Serving the Community Since 2000

Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) and Councilman Neil Foley (R-Blue Point), along with New York State Assemblyman Al Graf (R-Holbrook), are announcing the Third Annual Brookhaven Highway Safety Day to be held Sept. 24 at Safety Town, 249 Buckley Road, Holtsville, next to the Holtsville Ecology Site.

“I am proud to offer this very important event to Brookhaven residents,” Losquadro said. “In addition to receiving hands-on bicycle safety instruction, participants can have their helmets and bicycles inspected for safety. Parents, too, can gain peace of mind knowing their child’s car seat is installed and functioning properly. Most importantly, this event serves to prevent bad habits before they begin, while helping to ensure the safety of motorists.”

The day’s events include a free car seat inspection from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., during which Suffolk County Sheriffs and certified technicians from the Brookhaven Highway Department will inspect car seats and provide parents with essential information about child passenger safety; a free bicycle safety rodeo, including a safety inspection and noncompetitive skills course for kids of all ages, from 12 to 3 p.m.; and highway safety demonstrations and interactive displays performed by various organizations, including law enforcement and emergency services from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“As parents, our biggest priority is to

ensure that our children are safe and protected,” Graf said.

Foley said it’s a good time to be hosting the program.

“It’s back to school time and the roads are going to get busy again,” he said. “This is a program that saves lives.”

The rain date for this event is Sept. 25.

Participants are required to bring their own helmets and bicycles for participation in the bicycle rodeo; both will be inspected for safety. Car seat inspections are by appointment only. To schedule an appointment or for more information, contact Safety Town at 631-363-3770.

Host Family program benefits students and hosts

By Wenhao Ma One local organization is helping international students adjust to American life.

An evening reception was held at the Wang Center on the Stony Brook campus last month to introduce new international students to their host families. For 40 years, the Stony Brook Host Family Program has been providing opportunities for international students to learn about America by having them develop relationships with local volunteer families.

“It’s very difficult when you are not really comfortable with the language,” said Rhona Goldman, director of the program.

“This [program] gives students a chance — off campus — to relax and interact with a family.”

Students do not live with the families, but they are invited to join them for meals or to attend events together. Goldman said some families meet with their hosted students two or three times a year, while others see each other on a regular basis.

Goldman and her husband, Dick, are hosting two new international students this year, one from Ghana and the other from China.

International students meet their host families. Director Rhona Goldman is in center of back row.

“There are so many international students,” Dick said. “They come in not knowing anyone. So they will gravitate to people from their own countries. The dorms, classes, study groups — everything turns out that way.”

He said a lot of international students have a difficult time adjusting to the culture. For exam-

ple, they don’t know how to get a driver’s license or open a bank account. A family can ease the transition and make finding their way a much more pleasant experience, he said.

“Rhona and her husband Dick are wonderful,” said Jianing Yan, a former hosted student of theirs who graduated in May. “They

helped me adapt to the life in America. They took me to shopping malls and grocery stores on the very first day I arrived. Also they helped me learn about the American culture … They really make me feel comfortable here.

To me, they are my family.”

Goldman said the students are not the only ones who have

benefited from the program. The families benefit, too.

David Altman became a volunteer last year. He hosted three students last semester and will host another two this fall. He said that he has traveled with his daughter to many countries and is interested in different cultures.

“I’ve studied many languages myself,” Altman said. “I know a little Chinese. [The program] helps me also. So it works both ways.”

The host family program works with the university to send out a notification to all international students after they have been admitted. To become enrolled in the program, both students and host families need to submit applications. Goldman said she matches students with families that share similar interests.

On average, about 120 students a year are assigned to 65 local families. However, according to Goldman, this year many students could not be placed simply because there are not enough hosts. She encourages families to learn more about the program and consider becoming hosts.

“We want to serve as many students as possible,” she said.

“It’s a most rewarding program.”

O.B. DAVIS RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH J.D. POWER PRESIDENT'S AWARD

Stop&Shop supermarkets now offer free fruit for kids

By Donna newman Donna@tbrenwspapers.com

Robert Sturges, Cindy Cavorti & Ralph Ferrara.

The Dignity Memorial Network of Funeral Providers represented locally by the O.B. Davis Funeral Homes, the nation’s largest provider of funeral and cemetery services has been recognized for its commitment to excellence in customer satisfaction recently when it received the prestigious President's Award from JD Power.

The President's Award recognizes individuals or companies demonstrating dedication, commitment and continued client satisfaction in serving families. During the 40-year history of JD Power, only 12 companies have previously received the award.

