The Town of Smithtown Personnel Department in collaboration with the New York Blood Center hosted a blood drive Sept. 26 at Smithtown Landing Country Club.

“Our Personnel Department and its director Eileen Tropia does a spectacular service to our community with this annual blood drive,” Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) said.

“I am thrilled that so many people gave blood and I hope more are inspired to follow in the footsteps of our residents and employees who participated yesterday.”

There were 35 healthy individuals who were

medically screened by New York Blood Center that were able and willing to donate blood.

“I want to be able to help people in need,” Peter Dipinto, a blood donor, said. “There should never be a shortage if someone needs blood.”

Donors were able to register, complete a medical screening, have their blood pressure and pulse taken and iron and hemoglobin levels checked within minutes. Upon completing the blood screening, they were able to donate.

Refreshments and snacks were provided to all donors as well.

Town Preservation League gives $13K to help preserve two historic homes

compiling a list of recommended steps. Tobin said she is aware of some issues in the farmhouse’s kitchen as well as some necessary roof repairs, but the report may uncover additional problems. The report will be done in compliance with standards set by the state Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

“There’s a lot of opportunity out there for partnerships,” Tobin said. “It will be interesting to see what the school district moves ahead with. This report might help inform what they want to do next.”

The Smithtown Historical Society also received a $5,800 grant in order to conduct a building report on the Obadiah Smith House on St. Johnland Road in Smithtown. Priya Kapoor, executive director of the Smithtown Historical

Society, said she’s thrilled to have been selected to receive the funds.

“It’s a treasure we want to preserve and, at this point, it needs a lot of attention and a lot of care,” Kapoor said.

The Obadiah Smith House is the first historic

home the Smithtown Historical Society ever occupied, according to the executive director, but now finds itself in need of some tender loving care. The building dates back to approximately 1700 and was owned by the grandson of the town’s founder Richard Smith.

“The Obadiah Smith House is one of the earliest houses on Long Island,” Tobin said.

“It’s a great example of early English and Dutch building traditions.”

Kapoor said the historical society will also have Steward Preservation Services do a full report on the building’s condition to ensure it is up to code and safe. Once the report is complete, the organization will apply for additional grants and funding to make the repairs. The long-term goal is to be able to open up the Obadiah Smith House to be toured by area students learning about local history, according to Kapoor.

The Smithtown Historical Society is in the process of fixing up and reopening the Franklin O. Arthur Farmhouse’s animal barn to the public in the spring of 2019. Kapoor said she hopes to have space to add more programs and allow people to see firsthand the historic farming techniques used.

“I’m really excited about where the society is going right now with this new direction,” she said. “We’re also excited for each member of the community who is helping us.”

Two organizations in the Town of Smithtown have been selected to receive more than $13,000 in grants to plan for future preservation of two local landmarks.

The Preservation League of New York State, a nonprofit organization that works to preserve historic structures across the state, announced Oct. 3 it has awarded funds to both Commack Union Free School District and the Smithtown Historical Society.

Commack school district received a $7,620 grant to hire a consultant to perform a full building report on the Marion Carll farmhouse, which was given to the district in 1969 for historic and educational purposes.

“It’s really quite extraordinary,” said Erin Tobin, vice president for policy and preservation at the Preservation League.

The Marion Carll Farm is a historic location of potential statewide significance, according to Tobin, as the nine-acre property located on Jericho Turnpike consists of an 1860s farmhouse and several outlying buildings and retains many of the objects and possessions of its original owners, the Carll family of Commack.

“It’s a very intact site,” she said. “So many historic buildings on Long Island have been over restored and lost their original material and integrity of the historic building, the plaster, the wall paper and such. This is such an incredible time capsule that has tremendous educational potential.”

