of all ages will be evaluated and given feedback on their own bicycle handling abilities. “I encourage all Brookhaven residents with young children to attend,” Losquadro said. “It’s a great opportunity for kids to develop proper bike riding skills and become better, more aware bicyclists, to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries on our roadways.” Participants are required to bring their own helmets and bicycles; both will be inspected for safety.

Town Middle Country students go wild for reading and writing By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com The Middle Country school district hosted its second annual literacy event to celebrate and encourage literacy throughout the district’s 10 elementary schools. The night, titled We Are Wild About Reading and Writing featured three sessions filled with an assortment of workshops focused on engaging students through popular literary works and practicing their reading and writing skills. “This year’s literacy event was, once again, a great success and a stellar representation of the district’s commitment to showcasing student growth,” Superintendent of Schools Roberta Gerold said. “Our teachers continue to work with students on a daily basis to develop their literary skills, offer assignments focused on increasing students’ vocabulary and aid in enhancing their knowledge of sentence structure. It is an honor to witness the progression of students as they advance through elementary school.” More than 25 acclaimed professional authors from throughout Long Island shared their literary works with students and parents. The authors, along with teachers, hosted workshops intended to develop creative writing skills and highlight books that are reading-level appropriate. In addition, a young author’s showcase was held in the library providing select students an opportunity to discuss and read aloud a

Zeldin secures funding for Port Jeff Station and Coram sidewalk project By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com What’s old will soon be new again as U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) announced this week $1.58 million in federal funding would be designated to go towards the construction of new sidewalks and curbs on Old Town Road in Port Jefferson Station and Coram. The funding will cover 80 percent of the total cost of the project. The new sidewalks will span from Route 347 in Port Jefferson Station to Route 112 in Coram along Old Town Road, and some of the improvements included fixes to become compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “This is key funding to improve walkability and bicycle access in the Town of Brookhaven,” Zeldin said in a statement. He said the sidewalks in question are in desperate need of repairs. “Last Congress, I proudly helped lead the bipartisan effort to pass the highway bill, which secured funding for the Surface Transportation Block Grant. Our transportation and infrastructure are essential to the Long Island economy, way of life and safety, and I will continue working to ensure that states and local governments have the flexibility and resources necessary to strengthen our infrastructure and improve transportation safety, job creation, and our overall economy and quality of life.” Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) praised Zeldin for securing the funds because of what it could mean for the environment, as the new paths will create carbon-free transportation alternatives to driving cars, he said.

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) also thanked Zeldin and stressed the importance of infrastructure improve-

ments in the town. “Infrastructure keeps the town moving forward and upgrading it improves our quality of life and creates jobs that drive the local economy,” he said. “Congressman Zeldin has always been a strong advocate for the people of the 1st District, and I look forward to working with him to help find more ways to make Brookhaven a better place to live and work.”

Brookhaven Town Superintendent of Highways Dan Losquadro (R) expressed similar excitement for the impending improvements. “As we work to improve our infrastructure, the construction of bicycle paths and ADA-compliant, accessible sidewalks is crucial in ensuring the safety of our roadways for motorists and pedestrians,” he said.

Advanced specialty care center opens in Commack By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com On April 18, Stony Brook Medicine officially extended its reach to residents in western Suffolk County, with a ribbon cutting for a new, state-of-the-art medical center that provides 30 specialty services under one roof. Advanced Specialty Care in Commack, which opened to the public last month, serves as a “one-stop shopping” destination for the health care needs of patients no matter where they are located. The center itself sits near the Sunken Meadow Parkway, the Northern State Parkway and the Long Island Expressway. The variety of specialties includes internal medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, urology, neurosurgery and radiology. A complete imaging center is on site to provide X-rays, mammograms, ultrasounds, bone densitometry, and CT and MRI scans. Stony Brook doctors, including primary and specialty care internists, gynecologists, orthopedists and surgeons of all kinds, make up the staff. “But this facility is more than just a multispecialty clinic,” Kenneth Kaushansky, M.D., senior vice president for health sciences and dean of Stony Brook University School of Medicine said, addressing a crowd of Stony Brook Medicine and university staff, elected officials and community members. Kaushansky, one of the leaders behind the 120,000-square-foot center, said patients who come to the center have easy access to “the power of Stony Brook medicine.” “As part of Suffolk County’s only academic medical center,” he said “Advanced Specialty Care connects consumers to Stony Brook Medicine’s cutting-edge research, clinical trials and advanced technology. This is what truly distinguishes it from other physician practices in the area. You not only have access to Stony Brook primary care physicians and specialists, but also to the best ideas in medicine.”

