Suffolk County Executive-Elect Edward Romaine
By Robert Chartuk With his election in the rearview mirror, County Executive-Elect Edward Romaine is making moves to set up his administration and advance the issues that swept him into office. He's made key appointments to his transition team and has set up a website where applicants can present their credentials for the hundreds of positions Suffolk's new top official can fill. "We're looking for candidates with experience and competence to staff a team that will have a lot of work to do," Romaine said in announcing the site, www. servesuffolk.com. He stressed that his appointees could already be working for the county or come from the private sector or other government offices. "We're taking a bi-partisan approach," Romaine said. "Candidates must want to do the right thing for our county." Romaine has made key appointments to his Transition Team: Serving as co-chairs will be Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter, who won re-election on the same ballot as Romaine, and Kevin Law, a long-time government operative who served as president of the Long Island Association. Michael Martino, an aide in the Suffolk Legislature, will serve as the transition spokesman, and Melissa Schlossberg will be a coordinator. "We have brought together leaders from government, labor, community organizations,

not-for-profit groups, and the communication industry to assess the county's operations and provide suggestions on how to move Suffolk County forward," said Romaine. "With Angie and Kevin leading the efforts, I am confident that the transition team will provide my administration an invaluable insight into how we can begin building a safer and more affordable Suffolk County." A top priority of the team will be vetting a new police commissioner and leaders for the county department of parks and public works, positions that have already been vacated by appointees of Steve Bellone, Romaine's Hauppauge predecessor. The county executive will also have the ability to name deputy commissioners and attorneys, as well as fill a few hundred non-civil service positions in a government that provides a myriad of services to a population of more than 1.5 million people.
Emphasizing the crime-fighting plank of his platform, Romaine attended a press conference Friday with state and law enforcement officials at Suffolk PBA headquarters in Brentwood to speak out against the "Clean Slate" bill recently signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul. "The act is contrary to what most of our law-abiding citizens and law enforcement officers want," he said. "Crime is on the rise on Long Island, and we cannot allow it to continue the way it's going. The criminals are getting a free ride, and that is wrong on every level. There needs to be
consequences for their actions." Romaine said he has met with Long Island Rail Road President Robert Free to discuss the electrification of Suffolk's three diesel rail lines and the relocation of stations that could be made possible using funds available under the $1 trillion federal infrastructure program. According to Romaine, commuters, as well as the regional economy, would benefit from creating a new station in East Yaphank that would be accessible to Brookhaven National Laboratory to relieve traffic and give MasticShirley residents a better option to travel into New York City. He also proposed moving the Port Jefferson Station to the former Lawrence Aviation property to provide a modern facility with more parking and free up congestion on Route 112. Under the headline, "A Safer, More Affordable Suffolk Plan," Romaine's
Serve Suffolk website highlights his new administration's priorities, including: "Safer Communities For Our Families, Lower Taxes For You, Smart Immigration, Reforming Child Protective Services, CyberSecurity, and Streamline The Bureaucracy of Government." The County Executive-Elect said he will emphasize a working relationship between his team and the Suffolk Legislature, as well as the county's Albany delegation. His election gained national attention by turning Long Island red in a blue state dominated by Democrats. In the last few elections, Republicans took over all countywide positions in both Nassau and Suffolk– county executive, district attorney, sheriff, comptroller, and clerk–and Romaine said he looks forward to working with his counterpart, Bruce Blakeman, on issues requiring a regional approach such as transportation, waste management, and crime.
Losquadro and Bonner Announce Completion of $2.2-Million Miller Place Paving Project Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and Councilwoman Jane Bonner have announced the completion of a nine-road paving project in Miller Place.
Romaine, who currently serves as Brookhaven Town Supervisor, has also prioritized a top-to-bottom review of the Department of Social Services in the wake of the tragic death of Thomas Valva, who sat next to Romaine's grandson in class. "Such a failure of government can never happen again," he said. "Fixing our social services system is of paramount importance to my administration."
Prior to paving, crews inspected and installed drains; repaired and replaced damaged concrete curbing, sidewalk and aprons; and installed ADA-compliant handicap ramps at a cost of approximately $81,000. The nine roadways that were resurfaced include: Helme Avenue, Helme Avenue Extension, Islander Court, Jessica Lane, Memorial Drive, Miller Place Road, Miller Place-Middle Island Road, Miller Place-Yaphank Road, and Mt. Sinai-Coram Road. The total cost for this paving project was approximately $2.2 million.
Romaine said he is also setting up a special committee to help revitalize Suffolk's downtown
“This paving project included some very heavily-populated roadways, along with main

arteries for teachers, students and staff attending Miller Place High School,” said Superintendent Losquadro. “The sidewalks and roads within this paving project are now safer for all those who travel them.” Councilwoman Bonner said,
“These roads are some of the busiest in my council district and now they are much safer for motorists, walkers and bicycle riders. I thank Superintendent Losquadro and the Highway Department for their efforts to get it all done before it’s too cold to pave.”

American Legion Brightens Holiday with Thanksgiving Meals
By Robert Chartuk Arthur H. Clune American Legion Post 1533 was buzzing over the weekend as a distribution point for hundreds of turkeys and complete Thanksgiving meals that went out through other posts and community organizations. A crew headed by Past Commander John DiDiego and Bonnie Kojan was up early to pick up all of the ingredients from the 911 Veterans organization in Lindenhurst and set everything up in Mastic Beach. Dozens of volunteers, including Assemblyman Joe DeStefano and town Supervisor Ed Romaine, swooped in to fill bags to go out to families in need. Volunteers from the American Legion Post in Port Jefferson were on hand to bring some meals up to the North Shore, along with Suffolk AmVets, Colonial Youth, Greater Mastic Beach Chamber of Commerce, Columbia Club, and Community Counseling Too volunteers, who fanned out to brighten the Thanksgiving holiday for hundreds of families. “The annual giveaway grows in size each year and we appreciate the efforts of our veterans, residents, and local officials who step up to make sure everyone’s holiday is bright,” said Clune Post Commander Rick Rossi.