Huntington-based Steward Preservation Services, run by architect Joel Snodgrass, has been hired to evaluate the farmhouse and create a plan for the building’s preservation tasked with

Kent Animal Shelter saves dozens of dogs from uncertain fate Amid mandatory evacuation orders in the Carolinas and Virginia in advance of Hurricane Florence, many fleeing residents left their pets behind to fend for themselves. For those pets lucky enough to be rescued, they were brought to area shelters already full to capacity. When news spread the animals would start being euthanized if no one adopted them, Kent Animal Shelter in Calverton quickly joined other outreach groups to make a difference.

Working in conjunction with Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, the shelter took in 12 dogs two weeks ago.

“We then sent our own truck down to South Carolina and when they came back last Monday night they had 17 more,” Pamela Green, Kent’s executive director, said last Thursday.

The most recent group of dogs came from South Carolina’s Marlboro and Horry counties, two of the hardest hit areas devastated by flooding.

“Those counties were still pretty much under water as recent as last Tuesday so those dogs were from people who lost their homes and relinquished the animals,” Green said.

“The people probably don’t have places to live themselves at this point.”

KENT ANIMAL SHELTER

BY HEIDI SUTTON

The new arrivals range in age from 9 weeks to 4 years and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The executive director said there are hound mixes “which are common in the South” as well as Labrador mixes and a few Chihua-

huas. While many have already been adopted, all the dogs will all be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before going to their new homes. (To see some of the available pets, see page B12.)

Shelters in areas ravaged by Hurricane Florence announced earlier this week that they are temporarily halting the transport of animals to give residents more time to reclaim their dogs. For the staff at Kent, however, this is only a short reprieve as they are expecting 10 dogs to arrive Sunday from a Missouri puppy mill.

According to Green, the shelter is always looking for foster homes.

“Sometimes the animals we get in are a bit traumatized. In the case of the hurricane, they’ve already been exposed to some trauma so then they are transported a very long way and by the time they get here they’re pretty scared or nervous,” she said, adding, “Those animals usually come around more quickly in a foster home.”

Financial donations and supplies such as canned cat and dog food, paper towels, bleach,

cat litter, treats, towels and blankets are also appreciated.

Kent Animal Shelter celebrates its golden anniversary this year. The private not-for-profit, located at 2259 River Road in Calverton along the Peconic River, opened its doors in 1968. It rescues and finds homes for over 700 dogs and cats each year.

“We had almost 100 adoptions this July alone,” Green said proudly, who has been at the helm of the no-kill facility for over 30 years.

Several events have been planned to commemorate the anniversary including the upcoming Wines and Canines Run/Walk fundraiser at the Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard in Calverton Oct. 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 per person at www.kentanimalshelter.com. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome.

For Green, working at the shelter is a labor of love filled with rewards and happy endings.

“I’ve been doing this for 33 years and I still come to the same office because I feel that we are really making a difference here. Maybe we’re not going to save all the animals, but just saving the ones that we can get to changes their lives and changes the lives of people too,” she said. “I still get so much joy out of seeing an animal leave the shelter and go to a new home.

It’s the greatest thing – it makes my day.”

Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement. “This defendant stole from relief funds that were the lifeline victims needed to rebuild their homes and lives.”

From April 2015 to August 2016, Moser signed contracts with five Nassau County homeowners to perform work on their homes that had been severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy, according to Singas. In most of these cases, the defendants wrote Moser a down payment check for the work, using funds from NY Rising Community Reconstruction Program, made payable to his business Capstone Remodeling.

NY Rising is the state-run program that assists homeowners impacted by natural disasters. The homeowners had applied for and received money from NY Rising to rehabilitate their homes after they were damaged by the Oct. 29, 2012, storm.

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A Smithtown home improvement contractor who pled guilty to scamming Hurricane Sandy victims out of more than $100,000 will serve jail time — on weekends only.

Lee Moser, 50, was sentenced to 45 days in jail, to be served on weekends, and five years of probation. In addition, he also paid $50,000 in restitution that will be returned to the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery.

Moser had previously pled guilty to third-degree grand larceny, a class D felony, and first-degree scheme to defraud, a class E felony, June 1 in Nassau County Supreme Court before Justice Robert Bogle.

