We’d like to examine your head very closely

FREE HEAD EX AM We look for certain “weak points” that can cause your diamond to pop out of your ring

The head of your ring is your diamond’s security system. If it weakens, or wears away...if your prongs become brittle, or snap off...you can lose your diamond. And it happens in an instant. One moment, your diamond is in your ring. The next, it’s gone. So why not let us take a close look at your ring? It’s free. And it could very well save you the cost and heartbreak of having to replace a diamond that you cherish.

Spend summer with the Coast Guard A unique summer program is available for high school juniors at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. The program, Academy Introduction Mission, offers an intense, six-day summer curriculum for a select group of students prior to their senior year. This is aimed at students who would like to consider the opportunities available for a no-expense, four-year college study at the academy and allows a sneak peak at life there. The summer orientation program will test and inspire those interested in serving their country as officers in the nation’s oldest continuous maritime service. During the program, the student is immersed in academy tradition and cadet life. AIM will also help the student to discover if he or she possesses the mind, body and character to succeed at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.

The mission of the academy is “to graduate young men and women with sound bodies, stout hearts and alert minds, with a liking for the sea and its lore, with that high sense of honor, loyalty and obedience which goes with trained initiative and leadership; well grounded in seamanship, the sciences and amenities, and strong in the resolve to be worthy of the traditions of commissioned officers in the United States Coast Guard in the service of their country and humanity.” Detailed information on this program and the academy can be found at www.cga.edu. Students and parents interested in AIM can contact Herb Herman, of the USCG Auxiliary Port Jefferson Flotilla by phone at 631-4730538 or email at hherman30@gmail.com. — Herb Herman

Village

Village establishes minimum bid for abandoned kayak auction New policy also sets a cap on accrual of daily fees while seized boats are being stored By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com In a seemingly ongoing effort to solidify policies regarding the storage of kayaks in Port Jefferson Village, the board of trustees voted to approve additional code changes during an Oct. 16 meeting. The latest code change will set a minimum opening bid at auction for kayaks and other small vessels previously seized by the village for being left on racks at village beaches past the posted required date for removal. Each year, residents interested in storage space for their boats enter a lottery, and those selected are permitted to use village racks for the season. Signage near the racks warns owners they need to be removed by Nov. 1, though the village typically allows a several week grace period before it starts seizing abandoned vessels and moving them into storage. The village still has several unclaimed boats left on racks from the 2016 season, which will be auctioned off Nov. 9. Adherent to the new policy, the minimum bid for any vessel will be $75, or $1 per day in storage plus a $25 fee — whichever total is less. So for example, a vessel in village storage for 10 days would have a minimum opening bid of $35 at auction. Any vessel kept for more than 50 days would have a minimum

Port Jefferson Village’s new kayak policy would likely make it less expensive for boat owners to retrieve their abandoned vessels from storage. opening bid of $75. “The whole goal is to get this thing rolling,” Village Mayor Margot Garant said during the meeting. The intent behind the connected village policies is to incentivize owners of seized boats to retrieve them from storage while also deterring rack users from leaving them through the winter.

The $1 per day in storage policy makes it less expensive for owners to retrieve abandoned boats than if they were to pay the fines, though they assume the risk of competing with other bidders. The new policy eliminates the current $10 fee per day for storing abandoned vessels. Art Worthington, a village resident for

more than a decade, is a boat owner who stands to benefit financially from the policy change, though in principle, he said he’s not satisfied with the new rules. Worthington said during a phone interview, and a village spokesperson confirmed by email, that he stored a 14-foot Sunfish sailboat on village property at the Crystal Brook Hollow Road beach during the 2016 season without a permit, and went to retrieve it for the winter in December 2016, about a month after the posted date warning of possible removal. He said at the time he asked the village by phone if they had seized his boat, and based on his description the spokesperson said it was not in storage. In September 2017, Worthington was granted permission to inspect the storage area, and found that his boat was in fact in the village’s possession. Worthington has since been instructed to bid on his vessel to get it back at auction. “I’d pay $75 for it, sure, but the bottom line is they’re dead wrong,” he said. “They deprived me of the use of it for a season. They should be giving the people their boats back.” Worthington said he believes his boat should be returned to him free of charge, and hasn’t decided yet if he will bid on it. Members of the public can view the vessels up for auction Oct. 27 from 10 to 11 a.m. at East Beach to consider participating in the Nov. 9 auction.