STATE
Gov. Hochul Ignores Opposition, Signs Clean Slate Bill
By Robert Chartuk Ignoring widespread opposition from law enforcement, elected officials, and residents across the state, Gov. Kathy Hochul went ahead and signed the "Clean Slate" bill, a law that automatically puts the criminal records of job seekers off limits. Her approval set off a wave of disgust and promises to keep the issue in the forefront as New York continues to suffer a crime wave thanks to the procriminal, anti-police actions of the governor and her Progressive Democrat colleagues. "Clean Slate is wrong on so many levels. Not only is the message this law sends to crime victims and their families a disgrace, I have absolutely no doubt that this will also create more crime victims," said Senator Dean Murray, who organized a rally against the bill at Suffolk PBA headquarters in Brentwood. "Private business owners won't fully know who they are hiring, and landlords won't have the whole picture about who they are allowing into their properties and in some cases, into their homes." Clean Slate was approved by the legislature earlier in the year in the face of intense opposition from Republicans, mostly from suburban areas such as Long Island. It seals the records of individuals convicted of felonies, including assault, robbery, manslaughter, and other violent crimes. It follows a cashless bail system put in place by the Democrats, which is credited, along with Defund the Police and other anti-law enforcement
measures, with a crime wave that is sweeping across New York's cities and its suburbs. "I am truly disappointed that the Governor and Legislature have once again put the interests of convicted criminals ahead of the rights of victims," said Suffolk District Attorney Raymond Tierney. "These reckless games with our public safety must stop. Automatically wiping away hate crime convictions while we are seeing an epidemic of hate speech, financial frauds in an age of online scams, weapons charges when we are seeing school shootings and drug sales when our children are dying of overdoses, without any mechanism of review to protect us, leaves us utterly exposed to violence and victimization." - Suffolk District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney "This is yet another example of the harmful pro-criminal, anti-law enforcement measures coming from the Progressive Left," said Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano, who noted that the state already has a mechanism whereby criminals can apply to have their records hidden. "This will make it harder for police to do their jobs and make everyone less safe. Clean Slate is a very bad idea,” DeStefano said. PBA President Louis Civello pointed out that a similar law is not in the books for police officers who have no protection from having their service records released. "We have gang members and other criminals filing false complaints against officers, and these remain part of their permanent records,"
State Senator Dean Murray at a rally denouncing Gov. Hochul’s signing of the Clean Slate bill.
Civello said, adding, "Clean Slate is an engraved invitation for criminals to rip off unsuspecting businesses and continues the radical left's pro-criminal antipublic safety agenda. Employers won't know if the bookkeeper they hired is a convicted fraudster, store owners won't know if the guy who responded to a help wanted sign has a history of sticking up convenience stores, and serious felonies like vehicular homicide and burglary will be sealed, and the public will be kept in the dark. Make no mistake, this wrongheaded law will only create more opportunities for criminals to commit crimes and victimize hard-working New Yorkers." Also speaking at the rally was
Suffolk County Executive-Elect Edward Romaine, who stressed that changes in how New York is governed must be made at the ballot box. "Long Island has a majority of elected officials who do not support this. We need to keep electing pro-law enforcement representatives to counteract the current balance of power in Albany." Senator Mario Mattera said Clean Slate discriminates against business owners and the public because it exempts schools and government agencies from the law. "Most of us will be kept in the dark about who we're hiring or allowing into our homes as renters, while taxpayer-funded offices have access," he said. "This
is dysfunctional government at its worst." "First, we had to accept that our loved ones were gone forever, then process that another human being intentionally and horrifically took them from us. Then, we had to accept the outcome of the court proceedings. Then, the people who did this to us would be free to live their lives and see their families. Now, we will have to accept that they get to pretend it never even happened while we still suffer the lifelong pain and consequences of their actions," said Jennifer Harrison, Founder/ Executive Director of Victims Rights NY.
Hochul's Hate Speech Crackdown: Safeguard or Spy Game? By Raheem Soto Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has unveiled a state initiative to monitor social media for hate speech following a stark 331 percent rise in antisemitic incidents in New York City. This surveillance strategy, announced in the wake of discussions with Jewish leaders and law enforcement, aims to counter online negativity and protect the significant Jewish population residing in the state. New York, which holds the distinction of housing over 20% of the nation's Jewish population, is at the epicenter of this issue. Data from Brandeis University reveals that over 60% of American Jews live in just six states, with the largest concentration in New York State. New York City alone is home to 13% of American Jews, making it a critical focus for Hochul's new security measures. The Governor's plan involves the collection of data from social media platforms, a move she believes is essential in addressing

overreach and infringement on civil liberties, particularly in light of a recent federal appeals court decision on September 8, 2023, which narrowed a lower court's order restricting the Biden administration's engagement with social media companies over controversial content.
However, the surveillance initiative has come under scrutiny. Critics point to potential
This judicial development accentuates the tension between the need for security and the
protection of individual rights, a balance Hochul's administration is now tasked with maintaining. The Governor's approach has raised questions about the impact of such surveillance on privacy and free speech, especially given the significant Jewish demographic it seeks to protect.
civil rights advocates.
New York's Jewish community, mainly concentrated in urban areas such as New York City and its suburban regions, as well as in other large metropolitan areas like Southern Florida and Los Angeles, is particularly vulnerable to the spread of online hate speech and antisemitism. Hochul's surveillance plan, therefore, is not just a local issue but one that reflects a broader national concern.
Governor Hochul's policies, especially regarding social media surveillance, are set to be a subject of ongoing discourse, particularly among those concerned about the implications for privacy and free speech. As the state with the largest Jewish population in the country, the outcomes of Hochul's initiative may set a precedent for how hate speech is addressed on a national level.
The Governor's support for Israel and her proactive measures to safeguard Jewish institutions, including synagogues and schools, underscores her commitment to combating antisemitism. Nevertheless, the methods to achieve this security have sparked debate among New Yorkers and
As the debate continues, the Commonwealth Fund's findings support the pressing need for a safe environment for all New Yorkers. The Jewish community's security is of paramount concern in a state that prides itself on diversity and tolerance.
The challenge remains to effectively combat hate speech and antisemitism while preserving the civil liberties that are foundational to New York's diverse society. As the state moves forward with this plan, its execution and impact will be closely observed by supporters and critics alike.

Insurance Ills: Americans Skip Care as Healthcare Costs Skyrocket!
By Raheem Soto A recent study by the Commonwealth Fund, a prominent health policy research organization, has brought to light a critical issue affecting Americans nationwide: the Affordable Care Act (ACA), despite its intentions, may be contributing to rising healthcare costs that are causing individuals to forgo necessary treatments. The 2023 Health Care Affordability Survey presents a sobering view of the current state of health care in the U.S. The findings indicate that nearly 30% of employer-sponsored health plans and over a third of those with marketplace or individualmarket plans have had to delay or skip essential medical treatments and medications in the past year due to prohibitive costs. The situation is equally grim for Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries, with about 40% facing similar challenges. The study draws attention to the 129% increase in average insurance premiums from 2013 to 2019, a period that aligns with the implementation of the ACA. The report suggests that while
the ACA's pricing regulations were designed to protect consumers, they may have diminished competition among insurers, subsequently inflating premiums. With healthcare costs accounting for more than 10% of the monthly budget for 57% of working-age adults, the financial strain is considerable. The implications of this strain are financial and medical, as over half of those who postponed
care because of costs reported that their health conditions deteriorated as a result. The Commonwealth Fund's findings challenge the effectiveness of the ACA in providing affordable health care and raise concerns about whether insurance coverage under the law equates to accessible or affordable medical services. The survey's data spans a broad demographic, including individuals with employer
coverage, marketplace plans, Medicaid, and Medicare. The report also notes that the rising healthcare costs have broader economic implications, influencing the job market. Some businesses have been reported to reduce employee hours to circumvent the ACA's insurance mandate for full-time staff, thus adding to the uncertainty in the labor force. As national discussions on healthcare reform
continue, the findings from the Commonwealth Fund underscore the urgency for policymakers to address the climbing costs impacting Americans from all walks of life. The need for reforms that ensure affordable and accessible health care is increasingly apparent. These national trends significantly impact Suffolk County residents, where living expenses can be burdensome. The high cost of living exacerbates the challenges families and individuals face when affording health care. In a county where the economic disparity is evident, the survey's results resonate deeply, underscoring that healthcare affordability remains out of reach for many. As the healthcare debate unfolds, Suffolk County, mirroring the national scene, looks towards legislative changes that could ameliorate the financial hardships caused by rising healthcare costs and secure the health and wellbeing of its residents. The Commonwealth Fund's report is expected to be critical in shaping the conversation and guiding future healthcare policies.
Pugilistic Politics: Sanders Intervenes in Mullin's Near-Fisticuffs in Senate Hearing! By Raheem Soto A Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing was nearly derailed last week when a disagreement between Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and Teamsters President Sean O'Brien escalated towards a confrontation. Committee Chair Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) intervened, preventing the situation from becoming physical. The dispute began when Mullin, a former MMA fighter, reacted strongly to a tweet by O'Brien that cast aspersions on Mullin's claim to being a selfmade entrepreneur. "Greedy CEO who pretends like he's selfmade. Sir, I wish you were in the truck with me when I was building my plumbing company myself. Quit the tough guy act and these Senate hearings, you know where to find me. Any place, anytime, cowboy," read the tweet, which became the focal point of the clash. Mullin confronted O'Brien during the hearing, challenging him to "Stand your butt up then," an invitation to settle their dispute then and there. Sanders
quickly stepped in, commanding decorum and reminding Mullin of the conduct expected of a U.S. senator. Reflecting on the incident, Mullin criticized Sanders for bringing O'Brien to the hearing and drew historical parallels to President Andrew Jackson's propensity for duels and physical altercations. "Keep in mind too, this isn't anything new. [President] Andrew Jackson challenged two people or nine people to a duel when he was president and he also knocked one guy out at a White House dinner," Mullin remarked, attempting to put the recent tension in perspective. The heated exchange highlighted the broader and ongoing debate regarding labor issues the committee was addressing. The discussions focused on the changing landscape of labor union membership, its impact on wages, and worker rights. Mullin underscored his viewpoint on the decline of union membership and its implications for workers, particularly in Right to Work states like his home state of
Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I- VT)
Oklahoma, where he claims salaries are higher than in unionized states. The incident comes amidst a particularly intense partisan and ideological division, especially on issues like labor and employment. Mullin's assertion that union membership has dropped from 33% of the labor force to 10% today was part of his broader argument that labor unions are not necessarily benefiting
workers in the current economy. This confrontation has raised questions about whether such displays of temper indicate the current climate on Capitol Hill. While the committee hearing continued without further incident, the altercation has sparked discussions on the state of political discourse and the role of personal conduct in public service.
As the committee resumes its work, the nation watches how future discussions on labor and other contentious issues will be managed. The hope remains that despite deep divisions, Congressional members will maintain a standard of professionalism, engaging in robust debates that foster progress while upholding the dignity of the political process.

