H.E.R.O.E.S. Program Announced maximize effectiveness in the area of veterans services. Understanding, pro-actively identifying and applying innovative methods to support and assist veterans in a variety of ways is the most effective way of ensuring they have access to the tools for success that they have earned and so richly deserve. Last month, County Executive Bellone announced the creation of a Veterans Docket Day to offer honorably discharged or current veterans who have traffic, parking or red light camera citations pending before TPVA to participate in a special conference with a prosecutor. These conferences are held prior to the general public and will be provided a lengthier time to understand in greater detail the circumstances involving each case. Veterans receive consideration based upon their military status, medical status, and their financial situation. This may include those dealing with post-transition issues such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In partnership with EAC Network, the Suffolk County Police Department and Stony Brook University Hospital, Suffolk County TPVA offers a number of diversion programs have proven to be highly successful in reducing unsafe driving. Diversion programs are offered to defendants who have certain charges or who are in jeopardy of losing their license. These programs seek to modify driving behaviors and return a safer driver to the road. Each of the four programs offer violation specific education, instruction and use “Reality Based” presentations aimed at modifying the behavior that brought the defendant to traffic court.

The H.E.R.O.E.S. combines each of these four programs into one full day of education that also includes a New York State Defensive Driving Program. In the last two years, over 2,500 people have attended one of the TPVA’s diversion programs, and only nine people have returned to Traffic Court with a new traffic violation. Drive Safe Program TPVA offers a Drive Safe Program for individuals who are speeding, failing to follow seat belt laws and for districted while driving. The three-hour program discusses responsibility, the motorists’ actions and consequences of these actions. Included in this program are presentations by a SCPD Highway Patrol Officer; Dr. James A. Vosswinkle, Chief Trauma, Emergency Surgery and Surgical Critical Care doctor at Stony Brook University Hospital; health Educators, an attorney and a Judge. Topics include, but will not be limited to the judiciary system and occupant protection, which include seat belt use, excessive speed,m passenger distraction, cell phone usage, text messaging, loud music, night driving, peer pressure, overconfidence and other issues impacting young, inexperienced drivers. This program is offered as part of a Pre-Plea. The original charge may be reduced and/or points may be reduced based on their participation in the program including a Pre- andPost-quiz. The participants also receive handouts to take home that are available in English and Spanish. After completion of the program, participants receive a certificate of completion and staff will submit a class update, including their scores, to TPVA. Distracted Driver Program

According to NYS GTSC, any time a driver’s attention is drawn away from the task of driving in a safe and defensive manner, it can be labeled as distracted driving. These distractions can be personal, external or internal. Personal distractions can occur when the driver is impaired by daydreaming, alcohol, drugs, fatigue or unsafe practices like reading, writing, shaving, applying makeup or using electronic devices such as computers, cell phones, iPods or GPS navigation systems. Internal distractions occur inside the car, caused by passengers, animals or objects inside the vehicle. External distractions occur outside the car like other motorists, inclement weather, deteriorated road conditions, or even the scenery. SCOPE Second Chances in Occupant Protection for Everyone Program According to New York State law, motorists who receive a citation for not having their child properly restrained in a motor vehicle - either by using a Child Safety restraint or seat belt - have the option to voluntarily attend a threehour diversion program. The Second Chances in Occupant Protection for Everyone program, or SCOPE, is an educational class, for parents and caregivers focusing on misuses and injury prevention. The structure of this class is designed to improve the use of safety restraints for all motor vehicle occupants and promote safer driving practices through education on topics such as seat belt safety, seat belt laws, airbag impact, proper installation and use of child passenger safety restraints. As part of a pre-plea, participants voluntarily agree

to enroll and complete this program. The Initial charge may be reduced and/or points may be reduced based on the individual’s participation in the program including a Pre and Post-quiz. The participants also receive handouts to take home (available in English and Spanish). After the individual completes the program, they receive a certificate of completion and the EAC staff will then submit to TPVA the attendance sheet, a class update including participation as well as the scores. If the individual needs a seat and meet the eligibility requirements, they will be referred to our SAFETSTART distribution program. Unlicensed/Improperly Licensed Driver Program EAC and TPVA have jointly developed an eighthour program that provides education and risk awareness to motorists charged with the unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. This program includes a six-hour drivers safety course that is approved by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. Regardless if an individual possesses a license, every participant that completes this program will receive a certificate issued by American Safety INC. Participants are also introduced to a Suffolk County Police Officer who will speak to the participants about operating a vehicle without a license and law enforcement’s role. This program includes a presentation from an attorney who provides a brief overview of legal representation. Participants are also introduced to the MV-44.1 and MV 44 DMV forms – otherwise known as Proof of Identity and the application for Permit, Driver’s License and Non– Driver ID Card, respectively.

