Businesses who donated to Master Sgt. Christopher Raguso’s funeral

TBR NEWS MEDIA

One sign of late Commack resident Christopher Raguso’s lasting impact on his community may be his ability to inspire hundreds of Kings Park residents and businesses to donate. Kings Park residents and area businesses donated supplies to help the Fire Department of the City of New York host funeral services for the U.S. airman and New York City and Commack firefighter March 31. The FDNY reached out to the Kings Park Fire Department while planning for Raguso’s service, according to Kings Park Fire Chief John Gallo, requesting assistance to provide for the anticipated attendance between 3,000 and 15,000 mourners. It sought donations of bottled water, soda, food and paper goods to help feed the volunteer fighters and military personnel who would be attending the ceremony. “As soon as we heard the terrible news, we were there to support them in whatever Commack or the Raguso family needed,” Gallo said. The request hit close to home for Kings Park firefighters. Raguso’s brother-in-law, Andrew DiChiara, is a volunteer with the fire department. Gallo said he immediately reached out to neighboring fire departments in East Northport, Hauppauge, Nesconset, Nissequogue, Northport and St. James for help. As the estimates of those attending Raguso’s funeral increased, the fire chief said he called Tony Tanzi, president of Kings Park Chamber of Commerce, to see if local businesses would be willing to contribute. An email blast sent out to the chamber’s membership quickly went viral. Kings Park Moms group and the nonprofit organization Angels Without Faces reposted the message on their Facebook pages.

“The people in this community took it and ran with it,” Tanzi said. “That’s indicative of Kings Park as a whole. It’s what happens when one of our community is down, our community helps pick them up.” Long before Kings Park firefighters had posted they would be accepting public donations at 7 p.m. March 30, their storage warehouse was already filled with pallets of bottled water. A steady stream of residents pulled up in minivans and SUVs to donate cases of soda, potato chips and Girl Scout cookies saying simply “for Raguso.” Tanzi said about 50 pallets of water and more than 60,000 disposable drinking cups were collected. The sheer volume of supplies began to raise logistical issues of how to best move them to the funeral site. Kings Park Hardware sent over a forklift to help lift and maneuver pallets, according to Tanzi, while Plycon Transportation offered free use of their trucks to drop off the goods around town. The fire department’s Main Street headquarters and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5796 hall on Church Street both opened their doors as rest stops during Raguso’s funeral. The FDNY also set up garbage pails filled with water bottles on ice for mourners along the funeral procession route. “On behalf of the Kings Park Fire Department, I would personally like to extend my appreciation to all the residents of our community for their extremely generous and outstanding show of support,” said John Gallo, chief of the Kings Park Fire Department. “The Raguso family, Commack Fire Department and FDNY are all thankful to all of you who assisted in supporting Chris’ funeral. It is this outpouring of support that makes our community special and Kings Park a beautiful place to live. God bless America and God bless our military.”

Bill expands daytime home care for disabled veterans Vets 70 percent or more disabled from service qualify Access now available through all state veterans homes

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Disabled veterans received some good news March 28. President Donald Trump (R) signed the Adult Day Health Care Act into law this week, a bipartisan bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) that will expand access to health care for disabled veterans who need extra assistance and special attention in their daily lives, according to a press release from Zeldin’s office. “This is important legislation that provides a valuable and necessary service to our nation’s veterans,” Zeldin said in a statement. “By expanding access to Adult Day Health Care, we can ensure that all veterans receive the best and most efficient outpatient services that provide each veteran with the assistance and special attention they need, while still allowing them to maintain their independence.” The bill defines the program as a reimbursable treatment option through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Previously, the program was only accessible for disabled veterans at three state veterans homes in the country, leaving the expense of health care oftentimes directly shouldered by the veteran and his or her

