Smithtown Elementary introduces outdoor learning center

Students in Marcie Krause’s first grade class at Smithtown Elementary School received fresh air while working on their alphabet skills on Sept. 17. A new outdoor learning space in the school’s courtyard is providing students and faculty throughout the school with an openair classroom on a rotating basis.

The outdoor learning space is particularly valuable given the current circumstances, because it provides an extended mask break while learning continues. But the open-air classroom, complete with a chalkboard, picnic tables, umbrellas and assorted outdoor chairs, will continue to be utilized even once the pandemic is fully in the rearview mirror.

The PTA contributed the umbrellas, while the district purchased the tables. And the custodial staff helped set up the area.

Krause’s class took advantage on Sept. 17. She mouthed a sound, and the first graders said aloud what letter matched. Each student then

wrote the letter in the air a few times, before also writing it on an individual whiteboard with a marker.

“We’ve always considered the

possibility of creating an outdoor learning space,” Principal Janine Lavery said. “But, of course, with the onset of COVID and the

challenges that it brought to us, we’ve been bringing the children out regularly. Last year, we moved forward with plans to purchase

picnic tables so that teachers and staff could eat outside, but also — outside of lunch hours — it could be used as an outdoor classroom.”

WMHO board says there’s more to the Pentimento story

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The members of The Ward Melville Heritage Organization board said protesters only know part of the story about their negotiations with the owner of a popular restaurant in Stony Brook Village Center.

After Pentimento Restaurant, owned by chef Dennis Young, announced on its Facebook page at the end of July that it would be closing Sept. 30 due to their lease not being renewed with Eagle Realty Holdings, customers and former employees began protesting the decision.

Eagle Realty, which this year paid $725,000 in real estate taxes, according to President Gloria Rocchio, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the not-for-profit WMHO. The realty company leases the commercial businesses in Stony Brook Village Center as well as a few offices and residential homes surrounding the shopping center.

In the last few weeks, protesters have rallied in front of the restaurant as well as Rocchio’s home. The supporters created a Save Pentimento Restaurant Facebook page and posted a petition on Change.org.

There were also campaigns to call and email all of the board members which include Richard Rugen, chairman of the board, and trustees Mary Van Tuyl and Charles Napoli. People have been calling the WMHO office, too.

Rocchio said a couple of times a box truck and car have been parked in front of her home with Save Pentimento signs, and at a Sept. 12 protest, a person was banging a pot.

Rugen said as president, Rocchio has taken “the black eye.”

The board feels the protests exacerbated the problem instead of letting the trustees work things out with Young and his lawyer.

The trustees said they were working on the issue with the owner for eight months.

“That’s what’s so frustrating,” Rugen said.

“The demonstrations and so on, especially in front of Gloria’s house, have actually exacerbated the problem to the point where it was no longer viable.”

Napoli said people don’t have all the facts and the board was just trying to get clarity, while the public has labeled them “demons.”

The board members said they have had a good relationship with Young through the years, and he’s always paid his rent on time. Rocchio described Young as “a wonderful chef.”

Napoli said the protests were “counterproductive.”

“It was unnecessary,” he said. “It could have been resolved, just between us and Dennis.”

Van Tuyl, who has received numerous calls at home and her business, added that the

protesters know who the board members are but the trustees don’t know who the people are calling and emailing them.

“That’s a scary situation for anyone to be in,” she said.

Rocchio said it was difficult for her and board members to comment on the lease situation to the press and residents as the terms of a lease and negotiations are normally kept between the lessor and lessee. She added that each lease is for a different length of time.

“These are landlord-tenant matters that are negotiated, and you really don’t discuss in public,” Rocchio said.

Young and the restaurant’s manager, Lisa Cusumano, said in previous interviews with TBR News Media that they were supposed to notify the landlord a year before the end of the lease term about the intention to renew. Young, who wants to retire in the near future, said he forgot due to trying to keep his business afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic. A few months ago, someone he knew wanted to buy the business, but he was told the lease could not be extended.

If Young was able to sell the business, the restaurant would remain as Pentimento, and he and Cusumano would continue to work there as well as the current staff.

The board said they were open to extending Young’s lease but not for as long as he originally asked for. When they proposed a shorter length of time, their offer was rejected by him. The board members added that they interviewed the buyer Young suggested as well as others. They suggested a couple of them to Young. However, when the potential buyers contacted the restaurant owner, he didn’t provide them with the information they needed to make an offer.

There was one more caveat, Rocchio said, as obligations in a present lease have to be fulfilled before letting another person buy a business, and the septic system needs to be replaced. Cusumano said in a Sept. 16 The Village Times Herald article that Young has maintained the septic system properly and replaced it approximately 10 years ago.

