A North Shore-based animal rescue group has managed to save two young calves before they were slaughtered at a New Jersey farm, and now the animals have found sanctuary with a Wading River farm.

Frankie Floridia, president of the nonprofit animal rescue group Strong Island Rescue, said he learned about one of the animals from being tagged in a Facebook post. The four-day-old calf was born in Amish country in New Jersey but was to be sent off to slaughter to not waste the mother’s milk production. Floridia drove there and learned there was another calf, roughly the same age, that he could also save from the slaughterhouse.

“The Amish had taken [it] away from its mother because it was a male, and they don’t need the calves — they don’t want to waste the milk they’re selling,” he said.

Back on Long Island, Justin Bakewicz, a member of the family-owned Bakewicz farm in Wading River, had recently experienced a terrible loss. Bakewicz had purchased two, 4-month-old calves in January. The health of one of them, named Bo Duke, started to fail.

The family brought the calf to Jefferson Animal Hospital in Port Jefferson, and then brought him home and kept it in their kitchen while they connected him with an IV and gave him constant shots. Unfortunately, the calf passed away Feb. 8.

“It was a real big disappointment to me, my family and the community — everyone was a big part of it,” Bakewicz said.

Only a few days later, people started to tag the farm owner on the Facebook post about the calves Strong Island Rescue had saved. Bakewicz said his mother, Marianne, thought it might be too soon for new calves, but once he saw the scampering young Jersey bull calves he knew they were right for him.

“We heard that Bakewicz had a calf that passed away a couple days ago, and [Justin] was saying ‘it was like fate,’” Floridia said.

Bakewicz said the two young animals are full of energy.

“The two babies — they’re like puppies,” he said. “One is one week old he’s so full of vitamin D and I turned around, and there was the other one. I said, ‘Well I can’t say no. I got to take them both.’”

The farm owner has taken to raising the calves in his own house where he feeds them from large milk bottles three times a day.

Bakewicz has even taken them out for walks.

“I’m walking these things like dogs,” Bakewicz said. “I walked them around my block today and every neighbor was sticking their heads outside going, ‘What the hell is that I thought it was a Great Dane.’ Everybody in the neighborhood is excited to watch them grow.”

It will be another week or two of watching the young bulls grow large enough they can move out to the farm.

The farmer asked the community for suggestions of names, and he has settled on Buzz and Woody, after the movie “Toy Story.” The names were suggested by Christin Paparelli Santillo, who will receive a free T-shirt.

Port Jeff enters into property tax consolidation agreement with Brookhaven

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Town of Brookhaven is looking to save money by consolidating property tax collections with other municipalities in the town, starting with Port Jefferson Village.

At the Brookhaven Town Board meeting Feb. 14, councilmembers voted unanimously to use approximately $478,000 of New York State grant funds to consolidate tax receiving methods with the village.

“I am grateful that some our discussions with the village have resulted in actual shared services,” Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said. “We are always happy when we are able to work collaboratively with other municipalities to streamline services to our residents and reduce costs.”

Brookhaven Town Receiver of Taxes Louis Marcoccia said the first phase of the program, which he expects to be implemented by June, will include printing out tax bills and sending them to village residents. Under the agreement, the village will reimburse the town for postage costs, which are estimated to be $2,000.

The second phase of the new program will introduce third-party software into the village, so it may integrate the entire financial system, though Marcoccia added the town still has to sign a contract with the company concerned and didn’t wish to name the software. He said the new program is expected to start being implemented in the third quarter 2019 and be finished before the end of next tax season in April 2020.

“So, the tax collection will be on the front end and the back end,” the tax receiver said.

Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant

said the village will still be doing property assessments and creating the warrants, but instead of creating bills internally will send all the info over to Brookhaven. She added the new system will also enable village residents to pay bills online, but people will still be allowed to file taxes in person at Village Hall.

“If it creates efficiency, after all they say time is money,” Garant said. “I’d say it’s different than how it was years ago, more than 50 percent of us are paying our bills online.”

The funding of the new program comes from Municipal Consolidation and Efficiency

Competition Award, which granted Brookhaven $20 million in June 2018 to use in municipal consolidation. The intent behind the award was to reduce property taxes through the consolidation of government services, and the town has outlined a total of 16 projects it hopes to tackle in the next few years.

Brookhaven’s tax receiver said the new system is expected to save the town more than $50,000 in the first year through cutting down on labor and reducing redundancy in the tax collection system. While Port Jeff is the first village to receive this new system, Marcoccia said in upcoming years it will be expanded to encompass all eight of the town’s villages.

“You take the $50,000 and multiply it if we’re able to do all eight, that’s not chump change,” he said.

Along with the consolidation of tax services, Brookhaven Town is also looking to reduce government bloat by consolidating public works operations within the villages, consolidate billing in ambulance districts, establishing shared information technology for cloud-based services and cybersecurity, and create townwide records storage and archive management.

Brookhaven makes second attempt to woo Amazon with Calabro airport

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Most couples agree there’s nothing worse than receiving a breakup message on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, that’s the message New York City received Feb. 14 when Amazon said it would no longer build its next headquarters in Queens.

Reactions from Long Island’s elected officials was swift. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said the blame rests on New York’s unfriendliness to business.

“New York’s 1st Congressional District would be happy to be Amazon’s Valentine today and take these 25,000 great-paying jobs,” Zeldin said in a statement. “New York wouldn’t even need all the subsides if we didn’t have one of the worst business climates in the United States. We must level the playing field, reduce taxes and burdensome regulations, stop picking winners.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who were both heavily involved in the Amazon deal, also made public comments lamenting the loss. Meanwhile, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) reaffirmed the town would welcome the retail giant with open arms.

