Flanagan to lead State Senate GOP North Shore lawmaker says responsibility of new role includes rebuilding public trust

BY BARBARA DONLON

Suffolk County’s own state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) has been elected to serve as temporary president and state Senate majority leader after former head Dean G. Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) resigned from the post on Monday.

The Republican-led New York State Senate appointed Flanagan as its new leader amid the arrest of Skelos last week on federal corruption charges. The change in leadership comes after several Senate members pressured

Skelos, a Long Islander who touts a more than 30-year tenure, to resign from his leadership position.

Flanagan has been appointed to the temporary position of president and state Senate majority leader for the remainder of the 2015-16 term, according to a video from his swearing-in ceremony.

“I am proud and humbled to have been chosen as temporary president and majority leader of the New York State Senate,” Flanagan said in a statement. “I thank my colleagues for the confidence FLANAGAN continued on page A10

Smithtown anniversary to put faith in spotlight

BY BarBara Donlon

Nine churches will take part in the Smithtown Church History Day to honor and celebrate the town’s 350th anniversary.

Sunday, May 17, has been the designated day for residents to learn about other religions and discover the similarities between faiths. The churches will open their doors to interested parties for tours and historic activities.

The Resurrection Byzantine Catholic Church on Edgewater Avenue is welcoming visitors to its regularly scheduled Sunday Divine Liturgy at 11:15 a.m. followed by an open house and guided tours between 1 and 5 p.m.

The Smithtown United Methodist Church on Middle Country Road will open from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. for tours and additional activities. Members will also be serving light refreshments.

St. Thomas of Canterbury Episcopal Church on Brooksite Drive will also open its doors to the public for its 8 and 10 a.m. services with coffee following each one.

Between noon and 2 p.m. volunteers will be there to hand out brochures and give tours of the church and garden. There will also be a demonstration of how to use the Meditation Labyrinth.

For residents who would like to see Smithtown’s oldest church, they can visit Smithtown First Presbyterian founded

by Richard Smythe in 1675, located at the corner of Middle Country Road and North Country Road. Starting at 1 p.m. DVDs on the church and its history will be shown in the Narthex along with light refreshments available in the Parish Hall. Family activities will take place on the church lawn throughout the afternoon. Several other events will take place throughout the day.

County strengthens domestic violence safeguards

By Phil Corso

The county’s proactive push to empower victims of domestic violence reached another milestone on Tuesday when the Legislature unanimously approved a pilot program that would slap ankle bracelets on offenders under an order of protection.

County Legislator Kara Hahn (DSetauket) ignited the domestic violence discussion last month when the county approved her legislation providing law enforcement and victims with danger assessment tools that identify highrisk offenders. Her efforts turned another corner with the approval of Tuesday’s legislation in what she said was a multi-faceted approach toward making Suffolk’s domestic violence policy stronger than it’s ever been.

The latest pieces of legislation make Global Positioning System technology available for electronic monitoring of those in the family and criminal court systems subject to a “stay away” order of protection — which is more restrictive than a “refrain from” order — and pose a continuing threat to the safety of a victim or their children, Hahn said.

“This has been something I’ve wanted to work on since getting here,” said Hahn, whose personal experience as a victim of domestic violence brings the issue to the

top of her list of priorities. “One of the things that was important to me was dealing with orders of protection. I had an order of protection and it’s very frightening — and I’ve heard over and over again over the years — that it’s just a piece of paper with no ability to truly protect the victim.

That’s what I’m trying to fix.”

Both bills were virtually replicas of one another, but were specific to criminal and family courts respectively. The county’s district attorney would acquire the GPS units and the offenders would have to cover the cost of monitoring, she said.

Tom Spota, Suffolk County district attorney, threw his support behind Hahn’s initiative.

“I have every confidence this pilot program will be successful in effectively protecting victims of domestic violence,” he said in a statement.

