of state debt is interest charges. Most states subject support debt to 2-12 percent compound interest. New
York’s 9 percent rate causes debt to accumulate so rapidly it becomes impossible to pay back, according to the researchers.
State officials insist that interest pushes fathers to pay their debts faster. But fathers must be able to repay those debts. Few can. “We’ve found that most indebted fathers don’t understand why their debt keeps growing, even as they make payments on it. They often respond by withdrawing from the process, and their kids’ lives, out of frustration and guilt,” they said, urging New York to change its payback policies and pass through 100 percent of payments to parents as is done in California and Colorado. They can also waive the interest rate, especially for impoverished parents and those with histories of incarceration.
New Jersey recently set its interest rate at zero, joining states like Mississippi and Louisiana. Existing interest debt should be canceled, making repayment within parents’ reach and more money within families’ reach.
“Ending these predatory state practices would prioritize the well-being of New York families. Our social safety net should not have a payback price tag. It should be there to catch families that need it.”

The Suffolk County Board of Elections is entrusted with the crucial responsibility of overseeing the electoral process, ensuring that elections in the county are conducted with fairness, transparency, and accessibility. Comprising a bipartisan group of officials, the Board works collaboratively to uphold the integrity of the electoral system. From appointing commissioners to making key decisions, their commitment to democracy and public engagement ensures that Suffolk County residents can exercise their right to vote and shape the future of their community.
The Board operates with a bipartisan structure to ensure balanced decision-making. Commissioners are appointed by the party chairs of the Democratic and Republican parties, avoiding bias and promoting neutrality in the
Board's operations. This bipartisan composition allows for fair representation and collective decision-making in matters related to the electoral process.
The commissioners collectively make significant decisions pertaining to the electoral process.
They establish polling locations, review candidate petitions, and resolve election disputes. The Board's objective is to uphold the integrity and fairness of elections in Suffolk County. By ensuring that every vote counts and all candidates receive equitable treatment, the Board safeguards the democratic principles upon which our society is built.
The Board of Elections assumes various responsibilities critical to the electoral process. Their duties encompass voter registration, managing polling places, overseeing candidate
State officials have committed to making the state green by whatever means necessary, even targeting your gas stoves. The initial plan will ban most newly constructed buildings from having gas stoves and other gas powered appliances. In place of this, all electric heating and cooking appliances will be mandated in newly constructed buildings under seven stories by 2026.
The specific legislation targeting the stoves was included within the Fiscal Year 2024 State Budget. As detailed in the voter rolls the budget passed (123-27) with majorities in support on the floor and Finance Committee. According to the budget the State is focused on “Combating climate change and investing in energy affordability by implementing first-in-the-nation zero-emission requirements for new building construction, and expanding the New York Power Authority’s ability to support New York’s climate goals.” This has caused financial concern to families and small businesses that use gas heating and cooking.
Dave Lorell is the Health and Safety Officer for Paraco Gas, and he gives his professional perspective on the issue. When asked about the study used to justify the climate provisions of the FY 24 State Budget he said, “The study is skewed. There’s a multitude of reasons why indoor air quality could be polluted. It’s a weak study”. Mr. Lorell is also not sure what the economic impact would be on the consumer and the
filings, conducting election recounts, and certifying election results. They play a vital role in enforcing election laws and ensuring compliance with state regulations. The Board creates an environment that fosters trust and confidence in the electoral system by fulfilling these responsibilities. Transparency and public engagement are central to the operations of the Suffolk County Board of Elections. The Board actively provides residents with information on voter registration, polling locations, and key election dates. By equipping citizens with essential knowledge, the Board empowers them to participate actively in the electoral process. Public engagement initiatives ensure that residents are well-informed and have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote.
As residents of Suffolk County, recognizing the vital
role of the Board of Elections and staying informed about their work allows us to actively participate in the democratic process and contribute to fair and transparent elections in our community. By engaging with the Board and exercising our right to vote, we collectively shape the future of Suffolk
County and ensure that our voices are heard.
Contact the Suffolk County Board of Elections at (631) 8524500, Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 4:30 pm for any inquiries or assistance. The Board's office is conveniently located at 700 Yaphank Ave, Yaphank, New York 11980.
business owner, “I don’t know if there will be an inverse reaction to prices of goods…we’re not sure of the impact on the propane marketer.” Mr. Lorell also mentions that Electric Heating and cooking is inferior to natural gas heating and cooking, “Electric is ineffective for heating when compared to natural gas…people like the ability to control how much natural gas to expend when cooking, you do not have the freedom with electric appliances.”
According to the 2016 “How is Economic Opportunity Threatened in Your Neighborhood?” study, 58% of New Yorkers do not have enough money for essentials or for emergency spending. This reality raises questions regarding what will happen if gas stoves and their parts
become unavailable with the shift towards expanding the presence of electric stoves. Governor Hochul is stated as saying “I want to be very clear. I know people love to misinterpret this, but people with existing gas stoves, you're welcome to keep them. This is where our nation has to go eventually. But I want to make sure that it's not a bumpy road to the transition." While the day that totally removes gas appliances seems to be unknown, what is known is the current costs for both gas and electric appliances and their hookups.
After searching Home Depot or any major department store’s website you can see the price averages of both gas and electric stoves. The lower cost options for gas stoves are typically between
$350-450 while the cheapest electric stoves start at $500. According to ConsumerAffairs.com it costs on average $350 per line when converting to electric heating and appliances. When comparing gas and electric appliances, maintenance costs and life of the appliances must also be analyzed. Gas stoves and ovens have fewer parts, so the maintenance and shelf life is longer compared to their technologically complex counterparts. With the push to eventually ban stoves comes the unfortunate reality that many of us will have to pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to replace gas lines and purchase new heating and cooking appliances.