It’s good to be a kid at Stop&Shop because the grocery chain has launched a Free Fruit for Kids program in all of its stores, offering a free piece of fruit to children age 10 and under.

Parents and caregivers have to go no further than the produce department to find a healthy snack option for kids while they are shopping. With support from produce partners, the Free Fruit for Kids program focuses on providing healthy snacking for kids while parents or caregivers shop.

“We hope to help shape healthier habits in our tiniest of customers by offering a convenient and naturally sweet snack to enjoy as they shop with their parents,” said Julie Hersey, nutritionist for Stop&Shop.

Port Jeff company is ensuring no roof is left behind

By ReBecca anzel Whenever Denise Pianforte saw one of her neighbors getting a new roof installed, she hoped to soon be able to afford one as well. The Port Jefferson Station home she lived in with her sister, Heather Richards, was 60 years old.

Pianforte saw a flier on her church’s bulletin board for a program that advertised a free roof for a Suffolk County family in need. “I always pray to God to help me find a way to get the money [for a new roof],” she wrote in the online nomination form. She added that even with her and her sister each working two jobs at over 50 hours a week, it looked like the day would never come. “Seems like my only hope would be to win the lottery.”

She did not win the lottery, but she did win the new roof. A-1 Roofing & Siding, a family owned and operated contractor in Port Jefferson Station, installed it Feb. 6.

Maria Malizia and her three brothers, who took over running the business after their father retired, became involved in the national No Roof Left Behind program last year.

No Roof Left Behind provides contractors with the necessary tools and resources to construct a free roof for a local family in need.

The program was founded in 2009 by Jay and Dena Elie, the owners of a Detroit roofing firm called Ridgecon Construction.

Malizia said that they were immediately interested in the opportunity to help deserving families in Suffolk County.

“We’ve been in the community for decades and were just happy that we were finally able to give back a little,” Malizia said. “When we heard about the program, we said to ourselves, how could we not do this.”

After helping Denise Pianforte and Heather Richards, Malizia said the immediate gratification let them know they needed to continue their involvement with No Roof Left Behind.

“They were really grateful, excited and relieved that they were safe under a new roof and didn’t have to worry about any leaks in the future,” Maria Malizia said.

Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said No Roof Left Behind is providing the community an important service.

“We are fortunate to live in an area such as Port Jefferson Station where residents and local businesses strongly believe in giving back to their community,” she said. “I commend A-1 Roofing for their sponsorship of the program.”

The importance of community support is not lost on the organization.

“This is a nice way for contractors to engage the community,” said Dena Elie, who is

Every day we make lots of choices and decisions that can impact our health. Some decisions involve what we eat, where we eat, what we drink, how we get to school or work and how we spend our free time. With overweight and obesity affecting so many of our youth today, parents and caregivers need tools to help establish good habits that can have a lasting impact on their family’s health.

More than 247 roofs have been installed by 60 contractors in more than 27 states and provinces since the program’s founding.

As a participating contractor, A-1 Roofing pays an annual subscription fee. That gives it access to outreach and promotional materials Elie created, and designates the firm as the sole participating contractor in Suffolk County. It is one of two in New York — the other, Marshall Exteriors, is located in Newark.

Nominations for this year’s recipient are open until Oct. 31. Malizia said Suffolk County community members are invited to submit photos and a brief paragraph to the local No Roof Left Behind website.

Then, the roofing contractor will narrow the list down to four finalists. Malizia said A-1 considers whose roof is least able to survive the winter months. When the finalists are revealed,

residents can vote from Nov. 14 to Dec. 16 for the winner, who will be announced on Dec. 23.

Currently, there are four nominees — two from Sound Beach, one from Amityville and the other Nesconset.

The day the new roof is installed is usually a huge celebration, Elie said. She encourages contractors to bring members of the community to meet the winning family. A-1 will be using materials donated by General Aniline & Film (GAF) and delivered to the home by Allied Building Products, both national sponsors.

“Roofing contractors are a group of bighearted fellows,” Elie said. “They grow to care for the folks they’ve put rooves on for, and I think one of the most rewarding things to see is a sense of community develop.”

Malizia said her family is looking forward to helping more Suffolk County families.

“We all know how difficult it is to survive when you don’t have a safe roof — it’s a constant worry,” she said. “We’re going to keep participating as long as we’re able.”

Citizens Campaign for the Environment Executive Director Adrienne Esposito applauded Spencer’s legislation.

