New year’s Eve was a day for the Shelter Island Town Board to celebrate two public servants one who chose to retire and the other who will continue serving in other capacities, but no longer as a Justice Court judge.
State Senator Kenneth LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) and Judge Helen Rosenblum who has long served the town, initially as town attorney and later on the Justice Court bench were saluted for their years of contributions to Shelter Island.
Supervisor Gerry Siller called the presentation of proclamations to the two public officials “bittersweet,” noting the intent was to celebrate the two in person, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced virtual presentations via Zoom.
