A $50,000 state grant secured by Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano went a long way in funding a new public safety vehicle for the Village of Bellport. The Assemblyman, center, met with Don Mullins, Director of Code Enforcement for the village, and Mayor Maureen Veitch on Monday to check out the new ride. They also discussed issues and programs in the surrounding community and how they can become good partners in government to ensure that Bellport Village continues to prosper. “We both care about the constituents we represent,” the Assemblyman said. “I believe we will be able to build a great working relationship.”

They also talked about the need to support local businesses and how they both enjoyed the Bellport Chamber of Commerce’s soup competition last week. Photo courtesy of Assemblyman DeStefano’s office.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
