Salvatore Michel Miglio of Southampton died July 20 at St. Francis Hospital. He was 83.

Born on September 16, 1932, in Brooklyn, to Annarella Ferrara Miglio and Domenico Miglio, both from Naples, Italy, he was the husband of Marilyn (Poling) Miglio, to whom he was married for more than 60 years. He was a resident of Manhasset for more than 50 years and a parishioner of St. Mary’s R.C. Church.

A real estate developer on Long Island and New York City, he was active in the Republican Party and local political campaigns, and he was the former commissioner of human rights for Nassau County for 25 years. He founded and conducted the Christmas Bail-out Program at the Nassau County Jail for 25 years. He also established a school 35 years ago in Haiti (Operation Reach-out Haiti), in memory of his son Domenic Miglio, which, to this day, feeds and educates more than a thousand Haitian students, some of them orphans. In addition, he built a library at Our Lady of Grace Montessori School in Manhasset, also in memory of his son.

When his children were growing up, he enjoyed going clamming with them and taking them for boat rides in his Browning speedboat in Little Peconic Bay. He also enjoyed taking them to Italy and France during the summer.

Survivors said he will be most remembered for his unending love of family, humanity, and, especially, all children.

He is survived by his wife, Marilyn Miglio; children, Dina Rojas, Grace Pearce, Sally Doulton and Richard; grandchildren, Emily, Edward and William Rojas, Emma Pearce, Ryan, Aidan, Domenic and Dylan Miglio, Paul and Dawn Banach; sons-in-law, Edward Rojas, Matt Pearce and Fred Doulton; sisters, Ida Arbucci and Sadie Paciullo; sisters-in-law, Marie Miglio, Mae Tucillo, Arlene D’Arienzo, and Lucille Tymann; and brothers-in-law, Nicholas D’Arienzo and Tom Tymann

He was predeceased by his son, Domenic Miglio; and several brothers and sisters.

Visitation was at Fairchild Sons Funeral Chapel in Manhasset on July 22. A funeral Mass took place at Saint Mary’s R.C. Church on July 23.

The Bus Test

Social media was abuzz last week with a report: An unmarked bus was dropping off adult men in the parking lot of the Macy’s shopping plaza in Hampton Bays. Speculation was rampant, and it largely followed a national narrative about an “invasion” of immigrants ending up in American communities. In fact, there’s little information on what the bus (or buses — there likely were others) was doing. It might have been seasonal workers arriving for the season, but it could have been something innocuous, like a private bus trip returning home.

Terrible Optics

Westhampton Beach Village officials and Police Chief Steven McManus need a lesson in optics. The revelation last week that a body camera video recorded during the investigation of an off-duty Village Police officer who rolled his truck during a single-car accident in November 2021 was not released to the public for close to a year, despite numerous requests from The Press that went unanswered for seven months, sends the wrong signal about the village’s commitment to keeping the public informed. It was only after a request from an attorney on behalf of The Press that a copy of the video ... by Editorial Board

A Costly Hire

Permitting public employees to collect a six-figure pension while simultaneously collecting a six-figure salary is one of the reasons why New York is such a high-tax state. Though the Village of Southampton took it a step further: It wasn’t enough for the new village administrator to receive a $165,000 salary on top of a $120,000 New York Police Department pension — the Village Board just gave Administrator Anthony Carter a $50,000 pay bump, retroactive to when he started in November, in lieu of receiving village health insurance and other benefits.

State Sets Aside Funding for Affordable Housing at College Campus

The State Legislature on April 22 approved Governor Kathy Hochul’s request for $600 million in funding for several affordable housing programs, including one that would permit the construction of such units on the Stony Brook Southampton campus. But the celebration has to be put on hold for now, according to Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., because a related bill that would authorize the actual expenditure of the allocated funds has yet to pass. Thiele said he was optimistic that authorization bill could be passed before the end of the session on June 6. “The legislature had a lot of questions,” ... by Stephen J. Kotz
