St. James residents debate summer night series By KEViN REddiNg kevin@tbrnewspapers.com An upcoming summer series in St. James aiming to bring attention to the town and businesses within will be held now at two locations after some store owners complained the four nights of fun would halt customer traffic. The Summer Nights series, which will feature live music, food vendors and local artists, was organized by the St. James Civic Association in an effort to bring families together and boost community interaction. The events, held from 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday nights June 28, July 12, July 26 and Aug. 9, will include performances by the Circadian Rhythms, Nick & The Kick, as well as County Line dancers during a special Western-themed night. Those behind it see this as part of an ongoing push to revitalize the hamlet. “We wanted to make an event in town for residents because St. James is, I don’t want to say dead, but it’s very desolate during the summer and for the families that don’t get away, we figured this would be a great family event,” Kerry Maher-Weisse, president of the civic association, who hopes it will become an annual event, said. “When you have towns that have events like this, like Bay Shore and Riverhead, we’re leaving St. James to go to those other towns ... our purpose is to have people stay here in our town and enjoy it and bring other people here to see how great it is.” However, some business owners, whose stores sit in front of the St. James Elementary School on Lake Avenue, the only location where the events were initially planned to be held, weren’t too keen on the

idea of possibly losing out on customers, pointing to a proposed road closure for the event at 4 p.m. as having an impact. Some businesses that voiced concerns over this include Best Pool Service, Eddie’s Power Equipment and St. James Lumber Corp., all located on Lake Avenue. To accommodate residents’ concerns, Maher-Weisse and the civic association will now be hosting the last two nights of the event between 2nd and 3rd Streets, and the Suffolk County Police Department will be contacted about assisting with escorting business owners and customers to and from the business. She added the split locations also serves as a way to accommodate for Lake Avenue’s new construction project, which is slated to begin in July. “Our goal is not to negatively impact any of the businesses or residents,” civic association member Steve Brennan said. “We’re just trying to get people together ... I think we can pull this off so everybody is happy and I’m hoping that everybody else sees it that way too.” However, some residents are still not content. Those on both sides of the issue went back and forth at the May 25 Smithtown Town Board meeting. “I’d like to begin by saying I do not oppose this event but I’m concerned about how the event and road closure will affect my business, which is open from nine to six, throughout the week,” James Best of Best Pool Service on Lake Avenue said. “Our retail store sees customers until 6 and later. Later on Wednesday is one of our busier days of the week. There must be a way to at least lessen the impact they

Smithtown board members listen to residents’ concerns at the last meeting. will have on my business. Perhaps all four events can be held across the train tracks, not only the last two.” Meg Shutka of St. James, whose husband owns Eddie’s Power Equipment in front of the school, agreed all the dates should be held in the alternate location. “I wish the June 28 and July 12 dates would be located there as well,” she said. “This event is tolerated by some of the businesses but not truly embraced. I want it to be clear we are not against the event. We respectfully expect the accommodations to be incorporated.” Kings Park resident Ann Carlin, who owns The Crafter’s Table in St. James, voiced her support for the event and asked how this is different than being inconvenienced for local parades.

“This is finally an opportunity to have people come to St. James, walk down Lake Avenue and by my studio and notice that it exists,” Carlin said. “I’m frustrated that there are businesses on the north side of the tracks that are against this happening.” Victor Noche, a St. James resident, said any lack of customers wouldn’t be drastic on a weeknight. “How much business are owners really going to lose in an hour’s time, if the event prepares at four and most businesses close at five?” Noche said. “I think it’s going to be good for the town and gives businesses an opportunity to promote instead of complain.” The event is expected to be approved June 6, according to the Smithtown Town Board.

gop Continued from page A3 You led us to another split of the Smithtown Republican Party. You don’t know what the heck you’re doing.” Ellis is the current chairman of the Smithtown Republican Committee, and said before the meeting he was confident that many members of the party wanted these changes. “A lot of people support this,” Ellis said in a phone interview. Of the 180 members, Ellis cast proxy votes for dozens. As for the most controversial decision to try and unseat Vecchio, who was supported by the party in each of his previous campaigns over his 39-year tenure running the town, Ellis said he believes it’s the right decision. “[Wehrheim] is the best man for the job,” he said. “The supervisor is 87 years old, and he’s not necessarily functioning like he did in the past.” Ellis said there were several political reasons that led to the decision but would not go into any details. As for the current leader of the town, he’s not swayed at all by the turn of events. “I’m determined to get those signatures and win the primary,” Vecchio said in a phone interview. As for the decision made by Ellis and the leadership Tuesday night,

