Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) has announced the launch of a new dedicated website – ReclaimOurWater.info – that will provide residents extensive information about the recently adopted Reclaim Our Water Septic Improvement Program.

The program is the first of its kind in the county and is designed to help homeowners fund advanced nitrogen removal septic systems at an affordable rate. By installing advanced wastewater treatment systems, homeowners would in turn play a significant role in the county’s plan to reduce nitrogen pollution and protect Long Island waters.

“ReclaimOurWater.info will be a one-stop shop for our residents who want to learn more about the program, how they can sign up and how we can collectively turn the tide to finally reclaim our water,” Bellone said.

“We have taken significant strides in Suffolk County to formulate a comprehensive and realistic plan that reduces the high levels nitrogen in our waters, while making it affordable for homeowners to replace their outdated septic systems and cesspools with some of the most technologically advanced wastewater treatment systems.”

ReclaimOurWater.info provides homeowners with financial, regulatory, technical and infrastructure aspects of the program. The website also provides wastewater industry leaders with information pertaining to septic industry training that are in accordance to county law and the county’s recently updated sanitary code.

Residents are also encouraged to contact septicdemo@suffolkcountyny. gov with questions pertaining to the program and their current septic or cesspool situation.

Recognizing service members at SBU’s LI State Veterans Home

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Elected officials, religious leaders, volunteers and residents gathered at the Long Island State Veterans Home on the campus of Stony Brook University May 26 to give thanks to a roomful of United States military veterans. The annual ceremony, which includes a color guard, firing detail and wreath laying, honors the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country — whose brothers and sisters in arms reside at the home on campus.

The Long Island State Veterans Home is dedicated to serving the more than 250,000 veterans who live on Long Island. Opened 26

years ago, the facility’s relationship with Stony Brook Medicine has been a winning combination for the care of veterans — providing skilled nursing services to which many veterans wouldn’t otherwise have access.

Veterans who fought in Vietnam, Korea and even World War II sat together in the home’s Multipurpose Room, some of them tearful as singer Lee Ann Brill performed moving renditions of “Amazing Grace” and Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings.”

Marine Corps veteran Edward Kiernan read “In Flanders Fields,” a famous war memorial poem written during World War I. Korean War veteran Richard Seybold was honorary bearer of the wreath.

“Every minute of every hour of every day, Americans enjoy the blessings of a peace-loving nation — blessings protected by the selfless service of men and women in uniform,” Fred Sganga, executive director of the veterans home, said to the crowd. “The America we know would not be the same were it not for the men and women we honor on Memorial Day ... a single day during which we honor the spirit of all those who died in service to our nation, but whom we continue to remember and honor in our hearts.”

Stressing the holiday means much more than a three-day weekend, Sganga recognized the collective shift in thinking.

“In recent years,” he said, “a new awareness of the sacrifices our military members are making is emerging, becoming an ingrained

State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who delivered the keynote address, read excerpts from President Ronald Reagan’s (R) 1984 address commemorating the 40th anniversary of D-Day. “President Reagan said, ‘Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here ... you were young the day you took these

cliffs, some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you.

Yet, you risked everything here. Why? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for selfpreservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? ... It was faith and belief; it was loyalty and love. All of you loved liberty, all of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew people of your countries were behind you.’”

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) announced May 23 that his bipartisan legislation, H.R. 1005, to help severely disabled veterans across the country, by expanding access to the Adult Day Health Care program for disabled veterans who need extra assistance, passed the House of Representatives unanimously.

“This is an important piece of legislation that provides a valuable and necessary service to our nation’s veterans, and I am pleased to announce that this bill passed the House of Representatives today,” Zeldin said in a statement.

“By expanding access to Adult Day Health Care programs, we can ensure that all veterans receive the best and most efficient outpatient services that provide each veteran with the assistance and special attention they need, while still allowing them to maintain their independence. With House passage of this bill, we are now one step closer to expanding care for disabled veterans on Long Island and across our country, allowing each veteran to lead a much more fulfilling life, while keeping families together and strong.

Expanding Adult Day Health Care for our disabled veterans is a top priority. I encourage the Senate to act quickly and pass this commonsense bill.”

According to Zeldin’s office, the Adult Day Health Care program is currently available to help disabled veterans and can be offered at state veterans homes across the United States. However, the expense of the program many times is one that veterans or families take on, which in turn significantly limits the number of veterans who can enroll.

The program is also only currently offered at three facilities in the United States, including the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University.

Zeldin’s bill would define the Adult Day Health Care program as a reimbursable treatment option through the Department of Vet-

erans Affairs, which would guarantee that all severely disabled veterans, those who are 70 percent or more service connected disabled, are able to access Adult Day Health Care at no cost to them. The bill would also help expand the program, which could be offered at any of the 153 state veterans homes across the country, Zeldin’s statement said.

Fred Sganga, director of the Long Island State Veterans Home, expressed gratitude for the legislation being passed.

