Officials Break Ground for New Mastic Beach Ambulance Headquarters

MB Ambulance Groundbreaking Historical Society Dedicates Museum and Honors Weber’s Suffolk County Legislator Tom Muratore once again spent a busy weekend attending community events in his district. Legislator Muratore, Brookhaven Town Clerk Donna Lent and Councilman Kevin LaValle attended the Farmingville Flea Market, sponsored by the Farmingville Residents Association.

The officials also participated in the Ronkonkoma Historical Society’s Museum dedication, honoring Paul and Sandy Weber on their retirement and the closing of the community’s iconic Agnew and Taylor Hardware store.

“I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a beautiful fall day,” stated Legislator Muratore. “The residents and community leaders love their respective hometowns, as evidenced by the turnout at each event. I am especially appreciative of the opportunity to recognize the Webers as they close a chapter in Ronkonkoma history. Agnew and Taylor Hardware Store’s history dates back to 1899, and it is sad to say goodbye.”

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine, Deputy Supervisor Dan Panico, local elected officials and officers, directors and volunteer members of the Mastic Beach Ambulance Company break ground and announce the construction of a new headquarters for the Mastic Beach Ambulance Company on Neighborhood Road in Mastic Beach.

“The girls are working hard and improving with each match,” said Coach Pia, “We have some tough matches and challenges ahead. We must keep our focus and determination and play one match at a time.”

The Colonials are led by three time AllCounty player senior Brooke Fernandez, as well as junior Hailey Loughlin and sophomore Alyssa Drell. Team members also include seniors Briana Gonzalez, Alivia Cagliano, Delaney Kane, Chloe DeGrauw, Emily Drell, Katie Senetto, Jessica Jones and Paige Lyons; and freshman Saskia DaSilva.

The Colonials have several more regular season matches left including at Hampton Bays, Westhampton, East Hampton/Bridgehampton/Pierson, McGann-Mercy and home against Shoreham-Wading River and Mattituck.

7-Eleven’s Unprecedented Intrusion into Brookhaven Town Dear Editor; Thank you for the article in the 9/20/17 edition of The South Shore Press that shined a light onto the disturbing fact of the wholesale invasion of 7-Eleven convenience stores into our towns and hamlets.

Brookhaven Hamlet is being subjected to the same unnecessary and undesired intrusion into our community that is being suffered by Patchogue, Medford and who knows where else, since a lot of this activity seems to be kept very much under the radar until it is just about too late for area residents to do anything about it. That is what happened to us.

In the above referenced article, a Brookhaven Town councilman is quoted as saying “… we, as a Town Board, take very seriously into consideration what the local civics have to say.”

Huh? In what way, then, might one explain how in the world this looming intrusion, with all its attendant negatives, would be permitted entrance into our historic little community?

Sincerely, Roberta Crater Brookhaven, NY

Thank You Dear Editor; The board of the Moriches Bay Historical Society wants to extend a gracious thank you to all the volunteers and participants in the “Car Show Fund Raiser” on September 10th.

All proceeds went to our “Roof Fund” which is dedicated to replacing the roof on the John Scudder Havens Homestead and the barn next to it. Both are in serious need of repair and the sooner we get it done the better.

Special thanks goes to ALL who brought their really special cars. From Model A’s to Corvettes, Mustangs, Hot Rods and antique vehicles that been beautifully restored and maintained.

The band “Brooklyn Time Machine” entertained the entire day with music from the 50s and 60s. Their generosity in giving their time and talent is greatly appreciated.

Steve’s food truck provided burgers, hot dogs, drinks and snacks for the entire day.

Again, to all the members of the Historical Society, thank you for making this and other events possible through your hard work and dedication to this beautiful landmark.

Thank you, The Board of The Moriches Bay Historical Society

time they do it, there’s always a group that says, ‘Oh, no, you’re making too much’.” Members of the Assembly receive $79,500 a year. “But to live in Nassau and Suffolk as a full-time legislator on $79,500 a year, you can’t do it.”

“So bottom line,” he went on, “if you feel that you have to do something along these lines, take $95,000 instead of $100,000. You’ve made your point. But don’t lay this on 18 members.”

Legislator Rob Trotta of Fort Salonga said, “Under current contracts, the Suffolk County “PBA and all the [county] police unions got a 3.5% raise every year for eight years at a cost of $400 million.” Mr. Trotta, a retired Suffolk Police detective said, “My point is, we are already setting the example by taking either the cost of living or below while they get three times that. I think this is nothing more than an election year ploy. I can live without the money, but I feel for the other legislators here who are supporting families on it.”

