Suffolk’s State Senate GOP Elections Eclipse Democrat Bids
L to R: Peter McGreevy-Southold GOP Chair, Mario Mattera-NYS Senator-Elect, Anthony Palumbo-NYS Assemblyman & NYS Senator-Elect, Alexis Weik-NYS Senator-Elect, Jesse Garcia-Suffolk County GOP Chair, NYS Senator Phil Boyle, Tom Kehoe-Northport Village Trustee. Taken 12/2/20 at Suffolk GOP HQ where Suffolk County Republican Chairman Jesse Garcia introduced these NY State Senators to the press.
By Barbara LaMonica The Senate Republican Delegation in Suffolk County represents 20% of the New York State GOP Conference, Suffolk GOP Chairman Jesse Garcia announced at a victory press conference last week. The string of Republican victories stemmed a muchanticipated tidal “blue - wave” the Democrats expected to see on election night. Flanked by a contingent of winners in the November 3 elections, Garcia said those victories included flipping Senate District 3 from blue to red with the victory of Republican Alexis Weik who defeated one-term Democrat incumbent Monica Martinez. In the First Senate District, Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo succeeds Senator Kenneth LaValle who announced his retirement effective December 31. Palumbo was victorious over Democrat candidate Laura Ahearn. In the 2nd Senate District, Mario Mattera will succeed retiring GOP
incumbent John Flanagan. Voters in the 4th Senate District returned GOP incumbent Phil Boyle to Albany to represent them for a fourth term. Garcia further touted the success of GOP Assembly incumbents, and the election of Jodi Giglio to the 2nd Assembly District. Giglio will fill the seat left vacant by Palumbo in his successful bid to succeed LaValle. At the national level, voters sent GOP Congressman Lee Zeldin back to Capitol Hill to continue representing NY-1. Likewise, Andrew Garbarino’s victory to succeed retiring Congressman Peter King keeps that district in Republican control. “This election demonstrated that Suffolk County voters from every corner of the County overwhelmingly rejected Governor Cuomo and the far left of Democrat policies that control Albany,” Garcia said. “These were very hard-fought victories during a difficult and challenging year of fearmongering by Governor Cuomo and his one-party
rule.” The outcome of the November 3 elections gives Suffolk County a stronger voice in Albany. Throughout his campaign, Palumbo underscored the “need for New York State Government to restore a balance of power in Albany.” Third District Senator-Elect Weik said she is “humbled and grateful to the voters who have entrusted me with this awesome responsibility.” Weik acknowledged Garcia, the Suffolk County Conservative Party and the men and women of law enforcement who supported her candidacy. Senator-elect Palumbo added, “This is the honor of a lifetime and I am truly honored to have earned the trust and support of the majority of residents in the East End and the Town of Brookhaven in my effort to represent them in the New York State Senate.” Palumbo said he will work to continue the legacy of Senator LaValle and “build upon this strong record of protecting the environment, supporting
our schools, and fighting for taxpayers.” Senator-elect Mattera said he is looking forward to working together to “bring the voice of all who live in our community to State government and to ensure the needs of all families are met.” As the Suffolk Senate GOP Conference postures to begin the 2021 New York State Legislative Session, they are expected to file a threepronged taxpayer protection and law enforcement package aimed at reinstating STAR rebate checks that were cancelled by Democrat control which they report cost Suffolk County Families a minimum of $700 annually; full repeal of the bail program that resulted in “catch and released” of convicted criminals; and a repeal of the $7 billion in taxes imposed by Democrats over the last year. In accepting victory,
‘‘
Palumbo said “men and women in uniform need and deserve our full support in helping them to reduce crime,” and is calling upon state lawmakers to “stop the negative rhetoric and misguided policies that have hurt law enforcement and made our families less safe.” Palumbo said it is “more critical than ever” as we face a second wave of the COVID pandemic to “end partisan politics and provide first responders, hospitals and frontline workers with the tools and resources they need to confront” the health crisis. “We must also use this time as an opportunity to retool and reinvigorate our economy while providing additional help and assistance to Long Island’s restaurants and small businesses.” The Senator-elect said he is looking forward to conferring with LaValle as he paves a path to represent Suffolk constituents.
“These hard fought victories during a very difficult year, are a resounding rejection of the Democratic one- party rule and their far left policies that have made our families less safe, raised our taxes, and have driven away good jobs which have hurt our economy.” Suffolk County Republican Chairman Jesse Garcia