“We are grateful to Congressman Lee Zeldin for his ongoing efforts to care for veterans both locally and nationally,” Sganga said in a statement. “H.R. 1005 will enable veterans to receive the essential services they deserve, while still being able to reside in their own homes. This legislation helps to restore a veteran’s freedom to remain an active member of their community even after succumbing to the perils of military service.

Congressman Zeldin never forgets the sacrifice of brave women and men who donned the uniform to protect the freedoms we all enjoy today.”

“Now this probably runs counter to all kinds of engineering sensibility about keeping traffic moving, but with paint, one can signal that there is something going on here that you should be aware of.”

Sidewalks were another issue of concern that had residents in support and against the idea in particular places. Jennifer Martin, Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright’s (D-Port Jefferson Station) chief of staff, said having feedback from the community could help the town decide where to add them.

“There seems to be a general consensus about the need for sidewalks along 25A, but as of yet, there’s not a community consensus about sidewalks in other parts of the community, especially when you get deeper into the residential areas,” she said.

One woman in attendance asked if there was a way for legislators to persuade residents to be more open to sidewalks, especially since the town owns six feet in front of each piece of property and can do whatever they want with it.

Another resident said while she respected the opinions of those who wanted sidewalks, she felt they needed to look at the historic reasons for not having them.

Barnes diffused the debate though, saying there is more than one solution to the problem.

suffolk county Legislator Kara Hahn, above, joined residents at the setauket neighborhood House for a conversation about pedestrian and cyclist safety.

“Sidewalks are one of several solutions; it’s not the only solution,” Barnes said. “Some of it is the people who are driving in cars not paying attention. When you get behind the wheel you are a driving a huge weighty tank that can kill people if you’re not careful and paying attention.”

The Three Village Community Trust’s next Join the Conversation meeting is June 22 at 7 p.m. The talk will focus on Plum Island and will include a virtual tour by Louise Harrison, a conservation biologist and the New York natural areas coordinator for Save the Sound.

Setauket Village Green site of history and fun

By BEvERLy c. tyLER

The two churches at the Setauket Village Green are joining forces to present a joint country fair on the green June 3 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For many years the Setauket Presbyterian Church and the Caroline Church of Brookhaven, who own the Setauket Village Green jointly, have coordinated their efforts to present individual fairs on separate weekends. This year the two churches have planned and worked together to bring a larger fair filling the entire village green with food, games, appropriate vendors and other activities designed to interest families, adults and children of all ages.

For more than a century there have been fairs on the Setauket Village Green. Just west of the village green, where Main Street turns south, was the general store belonging to Charles B. Tyler. In 1899, the store provided the Caroline Episcopal Church fair with two loaves of bread, four pounds of butter, ten

pounds of sugar, 100 lemons, paper bags and one bunch of bananas at a total cost of $4.57.

As the fair was in the heat of the summer, most likely Saturday, August 12, the lemonade was probably very popular. We can only guess what delicious treats they made with the bread, butter and bananas. So far we have not discovered what other food or activities were going on at the August fair.

Beverly Tyler is the Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society, 93 North Country Road, Setauket. For more information visit www.tvhs. org or call 631-751-3730.

photos from senior Dreams come true

above, Dr. Harry Boutis, Denise marino, and Janet Russell and melissa negrin-wiener from senior Dreams come true are all smiles after marino’s new dentures were ready. Right, Boutis and marino before the dentist began her denture work.

Stony Brook dentist brings the smile to a dream Thanks to Stony Brook dentist Dr. Harry Boutis, Denise Marino, 75, can smile again after the dentist donated his services to replace her dentures.

The two were connected through the elder law firm Genser, Dubow, Genser & Cona’s Senior Dreams Come True program, which grants the wishes of low-income seniors. Marino, a former corrections officer and great-grandmother, said her 45-yearold dentures, top full and bottom partial, were extremely worn down, and when she heard that her wish to get new dentures was going to be granted she was thrilled.

Boutis, who helped with a previous wish, said he became involved with the program through his patient Melissa Negrin-Wiener, a partner in the Melville law firm and one of the founders of Senior Dreams Come True.

Marino said she heard about the organization from her niece, who told her all she had to do was write a letter to the nonprofit.

“I was very surprised, and I thought, ‘Gee, I’ll try it and see what happens,’” she said in a phone interview.

Marino said before receiving the new dentures she was hesitant to smile, and it looked like she didn’t have any teeth and her top lip was sinking in. Boutis, who has been practicing dentistry for 23 years, said a full set of teeth is required for much more than smiling.

“Having a full set of teeth is of the utmost of importance due to function for chewing and eating, facial support and soft tissues, and just as importantly the patient’s mental well-being and self-confidence,” the dentist said.

Boutis said Marino needed to visit the office eight times for appointments that lasted 30 to 45 minutes long. During the time Senior Dreams Come True was helping Marino get her dentures made, the great-grandmother said she was also having car problems so the firm’s legal assistant Janet Russell would pick her up and take her to all her appointments.