Now that Amazon is no longer courting New York City, Romaine offered to sign over the 795 acres of Brookhaven Calabro

Airport in Shirley if the corporation chooses Brookhaven as a site of their future headquarters.

“We would close and give them the airport,” he said. “That’s a transfer of property. We’re interested in economic development.”

The town had offered the airport to Amazon before they had originally settled on Queens.

The supervisor said the same tax deal proposed

by Cuomo is still on the table should the company want to come to the East End of Long Island. The state offered a total of $1.2 billion in refundable tax credits to Amazon, in addition to providing a $505 million capital grant to aid in building its new headquarters. With New York City also pitching in, the total aid package would have been at least $2.8 billion. Romaine said the Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency could make up the same amount of aid should Amazon rethink its plans and come back to Long Island.

A representative from the Brookhaven IDA did not respond to requests for comment.

The town supervisor was adamant the airport location was perfect for Amazon’s needs, boasting of its proximity to Sunrise Highway, the Long Island Expressway and William Floyd Parkway. The site is also a few miles away from Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Mastic-Shirley train station. He said the proposed location’s close proximity to the Hamptons, Shoreham and

Satellite image of the 795-acre Brookhaven Calabro Airport. Image from Google Maps

Wading River would be an extra incentive for those looking to make day trips.

“They’re looking for a campus-life situation, and this would provide that,” Romaine said. “If they wanted to they could keep one of the runways for light aircraft. That is totally negotiable.”

Despite the pushback the Queens Amazon headquarters received from residents and city politicians, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said Brookhaven residents are much more open to the idea of a company

like Amazon coming in.

“We’re looking for corporate businesses that would create good-paying jobs,” she said.

Romaine said he knows it’s a long shot, especially with Amazon saying in a Feb. 14 blog post it would not be conducting its new headquarters search again. Instead, the corporation would be looking toward northern Virginia and Nashville, Tennessee, for its new headquarters location.

“I think it’s worth a shot,” the supervisor said. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

Longtime Mount Sinai resident celebrates her 100th birthday

BY JANE SWINGLE DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Our grandparents Charles Petersen and Anna Kenney were married in 1913 and had three children. Their son, John Anthony, was born in 1917 and lived for 10 days. Their daughter, Marie Gertrude, our mother, was born in 1919 and has been living for 100 years. Mary Catherine was born in 1920 and lived for 24 hours.

Marie, who eventually married to become Marie Mack, always wanted a sibling and was told as a child that if she put salt on a windowsill, she would get a brother and if she put sugar on a windowsill she would get a sister. She said she remembers that at one time she had sugar or salt on 11 windowsills. Unfortunately for Marie, she remained an only child, and Jan. 18 of this year she celebrated her 100th birthday. A surprise birthday party was held for her Jan. 27 with over 90 guests in attendance.

She was loved dearly by her father who in 1898 joined the Navy during the Spanish-American War at the age of 15. She remembers him having a dry sense of humor (we’re sure she herself got this from him). He was a good cook and she always looked forward to a batch of potatoes, eggs and onions after work. Her dad loved coming out to Long Island to vacation and in 1928, when Marie was 10 years old, he bought the house in which she currently resides. They had spent their summers in the same house beginning in 1924, the same house that was the Mount Sinai Post Office and General Store from 1908 until 1922.

Her mother was very different from her father. She was very melancholic most of the time unless she was taking the Putnam Avenue trolley to downtown Brooklyn to go shopping. She crocheted beautiful baby outfits for her grandchildren and loved going to the movies. Marie said her mother had a beautiful smile and always wondered why she didn’t smile more often.

They lived at 83 Saratoga Ave. in Brooklyn in what was known as the “Railroad Flats” where they paid a monthly rent of $25. As a child she remembers the iceman delivering blocks of ice two to three times a week to keep

their food cold. Milk was delivered at 4 a.m. and they had dumbwaiters so they didn’t have to carry everything upstairs. They lived on the third floor and once Marie even put our sister Elizabeth, “Betty,” in the dumbwaiter so she didn’t have to carry her up all those stairs.

In 1934 Marie saw our future dad, John Howard Rogers, working in a candy store and continued to eyeball him until they finally started dating in 1935. They went to their first prom at the Hotel George and she remembers wearing a pink taffeta long gown, silver shoes and our dad gave her her first corsage. They continued to see each other and in 1941 they were married and had their reception at her home on Saratoga Avenue. Our sister Ann Marie was born in December 1942, but our dad left soon after she was born for the Pacific front in April 1943. He did not see his daughter again until 1945 when he returned from the war. During the time that he was away our mother moved back in with her parents — she had only 35 cents to her name.

cellphones and when it cost 2 cents to mail a letter. She has lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, 9/11 and 18 presidents.

She was even born before they started slicing bread in 1928.

She credits her long life to her family for keeping her – in her words – “Alive, alert and stimulated.” She’s had many bumps along the way, especially the passing of our brother John and our sister Ann Marie, but she’s always had a positive attitude and has always wished our father could have been with her to share this journey. What amazes all of us is her incredible memory – she remembers names of friends when she was a child, teachers’ names, games she played, street names where she used to live, movies, actors, books she read and all the places she has ever worked. As a child she enjoyed going to Coney Island for hot dogs, the hurdygurdy man who played the accordion with his monkey, putting hot bricks in her bed at night to warm her feet and attending the World’s Fairs in both 1939 and 1964.

When asked what important lessons she wanted to pass on to her children, her 12 grandchildren and her eight great-grandchildren, she told us to always remember how important family is, to be respectful, considerate and always take the time to listen. She was the best teacher of these lesson and we couldn’t have asked for a better mother.

