NEW FENCE ON MORRIS AVE. SIDE OF PARK
We are also getting a new wooden post fence on the Morris Ave. side of Dorchester Park. This was not something I asked for, but what the Commissioner put in motion. I didn't see the need for it, but, he did it anyway. I don't believe that side (Morris Ave.) will be gated with the wooden fence posts they are using. The Sycamore Ave. chain-link fencing is not being removed and gates there will remain (at least that is the busier side).

NEW WALKWAYS
As many of you will see today upon driving past Dorchester Park, new walkways are being installed at all four (4) entrances/exit. It already looks so much better! I have been working on getting them for three (3) years now and finally....!
I am trying to get the track repaved or at least repaired. I will keep you posted.
Thank you,

Verizon Hole on Morris Ave.
The gapping/ dangerous hole made by Verizon a long time ago is now fixed and concreted. The orange mesh still around it as it sets. I am sure they will be back to remove it. Thanks to a fellow NW member for the phone calls to Verizon as I am sure it helped to move things along.

Thank you
A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU to everyone in the community who made the time today to come help clean up Dorchester Park. We got the South side of the park raked and picked up garbage and did some weeding where we planted last year on North side. There was no way we could of done the entire park today- it's just "too big" and we did not have enough hands to do it all.
I also want to thank Boy Scout Pack #124 and Girl Scout Troop #2751 for all their help.
The town will be by to pick up all the garbage bags we left behind in the upcoming week.
There will be more clean-ups in the future; I will keep you all posted...

Two (2) New Signs
We will be getting two (2) new signs that states the name of our community park, Dorchester Park. Only took two (2) years, but I got them! Councilwoman Walsh is to thank. I am being told that they will be installed tomorrow April 12th.
I will continue to press the town and councilwoman for further improvements to this park until it happens.
**Also, as a reminder, please continue to close the gates when small children/toddlers are in the park. The gates are ultimately for their safety against the speeding cars and cars that blow thru the STOP sign on Sycamore Ave.**
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Happy Spring!

Article about Heroin in our area- SachemPatch
Locals Nabbed in Heroin Sting Operation
Law enforcement officials apprehend residents from Farmingville, Blue Point and West Islip following nine-month investigation.
Several area residents were indicted Tuesday as part of an effort by federal and local law enforcement officials to end a heroin distribution ring that stretched from Queens to Suffolk County.
According to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, those indicted included Tina Catrini (alias Tina Bonghi), 29, of Farmingville; Matthew Catrini, 24, of Farmingville; Josephine (Josephina) Javis, 50, of West Islip; Ronald (Pops) Stern, 68, of Blue Point; and Corey Stern, 37, of Blue Point.
The five local residents were among 20 members of the Perez Organization who were indicted, law enforcement officials said, noting the organization is an alleged drug trafficking ring with conspiracy to distribute heroin. The defendants were arrested on Tuesday and were arraigned before United States Magistrate Judge Gary R. Brown at the United States Courthouse in Central Islip.
“The charges and arrests announced today have ended the activities of an alleged heroin distribution organization whose members were drawn from a variety of backgrounds but were united by common cause — profiting personally while seriously endangering the lives of so many residents in our communities,” said Loretta E. Lynch, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
“As alleged in the indictment, the Perez Organization was responsible for a significant portion of the heroin distributed on Long Island,” said Janice K. Fedarcyk, FBI Assistant Director in Charge. “Heroin use among suburban teens is alarmingly popular, and today’s heroin is more potent and less expensive than ever. A potentially lethal dose can be purchased for about the cost of a pack of cigarettes or a six-pack of beer."
According to the indictment and a detention letter filed by the government, the organization’s leadership was centralized in Woodhaven, Queens, with distribution networks in Nassau and Suffolk counties and a storage facility in Brooklyn. The organization’s members were allegedly responsible for distributing more than 20 kilograms of heroin, with a street value of at least $2.75 million, to drug dealers in Long Island and Queens during the past nine months.
During the course of the investigation, law enforcement agents monitored hundreds of hours of court-ordered wiretaps, which documented numerous purchases and sales of heroin by the defendants, and conducted numerous controlled purchases of heroin, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.
During the investigation, more than 5,400 individual doses of heroin were recovered from members of the Perez Organization, which were otherwise destined to reach the streets of local communities. The agents also executed search warrants at four heroin storage locations in Queens, Brooklyn, and Roosevelt, New York, resulting in the seizure of, among other things, heroin with a street value of more than $30,000 and thousands of dollars in cash, law enforcement officials said.
The indictment and arrests are the product of a nine-month joint investigation (“Operation County Connection”) by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Nassau County Police Department (NCPD), with assistance from the Suffolk County Police Department, the New York City Police Department, and the U.S. Marshals Service, Eastern District of New York. The investigation was initiated, in part, in response to the increased rate of heroin use on Long Island.