“Plastic bags are a mistake of the past,” she said in a statement. “Reusable bags are the solution for the future. This legislation will reduce plastic bag use by 60 percent or more and that will make our communities and our bays cleaner and greener, and save us money. Kudos to Suffolk County Legislator Doc Spencer for his leadership and persistence in protecting our environment.”

The CCE said there is more plastic in the oceans than plankton, with 46,000 pieces of plastic in every square mile. Many marine animals are choked and strangled by bags, or die consuming them. The CCE said plastic

John Durso, president of Local 228, a retail labor union and Long Island Federation of Labor, said the bill will introduce positive change to Suffolk County.

“The Suffolk County plastic bag law is truly an innovative bill that takes great steps to cut back on environmental waste, while also addressing the needs of local workers and businesses,” he said in a statement. “We were glad to work with the Suffolk County Legislature to collaborate on a landmark legislation that will protect our environment for future generations of Suffolk County’s working families.”

The fee will go into effect Jan. 1, 2018.

Suffolk County extends help to first-time homebuyers Down Payment Assistance Program to help 35 families

By Donna nEwman Donna@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) recently announced the extension of the Suffolk County Down Payment Assistance Program, which assists first-time homebuyers with funds for a down payment to help make the “American Dream” of homeownership a reality.

Assistance will provide up to $10,000 in grant funding to eligible first-time homebuyers — helping an additional 35 Suffolk County families. Since the program’s inception, Suffolk County has helped more than 1,700 families with down payments on their first homes.

Applications are now being accepted through Nov. 30. Residents may download the application through the Community Development tab on the County’s website, www.suffolkcountyny.gov.

Applications will be accepted by mail only and may also be requested by telephone from the Community Development Office: 631-853–5705.

Bellone stressed that qualified Suffolk

County residents must purchase a home within the consortium area. They will have 90 days from the date of issuance of the Purchase Certificate to submit a fully executed Contract of Sale to the Community Development Office — or 300 days to submit a fully executed contract of sale if the first-time homebuyer is purchasing a new construction home.

The consortium includes all of Suffolk County, excluding the Towns of Babylon and Islip.

Comprehensive details of the eligibility criteria, income guidelines and other elements of the program are available on the County website. Key eligibility elements include: •An applicant must be a first-time homebuyer as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a household that has not owned a home during the three-year period immediately prior to the purchase of a residence with HOME funding.

•Prospective applicants must represent a low to moderate income household with an annual income not exceeding 80 percent of the area median income as de-

•The maximum appraised value of a sin-

gle-family residence to be purchased within the Suffolk County Consortium HOME Selection Area cannot exceed $356,000 for existing housing or new construction.

The following kinds of housing are eligible: single family homes, condominiums and cooperative apartments (co-ops).

Letters to the editor

File photo from SCPD

Anna Throne-Holst: It’s time Congress takes action to stop gun violence Stock photo

A new law will encourage Suffolk County residents to bring reusable bags to the grocery store with them.

The state should lend a hand to limit bags This month, Suffolk County took a step to help reduce plastic bag pollution.

The Suffolk County Legislature approved a bill that, starting in January 2018, will charge 5 cents per plastic bag used by a consumer at a grocery store. The idea of the law is to encourage residents to bring reusable bags to the grocery store with them to help reduce plastic bag waste that threatens marine life and the environment on the North Shore and across Long Island.

Like any bill, there were supporters and detractors.

Supporters praised the positive impact this bill would have on the environment and protestors argued that this is just another fee that is going right back to the grocery stores.

Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D- Centerport) introduced the legislation and agreed with voices that said the money should go somewhere else, like toward environmental organizations. However, he said it’s not that easy. The state must act and create a bill that supersedes his, since Suffolk County does not have the authority to impose a tax that would divide the fee.

So we as an editorial staff urge the New York State Legislature to take action and do what we see as a no brainer.

A plastic bag fee that gives the majority of the funds collected to an environmental group helps the Earth twice. People are encouraged to eschew plastic bags, while money is also raised to help the environment — from the people who choose not to do so.

It’s high time to stop simply talking about gun violence and start doing something about it.

A large majority of Americans already supports commonsense gun laws and public safety measures. They recognize that far too many people are dying or losing loved ones at the hands of weak gun safety laws. I recognize it, too, and that’s an important difference between me and my opponent in our campaign for Congress.

Truthfully, the facts are staggering. Each year more than 33,000 men, women and children die in gun deaths, counting murders, suicides and accidents.

Unfortunately, Lee Zeldin, my opponent, votes right down the line with the corporate gun lobby, which as everyone knows intimidates elected officials from passing any commonsense gun reforms whatsoever.