Rep. George Santos's Reelection Bid Scrapped Amid Ethics Scandal
By Raheem Soto Rep. George Santos of New York announced he will not seek reelection following a damning report from the House Ethics Committee. The committee's investigation uncovered evidence that the Republican lawmaker misappropriated campaign funds for personal benefit, including Botox treatments, luxury items, and travel with his husband. The 56-page report, resulting from a rigorous nine-month probe, portrays Santos as a congressman who leveraged his political campaign for financial gain, including deceiving donors about the nature of their contributions. "He blatantly stole from his campaign," the report stated, accusing him of creating a "fictional" financial narrative to cover his tracks.
resolution against him, Santos' case underscores the importance of ethical behavior in public office and the role of oversight bodies like the Ethics Committee in holding elected officials accountable. The committee's exhaustive investigation and the subsequent report have set the stage for what could be a defining moment for Congress in addressing ethical violations.
In light of these allegations, which suggest a violation of federal criminal law, House Ethics Chairman Michael Guest, a Mississippi Republican, has introduced a resolution to expel Santos from Congress. The move reflects bipartisan disapproval and the possibility of Santos facing severe repercussions for his actions. Responding to the Ethics Committee's findings, Santos took to social media to confirm his decision not to run for a second term. He expressed the toll the scrutiny has taken on his family, stating, "My family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time." He criticized the report as "biased" and condemned it as a politically motivated attack, undermining the investigation's credibility.
Rep. George Santos ( NY-3) Santos' announcement came shortly after the Ethics Committee's disclosure, signaling a rapid unraveling of his political future. His departure from the reelection
race marks a notable shift for the lawmaker, who has been at the center of various controversies since taking office. As the House contemplates the
The developments regarding Santos have captured the attention of the political community and the public, raising questions about the integrity of campaign finance and the consequences of such transgressions. With the resolution for his expulsion pending, Santos' tenure in Congress remains controversial as he concludes his term without seeking reelection.
U.S. Credit Rating Downgraded to Negative By Robert Chartuk In yet another sign that Bidenomics is pushing Americans off a fiscal cliff, the rating firm Moody's downgraded the nation's credit worthiness to "Negative," a move that will slam Americans already suffering from hyperinflation, usurious interest rates, and a $33.7 trillion national debt that is sucking the wealth out of the U.S. economy. "In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues, Moody's expects that the U.S.'s fiscal deficits will remain very large, significantly weakening debt affordability," the company said. Economist EJ Antoni, with the Heritage Foundation, put the nation's financial predicament in harsher terms: "The idea that the economy is doing well is laughable. Inflation has become embedded and is running about twice the Federal Reserve's 2% target, as well as two and a half times the rate it was when President Joe Biden took office," he said in describing the impact of Bidenomics, the belief that Washington can continue to print and borrow money to fund its monstrous spending sprees. "Last year, inflation reached 40-year highs as prices throughout the economy set record after record," Antoni noted. A glance at the nation's Debt Clock puts the problem in graphic perspective as the amount of debt heaped upon the U.S. taxpayer flashes by at blinding speed. According to the Department of the Treasury, the debt increases by about $36 billion per day, standing at $33,740,758,940,298 last week. According to the numbers, the inability of the country's elected
leaders to come to grips with their spending problem increases the national debt by an astounding $421,384 per second. This means that every American taxpayer has been put in hock to the tune of $259,103 by their own government. To view the debt burden in real-time, go to www. usdebtclock.org. "Moody's downgrade was entirely predictable considering the nation's fiscal condition and budgetary mismanagement," said Stephen Ellis, president of the watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense. "When you're paying nearly $660 billion a year to service $33.7 trillion in debt, lurching from budgetary crisis to budgetary crisis is policymaker malpractice." According to Antoni, U.S. officials can address the debt problem either by skipping out on payments to China and other countries and entities, including the American Public, who loaned money, or by the Federal Reserve buying back the IOUs by printing trillions of dollars, the textbook cause of inflation that puts the debt on the American citizenry. Either solution, in the absence of massive spending cuts, would spell disaster for the U.S. economy. Tragically, as interest rates skyrocket, so does the amount of debt the government is forced to cover, a situation that will dramatically devalue the currency. "Inflation has outpaced earnings growth so rapidly that the average worker has lost the equivalent of about 5% of his annual income from the dollar's reduced purchasing power," Antoni explained. Experts point to historical currency crashes as experienced in Germany and Argentina that were so drastic that workers demanded to be paid

every day as money was worth more at the end of their shifts than the following morning. The squeeze on the U.S. treasury was exacerbated by a historically low demand on $112 billion in bonds it recently put up for auction, causing a spike in the amount of interest the government will have to pay investors. The bond prices have a ripple effect, ultimately funneling down to an average pocketbook already grappling with outrageous costs for goods and services. "For the typical American family, today's higher prices and higher inflation are the equivalent of losing about $7,300 in annual pay," Antoni continued. "It's no wonder that roughly half of Americans think we're already in a recession when their personal finances have deteriorated so much so quickly. Families are drowning in over $1 trillion of credit card debt, and 60 percent of them are living paycheck to paycheck," he said. And the news will only get worse. Under current projections, Moody's said interest payments
alone on the U.S. debt will be equal to 26% of all federal revenue in 10 years, an increase from the current 9.7%. The situation has economists believing that the government will no longer be able to pay off any principal on the debt and only afford interest payments as Washington keeps abusing America's credit card at an epic pace. The White House response to the nation's financial crisis has come under fire as President Biden continues to call for billions in war assistance for Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as fight to maintain record spending levels that were ratcheted up during the COVID shutdowns. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) gave the administration a blank check through continuing resolutions that threw trillions more into the fire. His caving in to Bidenomics led to his ouster as fiscal Conservatives showed him the door in favor of Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), who also capitulated to the Swamp by putting off any action on spending cuts for 75 days as the federal fiscal
year drew to a close. "Today's continuing resolution will allow us to continue working on appropriations bills and responsibly fund the government," explained Rep. Nick LaLota (R-New York), who voted on extending current spending. "We must stop governing by continuing resolution; the American people deserve better. Let's keep working, put up bills which can pass the House, and work with the Senate to reduce spending and keep our government open." LaLota is a co-sponsor of the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act, which would require that if appropriations work is not done on time, all Members of Congress must stay in Washington, DC, and work until the spending bills are completed. "This will prevent a government-wide shutdown and continue critical services and operations for Americans," the Congressman said. Nevertheless, after passing the continuing resolution and failing to advance bills for billions in funding for Ukraine and Israel, Congress adjourned for a two-week hiatus.