Hempstead Man Indicted for Alleged Sex Trafficking Operation
Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini and the Suffolk County Police Department announced the indictment of a Hempstead man for allegedly conducting a sex trafficking operation. William Wilkinson, 29, is charged with two counts of Sex Trafficking, as class B violent felonies; five counts of Sex Trafficking, as class B felonies; two counts of Promoting Prostitution in the Third Degree, class D felonies; and Strangulation in the Second Degree, a class D violent felony. “This is a true predator who preyed upon his victims’ vulnerabilities to force them into sex slavery,” District Attorney Sini said. “He allegedly put pressure on them using a number of tactics, many of which we’ve seen employed by other traffickers: exploiting the victims’ drug dependency, running up purported drug debts to further coerce them into performing sex work, and using physical acts or threats of violence against his victims, using their fear to keep them under his control. “As we’ve talked about numerous times the Suffolk County District
Attorney’s Office, Suffolk County Police Department and many of our partners are laser focused on the issue of human trafficking. It is a top priority of my administration,” District Attorney Sini said. “The goal is very simple: to shift the paradigm and treat the victims as true victims; to connect those victims with services through not-for-profit organizations to help them break that vicious cycle of violence that they are experiencing at the hands of their traffickers; then to bring strong prosecutions against the traffickers. That’s exactly what we have been doing for the past several years, and today’s indictment is the latest example.” “We have made significant strides to dismantle human trafficking operations and to provide education and help to hospitals, parents and educators in identifying victims of human trafficking, and we will continue to collaborate with our community partners to offer assistance to the victims,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Hart said. “This is a serious issue. We will continue to address it fully and, thanks to our partnerships and the
hard work of our investigators, continue to hold these predators accountable and make a difference in the victims’ lives.” An investigation by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office and the Suffolk County Police Department’s Human Trafficking
2019. Wilkinson allegedly provided his victims with narcotics and subjected them to threats of violence and acts of physical violence to coerce them to perform prostitution. He also allegedly forced victims to perform prostitution in order to pay off purported debts he claimed the victims owed him for food, shelter, and narcotics. The defendant is alleged to have recruited victims in person as well as through social media. In furtherance of the sex trafficking operation, he allegedly advertised prostitution services by his victims through various websites and scheduled prostitution dates at the johns’ residences or in their vehicles, or at hotels and motels located throughout Long Island.
William Wilkinson, 29 Investigations Unit revealed evidence that Wilkinson allegedly ran a sex trafficking operation throughout Suffolk and Nassau Counties since as early as November
Pursuant to the investigation, Wilkinson was arrested by the SCPD’s Human Trafficking Investigations Unit with assistance from the Nassau County Police Department at The Coliseum Hotel, located in East Meadow, on Nov. 16. District Attorney Sini and Commissioner Hart urge any
additional victims or anyone with information to call 1-800-220TIPS. Wilkinson was arraigned on the indictment today in front of Suffolk County Supreme Court Justice William Condon and bail was set at $1 million cash, $3 million bond, or $10 million partially-secured bond. He is being represented by Joseph Hanshe and is due back in court on Jan. 13, 2021. If convicted of the top count, Wilkinson faces a maximum sentence of up to 25 years in prison. District Attorney Sini and Commissioner Hart thank the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office, the Nassau County Police Department and the Empowerment Collaborative of Long Island, Inc., for their assistance with the investigation. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Amanda Scheier and Veronica McMahon, of the Enhanced Prosecution Bureau. A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
Presiding Officer Calarco Encourages Residents to Shop Locally This Holiday Season ’Tis the season of giving, and Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer Rob Calarco is encouraging residents to give the gift of loyalty to small businesses. Presiding Officer Calarco joined chamber of commerce members and elected officials in Huntington village on Saturday to kick off the holiday season and encourage residents to shop locally as they search for the perfect gifts for their loved ones. “The pandemic has been a challenging time for small businesses, and with the holiday season upon us, we are encouraging residents to consider shopping locally,” said Presiding Officer Calarco. “Small business owners have
made it easier than ever to shop safely during the pandemic with many stores expanding services to match the convenience of shopping with big online retailers. Local stores are now selling their merchandise online, offering shipping and delivery, and even working with customers to arrange for curbside pickup. With each purchase we make this year, let us use our purchasing power to provide a boost to the local economy and support our friends and neighbors.” According to Empire State Development’s 2019 Annual Report on the State of Small Businesses, small businesses make up a sizeable portion of New York’s economy, with 98

