Yesterday, Nassau County paid farewell to one of its finest. By all accounts, Highway Patrolman…Read More Joseph Olivieri was a cop's cop who made his family, his friends and his beloved department proud. All to often in today's fast past world we loose sight of the dedicated, tireless and vigilant service preformed by Nassau County's Finest. All to often the inherent dangers of the job surface and there are times when even one of the Finest falls. Let us remember this good mans sacrifice and for his commitment to put the safety and security of others first. Rest in peace Officer Olivieri. May God Bless you and provide comfort to all those suffering by your passing.

Don't you conspiracy theorists think that a cops kid (Mr.Ryan) would be the one avioiding…Read More prosecution if all these scary theories you say are true???????? Did you miss that in the article?? I do agree--the Escalade should be looked into--but how do you know it wasn't????
Leave the law to the professionals. The lawyers make it entertaining enough. A police officer was killed performing his duties. I can promise you any and every avenue was checked and double checked, especially because of an officers death.

Yes this absolutely REEKS of politics and cover up.
Did the driver of the Cadillac escalade give a…Read More blood sample?? Why not?? They killed a police officer after all.
Oh wait, I forgot, there was someone in the vicinity with a BAC of .09
An easy target for political gain. An easy scapegoat to get the connected Cadillac driver off the hook.
Maybe a fundraiser for mr Ryan's defense is in order.
We can't allow witch hunters to prevail. Not in the 21st century.
And a special investigation should be conducted to determine why the Cadillac Escalade is not being held accountable for their actions.

FATHER TRENCH WAS A LONG TIME FRIEND TO US ALL IN THE PENDL FAMILY. BACK IN THE LATE FIFTIES HE WAS…Read More AN ACTIVE FIRE-FIGHTER IN THE VILLAGE OF BETHPAGE. UNDER THE TUTILEDGE OF THE CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT HE WENT FROM 'PROBIE' TO FULL FLEDGED FIRE -FIGHTER AND SERVED AS OUR CHAPLIN WHEN HE WAS CALLED UPON. FRANCIS X. PENDL BECAME HIS CHIEF AS THE YEARS PASSED AND WE BECAME GREAT FRIENDS. HIS TRANSFER TO NCMC, OUR COUNTY HOSPITAL, AS CHAPLIN SADDENED US. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT OUR SON AS AN INFANT PATIENT IN THE HOSPITAL WOULD NEED HIS DAILY VISITS AN EVENTUALLY, FATHER CONFIRMED HIM WHEN HE WAS NEAR DEATH. FORTUNATELY, WITH GOD AND FATHER TRENCH LOOKING AFTER HIM HE SURVIVED. WE, AS A LARGE FAMILY, LOOK BACK ON THE MANY TIMES WE CALLED ON HIM. .....IN APRIL, 2004 DURING HOLY WEEK, THE CHILDREN AGAIN TURNED TO HIM TO MINISTER TO THIS FAMILY OF TWELVE LOVING CHILDREN WHO JUST LOST THEIR FATHER. CHIEF PENDL WAS FATHERS FRIEND AND FATHER DID NOT HESITATE COMING BACK TO BETHPAGE TO BE WITH US ALL. IN THE YEARS SINCE CHIEF PENDL LEFT US......WE DID CORRESPOND WITH FATHER OUT IN SUFFOLK COUNTY.....NEVER DID WE BELIEVE, THERE WOULD BE A TIME, THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TALK TO HIM AGAIN. THAT TIME HAS COME, HE IS GONE TO A BETTER PLACE. GOD REST HIS SOUL..FONDLY THE ENTIRE PENDL FAMILY

Msgr. Trench was at St Ignatius Martyr in Long Beach for a while. He was also much loved there.…Read More However, it was at Sacred Hearts where I had most opportunity to know him. The renovation of Sacred Hearts was beautiful. His homilies were warm, funny and poignant. He would leave the altar and walk through the Church while talking, making eye contact and reaching out to people. Msgr Trench made a family of a parish that has multi-millionaires and migrant workers, year round residents and seasonal residents, historic families and new arrivals. Everyone felt welcome and included. He was also very conscious of the history of the church in Southampton and how important it was to the community. He personal gifts were rare. May he rest in peace.

Ed grew up on S. Center Av in Rockville Centre across the street from the Defender Hose Company fire…Read More house where he "lived" starting at a very young age - suppose this started his affiliation with fire departments wherever his church duties placed him. My fathers family grew up across the street. My uncle and his family were and remained close to Ed thru their fire department associations. Based on the few times I was able to meet Ed he was the down to earth type of a person you would expect of a priest and a man.

When I was about to buy my first computer, PCs had flickering letter and numbers. I didn't have a…Read More clue as to how I might work it. But the little Mac had a device to make the icons 'do' things. This I could understand. That was almost 25 years ago. I've been devoted to Mac products since --- iMac, iPad, iPhone. Steve Jobs was an incredible visionary who changed the way we work, the way we think and the way we interact with each other.

I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy.

Tom- Yes we remember those tapes he a room just to watch them..LOL.. Thank you anyways!! Again…Read More thank you for your kind words and if you are still in town in June hopefully you might be able to make a fundraising event that is being held in his honor. Thank you again!!
Tom March 2, 2012 at 02:14 pm
Kathleen-As I recall, Mr. Bigelow had to re-use the tapes. You may be a little too young to…Read More remember, but back then, I think the videotape was still on reels. The Betamax-VHS cassette standard was still to be resolved (as was men's fashion, e.g., leisure suits and quiana). I think he was given a reel from the AV office (Mr. Schwartz).
If it's any consolation, the quality wasn't that great. The recording was black and white and was taken from the bleachers, and the camera work was probably mediocre, at best. I hasten to add, however, that if Mr. Bigelow ever thought the tape was sub-par, he never said a word. He always encouraged me and thanked me for my efforts. He was a really good person.
All the best to you and your family.
Kathleen Fink March 2, 2012 at 03:36 am
Thank you Tom for your condolences and kind words. We always knew Dad was an amazing person. He…Read More helped and touched some many people.

I'm a retired NYPD Captain and sometimes I had the pleasure of supervising great cops like Geof.…Read More Subsequent to my own induction into the NYPD Honor Legion, I met a lot more great guys - like Geof. I didn't have the opportunity to know Geof, but I knew many like him, i.e. I knew the type. Just couldn't stop serving and helping others via public, uniformed service. God bless his family; he'll be missed! Dukes2352@AOL.com

For everything he did we should be grateful. Under the watch of these brave men, Children can play…Read More safely without any worries. Kindness should be in each of our hearts for his service to his country. Tomorrow, i hope everything goes well for geoff's family; He will be truly missed. Everyone could learn a lesson from such a brave man doing his duty. Probably too late to say, but we should look at the true service he provided to us and paid the ultimate price. Out of deep respect for him and Love, I Cannot Express how deep my condolences are.