family, according to the press release. One of the three homes was Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook. The Adult Day Health Care Act provides comprehensive medical and personal care combined with engaging social activities for the physically or cognitively impaired, as well as an array of therapies and counseling. With the passage of the bill, now those who are 70 percent or more disabled as a result of their service are able to access the in-home day care at no cost at any of the 153 state veterans homes in the U.S. “I am grateful to Congressman Zeldin for having the foresight to introduce this bill on behalf of all severely service-connected veterans who reside in state veterans homes across the country,” Vietnam veteran and patient of the Stony Brook facility Al Anderson said in a statement. “The bottom line is that this legislation will allow me to return home to my family while still having the ability to receive essential services through the Adult Day Health Care program. I can keep my chronic conditions in check and still enjoy the comforts of my own home.” Fred Sganga, director of the Long Island State Veterans Home, also thanked Zeldin for his efforts in advancing the legislation. “This legislation helps to restore a veteran’s freedom to remain an active member of their community even after succumbing to the perils of military service,” he said. “Congressman Zeldin never forgets the sacrifice of brave women and men who donned the uniform to protect the freedoms we all enjoy today.” The Senate version of the bill was sponsored by U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). “Our nation’s veterans and their dedicated families have sacrificed enough,” Zeldin said. “This bill will give veterans the care they have earned while providing families with the support and relief they need to help their veteran loved ones to lead a fulfilling life, while keeping families together and strong.”

State legislators scholarships State assemblyman Andrew Raia (R-East Northport) announced the New York Conference of Italian-American State Legislators is now accepting applications for four $3,000 scholarships for high school seniors entering college or current college students. “In the past few years we’ve seen an astronomical increase in the cost of college tuition,” Raia said. “It is important that we continue to provide opportunities such as these scholarships to help young adults in the community.” Eligibility is based upon the student’s grade point average, involvement in the community and individual financial need. The Assemblyman James D. Conte memorial scholarship will be awarded to two students based on their academic success, while the Sen. John J. Marchi memorial scholarship will be awarded to student-athletes for their athletic abilities. The scholarships are limited to constitu-

ents who reside in a district represented by senators and assembly members that belong to the New York Conference of ItalianAmerican State Legislators. The deadline for filing is April 16. Scholarships are scheduled to be awarded at this year’s annual Legislative Conference Day in June. The application for the scholarship can be obtained by calling Raia’s office at 631-261-4151, emailing raiaa@ assembly.state.ny.us or visiting his Northport office on the second floor at 75 Woodbine Ave. Applications should be hand-delivered or mailed to the Northport office. The conference is a bipartisan organization of New York State Assembly and Senate members who are actively involved in promoting and celebrating the state’s Italian-American community. The conference’s mission is to work hard to elevate and highlight ItalianAmerican contributions to New York state and beyond, in all aspects of society, including LEGALS con’t on pg. 10 literature, the arts, architecture and politics.

High school track grant Greater Long Island Running Club, of Plainview, will be awarding at least one $5,000 grant to a Long Island public high school track and field program this year. Selection of the winning high school(s) will be based on: the need of the school; the purpose for which the grant would be used; the benefit to the program and the studentathletes who are part of the program; and the benefit to the community of which the high school is a part. In 2016, the running club awarded a $5,000 grant to Brentwood High School to help reinstitute and revitalize the school’s cross country program, which had not been

offered since 2010 because of lack of funding. In 2017, to help Central Islip High School kids afford running shoes, the club brought the entire boys and girls teams into Sayville Running Company for shoes. “High school runners represent the future of our sport,” said Linda Ottaviano, the running club’s executive director. “We are thrilled to be able to help deserving high school programs, high school athletes and the communities that they are a part of.” Applications can be obtained by calling the running club office at 516-349-7646 or emailing info@glirc.org. Applications must be received by May 1.

