Hundreds Turn Out for Harvest Fun at Benner’s

Despite the rain Sunday afternoon, hundreds showed up for Benner’s Farm’s annual Harvest Festival Oct. 19 and 20 in East Setauket.

Attendees celebrated the season with pumpkin picking, hayrides, live music, craft and food vendors and more.

Bob Benner, the farm’s owner, demonstrated how to use an apple press and discussed the

steps in making apple cider as well as how people centuries ago stored fruits and other perishables in root cellars.

The trails on the grounds were also decorated with tombstones and scary characters that attendees could enjoy on foot or during a hayride.

Business Not Only Survives But Thrives After Fire

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

An East Setauket business proves that people somehow manage to emerge from the ashes of tragedy.

A year after a fire ripped through one of the buildings that makes up the Setauket Commons at 60 Route 25A, Hayes Physical Therapy is still operating from a storefront down the road in the Old Schoolhouse Square Shopping Center at 238 Main St. Anne McLaughlin, president of Hayes Physical Therapy, said she didn’t expect the move to be as seamless as it was, and the business, which celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, has grown in its new location.

“It’s a good spot,” McLaughlin said. “We have fantastic neighbors. It seems like we have even better visibility here. It’s actually working out better than we could have hoped.”

McLaughlin, who bought the business in 2009, said the office operated out of the Setauket Commons building since 2004. She, along with other tenants, including Brookhaven Cat Hospital, were forced to close down after the Oct. 7, 2018, fire. The incident, which took more than two hours to control, according to

Hayes Physical Therapy, left, is now located in the Old Schoolhouse Square Shopping Center. Right, Anne McLaughlin, president, inside the new office. Left photo from Hayes Physical Therapy; right photo by Rita J. Egan

Setauket Fire Department, left smoke and water damage in its wake.

After the fire, the business owner, who lives in Bay Shore, said she made house calls when possible and referred some patients to colleagues in the surrounding area. When the physical therapy office was able to reopen in its new location in February, all the employees returned, and the business currently has three therapists

and five support associates, and recently, they have taken on an intern.

McLaughlin and her employees reached out to former patients as best as they could through phone calls and ads, while other people have found them while patronizing other stores in the shopping center. She said she is grateful that many of her patients have returned for treatment.

A recent fire at Mario’s, located in the same

shopping center, she said affected her.

“That sends a nasty chill coming in and seeing fire trucks in the parking lot again,” she said. “We’re wishing them the best. That’s been a horrible drain on the whole community.”

After the ordeal, McLaughlin said she would advise anyone who goes through a similar tragedy to consult those who are experts in dealing with such things, crediting her team of lawyers and insurance professionals with giving her valuable advice.

“I was able to rely on advice from other professionals to really guide me through completely unnavigable waters,” she said.

“I didn’t know one thing about how to pick up the pieces after something so horrific.

Thankfully there are a lot of people who know more about that than I do. I trusted them and I was very fortunate.”

McLaughlin said she also credits members of the surrounding community who bolstered her spirits by keeping in touch and asking her when she was going to reopen.

“It’s a matter of fortitude,” she said. “It’s really just not giving up and not getting disgusted. It can be very frustrating. You reach the outer depths of whatever frustration you thought you could handle, and you buckle up and keep going.”

Stony Brook Children’s Hospital Set to Open in November

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

It’s apparent, when stepping into the main lobby of the new Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, slated to open for patient care Nov. 17, that young patients will come first. The downstairs lobby is decorated in soothing tones with a fun nautical theme. One wall features a live feed of fish swimming at the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead.

Stony Brook Medicine held a ribbon cutting at the site with staff and elected officials in attendance Oct. 17. The 71,500-square-foot, 114-bed hospital will be the only children’s hospital, according to Stony Brook Medicine, with single-patient rooms on Long Island.

(See brief on page 7 for room breakdown.)

“We’re really trying to get everything into a child-friendly environment, and this is sort of like the icing on the cake to have our building and to get the pediatric inpatients out from the 11th floor of what is predominantly an adult hospital into this proper space that was designed for kids and their families,” said Dr. Margaret McGovern, professor of pediatrics and physician in chief at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, during a tour and interview two days before the ribbon cutting.

With a full-service health care program that includes a Level 1 pediatric trauma center, neonatal intensive care unit and more, McGovern said Stony Brook Medicine treats an array of pediatric conditions.

“In general, the acuity is high,” she said.