Migrant Costs to Exceed $451 Billion
By Robert Chartuk President Joe Biden’s decision to throw open the country’s southern border and use the resources of the federal government to funnel millions of migrants into the U.S. will come at a cost of $451 billion, or about $1,000 for every taxpayer, according to a report by the House Committee on Homeland Security. “It is unconscionable for Secretary Mayorkas and President Biden to force the American people to pick up the tab for the crisis their border policies created,” said committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tennessee). “Communities across this country, from the smallest border town to our largest city, are dealing with depleted emergency resources, public housing crises, overwhelmed public-school systems, damaged or destroyed property, and overwhelming law enforcement costs—burdens these hardworking taxpayers were never prepared for, and should not be forced to pay.”
to enforce our nation’s laws and reaffirms the Homeland majority’s urgent demand for Biden and Mayorkas to end the failed policies that are threatening to bankrupt our cities and states,” Congressman Green said, pointing out that New York City hospitals have recorded approximately 30,000 visits from illegal aliens in the past year, costs that will have to be borne by the taxpayers. “City police officers could lose upwards of $700 million in overtime pay if Mayor Eric Adams’ suggested five-percent pay cuts across the board, in order to pay the costs of illegal aliens arriving in the city, take effect,” he said in a report that singles out the Big Apple.
The problem is particularly acute in New York, the city of choice for migrants responding to offers of sanctuary by Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul. An announcement by Adams that he will have to dramatically cut police, education, and other services to pay for the foreigners he invited in has left taxpayers in shock. Even as he refuses to repeal his “official” declaration of New York as a sanctuary city,” the mayor says the migrant crisis “will destroy” New York.
New York, which Adams says is already on the hook for at least $12 billion in immigrant costs, is far from alone. Yuma Medical Center officials in Arizona testified to the house committee that their facility has incurred more than $26 million in unreimbursed costs caring for illegal aliens. In Cochise County, border-related criminal bookings totaled $4.3 million in 2022, with 1,578 suspects being processed into the county jail. The state of Florida spends more than $100 million every year to incarcerate criminal aliens in its state prisons, with very little of this cost reimbursed by the federal government. Chicago is spending more than $20 million per month to “house and support” illegal aliens, while costs for Washington, D.C. were expected to exceed $52 million by the end of the year.
“Today’s report outlines the devastating costs of refusing
Nationwide, expenditures on
Medicaid “emergency
services” for illegal aliens have exceeded $12 billion just since 2021. Students with limited proficiency in English represent additional costs for education systems, with a reported cost of around $78 billion last year for students representing more than 120 different countries. Total costs to provide services to the illegal aliens released into the United States under the Biden administration, along with the 1.7 million known “got-aways,” could exceed $451 billion per year, the report concludes. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and Yale University, between 16.8 million and 29 million illegal immigrants currently reside in the U.S., 3.8 million of which have entered since President Biden took office in 2021. The president has already asked Congress to
approve $14 billion in additional funding to aid the processing of migrants and reimburse state and local governments and nongovernmental organizations for providing other services. On Long Island, officials are bracing for an onslaught as Mayor Adams attempts to relocate upwards of 130,000 of the migrants he’s responsible for to the suburbs. Both existing and newly-constructed city shelters have reached a breaking point, and a massive tent city he set up with Gov. Hochul at Floyd Bennett Field was a multi-million dollar failure as the migrants they transported to the desolate facility refused to get off the bus. More than half of the hotel space in the city is inhabited by migrants, and an escalating crime wave has caused the quality of life in New York to plummet, leaving
residents outraged. As the mayor’s cuts to law enforcement and education start to kick in, matters can only get worse. Rep. Nick LaLota (R-Long Island), a member of the Homeland Security Committee, called for the impeachment of the homeland secretary over the migrant mess. “America, public safety, and our rule of law deserve better than Alejandro Mayorkas, whose failed leadership has resulted in over 7.6 million illegal crossings and over 200,000 American fentanyl deaths during his short tenure,” LaLota said. “Mayorkas has turned his back on our hardworking Border Patrol Agents and betrayed the American people, costing American lives. It’s time to impeach and, more importantly, remove Secretary Mayorkas.”
Nation’s Highest Court Announces Ethics Guidelines By Robert Chartuk Dogged by efforts to besmirch Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for accepting gifts from friends, the nation’s highest court has announced ethics guidelines for its nine judges. The new code of conduct, the first ever issued by the high court for its members, covers outside relationships, recusal from cases that could bring financial gain, activities of court staff, and limits on appearances at fundraisers. Promised by the court for years, the release of the guidelines came on the heels of a debate over subpoenas for two allies of conservative justices Thomas and Alito, who allegedly had financial dealings with them. The rules, similar to those applied to federal judges at the trial and appeals court levels, have been panned for being
too lax with language stating the judges “should,” rather than “shall” or “must,” comply. They apply to potential outside influences and conflicts of interest but also appear to let the justices off the hook for possible past transgressions. They also added the word “knowingly” when it comes to avoiding the appearance of impropriety, giving them plausible deniability that they didn’t know, for example, that they were lending the “prestige of the judicial office” to advance private interests or unwittingly allowed others to give the impression that they are in a special position to influence court members. Chief Justice John Roberts was seen as being in a tight spot, having to balance the preferences of his eight associate justices to release an ethics document before Congress stepped in and mandated a code of its making. The final version was also
panned for not including any enforcement measures if the justices break the code. Thomas was targeted by adversaries looking to have him booted from the court for failure to disclose his dealings with his longtime friend and benefactor, Harlan Crow, one of the people the Senate Democrats
said should be called before Congress. In a recent financial disclosure, Thomas reported Crow’s purchase of several properties owned by his family and the justice’s trips on Crow’s private jet. Alito was dragged into the debate for supposed trips with billionaire Paul Singer. Democrats and their left-
wing associates are still smarting from President Donald Trump’s appointment of three conservative judges to the court, tipping the balance to the right and leading to the ruling that overturned Roe vs. Wade. The decision, which referred abortion regulations to the individual states, was a historic ruling that was leaked by an asof-yet unidentified party as a way to influence the 2022 elections. The Supreme Court, one of the three branches of the federal government, has the power of “judicial review” to declare a legislative or executive act in violation of the Constitution. Democrats, not happy with the court’s current mix, have suggested the addition of associates beyond the court’s nine members. Critics of expansion argue that successive parties in power could continue the practice, making operations of the court untenable.