Under Armour lacrosse tryouts Tryout registration is now open for this year’s Under Armour Underclass tournament. The 2018 tournament will again feature two divisions in each region — the Command Division and Highlight Division. Command will showcase players from the 2021 and 2022 high school graduation years, while the Highlight will feature the 2019 and 2020 players. Each division will compete within itself at the tryouts and main event. This year will see the addition of the CONNY (Connecticut & New York) region to the Underclass tryouts and tournament. Other regions represented include Baltimore, Long Island, the Midwest, Philadelphia, New England, New Jersey, South, Southwest, Upstate New York, Washington, D.C., and the West. The regional teams will be selected via

tryouts during the months of May and June. Each player must register for their geographic region and be judged by a panel of sources, including coaching experts from that region. Players will be chosen based on position and performance at that day’s tryout. Once selected, the Underclass teams will travel to Townson University in Baltimore, Maryland, and compete in the tournament June 28 to July 1. Each team will battle in a pool play at the Under Armour All-AmericaLacrosse Weekend to be crowned the nation’s elite team. College coaches from DI, DII and DIII lacrosse programs will be invited to attend both the regional tryouts, as well as the games in Baltimore.

SUFFOLK COUNTY

A map of the soon-to-be Rails to Trails bike trail that will run from Mount Sinai to Wading River.

Rails to Trails needs upkeep after completion

We were among those excited to hear the long-discussed 10-mile bike trail from Mount Sinai to Wading River Rails to Trails project finally seems to be getting off the ground. With work expected to begin in spring 2019, the LIPA-owned property will be put to great community use with countless benefits for both locals and visitors to the area. We have heard complaints from residents whose properties abut the trail, and we’ve also heard of issues at other comparable trails on Long Island. It is incumbent on the organizers of this project — Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), engineering firm NV5 and the county’s Department of Public Works — to not only hear but also act on resident concerns all along the way. While we understand having a trail suddenly run through your backyard can be a disruptive new addition to a home with the potential to attract strangers, we would argue unused woods can also attract undesirable behaviors. This is not to say that steps shouldn’t be taken to buffer the trail from property lines. We are confident that an amicable compromise can be reached as long as residents’ concerns are truly taken into account. The popular Long Island Greenbelt Trail, which is overseen by the nonprofit Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, is regularly in need of volunteers to help maintain and clean up the massive trail. To its credit, the group has a tab on its website where hikers can submit reports about issues or problems along the trail. Something like this would be great when the Mount Sinai-to-Wading River project is complete. Building a bike trail for residents and tourists alike to enjoy and utilize is great in theory, but maintaining it and keeping it vibrant is another project entirely. We would even propose the newly created chambers of commerce in each of the hamlets through which the trail runs divide the 10 miles and host quarterly cleanups. We were also glad to hear mile markers will be included on the trail to make it easier for people in need of emergency assistance to let authorities know where on the trail they are located. We’d like to see something similar to what Cold Spring Harbor State Park implemented a few years ago to ensure safety for users of the trail. Suffolk County police officer James Garside helped develop and implement innovative GPS-enabled trail markers there, and since installation in 2017, a man who suffered a heart attack on the trail was saved thanks to the availability of his precise location. We also hope this new trail is like the Setauket-Port Jefferson Greenway Trail in one specific way. “From the 6th Precinct’s standpoint there haven’t been any spikes in burglaries or home invasions on the [Setauket-Port Jefferson Greenway Trail],” Community Oriented Police Enforcement unit Sgt. Walter Langdon said during a discussion about safety on the new trail. “With the right-of-ways, people can already access the rear of these houses. With more people on the trail, there’s more people to call 911. In a way, it’s safer.” Projects for public good are always great by us, but keeping a neighbor-friendly status will require attention and work.

U.S. should try diplomacy first, not war The horrific tragedy of destroyed lives and families returns home. People on both sides are wounded, maimed and die and that is the reason all alternatives to war must be fully exhausted before war commences. All wars, military interventions, government overthrows and meddling by America in sovereign countries that didn’t attack us since the end of World War II, were illegal and could have been avoided. Korea and Vietnam were indigenous attempts at reunification and to throw off colonial oppressors for independent rule. We were lied to about the causes of war killing tens of thousands of Americans and millions of Asians and destroyed their lands.