Vecchio said he certainly doesn’t see it “as an example of a participatory democracy or very democratic at all.” Marlene Wolke, who served as Vecchio’s secretary for many years, nominated him at the convention. “I would be proud to nominate Patrick R. Vecchio who has served this town faithfully for the last 40 years,” she said. “He has done an outstanding job, I was proud to have served under him.” Joanna Betts also spoke in support. “I’m perplexed why we’re doing this when the town is run so finely by him,” she said.

Councilwoman Lynne Nowick speaks out against the leadership; Councilman Tom McCarthy argues with a supporter of the change in regime at the meeting. But regardless of the divide in the party, Wehrheim came out the winner of the night, and thanked members for their support — despite having to wait several minutes for members to stop yelling in protest and calling for him to step down. “I will say that this was a very difficult decision for me,” the councilman said at the meeting. “But I made it on behalf of this committee and the Smithtown com-

munity. I’ve worked 45 years serving this community and I will continue to do so with honor and integrity.” It’s clear this primary will be anything but business as usual. “This is no different than an election in the U.S.S.R, it’s fixed in advance,” McCarthy shouted at the end of the meeting. “Mr. McCarthy I think needs to take a tranquilizer,” Ellis said in response.

EXCELLENCE. WE MAKE AN ISSUE OF IT EVERY WEEK.

The Smithtown Fire Department was called out for a structure fire at 5:56 p.m. on Mother’s Day Sunday, May 14. The fire was located at a ranch on Branch Drive in the Village of the Branch. The Smithtown Fire Department said several reports of flames coming out of the front of the ranch home were reported by neighbors. Residents in the home were able to extricate themselves from the property when the fire started. Units arriving on scene began attacking the fire. A roof crew started venting operations. A primary search of the residence proved negative for any additional people in the home. The fire was brought under control at

6:31 p.m. It caused severe damage to the interior of the ranch. Three of the residents of the home were transported to St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center and Stony Brook University Hospital. There are no current reports on the extent of injuries. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The fire is being investigated by the Smithtown fire marshal. All units were back in quarters at 8:20 p.m. With Mother’s Day holiday celebrations well underway, both the Smithtown Fire Department and mutual aid departments were still able to deploy all the resources needed to control the fire. — Victoria ESPiNoZa

Sugars: How we got to this point Your turn

BY chris zenYuh Throughout our evolution, fruit stood as the primary source of sugars in our diet. That we evolved to desire sweetness, I contend, was not for energy but for the vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants that come with the fruit. The fiber helps slow sugar absorption and reduce its negative metabolic potential, and the vitamins compensate. The limitations of seasonal fruit accessibility made getting too much of these sugars infrequent, at most. Access to purified cane sugar was limited as well, due its tropical origins. The cost of growing and shipping cane sugar slowed its consumption, certainly for those of lesser means. Still, the demand for sugar steadily increased, a fact that the Eng-

lish monarchy used to fund its war chest. William Duffy (in his book “Sugar Blues”) has suggested that the sugar machine was largely behind English colonization and enslavement through the 1800s. Duffy suggests that denying sugar’s responsibility for metabolic dysfunction dates back to Dr. Thomas Willis, private physician to King Charles II. Willis both discovered and named diabetes mellitus. Smart enough to recognize the illness and its sugar-related cause, Willis was also smart enough to name it after “honey” instead of sugar, perhaps to keep his job and his head! Enjoying rations of sugar and rum, tens of thousands of the British sailors who guarded the sugar routes fell ill and died from scurvy. School children are taught that scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency, as it was discovered that the symptoms could be reversed with the addition of citrus to the rations. Sadly, this well-known story promotes the denial of the cause: too much sugar (and rum). Our food, medical and supplement industries continue to promote the use of fortification and vitamin supplements to “protect” against illnesses like scurvy, rather than incur financial loses that would result

