village Hotel, assisted living plans one step closer to reality in St. James By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com St. James is now one step closer to a major development project, as the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning approved the plans created by Gyrodyne to develop a multi-use lot with a hotel, assisted living centers and medical offices. On the southeast side of Route 25A and Mills Pond Road, Gyrodyne, a property management company based in St. James, intends to use about 75 acres of property to create a 150-room, full service hotel, two medical office buildings and two assisted living facilities. It also plans to continue to allow the current tenants to continue to use its offices on the property, including a catering business, office spaces and an engineering firm. Gyrodyne wants to break down the property into eight lots, ranging in size. The first two lots are for existing businesses and lots three through seven would be for future developments, including the hotel and assisted living centers. The eighth lot, according to the proposal from the county’s planning department, will be commonly owned amongst the other lot owners, and will be an open space area.

he had some concerns with the existing plan. “I am extremely concerned with traffic

town Town board is pumped up about sewers in Kings Park By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com A full-fledged, $20 million sewer system in downtown Kings Park to help accommodate new businesses and affordable housing won’t just be a pipe dream for long. During an Aug. 8 Smithtown board meeting, town officials urged state lawmakers to grant Suffolk County 4,000 square feet of parkland on the property of the Parks, Building and Grounds Department in Kings Park to install a threeFile photo building sewer pump station there Tom McCarthy The town said it plans to fund the project with the $20 million grant acquired from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in January. A $200,000 grant

from the county will also be implemented in the project’s design plans. The pump station, which would be placed in an inconspicuous spot in front of the building’s office behind the tree line, as not to intrude on the open space or be visible from Route 25A, is the last piece of the county’s planning puzzle and perhaps the most important. Most sewage flows downhill but because the location is hilly, the pump station is needed to lift wastewater and move it along to the sewage treatment plant. Under Town Board resolution 650, board members urged Assemblyman Mike Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) and State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) to authorize

the alienation of the property so it’s no longer parkland and the county can acquire it for the facilitation, placement and operation of the pump station by the county department of public works. “This is the only way to move forward with downtown revitalization, it’s absolutely vital,” Councilman Tom McCarthy (R) said at the meeting. “For one of the main components of it anyway, with the sewers. You’ve got to get the wastewater to the plant. You can’t expand any of your buildings in any of the downtown Kings Park area because of the fact they don’t have enough property for wastewa-

gyrodyne over capacity right now.” The Gyrodyne plan calls for a new entranceway off of 25A, but in the staff comments, the planning department report said, “Allowing for the creation of a new ingress or egress along North Country Road (State Route 25A) should only be considered after it has been determined that access along Mills Pond Road … and Stony Brook Road to the east cannot adequately accommodate vehicular trips.” Kaufman said he’s also concerned with the rural characteristics of the area, especially in Head of the Harbor Village, and added this new project may jeopardize its aesthetics. The planning department had a total of 13 comments on the project, also focusing on the possible drainage issues from the sewage treatment plan into the nearest waterway. The department said any recommendations or conditions that come out of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act done for this project should be adhered to. George Hoffman, co-chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee for Route 25A, a Brookhaven Town group, said he shared concerns with the project. “I have studied 25A from the Smithtown border,” he said in a phone interview. “There are significant traffic safety issues along 25A. There are a lot of blind turns.” Hoffman said he’s also worried about the other changes this project could bring. “I’m very concerned about the scale of development on a historic road as well,” he said. “It could change the entire character. Congressman [Tom] Suozzi [D-Glen Cove] put in a bill to designate 25A as a historic highway. It’s very significant. I don’t want it to become the next Jericho Turnpike.” Now that the project has been approved, it’s turned over to the Smithtown Planning Department. David Flynn, the town’s planning director, said he has met informally with Gyrodyne associates a few times to answer their questions about getting an application ready. “A meeting date has not been set up yet, not until applicable departments are done reviewing the plan and making comments on the application,” Flynn said in a phone interview. Those departments, Flynn said, include the engineering department, the environment & waterways department, among others.

Two car fires in one day in Smithtown

153915

The Smithtown Fire Department responded to two different car fires within an hour of each other Thursday afternoon, July 19. The first incident was called in at 4:19 p.m. at Landing Avenue at the corner of Clark Street. Officers said a car struck a tree and then burst into flames. The driver of the vehicle was able to self-extricate and was eventually transported to the hospital. The car was fully on fire, and a small brush fire also started as a result of the accident. Both the car and brush fire were under control at 4:56 p.m.

