Smithtown FD rescues mother and kids from house fire By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Smithtown Fire Department responded to a smoke detector alarm coming from a residence in the early hours last Tuesday, Aug. 24. The department got to a home on Sterling Lane at 3:11 a.m. Smithtown Third Assistant Chief Patrick Diecidue observed heavy smoke coming from the residence and quickly upgraded the call to a working structure fire. With the possibility of residents in the home, Diecidue, along with the first responders on the scene, took out the front door and immediately proceeded to search the house. They were able to quickly remove a three-year-old girl from a bedroom and brought the child out for medical attention. Additional arriving units continued the search and found a mother and her 3-month-old infant son on the bathroom floor. They were removed from the residence, and the department said they had inhaled a considerable amount of smoke and were in cardiac arrest. While firefighters said the smoke was heavy, the fire was limited and quickly brought under control. Members of the Hauppauge, Kings Park, St. James, and Nesconset fire departments responded to the scene to help, as well as the Central Islip-Hauppauge Volunteer

Kings Park Central School District is continuing its commitment to the environment by introducing more propane buses to the school’s fleet. Last year, the district joined a handful of Long Island school districts in going green for transportation in the form of propanefueled school buses. Thanks to the support of the community, Kings Park expanded its fleet of propane buses from four to eight for the start of the new school year. Supervisor Timothy Eagen said the additional buses will help the district cut costs and contribute positively to the environment. ““For the second year in a row, the community overwhelmingly supported the purchase,” he said in a statement. “This choice is yet another way that the school district is looking to save taxpayers money. The transition to propane has gone very well for us, and I look forward to continuing this initiative.” The purchase of the buses was a separate voting proposition in this past May’s budget vote.

The old diesel buses, originally purchased 15 to 20 years ago, were traded in for $2,500 each. The district owns a fleet of about 60 buses, and it is necessary to purchase buses on an annual basis to maintain the fleet. Propane is seen as a positive alternative fuel for school buses because it is widely available and costs significantly less than diesel or gasoline. The newest propane engine technology is considerably more cost efficient, quieter, requires less maintenance and is more ecofriendly than either diesel or gas. In cold weather, diesel engines need to idol for 30 minutes or longer to achieve the proper engine temperature prior to operation. This means wasting gas and paying workers overtime to warm up the bus fleet on cold days. This is not necessary with propane engines. Moving forward, the administration said it intends to continue to slowly replace its fleet with propane buses. Eagen said the district will always need a few diesel buses however, for longer sports and extracurricular trips. “Propane is a fuel that is currently not readily available at gas stations,” he said.

Stony Brook, Mount Sinai team up to expand science centers By Talia amorosano Two major medical institutions have agreed to team up, and the partnership could lead to big scientific breakthroughs. In order to create more academic research opportunities and streamline and expand clinical care initiatives, Stony Brook Medicine and Mount Sinai Health System have entered into a comprehensive affiliation agreement. The change will promote interinstitution collaboration encompassing all five of Stony Brook’s Health Science schools, Stony Brook University Hospital, all 25 academic departments of the Stony Brook University School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Health System facilities and Medical School, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, inclusive of seven hospitals and an expanding ambulatory network. Facilitators of the partnership believe that the expansion of clinical trials and research opportunities for both institutions will prompt research that could lead to major discoveries, like in treatment and understanding of disease. Dr. Kenneth Kaushansky, senior vice president for Health Sciences at Stony Brook University, said the alliance will make use of the strengths of each individual institution. In a press release, he noted Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine for its strong biomedical, clinical research and health policy expertise and Stony Brook University for its advanced mathematics, high-performance computing, and physical and chemical science departments to illustrate the point that these institutions can accomplish more to-

