Suffolk County Commissioner of Health Services Dr. James Tomarken this week reported two human cases of West Nile virus in Suffolk County, the first human cases reported this year. Both individuals live in Smithtown. One resident, who is under the age of 50, began experiencing symptoms consistent with West Nile virus disease in mid-August and has fully recovered. Another individual, who is over the age of 55 and began experiencing symptoms in mid-August, is currently receiving supportive therapy at a local hospital. West Nile virus is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. It is estimated 20 percent of those who become infected will develop clinically noticeable symptoms of West Nile virus disease. Mild symptoms may include fever, headache and body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands. More severe symptoms include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. West Nile virus can be fatal. Residents who experience symptoms are advised to visit their health care providers. While there is no specific treatment for West Nile virus, patients are treated with supportive therapy as needed. Individuals who are most at risk for severe infection include those over 50 years of age and those with chronic illness or compromised immune systems. These individuals are urged to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes during mosquito season,

which extends from June 1 through Nov. 1. Among the recommendations: Use insect repellent containing DEET; spray clothing with repellent containing permethrin; avoid going outside from dusk to dawn when most mosquitoes are active; wear long sleeves and long pants when nighttime activity is unavoidable; and eliminate standing water from flowerpots, clogged gutters, recycle bins, birdbaths, toys, swimming pools and hot tub covers. Individuals who have medical questions related to West Nile virus may call the Department of Health Services: 631-854-0333. To report mosquito problems or stagnant pools of water, call the Department of Public Works’ Vector Control Division at 631-852-4270.

Elwood BOE to consider $38M proposal for repairs By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com Elwood school district board of education will weigh putting two proposals before voters this November for a total of $38 million in districtwide repairs and upgrades. Superintendent Kenneth Bossert presented refined bond propositions Sept. 18 at Elwood Middle School Auditorium in which school officials have continued to gradually shave down and refine their list of desired projects into two propositions. “We need to make sure to put up a budget that is below the state tax cap and maintains all programs and staffing we offer to our students,” Bossert said. “We see the scope of this, there are projects that are desperate needs that cannot be included in the budget without decimating our instructional program.” The first proposition is for $34.5 million in capital projects and renovations that takes aim at health and safety issues in the schools. These funds would be used for major projects including the replacement of the roofs in each of the four buildings — Harley Avenue, Boyd Intermediate School, Elwood Middle School, and John H. Glenn High School — due to existing leaks and flooding issues; fixing sidewalk and pavement cracks; renovating cafeterias and auditoriums including air conditioning in some spaces. “It is cost prohibitive to add AC to all spaces,” Bossert said. “We would like to have

improvements and asbestos abatement for future construction. The proposed Proposition 2, as presented by Bossert, requests $3.72 million for enhancements to the district’s athletic programs. “The reason it is separate is there was division among opinions in the community,” Bossert said. “Some members of the community were strongly in support of this proposed $3.72 million as something they can

afford to invest in, other factions said, ‘We don’t feel that way.’ The board wisely chose to make it a separate proposition.” Proposition 2 would include a concession stand for the athletic fields with an outdoor bathroom, a synthetic turf field and sidewalks to make the fields ADA compliant, a new press box and scoreboard for the varsity baseball field. The superintendent said if the board of education votes to move forward Sept. 28, the residents will cast their ballots on Nov. 28. The average estimated cost to taxpayers for Proposition 1 is $221 per year, or $18.32, for a home with an assessed value of $3,800; and if both propositions pass the average cost would be $333 per year for a home with an assessed value of $3,800. Bossert stressed to residents that Proposition 2 for athletic enhancements can only be passed if Proposition 1 for districtwide repairs is approved by voters. A video of the superintendent’s Sept. 17 presentation is available on YouTube and the district’s website. Bossert said the district will also be adding a calculator to its website to allow property owners to insert their home’s tax value to determine what their individual tax increase will be if Proposition 1 is approved, and if both propositions are approved. “Elwood is not a village, not a town, but it is a school district,” Bossert said. “I believe our community takes good pride in our schools and I want that to be reflected.”

Cuomo calls for troopers in Huntington H.S. District superintendent offended by gov.’s plan

huntington high School officials don’t believe an in-school state trooper is necessary.