Marino, who raised six children and got her first dentures when she was 30, said she is a “chicken” when it comes to going to the dentist but Boutis made her visits pleasant ones.

“Dr. Boutis is such a wonderful, wonderful man,” she said.” He makes you feel so comfortable and he talks to you, and he’s just a real person.”

Marino said after receiving her new dentures she can’t stop smiling.

“It’s so wonderful to have teeth,” she said.

Boutis said he was also pleased with the outcome.

“I was ecstatic with the result we achieved for Denise,” the dentist said. “Being such a nice person that she is, her happiness and new smile are the rewards that make practicing this profession what it’s all about,” the dentist said.

Negrin-Wiener said Senior Dreams Come True started after she and her fellow elder law attorneys, who are involved with many different medical causes such as Alzheimer’s research, realized there weren’t any organizations to raise money for seniors’ basic needs.

The lawyer said in order for a person to qualify for a wish they must be over 65 years old, and a couple cannot make more than $2,000 a month and a single person can make no more than $1,500. The organization just asks the hopeful wish-recipient to write a paragraph about his or her life, and they also look for people who have been involved in their communities.

She said when it comes to requests, “They aren’t asking for lavish things.”

The attorney said people have wished for simple items such as mattresses and ramps, and dentures have been a popular request.

She said the program will even help pay for a trip, which was the case with a Smithtown woman who couldn’t afford to go see her new grandchild.

The program also brought Marino’s car to a mechanic to get it repaired. NegrinWiener said there are no limits on the amount of granted wishes one can receive.

“We fundraise throughout the year, and

we grant wishes on a rolling basis,” she said. “It just depends what the wishes are, if we get help from the community. What we are able to do financially in that point of time.”

Marino said she has been telling everyone she knows about Senior Dreams Come

True and handing out pamphlets.

“I couldn’t have done it without them, because I’m on Social Security,” Marino said. “I just get a little over a $1,000 a month to live on, and what they’ve done for me is just amazing. They’re my little guardian angels.”

Schumer: We must choke off the source of fentanyl

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com One U.S. senator is hoping to cut off the flow of fentanyl to the many New York residents struggling with drug addiction.

U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) announced support for a plan that would stop supplies of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than heroin and is not commonly reversed by Narcan, a lifesaving overdose drug, because of how quickly it enters the brain. The drug has come from China, Mexico and other countries into New York City and across the United States. Schumer also publicly decried a just-revealed White House plan to gut the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s budget by 95 percent.

“President Trump’s nonsensical proposal is the most destructive contribution he’s made yet to the fight against the opioid and heroin epidemic, and another clear sign he has no intention of keeping the promises he’s made to the American people,” Schumer said in a statement. “While candidate Trump pledged to ‘take care’ of Americans struggling with addiction and spend the money to succeed, his proposal to eliminate funding for programs, such as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and Drug-Free Communities — which are instrumental in aiding local enforcement drug trafficking in many communities in New York, at the southern border and elsewhere — would effectively kick Americans seeking treatment to the curb and make our communities less safe.”

In 2017, the office received $388 million, and under the Trump (R) administration’s proposal, the office would receive $24 million in 2018. The Office of National Drug Control Policy, which was authorized in 1988 with bipartisan support, currently directs the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, the Drug Free Communities Program, anti-doping activities and the World Anti-Doping Agency. The proposed budget plan would also completely zero out the Drug-Free Communities and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas programs, which provide substantial support to treatment, prevention and enforcement efforts on the ground.

‘These deadly substances are being delivered to our homes, being sold on our streets and destroying our families. We know how they get here and where they come from, now we need to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the resources to stop this flood and help save lives.’

— Chuck Schumer

U.s. sen. and senate Minority Leader Chuck schumer, above, supports legislation that will help stop the supply of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid much stronger than heroin, below right, from entering the United states. Fentanyl overdoses are not commonly reversed by narcan, seen administered on a dummy during a training session, below left, because fentanyl is extremely potent and short-acting.

“Senate Democrats will never vote to defund these vital programs, and I know there are many colleagues across the aisle who feel likewise,” he said. “I urge the President and Republicans in Congress to reject this proposal immediately.”

With fentanyl continuing its sprint onto the streets of New York City and Long Island, Schumer also launched a major push for the International Narcotics Trafficking Emergency Response by Detecting Incoming Contraband with Technology Act. The senator noted the bill is even more important now, with the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s funding on the chopping block.

“Fentanyl-laced heroin is devastating our communities and law enforcement needs to utilize every tool and technology to stop the flow of this deadly poison,” Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement. “The act will help law enforcement prevent fentanyl and other synthetic opioids from entering the country and will be a great asset in our efforts to dismantle the networks of traffickers and dealers who

are fueling lethal heroin addictions.”

