Suozzi proposes free mental health services for veterans in new bill

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) is hoping to protect those who protect us. Last month he introduced a new bill in Congress that pledges free mental health resources to those who have served in the military.

When presenting the bill, Suozzi stressed how difficult it is to identify and diagnose a mental illness in a veteran, as compared to physical injuries.

“It’s obvious when someone loses a limb or is injured tragically in war to identify that their injury is service-related,” he said. “But for veterans who go home at night and are alone by themselves suffering from a mental illness, too many are suffering and it’s not easy to identify these problems and demonstrate their injury is service-related.”

Suozzi said the mental health services would be made available through Veterans Affairs medical facilities such as the Northport VA and other veteran centers. The legislation would ensure any veteran, regardless of their discharge status, would receive “the mental health care they need.” Under the bill, reservists would also be eligible for the services. Suozzi’s office did not return requests for comment on where the funds would come from for the program and the specifics of how the law would be executed in VA centers.

“This is a real, serious epidemic we’re facing in our country,” Suozzi said in a statement. “Our veterans find that they don’t have any hope and many are committing suicide.

We have an obligation to try and help these veterans that are facing this struggle. Democrats and Republicans must work together to address this issue.”

While the Northport VA said they couldn’t comment on current legislation, they said they “appreciated” Suozzi’s dedication to veterans’ issues. The Northport center currently offers several resources for mental health issues, including a psychiatrist in the emergency room 24/7, many substance abuse treatment programs and a resident post-traumatic stress disorder recovery and treatment program.

An aspect of the bill also includes mental health services for veterans with other-thanhonorable administrative discharges.

U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin said earlier this year he intends to expand provisions for urgent mental health care needs to former service members with otherthan-honorable administrative discharges. According to the VA, this would be the first time a VA secretary has implemented an initiative specifically focused on expanding access to assist former service members who are in mental health distress and may be at risk of suicide or other adverse behaviors.

“The president and I have made it clear

U.s. rep. suozzi introduces his bill to a crowd of veterans last month. that suicide prevention is one of our top priorities,” Shulkin said in a statement. “We know the rate of death by suicide among veterans who do not use VA care is increasing at a greater rate than veterans who use VA care.

This is a national emergency that requires bold action. When we say even one veteran suicide is one too many, we mean it.”

Shulkin said there are more than 500,000 former service members who are discharged other-than-honorably, and roughly 20 veterans per day die from suicide, with only six using VA services on average.

A Government Accountability Office study

showed 60 percent of troops that have been discharged for misconduct in recent years suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder or some other type of brain injury.

Suozzi cited the incident last month when a Navy veteran crashed his car into pedestrians in Times Square, killing one person and injuring many more. Suozzi said he reportedly was dishonorably discharged after exhibiting dangerous and unstable behavior.

“It’s simply too difficult for many veterans in this country to receive mental health counseling and we need to make it available for every single veteran in this country,” Suozzi said.

TOwn Local moms host fundraiser for their autism support group When two Mount Sinai moms whose sons fall on the autism spectrum noticed a lack of support and resources in Suffolk County to help families affected by the disorder, they took to Facebook to form “a little support group” — made up of 12 moms in a living room.

A year and a half and 1,500 members later, the nonprofit Suffolk Aspergers/Autism Support & Information has blossomed into a haven for those dealing with disabilities, enriching the lives of special needs families through essential services and programs, as well as emotional and financial support.

“We’ve literally become an autism family,” said SASI co-founder Priscilla Arena, whose

10-year-old son was diagnosed at a younger age. “We feel a great sense of responsibility to every single parent and child and doing the right thing by all of them. I’m doing this not just for my son, but for everyone’s children because we need to do this.”

The group is growing at an exponential rate, as does autism diagnoses throughout Long Island. Its founders, Arena and Stephanie Mendelson, took their outreach for autism to whole new heights June 8 with their first Blue Party fundraiser.

In a grandiose ballroom at The Inn at East Wind in Wading River, hundreds of local residents, business representatives, elected officials and celebrity guests dressed in blue, the official color of autism awareness, danced the night away to live music and took part in casino gaming, raffles and auctions all in the name of SASI and autism.

Sponsors of the gala included Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Mount Sinai, Powerhouse Gym in Miller Place and Investors Bank in East Northport. An international theme was represented by cuisines from different cultures because, as Arena said, “Autism doesn’t discriminate based on race or socioeconomics.”