Above, Comsewogue Public library’s only three directors — richard lusak, Debra engelhardt and Brandon Pantorno — in front of the newly dedicated richard lusak Community room; and at right, residents celebrate the library’s 50th anniversary with face painting, pumpkin decorating, balloon animals and more.

Comsewogue Public Library celebrates 50th anniversary By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Much of the Port Jefferson Station community, and all of the Comsewogue Public Library’s past director’s were on hand Saturday for a day of celebration to commemorate the facility’s golden anniversary. As part of the event, the library’s community room was dedicated to its first director, Richard Lusak, who served in that position from 1966 to 2002. In its 50-year history, the Comsewogue Public Library has had just three directors. The 50th anniversary celebration Oct. 14 also featured games, a bounce house, farm animals, crafts, giveaways, snacks, face-painting, balloon animals, music, a historical society photo gallery and tour and a new gallery exhibit. “The program says ‘celebrating our past, present and future,’ so that’s what we’re doing all in one day, with the community,” the third and current director, Debra Engelhardt, said during the event. “We thought of it as a community thank you for the ongoing support that we’ve had since day one, across all three administrations.” Engelhardt’s predecessor, Brandon Pantorno, who served at the helm of the library from 2003 through 2012 and is a Port Jefferson Station native, is a lifetime member of what they each referred to as the library family, as they all

worked in several different capacities in the library’s hierarchy before becoming director. “I remember when Blockbuster video came into the neighborhood right on Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station and people would say ‘videos, they’re going to be the end to libraries,’” he said. “Well, libraries started circulating videos in addition to books, in addition to library coordinated programs, and guess what? Blockbuster video is no longer here, but Comsewogue library and other libraries — the library world — is still stronger than ever. We have evolved; we have very cleverly metamorphosed into different things for so many people.” Lusak was brought on to lead the library in its infancy in 1966 by its board of trustees at the time. During the summer of 1966, the Comsewogue School District board of education petitioned the community in to schedule a vote, in which five trustees would be elected and establish a budget of about $68,000. In November 1966, Lusak was hired, and the library’s original grounds were established in a portable classroom at the southern end of Terryville Road, which still exists today. By November 1967, the community overwhelmingly voted in support of funding the building of a 16,000-square-foot facility at 170 Terryville Road, where the library remains today, though it has grown

exponentially over the years. Lusak said he was honored and humbled to have the community meeting room dedicated in his honor. “I think the community decides whether or not we did a good job,” he said. “I can say this: the community has always been supportive of the library. The board of trustees here has always been dedicated to this institution — totally dedicated.” The library’s first director tried to sum up what his time at the community institution meant to him. “The people just love this library for the community, and I take a tremendous amount of pride in being associated with that,” said Lusak, who is a resident of Port Jefferson. “It made my life a pleasure.” Lusak’s wife Rosalie also attended the ceremony to celebrate her husband’s lifelong work. “It was never a job to him, it was just his passion,” she said. “It’s very, very moving that something would be dedicated to him and I’m glad he got to see it.” The Cumsewogue Historical Society was on hand during the event to share stories of the library’s history. Historical society vice president Joan Nickeson said the very first library card issued in 1967 was to Thomas E. Terry, the grandson of Edward Terry, who was one of the Terry brothers who founded Terryville.

Town Neighboring town development raises concerns for Brookhaven residents Community members, Romaine foresee traffic ‘nightmares’ if St. James Gyrodyne property is developed By Rita J. Egan rita@tbrnewspapers.com

George Hoffman, co-chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee for Route 25A, which conducted visioning meetings for residents in the Three Village area earlier this year, was also in attendance at the Oct. 4 meeting. He echoed Smith’s sentiments that there should have been more input from the community. He said he hopes Smith is successful in getting others involved in the coalition. “Maybe this is the issue that gets us all at the same table to start working in a uniform way where we start to talk,” Hoffman said. “I really think we need that.” Romaine also sent a letter Sept. 20 to Smithtown Planning Board Chairman Conrad Chayes expressing his concerns and recommendations. He said while the county did not require a traffic study and only recommended one, he has faith that Smithtown will mandate it. When it comes to developments such as Gyrodyne, the supervisor said he is willing to work with the state, county and other towns. “To think that people can blindly put traffic out on Stony Brook Road without us putting up a fight, they are going to be sadly mistaken,” he said. “Brookhaven is definitely going to fight this.” Requests for comments from representatives of Gyrodyne were not returned by press time.