Similar concerns were expressed by State Assemblyman Ed Flood (RD4) “First, the transfer over will cost
New Yorkers. The cost of electric is unbelievably high right now (sic). My bill regularly exceeds my gas bill every month. It's making it so there's no more competition with the electric companies. By taking every form of energy to electric, the companies will have a monopoly and have no incentive to keep the rates reasonable.” When asked about any problems implementing the plan in 2026, Assemblyman Flood expressed concerns with how the construction process will be hampered. “The plan will create massive problems for people already in the construction process. Changing plans, zoning issues, and those looking for permits will incur more costs for builders and families.” When reached for comment at his constituent office, Assemblyman Phil Ramos (D-Brentwood) was unavailable for comment on the issue.
There are ultimately many unknowns with this gas stove ban, however the prospects do not look good. From a business and consumer perspective the exact effect and extent of the economic repercussions are absolutely unknown. However, going off of the current reality of current electricity rates they are high. According to PSEG’s peak rates for residential buildings, the average Super Off Peak is $0.67/kWh, Off Peak is $0.10/kWh and Peak is $0.17/ kWh. The concerns over this issue are many and as 2026 approaches, elected officials will certainly be asked many more questions regarding this from an increasingly alarmed and tax weary citizenry.
New York will be running deficits of $35.4 billion over three years starting in 2025, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Division of the Budget in a report analyzing the record $229 billion spending plan she inked in May.
The deficit projections, buried in an overview of a budget that comes in $8.6 billion more than current state spending, show Hochul’s financial plan starting to unravel in two years with a $9.1 billion hole. The following year, the state will be an additional $13.9 billion in the red and another $13.4 billion the year after that.
“The increase in the gaps over the Financial Plan period (FY 2025 through FY 2027) are principally due to additional downward revisions in projected tax receipts reflected in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan,” the governor’s budget division reported. Record inflation, restrictive energy policies, and the flagging economy are expected to put an enormous load on the state’s bottom line.
“The fiscally responsible legislators in Albany have been fighting tooth and nail against the tax-and-spend policies, yet they refuse to see the dire consequences of hitting up the taxpayers for their record spending binges,” said Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano. “We’re not a bottomless pit that the
state politicians can keep shoveling money out of. Hochul’s own budget office says this thing is going to start crashing down in just two short years, but Hochul and the spend-spend-spend Democrats just don’t seem to care.”
The state’s historic spending spree covers a grab bag of Hochul priorities including:
Bailing out the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Providing more than $1 billion in “extraordinary funding” for migrant services.
New operating and capital aid for health care.
Expanding mental health inpatient, outpatient, and support services.
Fully funding the school district Foundation Aid program.
Increasing State University endowments.
Funding the cost for New York service providers to cover the statemandated minimum wage increase.
Discounting electric bills for low and moderate-income customers.
Expanding free school meals.
Increasing aid for legal defense and discovery for indigent and lowincome individuals.
Rent arrears assistance.
Hochul’s budget does little to
relieve the burden on the highest taxed residents in the nation as New Yorkers leave the state in record numbers, the highest rate of outmigration of any state that’s sure
in.
“People are leaving in droves and the rest of us will be left holding the bag,” DeStefano said. “It’s an
absolute tragedy that our kids and seniors, and practically everyone else, are finding it harder and harder to make ends meet in our once prosperous Empire State.”
Caitlyn Michiels, a young lady from Mastic diagnosed with a serious eye disease, received a boost from Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano in her mission to provide eyeglasses and other help for those in need and spread eye health awareness.
Diagnosed with Bilateral Anterior Uveitis, her efforts led to the approval of Caitlyn’s Law, a requirement that directs the county Department of Heath to distribute information on eye health. Suffolk also designated the month of August as Children's Eye Health and Safety Awareness month thanks to her advocacy.
Back in 2018, Caitlyn woke up with a burning sensation in her eyes and after consultation with her doctor, learned of the debilitating condition. Instead of letting her condition slow her down, the nine-year old went to work to make sure other children with vision challenges were taken care of. Now a teenager, her group, Caitlyn’s Vision, has brought in thousands of glasses in collection boxes seen all over the area which are refurbished
and distributed to those in need.
“The community is proud of this brave, energetic young lady who dedicated herself in a highly successful effort to take care of others,” DeStefano said. “I urge everyone to turn in their used glasses or make a donation. The funds will go towards educational material,
scholarships for students entering the Optometry field and helping pay down medical bills for patients who do not have insurance,” according to DeStefano. For more information, head to https://caitlynsvision.org/ or email caitlynsvision@gmail.com if you know of someone who needs assistance.
The COVID-19 pandemic has, without a doubt, changed the world – and one of its most notable effects has been the acceleration of technology initiatives as the public and private sectors seek to digitize more operations and communications. Many artificial intelligence (AI) products have come out of these advances, and many are being put to use by state and local governments with input from private tech companies.
Government is adopting AI at an accelerating pace. New York City and state agencies, for example, have experienced a broad expansion of AI applications, such as chatbots. And now, with last year’s widespread introduction of
generative AI tools that can create new content such as text and images, it appears that further changes are on the way.
As technological advancement continues, it is imperative that the private sector and government institutions meet the moment by adopting comprehensive risk mitigation strategies and effective AI governance frameworks that prioritize transparency, accuracy and fairness.
Unfortunately, the ability to understand the risks involved with some AI products – and the strategies to reduce or eliminate those risks – has not kept up with the pace at which AI is being put to use. Numerous studies have shown a significant rise in AI adoption and investment, with a majority of respondents foreseeing a further boost in AI investment in the coming years.
Alarmingly, organizations have made little progress in addressing well-known AIrelated risks, such as bias, lack of transparency and safety concerns.
This concerning trend is also evident in government institutions. My recent report on AI governance in New York City found that the city lacks an effective AI governance framework. City agencies have been left to develop their own divergent approaches to AI governance, resulting in ad hoc and incomplete measures that fail to ensure transparency, accuracy and fairness in AI systems.