By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com Huntington High School found itself in the crosshairs of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) latest initiative that takes aims at cracking down on Long Island gang activity, much to the surprise of school officials. Cuomo announced Sept. 13 his plan for deployment of a new Gang Violence Prevention Unit, which will deploy state troopers to monitor gang activity and recruitment in the alleged top 10 “high-risk” Suffolk County schools. Huntington High School made the list. The prevention unit will immediately assign 10 state troopers, one to each of the 10 schools in the six targeted districts which includes Brentwood, Central Islip, Huntington, Longwood, South Country Central and Wyandanch. Cuomo said these districts were chosen as they were identified by local law enforcement as having the highest concentration of gang violence and vulnerability to recruitment efforts. In addition, the prevention unit will coordinate with the Suffolk County Police Department to launch an “Educate the Educators” program, aimed at helping teachers and faculty recognize early warning signs of gang involvement. “Our number one job in government is to keep all New Yorkers, and especially our children, safe,” Cuomo said in a statement. “By partnering with our schools, we will be better prepared to stop gang activity before it starts and end this heinous cycle of violence. This is just one step in our ongoing efforts to eradicate the threat of MS-13 and ensure that every student remains on a path to a bright future.” Huntington Superintendent James W. Polansky said he was “deeply disappointed” by the manner in which the governor presented the initiative. Polansky made clear to residents it was not a coordinated effort with the district in a letter sent to the community dated Sept. 14. “Much of our dismay stems from the fact that at no point were we approached,” Polansky said in a statement. “At no point did any state official or otherwise reach out and ask what we need or don’t need. At no point did anyone request a visit or invite a conversation of any sort. At no point have we received even fragments of information about this proposal.” Upon questioning state officials about Cuomo’s proposed plan, Polansky said the district received a thorough apology and admission that the “ball was dropped.” The superintendent stated in his Sept. 14 letter that Cuomo had mischaracterized the Huntington school district and that his words, “frankly, offend all members of the school community.” “In fact, numerous students were the first to point this out first thing in the morning,” Polansky wrote. “Unfortunately, we continue to witness education and politics rarely prove to be a productive combination.” As of Sept. 19, a state trooper has not been assigned to Huntington High School as part of the prevention unit, according to school spokesman Jim Hoops. The district does have a school resource officer assigned from Suffolk County police since 2004 to monitor issues that arise, which is shared with the South Huntington school district.

Huntington Manor firefighters evacuated 15 residents from an early morning apartment blaze Sept. 20. The fire department responded to initial reports of a structure fire on New York Avenue between East 10th and East 11th streets in Huntington Station at 6:51 a.m., according to fire district spokesman Steve Silverman. Firefighters found a fire in an apartment building located behind a commercial building and began an aggressive search and rescue. Several neighboring fire departments including Commack, Dix Hills,

Greenlawn, Halesite, Huntington, Melville also responded bringing a total of 50 firefighters and 10 trucks to the scene. Huntington Manor assistant chiefs Jon Hoffman, Chuck Brady and Jim Glidden led crews in evacuating residents and bringing the fire under control within an hour. The fire caused extensive damage to the commercial building and apartments on the first and second floor, according to Silverman. New York Avenue was closed off in both directions by Suffolk County police during the fire, causing snarls to rush-hour traffic. The Suffolk County police Arson Squad and Huntington Town fire marshal are investigating the cause of the fire.

TOWN Former homeowners sue Town, Cook for $5M By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com

Two former East Northport landowners are suing Huntington Town, Councilman Eugene Cook (R) and his two business partners for $5 million over alleged loss of property rights. A federal lawsuit filed Sept. 11 in U.S District Court for the Eastern District of New York claims that town officials have intentionally overlooked zoning code violations at a multi-family home on Larkfield Road — but only after it was purchased by TGJ 2014 LLC in 2014. The company is owned by Cook and two business partners, Huntington real estate agent Timothy Cavanagh and Commack attorney Joshua Price. The former homeowners, Mary Ann Dellinger, of Huntington, and her brother, Carmen Tomeo, allege the town officials’ efforts to unfairly enforce zoning codes on the fivefamily dwelling caused them to lose money in the sale, according to their attorney Christopher Cassar. The house was purchased for $400,000 by TGJ 2014. “This house was their primary asset,” Cassar said. The plaintiffs claim the Larkfield Road home’s use as a multi-family dwelling predates the creation of Huntington Town code in 1934, according to court documents. Cas-

a larkfield road home is at the center of a lawsuit by its two former owners against Town of huntington, Councilman eugene Cook and his two business partners. sar said the family has a March 11, 2007 letter from the town which grandfathered the property’s right to be legally occupied as a five-family residence. The lawsuit alleges town code enforcement officers began to issues summonses in 2012 against the property owners demanding it be returned to a single-family home,

despite earlier promises. “Town of Huntington has permitted and tolerated a pattern and practice of unjustified, unreasonable and illegal use of the enforcement of town code against the plaintiffs,” the lawsuit reads. Cassar said the town’s actions caused Dellinger and Tomeo to have difficulty selling

the house, as two prior deals fell through. One potential buyer would have paid $900,000 for the property, according to Cassar, half a million more than Cook and his partners paid. The former homeowners also claim the $5 million sought is for damages including loss of income from the property, loss of property value, embarrassment, harrassment, loss of liberty and infringement of their property rights, according to court records. In 2015, town officials hired attorney Edward Guardaro Jr., of the firm Kaufman, Borgeest & Ryan LLP, to look into the East Northport house, to determine whether it was a legal rental and if the work being performed was legal. Cassar said the town has issued a summons on the property, since Cook and his company took ownership, over issues with an exterior staircase and debris. However, the attorney said the town did not ever issue a code violation against it for being a multifamily dwelling. Huntington has not been served with the lawsuit as of Sept. 20, according to town spokesman A.J. Carter, and he declined to comment further on the matter. Cook also declined to comment on the lawsuit after the Sept. 19 board meeting, as did Cavanagh. Price returned calls but did not comment on the matter.