gether than each can do alone. “In the long term, we’re going to roll out more and more in the way of clinical interactions,” said Kaushansky, who mentioned Stony Brook’s recent recruitment of two new cardiac surgeons from Mount Sinai. “We don’t do heart transplants, but Mount Sinai does.” He emphasized the new potential for patients to seek services from either hospital. In fact, joint research programs on biomedical engineering, medicinal chemistry science, neurology and more are currently in the works. In terms of education, university students will now be afforded the unique opportunity to take classes offered on either or both campuses, and participate in a variety of summer programs. The two schools plan to facilitate joint graduate and medical educational programs in a wider range of subjects, and have agreed to invest a collaborative $500,000 for the development of challenging pilot programs. “The joint pilots in research have immense promise to advance health at the most exciting time in the biomedical sciences, including advanced computational, bioinformatic and engineering approaches,” said Lina Obeid, M.D., dean for research and vice dean for scientific affairs at Stony Brook University School of Medicine. “Stony Brook Medicine and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are two powerhouses of research that when partnered will definitely yield more than just the sum of their parts.” Other institution leaders expressed similar enthusiasm about the affiliation, which was effective upon signing, and many have verbalized

Charney sign off on the partnership. hopes that groundbreaking research will take place as a result of the strategic partnership. Dr. Kenneth L. Davis, president and chief executive officer of the Mount Sinai Health System, said that together, Mount Sinai and Stony Brook can create changes in medicine. Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr. agreed. “Each institution has so much to offer,” he said. “This is an opportunity that will prove to be beneficial to all — now and in the future — as we explore and grow.” Looking ahead, Kaushansky said that Stony Brook has more affiliation agreements in the works, contingent upon state approval.

“We are working very hard with our friends in the state of New York to get approval for affiliation with Southampton Hospital and Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport,” he said. Also pending is a potential partnership with John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson. “In April, Mather Hospital asked a number of health care systems — us included — whether they were interested in affiliating, and we said yes,” Kaushansky said. “We made a proposal to the Mather hospital board.” He said Mather was supposed to decide in June, and said Mount Sinai is still waiting.

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com A 76-year-old veteran from Islip committed suicide Sunday, Aug. 21, in the parking lot of the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center, according to news sources. Peter A. Kaisen was pronounced dead at the scene, and according to Northport VA Director Philip Moschitta, in a letter to U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), the body was found next to his car in parking lot I on the campus. Moschitta said an employee of the VA found the body lying on the pavement, and the Northport Police Department, Suffolk County Police Department and FBI responded to the scene. Moschitta also said there is no record of Kaisen entering the emergency room that day, and that during the 12 minutes he spent at the VA, he didn’t appear to leave the parking lot, as shown on video surveillance. Multiple news sources have reported that Kaisen was denied service, but Veterans Affairs denies the veteran sought medical attention, although they said the investigation is ongoing. “Our staff of medical professionals would never turn away an individual who required any level of health care,” Moschitta said in the letter. “We have not found any evidence that the veteran sought assistance from any of our staff, including visiting the emergency room that day. It appears the details of the tragic incident may have been misrepresented in the media coverage.” Zeldin, a veteran himself, said the loss is heartbreaking. “The loss of even a single veteran in America due to suicide is one too much,” he said in a statement. “Unfortunately, throughout our country, every day 22 veterans take their own life. It is so important to have the best possible understanding as to why these suicides keep happening. For me personally, I have lost more people I know

due to suicide than in combat. Our veterans are returning home feeling isolated and alone and feeling like their family, friends and colleagues at work don’t understand what it is that they are going through. What is especially tragic, especially here in Suffolk County, is that a veteran will feel isolated and alone even though there are literally thousands of others throughout our county who would move heaven and Earth to shower a veteran in need with love, appreciation and support.” Zeldin said that it’s important to note that even though Kaisen’s death was a result of suicide, there are many incidents of veterans whose deaths are incorrectly labeled suicide. “PFC Joseph Dwyer’s last words when he passed away in 2008 were ‘I don’t want to die.’ He was looking for temporary relief to escape his pain, but he wasn’t looking to leave behind a young widow and 2-yearold daughter.” Dwyer is known around the country for a famous photo of him carrying a young ailing Iraqi boy during combat. Dwyer’s legacy led to the creation the PFC Joseph Dwyer Veterans Peer Support Program, which provides a safe, confidential and educational platform where all veterans are welcome to meet with other veterans in support of each other’s successful transition to postservice life. “This program should be in every county in the United States,” Zeldin said. “Losing one veteran as a result of suicide is unacceptable. As investigations into this suicide continue, I will continue to aggressively stay on top of this situation. What is so incredibly important to me and for others is to identify any specific ways at all that this veteran was underserved, so that it can be immediately and completely corrected in order for something very positive to result from this very tragic event. Every time a veteran takes his or her own life, the system has failed.”