Controversy at Georgetown University Over Satanic Temple Event Funded by Alumni
By Raheem Soto Georgetown University, recognized as America's oldest Catholic higher education institution, recently became the center of a heated debate after hosting leaders from the Satanic Temple for a lecture. The event, funded by university alumni and donors, sparked outrage among the community for its apparent attack on the university's religious foundations. The controversy escalated when the Satanic Temple's representatives used the event to criticize Catholic beliefs, American capitalism, and Western culture. Reports from the event detailed that the group, which has openly aimed to dismantle religious communities, especially targeting Christian groups, used the platform for an aggressive diatribe against Christian doctrines. The university's decision to use donor funds for this event without proper consent led to a backlash across the campus. An open letter, undersigned by 180 members
WORLD
of the Georgetown community, called out the university leadership for misappropriating funds meant to support the institution's religious values. On the day of the lecture, a group of students and members of The Knights of Columbus gathered in prayer outside the venue in a peaceful protest against what they viewed as a betrayal of Georgetown's Catholic identity. Attendees reported that the event was less a scholarly dialogue and more an exhibition of antiChristian sentiment. The incident has raised broader concerns about the state of academic freedom and the integrity of educational institutions in America. While the university's student-run Lecture Fund, which hosted the Satanic Temple, was established to bring diverse speakers to campus, critics argue that this event crossed the line by promoting a group known for its antagonism toward religion. The Satanic Temple, which describes itself as an anti-theist
advocacy group, is known for its provocative actions that challenge the role of organized religion in society. This includes hosting controversial rituals and events that are deeply at odds with the Catholic teachings that form the core of Georgetown's identity.
for religious values in academic settings. Georgetown University's engagement with a group like the Satanic Temple, despite its controversial nature, has ignited a conversation about the direction in which university policies and practices are heading.
The event's aftermath has left many questioning the balance between free speech and respect
As the Georgetown community reconciles with the event's implications, questions linger
about the oversight of donor funds and the commitment to the institution's Catholic heritage. The controversy has become emblematic of a more extensive discussion about the role of universities in fostering a climate that respects diverse opinions while upholding their foundational values.
IDF Counters New York Times' Claims with Evidence of Hamas Tunnels
By Raheem Soto In a striking revelation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confronted a New York Times narrative, releasing video evidence of a Hamas tunnel network under a hospital in Gaza. The IDF footage, which undermines the newspaper's front-page story that cast doubt on Israeli claims of Hamas militarization beneath medical facilities, illustrates the ongoing tension between media reporting and military intelligence. IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari provided a walkthrough of the tunnel within the premises of Gaza's Rantisi hospital. This IDF release directly challenges the New York Times' reporting and brings into question the newspaper's scrutiny of Israeli military actions in Gaza. The New York Times has a history of contentious coverage regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In 2006, the publication of a photo essay, which included an image from Beirut after an Israeli bombing, was later questioned by readers. Recently, the newspaper had to issue a correction for a mislabeled photo that incorrectly identified an injured Jewish student as a Palestinian harmed by Israeli forces.

IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari walks through one of Hamas’ subterranean terrorist tunnels.
The scrutiny of the New York Times intensified when it walked back its report on an explosion at a Gaza Strip hospital in October. Initially, the newspaper had echoed Hamas' characterization of the incident as a massacre, implicating the Israeli government. However, subsequent analyses by other
news outlets and statements from U.S. President Joe Biden, referencing intelligence reports, pointed towards a Palestinian rocket as the cause of the explosion. The IDF's intervention calls attention to news organizations' challenges in
verifying information during armed conflicts. The veracity of reporting in such scenarios is critical, as it can influence public perception and international relations. The New York Times' experience exemplifies the precarious nature of conflict journalism and the necessity for rigor in fact-checking and source
evaluation. These episodes of disputed reporting have larger implications, particularly as the United States sees a rise in antiIsrael protests and a troubling increase in antisemitic attacks. The association between these domestic occurrences and the portrayal of the IsraeliPalestinian conflict in the media is a matter of concern for both the Jewish community and advocates of unbiased reporting. As the discourse on media responsibility in wartime continues, the New York Times' position on the IDF's latest evidence and its impact on the paper's credibility will be closely observed. The establishment media's role in shaping public understanding of complex international issues remains a pivotal point of discussion. The accuracy and integrity of reporting on the IsraeliPalestinian conflict are not only crucial for informed public discourse but also have the potential to affect the safety and well-being of communities. With the IDF's recent counternarrative, the dialogue on media accountability and the portrayal of conflict enters a new chapter that displays the importance of journalistic diligence and the pursuit of truth.

Hostage Display Spans Suffolk Center
By Robert Chartuk A stark display of tables and empty chairs representing the more than 240 people taken hostage during the attack on Israel by Hamas has been set up across the front of the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge. Empty Shabbat Table, displays also referred to as the “Saddest Shabbat Table in the World,” originated outside of the Tel Aviv Museum in the days following the October attack that saw terrorists rape, torture, and kill hundreds of innocent victims. They have been replicated numerous times worldwide since then, including in London, Rome, Times Square, the National Mall, numerous other cities across the United States, and on numerous
college campuses, according to the Suffolk organizers Sharon Penn and Rona Kugler-Bode, who spent Friday afternoon assembling the exhibit. “The purpose of the display is to spread awareness and provide education regarding
the hostage situation,” read a statement headed, “Bring them Home Now.” Said Kugler-Bode, “We hope for international pressure to release the hostages so that they may return to their families.” A Shabbat table is a festive dinner table that is set each Friday night in Jewish homes. The family welcomes the Sabbath holiday with a meal and celebration. Shabbat starts at sundown every Friday night and ends at sunset every Saturday night. This empty table shows that 239 people are still missing from their families, she explained. “We cannot enjoy the Sabbath while they are held in captivity. Each chair has a name and picture of each hostage in symbolic hope for their safe
return. The hostages range in age from nine-month-old Kfir Bibas (now 10 months old), who was taken with his four-year-old brother Ariel, to the oldest at 87. The hostages are citizens from dozens of countries, including the United States. Some of the chairs receive black ribbons indicating the death of the hostage or a note announcing their freedom. While Israel has had Prisoners of War held in the past, they were soldiers. Unique to the October 7 attack, most of the hostages who were abducted and are currently being held as prisoners are civilians. Prayer services also took place at the site recognizing Kabbalat Shabbat on Friday and Saturday’s Havdalah, with Suffolk’s Jewish Advisory Board Member Allan
Richter in attendance, along with family members of some of the hostages. The organizers enlisted many volunteers from the community to help set up, break down, and explain the display to the public. In support were: the Suffolk-Y JCC, Suffolk Police Asian Jade Society, Suffolk Jewish Advisory Board, Penn Design Group, Helfner Dental Associates, Matos Family, Five Boro Flag, Banner & Sign, Inc., Driftwood Day Camp, Lessing’s Hospitality Group, All American Van Lines Inc., Acer’s Florist and Garden Center, Dix Hills Jewish Center, Chai Center of Dix Hills, Temple Beth Chai of Hauppauge, MidIsland Party Plus, Preferred Events LI, Inc., and Little Tommy’s Party Rentals, Inc.
San Francisco's APEC Cleanup: A Fleeting Facade as Businesses Flee? By Raheem Soto In the aftermath of the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit held last week, San Francisco residents are contemplating the ephemeral nature of the city's recent cleanup. Governor Gavin Newsom, facing mounting criticism, spearheaded the beautification of the city's most troubled neighborhoods, prompting skeptics to question the motivation behind these sudden improvements. As the streets return to their presummit conditions, the exodus of businesses from the city underscores a need for sustained urban policy and support from Democrat-led administrations. Just days before APEC's international delegates arrived, the streets of the Tenderloin and South of Market districts were scrubbed clean, with seven notorious intersections receiving unprecedented attention. The contrast was so stark that many locals scarcely recognized the historically rundown areas. However, the cleanup, which Newsom defended alongside
Mayor London Breed, has since been critiqued as a superficial attempt to impress foreign dignitaries rather than a genuine commitment to resolving the city's deep-seated issues. Newsom's rationale for the cleanup was that California had recently 'raised the bar of expectation' for the state's urban centers. He cited the $312 million taxpayer-funded beautification project as a broader strategy to enhance the state's appeal. However, as the summit's influence wanes, the enduring problems of homelessness, crime, and grime resurface, leaving residents to face the same challenges that have plagued the city for years. The transient nature of the cleanup has become a point of contention, especially as a growing number of businesses have decided to leave San Francisco. Prominent retailers and tech companies such as Gap, Salesforce, and others have reduced their footprint or exited, citing concerns about safety, the cost of doing
California Gov. Gavin Newsom
business, and an increasingly anti-business climate. This trend indicates the city's failure to maintain a stable and inviting business environment. It reflects California's broader state of affairs, where companies are reconsidering their presence due to similar issues. The departure of these businesses is a glaring indicator of the challenges facing San Francisco, often attributed to the
policies of the Democrat-led city and state governments. Critics argue that these policies lack the foresight and effectiveness to support and retain the business community. As San Francisco's temporary sheen fades, the critique of Newsom and the Democratic Party grows sharper, with observers noting a pattern of addressing the city's image only when international attention
demands it. The situation raises questions about the administration's priorities and ability to implement long-term solutions to the city's woes. In a city that once thrived on the dynamism of its commerce and culture, the post-APEC landscape is a testament to the need for consistent and comprehensive urban management. While the summit may have brought temporary economic activity, the underlying causes of the business exodus still need to be addressed. Governor Newsom's leadership is now under scrutiny as constituents demand more than momentary fixes. The story of San Francisco's cleanup and the subsequent business flight unfolds within a broader discourse on California's ability to foster a business-friendly environment while upholding its urban commitments. As San Francisco grapples with its postAPEC reality, the effectiveness of Democrat-led initiatives in reversing the city's fortunes remains to be seen.