Lloyd Harbor CEO kicks off charity bike ride for cancer By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com A Hauppauge company’s employees are heading out on a cross-country tour to raise funds for cancer research and awareness inspired by the memory of a Kings Park woman. Nature’s Answer, a family-owned manufacturer of nutritional supplements, will celebrate the formation of its charitable arm, Nature’s Answer Foundation, with six employees embarking on a more than 4,000mile motorcycle ride beginning Oct. 1. “We are a health-oriented company and this ties closely in with the company’s mission of promoting well-being,” said vice president of operations Tom Connelly, of Stony Brook. The Road 2 Wellness Tour motorcycle ride came together as part coincidence and part in loving memory, said Nature’s Answer CEO Frank D’Amelio, Jr. D’Amelio, of Lloyd Harbor, said an employee asked for the company to participate in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, an American Cancer Society fundraising event Oct. 15 at Jones Beach. Nature’s Answer general counsel Scott Seedall, an avid motorcycle enthusiast, then asked D’Amelio if he would join him for a motorcycle ride after the company’s annual trade show in California. “When it was suggested we ride, I connected the events together,” said Nature’s Answer CEO. “I said let’s do it for [the] cause and that Monday is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.” D’Amelio said his sister-in-law, Maria

lloyd harbor resident Frank D’amelio, Jr. , CeO of nature’s answer in hauppauge, cuts a pink ribbon to celebrate the formation of the company’s nature’s answer Foundation. Bellock, 46, of Kings Park, died of breast cancer in July 2016. He witnessed firsthand how devastating cancer can be. “Riding 4,200 miles is child’s play compared to what she went through,” he said. Bellock’s brother Larry Chiarenza, of Commack, is Nature’s Answer vice president of sales and will be riding cross country. “Cancer is very taxing on the caregivers as well as on the patient,” he said. “It’s a very difficult process to go through.”

A former motorcyclist, Chiarenza said the two-week ride will be a challenge as he’s never ridden further than 100 miles before. “[Maria] would probably think I’m nuts because I haven’t ridden in 30 years,” he said. “I never had any intention of riding again but it’s for such a good cause. How could I not?” Other riders include Kasra Hosmand, of Bay Shore; Tom Mandelo, of Lake Ronkonkoma; and John Hank, of Huntington.

Father Anthony Asir of St. Thomas More Parish in Hauppauge blessed the bikes Sept. 18 at a kickoff event held at the company’s Hauppauge location. “I hope this can help bring people out of the darkness into the light, from ignorance into awareness,” Father Asir said. “May they go as your ministers bringing cancer awareness where they ride.” The two-week tour will include stops in numerous cities to raise awareness with highlights including several American Cancer Society Hope Lodges, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory before ending at the Jones Beach walkathon Oct. 15. Money will be raised through donations from sponsors and the sale of promotional items. In addition, the company will donate 10 percent of its total sale proceeds for the month of October. Overall funds raised will go to charities including the American Cancer Society, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and St. Jude hospital. “With that funding, we can start new research projects which are risky, too risky for the government to support,” said Diane Fagiola, senior director of philanthropy for CSH Lab. “This fundraising is huge for us.” Camila dos Santos, a junior faculty at the lab, said these funds allow researchers, like her, to get an initial data set to help support “out-of-the-box” research ideas and be more competitive for federal grants.

I would love for them to experience the joy of making music, and just have something they can be proud of in saying I did this, I learned this, I can practice this.” Guitarist Steve Salerno, who performs at The Jazz Loft often, was touched by Manuel’s accounts of his trips to Haiti and is looking forward to traveling with him to the country this year. “It just sounded like an amazing opportunity to maybe share in what he’s experienced,” Salerno said. “I hope that this will be kind of a wondrous experience for them to hear different types of music performed collectively.” Manuel believes the musicians will gain a lot from the trip.

“I’ve always felt, personally, and I know everyone going on the trip feels this way — we have all these different languages and all these differences that separate us, but in the end, we have more in common than we realize,” Manuel said. “That’s part of why I think trips like this, outreaches like this, travel in general, whether you’re doing a specific mission or not, is so important for people. The more you travel, the more you spend time with human beings, the more you realize we’re more like each other than we’re not and music is a universal language.” A fundraising concert is planned at the venue at 275 Christian Ave. in Stony Brook Oct. 5 to offset the cost of the trip, and used instruments can be dropped off at the location. The Jazz Loft is open Thursday through Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. and various evenings for performances. For more information call 631-751-1895.

