CALL TO SAVE $250** Photo from state Sen. John Flanagan’s office
State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) recently visited St. Joseph’s Village to deliver a brand-new New York State flag to the residents of the community. The visit came about following a replacement flag request from Social Service Coordinator Angela Cammarata who reached out to Flanagan’s office. The new flag will replace a worn-out older version and will now fly on the flagpole
in front of the community building right alongside the U.S. flag. “It is always my pleasure to visit the residents of St. Joseph’s Village, and I thank Angela for reaching out to my office for assistance,” Flanagan said. “The residents who live here are proud Americans and New Yorkers and it is my honor to help them continue their tradition of honoring our state and our nation.”

Middle Country Students Play a Part in Recycling BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Thanks to a Suffolk County pilot program, students in the Middle Country Central School District have been learning about the importance of recycling and have been quite successful at the task. On Oct. 3, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) came to Hawkins Path Elementary School in Selden to announce that students who participated in the Suffolk School Recycling Program, which was launched last year, recycled 35 tons of paper during the 2018-19 school year. Hawkins Path students, as well as New Lane Elementary School in Selden and Unity Drive PreK/Kindergarten Center in Centereach, were among the more than 6,000 children that participated in the partnership with the county. During the pilot program, Hawkins Path, Unity Drive and New Lane recycled 2,330, 4,554 and 8,043 pounds of paper, respectively. Hawkins Path and New Lane also recycled a combined total of approximately half a ton of bottles and cans, according to county officials. Roberta Gerold, Middle Country Central School District superintendent, congratulated the schools. “Our students’ enthusiasm for this project clearly articulates the value of recycling and of sustaining resources,” she said. “The Suffolk School Recycling Program has inspired all of Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone poses with the Hawkins Path Recycling Crew.

Long Island School District Sues E-cigarette Manufacturer
Police
BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Three Village Central School District is joining the fight against vaping devices. In a letter from Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich and Board of Education President William Connors, the district announced it became the first school district in New York to join a national lawsuit against e-cigarette manufacturer Juul. “As educators, it is our duty to protect the health and safety of our students, and we believe this company is compromising those efforts while simultaneously disrupting the educational process by marketing to teens,” Pedisich and Connors wrote. Officials stated in the letter that legal fees will be covered by the firms representing the parties in the suit and will not come from district taxes. The district officials said in the letter vaping devices are easy for teenagers to hide and use. “This epidemic, while a national one, has had a direct and grave impact on our local school community,” the school officials said. “As a district, we have needed to divert resources and deploy new ones to combat the problem of teen vaping.” Three Village has installed devices to detect vaping, created prevention programs, adjusted health curricula to focus on the dangers of vaping, created a new student assistant counselor position to focus on prevention and treatment, and embraced new disciplinary actions and a districtwide zero-tolerance policy on vaping, according to the letter. Nearly 40 percent of 12th grade students

and 27 percent of high school students in New York State are now using e-cigarettes, according to New York State officials. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states on its website that the use of e-cigarettes is unsafe for children, teens and young adults, as most e-cigarettes contain nicotine and other harmful substances. According to the agency, highlyaddictive nicotine can harm adolescent brain development, which continues into the early to mid-20s. As at Oct. 8, the CDC has reported 1,080 vaping-associated illnesses in the United States with 23 deaths. There have been 110 cases attributed to New York, according to the state’s health department. On the same day, the death of a Bronx teen was announced as the first confirmed fatality related to vape products in New York. New York State was originally set to ban the creation and sale of flavored e-cigarette products Oct. 4, but a day before the deadline the state appellate court put that order on hold until the court reconvenes Oct. 18.