This is concerning because while AI promises vast opportunities, it also carries inherent risks. Several incidents - even before the pandemic, illustrated the unintentional harm that can be caused by government AI systems
designed or implemented irresponsibly. For instance, a faulty automated fraud detection system in Michigan erroneously accused thousands of unemployment insurance recipients of fraud, causing financial ruin for many. Similar issues have plagued other systems related to Medicaid eligibility determinations, facial recognition, criminal justice, health care, teacher evaluations and job recruitment applications.
New York City has been a forerunner in examining the use of AI. It was among the first to establish a Task Force dedicated to examining the responsible use of automated decision-making systems, including AI systems. However, the city’s efforts are no longer keeping pace with this rapidly advancing technology. Despite the Task Force's recommendations and the
expansion of AI applications during the pandemic, New York City does not have an effective AI governance framework.
As we continue to embrace the technological leaps brought forth by the pandemic, we must ensure that we do so responsibly. Audits, such as the one my office conducted in New York City, can help drive change by raising awareness of where risks lie. Understanding these risks and identifying blind spots is a first step in the right direction, but the city must also take further action, such as implementing a robust governance framework to ensure that the city's use of AI is transparent, accurate, unbiased, and minimizes the potential for disparate impacts. I encourage my colleagues in government to join me in ensuring that AI systems work to further the greater good for all New Yorkers.
It was a case that galvanized opposition against the state’s lax new bail laws: A drunk driver with a string of DWI convictions was going 137 miles per hour before plowing into another motorist, killing him, only to be released a short time later with no bail.
Jordan Randolph, 43, was driving on William Floyd Parkway in Shirley with a suspended license and three prior DWI convictions on his record when he killed Jonathan Flores-Maldonado. He was supposed to have an interlock anti-DWI device on his vehicle because of his previous convictions. A few hours before the 2020 crash, he had gotten into a fight at Jake’s 58 Casino, having been in court two days prior on a previous DWI case.
The Bellport man was sentenced to 12½ to 25 years in prison by Supreme Court Judge Richard Ambro following a February trial where he was convicted of 13 charges, including aggravated vehicular homicide.
“This drunk driver should have been in jail, not back on
the street,” said Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano, who had accompanied FloresMaldonado’s father, Victor, at various events to lobby for the repeal of the bail laws. “Ever since cashless bail was inflicted on the law-abiding citizens of New York, we’ve suffered a crime wave destroying the lives of many. This sentence comes as no condolence to Jonathan’s family and the New Yorkers who have to live with these ridiculous pro-criminal laws.”
“For my son and my family, the bail reform bill was a catastrophic failure,” said Victor Flores-Maldonado. “It is unfortunate that even after this, the legislative branch does not concentrate more on the victims instead of the criminals.” His son, 23 at the time of his death, had dreamed of becoming a doctor.
During his trial, it was revealed that after he left the casino, Randolph was spotted by police driving his Cadillac erratically down the rain-soaked William Floyd Parkway, where an officer attempted to stop him. While he was trying to evade the police, his vehicle struck the
rear of Flores-Maldonado’s Ford Escape with the force of a “missile,” prosecutors said, flipping it and forcing it over 500 feet down the highway. A report from a toxicology expert testified that Randolph’s blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit more than two hours after the crash.
“This defendant is a serial drunk driver who had no regard for anyone’s life, including his own,” said Suffolk District Attorney Raymond Tierney. “The fact that he was able to be out on the street with a pending charge for not using a court mandated ignition interlock device before driving is beyond comprehensible. The entire purpose of an ignition interlock device is to keep drunk drivers off the road.
I hope this lengthy prison sentence provides the victim’s family with some measure of justice after such a senseless and avoidable crime.”
Randolph struggled with responding officers as they tried to place him under arrest, and hurled profanities at EMT workers who were attempting to treat him, according to the district attorney. He refused to submit to a blood test, but a court order was secured by law enforcement which compelled the defendant to provide a blood sample. That sample, which was collected five hours after the crash, showed Randolph’s blood alcohol concentration was a .20% BAC – more than double the legal limit. A search warrant was also obtained for blood that the defendant provided at Long Island Community Hospital approximately two hours after the crash. The results showed Randolph’s blood alcohol concentration was .23% –almost triple the legal limit. A search of the event data recorder in Randolph’s vehicle revealed that he was traveling 137 mph seconds before crashing into the victim, who was driving 45 mph, according to Tierney.
Randolph has a lengthy criminal history that includes 12 prior criminal convictions, six of which are felonies, and multiple prior felony and misdemeanor DWI convictions, according to police records. He was convicted of felony Driving While Intoxicated in both 2016 and 2018, and misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated in 2011. Additionally, in 2003, he was sentenced to six to 12 years in prison for felony Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in or Near School Grounds. He also has prior convictions for felony assault from 1998, and attempted robbery from 1997.
“Jonathan Flores-Maldonado was the very first victim of Bail Reform,” noted Jennifer Harrison, with Victims Rights NY. “Over 305 homicide victims later nothing is getting better, only ‘progressively’ worse. I pray today’s sentence brings Jonathan’s family some sense of justice. While nothing will bring this young man with his entire life ahead of him back, we can do even better by him by repealing bail reform and making sure this does not happen to anymore families.”
A referendum on the November election ballot approving a Suffolk charter law increasing the sales tax in the county by 1/8th of a percent for “water quality improvement projects” may or may not happen after two public hearings last week. Mainly along party lines, a legislative majority of 10 voted not to close the hearings, a move which could have triggered the referendum.
It remtains to be seen whether on July 25, when the legislature next meets, there is a majority vote for closure of the hearings and then enough time to set the proposed referendum.
The sales tax jump would be predicated on a legislative declaration that Suffolk County “still relies on for disposal of wastewater more than 380,000 cesspools and systems which are not designed to actively treat wastewater” and “this has been widely recognized as a significant obstacle to sustainable economic growth.”