All funds raised will go toward a physical office for the nonprofit, as its members currently meet once a month at Mather Hospital, and the expansion of the nonprofit’s numerous programs for families, including its Life Skills program, a 12-week program that teaches teenagers and young adults how to be independent — everything from tying their

Mendelson, whose 8-year-old son Jacob struggles with motor skills, speech delay and overwhelming anxiety as a result of his autism, said she realized early on that he wasn’t meeting the milestones his twin sister was.

When she and her husband got the diagnosis, she said she felt a mixture of relief and profound sadness.

“My instinct was to wrap him in a cocoon and protect him,” Mendelson told the room.

“I realized at that moment that it was my job to be his advocate, his coach, his teacher, his biggest fan. I felt overwhelmed and scared at the idea of his outcome and future resting on my shoulders ... nevertheless, we began our journey and immersed ourselves in the world of autism.”

After she met Arena at a business meeting in late 2015, the two shared a desire to provide families a place to go where they didn’t have to feel lonely and isolated.

Part of the $7,000 donated to the advocacy program will help parents struggling to get proper services within school districts and raise awareness and acceptance among regular kids. The group does not yet know the grand total raised during the event, but the goal was $50,000.

“We want to be the autism resource center in Suffolk County, a central resource for parents no matter what their issue is,” Mendelson said. “And if we don’t know, we can find somebody who does.”

Monica Nichols, who serves as parent liaison at NYTKids Sensory Gym & Speech/Language Center in Port Jefferson Station, which provides programs and social skills groups for those with autism, said connecting with other parents helped her most when her own child was diagnosed.

“By far, for me, the most valuable resources have been other parents, because it’s really from other parents where you learn what’s out there in a more meaningful way than what a doctor can tell you — it’s what makes it special,” Nichols said. “[SASI] has been a big shift, they’ve really done a great job at outreach and membership and making each

individual family feel part of a bigger family.”

When Lisa Gerstein, of Centereach, first joined the group in its beginning stages, things got better quickly.

“We felt alone with everything that was occurring with our son, and heard about the group ... he now has friends he can relate to,” Gerstein said. “We’ve learned a lot in terms of what to do with dealing with the school district and what to ask for ... it’s incredible and I don’t feel like I’m alone.”

Daniel Korcz, a 22-year-old college student with autism, who hopes to mentor young people on the spectrum, said the nonprofit has brought him a lot of happiness. “It’s pretty amazing that there’s an organization to help people like me, who are smart kids that are on the spectrum,” the Islandia resident said. “It provides them support and assistance that they might need.”

Among some of the entertainment of the evening were TKA, a Latin freestyle trio from the 1980s and early 90s, and former Anthrax singer Dan Nelson, who performed with his band Dan — Lisa Gerstein Nelson and the Downfall.

World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. Hall of Famer Mick Foley, of Smithtown, showed up willing to help in any way, as the cause hits him close to home. His 16-year-old son Mickey is on the spectrum.

“This is an issue that kind of chose me, so I readily agreed to be part of this,” Foley said, adding he hopes this is a big success for the group.

Discussing his experience as a parent of an autistic child, he said he wished he’d been more aware.

“I look back at the videos when he was much younger and realize I should’ve known a long time ago,” he said. “I think it’s important that people become aware and acceptance is incredibly important. Learn as much as you can, find a great support group and don’t feel like it’s the end of the world because it’s not. Being the parent of a child with autism is definitely a struggle, but it’s also a great adventure.”

Participants can also download the book at suffolkcountyny.gov/do5/home.

Hahn said parks in North Brookhaven include hidden “check-in” signage located along trails and elsewhere within the parks.

Once a visitor discovers a sign, they can scan a QR code with their smartphone or enter the provided website address into a web browser to check-in. The reward is a printable badge that can be pasted in the passport book, which includes the majority of the parks in her legislative district, including Old Field Farm County Park, North Shore Heritage Park in Mount Sinai, Centennial Park in Port Jefferson and Sherwood-Jayne Farm Nature Trail in East Setauket.

‘I am convinced children are going to love it, and what they love, they will be eager to do again and again.’

Hahn said there is also a digital option that will issue “open badges”. The legislator’s aide Seth Squicciarino said participants can take a photo of a sign and email it to kara.hahn@ suffolkcountyny.gov, and a digital badge, which is compatible with any open badge platform, will be emailed back to them.

