The Town of Smithtown and the Nesconset Fire Department will sponsor a prostate cancer screening event Sept 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Nesconset firehouse. The event is open to all men over the age of 40 who have not previously been diagnosed with prostate cancer, regardless of whether or not they have insurance.

“As a prostate cancer survivor, I can tell you firsthand the importance of having your prostate exam and your PSA exam as early as possible,” Councilman Tom Lohmann (R) said.

“It was because of that exam that I was identified as having prostate cancer 19 years ago. I strongly recommend that any male over the age of 40 have this exam yearly.”

This event is meant to coincide with Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Dr. Thomas Harrington of Advanced Urology Centers of New York will be conducting digital rectal exams and blood tests will be performed by a medical technician from Integrated Medical

Foundation. Seaqua Deli of St. James will be catering the event by providing healthy lunches for the participants.

“I work with men that are living proof that, if caught early, prostate cancer can be reduced to a temporary inconvenience,” Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo (R) said.

She said she heard the firsthand survivor’s story from Parks Department employee Bill Renner, who was diagnosed in his early 40s.

“Thankfully, Bill was treated, and has become a strong vocal leader in bringing prostate cancer awareness to the table,” Inzerillo said.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Approximately 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime, while approximately 1 in 36 men will die from prostate cancer. In 2018, an estimated 164,690 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed.

To register for this event, call 631-257-6070.

Fallen Commack airman’s family receives ‘promised’ puppy

saved from a high-kill shelter in Louisiana, days before they would have been put down, according to Misseri.

The rest of the dogs will be given to other veterans and veterans’ families either as a companion animal or be fully trained as a service dog.

The Nesconset nonprofit provided the Raguso family with a puppy starter kit that included everything from food to toys, and even a cage. Calvin is already leash trained and housebroken, and Mis- From left, Carmela Raguso with her daughters, Mila and Eva, with their new puppy. seri said the rest of the his new family, but he was still nervous of new dog’s training will be provided for free.

“The goal is just to make their lives better places. As the family tried to bring him into the and put smiles on their faces,” said Bachert, house the young puppy shied away from the door.

It was only when Eva went inside, suddenly who is a member of Paws of War and served as Raguso’s drill instructor in the Commack fire- upset by a rush of emotions, that Calvin darted after her. He instinctively knew his role with the fighter academy.

By all accounts, Calvin was excited to be with family, to comfort them in their continued grief.

KYLE BARR

Fallen U.S. Airman Christopher Raguso, who perished in a March 15 helicopter crash, promised his Commack family he would get them a dog upon his return. Although he never came home, a local organization has stepped in to fulfill his pledge.

Paws of War, a Nesconset-based nonprofit that helps connect dogs with veterans and retired law enforcement as companion animals or to be trained as service dogs, gifted a 4-month-old black Labrador named Calvin to the family Aug. 24.

“I didn’t sleep at all last night I was so excited,” Raguso’s wife, Carmela, said. “We needed this — we’re wounded, our dad was a warrior, our hearts are broken and maybe this dog can help us.”

Carmela Raguso told her two daughters, Eva, 5, and Mila,7, when the truck rolled up it was just their family friend, Joe Bachert, a retired member of the New York City Fire Department, bringing his own dogs for them to play with. Instead, Bachert came out of the vehicle with Calvin cradled in his arms.

Eva ran forward with her arms outstretched, screaming with delight, and started to hug and kiss the young pooch. Mila asked her mother if the dog was theirs, who responded that of course he was.

“I’ve been dreaming about this,” Eva said, as

she held Calvin’s head close to hers. “I like him so much.”

Raguso’s wife said Eva took the death of her father hard. The couple’s youngest had taken to sleeping in bed with her, “to keep her father’s side of the bed warm.” Now, with the addition of Calvin, Eva said she will be sleeping in her own bed with Calvin always at her side.

“To have this dog be her buddy and especially be her sleeping buddy, maybe she’ll sleep well,” Raguso’s wife said. “It’s been tough, but we put one foot in front of the other — we honor the dead by living.”