The objective is to deal with nitrogen pollution from cesspool use with a transition to conventional sewers and also a high-tech approach developed in recent decades called an Innovative/Alternative Septic Treatment System that can be installed at a single home or business. The raising of $4 billion over 50 years is sought.
If there is a sales tax increase, the sales tax rate in Suffolk County would
be the second highest in New York State exceeded only by that in New York City.
A companion resolution also under consideration at the hearings was the creation of one countywide sewer district to include a consolidation of the now 27 separate sewer districts.
The problem cited by Kevin McCaffrey, a Lindenhurst Republican and presiding officer of the legislature, for not closing the hearings involved what he cited as a difference between state legislation authorizing the county’s actions and what the county would like. The state legislation, he said, provided mostly for financial support of Innovative/Alternative Septic Treatment Systems rather than conventional sewage systems.
Steven Flotterson, a Bay Shore Republican and deputy presiding officer of the legislature, said: “We want to maximize sewers” and a “much larger amount needs to go for sewers.”
Democratic legislators, meanwhile, pressed to close the hearings,
As for conventional sewage systems, they are “not an answer to water quality,” testified Doug DiLillo of Huntington Station, urging the legislators to consider neighboring Nassau County, which is 85 percent sewered, and also “look to Nassau County in terms of quantity.”
DiLillo noted his having served on panels in Suffolk for a Groundwater Protection Plan and a Pine Barrens
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.

Protection Plan. In Nassau, he said, saltwater intrusion has come to the underground water table, which it shares with Suffolk, because instead of treating wastewater and recharging it back into the ground, Nassau’s many sewage treatment plants send wastewater through outfall pipes into adjacent waterways depleting the “sole source” aquifer.
Regarding having a countywide sewer district, Maryann Johnston, long president of Affiliated Brookhaven Civic Organizations, testified that she was “concerned” about that considering Suffolk County’s record with its Southwest Sewer District. This was a $1 billion undertaking in which in the 1970s the county built a sewer system in it's southwest portion, a project mired in scandal. Also, she scored the
Southwest district’s treatment plant, at Bergen Point in West Babylon, built to dump 30 million gallons of wastewater a day through an outfall pipe into the Atlantic Ocean, an amount in recent years raised to 40 million gallons. Suffolk County is now 25 percent sewered.
There were more than 40 speakers at the June 21th back-to-back hearings in Riverhead.
Representatives of construction and labor interests stressed that sewers encourage economic activity, facilitate more residents and create jobs. Matthew Aracich, president of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Nassau & Suffolk Counties, testified that sewers are important “if you want to get economic activity” and “are crucial to attract people.”
Elisa Kyle, a director for Northportbased Vision Long Island, said “sewers are critical for downtown revitalization.”
Among representatives of environmental organizations testifying, John Turner, senior conservation policy advocate for Islip-based Seatuck Environmental Association, called the initiative “incredibly significant.” He said that “the degradation of our water supply” is a critical problem and the legislators would “never cast a more important and consequential vote.”
Kevin McAllister, president of Sag Harbor-based Defend H20, said: “I think Suffolk County has constructed an excellent program. Good science has been applied.”
And Bob DeLuca, president of the Southold-based Group for the East End, said a referendum “simply places the decision in the hands of the electorate.”
Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone in his nearly 12 years in office—he departs at the end of the year because of term limits—has made sewering in Suffolk a signature goal of his administration. In 2015, Bellone, a West Babylon Democrat, appointed Peter Scully as a deputy county executive and to be the county’s “sewer czar.” Scully spoke extensively at both hearings saying the proposed program was the “culmination of a 10-year effort.”

Smithtown Central School District has become an athletic dynamo over the recent years where many League, County, and Long Island Championships will end up sitting in the trophy cases until the end of time.
This year there were no shortages in individual and team accolades for the West Siders who had some of the best athletes in New York State in some specific sports.
During the fall, Smithtown West had some impressive team and individual performances. The cross country team – that is combined with the other high school in the district – saw a great individual performance from Junior Doug Antaky. Antaky was All-League, All-Division, and was the Suffolk County Class A runner-up at the state qualifiers meet.
Under the guidance of head coach Peter Schieck, the rising senior would make it to the state meet that took place at Vernon-Verona Sherrill High School in Syracuse where he would place top-20, claiming All-State honors.
The Smithtown West Football program also continued its turnaround in 2022 as they would make a playoff appearance as they finished with a 5-4 regular season record. They saw multiple players make All-County, All-Long Island, and All-State this fall. The Bulls arguably had the best receiving duo in Suffolk County as Jack Melore and Jacque LaPraire both had monster years and were AllCounty, All-Long Island, and AllState in 2022.
LaPraire, a senior in 2022, will go on to play football at Stony Brook
this fall while Melore was 2nd Team All Long-Island. 6th all time on LI with 56 catches, 8th all time in rec yards with 976, Long Island leader in Touchdowns with 14, T-3 on Long Island with 6ints. He will enter his senior year as one of New York State’s best wide outs with multiple Division One schools already showing interest in him. Their quarterback, Brayden Stahl was also 2nd Team All-Long Island and first team All-County this fall. He was Long Island’s leader in Completions, Yards and Touchdowns. with 170 completions, 2663 passing yards, and 29 Passing Touchdowns with seven of those coming in one game. Stahl is also a rising senior with plenty of Division One schools interested in his services.
Joining the football players and Doug Antaky on the all-state performance list for the Bulls was girls soccer star Stephanie Schubert, who was also named League Player of the Year and All-County. Kira Pirrera was also named League player of the Year, All-County, and All-State in the fall for girls volleyball.
In the winter, the weather may have gotten colder but the boys basketball team was definitely bringing the heat. Led by All-State player and senior Patrick Burke for the majority of the year, the Bulls were ranked as the number one public school team in the state for a period of time in 2023. The supporting cast of Landon Schnieder, Lorenzo Rappa, Ben Rappa, and Jack Melore (who also made All-State in basketball), the Bulls looked destined to make a deep postseason run.