It's Our Son, The Judge
SUFFOLK CLOSEUP BY KARL GROSSMAN And now, it’s our son, the judge. Our son, Adam Grossman, was appointed a town justice in the Town of Southampton last week. He has been active in governmental affairs in Suffolk County for more than three decades. He was Riverhead Town Attorney after graduating from Pace Law School. He was chair of the environmentally focused Southampton Party which achieved a majority on the Southampton Town Board decades ago with Fred W. Thiele, Jr. as supervisor. In following years, Thiele, of Sag Harbor, has been a state assemblyman and, like Adam, a Democrat. Adam was a member of the Southampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals since 2002, its chairperson since 2017 until he stepped down upon being appointed to the judgeship. As I heard of the prospect of Adam becoming a judge, I thought of his great grandparents who settled in Sag Harbor a little after 1900. My paternal grandfather, Herman, worked as an engraver at Fahys Watchcase Factory. Joseph Fahys or his associates would go to Ellis Island
and recruit immigrants from Hungary—where engraving was an art among Jews—and bring them to Sag Harbor. (Also recruited were immigrants from Italy with backgrounds in engraving.) Herman met and married Stephanie Spiegel, from Hungary, in Sag Harbor. Her sister had married into the Spitz family; many of its members also worked at Fahys. Herman’s and Stephanie’s families which didn’t leave Hungary were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust, including his four sisters. Adam went from grade school through Pierson High School, just a few blocks from what was Fahys Watchcase Factory. With antisemitism suddenly increasing far more intensely than I’ve ever seen in the United States, indeed in many parts of the world, I thought of how my grandparents would be so proud about their great grandson becoming a judge, as are my wife of 62 years and me, of course. The rise of antisemitism has been on many minds in recent
times. The meeting of the Southampton Town Board on November 14th at which Adam received the appointment opened with Southampton Town Chief of Police James Kiernan delivering a message headed: “To the Town of Southampton Community.” “I as Chief of Police,” Kiernan said, “want to convey the unified stance of the Southampton Town Police Department in offering unwavering support to all members of our community affected by antisemitism. Our commitment to combatting hate speech and actions has always been steadfast, and we’ve been fortunate that such incidents have been minimal in our community over recent years. Sadly, it is evident that antisemitism has resurfaced on a national scale to a degree we could never have anticipated in recent times.” “In this digital age,” Kiernan continued, “where information flows freely, young minds may be exposed to toxic rhetoric, potentially warping their perspectives with misinformation. Rest-assured, we remain vigilant in our efforts
BY REV. FREDERICK MILLER. PH.D.
From 1950 - 1953 we were involved in the Korean War. There were no winners. As the veterans returned home they were ignored because our government labeled the war a police action. In 1964 we entered the Vietnam war; many were opposed that our country was against us entering. Many men actually ran up to Canada to avoid the draft. Our troops were sent to fight until 1975. One of the main issues
“We want you to know that we are here to assist. Do not hesitate to call upon us at any time. While we may not all share the same background or experiences, we are united as a community, as fellow human beings, and we stand together in these trying times,” said Kiernan. “During this period of turmoil, please lean on us—your police department—for support and protection. We are here for you.” Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman followed up by speaking about his father who in the U.S. military “fought against Hitler in World War II” and “my mom,” who at 15 left Hungary for the U.S. but had to leave her family which was “rounded up and slaughtered by Hitler.” In recent weeks, he said, “I’ve seen the symbol of the Nazis glorified.” The swastika, he noted, has been marked on buildings in Montauk, a place where he has spent much time. Later at the meeting the resolution on Adam being appointed a judge came, with Jay speaking of how Adam has
“done a fantastic job” on the Zoning Board and would be “a phenomenal judge…a fair and good judge.” Councilman Tommy John Schiavoni, a schoolmate of Adam’s in Sag Harbor, from grade school through Pierson, and a good friend, said “you could not find a more ethical person.” Councilman John Bouvier said Adam did a “a wonderful job” on the Zoning Board and would “act in a good way as justice.” After the vote, Adam was sworn in by Town Clerk Sundy Schermeyer. At the same moment, nearly 300,000 people, including some from our Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor were in Washington, D.C. protesting against antisemitism and the Hamas terror group which on October 7 killed more Jews than on any day since the Holocaust. A leader of Hamas said recently that it would repeat the onslaught many times to destroy Israel. “There will be a second, a third, a fourth,” he said. And by video link they heard Israeli President Isaac Herzog declare: “Never again is now.”
Our Veterans Need Help
VETERANS WAY
Former President George Washington said, “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation. Looking back to World War II, our Veterans came home as heroes and the communities treated them as heroes. Levittown actually was built to help house the returning veterans as were other areas. True, it was just war and they won.
to prevent the spread of this form of terrorism.”
they faced was that the enemy wore civilian clothing instead of uniforms. When they were returning home they were spit on, cursed, and called baby killers. The commanders ordered them not to wear their uniforms when returning home. In 1973 the draft ended creating an all volunteer military. The 9/11 attack led us into war against Iraq and Afghanistan in 2001 - 2021 when President Biden removed the troops, leaving behind the American civilians and our military supplies. Unfortunaly our troops considered it a surrender and that caused them more guilt and shame even though they were not the ones that surrendered. Their main problem was that the enemy also wore civilian clothing and included women and children. Having to shoot them, many of our troops suffered moral injury and are the majority of the military and veteran suicides’. Veterans should take advantage of the GI Bill which can assist in
finding employment, education, and adjustment back to civilian life and make it easier to find employment and take advantage of the GI bill and get back to
civilian life and go to a school under the bill and get trained by the civilian college in the field that they worked in the military. If not that field, in the field they want
as a career. Generally applying for a job after college takes the employers fear of them suffering from PTSD. It is one of the best ways to adjust back to civilian life.

William Floyd Avenges Lone Loss, Wins County Crown
By Nick Cipolla A year after the William Floyd Football team was bounced from the County Playoffs by Ward Melville and just a few weeks after losing their only game to Sachem North during the regular season, the Colonials came out and made sure that they would fulfill their destiny last Friday night as they stomped out the Flaming Arrows in a revenge game and claimed victory. The Colonials – who are now 10-1 overall on the year – made sure they made it back to the Long Island Championship as they would roll past the Flaming Arrows as they would put up 26 points to their opponents 9 to keep their season alive for one more week. “I’m just so happy for all my players, the whole community, for the school,” legendary
head coach Paul Longo said to reporters after the game. “After all these years, it (winning) doesn’t get old.” The first half was pretty quiet overall aside from an AJ Cannet deep ball that was caught by Geo Alvarez who scampered past the Sachem North defense for an 89yard touchdown with 2:57 left in the first quarter, giving Floyd an early 7-0 lead. After a couple of disappointing drives that ended in turnovers deep in Floyd Territory in the first half, Sachem North had a methodical drive to start the second half, but the Floyd defense held true and they forced the Flaming Arrows to settle for a 23-yard field goal by Zach DeMilt with 5:17 left in the third quarter. Jayden Montalvo – who had missed the previous six games