new farm bills enabled the farmers to make up their losses (and more) by receiving the subsidies, funded by tax dollars. That made it cheaper to feed cattle corn than to feed them grass and cheaper to sweeten food with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) than with sugar. Americans were now able to purchase foods sweetened with HFCS and corn-fed meat at much cheaper prices than ever before. The cost, of course, does not include the medical expenses that may be incurred from chronic exposure to glucose and fructose, though. The Sugar Association, still burdened with the expense of sugar cane’s tropical origins, has expanded its use of sugar beets to become price competitive in the caloric sweetener market. Farmed and processed in the continental United States, sugar beets are used to sweeten processed foods almost as cheaply as HFCS. If the ingredient label doesn’t specify cane sugar, it may very well be beet sugar. Of course, it is still sucrose. Now you know why caloric sweeteners are omnipresent in our food system and how “food” can be available so cheap. You might want to reconsider the amount that you consume of what nature so frugally offers. Regardless of its source or history, it is metabolically the same!

from curtailed consumption of sugars. The spiraling decline of our general health gained momentum in 1973, when then Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz instituted a 180 degree change in the farm subsidy program. Prior to 1973, farmers were directed by the government to curtail production to keep the supply and demand for corn in check. Sometimes, the farmers were instructed not to grow corn but were compensated for lost income. The restricted supplies kept corn prices high, making it too expensive to use high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. Sugar cane, expensive due to its tropical origins, found itself in a limited range of food products. The new program launched in 1973 rewarded corn farmers for producing as much corn as possible. Soon, the science to produce more corn, then the science to engineer additional uses for the extra corn became big businesses. High fructose corn syrup and cattle feed businesses were early beneficiaries of the new system. The ranchers and corn refiners lobbied to pay below cost for corn. Corn farmers would lose money, but, the

Suffolk County district attorney candidates emerging

SCPD police comissioner, Huntington criminal lawyer, and veteran/prosecutor to fight By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewsmedia.com On the heels of Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota’s (D) decision to forgo Page A22 a run at a fifth term this November, two Republicans and a Democrat, each longtime law enforcers, so far are publicly vying for the county’s top prosecutor job. Spota, who assumed office in 2001, made his official announcement May 12, about a year after County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and several legislators called on him to resign from his position after playing a role in the promotion of former Suffolk County Chief of Police James Burke, who pleaded guilty in February 2016 to charges of a civil rights violation and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Accused of taking part in a police cover-up, which spurred on a federal investigation, Spota has been under scrutiny from both sides of the aisle for the last year. It is not clear whether or not that played a role in his decision. With Spota out of the race, the torch will be passed on to a newcomer, of which there are three known contenders eyeing the seat — Ray Perini (R), former chief and founder of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Narcotics Bureau; Bill Ferris (R), a Vietnam veteran and former assistant district attorney; and Tim Sini (D), current Suffolk County police commissioner — according to the Suffolk County Board of Elections. Each of them, as well as any others who decide to throw their hat in the ring, are expected to file petitions between July 10 and July 13. Perini, 69, a Huntington resident, who entered the race in January, said he’s been training his entire career to be district attorney and wants to “take politics out of the DA’s office.” “At this point in my career, I don’t want anything else,” Perini said. “I don’t want to be county executive, I don’t want to be governor, I don’t want to be judge ... I want to be the next DA because I can make this county safe again.” A highly experienced criminal lawyer with an active practice in Islandia, Perini has 43 years of experience in the criminal justice system, 17 of which were spent as a prosecutor bouncing from Brooklyn to Suf-

From left, Bill Ferris, Tim Sini and Ray Perini are currently the three known candidates for Suffolk County district attorney. folk County, where he started the Narcotics Bureau in 1976. In 1989, he went on to work with federal and state police agencies, including Suffolk County Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI and drug task forces. He served as co-chair of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association’s criminal law committee and is a past president of the Suffolk County Criminal Bar Association. “There is nothing I haven’t done in the criminal justice system,” Perini said. His major focuses if elected, he said, are gang violence and drug overdoses. “As a united front, working with the federal government, DEA, FBI and cops on the street, collectively, we can win this war [against drugs]. We need experience, this is what I’ve done, this is what I can do. All I care about is getting the job done.” Perini ran unsuccessfully against Spota four years ago after the incumbent was cross-endorsed on all four party lines, for which Perini attacked Spota for not giving voters a choice at the polls. “I wouldn’t accept a cross-endorsement,” the father of two said. “I want the voters to pick.” Ferris, 70, a former Navy captain in the Vietnam war and Fordham Law School graduate from Southold, announced recently his intention to run against Perini, the choice of the Republican Party for the September primary. “I want to restore the integrity and professionalism to the office, as well as faith in the judicial system and also in law enforcement,” Ferris, who served as prosecutor