Some participants may even be eligible to apply for a Non– drivers ID card or a license and are directed to review the information and go to their local DMV office. Through a specialized conference offered for veterans in the H.E.R.O.E.S. program, participants will spend more time being heard, with an anticipated 10-15 minutes being allowed for each conference with a prosecutor. The goal of the Veterans Traffic Court ultimately is to provide and facilitate a complete avenue of reform and assistance. This program differs from a drug courts within a criminal court venue as the Traffic Court’s program will help resolve infractions which may be the underlying cause of the criminal charge, i.e. aggravated unlicensed operation “VTL Section 511.” If a motorist is ticketed for an Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor vehicle, the motorist is suspended due to unpaid or unanswered tickets, in many cases, those tickets are under the jurisdiction of the Traffic Court. There are no additional costs to the public to implement this program. For more information on the Veterans Traffic Court H.E.R.O.E.S. program, contact Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency at www.suffolkcountyny.gov or by phone at 631.853.3930.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone recently announced the Help Enable Recovery and Offer Enhanced Safety, or H.E.R.O.E.S. program, as the latest addition to the first-in-the-nation Suffolk County Veterans Traffic Court. The court is the latest innovation established under the purview of the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency, or TPVA in conjunction with the Suffolk County Veterans Services Agency. “Whether on the local, state or federal level, we owe it to our veterans to aid them in every way possible during their transition back into civilian life and beyond,” said Suffolk County Executive Bellone. “This program will make real change for veterans by providing them with the help and direction that they need to maintain their overall independence and contribute to the society they fought to protect.” Paul Margiotta, Director of the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency, said “The debt owed to veterans can never be repaid. This small gesture by the Agency is to offer veterans personalized services that both provide assistance to our service men and women and safe driver training.” Thomas Ronayne, Director of the Suffolk County Veterans Services Agency (VSA), said: Suffolk County’s commitment to our veterans is long standing and undeniable. Under County Executive Bellone’s leadership that commitment has continued to grow in meaningful and innovative ways. The collaboration between TPVA and VSA is a shining example of how governments, at all levels, can refine governmental operations to

A story about bringing family

together!

My Little Corner of LI

By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

Much has been written about the expense of living on Long Island, especially for us young-ish folk who have only recently set out on our own, away from the comfy confines of our childhood homes. I know plenty of fellow Lindy friends who have moved across the country upon graduating, precisely for this reason; however, just as many remain in the area, toughing out life on LI. Our mission: to make ends meet so as not to be forced to flee this island oasis that we call home. Sure, you may indeed get more for your money elsewhere; but where else can you be equidistant from the great landmarks of Manhattan and the beautiful beaches of Montauk? A mere vacation getaway for some, we are fortunate to reside here year round, through all four seasons of splendor. In that sense, there

are some perks you simply can’t put a price on. As often as I think I am paying way too much to live in my one bedroom apartment, when I take a look at the pristine grounds surrounding me, I realize I wouldn’t have it any other way. Nearly five years later, my little haven is quite completely furnished, and I have accumulated enough seasonal decor to last a lifetime, maybe two. Closet space… well, that’s another matter entirely. To think I have managed to fill every square inch of available storage in such a short span of time; well, it’s really pretty impressive (said she sheepishly). First item on the autumn “To Do” list: purge those closets, drawers and unreachable shelves of anything unnecessary. Consolidate, donate; whatever it takes to create a little more

breathing room. And stay away from those sales, more importantly, or we’ll be right back in the same boat a few months down the line. Perhaps my favorite space of all, though, is my little outdoor deck. While the view consists mainly of a parking lot and other surrounding apartments, I have made it my mission to fill the area with plants in every corner, twinkly white lights, solar garden ornaments - and of course my aqua-colored Adirondack chairs, the perfect accessory for all seasons. Many a summer day has been spent lounging here, listening to the sounds of birds chirping in the nearby tree, squirrels scurrying to and fro and watching the sun’s glow rise and fall as the hours pass. Living on Long Island… it ain’t for everyone, to be sure but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