At 4:54 p.m. a second signal was called out for a car fire at Town Line Road with the cross of Amber Court. With units just taking up from the first vehicle fire Chief Landrigan quickly asked for a Hauppauge engine to respond to the second scene. With Smithtown apparatus moving to the second fire, a Hauppauge engine arrived and began the attack on the fire. Smithtown apparatus arrived on the scene to assist Hauppauge. The accident, like the one on Landing Avenue, involved one car striking a tree. Two patients were transported to the hospital. —victoria espinoza

Without a sewage treatment plant, businesses can’t expand.” According to Town Planning Director David Flynn during Tuesday’s morning session, one of the pump station buildings will be about the size of a two-car garage and will house a generator; one will be about the size of a one-car garage and will house the actual pump equipment, including the motor, pipes and a receiving well for the wastewater to go into; and the third building, roughly the size of a large shed, will be for utilities. He said the parks department has started to clear the property and the town is in the process of obtaining a survey of it. “We’re trying to line all our ducks up in a row so everything will be smooth in January,” Flynn said of the town and county’s efforts to launch the sewer system project within two years. “So Suffolk County is anxious to acquire the property and we

This year’s theme is Keep in Mind to Be Kind, which ties into Fun Friday activities such as field day, carnival day and a picnic. Eighty-one students are enrolled in the program and an additional 20 students

wanted to get permission from the state to sell it off.” The property, he said, was sold to the town from the state for a dollar in 1965. It once had a mini bike trail and some other recreational highlights but throughout the years, that portion of the land diminished and up until now, it has been predominantly used for an office. Flynn said he’s recommending the county and town board agree to an easement to be able to get from the pump station to 25A through the existing parks department driveway. When Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo (R) asked if the pump station on the park location would be an eyesore, Flynn said just the opposite. “In all honesty, it’ll look better when this is done,” he said. “I recommended we or the county plant a new tree line on the backside of the parking lot between the parking and storage area. So, another 60 or 70 feet of open space would free up and a better looking tree line will be there. I think it’s a good thing from a visual standpoint.”

are scheduled for related services offered, which include speech, counseling, occupational therapy, physical therapy, vision and hearing-related services. Two CAP classes for autistic students are offered in addition to an after-school program for autistic students that promotes socialization and peer interaction.

Presentations occur weekly from the Smithtown Library’s summer reading program in addition to a visit from a fireman from the Smithtown Fire Department to teach about fire, pool and bike safety. Each Tuesday, students participate in a spirit day by wearing their favorite sports team jerseys, Smithtown colors and mismatched outfits.

gyrodynE Continued from page A5 He added that an industrial subdivision is uncommon for Smithtown, because most of the zoning in the town is residential. Gyrodyne currently needs approval from Smithtown to subdivide the lots. Flynn said an approval of the plan seems likely. “Yes, we would likely recommend approval,” he said. But he added the department also finds issue with the new curb entrance off of 25A. As for the Smithtown town board, Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R) said he has not reviewed Gyrodyne’s application yet. “I have not seen the plans,” he said in an email. “It will go before the town planning board for recommendation to the town board and planning department.”

Athletes in the Smithtown school district have something in common with students in Uganda thanks to the efforts of several educators from across Long Island. Carisa Eye, a Smithtown High School East varsity field hockey assistant coach and Nesaquake Middle School lacrosse head coach, is the latest educator to get inspired to give uniforms to the H.E.L.P. International school in Masese, Uganda. “The things we take for granted over here like uniforms, that are so easily available to us in our school district, are things that kids don’t get in other parts of the world,” Eye said. “The little things go a long way. It makes you feel good to see these kids in our jerseys, and it shows it doesn’t take much to make someone’s day. I want my athletes to understand that.” Eye originally asked Smithtown administration to coordinate a donation to send to Ghana, after a friend and former Smithtown student, who teaches in the William Floyd school district, asked for help through Facebook. Eye was able to collect a boxful of uniforms with the help of Smithtown athletic director Pat Smith, but her friend could only take some of what she was given. She came across another Facebook post, a press release regarding Smithtown West marine science teacher Kimberly Williams and the work she’d done with her sister-in-law Carolyn Ferguson, and Eye asked Smith to connect her to Williams.