In 2013 alone, the state division of criminal justice reported that there were more than 1,500 violations of orders of protection in the county. That statistic, coupled with the fact that domestic violence accounted for 21 percent of all violent victimizations nationwide from 2003 to 2012, was what spurred Hahn to bulk up her domestic violence agenda, she said.

“In my experience as a federal prosecutor, GPS devices serve as a real deterrent,”

legislator Kara hahn, center, pitches the pieces of legislation that would employ GPs technology to keep offenders away from domestic violence victims in suffolk County.

said Tim Sini, assistant deputy Suffolk County executive. “In the moment of passion, an offender often thinks twice before reoffending when he knows he is being monitored by law enforcement.”

The pilot program would provide the county with 30 new GPS devices to be used when judges assign offenders to an order of protection. The technology could be used in one of two ways — either tracking offenders so they

stay away from a victim’s home or jobs, or acting as proximity detectors and letting victims know if an offender is near them. The latter form of tracking would be optional for victims.

“Having been someone who had an order of protection and was afraid that the offender would come, it gives you peace of mind as a victim knowing you could be alerted,” Hahn said. “If a victim doesn’t like it, they don’t have to [wear] it.”

Administrators from the Kings Park Central school District say they are prepared for the coming years of declining enrollment figures after numbers hit historic highs years ago.

Park projected 3,391 enrollment by the coming September.

“The reason for the enrollment decline is fairly simple,” Eagen said. “The incoming kindergarten class has been smaller than the graduating twelfth-grade class of the previous year since 2007.”

Eagen said enrollment numbers should stabilize in the not-too-distant future, as the district moves forward with a staff-neutral budget that allows

for reductions in class sizes.

“Class sizes are finally moving in a good direction, and I have received some very positive feedback from the community on this,” he said.

The Commack School District, which did not return requests for comment, saw its enrollment figures drop from 7,830 in 2008 to 6,778 in 2014.

But as far as Suffolk County Democratic Chairman Rich Schaffer is concerned, the Republicans were late to the party.

He noted the Democrats have backed several Hispanic individuals who were elected “It’s about time,” Schaffer said. “We don’t need press releases. We’ve been doing it for years. We welcome them to finally recognizing that the Hispanic population is an important part of our county.”

Nunez said the GOP’s new alliance would also serve an educational purpose — engaging Latino voters in a political dialogue and perhaps dispelling fears of the political process that some may acquaint with their native countries.

It’s “smart” for Republicans to be reaching out to Hispanic voters, according to Xavier Palacios, a Huntington resident, school board member and cofounder of the Friends of Huntington Station Latin Quarter — a group established to revitalize Huntington Station through business development, mentorship, vocational training and other programs. The number-one issue on the minds

of Hispanics, Palacios said, is immigration reform, and it’s something Republicans need to address head-on if they’re going to attract Latino voters.

“I think it can no longer be the hot potato,” he said. “A solution to real immigration reform needs to be had, needs to be discussed as a real issue.”

Not everyone thinks that Latinos care most about the immigration issue. Nunez said there are many Latinos out there who feel people should arrive and settle in the country through legal channels. He also said immigration was a federal issue,

not a local one.

Other issues on the local level are of importance to Latinos too, Palacios said — namely economic opportunity. He said Republicans and Democrats would be smart “in focusing on pocketbook issues,” as many first-and-second-generation Latino residents are staggered in professions or can’t afford college. Immigrants come here to fulfill the American Dream for their children, something that appears to be becoming more challenging.

“Folks nowadays, in my view, are losing that dream,” he said.

Kings Park peaks at youth summit

Photo from Kings Park High School

Kings Park school officials congratulate Kathleen Schurr, Mariana Guercio and Samantha Fong on their success at the Long Island Youth Summit.

On April 17, students from Kings Park High School attended the Long Island Youth Summit held at Dowling College.

The summit is a program where students choose from an array of topics that are current issues on Long Island and then design plans to rectify them for the future.