screening tests. To date over 3,000 men have been screened at Cruizin’ For A Cure car shows and 148 of them with elevated PSA readings have been referred to their physicians for follow-up. “Last year 345 free PSA screening tests were conducted. Once again we plan to make a concerted effort to encourage men to take advantage of the free screening test. It will be a fabulous day with exhibitors, a KIDS FUN ZONE, entertainment, vendors and sponsors. This will be our first year at the 1400 Old Country location, a slightly smaller location but vehicles will be parked on cement rather than dirt – a plus for the show participants. “Our volunteers, many of whom are Prostate Cancer survivors like me, are finalizing plans for a show that will delight people of all ages. The show’s popularity has been sustained because it offers something for everyone, not just car enthusiasts,” said Sandy Kane, Chair and Founder of LI Cruizin’ For A Cure Car Show. The September 10 car show promises to be a fun-filled family-friendly day. For car collectors and vehicle enthusiasts it’s all about rods, customs, muscle and classic cars, specialty vehicles, antique fire apparatus and motorcycles. Look for the 50/50 raffle; an expanded food court and much more. Admission is $5; kids under 12 are free.

Movie Thursdays at Premm Learning Center offer more than entertainment for students. The entire exercise simulates the experience of visiting a movie theater, giving students the opportunity to practice good communication skills. Premm is an Eastern Suffolk BOCES school that provides special education services to students with special needs. Each Thursday afternoon, the school shows two movies

and students take turns functioning as ushers, ticket takers, and concession stand operators. When attendees arrive at the “theater,” they use appropriate communication to request the movie of their choice. They receive a movie ticket and fake money to purchase a snack before proceeding to the concession stand. Next, theatregoers give their movie tickets to the

ushers before entering the classrooms where the movies are being shown. To communicate, students may verbalize what they want, gesture or use an augmentative device. Said Sandra Pensak, summer principal at Premm, “This weekly event allows students to practice life skills and communicating with others in a situation that depicts the real world.”

Service Officer of the Year

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone congratulated Suffolk County Veterans Service Officer and Coram native William “Bill” Rodriguez for being awarded the prestigious 2017 Service Officer of the Year. The annual award recognizes outstanding Veterans Service Agency Service Officers for their exemplary commitment to helping armed forces veterans gain access to various medical and social services. Officer Rodriguez has been employed as a Suffolk County Veterans Service Officer for over 15 years, where he serves as a liaison to the New York State Department of Labor and the Department of Social Services. “Officer Rodriguez has dedicated over 15 years in fighting for veterans to ensure they have the

The award is to “recognize excellence and achievement in Americanism, defense, rehabilitation, congressional service and other fields.” Harold Chapman served in the Air Force during the Vietman War. When he came back to the United States he became active in his local AMVETs Post in East Islip. He rose through the ranks of AMVETs to the level of Commander of Post 18 in East Islip,

and eventually he became Commander of the national organization. During his service to the AMVETs he has worked tirelessly to ensure every American Veteran was included, remembered and assisted throughout, dedicating himself to veterans all over the nation. “I am very thankful for Harold Chapman’s sacrificial service to our Country, and his service rendered to our veterans since he has returned,” said Legislator Kennedy. “Harold performed his duties as National Commander of AMVETs flawlessly.”

there! We are happy to sea you!’ Hats were crafted from construction paper, crayons, magic markers, and plastic googly eyes to resemble lobsters, crabs, and sharks. Disney characters like Ariel were cut out of their coloring books and attached to hats. The projects provided an opportunity for the students to use their fine motor skills; cutting, using scissors, and gluing, which strengthens hand and finger muscles. Students and staff wore the hats at the parade. A parade was the culminating activity and a celebration of all they learned. Students lined up in their classroom in

a safe, quiet, and orderly fashion, then they took turns exiting the class and paraded down the hallway. Premm doesn’t have a marching band so Music Teacher Mr. Zaros did the next best thing; he chose Under the Sea-themed music like Octopus’s Garden by the Beatles and Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin to accompany the parade. The parade concluded in the multi-purpose room. Zaros scattered an assortment of instruments such as drums, triangles, and maracas and multicolored ribbons around the room to encourage the students to socialize, move freely, and dance.