Once children collect and paste the 25 badges in the passport book, they can bring or email their passport to Hahn’s office to receive a certificate of completion. The legislator compared the new initiative to collecting stamps in travel passports or autographs at Disney World, and she believes children will enjoy the parks adventure.

“I am convinced children are going to love it, and what they love, they will be eager to do again and again,” she said.

Cartright said she believes the passport program will be a success with children and is a great opportunity for residents to get outside and meet other families calling it “a networking opportunity in the sun.”

The councilwoman said she will be explor-

ing the parks with her eight-month-old daughter this summer.

“I look forward to filling up my book as well,” Cartright said.

Hahn said among her hopes are that residents will appreciate their open spaces and take better care of them, citing recent dumping problems, and that families will become familiar with parks they might not have been aware of in the past.

“I’m always surprised that people don’t know about some of our wonderful treasures,” she said.

The legislator thanked park officials and staff members for installing the signs as well as her staff members, Squicciarino, Zach Baum, Alyssa Turano and May Zegarelli, for all their help in developing the program.

“This summer there will be children on a summer-long scavenger hunt,” she said.

“Some day they will be grandparents bringing their grandchildren to the same parks, boasting gently about the summer they filled their passport book with badges.”

Two Republicans, one Democrat vying for Suffolk sheriff job

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Three candidates are currently in the race to become Suffolk County sheriff this November. State Sen. Phil Boyle (R-East Islip), career law enforcer Larry Zacarese (R), Boyle’s Republican primary challenger, and retired New York City police officer Dan Caroleo (D) are each hoping to inherit the position held for 12 years

by Vincent DeMarco (R), who announced in May his decision not to seek a fourth term. He declined to comment on his decision.

Boyle, 55, of Bay Shore, who was elected to the New York Senate in November 2012 after serving 16 years as a state assemblyman, was endorsed for sheriff by the Suffolk Conservative Party in March and was backed by both the Republican and Independent parties soon after.

If elected, Boyle, a stepfather of two, said he wants to run the sheriff’s office in the most cost-effective manner possible, promote people based on merit rather than politics and halt the rise of drug overdoses and gang violence. He recently cosponsored a bill to ban the sale of machetes to minors, the weapon of choice for MS-13 gang members.

The senator, who chaired and

Republicans Phil Boyle and Larry Zacarese and democrat dan Caroleo are running for Suffolk County sheriff. helped create the state Senate’s Joint Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction in 2013 to stamp out the growing drug problem, pointed to his active involvement pushing law enforcement issues in Albany as significant qualifiers.

Under the task force, 18 hearings were held across the state, which led to 11 prevention, treatment and enforcement measures passed by the Legislature and signed into law

by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).

When it comes to immigration issues, Boyle said he disagrees with how DeMarco has run the jail.

“I work closely with federal immigration agents to make sure any individuals housed in the Suffolk County

jail that agents may want to interact with due to immigration status have access to that,” Boyle said. “DeMarco, for a while, made the jail a sanctuary jail, in my opinion, and I’m definitely not going to allow that to happen.”

Zacarese, 43, of Kings Park, who is currently the assistant chief of the Stony Brook University police, said he’s looking forward to the primary.

Zacarese and his “army of volunteers” are currently gathering 2,000 signatures in order to run. Confident he’s not just another choice, but the better choice, for the top law enforcement job, Zacarese outlined his 25year law enforcement career.

He started as a Holbrook volunteer fireman at 17, went to paramed-

ic school, then began to work in the NYPD as a patrol officer, canine handler and tactical paramedic. He became a sergeant, then deputy chief fire instructor at the Suffolk County Fire Academy and an adjunct lecturer at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University.

For four years, while working at Stony Brook by day, Zacarese pursued his shelved passion, attending law school by night. He is currently admitted to practice law in the state.

“My wife tells me I’m the biggest underachiever she knows,” the father of four said, laughing. “I’ve worked really hard rounding out all of the areas that are pertinent to the office of sheriff, which is much more

than just the person who oversees the correctional facilities.”

He said, if elected, his main priority is the opioid crisis.

“We really need to take a better look at the prevention and collaboration between addiction programs and not-for-profits, as well as how we can influence treatment while people are being incarcerated,” he said. “It’s about [providing] help while they’re in jail so when they return to their communities, they have started on the path to recovery.”

Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chairman Richard Schaffer, campaign manager for Caroleo, 62, of North Babylon, who was unavailable for comment, said the former New York City police officer, director of security at the North Babylon School District and current member of the district’s school board has, “a wealth of experience, he’s wellrounded and I think he can work cooperatively with, and continue, what County Executive Steve Bellone (D), Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini, and DeMarco have laid out — making sure we continue to drive down jail population.”

According to Schaffer, “Caroleo feels he has a great deal of public safety experience” that he could bring to the sheriff’s department.

Summer is coming and the grid is ready For Long Islanders, preparing for summer may mean buying a new swimsuit, planning a vacation or getting a new backyard grill.

For PSEG Long Island, it means a continuous effort to upgrade infrastructure, technology and communications to maintain best-in-class electric reliability.

These year-round improvements have prepared the energy grid to meet peak demand during extreme heat situations in the upcoming summer months.

“Our customers deserve and expect to have reliable service, regardless of the weather conditions,” said John O’Connell, Vice President of Transmission and Distribution.

“We continuously inspect our system and work throughout the year to proactively make upgrades and improvements so when extreme 148759

weather conditions affect the service territory, we can continue to deliver safe and reliable service to our customers.”

PSEG Long Island’s efforts focus on substation improvements and transmission, and distribution improvements, as well as circuit and equipment inspections, including helicopter inspections across Long Island and the Rockaways. Recent work has improved reliability in many communities, including Barrett, Bayport, Buell, Cedarhurst, Elwood, Far Rockaway, Greenlawn, Herricks, Jamesport, Levittown, Mitchell Gardens, Northport, Orchard, Park Place, Plainedge, Pulaski, Riverhead, Ridge, Smithtown, Southampton, Sterling, Syosset and Wildwood.

FEMA-funded storm hardening also continues along the distribution network, with stronger poles, more

wind-resistant wires and automatic switching equipment. Since funding was secured in 2014, this work has improved more than 80 circuits covering more than 270 circuit miles from the Rockaways to Shelter Island.

When completed, the FEMA reliability work will cover 1,025 circuit miles across the service territory.

All this is done so that Long Islanders can operate their air conditioning and pool pumps with confidence when the temperatures creep toward 100 degrees. Whether you’re grilling, chilling or heading to some vacation destination, rest assured that PSEG Long Island is making things work for you at home.

Mad Dogs make history one last time

Middle Country wins program’s first state semifinal game, fall in overtime in Class A state final

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com It wasn’t the ending the Middle Country girls lacrosse team had hoped for, but the Mad Dogs returned from the trip upstate with a few more firsts for the program.

The team had already nabbed the elusive Suffolk County Class A title with a 13-3 win over Northport, and another first with a Long Island championship crown following a 10-9 edging of Massapequa.

As a result, the Mad Dogs had the opportunity to take their first trip upstate. In the semifinals against North Rockland, the team continued its magical run, and the Masullo twins led the way. Amanda scored six goals and Rachel had four goals and two assists in a decisive 20-7 win at SUNY-Cortland June 9.

“Helping my team win the semifinal game, and doing it along with my twin sister was a great experience, and it made me so proud of my team,” said Rachel Masullo, who added she knew she and her twin had to step up their game in the wake of Jamie Ortega and Ava Barry being face-guarded for much of the game. “Assisting my teammates is also a great feeling though, knowing that I was a part of our push forward on the field.”

She said she enjoyed sharing the moments she and her sister had together on the field most about the run, often assisting on each other’s goals.

“It’s easy for me and Amanda to connect on the field, because we’re always together and we know what each other is going to

do,” Masullo said. “Making it this far with my team was what we’ve been striving for all these years, and to make it as a senior and to have my best friends by my side made it that much better.”

Amanda Masullo also had words regarding her sister.

“She’s the one that makes me work harder, and be better,” she said. “I’m so grateful for that.”

Although Ortega, the nation’s No. 1 lacrosse prospect who is bound for the University of South Carolina and also became New York’s all-time leading scorer during the Long Island championship win, was the main focus of the North Rockland defense, she still managed to make her presence felt, netting five goals and adding three assists.

But the Masullos quickly put Middle Country ahead of North Rockland (18-3).

