Smithtown resident runs NYC marathon for a good cause

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Among the 30,000 or so runners crossing the finishing line of the New York City Marathon Nov. 7 was Smithtown resident Julia McNeill, who was running not only for herself but her sister Caroline. The 26-yearold said in a phone interview before the event that her goal was to not only complete the race, but also to raise awareness about Marfan syndrome and raise funds for The Marfan Foundation. The genetic condition is one that affects her sister.

McNeill took part in the race, her first marathon, with a team of eight others, which included members from all over the country and one from Amsterdam. Each of the team members has a loved one who has Marfan or other related genetic aortic and vascular conditions. Caroline McNeill, 23, was 3 years old when she was diagnosed with the genetic condition. Marfan affects Caroline’s body’s connective tissue and has resulted in lifelong cardiac concerns.

Julia McNeill said even though this past Sunday was her first marathon, she has always been athletic and played softball for Hauppauge High School and in college.

“I always liked running,” she said. “It was always on my bucket list to run the marathon, and I figured why not do it for a good cause, raise awareness and educate people about it and just reach as many people as I can.”

Before the race, McNeill, who is a Stony Brook University Hospital nurse, said she

surpassed her fundraising goal of $3,000 and credits her family for the fundraising support. As of Nov. 10, she had raised more than $6,200, and the fundraising page is still open for donations on the Marfan Foundation website.

She originally planned to run in the morethan-26 miles marathon in 2020, but it was canceled due to COVID-19. McNeill said she was training last year and then stopped running for a while and just continued working out regularly at a local gym. Once the summer hit this year, she started training hardcore again for the marathon. She soon found she could run 21 miles, even though it was difficult at first.

“It’s nothing like a game of softball,” she said. “A softball game lasts, what, an hour and a half?”

Training included running four days a week, and one of the days was for longdistance running. She said at first those long-distance runs were less than 21 miles.

In the beginning of training, McNeill could complete six miles, then each week the distance would increase. She hit her peak four weeks before the big day.

Sibling bond

McNeill said she was only 6 years old when her sister was diagnosed so she doesn’t remember much, but the elder sister said she recalls being checked out by a cardiologist as the whole family needed to be evaluated to see if they also had the genetic condition.

Like others with Marfan, the odds are her sister may need open heart surgery one day.

tall and thin, which are symptoms of the condition, said throughout her life people have always been curious about her build and asked questions such as, “Do you play basketball?” or “Why are you so tall?”

The younger sister said while Marfan affects her, she doesn’t see her life being that

much different than others.

“I see it as I have Marfan syndrome, but I’m able to excel in all these other areas as a result,” she said. “You know, other kids don’t play sports, not because they have conditions or heart conditions. It’s just that they don’t NYC MARATHON CONTINUED ON A4

THANK YOU

Rep. Tom Suozzi Helps New York Seniors Choose Home

T

housands of seniors in New York depend on access to highquality, cost-effective home healthcare. Such services are critical for seriously ill Medicare beneficiaries—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recognizing the value of home health, Rep. Suozzi is leading the way to allow more seniors to choose home.

We thank Rep. Suozzi for sponsoring the Choose Home Care Act, a bipartisan bill that will empower America’s seniors to recover in the comfort of their own homes after being discharged from the hospital.

As a safe alternative to skilled nursing home care, the Choose Home benefit would also increase patient and family satisfaction—all while saving Medicare up to nearly $250 million per year.

Choose Home is key to improving America’s healthcare system and strengthening Medicare’s future. The Partnership applauds this effort to enable American seniors to receive more care in the home.

Thank you, Rep. Suozzi, for improving seniors’ access to home health!

like sports, it’s not something they excel at.”

She added when she was younger she found interests outside of sports, and she belonged to the art club in high school and loved going to concerts with friends and supporting her sister at games.

“It’s not anything that’s going to impede you or restrict you in any way, but it’s just going to create new, and sometimes even better, opportunities,” she said.

Caroline McNeill, who is currently studying to become a speech pathologist, added she’s not sure what her life would be like now if she didn’t have Marfan and believes it played a role in her choosing a career in the speech field.

“I don’t think I would be as empathetic toward other people, because I know how I want to be treated, and I want to make sure that other people are treated the same way,” she said.

Julia McNeill describes her sister as “the most intelligent, kind-hearted, down-to-earth person” she knows. McNeill added her sister also has had the strength to overcome any obstacle she met and is her role model.

