West Babylon Senior Award Scholarship by Island Federal Credit Union

Island FCU has awarded Joseph Molinari a $1,000 scholarship.

Joseph Molinari, a West Babylon High School senior, was one of 20 students presented with a $1,000 scholarship on Monday during a special ceremony at the Hauppauge headquarters of Island Federal Credit Union.

Island FCU awarded a total of $20,000 in scholarships to high school seniors looking to continue their education. The scholarship program is open to any Long Island senior who is or becomes a member and has been accepted into a program of full-time undergraduate study as a freshman. Membership in Island FCU is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Nassau or Suffolk counties, with the exception of the townships of East Hampton, Southampton and Shelter Island.

 “We at Island Federal Credit Union take great pleasure in helping our young members continue their education and pursue their personal goals in life,” said Bret W. Sears, President/CEO of Island Federal Credit Union.

“Island realizes how important it is for our young people to get a good start on their futures, especially in these trying times, and this program helps make that possible.”

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