The Schumer-backed bill, introduced by U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts), would give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the hi-tech tools and resources needed to improve detection capabilities and increase the seizure of illicit fentanyl shipped to the U.S. from abroad through mail and express consignment carriers. Schumer said he would work with his colleagues to take action on this issue that is destroying families in New York and the rest of the country, and do everything in his power to prevent Trump’s proposal to cut funds.

“These deadly substances are being delivered to our homes, being sold on our streets and destroying our families,” Schumer said.

“We know how they get here and where they come from, now we need to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the resources to stop this flood and help save lives.”

Although pharmaceutical fentanyl can be misused, most of the fentanyl being sold on the street is illicitly manufactured.

While distributors in China are the principal source of the precursor chemicals used to manufacture the drug, as well as a source for finished-product illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, Mexico is the primary source for illicit fentanyl smuggled into the United States. Fentanyl suppliers then use methods to mislabel shipments or conceal them inside legitimate goods in order to avoid Customs and Border Protection detection.

In 2016, nearly 200 pounds of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids were seized, primarily from along the southwest border. This is a 25-fold increase of seizures over 2015.

In 2015, 753 people died of an opioid overdose and, as of April, that number was projected to hit 1,075 for 2016. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene says fentanyl is driving overdose death increases in New York City and is increasingly present in deaths from drug overdoses. There were 303 opioid-related deaths

in Suffolk County in 2016, including 171 related to fentanyl. In Nassau County, there were 190 opioid-related deaths in 2016, including 62 related to fentanyl.

“Fentanyl is now killing more Long Islanders than even heroin is, and we know it’s only a matter of time before the next deadly synthetic opioid hits the streets,” said Jeffrey Reynolds, president and chief executive officer of the Family and Children’s Association, a nonprofit agency that helps protect and strengthen vulnerable children, seniors, families and communities on Long Island.

“As substance abuse prevention specialists and addiction treatment professionals work to reduce the demand for drugs, the act will help reduce the supply of synthetic opioids flooding across our borders, into our homes, schools and communities. This legislation is critical as we continue to battle an unrelenting opioid and heroin crisis.”

Suffolk County district attorney candidates emerging

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewsmedia.com On the heels of Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota’s (D) decision to forgo a run at Page A26 a fifth term this November, two Republicans and a Democrat, each longtime law enforcers, so far are publicly vying for the county’s top prosecutor job.

Spota, who assumed office in 2001, made his official announcement May 12, about a year after County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and several legislators called on him to resign from his position after playing a role in the promotion of former Suffolk County Chief of Police James Burke, who pleaded guilty in February 2016 to charges of a civil rights violation and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Accused of taking part in a police cover-up, which spurred on a federal investigation, Spota has been under scrutiny from both sides of the aisle for the last year. It is not clear whether or not that played a role in his decision.

With Spota out of the race, the torch will be passed on to a newcomer, of which there are three known contenders eyeing the seat — Ray Perini (R), former chief and founder of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Narcotics Bureau; Bill Ferris (R), a Vietnam veteran and former assistant district attorney; and Tim Sini (D), current Suffolk County police commissioner — according to the Suffolk County Board of Elections. Each of them, as well as any others who decide to throw their hat in the ring, are expected to file petitions between July 10 and July 13.

Perini, 69, a Huntington resident, who entered the race in January, said he’s been training his entire career to be district attorney and wants to “take politics out of the DA’s office.”

“At this point in my career, I don’t want anything else,” Perini said. “I don’t want to be county executive, I don’t want to be governor,

that should not happen in Suffolk County.”

Sini, 36, the youngest commissioner in the history of Suffolk County, announced his official run for the job on the same day Spota made his announcement, despite a claim in front of the county legislature in February 2016 before he was confirmed that he had no intentions of running for district attorney.

“I think that when he said that he wouldn’t run, he meant what he said,” said David Kelley, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and chairman of Sini’s campaign. “Since then, a couple things have happened. Having the insight he does on the needs of the DA’s office and how the shape it’s in is so bad and such a disservice to the county, he could see that firsthand from his vantage point as commissioner from taking on difficult cases like MS-13, recognizing this office needs somebody who can be really good ... he stepped up to the plate and I think that’s exactly what we need.”

Sini, who did not return multiple requests for comment through Kelley, has taken on the county’s gang violence and drug problem head-on in his short time in his position. He recently spoke before the U.S. Senate to outline the departments initiatives in tackling the county’s gang problem.

“If you take his commitments to public service and his professionalism, and put it together, he, by far, surpasses any of the other candidates and I think he’s exactly what the county needs,” Kelley said. “He’s a professional prosecutor, he’s spent a good part of his career in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, he’s clerked for a federal judge, he’s a highly skilled and highly trained lawyer and prosecutor, and he also knows the ins and outs of the criminal justice system in Suffolk County.”

ing voters a choice at the polls.