He also said the Commack facility will soon be the new home of Stony Brook’s World Trade Center Health Program, a service that offers comprehensive, integrative health care for World Trade Center responders dealing with 9/11-related illnesses. Samuel Stanley, M.D., Stony Brook University president, said the center signifies another Stony Brook step toward creating an aspiring, integrated health care network, focused on providing quality and value, for all of Long Island and beyond. “Every day, we take ambitious ideas from the minds of our expert researchers who are working in medical laboratories, driven by their boundless curiosity, and bring those ideas to life at the patient’s bedside to continuously redefine health care in the 21st century,” Stanley said. “Through our leadership role in health care reform, we are driving forward with new initiatives to improve health, reduce costs and eliminate the unnecessary care for our patients.” Stanley said they were vital to what Stony Brook Medicine does, by helping with the budget and supporting Medicare and Medicaid for the state, among other important contributions. Margaret McGovern, M.D., professor and chair of the department of pediatrics at the university’s School of Medicine and physician-in-chief at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, said this is truly the “power of Stony Brook medicine, closer to you.” “We’re extending the reach of Stony Brook Medicine,” she said, “offering medical expertise in a new and growing market.” She also commended Kaushansky for making the center possible. “Ambitious ideas require exceptional leadership and imaginative solutions, and this project required both,” McGovern said. “I want to thank Ken Kaushansky, especially, for his vision and confidence in moving this project forward. By working together across traditional boundaries, we are achieving a new vision for the future of Stony Brook Medicine.”

At about 12:30 p.m. April 19, a 22-yearold homeless man was driving a 2003 Hyundai on Charm City Drive in Port Jefferson Station when he was pulled over, according to police.

congresman zeldin addresses the audience at a town hall in smithtown.