Topics pertain to issues exclusive to Long Island such as socio-medical, environmental, educational, socio-economic, housing and leadership. Students choose their topics and present their research in such formats as artwork, video presentations or a formal research paper.

Dowling reviewed the projects and 70 students were chosen as finalists — Kings Park had more finalists than any other school district. Each finalist was awarded a $500 scholarship and, at the summit, discussed their projects and participated in activities in order to collectively solve the problems that could impact the future

of Long Island.

Following the workshops, representatives from Dowling announced the overall winners for each category and subcategory. Four students from Kings Park were chosen as overall winners: Samantha Fong and Christina Chalgren for their project, “Teens Mental Health, Self-Esteem, and Wellness” and Kathleen Schurr and Mariana Guercio for their project, “Bullying, Cyber Bullying, and Social Networking.”

Each overall winner received an additional $2,000 in scholarship funds and the opportunity to participate in a paid internship with North Shore LIJ. In addition to the paid internships, Kings Park students earned $43,000 in scholarship money, once again prevailing above any other school in attendance. The students enjoyed the experience and were extremely proud to represent Kings Park with such high distinction.

Game 2

on the left side of the net. Langella dumped it in for the score, and five minutes later, after their opponent scored again, senior attack Kaitlin Unser put one away after several attempts to bring the score to 9-3.

Each team traded two more goals to bring the score to 11-5 heading into the second half.

“We need to work on starting off strong in the first half,” Kosubinsky said. “I think in the second half we really stepped it up. We knew that we were capable of scoring more goals, so I was proud of the second half.”

Middle Country started off the scoring again in the second half, but only tallied one goal this time before Smithtown West put a point on the board.

“I thought winning the draw was going to be key today because both offenses are very strong,” Middle Country head coach Lindsay Dolson said. “Getting off to a strong start definitely helped, but it’s hard to keep that momentum going throughout the entire game, especially when you get up against a good team. They’re going to keep fighting — they’re not going to roll over and die.”

The Mad Dogs continued to win the draw and tacked on three unanswered goals, but the Bulls countered with a 5-0 run of their own, with Kosubinsky scoring two of those goals, which forced Middle Country to call timeout.

“When they called their timeout, they

The Bulls bounced back with a 20-6 win at home over Lindenhurst Tuesday, but the way the team was able to battle against the best team in Division I shows how far this Smithtown West team has come from past seasons.

“That’s not how they play, but they were definitely intimidated, without a doubt,” Smithtown West head coach Carie Bodo said after the team’s loss to visiting Middle Country. “In the first half, the girls were a little nervous, but in the second half, they were pissed and they came out and played, and we were able to outscore them in the second half.”

Middle Country started the game scoring seven unanswered goals before junior midfielder Mackenzie Heldberg put the Bulls on the board with 12:42 remaining before the halftime break.

After another Middle Country goal, Smithtown West sophomore midfielder Kayla Kosubinsky scooped the ball up off a turnover in the Bulls’ zone and passed it across the field until the ball wound up in the stick of freshman attack Grace Langella

knew momentum changed,” Bodo said.

“They came into the huddle and said ‘That’s it,’ and they were screaming and yelling and they knew they had them on the ropes.”

Middle Country scored soon after the timeout, and Smithtown West tallied the last two goals of the game, but the Mad Dogs were able to drain some time off the clock.

The Bulls’ comeback effort wasn’t enough to top their undefeated competitors.

Sophomore attack Chelsea Witteck finished with three goals and two assists, while Heldberg and junior midfielder Natalia Lynch tacked on two goals and one assist each.

The Bulls’ 13 goals are the most scored against the Mad Dogs all season, just edging out Ward Melville, which scored 12, and puts them among only three teams to score

in the double digits against Middle Country.

“I think that we needed to figure out what we needed to do quicker in the game before there wasn’t much time left,” Kosubinsky said. “But these girls are amazing and every person has their own role on this team and I think we all work so good together.”