“These are kids who really need to be in the hospital. It’s everything from an infection to a broken bone.”

McGovern said the single-bed rooms will provide infection control, comfort, privacy and security. The children’s hospital will be located on floors 4 through 7 in the new Medical and Research Translation Building, also known as MART, which combined with using wristbands with devices, will provide extra security for children.

Each patient’s room will have a pull-out sofa for parents to sleep in, refrigerator, safe and workspaces for families and hospital staff.

Each room also has a private bathroom with a shower that is wheelchair accessible.

Dr. Carolyn Milana, interim chair in the Department of Pediatrics, said that the singlepatient rooms will allow medical staff to easily have private conversations with families, as the current rooms have two patients each and can only be divided with a curtain. She said at times medical teams have to step out of a room to have a conversation with parents.

“This will allow the whole team to come in and really have a conversation with the family in private, and it’s quieter,” Milana said.

The children will also have a remote to

control the lighting over artwork hung on the walls, and medical teams will be able to pull up records and patient care educational materials right up on the room’s television screen.

Maureen Cole, associate director of nursing at the children’s hospital, said that the rooms were designed after receiving feedback from families on an advisory council.

“They were very instrumental in some of the additions that we have made, and then the children gave a lot of feedback, too, because we have a youth advisory council who have been touring the building,” she said.

Cole said children even offered advice on how they should be spoken to and who should be in the room when conversations occur about their care.

In addition to the private rooms, McGovern said the hospital was designed for respite with play spaces and rooms, and even a teen lounge.

The building will also have an adolescent unit on a separate floor from younger children and a classroom with Wi-Fi. Ronald McDonald House of Long Island, a New Hyde Park nonprofit that provides support to improve the health of children, has a family room in the hospital so parents can sit and relax, and even do work. A washer, dryer and shower across from the room are also available to families.

The building includes an elevator for patients being transported for procedures that is separate from visitors. The special procedure unit will provide services such as sedated

MRIs, pediatric endoscopies and bone marrow procedures for both inpatients and outpatients.

McGovern said nearly 10 years ago Stony Brook Medicine declared itself a children’s hospital because they recognized the need to expand children’s health care programs in Suffolk County.

“There are about 450,000 kids in Suffolk County,” she said. “That is absolutely a population that can support a children’s hospital. So, we’ve been building the number of pediatric providers who are on our full-time faculty — now there’s almost 180 of them, 30 different pediatric specialties.”

McGovern said there are also more than 250 nurses on staff and child life services employees and social workers.

“Everyone likes to work in a place that has been thoughtfully designed to help them do their best work,” McGovern said. “I think that has resonated, also, with our staff and keeping good staff. We’re recruiting great physicians here. Pediatricians like to work at children’s hospitals because it says a lot about the commitment of the organization to children’s health to have a children’s hospital. I think that has helped us be successful recruiting doctors here from the best training programs in the country to come and join us to help us take care of the kids in Suffolk County.”

According to Stony Brook Medicine officials, the cost of the construction was $73 million and was part of Stony Brook Medicine’s $450 million expansion, which includes a

10-story hospital pavilion and new cancer center. To help with the cost, state Sens. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) and John Flanagan (R-East Northport) secured $50 million from the state. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and the State University of New York, under the leadership of former Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, helped to secure more funds through a $35 million NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant.

More contributions came from donors with $25 million from 3,584 contributors to the Children’s Hospital Building Fund, which was supported with matching gifts of $10 million from an anonymous donor and $2.5 million from the Knapp Swezey Children’s Challenge.

An additional $50 million was from a historic $150 million gift to Stony Brook University from Jim and Marilyn Simons.

On Oct. 17, Delaney Unger, 13, from Selden was on hand for the ribbon cutting. An osteosarcoma survivor, who received a unique amputation called rotationplasty in spring 2017, was a patient at Stony Brook Children’s.

“I must say, I am a little jealous of the new beautiful Stony Brook Children’s Hospital,” Delaney said. “I can attest that not only will the children who stay here get the best possible care, but they will also do so in a fantastic new facility designed with them in mind.”

Before the official opening, the hospital invites the local community to see the new building Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Preregistration is preferred at www. stonybrookchildrens.org/openhouse.

Cops Arrest Woman in Fatal Wading River Car Crash Police said woman gave false name at crash site

A Suffolk County Legislature public info session about the upcoming budget is held Oct. 17. File photo

Police arrested the driver allegedly involved in a fatal motor vehicle crash in Wading River Oct. 14 that killed a 90-year-old woman; the driver allegedly provided a false name to officers.

