TOWN

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Starting June 11, Huntington Station commuters may want to leave themselves a little additional time to park their cars at the railroad station. The Town of Huntington announced that it has hired a new contractor to finish up waterproofing the concrete parking deck on Level 2 of the south parking garage at the Huntington Long Island Rail Road station. “This is one of the many improvements the town has been coordinating with the LIRR at the Huntington train station,” Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) said. “This project will make the south parking garage safer for Huntington commuters.” The work will include replacement of some of the structure’s construction joints, waterproofing of the concrete deck, and then painting on new pavement markings once the waterproofing is complete. It is anticipated the work will take approximately four to six weeks to complete. The south parking garage will remain open for public use while under construction, according to Lauren Lembo, Huntington public information officer, as the necessary work will affect only a portion of the second floor and all three stairwells. Those areas the town anticipates will be closed or impacted include: the

Second level of Huntington LIRR parking garage to get repairs

The south parking garage at the Huntington LIRR station western half of parking Level 2, including the eight handicapped accessible parking stalls; a portion of the entry ramp to Level 2; the ramp from Level 2 up to Level 3; and all three stairwells from the ground floor to Level 5. “Traffic patterns within the garage will be modified to bypass the construction zones,” Lembo said in a statement.

Those commuters affected should be able to find additional parking across the street from the south parking garage, according to Lembo, and in the town-owned parking lots north of the railroad tracks on the west side of Route 110. Waterproofing the parking garage’s second level is the last step in long-awaited

renovations in a project that has been left unfinished for more than two years. In 2015, the town hired Tonawanda-based general contractor Patterson-Stevens to oversee several improvements to parking garage including waterproofing of the entire structure. Work on the second level of the train station parking was slated to begin the first week in May 2016. After less than two weeks, the PattersonStevens contract was suspended May 9 by the town, who said the company was allegedly violating New York State’s apprenticeship training program. Upon further investigation, town officials terminated the contract Aug. 8, 2016, according to Lembo, claiming that issues had not been resolved with the general contractor within 90 days. Lembo said Huntington town officials decided to take over these remaining renovations in-house, having town employees act in place of a general contractor. The list of projects that was undertaken by town employees included painting parking stall lines and traffic signals on the second floor and roof (Level 5), installing handrails and guards for the stairs between floors, and the conversion of some ground-level parking spots to handicapped accessible slots. The waterproofing of the second floor is the last step that has yet to be completed at this time. The renovations are expected to be finished in July.

‘When you come down and get in your boat, the biggest thing we emphasis is common sense.’ — Fred Uvena

Above, Huntington Harbormaster Fred Uvena gave tips on boating safety during a tour of Huntington Harbor. Below, Gina Lieneck pushes for state officials to pass Brianna’s Law at a May 24 press conference.

Huntington announces crackdown on unsafe boaters BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As Huntington boat owners get ready to pull up anchor and head out for the start of the season, town officials and maritime police emphasizing boating safety and a plan to crack down on drunk boating. “Across Long Island and the entire state, boating accidents and deaths have been increasing the last few years,“ Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) said. “At the local level, the coast guard and the local marine units have noticed fewer boaters wearing life jackets, and general inattention to the rules of the waterways.” Lupinacci was joined by Huntington Harbormaster Fred Uvena, members of the Huntington Bay Constable and members of the Suffolk County Marine Bureau at a May 24 press conference where they called for stricter enforcement of speed limits inside

Huntington Harbor, awareness of small craft in local waters and a crackdown on boating while intoxicated. In 2017, there were more than 650 deaths across the country involving boating incidents, according to a report by the U.S. Coast Guard. There were 19 fatal accidents, resulting in 22 deaths, and more than 70 people injured in New York. The overall number of boating-related deaths is less than in 2016, but still represents a general increase over the last few years. The report said that there were 12 boating accidents in the state in which alcohol was found to be a contributing factor, which resulted in one death and 16 injuries in 2017. “When you come down and get in your boat, the biggest thing we emphasis is common sense,” Uvena said. The harbormaster emphasized that every boat should have life jackets for every passenger, that boat owners should check