Unfortunately for the Bulls, Burke suffered a serious knee injury that would force him to sit out the remainder of the postseason. The Adelphi-commit’s presence was missed during the postseason as the West-Siders would ultimately lose in the Suffolk County Finals.
On the track, Smithtown West saw Douglas Antaky finish runner up in the county once again, this time finishing runner up in the 3200 meter run and qualifying for the state championships for the second straight sports season.
On the girls side of the track, Laina Friedman seemed to not miss a beat after not running a single race since the previous spring season. Not only did she qualify for the state meet in two events, she finished runner up in the 1000 meter run and received All-State honors in the 600 meter run, shattering her previous school records in the process.
In the springtime, Smithtown West saw All-County and All-State performances on the track once
again by Doug Antaky and Laina Friedman.
Antaky set a school record in the 3200 meter run by running 9:13 at the Section XI Championships, which helped him qualify for the New York State Meet. He also set a new school record in the full 2-mile run while participating at New Balance Nationals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Friedman continued her reign of dominance on the track as she qualified for the state meet yet again and she would take home All-State honors in the 800 meter run.
On the baseball diamond, the West Siders had another successful regular season and were a postseason team yet again. Football star Jacque LaPrarie teamed up with Chris Chase and Brady Austin to make the All-County team and guide the Bulls to another successful baseball season.
Smithtown is also a school that takes immense pride in its lacrosse program, and the boys and girls
teams made Smithtown West proud in 2023.
On the boys side, they had a total of two All-County selections, one All-County honorable mention, two All-Division selections, and the Rookie of the Year award winner. Dylan Bonasera and Necco Cottage both made the All County team while John Savino was an honorable mention. Will Fitzsimmons and Carmelo Pace were All Division selections and Luke Brown took home Rookie of the Year honors.
The Boys team unfortunately fell short of winning the county title and they watched their intown rivals Smithtown East play in the game, but it was still a very successful year filled with dramatic wins and outstanding individual performances.
The girls team, which was loaded with D1 commits and All-State level players, had an outstanding run to the 2023 Suffolk County Championship game that took place at Stony Brook University. Unfortunately, they would lose a heartbreaker to West Islip in the finals and their chances at a Long Island Championship were foiled one game short.
Despite some close calls, it was yet another successful season for Smithtown West and their athletics department who was led by first year Athletic Director Jason Lambert.
Lambert succeeded Pat Smith as the Athletic Director in the summer of 2022 and he has done a great job as he helped transform both Smithtown Schools – East and West – from an island-wide powerhouse into a statewide powerhouse.
July 1st is an important day for Major League Baseball. All teams that have deferred money on any player's contracts must pay their annual deferment rates to those parties.
The day has gained some notoriety throughout the sport as it has become known as “Bobby Bonilla Day” due to the insane terms within the contract Bonilla had when the Mets released him in 1999.
For those who are unaware, the Mets released Bonilla following a poor 1999 season. but still owed him $5.9 million on a contract he signed with the Marlins before being traded to the Dodgers and later the Mets.
Upon his release, Bonilla and his agent offered the Mets a deal: Bonilla would defer payment for a decade, and the Mets would pay him an annual paycheck of $1.19 million – which is about 8 percent interest on return – starting in 2011 and ending in 2035, adding up to a total payout of $29.8 million. Bonilla also receives $500,000 every year
through 2028 in another deferred contract he had with the Baltimore Orioles in 1996.
Mets owner Fred Wilpon regretfully accepted the deal mostly because he was heavily invested with Ponzi schemeoperator Bernie Madoff, and the 10 percent returns he thought he was getting on his investments with Madoff outweighed the eight percent interest the Mets would be paying on Bonilla's initial $5.9 million. As a result, the payout was a subject of inquiry during the Madoff investment scandal investigation when it came to light in 2008.
Many players have since been using this as a tactic for negotiating buyouts from their contracts and some teams will even do it as a way to get certain players off their roster.
Bonilla’s is more notable because of the shadiness of Bernie Madoff being involved.
However, there is at least one player who’s deferred contract may be even worse than Bonilla’s. That is first ballot Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr and his contract with the
Cincinnati Reds.
In 2000, Griffey requested a trade from the Seattle Mariners as he desired to be closer to his family and his native Ohio. The Mariners obliged with the then 30 year olds demands and shipped him off to the Reds for a haul of prospects that included Mike Cameron and Brett Tomko.
Once he arrived in Cincinnati, Griffey Jr. signed a nine-year, $112.5 million deal with Cincinnati. The marriage would abruptly end in 2008 when the declining Griffey was traded to the Chicago White Sox. Instead of paying “The Kid” outright throughout his contract, the Reds decided to have about half the money deferred, meaning he agreed to collect approximately $3.6 million per year from 2009 through 2024.
The Reds will pay Griffey $3.6 million for the second-to-last time this Saturday as he will have collected the remaining $54 million that is owed to him by Cincinnati.
If you were to compare the two deals side by side, Griffey is making
more deferred money over a shorter period of time compared to Bonilla.
Griffey’s $54 million over 15 years is significantly more money than Bonilla’s $29.8 million over 24 years.
When it comes to the net present value of free cash flow– which is used to help determine how much an investment, project, or any series of cash flows is worth – Griffey carries an NPV of FCFs at 32.818 with a discount rate of 7.5 percent.
That number dwarfs the NPV of FCFs that Bonilla’s contract holds at 13.652 with a discount rate of 7.5
percent. By these standards, this makes the Griffey deal more of an albatross on the smaller market Cincinnati Reds than the bigger market team in the Mets.
If there wasn’t a Ponzi scheme behind the Bobby Bonilla buyout, July 1st might be known as Ken Griffey Jr. day instead of being called Bobby Bonilla day. Both contracts are going to hurt both teams in the long term and other franchises should view these contracts as a cautionary tale of the negatives of deferred money deals.