Raguso was one of seven members of New York’s 106th Rescue Wing killed in the line of duty when a H-60 Pave Hawk helicopter crashed while carrying out a mission in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, an American-led mission to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.

“One can’t even imagine what the family is going through, and we hope that this adds a little sunlight to their lives because they’ve been in darkness for some time,” said Smithtown resident Robert Misseri, a co-founder of Paws of War. The black Lab was just one of a litter of 11 puppies that Paws of War’s sister organization and nonprofit rescue group Guardians of Rescue

Kings Park schools receive $5M in upgrades over summer break

BY AMANDA PERELLI As Kings Park students return to school next week, the children and their parents may notice buildings across the district have gotten a face-lift.

Kings Park school district has utilized the summer to make progress on some of the more than $41 million in capital improvements approved under the December 2015 bond.

At Kings Park High School, community members will find a newly resurfaced parking lot in the back of the building. New LED lighting and several dry wells have been installed to alleviate drainage issues to better accommodate students and staff, according to Superintendent Timothy Eagen.

“The actual parking footprint or square footage will be about the same,” Eagen said. “We anticipate either about the same or a few additional spots, but not a substantial change.”

On the athletic fields, the former Kingsmen Kafe has been demolished to make way for a modernized concession stand with bathrooms.

Over at William T. Rogers Middle School, both the boys and girls locker rooms have been fully renovated with clean and functional lockers. The district’s staff has also undertaken installation of a new irrigation system, that covers the football, lacrosse, soccer and ball fields to encourage softer,

greener and more consistent grass coverage in the future, Eagen wrote in a community update letter.

The district was hoping to replace the entire roof of the middle school this summer, according to the superintendent, but construction was halted when asbestos tar was found under the upper portion of the building. Eagen said this caused the

roof replacement to be pushed to next summer to allow for further planning and construction at a time without any students in the building. The roof of the lower portion of the building has been completed for the 2018-19 school year.

R.J.O. Intermediate School has had new fencing installed along the track and field area,

in addition to the parking lot.

The district has been awarded a $100,000 grant through the New York State Municipal Facilities Program, which they applied for last summer after learning about it from state Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick (R-St. James), according to Eagen.

This money will help fund plans to resurface the intermediate school’s track next summer.

“The R.J.O. track has been an issue for several years, and this grant will allow us to finally make this area usable and safer for students and the community,” Eagen said.

The building’s current cinder track will be replaced with an asphalt surface with lane lines The district anticipates that walkers will use this area more after it’s renovated.

School officials are pressing forward with improvements to the district’s security including plans for security vestibules at each building. In order to bypass a lengthy six to 12 month review process, Eagen said the district will classify the vestibules as maintenance work or repairs, and construct them inside the existing buildings rather than as an exterior add-on feature. The district has set aside $100,000 for this work, according to the superintendent, and the vestibules are expected to be completed this fall at both the high school and middle school.

“For all these guys to do it for free, and to get these old major leaguers together to teach the young people, is really great,” he said.

Other former pros included former New York Mets first baseman Ed Kranepool, Mets outfielder Art Shamsky, Mets pitcher Bill Pulsipher and New York Yankees first baseman Frank Tepedino. Minnesota Twins scout Jon Mauchan and Mets scout Larry Izzo also attended the event where they taught kids how to dress and act if they are looking to catch the eye of recruiters.

Long Island Ducks manager Kevin Baez helped to teach kids the best techniques to catch ground balls, and he said an event like this is less to prepare kids for the major leagues, but to expand their love of the sport.

“They should just enjoy the game, because a kid who is 11 or 12 years old could be really good, but they just fall out of the game, I’ve seen it happen,” Baez said. “That’s the key to just keep the love of the game and desire to work and get better.”

