While Hicksville's civic leaders have not made a decision for or against incorporation at this time, they are researching and weighing the pros and cons of village government.

The county's Democratic majority has proposed a law that would greatly enhance Megan's Law, placing residency restrictions on registered Level II and III - the most egregious - sex offenders. This law is an extension of legislation county lawmakers enacted which mandates the notification of moderate and high risk convicted sex offenders' whereabouts.

It was a soggy day. It was cloudy and overcast when we started the tournament. It started to rain lightly after about half the foursomes teed off. It only rained for a few minutes and we thought that we would dodge the bullet once more. Not so - about halfway through the tournament, the skies opened and it came down in buckets. We ran for the clubhouse to get out of the downpour. After about 20-25 minutes, it stopped and the sun even came out for a minute. We continued the game and most of the league was able to finish before it started to rain again. This time it was a light rain and the last three groups finished the round in the rain. FULL STORY