for 23 years under former Suffolk District Attorney Patrick Henry starting in 1978, said. “My background is clear and clean. I was in that office for 23 years and handled homicide, vehicular homicide, served on the Katie Beers [kidnapping] matter, tried a political corruption case against county sheriff Patrick Mahoney, served as president of the Suffolk County Bar Association recently, have taught young lawyers ethics and served on the Grievance Committee for Nassau and Suffolk for eight years.” He said anyone who runs for the DA position has to have a clean record of integrity, accountability and professionalism, all of which the father of two said he has. Among his biggest priority if elected, he said, is getting a handle on the gang situation that has left Suffolk residents feeling unsafe. “I’ll protect the citizens, fight the gangs and give us back our good name,” Ferris said in a statement. “While I was in the DA office, we did have a gang unit, which was discounted under Mr. Spota … The DA’s office is in a critical position to bring in federal agency, state, and local police to put together a master plan to both investigate and prosecute gang members. Parents are afraid on a daily basis to send their kids to school and that should not happen in Suffolk County.” Sini, 36, the youngest commissioner in the history of Suffolk County, announced his official run for the job on the same day Spota made his announcement, despite a claim in front of the county legislature in February 2016 before he was confirmed

that he had no intentions of running for district attorney. “I think that when he said that he wouldn’t run, he meant what he said,” said David Kelley, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and chairman of Sini’s campaign. “Since then, a couple things have happened. Having the insight he does on the needs of the DA’s office and how the shape it’s in is so bad and such a disservice to the county, he could see that firsthand from his vantage point as commissioner from taking on difficult cases like MS-13, recognizing this office needs somebody who can be really good ... he stepped up to the plate and I think that’s exactly what we need.” Sini, who did not return multiple requests for comment through Kelley, has taken on the county’s gang violence and drug problem head-on in his short time in his position. He recently spoke before the U.S. Senate to outline the departments initiatives in tackling the county’s gang problem. “If you take his commitments to public service and his professionalism, and put it together, he, by far, surpasses any of the other candidates and I think he’s exactly what the county needs,” Kelley said. “He’s a professional prosecutor, he’s spent a good part of his career in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, he’s clerked for a federal judge, he’s a highly skilled and highly trained lawyer and prosecutor, and he also knows the ins and outs of the criminal justice system in Suffolk County.”

It was a royal affair to remember as second-graders at Dogwood Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District held a Fairy Tale Ball on May 23. As a culminating activity in their study of

fairy tales, the students dressed as their favorite fairy tale characters for the occasion. After spending weeks learning about the characteristics of fairy tales, writing different endings to fairy tales and analyzing the characters, the second-graders performed their fairy tales for invited guests.

Goldilocks on trial

Fifth-grade classes at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District were introduced to inner workings of the country’s legal system thanks to the Trials of Goldilocks, presented by Hofstra University law professor Glen Vogel. Sponsored by the PTA’s Arts in Education Program, the presentation introduces students to the basic elements of the legal

system, particularly constitutional rights, the workings of the court system and the elements of a criminal trial. The program chronicles the arrest and trial of Goldilocks, who has been charged with petit larceny, trespassing and criminal mischief. Mt. Pleasant fifth-graders portrayed the main characters and courtroom personnel, while the judge and jury consisted of fourth-grade teachers and students who decided Goldilocks’ fate.

Memorial Day

On Saturday morning, May 28 in honor of all the men and women who serve in our Armed Forces, Suffolk County hosted an event to honor these brave men and women. A whole host of people gathered to pay tribute to veterans and current service members. Leg. Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) was among those who took part in the ceremonies honoring our brave men and women who defend our freedoms. The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 11, AMVETS Massapequa, and the Central LI Chapter of Korean War Veterans Association posted the colors, and afterwards Leg. Tom Barraga (R-West Islip), a Marine veteran, recited the Pledge of Allegiance. The keynote speaker of the event was director of the NYS Division of Veter-

ans’ Affairs Eric Hesse, a retired US Army colonel. Hesse spoke about the importance of taking care of veterans after they return home, and the sacrifices they have made to keep our country safe. “The sacrifices that our American heroes make are enormous,” said Kennedy. “I am proud to be an American because of the hard work and sacrificial service of our Armed Forces, the United States would not be the country it is today without the sacrifices that our military service men and women make every day. I am also proud of all that we do here at home in Suffolk County to help our veteran population, I want to thank Tom Ronayne, the director of Suffolk County Veterans Services Agency, and Fred Sganga, the director of the Long Island State Veterans Home, as well as all the other organizations who are working hard for our veterans.”