Police: Man With Sword Shot and Killed in Port Jeff
BY DAVID LUCES AND KYLE BARR DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
Suffolk County police said a man threatening a liquor store clerk with a sword was shot and killed in Port Jefferson last Thursday afternoon by a shop owner on East Main Street. Police responded to a 911 call that came in at 2:23 p.m. Oct. 3 that a person at Port Jeff Liquors, located at 156 E. Main St., had shot and killed a man who had allegedly come into the shop “swinging a sword,” a police spokesperson said. The man with the sword was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported. Police later identified the man as Theodore Scoville, 50. Accounts from security footage have largely verified the owner’s accounts of the situation to police, and the owner is not being charged. Trustee Kathianne Snaden and Deputy Mayor Stan Loucks were at the scene shortly after the shooting and were updating both the public and media. “His actions posed an eminent threat to the merchant, who, regrettably, was forced to shoot the individual in defense of himself,” Snaden wrote on Facebook after the incident Oct. 3.
Officials with the Port Jefferson School District said Oct. 4 that buses had just left from the high and middle schools after 2 p.m. when a call from the village came in about the incident. The buses were notified en route, which then avoided the area. Mayor Margot Garant wrote on Facebook that their hearts go out to shop owner and Port Jeff resident Steve Plunkette and his family, along with the family of the deceased. “The tragic and abhorrent event that took place today in the Village of Port Jefferson was a rare and isolated event which in no way reflects the beautiful historic community that we truly are,” she wrote. Fred Leute, the acting chief of code enforcement, said constables were on the scene shortly after the event. Leute said Scoville was known to frequent Port Jeff every two to three weeks on Thursdays, having a schedule of visiting the Port Jefferson Free Library when new magazines became available, or he would arrive when the weather was nice. The chief added the man had never presented a problem for constables previously. The liquor store closed for a day but was back in business in the rest of the week. Groups of people came down throughout the weekend to show support to the business owner.

Wolverines Edge Tigers, 2-1 BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
The Newfield Wolverines, 4-3 in the league, hosted the Northport Tigers, who stand 4-2, Oct. 7. Both teams looked to move into second place in League III behind Huntington and League III leader Smithtown West. Sonny Farrell, the junior midfielder, broke the ice for Newfield scoring 21 minutes in when co-captain Lorenzo Selini scored an insurance goal with six minutes left to take it 2-0 into the halftime break. Northport senior Tage Oster made a game of it heading the ball into the net 10 minutes into the second half but
the Wolverines dug and held on for the 2-1 win. Chris Cusimano had four saves in net for Newfield, and Joseph Kearns stopped five for the Tigers. Northport retakes the field when they host Hills East on Oct. 11, and the Wolverines will try their hand with Hills East on the road Oct. 16. Both games kickoff at 4 p.m. Pictured clockwise from above, Wolverines celebrate a goal; Newfield senior defender Chris Vientimilla, right, battles Northport’s Dan Costello; Vientimilla with the header for Newfield; Northport’s Michael Pinzone, 9, fights for possession with Newfield’s Joe Fuentes; Northport senior Peter DeTolla, left, battles with Newfield’s Gaven Oliviera; and Farrell maintains possession. — Photos by Bill Landon