“She goes above and beyond in everything, and the least I can do is train for four months and do something, just make more awareness and everything for her condition,” she said.

The admiration is mutual. Caroline McNeill said that Julia has always been her protector, and she couldn’t ask for a better sister or sibling relationship.

“I feel like that’s a common theme of us both being like, ‘Oh, you’re my inspiration,’

‘But no, you’re mine,’” she said.

Caroline McNeill said she was proud of her sister and knew she would complete the marathon based on her athletic abilities.

“She’s a born-and-bred athlete, and the fact that she wanted to do it and run for The Marfan Foundation just made it that much more special,” Caroline McNeill said.

The big day

In an email after the marathon, Julia McNeill said she completed the race in 4 hours, 53 minutes, 23 seconds. She made it just under her goal of 5 hours. Cheering her on were her sister, parents, grandmother and boyfriend, who met her four times along the route to refill her water pouch and help her refuel with bananas.

She said running through the city was like nothing she has experienced before.

“The energy from every single person was like no other,” McNeill said. “Every single block you would turn, there would be people lined up shoulder to shoulder just screaming at the top of their lungs cheering you along even if it was mile 1 or mile 26.”

She said many people along the way would hand out tissues for chilly or runny noses, and even offered bananas and orange slices.

“I just felt so much support from thousands of total strangers,” she said. “It was without a doubt the greatest experience of my life.”

To contribute to Julia McNeill’s fundraising efforts, visit the website give.marfan.org/ fundraiser/3351331. The money raised goes to The Marfan Foundation’s mission to advance research, raise public awareness and serve as a resource for Marfan syndrome, VEDS, Loeys-Dietz syndrome and other genetic aortic conditions

Suozzi has big decision to make, comments on ‘red wave’

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM During a Zoom press conference Nov. 4, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY3) said he has a lot to think about before the end of the month. He also commented on the aftermath of Election Day across the country, where many Democrats were unseated by their opponents or are waiting for absentee ballots to be counted in tight races.

Suozzi said he is seriously considering running for New York governor in 2022, but said he will not come to a decision until the end of November.

“I’d love to be the governor of New York State, and I think I’ve got a great record of accomplishment,” he said. “I think I’d be great at the job. I have a vision for the state of New York.

I know what needs to be done.”

Over the next few weeks, he will meet with political consultants to determine if he has a good chance of winning. He added he believes he could win a general election but he wasn’t sure about a Democratic primary.

To date, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, state Attorney General Letitia James and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams have stated their intentions to run in the Democratic primary in June of 2022.

Suozzi said he wouldn’t comment on what he thought about any one particular person hoping to run for governor on the Democratic ticket.

However, he did say none of them have stood up to the far left.

“They’re either outright embracing the far left or they’re playing footsie with the far left,” he said “They’re not picking a side, and we are not going to move our country forward. Democrats are going to lose unless we stand up to the far left.”

He said he agrees with some of the goals of the far left but not always their tactics and policies. Recently, he held a press conference with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY14) as they were trying to secure a grant for SUNY Maritime College in the Bronx for job training for wind energy, saying he supports addressing climate change and creating jobs that are “high wage paying union jobs.”

“Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and I don’t agree on every issue, but we do agree on these two issues, and I’ll work together — I’ll work together with anybody — as long as they want to try and help people and solve the problem.”

Among his concerns regarding the state, he said, is that when he was born [in 1962] the state had about 45 members of Congress and now there are only 27 and will decrease to 26 next year.

“We are not successful in bringing people to our state relative to the rest of the country, and

there are a lot of factors related to it,” he said.

Suozzi added work needs to be done to make the state “more successful, more attractive to the people who want to be here.”

He said that’s why he has fought so hard for the state and local tax deduction, also known as SALT, “because that was a body blow to New York that made our high state and local taxes even more unattractive than they are for both individuals and for businesses.”

Regarding Election Day, Suozzi said during his political career he has learned that races are cyclical where if a president of one party is elected, the next year the other party will do well in elections.

“I think that this year was exacerbated because of the fact that everybody is so exhausted from the Trump years, and they were looking forward to some stability and some normalcy and some governing,” he said.

The congressman added that while the Biden administration got off to a great start by attacking COVID-19 and with the passing of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, now people are concerned with “too much debate and too much finger-pointing, too much extremism and not enough getting things done.”

He said people are still worried about COVID as well as gas and grocery prices increasing, public safety, taxes and more.

Suozzi added the Republicans targeted many issues, such as bail reform.