In a change of pace, Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) spent time flipping burgers and making fries at the White Castle in Commack in celebration of National Burger Month. She was invited by manager Meybi Fernandez and assisted by members of the White Castle staff, who taught her the tricks of the trade in terms of creating the perfect White Castle burger. The White

Castle on the corner of Jericho Turnpike and Commack Road has served the community for well over 25 years, as well as serving as a landmark to all Long Islanders. For years this restaurant has provided an avenue for locals to work, hang out or simply to drive through and pick up a quick snack, and its employees include both young and old. “I’m thankful to the staff at White Castle for giving me the chance to work with such hardworking men and women,” Kennedy said.

Marie Andina

Marie Andina, a long-time resident of Zephyrhills, Riverview, and Valrico, Florida, passed away May 11 in Zephyrhills. She was born on Flag Day, June 14th, 1942 in Queens. She was preceded in death by her father Albert Schneider in 1993, mother Anna Schneider in 1997, and daughter Kory Lee Andina in 2009. She grew up in Bellerose (Queens) and Deer Park, graduating from Babylon High School. Andina studied art and illustration at SUNY-Farmingdale. She met Norman, her future husband while they worked at Airborne Instruments Labs in Farmingdale. A strong courtship was followed by their marriage on March 14, 1965. They enjoyed many trips on their Harley motorcycles in the New York/New England area. Living in Hauppauge for 24 years, they raised their children, Karl, Lara, and Kory Lee. Andina earned her teacher’s certificate from SUNY-Empire and worked as a teacher’s assistant for special needs students at Hauppauge Middle School. She was also a substance abuse counselor and a trained Stephens Minister for Saint Andrews Lutheran Church in Smithtown. Andina was very active in the Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations. As the Scout Master’s wife of Hauppauge’s Boy Scout Troop 343 and the 1985 National Scout Jamboree Troop 429, she became the troop mother of many scouts. She also earned her wood badge training beads in 1984. She was the editor of the Bretton Woods Elementary School PTA bulletin in the 1980s. Her home was an open door for anyone who arrived and she became a second mom to countless youths. Following a change in her husband’s employment in 1989, the family moved to

Valrico, Florida. She had a wonderful spirit that could light up a room. She devoted much of her time and energy to her family, loved ones and daughter Kory (who left everyone too early at age 34). Andina had a lifelong love and passion for all sorts of crafts and paint media. Her skill and talent will be remembered. She also loved teaching or helping anyone who asked. Her abilities were varied and she would provide instructions in almost any craft from painting, sketching, knitting, crocheting and quilting. Hobby Lobby and Michaels were some of her best shopping locations and the Sunday ads were required reading. She enjoyed making lap robes and baby blankets and donating them to hospice. She was an active member of several art clubs and was the chairperson for the craft committee at the Tropical Acres Estates in Zephyrhills. She is survived by her loving family including Norman, her husband of 52 years, son Karl (Nancy) of California, daughter Lara (Anthony) of Long Island; grandchildren Zachary, Harrison, and Savanna of Long Island; step-grandchildren Sean (Katie) Smith and Shannon (Michael) Brandow of California; sisters-in-law Pat Shultz of Florida and Kathy (William) Lane of Ohio; niece Linda (Jerry) Paradise of Florida and nephew Brad (Amy) Cormier of Ohio; three great-grandchildren (Keria, Sullivan and Ender) and 6 grandnieces and nephews (Heather, Emma, Conner, Aidan, Jack and Kathleen). A celebration of life will take place in New York during July and in Florida during October. Memorial gifts may be made to Hernando-Pasco Hospice, 37439 Clinton Avenue, Dade City, Florida 33525.