The sophomore midfielder tallied five points off a goal and four assists in the win over Lindenhurst, while Witteck, Heldberg and Lynch each added six points off four goals and two assists apiece.

The Bulls end the regular season with a 12-3 overall record and 10-3 mark in Division I. As the No. 5 seed in the playoffs, Smithtown West will travel to crosstown rival No. 4 Smithtown East on Tuesday, May 19, for a first-round matchup. The opening draw is scheduled for 4 p.m.

BOCES Continued from page A7

10,844 in 2008 and dropped about 250 students per year to 9,704 by 2014, the report said, and school Superintendent James J. Grossane said the Smithtown Board of Education was working diligently to prepare for the shift. The superintendent said the district is bracing for an ongoing dip through the year 2023, when he projects a total enrollment of 7,316.

The BOCES report said Smithtown saw a 26 percent drop in housing sales between 2007 and 2012 but did note sales went up between 2012 and 2013 by 36.2 percent, showing a generally stabilizing market.

Meanwhile, Smithtown’s BOE convened a housing committee in April 2014 comprised of a broad cross section of school community members as well as members of the Smithtown community at large to analyze the district’s future housing needs in light of a continuous decline in enrollment, Grossane said. That committee made various recommendations to the BOE back in March, including closing one elementary school no sooner than the 2016-17 school year but did not specify which one. It also suggested the BOE considered a potential middle school closure for the 2022-23 school year if enrollment continues to decline at its current rate, pending a study from the BOE’s Citizens’ Advisory Committee

TBR

on Instruction and Housing.

The Huntington school district was one of three districts to record enrollment increases between 2013 and 2014 at 1.8 percent alongside Copiague and Wyandanch, bringing its 2014 number up to 4,446 from 4,384 in 2008.

Huntington’s enrollment figures won’t be leading to any closures or openings of schools, Superintendent Jim Polansky said in an interview this week. Compared to the other two districts, Huntington’s increase is relatively stable, he said.

“We’re kind of flat,” he said. “There are a number of other districts that are kind of flat. We’re really not anything out of the ordinary.”

The same could not be said, however, for its neighboring school district in Northport-East Northport, where numbers declined from 6,410 in 2008 to 5,686 in 2014. Enrollment numbers there have prompted a discussion among some school board members about what to do going forward. One board member, Stephen Waldenburg Jr., has suggested it’s possible the district might have to explore closing buildings “That’s a very scary thing,” Waldenburg said in a prior interview. “That’s a traumatic thing for the district.”

Harborfields school district is in the same boat. Enrollment there fell from 3,686 to 3,222 in the same time period.

Also in Cold Spring Harbor school district, enrollment fell from 2,065 to 1,803.

Praise for taking action now

if you haven’t yet read The Post and Courier’s “Till death do us part” series of stories on domestic violence in South Carolina, which won a Pulitzer Prize this year, you should. The opening paragraph sets the tone for the series with a shocking statistic: “More than 300 women were shot, stabbed, strangled, beaten, bludgeoned or burned to death over the past decade by men in South Carolina, dying at a rate of one every 12 days while the state does little to stem the carnage from domestic abuse.” it goes on to say that while “state officials have long lamented the high death toll for women, lawmakers have put little money into prevention programs and have resisted efforts to toughen penalties for abusers.”

The piece is both disturbing and eye-opening, and while South Carolina is different from both New York and the smaller communities of Suffolk County, domestic violence is still a complex issue, and we commend our representatives for not just standing by.

The Suffolk County Legislature unanimously approved a pilot program on Tuesday that would provide 30 new GPS tracking devices for family court judges to assign to offenders with an order of protection against them. The program would also allow victims of domestic violence — if they so choose — to wear their own tracking devices so they may be alerted if an offender is near them.