“We always have plays to get me open,” Ortega said of being heavily guarded. “Usually I can get out of them, so I’m pretty used to it by now.”

Consecutive goals from Amanda Masullo late in the first half pushed the lead to 8-1, including a score in which she picked up a ground ball and sprinted around nearly the entire defense for a close look at the cage.

Then, when North Rockland threatened by closing the deficit to four goals at 9-5, Rachel Masullo scored twice to push the lead back to six.

Those two tallies started a run in which Middle Country scored 10 of the final 12 goals. Barry scored each of her three goals

Above and right, Ava Barry and Rachel Masullo are two seniors that will be leaving Middle Country’s girls lacrosse team following graduation this year. Below, Masullo is hoisted up by her team following the Suffolk County championship win, an obsacle the team has tried to hurdle the last few seasons.

Middle Country lax Continued from page A8 in that span. Her second goal gave Middle Country a 16-6 lead with 12:44 remaining, prompting the running clock that comes with a 10-goal advantage.

“Our defense was very strong this weekend,” Rachel Masullo said. “And Jamie, Ava and Jen [Barry, Ava’s younger sister] dominated on the draw, which made it that much easier.”

Following the win, Middle Country battled Pittsford, another team that had yet to win a state title. Ortega sent a rocket shot on a player-up situation for the equalizer late in the game, and won the ensuing draw for the Mad Dogs, who held on for a final shot, but Pittsford’s Michelle Messenger saved a skip-shot with four seconds left to ensure overtime. Middle Country ended up losing, 10-9, in overtime.

“The game’s never over until the buzzer goes off,” said Ortega, who had four goals and an assist and finished her varsity career with 588 points, more than any girls lacrosse player in state history. “We know how fast we can score a goal. It could be 10 seconds.”

The run to tie wouldn’t have been possible without the help of all of the Middle Country starters. Pittsford led 5-2 before a 5-0 run spanning the end of the first half and the beginning of the second, bookended by Ortega goals that gave Middle Country a 7-5 lead. Ava Barry scored twice and assisted on both of Ortega’s goals — the second tied the game — and Sophie Alois, who scored the opening goal of the game, gave the Mad Dogs the lead for the second time, scoring the opening goal of the second half to bring the score to 6-5.

“I think it was a mood changer to score the opening goal of each half,” Alois said.

“Our coach always says that energy is contagious, and today, my teammates all created an encouraging and energetic environment that everyone fed off of. I was just happy to add onto it.”

Alois said her team knew the pressure was on, and Pittsford answered with a 4-0 spurt of its own for the 9-7 lead that added extra weight back onto the Mad Dogs’ shoulders.

“We emphasized remaining calm, dodging and moving the ball quickly,” Alois said.

“It’s easy to throw the ball away or rush a play when pressure is present. When I got the ball, I knew the importance of every possession. With this in mind, I made sure to fake my shot and place it to ensure a point for my team.”

Rachel Masullo fed Barry to pull within one, 9-8, and Ortega tied things up to force

two three-minute overtime sessions. With the game still tied 9-9 at the end of the first three minutes, the teams switched sides, and a Pittsford (20-1) free position shot that was initially saved rolled in with 1:55 left to end the game.

“I think our mentality really helped spark a comeback,” Alois said. “Every timeout or stoppage of play, we all gave each other constant reminders that the game wasn’t over and that anything was possible. We kept playing until the final seconds.”

Following the final seconds, Ortega was still shaken up by the loss.

“I didn’t want my last game ever to represent Middle Country to end like that,” she said.

“I just knew my team needed me and I needed to be there for them. Now that it’s over, it feels like a piece of me is gone, but I couldn’t be happier on how far we went and how hard we worked and pushed each other. These last few

years have really been a journey.”

After the dust settled, Rachel Masullo said she thought some sloppy plays and minor mistakes contributed to the team’s collapse. Her sister said the team wasn’t used to battling against a tough defense, adding she was disappointed the team couldn’t pull through for who she thought really deserved it.

“No matter how much we were down, or how much time we had left, whether it be 10 minutes or two, our coaches never let us give up,” Amanda Masullo said. “The whole team not only wanted to win for each other, but for them, because they really deserve it.

I’m just upset that we couldn’t pull through for them.”

Rachel Masullo said she thought the motivation and determination the team showed in battling back is what Middle Country athletics is all about, and she’s proud of how she’ll be leaving the program.