Following an investigation, Suffolk County detectives determined that Tara Demauro was the driver of the Jeep that struck a Nissan on

Route 25A. Following the crash, Demauro provided officers with the name of her relative, Meghan Cunningham of Rocky Point, who was not involved.

Demauro, 48, of Rocky Point, was charged with criminal impersonation second degree, making a punishable false written statement and driving with a suspended license. She was released on a desk appearance ticket and is due to appear at the 1st District Court in Central Islip in December.

No attorney information for Demauro was available as of press time.

Suffolk Conducts First Public Budget Meeting for 2019-20 Coram Man Killed in Mount

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County residents got a glimpse of the county’s budget process as the operating budget working group held its first public meeting Oct. 17 when the 2019-20 recommended operating budget was discussed.

The county operating budget funds employee payroll costs, county departments and a variety of other expenditures. The status of the budget has been in the spotlight since the New York State comptroller, Tom DiNapoli (D), said Suffolk was under “significant fiscal stress” — with Nassau — for the second year in a row. In 2018, Suffolk had an operating deficit of about $26.5 million and a general fund balance deficit of $285 million.

The topic has been an important issue in the county executive race. The current incumbent, Steve Bellone (D), has stated that during his tenure he has worked to bring the county spending and finances back in check.

John Kennedy Jr., the county comptroller and Republican challenger for executive, has stated that the county is in a “fiscal crisis.”

Here is what legislators discussed at the meeting. The proposed operating budget for 2019-20 will be $3.2 billion, an increase from last year’s $3.1 billion budget.

The recommended budget would look to increase property taxes by $14.66 million (2.14 percent), according to the report. The increase is comprised of a rise in police district property taxes of $16.56 million (2.8 percent).

The police district will face an $11.3 million deficit by the end of 2019. It is the fourth year in a row that the district will have a deficit.

Overtime for the police department in 2019 is estimated at $30.9 million.

In addition, the county’s general fund, despite seeing an increase of $318 million in revenue from 2015 to 2019, is projected to experience its fifth consecutive deficit in 2019. Combined with the police district, the county may face an operating deficit of some $20 million.

Sales tax revenue is projected to increase an additional $48.5 million from 2019-20 or about 4.5 percent.

Another area of concern is the county payroll. It has increased by $315 million in the last seven years, despite the workforce being reduced by 1,250 positions. From the start of 2019 through Sept. 8, the number of active county employees on the payroll declined by approximately 150, according to the report.

The recommended expenditures for employee health care in 2020 is projected to increase by approximately by $22.2 million.

The Budget Review Office also raised concerns in the report that property taxes in the Southwest Sewer District, which covers parts of Babylon and Islip, would decrease by $2.14 million. This could lead to less funds available for sewer projects and potentially increase borrowing.

In terms of other revenue, the county is projected to see an increase in funds from video lottery terminals at Jake’s 58 Casino Hotel in Islandia. The revenue brought in will increase to $25 million in 2020 compared to $2.9 million in 2018 and $3.3 million in 2019.

For homeowners, the proposed county property tax will yield an estimated average tax bill of $1,207, an increase of $25. Average taxes per homeowners will increase by $32 in five western towns, including Brookhaven, Smithtown and Huntington, and decrease by $2 in the county’s five eastern towns.

Education

Three Village School District Makes the Grade

BY ANDREA PALDY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The recent Three Village school board meeting included a presentation of the district’s report card and the continued discussion of school start time, a topic initiated by a parent group.

Utilizing statistics from the 2019 state standardized tests, Regents exams and Ward Melville’s graduating class, Kevin Scanlon, assistant superintendent for educational services, was able to give the board a detailed snapshot of the district.

Enrollment continued to decline in 2018-19, dropping from 6,131 in the previous year to 5,812.

However, Scanlon said, with prekindergarten enrollment, numbers stabilized this fall.

Three Village students excelled on the Regents exams with pass rates between 91 and 95 percent on English and social studies exams, and with 67 to 84 percent of students receiving mastery level scores in the various humanities. Math results included a 92 percent pass rate for algebra, 95 percent pass rate for geometry and 99 percent pass rate for algebra 2. Between 46 and 50 percent of students received scores of mastery, Scanlon reported.

The district’s students led the state in scores for physics and chemistry with 94 and 96 percent pass rates, respectively, he said.