Taking initiative

During the summer, when school is far from the minds of many students, Northport High School senior Matt Baron, along with a group of his peers, built and installed a new display case for the school’s tech projects. The main project to be showcased was Kujo — an impressive robot built last year by the school’s robotics club, Team 5099. Kujo took third place at the annual robotics competition at Hofstra University in April 2016. Baron, who has been a Boy Scout since first grade, was looking to find the right project to tackle to help him achieve Eagle Scout rank. He concluded that the ideal project would be something that would give back to the FIRST Robotics program, which he’s been a part of

since freshman year. “Doing something for my team felt like the right idea,” he said. “I wanted to show a commitment to my community.” Baron took leadership in all aspects of design, engineering, fundraising and construction. He and his peers worked tirelessly until the project was completed. This project leaves a legacy for future students, who will proudly be able to display their innovative projects at Northport High School for years to come. We are proud of Matt’s efforts,” David Storch, district chairperson of science and technology, said, “and we thoroughly appreciate his fine work and contribution to our learning community at Northport High School.”

He was the beloved husband of the late Jacqueline; devoted father of Andrew Jr. (Kathy) and Patricia (Joseph) Corino; cherished grandfather of Blake, Nicholas, Matthew, Andrea, Thomas and James; and dear brother of Sam, Robert and Joanne.

Stony Brook University professor Christopher Gobler discusses the quality of local bodies of water at a press conference Sept. 12, on left, showing a map, above, which displays areas affected by issues like blue-green algae, which has been found in roth Pond at Stony Brook University, used for the school’s roth regatta event, seen below right. Port Jefferson Harbor, below left, is being monitored due to the spread of hypoxia across local bodies of water.

Long Island’s coastal waters, bays still suffering By Kyle Barr There’s still something in the water — and it’s not a good kind of something. Scientists from the Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences released an annual report highlighting the concern over the prolonged existence of toxic algae blooms, and a deficiency of oxygen in Long Island waters caused by high levels of nitrogen. Stony Brook professor Christopher Gobler and several members of the advocacy collective Long Island Clean Water Partnership, a conglomerate of several Long Island environmental groups, revealed the findings of a study done from May to August. “In order to make Long Island sustainable and livable, clean water needs to be established,” said Adrienne Esposito, the executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment. “The challenge has been very great over the last decade … though the problem, unfortunately, is getting a bit

worse. Algae blooms and the degradation of water quality across Long Island are serious threats to Long Island’s health.” On the North Shore, there are several severe cases of hypoxia, or a depletion of dissolved oxygen in water, which is necessary for sea life to survive. Cases were found in Stony Brook Harbor, Northport Bay, Oyster Bay and Hempstead Bay. Measured on a milligram per liter of water scale, any case of hypoxia below 2 milligrams per liter can be harmful to fish, and almost anything else living on the bottom of the bays. There were also periodic outbreaks of blue-green algae in Lake Ronkonkoma and Stony Brook University’s Roth Pond. This algae releases a poison harmful to humans and animals, but Gobler said students at the university shouldn’t worry, because he and other scientists at Stony Brook are constantly monitoring the water, especially George Hoffman, a trustee of the Setauket before the annual Roth Regatta.

“Make no mistake about it, this is so big that even … still, we have the problem growing worse, and it is going to get worse before it gets better,” said Dick Amper, director of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society. “What’s the solution to this problem? We have to do more.” There have been several efforts to help curb water degradation on Long Island. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation in April that put $2.5 billion toward clean water protection, improving water infrastructure and building new sewer systems in Smithtown and Kings Park, and adding a rebate program for those upgrading outdated septic systems. Despite doing more, the repairs will take some time. “This is going to be a long, long marathon,” said Kevin McDonald, the conservation project director at The Nature Conservancy said. There is also worry that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — announcing the dumping of dredged materials into Long Island Sound — could compound the problem. “We have more political funding and will try to implement solutions,” Esposito said. “The problems are getting worse, but the solutions are becoming clearer.”

