Superintendent of Highways Dan Losquadro Councilwoman Valerie Cartright Councilman Neil Foley with Holtsville Hal - Looks Like an Early Spring in Brookhaven Town

Superintendent of Highways Dan Losquadro Councilwoman Valerie Cartright Councilman Neil Foley and Holtsville Hal

Coram, NY – Suffolk County’s most famous weatherman did not disappoint. This morning at 7:25 a.m., before a crowd of nearly 350 spectators, Holtsville Hal awoke from his slumber and did not see his shadow, predicting an early spring for the Town of Brookhaven.

According to tradition, if a groundhog sees its shadow after emerging from his burrow on Groundhog Day, there will be six more weeks of winter weather; if not, spring should arrive early.

“Thankfully, after the past two winters, during which we saw record-breaking amounts of snow fall in Brookhaven, Hal has given us a sunny outlook for the remainder of the season,” said Daniel P. Losquadro, Superintendent of Highways. “With the exception of the approximately two feet of snow that fell in less than 24 hours last month, we have actually enjoyed a relatively mild winter thus far. If Hal’s prediction is accurate, hopefully we have seen the last of the snow this year.”

“I want to thank everyone who took the time to come out early this morning, including Councilwoman Valerie Cartright and Councilman Neil Foley, to take part in this fun, annual tradition,” Losquadro continued.

Holtsville Hal is just one of the more than 100 animals who call the Brookhaven Wildlife and Ecology Center Animal Preserve home. The center, which is open all year-round, includes a wildlife preserve, greenhouses, gardens, and jogging and exercise trails. For more information, visit www.brookhaven.org or call 631-758-9664.

Councilman Neil Foley Improving The Quality Of Life In The Medford and Patchogue Community

Brookhaven issues more than 40 citations for massage parlors in Patchogue and Medford

Newsday‎ - 14 hours ago
More news for Brookhaven Town has recently issued more than 40 code citations to business owners of massage parlors in Patchogue and Medford. Five of the locations were condemned by the town for various health and safety reasons.
 The investigation of these parlors began after Brookhaven Town Councilman Neil Foley’s office received tips regarding illegal businesses. 

 Those tips resulted in arrests this month by Suffolk County police. 
In recent days twelve people were arrested and charged with the illegal operation of massage parlors. 
Police said employees at the parlors were not properly licensed as massage therapists. “This is an issue that is very important to me and the residents of Patchogue and Medford. 
By closing down these illegal businesses, we have taken a big step to improve the quality of life in the community,” Foley said in a statement.

This Is Great Collaboration with SCPD

Councilman Neil Foley, SCPD and The Town Of Brookhaven Jointly Cracking Down On The Illegitimate Medford Patchogue Massage Parlors

LONG ISLAND ADVANCE 1-26-2016

Suffolk County Police Department and the Town of Brookhaven are jointly cracking down on the illegitimate massage parlors popping up on Route 112 in Patchogue and Medford, which have led to recent arrests. Also, a number of the establishments were shutdown due to code infringements by the town.

On Tuesday, Suffolk County police commissioner Timothy Sini hosted a press conference at the Fifth Precinct to announce the success. He said the operation was successful because of the hard work and collaboration of both the town and county.

“After receiving several complaints that prostitution was occurring at these locations we joined forces and took action,” he said.

A total of eight establishments advertised as foot spas and massage parlors on the Route 112 corridor were investigated.

Sgt. Colleen Cooney said earlier this month, Crime Section officers in the Fifth Precinct went under cover and received massages from 12 people who were not licensed. All 12 were arrested from eight establishments.

No acts of prostitution were offered to the officers at any of the locations at the time, Cooney said.

The following spas were investigated and the following were arrested for unauthorized practice of profession, a class E felony under the NYS Education Law.

The spas are: Relaxation Spa, Patchogue, Candy Foot Spa, Patchogue, Beautiful Spa, Patchogue, Complete Feet Spa, Medford, Sunshine Spa, Patchogue, Relaxation and Health Spa, Patchogue, Elim Spa, Patchogue, and Qugong Tui-Na, Medford. Those arrested were: Guisen Lu, 51 from California, Hong Liu, 43, from Flushing, Yinxue Zhang, 33 from Flushing, Boxuan Li, 27 from Flushing, Quian Zia, Flushing (two counts), Yun Lin, 42 from Flushing, Yueqin Song, 33 from Patchogue (two counts), Ping Li, 60 from Flushing, Yue Fen Xia, 52 from Bayside, Suling Lin, 52 from Flushing, Shunhua Wu, 57, from Flushing, and Yin Jin, 53 from Flushing.

Of those businesses, six received notification of building, fire and zonining code violations from the Town of Brookhaven with help from the fire marshal and building inspectors. Condemnations were posted and were deemed unfit for occupancy at Elim Spa, Beautiful Spa, Relaxation & Health Center, Sunshine Spa, Candy Foot Spa and Gigong Tui-Na.