The Iraq wars were based on lies; there were no weapons of mass destruction or al-Qaida involvement. Afghanistan, after 17 years and the 100,000 troop surge under President Barack Obama, has failed. Americans are illegally in Syria and dying. Americans are all over Africa meddling, getting hurt and dying. Which African nation attacked us? Open-air burn pits on bases subject service people to 24/7 carcinogens. Twenty veterans a day commit suicide. We create far more enemies than we kill from “collateral damage” of incinerating civilians and wedding parties. Our debt is at record levels and most of the budget is spent on wars and weapons, depriving the rest for education,

infrastructure, clean energy, health care, veterans, housing in towns, cities and states. The Nuremberg principles, Geneva Conventions, United Nations charter are all official treaties the United States has signed with congressional assent limiting war to self defense if attacked; never for prevention. Diplomacy must be used first. America has and is pursuing war, occupying countries, overthrowing governments and supplying lethal weapons around the globe in violation of the treaties it signed. These tragic, unnecessary deaths will continue until the United States changes course and follows the laws it signed.

Wisdom, election don’t go together In response to the letter titled, “Trump is no fan of appeasement,” in the March 22 edition of The Village Times Herald, I must congratulate George Altemose on his jawdropping, unconditional loyalty to “chump” in the alternate universe that has been created through this administration. Honestly this letter read like political satire, dripping with head-smacking allegiance to a man who is single-handedly dismantling every aspect of our democratic government, as well as our foreign alliances across the globe. Apparently, though, “we are fortunate indeed that the American people had the wisdom to elect a president” ... I must cease my paraphrasing there in order to retain my dignity. Under no circumstances may

wisdom and “the election” of “chump” be relegated to the same occurrence. Without Russian collusion and an inept, outdated, unnecessary electoral system, the true winner would be in the White House today. Unfortunately, though, this election was trifled with and now we have a lunatic who is trying to deflect from the Mueller investigation by claiming that he and “little rocket man” are going to have a little meeting. And “chumpets” like Mr. Altemose believe that this “president” is protecting us from the big, bad world. Should we also commend “chump” for calling his buddy Putin to congratulate him on an election win based on murder and intimidation? Is the fact that our “president” made this call despite

warnings from his legal team and his Republican cronies not cause for concern? The actions of this White House inhabitant are unprecedented — and not in the good way his supporters believe — and are putting us in a very precarious situation that will simmer until it blows. Our only saving grace is that Mr. Mueller is in the final stretch toward liberation from this horrific administration and hopefully the damage will eventually be undone. With November in sight, those who continue to assuage “chump’s” maniacal behavior will be voted out, allowing for a path to resurrection of our democracy and a sense of sanity in Washington, D.C.

Encouraging praising, not judging Praising a brave Parkland student is the right thing to do, and I almost thought Elio Zappulla was coming around to reason in his letter, “Praising a brave Parkland student,” in the March 22 edition of The Village Times Herald. Until, that is, he wrote that he wanted us to attentively note that this brave student is of a minority group. What on earth does that have to do with his brave actions? “Sadly, Latinos, along with other groups, are often victims in our country of senseless prejudice,” he wrote.

Which, of course, Elio just had to mention. So clearly, only certain people have the ability to judge — yeah, I like that too, “judge” — from criteria derived “almost exclusively from what the individual has done, or said or written.” And judging by “race, religion, ethnic origin, etc.,” is “alas how un-American.” Sarcasm follows: I’m glad Elio pointed this out to us dumb, ignorant, stupid, un-American idiots. Who do you suppose he is referring to? Can you say basket of deplorables?

I am saddened to see that Elio feels he is better than those of us whom he’s so astutely categorized as the group with senseless prejudice — how ironic. He should stop acting like a 10-year-old kid. His comments are sometimes entertaining, but I’ve stopped being amused by them because I realize that he actually believes them. Just give it a rest.