Residents lend a paw to support service dogs for vets By Sara GinG The dog days summer were far from over Aug. 29 in Huntington. The 7th Annual VetDogs Golf Classic kicked off at Huntington Country Club on Monday, and since its inception in 2009, the tournament has raised more than $1 million for the Smithtown nonprofit organization, which trains service dogs and places them with veterans and first responders. This year alone, the Golf Classic has raised [EXACT NUMBER TBA] for America’s VetDogs.

Your College Future

The problem with following college rankings Your turn

BY RYan DeVito A certain manufactured meritocracy exists in the United States. Success has become indelibly connected to elite college education in the minds of parents and students. Consequently, a student’s potential is dictated by his or her triumphs in the college arena. The logic goes like this: the higher an institution is ranked by U.S. News & World Report, the better a student is and the better their life will be. College ranking systems are psychological demons. Thousands of data points tell a story that, year after year, paints a skewed picture of higher education. These ranking systems use algorithms to transform a host of statistics about one school into a single score. Students often use this score to make college decisions.

The existing ranking systems attempt to compare completely disparate institutions on one inflexible scale. As a result, The Ohio State University can be compared to Pepperdine University. The former is an enormous public university in the middle of a large city; the latter is a small private Christian college perched above the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by mountains. Essentially opposites, U.S. News & World Report tells us that these schools are the same. Ohio State and Pepperdine scored the same in the rankings algorithm. But these institutions are impossible to compare. Ohio State dominates downtown Columbus with nearly 60,000 students and another 20,000 staff members — all spread across dozens of various colleges, schools and departments. How could you possibly reduce the complexity that is The Ohio State University down to one solitary number? College ranking systems fail to take into account the intangibles that make a college great. Academic reputation — among leadership at peer institutions — and faculty resources are the two variables given the greatest weight in the U.S. News ranking algorithm. The weight on these variables creates an obvious skew toward the well-endowed private universities that consistently grace the top of the rankings list. Rankings drive reputation

the college ranking system fails to take into account the intangibles of a university.

and funding, and so a glass ceiling forms that keeps lower-ranked schools from every establishing their brands. But these variables tell us nothing about the ability of the institution and its faculty to inform and inspire students. Students who are engaged and encouraged in their learning are better off. So the ability of professors to get their students ex-

cited about learning is much more important than how much research funding they have. The extent to which professors care about their students as people and are willing to act as mentors has a major bearing on the student’s potential for engagement. These are the intangibles that college rankings system could never take into account. Of course, top-ranked institutions can offer these intangibles. My point, though, is that you can be engaged and encouraged anywhere. There are obvious flaws in the college ranking systems that we all too often rely on when making college decisions. A great college experience is not limited to the top of any ranking’s list. Success after college is not dictated by the ranking of the college you attend. Rather than depending on any murky ranking system, search for the college that has the greatest potential to inform, inspire and challenge you personally. Four years of engaged learning are more valuable than any ranking on its own. And it’s the engaged student, not necessarily the elite student, who has the potential to achieve the greatest success after graduation.