Walking for Awareness event. Doctors, nurses and staff members from Northwell Health’s Brain Aneurysm Center will also be on hand to show their support for the many patients they have treated over the years. Among those who will be attending are David Chalif, MD, and Avi Setton, MD, co-directors of Northwell Health’s Brain Aneurysm Center. “One of the goals of this annual event is to increase awareness about the warning signs of a brain aneurysm,” said Dr. Chalif. “The symptoms can include severe headache, nausea, blurred or double vision, stiff neck or neck pain, pain above or behind the eye and loss of sensation.” Four years ago, Ms. Bongiorno experienced severe headaches and knew at the time that it could be a sign of a brain aneurysm. Her mother passed away of a brain aneurysm when Ms. Bongiorno was a toddler. Family members told Ms. Bongiorno that

her mother complained of severe headaches prior to the fatal aneurysm. Decades later, when Ms. Bongiorno started to experience headaches herself, she knew that she should get screened. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed a brain aneurysm, and while it was small and would normally be left alone to be monitored over time, she was told to see a specialist because of her family history. Upon reviewing the MRI scan, Dr. Chalif explained that due to her family history, the aneurysm should be closely monitored for any changes in development. Ms. Bongiorno went for annual follow-ups over the next few years, but it wasn’t until August 2016 when growth was detected through a computed axial tomography (CAT) scan. Dr. Chalif clipped the aneurysm, cutting off blood flow to the artery in an October 2016 procedure. Clipping a brain

aneurysm is a surgical procedure performed on both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. The neurosurgeon works through a small opening in the skull, and once the aneurysm is located with the operating microscope, the neurosurgeon eliminates blood flow by placing a clip across the aneurysm’s base – allowing blood to flow normally elsewhere in the brain. Ms. Bongiorno has no neurological deficits from the surgery and has since encouraged her own children, ages 19 and 21, to also get screened. Family history also led Ms. Smith to get screened. Her sister died from a brain aneurysm nearly two decades ago. This past summer, Ms. Smith’s primary care physician recommended she get screened due to family history. A magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) was performed, which revealed a brain aneurysm. She was referred to Dr. Chalif, and upon

reviewing the MRA images, Dr. Chalif said she was a good candidate to receive endovascular treatment with coils and a stent – another, more minimally invasive procedure to treat the brain aneurysm. Ms. Smith underwent an endovascular coiling and stenting procedure in January, performed by Dr. Setton. Coiling a brain aneurysm requires the insertion of a catheter into the femoral artery in the leg, which is then navigated through the blood vessels into the brain where the aneurysm is located. Soft platinum coils and a stent are inserted through the catheter and deployed in the aneurysm. The coils conform to the shape of the aneurysm, fill the sac and block blood flow to the aneurysm to prevent the aneurysm from rupturing. “Approximately 5 percent of brain aneurysms are linked to a family history,” said Dr. Chalif. “But due to the decisive actions of Ms. Bongiorno and Ms. Smith seeking medical

attention because of their family history, their lives were saved due to early detection. By sharing their stories at our walk this year, they will undoubtedly help us spread awareness about the warning signs of a brain aneurysm and the importance of getting screened if you have a family history. We are extremely grateful to both of them and they should be commended for their extraordinary courage and strength.” Registration for the walk begins at 8:30 a.m. at Jones Beach State Park, Field 5, 1000 Ocean Parkway, Wantagh, NY. The start time is 10 a.m. and the event will be held rain or shine. The registration fee is $25 through September 9, $30 afterward. Entry fee includes the cost of parking and snacks. T-shirts will be handed out on a firstcome, first-serve basis. To pre-register for the walk, click here.

Brew to Moo On August 1st, Supervisor Ed Romaine, Councilman Neil Foley and Councilman Dan Panico held a press conference at the BrickHouse Brewery in Patchogue to announce the launch of the Town’s “Brew to Moo” program which is aimed to reduce the amount of local brewery by-product in our

waste stream. Local breweries and distilleries produce tons of spent grains which have reduced caloric content but provide protein and fiber that can supplement corn for feed. The Town of Brookhaven will regularly pick up the spent grains and deliver it to farms and ranches to be used as feed

Neighbor Pets’ Place

for their animals. The first ranch to sign on to the program is the Double D Bar Ranch in Manorville. Using spent grains for livestock feed dates back to the advent of beer, and with corn and other commodity prices rising, the use of brewery by-products is growing.