Jane Swingle is a resident of Norwich and echoes the sentiments of her siblings, Betty Mulligan, Nancy Rogers and Tom Rogers. Their mother Marie Mack has lived in Mount Sinai for close to 50 years.

When dad returned from the war, they became very busy making a family and in 1946 Elizabeth was born, followed by Nancy in 1951, Jane in 1953, John in 1954 and Thomas in 1956.

With this expanding family they could no longer live in Brooklyn so they moved to Woodhaven in 1948, then to Rockville Centre in 1962 and eventually to Mount Sinai in 1968.

When asked when her favorite years were, Marie told us during the 1950s when she was raising her children. She got us through chicken pox, measles, mumps, ear infections, the teen years and the death of our father in 1969.

She went back to work in 1970 at the Probation Department in Yaphank and remained there until 1977 when she married Bernard Mack. She again lived in Woodhaven for a short time after they were married but moved back to her home in Mount Sinai.

In 1996 when going into her attic to open a window she fell through the ceiling and shattered her knee, which required surgery and many months of rehabilitation. During this time Bernard passed away, but she rallied around again with her children pushing her to recover and get well.

She often wonders why she has lived so long.

On many occasions she has said: “I’m not good enough to go to heaven, not bad enough to go to hell, so I guess I’m still here to torment all of you.”

When we think about her life spanning 100 years, we are astounded with all the changes that she has experienced in her lifetime. She was born before most people had electricity in their homes. She remembers gas lamps still being used, when there was no TV, no computers, no

Stony Brook University students petition to change LaValle Stadium’s name

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In response to the decision of state Sen. Kenneth P. LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) to vote against a ban on gay conversion therapy, almost 800 people have signed a petition calling for Stony Brook University officials to change the name of the football stadium that bears his name.

The petition was posted to Change.org Feb. 12

by Stony Brook College Democrats, alongside support by other organizations such as SBU’s LGBTA club, House of SHADE and Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance.

The petition states if the university wishes to be an inclusive community, it means no longer idealizing an individual who voted for “the torture of LGBTQ* youth.”

“Stony Brook University has a responsibility to protect all of its students, especially those who come from marginalized communities,” the petition page reads. “No student should have the name of their oppressor looming over them at graduation. No student should have to see their oppressor glorified in their home.”

The bill banning gay conversion therapy for minors was signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) Jan. 25, in conjunction with the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act which prohibits discrimination based on gender identity.

LaValle has put out two statements on the matter. The first reads he is opposed to gay conversion therapy; however, he chose not to vote for the ban because it would undermine the current legal process for determining medical misconduct, which leaves it up to professionals

on state review boards to decide whether or not to ban the medical practice, according to a Feb. 13 article in The Statesman.

In a letter that was sent to university President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr., which was shared to TBR News Media by LaValle’s director of communications, the senator defended his stance again.

“I voted ‘no’ on this bill because I strongly believe that trained medical professionals, who across the board have stated that the practice of conversion therapy is archaic and inhumane, should be determining misconduct, not elected officials,” LaValle said. “I try to thoughtfully study an issue and base my votes on facts to avoid unintended consequences.

While some will use my votes to paint me as anti-LGBTQ nothing could be further from the truth. Throughout my tenure, I have been a supporter of civil rights for all groups. That being said our laws have to be workable and satisfy constitutional requirements.”

The senator has been responsible for several projects and expansions at the university over the years, including the creation of the roughly

$27 million football stadium in 2002, which is credited with helping bring Division 1 athletics to the school. He also helped raise $21.1 million for a renovation of Island Federal Credit Union Arena in 2012, which was a collaborative effort between state legislators and university officials.

This is not the first time the university has fielded calls to rename Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. In 2009 there was a short-lived campaign led by students to rename the football stadium after the senator voted against a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage in New York state.

“We think it’s important that the university take into account that this is not the first time LaValle has failed to represent the students at Stony Brook,” said Cecelia Masselli, president of Stony Brook College Democrats.

Lauren Sheprow, Stony Brook University’s media relations officer, said students should try to understand LaValle’s reasonings.

“The New York State Legislature and Governor Cuomo got it right — not only on conversion therapy but also on the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act,” she said.

“That said, you may have seen the letter that

The Statesman published outlining Senator LaValle’s concerns about the conversion therapy bill as drafted, along with his history of legislative support for equality for the LGBTQ* community. It’s an important letter for members of the campus community to read.”

Charlie Scott, the president of the Stony Brook LGBTA club, said Lavalle’s legacy does not mandate his name be on the stadium.

“At this point, Lavalle’s voting history does not reflect the values of diversity and inclusion which Stony Brook University claims to hold,” Scott said. “Lavalle didn’t give anything to Stony Brook. He was a well-known name on a committee that moved funds toward Stony Brook University. The money wouldn’t be withdrawn without his support at this point. We owe him nothing.”

Masselli said students on campus have been receptive to the petition. Members and peers in the LGBTQ community have expressed enthusiasm about the petition as well.

The political science major added that her club and other campus groups hope to speak with university officials, but in the meantime, they want to continue to collect more signatures and make more people aware of the petition.

They have also discussed the possibility of a protest or rally in front of the stadium, but first, they have to see whether or not university officials are responsive to the petition.

Masselli said if LaValle’s actions as a legislator got his name on the stadium, his actions as a legislator could get his name removed as well.

“To us, one vote in favor of gay conversion therapy is enough to make this request,” she said.

Protest in PJ Station calls out president over national emergency declaration

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Three days after President Donald Trump (R) declared a national emergency to build a wall on the United States-Mexico border, protesters in Port Jefferson Station held aloft a large sheet with four words painted on it, “Trump is the emergency.”