“I wouldn’t accept a cross-endorsement,” the father of two said. “I want the voters to pick.”

Ferris, 70, a former Navy captain in the Vietnam war and Fordham Law School graduate from Southold, announced recently his intention to run against Perini, the choice of the Republican Party for the September primary.

“I want to restore the integrity and professionalism to the office, as well as faith in the judicial system and also in law enforcement,” Ferris, who served as prosecutor for 23 years under former Suffolk District Attorney Patrick Henry starting in 1978, said. “My background is clear and clean. I was in that office for 23 years and handled homicide, vehicular homicide, served on the Katie Beers [kidnapping] matter, tried a political corruption case against county sheriff Patrick Mahoney, served as president of the Suffolk County Bar Association recently, have taught young lawyers ethics and served on the Grievance Committee for Nassau and Suffolk for eight years.”

He said anyone who runs for the DA position has to have a clean record of integrity, accountability and professionalism, all of which the father of two said he has.

Among his biggest priority if elected, he said, is getting a handle on the gang situation that has left Suffolk residents feeling unsafe.

“I’ll protect the citizens, fight the gangs and give us back our good name,” Ferris said in a statement. “While I was in the DA office, we did have a gang unit, which was discounted under Mr. Spota … The DA’s office is in a critical position to bring in federal agency, state, and local police to put together a master plan to both investigate and prosecute gang members. Parents are afraid on a daily basis to send their kids to school and

I don’t want to be judge ... I want to be the next DA because I can make this county safe again.”

A highly experienced criminal lawyer with an active practice in Islandia, Perini has 43 years of experience in the criminal justice system, 17 of which were spent as a prosecutor bouncing from Brooklyn to Suffolk County, where he started the Narcotics Bureau in 1976.

In 1989, he went on to work with federal and state police agencies, including Suffolk County Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI and drug task forces. He served as co-chair of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association’s criminal law committee and is a past president of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association.

“There is nothing I haven’t done in the criminal justice system,” Perini said. His major focuses if elected, he said, are gang violence and drug overdoses. “As a united front, working with the federal government, DEA, FBI and cops on the street, collectively, we can win this war [against drugs]. We need experience, this is what I’ve done, this is what I can do. All I care about is getting the job done.”

Perini ran unsuccessfully against Spota four years ago after the incumbent was cross-endorsed on all four party lines, for which Perini attacked Spota for not giv-

village Nonprofit seeks volunteers to lend a helping hand

By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com Sometimes receiving a little help can make a big difference, especially for the sick and injured.

Since 1971, the volunteers of the Three Village Society for Lending Aids to the Sick have been there when residents have needed to borrow a wheelchair, walker, shower chair, commode, or as the organization’s historian Mary Alice Serdock said, “anything that people need to be mobile.”

The society’s president Victoria Bellias said it all began when the wives of airline employees who lived in the area decided to start a nonprofit to help the sick and injured. They received assistance from fellow community members as well as the Stony Brook Fire Department, and later on, they received an endowment fund from the Ward Melville family.

Originally operating out of a doctor’s office in Setauket, the society now stores hospital and recuperative equipment in a garage owned by the Ward Melville Heritage Organization on Knoll Top Road in Stony Brook. Serdock said residents simply call the organization and a volunteer schedules a time to meet with them, and since many of the volunteers live nearby, they sometimes can meet a caller right after they hang up the phone.

“They get what they need, and I come back home,” Serdock said. “Living close is an advantage.”

The society historian said the nonprofit currently has approximately 10 volunteers but it always helps to have more people on hand to aid residents in picking up equipment. She said a volunteer who repaired the wheelchairs and walkers is no longer available, so the group is hoping to find someone who can make simple repairs.

Serdock said she’s been involved with the society for about six years, and it doesn’t take much time out of the volunteers’ lives. Members alternate between who helps a client pick out items at the garage, and member meetings are held once a quarter. She said there are even a couple of volunteers who work fulltime jobs and only help during the weekends.

Bellias, who has been with the organization for 30 years, agrees that the society is an easy one to volunteer for due to the minimal time needed.

Volunteers with the three Village society for Lending aids to the sick, above, are looking for new members to help them distribute hospital and recuperative equipment, left, at their stony Brook location.

“It’s a nice community activity to volunteer for,” Bellias said.

Both Serdock and Bellias said they always try to spread the word about the society so Three Village residents know there is a place they can borrow hospital and recuperative equipment.

While items can be borrowed free of charge for three months, the volunteers said if someone needs equipment longer, they simply need to call the nonprofit and ask for an extension.

Bellias said seniors can also test out some of the devices the society has to loan out.

“Some find that a rollator [rolling walker] is helpful while others may prefer just a cane,” she said. “If they test out a few items, then they can decide what is best for them.”

In addition to lending items, the society also accepts new and gently used medical items or monetary donations to buy equipment. Those who are in need of hospital or recuperative items or are interested in volunteering should call 631-751-0500.