Local lawmakers bid McCain farewell Kings Park bicyclist killed in car crash METRO

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Six-term U.S. Senator, U.S. Navy veteran, former prisoner of war and more John McCain (R-Arizona) died Aug. 25 after a year-long battle with brain cancer. Upon hearing of his passing, local elected officials joined those around the world in publicly paying tribute to a man who will be remembered as one of the country’s most famous public servants.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D): “John McCain was a true American hero who valiantly served his country and dedicated his life to public service. Senator McCain served this great nation with both honor and distinction … On behalf of the over 1.5 million residents of Suffolk, I extend my deepest condolences and sympathies to the family, friends and loved ones of Senator McCain.”

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R): “Senator John McCain was a true American hero who when held as a POW during the Vietnam War was given the option to leave captivity, but he refused to leave his men. His love of country, our military, and nation’s veterans, combined with his own lifelong dedicated service to our nation, sets him apart as an American patriot. My deepest condolences are with his family and all who had the honor of knowing this exceptional American as I have.”

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D): “John McCain is a great American hero. He devoted his life to our country and put his country before his party, and before himself. Rest in peace good and faithful servant.”

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D): “John McCain gave his life in service to this nation, exemplifying all that we admire in a hero. He was a warrior and a statesman, in the old-fashioned sense. In his own way, he spoke truth to power.

He criticized Republicans and Democrats alike.

John McCain criticized all of us. Because in his mind, those of us who are privileged to hold public office can never work hard enough for the people of this country. He was right.”

U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D): “As you go through life, you meet few truly great people.

John McCain was one of them. His dedication to his country and the military were unsurpassed, and maybe most of all, he was a truth teller — never afraid to speak truth to power in an era where that has become all too rare. The Senate, the United States, and the world are lesser places without John McCain. Nothing will overcome the loss of Senator McCain, but so that generations remember him I will be introducing a resolution to rename the Russell building after him.”

Suffolk County’s 4th Squad detectives are investigating a crash that killed a bicyclist in Kings Park Aug. 24.

Kings Park resident William Parmentier III was riding his bicycle eastbound on the north sidewalk of Pulaski Road when he attempted to cross the road, east of King Street, to the south side of Pulaski Road at approximately 10:40 a.m. Parmentier, 50, struck the side of a 1995 GMC van and was transported via Kings Park Fire Department Rescue Squad to Stony Brook

Obituaries Sharon K. Corr

John McCain Aug. 29, 1936 – Aug. 25, 2018 U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D): “We will never forget the unparalleled courage, heart and service of John McCain. My thoughts are with his family as they mourn this great loss, but also as they celebrate his incredible life. It was a privilege to serve beside John in the Senate, and he will be so greatly missed.”

Huntington Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R): “There are few leaders who have sacrificed as much for our country as Senator John McCain. John McCain spent his life as a public servant, faithfully serving his country with honor both in uniform and in public office. His resolve, while imprisoned for five years in a North Vietnamese POW camp, demonstrated a character we should all strive to live up to and never forget.

Senator McCain was a true American hero.”

State Sen. Ken LaValle (R): “Senator John McCain was an extraordinary public servant and an authentic American hero. He was a maverick who did what he thought was right and always put his country above his party. As a captain in the Navy, McCain was shot down over Vietnam and endured unspeakable torture for five years as a prisoner of war. John refused his captors’ offers to go home because he knew that other Americans had been POWs longer amount of time. John McCain faced a brain cancer diagnosis the same way he lived his life — with courage, with toughness, and head-on. America has lost a true hero. John McCain a grateful nation salutes you.”

Opinion

Editorial

We need to simplify politics With less than two weeks to go before New York State’s primaries, we’ve been ramping up our coverage of the 2018 elections at TBR News Media. One thing has become abundantly clear: There are a seemingly endless number of hurdles for who can run, their campaigns and how to vote.

In Shoreham, Rocky Point Fire Chief Mike Yacubich has fought to stay on the ballot after citizens in the state’s 2nd Assembly District challenged his petitions to be the Republican candidate to run for the seat. Their objections were based on the fact that he and his son share the same name — and that there was no distinguishing middle initial indicated on the forms — which they argued could have led to confusion for voters.