Ninety-three percent of students passed the earth science exam and 94 percent passed the

living environment Regents. Mastery scores ranged from 46 to 68 percent.

Of the 544 students in last spring’s graduating class, 311 were Advanced Placement scholars, the largest number in 20 years, the assistant superintendent said. Additionally, the senior class, which had 100 fewer students than the previous year, had a 97 percent graduation rate and 95 percent college acceptance rate for both four-year and two-year colleges.

The New York State assessments for students in grades 3 through 8 showed that the district’s opt-out rate dropped from 65 to 64 percent for the English Language Arts tests and from 67 to 65 percent for math.

Scanlon said that Three Village student rates of passing far exceeded those of Nassau, Suffolk and New York State for each grade in the subjects tested. District students outperformed students in nearby districts — Commack, Half Hollow Hills, Harborfields, Hauppauge, Northport, Port Jefferson and Smithtown— on the ELA and ranked first in all grades except for grades 3 and 4, where they ranked second.

The math scores followed a similar pattern in which district students ranked first in all grades, except for third grade, where they ranked second, and eighth grade, where they ranked fifth. Scanlon said the latter was because a majority of the district’s eighthgraders take the algebra Regents exam instead of the math assessment.

As a final metric, the district’s independent auditor, Thomas Smith of the EFPR Group, said that the school district is “way below the debt limit set by the state” and is “very financially healthy.”

It’s about time

With passage of a California law prohibiting public high schools from starting before 8:30 a.m. and middle schools before 8 a.m., Three Village parents thanked the district’s administrators for taking time to consider their request but continued to lobby for similar change.

Joining the ranks of speakers on behalf of later school start times were Dr. Philip Schrank, a Three Village district physician and chief medical officer for concussion management, and David McKinnon, a professor of neurobiology at Stony Brook University. Both gave biological reasons for the need for change.

“Eight years ago, I stood in front of this tremendous board, and you guys had the courage and the vision to be the first district in Suffolk County to implement a concussion management program,” Schrank said. “You made our kids safer and healthier. I would ask you to have the same courage and vision to be leaders on this issue, which dramatically affects all of the kids in this district.”

Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich, who met with the leaders of Its About Time: Three

Village Parents for a Later School Start Time to discuss the issue, said the district is exploring the impacts and costs of a time shift. The findings will be presented to the board in December.

Dignity for All Students Act

Triggered by an incident at Arrowhead Elementary School, three parents attended last week’s meeting to discuss the Dignity for All Students Act, also known as DASA, particularly pertaining to early grades.

Heather Cohen, Shari Glazer and Cindy Morris asked that elementary school principals and teachers have age-appropriate resources for students and their families. They also want a protocol for DASA forms for students or parents to complete to allow “hate crimes” to be tracked and monitored over time. The parents also requested that when an incident occurred at school that all parents be notified.

During an interview, Pedisich said there’s “a definite protocol for DASA” and the handling of complaints. Additionally, she said, each school has DASA coordinators — the principal and a social worker — and district procedures are outlined on its website.

The superintendent said that though the specific case had been closed at the school level, it had now been reopened at the district level because of additional concerns brought to the administration.

Breakdown of Stony Brook Children’s Hospital Levels

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Stony Brook Children’s Hospital will take up floors 4 through 7 of the new Medical and Research Translation Building, while some of the services will stay within the main Stony Brook Hospital, according to a press release from Stony Brook Medicine.

Local Musician’s Exhibit To Launch at The Jazz Loft

BY LEAH CHIAPPINO LCHIAPPINO@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Setauket resident and jazz musician, Ray Anderson, is celebrating a career that has been nothing but noteworthy. And at a performance at The Jazz Loft in Stony Brook Oct. 25, music lovers will get a taste of his talent and be able to witness the launch of his archives there.

The trombonist, 67, first picked up his instrument at the age of 8, after having been inspired partly by his theologian father’s jazz records that predominantly featured the famous trumpet player, Louis Armstrong. The sound of Anderson’s chosen instrument was something that he found appealing, especially since, he said, the musicians playing trombone sounded like they were having fun.

He studied music at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools with future trombone legends such as George Lewis and was taught by Frank Tirro, the future dean of the Yale School of Music.

Anderson attended three different universities, three different times, before eventually receiving a bachelor’s degree from Empire State College in Saratoga Springs in 2010.

“I’m self-educated in a lot of ways,” he said.

“Performing became my education.”