The North Shore Peace Group, a local activist organization, galvanized close to 50 people to protest Feb. 18, despite cold winter winds, about Trump’s Feb. 15 announcement he would declare a national emergency in order to build 234 miles of physical barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border. The total funds freed up from the national emergency and other measure will equal up to $8 billion, more than the originally proposed $5.7 million Trump had previously asked from Congress.

Trump is “actually giving a demonstration of how a unilateral president — an imperial presidency is emerging — he’s now overriding Congress’ constitutional mandate to control the purse strings,” said peace group member Bill McNulty.

Standing at the corner of state routes 112 and 347, which has been dubbed by other left-leaning activists as Resistance Corner, the protesters chanted and asked passing cars to honk in support.

Myrna Gordon, a Port Jefferson resident and peace group member, said there are other national issues which are better suited for the

moniker “national emergency.”

“With all the things that could be an emergency, think about all the people every day who die from gun violence.” Gordon said. “Down at the border people need help. Instead it’s a wall that people will either tunnel under — they already have — or find a way to go over.”

Some activists said the president calling the ongoing illegal migration across the southern border a national emergency opens up the doors for future presidents to declare national emergencies for agenda items. While activist Rosemary Maffei said this could mean, in the case of a Democratic president, national emergencies to deal with gun violence or climate change, it could also set precedent for a Republican president could call national disasters on practically any agenda.

McNulty said the ongoing illicit immigration across the southern border is due to the past and continuing foreign policy of the U.S. “Our policies in Central and South America have caused the destabilization of country after country, including overriding democratic elections,” McNulty said. “Brazil, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, these are the very countries that have been negatively impacted by American intervention.”

The peace group has hosted many pop-up protests in Port Jefferson and the Three Village area since the inauguration of the 45th president, enough to lose count. Gordon said she expects they will host many more in the future.

U.S. congressman backs bill on universal background checks for guns

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As the first anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, passed by Feb. 14, gun control advocates and Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are gearing up for another round of gun debate.

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) alongside gun violence prevention groups advocated for support for a proposed federal bill that would require background checks on all sales of firearms at a press conference Feb. 19.

H.R. 8, or the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, was first introduced in early January

by U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (D-California).

Suozzi is a co-sponsor of the bill.

The congressman announced that H.R.8 had passed the House Judiciary Committee and would next be put to vote on the House floor.

“It will go to the floor in the next week or two,” he said. “I feel good that this bill will pass the House of Representatives — the challenge is whether or not we can get the votes in the Senate.”

The bill would also see the end of a known loophole in firearm sales.

“There is a gun show loophole,” Suozzi said.

“We are not trying to take anyone’s guns away — we are trying to prevent people who shouldn’t have a gun from getting one in the first place.”

Currently under federal law, individuals who are convicted felons of domestic abuse, those who have a restraining order or those who have been found using controlled substances are restricted from purchasing guns. Gun control activists have argued the gun show loophole has made it possible for private and unlicensed sellers to market firearms to buyers without

going through a background check process.

“I stand here today with Congressman Suozzi to fully back his support of reasonable gun control,” Dix Hills resident Linda Beigel Schulman of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America said.

Schulman’s son, Scott, was a teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida and was one of 17 individuals killed in the Parkland shooting. She said she first met the congressman at a March for Our Lives rally.

“He spoke with me about the shooting, and

I knew his concerns, his support was genuine,” Schulman said. “He is fighting for the safety of all of us.”

Suozzi said many guns that are brought into New York State illegally are purchased through this loophole. He pointed to a statistic that said over 70 percent of gun crimes that have occurred in New York have been caused with firearms that originated out of the state, according to a 2016 report from the New York State Attorney General’s office.

Schulman said the bill is a bipartisan attempt to pass common sense gun control legislation and that safety from gun violence is not a partisan issue.

“If asked the question: Do you want to be safe, your children to be safe? Have you ever heard anyone answer no?,” she said.

Marybeth Baxter, Long Island coordinator of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence agreed with Schulman, stating that universal background checks are paramount for the safety of New York, other states and the nation.

“Just this Friday there was another workplace shooting — this has to stop,” Schulman said. “If the universal background check prevents just one shooting, then it has done it purpose, it has saved lives.”

PSEG director to run Boston Marathon for YMCA

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A Northport man is racing to check a box off his bucket list this April.

Jorge Jimenez, 48, can frequently be found running laps through Northport’s streets with two of his neighbors and friends, Frank Bonomo and Bill Heuer. Together, the three make up the unofficial Three Amigos Running Club, training together for marathons and ultra running events.

Jimenez is currently preparing to take part in the Boston Marathon April 15 as part of the YMCA of Greater Boston’s team. In order to do so, he has set a goal of raising $7,500 for its teen programs, far above the minimum contribution of $1,500.

“I used to spend a lot of time at the YMCA as a kid in elementary and middle school playing basketball and swimming,” Jimenez said. “I want to give back.”

Working by day as PSEG’s director of customer experience and utility marketing, Jimenez said he got started as a runner gradually, first by participating in community 3 and 5-kilometer events. He said he’s run in the Great Cow Harbor 10K several times.

“I wondered if I could do a full marathon, I kind of stumbled into it,” he said. “It turns

out I can.”

Jimenez said he enjoys the competitive nature and goal setting required in longdistance running. The father of two pins his workout schedule to the kitchen refrigerator, where he keeps a log of his times, hoping it inspires his son and daughter.

“I like that my children get to see me set a really ambitious goal and get there,” he said.

