The Town claims the landfill has nothing to do with air quality issues at Frank P. Long Intermediate School. - photo by Barbara LaMonica

By Barbara LaMonica The South Country School Board has scheduled a special public meeting for August 16th at Bellport Middle School, where final test results of all air and soil testing particulates relating to the Brookhaven Town Landfill and concerns that may be affecting the health of an estimated 700 students, as well as staff attending the Frank P. Long Intermediate School will be unveiled. The public portion of the meeting is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m.

The school district has been facing mounting pressure from parents and school personnel over decades, and more recently during the last three years, to close the school after concerns over whether reports of increasing illnesses and deaths may be allegedly linked to potential carcinogens and odors emanating from the 300 foot high mound, 192 acre Brookhaven Town Landfill. Frank P. Long

Intermediate School is located about 1.7 miles southeast of the landfill, two miles southeast of the Long Island Compost Great Gardens Compost and about one half mile north of one asphalt plant and approximately one half mile west of another.

South Country School Board President Cheryl Felice said in an interview this week that the Board of Education is “actively considering all options to protect students, teachers, staff and administrators, because their health and safety are our number one priority.” Felice said once the Board evaluates environmental testing and hears recommendations of the experts at the August 16th meeting, the Board will subsequently base its decision on what is best for the health and safety of those attending the school as well as consider short and long term goals.

Question:

My mother is in a nursing home and she has a “non-hospital DNR.” What is that and how does it differ from a traditional DNR?

Answer:

The “Do Not Resuscitate” order, or “DNR” came about from a task force commenced by Governor Mario Cuomo in 1985 wherein experts were tasked with reconciling outstanding issues with legally withholding life sustaining treatment. The result was the traditional DNR order which applied to patients in an institution such as hospitals, nursing homes and mental health facilities.

Unlike a Living Will which is a general statement of wishes that a person would not want life sustaining treatment administered if there were no hope they would make a meaningful recovery, DNRs are directives which only apply to incidents of cardiac respiratory arrest and prevent the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The DNR order must be signed by a physician on the Department of Health form and recorded in the patient’s medical record. It can be signed by the patient herself, or if she lacks mental capacity, the DNR can be signed by a family member or health care agent. The DNR order must be reviewed periodically by a physician. This means they should be revisited every seven days for hospital patients and at each visit for outpatients, but at least every 60 days for nursing home residents.

Due to the fact that the traditional

DNR can only be used in an institutional setting, in 1991 the legislature expanded the Public Health Law to include a nonhospital DNR order. This would cover the prevention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in emergency situations outside of a facility. The non-hospital DNR would be utilized for emergency services personnel, including first responders and emergency medical technicians, when the patient is at home or in another community setting. While EMS workers are legally obligated to honor the non-hospital DNR, they may still administer CPR if 1.) they reasonably believe in good faith that the consent is not valid and 2.) if family members or others at the scene object to the order and physical confrontation appears likely.

Doctors in the emergency room of a hospital have more discretion in that they can refuse to honor a non-hospital DNR for the same reasons as EMS personnel and if other significant and exceptional medical circumstances warrant doing so.

Non-hospital DNR orders must be treated as any other DNR order if the patient is admitted to a hospital. It will remain effective in the hospital until the order is revoked or a doctor cancels the order. Like a traditional DNR, a nonhospital DNR must be in writing on the standard form from the Department of Health. The form must be reviewed by a physician at each visit, or at least every 90 days, but review need not occur more than once every seven days.

The Democratic AG’s refusal to abide by federal immigration laws was smacked down by the Supreme Court, as will be their sanctimonious attempts to deny a federal panel seeking information that the petitioners can easily obtain via a simple freedom of information form.

Any candidate or political operative will tell you that one of the first acts in a campaign is to single out “targeted” or “prime” voters who vote in every election, in order to concentrate spending on those you know will show up at the polls. How do we get that information? By simply calling the Board of Elections. The board cannot refuse the request.

The President’s panel is seeking the information to determine if there is a significant amount of voter fraud in our system. The issue was muddied by the President himself who made a foolish and unsubstantiated claim that millions of illegal aliens voted in 2016. The media and the left jumped on the assertion, first debunking the

claim itself, but also claiming that voter fraud is so insignificant as to not be worthy of an investigation.