their fuel, flares and radio when boarding and that those in charge of the boats should know not to drink and pilot their craft. There are multiple high-risk areas across Huntington Harbor and all the way out into the entrance to Long Island Sound, according to Uvena, He pointed out that hot spots for incidents include the private beaches along the harbor that host many canoers, paddle boarders and other small craft. There are also the hazardous areas full of protruding rocks along the beach near Huntington Harbor Lighthouse and an area commonly called The Box close to the Northport Power Station. Over the past five years, Uvena said he has seen incidents involving kayakers and paddle boarders increase along with the surge in these activities’ popularity in Huntington. The harbormaster said that they are so low to the water that boaters who fly too fast, too close to the shore have the possibility of clipping them or running over them completely. The U.S. Coast Guard’s statistics show that canoe and kayaks had the second highest total death count at 152 compared to 323 in open motorboat. ”Boaters need to take heed of their speed in the middle of the bay,” Uvena said. The Harbormaster office is receiving new buoys that have LEDs built in to be more easily seen at night. Uvena expects to receive them by the end of the year, but as the boating season kicks off, the harbor constables can only advise boaters on the dangers of speeding in the harbor and of drinking and boating. Those individuals who are found guilty of boating while intoxicated can face stiff penalties. On the first offense, an individual can receive from a $300 to $500 fine and 15 days in jail; additional offenses result in harsher fines and longer jail time. However, under cur-

rent law a boating while intoxicated charge does go on a driver’s license or go onto the pilot’s record like a driving while intoxicated in a car would. Deer Park resident Gina Lieneck has firsthand experience with the potential dangers of boating. In August 2005, she and her family were spending the day tubing off the coast of Fire Island. They were heading back to Bay Shore Marina when out of the dark, another boat approached them from behind at top speed. Lieneck and her husband were severely injured by the boat and its propeller, but her 11-yearold daughter Brianna was killed where she was sitting on the starboard side. If a boater is born on or after May 1, 1996, they are required to have a safety certificate to operate a boat, otherwise there is no certificate or license required for any noncommercial boater in New York. Lieneck has been making the long trek to Albany every week for the past three months to lobby for Brianna’s Law, that would require all operators of powerdriven boats to take an in-person boating safety class inside state coastal waters. “We need to make this change, and make it now,” Lieneck said. “We’re not decreasing in accidents, we’re increasing, and we need to think about the safety of everybody on our waterways.” Uvena said that approximately 300 people attended the three previous safety courses required for prospective boaters under the age of 21, but he said he supports a law that would require similar courses for older boaters. Lupinacci, who before becoming supervisor served as state assemblyman for New York’s 10th District, said he expects Brianna’s Law to get bipartisan support. “It’s about time that things need to get done about boating safety,” Lupinacci said.

TOWN Dogs get a spot of their own at the Vanderbilt Museum Travelers are used to parking their car, but few have likely thought about parking their dog. The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport will be the first place on Long Island to host a DogSpot, a smart dog house where pet owners can make sure man’s best friend has a comfortable place to rest while they take in the museum’s exhibits. “I’ve always felt bad turning away people who weren’t aware they couldn’t bring a dog onto the property even though we have 43 acres,” said Lance Reinheimer, executive director of the Vanderbilt Museum. In recent years, Reinheimer said he has seen a growing number of visitors who want to bring their canine companions with them while traveling. Unfortunately, this poses a number of issues for the museum, according to the executive director, due to the delicate nature of its exhibits, the Vanderbilt mansion and the potential issues that could arise between dogs and other guests. Chelsea Brownridge, co-founder of DogSpot, said her smart dog house was designed to offer businesses an alternative to turning away potential customers, or guests, and their four-legged friends. “We started this company with the mission of giving people a safe way to lead active lives with their dogs,” she said. “They now have a

Chelsea Brownridge, co-founder of DogSpot, demonstrates the unit with her dog. safe alternative to tying them up, as you see in walkable communities, or leaving them in the car.” Brownridge said a singular DogSpot modular dog house is made of veterinarian-grade, nonporous plastic that is fully ventilated with air conditioning to control the temperature. Pet owners will be able to call the museum in advance to reserve the kennel for up to 90 minutes at a time. “The summer months are a great time to start doing this, as this time of year it gets more dangerous to leave your dog in the car,” she said.