Rocchio said the current septic system had been reviewed by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services when it was installed, and the architect who designed it used the standard specification for a restaurant with 125 seats. However, according to the board, the septic system that is a dedicated system for the kitchen, interior of the restaurant and outside patio has been overtaxed. It doesn’t handle or affect the bar

area or the bar bathroom.

The owner had expanded the restaurant years ago by taking over a former clothing store. While he didn’t have enough funds to finish the project, the board said Eagle Realty Holdings put up the rest of the money. In the event that he sold the business, the realty company would be repaid.

“It was to our benefit for him to sell the business,” Rocchio said.

She said with the restaurant closing at the end of the month Eagle Realty will not be paid back the money, and it will be responsible for the new septic system.

In a Sept. 16 The Village Times Herald article, Cusumano said that the restaurant’s last day would be Sept. 30.

“We walk away after 27 years with nothing,” she said.

Napoli said they were doing everything they could to help Young.

“No one on the board wants to hurt Dennis,” Napoli said. “Everyone, all the trustees, want him to get something for the restaurant. For 27 years, he has served this community very well and the community has supported him, and we’ve encouraged it.

We’ve worked together. It would be only fair that he did get something.”

North Shore celebrates Culper spies

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM History came to life Saturday, Sept. 18, in the Three Village area.

Residents and visitors were able to take part in the 7th annual Culper Spy Day. The event hosted by the Three Village Historical Society, Tri-Spy Tours and The Long Island Museum featured spy-related tours and activities, centering around the Culper Spy Ring founded by Benjamin Tallmadge, George Washington’s chief intelligence officer during the Revolutionary War. Activities took place at the historical society headquarters, The Studio at Gallery North, Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, Caroline Church and Cemetery, Patriots Rock Historic Site, The Long Island Museum, SherwoodJayne House and Port Jefferson’s Drowned

Meadow Cottage Museum.

Some of the day’s events featured costumed volunteers such as Art Billadello dressed as Tallmadge, above, and Kyle Parker as a Tory, upper center. Historical society historian Beverly C. Tyler, above right, and director of education, Donna Smith, pictured below right and on the right, told spy stories on the porch at the society’s HQ. Over at the library on the front lawn, the Rose Tree trio, below, a traditional folk group, played for attendees.

According to the historical society, approximately 500 attendees stopped by its grounds during the event.

Bulls hang on in second OT for the win

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After protecting a one goal lead going into the second half, Smithtown West junior Sophia Campitites scored the insurance goal with 13 minutes left in regulation for the 2-0 lead in a Division 1 road game against Newfield Sept. 21.

Newfield’s Megan Spina’s foot spoke next when the senior drove her shot home five minutes later to trail by one. Smithtown West desperate to hang on to their one goal advantage had those hopes dashed by Newfield forward Sarah Cavallo with 20 seconds left in regulation when the sophomore’s shot found its mark to tie the score at 2-2 forcing overtime.

Unable to settle the game in the first 10-minute overtime period, Smithtown West managed a team

goal in the scrum in front of the Newfield net seven minutes into the second, to take the lead and held on to win it, 3-2.

The win lifts Smithtown West to 3-1-0 in league while the loss drops the Wolverines to 2-2-1. Both teams are back in action on Sept. 23 where the Bulls travel to take on their cross-town rivals, Smithtown East, while Newfield will host Lindenhurst. Game times are 4:30 and 5:30 p.m, respectively.

Pictured clockwise from above, Smithtown West sophomore midfielder Stephanie Schubert clears the ball upfield; sophomore Madison DeMaio passes inside; junior Sophia Campities heads the ball upfield; senior defender Emma Wilkinson clears the ball upfield; and senior Sophia DeNapoli battles Newfield’s freshman Isabella Norton.

ELEGANT EATING FROM OUR GARDEN...

TO YOUR TABLE...

Elegant Eating uses its garden to set us apart. When placing an order come and take a tour of our garden to observe the source of our seasonal offerings. The ingredients for our “Garden Salad” best reflects Elegant Eating’s farm-to-table philosophy.

Each day Myra and Neil head out the back door of Elegant Eating to the source of much of their culinary inspiration, a one-third acre organic garden that produces fruit trees, asparagus, herbs, carrots, heirloom tomatoes, strawberries, squash, and more.

In less than a few hours, some of the day’s harvest will make its way from the garden into customers’ orders for our “Garden Salad” and many other dishes. With a short growing season on Long Island, we take advantage of the just-picked produce and put it on the menu as much as we can.