“We do have a bunch of older uniforms we don’t use, and this is a great way of putting some of our old uniforms to use for a good cause,” Smith said. “It’s really nice to see some of our teachers wanting to get on board and we hope the kids, who know what we’re doing, can appreciate what we have here.” The athletic director hopes the district can continue its involvement with H.E.L.P. “Seeing the photos they look like a team — they were arm-in-arm and you can tell it made such a difference,” he said. “It’s a great thing for us to be involved in. If we can continue to do this for underprivileged kids, we will, and I hope we can.” While the idea originated with Ferguson’s former Rockville Centre assistant superintendent Delia Garrity, who helped form the school in Uganda with her husband Peter in 2010, she said she was thrilled to hear of the spread of generosity. “It’s all word of mouth, which is amazing,” said Ferguson, a Rockville Centre physical education teacher. “The reach has been incredible.” Garrity, who just returned from one of her trips to Uganda, said her studentathletes’ transformation has been palpable since being outfitted in the gear. “When we began our athletic program, our children wore whatever clothing they had — which was not much,” she said. “They played with bare feet and kicked a dilapidated soccer ball. A soccer ball was used for volleyball with players hitting the ball

over an imaginary net. When we received donations of athletic supplies and uniforms from Rockville Centre and Smithtown schools, among others, our kids were over the top with joy.” She described some of the changes she’d seen in the young athletes since they were given the uniforms. “They have more confidence, more belief in themselves as a team, more motiva-

tion to practice and a stronger work ethic,” she said. “Our teams win most local tournaments in soccer, volleyball, netball and track and field. Other schools do not want to play against H.E.L.P. Primary in the opening rounds of any tournament because it’s become a powerhouse.” The idea of Smithtown contributing to the cause began when Ferguson was talking with Williams during a Christmas dinner. Also in charge of equipment and uniforms in her district, Ferguson detailed how she’d helped Garrity collect jerseys since 2013. Moved by her sister-in-law’s involvement, Williams asked for a donation from Smith, and the first batch was sent over from Smithtown in 2015. “I think if someone is getting rid of something it should go somewhere before the garbage,” Williams said. “When resources are so limited, there’s always someone who needs it, and I work hard to make sure my kids understand that. Whether it’s uniforms or composition notebooks.” Ferguson said the jerseys mean more to the children in Uganda than just the ability to play sports. “Wearing the same uniform gives them pride and it encourages them to keep going,” she said. “That sense of community that perhaps they don’t normally have.” Eye said the program also gives her pride in where she grew up and now works. “I love my teams and I love my town,” she said. “Smithtown has always been supportive, especially of athletics, so it didn’t surprise me when I sent an email and they got back to me right away. They’re always willing to help.”

H.E.L.P. International school’s soccer team in Uganda, above, received the first Smithtown uniform donation in 2015. On left, Smithtown physical education teacher Carisa Eye helped send over the most recent batch of uniforms to Uganda. She said she was moved seeing photos of the smiling faces of Ugandan children donning the red and blue. “It makes me cry,” Eye said. “They wash their uniforms and lay them out to dry on rocks like prized possessions. I’m going to try to keep donating every year and have my teams participate.” Williams already handed over another box to Ferguson that has been sitting and waiting on her dining room table. Ferguson

will pass the donations, which came from one of William’s former students who teaches in Maryland, over to Garrity to take on her next trip, and the cycle will continue. “It’s connecting kids through the uniforms,” Williams said. “Smithtown is developing the whole athlete — not just their sports abilities. That makes me thrilled to be part of this.” For more information on H.E.L.P. International or to find out how to get involved, visit www.help-international.org.

Letters to the editor

Red light camera program is a detriment

Students at the Masese School in Uganda don old Smithtown unifroms donated by a Smithtown West marine science teacher.

Giving is great As the summer winds down and people across the North Shore prepare to return to their regular school year routines, it could be very easy to get selfish — selfish with time in an attempt to squeeze the last bit of freedom out of August. But that’s far from the case for several different groups of people undertaking incredible philanthropic efforts right in our own backyard. Joseph and Maddie Mastriano, 13 and 17 years old, respectively, took “squeezing” literally. The siblings, for a fifth consecutive summer, held a fundraising lemonade stand in Stony Brook, this time raising nearly $20,000 to be donated to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. The event was a huge hit this year and garnered a lot of attention, so we hope it continues to grow in years to come. Joey Zangrillo, a Port Jefferson resident and business owner, recently returned home from a trip to Kenya, where he traveled for the purpose of assisting in the expansion of a much-needed orphanage and the construction of a well. The story will be told in detail in next week’s edition of The Port Times Record. Jack Soldano, a 12-year-old from Miller Place, announced in July he would be selling his four-figure comic book collection at Heritage Park in Mount Sinai this month to raise money for the Miller PlaceMount Sinai Historical Society’s efforts to save a historic house. Miller Place resident Cody Carey, along with 29 members of his fraternity, is wrapping up a cross-country bike trip, which is held annually to raise money for people with physical and mental disabilities. Kimberly Williams, a science teacher in the Smithtown school district, recently joined an effort to send old sports uniforms to Uganda to be reused by kids in need. In Huntington this month, local officials, community leaders, businesses and organizations worked together to help raise food donations for Huntington kids. The end of summer malaise has not infected any of these admirable North Shore residents, and likely there are many others. We commend them for their incredibly selfless acts and hope they serve as an example for others. If you missed any of these stories, we encourage you to seek them out on our website, www.tbrnewsmedia.com, and if you know anyone donating their time with the purpose of bettering their community, we’d love to hear about it.