The housing units also contain an ultraviolet sanitation light, built into the roof, that zaps the unit between uses to eliminate any germs or bacteria, according to Brownridge, to prevent the spread of communicable diseases like kennel cough. It is also serviced once per day, cleaned inside and out by hand to remove any muddy paw prints or dog hair. Reinheimer said the smart dog house will be installed near the museum’s gatehouse, adjacent to the parking lot, as the building is manned round the clock by personnel. That way, if a dog needs help or is in distress, museum staff will have a way to access the

unit and help the animal. Pet owners can download the DogSpot app on their smartphone, allowing them to view their dog through the dog house’s webcam to check in. There is a 24/7 hotline where users can report any problems, such as a malfunctioning air conditioner or a lost key card. “Each house is internet connected, so we can handle a number of issues remotely including checking the temperature and unlocking it if necessary,” Brownridge said. There have been 50 DogSpot houses deployed across Brooklyn outside grocery stores, restaurants and coffee shops as part of a pilot program for the last two years. The company’s co-founder said it went well, but they have temporarily been pulled as they work with city officials to figure out longterm rules and regulations. “We are currently expanding on Long Island and other places on private properties,” Brownridge said. One Northport business owner, Flemming Hansen of Copenhagen Bakery & Café, said he already has an interest in having a unit outside his shop. Hansen said he gets a lot of customers who come by with dogs, that cannot be allowed to enter the bakery. “A lot of people are very protective of their dogs and treat them like a child, they are part of the family,” he said. “I think it would probably do well in Northport and give people in town something to talk about.”

Crab Meadow Golf Course in Northport

Golfers may have a new reason to hit the green on weekdays. Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) announced a new demand-based pricing model will go into effect at the Crab Meadow Golf Course in Northport this summer. The program’s aim is to boost the town’s revenue by lowering the price of playing during off-peak hours. “This is an excellent opportunity for the public to take advantage of the beautiful 18hole golf course at Crab Meadow,” Lupinacci said. “It’s one of several creative revenueproducing measures the town is working on that will allow us to continue to provide new and existing services to our residents without increasing the tax burden.” Currently, nonresidents pay $46 for tee times starting from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays. The new

pricing structure reduced that rate to $29, and $21 for seniors and disabled persons; matching the rates residents pay if they have the town’s Golf Card. Residents who choose not to purchase the Golf Card can also take advantage of the new lower weekday rate. Greg Wagner, the director of Parks and Recreation, said he is confident that this move will attract more golfers to play at Crab Meadow. “We have the most beautiful public golf course on Long Island,” Wagner said. The Crab Meadow Golf Course featured 6,598 yards of golf from the longest tees with a total par of 72. It was first opened in 1965. For more information on the new pricing structure, contact Steve Dietz, Crab Meadow’s golf course manager at 631-757-8800 or visit www.crabmeadow.com — SARA-MEGAN WALSH

Cops are looking for the public’s help identifying two men who allegedly robbed a church.

Police seek Melville church burglars Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and 2nd Squad detectives are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate the two men who allegedly burglarized a Melville church in March. Two men allegedly broke into the Presbyterian Church of Sweet Hollow, located on Old Country Road, March 19 at approximately 6 a.m. They stole a laptop, cash, hard drive and two blank checks from within a locked office.

Town of Smithtown officials gather at Hoyt Farm Park Preserve, pictured at top, to honor Commack resident Lt. Christopher Raguso, lower left, as the first inductee of Heroes Hill, stone pictured lower right.

Commack airman’s name first to be put on Heroes Hill in 2000. He served as captain of Company 2 before stepping up as lieutenant of Company 4, located off Kings Park Road. Raguso was posthumously bestowed the rank of honorary fire chief based on a unanimous vote of the Commack Fire Department’s membership March 16. Raguso was also a 13-year veteran of the FDNY, where he served the majority of his career with Ladder Company 113 in Brooklyn. He rose to the rank of lieutenant and was stationed with Battalion 50 in Queens at the time of his death. On six different occasions, he was cited for bravery and life-saving actions either for his individual actions or as part of a unit. On the stone inscribed with Raguso’s name there is a symbol of Marvel’s comic book character Punisher, a symbol of honor and gritty determination, and bears with the inscription, “That Others May Live.” “I want to personally express my deepest thanks to Jeff Gurmin, his team at Hoyt Farm and our Director of Parks Joe Arico, who worked tirelessly to make this monument something we can all be proud of,” Wehrheim said. The unveiling of the new monument was held prior to the inaugural Goose Fest 2018, an all-day music festival. All proceeds raised will go to benefit Raguso’s surviving wife and two young daughters. — SARA-MEGAN WALSH