Some Brookhaven residents and Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) are concerned about the potential negative impact development of a St. James property might have on Stony Brook Road. On Aug. 2, the Suffolk County Planning Committee approved the conceptual subdivision of a 62-acre parcel of land in St. James owned by Gyrodyne, LLC. The property, known locally as Flowerfield, borders Route 25A and Stony Brook Road, and the plan includes approval for a 150-room hotel, two medical office buildings and two assisted living facilities. One of the suggestions given at the August meeting to relieve possible traffic issues on Route 25A was to use a road that crosses over train tracks on the land parcel, passes Photo by Rita J.

Port Jeff resident helps villagers communicate with the dead By Kevin Redding Kevin@tBRnewspapeRs.com Along East Main Street in Port Jefferson, tucked between a plumbing company and a parking lot, sits a tiny, two-story shop where Lisa McGarrity communicates with the deceased. A new age store stocked with spell and magic books, a variety of incense and herbs, and a private space for tarot card readings, Envision Crystal has provided a spiritual avenue for residents from Port Jeff Village and beyond since 1987 as both a place for healing and closure, as well as exploration of macabre curiosities. McGarrity, a psychic medium who first discovered her necromantical gift as a child when she witnessed spirits roaming around her house, is the shop’s third owner and said there’s a reason why there’s no shortage of customers coming to her for advice on how to handle and interact with members of the afterlife. “Port Jefferson is so filled with spirits,” said McGarrity, who recalled several encounters with former, deceased village residents over the years. “I feel that wonderful energy of sea captains, people who grew up and worked here, musicians, merchants. There are a lot of psychics in the village because the energy here is conducive. I think spirits want to be here because it’s home. They want to visit and hang out.” In fact, the medium said, as the occupant of a historic home in town, she “has had friendly conversations” and sometimes shares her morning coffee with the gentleman who built her house long ago. While she used to be able to see these spectral visitors crystal clear as a child, McGarrity said now it’s more of an impression, a feeling, a sense. She described the sightings as being “a little sharper and clearer than a mind-wandering daydream.” Coming from a family of psychics and intuition-driven people, McGarrity, who studied psychology at Stony Brook University, said she’s never found this field all that unusual, but, growing up, thought it best to keep her interests in it hidden from people. “When I was young, I learned to separate it and talk about regular world things with people and leave that other world alone,” she explained. “Things have changed now and we live in a world that’s much more open now. I was born with this

I mean, I think what I do is super normal and something anyone can do if they want to pay attention to it. Some folks can sing. I’ve cultivated, developed and expanded what was a natural gift.”

St. James resident Andrea Giordano, a longtime customer of McGarrity’s shop, who developed a strong bond with the medium during a reading session, spoke highly of her friend’s gift. “What she does is get people connected,” Giordano said. “It’s not about money here. It’s about spirit, love, compassion and open mindedness. It’s universal humanity at its best. If you have faith in anything beyond this world, she helps reinforce that faith. If you don’t have faith when you walk in here, you leave here with faith.” McGarrity said, especially around this time of year, people often come into the shop on a mission to encounter ghosts in and around the area. For the budding paranormal investigators, the medium offers tips and advice — she stresses the importance of exploring in groups and with an experienced guide, equipping one’s self with protective stones and sage, which work to cleanse negative energy and drive away darker entities, and, most importantly, displaying respectful decorum. “The same rules with any human in-

teraction applies when interacting with spirits,” she said. “Start out nice, introduce yourself. That works well. Don’t go to a haunted location and shout out derogatory and inflammatory things.” Only a few minutes away, on Barnum Avenue, is the site of McGarrity’s occasional spiritual seminars: an 1890s-built, gothic-style home full of “incredible, wonderful energy,” according to its owner, L.L. Cartin. During one particular seminar, a few Halloweens ago, McGarrity said she led a group of spiritually-minded participants with electronic voice phenomenon equipment through the house.

She’s one to be admired and her delivery is very gentle so you can receive her information the right way. I love Lisa and I think she’s an asset to the community.”

Clockwise from above, Shoreham’s Sal Mingoia, on right, was a musician from a young age, performing with many bands over the years; Mingoia was also a Suffolk County police officer, working in the Crime Scene Section when he died; but most important to Mingoia was his family, daughters Samantha and gina, and wife denise. “He had a heart like nobody else,” Pollice said, who described Mingoia as the salt of the Earth. “I really would not be the man I am today if it weren’t for him. The path he led me down with music served me well and kept me out of a lot of bad things in my younger days. In school, he was the guy who stuck up for people getting picked on. He was a friend to everyone. A very rare kind of person.” After high school, Mingoia wound up at the police academy even though being a cop wasn’t exactly what he had planned for himself. His childhood friend Kenny Kearns was a New York City police officer and planned to take the test to transition to Suffolk County and encouraged Mingoia to take it too. He ended up getting a better result than Kearns and decided give the occupation a try.