He moved to Los Angeles in 1971 to attend the California Institute of the Arts, only to find the campus was not yet open. He wound up living with Stanley Crouch, a black writer and jazz critic, frequently known for

his controversial views amongst the African American community on his disillusionment with the Black Power movement.

While attending college in Minnesota and Los Angeles, he played in R&B bands and joined funk and Latin bands while living in San Francisco. While Anderson looks back with great fondness on his days where he became “moderately successful” working odd jobs and playing music in San Francisco, he said he felt the urge to discover the New York music scene, so he moved to Manhattan in 1973.

“I was 20 years old and had no real roots anywhere,” he said. “I figured I would move to New York and see what happened.”

He performed with clarinetist and saxophonist Jimmy Giuffre and drummer Barry Altschul while playing with composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton’s quartet for three years. He has since performed in a variety of his own bands, such as the Pocket Brass Band and Lapis Lazuli band.

Anderson recently returned from a European tour with BassDrumBone, a band named after its bass, drums, trombone players. He started the group in 1977 with his friends bassist Mark Helias and drummer Gerry Hemingway. It has been running ever since.

“I’ve learned so much from both of them,” he said. “They’re my age so it’s not a traditional teacher-student type of thing, but they’re both really, really wise.”

His first feature album was blues guitarist Luther Allison’s “Night Life,” before recording for Gramavision, as well as European record label Enja and others.

“I didn’t have a career where I worked as a member of a more established senior band, so I learned a lot from my contemporaries,” he said.

Anderson said he recently recorded a solo trombone piece based off of a solo performance he did in France and is currently in the process of sending it to record companies.

“That’s been a longtime dream,” he said.

Anderson describes his style as “witty” and “challenging,” and he acknowledges and respects the players who have come before him Yet, having composed more than 100 pieces, Anderson has learned to take a lighthearted approach to music with songs titled “If I Ever Had a Home It Was a Slide Trombone,” and “Ravena-Ning,” the latter piece being composed for his son, Raven, and a play on the classic “Rhythm-aNing” by Thelonious Monk.

While his calm and joyous approach to life is evident in conversation, he had to overcome tragedy when his wife, lyricist and poet, Jackie Raven, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999 and passed away in 2002.

“I had two young motherless kids and my life as a touring musician had to stop,” he said.

Anderson was the artist in residence at Stony Brook University for six months in 2001, and in

Ray Anderson performing earlier in his career, above, and the trombonist today, below. Photo above by Ssirus Pakzad; below photo by Erika Kapin

2003 was appointed director of jazz studies, a title he has held ever since.

“It enabled me to stay home, pay the bills and care for my kids who were 11 and 15 when she died,” he said. “I’m sure you can appreciate why I’m boundlessly grateful to this community for all it has given me over these many years.”

Anderson reports that both his kids are doing well and he got remarried last year, to Suzy Goodspeed.

The musician said his many years as a fulltime performer make him the perfect candidate to mentor emerging musicians.

“I’m a performer first and teacher second,” he said. “I know what music feels like when you’re actually doing it.”

Anderson said his life as a performer doesn’t dismay his love for teaching.

“It’s so rewarding to be able to pass something on that’s useful,” he said. “It’s really tied in with the whole idea of trying to pay it forward because so many people gave me so much [mentorship].”

All of the courses he teaches revolve around performing. In the graduate program, he plays with students in a band and requires them to write

their own music.

“We go through the process of editing and revising, and trying to find out what works and what doesn’t,” he said.

Tom Manuel, The Jazz Loft’s president and founder, praised Anderson’s impact in the jazz field.

“I think what makes Ray so important to jazz is not just that he’s amazingly talented in the world of jazz, but he has been recognized as one of those incredibly and creative inventive voices that is creating something that is new, which is hard to do,” he said.

Anderson will be performing at The Jazz Loft, where he serves as vice president, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. with his Pocket Brass Band, consisting of just trumpet, trombone, sousaphone and drums.

“I’ve played a lot of big gigs, and it’s really exciting to be in an audience of thousands of people, but playing in a small place like The Jazz Loft is often better because of the intimacy between the audience and the band,” he said.

Friday’s performance will be preceded by the launch of the Ray Anderson Archives exhibit with a reception at the venue at 6 p.m.

Patriots lose to Marauders

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Bay Shore Marauders field hockey team’s defense pressured the Patriots from the opening play, shutting down the otherwise potent Ward Melville offense, 1-0, Oct. 17.