Town of Smithtown officials paid tribute to the life of a Commack resident by making him the first member of an elite set of hometown heroes. Smithtown officials and members of Lt. Christopher Raguso’s family gathered May 20 at Hoyt Farm Park Preserve in Commack to honor him as the first inductee of Heroes Hill, a new town memorial for volunteer firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice. “This is a symbol of our undying gratitude, our respect and reverence this community holds for Lt. Chris Raguso and all who sacrificed everything to serve here at home and abroad,” Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) said. Raguso was one of seven members of New York’s 106th rescue unit killed in the line-of-duty March 15 when a H-60 Pave Hawk helicopter crashed while carrying out a mission in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, an American-led mission to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. The unveiling of Heroes Hill was kept private to Raguso’s family and close friends, so they would be able to view the monument prior to the public. It is located adjacent to the veterans memorial and bears the engraving, “In honor of our volunteer firefighter who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.” In addition to serving in the U.S. military, Raguso joined the Commack Fire Department

They fled in a white 2009-2011 Toyota Yaris. A cash reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest is being offered by Suffolk County Crime Stoppers. Anyone with information about this incident can submit an anonymous tip by calling 800-220-TIPS (8477) or texting SCPD and the message to CRIMES (274637).

Bellone talks public safety, economic development in State of County BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

‘I can tell you that the state of Suffolk County — this amazing place that we all call home — is strong.’

Editorial comment

In his annual State of the County address, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) touted recent initiatives while also keeping an eye on both the near and distant future. The executive spoke for more than an hour from the auditorium stage at Newfield High School in Selden in front of a crowd of county, town and village lawmakers, students and others. “I can tell you that the state of Suffolk County — this amazing place that we all call home — is strong,” Bellone said. “I remain committed to making Suffolk County a model for effective and efficient government, a government that is as good as the people it is there to represent. We can build a stronger economic future, we can protect our water quality, we can transform this government, and we can do big things in Suffolk County and on Long Island if we do them together.” Though he admitted the state of the county government, “remains a work in progress,” Bellone called on both political parties to look past the issues that divide them and remember the things that unite Americans. He honored the four Suffolk County native airmen of the 106th Rescue Wing, based out of Westhampton, who died as a result of a helicopter crash while carrying out a mission in Iraq in March,

Christopher Raguso and Port Jefferson Station resident Staff Sgt. Dashan Briggs. “These are the individuals that make our country great,” Bellone said. The executive spent a large chunk of his speech on public safety and the work of the Suffolk County Police Department, specifically a decreasing rate of opioid related overdoses and violent crime, and reported that last year 222 arrests were made in connection with the violent gang MS-13. While discussing public safety, Bellone detailed the recently implemented SHARE initiative. The program — Shar-

ing to Help Access Remote Entry — allows participating school districts to connect closed circuit security camera systems directly to SCPD, who can access surveillance footage in real time in the event of active shooter situations on school campuses. He gave a nod to the students locally and across the country organizing marches and walkouts to protest for stricter gun control laws in the wake of more high-casualty school shooting incidents around the U.S. “It has been inspiring to see young people speak out on issues, organize rallies, run for school boards and demand more of their elected officials,” he said.

“Your voices will be heard.” The county executive made numerous references to the state of government and politics in Washington D.C., specifically in making a pledge that he and his colleagues “will not rest” until the State and Local Tax deduction, which was repealed as part of the federal tax overhaul bill passed in 2017, were restored. The elimination of the deduction stands to cost residents in high-property tax areas — like Suffolk County — thousands of dollars more than previous years. Bellone stressed the importance of economic development through downtown revitalization projects — like upper Port Jefferson’s Uptown Funk plan — and streamlining public transportation around these hubs as a means to foster an environment in which young people can afford to live in Suffolk County going forward through the creation of quality jobs. “We spend a lot of money educating our kids here,” the county executive said. “Too many of them have left for other parts of the country, where they are helping to power their regional economies. We have to stop that.” Bellone called water quality a critical issue for all Suffolk County residents. The county has made funding available for septic system improvements for homeowners, which would help reduce the amount of nitrogen polluting Long Island’s waterways. He also recently implemented a recycling program for six county school districts.