OPINION

Standing tall on the volleyball court

looked around the packed Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia this past weekend. Let’s face it, I and — more importantly — my genes, fell short. It’s not necessarily a character flaw, but it’s not exactly the kind of advantage I’d want to give my children. There I was, cheering on my vertically challenged daughter in a game where height matters. Despite her stature, she has developed a royal passion for volleyball. The perpetual smile By Daniel Dunaief that crosses her face when she steps across the lines makes it all worthwhile, despite the effort, the expense, the endless attempts to get the stink out of her knee pads — and the driving through horrific traffic. She couldn’t be happier than

D. None of the above

when she’s throwing her small body around the floor, trying to get to some giant’s smash that seemed only a moment earlier out of her reach. When you have children, you want them to find their way, to develop outlets that they find rewarding and to contribute to something bigger than they are. Sports, I know, don’t cure disease. And yet, somehow, it’s become part of the American way, with people flying, driving and caravanning from all over the country to play in competitive tournaments where, if they succeed, they can get enough points to make it to nationals. So, there we were, listening to whistle after whistle at this volleyball attention-deficit-disorder factory when it occurred to me how my genes did my daughter no great favors. Many of the fathers towered over me. If I lived in a land where food were placed near the ceiling, I and my offspring would starve. My mother played volleyball when she was younger. She was tallish for her generation. I played volleyball

as well, although not nearly at the competitive level that has taken my daughter to places around the area, including Penn State. While my daughter is involved in numerous activities inside and outside school, it is volleyball that tops the list. When we go on vacation anywhere, the first thing she looks for is a place to play volleyball. As I watched her warm up for the third match of the day, I chatted with some of the parents from Virginia, Texas and Arizona that we met this past weekend. After some pleasantries about the event, the conversation inevitably turned toward the identity of our daughters. I could see the satisfaction they felt at pointing out their children from across the convention center floor. “My daughter is the one ducking her head down to walk under the exit sign over there.” “My daughter? She’s just a hair over 6 feet tall, but she’s still growing. How about you?” I’d smile sheepishly. “My daughter is in the middle of her teammates

over there.” “Where?” they’d ask politely. “She’s No. 9.” They’d squint into the group. Just then, my daughter would laugh her way to the outside of a circle of girls that looked like a group of gnats, diving in and out of the center of a circle of joy. Then again, as I watched her throw herself across the floor, I thought about the match between her personality and the role she plays in this sport. Sure, it’d be easier for her to stand out if she were taller. But, given her need to defy expectations, she’d probably want to be a jockey if she were 6 feet tall. As the weekend came to a close, I asked her if she wished she could play volleyball every day. “Of course,” she said. “Can you imagine having a job one day that made you feel that way?” I asked. “Yeah,” she smiled, trying to imagine a job that fits her interests as well as volleyball.

about 30-45 minutes, but between the prep at the office and the recovery, it’s a two-to-four hour event. The first time I had this test, I wanted to be awake to see the inside of the intestine, which is actually quite beautiful. It looks like a braid, as much more surface area can effectively fit into a small area. Tiny red and blue blood vessels crisscross the sides. Of course in order to see all this clearly, the intestine must first be totally cleaned out, which is probably the less pleasant part of the whole deal. Some fasting is involved, anything red, like a tomato, or a seed or nut that might block the view, is to be avoided, and in the last 12 hours before the test, a liquid laxative that spikes 64 ounces of Gatorade is ingested. I was advised to wear loose and comfortable clothing and to leave cash and jewelry at home. Upon arrival, I was given two of those infamous hospital gowns, one to face front and the other the rear. My clothes were secured in a locker, and after a thorough history was unhurriedly taken, the nurse placed an intravenous (IV) line into my arm.

After my first experience, I chose to be fully sedated this time. I was given the good news, that all was well, when I awoke. As a result of the sedation, however, I could not just get up and drive but needed to be accompanied by a companion. In my case it was my son, who could steer me through the hallway and into the car, then drive me home. Shortly after I arrived back in the kitchen, I realized I was ravenous and began refilling my intestine. There is a mild bit of bloating after the test as a result of the air that is added, but that is not particularly uncomfortable and disappears within hours. I was advised not to drive a car, operate any machinery or power tools (unlikely), drink any alcoholic beverages or make any important decisions until the following day. There are other forms of the colonoscopy that are somewhat less invasive, but my understanding is that this variant is the most thorough and therefore the most desirable. As for the silver lining? I did appear to lose a couple of pounds, at least for now.