Businesses Should Look to End Discrimination
Congress holds the key to pass a bill for gun control, but don’t hold your breath. In 2009, under former President Barack Obama [D] with a super democratic majority, what was accomplished? During his eight years, there were 32 mass shootings and the deadly Sandy Hook shooting that left 28 people killed (20 young children). Are our children being protected like Congress today? Only in New York City schools are there metal detectors, police officers, locked doors and safety officers. Recently, in June, Mayor Bill de Blasio [D] announced an initiative to put more social workers and less police in city schools. Detailed background checks, curtailing access to assault weapons, mental health reviews are all good, but the gun is only one tool of mass destruction. What about when pressure cookers, knives and moving vehicles are used? We seem to be repeating superficial answers to our complex cultural problems. We have yet to hear on a state or national level a discussion with
Editorial
If you ignore prejudice, you invite prejudice. Stony Brook University officials recently hosted a forum in Port Jefferson to highlight how, despite efforts to stamp out prejudice in the local community, its specter constantly lingers in the background. The catalyst for the panel discussion was a recent incident, where a Sikh man was essentially barred from entering a restaurant because his religious garb was misunderstood. Presenters praised the more than 40 people, mostly business owners, who attended the panel for being open-minded. Many walked away with new insights and goals in mind. It makes little economic nor moral sense to restrict who can buy your products or shop because of a lingering prejudice, so we agree that all North Shore businesses should be looking for ways to become more inclusive. Prejudice sits just under the skin of a community and surfaces regularly. Back in May, a gay couple were called “faggots” by a waiter as they left a restaurant in Smithtown. The restaurant wrote a long apology on its Facebook page, but not until after the news was carried far and wide. That incident not only looks bad on that one individual and the business where they are employed, but the stigma is transmitted to all surrounding businesses. People can pretend that prejudice is contained as overt acts of aggression, yet the truth is less obvious. In reality, much of Long Island is dotted with areas of high wealth, situated alongside areas of upper and lower middle class. Consider Long Island school districts, which dictate their own boundaries. Segregation among school districts is such that the majority of Brentwood students, for example, are black and Hispanic, while a district like Three Village is comprised of more than 80 percent white students. To pretend that such overt segregation doesn’t lead to ignorance and prejudice is fooling oneself. The truth is that Long Island is regarded as one of the most segregated metropolitan regions in the country. Restricting somebody from entering a restaurant is overt in its ignorance. It’s wrong for a whole host of reasons, and in the small relatively insular communities of the North Shore of Long Island, those ideas are hard to wrestle away. But those ideas must be torn away, ripped up and be jammed deep to the bottom of the garbage bin. Our local shops have a lot they can do to help. The Stony Brook University panel suggested businesses talk about hiring people to become more diverse. Simply putting a sign in a store window inviting people of all races, religions, creeds, sexual orientations and genders to shop can emphasize inclusivity. Learn to recognize prejudice and then take a stand when you see it, especially if it’s within your own thoughts and actions. There are benefits to racial and cultural diversity. Let’s celebrate our differences.

Don’t Hold Your Breath regards to the bombardment of violence via the TV, movies and electronic games and the effects of marijuana and other drugs that can add to the prevalent mental illness and violence. It really needs to start at home, with parents, relatives, friends, teachers, ministers, doctors, police and judges. Taking action individually and locally as former President Harry Truman [D] said, “The buck stops here.” Perhaps our state leadership can “reprioritize” projects that cost millions and spend resources wisely on the cause and effects of violence. A major challenge is that criminals do not abide by laws, and we need to remember as Americans that our Second Amendment was put in place not for hunting and home defense but was created to give citizens the right to fight back against a tyrannical government — having just fought off the British during the Revolutionary War. In conclusion, we value scrutinization of information. Facts matter but more important is if the resources are accurate
and not part of a revised history. To set the record straight with regards to former President Woodrow Wilson [D], from a critic, he was not supportive of the Nineteenth Amendment — giving women the right to vote — which was met with much resistance for many years. In fact the government used heavy-handed tactics and unspeakable brutalities, and National Woman’s Party attorneys had to step in. The Republicans gained control of both the House and Senate after the 1918 elections, and it was the Republicans who passed the Nineteenth Amendment, June 4, 1919, and ratified Aug. 18, 1920. Now our Congress, with the impeachment inquiries, is in a “summer rerun” of the Mueller report on a revised movie of “Groundhog Day” since they returned to Washington from their vacations. They are too preoccupied to work on things that matter to the American citizen. Lisa Pius Carol Florio Old Field
Suffolk’s Fiscal Stress Unsustainable It’s official: For the second year in a row, Suffolk County has been rated the most fiscally stressed county in the state. This is not from some think tank, this is directly from the New York State Comptroller’s Office, and the report shows what I have been saying all along: Suffolk is in a fiscal crisis. To say that the county is showing “significant” fiscal stress, like the report said, is a gross understatement. According to the state comptroller’s office, the county’s general fund balance is running a deficit of over $91 million. That is more than three times the figure from three years ago. It also shows that, since 2016, expenditures have outpaced revenues. That is because our current county executive, Steve Bellone (D), is spending more than the county is taking in and continues to borrow against our future. And because of our junk bond status, he will borrow at higher interest rates, burdening the county’s taxpayers. This is not a problem that can be solved by increasing taxes. The truth of the matter is, unlike what County Executive Steve Bellone would have you
believe, most county taxpayers in its five western towns have experienced annual tax increases averaging about 4 percent per year over the past several years, well above the 2 percent tax cap. County residents are simply taxed too much and can no longer afford to live here. We are in a fiscal free fall, with insufficient cash flow, making it difficult to pay the county’s bills. We are now in a position where we are having difficulty meeting our financial obligations from week to week. Many of our vendors are receiving delayed payments, putting significant financial stress on them as well. It means these companies will not meet payroll, employees will not be paid on time, jobs will be in jeopardy and, in many cases, a reduction in services to the taxpayers. How has this affected Suffolk’s fiscal crisis? The comptroller’s report goes on to say that, from 2017 to 2018, Suffolk’s population decreased by 1.28 percent, home values declined by 12.52 percent and more than 17.5 percent of the county’s population rely on state and federal aid just to live here. But who can afford to live here? Since
Steve Bellone took office in 2012, Suffolk residents have been burdened with $200 million in new taxes and fees, a 22.4 percent hike in the property tax levy and a 15 percent budget increase — along with nearly $900 million in debt, seven bond downgrades and seven fiscal emergencies — and we have seen over 16,000 residents flee Suffolk. Our younger generation cannot afford to live here, and our seniors can no longer afford to stay here. The tax-and-spend policies of this administration have created this fiscal crisis and have hurt Suffolk County taxpayers. This has to end. Our finances are on the brink of disaster and, if we are hit with another recession or an economic slowdown, sales tax revenues, which the county heavily relies on, will be reduced. This is what keeps comptrollers up at night, and I worry about the impact it will have on our county, its taxpayers, employees and those who rely on it for vital services. John Kennedy Suffolk County Comptroller Republican candidate for Suffolk County Executive

