Syosset Week in Review: June 10-16

A curious car fire on the LIRR, a bus explosion, and a Stanley Cup for a Syosset native this week.

MTA police have charged Juanke Kimble Jr., 36 of Roosevelt, with aggravated unlawful operation of a motor vehicle after police and fire crews responded to a car fire on the LIRR tracks in Syosset Wednesday.

Long Island Railroad service was temporarily stopped Wednesday night after a car was found on fire and on the third rail, said Syosset Fire Department First Assistant Chief Pete Silver.

An unoccupied bus, disabled and under tow, burst into flames on the Long Island Expressway Tuesday evening, snarling traffic as Plainview firefighters put down the inferno.

The Plainview Fire Department responded to a fully involved bus fire just after 10 p.m. on the eastbound LIE at Sunnyside Boulevard in Plainview.

Jackson Avenue travelers got a blast from the past this week as construction crews returned to tie up one of the few remaining loose ends in the improvement project.

The Town is installing stamped concrete sidewalks at several intersections on Jackson Avenue just south of the LIRR crossing. According to a Town of Oyster Bay spokesperson, work is due to be finished by June 25 if weather permits.

Six burglaries were reported recently in Hicksville alone as a wave of crimes hit the area. Several other burglaries were reported in the area.

Syosset Resident Sheila Kastner was recently Honored for her volunteer work around Long Island at the 5th Annual Kidney and Urology Foundation's Hat & Author Luncheon at the Woodlands Mansion in Woodbury.

As we look ahead to November’s elections, Syosset Patch is joining sites across Long Island to bring you the information you need about every race in town.

It's safe to go back in the water, according to the Nassau County Health Department. 19 Nassau County beaches, including Roosevelt Beach & Park, Stehli Beach, and Tappen Beach were officially reopened Thursday after being closed for stormy weather.

The New York State Senate passed a bill, cosponsored by Sen. Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset) Tuesday that says if an inmate who was convicted of a crime against someone in your family or household is released from prison, the parole board must notify you.

It was a violent explosion that defined and decided Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, and a bloodied Rob Scuderi was right in the middle of it all.

Scuderi, a St. Anthony’s High School graduate and Syosset native, was clearing the puck from behind the Los Angeles Kings’ net Monday night when New Jersey’s Steve Bernier slammed Scuderi into the boards.

For instance, critical thinking is not about finding fault with people who make noise by using leafRead More blowers, but about an in-depth thinking of goals and values we will achieve by limiting their use. People could earn more quality life and peace of mind by having quiet time in the early morning and the late evening. The value of mental peace is regarded crucial in our life. Critical thinking gives us a process of thinking to get into the depth of the problem. It begins with an analysis of the situation (structure, background, or setting), in which the information of when, where, and who is identified. The information may help set up seasonal differences in restricting hours of leaf blower operation. Further thinking will lead critical thinkers to note the implication of the new ordinance to the business of licensed landscapers. Also, critical thinkers may think about the development of a soundproof leaf blowing machine. Critical thinking helps us to increase and share our common values, rather than tries to find faults with people who make problems.
