I would like to thank all those who supported my candidacy for your confidence in me. I will certainly try very hard to make a difference.

Presently, I am in Paris to attend and celebrate the wedding of my son Adrian. Thus, I was not present for the oath of office ceremony held on Monday, July 1, on the steps of Village Hall.

Edward Simioni

The recent Palm Tree Music Festival, held on the grounds of the Shinnecock Nation, was an amazing success on every level, in spite of being a very last-minute change of venue from Gabreski Airport [“Shinnecock Nation Celebrates Smooth Handling of...