LONG ISLAND KYLE BARR

Veterans home introduces virtual reality treatment BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It was something straight out of science fiction. On May 2, the residents and patients at Long Island State Veterans Home on the campus of Stony Brook University put on stubby virtual reality goggles and headphones. After just a few seconds, they were transported to another place entirely. Vietnam veteran Al Anderson moved his head from side to side, up and down. He was no longer on Long Island but in Mozambique, Africa. To the left was a baby hippo and to the right grass plains of golden brown. One of the home’s recreational therapists spun Anderson around in his wheelchair, and then the VR changed, and he was suddenly in a suburban backyard where hummingbirds were feeding from a trough hanging above his head. “It puts you right there, and if I had this available to me when I started to have some problems with [post-traumatic stress disorder], it would put me out of where I am to another place,” Anderson said. “If I woke up in the middle of the night, and I had this available to me, I could put it on and probably fall right back asleep without having a problem.” Residents and patients of the veterans home were able to try one of the new 10 MyndVR devices now part of the home’s recreational therapy tools. MyndVR is a company based out of Dallas, Texas, that tries to provide VR technology to the elderly in retirement communities and home health care services. Directors at the home hope this will become a part of

regular therapy. “It’s not just a video game, it’s actually very therapeutic,” said Michelle Cheslak, the director of therapeutic recreation. “It stimulates their cognitive ability to recall a memory. Maybe it unlocks a memory of Paris, maybe a honeymoon that they’re now reliving. Think about it. They’re probably not going to be able to go to Paris ever again; now they can travel wherever they want, right from their seat.” The VR headset allows those who wear it to experience full sensual awareness as the headset tracks head movement and changes audio direction based on where the person is facing. Jonathan Spier, deputy executive director of the veterans home, said it is the first in the country to use VR for therapy. “My goal is to really try to use this with my veterans who suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD,” Spier said. “Some [residents] are just too physically disabled to go out into the community, so this is some technology to let that veteran go anywhere in the world.” The money for the VR headsets was provided through a grant from the nonprofit Bowlers to Veterans Link, an organization made up of bowlers and bowling alley owners who raise money for veteran causes. “For the people who do the work, and try and heal the veterans, [local veteran centers] are the most appreciative of the value from that,” said John Laspina, the chair of the BVL board of directors and president of Maple Family Centers. Some of the different VR experiences include NASCAR racing, a tour through Paris, taking off in a fighter jet and

While Vietnam vet Al Anderson, at top, is transported to a garden where hummingbirds fly thanks to a new virtual reality device at the Long Island State Veterans Home, another veteran, above, experiences what it would be like to be in a fighter jet. swimming with dolphins among several others. Though the devices are not physically intensive, Spier said people with epilepsy or other seizure disorders will not be able to use the devices. “It’s like I’m there, either taking off and landing,” said Vietnam veteran and adult day health care patient James Saladino about the fighter jet experience. Veteran Ronald Kelson served in England from 1954 to 1956. He never got to visit Paris, but with virtual reality, he was able to get a small tour. “I saw all of London, but I didn’t get to see all of Europe,” Kelson said. “You feel like you’re part of it.” Executive Director Fred Sganga said he wants technology like this to help remove the stigma that nursing homes are

depressing, monotonous places. “We’re thrilled to be cutting edge,” Sganga said. “A nursing home should not be a boring place. I have an obligation to provide my residents with an outstanding quality of life. We like to say our residents have better social lives than we do.” Cheslak said that as younger veterans arrive at the veterans home, there is a growing desire and need for more technologically based therapy. “We’re getting more younger veterans coming in who are computer savvy,” Cheslak said. “They have iPhones and iPads, and they’re looking for that new technology, for that action. People in their 60s and 70s want to go scuba diving again, they want a thrill.”

TOWN

Northport pays tribute to fallen vets into the village, and members of the American Legion stopped at various memorials throughout town to lay wreaths to honor veterans. One of the wreaths laid was in memory of U.S. airman Master Sgt. Christopher Raguso, also a New York City and Commack firefighter, who died in the line of duty March 15. Raguso was one of seven mem-

bers of New York’s 106th rescue unit killed in the line of duty March 15 when a H-60 Pave Hawk helicopter crashed while carrying out a mission in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, an American-led mission to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. — SARA-MEGAN WALSH

SPORTS BILL LANDON

Derasmo’s three second-half goals send Harborfields to Suffolk finals since 1992 BY BILL LANDON P..J. Clementi powered No. 1 Harborfields’ boys lacrosse team to its first Class B final appearance since 1992. Though scoring four goals in the first half of the Tornadoes’ 11-7 semifinal win over visiting Rocky Point May 23, his four assists during the second half proved to be much more crucial. The team had likened the game to a boxing match. After the first two quarters, the teams were in a 6-6 stalemate, but Clementi said he knew the difference was Harborfields had what it took to last all four rounds of this fight. “There’s no doubt [Rocky Point] is a great team, but we’re built for this — we’re a 48-minute team,” Clementi said.