Ward Melville’s Isabella Ospitale made four saves on the day at the home game.

The Patriots drop to 10-4 sliding into fifth place in Division I squandering a first-round

bye and instead hosted Comsewogue, the 12 seed, at home Oct. 23. Results were not available at press time.

Pictured clockwise from above, Amanda Lee, 11, dishes the ball off to Isabella Paglia; Ospitale with a kick save for the Patriots; Ward Melville’s Arielle Rohan drives between two Bay Shore defenders; Paglia air dribbles up-field for the Patriots; Kristin Quinn pushes up for the Patriots; and a loose ball in front of the Patriot cage.

Opinion

Letters to the Editor

Call for Bipartisanship Vote for Kennedy for County Executive The House representative for New York’s 1st Congressional District, a Republican, has come out against the U.S. president on foreign policy. We here at TBR News Media think it’s time for more of us to look at such national decisions in a bipartisan way.

On Oct. 13, President Donald Trump (R) stunned the world and ordered the abrupt removal of American troops out of Kurdish territory in Northern Syria along the Turkish border.

The unusual policy shift has been characterized by foreign policy experts and representatives from both the Republican and Democratic parties as a gravely flawed decision that harms U.S. national security interests.

Trump’s military decision should mark a turning point. The issues of today should no longer pivot on party affiliation. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, the matter affects the whole of the U.S. national security and the whole fabric of America.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) represents Suffolk County residents in New York’s 1st Congressional District. He sits on the House Foreign Affairs and Financial Services committees.

We’ve asked him to tell us when he learned about Trump’s decision to remove troops from the Turkish border, a question he did not answer. However, he did provide his insights into the situation.

“The Kurds have fought, bled and died fighting alongside the U.S.,” Zeldin said. “They have been warriors and brothers in battle along the way The president is right to want to end endless war, but the Turks wiping out the Kurds will absolutely not be an acceptable outcome after all of that.”

Instead of responding to questions, Zeldin’s office wanted us to know that the congressman, who has tended to support the president, signed a joint piece of legislation that flatly denounces Trump’s decision, namely H.J. Res. 77 (116th Congress).

The resolution stated, among other things: “An abrupt withdrawal of United States military personnel from certain parts of Northeast Syria is beneficial to adversaries of the United States government, including Syria, Iran and Russia.”

The damage is done, and both experts and federal representatives said the U.S. strategic presence in the region has been severely neutered. Russian President Vladamir Putin’s troops now occupy the region. Jihadists have broken from prisons, reversing many of the West’s original hard-fought gains against ISIS and terrorism.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman called the situation “just devastating.”

These are elected officials we are talking about. If a local official, such in the case of former Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, or former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke, abused the power of their office, then one should want them investigated.

That should be no different for a sitting president, Republican or Democrat. No elected official is “your guy.”

Even if you vote for a person, you should never blindly accept every decision they make.

As the impeachment proceedings move forward and as more details are made public, scrutinize the behavior, comments and motives of the president with keen concern. Distinguish between propaganda and truth.

It’s time to join hands and unite with your neighbors or your relatives, whatever party they belong to.

Letters … We welcome your letters. They should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste. We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation. Email letters to rita@tbrnewsmedia.com or mail them to The Village Times Herald, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733.

I have been privileged as a Hauppauge community leader to work with John M. Kennedy Jr. (R) for the past 15 years when he was a Suffolk County legislator, then Suffolk County minority leader and now Suffolk County comptroller on a multitude of community issues to make the county a better place to live and work.

Kennedy is a man of leadership, integrity, experience, dedication and heart for the people, serving Suffolk County for over 25 years, including as the official examiner of the title for the Suffolk County clerk’s office.

In addition to his years of public service, Kennedy is a man of knowledge with his bachelor’s from Stony Brook University, master’s in business administration from Adelphi University and juris doctor from St. John’s University School of Law. Kennedy works diligently and consistently throughout Suffolk County, daily fighting for the people of Suffolk County, if it is against LIPA to pay its fair share of taxes and pass the tax savings down to the local municipalities and personal taxpayers, saving taxpayers rate reductions from public utility companies or recovering the appropriate hotel/motel

tax, again taking the burden away from personal taxpayers.

Kennedy has the good reputation of being the county’s watchdog, unlike our existing Suffolk County executive.

Steve Bellone (D) says that taxes have not increased, he is clearly mistaken.