Working to keep my end up

t was five years since I had a colonoscopy, so I made an appointment to repeat the procedure. It was not a date on the calendar I was looking forward to. I understand the importance of this test for me, so I did what I had to do. My dad died of intestinal cancer, as did several of his siblings, so the family warning is clear. Had this test been available at the time he was stricken, and his cancer discovered, I have little doubt that my dad, robust and By Leah S. Dunaief aathletic man, would have otherwise lived a longer life than his 70 years. A 2015 German study published in the European Journal of Cancer confirmed that colonoscopy screening “will lead to substantial reductions in

Between you and me

the colorectal cancer burden.” So what is a colonoscopy? I write to explain the test in the hopes of encouraging any readers who might be postponing and avoiding that appointment to take care of that little task once they turn 50. It is my understanding that in most cases, health insurance will cover the costs, which in itself is evidence of the importance of the test. And the experience is not so awful. In fact there is, so to speak, a silver lining, but more about that later. Here are the details. A flexible tube, called a colonoscope, with a video camera on the end that is connected to a large screen in the room, is inserted through the rectum and allows the gastroenterologist to examine the inside of the large intestine. The physician then searches for any abnormalities such as polyps, which can turn into cancer, and usually removes them. The scope rides on a cushion of air that is provided, kind of like a maglev train moves along smoothly without touching the ground through magnetic levitation. The actual procedure takes only

Health Link Health Information from Local Health Care Professionals

Jana Deitch, MD, FACS Medical Director, Breast Health Services St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center The American Cancer Society estimates 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women this year alone. The expert clinicians at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center urge you to take the time to understand early screening and options. St. Catherine of Siena offers comprehensive Breast Health Services, with a focus on early detection and patient education, advanced diagnostic and breast-conservation techniques, offering minimally invasive surgeries, in a supportive, patient-centered environment.

I have no family What are signs history of breast cancer, of breast cancer? when should I start breast cancer screening? A. Most breast cancers do

Do I need genetic testing?

A. No. Some people like to believe that breast cancer is caused by the radiation emitted from a mammogram. However, the amount of radiation that a person is exposed to during a routine mammogram is insignificant compared to the amount of radiation they are exposed to in the natural environment. Mammograms have minimal risk, and the benefits are so much greater.

A. Some women (and men) with personal history or family history of breast cancer meet criteria for genetic testing. There are many criterion, which include a breast cancer diagnosis before the age of 50, breast cancer at any age in an Ashkenazi Jewish person, family history of male breast cancer, or family history of ovarian cancer. If you do not know if you should get testing, you can meet with a genetic counselor or a breast specialist who will help determine if you should be tested.

I have family history of breast cancer, what should I do? A. See a breast specialist. They will determine your specific lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Based on those results, high risk screening MRI’s may be recommended, along with your annual mammography. The age to begin screening also varies, associated with other factors like the age of your relative’s diagnosis. A breast specialist may also recommend genetic counseling and testing.

A. I follow the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for breast cancer screening. For average risk women, it is recommended to begin annual mammography screening at age 40. If your mammogram shows you have dense tissue, then a screening ultrasound should also be performed. If you have family history of breast cancer, it is recommended to begin screening at 40 or 10 years before your relative’s age of diagnosis, whichever occurs first.

not have any signs. That is why it is so important to have your annual screening mammogram, which detects breast cancer in its earliest stage. Some breast cancers present as a palpable mass. A rare form of breast cancer can present as redness and swelling of your breast and mimics an infection. However, the majority of breast cancers do not have any signs or symptoms.

Do mammograms cause breast cancer?