50th anniversary for lifesavers Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps celebrated its 50th anniversary Aug. 20 with a parade, barbecue and fireworks. Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) presented members with a proclamation to commemorate their longevity of service to this community. Community-minded individuals founded CVAC in 1966 to address the emergency medical needs of the area, which was growing quickly into the suburban enclave it is today. The first vehicle they purchased in 1966 was an old style Cadillac ambulance. By 1973 the organization had adopted

a 24-hour response system so that no matter what the hour, someone was always on call. By 1980 they had added a youth squad of about 40 teenagers, and now, 36 years later, it still has a very active youth squad. Today they operate four advanced life support ambulances and five advanced life support first responder trucks that run 24/7. They respond to more than 3,300 alarms per year. In addition to medical emergencies CVAC is active in the community, teaching CPR and first aid to the public. CVAC also hosts a 5k run and a toy drive.

said the defender has made some great strides over the last two years, and expects him to have his best year. For Erny, a threeyear starter, Lips said he’ll be used as a utility player, moving to wherever the team needs him most in a given game. “He’s talented enough to play everywhere,” the head coach said. Erny credits his coach for the team’s

Boys’ soccer Continued from page A12 dominating records over the years. “Coach knows what he’s doing and always knows what we need to do to keep going and succeed,” he said. The senior said he knows the team will have to put in extra effort this season though, to maintain it’s standing. “We’re definitely going to have to work a lot harder than last year, because we’re looking like a smaller team. Right now, we’re just trying to figure out what the right spots are for everyone to play in.” Also returning to the team is Andrew McDonnell, former captain Matt McDonnell’s younger brother. He’ll be a junior this season, and Lips said he’s coming through the program well. “He did a nice job last year before he got hurt and then we lost him in the playoff run, which was impactful, because things were pretty solid with him in the middle of the field,” he said. “But I expect Andrew to have a very, very good year at midfield and possibly forward.” Senior midfielder Anthony Gibbons will also be looked to for his experience and talents. Gibbons thinks that the younger athletes bring new energy to the team and said that it didn’t take long for the new group to begin to gel, but Lips thinks that his three-year returner has an energy all his own. “Gibbons has high energy and we hope he makes some tremendous strides,” Lips said. “He had a wonderful season last year and he could be more the physical and emotional leader of the team. I think he’s going to make a great impact.”

Above, Andrew McDonnell will be replacing his older brother and former captain Matt McDonnell, right, at midfield this season. Being physically fit to have an edge on other teams, the Bulls believe stamina won’t be an issue as the team pushes for a fourth consecutive League III title. “We have to get tactically ready for school-ball season because it’s a more

physical, more direct game, and we have to keep drilling that into the young kids and keep getting more fit, because that’s really going to help us in the long run,” Siegel said. “ This year I don’t think there’s going to any let off. Ending my high school career

never losing that League III title would be a big thing for us to keep our name — we want to maintain the legacy of the school. I think for the fourth straight year, the league title will be coming back to us here at Smithtown West.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Veterans salute during a Veterans Day event last year.

Letter to the editor

Protecting those who protect us Assimilating back into everyday life is one of the hardest jobs that we ask of those in the military. Returning home to a normal routine can’t be comfortable for anyone who just spent years in a combat situation, having to kill — or assisting those who are wounded. Unfortunately, incidents like the one at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center, where a veteran took his own life in the hospital parking lot, are not uncommon. Thankfully, events designed to gather as many veterans in the same place in an overwhelmingly positive setting are also becoming the norm. Army veterans Frank Lombardi and Chris Levy paddled kayaks from Bridgeport, Connecticut to Port Jefferson Aug. 27 — a 22-mile trek — in the name of raising awareness for veterans with post traumatic stress disorder. On the same day, the Veterans Comedy Assault Team hosted a night of stand-up comedy performances to benefit a veteran and her family who needed some extra assistance. That comedy team is the brain child of a 501(c)3 nonprofit called Project 9 Line, which is an organization dedicated to reintegrating veterans back to civilian life and helping those suffering from PTSD. Depression and suicide among veterans is a significant societal problem. Events like the two this weekend serve a major purpose, though they cannot be the only plan of attack. It is the responsibility of all citizens of this country to keep an eye on their neighbor, friend or relative to make sure they don’t feel like they’re alone. Military operations are always carried out by teams. Better treatment of veterans returning home should be a team effort among those they protect.

Phineas Taylor Barnum experimented with both political parties in his day.