Being down 5-1 in the Suffolk County Class A finals didn’t scare the Patriots — it fueled them.

According to senior Eddie Munoz, Ward Melville coaches say lacrosse is a game of runs, and all the team needed was a run to get back in it.

So Ward Melville’s Zach Hobbes scored twice in a four-run spurt across the end of the first half and beginning of the second, and Munoz capped it off with an unassisted goal to tie the game, en route to a 9-8 win for Ward Melville over Smithtown East May 31.

“Down 5-1 is tough to come back from, but we made our run at the right time,” Munoz said. “And we didn’t stop.”

After senior Mike Marino scored off an assist from senior Mike Latini for Smithtown East, Munoz was quick to help tie it up again, when he scored his hat trick goal off a pass from Hobbes. Senior Dominic Pryor scored next off a feed from classmate Andrew Lockhart, but Smithtown East senior Connor DeSimone tied it up for the Bulls.

DeSimone was held off the scoreboard besides one assist, thanks to Ward Melville senior Andrew McKenna, who was tasked with guarding one of Long Island’s leading goal scorers.

“I know he’s a very good player, but I’ve versed [gone up against] a lot of good players,” McKenna said. “He’s one of Long Island’s best, but knowing I have a great

defense around me and a great goalkeeper behind me in Perry Cassidy made me all the more confident.”

Watching his defenseman lean in to help with a dodge on the next play, Munoz said he decided to step into it, hoping Pryor would find him with a pass. With little time to think, Munoz decided to send the ball to senior Noah Kepes, who finished his shot to put Ward Melville back on top, 8-7.

“When Dom passed the ball, I knew I was a little far out, so I took one glance at the crease in my windup, I saw Noah there and I couldn’t not pass it to him,” Munoz said. “It was a great catch, a great handle and a great finish.”

Senior Jack Purdy tacked on an empty netter for what the Patriots thought would be an insurance goal, but Smithtown East’s Dominic Pizzulli found the netting with 22.1 seconds left, and Ward Melville’s defense was able to hold the Bulls off after senior Brian Herber’s faceoff win.

“We were resilient,” McKenna said.

“Down 5-1 we still went out there and competed, gave 100 percent on every play and played good, hard, smart lacrosse.”

He said it’s been a dream ever since he was a kid to make it to this point in his senior year with his longtime Patriots surrounding him, and they agreed.

“We needed to get back here,” Munoz said. “I couldn’t let us lose today. This is a dream come true.”

Ward Melville will play Massapequa in the Long Island Championship June 3 at 10 a.m. at Stony Brook University.

Letters to the editor

The importance of learning our history

File photo

Supporting Sini’s successes Tim Sini has stabilized what was a seriously unstable situation.

The former prosecutor turned Suffolk County police commissioner took over following former commissioner James Burke’s arrest and ultimate sentencing for unjustly beating a man who stole a duffle bag from his sport utility vehicle and overhauled the department.

Sini, a Democrat, brought back the public’s faith in the police.

He announced a few weeks ago that he will run for Suffolk County district attorney.

Since his role began in 2015, he has helped expand Crime Stopper’s reach to include a tip hotline; rolled out the 631-852-NARC (6272) number where residents can anonymously report drug dealings; unveiled The Ugly Truth program, which raise awareness about and informs parents of the signs of substance abuse, as well as explains the physical and emotional consequences of using drugs; and helped train 3,000 people to administer Narcan, an opioid overdose reversal drug.

Sini also reported last year was the safest year in the department’s history, with crime statistics dropping to an all-time low.

The current commissioner’s reign has also brought in a period of increased transparency, holding press events sometimes multiple times a week for updates on cases, constantly refreshing the department’s Facebook page with videos and information about arrests, and encouraging residents to get involved by submitting tips that have successfully lead to many arrests.

In two short years Sini has made his mark on the Suffolk County Police Department, and it’s a shame to see the captain leave the ship, especially at a time when steady leadership is needed most, as MS13 gang violence has garnered national attention in recent months, as with the opioid and fentanyl crisis.

It’s unclear who would replace Sini if he is elected this November, but he or she will certainly have big shoes to fill.

And on a side note, we have heard concerns about Sini running for office while continuing to work as commissioner. It’s our opinion that if the president of this country can run for re-election while continuing to serve, a local police commissioner should have no problem doing the same.

As someone who has taught history for many years, I have often encountered the question, “Why are we learning this?” from many of my students. My retort has always been, “History often repeats itself and we must try to learn from the mistakes and triumphs of those before us.”

I stress the importance of understanding how this great country came to be and the impact our development has had on the world. Together we discuss the evolution of our government and the respect that our leaders have garnered from their constituents.

As the year progresses we note the changes that come with every president, both positive and negative, the wars that have been fought for independence, civil and human rights, imperialistic gain, etc., and the relationships that we have cultivated with other nations throughout our history. My students become more and more engaged as they realize that they, too, are part of the history-making process and at age 18 they will be eligible to make a statement by executing their right to vote.