We have been serving our customers for the past 39 years and are always looking for new and exciting dishes to add to our menu. We take pride in being a sustainable caterer sourcing local produce whenever possible.

Thank you to all our clients who have supported us for the past 39 years!

Letters to the Editor

Zeldin comments on An open letter to the achieving remission WMHO board

File photo

In remission, Zeldin should now consider stance on public health

Last week, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-NY1) formally announced that he is now in remission from leukemia.

The Shirley native said that back in November 2020, he was diagnosed with the illness and after nine long months he’s now cancer-free.

It’s impressive. Zeldin has done quite a lot while battling cancer — and keeping it quiet from the public.

He won his reelection the same month he was diagnosed; he was in Congress when the insurrection in the U.S. Capitol happened in January; he announced his run for governor and has been campaigning for that office since.

While he has been busy at work throughout his treatment, he also has done some things that a typical cancer patient would absolutely steer away from.

We’re happy to hear that he’s healthy again and he has beaten a disease that has taken thousands of lives.

But what’s most concerning is that while going through chemotherapy, he chose not to wear a mask and, in fact, has taken a strong stance against them.

Masks are protecting others — such as Zeldin now — who have compromised immune systems, and who are most at risk.

It was discouraging to know now that the congressman has held several anti-mask and Unmask Our Kids rallies, where people were in close proximity to each other.

Zeldin was the lucky one — other people are not always so lucky and with new variants spreading, immunocompromised people could be hit harder.

According to a new study published by University College London, cancer has become an increasing public health priority in the U.K. after vaccines and other measures continued to contain the spread of COVID-19. Findings from the study showed 40,000 late diagnoses of cancer due to a lack of emergency referrals by general doctors and fewer face-to-face appointments. Delays caused by lockdown could result in 10,000 people dying of cancer “significantly earlier” than would otherwise have been the case.

Could the U.S. follow suit?

We hope that representatives such as Zeldin, who now has personal experience to relate to, will reconsider their stances on anti-masking, vaccinations and general public health.

The cold months are coming, and germs will be everywhere — we need to keep each other safe.

Through early detection, last November, I was diagnosed with early stage chronic myeloid leukemia. I then began treatment with an immediately positive response and no side effects.

Over the last nine months, I have achieved complete remission, am expected to live a normal life and my doctor says I currently have no evidence of this disease in my system. My health is phenomenal, and I continue to operate at 110%.

Right now, I’m once again crisscrossing New York state in our campaign for governor, having hit Monroe, Wayne and Ontario counties Sept. 17, and Jefferson, Lewis and Hamilton counties Sept. 18. At no point have we slowed down at all and my lowest gear is always all in. I have also not missed any Army Reserve duty as a result of this diagnosis.

I’m grateful for all of the men and women in the medical field who have not only treated me these past several months, but who pour their hearts and souls into treating so many others in need of their expertise, energy and passion. The medical field in our country is filled with the very best of society.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY1) Presumptive Republican nominee for state governor 2022

Will experience change thinking on health care

In a recent campaign event upstate, Congressman Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] shared his leukemia diagnosis. Though I have been one of his biggest critics, I want to wish him well. No one deserves to suffer from this kind of illness and the toll it takes on a family. I’m pleased to hear he is in remission and responding well to treatment.

It should be noted that part of why his prognosis is so good is the excellent health care he and other members of Congress enjoy, the kind he has voted to deny the rest of us dozens of times. He has voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act and against lowering prescription drug costs. He has voted for budgets that gutted Medicare and Medicaid, while benefiting from excellent health care paid for by our tax dollars. There are too many families that would not be able to afford the same excellent care Zeldin has received.

Every one of us deserves the same excellent health care members of Congress receive.

It is my hope that Zeldin’s own experience will change his thinking on this issue, and he will come to understand that health care is a right, and not a privilege for the powerful, wealthy and well connected.

After I read the TBR News Media article, “WMHO board says there’s more to the Pentimento story” online dated Sept. 17 [see also this print edition], I felt compelled to respond. For Mr. Richard Rugen [chairman of the board] to say, “The demonstrations and so on, especially in front of Gloria’s house, have actually exacerbated the problem to the point where it was no longer viable” feels like a parent saying, “Now that you’ve acted out, you’re not getting what you want.” I asked myself how could a community heartbroken and desperate to save something we hold so dear “exacerbate the problem to the point where it was no longer viable?” Surely the demonstrators only meant to illustrate how vital Pentimento is to our community. I thought perhaps he doesn’t understand.

I was born in Stony Brook. I began kindergarten at W.S. Mount school and graduated from Ward Melville High School. I left for college and lived in foreign countries but no place has been as dear to me as Stony Brook. So much of what makes Stony Brook dear to me is the village and so much of what makes the village dear to us in the community is Pentimento.