“Cases like this are especially outrageous because homeowners were victimized first by [Hurricane] Sandy, and again by their contractor,”

CORNER ANIMAL HOSPITAL Caring for Dogs & Cats

Instead of performing the contracted work, Moser repeatedly provided excuses as to why his business had not started, such as he was in the hospital or caring for his sick mother, according to prosecutors. In total, Moser admitted to stealing $100,885 from Nassau homeowners. Moser spent these funds on gasoline, dining at restaurants, telephone services and other expenditures to continue running his construction business that were unrelated to the homeowners’ contracts, according to the district attorney’s office.

The Nassau County Office of Consumer Affairs received five complaints from victims of Capstone Remodeling between June 2016 and April 2017, which were forwarded to the district attorney’s office. An investigation immediately commenced.

NY Rising has since reimbursed the Nassau homeowners who were scammed by Moser.

Data suggests worrisome trends for LI’s water

Long Island’s water is facing a dangerous threat — not a mythical sea monster, but harmful and poisonous algal blooms. Recently released data showed the problem was more far reaching this summer than years past.

The Long Island Clean Water Partnership, an advocacy collective supported by the Rauch Foundation, that includes members from Stony Brook University and the Long Island Pine Barrens Society headed by Dick Amper, released an annual water status report Sept. 25 that showed new harmful algal blooms in Port Jefferson, Northport and Huntington harbors and in North Shore ponds and lakes.

“Every single water body across Long Island, be it the North Shore or the South Shore, East End, Suffolk County, Nassau County, all had significant water impairments during this time frame,” said Christopher Gobler, endowed chair of Coastal Ecology and Conservation at the Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. “We would call this a crisis.”

The Island-wide study, which was conducted from May through September, showed Northport Harbor suffered a bloom of Dinophysis, a type of algae that releases a powerful neurotoxin that can affect shellfish. Both Northport and Huntington harbors showed a rash of paralytic shellfish poisoning in other marine life from eating shellfish.

In May, shellfish fishing was temporarily banned in Huntington and Northport harbors by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation because of PSP. The harmful poison began to wane in June, Gobler said, and those bans have since been lifted, according to an automatic message put out by the state DEC. Stony Brook University’s Roth Pond has been

experiencing for years summer blooms of poisonous blue-green algae, a type that is harmful to animals. This past summer the researchers saw the algae spread into neighboring Mill Pond in Stony Brook. In 2017, Suffolk County had more lakes with blue-green algal blooms than any other of the 64 counties in New York, according to the report.

The summer also saw the rise of a rust tide in Port Jeff Harbor and Conscience Bay caused by another poisonous algae, which, while not dangerous to humans, is dangerous to marine life. Gobler said while it did not necessarily lead to fish kills along the North Shore, places like Southampton saw the deaths of tens of thousands of oysters and fish due to rust tide. If the problem persists, Port Jeff might start to see a fish die-off, which could have lasting implications to the local ecology.

The algal blooms and hypoxia were both exacerbated by a particularly warm summer, a trend expected to continue due to climate change. In coming years, Gobler said he expects the number of dangerous algae to spread because of this trend.

“We’re expecting that temperatures will rise 5 or 10 degrees this century, so we need to make changes or things will get significantly worse,” Gobler said.

The prognosis looks grim, with multiple other places across Long Island experiencing harmful algal blooms, but the source is already well known. This year’s study cites heavy loads of nitrogen pollution from sewage and fertilizers as the ultimate source of the algal events, particularly the nitrogen waste from old cesspool systems leaking into local waters.

Suffolk County and several state and local politicians have been advocating for changes, either for creating sewer systems — such as Smithtown’s projects in Kings Park, Smithtown Main Street and St. James — or by creating financing programs for property owners to overhaul waste systems.