Jimenez tackled 26.2 miles for the first time when he ran the New York City Marathon in fall 2015 before returning in 2016 for a personal best. While he’s enjoyed these experiences, the runner admits there comes a time during a race that he questions his decision to run.

“Miles 20 to 24, that’s where the money is,” he said. “When you are at [mile] 20, you’re in a no man’s land. You’ve been running for two hours, you have 20 miles on your legs and still have six miles to go.”

But experience has inspired him to create a new line on his “soft bucket list” of competing the six World Marathon Majors — New York, Boston, Chicago, Berlin, London and Tokyo.

His 2016 overall time of 4 hours, 40:54 minutes — or an average of pace of 10:43 per mile — isn’t fast enough to qualify. Instead, Jimenez has turned to raising money for a charity to secure a spot at the starting line.

The runner has served on the board of

directors for the YMCA of Long Island for the past five years. He said he strongly supports the nonprofit organization’s mission to offer programs and services that nurtures youth and fosters healthy living and social responsibility.

With donations similar to Jimenez’s, the YMCA of Greater Boston was able to give out 17,000 free three-month memberships to teens at its 13 branches and allowed them unlimited access last summer.

“When you run for the Y’s Boston Marathon team, you are raising money to help us give a teen in Greater Boston access to summer programming, swim classes and camp,” James Morton, president and CEO of YMCA of Greater Boston said. “This past summer was

our busiest to date with each of our branches creating programming to fit the needs of youth in their neighborhoods, which would not be possible without funds raised by our runners.”

Jimenez is looking forward to the challenge and is planning a trip to Boston ahead of the race. He wants to run the last 15-mile stretch of the course, particularly a hill known to marathoners as Heartbreak Ridge, to know he’s prepared for race day.

“You have to try to do everything you can to prepare yourself,” he said.

Missing mitten prompts generous gesture

Catherine Poten, a fifth-grader at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School, was on safety patrol duty — a leadership program in which older students escort kindergartners from their bus to their classroom — when she noticed her charge was visibly upset.

Michael McGinley, of Mount Sinai, died Feb. 5.

He was the beloved husband of Maria R.; loving father of Michael J. McGinley, Dana Livoti (Joseph) and Evan Casucci; cherished grandfather of Julia and Robert McGinley; and adored brother of Joan Nolan-McGinley and Catherine Kearney-McGinley.

Arrangements were handled by O.B. Davis Funeral Homes in Port Jefferson Station. A visitation was held Feb. 8 and a funeral Mass was celebrated Feb. 9 at St. James R.C. Church in East Setauket. Interment followed at Washington Memorial Park in Mount Sinai.

James von Oiste James J. von Oiste, who practiced law on Main Street in Port Jefferson for 55 years, died Feb. 9.

Von Oiste was born in Floral Park, Queens, in 1930 at the height of the depression and graduated from John Adams High School in Brooklyn. Upon his graduation in 1948 he signed up for the U.S. Marine Corps and was the youngest staff sergeant at 19. He was sent to Korea where he fought on the front lines at the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir in 1950. He was wounded and

Catherine tried to keep her calm by asking her favorite color — pink — and then brought her to her classroom. When Catherine went home that day, she told her parents what had happened and her dad took her to the store to get the child a new pair of mittens.

“Kindness comes from our hearts,” Catherine said, before adding that the young girl wears the new mittens almost every day.

received a purple heart before retiring from the military as a result of his injuries.

After leaving the military he attended St. John’s University undergraduate program and law school with the assistance of the GI Bill.

He began practicing law in Brooklyn before relocating with his wife and daughter to Port Jefferson in 1965. He later moved with his first wife Gloria and four children to Belle Terre.

Von Oiste represented the Village of Belle Terre as an attorney where he helped the village prevail in winning a landmark U.S. Supreme Court zoning case Village of Belle Terre v. Boraas, which allowed a village to set zoning laws for its residents that could eliminate multifamily dwellings.

He was an active Rotarian lector at Infant Jesus R.C. Church in Port Jefferson. He was also a member of the local VFW where he presided from 1968 to 1969 and was a longtime member of the board of directors at Mather Memorial Hospital.

In 1978 he was a widower for seven years with his four children when he met his second wife Aida, a fellow attorney with two children, and they eventually married in 1988.

Suffolk residents are being given an extra week to resolve any parking and traffic tickets or get booted.

The county’s Traffic and Parking Violation Agency announced Feb. 14 that it would extend the ticket amnesty program that waives all late fees and penalties on moving, parking and red-light camera citations through Feb. 28.

“We can think of no better Valentine’s Day gift than offering our residents an extra week to rectify their outstanding violations,” Paul Margiotta, executive director of Suffolk’s TPVA said. “Before it is too late, I urge everyone to take advantage of this program before enforcement action is taken.”

The ticket amnesty program has resulted in more than 2,300 residents settling outstanding penalties so far, according to county officials.

Those eligible include moving, parking and red-light camera tickets, as well as moving violations pled down to parking citations.

However, it does not apply to those individuals where a judge has already suspended the driver’s registration or license, or where a

Von Oiste is preceded in death by his first wife Gloria and daughter Carolyn.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Aida; children and step-children Gloria (Romulo), James J. Jr. (Hana), Douglas (Chrissy), Vanessa (Rand) and William (Kara); and his 13 grandchildren Camila, Sofia, Elena, Lucas, JJ, Grace, Patricia, Ava, Gavin, Emilia, Dylan, Leilani and Maya.

Von Oiste was a fixture at the annual Fourth of July parade in Port Jefferson where he proudly stood on the porch of his office with friends and family to salute the Marine Corp retirees as they marched past.