In Northport, Democratic hopeful Michael Marcantonio was found ineligible to run for the state’s 12th Assembly District after it was brought to the court’s attention he cast his vote in North Carolina in 2014. At the time, he was a law student at Duke University and didn’t realize judges may rule that ballot severed his five-year residency in New York, which is the time required to run for political office.

In Huntington, Republican candidates have petitioned to create a “Stop LIPA” ballot line for the Nov. 6 elections. Their opponents have filed objections. It has raised questions about when Stop LIPA became a legitimate third party and cast doubts on which elected officials are rallying against the utility’s attempt to get the taxes lowered on its Northport plant, an issue we see as local and party-less.

Throughout the summer, we’ve seen voter drives encouraging teenagers to register before heading off to college. The process of simply obtaining an absentee ballot requires completing a preliminary application that needs to be hand delivered to the Suffolk County Board of Elections Yaphank office or snail mailed at least seven days in advance, and casting an absentee ballot then requires a second trip to the post office. Also, being required to work during polling hours is not listed as a valid reason for obtaining an absentee ballot.

Our state laws regarding how to run for office and how to cast a vote need to be simplified. The process needs to be streamlined and modernized. Our failure to do so hurts both Democrats and Republicans, it knows no party lines. Rather, it collectively silences the voices of aspiring politicians looking to make a difference, employees working long hours to make ends meet and uninformed youth who find too many barriers between them and the polling booths.

First, information on how to run for office and eligibility needs to be made clear and more easily available to the public. A fundamental concept to our democracy is that anyone can run for office — but they have to know how and what to do.

In New York state, anyone with a valid driver’s license can register to vote online and change their party affiliation. Given this is possible, we fail to see any reason why a request for an absentee ballot should not also be fileable via email or an online form on Suffolk County Board of Elections’ website with an electronic confirmation given.

With the technology available today, it’s hard to believe we’re locked into pen-and-paper forms and snail mail to register political candidates for elections and to vote if temporarily out of state.

It’s time we re-examine these methods. Participating in democracy should be getting easier, not more difficult.

Letters to the editor

McCain deserves respect from president

One of the finest politicians of our era was Sen. John McCain, whose recent death has upset nearly all of us, with the possible exception of the current mindless occupant of the White House.

Republican McCain was a superb human being and a very admirable politician — a man of great honor and integrity, who was highly respected by members of both political parties. His defense of his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, during the 2008 election, was a perfect example of McCain’s quality as a man. McCain’s deeds and words were appreciated by nearly every one of us Democrats, especially when McCain defended Obama from some absurd remarks made by ignorant people about Obama’s

country of origin.

President Donald Trump’s repellent and highly insulting comments about McCain during Trump’s uniquely appalling presidential campaign should have caused Trump to be defeated in 2016.

Most Republicans were indignant about Trump’s disgraceful remarks about the senator, whom he disgustingly accused of not being a hero because he had been imprisoned in Asia by the enemy of the U.S. What a monumentally stupid remark!

Every day Trump somehow dishonors our nation deeply, perhaps permanently.

Anyone with half a brain could understand and respect the comments, the deeds, the sacrifices of McCain, especially in the 20th

century. On the other hand, Trump’s mindless insults in 2016 will permanently remain among the ugliest nastiness in American political history.

I read that the McCain family does not want the president to speak — maybe not even show up — at McCain’s funeral service. Excellent rejection! Nearly all of us, including my fellow Democrats, are now deeply saddened by the passing of the senator — a fine politician, a great American hero, a man of impeccable morals.

God bless John McCain, a real American hero. He will perennially be a sterling figure in our nation’s history.

Elio Zappulla Stony Brook

Senator’s death a lesson in health care I was saddened to learn of the death of Sen. John McCain this past weekend.

I have great respect for McCain’s service to his country. He endured hardships in his years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam that I can’t imagine. As a progressive Democrat, I disagreed with his politics and many of the votes he cast, but he is a shining example of a man who loved his country and led a life of public service.

