Long Island Nano Cask Ale Festival     $40   January 26; 3 p.m.

The price may seem a little steep for this roundup, but for real beer enthusiasts, it's worth the ticket price because it includes a free tasting glass and unlimited samples of beer.

At The Corner of Who and What     $10  January 26; 8 p.m.

If auctions aren't your thing, head over to the Rose Theater on Lincoln Avenue in Holbrook tonight for "At the Corner of Who and What," to hear the music of Jacob Levesque joined by Brandi Smigiel.

Sachem Thunder 11U Baseball Tryouts     FREE   January 27; 10 a.m.

The taxpayers have spoken and it is not because they are being selfish. They are sending a messageRead More to the Sachem School Board, whose members have been complacent and out-of-touch for a long time. It is time they start making some TOUGH decisions that cut all the fat out of the budget. Sachem has been top-heavy with highly paid administrators for many years. Why not MERGE departments and eliminate some of these positions? Granted...Sachem is a large school district, but have you ever looked at how many directors, assistant superintendents, principals, assistant principals, administrators, assistant administrators, etc. we are paying for? Each one of these positions commands a salary of well over 100K per year...plus each one comes with a costly benefit package. Status Quo is no longer the way to go! Start negotiating better better contracts for all district services, including supplies, transportation and logistics. Major corporations do it...why shouldn't we? Taxpayers are not ATM's......ENOUGH. And, just as a side note...how much do the hundreds of "Vote Yes for the Budget" signs cost us?