Harborfields 11 Rocky Point 7

“Halfway through the fight we knew we had ‘em, so we stood on the gas pedal and it showed on the scoreboard.” Although Rocky Point had its fair share of time with the ball, the Eagles struggled to get a clear shot on goal. The Tornadoes defense swept up several passes for turnovers and Harborfields was right back on attack. “We really took it play by play, goal by goal — stayed focused on the little things,” senior Andy Derasmo said. “Getting ground balls and clearing makes the game.” Clementi connected with Derasmo (three goals, one assist) three times in the second half to help Harborfields to a lead it would not relinquish. Clementi also handed the ball off to senior Jimmy Bifulco (three goals, one assist).

Clockwise from top, the Harborfields boys lacrosse team celebrates its semifinal win; Andy Derasmo moves his way around a Rocky Point defender; Jimmy Bifulco passes the ball; and P.J. Clementi carries the ball into the Eagles’ zone. Harborfields head coach Glenn Lavey said he told his team to not worry about the tied halftime score, putting an emphasis on remaining physical to tire out the Eagles by the second half. “We had to just focus on grinding,” he said. “I told my guys I wouldn’t be surprised if it was tied at halftime. I told them you win a 12-round boxing match with body blows — it’s not easy to stay with us an entire game.”

Rocky Point senior Mike Vaden (two goals, one assist) scored the final goal of the game. Classmates Jake Wandle and Zach Gill also added two goals apiece for the Eagles. Sophomore Tyler Kotarski made a game-high 15 saves to Tornadoes senior Zack Yorio’s 12. Harborfields faced No. 3 East Islip for the county title May 30 at Islip High School. Results were not available by press time. Check www.tbrnewsmedia.com for results.

OPINION Editorial

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) admitted in his 2018 State of the County address last week that our county, our home, remains a constant work in progress. We couldn’t agree more. There needs to be action taken to push for more concrete progress now, instead of just talking about the potential Suffolk has. Many of the quality-of-life issues addressed by Bellone are no surprise to Long Islanders. The high cost of living and economic stress it creates, need for affordable housing, improvements to public transportation to reduce traffic, and tackling our county’s narcotic drug abuse and gang violence are daily issues we struggle with. And these aren’t new problems. Bellone first recognized that “young people have been leaving our region at record rates for 20 years in search of opportunity and in search of a place to live other than their parents basements” in his 2012 State of the County address. Enrollment in most of the county’s school districts is dwindling as families are moving off Long Island to pursue their version of the American Dream. The true question is how much progress has been made toward meeting housing demands, creating opportunities for better-paying jobs, improving the Long Island Rail Road and other public transportation while addressing crime in the last six years? A Connect Long Island master plan to construct new transitoriented housing centers was presented by Bellone in 2015. While we’ve seen ground broken on Port Jefferson’s Uptown Funk project, key plans like the Ronkonkoma hub, Huntington Station’s revitalization, Heartland Town Square in Brentwood off Commack Road and other promised projects are either just getting underway or largely still lofty ideals sketched on paper. Residents have spoken out against many of these planned housing developments in rallies at town halls and roadway intersections. Location is key, and we are tired of seeing open green space slated for development when there’s plenty of vacant storefronts and zombie houses in residential areas. Let’s not forget the affordable aspect. Recently opened housing projects in Huntington Station are quoting a rent of more than $2,300 a month for a one-bedroom apartment, when the median income for Suffolk workers is about $41,000 a year, according to the U.S. Census 2012-2016 American Community Survey. That’s not far off from apartment costs in parts of New York City, which don’t require a commute. Electrification of the LIRR’s eastern tracks – including the Huntington to Port Jefferson stretch – has been talked about by the county since 2015. As of this April, town leaders including Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) and Town of Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) are still writing letters to state and county officials begging for a feasibility study to be started. As for the promise of a rapid transit bus system, a reliable system has still not materialized while many of the line stops have been closed. High-paying jobs that offer opportunity for future growth, reasonably priced housing and solutions to roadway gridlock need to be put into place to make Suffolk County’s future bright, as Bellone first promised when taking office. We are willing to commend what appears to be progress in reducing narcotic drug abuse and gang violence, as early crime stats for 2018 are trending in the right direction. But we must remain vigilant.