Services were held at Infant Jesus R.C. Church, and he received full military honors at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Port Jefferson. Arrangements were entrusted to Bryant Funeral Home of East Setauket.

Christine Gongolewski Christine Gongolewski, of Setauket, died Feb. 13. She was 46 and formerly lived in Lexington, Kentucky.

Christine was born in Huntington Hospital Jan. 19, 1973, and shared the same birthday as her mother. Her parents were Carol and the late Thomas Gongolewski, who died in 1984.

“Krissy” went to Briarcliff College in Patchogue where she graduated as an accountant in only three years while raising her daughter Corrine.

She was diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia, but nothing kept her down. She loved working as a fashion consultant for Chico’s in Stony Brook,

suspension hearing is pending.

As of Feb. 28, Suffolk TPVA will launch a new aggressive collection and enforcement program by putting an outside boot or towing cars.

Those interested in taking advantage of the amnesty program should visit the Suffolk County Traffic Court, located in the H. Lee Dennison Building at 100 Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge, before Feb. 28. For more information, call 866-637-0008 on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

as well as gardening, housing, boating and helping people wherever she could. She loved and was loved by all her neighbors, friends and relatives. There was nothing she would not do for people.

She was an unbelievable mother to Corrine. Corinne took total care of her mother with no agency assistance. Her Uncle Robert carried her back and forth to doctors and hospitals.

She was paralyzed completely and needed total care. Gongolewski’s mother Carol Fitzsimmons assisted.

Gongolewski home educated with Sappo Private School of Long Island in Commack and volunteered to assist disabled children who were not getting the help that was required or needed.

She had planned on going to Stony Brook University to get her master’s degree to continue to help more children before she died.

Arrangements were entrusted to Bryant Funeral Home in East Setauket. Visitation will be hosted Feb. 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. People are asked to visit www.bryantfh.com to sign the online guest book.

In lieu of flowers the family has set up a GoFundMe page for Christine Gongolewski, which can be found at: https://www.gofundme. com/christine-gongolewski.

Rocky Point Jewelers celebrates 40 years in the community

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Honesty and service — that’s what the owners of Rocky Point Jewelers say have been the mainstay of their shops for 40 years.

Originally born from a coin collecting hobby between father and son, Anthony Bongiovanni Jr., the general manager of the store, said that after he graduated high school he and his dad hatched the idea of opening a small coin shop.

The coin shop eventually turned into a fullfledged jewelry store.

“I realized early on though that jewelry was the way to go for a daily business — so we went in that direction,” Bongiovanni said.

From there, Bongiovanni would pursue and receive a graduate gemologist diploma from the Gemological Institute of America, the highest degree awarded by the institute. He also holds the title of certified gemologist with the American Gem Society.

Bongiovanni said he learned much from his father.

“My father taught me honesty and hard work,” he said. “He meant everything to the store. He was here every day — he was a fixture — always there to lend encouragement to the staff.”

Anthony Bongiovanni Sr. passed away

in 2011, but his impact on the store and the community remains.

“My father was a big influence — he was a great man,” Ann-Maria Bongiovanni-LaBella, who works with the family business, said. “I see a lot of my father in my brother.”

Bongiovanni-LaBella worked as a secretary for many years in the Hauppauge area until that company went under. With some convincing from her father she began working at the store in 1984.

“Who would’ve thought it would’ve come to this,” she said. “[I remember] we started out with homemade displays my mother would make.”

Over the years, the store has seen an expansion in size, and the family opened a Rocky Point Jewelers branch in Stony Brook.

The Bongiovanni siblings point to customer service as essential to running a success business.

“Anyone that sells retail will tell you that it

is a different environment now than it was years ago,” Bongiovanni said. “You’re competing these days with not only other retailers but big box stores and online [shopping].”

The main store’s general manager said local jewelers like himself still offer services that are hard to find elsewhere.

“If you need a ring sized, a chain fixed, a watch fixed or something custom designed — that is something that can’t be done on the computer — you have to see a professional for that,” he said.

Bongiovanni-LaBellla said you learn how to read people and get a sense of what they want.

Many customers have become personal friends over the years.

“Some of these customers I’ve been seeing for close to four decades,” Bongiovanni said.

“You know them, you know their children, now

we are meeting their grandchildren.”

Bongiovanni’s sister said she sees her customers at the post office, at Stop&Shop and at the bank.

“Generations of families have come here,” she said. “We try to keep people happy — your biggest advertisement is word of mouth, it really is.”

Theresa Armone, who has worked at the store for more than four years, said it’s the level and quality of service they provide that has kept customers coming back all these years.

Those who work at Rocky Point Jewelers agree the store works hard to earn the customers’ trust.

Bongiovanni said people entrust them with their valuables and sentimental objects and it means never compromising their standards.

“Times change, but it doesn’t mean your level of quality or service has to change — we try to improve on services as much as we can,” he said.

The general manager said with the work ethic instilled in him by his father, good employees and a little bit of luck, the store is still around 40 years later.

“It’s a tough retail environment out there,” he said. “There’s no two ways around it, but you always have to strive for better.”

Rocky Point Jewelers is located at 29 Rocky Point-Yaphank Road and 137 Main Street, Stony Brook.

OH MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein, you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your powers. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother.

Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times) Oh Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands. (3 times) Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads, so that I can obtain my goals. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and in all instances in my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things, as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine.

The person must say this prayer three consecutive days. After three days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted. I.S.

Opinion

Editorial

Amazon and other companies should listen to residents Amazon, the online retail giant, tried to set up shop in Long Island City. The company came onto the scene in 2018 promising to build its second headquarters in Queens and create more than 25,000 high-paying jobs in the process, but by Feb. 14 Amazon had pulled out of the deal after months of community antagonism and protest.