In 2014 Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) called nitrogen pollution the county’s “environmental public enemy No. 1.” Since then the county has worked with local scientists and engineers to craft technology that could replace Long Island’s old cesspool and septic tanks, but some of those replacement systems have been very cost prohibitive. Suffolk has made some grant money available to those interested in upgrading.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation in April that put $2.5 billion toward clean water protection and improving water infrastructure, including $40 million for the new sewer systems in Smithtown and Kings Park, and adding a rebate program for those upgrading outdated septic systems. Suffolk County and scientists from Stony Brook University are currently working on cheaper nitrogen filtration systems, but commercial availability of those systems could be years away.

Kevin McDonald, the conservation project director at The Nature Conservancy, said that there is a strong impetus for all of Long Island to change its waste standards.

“We are the nitrogen pollution capital of America,” McDonald said. “We can’t reverse

Flanagan said. “While the word hero is sometimes overused, it is a truly fitting description to the life of Lt. Raguso who lived a selfless life of dedication to others. It is my hope that this honor helps to express the deep appreciation our community has for his brave service.”

Raguso was one of seven members of New York’s 106th Rescue Wing unit killed in the line of duty March 15 when an HH-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.

In addition to serving in the U.S. military, Raguso joined the Commack Fire Department in 2000. He served as captain of Company 2 before stepping up as lieutenant of Company 4, located off Kings Park Road. Raguso was post-

climate change by ourselves, but with the right support and engagement and leadership we can aggressively respond to this problem at a faster pace than at present.”

Many of these areas now experiencing algal blooms were only encountering hypoxia, or a depletion of dissolved oxygen in water necessary for sea life to survive, in the same report released back in summer 2017. Last year Mount Sinai Harbor was spared from severe hypoxia, but now has seen a decrease in necessary oxygen levels this past summer. Gobler said it wouldn’t be out of the question that Mount Sinai Harbor could experience a potentially dangerous algal bloom next summer.

One thing is for sure, according to Gobler: Long Island will experience more hypoxia and harmful algal blooms until new waste systems can catch up to the amount of nitrogen that’s already in the water.

“Technology and governmental policies are rapidly changing to address our island’s water crisis, but we need to increase our pace of change,” said Adrienne Esposito, the executive director of the environmental advocacy group Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

Part of Jericho Turnpike to be named after fallen Commack airman A section of New York State Route 25 will be dedicated by the state to honor the life of a fallen U.S. Airman from Commack.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has signed into law legislation sponsored by state Sen. John Flanagan (R-Smithtown), to ceremonially rename a stretch of Jericho Turnpike after the late Lt. Christopher Raguso. The state will dedicate seven miles of Route 25 spanning from East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills east to St. Johnland Road in Smithtown as “Lt. Christopher J. Raguso FDNY-CFD Memorial Highway.”

“The renaming of this roadway will serve as a reminder of the service and dedication of Lt. Raguso to all who travel through this area,”

5K Running of the Bull takes over Smithtown streets More than 250 runners took to Smithtown’s streets for the annual 5K Running of the Bull Sept. 29. The cool, crisp morning gave way to sunshine and made for perfect conditions for the morning’s run.

Merrick resident Brendan Kaelin, 33, crossed the finish line first with a time of 19 minutes, 4.39 seconds, or an average of 6:03 minutes per

mile. He was closely followed by the top female finisher Maria Marascia, 27, who had an overall time of 9:29.5.

Prior to the 5K race, there was a 2K fun run that was participated in by children under age 12 and their parents, adults with their dogs and those who have just started running.

Letters to the editor

Missing the point on sexual assault accusations

Your “Picking up speed” editorial published in the Sept. 27 issue makes sense.

Long Island Rail Road President Philip Eng’s announcement at a recent MTA board meeting, that he would seek funding in the next MTA 2020-24 Capital Program to pay for both extending electrification on the Central Branch, running east of Hicksville on the Ronkonkoma line to Babylon, and look into the feasibility of doing the same on the Port Jefferson Branch. These are both great ideas worthy of consideration.