Despite the charge and regardless of whether or not prostitution was or was not occurring at these establishments, the town’s goal was to just shut them all down.

Councilman Neil Foley recognized the seriousness of the issue after speaking with resident and secretary of the Medford Taxpayer and Civic Association Dayna Romano in late December. Immediately, he said, he met with her and Dave Moran, the deputy town attorney, to find a plan to eliminate the operations.

Within weeks, he explained, five were closed due to code infractions with the help of the town chief investigator and fire marshal.

The town officially wrote 41 appearance tickets and condemned six of the seven massage parlors given to them, the seventh was a legitimate operation. The remaining five, Moran explained, is currently being worked on with other precincts and one existed outside of town jurisdiction in Patchogue Village.

The problem, Legis. Rob Calarco (D-Patchogue) said, was that the parlors are showing up everywhere on Route 112 and have really taken off in the last year or so.

“They are popping up like wild fire,” he said.

At first, he explained, his office would report one to the SCPD and they would deal with it, one at a time. That worked for a while. But then after noticing so many, the SCPD issued a massive operation to crack down and clean up Rt. 112.

Over the past year, he explained, residents would notice spas opening up and not just your everyday spa, but spas that are noticeably different with the same generic posters and curtains covering the windows.

Operating without a license is a felony and is not good for neighboring businesses, he said. “It’s unfair to the legitimate business and needs to be cleaned up,” he added. “I’m glad the cops are doing what they should be and that they are putting extra pressure on these businesses preventing them from reopening.”

Romano said, these “businesses” bring down the value of the neighborhood and attract criminal elements that are unwanted.

“We are trying to build up the Patchogue-Medford community and these just bring it down,” she said.

She started noticing them over the summer after hearing residents complain. She said that she could tell just by looking at them that they were illegal.

“It’s obvious,” she said. “They try to pass themselves off as massage parlors but the storefronts have the doors and windows completely blocked out by curtains; it is a tell tall sign of illegal activity.”

Happy to hear about the crackdown, she said, she hopes it improves the neighborhood and the police stay on top of it. For now, she assured, she will be watching out for any type of business that looks illegal to set a tone that they are not welcome in this area.

Cooney said that the police would keep on top of the issue and hope that those who were arrested will learn and not make the same mistake twice.

“They are just fronts for prostitution existing in our neighborhoods,” said Calarco. “Our collaboration acts like a one-two punch to knock these entities out and we will continue to work together to make sure these [entities] don’t come back.”

Unfortunately, he explained, one or two individuals that continue to funnel the “girls” into the neighborhood most likely fund these operations. But, he said, with the county and town’s work a clear message will be sent.

Foley agreed, “we want to send a message that these operations will not be tolerated in the Patchogue-Medford community.”

Superintendent Losquadro and Councilman Neil Foley Announce First Brookhaven Highway Department Safety Day

Posted by SouthShorePress on September 8, 2015

Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and Councilman Neil Foley are working together to host an event that will improve motorists safety, instill safe bicycling habits in children and ensure participants have their child safety seats installed correctly. Many demonstrations and interactive displays from law enforcement and emergency services will be present. Just one example is pedalcars that will simulate the negative impacts of driving while intoxicated. Brookhaven Highway Safety Day is taking place Saturday, September 19th at Safety Town, located within the grounds of the Holtsville Ecology Site.
During the event, a car seat inspection will take place from 8 a.m. to noon, a bicycle rodeo will be held from noon to 3 p.m. and highway safety demonstrations will be performed from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. All events are free.
“This is a great opportunity for residents to learn about so many different aspects of traffic safety, ranging from the correct way to install a child car seat to just how dangerous texting and driving is,” said Superintendent Losquadro. “I want to thank everyone for working together and holding this event in the best interest of public safety.”
“One of the best things you can do for your family is make sure you get home safely,” said Councilman Neil Foley. “I strongly recommend residents participate in this event and listen to all of the advice being offered from the law enforcement and emergency services experts. It has been very gratifying working with Superintendent Losquadro to host this event for Brookhaven residents.”
Certified technicians from the EAC Network, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, Suffolk County Police Department and Brookhaven Highway Department will be on site to inspect car seats and provide parents with essential information about child passenger safety. Inspections are by appointment only.
During the Bicycle Safety Rodeo, instructors will teach children how to develop strong safety habits at a young age. Children who participate will get to use their bicycles within the miniature village located at Safety Town, where they can experience first-hand how to apply what they learn from instructors. Free bicycle helmets will be available for qualifying residents on a first come, first served basis. Participants must bring their own bikes.
Members of the Holtsville Fire Department, Suffolk County Police Department, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, Long Island ABATE and Empire State Motorcycle Safety Education Program will also conduct highway safety demonstrations and provide useful information. Through simulators, residents will be able to experience first-hand the dangers of texting and drinking and driving
