Koch continuously cares about his community Movers & Shakers BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN

Bob Koch is no stranger to giving back. The single father of three and owner of Koch Tree Services in Mount Sinai is known for his generosity and willingness to always lend his services, or just a helping hand. “I get emotional talking about him, because he’s just such a wonderful person,” daughter Kara Koch said. “Anybody he meets, he always gives them a chance and makes sure to think the best of them. He really goes above and beyond for everybody and anybody.” According to Bob Koch’s son Jeremy, his grandfather started the business and his dad took over, working on some major jobs while heading the company. Bob Koch helped clean up Battery Park in Manhattan after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, planted trees and plants at Heritage Park in Mount Sinai, helped local businesses plant trees for Christmas tree lightings and he does basic maintenance

and upkeep around the area. He donates much of the time he spends on these community projects. Nick Aliano Sr., who owns Aliano Real Estate in Miller Place, said Koch helped plant a nearly 30-foot tree at the Aliano Shopping Center to honor his son Robert, who was run over by a car and battled through a long recovery. Despite the first

Bonner proposes ban to curb drug use in youth By Giselle Barkley

During last week’s Rocky Point Drug Forum, Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) announced her new step to combat drug use, with a ban regarding hookah lounges and smoke and vape shops in Brookhaven Town. If the town approves and implements the councilwoman’s proposal, prospective shop owners cannot establish their businesses within 1,000 feet of familyor child-oriented institutions or various public places. These locations include educational and religious facilities; nondegree granting schools, like ballet and karate studios; and swimming pools. The ban won’t apply to existing lounges and shops that have proper permits and counts, going through their phones and certificates of occupancy. The idea isn’t simply to deter students having family dinners. For the Rocky Point school district and from purchasing items from the store, but also to prevent them from using these community alike, fighting substance abuse devices, or similar items, to smoke drugs is a top priority. But according to Rocky like marijuana. During last week’s forum, Point Superintendent of Schools Michael John Venza, vice president of Adolescent Ring, the fight is an uphill battle with new Services for Outreach, said some vapor- devices on the market. “One of the things that works against izers can accommodate various forms of us is the emerging techmarijuana including nology that makes it dabs, a wax-like form ‘One of the things that easier for students to be of the drug that has works against us is the brought in and grow that higher levels of THC. into abuse,” Ring said.

“Online, I see people buying left and right,” Patel said about vaporizers and similar devices. “It’s much cheaper online because they’re buying in bulk. So what they’re paying in the store $50, online, they can get it for $20.” He added that it’s also easier for students to purchase these items online because these sites don’t verify the buyer’s age. In light of this, Patel continued saying the proposed ban won’t stop these underage residents from finding what

they’re looking for. North Shore Youth Council Executive Director Janene Gentile said she hasn’t seen an increase in these shops near her organization, but said the youth council works “with the legislators around holding the pharmaceutical companies accountable” as well. “I believe in this bill,” Gentile added. Residents can voice their opinions regarding the ban at the May 12 public hearing at 6 p.m. in Brookhaven Town Hall.

When it comes to Suffolk County’s red light camera program, Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) said he’s seen enough. Trotta took to the intersection of Indian Head Road and Jericho Turnpike in Commack on Monday to call on the county to pull the emergency brake on its red light camera initiative and reevaluate, citing an increase in traffic crashes with injuries at that location. The legislator picked the Indian Head Road red light camera location because the county’s 2014 Red Light Safety Program report showed crashes with injuries had gone up more than 100 percent there, making it a prime spot to prove Trotta’s point. The annual report said the yearly average of reported crashes with injury went from 8.7 before the camera’s installation to 19.3 after. The camera at that intersection was installed in January 2014, giving the 2014 report 11 months of traffic data to work with while comparing it to traffic patterns recorded over three years between 2007 and 2009. Back in October, Trotta joined with other Republican lawmakers from Suffolk County to solicit input from the public about

the red light camera program. At the time, he said residents alerted him about an increase in rear end crashes since people were stopping abruptly at yellow lights to avoid

being ticketed. The 2014 annual report on the red light program proved that notion. According to the report, rear end crashes increased by 42 percent

since the cameras were installed. “Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone has turned the residents of Smithtown into crash test dummies,” Trotta said on Mon-

day. “This is just another example of [the Bellone’s administration] attempt to raise revenues through ‘taxation by citation.’” RED LIGHTS continued on page A13