Mr. Zeldin refuses even to expand background checks to all commercial gun sales, which would stop dangerous felons and domestic abusers from buying

guns. He is the only member of the Long Island congressional delegation who refuses to support the no-nonsense legislation to prevent suspects on the terrorist watch list from purchasing firearms.

Mr. Zeldin has placed himself far to the extreme right of his own party.

Nationally, 90 percent of Republican voters favor background checks on all gun buyers.

Some 85 percent support a ban barring those on the terrorist watch list from buying guns.

Our current policy absolutely makes no sense. If you’re deemed too dangerous to fly on an airplane, why should you be allowed to buy a deadly weapon? Yet in each of the last three years, more than 200 people on the terrorist watch list have not been stopped from buying guns.

I am the mother of four and I have spent my life working to protect and nurture children.

There is no more urgent task than sheltering our children from terrorism, whether from abroad

or home-grown. As your representative in Congress, I would be committed to doing real work to keep guns out of the hands of violent felons, domestic violence perpetrators and individuals suffering from mental illness.

I will fight to close the gun-show loophole and require background checks for those purchasing a gun. I am also committed to finally regulating the high-impact assault weapons that have too often been the weapon of choice in mass shootings across the United States.

Sadly, gun deaths in the United States already rival traffic fatalities in number. Yet while a host of sensible laws and regulations promote traffic safety, we do next to nothing to bring down the lives lost to the misuse of guns. Lee Zeldin is part of the road block, and it’s time to get him out of the way.

I’ve been listening for weeks to attacks on the evil Clinton Foundation. I want to share my experience with the organization. Sixteen years ago I became involved in opening a home for AIDS-affected children in Meru, Kenya, a town then being ravaged by the AIDS pandemic. We were able to open the home in 2005 to the first 18 children, three of whom were HIV positive. Since then, the number of children we support has risen to 78. In 2007 I heard a report on

the radio that the Clinton Foundation was spearheading an AIDS initiative in East Africa that would supply life-saving drugs to those afflicted with the disease. I called the Clinton Foundation offices in Harlem and asked for the name and number of their contact person in Nairobi. I shared this information with my colleague Joseph Kirima, the director of our home in Kenya. He immediately drove to Nairobi and met with the Foundation representative. We

soon began to receive the AIDS medication free of charge. Our three HIV-positive children, now teenagers, are still with us, and the threat of AIDS has diminished, in part because of the efforts of the AIDS Initiative. I think we need to look at the Clinton Foundation in the larger context of what it has accomplished, instead of viewing it as a campaign issue.

OpiniOns Questions for the presidential candidates at their first debate

M

onday, we will finally get to see, on the same stage, the presidential candidates who hate each other, find each other unqualified, and who long ago seem to have taken the gloves off in their smackdown.

Here are just a few of the questions I’d ask the man and woman who would like to be our president: • People don’t like either of you, including politicians in Washington. Secretary Clinton, how will you bring together Democrats and Republicans,

By Daniel Dunaief when your war with so many Republicans dates back to your years as first lady? And, Mr. Trump, notable Democrats and Republicans seem to find your style and policies confounding. How much

D. None of the above

can you really accomplish without the broad-based support of Republicans?

• Mr. Trump, you suggested that Congress shouldn’t consider President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee and they haven’t. What would you do if you were President Obama and the Senate openly ignored your choice for Supreme Court?

• Mrs. Clinton, there’s a frequent line from courtroom dramas like Law & Order that goes something like this: “You said X when the detectives spoke to you and now you’re saying Y. Which is it? Were you lying then or are you lying now?” People don’t trust you. You don’t seem completely forthcoming, even about your pneumonia, until we see pictures of you stumbling into your SUV. How do we know when you’re sharing the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

• Mr. Trump, are you going to release your tax returns? The longer you go without sharing them, the more people wonder if you’re hiding something. You believe your opponent selectively discloses details about her-

self all the time, but you’re not sharing something most, if not all, candidates have shared. What gives?

• Mr. Trump, you have suggested on a few occasions that advocates of the second amendment might have something to say about Hillary Clinton’s position on gun control. You claim that people misinterpret what you say because you didn’t mean what you said when you wrote it. Your rhetoric, were you to be president, would mean something far different from what it does when you’re tweeting. If you were president, would you tamp down the bluster that people might misinterpret?

Do you feel you can and should be able to shoot from the hip, as it were, whenever it suits your interests?

• Neither of you seems ready to say the kinds of things we would hope to teach our children, such as “I’m sorry,” or “I was wrong.” Can each of you name a situation or circumstance in public life when you made a mistake and you recognize that you could and should have done better?