By Victoria Espinoza Victoria@tbrnewspaper.com

After calls for more public discussions and town hall meetings from constituents in New York’s 1st Congressional District, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) held three town halls this past Sunday. Some praised Zeldin, while other attendees were still left wanting more of a real dialogue with their representative. Cindy Morris, of Stony Brook, attended Zeldin’s third and final town hall of the day at St. Patrick’s Church in Smithtown. “[Progressive groups have] been working very hard asking him to meet with us in a public forum since November,” Morris said in a phone interview. “This was his first attempt and I felt it was important to attend, both to thank him and show this is not an attempt for political theater, like he’s claimed.” Unlike the first two town halls held earlier that day, where she said attendees did not have an opportunity for audience interaction, Morris praised the Smithtown event for giving some audience members a chance to ask a question off the cuff, that hadn’t been screened. “He’s our congressional representative, and the representative piece of that is the most important part of his title,” she said. “We wanted to give him an opportunity to let him know what our values are, what we’re looking for.” Morris said after watching the first two town halls on Facebook Live, she recognized sound bites Zeldin had used repeatedly that day. “Until he’s willing to have a real conversation with his constituents, I think that’s literally political theater,” she said. The event was hosted by Catholics for Freedom of Religion, and President Barbara Samuells thought the event went well. “People were able to do what the event was intended for,” she said in a phone interview. “They were able to come forward in an open environment and ask questions.” Samuells said the everyone was respectful and calm, adding Zeldin was direct, and answered questions honestly. Residents wrote on Zeldin’s Facebook page praising him for the meetings. Bob Voss, of Mastic, recognized the effort. “Most important is the knowledge, skill and ability to listen,” he said. “When [communities forums like these] are done with mutual dignity and respect much can be accomplished.” But others, like Nicolle Zeman, who attended the Riverhead town hall, agreed with Morris. “There was lots of rambling, avoiding answering direct questions and self-serving monologues,” she wrote on a Facebook page called Let’s Visit Lee Zeldin, which is comprised of people who are mainly harsh critics of the congressman. Zeman asked Zeldin about President Donald Trump’s (R) possible tax plan to eliminate the head of household filing status, and said Zeldin instead “rambled,” on about tax reform in general. When she pressed him, he still didn’t answer. “He did say a couple of times that Trump needs to clean up the way he speaks,” she said. “He’s trying to find ways to distance himself from Trump but he’s voting for the Trump agenda.” Morris acknowledged Zeldin is fighting cuts against the Environmental Protection Agency and funding to the Long Island Sound, which is the opposite stance of Trump. FiveThirtyEight, a website focusing on poll analysis, gave Zeldin a 96 percent score for how often he votes in line with the president’s position on house bills. But in the most recent house bill to repeal an FCC rule stopping internet service providers from sharing data of customer’s activities, Zeldin voted no — the opposite of Trump’s, and most other Republicans’ position. Morris also said Zeldin’s staff was also helpful, approaching and getting their contact information to keep people informed. “They asked us if we would stop protesting, we used the hashtag #WhereIsZeldin, and they said we found him here, there’s no more reason to use it,” Morris said. “But I told them we wouldn’t stop after a one-hour moment.” After the town halls Zeldin said he enjoyed meeting with the people of his district that day. “At the community forums, we were able to cover a breadth of very important issues, including health care, the environment, foreign policy, economic growth, several local issues, and so much more,” he said. “I am willing to work with absolutely anyone to move our country forward, no matter what your ideological background is, and I welcome any opportunity to engage in substantive, productive dialogue.”

approximately 500 people turned out at Stony Brook University april 22 to participate in a March for Science rally.

Marchers at Stony Brook rally to support science By rita J. Egan rita@tbrnewspapers.com It was a rainy afternoon April 22, but that didn’t stop local residents along with Stony Brook University students and faculty members from participating in a March for Science rally at the school. Similar marches took place across the country as Americans joined together to show their support for federal funding for science, as well as to remind President Donald Trump (R) and his appointees how important science is, especially when it comes to researching climate change issues. Pamela Block, of Setauket, and professor of disabilities studies at SBU, organized the march with Jenn Solomon, a bilingual speech language pathologist. During a phone interview, Block said approximately 500 people participated, and the marchers ranged in age from young children to senior citizens. Block said the organizations Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, National Audubon Society, United University Professions and others had representatives on hand. Block said she and Solomon were talking to a group of local activists including Shoshanna Hershkowitz of Suffolk Progressives and Cindy Morris of Time2Care Long

Many set up stations to cheer marchers on or were available to drive if anyone fell behind in the marching due to physical demands or having children with them. Hershkowitz was just one of the participants who attended the march with her family, which includes her four children. “As Stony Brook faculty and a Three Village resident, I am proud of how our community is standing up for science,” Hershkowitz said. “Given that our area is a major research hub between Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Lab, we’re

in a unique position to speak to this issue. I attended with my children and with another family, because I think it’s important that my kids see activism modeled, and that they know it is part of our duty as citizens to speak truth to power. While bringing kids to events like these isn’t easy, it’s an important lesson that I want to impress upon my kids as a parent.” Genna Tudda, who has advanced degrees in the sciences and is a 2012 graduate of SBU, said the march hit home for her. While she originally was planning to attend the New York City march, she said, as a Long Island native, it was important for her to show “that people out in the suburbs care just as much about these issues as people in larger cities.” “Scientific research and environmental issues seem to have been put on the back burner in this new administration,” Tudda said. “Seeing this many people show up to a local event was extremely empowering. I feel hopeful that with these numbers it may be possible to persuade our politicians in the right direction.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