East bests West in Smithtown semifinal clash By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tBrnewspapers.com Jason Lambert told his team to weather the storm. Not only literally, as rain fell through the thick fog during Smithtown East’s Class A semifinal game May 25 against their in-district rivals, but because he knew that Smithtown West was going to push for a comeback. East was leading West 7-2 heading into the fourth quarter, and despite West scoring three goals to cut down the margin, Connor DeSimone drained time off the clock, and held it during the final sec-

East 7 West 5

onds to secure a 7-5 win for East. The senior said his team knew it had to adopt a different strategy to seal the deal. “That was definitely the game plan coming in — we were going to hold the ball,” he said. “We knew that if the ball was in our stick, we couldn’t lose. So we didn’t mind holding the ball during five or six minutes of good possession at a time without scoring.” Lambert said the other main objective was to value the ball, and he liked that his team accomplished that goal — using it to capitalize on early scoring chances. DeSimone and senior Luke Eschbach went back-to-back with unassisted goals, and then assisted on each other’s shots in East’s 4-1 first quarter. “We’ve been playing together since we were five years old and we always find each other through the field,” Eschbach said. “He knows where I am, I know where he is without even looking, and he always finds the void.” DeSimone said he knows his longtime teammate’s skills and wants to find him when he can. “He’s an awesome shooter, a great player, and I know when I find him on the through ball, he’s going to put it in the back of the net like we’ve been doing all year,” he said. DeSimone said the team was concerned about West’s faceoff man Conor Calderone and goalkeeper Ryan Erler. “We weren’t letting [Ryan] Erler make

the saves, who played great today,” he said, although Erler still made 12 stops, including back to back saves in the game’s final seconds. “I knew possession was crucial. They out-possessed us by two times the amount we had the ball, so knowing that we knew we had to value the ball, we had to take the best shot, not the first shot.” Both teams went scoreless over a 20-minute span, before DeSimone found senior Dominic Pizzulli. “We weren’t nervous at all,” DeSimone said of the drought. “It’s one play at a time. We’re not looking for home runs — there’s no superheroes on the team — if we all look out for each other and play team ball it’s going to be hard to beat us.” Danny Riley scored twice for West, sandwiched around a goal by Jimmy Caddigan, to make it 7-5 with 7:23 left. “We just had to make sure to manage their comeback and not give them all the momentum,” Lambert said. West’s Brian Herber won the ensuing faceoff, and East continued draining the clock. “Sometimes we have letdowns, but this team knows we have ups and downs, and every single person on this team never gives up on each other,” Eschbach said. “We always stay positive, so when we lose a couple of ground balls, get a flag here and there to go a man down, we always come back and pull through.” DeSimone said he is just happy to have

Eschbach said he’d love nothing more than another county championship win over Ward Melville, like the Bulls had two years ago. “I wanted to get here so bad my senior year,” he said. “We need to possess the ball — not throw it away. If our defense plays the way it did today, I think we’ll have a very strong shot at taking that game.” Smithtown East faced Ward Melville in the county championship game at Stony Brook University May 31, but results were not available by press time.

Supporting Sini’s successes An easy way to honor our vets File photo

Tim Sini has stabilized what was a seriously unstable situation. The former prosecutor turned Suffolk County police commissioner took over following former commissioner James Burke’s arrest and ultimate sentencing for unjustly beating a man who stole a duffle bag from his sport utility vehicle and overhauled the department. Sini brought back the public’s faith in the police. He announced last week that he will run for Suffolk County district attorney. Since his role began in 2015, he has helped expand Crime Stopper’s reach to include a tip hotline; rolled out the 631-852-NARC number where residents can anonymously report drug dealings; unveiled The Ugly Truth program, which raise awareness about and informs parents of the signs of substance abuse, as well as explains the physical and emotional consequences of using drugs; and helped train 3,000 people to administer Narcan, an opioid overdose reversal drug. Sini also reported last year was the safest year in the department’s history, with crime statistics dropping to an all-time low. The current commissioner’s reign has also brought in a period of increased transparency, holding press events sometimes multiple times a week for updates on cases, constantly refreshing the department’s Facebook page with videos and information about arrests, and encouraging residents to get involved by submitting tips that have successfully lead to many arrests. In two short years Sini has made his mark on the Suffolk County Police Department, and it’s a shame to see the captain leave the ship, especially at a time when steady leadership is needed most, as MS13 gang violence has garnered national attention in recent months, as with the opioid and fentanyl crisis. It’s unclear who would replace Sini if he is elected this November, but he or she will certainly have big shoes to fill. And on a side note, we have heard concerns about Sini running for office while continuing to work as commissioner. It’s our opinion that if the president of this country can run for re-election while continuing to serve, a local police commissioner should have no problem doing the same.