He has raised taxes every year since he has been in office: Created alarm fees, additional car registration fees, park fees, mortgage fees, cremation fees, tax map fees and red-light camera fees. He has also used $171.3 million from the sewer fund to make payroll, borrowed $385 million from the pension fund and has had millions of dollars in lawsuits for mismanagement.

Per New York State comptroller, Thomas DiNapoli (D), Suffolk County has the most severe significant financial stress two years in a row with over $883 million in debt over the past decade, and there has been a spiral of bond rating downgrades.

And then Bellone adds a Protect the Taxpayer ballot line for this election?

On the other hand, Kennedy fights for the people of Suffolk County by finding fraud and collecting unpaid sales taxes, property taxes and hotel/motel taxes to

add to the bottom line and truly protects the taxpayer.

I would also like to mention the Bellone campaign accusations: 1. Bellone indicates that Kennedy has a county car. Yes, the car is a 2007 Ford Explorer with 120,000 miles mostly used to commute back and forth from Hauppauge to Riverhead.

2. Bellone indicates that Kennedy’s wife, Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset), has a patronage job. She is the Suffolk County legislator for the 12th District voted in office by her constituents.

3. Bellone indicates that Kennedy has received salary raises. Cost of living adjustments are determined by Suffolk County government, not Kennedy.

However, Bellone has hired a good number of senior-level commissioners at taxpayer expense.

John M. Kennedy Jr. is a man of leadership, results and for the people of Suffolk County and his record proves it.

Please vote for John Kennedy for our next Suffolk County executive.

Suffolk’s Fiscal Stress Mess It’s very surprising that an extremely troubling report from New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli regarding Suffolk County’s frightening fiscal state, released at the beginning of this month, has gotten scant local attention.

A headline announcing we’ve been designated the “most fiscally stressed county in the state,” two years running might have gotten residents’ attention.

They may have been tempted to ask how Suffolk is in “significant fiscal stress” when they’ve been paying so much of

their hard-earned money in taxes and fees? DiNapoli flunked us after studying our year-end-balance, cash on hand, shortterm borrowing, fixed costs, patterns of operating deficits and factors such as poverty and unemployment.

We’ve also been hit with seven bond downgrades in the last seven years.

Think of that as having dramatically supplemented a big spender’s income, only to learn their FICO score went from a 750 to below 500.

What’s crucial to note, given the

current partisan political climate, Democrat DiNapoli’s straight-forward, by-the-numbers exposure of Suffolk County’s money woes was not influenced by his party affiliation. DiNapoli gave an honest accounting of a county governed by a majority of Democratic legislators, led by Democrat Steve Bellone, and let the chips fall where they may.

A word of “thanks” to Comptroller DiNapoli.

Collection for Veterans Our office would like to invite residents to join us in supporting the joint clothing drive that American Legion Post 833 Smithtown and Smithtown VFW Post 10870 are currently coordinating. The drive, which is in cooperation with AARP volunteers and United Veterans Beacon House of Bay Shore, will help provide supplies to veterans in our region. The organizations are asking members of our

community to donate new and/or gently used clothing and bedding. All items collected will be provided to homeless veterans currently residing in the UV Beacon House shelters and facilities.

Items can be donated at a collection bin at the American Legion Post at 51 Juniper Ave., Smithtown. Additionally, to help make it more convenient for residents to donate, our office is serving as a drop-off location.

Any resident who would like to donate items for the veterans can visit our office, which is located at 260 Middle Country Road, Smithtown, during normal business hours.

The drive is continuing through October, and we hope that everyone who is able to help will join this important effort.

Caring for America’s Heroes

Opinion

Exempting the state veterans nursing homes from budget cuts would be a meaningful way for New Yorkers to say ‘thank you for your service.’

When the LISVH first opened, he again served his fellow veterans for many years as a volunteer. He visited the nursing home almost every day because it was his way of supporting his “band of brothers and sisters.”

When my Dad fractured his hip at age 83, many doctors at the hospital thought he would never walk again.

It took a year of rehabilitation with the skilled and compassionate staff at the veterans home, but my Dad walked out of the nursing home and

spent the last year of his life with my mother in their own home.

In the 74 years since the end of World War II, military men and women have been on the front line of battles in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and many other locations around the world. Sadly, the physical, emotional and psychological wounds never heal for many of the warriors who fulfill their oath to protect America. I learned that firsthand more than 20 years ago when my father had emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix.

I visited him the morning after his operation.