Clockwise from above, Hannah dorney sends the ball downfield; ava Fernandes and Sophia azzara pressure Bay Shore’s goalkeeper; Kayleigh Mimnaugh clears the ball out of the Warriors’ zone; Mimnaugh dribbles the ball in the air with her stick; and dorney and azzara celebrate the win.

Mimnaugh scores twice in Warriors’ first-round win By Bill landon Comsewogue senior Hannah Dorney recalled the first time her field hockey team played Bay Shore, losing a close 2-1 game back on Sept. 13. “We went into the game today thinking about last time, and just how devastating that loss was,” Dorney said. “It was a long bus ride home, and [the whole time] you’re thinking, ‘What could we have done better?’”

Comsewogue 3 Bay Shore 2

This time, the No. 9-seeded Warriors had the offense to support a solid defense, to pull away with a 3-2 win over No. 8 Bay Shore in the first round of the Class A playoffs Oct. 17. Sophomore Kayleigh Mimnaugh had two goals in the win, scoring first on a flick pass from junior Sophia Azzara and the game-winner on a player-down opportunity and a feed from senior Gabriella Ventura. With the teams tied 1-1 heading into halftime after her first tally, she said a pep talk from head coach Jacqueline Wilkom got her juices flowing. “Our halftime speech from the coach really pumped us up, and I think that we just worked harder overall in that second half,” Mimnaugh said. “We played well defensively.” Dorney took working harder to heart, and opened the second half with a takeaway, outrunning defenders behind her as she carried the ball from the 35-yard line to the front of the cage for a solo shot and a 2-1 advantage. Comsewogue had trouble capitalizing on its opportunities though, as Bay Shore committed six fouls in the striking circle, leading to six consecutive penalty corner shots from which the Warriors came away empty. Being a player down for a majority of the second half — 20 minutes — defense was the name of the game for Comsewogue, but Bay Shore finally broke through, retying the game with 15:38 left to play. Azzara said she was somewhat surprised with how her team weathered the storm in the second half. “Honestly, I didn’t think we’d come out here and do this well against them,” she said.

“But I knew we had it in us — we work really well together and we’re very close, so I think that helped us.” Comsewogue, on a five-game winning streak, improves to 12-3 and advances to face No. 1 undefeated Ward Melville on the road Friday, Oct. 20 at 2:30 p.m. “We have a talented group of girls — they’re fantastic athletes, and it’s just a matter of them coming out and giving it all that they have,” Wilkom said. “And so long as we play our game, I don’t think that there’s any team we can’t beat.” For the Warriors, this bus ride home will be different.

Students at Port Jefferson Middle School are working in conjunction with Port Jefferson Village in the Paint Port Pink initiative for the Fortunato Breast Health Center at Mather Hospital. As part of the October community outreach effort to raise awareness about breast cancer, Monica Consalvo, a teacher at the school, pictured in the center, along with seventh-grade students Ellery Tafuro, on the left, and Tamara Scully, on the right, created a poster that hangs in the hallway

to showcase ways that others can become involved in the community activities. Some of the local businesses involved in the campaign have special offers for the month and students, families and school staff members are encouraged to visit the shops to help with the awareness efforts. As concerned community partners, the students and staff will each write their name on a pink ribbon sticker and all the stickers will be colorfully displayed within a larger ribbon outline showing that they are all engaged in the endeavor.

Port Jeff doughnut shop embracing breast cancer awareness month By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Indulging in a delicious, fresh specialty doughnut can be done guilt free in Port Jefferson this month. East Main & Main, a doughnut shop in Port Jefferson Village that opened in June and is named for the intersection it overlooks, has embraced the spirit of national Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In October, among the shop’s made fresh in-house daily selections has been an assortment of pink-decorated themed treats meant to honor the occasion and raise money for a worthy cause. Port Jeff annually recognizes breast cancer awareness thanks to the Fortunato Breast Health Center Services at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital, the driving force behind Paint Port Pink, a month-long community outreach effort in the village with the mission of raising awareness about breast cancer, sharing information and education and fostering solidarity in the community. Every day this month, East Main & Main owners Lisa Harris and Robert Strehle have brainstormed new pink doughnuts to offer to customers, and a portion of the sales for each of the commemorative pastries will be donated to the Fortunato center’s Fund for the Uninsured at the end of the month. The fund is comprised of money from community donations and fundraising initiatives to offer discounted or no-cost mammography screenings to qualified patients. “Cancer in general is a cause that’s near and dear to my heart and this was something we were definitely going to jump on board with and participate in,” Harris said during a phone interview. She said she has an aunt who is a breast cancer survivor and knows many others, so the decision to participate was easy. “We just look forward to getting more and more involved in the community in any way that we can, especially for causes we believe in.”