A word with Congressman Lee Zeldin, please I am one of the people that would like to talk to Congressman Lee Zeldin about the issues that are being proposed by President Donald Trump (R), as well as the possible scandals of his administration. I know the congressman is an environmentalist when it comes to Long Island, but I’d like to ask him his views on climate change and the Environmental Protection Agency. There are a lot of things to talk about. But the congressman keeps saying that he can’t have town hall meetings because they would be disruptive and because he thinks people will disagree with him and might boo some of

the things he says. People booed at Tim Bishop’s town halls, but he held them anyway. So, I Googled “Lee Zeldin Town Halls” for 2015 and 2016 and found nothing. No town halls during the Obama presidency, and no town halls during the Trump presidency? He was elected to represent all the people of his district. Why isn’t he scheduling town halls whenever there’s a congressional recess to find out what our interests, fears and concerns are? Zeldin’s “telephone town hall” wasn’t a way to meet with his constituents. It was a waste of my time hearing him give one political

non-answer after another, without allowing any follow-up questions to find out where he really stands. Tim Bishop was always willing to have town hall meetings, even when the Tea Party brought a coffin to the town hall because they thought there were “death panels” in Obamacare. And Congressman Bishop answered their questions. What is Zeldin afraid of? U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) held three town halls over the weekend. It is currently unclear if or when the congressman will be holding another town hall.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin speaks during one of three town halls he hosted Sunday, April 23.

Zeldin town halls a positive step, hopefully more to come This past weekend 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) hosted town hall events in Riverhead, Farmingville and Smithtown. Ordinarily, an elected official meeting face to face with constituents shouldn’t be breaking news. When it comes to Zeldin, however, holding these town halls is noteworthy because of how hard some voters pleaded with him in the past few months to participate in an open forum as he did April 23. Before these, he held a phone town hall, which left several constituents upset with the restricting nature of the conversation. Only a handful of questions could be asked, and were submitted prior to the phone call, with thousands listening in. And, of course, there was no face time. We commend Zeldin for listening to the concerns of the people who elected him as their representative all day Sunday, knowing he would face many angry residents. Firsthand accounts of the three meetings returned a mixed bag of reviews. Many were happy to have had the chance to hear Zeldin speak about issues important to them, though others were still unsatisfied because questions for some of the meetings were screened ahead of time and selected by moderators. Holding three town halls was a great step by a congressman who is obviously liked in his district. Nearly 60 percent of the district selected Zeldin on Election Day. He proved he is capable of standing in front of a partially hostile crowd and contributing to a productive dialogue, while the 40 percent of voters who didn’t select him and have been behaving like “liberal obstructionists,” as Zeldin has dubbed them, proved they’re capable of participating in a civilized conversation completely devoid of danger to the congressman. This was a first step by both sides, but more work is clearly left to be done before midterm elections in November 2018. Let’s keep the ball rolling and keep the dialogue open.

In the 21st century, it is so important that we are able to maintain our privacy on the internet. Since the founding of our nation, we have valued personal privacy as an essential right, and in the modern age, the internet should be included under the same protections. What I do on the web is my own business, and the thought that my information may be bought and sold is horrifying. In case you had not heard, the U.S. House of Representatives recently voted on Senate Joint Resolution 34, which would roll back privacy protections on the internet. Thankfully, our representative, Lee Zeldin, voted against this legislation. This resolution would overturn a Federal Communications Commission rule which requires a consumer’s consent before an internet provider sells that person’s data. Essentially, a corporation like Verizon or Optimum may have the power to sell your history without you knowing

and without your permission. This is a breach of privacy. Worse still is how the FCC might be banned from creating similar protections in the years going forward. The right to privacy is a constitutionally guaranteed right, and this resolution violates it in every way, shape, and form. I’d like to thank Congressman Zeldin for going against party lines and voting no. I’ve always believed in people over party, and this shows that Lee Zeldin

actually takes time to review legislation and make an informed decision before voting, unlike so many other lawmakers who simply do as they’re told by party leaders. We need more legislators like him who recognize bad laws when they see them and will do what is right for our country. Shame on every representative who voted for this awful resolution. Let’s just hope no one sells your browsing history.