percent of businesses in the state employing fewer than 100 workers. In 2017, businesses with fewer than 20 employees
employed more than 295,000 people on Long Island. Presiding Officer Calarco encourages Suffolk County
residents to visit the websites and social media pages of their local chambers of commerce and their favorite stores to see what online and pickup services may be available. Residents who elect to shop in person are reminded to follow all state COVID-19 guidelines, including wearing a mask in public and maintaining social distancing. “Loyalty is the best gift we can give to small businesses this year. From sponsoring our children’s sports teams to donating prizes for charity events, our local businesses are always there for our communities when we need them. Now we have an opportunity to step up when they need us,” Presiding Officer Calarco said.

Beachgoers at Smith Point Park have been greeted by a humongous platform preparing for the installation of a cable to connect the mainland with 100 wind turbines planned for 30 miles east of Montauk Point as part of Sunrise Wind. According to South Shore Press columnist Karl Grossman, who has been following the project, Sunrise Wind is expected to generate 880 megawatts of electricity for 500,000 homes, nearly half of LIPA’s 1.1 million customer base. The ship, Loredo Brazos, is doing survey work for the transmission cable that will feed power from the windmills into the Long Island electric grid at Holtsville. The barge features three long spuds that hold the ship to the sea floor while allowing it to adjust for depth and sea conditions.

MEDFORD TREE LIGHTING By Joan Travan
Sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce the Medford tree lighting at Memorial Park was a n exceptional event. The PatchogueMedford Library hosted the celebration which was viewed virtually. A musical group performed a spirited rendition of holiday songs as the tree was splendidly lit and viewed by our distinguished representatives, New York State Assemblyman Joe DeStefano and Suffolk County Legislator Rob Calarco. Ordinarily hundreds of people would attend but sadly because of Covid19-it had to be presented virtually. Kudos to all those who made the Medford Tree Lighting possible. Hopefully, next year life will be back to normal.

Suffolk COVID Numbers are on the Rise
Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone released the following statement on the County’s ongoing response to COVID-19.
“For the second day in a row, Suffolk’s positivity rate is above 5 percent, an alarming number we have not seen since the spring. With
966 new cases, we are beginning to see the first signs of the postThanksgiving holiday surge we had warned about.
“Luckily, we have taken a proactive approach in addressing the second wave of COVID-19. We have been here before, we know how and where this virus spreads, and we have the blueprints needed to once again flatten the curve. We know that small gatherings among family and friends have the highest transmission of all events – more than 65% of new cases in the State are being traced back to small gatherings. “With some of the most challenging days ahead as we try to navigate the Holiday season, now is the time to double down on the common sense measures that work. Social distancing and mask guidelines are essential to beating
back this virus and ensuring our hospital system does not get overwhelmed. While a vaccine is on the horizon, our actions these next 30 plus days will be critical to our continued recovery. ” On December 4th, the latest breakdown of confirmed and new COVID-19 cases in Suffolk, according to the county Department of Health: Brookhaven:

Pearl Harbor Remembered at Middle Island Ceremony
The heroes who defended our nation 79 years ago during the attack on Pearl Harbor were remembered during a special ceremony Sunday hosted by local community groups, an event which also included the eighth annual lighting of the holiday tree at Bartlett Pond Park and recognition of Coram’s Van Johnson for receiving the Carl Verdi Community Pride Award from the Longwood board of education. “It takes many hands to make a day like today possible and all of you should be filled with pride,” said Assemblyman Joe DeStefano who singled out the event’s hosts, the Longwood Alliance, Middle Island Civic Association, and Central Brookhaven Lions Club. Also participating were Boy Scout Troop 433, the Middle Island and Coram Fire Departments, Harold Bachman, Matt Gropper, Tony and James Bocchimuzzo, and the Town of Brookhaven Parks Department.
Attending the ceremony was Samantha Segal, whose grandfather, Mike Segal, served at Pearl Harbor. She and her daughter, Gabriella, were among the many who represented veterans at an event which has become an annual tradition at Bartlett. The remembrance ended with the placing of wreaths by Middle Island Fire Department members on the eight war monuments at the park.