Estimated costs for electrification are $18 million per mile. Electrification of the 7-mile Central Branch would provide additional options for thousands of riders from Babylon. They could travel from the Central Branch to Jamaica via the $2.6 billion Main Line Third Track. Electrification of the Central Branch could also afford creation of a new north/south “scoot” service, running

Editorial

We have hit the point as a society where it is near impossible to believe a definitive conclusion will be reached that will convince both sides of the political divide as to what happened between Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh in 1982. This is not to say we did not find Blasey Ford’s testimony under oath credible, but we wish the conversation could go in a different, more productive direction on parallel tracks with the predictable political mudslinging. Believe it or not, we see this moment and conversation as far more important than a single seat on the Supreme Court bench, as mind blowing as that may be for some partisans.

The tenor of the national conversation following the hearing on the matter before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week is a perfect representation as to why people like Blasey Ford hold accusations back, sometimes for decades. As a country we need to take a step back and figure out why the knee-jerk reaction from so many when sexual assault or misconduct accusations come up is to find a reason to invalidate them. The #MeToo, #WhyIdidntreport and #TimesUp movements have moved the discussion undoubtedly in the right direction, but this week should serve as proof we still have a long way to go.

Defining sexual assault and instilling a baseline of acceptable behavior — especially in young men, but all young adults — would be an extremely healthy first step. Legally the term is defined as any unwanted sexual contact. It seems simple when phrased that way, but because of the way rites of passage and coming of age are portrayed and depicted in our society, truly hearing and understanding a partner and being conscious of someone else’s comfort in a certain situation is likely far from the minds of young people in that situation.

This should not be read as an excuse for people who cross the line into sexual assault — which is a crime — but rather a demand to be open to communication and self-reflection as a means to avoid perpetuating this type of behavior. If we can get our kids to a place of having that reaction, to look within and take up a dedication to learning from mistakes, instead of the knee-jerk deny, deny, deny, we’ll have taken a critical, if minimal, first step toward a healthier tomorrow for everyone.

The U.S. Senate used to be a body looked to for leadership, a place where Americans use their democratic right to send our very best, and most objective, neutral arbiters. Anyone who watched the hearing would scoff at that notion in the present day.

We can only hope that once the dust settles on this ugly chapter that body will resume its intended function and becomes a leader in this discussion, regardless of political persuasion.

Port Jeff line electrification is worth it from Huntington via Hicksville to Babylon.

Electrification of the Port Jefferson Branch beyond Huntington has been proposed on and off for more than 50 years.

In the 1980s, MTA and LIRR management decided to go forward with electrification of the Ronkonkoma line rather than on the Port Jefferson Branch. Completion of the proposed $12 million Port Jefferson Branch feasibility study by the end of 2019 would be a great first step. Eng, MTA senior management, board members and many others may not be aware of past history of this concept.

Besides electrification of the Central and Port Jefferson Branch from Huntington to Port Jefferson (estimated $360 million), there is the need to do the same for the Montauk line from Babylon to Speonk ($360 million), on the Ronkonkoma line from Ronkonkoma to Yaphank ($120 million) and Oyster Bay to Mineola ($120

million). All five combined could easily cost more than $1 billion. This does not include several hundred million for a new storage yard on the Port Jefferson Branch between Huntington and Port Jefferson to support electric multiple-unit MU cars.

Once East Side Access is completed by December 2023, all would provide support for a one-seat ride via electric MU cars for service to Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, making the LIRR more attractive to current and future new riders. Height restrictions in the 63rd Street Tunnel built decades before construction of the current East Side Access project, funded in 2006, prevent the LIRR from running duel-mode locomotives and double-decker coaches into Grand Central Terminal.

Larry Penner Great Neck Former U.S. transit employee

Justices need to be credible ‘beyond a doubt’ Michael Zelenak in his letter, “The central pillar of our legal system” published in the Sept. 27 issue has it wrong.

Of course, in a court of law, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. But the Kavanaugh hearing was not a court trial.