She provided Detective Ghyslaine McBean with this information, but said the detective hasn’t returned her call since November. McBean didn’t respond to media inquiries prior to publication. While tackling the issue of drug use on Long Island is important for many communities across Long Island, acknowledging the evolution of heroin addicts and other drug abusers is also vital.

Zeldin stumps in Stony Brook for veteran health bill By PhiL CoRSo

The fight to expand veterans health services made a pit stop in Stony Brook before hitting Washington, D.C. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) took to the Long Island State Veterans Home last Thursday and stood before a room filled with veterans standing to benefit from a piece of legislation he said would expand disabled veterans’ access to adult day health care. He garnered widespread support from the local level before taking the fight to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, which scheduled a hearing on his bill for April 20. “It must always be a top priority of Congress to ensure that all veterans receive the proper treatment and care they deserve after fighting for our country,” Zeldin said. “My bill, which has strong bipartisan support in Congress, with over 45 co-sponsors including the entire Long Island Congressional Delegation, is just one more way that we can expand care for veterans.” H.R. 2460 was written to enhance care for service members who are 70 percent or more disabled from a service-connected injury, which Zeldin said often required hands-on assistance in order to complete everyday tasks. In Stony Brook, the Long Island State Veterans Home is only one of three facilities nationwide to offer a pro-

gram called adult day health care, which delivers an alternative to nursing home care for disabled veterans and their families. But the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs does not cover such an expense at state veterans homes, putting a greater burden on service members’ wallets. If passed, Zeldin said, the legislation would help expand this program, which could be offered at any of the 153 state veterans homes across the country. Fred Sganga, director of the Long Island State Veterans Home, said the legislation would fix a harrowing disparity that disabled vets face on a daily basis. “Since the original legislation to provide no-cost skilled nursing care to our veterans who are 70 percent or more service connected disabled was passed into law in 2006, those veterans who could possibly be served by an alternative like medical model adult day health care have been shortchanged of this wonderful opportunity,” he said. “Congressman Zeldin had the resolve to recognize this issue and bring an appropriate fix not only for the Long Island State Veterans Home, but for the other 152 state veterans homes across the country.” Noreen Saladino, whose husband James receives adult day health care to help combat the effects of being exposed to Agent Orange while serving during the Vietnam War, said the program has

given her a new life. “My personal life changed when James entered adult day health care,” she said. “It keeps him safe and comfortable. Dr. Kenneth Kushansky, dean at the School of Medicine and senior vice president of Health Sciences at Stony Brook University, said the congressman’s bill advocated for a critical piece of veterans health care exercised at both Stony Brook Hospital and the 350-bed Long Island State Veterans Home.

media

“Stony Brook Medicine wants to acknowledge Congressman Zeldin for submitting this legislation on behalf of veterans and their families,” he said. “Providing funding for a long-term care alternative, like medical model adult day health care, will give our veterans and their families much deserved choice. Stony Brook Medicine serves as a model for the rest of the nation as it relates to long-term care for our nation’s heroes, and we are proud to be a part of this initiative.”

The 2016 U.S. presidential candidates from both sides of the aisle made their way to New York to continue rallying support this week. And by next Tuesday, New Yorkers can make a difference when they vote for their nominee in the closed primary. Suffolk County Republican Chair John Jay LaValle said this is the first primary in three decades where New York State’s vote is this relevant. “By the time the vote gets to New York, it’s usually over and it’s a functional exercise when the candidates run,” LaValle said.

Q: Will you vote in the primary? A: Yes Q: Why? A: Because it’s too dangerous not to vote. It’s a very important election. I believe Donald Trump is a very dangerous man. I believe that every vote counts against him. If you don’t vote, it’s a vote for Donald Trump.