Thousands race in Great Cow Harbor 10K By Sara-Megan WalSh sara@tbrnewspapers.com More than 4,000 runners raced through Northport streets Sept. 16 in the 40th annual Great Cow Harbor 10K. Competitors traveled from as far away as California and Washington State to Lantau Island in Hong Kong to take on the rolling hills. The early morning fog with clouds threatened rain but held off, making for a hot and humid day. The weather didn’t appear to slow down runners any as it was a downhill footrace for first place in

the men’s division. Donald Cabral, 27, of Hartford, won the men’s division finishing the 6.2-mile course in 29 minutes, 24 seconds. Following close on his heels were second-place finisher Craig Lutz, 24, of Flagstaff, Arizona, in 29 minutes, 28 seconds, and third-place finisher Timothy Ritchie, 30, of New Haven with a time of 29 minutes, 32 seconds. Natosha Rogers, 26, of Littleton, Colorado, took first place in the women’s division with a time of 33 minutes, 23 second for the 6.2-mile course. Second place went to Kaitlin Goodman, 30, of

Providence, who finished in 34 minutes, 27 seconds and third place was awarded to Oregon resident Renee Metevier, 35, with a time of 34 minutes, 41 seconds. Each and every finisher was cheered to the finish line by local residents, friends and family who lined the sidewalks ringing cow bells, a part of the race’s tradition. The last to finish the course were a group of five firefighters who ran dressed in full gear including oxygen tanks, waving the American flag and a flag honoring firefighters and police.

Tornadoes get redemption spoiling Rocky Point’s homecoming By Bill landon Harborfields settled the score Saturday as the Tornadoes invaded Rocky Point and avenged last year’s homecoming loss by outscoring the Eagles 20-13 during a homecoming celebration of their own. Rocky Point senior Petey LaSalla bulled his way up the field for two touchdowns to help tie Harborfields with eight minutes left in the game, but a Tornadoes touchdown and stop sealed the Eagles’ fate Sept. 16. “The juniors on last year’s team remember that loss,” Harborfields head coach Rocco Colucci said. “I mean, hats off to Rocky Point, they’re a great football team and with good teams it usually does go down to the last minute, but what better way than to [come here] and return the favor at their homecoming game.”

Harborfields 20 Rocky Point 13

Harborfields dominated the time of possession in the opening half, but the Eagles’ defense held the team to just one touchdown after senior quarterback P.J. Clementi found a hole into the end zone at the 10:58 mark of the second quarter. With a failed point-after attempt, the team took a 6-0 lead into the break. “Our defense [played well] in the first half to hold them to just six points when they had possession like 90 percent of the time,” LaSalla said. “We lost a close one last week and this obviously sucks going 0-2, but we have power points [given to teams that face top-ranked opponents] and we have a big game next week at Comsewogue, which is their homecoming, and hopefully we can do to them what Harborfields did to us.” The Eagles opened the second half by marching the ball down to a fourth-and-1, but Harborfields’ defense plugged the hole and took over on downs. The Tornadoes used the possession to strike with just two minutes left in the quarter. Clementi took another keeper across the goal line, and Harborfields senior Ethan Krauss split the uprights this time to put his team ahead 13-0. “Our offensive and defensive lines were unreal today — they were making holes, they were clogging holes,” Clementi said. “To have those big guys up front, it’s a blessing, but I knew [Rocky Point was] going to try to get [Petey LaSalla] the ball because he’s their playmaker.” The Eagles’ offense opened the final quarter with a new look, putting LaSalla in shotgun formation. The running back plowed up the field until he crossed into the end zone for Rocky Point’s first touchdown of the day. Senior Jack Costa nailed the extra-point kick attempt to pull within six, 13-7. LaSalla scored again, but a missed kick blew Rocky Point’s chance at taking its first lead of the game. With the score tied 13-13, Clementi hit senior wide receiver Chris Dluginsky bolt-

ing down the left sideline 56 yards to Rocky Point’s 22-yard line. Senior running back Jimmy Bifulco finished the job with the final touchdown of the game for the 20-13 win. “I know they’re a great team, well-coached, but we came out here and we played our best,” Bifulco said. “We’re a family, we stick together the entire way and when it comes down to the last minute, we’ll finish it.” Harborfields did just that, holding off Rocky Point on its final attempt deep in Harbrofields’ territory with 14 seconds left until the time expired. “I was sitting on the sideline and I couldn’t watch,” Clementi said. “I walked back to the track and turned around. I was just waiting for that [last] play to be over.”

Rocky Point head coach Anthony DiLorenzo said he wishes he’d have taken a timeout when a first down was signaled following Rocky Point’s first possession of the second half. “Unfortunately, at the end of the game, that came back to bite us,” he said. “We came up short on the 2-yard line.” Colucci said he couldn’t be more proud of his players, with the team not being at full strength. “This was the ultimate team win,” he said. “Even at halftime people were looking at each other and saying, ‘We still got this.’ I have a couple of guys who weren’t feeling well and I told them ‘Don’t play for yourself, play for the guy next to you because next time they’re going to do it for you,’ and that’s going to win us some close games.”

