Mastic Beach Village Vote Brings Out Entire Neighborhood
It's a little after 9 pm and we just returned from the Mastic Beach village vote at the firehouse on Neighborhood Road.
I was pleased to see the number of concerned citizens voting about the possible village. Whether the votes were yes or no, certainly everyone in the neighborhood cares about the future of Mastic Beach.
The line went around the firehouse with demonstrators out on the street encouraging citizens to vote yes or no. The police indicated people could not get on line after 9 PM. Even with that in mind, the vote is sure to go on until at least 10 pm at this point.
While we waited to vote about the potential Incorporated Village of Mastic Beach, we crossed paths with many neighbors and friends. The children compared school schedules and I made a date to meet a friend at the gym once the kids are back.
I look forward to hearing the results of the Mastic Beach Village vote and working together to build an ever better neighborhood. Right now, News 12 is saying the vote is too close to call...
According to my unofficial poll, 29 percent are against the Village of Mastic Beach and 71 percent are for it...

The Mastic Beach Village vote happens on August 31 between 12 noon and 9 pm at the Mastic Beach Fire House located at 265 Neighborhood Road in Mastic Beach.
Everyone is talking about the upcoming Mastic Beach village vote. What changes could an Incorporated Village of Mastic Beach bring to this community? As a Mastic Beach parent and homeowner for over a decade, it's a major concern for our family.
A drive through the area shows plenty of people are on both sides of the Mastic Beach Village vote issue. Signs promoting the Village and signs saying “no” to the Village are posted on lawns, common areas and at certain businesses.
A poll is posted to the right to see what people think of a possible Village of Mastic Beach. Take a minute to express your opinion.

Getting the facts is essential before casting your vote. Heated debates, peer pressure and fiery exchanges are no substitute for doing your own research. When the public is well-informed, the democratic process works best.

Blue Claw Crab Festival in Mastic Beach and Mastic Beach Village Vote on August 31
We stopped by the annual Blue Claw Crab Festival at the marina in Mastic Beach. Last night I forgot about the Festival with the hectic pace of back-to-school. Riding by the beach and seeing all the signs, fencing and stands reminded us to pay a visit today!
Our waterfront marinas and beaches are beautiful. It makes you sad to realize there is less than a week of summer vacation left with school back in swing on September 3...
But then there's still Labor Day weekend! Enjoy the rest of summer in Mastic Beach and don't forget to vote yes or no to a possible Village of Mastic Beach on August 31 at the Mastic Beach firehouse on Neighborhood Road between noon and 9 pm.

Fourth of July in Mastic Beach
Between summer camp for the kids and the summer reading club at the library, we haven't had a dull moment! We realized we are free to have fun this weekend for Fourth of July!
Did you notice the rebuilding of the beach at the end of Washington? The new barriers should keep the beach and water where it belongs. It's a perfect oasis for some time out!
Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Fire At Shirley Family Dollar
I was shocked to see our local Shirley Family Dollar on Channel 12 News earlier. I immediately visited Newsday online to find out more.
It seems electrical sparks came from the ceiling, igniting a clothes at the Family Dollar in Shirley, New York. The fire started at about 7:45 AM on Monday April 26. Nobody was injured. Smoke spread through The Green shopping plaza on William Floyd Parkway. The local Mastic fire department was on the scene immediately.
I wonder if the Family Dollar will be closed for awhile? We love the Family Dollar and get everything from kitchen essentials to home decor to t-shirts there. I hope the Family Dollar and neighboring stores will be back in business right away.