Q: Will you vote in the primary? A: Yes. Q: Why? A: Because I think that the country is in dire straits right now, and the more people that get out and vote for who they prefer, the better the country will be. Hopefully we can bring this country back.

Q: Will you vote in the primary? A: Yes. I want to choose who I want to vote for [and] who I want to be the nominee for the Republican Party. So I would vote in the primaries to make that choice. [It’s a] very interesting election this year.

Q: Will you vote in the primary? A: I’ve never voted in the primaries before but I want to. Q: Why? A: I’m fed up with politicians. Look what [U.S. President Barack] Obama has done to this country. He’s destroyed it. I want somebody not like him.

When asked how running in New York differed from campaigning in other states, LaValle said, “New Yorkers like to hear it straight.” The Republican chair added that voters in this state are very engaged, intelligent and are more skeptical when it comes to casting a vote. But Lillian Clayman, chair of Brookhaven’s Democratic Committee said “unless there’s this huge ideological chasm with the candidates,” running in New York isn’t much different than in other states. The presidential primaries allow voters to help determine the presidential nominees for their respective parties. Of the nominees, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is doing well on Long Island, LaValle said. He added that people are getting tired of hearing the typical political rhetoric they hear from the other 2016 presidential candidates. Although Clayman said she doesn’t know what’s to come for next week’s primaries, she said Democratic nominees, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) have energized residents, even those who usually don’t vote during the primaries. Registered voters can choose their nominees on Tuesday, April 19.

Police have identified the body found near a beach off Setauket Harbor on Monday morning, linking him back to an emergency crash-landing that happened nearby in February, Suffolk County cops said. Gerson Salmon-Negron, 23, was last seen shortly after 11 p.m. on Feb. 20 when the Piper Archer four-seated airplane he was in went down in the waters of Setauket Harbor with three others on board. His body was finally found on Monday morning after a 911 call told dispatchers about a body spotted on the beach near Brewster Lane in Setauket around 9:10 a.m., the Suffolk County Police Department said. The three other men, student pilot Austricio Ramirez, 25, Nelson Gomez, 36, and Wady Perez, 25, were rescued by nearby neighbors and officers soon after the crash. The small plane had taken off from Fitchburg, Mass., en route to Republic Airport in Farmingale, but went down near the vicinity of 108 Van Brunt Manor Road in Poquott. The incident spurred residents living on the Strongs Neck side of the water

The missing man’s body was found in setauket harbor almost two months after his plane crash-landed there.

to jump into action as soon as they noticed emergency vehicles making their way into the small North Shore community. As the incident unfolded, residents living along the shoreline started offering up their personal kayaks for rescuers to use to lift the survivors out to safety. “Where this occurred, there are only a few homes, but instantly the neighbors pulled together,” resident Margo Arceri said in a previous interview after the crash occurred. “They say, ‘it takes a village,’ and these neighbors showed a real sense of community. We all pulled together immediately. I just wish it had a happier ending.” In a report released in March, the National Transportation Safety Board said

that the aircraft reported low amounts of fuel and had been operated for about five hours since its tank was last filled. The report said the plane’s engine “sputtered” as it approached the Port Jefferson area, spurring the flight instructor to turn on the electric fuel pump and instructing his student pilot to switch the fuel selector to the plane’s left fuel tank as it flew at around 2,000 feet. The sputtering stopped, but started up again about three minutes later, the NTSB said, and then lost power. That was when the pilot instructor took control of the plane and tried heading to the shoreline, where he believed the plane could safely land, the NTSB report said. But the pilot was unable to see the shoreline due

to the darkness and could only guess where the shoreline began by the lights inside of nearby houses, the report said. He held the plane off of the water for as long as he could before touching down and instructing everyone to grab a life vest and exit the plane, the NTSB said. Neither the student pilot nor the passengers, however, were wearing life vests when they exited the plane, the report said. Emergency personnel were on the scene within minutes and rescued three of the four men. The airplane floated in the water for about five minutes before sinking nosefirst to the bottom of the harbor, the NTSB said.