Regarding the former, they are correct;, but on the latter, they are dangerously wrong.

There doesn’t have to be millions of voter fraud cases to establish fraud as a major concern. Tell the candidate who lost by five votes that the ten contested votes casted in that race were insignificant.

The fact is that there are a large number of razor thin victories in US elections in any year. In the town of Brookhaven, New York (which has a population of 475,000), Councilwoman Connie Kepert lost her election by four votes. The congressman from that area was elected only after a recount and the absentee ballots were opened. President George W. Bush became the 43rd president only after recounts found he had won the state of Florida by a mere 500 votes. In 2010, comedian Al Franken became the United States senator from Minnesota by a slim 312 vote margin. There were at least 340 contested votes in that race.

The fact is, voter fraud does occur. It’s not widespread, but it’s enough that it can change the nature of elections - and that alone is a reason for scrutiny.

Today, you can register to vote in many states without showing any proof of citizenship. Aliens, both legal and illegal, have been known to vote on numerous occasions, as have some felons. Some had nefarious intent; others didn’t know what they were doing was wrong. Either way, their votes shouldn’t be counted.

So why would anyone be opposed to ensuring that only those eligible to vote, actually cast a vote? The answer lies in the incendiary nature of partisan, identity politics.

legal ride-sharing “will help produce $121 million in additional spending by passengers in our local economy, $57 million in earnings in wages and tips, and $34 million in estimated value of time saved”.

Ride-sharing also makes our roads safer.

A Temple University study showed that cities with Uber had vehicular homicide rates drop between 3.6 and 5.6% once they adopted the ride-sharing service - likely due to a decrease in drunk driving.

This evidence reflects common sense: If you know you can use a reliable ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft to get home safely at an affordable price, you’re less likely to make a dangerous choice that could ultimately cost someone their life.

County Legislators should listen to the 85 percent of Long Islanders who support ride-sharing, and stop

attempting to thwart its progress. The benefits are abundant, the competition is healthy and the time is now.

Sincerely, Anthony Powell President, Brookhaven Next

of building or joining a community of likeminded individuals in pursuit of a healthy, active lifestyle is based in science. A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people who regularly walk in groups have lower blood pressure, resting heart rate and total cholesterol. The exercise also leads to a reduction in body fat and Body Mass Index (BMI). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) agrees. Regular physical activity, it points out, can reduce the burden of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers, and can prevent early death.

Physical activity can also help people with chronic diseases manage their conditions.

Any amount of physical activity is beneďŹ cial, the CDC added. Ideally, though, adults should do at least 2½ hours of moderate-intensity physical activity (such as walking), 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, or a combination each week.

To achieve that, the CDC suggests you start a walking group with friends and neighbors. More than 145 million adults now include walking as part of a physically active lifestyle.

With the health beneďŹ ts of exercise in mind, some Herbalife independent distributors have opened nutrition clubs where they provide a supportive environment for people interested in leading healthy, active lifestyles. People gather to share exercise tips and consume science-based wellness products developed

by Herbalife Nutrition under the guidance of more than 300 scientists, 36 of them Ph.D.s. -(NAPSI)

From humble beginnings in a church basement to our modern state-of-the-art studio, through its 42 year history, Stage Door School of Dance has become the premier dance studio on Long Island. SDSD was established by Diane and James Giattino as a family focused studio in 1976, built on a passion for theater and dance. Today, their daughter Mary Giattino-Styles draws from that same passion to provide a dance education that is truly unique. Our studio focuses on the individuality of our dancers; fully devoted to providing a supportive atmosphere for all dancers whether they are on our competition team or our recreational program.