He was laying his bed shivering and shaking uncontrollably. He whispered he had the worst nightmare ever. He was back in a foxhole in the Philippines, guns were blasting and bombs were dropping all around him. Then he looked at his fellow combat veteran in the bed next to him and said, “Sal got me through it. Thank God he was here for me.”

Today we might say that my father had post-traumatic stress disorder or a flashback.

But whatever you call it, his fellow veteran pulled him through just like the veterans do for

ew York State government should not cut funding for America’s heroes residing at the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University. The veterans home has, and does, provide first-class health services for veterans and their spouses who receive rehabilitation and long-term care in their time of need.

Providing topnotch nursing home care for our veterans, many of whom put their own lives on the line to keep us safe, is a patriotic action that truly expresses “thank you for your service.”

At the age of 17 my father, Hugh “Joe” Cassidy, enlisted in the United States Coast Guard to serve his country during World War II. Before he reached his 19th birthday he participated in five shore invasions with the Marines and Army as frogman.

He was frequently shot at while he stood on coral reefs in the Philippine Islands acting as a human buoy to help keep the landing boats from crashing into reefs and sinking. He was almost thrown overboard when his ship, the

USS Cavalier, was torpedoed in the still of a Pacific Ocean night. But my Dad always said he was not a hero. His heroes were all the soldiers and sailors who put their lives in harm’s way, were wounded or died in battle.

New York State is facing a budget crunch, that much is true. But exempting the state veterans’ nursing homes from the budget cuts would be a meaningful way for New Yorkers to say “thank you for your service.”

A Review of the Yankee Lessons from the ALCS

L

ooking back at the six-game American League Championship Series, it’s clear that the Houston Astros were the better team. Tough as it is to write that when my fan allegiance is with the Yankees, the Astros had more clutch hitting, better defense, and better starting and relief pitching.

Yes, the two teams were fairly evenly matched when it came to runs scored. The Yankees covered up many of their sins — and D. None deficiencies — with a few timely of the above long balls and some

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF standout pitching performances from Masahiro Tanaka and James Paxton.

While hindsight is always perfect, because we know who failed and who succeeded, I want to ask an obvious question. Why was our designated hitter doing little more than striking out? It’s clear that our enigmatic catcher Gary Sánchez, who has a talent for crushing balls deep into the night, seems to disappear at big moments.

And, while we’re playing the hindsight game, it seems obvious that closer Aroldis Chapman, who has lost a few miles per hour on his fastball and now relies on an effective slider, should have avoided pitching to José Altuve with two outs, a runner on first and a defensive replacement on deck for Houston.

So, one at a time. Edwin Encarnación was a compelling pickup from Seattle Mariners during the season, offering a few moments of ball-bashing power. Perhaps because of injury, or maybe because he was trying to hit a defining titanic home run, he couldn’t do much of anything in the postseason. The same seems true for the multimillion dollar Giancarlo Stanton.

Given that both can hit huge home runs and are capable of changing the complexion of a low-scoring game, I understand the urge to put them in, but, at some point, if they are not getting it done, why not go with other options?

Sure, Cameron Maybin doesn’t hit as many home runs and isn’t as physically imposing.

If manager Aaron Boone had inserted him into the lineup, would he have taken away the possibility of using Maybin as a late-inning defensive replacement? That’s possible. OK, then, how about using Austin Romine as the designated hitter? Yes, I understand that Boone might also have been saving him to give Sánchez a break in a game where defense takes precedence.

If either of them had become an unconventional designated hitter, would fans be screaming about the panic move if they had failed? Yes, of course, they would. But at least Boone would have been trying something — anything — when he seemed wedded to a script that wasn’t working in a short series.

The same thing holds true for Adam Ottavino.

The guy was a great pitcher during the season, but he ran into the postseason twilight zone. It happens. Sit him down and don’t let him affect the outcome of games.

As for Sánchez, he may have hit batting practice pitches into the next county, but that’s irrelevant. He wasn’t getting it done at or behind the plate. Maybe even a single day off would have changed his approach and would have helped. In a short series, managers can’t wait to see if something that’s not working turns around. The team — and its desperate fans — don’t have the luxury of that kind of time.

The question for next year isn’t whether the Yankees will get a starting pitcher who can throw more innings than the present incumbents, or whether Stanton will make a meaningful postseason contribution. The question is: Will Boone buy into the idea of a team game and give other players a chance? After all, the last time the Yankees won the World Series was a decade ago, in 2009.