Legislator Rob Colarco of Patchogue said: “I do this as a full-time job. I don’t have another job….I have three little ones…I am fortunate enough to be a county legislator in a county where I have a salary that earns enough that I can do this as a full-time job.”

Legislator Sarah Anker of Mount Sinai said that ‘being a single mom with three kids…it’s not easy. But the amount of money we make is substantial.”

Robert Lipp, director of the legislature’s Budget Review Office, reported at the meeting that there would be, based on 1.09% automatic pay increases over the past four years, an annual savings of $25,789 with the proposed freeze.

This Legislature concludes that automatic pay increases for elected officials cannot be justified at a time when the County of Suffolk is facing grave budget challenges.

performed, helping a patient live an active, full life. In many cases, it is not always necessary to perform an oophorectomy, unless the ovaries are diseased or there is a high risk of ovarian cancer. Once a woman is no longer able to or interested in having children, the beneďŹ t of a hysterectomy outweighs the risks of performing other more invasive types of surgery, like a myomectomy, even if it is performed laparoscopically.â&#x20AC;?

Choosing The Best Hysterectomy Technique & Specialist Matters â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surgeons should be trained on powerful techniques that enhance surgical outcomes for their patients,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. MacKoul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always recommend the most minimally invasive procedure that has patient safety at the forefront, and also has stellar results.â&#x20AC;?

A DualPortGYN hysterectomy uses just two tiny 5mm incisions, one at the belly button and one just above the pubic bone.

The procedure averages less than an hour, and patients return home the same day, recovering in a week or less. Compared to other open or robotic procedures performed by general practitioners or OB/ GYNs that require 4-8 weeks for recovery, the DualPortGYN shorter surgery and recovery times offer patients the beneďŹ ts of less anesthesia and faster mobility to minimize the risk of blood clots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any physician recommending hysterectomy needs to be sympathetic to the pervasive fears that women have about the procedure,â&#x20AC;? said Natalya Danilyants, MD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take the time to explain all of the options available, what the terms mean at length, and be able to offer an exceptional procedure that minimizes the recovery for the patient, even if that means referring them to a specialist.â&#x20AC;?(NAPSI)

THE DEATH OF A PET Typically, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst experience with death is when a pet dies. Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a goldďŹ sh, the loss may upset the child who cared for it. A parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instinct may be to lessen the impact by running out to buy another ďŹ sh. But coping with death of a pet helps children prepare for other, harder deaths. Explain that death is ďŹ nal and your child is not to blame. Answer any questions and allow him to express his feelings.

CONFRONTING THE LOSS OF A RELATIVE OR FRIEND When a loved one dies, tell the child about it in direct, honest and unambiguous terms. Say why the person dies: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart wore out.â&#x20AC;? Explain he will not return. Children do not want philosophical explanations so much as reassurance that their parents will be around to care for them and that they will be around to be cared for. If your child asks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going to die?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Am I going to die?â&#x20AC;? you can answer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, but not for a very, very long time.â&#x20AC;? As you talk, use touch as well as words, hugging and caressing your child to help allay the fears of abandonment that he will feel when someone important dies.

HOW CHILDREN PERCEIVE DEATH Your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions will give you clues as to what he is capable of comprehending.

For example, a child under three years old typically perceives death as just another form of separation, and while he needs to be told that the missing person is dead, the ďŹ nality of the event is beyond his imagining. What is meaningful and disturbing to a toddler is the disruption of routine. Everyone seems distracted; grownups cry; meals and nap schedules go by the wayside, and the child cannot get the attention he is used to. All of this threatens his sense of security. The best way to help the toddler is to restore his routines as quickly as possible, in an atmosphere that is consistent, loving and familiar.

Only sometime after the age of six does the average child begin to be able to accept the notion that a particular person is â&#x20AC;&#x153;irreversiblyâ&#x20AC;? dead! For this reason, be careful not to explain death in confusing terms. Do not say Grandma has gone on â&#x20AC;&#x153;a long journey,â&#x20AC;? as the child may likely think Grandma will come back one day. By the same token, do not say that someone has â&#x20AC;&#x153;gone to sleep forever,â&#x20AC;? as your child may become scared of going to sleep.

Suffolk County Republicans carried Trump to victory, bringing in more votes than some states. With this victory under his belt, Suffolk County Republican Chairman John Jay LaValle is poised for victory in the upcoming November elections. At the Suffolk County Committee’s fundraiser hosted by Chairman LaValle at Dublin Deck in Patchogue, LaValle evoked a winning spirit as a Trump delegate from the 1st Congressional district; he validated the committee’s ability to win with past victories for state assembly, congress and numerous town and county elected positions. Always an eclectic mix of attendees at the committee’s fundraisers, he secured another successful event for the party he has led since 2009.
