Advanced specialty care center opens in Commack ‘Advanced Specialty Care connects consumers to Stony Brook Medicine’s cutting-edge research, clinical trials and advanced technology.’

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 multi-specialty 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.

Kenneth Kaushansky speaks at the opening ceremony of the establishment.

According to Kaushansky, one of the leaders behind the 120,000-square-foot center, 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

Kings Park landfill repurposing contract causes tension

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The site of the former Steck-Philbin Landfill in Kings Park was slated to be repurposed this year as part of a countywide effort to eliminate blighted properties, as the Suffolk County Legislature approved a contract with Powercrush Inc. and Vision Associates LLC to develop on the land. However, another business that put in a proposal for the landfill site has criticized the deal and has called for an investigation of the operations of Suffolk County Landbank Corp. for development of public properties.

Shawn Nuzzo, president of Ecological Engineering of Long Island, said he believes Powercrush and Vision Associates “had neither the ability nor the good-faith intention to build a solar farm and that the Suffolk County Landbank was either willingly complicit or, at a minimum, completely inept during this process.”

In a letter and phone interview Nuzzo brought up the connections Powercrush has with donating to political campaigns — including two members of the Suffolk County Legislature — and said the current approved resolution that does not state the contract will include a solar farm on the property.

In January 2016, the county landbank, a not-for-profit entity that works with the county to redevelop tax-delinquent properties, issued a request for proposals to revitalize eight brownfields, including the landfill in Kings Park. About two months later Nuzzo’s company submitted a proposal for a 6-megawatt solar farm that he said could generate nearly 8 million kilowatt hours of solar electricity in its first year. He also said EELI would finance, build and operate the solar farm through a crowdfunding campaign, seeking small investments from everyday Suffolk County residents. The plan would be to sell 25,000 “solar shares” in the farm at $500 each.

Some local officials threw their support behind Nuzzo, including state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station).

Out of the several proposals given to the county, the plan with Powercrush, a Kings Park company, was selected to move forward, with the same goal of reusing the site for solar farming. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) praised the plan as

the former steck-philbin Landfill on old northport road in Kings park will be repurposed by Vision associates and powercrush. a turning point for dealing with blighted properties, and Amy Keyes, executive director of the county landbank, said in a past interview Powercrush was selected based on a number of qualifications, including design, impact and feasibility.

County Legislature Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) said the creation of the county landbank was his idea, and the process of selecting Powercrush and Vision was “completely fair.” He said claims that landbank operations are in need of an investigation are “not a credible argument.”

“We evaluated those proposals based on merit, [EELI] came up short,” Gregory said in a phone interview. “These were cases of not being able to say what you can do, but being able to do what you can say, and the strongest proposal with the best benefit to the taxpayer was Powercrush. Each proposal got a score sheet and they scored the highest.”

Nuzzo said he tried to see the winning proposal, to compare it to his own and see how his company could improve for the future, but he was unsuccessful.

“I can only speculate that the winning proposal was so inadequate and incomplete that the county is embarrassed to share it,” he said in a previous interview.

“It’s a shame, because our proposal to build Long Island’s first communityowned solar farm could have been a landmark moment for Suffolk County. Instead what we got was politics as usual.”

Nuzzo said he also had an issue with the fact that the development may no longer be a solar farm. After the original resolution was passed by the Legislature, which included the intention of building a solar farm, an amended resolution was passed this past March that approved moving forward with the Powercrush and Vision contract without the language of it being a solar farm.

“If the selected bidder is unwilling or unable to develop the land in accordance with their proposal, then their bid should be voided,” Nuzzo said. “Powercrush and Vision Associates were awarded this parcel based on their plan to construct a 4-megawatt solar farm.”

Nuzzo said he’s concerned with the system as a whole.

“This is about how Suffolk County issues its contracts,” he said. “This is more of a condemnation of the system as a whole.”

However Sarah Lansdale, president of the county landbank, said a solar requirement was never a part of the original proposal

from the county.

“There was nothing requiring the end use had to be a solar farm,” Lansdale said in a phone interview. “There was no foul play here. They proposed solar and if they didn’t win the contract with PSEG the redevelopment site still needs to be something acceptable to the community.”

Powercrush and Vision did lose their bid with PSEG Long Island for a power purchase agreement. However Mike Rosato, of Vision Associates, said a solar farm idea had not been scrapped.