The legislation is the latest brought forth

by Legislator Kara hahn (d-Setauket) and continues to strengthen county laws relating to domestic violence.

While some may question the use of tracking devices, giving the discretion to judges allows us to evaluate each case on an individual basis. That would hopefully limit the GPS system to the most dangerous offenders and prevent us from violating anyone’s constitutional rights. And 30 devices is a small number when looking at the bigger picture — in 2013, there were more than 1,500 violations of orders of protection in Suffolk County. if assigned appropriately, carefully and conservatively, the devices could help give domestic violence victims a new sense of safety and freedom to live their lives.

Smithtown Supervisor Pat Vecchio says he is against a proposal that would restructure government accountability.

Consider this

To The ediTor: This letter is in response to the May 7, 2015, Times of Smithtown front-page article entitled “Considering commissioners.”

Smithtown Councilman Bob Creighton is reaching out to Suffolk County about the town’s current government setup, stating his plan would reform it. This to me is a double-edged sword. on one side, we have town Supervisor Pat Vecchio, who does not want any reform, as his position is very comfy and probably has been for a long time. on the other hand we certainly need restructuring, but

not by the government.

Anything the government gets involved in, as we all know, does not work. our choice is to consider letting a fat cat like Vecchio remain at his job or put these so called “watchdogs” in place … to do exactly what?

So far accountability has not worked at the highest or lowest levels in our government.

What are the departments these commissioners would be assigned to? it is not mentioned in the article. on a local level there is much to be done, but no one is doing what’s needed to help the homeless find housing, fully repair our roads and infrastructure, do thorough safety checks on our environmental issues, lower

our utilities and property taxes, creation of more local jobs for the suffering middle class … the list goes on.

People like Vecchio, i’m sure, get paid well for doing not much … just like many members of Congress or the too many administrators in the too many school districts on Long island. how can we be assured that these commissioners would do their jobs and ensure accountability? We can’t. This is for the Smithtown residents to decide.

Since i live in Centerport, it’s out of my district, but still applies in theory.

A call for more investment in scientific research

D. None of the above

by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

ruce Stillman is still very determined even if he sounds frustrated. I interviewed the CEO of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory last week when the research institution released, for the first time, a set of numbers indicating the positive economic impact of CSHL on Long Island.

While proud of an institution that has produced eight Nobel Prize winners, Stillman sounded a theme I hear regu-

larly when I interview scientists at CSHL, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University: The country isn’t investing enough in research.

“The reduction in federal funding means we do have to support the institution through philanthropy more than we’ve been doing in the past,” Stillman said. “Hopefully, Congress will realize they should reverse the dramatic reduction in funding in the federal budgets. It doesn’t make any sense.”

Indeed, investments in research around the country make sense on many levels. For starters, many of us have unfortunate direct experience with a deadly disease like cancer, which slowly tears through a person’s body.

We have also witnessed friends who have demonstrated spectacular courage and determination in the face of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or other neurodegenerative diseases.

Inspired by our friends and neighbors, we walk, run or do triathlons and we spend time in church, synagogues and mosques

praying for them and for strangers battling the same affliction.

Scientists aren’t just looking for ways to lessen the symptoms or ease the pain — they’re also working to find signs of the disease before they appear. Angelina Jolie raised awareness of the potential benefits of preventing problems when she elected to have several surgeries.

As their doctors would rush to tell them, people shouldn’t have surgeries just because a famous actress did. Places like CSHL can provide the kind of knowledge that provides information that empowers informed decisions.

“There’s a lot of misinformation on the Internet,” Stillman said. “What the scientific community is trying to do is to make sure the information about genomics and medicine is correct and [people aren’t relying on information] out there that is misleading.”

Beyond the applied science part, however, researchers who are doing basic science often wind up making critical discoveries. By only funding those

projects that might have a direct impact on human health, can and will be too self-limiting. What we learn can and often does help us.

On the other side of that scale, what we don’t know can’t have any impact.