“I think there’s a lot of issues that have been weaponized effectively, because the American public does not support a lot of talk that’s coming out of the far left, as well as the far right.”

He said in the future Democrats needed “to focus on pocketbook and kitchen-table issues, and real-life issues that affect people’s lives and not this ideological-based extremism.”

PROF E S SION A L & B U SI N E S S Blues Man Piano Tuning was founded in 2020. I am Brad Merila, and I am a 2020 graduate of the Piano Technician Academy. I have been around music all of my life. I have written the arrangements for the Lindenhurst High School Marching Band, thirty-four competitive shows since 1977.

I am also one of their Music Instructors. As an arranger, performer, instructor, and now as a Certified Piano Technician, I am building this business around quality service, exceptional efficiency, and the highest level of professionalism. I will guarantee to not only meet, but exceed your expectations and ensure your full satisfaction.

At this writing, I am the Piano Technician for the Lindenhurst and Southold School Districts, the CW Post Brookville Campus, and several of the Bristal Assisted Living Centers, as well as St. John’s Lutheran Church in Lindenhurst, and many private customers.

I provide tuning services to your piano, whether it’s old or new, and will also perform repairs if needed. Pitch raising, sticking keys, key leveling and adjustments, and full cleaning of strings and soundboard are just some of the services that I will provide. I serve the full Suffolk and Nassau County areas, and I am looking to expand my growing list of clients.

I take COVID precautions seriously. I am fully vaccinated and boosted, and I will respect the request of any client to wear a mask until it is no longer necessary to do so.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor Words matter

A living room in one of the Overbay apartments in Port Jefferson. Photo from the Northwind Group.

The benefits of apartments Throughout the last few weeks, we have been listening to what different candidates have to say when it comes to revitalization and development of our towns.

One of the biggest taglines of most elected officials is that they “want to keep young people on Long Island.”

That’s great, and young people appreciate the sentiment, but what many don’t realize is the stresses it takes to buy a house in today’s market.

Most young people — such as postgraduate professionals — would love to buy their own place at 24 or 25. Unfortunately, many cannot and instead choose to rent as a temporary solution.

While there are mother/daughter suites across Long Island, and plenty of accessory apartments that people utilize, legal and illegal, there are other options popping up from Huntington to Selden — larger apartment complexes, such as the ones built and being built alongside local train stations.

These developments have been instrumental in keeping young people in our area because, in many cases, the couple fall in love with the town and then proceed to buy a house there. The apartments are simply starter homes to give these new working professionals the freedoms they need to grow up.

A big argument that comes out of the development of different areas is that it makes the place “too urban.”

While these complexes bring in more people — but not many — they are just adding a bit to an already developed community.

Take Huntington village or Port Jefferson — these two areas are already considered downtowns. Adding apartments to a place that resembles a small city isn’t completely out of the ordinary.

Embracing the development where appropriate can be good for our communities. It can help our children and our neighbors start their own lives. It may look a little different than 30 years ago, but this is the new normal.

In a recent letter to the editor, Charles Cozzolino accuses me of leaving out facts and “destroying civil discourse” [“What’s wrong with today’s politics,” Nov. 4]. He also says that I am ignoring studies regarding immunity following contracting COVID-19. Unfortunately, it is him who is spreading misinformation in his letter, which I will take the opportunity to correct.

As Cozzolino stated, there have been studies on increased immunity after having COVID-19. He fails to mention the numerous medical journals and organizations saying that immunity is not a substitute for vaccination.

According to the National Institutes of Health, “The details of this immune response and how long it lasts after infection have been unclear.” The NIH also said that compared with unvaccinated participants, those who received at least one dose had higher antibodies and a nearly 50-fold increase in neutralizing activity — vaccination boosts the memory antibodies that develop after infection.

The Journal of the American Medical Association corroborates this assertion: “Unvaccinated health care workers appeared to have less protection against the Delta and Beta variants compared with Alpha about a year after they recovered from mild COVID-19. While 88% of this group had neutralizing antibodies against Alpha, only 47% neutralized Delta.” And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released a study showing that “vaccinederived immunity is more powerful than immunity derived from a previous coronavirus infection. Unvaccinated people who’ve previously had COVID-19 are twice as likely to be reinfected with the virus compared to those who are vaccinated and were previously sick.”