About a month after admitting to gambling on NFL games, Isaiah Rodgers of the Indianapolis Colts has been placed on indefinite suspension for his actions.
The 25 year olds' suspension was announced on Thursday after the league began investigating the situation last month. He had previously acknowledged his situation on social media, saying he takes "full responsibility" for his actions.
Rodgers wasn’t the only player that the league has announced suspensions for on Thursday, his Colts teammate Rashod Berry and free agent Demetrious Taylor received indefinite bans from the league as well. In addition, Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was suspended six games for betting on other sports at the workplace.
As a result of the indefinite bans, the Colts officially released Berry and Rodgers
almost immediately after the league went public with their findings.
"The integrity of the game is of the utmost importance," general manager Chris Ballard said in a statement. "As an organization we will continue to educate our players, coaches, and staff on the policies in place and the significant consequences that may occur with violations."
According to a report made by ESPN's David Purdum on Thursday, Rodgers had placed upward of 100 bets, including at least one wager on a game involving the Colts. His own friends encouraged him to place many of the wagers, the majority of which were in the $25-$50 range.
The largest wager placed through the account run by Rodgers and his colleagues was a $1,000 prop bet on the over/under on rushing yards by a Colts running back, which would end up being a winning pick.
Rodgers’, Berry’s, Taylor’s and Petit-Frere’s recent suspensions makes the NFL’s total list of players busted this
offseason for gambling on the NFL and/or other sports while in team facilities – which is against league rules – up to
nine total players. With this issue the NFL had to send out their gambling rules to teams and players once more.
The six "key rules" of the gambling policy the league officials will emphasize are “Don't bet on the NFL, don't gamble at your team facility, while traveling for a road game or staying at a team hotel, don't have someone bet for you, don't share team "inside information." Don't enter a sportsbook during the NFL playing season, and don't play daily fantasy football.”
Since 2018, eleven players, at least one assistant coach and an undisclosed number of league personnel have been suspended for violating the NFL gambling policy. Since the Supreme Court struck down a federal statute that had restricted regulated betting to primarily Nevada, 34 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have launched legal betting markets.
The New York Knicks have been an organization that has had a hard time finding an identity for years and they are trying to plug holes this off season. As Knicks fans often do, they are looking for a superstar to come and rescue this franchise, but many in the front office believe that smaller additions are the way to a championship. So, which way will New York lean this offseason?
As free agency approaches all eyes are on New York and what they will do. The Knicks have been linked to big name stars like Paul George, Karl Anthony Towns, and Pascal Siakam. In fact, they have even had their team mentioned in a possible landing spot for Zion Williamson, if he were to become available. As always New York is a destination where so many rumors fly, but ultimately fall flat. We heard
endlessly that the Knicks savior would be LeBron James, before he decided, twice, that wasn't to be the case. New York passed on a big trade for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert recently, and nothing suggests this team will change their approach and make that big push this season.
So, Knicks fans should look to smaller moves, which might be the smarter course. New York has a very good young core, plus 11 first round picks in the next 7 years. That is a team building the right way. Unless you see that as trade bait. New Yorkers should brace themselves for additions that won't cause a national stir, but rather plug holes they have. They need shooters and that's what they will target. New York was abysml in the playoffs shooting just 29% from deep and that area can be filled with solid pieces, not superstars.
Donte DiVincenzo fits the mold
BY CHUCK T. Fantasy Sports
Michael Kopech is giving me a supreme test of my patience in this latest week of the baseball season. Kopech is the sometimes erratic starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox who shows occasional glimpses of genius and impeccable control. He can occasionally throws a 7 inning gem wherein he will strike out 10 guys and walk 1 while surrendering only 2 hits. And occasionally he will allow 7 walks with only 3 strikeouts in 4 innings pitched with 4 hits allowed and only 2 earned runs. This won’t kill your team ERA to put in a 4.50 ERA but the 7 walks will crater your WHIP and in a week he was lined up to pitch Tuesday and Sunday it is demoralizing for those of us who like to stack 2-start pitchers.
The concept of stacking 2-start pitchers has been around for a while and I must confess that I do look to practice it myself. It is empowering to give ourselves the perception that we are actually managing the collection of talent that we have at our disposal. And herein lies a valuable lesson in roster construction. My ESPN Dynasty League is set for 30 active players. Our rules call for 16 offensive players, 8 pitchers
(starters and relievers), and 6 bench players. And what you do with those 6 bench slots I like to think separates the men from the boys. Since we are a dynasty league we allow for a 5-player supplemental minor league roster. We allow every team to protect 20 of their 30 active players and all 5 members of the supplemental minor league roster. The 6 bench players are either a tool to win games in 2023 or a reservoir of young talent to plan future
as a very good outside shooter, and this management seems to love ex Villanova players. Seth Curry, Bruce Brown and Joe Inglesare 3 other names that have been linked to the Knicks
as the shooters they need. All are good fits on a young developing team.
Knicks fans shouldn't get their hopes up like in years past only to be let down. LeBron
never walked through the door, neither did Mitchell, or Giannis, so don't expect that now. Expect New York to get a good quality shooter, or two, and keep your eyes focused on the future.
for pitchers with good ERA’s and WHIP’s an opportunity to nail down two ratio innings. All of this seems perfectly reasonable and logical. And yet I am going to tell you, it is one of the hardest things to do in fantasy baseball. Look at Michael Kopech’s 7 walks from Tuesday night. And it comes back to the title of this article. Are you Maverick or are you Iceman?
those 3 strikeouts above 10 that are your opportunity to be the IceMan. After 25 weeks of playing this way, you will come out ahead with more strikeouts. To me. It is one of the easiest counting categories to walk away with. But you need patience and some internal fortitude. Nothing worth winning ever comes easy.
improvement with.
