Voters Alert... Primary Day, Tuesday September 12th, 2017 Attention Brookhaven Town Voters, Tuesday September 12, 2017 is primary day in Suffolk County and the Town of Brookhaven. Republicans County wide have a chance to select the candidate they wish to represent their party in the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Election. State Senator Philip Boyle has been selected by the Republican Party but is facing a primary from Republican Larry Zacarese, a Police, Fire, EMS and Emergency Management specialist. In the Suffolk County District Attorney’s race, Republican Ray Perini is facing a primary for the Reform Party line. For other local primaries, voters are urged to contact the Board of Elections at 631-852-4500.

So, if you’re driving down Main Street in Center Moriches and you were wondering who places and takes care of those beautiful flowers and plants, then you need to say thank you to the members and volunteers of the Moriches Chamber’s Beautification Committee. The group is made up of local business leaders, families and students, all of whom are volunteers. Some of the volunteers include: Laura, Paul, Gianna Racioppi, Loriann, Riley Patanjo, Jeannine, Billy Barr, Alex, Julian, Olivia, Ben Dench, Annette, Rudy Rank, Laura Lewis, Tom, Colleen Hogan. One group who puts in hundreds of hours each year planting, maintaining and watering the flowers and plants. Thanks to grants and some very generous business

owners, the committee has been able to provide all of the materials for free. However, funding is starting to dry up and the committee is looking for help from local families and businesses. “If every familiy who lives in Center Moriches joined our efforts or donated $10.00, we would have more than enough funding to keep things going and even look to expand our efforts,” said Mark Danowski, owner of Allstate Insurance and the Chairman of the Beautification Committee.