Pentimento is where we have celebrated birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and religious milestones. It’s where we have had our first dates and our first jobs. It’s where I have dinner with my best friend from kindergarten every month.

In the article, it was implied there was another side to the story without clearly stating a reason for not allowing Pentimento to renew their lease. We can’t know what WMHO hasn’t told us. We just know the place that holds some of our most treasured and precious memories is at risk of no longer existing for the community and for the future generations of our community — but it wants to do so.

Although Dennis Young and Lisa Cusumano had plans to sell, I understand the family planning to buy Pentimento are members of the community and are already a part of the Pentimento family. My brother and I attended Ward Melville with their daughters. I can’t imagine a better change of hands than for a family from the community to take over. I imagine it would warm the Melvilles’ hearts to see such a legacy. I imagine they would be so moved that the community has rallied around Pentimento because it is a place that so beautifully embodies the WMHO mission statement of “fostering community.”

I ask as a final plea, please reconsider. We have all suffered so much these last years.

Please don’t take away the place that we clearly care so much about. As was described in the article, Eagle Realty Holdings has

done so much to keep Pentimento alive, please don’t stop now when we need a safe, familiar and comfortable place to gather more than ever.

An open letter to Legislator Trotta about Flowerfield

I read your recent newsletter with interest, county Legislator Rob Trotta [R-Fort Salonga]. Your statement that consideration should be given to preservation of the open space at Flowerfield is well placed. Your comment that you are personally committed to preserving “the last remaining open spaces” in your district also is encouraging. You correctly point out several benefits to open-space preservation that, unfortunately, some people overlook or discount.

It is now well known that Smithtown officials thus far have not shown any interest in discussing alternate plans to Gyrodyne’s pending development application. This is especially frustrating in light of the town’s own disclosure in the townwide Draft Comprehensive Plan that only 1.63% of St. James is open space, as opposed to the 18.31% average in the other hamlets (p. 232). As well, in their enthusiasm to support Gyrodyne’s plan, town officials are ignoring the draft plan’s expressed guiding principles regarding open-space preservation and their stated commitment to preserve, protect and enhance the historic, scenic and architectural character of the communities (pp.13-15). This Flowerfield parcel is the last open space in the St. James hamlet — for many reasons, it deserves to be preserved.

As you point out, good faith negotiations among all interested parties are needed now to create an alternative plan that would fairly compensate Gyrodyne for its property and result in uses that we all can live with. Your timing is good in light of recent statements from Gyrodyne officials that they are amenable to discussing such alternatives.

Along with many others, including Head of the Harbor Village trustees and other elected officials, I welcome and look forward to your involvement and leadership in creating a sensible solution to this problem. You will find a wealth of information about this issue on the website of the Saint James-Head of the Harbor Neighborhood Preservation Coalition at stjameshohnpc.org, also searchable inputting “Save Flowerfield Fairgrounds.”

We will make ourselves available to meet at your convenience.

Opinion Making skills like finding the remote control and speaking teenager count

I

n a fractured and uncertain world, the skill sets that make us marketable to potential friends, employers and neighbors have shifted.

Sure, competence, professionalism and experience can and do come in handy in the context of numerous environments. These days, though, getting along with others and navigating through the cacophony of frustration beamed into our living rooms D. None and phones on an hourly basis seems to of the above have elevated what

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF otherwise might seem like trivial skill sets in another time.

I have come up with a list of skills or, perhaps more appropriately, qualities that

might be helpful in the modern world.

I don’t overuse the word “literally.” To emphasize a point, people often literally throw the word “literally” into phrases, as in “I literally hate tofu.” I’m not sure you can figuratively hate tofu, but I don’t overuse that word.

I keep a straight face: even when confronted with outrageous claims in which others hold fast to ideas, to heroes or to patterns I find questionable or even objectionable, I don’t wince, roll my eyes or shout them down until I’m in the safe space of my home with my wife.

I know how to write a handwritten note.

Electronic communication has become so ubiquitous that sharing a personal touch that comes from writing something by hand has scarcity value.

I have trained my dog to do exactly what he wants. Sure, other people have trained their dogs to sit, roll over, fetch the newspaper and come to them when they call, but my dog does exactly what he wants. That means when he wags at me, he’s genuinely excited

to see me and he’s not just wagging because he’s expecting some immediate reward or punishment.

I can find almost anything in a supermarket.

Having spent an embarrassing amount of time searching the supermarket for foods that satisfy four diets and that take the place of in-person dining and social interactions, I can find most items sooner than supermarket employees.