Social studies is the subject area that in our schools encompasses a wide array of subsets including history, geography, government and civics, economics, sociology, psychology and so forth. Unfortunately many of these courses are being pushed to the wayside in favor of a more in-depth curriculum of math and English Language Arts. This is a sad commentary on our times; the development of our country and its government seems no more important than extra recess time.

In the age of Trump, I should think that historical ignorance would be more worrisome than ever. When we have a leader spouting incorrect information pertaining to Andrew Jackson, a slave-owning, Native-American murdering tyrant who happened to be our seventh president, something has to be wrong.

The right wing doesn’t seem to have a problem with a leader who admires a man depicted in a political cartoon as a divine monarch, who forced the Native Americans off their land down the Trail of Tears. What is even

more disturbing is that every word Trump sputtered out was incorrect. He has no comprehension of how or, more importantly, when President Jackson served in office. Trump shows utter disrespect for President Abraham Lincoln and those that fought to abolish slavery in the Civil War. It is inconceivable to me that this mockery is allowed to continue, and I actually long for the days of President George W. Bush.

All citizens should have at least basic knowledge of U.S. history and government, but the president of the United States should have quite a bit more. Perhaps rather than decreasing the amount of time our students spend in a social studies classroom we should have them travel to Washington, D.C., to offer their tutoring services to the commander in chief.

Or maybe Trump could borrow Sarah Palin’s flash cards, although they would have to be updated to reflect the changes that neither one of them is aware of, I’m sure.

This madness has to stop.

Attacks on liberals not fake news This is a reply to the letter written by Robert J. Parmegiani in The Village Times Herald May 4 issue [“In defense of Renaissance Technologies”].

Have you ever stood with your “Patriot” group on the 25A corner on Saturday mornings to show your support? On a few occasions, I have stood with the group across the street. I can assure you that the North Country Peace Group protesters and other concerned citizens, who stand out there every Saturday— even through the twoterm Obama administration — are clean shaven, showered and very supportive of American values.

On the other side, your “hugely supportive cadre of local patriots” are anything but. They scream obscenities, hurl personal attacks at each and every person standing across from them and the men belittle woman with catcalls through megaphones. If you notice, none of their signs sing the praises of Trump. The signs are nasty attacks on liberals. This is all happening while waving and hiding behind the American flag.

This is not fake news. I have been at the receiving end of their

vile conduct. I encourage you to experience this scene yourself.

Have you or any of our local Trump supporters attended a local gathering to share your thoughts and support of this administration? We would love to have an open dialogue and hear your thoughts on how this administration is truly making our country better.

I have been to quite a few local gatherings, ones that are open to the public. These meetings are organized, attended, funded and advertised pretty much by the same people who you claim are “milling about.” Or they are organized by the same people who give up their evenings and weekends to march in endless protests condemning this administration for taking away our civil liberties, boasting of sexual assault, taking medical insurance away from millions of people (check out the video of their “frat house” celebration), attempting to destroy the environment, withholding tax information, colluding with corrupt and inhumane dictators and leaders and now, it appears, they are turning our churches into

political arenas. (These are just a few facts of how Trump is making America “great.”)

We are protesting against an administration that is nothing but a group of wealthy, angry white people trying to make themselves wealthier, while systematically destroying our Constitution and government. And liberty and justice for all? Ha. Take that right out of the pledge.

So, no, Mr. Renaissance Trump supporter. We are not “bitter.” We are sickened and we will not “sit back” and watch this incompetent administration take down America. It’s a wonder any of us has the time to shower and shave but rest assured, we will make ourselves as presentable as possible during the midterm elections when we regain the House and finally have cause to celebrate.

And, yes, we are all aware that the founders of Renaissance had the common sense and intelligence to support candidates who are competent and knowledgeable on how to actually govern and run a just and fair America.

OpiniOn Taking old routines to new destinations

W

e all have our routines. We go to certain restaurants, drive certain routes to work and support certain gas stations, where we know we’ll get a competitive price, a friendly response from the attendant and rapid service.

When we travel, everything changes. We sleep in unfamiliar beds, flick the channels on television stations where the stations aren’t the same numbers as they are on Long

By Daniel Dunaief Island, and navigate along routes that aren’t our familiar pattern.

Breaking the routine offers us a chance to step away from our lives and to experience something new. Maybe we’ll go to a museum in a new city

D. None of the above

or visit a place we’ve seen in a movie, which blends both the familiar and the unknown.

Our level of adventure and appetite for risk — as in, what happens if I don’t like the experience — can rise or fall depending on our travel companions.

Recently, I visited another city for a weekend with my daughter, who was traveling with a group of her teenage contemporaries and their parents. We all managed to get to our designated stops in our cars and to return to a hotel chain so ubiquitous that, with the blinds closed and without access to the local weather on TV, we could have been in Anywhere, USA. We each had a GPS and an address for our activities which reduced both the stress and the adventure that came from the unknown.

