Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro recently awarded two local high school seniors with $500 Highway Superintendents Association scholarships.

The recipients—Leah Landron, a Newfield High School senior, and Jillian Ryan, a senior from Center Moriches High School—both plan to pursue careers in engineering and were selected as recipients of this year’s awards.

“I am always impressed by the quality of the applicants who apply for the Highway Superintendents Association scholarships. This year, for the first time, both recipients are young women,” said Superintendent Losquadro. “I wish them both all the best as they continue their educations and only hope they will return to Long Island to pursue their engineering careers and share their talents with us here where they will be needed and appreciated.”

Is There a New Ace in Town?

The New York Mets have a new ace, and fantasy owners have been accustomed to viewing Freddy Peralta as a near-ace for some time. The move to a more pitcher-friendly park should help, but do not overreach, because the reality is that the lineup around him is roughly the same and the bullpen is likely worse at protecting his leads. Peralta has been a standout for years, and slotting him in as a high-value fantasy arm is easy. The question is just how high he should go.