File photo

A look at the ever-changing political climate Although I missed celebrating his birthday this July 5, I’ve certainly had Phineas Taylor Barnum on my mind. This Connecticut congressman and mayor of Bridgeport, owner of the famous Barnum American Museum, impresario and businessman, accomplished author and philanthropist, and, of course, in the later part of his life, founder of the Barnum and Bailey Circus stands large in American popular culture. A widely quoted cultural icon of the 19th century, Barnum observed life and the American public. His widely cited, “You can fool some of the people all of the time: you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all of the people all of the time,” spoke to the limits of the general public’s gullibility. And most poignantly, his canon “Nobody ever went broke from underestimating the American people” has found its 21st century spokespeople in the two candidates for the presidency of the United States. As a young man, P.T. embraced the Democratic Party

and later in life became an ardent Lincoln Republican, and a vocal supporter of the 13th amendment. Our two candidates have undergone “political evolutions” as well; one, once a self-proclaimed social activist, now a centrist, hawkish Democrat, and the other, a financier of liberal candidates, and now the nominee of the Republican Party, endorsed by the Tea Party. As a follower of Universalism, which considers all mankind in the state of spiritual formation and betterment, Barnum might have taken heart in the very imperfect nature of our two leading presidential candidates. These chameleons struggle to remake themselves but somehow never really shed their original skins. One claims transparency, but really seeks invisibility. The other asserts that whatever the press thinks it hears him say, they hear him incorrectly. Both claim to be victims of conspiracies, yet denounce one another as conspirators. One rewrites history, the other trips over his ignorance

of it. Untrustworthy and dishonest appear most frequently connected to their names. Both are debunkers of fact and purveyors of the unsubstantiated and the mythical. With a whisk of their hands, red faced or scowling, shrill or bombastic, they turn reality on its ear! Questionable foreign sources of loans and DOJ lawsuits that decried housing discrimination vanish before our eyes. FBI investigations that don’t exonerate, but fail to bring charges, suddenly declare innocence! A foundation intermingles the State Department with millionaire contributors of questionable motives and alliances, all declared above board! If we were under the big top, we’d be entertained by these two “oddities.” But there’s no smell of freshly cut field grass, cotton candy or roasted peanuts here. Sadly, we’re not at the circus, rather witnessing the prestidigitation of this American tragedy. Robert Hodum Sound Beach, NY

opinion Countdown for liftoff

e are a step or two ahead of the dogs from that famous Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov, who discovered that his canines salivated when he entered the room, even if he wasn’t about to feed them. We can and do anticipate all kinds of things, counting down the days until our wedding, the start of school, a winter vacation, a new dog’s arrival, the day we retire, the start or end of another sports season. There’s an electricity in the By Daniel Dunaief air that changes the usual Sunday through Saturday routine, when we otherwise might just check the calendar to make sure

D. None of the above

we didn’t miss a dentist appointment, renew a registration for a car or pay a bill that’s coming due. These bigger events — birthdays, surprise parties, New Year’s celebrations — are like larger waves on the ocean. We ride the regular waves up and down, but the bigger waves can give us a higher high, a lower low and take us further, generally, than every other wave. What do we do to get ready for these big moments? If we’re anticipating a reunion, we might lose weight because we want to look as fit and trim as we did 25 years ago when we graduated from high school. We might make 100 calls to make sure that all the small details about the place settings for the wedding are exactly right, that everyone’s name is spelled correctly and that no one is sitting with an ex-husband she can’t stand. We’re often aware of the date of these bigger occasions months or even years before they arrive. A manda-

tory retirement at the age of 60, for example, could be on the calendar for 15 years or more, as both a liberating experience and a journey into the unknown. The training for these experiences starts early, when our parents describe how our birthday is coming next month, next week or even tomorrow. Sometimes, the anticipation is so great that sleep the night before is almost impossible, as our minds have already jumped ahead in time, putting us at the front of the room where we have to make a speech or torturing us with a range of what-if problems, as in, “What if my pants rip?” or “What if I forget what to say after slide three?” or “What if I don’t like anyone in my class this year?” When we’re young, we read books that we know will end. We could tell that the ending was coming because we had only a few pages left before the characters we loved would leave us for the evening, until the next