What did Amazon do wrong? After all, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) were both completely behind the idea.

What happened was Amazon, like Marcus Licinius Crassus of Rome marching into the Parthian Empire in ancient Iran, wanted to stamp its logo in the dirt without thinking of the logistics, or whether the people wanted them there.

We, as journalists, know the routine developers need to take to successfully settle into our areas. The prospective business must work with the local municipality, whether it’s a village or town, and establish site plans and conduct environmental reviews. If their idea is sound, the area representative works with the developer, relaying questions and concerns from their constituents to the developer.

More important is reaching out and connecting with the local residents. After all, they are the ones who will likely patronize the business. They are the ones who will see it affect their local ambiance or property values. They are the ones forced to live next to it day after day.

It might be the height of foolhardy narcissism from all involved, from the government to Amazon themselves, to think there wouldn’t be any blowback from residents. The announcement of HQ2 was kept secret until leaping onto the scene, and residents were stuck either saying “yes” or “no” to Amazon.

We often see how the community reacts to new developments, and while sometimes there is a little not-in-my-backyard ideology to go around, many residents are keen to know how a development will affect them. The developer needs to listen to their concerns and make changes to their designs, otherwise the plans could blow up in their face.

The Town of Brookhaven, especially Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), has recently shown its desire to see Amazon keep its promise to New York. It has offered the retail giant to set up in the town near the South Shore, all the while keeping the massive tax breaks promised by the governor using the town’s own Industrial Development Agency. While we appreciate the idea of bringing so many high-paying jobs into the area, which may boost the local tourism industry, we also caution the same sort of secrecy and backroom dealing which led Amazon to abandon its Queens plans in the first place.

It’s also a lesson to local governments and prospective developers. Not all residents will agree with every new structure and every new business, but developers absolutely need to listen to their concerns. Amazon is not the only company to be pushed back by protest. The Villadom project in the Town of Huntington that would have created a new Elwood mall, was lambasted by community members who felt they were being sidestepped and ignored.

The community has a stronger voice than some might expect, and like Crassus eventually learned as he was roundly defeated and humiliated by the Parthians, one can’t simply stake claim on property unilaterally without a spear pointed at one’s neck.

Letters to the editor

Becoming the world’s No. 1 super debtor Some Valentine’s Day gift from Washington, D.C. First it was the Democrats who almost doubled our national debt from $11 trillion to nearly $20 trillion over eight years under President Obama. Now it is the Republicans under President Trump who have added more than $2 trillion in the past two years.

Will we ever learn from past mistakes and attempt to reduce both borrowing and long-term debt, instead of allowing them to grow yearly? The new $22 trillion federal debt is only going to continue growing by $1 trillion per year. This inheritance could bankrupt future generations.

Uncle Sam needs to do a better job with an annual $4 trillion budget already

available, rather than pick the pockets of taxpayers for even more. It is time for a return to passing annual fiscal year budgets on time by Oct. 1, rather than a series of continuing resolutions to keep Washington open.

Return to pay-as-you-go budgeting, means testing for all government assistance programs, real balanced budgets without smoke and mirrors.

Stop hiding spending under so-called independent authorities whose budgets are offline with little or no oversight, along with actual surpluses and down payments to reduce long-term debt for all levels of government.

Everything needs to be on the table,

including the infamous third rails of American politics: Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security along with military spending, agricultural subsidies and corporate welfare bailouts. How ironic that after winning the Cold War against the evil empire of communism, it may be mismanagement of our economy that defeats us in the end.

Unless we change our ways, America is on the road to losing our status as the world’s No. 1 superpower. Just like mighty ancient Rome before the collapse, we are going down the path to become the world’s super debtor.

Larry Penner Great Neck

Funding bill signed; the government stays open. A national emergency has been declared so we are headed for court.

Some of our leadership wants to build a wall across our southern border, some do not. They each seem to be obsessed with their own versions of the truth. They seem to believe that imposing a truth is the same as arriving at one.

What do the farmers, ranchers and people in the communities who own the

land, work and live there think of the wall? Real people, who grow up, go to school, fall in love, have families, worship and die there. They see it as “a scar, a cut that has been sutured.” Most of us from a distance imagine the border as being this uninhabited, desolate place that belongs to the government. That wall runs through private property, in some cases up to a mile from the actual border, separating folks from all they own

on the southern side of an 18-foot wall.

The government condemned only a thin strip of land, from landowners, splitting their properties in two. They can see their barns, reservoirs and grazing land through steel slats but will never again get to enjoy it.

Any truth imposed is no equal for a truth arrived at.

Jerry Reynolds Coram

I would like to comment on an incorrect statement in a letter from Professor Arnold Wishnia in the Jan. 31 issue of The Port Times Record (“The data involved in climate change”), which was that the Earth’s average surface temperature increased by 1.39 degrees Fahrenheit (0.77 degrees Celsius) from 1951 to 1980. Actually, during the years from 1951 to 1980, this temperature remained virtually constant. For this reason, this 30-year period is commonly used as a baseline for comparison with other years, particularly for the years following 1980, to measure and record the temperature changes that have occurred since then.

According to some sources, the total change from 1980 until 2018 was an increase of approximately 1.39 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 0.05 degrees per year. But there is another very interesting fact relating to the 1951 to 1980 period, which the good professor conveniently neglected to mention.