“The Suffolk County Red Light Safety Program uses automated enforcement to enhance the safety of motorists at red light intersections located within Suffolk County,” according to the county’s Traffic and Parking Violations Agency website. However, the 2015 report recently released by the agency tells a different story. A review of the data shows that 50 percent of the county’s red light camera intersections saw an increase in reported accidents over the previous year while 42 percent of red light camera intersections saw an increase in accidents involving injury. Those are startling statistics, although not entirely surprising, as last year’s report told a similar tale. How can the county continue to ignore that its “safety” program may be placing motorists in jeopardy? The report indicates that the county experienced an overall reduction in accidents at red light camera locations across Suffolk during the period, which is good news. However, that fact further underscores the concern over specific intersections and makes the county’s unwillingness to address potential safety fears all the more egregious. The cameras continue to roll at these

Despite the urging of countless motorists and several lawmakers, including myself, the administration has refused to entertain any suspension or re-evaluation of this program, which at best is flawed

and at worst dangerous. And, the reason for that is simple: the program continues to be what it always has been, more about dollars than sense.

Allocating federal funds While members of the Republican majority are competing to see who can make the deepest cuts, there is a budget proposal before Congress that would boost the economy for all of us while cutting the number of people in poverty in half. It’s The People’s Budget, proposed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus. The People’s Budget invests in safe and productive

infrastructure, education, affordable housing, health care and nutrition, childcare and working family tax credits. It calls for increasing the minimum wage. These investments will create 3.6 million jobs and set us on a path to cut poverty in half in 10 years. The People’s Budget invests $2 trillion in infrastructure spending, expanding rural broadband, universal prekinder-

garten and free college tuition at state and community colleges. Every year without fail our elected representatives give over half of the discretionary budget to the Pentagon, leaving less than half to be divided up to fund education, health care, environmental spending, infrastructure and everything else.

Elizabeth Gonzalez Dolginko Northport

Northwell-Mather story was unfair That was a fine piece of objective journalism that headlined the Aug. 3 edition of The Port Times Record. To put State Sen. LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) on the front page with all his negativity toward Mather Hospital and the visual puffiness toward Stony Brook University Hospital was

ridiculous. The man’s name is already on the SBU stadium, what did you think he would say? In my opinion Mather made a fine choice. The Northwell system is far above Stony Brook despite Stony Brook constantly blowing its own horn. Who pays for the full-page

ads in the local paper every week? If Stony Brook is a state facility, then it is spending my tax money for those ads. Perhaps LaValle might comment on that.

OpiniOn Who’s on first in Trump’s Washington ballgame

t’s become an Abbott and Costello comedy routine, except in the nation’s capital. Let’s take a look: Trump: “Strange as it may seen, they give ball players nowadays very peculiar names.” Costello: “Funny names?” Trump: “Nicknames, nicknames. Now, on the Washington team, we have who’s on first, what’s on second, I don’t know is on third.” Costello: “That’s what I want to By Daniel Dunaief find out. I want you to tell me the names of the fellows on the Washington team.” Trump: “I’m telling you. Who’s on first, what’s on second, I don’t know is on third.” Costello: “You know the fellows’ names?” Trump: “Yes.” Costello: “Well, who’s playing first?”

D. None of the above

Trump: “Who was playing first, but I fired him.” Costello: “You fired him? Who did you fire?” Trump: “Yes. I most certainly did. It was time for a new first baseman. We’ve got a better one coming in to play first.” Costello: “Oh yeah? Who is that?” Trump: “No, who was on first.” Costello: “What are you asking me for?” Trump: “I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Who was on first.” Costello: “I’m asking you, who’s on first?” Trump: “I already told you, not anymore.” Costello: “Not anymore is on first?” Trump: “Yes.” Costello: “You won’t tell me the name of the fellow on first base?” Trump: “Yes, not anymore.” Costello: “OK, so not anymore is playing first?” Trump: “He was, but he just left, too, so now I have no one.” Costello: “You don’t have a first baseman?” Trump: “Yes, I do, no one.” Costello: “How can no one play first?” Trump: “He’s very talented. He’s one of the best players I’ve ever seen at the position. He’ll win games for us.”