• Okay, turning away from each

other, what policy do each of you guarantee wouldn’t change one iota and for which you would be inflexible or unwilling to compromise if either of you became president? Candidates often make promises they can’t keep when they’re elected. Is there anything you will pursue in its current form from your platforms?

• You both must recognize that your own rhetoric has alienated voters and raised concerns among various groups about your ability to lead and act on their behalf. Mrs. Clinton, how would you reconcile with Trump’s “deplorables,” as you put it, and Mr. Trump, how would you represent MuslimAmericans, Americans of Mexican heritage or any of the other people you’ve alienated if you became president?

• This campaign seems steeped in negativity. What is the most positive message each of you can share? How would that positive message make people feel better about the election and, down the road, the prospects for themselves and for this country? Be as specific as possible.

New Yorkers first; then first ladies

H

istory came alive on the distaff side last Monday night, as Liz Kahn Kaplan talked about the nine first ladies born in New York State. Kaplan, a longtime resident of this area and prominent member of the Three Village Historical Society, as well as an author and docent at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, combined her appreciation for history and art with delicious details from the lives of the nine

By Leah S. Dunaief women to make a delightful and informative evening at the Neighborhood House.

So who are those women?

Some of them we can tick off readily: Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan. Others are shrouded in more distant history. They are the wives of Presidents

Between you and me

Monroe, Van Buren, Tyler, Cleveland and Fillmore.

Here is an example of one of Kaplan’s anecdotes about these women.

Elizabeth Monroe, born of an aristocratic Loyalist family in 1768, who disregarded the disapproval of her father to go ahead and marry the patriot James Monroe, is generally credited with saving the life of Madame de Lafayette. The wife of the French hero of the American Revolution was incarcerated as a result of her aristocratic heritage during the Reign of Terror and about to be guillotined, as had been her grandmother, mother and sister before her. At the time, Monroe was the ambassador to France, but was unable to officially intercede. Elizabeth Monroe, not bound by diplomatic constraints, acted on her own and publicly went to visit Mme. Lafayette in prison, promising to return each day.

Not wanting an appearance of conflict with America, the French authorities released Mme. Lafayette the next day.

When Monroe became president, did the American public appreciate his wife? They did not, as Kaplan reported. She was far too elegant and

aristocratic for American tastes.

Tyler’s wife, Julia Gardiner, born on Gardiner’s Island, was known a bit infamously as the “rose of Long Island” and was called “madam presidentress,” the term “first lady” not having been coined until much later. Gardiner was Tyler’s second wife, and she attracted a lot of attention by being the first to marry a sitting president and for being 30 years younger than him. Tyler’s eldest daughter was five years older than her stepmother.

And so the stories unfolded, Kaplan keeping her audience totally engaged for well over an hour. Martin Van Buren, the first president to be born after American independence, and the only president to speak English as a second language, married his childhood sweetheart, Hannah Hoes. She spoke Dutch at home with her husband and was his first cousin once removed. Millard Fillmore married Abigail Powers, a schoolteacher. Both were upstate New Yorkers.

Grover Cleveland, who served two terms, but not consecutively, married Frances Folsom, a woman 22 years younger. A bachelor when he entered office, he married the daughter of a

close friend. He had looked after her as executor of his friend, Oscar Folsom’s, estate and simply waited until she was old enough before they married. At 21, Frances was the youngest first lady, and she was well-liked. She is appreciated for having started kindergarten in schools.

The other first ladies are well known to us. Eleanor Roosevelt is credited as the most influential and active first lady in our history. The longestserving first lady, as wife of four-term president Franklin Roosevelt, she went on to a public life of her own. Jackie Kennedy became an American idol and is known for her cultural efforts and redecorating the White House. Barbara Bush, with her forthright style, her constant loyalty and support of her family, and refusal to dye her hair when her husband became president, was always a more popular figure than he. And Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan’s second wife, was a diminutive and elegant first lady whose life was dedicated to protecting her husband after the assassination attempt that wounded him and his press secretary.

They are fascinating women and we can claim them as our own.

Smithtown West tops Cougars in heated matchup

But the 1-4 Cougars gave the team a run for its money.

Smithtown West assistant coach Steve Ianone said it was difficult for his team to gain any kind of traction during the contest.

“The game was stopped so many times during the course of play … neither team could get into any kind of groove, so we just couldn’t get a flow going,” Ianone said. “I was pleased with everyone’s overall performance on the field today, though, especially with the stop-and-go play.”