Harris said the pink doughnuts have sold out every day so far and the customer response has been enthusiastic. Some of the flavors have included pink guava, peanut butter and jelly, pink lemonade, a “pink diva” doughnut with gold glitter and many more. None of the flavors have been or will be repeated, and Harris said it has been a little stressful coming up with new flavors, which she said they do on the fly each day, but a dedicated team of kid tasters and other customers have offered feedback and suggestions to share the creative burden. “It’s all sorts of fun,” Harris said of the creative process. On Oct. 4, the shop featured a strawberry pomegranate frosted doughnut, and a satisfied customer commented on a photo of the creation on East Main & Main’s Instagram account: “Yumm! The best flavor! Can’t wait for it to reappear in the spring — hopefully?” Also featured the same day was the Pink Party, a strawberry frosted doughnut dipped in rainbow sprinkles. “Hands down the best pink-frosted donut I’ve ever had,” another Instagram follower posted. “Thank you for that magic.” Harris suggested the success of the October promotion has inspired the owners to seek out more month-long features aimed at raising money and awareness for worthy causes in the coming months. The American Cancer Society reports that the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer sometime during her life is about one in eight. Since there is still no sure way to prevent breast cancer, increased awareness, education and early detection are critical components of breast health care. The Fortunato center recommends that women apply the following the guidelines for early detection of breast cancer: first mammography by age 40 and yearly mammograms after age 40; clinical breast exams at least every three years beginning at age 20 and annually after age 40; and monthly breast self-examinations.

TBR NEWS MEDIA

Instead of tearing down zombie homes, Brookhaven Town is now looking to repurpose them. Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), alongside Long Island Builders Institute Chief Executive Officer Mitchell Pally, announced Oct. 3 the town is seeking to use fines paid by banks responsible for the housing crisis to pay for rehabilitation of abandoned homes in the town. In a collaborative effort, local builders and not-for-profit housing agencies will convert the blighted structures into homes for veterans and first-time homebuyers. The purpose of the press conference, held at a Port Jefferson Station home left vacant after Hurricane Sandy, was to call for funds from New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) to go toward the initiative. “Many of the houses on our vacant and abandoned list are in good shape and with some renovation, could be made habitable again,” Romaine said. “This proposal would generate construction jobs and allow families the opportunity to make firsttime home ownership a reality. It also will improve the quality of life in the neighborhood and increase property values for all the homes in the area.” Since 2015, the town has been aggressive in addressing zombie homes through a demolition program. Some homes are in danger of collapse, with rehabilitation not an option. Romaine has now identified many vacant and abandoned houses that are good candidates for rehabilitation, adding he wishes the town could have gotten to some of the homes that were torn down prior to them being in such detrimental shape. “We’re not only interested in tearing down houses,” Romaine said. “We’ve torn down close to 150 houses in this town that are zombie houses that have become so bad with mold, with the fact that they weren’t winterized and the pipes burst, with holes in the roof, with fires set, with squatters living in it, drug-use taking place around it — we’ve had no other choice but to demolish because it’s an unsafe structure. But we know if we had gotten to that house two-, or three-, or four-, or five years earlier we could have saved that house. We could have prevented the neighbors from living with something that looks terrible, and we could have gone in there and fixed up this house.” The supervisor recently sent a letter to Schneiderman requesting Brookhaven Town work with his office to develop a grant program through a partnership with Long Island Builders Institute and a housing not-for-profit to “stabilize our communities by purchasing and rehabilitating zombie homes, making them eligible for sale as affordable housing,” he wrote in the letter. The program would allow for homes to be purchased directly from the not-for-profit entity, thus reducing the amount of time required to purchase the home from a lending institution. “The maintenance of our local communities and the ability to provide affordable single-family housing opportunities is of vital importance to both our local governments as well as to the local building community, all of whose employees live and work on Long Island,” Pally said. “It is essential that we find a way in which to rehabilitate our local housing and allow for its sale to our local families.” He added that the Long Island Builders Institute strongly supports this initiative and hopes the town can get the funds. “[We want] to rehabilitate and sell such homes to deserving families,” he said. Sal Ferro, Alure Home Improvements president and representative of the Long Island Builders Institute, said he’s looking forward to his company partnering with the town to renovate the homes. “I think this is a great opportunity and it shows that the partnerships of our elected officials working with our local associations— like Long Island Housing Partnership and Long Island Builders Institute — and local businesses, when we come together, when we join forces we can truly make change.”