And that is that, while the temperature during this time remained constant, there were continuous substantial increases in

the emissions of carbon dioxide, from about 1 billion tons per year in 1951 to 5 billion tons per year in 1980. This raises the important question: If global warming is to be attributed primarily to man-made emissions of carbon dioxide, why was there no increase in the average surface temperature of the Earth over a 30-year period (1951 to 1980) during which there were large and continuous increases in the global emissions of carbon dioxide? Is it possible that there are other factors at work here, and might it be that anthropomorphic emissions of carbon dioxide have only a limited role to play, and may be only a minor contributor to the process of global warming?

Clearly, there is sound scientific justification for the proposition that carbon dioxide is truly a “greenhouse gas,” although one with probably less than 10 percent of the effect of water vapor and clouds, which are also greenhouse gases.

The greenhouse phenomenon was first explained by the Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius in 1896, and it is not in dispute.

Interestingly, Arrhenius had a positive view of carbon dioxide emissions and the

greenhouse effect, because he believed that they would prevent the occurrence of another ice age and would contribute to increased plant growth and thereby help to maintain the world’s food supply.

The real question for us today is not whether or not carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global warming — they do, but it is the degree of this contribution, in relation to the other contributing factors, including, but not limited to, variations in solar radiance, levels of carbon dioxide dissolved in the oceans, concentrations of other greenhouse gases, plant growth, emissions from cement, volcanic activity and — my personal favorite — cow flatulence. Before we flush trillions of our children’s dollars down the national toilet bowl, adding to the already unsustainable national debt, let us make sure that we know what we are doing, and are not being hoodwinked by pictures of forlorn polar bears on small icebergs or flimflammed by tales of imaginary tipping points, which exist only in the minds of those who make them up.

A star-studded evening as a Lilliputian spectator

o, what was it like to be in Charlotte, North Carolina, Sunday during the National Basketball Association All-Star

Game?

For starters, employers warned their staff about heavy traffic around the Spectrum Center and about parking challenges. They suggested working from home on Friday and over the weekend, if possible, to avoid delays.

As a result, for D. None the entire weekend, the car trafof the above fic around this

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF manageable city seemed even lighter than usual. People couldn’t drive too close to the Spectrum Center, but it was nothing like Yan-

kee Stadium or Citi Field before or after a game against a heated rival, or even against a middling team on a warm Saturday in July.

The city rolled out much tighter security than usual, putting up fences around a nearby bus station and restricting walking traffic into the outskirts of the stadium to ticket holders only.

Once inside, I felt as if I had become a Lilliputian in “Gulliver’s Travels.” Men and women of all ages made 6 feet seem like a minimum height for admission. I felt like a kid who sneaks onto a ride at Disney World despite falling well below the clown’s hand that indicates “you must be this tall to enter.”

The clothing choices reflected a wide variety of fashion statements. Some had come to be seen, decked out in fine suits, flowing dresses and highheeled shoes. Others strutted around in sweatpants and sweatsuits, donning the jerseys of their favorite players.

Celebrities walked among the commoners, much the same way they do at the U.S. Open.

frail-looking Rev. Jesse Jackson to shake his hand.

Jackson later received warm applause from the crowd when he appeared on the jumbotron largescreen display.

As taller teenagers, who were well over 6 1/2 feet tall, brushed past us, we wondered whether we might see any of them at this type of event in the next decade. They were probably thinking, and hoping, the same thing.

The game itself, which was supposed to start at 8 p.m., didn’t commence until close to 8:30, amid considerable pomp and circumstance.

The crowd saluted each of the players as they were introduced. The roar became considerably louder for local hero Kemba Walker, the shooting star for the Charlotte Hornets who scored 60 points in a game earlier this season.

The crowd also showered old-timers Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki with affection, saluting the end of magnificent careers that included hardfought playoff battles and championship runs. The two elder statesmen didn’t disappoint, connecting on 3-point shots that also energized the crowd.

While the All-Star game sometimes disappoints for the token defense that enables teams to score baskets at a breakneck pace, it does give serious players a chance to lower their defenses, enjoying the opportunity to smile and play a game with the other top performers in their sport.

Wade and Nowitzki, who each have infectious smiles, grinned on the court at their teammates, competitors and fans after they sank baskets.

A first-half highlight included a bounce pass alley-oop from North Carolina native Steph Curry to team captain Giannis Antetokounmpo. In the end, Team LeBron beat Team Giannis, 178-164.

The halftime show proved an enormous success, as rapper and North Carolina product — via Germany — J. Cole performed “ATM,” “No Role Modelz,” and “Love Yourz.” The young woman sitting near us knew every word of the songs, swaying, rocking and bouncing in her seat.

I asked her if she knew Cole would be performing and she said, “Of course.” I asked her whether she liked the basketball or the halftime show better. She said she enjoyed both.

Lady Royals fall in Class B playoff round

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Lady Royals had their hands full against top-seeded Mattituck in the opening round of the Class B playoffs Feb. 15. The Tuckers were able to stave off a late-game surge, edging out Port Jeff, 51-42.

Port Jefferson eighth-grader Lola Idir led her team in scoring with three field goals, a triple and four from the line for a total of 13 points. Long-distance sophomore threat Hailey Hearney nailed three treys for nine points, sophomore Evelyn Walker netted eight and freshman teammate Abigail Rolfe banked seven. Port Jefferson concluded

their season 11-6, 12-9 overall, finishing third in League VI. The Royals graduate just two seniors this season and look to contest 2019-20 campaign with several potent offensive weapons.

Photos clockwise from top left: Port Jefferson forward Rolfe drives the open lane; Hearney drains one of her 3-pointers; Idir drives the baseline; guard Walker shoots from the foul line; junior forward Jaqueline Lambe lays up for two points; and head coach Mike Weaver calls time-out with two minutes left.