“The original [proposal from the county] did not require a solar farm, but yes this might still be a solar project,” he said in a phone interview. “The whole idea of this project is to make something good for the community.”

Rosato said in a letter their proposal was chosen for many reasons including financial capacity to successfully implement the project and demonstrating the experience to successfully carry out the project; demonstrating the ability to start the remediation and redevelopment process within six months of tax deed transfer; and improving the environmental condition of the property.

“Although our solar partner lost its bid with PSEG Long Island, we clearly stated in our original proposal that in the event this were to happen we would work to identify another industrial end use that would be acceptable to the community and permitted by the [Town of Smithtown],” Rosato said. “Our intentions have always been to reuse the site for renewable energy and we will continue to pursue that objective.”

As for Nuzzo’s concerns with political ties, he pointed out Toby Carlson, owner of Powercrush, has donated to several political campaigns, including county Legislators Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) and Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills). Trotta recused himself from the Legislature votes on this issue, and said he has repeatedly tried to convince Rosato not to invest in this property because of the extensive work required to make it functional.

“If the original [proposal from the county] had required solar I would be screaming and [Nuzzo] would be 100 percent right,” Trotta said in a phone interview. “But it didn’t, that’s just not true.”

Stern did not return any requests for comment.

Follow us on twitter: @TBRNewspapers center Continued from page A3 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.”

Among the elected officials in attendance were Suffolk County Legislators Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) and Rob Trotta (R-Fort Sa-

longa); Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson); and New York State Assemblymen Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Saint James) and Andy Raia (REast Northport.)

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.

Fitzpatrick and Raia presented an official New York State assembly citation to the center and its faculty.

“I just wanted to say thank you to Stony

Brook for taking medicine to the next level by opening this beautiful facility here in Commack,” Fitzpatrick said. “Stony Brook is growing and is offering new services and treatment and wellness to people beyond just the Three Village area. Stony Brook represents excellence.”

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.”

New state scholarship program makes college more affordable Students who meet qualifications will receive free tuition at state universities in New York

By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com Attending college will become a bit more manageable for many New Yorkers — especially for those in page a22 the middle class — after the state legislature passed the 2018 state budget, which included the Excelsior Scholarship, making New York home to the nation’s first accessible college program. The scholarship program, one that received full support from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), will provide free college tuition to students who qualify.

“With this budget, New York has the nation’s first accessible college program,” Cuomo said in a statement. “It’s a different model.

Kingsmen take down John Glenn for second win of season

By Bill landon Seniors Jillian Winwood and Michaela Bartley totaled for seven goals in Kings Park’s 16-6 road win over Elwood-John Glenn April 17.

After 11 minutes, and with the Kingsmen already up 5-0, the Knights tallied their first goal of the game, when freshman Michelle Torzilli dished the ball off to senior Madisyn Hausch, who scored on the cut. The pair mixed it up on their team’s next possession, when Hausch flipped the ball to Torzilli, who found the right corner to make it a three-goal game.

“We have played a lot of the heavy-hitter teams early in the season, and Kings Park was expected to be a closer matchup for us,” Elwood-John Glenn head coach Janine Bright said. “We expected them to be tough due to their level of experience as they’re a team of almost all 11th and 12th graders.”

Winwood scored in response, but John Glenn junior Carly Guder scored to maintain the margin with three minutes till halftime.

“We came out feeling that we could play strong today — we showed teamwork — we worked the ball around a lot, which was our game plan to possess the ball,” Kings Park head coach Sally Ayres said. “Jill Winwood has always led our team, along with Michaela Bartley.”

The Kingsmen stretched the net twice more before the break, courtesy of eighthgrader Kiara Feibusch, who scored off a feed

from Winwood, and senior Shannon Savage, for an 8-3 advantage.

“John Glenn definitely put up a good fight, [but] we came into today’s game with our heads up after a tough loss last week to Islip,” Winwood said. “Our team played well — we were very unselfish with lots of assists and goals spread all around our roster, so I’m happy to have another ‘W.’” The Knights scored first to open the second half, when junior Victoria Cacioppo went the distance unassisted, but the Kingsmen rattled off five unanswered goals to surge ahead 13-4 with 15 minutes remaining.

John Glenn senior Sarah Weitman’s goal stalled the Kings Park scoring frenzy, but it was short-lived.