It was essentially a job interview. Even the very real dilemma of “guilt by accusation” doesn’t apply since this is a job interview and not a trial.

Of course, it was a job interview for one of the most important positions in our democracy. And, of course Kavanaugh should be treated fairly. Nevertheless,

the essential question is not whether he is guilty of sexual assault.

We will probably never have proof even with the sworn testimony of others and the FBI investigation which the Republican-controlled committee has been finally forced into by U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona), and is severely limited for political purposes. I suspect, I hope wrongly, that the FBI investigation was limited to protect Kavanaugh and provide cover for senators to vote for confirmation.

The real question is whether we, the American people, via the Senate should

“employ” him in a lifetime position on the Supreme Court. It comes down to a judgment call. Since Dr. Ford’s testimony was entirely credible and since Judge Kavanaugh’s response was patronizing, belligerent, showing a sense of entitlement and even probably lying about his yearbook and drinking, I don’t think we should take a chance on him. I think the American people and the Supreme Court deserve a justice who is, beyond a doubt, a person who should be in that position.

Adam D. Fisher Port Jefferson Station

The dual hearing of Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh is portrayed as a mere “he said/she said” with the result hinging on relative credibility. Both appeared credible. Many liars and deceivers appear credible. That is part of our sinful condition. As the Bible says, “The heart of man is deceitful and desperately corrupt; who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9).

And “There is none righteous, no, not one ... With their tongue they have practiced deceit” (Psalms 8:9, Romans 3:13).

God repeatedly tells us in the Bible not to depend on credibility, but that all accusations must be corroborated by at least two witnesses (Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15-19; Matthew 18:16, Hebrews 10:28).

The Ford/Kavanaugh hearing is not a simple “he said/she said.” It’s a she accuses him of criminal behavior and he says she is mistaken and he holds no ill will against her and his family prays for her. That’s a big difference. All witnesses to the alleged event deny it occurred. Hundreds of witnesses to Kavanaugh’s life and character over decades unanimously speak well of him. None corroborates her testimony and no one attests to her lifetime of demonstrated good behavior or stability.

The devil himself depends on credibility.

Deception is his game. Jesus said of his accusers, “Your father the Devil was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth” (John 8:44).

The elephant in the room of the Ford/ Kavanaugh hearings was Roe vs. Wade: the “right” to murder, dismember and sell body parts and tissue of the most innocent, vulnerable and defenseless human beings, over half being young women. Liars and murderers are of the same pedigree and mutually supportive. So goes on the anything-goes, no-holds-barred, ends-justifies-the-means, euphemism-filled, media-academia-Democratic-Party-led attempt to perpetuate the American Holocaust. But I suspect the other side is the beneficiary of many more prayers.

To start with the obvious, perhaps we are a nation of onions. No, we don’t give everyone bad breath D. None and, no, we don’t cause gas. We have of the above layers, as Shrek

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF so famously described in his eponymous movie. The surface, which everyone sees, has a layer of anger and frustration, but peel back a few of those layers

and we’re filled with sympathy, empathy and concern for our friends and neighbors who, like us, are pursuing the American Dream.

Sticking with the food metaphor, perhaps we’re a kitchen stocked with incredible ingredients trucked in from all over the country.

You may never have been to Idaho, but I can assure you that the simple potato in that state is remarkable for its flavor and texture.

While we have all these wonderful ingredients, perhaps we have a kitchen filled with too many cooks, who are changing recipes and oven temperatures so often that the food we’re baking will inevitably be unrecognizable and either vastly overcooked or undercooked.

Then again, perhaps we’re an enormous cruise ship in the middle of a vast ocean. We’re slowly turning but, because we’re such a huge vessel, we move and change direction at a rate that’s hard to perceive, especially when landmarks are either too far away or are masked by an enveloping fog.

Perhaps we’ve become a collection of angry

bees, buzzing loudly, perceiving threats from everywhere and everyone — even inside our own honey-producing hive. Are we truly threatened from within and without, facing insurrection among the ranks of other bees, or are we surrounded by majestic purple mountains? Are we creating such cacophony that we can’t hear the birds singing around us?