As we talk about this man and his life, there’s something no one is discussing that is really important — and that is health care. McCain was able to treat this

very aggressive form of cancer for the past year because he had excellent health care, provided by the government. He chose to end the treatment and to enter hospice and die surrounded by those who loved him.

How many millions of Americans don’t have these options? How many millions of Americans have been bankrupted by health care costs? How many times have our politicians, including our very own Congressman Lee Zeldin, voted to deny these options to the Americans they were elected to serve?

Some may think it’s too political to

talk about this at the end of a man’s life, but I don’t. Politicians like McCain make decisions about health care that affect all of us. I firmly believe that every American has the right to the same health care that members of Congress have. My heart goes out to his family. Illness, loss and end of life is painful. May they find comfort and peace in the coming days. And may we finally have the justice of health care for all in this nation, the way every member of Congress does.

Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Zeldin has ditched decency Ironically, Rep. Lee Zeldin stood on the House floor in July 2017 and made a speech advocating for a Campaign for Decency, started by Lisa Cholnoky who has a home in Shelter Island, but also lives in Manhattan. Looking on as his guest from the House gallery, Ms. Cholnoky said she hatched the Decency campaign after Donald Trump was inaugurated because she saw a lack of civility emerging in the national dialogue.

Unfortunately, for those of us in CD1, Zeldin, a Trump sycophant, has since ditched decency, often preferring to embrace the mean-spirited attitude and heavy-handed actions of his mentor and hero.

Decency be damned, Zeldin often resorts to name calling of his opponent, using

derogatory adjectives when speaking about undocumented immigrants, refused to allow constituents into his rally, and threw out members of the free press, a la Trump.

Worse, he disingenuously stands for photo ops with people, causes and programs that Trump is seeking to end and whose funding or existence Lee Zeldin votes against in Congress: Meals on Wheels, climate change, a clean environment — he has a 9 percent rating out of 100 — affordable health care for all, mental health care for veterans, funding for Medicaid, etc.

Instead of tax relief, Long Island lost its SALT deductions thanks to Trump and the GOP. Curiously, Zeldin declined to participate in a forum on morality and

ethics, hosted by nine East End houses of worship last year, and this month his opponent, Perry Gershon, participated.

Unlike his Democrat peer in Nassau, Tom Suozzi, Zeldin also refuses to meet with all of his constituents in town halls without prescreened questions.

He appears unable to defend his actions and votes. However, he has more than ample time to appear ubiquitously on cable news shows, notably Fox, and fundraisers with Donald Jr. and billionaires as well as white supremacists Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka. We Deserve Better than Zeldin. #PerryGershonforCongress is the remedy.

Appreciating workers of all stripes

L

abor Day offers a chance to consider the division of labor that makes living on Long Island and in the United States so incredible.

Police officers stand ready to protect and serve. They leave their homes with the best of intentions, providing safety, security and order to our communities.

Similarly, firefighters offer an enormous measure D. None of protection for us individually and of the above collectively, racing

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF into burning buildings to save us and keeping fires from spreading to nearby homes.

Members of the military protect our interests and help residents in our communities, country

and strangers around the world.

Priests, rabbis, imams and other spiritual leaders encourage us to aspire to greatness, to see beyond our frustration and anger, and to believe in a higher purpose and a grander plan.

They bring out the best in us and suggest ways to give our lives meaning beyond meeting our basic needs.

Psychologists and psychiatrists act as handrails for people’s minds and emotions, helping us deal with a wide range of challenges, frustrations and difficulties.

Doctors, nurses and medical health professionals refuse to allow bacteria, viruses or injuries to get the better of us, standing ready to help us fight an infection, determining what that mysterious pain is and, at best, help treat the cause of the disorder and not just the symptoms.

Sanitation workers enable us to keep our homes and communities clean.

Supermarket workers stock the shelves, help us find gluten-free food to manage our growing list of allergies, and make sure they have the specific brand of the milk we buy.

Car mechanics allow us to reach our appointments on time and make it to our children’s concerts.

Teachers feed hungry young minds, encouraging and inspiring the next generation, coming in before school or staying late to will students across another academic finish line.