After come-from-behind win, Tigers drop game to Smithtown By Bill landon Led by the power hitting of Matthew Wertheim and Daniel Murphy, Smithtown East got the best of the Northport’s boys volleyball team, taking the away victory in four sets 25-17, 25-21, 22-25 and 25-21 in Division I action Sept. 19. “We kind of let up a little bit — we didn’t play as well as we did in the first two sets, but we found a way to get back,” Murphy said. “Northport was a challenge, they came out hard. At first we had them, but then we slumped a little bit.” Both teams came to the court with identical 3-1 records. The Tigers, coming off a five-set comeback win over Ward Melville the night before. Northport struggled to contain Murphy (14 kills) up front as the outside hitter nailed back-to-back kills to put the Bulls out front 15-11 in the first set. Wertheim (18 kills) made his presence known, and added a pair of his own kills to put the Bulls one point away from winning the match. The Tigers were able to score three unanswered points before the Bulls shut the door. Smithtown East had momen-

tum on its side coming into the game, having won three in a row. The Bulls only loss of the season was the season opener against Walt Whitman Sept. 5. Looking to build on their momentum, the Bulls jumped ahead 9-5, only to have the Tigers claw their way back to tie the set 10-10. Smithtown East libero Bryan Kaplan slammed home four straight aces to get ahead once more. Both teams traded points, and Smithtown East edged ahead 23-20 before putting away set two. Northport came out fast in the third set, and mental errors cost Smithtown East the lead, falling behind 14-9. Murphy, equally dangerous from the service line, scored three aces to close within one point. “I don’t think they were playing to the best of their ability in the first two sets, but then we fell flat, we were overconfident in that third set [and it got away from us],” Smithtown East setter Kyle Shaffer said. “They were better than I’d thought they’d be — their middles are very good and they have great blocking.” Northport setter Ben Sandt turned the tide with a pair of monster kill shots and the Tigers

We kept our serves in and we rallied off that.” The Tigers looked to duplicate what they did the night before — winning three in a row — and found themselves in a 12-12 stale-

mate in the fourth set. Northport mistakes put the Bulls out front 19-17, and then 23-20 before Northport called timeout. “Yesterday they went down two but came back, and we were worried that they were going to do the same thing to us,” Smithtown East head coach Ray Preston said. “But we were able to battle through.” The Tigers, desperate to force a final set, scored next, but it was

too little too late. Northport head coach Amanda DiPietro said she saw weakness in her lineup that will be addressed going forward. “I knew they were going to be tough — we saw them in some tournaments previously and they’re a tough team, they have a lot of talent,” she said. “Our service was pretty strong today, but we need to get better at blocking.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

North Shore residents have been given the opportunity to welcome people with unique challenges or auxiliary needs to their neighborhoods. Unfortunately, many have not greeted their potential neighbors with open arms. Complaints in three neighborhoods have popped up despite past successes of nonprofits that strive to create a better life for those with disabilities. While many cite traffic and safety issues, arguments seem to lead back to the same thing — fear that property values will go down. When Smithtown-based Developmental Disabilities Institute purchased a home on Henearly Drive in Miller Place to house six low-functioning autistic adults more than 21 years old, as well as three full-time staff members, many street neighbors objected. Among the issues cited were homeowners’ concerns that staff members entering and exiting the property would cause an increase in traffic and safety hazards in the area. The opposition is in spite of the fact that the nonprofit DDI successfully runs more than 30 homes throughout Suffolk and Nassau counties, many of which are located in residential areas. The organization also works with the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities in Albany to gauge the number of group homes in an area to ensure that it is not oversaturated. One resident said she was hesitant about strangers driving up and down her block multiple times and hanging out and smoking, and expressed that concern over her property value. On Sept. 5 a similar scenario played out in Smithtown as Long Hill Road residents petitioned the town regarding a future adult home for six developmentally disabled women. The residence was purchased by Catholic Guardian Services, a religious nonprofit that provides a wide array of services and support for the needy in New York. Like the Henearly Drive residents, Long Hill neighbors chose to argue the potential increase in traffic would create safety hazards. One homeowner Screenshot from Facebook claimed, “The nature and Comments in a closed group in response to the character of the surrounding area would be our Sept. 7 story on the Miller Place house. substantially altered due to these predicted problems.” In Port Jefferson last month, a lengthy debate broke out on an unofficial villagers Facebook group after a member posted a photo with an angry blurb about the eyesore that is homeless people sleeping at the Port Jefferson Long Island Rail Road station when they cannot be admitted to Pax Christi Hospitality Center. While we understand the concern over a decrease in property value in each of these three cases, these groups benefit neighborhoods and its residents. There is a track record of success and of upkeep, and we were happy to see others cry out in support of these homes. According to a thread on the Mount Sinai-Miller Place Community Facebook page, the support for the DDI home in Miller Place is overwhelming. It’s nice to see neighbors supporting neighbors, and to see those same people wanting to show that a small group of individuals and their opinions may not always speak for the thoughts and feelings of an entire hamlet or village. We’d like to preach a reminder that a little bit of compassion toward fellow citizens can go a long way in creating a healthier environment for all.