Every day, around the world, our United States Armed Forces stand ready to protect our freedoms, our democracy and our way of life. They risk their lives for our country and, thanks to philanthropic support, we at Long Island State Veterans Home (LISVH) stand ready in return. We are honored to care for the valiant men and women who ensure our nation’s safety — the brave who today bear the scars of sacrifice and com-

mitment. Today, we ask you to help us pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country. Without question, gifts from people like you fuel our promise to veterans. And so this Memorial Day, we invite you to join in our commitment to stand ready for them. As you consider making a commitment to the Long Island Veterans Home, know that you have the opportunity to honor a

loved one or simply make a gift to commemorate our nation’s heroes past, present and future. Also know, along with the veterans we serve, you too have earned our lasting gratitude. Thank you for all that you have already done and continue to do. Your support at any level will be a source of inspiration for all of us who live and work here.

Fred S. Sganga Executive Director Long Island State Veterans Home

Paying tribute to those fallen Memorial Day is a day when we give thanks to those who have bravely fought and sacrificed their lives in defense of our freedoms and liberties. Let us join together in solemn remembrance to honor the tireless guardians who made the ultimate sacrifice. These heroes selflessly safeguarded the eternal values that we too often take for granted as Americans. All good things come with a price, and liberty is no exception. The cost of freedom was paid for by the lives of our fallen soldiers, and their sacrifice must always be held in the highest regard. As a nation, we can never forget the courageous deeds of our service members. Regardless of one’s views on a particular conflict or one’s positions on aspects of foreign policy, on Memorial Day,

we come together as a nation to honor all who fought for our freedom to possess such dissents. It is the brave soldiers who departed our nation, away from the safety of their home and comfort of their family, to whom we owe our highest respect and admiration. The United States is the greatest nation on Earth because of the courageous men and women who stood in the line of fire to protect us. At a time when the world has become vulnerable to the threat of violence, fear and intimidation, it is so important that we give our service members our unyielding gratitude for all they have done for us. These heroes deserve to know that, after returning home from conflict, they will be greeted with the care and

support from a grateful nation, respect that they have so remarkably earned. It is because of their selfless acts that we are able to call ourselves Americans, a distinction that not only expresses what country we are a part of or our sacred bond of national unity but also who we are as a nation that makes us the greatest country in the world. Our nation is nothing without the courageous sacrifices of our military members, and every single one of us should be eager to give our respect to all who came before us and paid the ultimate price, as well as all those who are still serving today. God bless America and our service members.

OpiniOn Taking old routines to new destinations

e all have our routines. We go to certain restaurants, drive certain routes to work and support certain gas stations, where we know we’ll get a competitive price, a friendly response from the attendant and rapid service. When we travel, everything changes. We sleep in unfamiliar beds, flick the channels on television stations where the stations aren’t the same numbers as they are on Long By Daniel Dunaief Island, and navigate along routes that aren’t our familiar pattern. Breaking the routine offers us a chance to step away from our lives and to experience something new. Maybe we’ll go to a museum in a new city

D. None of the above

or visit a place we’ve seen in a movie, which blends both the familiar and the unknown. Our level of adventure and appetite for risk — as in, what happens if I don’t like the experience — can rise or fall depending on our travel companions. Recently, I visited another city for a weekend with my daughter, who was traveling with a group of her teenage contemporaries and their parents. We all managed to get to our designated stops in our cars and to return to a hotel chain so ubiquitous that, with the blinds closed and without access to the local weather on TV, we could have been in Anywhere, USA. We each had a GPS and an address for our activities which reduced both the stress and the adventure that came from the unknown. While we could have gotten lost, the probability of that seemed slim. Getting lost, nerve-racking as it might have been 20 years ago, is almost an impossibility with navigation systems built into cars, phones and watches.