“Sarah [Weitman] has literally played all positions for us this season, other than goalie,” Bright said. “She was able to go into this game and give 100 percent and was a big part of our offense and defense at different points of the game.”

Kings Park lit up the scoreboard two more times in the contest. Cacioppo and Torzilli led John Glenn with two goals apiece, and Hausch and Guder each had one.

Winwood topped the scoring chart with four goals and five assists, Bartley followed with a hat trick and two assists and Feibusch, the youngest player on the team, also had three goals, and added an assist.

Bartley said she hoped her team would continue its winning ways when Kings Park hosteds Eastport-South Manor April 19.

“We have a tough game coming up against

Eastport-South Manor,” Bartley said. “So I’m hoping that with this ‘W’ we can carry this momentum and hopefully we can come out on top.”

Results of the matchup were not available by press time. Kings Park travels to East Islip next, April 21, for a 4 p.m. matchup at East Islip Middle School.

“We had a strong performance in goal in the first half and most of the second with [sophomore] Lexie Kotsailidis,” said Ayres of her goalkeeper who finished the win with 11 saves. “We’ll build on this momentum going into our next game knowing that when we work together as a team, positive things can happen.”

Reflecting on the climate change issue

Stony Brook University students may benefit from the Excelsior Scholarship program.

Free ride or helping hand Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has announced that the Excelsior Scholarship program is included in the 2018 State Budget, providing residents who meet certain criteria free tuition at state colleges. But on closer look, this program doesn’t wipe away all costs of getting a higher education.

While the scholarship program provides free tuition, there are many costs it doesn’t cover, like additional fees, room and board, and textbooks, which combined can be as prohibitive a cost as tuition. In other words, it won’t be the free ride many might think it is when they hear “free tuition.”

Recipients must also meet several requirements, including attending a CUNY or SUNY school full time, completing degree requirements in two or four years and having a household income of less than $100,000 this year and less than $125,000 by 2019.

After college, students will be required to remain working in the state for as many years as they receive the funds. And while in school, students must maintain satisfactory grades to keep their tuition free.

Even if the scholarship covered all college costs, is an experience such as educating oneself ever free? Education is always an investment of valuable time and energy, and depending on the courses one takes, that investment of time and energy can be an enormous one.

While movies about fraternity or sorority members partying or running wild on campus may make for hilarious stories, in real life the majority of students can be found in lecture halls or in their dorm rooms studying for the next big exam.

Being forced to “rough it” is not a prerequisite for success in college or for appreciation of a high quality education.

The Excelsior Scholarship program will create more opportunities to provide students with the tools they need to achieve their future goals, no matter what he or she or their family’s financial situation may be. The cost of college has become a heavy burden on many of today’s families, and for many careers an education beyond high school is required.

Excelsior indicates something of superior quality. Let’s give our future students, no matter what their financial situation may be, the opportunity to afford an education of superior quality by lightening their load, even if it’s only a little lighter.

In response to the March 30 editions of the Times Beacon Record Newspapers: Thank you for publishing such impressive articles on the probable impact of global warming on Long Island, in the March 30 edition.

It is so tragic that we have a president who has assembled an administration intent on pretending that global warming is not happening, and even going so far as to claim that global warming is a hoax. The Republican Party has a lot to be proud of and an excellent track record on environmental issues — the creation of the national parks system, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act — all done during Republican administrations. Under Ronald Reagan, chlorofluorocarbons were banned to protect the ozone layer. Under George H. W. Bush, a cap and trade program was put in place to limit sulfur emissions that cause acid rain. The current national (not local) Republican office holders are betraying the legacy of their party’s environmental stewardship.

Here in the 1st Congressional District of New York, our representative in Congress is Lee Zeldin.

Mr. Zeldin has taken action to prevent the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from approving the dumping of dredging material in Long Island Sound, and has voiced concern about nitrogen pollution in Long Island’s water. He has spoken of the importance of keeping our drinking water clean. That’s great.

However, I have not been able to find any clear statement from Mr. Zeldin with regard to whether he feels that global warming is occurring or not. What is clear is Mr. Zeldin’s voting record. In my view, Lee Zeldin has consistently voted

on the wrong side of practically every environmental bill that’s been introduced since taking office. Mr. Zeldin has voted to approve joint resolutions voicing disapproval of EPA rules limiting emissions from power plants — like coal-fired power plants in the Midwest that we are downwind from. I have read that a third of the nitrogen pollution in Long Island’s waters is from power plants in the Midwest.