Life after a massive electromagnetic attack from outer space unfolded on the stage at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School when the fifth-grade chorus High Notes, above, performed their spring musical “A Kid’s Life.” The comical play told the tale of a group of children looking for fun during a time when the world was suddenly void of electricity. With the help of their grandparents, they learned to experience life free of fancy gadgets and video games as they embarked on an imaginative adventure filled with music. The students worked for months to prepare for the production under the direction of teacher Craig Knapp.

Collecting toys for tots

OBITUARIES Jordan James Smith Jordan James Smith, of Rocky Point, died April 1 at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is survived by his loving father Mark and mother Heather; grandparents William, Charlene, Herbert and Joy Smith; and great grandmother Maureen. A Mass of Christian burial was held at St. Anthony of Padua R.C. Church in Rocky Point. Burial followed in Washington Memorial Park in Mount Sinai. All funeral arrangements were entrusted to the care of Rocky Point Funeral Home.

Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School third- to fifth-grade students collected and donated 150 stuffed toys for pediatric patients at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson. James O’Connor, executive vice president-chief administrative officer at St. Charles, applauded the Miller Place school district students for their charitable efforts. “Your thoughtfulness is guaranteed to bring joy and some genuine smiles to those children who need a little extra comfort while spending time in our care,” he said. The stuffed toy drive aimed to teach students the importance of giving back to the community.

RED LIGHTS Continued from page A7

However, the county’s Red Light Safety Program was enacted in 2009 — years before Bellone assumed the county executive position in 2012. The annual report said the county collected $27.5 million in citation payments in 2014 and paid $9.5 million to the vendor to operate the program. The net proceeds were credited to the county’s general fund. Backing up Trotta was Lawrence Zacarese, assistant chief of police and director of the Office of Emergency Management at Stony Brook University. In his remarks, speaking as a paramedic who has served Suffolk for decades, Zacarese said the Indian Head Road and Jericho Turnpike intersection was a dangerous spot in Commack and red light cameras only made it worse by forcing drivers to jam on their brakes at yellow lights in order to avoid tickets. “People are confused,” he said. “The data shows that clearly.” Paul Margiotta, executive director of the county’s Traffic and Parking Violations Agency, defended the county’s program while citing the report’s evidence of decreasing crash figures coupled with increasing trends of distracted drivers. “The Suffolk County red light camera program has reduced crashes involving injuries at intersections with cameras and dramatically reduced right-angle crashes, which have the highest potential for serious injuries or even fatalities, by more than 20 percent,” he said. “Intersections with red light cameras on average are safer than intersections without cameras. Unfortunately, crashes throughout all of Suffolk County have increased, primarily because of distracted driving which has more than doubled since just 2012. It is clear that Suffolk County needs to do more, not less, to address traffic safety.” At intersections where cameras were installed, overall crashes decreased by 3 percent, right-angle crashes went down by 21 percent and crashes involving injury decreased 4 percent, according to the county report. Trotta’s pleas came on the same day repeat offender Stephen Ruth, of Centereach, was arrested for allegedly tampering with 19 of the cameras throughout the county. Ruth was first cuffed in August for allegedly using a pole to reach several red light cameras in Ronkonkoma and turn their lenses away from the road and toward the sky. He was charged with criminal tampering and obstructing governmental administration. Police said Ruth “cut wires and manipulated equipment” on 18 of those cameras between April 9 and 10. The 19th camera incident in question dates back to Jan. 18, police said, when Ruth allegedly cut down a camera pole at the intersection of County Road 83 and Old Town Road in Coram. According to a police estimate, the incidents caused at least $25,000 of damage. Ruth, 43, has been charged with two felony counts of second-degree criminal mischief. Hauppauge-based attorneys William J. Keahon and Craig Fleischer are representing him on those charges but are not commenting on the case, according to their law office. Ruth’s arrest comes about a week after another man was arrested for allegedly tampering with red light cameras. Bryan Valentine, of St. James, has been charged with two counts of second-degree criminal tampering after police said the 26-year-old placed plastic bags over red light cameras at the signal in the Main Street and Landing Avenue intersection in Smithtown. Attorney information for Valentine was not available. In interviews Ruth — whom his supporters have dubbed the “Red Light Robin Hood” — has stood behind his actions. He has received praise from people who oppose the county’s red light camera program and say it is simply a money grab, as the county receives much revenue from the tickets generated.