Girls will soon be able to join the Cub Scouts and, in the future, have the chance to earn Eagle Scout status.

Scouting opportunities The Boy Scouts of America board of directors announced the organization will allow girls to join its Cub Scouts program beginning in 2018 and will create a Scouting program that will begin in 2019 for older girls, which will allow them to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. While the Cub Scouts will have gender-specific dens, we feel the move is a step in the right direction to providing more diverse opportunities for young women to learn about the world and develop life skills. The goal should be to give everyone choices, and for those options to be equal for boys and girls. Some girls may like hiking, camping or woodworking — more physically challenging than activities offered by the Girl Scouts. We would also implore Boy Scouts to want to educate themselves and strive for badges available to their female counterparts. Becoming an Eagle Scout, which only one in 20 Boy Scouts attains, according to the Boy Scouts of America, is something every Scout should strive for. While we know a Gold Award was symbolically added to give girls something higher to attain, it’s nice to see the balance being done on this front to give the same weight to both achievements. In order to become an Eagle Scout, a child must earn 21 badges — 16 being in specific categories, so there’s a lot more that girls can learn when the badges are made available to them. While we’re not pushing for girls to join the Boy Scouts, we think that there’s something that can be learned from making the choices and badges on both sides made available to all. There’s a benefit to learning how to tend to a garden and help animals, and there’s also good that comes from learning about architecture and astronomy. Financial resources also play a part in leveling the playing field for both sexes. According to a 2013 Nonprofit Quarterly report, the net assets per member in the Girl Scouts are $54.54 compared to $333.61 per member in the Boy Scouts. More resources provide more opportunities for young people, and if both boys and girls can enjoy more activities due to this, our vote goes toward equaling this out. We’re for gender-inclusive options. A couple of years ago, our Men and Women of the Year edition was changed to People of the Year. Currently, our editorial staff is keeping our eye on a situation in Commack where a male student at the high school is hoping to join the girls varsity gymnastic team. In New York state, there have been no boys gymnastics teams in schools since the early 2000s. The currently all-girl team would be his only option to compete in his chosen sport. While he has tried three times to become part of the team, Section XI has denied his request, claiming he holds a competitive edge over the girls. We hope more can follow the Boy Scouts of America’s lead so that the power to choose remains in the hands of those interested in bettering themselves.

The Central Islip State Hospital opened in 1889 and closed in 1996. The Kings Park State Hospital opened in 1885 and closed in 1996. The Pilgrim State Hospital in Brentwood opened in 1931 and was the largest of its kind in the world. In 1954, it contained 13,875 patients and 4,000 employees. Today only three of the original 60 buildings are presently functioning. The staff did heroic work with little appreciation and small compensation. They worried what would happen to the present and future patients. Did society believe the social problems would disappear with the closing of these fine institutions? The patients in these three hospitals exceeded 30,000. They were primarily mentally and emotionally ill, drug and alcohol abusers, senile elderly, abandoned, criminally insane and homeless. During the operation of the psychiatric hospitals, patients were cared for by medical doctors, psychiatric doctors, nurses, social workers and trained aides. The patients received comfortable shelter, safe environment, nutritional meals, recreation, occupational therapy, psychological counseling and medical treatment. The hospitals were annually evaluated by

professional inspectors. These three Suffolk County psychiatric hospitals were closed by New York State politicians in Albany. The patients had no wealthy lobbying group to protect them. The hospital sites were primarily given to real estate and commercial developers. Today, Nassau and Suffolk counties bear the third largest homeless population in the United States. In March 2017, Newsday reported 4,000 homeless people lived on Long Island. From 2007 to 2015, the homeless population grew 41 percent to more than 88,000 in the state and was the largest increase of any state in the nation. The New York State Education Department counts 8,000 homeless students on Long Island and that included 500 in William Floyd School District alone. The homeless include 2,000 military veterans, people discharged from hospitals, domestic violence victims, alcoholics, drug addicts, physically and mentally challenged, and youths. Former Suffolk County Executive Steven Levy (R) said that elected officials and social agencies struggle to house the mentally ill since the three major psychiatric hospitals were closed. “We pick up the pieces at