“This program has made me into not only a better lacrosse player, but a better person all around,” she said. “I won’t ever forget what this team has taught me these past five years, and I definitely made memories that will last a lifetime.”

Amanda Masullo said teams better continue to watch out for Middle Country.

“I’ve seen us go from the team who everyone knew they could beat, the team that would go crazy when we finally won a game, to the team who no other team wanted to play because they were afraid,” she said. “That’s something that amazes me, and thinking about it, it makes me realize that me and the other seniors have something to do with that. I’m grateful to have been able to play alongside these other amazing girls, and I will never forget how far we’ve come, and the history we made along the way.”

Letters to the editor

A thank you for a ‘hometown hero’ LIRR employee

Middle Country’s girls lacrosse team.

File photo by Bill Landon

We’re sporting success Athletic success was contagious on the North Shore this spring.

We boasted 13 boys lacrosse, 11 baseball, eight boys tennis, 13 girls lacrosse and 11 softball squads in the playoffs this season. Local teams like Comsewogue boys lacrosse, Ward Melville baseball, Ward Melville boys tennis, Smithtown East girls lacrosse and Walt Whitman softball reached the semifinals. Seven of those 56 postseason qualifiers went on to be crowned Suffolk County champions, including the Commack baseball team, which grabbed the program’s first title in 20 years, and Mount Sinai’s softball team, which won its third straight county final.

Ward Melville boys lacrosse and the girls lacrosse teams from Mount Sinai and Middle Country all nabbed Long Island championship titles, and all three won their state semifinal games. The Patriots and Mustangs won state titles. And after the Middle Country Mad Dogs won the program’s first county, Long Island and state semifinal games, the girls narrowly lost in overtime, after the nation’s No. 1 lacrosse recruit and New York’s new all-time leading scorer Jamie Ortega netted the equalizer with just 1:37 left in regulation.

Districts like Mount Sinai, Shoreham-Wading River and Ward Melville have been dominating team and individual sports, creating powerhouse programs. Besides posting playoff teams in nearly every sport, ShorehamWading River junior Katherine Lee won a myriad of titles across the track and field season. She became a part of history when she and three other teammates swept the top three spots in the 3,000-meter state qualifier run, and placed second in the state with a new personal best.

Port Jefferson sophomore Shane DeVincenzo placed sixth overall and fifth in the Federation at the state golf tournament. Northport track and field’s 4x800 relay team placed first in the state and Federation finals, and Huntington’s Lawrence Leake placed third in the state track and field finals in the 400 high hurdles. His teammate Kyree Johnson won a state title in the 400 dash and third in the long jump, and led the Blue Devils to win the Federation team title, toppling every public, private and parochial high school in New York.

A load of other talented track and field standouts across our schools placed in the county finals and state qualifier meets. We’ve seen more and more talent across every team and individual sport with each season, and our schools continue to sneak into national rankings, perhaps creating budding dynasties for years to come.

With the end of another successful season, we want to recognize all the hard work and dedication put in by our student-athletes, many of whom excel to a similar level inside the classroom, and their coaches who help lead the way. Every student needs some guidance, and it’s clear guidance from coaches this season helped bring these athletes great success.

To overcome any kind of competition, students spend years learning their chosen sport or sports, practicing skills and developing their physical fitness. It takes a lot of patience and positive thinking to not give up at one loss or the next, and trust that the years of sacrifice will pay off.

We’re proud to have covered those wrapping up their high school careers who have represented our six paper’s various coverage areas with class and pride, and we look forward to seeing what the returners can do next year. Congratulations, and keep up the good work.

The Long Island Rail Road has been the subject of negative publicity lately. I cannot comment on that since I am not a regular commuter. However, I would like to tell you about an individual employee of the LIRR, John Connolly of Port Jefferson, who recently went above and beyond his responsibilities to help my husband and I. A week ago, we were returning home from a few days in New York City. At Syosset our train stopped and passengers were told that we would be transported by buses. But we had to cross over to the other side of the tracks to meet the buses, which involved a climb of several flights, crossing a bridge and descending the stairs.

We looked at the stairs and thought we could probably make it, but certainly not with our suitcase. As we approached the stairs, John Connolly took the suitcase from us and carried it.

