This VILE excuse for a human being is the sponsor of the "Boss Bill" that catapulted NY abortion laws into the demonic place they are now! I hope the faces of the late-term aborted babies keep her awake at night!

**Attn William Floyd Grads & their families**** Let's turn out in numbers for our friend & Congressman, Lee Zeldin. We are meeting at the William Floyd H.S. on Wednesday, October 17th at 5:45 p.m. to take a group photo & lend our support to Lee. Please share this on your page & show up to re-elect one of our own...who STILL lives in the district, who STILL shops at our stores & whose children STILL attend William Floyd. Once a Colonial, always a Colonial!

BTW, some guy from Manhattan has NO idea what living on Long Island is all about - let alone small beachfront towns like the Tri-Hamlet. No clue what lifelong/generational friendships are, nor what owning a small modest home means to all of us. Say "No" to !

I think it is tragic that Dowling College has shuttered it's doors and left students scrambling for education alternatives. I believe a law similar to WARN should be enacted to prevent this from ever happening again. The NY WARN Act (New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ) requires employers with 50 or more full-time employees to provide at least 90 days' advance written notice of mass layoffs, relocations, and employment losses. Why not for college students? It is unfair to displace students, and ample time should be given to make other accommodations - such as scheduling classes and arranging room and board. I am certain that many classes in other colleges are already full; and students will be hard-pressed to stay on their current education schedule. The price of education is astronomical, and we should not burden students and their families with more challenges.

Legislator Kate Browning is the Chair of the Public Safety Committee and she is still pretending that red light cameras are about safety & not revenue. Time to wake up and end red light cameras once & for all. These intersections are dangerous, lives are in jeopardy, and Kate Browning and the Legislature are responsible!
*****************************************
A Suffolk legislative committee on Thursday stopped a bill that would have suspended the county’s red light camera program.

The Legislature’s Public Safety Committee voted 5 to 3 against a motion to move the bill to the full county legislature for a vote. The bill can’t get out of committee unless sponsor Robert Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) can collect signatures from a majority of lawmakers.

Legis. William Spencer (D-Centerport) joined Republicans Leslie Kennedy of Nesconset and Tom Cilmi of Bay Shore in voting to pass the bill.

Red-light camera opponents shouted during the hearing and two were escorted out by sheriff’s deputies as county officials and lawmakers defended the program, which they said had improved public safety.

More than 20 opponents spoke against the cameras, compared with one supporter.

Committee chairwoman Legis. Kate Browning (WF-Shirley) said, “I don’t disagree there are some serious issues and serious flaws.” But she said the program was passed by the legislature with safety in mind.

Trotta cited a recent county report that showed that injury accidents increased at 44 of the 100 intersections with cameras, compared with the three-year period before the program started in 2010. The county collected $33 million from the $80 tickets in 2014.

“The cameras are doing nothing but picking the pockets of the taxpayers,” Trotta said.

Spencer said opponents can’t be dismissed. “We have to do something,” he said.

Dawn Nappi, 46, of Holbrook, whose 14-year-old daughter Angelica died in a 2008 accident in Medford and who testified at the legislature earlier this month in favor of the program, said she now believes the cameras are more about revenue than safety.

She said she felt “manipulated” into supporting the camera by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s administration. County spokeswoman Vanessa Baird-Streeter said Trotta had presented Nappi with misleading information.

Rachel Lugo, an advocate for highway safety from the Hauppauge-based EAC Network, spoke in support of the cameras. She said the cameras help improve safety on county roads, which she said are “increasingly dangerous” with issues like texting and distracted driving.

William Hillman, Suffolk’s chief engineer, said the county is in the process of reviewing accident data at the 42 intersections it controls. The state controls the other 58 intersections with cameras.

Also Thursday, Suffolk lawmakers heard a presentation about handheld speed cameras for officers that generate speeding tickets that are mailed to drivers. Representatives of the vendor, OptoTraffic, said the cameras could be deployed in school zones.

Administration officials have met with company representatives about the technology. “While it sounded interesting, there are no plans for implementation of the technology at this time,” Baird-Streeter said.

SILVER ALERT**Please share!

A North Babylon man who served in World War II and landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day is missing, family and Suffolk County police said.

William Reuschle, 91, was last seen leaving his Burnage Lane home about 1:30 p.m. on Friday, driving a white 2010 Toyota Corolla with the New York license plate ETU 2819, police said in a Silver Alert issued early Saturday.

Reuschle is described as a white male about 6 feet tall and 140 pounds with brown eyes and white thinning hair. He was last seen wearing a blue and green ski jacket, a white T-shirt with the American flag on the front, khaki pants, loafers and a khaki baseball cap, police said. He also wears glasses.

Reuschle's granddaughter Kathleen Reuschle Harrigan said a full-time aide who lives with Reuschle and his wife had last seen him shoveling snow in the driveway.

"The next thing she knew he had backed out of the driveway and left," said Harrigan, 36, of Miami. "We're not sure if he went to the store. It's possible that he got disoriented. It's now the next day, and I don't have any information that he's been found."

Police said as of 12:15 p.m. Saturday, Reuschle still had not been found.

"My whole family is driving everywhere looking for him. We're concerned because of how cold it is," Harrigan said. "We just don't know what to think. He's been a very able-bodied man for a long time. It's only the last few months that he exhibited very mild mental decline."

Records show that Reuschle, who was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States as a child, enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943.

He was a private in the 29th Infantry, Harrigan said.

He's a father of five children and has 13 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and two additional great-grandchildren on the way, said Harrigan, adding, "Our whole family loves him dearly, and we're just desperate to find him."

Anyone with information about Reuschle's location should call 911 or call First Squad detectives at 631-854-8152.

This is amazing! I will share more details as they become available. So proud of this college student who is honoring The Greatest Generation.
****************************************************************************
This year is the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, and perhaps the last time America can come together to say "Thank you!" to our Greatest Generation who are now rapidly leaving us.
Several groups from around the country are meeting next month in San Diego to finalize plans for a WWII 70th Anniversary Commemorative Weekend on August 14 - 16, that will kick off with a mass "Kiss In" in Times Square and conclude with an around the world wreath laying ceremony. www.Spiritof45Conference.org
We are a group of university students who are developing social media to help promote events and activities like these to the public.
Sincerely,
Emma Englund