Words matter. It’s why I use them carefully and judiciously. And I stand by my assertion that U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] and state Sens. Alexis Weik [R-Sayville] and Mario Mattera [R-St. James] are failing as politicians to do

their civic and moral duties when they do not use their platforms to promote public health in the form of vaccines and masks. Too many Americans have died from a preventable and highly infectious disease, and public servants should be on board with getting our nation toward herd immunity. Anything else is a dereliction of duty. My stating this is not “destroying civil discourse,” I leave that to the folks on Cozzolino’s side of the political aisle, including Zeldin, who refused to accept the results of a free-and-fair election, and spread misinformation that contributed to the violent insurrection on the Capitol on Jan. 6.

County legislator gives thanks

Thank you, voters of the 13th Legislative District, for reelecting me to the Suffolk County Legislature for a fifth term. And thank you, The Times of Smithtown, for your endorsement.

We have many reasons to be proud of our hometowns, and I look forward to working together to maintain and enhance our communities. It is a privilege to serve you.

It is gratifying to know that you voted for me based on my record of fighting for taxpayers, working for fiscal stability and helping my constituents.

Having grown up in Commack, my wife and I were fortunate to buy a home in this great district, where we raise our children. Please be assured that I will continue to be a full-time legislator who is committed to reducing excessive government spending, protecting the interests of our hardworking taxpayers, ensuring the safety of our neighborhoods, preserving open space and clean water, and promoting sewers and economic development in our downtown communities. As a retired Suffolk County detective, I will continue my efforts to fight corruption in this county and the power and control of certain unions, as well as to support

our dedicated men and women in blue. I worked my way up through the ranks of the Suffolk County Police Department, have the utmost respect for my fellow officers, and I am grateful that you did not pay attention to the outright lies made by the police unions in the recent election campaign.

Again, thank you for your vote of confidence, and I look forward to working on your behalf.

Rob Trotta Fort Salonga Suffolk County Legislature 13th Legislative District

Major victory

Tuesday night, Nov. 2, was a major victory not only for the American people but also for the American ideals of freedom and democracy. Voters across the county, the Island, the state and the country came out in droves to express their repudiation of the radical agenda of the Biden administration and the far left. Divisive tactics executed by those running to the left — toward socialism — faltered in the face of true American ideals.

Capitalism triumphed over socialism and voters took to the voting booth to defend individual rights. Americans came out en masse and voted to secure our freedom of thought and rejected socialist indoctrination, especially in our schools. All in all, democracy prevailed.

As we close the books on this election, we must keep the momentum and move full steam ahead preparing for the midterms one year from now.

As a candidate for Congress in the 2022 midterms, I am proud to call myself a Conservative Republican because I know that I am fighting for what’s right.

Visit my campaign website at www.cornicelliforcongress.com and reach out to our team at teamcap@ cornicelliforcongress.com to get involved because this campaign is not mine, it’s ours.

Looking to control the uncontrollable

H

ave you ever watched someone who was cheering for their team at a sporting event?

Aside from the potential enormous and mindless consumption of calories in the form of hot dogs, chips and beverages, superfans scream at the players, tilt their heads when they want a ball to move in a particular direction, or beg a higher power to help their player outperform people on the other team whose fans are pleading for the D. None opposite outcome.

As fans, we have little of the above control over the result

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF of a game, especially if we’re watching it on television. Sure, home field advantage likely helps some teams and players, as fans urging their favorites on, standing and

shouting at the tops of their lungs could inspire athletes to raise their level of play.

But, really, all of that pleading, begging and cheering into the ether or at the blinking lights on our screens gives us the illusion of control, as if we have some way to influence games.

We generally don’t accept or give up control because we like to think that, somewhere, somehow, our wishes, goals and desires mean something to a deity, a guardian angel, or a fairy godmother. To be human is to hope to control the uncontrollable.

Give me the inspiration to pick the right lotto numbers, please! Let me ride the subway with my future spouse. Keep me from hitting the curb on my driver’s test!

Millions of Americans sit each night with a remote control in their hands, surfing channels, changing the volume and traveling, without getting up from the couch, from a program about ospreys to a fictional story about a female secretary of state who becomes an embattled president. We sometimes revel in the excitement that comes at the point that teeters

between control and a lack of control. When we’re young, we ride a bike with both hands.

At some point, we take one hand off the bike.

Eventually, we learn to balance the bike with no hands, as we glide down the street with our hands on our hips or across our chest.

In our entertainment, we imagine people who have higher levels of control, like wizards with wands or superheroes who use the force to move objects.

When we become parents, we realize the unbelievable joy and fear that comes from trying to control/ help/ protect and direct the uncontrollable.