A Little Appreciation Goes a Long Way
I
speak with a police officer near my son’s school regularly. She steps into four lanes of frantic morning commuting traffic to allow people to maneuver into and out of a school parking lot. She offers a pleasant, “Good morning,” to people who roll down their windows or who walk past her. As she steps carefully into a heavily trafficked street, she makes eye contact with drivers. D. None She waves of the above to the waiting BY DANIEL DUNAIEF parents to make their turns and rejoin the flow of traffic to work or to their next morning destination. She sends them off from school
with a pleasant, “Have a great day,” as they drive around her. Recently, I pulled up to the stop sign and saw the officer holding her stomach. “What’s happening?” I asked. “I just can’t stop laughing,” she said. “I see the same crazies every day. I’m used to them. There’s this guy who drives a pickup truck and he cusses at me every time he passes. I’m not sure why.” “Is that funny?” I asked. “No, today, a woman looked right at me, clapped, gave me the thumbs up and raised her fist. She seemed so happy that I was here.” “That’s great,” I said. “Yeah, she made my day,” the officer said, again holding her stomach. “That was just so funny.” This police officer spends her day looking in car windows, hoping people stop instead of running her over or creating traffic hazards for children or their parents near schools. And yet, this driver made her happy by sharing an effusive and appreciative series of
simple gestures. The movements the woman made are the kinds of displays superstar athletes see every time they step on a sports field or tennis court. These expressions of appreciation, gratitude and admiration are so common that many of the players block out the sounds so they can focus on the game. But for this officer, the show of support was a welcome sight. A day before, a friend told me that he and his daughter pulled into a parking lot, where a parking attendant asked for $3. When he handed out the money, his daughter leaned across him and thanked the attendant. The attendant smiled and directed them to a spot nearby. “What are you thanking him for?” my friend asked. “What did he do?” “He’s doing his job and I appreciate it,” his daughter said. “Why can’t you appreciate it?” “He’s taking my money,” the friend reasoned. “Yes, and you’re getting a place to park,”
she said. My friend recognized the value of the words. Besides, even if it didn’t make the attendant’s day, it didn’t cost anything and it may have helped the car park collector feel like someone cared that a good job was being done. In that same vein, I’d like to thank you for reading this column today and any other time you take the time to read it. I know you could be doing numerous other tasks and I appreciate the opportunity to share words, thoughts or experiences with you. I realize you don’t always agree with me. Maybe climate change isn’t top of your mind or you have perfect children who never once frustrate and amuse you, or your dog is so well trained that it never jumps up on anyone or consumes a plate full of warm cookies. But I appreciate the chance to connect with you. Maybe today, tomorrow or next week, you can also pass along an appreciative gesture. Who knows? You might make the day of a police officer, a baker, a mail carrier or a dog walker.
Talking to Strangers Can Be Revealing or Can Be Something Else
A
book I recently finished and enjoyed has topped The New York Times Best Sellers Hardcover Nonfiction list, so clearly many others appreciate it as well. It is “Talking to Strangers,” Malcolm Gladwell’s latest offering. Reading it, in some ways, is like a summary of controversial current events, with a lot of interesting yet extraneous information thrown in because that makes for a good story. And one thing about Gladwell: He is a good storyteller. The author of Between previous bestsellers you and me including “The TipBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF ping Point,” and “Blink,” Gladwell is said to turn social science into best selling books. One of the critics
said that he could probably make a riveting story about a pencil sharpener. Initially I picked up the book because of its title. I thought it could have been written for me because I habitually and notoriously talk to strangers. I say it that way because I’m not sure the people I am with always appreciate sharing me but I can’t help myself. When I am in a theater and it is intermission, I am interested in how the people around me like the show. When I am at the opera — where a surprising number of different languages are spoken by the audience — I wonder where the people next to me come from and I ask them. Sometimes I even begin chatting with others in an elevator in conversations of obviously limited duration. Lest you think I am an insensitive pest, I rush to assure you that if those questioned by me would seem unwilling to talk, I would immediately become silent. But I find quite the contrary. Most people seem to enjoy talking to strangers who are sharing the same environment. So I started reading but was surprised that Gladwell’s theme was quite different from what I was expecting. From his perspective, it is difficult to evaluate a person, especially in a provocative