Through a hard-target search of every bed sheet, blanket and pillowcase, I can find the remote control. While that may seem trivial, it shows a willingness to go the extra mile to avoid having to take a few extra steps to change the channel.

I speak teenager. Yes, they are wonderful people who not only have a shorthand way of speaking, but also have a tendency to multitask while they are talking, looking at their phones or speaking through a mouthful of food. I can interpret much of what they say even when they appear to be offering disconnected sounds in a guttural and frustrated language.

I can finish an entire chapter in a non James Patterson book without checking email or texts. That means I can concentrate for longer periods of time. Patterson is excluded because the chapters in his violent novels are often shorter than this column.

I can make myself laugh. Every week, I enter the New Yorker cartoon contest. The captions I write never win, but they make me laugh.

I have a wealth of untapped ideas. I look at all the masks around me and think, “Hmm, I could come up with so many new mask products.” For example, how about mood masks, which change color depending on the person’s mood? Or, perhaps, masks with the outline of states, presidents of the United States, or images of abolitionists, important women in history or slogans? Masks could become the equivalent of educational posters hung on the walls of classrooms or, if you prefer, facial bumper stickers, giving someone starting at our covered mouths a chance to read or see something new.

What causes cancer? Otto Warburg and the Nazis wanted to know

T

here are two good stories in “Ravenous: Otto Warburg, the Nazis, and the search for the Cancer-Diet Connection.” The newly released book, by Sam Apple, is about the Nazi’s hunt for the cause of cancer and the remarkable support Hitler gave, before and during World War II, to Otto Warburg, a premier scientist, homosexual and Jew. Hitler’s mother, possibly the only person he loved, died a painful death from breast cancer. Hitler, reportedly a vegetarian and a hypochondriac, periodically thought he was dying of cancer.

Otto Warburg, who Between won the Nobel Prize you and me in 1931 and had been

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF nominated repeatedly for the prize during his career, did in-depth biochemical research on

the metabolism of tumors, especially cancer cells. Despite Warburg’s several obvious drawbacks and outspoken criticism of Nazi values — he refused to have Nazi flags in his lab or offer the Nazi salute — Hitler protected him and allowed him to do his work.

Otto Heinrich Warburg, born in 1883 into a prominent family of bankers and scientists, first distinguished himself in the elite cavalry regiment, the Uhlans, during WWI. He won the Iron Cross for bravery and was still fighting at the front in 1918 when Albert Einstein, a close friend of his physicist father, wrote him a letter urging him to come home. Einstein told him that science needed him. That, combined with his breakthrough research before the war on sea urchins, and his aristocratic family, did much to solidify his lifetime arrogance.

He did return home, continued his distinguished work, and was named director of a Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin founded by the Rockefeller Foundation, designed by him in the Rococo style, in 1931.

He proceeded with his investigations into the

causes of cancer, which had been relatively rare until the 19th century but was exploding in numbers in the early 20th century. The German people, along with people in the United States and elsewhere, were terrified of the disease.

Warburg’s hypothesis was that cancer growth was caused by tumor cells generating energy (to reproduce) mainly by the anaerobic (no oxygen) fermentation of glucose. Healthy cells, by contrast, generate energy mainly from oxidative breakdown with the salt pyruvate in the mitochondria (part of the cell responsible for producing the cell’s energy.) If you don’t understand those last sentences, it doesn’t matter. The point is that Warburg believed the primary cause of cancer was the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells with the fermentation of sugar. Therefore the culprit: SUGAR. Today the understanding of the cause of cancer is mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that lead to a malignant transformation. The metabolic changes

ART AND PRODUCTION DIRECTOR Beth Heller Mason PRODUCTION Janet Fortuna Sharon Nicholson CLASSIFIEDS DIRECTOR & SUBSCRIPTIONS MANAGER Sheila Murray

in cells that Warburg observed were not causative, today’s scientists believe, but the result of those mutations.

Warburg’s work offered support for the role of metabolism in the mitochondria in aiding tumor suppression. He oversimplified the complex interactions between the mitochondria and the cell nucleus, between metabolism and mutations.

After the war, Warburg did come to the United States, but his self-important personality, his tyrannical behavior in the lab, his imperiousness with his peers and finally his inability to admit error, all helped to push his research out of sight. He ultimately returned to Switzerland.

In the 1960s, scientific attention turned to the newly defined DNA and cancer-causing genes. Only with the new century has there been a metabolism revival and attention to the role of insulin and the link with obesity.

The book offers us interesting history, both about the Nazis and scientific research into the causes of cancer. Reading it will certainly make us think about what we eat.