What a relief! However, when we arrived, a second announcement told us to return to the

File photo by Rohma Abbas

original trackside. Unbelievably a third announcement then told us to wait on the other side for the next regularly scheduled train! Three trips over and back with John helping us all the way.

We finally arrived in Port Jefferson. By then John had kindly “adopted” us. When he asked

how we would get home from the station, we answered “by cab.” He then insisted on driving us home.

John is an excellent employee, but beyond that his values and actions as an individual are exemplary. Thanks, John!

Maryanne and Bart Bezyack Port Jefferson

Sympathizing with a fellow dog owner I recently read Leah Dunaief’s column in the May 25 issue of The Port Times Record entitled “A farewell letter to a beautiful Golden Retriever,” in which you wrote about your dog Teddy’s passing. I am truly sorry for your loss. I can relate to all the things you mentioned. In March of 2015 we had to put our dog, Harry, to sleep. He was ill and could not be cured after many attempts.

We still miss him, although we did get another dog six months later. His name, believe it or not, is Teddy, because he looks very much like a teddy bear.

In your fifth annual “Love My Pet” special feature issue Feb. 11, 2016, you printed my letter entitled “Wild about Harry.” I was thrilled that you did that. I still have the issue, along with some of Harry’s things.

Anyway, your grief is real and will not go away quickly. There are those who will tell you to get another dog, those who will tell you to wait, those who will say to not do it at all. The decision should be yours and when you feel the time is right.

I wish you the very best from someone who understands.

Ironic cruelty on International Children’s Day The 2017 world prize for ironic cruelty may well have occurred on June 1, International Children’s Day. The day’s announcement went largely unrecognized due to news of President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate accord.

The report from Save The Children said that for at least 700 million children worldwide, childhood is stolen by “childhood enders” to violence, extreme poverty and “forced displacement,” which is largely due to climate factors and food shortages in developing countries.

Part of Trump’s reasoning for leaving the accord, he said, was that America is “being taken advantage of.” In particular, we had pledged to give $11 billion over several years to improve living conditions in environmentally fragile parts of the developing world. America can no longer afford to do things like this, he said.

Irony Part 1: Such “savings” will result in predictable increases of forced migration, political unrest and death to vulnerable children, which are far more costly and cruel in the

long term.

Irony Part 2: This withdrawal follows the president’s recently proposed health care plan that will provide the wealthiest Americans with hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks. We evidently can afford that.

Irony Part 3: Both of these “deals” are supposed to help “Make America Great Again.”

Can a nation that does not make the needs of children its first priority really ever become great?

f you’re reading this on a cellphone somewhere, please stop. No, seriously. You can read it on your computer or in an actual copy of the paper but, please, stop reading this and look around you.

OK, are you back in your office or at your home?

It’s disturbing how often our cellphones become an escape from the here and now.

I get it: We’re waiting in line to order a hamburger and we want to do something, so we

In the process, we’ve lost sight of what’s around us. It’s as if we’ve covered our eyes with electronic blinders

and we can’t be bothered to pay attention to our surroundings.

I was recently driving through town and noticed a woman walking a large, chocolate Labrador along the sidewalk.

His rear legs were pointed out as he walked. As I drove by, I noticed that the woman held the leash on her wrist as she was completely absorbed in her cellphone. Seconds later, the dog relieved himself on the sidewalk while trying to keep up with his oblivious owner. The dog looked uncomfortable as he tried to multitask.

I realize dogs are an enormous responsibility and that every time someone walks a dog, that person may not feel the urge to dedicate his or her complete attention to a conversation with the family pet.

“Hey, Tigger, look at that squirrel over there. Oh, wow, there’s a bunny.

Do you see the bunny? Oh, wait, there are two bunnies.”

“What do you smell, Fifi? Was there another dog here a few hours ago and

did he leave you a little scent present?”

We don’t have to connect with our pets every moment of every day. But wouldn’t it be nice if we were able to pay them some attention while we were out walking them? After all, how often do they come over to us when we’ve had a tough day, or give us their paw—or offer us companionship?

Everywhere we go, we have the opportunity to tune out the world around us and surf our way to somewhere else.

It’s thrilling to travel halfway around the world and send pictures instantly of a magnificent sunset, or the Eiffel Tower or a three-toed sloth.

We can be connected to almost anyone almost anytime.

That shouldn’t give us license to disconnect from the people and the pets around us. It’s the economic concept of opportunity cost applied to our attention. The opportunity cost of paying attention to what’s on our phone is that we ignore our surroundings.

