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 Bounty That Surrounds Us

When the Community Preservation Fund gets its well-earned accolades for the good it has done for the East End in the past quarter century, the focus often is on the preservation of land, keeping it from being developed and thus protecting the region from becoming too intensely suburban. Without question, that effort to maintain the region’s rural appeal is a significant, historic accomplishment. But sometimes we forget the importance of the CPF in keeping agriculture alive as a major contributor to the region’s agroeconomy, which has quality-of-life benefits of its own for both farmers and those who live among their ... by Editorial Board

East Quogue School District Budget of $32.3 Million on the Ballot Tuesday

The East Quogue School District will ask voters to approve the district’s proposed $32.3 million budget for the 2025-26 school year, which hikes spending by more than 5 percent but does not pierce the state tax cap. The proposed budget is a $1,578,988 increase in spending over the current school year’s budget, driven mostly by contractual salary hikes for staff and increasing costs of health insurance, rising tuition costs for students who attend the Westhampton Beach School District’s middle school and high school, and expanding the English language arts and science curriculum, according to the district’s budget documents.

Quogue School District Budget Proposal Is $10 Million

The Quogue School District has proposed a 2025-26 operating budget of just under $10.1 million that includes a 4.5 percent increase in spending and a 3.29 percent increase in the tax levy but remains within the state-mandated tax cap. The growth in spending is driven primarily by increases in the cost of health insurance premiums, busing costs and tuition for students who have graduated from the Quogue School and moved up to the Westhampton Beach School District’s middle school and high school. To cover the nearly $1 million in additional spending over the amount that the state tax cap would ... by Staff Writer