While we could have gotten lost, the probability of that seemed slim.

Getting lost, nerve-racking as it might have been 20 years ago, is almost an impossibility with navigation systems built into cars, phones and watches.

Following an afternoon activity, several of the girls decided they were hungry. One of the members of the group suggested a national pizza chain, to which the others readily agreed.

I wrinkled my brow at the suggestion and wondered, as a cellphone order was quickly placed, whether we might want to try a local pizza restaurant instead.

“No, that’s OK,” I was assured. “This will be better.”

I waited in a packed car until the order was placed, at which point the girl in the back transferred the address to her mother, who was riding shotgun during my weekend away with my daughter.

“Honey,” the mom said, “are you sure you dialed the closest restaurant?”

“Yes,” the daughter grumbled, shaking her head at her mother.

“I just checked the address for this restaurant and it’s two hours from here. You sure you want a pizza that far away?”

“Wait, what?” the daughter said, double-checking the address and the

phone. Sure enough, the restaurant was on the other side of the state.

“Wait, before you order from a closer one,” I said, as she was already searching her phone for a nearby restaurant, “we’re sitting right outside a pizza restaurant. Don’t you want to try this one?”

“No, thanks,” she said, trying to be polite to someone else’s parent. “We want this one.”

When we got to the closer restaurant, we ran into another parent who was picking up pizza for his family. With so many other local choices, how did both families make the identical choice?

I suppose they might have discussed their food preference during the day.

That was unlikely, given the social split in the group.

Alternatively, they have become so accustomed to the familiar that they prefer it, even when traveling.

I suppose when the opportunity for something new and different knocks, people don’t always feel the urge to answer the door.

the recent article in the Times: “Planning to Age in Place? Find a Contractor Now” by Paula Span.

At this point, with about 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, it would make the most sense for every new house to be constructed according to what is termed “universal design.”

Such homes would have bathroom grab bars, higher toilets, curbless showers, widened doorways and added lighting. Such features would promote independence for the disabled and older people.

There are other associations that offer similar certification programs.

Certified Living in Place Professional program is one such. Local agencies on aging and senior centers may also give this kind of information. What seems to work best is if an occupational therapist and a CAPS, or equivalently trained graduate, team up to interview each homeowner and determine what is most needed.

Costs for these modifications can be a problem. There is little government help for such remodeling, with the exception of the Department of Veterans Affairs and perhaps Medicaid. Some states do offer tax credits but not many.

Mostly such alterations are privately financed, despite the potential savings from staying at home. A bipartisan bill was introduced in Congress last year for a $30,000 federal tax credit, but to date it has gone nowhere.

Approximate costs could run as follows, according to Bawden: two grab bars installed for $200-$300; replace doorknobs with lever handles $60-$90; for every relocated electrical outlet or switch, $175-$250. Those are the smaller costs. Then there is replacing a tub with a roll-in shower at $8,000$10,000, and an entirely new bathroom with universal design elements for more than $25,000.

The biggest hurdle of all may be to get older residents to feel that they need such modifications. At the least, kitchen floors might be textured rather than covered with tiles that are slippery when wet; the color of the kitchen counters might contrast with the color of the floor as the more elderly lose depth perception; front edges of stairs could be outlined with colored tape; freezers are safer in a pullout drawer at the bottom of a refrigerator — and, for Pete’s sake, get rid of those muchbeloved throw rugs.

Home sweet home into old age

I

f you were to ask those of us of a certain age, we would insist that we want to age in place. That is, we want to continue to live in our houses, cook in our kitchens and sleep in our bedrooms. This is a worthy goal for it saves family and the government a lot of money. Statistics have shown that hospitalization and nursing homes are far more costly than living at

By Leah S. Dunaief home. Still, we also know that more accidents happen in the home, and that means continuing to live at home presents certain challenges.

The greatest hazard, it would seem, is for older adults to fall. Now, and for the last score of years, there are programs with certifications that train people how to make homes safer, especially for preventing falls. For example,

Between you and me

the National Association of Home Builders offers a course that trains CAPS: certified aging in place specialists. These may be builders, remodelers, occupational therapists or interior designers who can come into a home and make suggestions for retrofitting.

There are 3,500 such specialists but Dan Bawden, from Houston, who helped develop the program in 2001, told The New York Times there are 10 times as many needed to upgrade such homes. The highest rate of home ownership in the country, some 80 percent, is by older people, and the great majority of us are in single-family homes.

The three most important features allowing residents to move around safely are: to have an entrance without steps; to live on a single floor; and to have hallways and doorways wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard, less than 4 percent meet that description. And if further features are thrown in, like doors with lever handles — rather than knobs — plus light switches and electric outlets that can be reached from a wheelchair, that rate falls to 1 percent, according to