our own expense, and it’s placed a tremendous burden on the county.” In 1984, Hope House began its ministries and through 33 years, Fr. Francis Pizzarelli has been an oasis of mercy and love for many of society’s troubled individuals. Fr. Frank helps many people who would otherwise have been patients in the abandoned psychiatric hospitals. He is not the problem, rather his services are part of the solution. His work is to be commended not condemned, as he follows God’s teaching of love and compassion for our brothers and sisters. In his humility and acknowledgement, Fr. Frank is quoted in the Oct. 12 edition of The Port Times Record, [“Homelessness in Port Jefferson: A problem that won’t go away”], saying, “I find this one of the most extraordinary communities when it comes to compassion and generosity.” Although our village is one of the most affluent in Suffolk County, our support for Fr. Frank’s mission is an indication of our spiritual wealth. God bless Fr. Frank Pizzarelli and his noble work.

Long Island is the place for Amazon A letter to Amazon: There is a thirsty and smart young population that is settling down on Long Island. I see them every day at work. They’re the ones who live in their parents’ basements, have full-time jobs, side hustle and chase degrees. Your company represents an opportunity for these eager and employable folks. An opportunity that this demographic isn’t afraid to seize. Across the United States there are similar populations and they make up a crucial part of the workforce. What differentiates this spot is the location. Besides the obvious geographical one, Brookhaven is home to a scientific marvel. I do not know exactly what a Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is, but there are only two in the world. One of them is housed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. What I can

only assume is that Marvel-esque science is being practiced here. Talent sharing between the Amazon brains and the lab engineers at Brookhaven would surely produce breakthroughs in many areas. Not five minutes down the road from the lab is the now defunct and vacant Dowling College. This offers abundant land peppered with ornate preconstructed buildings and ample parking. The campus-style business center is perfect to promote the Amazon culture and perhaps encourage some civic pride. To the south are the crisp waters of the Atlantic coast and further out east the glitz of the Hamptons. On the North Shore are vineyards and farms with a European vibe. Your distribution network could actually help these local businesses. Big picture, I see

Amazon drones and self-driving cars bringing local Long Island produce farm to table. You guys deliver. You deliver on prices, on service, on goods and you unfathomably pack and ship within 48 hours. I know New York can deliver, too. The proximity to the economic capital of the world, by osmosis, has trained us from a young age that competition is good and that hard work pays off. Amazon would thrive in this environment and the company would elevate the surrounding communities by introducing a new industry to the area. Amazon, please consider the Town of Brookhaven for the location of your second North American headquarters.

OpiniOn From Machiavelli to half marathons, relationships are limitless

’m going to start with a headline relationship that would make Niccolò Machiavelli proud and work my way toward life on Main Street. You remember Machiavelli? That’s the author who wrote “The Prince,” which was first published way back in 1532, about how to manipulate people to survive and use any means available. Wait, please don’t go. There won’t be a test and that’s the last date I’ll put in this column. Promise. So, I’m thinking about relaBy Daniel Dunaief tionships because of the new and improved dynamic between President Donald Trump and his Best Friend for Now — BFN, anyone? — Sen. Mitch McConnell. After a few tough losses, the Republican leaders seemed testy in

D. None of the above

their exchanges. No, no, they said earlier this week, that wasn’t so. They are buddies and they agree on everything. Well, almost everything. According to sources, the senior senator also wants two scoops of ice cream when he visits the White House, but the commander in chief has no intention of changing his ice cream policies, even for his BFN. Anyway, what brought these two older white men together? Did they talk about what it’s like to be misunderstood? Were they eager to find a friend in Washington, D.C., and did neither of them want to get a dog, as the expression goes? No, they came together because they need to. It’s so much easier, they decided, to agree and to work together than to disagree. That sounds reasonable, but what would Machiavelli think? I suspect he’d be thrilled. After all, it’s about surviving, learning to fight another day and moving the chess pieces of life around on the board. Fortunately, and I won’t put the date in here because I don’t want to break