situation, simply by talking with them and reading their body language. Why? Sometimes people lie, and lie convincingly. An example he gives is Bernie Madoff, who with his quiet and thoughtful manner, was able to convince clever and talented financial experts that he was honest. For a time, even members of Renaissance Technologies in Setauket were caught off guard. As Gladwell wrote, “Through a complicated set of arrangements Renaissance found itself with a stake in a fund run by [Madoff]” and “The people at Renaissance are brilliant … but couldn’t quite make the leap to believe that it was all a setup” despite personal interviews with Madoff. That is, until they became sufficiently suspicious to take out their money, but then only half that was invested with Madoff, according to Gladwell. There are other examples in the book having to do with cultural or contextual differences between the viewer and the person being viewed, sometimes with disastrous results. One such situation involved Amanda Knox, an American student incarcerated for four years following the murder of her roommate in Perugia, Italy, largely because Italian prosecutors interpreted her

youthful American goofiness as signs of guilt. She was subsequently acquitted of the murder. Another example put forth by Gladwell is the unwillingness of witnesses to recognize the guilt of Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant college football coach who abused children. Yet another example, the one that starts and ends the book, is of Sandra Bland, the African-American woman from Chicago who was stopped by a white highway patrolman in a small town in Texas for not signaling when she changed lanes. It should have been a routine event. Instead, because of misreading, it turned into a confrontation resulting in her death three days later by hanging in a local jail that was ruled a suicide. There are also fascinating stories about Cuban spies fooling the CIA, among other tales. Gladwell’s conclusion is that we should “accept the limits of our ability to decipher strangers.” He goes on to say, “What is required of us is restraint and humility. … There are clues to making sense of a stranger. But attending to them requires care and attention.” And knowing that we can be wrong. Anyone who has hired the wrong applicant for a job can vouch for that.