We may be a batch of apples, looking suspiciously at the other fruit in the bin, wondering if any of us have turned bad, threatening the entire bunch.

Maybe we’re on a roller-coaster ride, racing up and down, screaming and shouting as we circle tracks that we fear might need repair, hoping to return to where we were so we can regain our equanimity on solid ground again.

Maybe we’ve become a boulder gathering size and momentum as it plunges down a hill.

Our anger and frustration propel us forward, even as we ignore the kinds of moments and people who could, and should, unify a country.

Have you been to a sporting event lately? I’m

not thinking of the athletes as unifying forces.

I’m talking about the salutes to members of the military that often occur during the seventh-inning stretch in a baseball game or during a stoppage in the action in the middle of a hockey game. People throughout the stadium — those who think Trump is either a superstar or an imploding supernova — stand and cheer together, thanking these humble men and women for the sacrifice and service to our country.

Those heroes among us are the few who might do the impossible, catching the boulder or slowing it down as it cuts a path of emotional destruction through an outraged nation.

Then again, maybe the best metaphor to keep in mind amid the finger-pointing and criticism and self-doubt is the document that got us this far: the Constitution. It is the enduring net that protects the country and its citizens, even when we seem to be shadow boxing against each other on a high wire at the top of a circus tent.

with these particulars when they should be in bed asleep. When I asked, he told me his name and that he was from the 6th Precinct. My hostess instincts rushed to the fore. “Would you like some coffee or a sandwich?”

He laughed. It was, after all, a preposterous exchange to be having in the dead of night. “No thank you, but here come the guys from PSEG, right behind the firemen. They will take care of this quickly.”

It wasn’t so quick. A courageous soul from PSEG Long Island went up in one of those extending arm buckets mounted on the truck alongside the burning pole to cut the electric wires. At the same time, the entire street was plunged into darkness, no doubt at the direction of the power company.

“What caused such a reaction?” my neighbor asked a worker. “Who knows?” he replied with a shrug. “It could be a rodent or a squirrel chewing through the wires.” The responders were a gallant crew, seemingly unperturbed by the excitement. Between the fire trucks and the PSEG trucks, there were interminable blinking lights

and radio noise for a couple of hours. The men went about their jobs in good humor, and when the lines were cut and the fire finally out, they promised to come back the next day. They were able to restore power to the rest of the block but, of course, not to us, before they left.

To their great credit, the men were back with trucks by 9 a.m. the following morning.

This surface crew dug up the burnt wires, installed a new pole alongside the charred one and reconnected the overhead wires. The underground crew arrived around midday and installed the other wires beneath the soil, laboring until well after dark under bright lights before they finished.

By 9 p.m. we had our power back in our house but not the other services that are attached to the pole: cable and telephone. As of this writing, those services are promised shortly. Whatever we grouse about on the national level of our country, it is tremendously reassuring that on the local level we are remarkably well cared for. Three cheers for my helpful neighbors, the police, firemen and PSEG men.

Boom, boom, out go the lights

T

he lights went out just as I had finished the chapter, and was about to put down my book and go to bed. I looked at my watch, which shines in the dark, and noted that it was past 11 p.m.

It was a clear night with no lightning or wind, was my first thought.

Probably some driver ran into a telephone pole and disabled a transformer, my brain posited, trying to Between make sense of the you and me sudden blackness.

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF Then the loud noises began. In rapid succession, there was a series of what sounded like firecrackers going off somewhere on our street, close to our house. The acrid smell of smoke began to fill the air.

I briefly thought to go outside, then decided to wait a few minutes before bothering to fumble around for a robe or wake the rest of the house. Within minutes my neighbor across the street phoned. He looks directly at our property. And he said that the telephone pole right beside my driveway was on fire, flames and sparks coming out from the bottom.“We’ve called the fire department, and you seem to be in no immediate danger,” he reassured me. “They said they would be here directly. In fact, here comes a police car now.