The program featured the story of Coram’s Jim Eagle whose bravery during the Pearl Harbor attack inspired the Longwood Veterans Project which saw the creation of lasting stone monuments at the park commemorating America’s military conflicts from the Revolutionary War to the present day. Enlisting in the Navy in 1940, Eagle chose to serve on the Tennessee, a fateful decision as the ship was spared from the brunt of the Japanese torpedoes due to its occupying an inner berth at Pearl Harbor. He and his crew assisted in the recovery of fellow sailors lost during the attack which lasted less than two hours and took the lives of 2,335 servicemen and 68 civilians. “Mr. Eagle’s tale proved so riveting it sparked a

A firefighter for over 50 years who has served as the Fire Commissioner of the Coram Fire Department for three decades, Van Johnson was honored for donating his time, not only to the Longwood School District, but to numerous community organizations.
The Carl Verdi Community Pride Award is presented annually to members of the community who, over a sustained period of time, have built lasting bridges between the school district and the greater community. “Today’s event was also a moment to light the Christmas tree at Bartlett Pond Park to remind us of the spirit of the holiday season and the freedoms that our many brave men and women in the armed forces sacrifice to maintain,” noted Assemblyman DeStefano. “It was an honor for me to be among people so devoted to their community and their country and I’d like to thank everyone who made today possible.”
Colonials Community Volunteer Corps Helps Families in Need Colonials Community Volunteer Corps sponsored by Colonial Youth and Family Services and led by Ray Hopp and Samantha Soccorso helped 150 families for Thanksgiving. This year 19 volunteers worked tirelessly over a three-day period of time collecting, assembling, and distributing food boxes to local families. These dedicated volunteers can always be counted on to lend a helping hand. We would like to thank the Knights of Columbus who donated the use of their hall and all of the generous individuals, organizations, businesses and school
personnel and students who donated food to support our efforts. This program would not be possible without our incredible partnerships and our generous community. As we now prepare for Christmas we are in need of donations of
toys, clothing and gift cards. If you can help in any way, please call Ray or Sam at (631)-2814461. Working together we can bring tidings of comfort and joy to those most in need. Our volunteers will be there to help, now and in the future.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP BY KARL GROSSMAN There will likely be a new ballot line landscape in Suffolk County and the rest of New York State as a result of last month’s election: the elimination of several minor parties that have for many years all but automatically gained ballot presence. There is litigation pending in federal court to overturn this. But legal experts we’ve spoken to say the litigation—brought by the Libertarian and Green Parties—is unlikely to succeed. And if it doesn’t, they and the Independence Party will lose automatic ballot presence. They can get back on the ballot through a petition process, but this is difficult, especially on a statewide basis. The cause for the change: new ballot access rules passed by the New York State Legislature and signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo. He has been reported to have been a key force behind the new rules. For decades, minor parties in New York State needed 50,000 votes in the gubernatorial race held every four years to maintain automatic ballot access.
But the new rules require minor parties to each secure either 130,000 votes or two percent of the votes cast every two years in the races for governor or president. In last month’s election only the Conservative Party and Working Families Party got enough votes to meet this threshold. What has happened has special impact for Suffolk County. The Independence Party has many members, especially here, although there are those in politics who believe it is because some people think enrolling in it signifies their being independent, not a member of a party. There are 46,437 enrolled members of the Independence Party in Suffolk, well-outnumbering enrollees here in the Conservative Party (22,279) and Working Families Party (4,176). And there is a strong hold by Suffolk figures on the leadership of the Independence Party, founded in 1991. The state Independence Party chairperson since 2000 has been Frank MacKay of Rocky Point, who is also Suffolk Independence

New Ballot Line Landscape Party leader. He was preceded as state Independence Party chairperson by Jack Essenberg of Miller Place, who was also its Suffolk leader. Also, the only public official on the state level who is an Independence Party member is from Suffolk: Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. of Sag Harbor. He’s also Independence Party chairperson of Southampton Town. However, he caucuses and runs with Democratic Party cross-endorsement. So, if there is no Independence line, the next time Mr. Thiele is up for election, in 2022, he can run on the Democratic ticket.