Costello: “When you pay the first baseman every month, who gets the money?” Trump: “He did, but no one gets it now.” Costello: “So, you’re not paying anyone?” Trump: “No, we’re paying no one. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects his paycheck.” Costello: “No one’s wife?” Trump: “Yes. After all, the man earns it.” Costello: “No one does?” Trump: “Absolutely.” Costello: “Washington has a good outfield?” Trump: “Oh, it’s great again.” Costello: “The left fielder’s name?” Trump: “Why.” Costello: “I don’t know, I just thought I’d ask.” Trump: “I just thought I’d tell you.” Costello: “Then tell me who’s playing left field?” Trump: “No, who was playing first, but he was fired.” Costello: “Stay out of the infield! The left fielder’s name?” Trump: “Why.” Costello: “Why?” Trump: “I’m thinking of moving why to

The Cold War: It’s déjà vu all over again

he hottest real estate in Japan these days is a bomb shelter, with a starting price from $19,000. When I heard that reported on the radio, I was instantly transported back to my first-grade class where, upon a signal, we covered our heads with our coats and slid under our desks. It was the Cold War: Stalin and the Soviets were the enemy, and we had drills to prepare for By Leah S. Dunaief an atomic blast. One day, there were moviemakers at the school, before television became popular, and they recorded us taking cover for the newsreel that preceded the feature film in every movie theater. In fact, there were two feature films in those days, usually referred to as A and B movies, but first the viewers

Between you and me

were treated to the news of the week. I was in the front row of my class, so I could be clearly seen on the screen crouching beneath my desk. But I never saw myself because my parents usually didn’t go to the movies. Neighbors told us that I was front and center. Just as the movie seemed unreal to me, so did the Cold War and the atomic bomb from whose blast my raincoat was supposed to protect me. World War II had ended, and I grew up in the subsequent Cold War generation. I heard people talking about building bomb shelters, but I couldn’t imagine having one since we lived in an apartment in the middle of the city. It did occur to me to wonder where we would find shelter in the event we needed to, and I think I questioned my parents about that once, but they didn’t seem to want to discuss the subject so it never came up again. My schoolmates may have been fearful, but we never talked about the bomb. Then Stalin died, there was eventually detente with the Soviets, a popular novel appeared by Ian Fleming called

“From Russia with Love,” we watched the touring Bolshoi Ballet at the old Metropolitan Opera House, something in my gut unclenched, and no one had atomic bomb drills anymore. I hate the idea that children in Japan are now growing up under the shadow of a nuclear bomb threat. Those in South Korea are surely afraid and, for that matter, now those in Seattle. In fact, fear seems to be rearing its ugly head in the United States, a country ordinarily known for its optimism and “pursuit of happiness.” For example, I would not like to be an immigrant here today and certainly not an illegal one. Those in that category must be living in fear day and night. I have no sympathy of course for illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes and are therefore most likely to be deported. But the idea that ICE representatives are patrolling the courthouses, looking for illegals, certainly creates an atmosphere of people being hunted. I would also not like to be an employer whose business depended on the seasonal help of immigrants.

center field after he did such a great job in left.” Costello: “Who did a great job in left field?” Trump: “No, who only plays first and he’s not on the team anymore, so I don’t want to talk about him.” Costello: “You got a pitcher.” Trump: “Wouldn’t this be a fine team without a pitcher?” Costello: “Tell me the pitcher’s name.” Trump: “Tomorrow.” Costello: “Why not now?” Trump: “No, why is in left field. He never pitches, but he might play center field.” Costello: “Now when the guy at bat bunts the ball against tomorrow — me being a good catcher — I want to throw the guy out at first base, so I pick up the ball and throw it to no one.” Trump: “Now, that’s the first thing you’ve said right.” Costello: “I don’t even know what I’m talking about.”

Industries like hospitality, restaurants and farming haven’t known if their legal immigrant workers would arrive. Without that extra help, many businesses cannot survive because there are not enough Americans willing to do those low-level jobs. Ditto for those with special needs who require aides at home. On the other side of the ledger, our economic picture seems rosy. The stock market is setting new records almost every day, as corporations are being rewarded for making profits and the prospect of deregulation encourages investment. The unemployment rate is the lowest in some 20 years. Yet there is a great divide between financial and political happiness. Many of the same people happy with the economy are unhappy with the political picture, bemoaning the chaos in Washington, D.C. As we have always done, we will soldier on with our domestic problems. We are doing less well reacting to the foreign challenges, fear prompting us to answer threats with threats.