And then there’s the financial benefit. Research often has a multiplier effect, creating jobs, bringing in revenue and supporting the local economy.

“Everybody knows, including politicians, that science is an economic driver,” Stillman said. “If you take away public research funding, you’re basically giving up.”

Stillman said that what’s gone on in the last 15 years in the United States “bucks the trend since World War II, when the U.S. was invested and was a world leader in research.”

Stillman himself, who was born in Australia, has won numerous awards and runs his own DNA lab, said he came to this country because of American leadership in research, but now “things are changing rapidly.

The true gifts of friendship

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

t has been a revolving door at my house, which must mean it is truly spring. I don’t know about you, but as soon as the weather turns beautiful, my dearest friends shake the winter cobwebs out of their systems and call to see if they can visit. The number of calls increases with the rising temperature as we move into summer. I only slightly attribute that to my scintillating personality. I know the real impetus for visiting

is this beautiful place we live in.

They all have bona fide reasons to come here. They have meetings, conferences, cultural events, doctor appointments, dentist appointments and so forth that bring them out from the big city or from other states, or even from the other coast. In the meantime, they get to enjoy the shoreline, the beaches, the docks, and the shops, restaurants and art galleries in the villages, and I get to enjoy them.

They all bring me something.

And I’m not talking about the candy, flowers or wine that are house gifts. They bring me stories about their lives in other places, about their children’s successes and their grandchildren’s brilliance. They bring me news of friends we have in common, so I can catch up on who is doing what. They bring me memories of places and events we’ve shared, for they are usually longtime friends and, therefore, witnesses to my life. And they bring me laughter about outrageous mo-

ments we have known and tears for those whom we have lost.

Most knew my husband, even my father and mother and my brother and sister, all of whom are long gone from this world but who live on in our recollections and in the stories we exchange. And we worry together over friends who are not doing so well and about each other.

We also plan for the future: plays we will get tickets for, meals we will share, museum exhibits that are not to be missed, concerts we will hear, perhaps even trips we will take together. At this time in our lives, we are free enough of familial responsibilities to dare make such plans.

We talk of books we have read, movies we have enjoyed, and experiences we recommend. In so doing, we broaden each other’s lives. We even exchange the names and symbols of equities we have heard promising forecasts about and interesting personal interviews we have caught on television. We are often fear-

less enough to wade into political opinions, even revealing whether we had or had not voted for President Obama and how we think he is doing. Just mention the name Hillary, and the conversation is off and running for the next half hour. Lest you think we support only one party, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush can also be part of the conversation. We cover the political waterfront.

As the day goes on, we might even lay bare some of our worries or shortcomings, offering encouragement to each other in the process, recalling triumphs that belie the worries. We might share recipes, including the men among us, and we brag about all the vegetables we have eaten in the previous 24 hours and how we cooked them.

They share stories about other friends, eventually introducing them and broadening our circle.

this country because there’ll be opportunities elsewhere.”

CSHL, BNL, Stony Brook and LIJ are all huge economic benefits for Long Island, Stillman said.

“Unless this gets reversed,” he warned, “we’ll be in trouble.”

So, what will turn the tide?

“There’ll come a time when one can’t ignore the government role in economic development,” he said. It’s happened before, he argues, as investments in research after World War II helped bring the U.S. out of debt.

As a result future generations benefited enormously — and will do so again.

To pat myself on the back for a moment, I am pleased to have taught a small group of my traveling buddies how to recognize a Guernsey cow, which has orange and white markings, comes from one of the British Channel Islands and gives delicious milk rich in vitamin A. How do I know that?

My father grew up on a dairy farm and shared that vital information with me, explaining how I could distinguish a Guernsey from a Jersey cow, which comes from another of the Channel Islands. How could we go through life not knowing that difference?

So my friends are welcomed with clean sheets and morning coffee. Given all the above, it seems like the least I can do.