Best in the Northeast LIU Post was rated for the first time in the school’s history by The Princeton Review as one of the “Best in the Northeast” for 2017. LIU Post was rated as one of the top Northeast universities by The Princeton Review. According to The Princeton Review, the colleges on its lists are those “that we consider academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search.” “LIU Post is proud to be rated by Princeton Review as one of the best universities in the Northeast,” LIU President Dr. Kimberly R. Cline said. “This is an important milestone on the

continued upward trajectory of our University. LIU Post’s distinguished faculty offers students a world-class education with a focus on experiential learning that prepares them for success.” The Princeton Review selected universities for their prestigious list based on academics, staff visits, and 137,000 student surveys. As part of its rating process, The Princeton Review conducts anonymous student surveys to get unfiltered student views. LIU Post students surveyed said that LIU Post is a school that’s brimming with “opportunities to further your educational

experience.” Academically, undergrads benefit from “personalized attention” and “individualized instruction” as well as a “wide range” of course selection. LIU Post students surveyed also describe the student body as “hardworking, helpful, intelligent, [and] creative.” They also tend to be “very friendly.” And another individual adds, “Walking through campus you constantly see familiar faces, and there is always someone willing to talk to you. It [is] effortless to spark a conversation with someone on the Starbucks line about an upcoming event.” LIU Post

undergrads are also incredibly “dedicated” and are always looking “to get involved on campus.” In terms of Campus Life, The Princeton Review notes, students are active in “athletics and intramural[s].” And many undergrads can also be found using the university’s fantastic gym facilities. Additionally, “sororities and fraternities are very popular.” “During the late spring and early fall, students love to go up the Patio of Hillwood Commons to lay out on the lounge chairs and soak up some sun.” Finally, undergrads here appreciate how “accessible”

New York City is for them. Any time they want to experience the excitement of the city, students can simply hop on a train and be there in no time! And students proudly report that “everyone generally gets along well with one another.” As one impressed undergrad illustrates, “Athletes not only respect those who are not involved in athletics, but also study, hangout, and participate in extracurricular activities with each other, and vice versa. [Conversely,] those [who are] not on a sports team often come and support the athletes in their games and competitions.” The LIU Post College of

Management has been rated by The Princeton Review as a “Best Business School” for the past 15 years. LIU has also been hailed by Forbes as one of 10 “Hot Colleges in the Making Under Innovative Management,” honored by US News and World Report as a Top Regional University, and recognized by the Equality of Opportunity Project as one of the top 20 selective private colleges on the “Overall Mobility Index.”

Summer Program

Award winner guided the Cyclones to two state championships, three Long Island championships and four county championships in her time there since 2010. Ms. McEntee received her Bachelor of Science degree in physical education and health education from Adelphi University where she then went on to complete her master’s degree in health education. She completed the educational administrative program through Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and the athletic administrative certification program through American Military University.

Doodle Bob, a hamster, and Ziggy, a gerbil, are very appreciative of the attention and care they are receiving from the students who tend to their needs four times a week, over the summer, in the Animal Science Program at the Academy at Bixhorn Technical Center. First year students in the Animal Science Program who planned on returning as second year students, were given the opportunity to participate in a paid summer internship. In NEW P.E.

students had to meet a set of criteria. They had to provide their own transportation, work three hours a day, twice a week, and not have any conflicts with the two-day schedule. After completing the application process and interviews with Work Experience Coordinator Rosaria Broesler, Abby Brown, from Sayville UFSD, Nadia Trejo, from Sachem CSD, Cole Thomson, from Connetquot CSD, and Sarah Meisner, from Sachem CSD, were hired. The students work either Monday and Friday or

Wednesday and Saturday. Ms. Vicky Greco supervises the students over the summer. She said, “It’s important to have someone here to check on and take care of the animals. These students are really great. They are applying the skills they learned throughout the school year.” Their responsibilities include cleaning the cages, feeding the animals, checking their teeth and coats, and playing with and interacting with them as well. Sarah said, “It’s hard to get a job in the animal field without experience and it’s hard to get experience when you are 17 years old. This paid internship is very beneficial to me. It was a great opportunity and it was secure employment over the summer.” The other students agreed. Abby said, “This is the best school year I’ve ever had. I love attending the Academy and I wouldn’t have met Cole, Nadia, and Sarah because we go to different school districts.” Abby wants to be a law enforcement officer. “I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian technician or a veterinarian assistant. I love working with the animals but ultimately I want to work in law enforcement and animal advocacy.”