SDSD offers classes for people of ALL ages, ALL skill levels, and ALL commitment levels. Our Fall Schedule offers 115+ classes, ages ranging from 18 months through adults, Boys and Girls, beginners to advanced dancers ALL can find their perfect class in our ’17-’18 schedule! We offer classes in every genre imaginable including: Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern, Ballet, Lyrical, Acro and Musical Theatre! Younger dancers can enjoy our Parent & Me (18-29 months), Broadway Babies (2.5 years+), Twinkle Tots (3 years+), and Shining Stars (4 years+), where they learn creative movement, improve social skills, and begin to grow as not only a dancer but as an individual through the fundamentals of ballet, tap, and jazz. Our revolutionary DanceAbility program enables dancers with special needs to join in on the fun! Each dancer is paired with a dance “shadow” to guide them during class. Stage Door’s Dance Companies are award-winning! These talented, auditioned groups of students are paired with equally challenging and rewarding classes, often featuring guest instructors from Broadway and world-renowned professional dance companies.

such as law enforcement shadow boxes.

As a law enforcement officer himself, Sumwalt enjoys producing these custom products.

“Having worn the badge, I believe I know what kind of award people would like to receive and what it means to them,” said Sumwalt. “One thing that’s great about this job is people always like to receive awards. That smile that is brought to a person’s face when they receive that recognition, I have some small part of that.”

“We really strive to provide the best product at the lowest cost,” said Sumwalt.

Stage Door Dancers have been inspiring the local dance/theater community for years!

Our dancers can be seen regularly performing at theaters such as John W. Engeman Theatre of Northport and at The Gateway Playhouse of Bellport/Patchogue. SDSD Students have performed on Broadway in shows such as Matilda, Kinky Boots, Les Miserables, and Sound of Music.

Owner, Mary Giattino-Styles as a Stage Door alumni herself began her career right here in Bellport/Patchogue. Mary has incredible credentials as a choreographer and dancer, including the Radio City Rockettes and the Broadway productions of 42nd St., Billy Elliot, White Christmas, Fun Home, Dear Evan Hansen and more! All of the faculty at SDSD teach with a true passion for dance and education - and it definitely shows! Stage Door teachers regularly perform professionally, judge competitions, and continue to improve on their own incredible talents in NYC. Our state of the art studio has three huge dance rooms, each with specially-designed sprung flooring to protect your dancer from injury. With an unlimited parking and an oversized waiting area with three 40” TV’s for parents to view their child’s classes, Stage Door has created the ultimate, safe dance space.

Each school year ends with our jaw dropping, spectacular recital performances at the Stony Brook University Staller Center for the Arts. Professional lighting, sound, curated costumes, and a gorgeous location make this an event you and your dancer will remember for years to come! Your dancer will shine and show off all their hard work and new moves along with their classmates - all while having a great time!

For 42 years, Stage Door School of Dance has built a legacy in the greater Patchogue community and we would be honored to have you join our family!

toe shoes are designed for smooth/standard dances, such as Foxtrot and Waltz, as these dances require a more traditional classic look. Unless you are focusing on a particular dance style, beginning dancers can pretty much choose any style you’d like. Though, when you first learn to dance, it’s almost inevitable to get stepped on once in a while, so you may consider getting closed toe shoes as they provide some protection for your pedicured toes.

3. HEEL HEIGHTS The heel height for Latin and ballroom dance shoes ranges from 1.5” to 3”. For beginning dancers, you should choose a heel height that gives you the most comfort. If you are not accustomed to wearing heels, you may want to start with shoes that have a lower heel to start with. Also, there are different shapes of heel, such as slim and flared.

A flared heel is a popular choice as it gives you more stability. For men’s dance shoes, a 1” heel is designed for ballroom dance styles while a 1.5” Cuban heel is designed

for Latin dance styles. Unless you are participating in dance competitions, a 1” heel is generally sufficient for both ballroom and Latin dancing.

4. SUEDE SOLE SHOES It is recommended to have a suede sole for your dance shoes. The suede sole gives you the right amount of slip and traction so that you can feel more balanced and have more control when turning and moving around the dance floor. Every once in a while, you need to brush the suede sole with a wire dance shoe brush to maintain its roughness.

5. BUYING DANCE SHOES ONLINE VS. IN STORE Whether you order shoes online or purchase them in a store, first go to a dance supply store to try on some shoes. Since sizing can vary from brand to brand, it is best to try and compare various brands, sizes and models to ensure you find the right fit.