For me, the 6 bench players is an opportunity to win games in the current season ONLY. If I stack my roster with young players with promise, I risk exposing some of them in the next spring’s draft. I would rather find 4-6 extra starting pitchers and look to stack them in those weeks where they are lined up to pitch twice. Why do this? More strikeouts, two shots to get a quality start. 2 opportunities to notch a win. And
The 1986 movie “Top Gun” profiled (2) F-14 pilots with vastly different styles. The flamboyant, risk taking, dangerous “Maverick” and the cold, calculating, take no chances “IceMan” who waits for you to make a mistake because of his patience and icy cold demeanor and fortitude. Fantasy baseball can give you an addictive rush when your Maverick hunches pay off, but the game demands you display IceMan patience. It takes guts to throw Michael Kopech out there when there is a chance he will walk 7 batters. But there is also the opportunity he will throw 10 strikeouts and thus compile 13 strikeouts for the week. The chances of him getting 13 strikeouts in any single start are low, but his chances of netting 13 strikeouts in any two performances are much better. It’s
There has been a revolving door of starting pitchers shuttling back and forth between the majors and Triple AAA. If you have held any Tampa Bay Devil Rays you are familiar with this. Logan Allen of the White Sox found himself demoted this week. This move took some players by surprise as Allen had compiled a 3.47 ERA, a reasonably low figure. However, Allen needed 98 pitches to get through the 3rd inning in his previous start, and hadn’t gone past the 4th inning in any of his previous 4 starts, which his 1.44 WHIP hinted at. In short, he was taxing their bullpen and so they sent him down to work on some things. Keep an eye on how long your starters are lasting at this time of year. Teams can’t burn out their bullpens in July. The young starters for the Dodgers should also be monitored closely.
Being single does not mean that your estate planning is any simpler than if you were married. In fact, singles usually have more complicated estates if they do not have close natural heirs, such as a spouse or child. Moreover, it is even more important to have Advance Directives in place to plan for incapacity. A complete estate plan includes not only a Last Will and Testament, but a health care proxy, power of attorney, and living will.
A health care proxy allows a person to appoint an individual to make medical decisions for them if deemed incapacitated by a physician. For married couples, the spouse is often the first choice to serve in this role. But, for a single person the choice may not be as obvious and signing a Health Care Proxy makes it clear
who will be in charge of those decisions. A Living Will is a statement of one’s wishes about end-of-life decisions. Taking the time to think about this in advance and put it on paper helps make certain your directions are followed if the situation arises.
Beyond decisions about health care, empowering someone to make financial decisions is also a vital part of an estate plan. Most single individuals hold their assets in their sole names, not jointly with anyone else. For this reason, naming an agent under a power of attorney is crucial to ensuring your needs are met if you become unable to manage your financial affairs. Giving someone the power to act on your behalf should not be taken lightly. Carefully consider who you appoint as your agent and the specific powers granted.
We wrote recently about the increasingly more dangerous season ahead. In addition to the forecast update, it was largely about what you and your family should do (like never stay on the boat nor drive through running water.) What about the boat? Tis the season of heavy weather. This column is about that.
Never stay on the boat. I know. There are old timers that swear by it. “I’ve saved my boat every time when others were lost.” With absolute certainty, it is simply because the winds – and seas – never exceeded the operational capacity of the engines. But when they do, you will be lost with the boat. The boat is just money. You are someone. If you care about the people who care about you, read on – and leave the boat behind while you take your loved ones to high ground.
If you can’t get the boat out of the water and on to “the hard”, then you are compelled to protect her in her natural element – the water. But the sea presents forces magnified beyond the speed of the wind – it is the momentum of the wind-driven seas and the tidal surge. The storm tide is added to the astronomical tides. And when those waves hit something solid, they generate force dozens of times more powerful than
A complete estate plan addresses death as well. A Last Will and Testament dictates who will handle the deceased's assets and how those assets are distributed. It is crucial to understand which assets pass through a Will and which outside of a Will. The assets that pass through a Will are those in one’s sole name with no designated beneficiary. Such assets can include bank accounts, brokerage accounts, and real estate. Usually retirement accounts and life insurance policies have designated beneficiaries. Accounts with designated beneficiaries pass outside of the Will directly to the beneficiaries. Since a single person often holds assets in their sole name, at least some of their assets pass through their Wills. As a single senior, you might consider establishing a revocable
trust rather than a simple Will. You maintain complete control during your lifetime and appoint a successor in case of incapacity or death. A trust has the advantage of avoiding probate so assets pass almost immediately to chosen beneficiaries. Avoiding probate is important where there is a need for seamless transition or family make up would complicate probate.
Every Will must go through probate, meaning a Surrogate Court judge validating the Will. Any time a Will goes through probate, the deceased's closest blood relatives must sign a waiver. This is an issue if you are not leaving assets to close family members or when don't know the whereabouts of your closest blood relatives. A single person may have a great support group consisting of dear friends instead of family. It could be
burdensome to find first cousins or have to rely on them not to contest a Will. A trust is much easier to administer than the complexities of Surrogate's Court and avoids having to locate long lost relatives.
Unmarried individuals need an estate plan as much, if not more, than their married counterparts. Seeking the advice of an estate planning attorney ensures your affairs are in order during your lifetime and at your death.

wind of the same speed. Sandy generated a storm surge of 14 feet. Andrew generated a storm tide of 17 feet. Camille in 1969? 24 feet. Dorian made the Bahamas look like Hiroshima…
While nothing will save the boat from that, the vast majority of stormdriven tidal surges are significant but really fractions of that. So, with a “spider web of lines”, you can create a fighting chance that your beauty will ride out the storm.
What is common to all these configurations is lots of lines and long expanses of them. In two of them, you can also see that multiple anchors are used as well. The longer lines are there to address the tidal surge. The additional lines are there for back-up. Losing one line to stress doesn’t completely undo everything you’ve done.
Without doubt, you will need chafe guards of some kind since the storm will put extreme stresses on the lines where they are wrapped around the cleats and chocks. Your ground tackle too will need additional chafe protection. Think of the storm as putting a summer’s worth of stress on your lines – for every hour of ‘blow.’ If you go through a set of lines every two summers, they will never withstand a half-day of a serious ‘blow.’ And that is assuming that they
are new.