When our children are in their infancy, we might determine where they go and what they wear, but we generally can’t control the noises they make, even by finding and replacing their pacifiers. These noises are their way of preparing us for the limited control we have as they age.

They make numerous choices, some of which we feel might not be in their longer term best interest. We can see the bigger picture,

which can be as simple as recognizing that taking eight classes while working part time at night and joining the marching band is likely creating an unsustainable schedule. We know how important the basics — sleeping, eating, exercising — are to their lives, even if they make impulse driven choices.

One of the hardest parts of parenting may be knowing when to give them the space and opportunity to make decisions for themselves and to encourage them to learn from their choices.

Parents are lifetime fans of their children, supporting and encouraging them, leaning to the left to keep a ball in play, to the right to keep it out of a goal, or higher when we want their voices to hit the highest notes in their range during a performance of “West Side Story.”

It’s no wonder so many parents are exhausted and exhilarated after a big moment in their children’s lives: we might not have done anything but sit in a seat and clap our hands, but we tried, from a distance and in our own way, to control the uncontrollable.

set that limited Eastern Europeans and Asians in favor of Northern Europeans and Brits. The Great Migration of African Americans from the Southern countryside to Northern cities was seen as a threat and gave a couple of million people impetus to join the Ku Klux Klan by the middle of the decade. Discriminatory hiring and housing practices led to urban ghettos. The horrific Tulsa Race Massacre took place in 1921.

The NAACP moved into higher gear. Finally, in 1928, the first African American congressman since Reconstruction was elected to the House from Chicago.

There was what historians call a “cultural Civil War” as well. This consisted of citydwellers versus small town residents, Protestants versus Catholics, Blacks versus whites and “New Women” versus those with old-fashioned family values.

Many of these themes are repeated a century later. Women, of course, are still working toward a more equitable playing field in the workplace and in politics. Our society has become more liberal, embracing gay marriage, for example, and health care reform. Connectivity, thanks to

the internet and social media, defines us in a much more sophisticated, two-way fashion than the radio did. And technology innovation advances at a faster speed than most of us can catch up. Just as the assembly line revolutionized the production of cars, electrically powered self-driving vehicles are taking to the road. While indoor plumbing was replacing outhouses, today’s toilets can be connected to the internet and send up-to-theminute diagnostic urine samples to physicians.

Just as there were threats then, we see them now. Will artificial intelligence or AI put those with lower skills out of work? There are still outcries against immigrants, attributing fears to them from COVID to taking away jobs. Climate change is a more powerful catalyst for environmental protection than Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir.

The stock market and the economy have reached unimaginable heights. And while nationalist groups are longing for the imagined glorious past, activists are working toward national ideals that have never quite been realized.

We are just emerging from a kind of world war a century later, the villainous COVID-19 pandemic. How will our decade be named?

The 1920s roared. Will we repeat that?

O

ne hundred years ago, it was the “Roaring Twenties.”

The Flappers were the icons then.

They were women who shortened their skirts and shortened their hair. They wore makeup and looser clothing, smoked cigarettes in public, drank alcohol, drove cars, and otherwise reveled in what would have been considered unacceptable behavior in the past.

Oh, and then there was a more liberal attitude toward sexual behavior. It was, in a couple of words, more relaxed. Or so they say.

It seemed that Between after the carnage and you and me sacrifices of World War

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF I, the goal was to have fun. The Great War had dramatically changed lives, bringing women for the first time into the factories to replace the men, forcing them to manage the farms, making them

the breadwinners on a national scale. They won the right to vote. When the men returned, they carried with them from across the Atlantic some of European culture and broader horizons.

It was a time of positivity, of innovation. A key word was “Modern.” Labor saving devices were invented, like the washing machine and vacuum cleaner. The radio came into its own and into living rooms. Thanks to the Ford Model T at $260 in 1924, cars became affordable, offering more freedoms. Credit became cheap, and the economy surged. Presidents Harding and Coolidge issued tax cuts; the stock market took off; people flocked to the cities where they drank, danced new dances, thrilled to jazz and partied.

With prohibition came the bootleggers, making it all more exciting. This also gave birth to organized crime figures like Chicago’s Al Capone. By the end of the decade, it was estimated that threequarters of Americans went to the movies every week. F. Scott Fitzgerald chronicled the decade in his novels.

Life was not all fun, however. An antiCommunist “Red Scare” gave rise to nativism and anti-immigration movements. Quotas were