of every dollar collected through the Suffolk sales tax.
Also, as a result of last month’s election, there’ll likely be litigation, affecting Suffolk only, involving the wording and legality of what was titled Proposition 2 on the ballot here.
“The county is trying to raid your Drinking Water Protection Fund again,” charged the Pine Barrens Society in the weeks leading up to the election. It urged a “no” vote. “They’ve carefully worded the proposition in a way that disguises what they are actually doing,” it declared.
The litigation which challenges the new rules on the basis of constitutionality was brought in July in U.S. District Court-Southern District in Manhattan.
It was a vote on allowing $44 million to be transferred from the county’s Sewer Stabilization Reserve Fund to a Taxpayer Trust Fund that can be tapped to finance general county operations. And, it would allow the county to not have to pay back $145 million it took earlier from the sewer fund for county operations. That transfer was contested in a successful earlier lawsuit brought by the Long Island Pine Barrens Society in state Supreme Court.
Governor Cuomo has been reported to have pushed for the new rules because of his friction through the years with the Working Families Party, which is to the left of his centrist stance within the Democratic Party. He denies this. In any event, if his aim was bumping the Working Families Party
The sewer fund is not only structured to stabilize sewer taxes but can be utilized to fund septic upgrades. It’s part of the county’s Drinking Water Protection Program created by voters in a 1987 referendum. It also provides money for land preservation and water quality. It is funded by a quarter cent
Proposition 2, which received a narrow majority vote—348,357 to 301,407—was advanced and promoted by Suffolk Executive Steve Bellone amidst county government being in big financial trouble. Suffolk County government, according to a report by its COVID-19 Fiscal Impact Task Force, is facing a $1.5 billion economic shortfall between this year and 2022. This could be moderated if it receives significant federal aid. The wording of Proposition 2 was indeed problematic asking voters to approve “A Charter Law to Transfer Excess Funds in the Sewer Assessment Stabilization Fund…” Seeing that word “Excess,” did voters know exactly what they were voting on?

THE BETTOR ANGLE
TM
BY TOM BARTON
New York, New York... Does Lindor Fit In With Either Team?
The Cleveland Indians can’t afford Francisco Lindor any longer and they don’t want to lose their prized young shortstop and get nothing in return, (sorry if that brings up bad Jose Reyes memories), so Frankie is on the trading block. As of right now the New York Mets, and their brand new owner, are leading the odds to land Lindor at a pretty heavy favorite +250. The Yankees, who are always players in the biggest names, come in at 9 to 1. So that puts both New York teams in play, but should they be?
the makings of a cornerstone superstar. Lindor had a down year in the Corona shortened 2020 season but let’s look past that. He has finished in the top 15 in the MVP race the prior 4 years before that and inside the top 10 each of the most current 3 seasons. At 27 years old he has three 30 home run seasons under his belt, has stolen more than 20 bags twice, and has a .285 career average. He also has an electric smile that reminds many of Griffey Jr. and you can see the enjoyment he takes in playing the game.
lot of teams involved and that means a very high price tag. For the Yankees that likely means some combination of Miguel Andujar, Clint Frazier, Devi Garcia and the asking price might even be Jasson Dominguez. Those are steep asks of course but the big caveat would be the pinstripes would have to say no to resigning DJ Lemahieu. Oh yeah, then add to the pile a likely $300-$400 million dollar extension. I think the Yankees pass and that’s why they are all the way down at 9:1 odds.
First let’s look at the pros. Lindor seems to have it all. He just turned 27 years old, plays a premiere position (with two gold gloves), has speed, power, and off the field has all
There are some negatives though and it’s not really about Lindor as it is what the New York teams will have to give up. Of course, for such an exceptional player there are a
For the Mets there are a lot of obvious draws here. New York’s new owner Steve Cohen likes shiny new things and wants to make a splash in this town. The ask for the Mets would be
something like JD Davis, David Peterson, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ahmed Rosario. Mets fans could handle giving that up but that means the organization is giving up on Rosario as their long term answer. They also will have to overpay for an extension. I’m not sure Cohen is willing to do either of those things right now, even if the Mets should be the favorites. Lindor is an elite talent but the last thing the New York teams want to do is get into a bidding war by giving up young talent when there is the extension attached to the trade as well. Lindor would be great in the Big Apple and become an immediate super star ... I’m just not sold he’ll be worth the asking price.