Beyond offering the welcoming smile at many companies, receptionists wear numerous hats, directing traffic through offices, sending phone calls to the right extension, and knowing how to find anything and everything.

When we maneuver through the purchase of a home, the establishment of a will or the adoption of the newest member of our family, lawyers guide us through each process, becoming advocates for our interests and close confidants.

In the wee hours of the morning, bakers start the process of creating scones, heating up coffee and mixing the batter for birthday cakes.

Truck drivers spend hours on the road, carting all manner of goods, bringing foods or marble we have to have on our kitchen counters.

Ferry workers usher us back and forth on

the Long Island Sound to visit family, to take ski trips, to return to college, or to visit sites in Connecticut and farther north.

Plumbers, electricians and structural engineers make sure our homes and offices operate smoothly, preventing a leak from becoming a flood, a spark from becoming a fire or a weak wall from becoming an accident site.

Driven by the desire to inform and to beat the competition, journalists search for news that offers valuable information.

Entertainers of all stripes keep us laughing, allow us to relate to people from other places or times — or take us on fantastic journeys to places in their minds.

Politicians represent our interests, debating and hopefully instituting the best policies for the rest of us.

Numerous others, whose professions didn’t make it into this space, also help our communities function.

While Labor Day is a chance to say “goodbye” to summer, it presents an opportunity to appreciate the hard work everyone performs.

People can’t do what they did physically when they were young.

Parents die but you move on.

Colleagues forget the favors you did.

The race to achieve slows.

But true friends are always there, no matter how long or how many miles away they are. A friend is never more distant than the reach of a need, intervening in your favor, waiting for you with open arms and in some way blessing your life.

When we started this adventure called life, we did not know of the incredible joys or sorrows that were ahead. We did not know how much we would need from each other. Love your parents, take care of your family, but keep a group of good friends. Stay in touch with them. [Tell this to] your friends — even those you seldom see — who help make sense of your life. (End)

of the details already. They have aged along with us and can laugh at the same incongruities and absurdities that are specific to our generation.

We can compare our satisfactions as well as our aches and pains, and share the advice and names of our physicians and our medicines. As we are reduced in stature, we are reduced together so the same relative heights hold and we continue on unperturbed.

Most satisfying is the shared wisdom that has come from living a substantial number of years.

We can comfort each other as we laugh about the difficulties and perceived difficulties in our lives, and we never need to feel embarrassed about our thoughts or our hang-ups.

The most painful part comes with the inevitable loss of close friends. They are irreplaceable and their absence leaves a hole in our lives and our hearts. “I’m only going to befriend younger people I meet,” we declare. The same for our doctors and dentists, who have the temerity to retire or die.

So to my dear friends — and yes, those professionals who keep me together — just know how I treasure you.

A thank you card to my friends

S

ummer is about to end, and with it the most mellow time of the year. I’d like to leave this season with a gentle and accurate message that came from the internet and resonates with me: A newlywed young man was sitting on the porch on a humid day, sipping ice tea with his father. As he talked about adult life, marriage responsibilities and obligations, the father thoughtfully stirred the ice cubes in his glass and cast a clear, Between sober look on his you and me son.

“Never forget

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF your friends,” he advised, “they will become more important as you get older. Regardless of how much you love your family, you will always need friends. Remember to

go out with them occasionally — if possible — but keep in contact with them somehow.”

“What strange advice!” thought the young man. “I just entered the married world. I am an adult and surely my wife and the family that we will start will be everything I need to make sense of my life.”

Yet he obeyed his father, kept in touch with his friends and annually increased their number.

Over the years, he became aware that his father knew what he was talking about.

Inasmuch as time and nature carry out their designs and mysteries on a person, friends are the bulwarks of our life. After 70-plus years of life, here is what he, and you, and I will have learned: Time passes.

Life goes on.

Children grow up. They cease to be children and become independent. And to the parents, it breaks their hearts but the children are separated from the parents because they begin their own families.

Jobs/careers come and go.

Illusions, desires, attraction, sex … weaken.