Remember those public service

announcements which said, “It’s 10 o’clock, do you know where your children are?” Maybe we should have messages that pop up on our phone suggesting that “It’s 6 o’clock, do you know where you are,” or maybe, “It’s 6 o’clock, pick up your head and check out the here and now (or H&N).”

Maybe we should also develop an H&N logo we can put on clothing or notebooks. It can even become a verbal reminder to our companions.

“Class,” a teacher might say as she noticed her students taking furtive glances at their phones, “H&N, right?

Let’s learn the material now, while you’re here.”

H&N may be a way of encouraging us to be where our bodies are at the moment, and not where the internet has taken us.

Dogs, meanwhile, shouldn’t have to multitask while they’re relieving themselves. If Fluffy could talk, she might say, “For goodness’ sake, H&N, I need a moment here.”

lmost everyone likes movies. But have you ever fantasized about making a movie? Now I’m not talking about a home movie of the kids swimming or starring in a play.

I mean the big stuff, with lights, camera, action, Hollywood director’s chair, firsttier actors and bullhorn. Well, our newspapers are now in the filmmaking business, and it was history that made us do it.

History, particularly our loBy Leah S. Dunaief cal history about the Revolutionary War - the battle of Long Island, the Battle of Setauket, Nathan Hale and the Setauket Spies are as exciting to read as any stories today. In fact, they are remarkably relevant, as aspects of the Constitution are regularly part of our political discussions today. For what were the Patriots fighting, putting their lives and possessions on the line, bleeding and dying? And what are we doing

with that heritage?

History makes for great storytelling, as the producers of “TURN” on AMC discovered over the last four years. Their version of history was inspired by fact but strung together by fiction. So on the anniversary of the Setauket Spy Ring last year, we filmed a dramatic narrative of the Culper Spies wholly based on fact.

To our great delight, that short film, which is on our website and YouTube, Facebook and other places, won first prize from the New York Press Association for video made by a newspaper.

Encouraged by our success and entranced by the many triumphant and also heart-wrenching stories that happened right here on Long Island some 240 years ago, we are making a full-length film this year, and we begin shooting locally this weekend. This time we are going all the way, with a cast of professional producers, directors, actors and first-rate equipment. The set is a work of art in itself, a recreation of the fort in the Battle of Long Island in Brooklyn Heights. We have 135 re-enactors coming from distant parts — Saratoga, New York; members of our own Long Island Third New York regiment; Murrysville, Pennsylvania; and Fair-

field, Connecticut — to stage the battle that almost lost the Revolutionary War before it even truly began. They will be carrying authentic muskets, shooting gunpowder, spilling blood and gore profusely (thanks to our famous special effects person) and otherwise re-creating history. Best of all about this film, we are delving into the lives and personalities of the historic figures whose actions made victory possible. Be assured that we are characterizing them authentically, both colonists and British, fleshing out what details have come down to us from historians and corroborated by our local historical societies.

Several local organizations, institutions and residents are helping to support and underwrite this ambitious production: The Ward Melville Heritage Organization, the Three Village Historical Society, The State University at Stony Brook, the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities (SPLIA), Theatre Three and the law firm of Glynn Mercep & Purcell.

Some support is not so local, perhaps including the Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York City and the Nathan Hale Homestead Museum in Coventry, Connecticut. Many places have indicated their interest in showing the

film, including some local teachers and administrators. What a painless way to teach local history.

As we have been reaching out to the many people involved in this venture, we have come across many enriching details. For example, the SherwoodJayne Farm, where some of the action takes place, has original planking from Founding Spy Benjamin Tallmadge’s home, the Brewster House was a tavern and home of a cousin of fellow Culper Spy, Caleb Brewster, historic Benner’s Farm where we are doing some of the filming, comes down to us over the centuries, and the 1709 Thompson House, home of a local doctor, is one the beautiful preservations of the WMHO. And by the way, the Caroline Church on the Green in Setauket has a musket ball lodged in its steeple.

History is the glue that holds a community together, and our particular history is the platform on which our nation was built. We are proud to bring these stories to you on film, as well as in print, and we invite any organizations, businesses and residents who might like to be credited with making this production a reality to contact us directly. Call me at 631-751-7744 and become a part of the history of our hometowns.