Estate Tax and Gift Update for 2021
ASK NANCY BY NANCY BURNER, ESQ.
Q: A:
With the end of the year coming, can you tell me about any updates to estate and gift taxes for 2021?
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) increased the federal estate tax exclusion amount for anyone passing away in years 2018 to 2025. The exclusion amount is for 2021 is $11.7 million. This means that an individual can leave $11.7 million and a married couple can leave $23.4 million dollars to heirs or beneficiaries without paying any federal estate tax. This also means that an individual or married couple can gift this same amount during their lifetime and not incur a federal gift tax. The rate for
the federal estate and gift tax remains at 40 percent. The Portability Election, which allows a surviving spouse to use his or her deceased spouse’s unused federal estate and gift tax exemption, is unchanged for 2021. This means a married couple can use the full $23.4 million exemption before any federal estate tax would be owed. To make a portability election, a federal estate tax return must be timely filed by the executor of the deceased spouse’s estate. For 2021 the annual gift tax exclusion remains at $15,000. This means that an individual
can give away $15,000 to as many people as they like in a calendar year ($30,000 for a married couple) without
having to file a federal gift tax return. Despite the large Federal Estate Tax exclusion amount,
New York State’s estate tax exemption for 2021 is $5.93 million. New York State still does not recognize portability. New York has a three-year lookback on gifts as of January 16, 2019. However, a gift is not includable in the estate if it was made by a resident or nonresident and the gift consists of real or tangible property located outside of New York State; while the decedent was a nonresident; before April 1, 2014; between January 1, 2019 and January 15, 2019. Most taxpayers will never pay a federal or New York State estate tax. However, there

are many reasons to engage in estate planning. Those reasons include long term care planning, tax basis planning and planning to protect your beneficiaries once they inherit assets. In addition, since New York State has a separate estate tax regime with a significantly lower exclusion than that of the Federal regime it is still critical to do estate tax planning if you or your spouse have an estate that is potentially taxable under the New York State law. - Nancy Burner, Esq. and Kera Reed, Esq.