The Wildcats scored early and often, with senior Jason Curran’s four goals leading the way, as the Shoreham-Wading River boys’ lacrosse team downed crosstown rival Mount Sinai, 9-4.

“It’s great to get back at them for last year,” Curran said of Mount Sinai handing Shoreham one of its two losses of the season. “They’re the top dog. Since they won counties least year, it’s great to be able to finish against them with a nice win.” It seemed like they may come out on top again, as senior Matt Boscarino started the scoring nearly halfway into the first quarter, with a rocket to the left side to break the ice. Mount Sinai senior goalkeeper Peter Mastrorocco also made a couple of early stops. Despite opening strong, Mount Sinai’s defense turned the ball over several times in a row, and from there, Shoreham opened the floodgates to five straight goals through the opening of the second stanza. Despite the scores, Mastrorocco kept his team in the game, making five saves in that span on his way to 15 on the afternoon. “I felt good, but I can’t do well unless I have a good defense,” he said. “We locked down the wing shots and the crease shots.” But Mount Sinai struggled to secure a faceoff win or a ground ball race. The team scored one goal in the second, and again to open the fourth, but that goal with 10:54 remaining was the last one they’d rattle the cage with. “I think we need to work on our ground balls and our shooting, and we’ll be a big team to beat,” Mastrorocco said. “I think the team is making progress every single

day. We work as hard as we can on and off the field and we’re putting in a lot of work.” On the other side of the field, Shoreham’s scores were showing how far the work has already taken them. The game heated up as Mount Sinai closed the gap to 7-4, but the Wildcats remained composed. Junior attack Chris Gray fed Curran a pass, but Mastrorocco stopped the shot. Curran still scored amid frenzy in front of the net, on his next attempt seconds later, to an open left side. “When my shots go in, I’m happy,” Curran said. “But I wouldn’t be scoring goals if it wasn’t for people like Jon Constant and Chris Gray feeding me.” Gray said Joe Miller, a junior going to Navy, remaining poised at faceoff, helped the team to victory. “He did a great job today, winning and giving us all the possessions that allowed us to score,” he said. “We had a lot of intensity coming into the game and it carried throughout all four quarters. Our defense looked great. They went man-up a couple of times, the other team, and we shut them down. The chemistry on offense today was really flowing for us.” Eighth-grader Xavier Arline and Gray scored twice and added an assist each. Gray said his team not only has the bond, but the leadership and talent to get to the playoffs. Curran liked that his team played smart

while dominating the time of possession to secure the win. But he’s never satisfied. “We’re always trying to get better moving forward,” he said. “If we can continue to play together, play unselfish and play smart lacrosse, we can go far, but if this is the best game we play all year, that’s not good. We want to get better after every week.”

Boals named SBU men’s basketball coach

Joins the Seawolves after spending the past seven seasons as an assistant at Ohio State Jeff Boals, who spent the last seven seasons as an assistant coach at Ohio State University, has been named the head men’s basketball coach at Stony Brook University. “[I am] extremely excited to become a part of the Stony Brook community and university,” Boals said. “[I am] grateful for the opportunity that Dr. Stanley and Shawn Heilbron have given me and I look forward to working with the team, building upon the success of last season and continuing it into the future. I can’t wait to get started.” That success last season was Stony Brook’s first Division I NCAA men’s basketball championship appearance, after an 8074 victory over the University of Vermont in the America East championship. With the win, the Seawolves earned their 26th singleseason victory — a new Division I program record for the Seawolves. The No. 13 Stony Brook team played No. 4 University of Kentucky in the NCAA tournament’s opening Round of 64 but fell 85-57. Boals was officially introduced Monday as the 11th head coach in the program’s history to the Stony Brook community at a press conference at SBU’s Island Federal Credit Union Arena. “Jeff Boals will be a great addition to the Stony Brook community,” the Boston Celt-