Transit project promises will never be fulfilled When it comes to transportation, passage of the $153 billion New York State budget was a loser. Governor Andrew Cuomo must still find $5.8 billion more toward the $8.3 billion shortfall he originally promised two years ago to fully fund the $29 billion 2015-19 Metropolitan Transportation Authority Five-Year Capital Plan. There was no money to pay for the $2 billion Long Island Rail Road Main Line Third Track plan (which could benefit

Huntington and Port Jefferson LIRR branch riders), $400 million Nassau Hub Light Rail or Bus Rapid Transit plan, $100 million Route 110 Bus Rapid Transit plan, $40 million Nicolls Road Bus Rapid Transit proposal and several million for Nassau County’s NICE Bus, which would have eliminated the need for closing the Rockville Center Bus Depot and elimination of service on a number of routes. There was no significant increases in state transporta-

tion operating assistance or New York State Department of Transportation capital assistance for the Huntington Area Rapid Transit or Suffolk County Transit systems. Cuomo reminds me of the character Wimpy, who famously said “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” Tuesday will never come for commuters, or taxpayers who desire improved public transit.

OpiniOn Using naysayers’ doubts as fuel for success

he best way to get some people motivated is to tell them what they can’t do. I learned that many years ago. Back in junior high school, I was trying out for the basketball team. With about a thousand other people — okay, maybe it was 50, but it felt like a thousand — hoping to make the team, I appeared at the gym after school. I remember enjoyBy Daniel Dunaief ing basketball from the time I could barely throw the ball high enough to clear the basket. As I got older, I shot up quickly in height. I was never a particularly great shooter. My five-foot, seveninch frame, which puts me below

D. None of the above

the eye level of many of my teenage children’s friends today, seemed taller back then. I could and did grab rebounds, fight for loose balls and play aggressive defense. At the time, we had three days of cuts. The first day, my name appeared on the “come-backtomorrow” list, which meant that I was still one of the chosen few. The second day, after an intense and physical tryout, I knew I’d made the list, because the coach nodded several times when I blocked shots and seemed pleased that I raced up the floor to poke the ball away from someone who thought he had a breakaway layup. It was during lunch on the third day, before the final cut, that I lost my mojo. I was sitting with one of my friends, whom we’ll call John. Through the bits of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that were sticking to his braces, he told me he heard some other kids talking about me on the way to school. “Oh yeah, what did they say?” I asked.

“They said you were still on the list of players who might make the basketball team,” John said. I beamed. The final cut would only eliminate two or three more players, which meant that I just had to keep doing what I was doing earlier in the week and I’d make it. “They also said you travel every time you shoot a layup,” he offered. “What?” I asked, suddenly feeling as if he punched me in the gut. “They said you didn’t belong on the team.” Throughout the afternoon, in my head, I heard the echo of the words “didn’t belong.” When I stepped on the court that day, my feet barely moved and I didn’t even attempt a shot. Not surprising, I didn’t make the team. Would I be in the NBA if John hadn’t planted the “you-can’t-do-it” bug in my ear? Not a chance. Would I have made the team? Well, maybe! About 15 years later, I got a job at Bloomberg News. At the time, it was a growing news service and a securities trading device that refused to

accept second place in anything. The facilities were magnificent, complete with fish tanks on every floor and free food for employees and guests, which included select company like Tom Hanks and Ed Koch, who came to the “Charlie Rose” show. When I got the job, I overheard some of my former colleagues discussing how I didn’t belong at Bloomberg. This time, rather than slink away, I was determined to prove them wrong. While it was a challenging job, I enjoyed the opportunity not only to provide Bloomberg with relevant stories but also to compete against some of the best journalists in New York City. Early in my tenure at Bloomberg, I won a deadline writing award. I’m not suggesting people pour cold water on each other’s aspirations through some misdirected tough love approach. I would, however, urge people not to listen to the nattering nabobs of negativism, a term coined by William Safire and shared by former Vice President Spiro Agnew.