Winterizing – Now or Later, it has to be Done
ON THE SEA BY VINCENT PICA, COMMODORE
First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
Usually, as soon as I write a column on de-commissioning the boat for the winter season, Indian Summer arrives to bathe us in the last warmth of the year. As of this writing, we’re passed that so I’m writing it for information – and in the hope Indian Summer will get here! This weather is windy, wet and cold – but a reminder that many months of kindly weather are behind us and many months of dark, cold and dreary weather are ahead of us. So, here we go – Indian Summer or not! Even if you hand off your boat to your dock master and say, “see you in the Spring”, there are some tips in here that you will want to be aware of. This column is about that.
“On the Hard” or In The Water
Clearly, there are some basic steps to de-commissioning and one of them is to get the boat safely “onto the hard”, as the old-timers call dry-dock. Storing your winterized boat in the water can only be done in a very controlled environment with, generally, professional and nearconstant attention. Even with signs of global-heating all around us, (I think
Page 13
“global warming” sounds too benign), the creeks and coves of “Out East” freeze up for much of the winter. Even Moriches Bay itself has frozen across over the years and I am talking about recent years. The only upside to storing your winterized boat in the water is that you don’t have to pay to haul the boat and return it to the water in the Spring. I still believe that that can be penny-wise and pound-foolish if this watery winter berth isn’t a very controlled environment… Recall that 80% of boats that do sink do so at the dock. So, let’s focus this column on spending the winter “on the hard”…
Making a List and Checking It Twice
If you are going to hand the boat over to the dock master and say, “see you in the Spring”, do so with a written check list, especially if you intend to do some of the work yourself. As you’ll see, the advice below is not 100% extensive. I’d need most of the newspaper to give you a check list that could be used by every boat. (BTW, if you want a copy of the Boat-US/Seaworthy article on
winterization, email me below and I will email a copy to you.) So, work with your dock master in signing off on what will be done by the yard and, if you desire to be involved, by you. Some ideas/categories: 1. Change the oil and oil filters 2. Change the lubricant in engine transmission or the outboard lower unit 3. Apply fogging if called for by manufacturer 4. Fill the boat’s fuel tanks completely full 5. Add biocide and/or stabilizing agents to fuel 6. Change the fuel filters 7. Add antifreeze to the engine’s cooling system 8. Add distilled water to batteries, charge completely and disconnect 9. Charge batteries to capacity Before thinking about covering the boat with shrink-wrap or canvas, inspect the hull. Any blisters in the gelcoat? If so, that has to be addressed sooner rather than later as that will lead
to water infiltrating the hull, making the boat less sea-worthy. Stress cracks, which often develop at the bow, need professional attention. Just putting a patch over it and sanding, a la the gelcoat blister, won’t fix that one. It’s structural. As to washing and waxing the hull, I opt for cleaning now and waxing in the Spring. Does the boat have a cabin of any kind? Get the “moisture-soakeruppers”, i.e., desiccants, in there. Inexpensive and they inhibit the buildup of moisture that leads to mold. And don’t forget the hatches, closets and lazzarettes. Other than covering the boat, the “mechanical system” is the most obvious place to start. Your mechanical system may only be your gasoline-powered 90-HP Johnson outboard. If so, you are going to flush the engine with fresh water (attached a garden hose to the intake and let it flush – engine OFF!), “fog” the engine with lubricating oil (be sure the fuel system is disconnected from the engine when you start the
process), clean/replace the spark plugs and fuel filter, lube the carburetor and anything else that moves – choke, cam, starter linkage etc. Don’t forget the lower unit (what the prop comes out of). Replace the lube oil. BTW, if you open the drain plug and water comes out first (oil floats), you need to replace the seal. Inspect the prop(s). Any dings? Get a professional to look at that. A bad “wheel” can shake your engine apart… So that’s your outboard. Did I ask if you had a diesel engine or an I/O? Does the boat have a transmission? In-board water system (sink/shower)? Airconditioner? Electronics going to stay aboard or come home with the owner? So, as you can see, the list is far more extensive than the short list above. But have fun! She’s your boat! 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 members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing…”

The Invisible Wound Moral Injury: Part One
VETERANS WAY BY REV. FREDERICK MILLER. PH.D. As we stated in the previous article the difference between PTSD and Moral Injury (MI) is important. Up until 2014 the military services, not surprisingly, were reluctant to discuss moral injury, as it goes to the heart of military operations and the nature of war. Unfortunately there is still no official separation between PTSD and Moral Injury. To put it in civilian terms there is no difference between the men in combat afraid to die (those with PTSD) from those who suffer from Moral Injury (MI) and no longer feel life is worth living. As stated in the previous article the suicide rate among veterans is over 20 per day. It is also important to know that the suicide rate in the military is presently at its highest rate. With those on active duty it is more difficult to understand since
the use of the draft to fill the military ended in 1973, thus they are all volunteers. When we examine the symptoms that cause Moral Injury the reasons become visible and understanding. With the Vietnam War, several important changes started to take place in warfare that increased moral injury. First was the factor that the enemy was no longer in uniform. In addition there were no real front lines of battle. The major principle of a “Just War” does not exist. The present Iraqi and Afghanistan war is causing even more moral injury. Again the enemy is in civilian clothes, and they now include women and children. In many cases a woman or child tries to enter an area where are troops are with a bomb strapped to their body.

patient with Moral Injury the same as PTSD can increase the injury. While medications can relieve the fear factor they do not work with the shame or guilt in Moral Injury. In addition reliving the incident with Moral Injury can cause greater shame and guilt. We will cover this in more detail in the next part. Moral Injury personnel can be helped by fellow veterans, family, clergy and the local communities. Help is available to you by calling the local VA hospital in Northport, (631) 261-4400 or Veterans Crisis Line 1-800273-8255, press 1 to talk to a veteran or have a confidential chat at >VeteransCrisisLine. net< or text to 838255.