In his final season at Robert Morris, the Colonials posted their first winning record in 15 seasons. He spent a total of four seasons at Division II University of Charleston, also in West Virginia, in two different stints. A 1995 graduate of Ohio University, Boals was a two-time captain and four-year letter winner for the Bobcats, who advanced to the NCAA tournament in 1994. The following year, Ohio University won the Preseason NIT championship after wins over Ohio State and Virginia, as well as George Washington and New Mexico State. “Knowing that he is pursuing his dreams to be a head coach is big time,” the Lakers’ Russell said. “He has always been super supportive and a major mentor to me and my family throughout my process. P.S. [I] just became a Stony Brook fan.”

OPINION Not about money

Photo by Phil Corso

A county report says Indian Head Road and Jericho Turnpike in Commack saw crashes increase since a red light camera was installed in 2014.

EDITORIAL

Too late to brake

Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (RFort Salonga) put the county’s red light camera program back under the microscope this week, as he should. We appreciate his watchdog approach when it comes to the county’s finances — he went so far as to call the red light camera program, which photographs and tickets cars that run through red lights or don’t come to a full stop before turning right on red, “taxation by citation.” This newspaper has been historically critical of the program, and when the county released its 2014 annual report on the matter, it reminded us why. In 2014 alone, the county collected $27.5 million from about 321,000 citations issued. Most of that was profit — Suffolk paid the camera vendor only $9.5 million to operate the program. And the county’s net revenue that year represented an exponential increase from when the cameras went live in 2010. We are not ignoring the statistics, though. We recognize that overall crashes decreased by 3 percent, right-angle crashes went down by 21 percent and crashes involving injury decreased 4 percent. Rear-end crashes, however, went up 42 percent. But Suffolk County has gotten into a dangerous habit. While some lawmakers and residents remain critical of the cameras, our government now has several years of ever-increasing citation dollars going to the county’s general fund. If we were to nix the red light camera program, it would leave a gaping hole in the county’s pocketbook. Rather than cutting equal expenses, we all know where our government would turn to make up the difference: taxpayers’ wallets. At this point, the best solution would be to go back in time and never allow the program to pass in the first place. Instead, we urge our lawmakers and neighbors to continue to be critical of the red light camera program and keep it honest as it evolves across our county. If there’s no way to dismantle it without passing the buck onto taxpayers, we hope together we can at least find a happier medium.

TO ThE EDITOR: This week the television media has been providing a Long Island man with a ridiculous amount of air time. What did he do to get this coverage? he cut the wires leading to several red light cameras. I would like you to visualize something I experienced many years ago as a Suffolk County auxiliary police officer in the Town of huntington. There had been an automobile accident at an intersection. A paramedic friend of mine was carrying a 2-yearold from one of the wrecked cars to an ambulance. The 2-year-old put his arms around my friend’s neck, said “I love you, Daddy,” and died. I can’t remember that night without crying. Try to imagine that 2-year-old is your child or grandchild. Then imagine someone who thinks we don’t need red light enforcement has indirectly caused that “accident.” Now visualize a 19-year-old girl who had waited for a green light to pull out of a parking lot. A 23-year-old runs the red light. When I reached the scene, what was left of the young girl’s car was back in the bushes. She was alive and semi-alert. The problem was her car had been so badly smashed and driven into her body that it was hard to tell what was part of the car and what was part of her

body. She also died. Once again imagine that young girl is your child, grandchild, wife or sister. Then also imagine, once again, someone who thinks we don’t need red light enforcement has indirectly caused that “accident.” We live in or near communities having some of the worst roads and drivers in New York State. Route 347 in Port Jefferson Station and Terryville has the highest accident rate of any similar road in the state. Route 25 in Smithtown has the highest fatality rate of any similar road in the state. Why? In my opinion, it is the uncaring, unthinking, self-serving

persons like this, the “Red Light Robin hood.” I think he should go to jail and then be forced to spend a minimum of a year cleaning up the most gruesome accident scenes available. To paraphrase Bill Clinton, the issue isn’t money, stupid, it’s lives. That’s just one man’s opinion. Francis G. Gibbons Sr. Terryville The writer is the chairman of the Traffic, Transportation and Pedestrian Safety Committee of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association.