Lee Zeldin is a great guy in a lot of ways, but it is the voting record that counts. We need for our representative in Congress to serve as a counter to the anti-environmental agenda we see coming out of

Washington. Unless Mr. Zeldin makes a complete turnaround on the issues I have raised, we’ll be needing to find someone else to represent us.

Thank you again for the excellent coverage your newspaper has provided on environmental issues, the features you publish on education, articles highlighting the work being done by members of the community in scientific research, and a whole range of other things that are being done in our community.

Trump curriculum suggestions May I humbly propose an addition to the curriculum of the now-defunct Trump University entitled “How to undermine a democracy 101.”

Content as follows: 1. Conduct a campaign riddled with violence inducing, xenophobic rhetoric.

2. Use scapegoat-

ing, i.e., Muslims and immigrants as a key vote-getter.

3. Label your opponent as felonious and promise to imprison him or her should you be elected president.

4. Deny the validity of the vote unless you win.

5. When elected install in key offices close

family members and supporters regardless of experience, skills or temperament.

6. Undermine the security apparatus and install your own loyalists.

7. Continuously spread false inflammatory information to misinform the public and to divert attention from your corruption

and incompetence.

8. Laud and engage autocrats like yourself in spite of their human rights records.

9. Impugn the judiciary and the media.

All is ready now for you to rise up and take power as the savior of “the people.”

OpiniOn The unplanned birth of a surprising new product

H

ave you seen it? In the pace at which we live our lives, it’s possible you missed it. I was at the drugstore recently and I saw it on the side of a box. It took a moment to process. How often does a product surprise you?

It had the potential to be a “you got your chocolate in my peanut butter” moment. When I was younger, my older brother, or No. 1 son as he’s been described on these pages for decades, used to

By Daniel Dunaief mix all kinds of foods. Perhaps it was a prelude to him becoming a scientist. He’d combine foods that would defy even the current cooking shows. To his credit, he’d

D. None of the above

choke down even the ones that were spectacular failures because he didn’t want to waste food, and because who knew at what point a displeasing food might become an acquired taste? After all, how many people remember their first sip of beer? Did it tickle their taste buds or did they want to find water or a soda to wash it down?

So, back at the drugstore, I scratched my unshaven chin — I was buying razors to remedy that problem — when the image on the side of a box diverted my attention from important thoughts: How much longer would this take? Would I meet my deadlines?

Was I supposed to wash some missioncritical clothing last night for some must-win game today?

As I looked at that image, I could imagine the moment Igor came up with the idea. There he was at a barbecue. With his acquired-taste beer a few inches from his left hip, he surveyed the food on his overloaded plate. He had a thick cheeseburger on

a sesame seed bun, half sour pickles, an enormous mound of sauteed onions and mushrooms, coleslaw, and several Pringles sitting next to his burger. Igor works for Pringles and he won’t attend any picnic without bringing his favorite curved chip. The burger was on its way to his mouth when he realized he was missing something. He stood up to kiss his sister-in-law, maneuvered around his nephew who was bouncing a pink ball against the steps, and he and his burger arrived safely at the condiment table. On Igor’s way back to his beer, the pink ball rolled underfoot, causing him to turn his ankle and mix up the contents of the plate.

He hobbled to his spot and surveyed the damage to his food. His ankle could wait. Igor, like my brother, pressed on. He sighed at his precious Pringles. They were broken into tiny pieces, which was no fault of the distinctive packaging, and they looked like they’d been through a battle. They were covered in ketchup. Did he dare

throw out the Pringles, he wondered, as he sipped his acquired-taste beer?

No, his loyalty to a product that paid for his mortgage and his three Jeeps ran too deep to toss even a single chip.

Igor found the small part of a chip not smothered in ketchup and brought it to his mouth. Aware that every eye was on him, he nodded slowly, as if the taste was something extraordinary.

“Well,” his brother said, trying to be helpful, “why not, right? We put ketchup on French fries, which are also made from potatoes, right?”

Was it a weakness or a strength on Igor’s part that made him insist this was an inevitable combination that would become a must-have item for July Fourth barbecues? I suppose it’s up to us to decide whether ketchup-flavored potato chips are the next peanut butter cup.

If they are, maybe Pringles can edit a Seinfeld clip where George Costanza double-dips his chip into a bowl of ketchup?