Center Moriches Man’s Role in Conquering Disease
FROM A TO Z BY ROBERT CHARTUK With a Coronavirus vaccine just around the corner, I had the opportunity to converse with Center Moriches resident Jim Dineen whose half-century in the pharmaceutical industry saw the conquering of some of the worst diseases to afflict mankind. We talked about SOS, Sabin or Salk on Sunday, the nationwide program in the 1960’s to eradicate polio. “Hundreds of people would go to the schools on Sundays to get either the vaccines or the sugar cubes,” Dineen said of the cures made possible by the two famed scientists. “Nowadays, people don’t realize the enormity of it. Children were put into iron lungs and many were crippled. It was a horrible disease, but we wiped it out.” Over the course of his career, Dineen made sure people had access to an unprecedented battery of wonder drugs and protocols that saved millions of lives. From the flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis and measles to tetanus, cholera and diphtheria, the 93-year old looks back on a calling that connected
the brilliance of industry to a populace desperately in need of cures. The discoveries were epic in their scope. Alexander Fleming left a culture in the lab overnight only to discover a strange mold killing the bacteria he was working with. His synthesis of penicillin was a Godsend to humanity as were the powerful drugs that followed. Dineen marketed them all including Tetracycline, Erythromycin, and other antibiotics, as well as the tools of the medical trade such as stethoscopes, hypodermics and syringes. In fact, one of his first jobs after graduating from Pace College was selling thermometers in Chicago and he also helped usher in Vacutainers which allowed blood to be drawn more easily. “Nurses were hesitant to use them; they were comfortable with the syringes,” Dineen explained. “But they switched over when they saw how much easier they were.” Dineen worked for many years with Lederle, a company that was absorbed by Pfizer, one of the
providers of the COVID vaccine. “Drug companies get a bad rap,” Dineen said, “but they have made incredible discoveries that benefit humanity in so many ways. The COVID vaccine was created in an amazingly short period of

Growing up, I looked forward to the annual baseball game at the Center Moriches Little League field following the Memorial Day parade. I don’t remember too much about the games, but I do recall Jim Dineen’s son, Rory, hitting a homerun playing for the Indians. What I didn’t know until now was that Jim helped the league purchase the field in 1962 when it was being eyed for a doctor’s office. Supporting the $10,000 deal was John Kanas,
the banker, and artist Alan Price, who helped Jim paint signs for the local advertisers. Jim also helped start the Moriches Youth Organization with Tony Parlato, a group that still provides sports activities to local kids. Playing for the Pirates, I got my own homerun at the field, although not during the Memorial Day game. Fastforward many years and I was at a yard sale talking to a fellow who also played in the Moriches little league. I told him about my one big moment, hitting the homerun, and I would always remember it. He said he wouldn’t forget it either, he was the pitcher. He said it was the only homerun he had ever given up. That was 47 years ago. My baseball hero from way back, Rory Dineen, is now an executive with Fed Ex working in New York. Jim’s other son, Brian, is a teacher in Riverhead. His daughter, Marigrace, is a popular musician whose latest album, Great Gun, is named for the Fire Island Beach we all know and love.

to the Moriches Rotary Club and Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, a summer haven for special needs children. The club’s duck barbecue is an annual tradition which may have remained a chicken and lobster roast if it wasn’t for a chance conversation Dineen had with Ted Jurgielewicz, a local duck farmer. “He came into Charlie Sullivan’s drug store one day and I asked him to donate some ducks to the barbecue. Since they were free and considerably less trouble than the lobsters we were serving, it’s been a duck barbeque ever since,” he said, noting that the fundraiser would serve more than a thousand dinners a year.

Virtual Book Discussion Jack and Laurie “meet” at a bus stop and continue to circle each other’s lives, seemingly fated to be together, except not actually managing it...for a decade. A tale that takes place over 10 consecutive Christmases, One Day in December is an unforgettable love story, perfect for this time of year. “Get ready to be swept up in a whirlwind romance. Laurie falls in love at first sight with a stranger, and spends the next year looking for him. Fate brings them back together at Christmas, but not in the way anybody expects: turns out he’s dating her best friend. It absolutely charmed me.” —Reese Witherspoon “Consider setting aside some time and prepare to be charmed as author Josie Silver takes readers on a captivating journey — where female friendship is as important as romantic love…One Day in December is an unmistakable winner.” —USA Today
One Day in December by Josie Silver Tuesday, 12/15 @ 7:00-8:30 PM via Zoom.