Combating bias-based bullying In September 2010, the Dignity for All Students Act was signed into state law to combat bias-based bullying, discrimination and harassment in public schools and to ensure the right of every public school student to learn in a safe, welcoming and caring environment. Eastern Suffolk BOCES, the Suffolk County Inter-Faith AntiBias Task Force and the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association joined together and have been working in collaboration to ensure the guidelines and goals established by DASA are being effectively implemented in public schools throughout Suffolk County. One of their joint initiatives was to facilitate a forum, which coincided with the fifth anniversary of the introduction of DASA, where county school districts’ Dignity Act coordinators and district DASA coordinators could share their best practices in the areas of disseminating information to staff, students and parents; the training of staff and students; prevention and response to events; and response to violations. Through an open dialogue, forum attendees shared and received valuable insight into effective practices, and the tools to enhance

their own processes. While there is much good work going on in schools across the county in compliance with DASA, there is always more that can be done and shared. As an outgrowth of this successful forum, a DASA resource guide, which is a compilation of best practices utilized in county public schools for the past five years, was created. This comprehensive resource guide, which is being shared with all county school districts, will serve as an informative and valuable tool to support and enhance the work being done to implement DASA and protect the rights of all children

attending public schools. The guide is a collaboration between the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission, the Suffolk County Inter-Faith Anti-Bias Task Force, Eastern Suffolk BOCES and the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association. For more information on best practices for the implementation of DASA in public schools, visit the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association website at www.suffolksuperintendents.org.

How do we even begin a conversation Last year I wrote a quick letter to this paper stating my observation of various bumper stickers on Hillary and Trump supporters’ vehicles. All of Hillary’s had a similar grouping theme as did Trump’s. Throughout this year of extreme turmoil, I have now noticed the theme of stickers on vehicles who support the current administration have become even more offensive. At last writing, one of the most offensive stickers on a Trump supporter’s car was “my kid banged your kid’s honor teacher.” I took a picture May 17 of a pickup truck completely adorned with bumper stickers including a large sticker in support of Trump. Here is the rundown: “You can give peace a chance but I’ll cover you if it doesn’t work out” (with a picture of an assault rifle); “F**K off” written in a map of America; “Deplorable;” “Black

rifles matter;” “Infidel” (with an assault rifle representing the “I”); “So if guns kill people, cars drive drunk and spoons make people fat;” “We don’t need gun control, we need idiot control;” “The Founding Fathers would be shooting right now;” “Silly Americans, laws are for poor people;” “Kennedy put a man on the moon, Obama put a man in the ladies room;” “We the People have spoken.” The last is the most frightening of them all. Some questions: How is one, on the opposing side of this person, even to begin having a political conversation with him? Why is this person so full of hatred for so many people? How did we, as a country, come to have a president who represents this hatred? How can people be so comfortable, even proud, plastering their vehicles with such derogatory and disgusting rhetoric? The owner of this vehicle is

now proudly calling himself a deplorable. Good. We can agree on that. He is calling people with my mindset about gun control “idiots.” What if he drives by or confronts a family in a parking lot that has lost a loved one in a shooting incident. Would he call them “idiots” to their face? How does he explain the “F-off” one to children? Why are the abhorrent and repulsive bumper stickers only on Trump’s side? So, for people who are still supporting this president, this truck is what you represent to those of us who are trying desperately to keep this country from falling into the abyss. And yes, I find this blatant show of racist, misogynistic, threatening, uneducated myopic view of humanity, absolutely deplorable.

OPINION

Dropping the emotional masks for a weekend

rom the time we’re teenagers, we’re taught to control our emotions. As we get older, people tell us not to make emotional decisions. We see our emotions, particularly the ones in the moment, as being at odds with the rational decision-making side of our thought processes. We roll our eyes and shake our heads when a teenager makes decisions or declarations that seem driven more by the hormones surging through their growing bodies than by the intellect we hope they’ve By Daniel Dunaief developed. And yet, every so often, we and our teenagers take those raw emotions out for a few hours or even days. This past weekend, my wife and

D. None of the above

I did our periodic Texas two-step, where she brought our son to his baseball game in one state and I drove hundreds of miles to our daughter’s volleyball tournament in another. The journey involves considerable effort, finding food that doesn’t upset allergies or sensitive stomachs at a time when indigestion or a poorly timed pit stop could derail the day. The games themselves are filled with a wide range of emotions, as a player’s confidence and ability can rise and fall quickly from one point to the next, with slumping shoulders quickly replaced by ecstatic high fives. In the stands and outside the lines, the emotional echoes continue to reverberate. One girl sat next to her father, sobbing uncontrollably with her ankle high on the chair in front of her. Her father put his arm around her shoulders and spoke quiet, encouraging words into her ear. Her coach came over, in front of a stand filled with strangers, and said the girl would be able to play the next day as