Following an afternoon activity, several of the girls decided they were hungry. One of the members of the group suggested a national pizza chain, to which the others readily agreed. I wrinkled my brow at the suggestion and wondered, as a cellphone order was quickly placed, whether we might want to try a local pizza restaurant instead. “No, that’s OK,” I was assured. “This will be better.” I waited in a packed car until the order was placed, at which point the girl in the back transferred the address to her mother, who was riding shotgun during my weekend away with my daughter. “Honey,” the mom said, “are you sure you dialed the closest restaurant?” “Yes,” the daughter grumbled, shaking her head at her mother. “I just checked the address for this restaurant and it’s two hours from here. You sure you want a pizza that far away?” “Wait, what?” the daughter said, double-checking the address and the

phone. Sure enough, the restaurant was on the other side of the state. “Wait, before you order from a closer one,” I said, as she was already searching her phone for a nearby restaurant, “we’re sitting right outside a pizza restaurant. Don’t you want to try this one?” “No, thanks,” she said, trying to be polite to someone else’s parent. “We want this one.” When we got to the closer restaurant, we ran into another parent who was picking up pizza for his family. With so many other local choices, how did both families make the identical choice? I suppose they might have discussed their food preference during the day. That was unlikely, given the social split in the group. Alternatively, they have become so accustomed to the familiar that they prefer it, even when traveling. I suppose when the opportunity for something new and different knocks, people don’t always feel the urge to answer the door.

the recent article in the Times: “Planning to Age in Place? Find a Contractor Now” by Paula Span. At this point, with about 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, it would make the most sense for every new house to be constructed according to what is termed “universal design.” Such homes would have bathroom grab bars, higher toilets, curbless showers, widened doorways and added lighting. Such features would promote independence for the disabled and older people. There are other associations that offer similar certification programs. Certified Living in Place Professional program is one such. Local agencies on aging and senior centers may also give this kind of information. What seems to work best is if an occupational therapist and a CAPS, or equivalently trained graduate, team up to interview each homeowner and determine what is most needed. Costs for these modifications can be a problem. There is little government help for such remodeling, with the exception of the Department of Veterans Affairs and perhaps Medicaid. Some states do offer tax credits but not many.

Mostly such alterations are privately financed, despite the potential savings from staying at home. A bipartisan bill was introduced in Congress last year for a $30,000 federal tax credit, but to date it has gone nowhere. Approximate costs could run as follows, according to Bawden: two grab bars installed for $200-$300; replace doorknobs with lever handles $60-$90; for every relocated electrical outlet or switch, $175-$250. Those are the smaller costs. Then there is replacing a tub with a roll-in shower at $8,000$10,000, and an entirely new bathroom with universal design elements for more than $25,000. The biggest hurdle of all may be to get older residents to feel that they need such modifications. At the least, kitchen floors might be textured rather than covered with tiles that are slippery when wet; the color of the kitchen counters might contrast with the color of the floor as the more elderly lose depth perception; front edges of stairs could be outlined with colored tape; freezers are safer in a pullout drawer at the bottom of a refrigerator — and, for Pete’s sake, get rid of those muchbeloved throw rugs.

Home sweet home into old age

f you were to ask those of us of a certain age, we would insist that we want to age in place. That is, we want to continue to live in our houses, cook in our kitchens and sleep in our bedrooms. This is a worthy goal for it saves family and the government a lot of money. Statistics have shown that hospitalization and nursing homes are far more costly than living at By Leah S. Dunaief home. Still, we also know that more accidents happen in the home, and that means continuing to live at home presents certain challenges. The greatest hazard, it would seem, is for older adults to fall. Now, and for the last score of years, there are programs with certifications that train people how to make homes safer, especially for preventing falls. For example,

Between you and me

the National Association of Home Builders offers a course that trains CAPS: certified aging in place specialists. These may be builders, remodelers, occupational therapists or interior designers who can come into a home and make suggestions for retrofitting. There are 3,500 such specialists but Dan Bawden, from Houston, who helped develop the program in 2001, told The New York Times there are 10 times as many needed to upgrade such homes. The highest rate of home ownership in the country, some 80 percent, is by older people, and the great majority of us are in single-family homes. The three most important features allowing residents to move around safely are: to have an entrance without steps; to live on a single floor; and to have hallways and doorways wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard, less than 4 percent meet that description. And if further features are thrown in, like doors with lever handles — rather than knobs — plus light switches and electric outlets that can be reached from a wheelchair, that rate falls to 1 percent, according to