the ensuing kickoff following the Sachem field goal for 45 yards, putting the ball at the opposing team’s 36-yard line. Montalvo would later reap the benefits of his big return as he punched the ball across the goal line on a 2-yard run with 3:17 left in the quarter to give Floyd a 13-3 lead. After a Sachem North touchdown cut the lead to 139, Montalvo continued his magnificent play in this one as he scored on another 2 yard touchdown run to push the Colonials lead up to 20-9. “It was amazing because I worked so hard and then just seeing it finally pay off,” Montalvo said to Newsday following his team's victory. “I couldn’t have done it without my offensive line, honestly.” With 2:31 left in the game and
Floyd with possession of the ball, junior varsity call-up Ja’Quan Thomas flashed some of the talent he possesses as he would ice the game with a 64-yard touchdown to make it a 26-9 game. Statistically in this one, the Colonials were led by Montalvo’s 15 carries for 82 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback AJ Cannet connected with Geo Alvarez twice for 155 yards and a touchdown in this one. Floyd has been dominant this year as they have held an opponent to single digits for the sixth time in 11 games and they will now look to keep their stretch of dominance going as they take on undefeated Massapequa in the Long Island Championship at Hofstra University this upcoming weekend.
Lew Ford Becomes Manager of the Ducks By Nick Cipolla After a mutual parting of ways with Manager Wally Backman this fall, the Long Island Ducks have decided to stay in house and promoted Hitting Coach/ Outfielder Lew Ford to Manager. Ford has been the longest tenured Duck in franchise history and has been a key piece of their hitting core ever since he joined the franchise 13 years ago. The Central Islip Native has played in more games than anyone in team history while holding the team record for most hits in team history with 1,036, which puts him third all-time in the Atlantic League history. Additionally, he sits second all-time among Ducks players in batting average (.318 in a minimum 1,000 at bats), games played (877), runs batted in (511), runs scored (549), doubles (227)
and total bases (1,541). The 47-year-old Ford has served in a hitting coach or bench coach role for the team alongside his playing duties since 2014. During that time, he has helped two Ducks players be named Atlantic League Player of the Year (Jordany Valdespin, 2018; Steve Lombardozzi, 2021). He has also guided two Ducks players to ALPB batting titles (Sean Burroughs, 2015; Alejandro De Aza, 2022). Before Ford became a Ducks Legend, he spent parts of seven seasons at the Major League level. He is most recognized for his six seasons with the Minnesota Twins (200307), helping the club to three postseason appearances and was the last active member of the Twins to be on the roster when the team won a playoff game

before they went on a 19 year winless drought before this past
year. After beginning 2012 with
the Ducks, Ford returned to MLB and he helped guide the Baltimore Orioles to the postseason. Ford finished his major league career with a .268 batting average, 35 home runs, 176 RBIs, 235 runs, 425 hits and a .744 OPS. Many people both inside and outside the organization felt that Ford would become the Manager of the Ducks due to his tenure with the team and his relationship with the players already being very strong. “Lew has been an outstanding representative of the Ducks organization over the past 15 years,” said Ducks Founder/ CEO/Owner Frank Boulton in a press release regarding the hire of Ford. “He has earned this opportunity, and we are very excited to have him guiding our team on the field.”

Chuck Priore Has Been Fired, What’s Next for the Seawolves?
By Nick Cipolla After nearly two decades at the helm of the Stony Brook football program, Chuck Priore now finds himself unemployed after a perfect, 0–10 season just a year after signing a three-year contract extension to remain on as head coach. The question that is on the minds of many Seawolves fans is “Who will inherit the mess left behind?” Athletic Director, Shawn Heilbron said their will be a “nationwide search” for the next head coach of the Stony Brook Football program. However, Heilbron may not be the one making the call as he is on an expiring contract and it is unclear if the university will be willing to extend his contract. The university has had a history over the last half decade for hiring coaches, in-house, to take over and continue the same culture that the prior regime had. A prime example is the Stony Brook men’s basketball team at the end of the 2018–19 season. Basketball Head Coach Jeff Boals decided that he wanted to go back to his alma mater and coach the Ohio University Basketball team. Following a “nationwide search,” the department decided to give assistant coach Geno Ford a shot, and the team has failed to deliver to the expectations of the athletic department

The Stony Brook Football Team
while his predecessor has gone on to become one of the most successful mid major basketball coaches in the country over the last few years. This is nothing against Geno Ford, he is a great man who was thrusted into a spot that he wasn’t ready for while he saw all his superstar talents leave for greener pastures while failing to get the most out of his players like Boals has done throughout his career. When it comes to new faces looking for a coaching job, Stony Brook University is viewed as a very difficult place to find work. In order to become a coach
at the University, you must have at least finished college with an undergraduate degree (preferably from a prestigious university) while also waiting for a stamp of approval from the president of the university. As much as people want to blame Mr. Heilbron for his lackluster hires when it comes to his staff, he is somewhat handcuffed by the University as Stony Brook is a school that prides itself on academics first. It may be hard for some “top coaching talent” to want to jump ship from where they may be in order to come work on Long Island. Coach had a program that
has been trending downwards for almost a decade. In the words of many angry alumni and donors on social media, “No one wants to play for a losing mid-major FCS football program on Long Island.” Believe it or not, they’re right. Many of their top recruits either transferred out after a season or have fizzled out upon becoming a Seawolf, leading many coaches to steer their kids away from the program. Whether Shawn Heilbron is involved or not, he’s got a mess on his hands when it comes to his football program and his coaching search due to
the restrictions the University may place when it comes to a “nationwide search.” When it comes to the truthfulness of Heilbron saying there will be a nationwide search, this may be the year to look outside the realm of a fading Seawolf Program as there are many big time names that could become available for the job. One of these candidates that could catch the eye of many fans and the department alike is a pair of relatives of former Louisville University and Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Bobby Petrino (who currently serves as the Offensive Coordinator at Texas A&M). Petrino’s brother, Paul, is currently the Quarterbacks Coach at Central Michigan and had previously been at the helm of the University of Idaho’s program while also serving time as a positions coach for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007. Paul Petrino’s son, Mason Petrino also becomes a name of slight interest as he has been serving as a Wide Receivers Coach at a top 25 FCS Program at the University of TennesseeMartin. It may take months before we know who will be the next man in charge in Seawolves Country, but the interviewing process will be one of immense public interest as the fate of the program may lay on the shoulders of the next man in charge.
Matt Petgrave Arrested Following Adam Johnson Death By Nick Cipolla Following weeks of speculation, British authorities have finally decided to arrest professional hockey player Matt Petgrave for his role in the death of Adam Johnson during a game between Petgrave’s Sheffield Steelers and Johnson’s Nottingham Panthers late last month. The incident occurred during the second period when Petgrave – who has a history of dirty play throughout his career – made a “hit” on Johnson that looked like a Karate Move you would see Bruce Lee make as he slashed the throat of the Minnesota Native. Johnson received immediate medical attention on the ice before being transported to a nearby hospital where he would ultimately succumb to his injuries. Many fans felt that after watching the video of Petgrave
slashing the neck of Johnson that the move was intentional and was something that could be classified as manslaughter due to the fact that Petgrave had knowledge that the bottom of his skates were able to be used as a weapon that could seriously injure or kill someone on the ice, despite Petgrave’s claims that it was an accident that was a big time fluke. The South Yorkshire Police announced last Tuesday that a suspect had been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of Adam Johnson. The suspect – who was obviously Matt Petgrave – has since been released on bail, according to Syracuse.com and his potential return to the courtroom is unknown at this time. Earlier this week, Detective Chief Superintendent Becs Horsfall released a statement on

the arrest. While Horsfall never named Petgrave, he did note that police have consulted "highly specialized experts" throughout their investigation. "Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive inquiries
ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances," Horsfall said according to CBS.com. "We have been speaking to highly specialized experts in their field to assist in our inquiries and continue to work closely with
the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation." The South Shore Press will release any further information we receive on this story as it is an ongoing and developing event.