my promise, chess was invented before “The Prince” was published. If you want to find it, you can look it up on the internet, which is the source of all information and misinformation in the universe. So, Machiavelli would have known about chess and the need to sacrifice the short-term humiliation of needing anyone and the mutually assured long-term gain of having allies in Washington. OK, so let’s step away from the seat of our democracy and go out into the real world. Why do the rest of us need relationships and what can they do for us? Are we like ants and bees, who need each other for specialized jobs? Yes and no. Certainly, I would have a hard time building my own house. I feel as if I have an incompetence allergy to the words “some assembly required.” I am also visual-arts deficient. People offer all kinds of false modesty, saying things like, “I used to ski a little” or “I used to do a bit of singing,” when they almost made the Olympic team and were a few auditions short

of starring next to Julie Andrews on Broadway. I, however, am not being modest. If I were responsible for building walls and decorating them, we’d be living in caves and would be staring at uninspiring chalk drawings of woolly mammoths. So, yes, our individual deficiencies suggest we do need each other. But, maybe, we benefit not just what we get from others. One of my good friends is in a new relationship. He has always been in decent physical shape. He’s not much of a reader and has shied away from even the shortest of reading assignments. Anyway, he’s dating a woman who is a regular runner and an avid reader. Lo and behold, he recently beamed after completing a half marathon and is happily building his own personal library. Maybe the best and longest lasting relationships are those that push us to find the best in ourselves. It’s not exactly Machiavelli 101 and it doesn’t require a press conference, but maybe the right relationships are those that help us develop in unexpected ways.

The unknown prince and the world of imperfect children

he recently aired story of Queen Elizabeth II’s uncle forcefully reminded me of my mother. I was probably thinking of my mother, since it would have been her birthday this past Monday. She was born in 1906, one year after Prince John. The sixth and last child of the then-Prince of Wales and Mary — by 1910, King George V and Queen Mary — young John was a handsome but unusually rambunctious member of the House By Leah S. Dunaief of Windsor. That may have had something to due with his diagnosis of epilepsy at age 4. From that time, Prince John lived increasingly out of public view, looked after by a governess, and there are no official portraits of him after age 8. He died from a severe seizure when he was just 13 years old. Only then was

Between you and me

his illness disclosed to the general public along with his learning disability, and on some official family trees of the royals his name was erased altogether. It was not at all unusual at that time and through much of the ensuing 20th century for families to hide their imperfect children. Often those were separated from their families and sent to institutions, where they died, perhaps from inattention or wanton neglect. Another such prominent family with a less-than-perfect child was that of Arthur Miller, the acclaimed writer of morality plays. He and his third wife had a mentally retarded son who was separated from his parents and sister, given over to the care of an older, childless couple and barely acknowledged, an apparent embarrassment to his cerebral father. Into this world my younger sister, Maxine, was born in 1942. She was diagnosed with Down syndrome almost immediately, and my mother’s highly regarded New York City obstetrician advised my parents to “do yourselves a favor and throw her into the nearest garbage can.” We live in an entirely different world today, made so by much of

the investigative reporting of journalists like Geraldo Rivera and his expose of terrible and unconscionable conditions at the Willowbrook State School on Staten Island in the 1970s. The courageous outing of their disabled sister by the Kennedys in the 1960s was also a transformative moment in this change from hiding away children with handicaps to helping them develop as humans entitled to their lives. Fully supported in her decision by my father, my mother fiercely insisted that my sister had every right to be loved and brought up alongside her other two children. She then devoted the rest of her life to caring for and teaching Maxine to the extent possible. There were no public schools to help the mentally challenged at the time any more than there were facilities to aid those with physical disabilities. But my mother, with infinite patience, taught my “profoundly retarded” (that was her diagnosis) sister to read and do simple arithmetic on perhaps a secondgrade level. In addition, Maxine was accepted into a private school for those with disabilities run by the Catholic

Church in Brooklyn, which further helped her development. My sister was a delightful member of our family with a wickedly good sense of humor and a heart full of kindness and love. She enriched all our lives and lived until 2008, something of a record for those with Down syndrome. Maxine was unlucky to be born with a severe disability and in the first half of the 20th century. But she was incredibly lucky to have my father and mother as her parents. My mother completely ignored the stares of passersby on the streets and on the buses of New York who had never before seen a person with Down syndrome. She valiantly withstood the ire of her sisters, who emotionally urged her to “put Maxine away,” the euphemistic phrase for institutionalizing, because she would ruin the good marriage prospects of the next generation if she were seen. And she integrated Maxine into her daily life to the edification of the neighborhood, whose residents came to greatly respect my parents and enjoy Maxine. Happy Birthday, Mom.