book, or until the next time we read about Horton and the Whos, those brave little folks he would not want to lose. Our anticipation can magnify any of our senses, turning that orange leaf into a harbinger of a pumpkin carving competition; converting the sound of the shower into the calming splash of the ocean as it gently laps along the shore; or recasting the scent of freshly cut grass into the exultant shouts of parents and teammates amid a walkoff hit at the end of a tightly contested baseball game. Surely, there are countdowns some of us dread, like the start of the new school year — I didn’t say it, I just wrote it, so I didn’t violate my promise to a few kids I know. While there are responsibilities to honor, burdens to bear and hurdles to jump, there are also joys and bigger moments, like a dance, a birthday celebration or a Thanksgiving with family, that all keep the carousel turning.

Untold stories of unheralded women spies

hose of us along the North Shore and particularly in Setauket, who routinely live with tales of the local spies, might be especially interested in the life of Doris Sharrar Bohrer. One of the few female spies for the Allies during World War II, she died earlier this month at the age of 93 and was not publicly recognized for her extraordinary work until this century. A Class of 1940 graduate of Montgomery Blair School in By Leah S. Dunaief High Silver Spring, Maryland, she applied to take the civil service exam and was for whatever reason assigned to the Office of Strategic Services, forerunner to the CIA. There, after typing for a year, she was sent to photo reconnaissance school, where she learned to interpret aerial maps and photographs. Few women

Between you and me

in the OSS rose beyond the typing pool. A posting in Egypt followed, where she would make 3-D balsawood relief maps from the aerial photos that helped prepare the Allied troops for the invasions of Sicily and then of the rest of Italy. Soon she was moved to Bari on Italy’s Adriatic coast, advising where to drop and to pick up OSS agents from behind enemy lines. In examining aerial photos, she was able to see closed cattle cars with passengers heading east, and her group located the Nazi concentration camps. However, she told The Washington Post in 2011, “we were too late” in finding the concentration camps. “We kept wondering where the trains were going.” During the war, she packed a Browning pistol in a shoulder holster but was denied the right to carry a hand grenade as a female Yugoslav partisan co-worker could do. In fact, some of her male counterparts were condescending and even outright hostile to women intelligence agents, calling them “the girls.” These included her superior officer who denied her the grenade. So she had an engineer friend fashion a dummy

grenade that she carried into the mess hall where some of the other agents were having lunch. When her superior officer reached across to grab it away, she picked it up and smashed it against the table. The boys scattered “out the windows,” she told Ann Curry of NBC News many years later. “They just disappeared. And I sat there and ate my salad.” After the war, Bohrer was assigned to Germany, where she spied on the Soviet Union. She interviewed German scientists who had been detained by the Soviets in order to find out for the CIA as much as possible about the state of Soviet science. This was during the lengthy Cold War. Bohrer retired from the CIA in 1979 as deputy chief of counterintelligence, training U.S. officers on tactics of foreign espionage operatives. In effect, she spied on the spies. She married Charles Bohrer after World War II and after retirement became a residential real-estate sales agent in the 1980s and ’90s in the Old Town section of Alexandria, Virginia. She also bred and raised poodles, some of which won ribbons and prizes. Her

husband retired as director of the CIA medical office. In 2013 two high-ranking CIA women directors thanked Bohrer and Betty McIntosh, another CIA operative, at the Langley, Virginia, headquarters for their service. Bohrer’s work had remained secret until The Washington Post discovered in 2011 that she and McIntosh, the author of two books, lived at the same retirement home in northern Virginia; McIntosh had carried out propaganda work in China. Both women had not known each other during the war but had become good friends. Bohrer, whose husband died in 2007 after they were married 61 years, is survived by her son and his two grandchildren. McIntosh died in 2015 at age 100. Bohrer had wanted to learn to fly to defend the U.S. after the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack. She never did take up aviation but found looking at aerial photographs “an interesting way to look at the world. It was almost as good as flying,” she told The Washington Post. Like the Setauket spies, Bohrer and McIntosh went unheralded for many years but their stories are now told to the world at large.