It’s beaten the fire truck.”

Time to wake the house and go outside for a look, I decided, hoping not to trip over any obstacle on my way to the front door. The police car was in our driveway, his lights the only ones piercing the darkness. “What’s happened?”

I yelled as he got out and slowly walked toward me. He didn’t want to trip over a tree root or a curb either.

“Your telephone pole is burning but not to worry, the firemen will shortly have it under control,” he offered calmly, as if everyone deals

Health Link Health Information from Local Health Care Professionals

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is a worldwide annual campaign to highlight the importance of early breast cancer detection, treatment, education, research, and support services. This year, St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center’s Breast Health Program will invite over 500 breast cancer patients to honor their strength and celebrate their survival at our Seventh Annual Pink Ribbon Salute scheduled during October.

Diana Yoon-Schwartz, MD, Ph.D Reconstructive Surgeon Administrative Director Reconstructive Microsurgery St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center

St. Catherine of Siena's Breast Health Center provides innovative, comprehensive care for women of all ages and backgrounds in a welcoming and supportive environment. The Breast Health Center combines advanced technology with personalized interest to offer a broad range of clinical and support services from screening and diagnosis to treatment and counseling. The multidisciplinary team consists of physicians, surgical specialists, nurses, specialized technologists, radiologists, a breast health nurse navigator, and is dedicated to caring for the physical and psychosocial needs of all patients.

What is Reconstructive Microsurgery?

What other Plastic Surgical procedures are available at St. Catherine of Siena?

A. At St. Catherine of Siena, we perform some of the most advanced procedures available in reconstructive surgery. In fact, we have equipment and devices that are not even readily available at the most advanced institutions in the country. St. Catherine is one of the first and only programs on Long Island to routinely utilize the Aeroform needle-less expanders for advanced implant-based reconstruction.

A. In addition to immediate breast reconstruction for cancer or after prophylactic mastectomies, I also often perform revisional breast surgery for patients who have had surgeries elsewhere, presenting to me months or years later and are in need of advanced reconstructive procedures. Other hospitalbased procedures routinely performed include: breast augmentation with implants, breast implant exchange, primary skin cancer surgery or repair of Mohs’s defects, breasts lifts, breast reductions, abdominoplasty, post weight-loss body-contouring, facial rejuvenation, and mommy-makeovers.

St. Catherine utilizes new, long-acting local anesthetics, analgesic pumps, and new procedures such as pre-pectoral breast reconstruction to reduce postoperative patient discomfort, which encourages earlier ambulation and improve recovery times. More importantly, at St. Catherine and moreover at Catholic Health Services of Long Island, every patient is an individual and receives customized, coordinated, and the compassionate care they deserve.

I cannot understate the importance of coordination of compassionate care. With my prior experience in molecular research, and my current interest in the molecular biology of breast cancer; I consider each patient’s pathology when planning and offering the best reconstructive options.

A. Reconstructive Microsurgery (RM) is a specialty that requires advanced surgical training and a cohesive team which includes surgeons, anesthesiologists, physician assistants, nurses and operative staff. RM uses magnification from a microscope to facilitate the attachment of exceptionally small blood vessels called arteries that supply blood to transplanted tissue, and it uses small veins to facilitate drainage of blood from that tissue. Thus, tissue, which can be comprised of a combination of skin, fat, muscle and bone, is detached from one part of the body and then moved and microsurgically reattached to another part of the patient’s body, enabling reconstruction. This is performed with sutures, “finer than a hair”, that are used to reattach the blood vessels allowing the transplanted tissue the opportunity to survive in a new location. For example, this technique allows the immediate reconstruction of person’s body part, for example a breast, which was removed for cancer or a jaw injured as a result of a trauma. At St. Catherine, the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator flap, known as the DIEP flap, uses the patient’s lower abdominal skin and fat to replace or reconstruct the breast that had been removed after a mastectomy.