In the last few weeks we’ve seen a lot of suffering from unprecedented flooding and hardship in Texas and Florida. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have not only devastated homes, but they have taken away a sense of predictability and safety. We are now watching Hurricanes Jose and Maria make their way to landfall and are reminded again of the importance of getting our families and homes prepared for severe weather. Suffolk County is home to a large population of senior citizens. We must take the lessons we’ve learned from our own experience with Hurricane Sandy to plan specifically and strategically for our older residents who may have special needs. While typical preparedness focuses on access to water and food, elderly populations need to also plan around medications, batteries for electronic medical devices and how the loss of basic services such as water, gas, electricity and communication could potentially impact their health. They must prepare for the possibility of being evacuated or confined to their homes differently than the average citizen. Information is key to ensure that residents are prepared and equipped to get through an unpredictable storm as safely as possible. I encourage everyone to take the time to evaluate their preparedness. Below are a few tips:

• Have a kit of essential supplies and basic needs ready in a specific location before a disaster hits. Some of these items include canned food, bottled water, flashlight, batteries, a map, dry clothes, a multipurpose tool, firstaid supplies and hygiene products. • Seniors should evaluate their physical abilities and medical needs. Consider having at least seven days of medications handy. • Make a family emergency/communication plan including evacuation routes and meeting locations. • Inquire about community preparations with your local municipalities. Sign up in advance for public notifications and alerts and keep a list of important numbers within easy access. • Contact your local volunteer

fire department or ambulance and let them know if you may require special assistance. Planning for seniors during storms, in many cases, requires the involvement of the whole family and other caretakers. I want to ensure every family is fully prepared and is aware of available resources during a hurricane or other natural disaster. For a comprehensive list of resources and important numbers, please go to www.Suffolkcountyny.gov and visit the Office of Emergency Management page. Let’s always keep our neighbors in mind and, when possible, look out for each other.

Sanders’ Medicare bill a positive step I am delighted to see a nice amount of Democratic senators co-sponsoring Sen. Bernie Sanders’ bill calling for a Medicare plan for all Americans. It is a policy that is long overdue in the United States, as most developed countries in the world provide some version of universal health care, and report better overall outcomes in care and spending than our country does. While I recognize that this is a politically heavy lift in a Republican-held Congress and White House, I believe that it is a statement of progressive values and morals. This bill stands in stark contrast to the numerous Republican plans that have been proposed, all of which take health care away

from millions of Americans. The latest version of Trumpcare, the Graham-Cassidy-Heller bill, is yet another Republican proposal that the majority is trying to push through, without the procedures of committee hearings and a CBO score. They are attempting to do this before Sept. 30, so they can push this through the reconciliation process, which does not require 60 votes. It is a fiscally and morally irresponsible move, as health care is about one-sixth of our nation’s GDP, and this bill would affect the health care of 32 million Americans. It would also redistribute money to states, who could then choose to waive health benefits,

or deny coverage because of preexisting conditions. It is only when we as a society accept that health care is a basic human right, that every family deserves to see a doctor when they are sick, regardless of income, that we will at last join the rest of the civilized world in providing for our citizens. I am proud to stand with Sen. Sanders of Vermont and the co-sponsors of this bill, including New York’s Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, calling on a Medicare for all plan in the United States. I believe that these senators stand on the right side of history, and on the side of our citizens.

OpiniOn The fine art of setting expectations

f we stepped outside tomorrow to a 52 degree day, we’d race back inside and put on a coat. If we opened the door in January to the same temperature, we might race back into the house to shed that same coat. It’s all about expectations. Our daughter figured that out several years ago. Gone are the days when she tells us she thinks she did well on a test. She doesn’t want us to ask, “What happened?” or By Daniel Dunaief hear us say, “Oh, but you thought you did well on that test.” Instead, she often tamps down our expectations, indicating that we’d better brace for the equivalent of the academic cold. If she does better than expected, she won’t have to contend

D. None of the above

with questions. If she met the lowered expectations, she can say that, even if she didn’t do well, she can take consolation in knowing how she performed. Yes, relationships are all about managing those expectations. Let’s take a quick look at President Trump. He’s a shoot-from-the-tweet president. He frequently misspells words, gets facts wrong here and there, and attacks his opponents, his allies and anyone in between according to his mood. Has he done the same thing as our daughter? Is he resetting our expectations? Is he pleased to redefine the notion of a modern-day president? If, and when, he seems levelheaded, deliberate and considerate, is he climbing over a bar he reset for himself, giving us a chance to applaud the manner in which he interacted with a public prepared for a stream of anger and disdain? Relationships, as Harry from the movie “When Harry Met Sally” knew all too well, are also about setting expectations. When Harry (played