What to use? The universal winner-take-all is old garden hose. Lay the line through a length of hose and lay that through the chock or along the toe rail where your line crosses the gunwale on its way to a cleat on the dock. In a pinch, duct tape (a TON of it) works really well. And it is more pliable than garden hose. For the aficionados, they will hate it because it looks like hell – but it works. BTW, while you can (now!), be sure that the cleats on the boat and on the dock are through-bolted with a backing plate. If not, they will become high-speed guided missiles
as they fly out of their bedding under strain. And the boat will be free… No garden hose? Improvise. Leather straps. Rags. Anything helps, just some things help more than others.
Do whatever you can to lower the boat’s profile to the wind. Take down the bimini cover and lash it. If you can’t, open the windows. Take down the antennas. Even that little bit of additional windage can tip the balance. A sailboat? I know I don’t need to say that you must stow all the sails, even the furled ones, below or ashore. If the boat has dorades or cowls, seal them. Wind – or wind-
driven water – getting below at high speed can’t be good. Duct tape… And take in all the electronics and seal the boat’s electrical leads with tape.
Fenders and Fender Boards
Yes. As many as possible, put them out. I always suggest that they be secured to the boat, rather than the dock. If the boat does break free, at least she is taking some of her protection with her.
Make a check list – now. If you need one, email me below and I will send you one. Do you want a copy of the BoatUS guide for boat and marina owners? Email me below and I’ll send that too. And remember these words:
“The time for taking all measures for a ship’s safety is while still able to do so. Nothing is more dangerous than for a seaman to be grudging in taking precautions lest they turn out to have been unnecessary. Safety at sea fora thousand years has depended on exactly the opposite philosophy.”

The story of the enigmatic Archangel Raphael is told in the apocryphal Book of Tobit. Tobit was always a pious and righteous man. He was charitable and noted for feeding the hungry with gala festivals, clothing the naked, and burying the dead. He and his family were seized and deported by the Assyrians from somewhere in Galilee to Nineveh.
One hot summer night Tobit slept outdoors at the foot of a wall. Sparrows defecated into his eyes and caused him instantaneous blindness which the finest doctors of the area could not cure. In despair he prayed that God should take him.
At the same time in the distant town of Medina a young girl named Sarah had been married seven times but had never consummated her marriages. One of Satan’s most powerful demons, Asmodeous, stalked her and on each of her wedding nights killed her groom. In a deep despair she too prayed for death. Merciful God heard them and summoned Raphael to visit
earth to help.
Expecting to soon die, the blinded old Tobit sends his son Tobias to Medina to collect an old debt. The money would be an inheritance for Tobias. Travel in those days was treacherous with muggers, wild animals, and unfamiliar terrain so Tobias hires a guide named Azariah who is experienced and familiar with the region. Azariah is actually Raphael in disguise.
On the way to Medina, the duo camp on the banks of the Tigris River. A large fish jumps from the water and attacks Tobias. After the fish is subdued Azariah tells Tobias to split it open, and remove the gall, heart, and liver to be used as medicine. He instructs Tobias to salt the rest of it to be used as rations for their journey.
They arrive in Medina at the home of Sarah’s parents who are very hospitable to them, as is the Jewish custom. Tobias and Sarah meet and fall in love. Tobias wants to propose marriage to her but is aware of her history with bridegrooms on

her wedding nights and doesn’t want to be deceased husband number 8. Already Asmodeus is hovering above the scene.
At the urging of Azariah, aka Raphael, Tobias marries Sarah. On the wedding night, Raphael instructs Tobias to burn the fish heart and liver as incense. The
resulting foul odor drives the demon from the scene. After a long fight, Raphael subdues, captures. and binds Asmodeous.
Tobias returns to Nineveh with his bride Sarah. Following Raphael’s directions, he rubs the oil from the fish gall onto Tobit’s eyelids. With Tobit cured of his blindness, the stage is set for a gala wedding feast. The newlyweds offer Raphael, whom they still think is Azariah, half of the inheritance. Raphael declines and slips away during the festival. Tobit asks for Azariah. He is disappointed because he didn’t get a chance to thank the mysterious guide.
Returning home to God Raphael chants, “High Hosanna, Awayyyy!!!!” The music ministry led by Gabriel fills the heavens with the magnificent angelic music of the William Tell Overture.

COUNTY OF SUFFOLK PROCLAMATION 2023-08
PROCLAMATION OF A LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY
UNDER SECTION 24 OF ARTICLE 2-B OF THE EXECUTIVE LAW
A State of Emergency is hereby proclaimed in Suffolk County, New York for a period of time beginning at 5:00 p.m. on June 25, 2023 and continuing in effect for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days as required by Section 24 of the New York State Executive Law.
This State of Emergency has been declared as a result of the expiration on May 11, 2023 of 42 U.S.C. secs. 362 and 365 (the “Title 42 Order”), which prohibited the migration into the United States by “covered noncitizens” traveling from Canada or Mexico, resulting in a surge of migration into the United States and into New York State. As a consequence of such, some states have dispersed and delivered asylum seekers to various states throughout the country and, subsequently some municipalities have dispersed and delivered asylum seekers to various counties within New York State. Accordingly, the anticipated uncoordinated moving of people into the County of Suffolk will result in a severe housing crisis as a result of the limited number of temporary and permanent housing available in the County.
As the Executive of Suffolk County, I, Steven Bellone exercise the authority given me under Section 24 of the New York State Executive Law, to preserve the public safety and hereby render all required and available assistance vital to the wellbeing and health of Suffolk County.
I hereby direct all departments and agencies of Suffolk County to take
whatever steps necessary to provide emergency assistance as deemed appropriate.

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 and June 25, 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.

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 and June 25, 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.