soon as the swelling in her ankle went down — the coach didn’t want to risk further injury. The girl nodded that she heard her coach, but couldn’t stop the torrent of tears. Not far from her, a mother seethed as her daughter missed a shot. The mother was angry, defensive and, eventually, apologetic to the parents of the other players for her daughter’s performance. Other parents assured her that it was fine and that everyone could see her daughter was trying her best. Another parent hooted and hollered, clapping long after the point ended, as her daughter rose above her diminutive frame to hit the ball around a group of much taller girls. Many of the emotional moments included unbridled joy, as a group of girls continued to embrace each other after winning a tough match, replaying point after point and laughing about the time the ball hit them in the head or they collided with a teammate on the floor. What will they remember next

week, next month or in 20 years? Will it be satisfying when they find a picture of a younger version of themselves, beaming from ear to ear with girls they may not have seen for many years? Even if they do think about one particular point or a strategic decision that paid off in a game against talented competition, they will also remember where and how they expressed those raw, dramatic emotions. While feelings can get in the way of whatever grand plan we’re executing in our head, holding us back from taking a risk or preventing us from showing how much we care, they can and do enhance the way we experience our lives. Despite all the work driving behind slow-moving vehicles which take wide right turns and encourage you to call a number to let someone know how they’re driving, the effort — even when the event doesn’t turn out as well as we might hope — is well worth the opportunity to drop the mask and indulge those emotions.

Dumbing down America as graduation approaches

ccording to what I recently read, over half of the high schools in the United States are doing away with recognition of the highest achieving students. They are no longer naming valedictorians and salutatorians at graduation. I find that shocking. No, I was neither valedictorian nor salutatorian at my high school graduation, so that is not the cause of my disappointment at this latest piece of participation trophy news. No one is hurt if there is no “best.” Everyone feels good about By Leah S. Dunaief himself or herself, and there certainly isn’t any unhealthy competition, right? Everyone gets the same diploma. Everyone is equal. How idiotic! Everyone is not equal just because everyone showed up. Some put more effort into the learning

Between you and me

process than others. Perhaps some were not as gifted as others but had a greater drive to learn and to excel. Shouldn’t those top students be rewarded with the recognition they deserve? Shouldn’t they be regarded as role models? They will often go on to be the leaders of our country at the end of the day. Class ranking is also being abandoned. This is just another example of dumbing down America. In our vast and rich continent, our most valuable resources are the education and knowledge, along with the drive and motivation of our population. When we declare that all men (insert “persons”) are created equal, we mean we have equal rights to excel and should be given every opportunity and encouragement to do so. I did graduate from a highly competitive high school. I had to pass a test to get in, and I had to pass innumerable tests over the years to stay in. We all moaned about how competitive the school was. Our final grades were posted on the main hallway walls at the end of each semester, along with our rank in our class. “So terrible,” we said, “so unhealthy.” But you know what? I

worked harder, studied longer, learned more, because I wanted to see my name higher up on those lists. Englishman Roger Bannister didn’t break the 4-minute mile alone in 1954 at an Oxford University track. He did it because there were two other runners in the race, Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher, who challenged him for the lead. The competition spurred Bannister to give his best and then some. And when he did break the long-standing barrier, the magic 4-minute figure, he thanked his pacemakers, Chataway and Brasher. Some disagree that winning a prize or trophy of some sort is what we should be encouraging. They say instead we should inspire an internal desire for learning and self-betterment. But if both work together, an external reward system and an internal drive, we have the best combination for success. Take away the external and the fizz goes out of the drink. We can teach students how to make competition work for them, rather than tell students that competition is bad. Competitors make worthy colleagues. Sometimes they make best friends.

Part of what we supposedly teach in schools is preparation for what we call “the real world.” Now everything about our world is competitive: What school we get into, which college we attend, what job we will be able to beat out the competition for, which of us will get promoted, get pay raises, even who we will marry. Heck, will the hometown team win the ballgame tonight? Now some people refuse to play the competitive game, and that’s all right too. They get jobs that pay them enough to get by, they don’t aspire to the conspicuous consumption of much of our society, and they live solid lives with perhaps relatively less stress. Not everyone wants to be a record-breaking athlete. Just getting by is enough. They have the right to the pursuit of happiness according to their own wishes. But sooner or later they have to compete for something — or someone. It is the way of the world, and it is a skill that can be learned without damaging our students. The consolation to not being the best is that everyone is special in some way, not that everyone is equal because they all showed up.