by Billy Crystal) is sharing one of his many philosophies of life with Sally (Meg Ryan), he suggests that he never takes a girlfriend to the airport early in a relationship because he doesn’t want her to ask why, later in the relationship, he doesn’t take her to the airport anymore. Some people’s jobs, like stock market analysts, meteorologists and oddsmakers, involve setting expectations. Built into their forecasts, meteorologists often leave the back door open, in case they’re wrong. As in, “It probably won’t rain, but there’s a 15 percent chance of precipitation today.” While that forecast is innocuous enough, it leaves a small measure of flexibility in case the weather people missed a heavy band of rain clouds from their Doppler models, which happened recently, leaving my wife disappointed and dripping wet at her office after trudging through an unexpected shower. Of course, a meteorologist who predicted rain every day in anywhere but Ketchikan, Alaska, where the locals

say it rains 400 days a year, wouldn’t last long, as people would bristle at carrying unnecessary umbrellas through the brilliant sunshine Many years ago, my wife and I went to see a movie. When we got to the theater, the film was sold out. Instead of turning around, we bought tickets to a film on which we hadn’t read any reviews and knew nothing. We wound up watching “Shakespeare in Love.” We thoroughly enjoyed it, in part because we had no expectations. Perhaps the most difficult expectations to meet, or exceed, are our own. Raising the bar for anything — the taste of the food we cook, our performance during a presentation or our ability to stay calm in a crisis — involves risk. Then again, once we clear our new expectations often enough, we know what we can expect of ourselves and can move on to bigger challenges. The rewards, even if we never tell anyone how much more we accomplished than we expected, seem well worth the risk.

A toast to the beauty of upper New York state

his past week, we went “shufflin’ off to Buffalo.” Bet you don’t know where that expression came from. I certainly didn’t know that “Shuffle Off to Buffalo” is a song from Act II of the 1933 movie, “42nd Street,” and that it was a railroad saying even earlier. All I had to say was that I was going to Buffalo, and the response was immediate: “Shufflin’ off?” I was asked. The second reaction was also the same. “Better bring your long underwear,” I was urged. “And a shovel. Is it By Leah S. Dunaief snowing there yet?” Well, I’m going to tell you that Buffalo gets a bum rap. First of all, it was 82 degrees in the afternoon when it was only 80 degrees on Long Island. Fortunately I had passed on the suggested long

Between you and me

underwear. I did bring a pair of shorts, but I did not wear them because I didn’t see anyone wearing shorts in the city. When I am traveling, I’m a big believer in the “When in Rome” adage. Actually the city looked quite pleasant to me, larger than I had imagined, clean and with a fair share of tall buildings. The population of more than 250,000 residents makes it the second largest city in the state. I understand that Buffalo, like a number of rust-belt cities, has undergone quite a face-lift. Admittedly I did not see much of it since I was there for the fall meeting of the New York Press Association, and that meant I was locked into the hotel site where the workshops were held. But we did have a chance to look around a bit when we went out to the Anchor Bar, where Buffalo chicken wings were allegedly invented. It’s a pleasant and good-sized sports bar, and most people at the tables were, sure enough, having chicken wings with blue-cheese dip and cut-up celery sticks on the side, although one lady was eating a good-looking dish of shrimp scampi. She must have been a native.

In the way of cultural attractions, the city has an art museum, a science museum, a theater district, multiple art galleries, and the historic Martin House that was recommended for viewing. Buffalo was once the scene of considerable wealth from the auto industry, where Pierce-Arrow automobiles were manufactured, also the railroads and the Erie Canal. As a result there are a number of urban mansions. It also has a river walk on Lake Erie that houses several eateries. Food, in fact, is big. And people we met, in restaurants, the hotel and on the streets were friendly and unhurried — such a change of pace for a native New Yorker like me or even someone born and bred on Long Island. It always helps when the weather is beautiful, which it was for our entire stay. The Buffalo Transportation PierceArrow Museum was enough to make lovers of antique automobiles cry for joy. The museum, which is large and planning to get larger, also has antique bikes and motorcycles, all in seemingly shiny new condition. And it even houses a filling station designed by

Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s a remarkable piece of architecture. It was an eight-hour drive from Bridgeport, where the ferry docked, to Buffalo, and that does not count the stops. The roads are excellent, the roadside trees just beginning to suggest autumnal colors, and we spent one night on the way up in Canandaigua, about an hour and a half from Buffalo. In the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes region, the area is deservedly famous for its Riesling wines, which I confess to having tasted. The village, its name derived from the Seneca tribe, was the scene of the Susan B. Anthony trial in which she was accused of voting illegally in 1873, since women were not then allowed to vote. She was found guilty and fined $100 with costs, which she did not pay. Colleagues were surprised that we drove to Buffalo rather than just flying there, but I remembered from a previous trip many years ago, when I was a high school student, that the Mohawk Valley and upper New York state are truly lovely destinations. This trip confirmed that memory.