Top Of The Hill
BY TOM BARTON
The New York Rangers sit atop the Metropolitan Conference and blue shirt fans are thinking big things. Everything the Rangers have done so far this season says they should have these high expectations and the question is can they maintain their outstanding start. As we know the NHL season is a long season with many ups and downs. The Rangers have had lofty expectations in the past few years and have come up short, so the hesitancy of fans is understandable, but for many, this year feels different. They are sitting at 11 to 1 to win the Stanley Cup, having recently leapfrogged over their tri state area rival the Devils. In the East they are only looking up at Carolina, Boston and Toronto.
Skeptics were weary of the Rangers taking a fall this season because of the age of their team and some pretty alarming holes. Those holes have proven to be almost non existent and a team full of veterans have been playing with fresh legs and a spirit usually reserved for younger teams. Defense has been the name of the game and the one thing that consistently plays all season long is defense. Offenses can usually get hot and cold, but defense is about scheme and effort, this Rangers team has both down pat. Consider this: the Rangers rank in the bottom dozen teams in the league for assists and in points. But, they rank 2nd overall in saves and top 5 in save percentage. That
Page 19
shows that teams can't seem to even get shots off against this outstanding defense, and when they do they meet a
stone wall in goal. Anything can happen in a long season, but the blue shirts look for real and while defense plays
over the course of the year, it especially stands out in the postseason. So, yes Rangers fans, it's time to get excited.

Family Health Care Decisions Act
What is the Family Health Care Decisions Act? Is this different from a health care proxy?
The Family Health Care Decisions Act (FHCDA) is a law in New York that enables a patient’s family member of close friend to make medical treatment decisions if the patient lacks capacity and did not previously make such decisions or appoint a health care agent. Where the patient has executed a Health Care Proxy (a signed document witnessed by two individuals in which the principal appoints a health care agent to make medical decisions for him/her if he/she is unable to) the FHCDA does not apply, nor does the Act apply to patients who have a courtappointed guardian under SCPA 1750-b (guardians of persons who are intellectually and developmentally disabled). If a patient lacking decisional capacity is in a hospital or residential care facility, and the patient doesn’t already have a health care agent, the Family Health Care Decisions Act establishes an order of priority of the individuals who may make health care decisions for the patient: (1) a Mental Hygiene Law Article 81 court-appointed
guardian (if there is one), (2) the patient’s spouse or domestic partner, (3) an adult child, (4) a parent, (5) a sibling, (6) a close friend. A decision-maker under the FHCDA is required to take into account the patient’s wishes, including religious and moral beliefs, or if the patient’s wishes are not reasonably known,
to base the decision on the patient’s best interests. There are additional requirements regarding decisions to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment. Specifically, a decision-maker under the FHCDA may only withhold life-sustaining treatment if the treatment would be an extraordinary burden and
the patient is terminally or permanently unconscious, or if the patient has an incurable condition and treatment would involve so much pain and suffering that imposing such treatment would be inhumane under the circumstances. While the Family Health Care Decisions Act is a valuable safety net for individuals who
don’t have a health care agent, it remains essential to execute a Health Care Proxy because only then can you specifically designate who you want making medical decisions for you (as opposed to having to rely on the order of priority set forth in the FHCDA, discussed above). Moreover, in the Health Care Proxy document you can clearly establish your wishes, in writing, as to medical treatment and provide your health care agent with instructions regarding your care. If you do not already have a Health Care Proxy, you should retain an experienced elder law attorney who can prepare the document along with other important advance directives such as a Power of Attorney and Living Will.

Rescue, Recovery and Rewarm – The Maritime 3 R's
ON THE SEA BY VINCENT PICA, COMMODORE
First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
When we were kids, it was all about readin’, ritin’ and ‘rithmatic. On the sea, especially in cold water environments, it is all about rescue, recovery and re-warming. I don’t expect that there are many boaters out there on our bays, creeks and littoral areas of the ocean now. But some are out there. And the waters are cold now and will still be cold once April 1 comes around and the moorings go back in. This column is about that.
He Fell In And Can’t Get Out- Rescue
We’ve written about the new NYS law that requires PFDs on all boaters in boats under 21’ between November 1 and May 1 of the following year and about hypothermia. When I wrote about hypothermia, I suggested that you conduct a little experiment with the kids (or yourself!) to demonstrate the power of water to draw heat out of you - 25x faster than air of the same temperature. To prove it, try this experiment with the kids… get a glass of water to room temperature and drop an ice cube in it; at the same time, lay an ice cube on a napkin next to the glass
of water. When the ice cube in the glass has melted away, there will still only be a small amount of dampness around the ice cube sitting on the napkin… But, upon further research conducted by cold-water specialists in Canada (where the water is cold all the time, when it isn’t frozen), exertion – such as thrashing or swimming – can increase that heat-stealing mechanism up to 10x – that’s 250x now! So, if someone falls in, it is critical to get them out ASAP.
When Rescue Become Recovery
By USCG standards, a rescue becomes a recovery when the victim has died from the circumstances. So, if someone just falls in, it is still a rescue, right? Well, hopefully, but there are circumstances when death can come almost unbelievably quickly. As has been pointed out here before, cold water – sudden cold water – can be a killer long before hypothermia gets to you: 1. A splash of cold water in your face can cause you to involuntarily inhale water, which is a killer. Not swallowing it down your throat
into your stomach but inhaling it into your lungs. This is the “gasp reflex.” 2. In some people, the reaction doesn’t get that far into their bodies. They hit the cold water and, as soon as it touches the back of their throat, it closes up. The spasm stops the water from getting into the body, which is the biological intent, but it also stops air from getting to the lungs. The person bobs back to the surface (their lungs are full of air) and they suffocate in the open water, unable to breathe due to a blocked air passageway. This is what is now called “dry drowning.” There is no water in the lungs. Nor is there any oxygen. I’ve seen a BoatUS report that stated that 15-20% of all drowning are “dry drownings.” 3. When the difference between your body temperature and the water temperature is greater than 30-degrees, the chance of a heart attack from the sudden immersion goes up dramatically. 4. Even something as simple as a racing heart from shock and fear can create hyperventilating on the part of the victim. Dizziness
followed by unconsciousness results as the ratio of oxygen/ carbon dioxide changes in the victim’s blood system. If you are the victim, remember this: an initial deep and sudden gasp followed by hyperventilation that can be as much as 600-1000% greater than normal breathing can be deadly. You must keep your airway clear or run the risk of drowning. Cold Shock will pass in about one minute. During that time concentrate on avoiding panic and getting control of your breathing. Wearing a lifejacket during this phase is critically important to keep you afloat and breathing.
OK- We Have Them In the Boat – Now What? – ReWarm!
Believe it or not, if you apply heat directly to the arms and legs of a hypothermic person you just pulled from the sea, you can kill them. It is called the “After Drop” – you force cold blood that has pooled in the arms and legs (constricted blood vessels) back toward the heart and brain and that lowers their body temperature. Apply heat (hot water bottle, towels that have been
POETICALLY SPEAKING
microwaved, heating pads, your warm, dry hands) to the head, neck, chest and groin. Of course, you need to get them into a warm or at least dry environment as part of the rescue. Lie them on their back or side (not face down.) This person is dying so there is no time to be squeamish or bashful. Lie on top of them and wrap a blanket around you both. There are two schools of thought on getting them out of the wet clothes. Some believe that the little bit of water than you can warm with your body can aid in their recovery. My own experiences lead me to believe that, if the alternative is wet clothes or just a blanket around a naked body, go with the wet clothes and cover them up with blankets and your warm body. If they are conscious, give them warm – not hot – liquids. Add sugar for energy. No alcohol and avoid caffeine if possible. Bring ‘em back alive, captain. BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go direct to the D1SR Human Resources department, who are in charge of new member matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing…”