got an opinion? express it at tbrnewsmedia.com Bare minimum TO ThE EDITOR: State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) has done it again. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has gotten a 67 percent increase in the minimum wage enacted without so much as a peep from Sen. Flanagan or his cohorts. While prudent increases in the minimum wage certainly make sense, such an extreme increase has the potential to not only put many small businesses out of business, but also to hurt those it professes to help through higher costs and the elimination of many lower-skilled jobs. In fact, I have already begun to hear from clients of mine that they will be eliminating jobs in the future because of this unprecedented increase. In addition, I wonder

how many are asking if a part of the impetus behind this development is to help with a severely underfunded 1199 union pension fund? I had contacted Sen. Flanagan’s office and been informed that he “shares my concerns.” I was also informed by him at a hauppauge Industrial Association event that a middle ground would be negotiated. Based upon my past experience with him, I was afraid of what this meant and it was proven to be true. From my experience, it is my opinion that he is a consummate politician who will do what is necessary to enhance his career and not necessarily what is good for his constituents. Sure enough, he went behind doors with Gov. Cuomo, as had his predecessor, who will be spending time in jail, and worked out a deal that has the potential

to do extreme harm to our local economy. I was sorry to see in our local newspapers that in their outrage over this development, local leaders tried unsuccessfully to get state Assemblyman Mike Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) to run against Sen. Flanagan in the next primary. While I have not always agreed with all of his views, I have always had the highest respect for Assemblyman Fitzpatrick, because his actions are always guided by what he believes in and not what will enhance his political career. Perhaps if enough money could be raised to allow him to mount an effective challenge against Sen. Flanagan, he could be persuaded to change his mind? I certainly hope so. Jim Bartunek Nesconset

Celebrating the medical team behind the college heroes

D. none of the above By DanieL Dunaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

y nephew will never be on a Wheaties box. He won’t be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, either, and he won’t be in a team picture that glows with the warmth of broad, confident smiles at the end of a championship season. Nonetheless, he works just as hard and puts in just as

much time, dedicating himself to college sports at his Division I school as do many of the athletes whose natural talents and achievements thousands of students, alumni and fans applaud at arenas, fields and stadiums around the country. My nephew is an emergency medical technician and is studying the field of kinesiology, which is the science of human movement. Someday he will either be a doctor, a trainer or some combination thereof where his knowledge of the way the body works will enable him to help athletes and nonathletes alike overcome injuries, stresses and strains or their own physical challenges. He is a part of the team behind the team. He doesn’t lead chants and he doesn’t scream for the adoring fans to get out of their seats. He helps get athletes back on their feet again back in the stadium, and back to doing what they love when the inevitable battle of wills

brings two people into the same space at the same time. Every morning he gets up some time around sunrise, as he slowly slinks out of his dorm room to the training center. There, he waits patiently, hoping his services aren’t necessary but ready, willing and able to help any of the injured athletes who need immediate medical attention. He is like so many of the other medical and emergency response crews who close their eyes not knowing whether they’ll be able to rest for two minutes, two hours or 10 hours when they go to sleep. He works with amateur athletes who might one day make an Olympic team, a professional team, set a school record in an athletic event or simply bring glory to his college for one magnificent day. He dedicates himself, day after day, to his fellow students. We recently visited him at his school, where he had a

rare day off because the team he’s helping didn’t need him that day. We twisted his arm to watch a softball game on an unusually cold afternoon. The team played a doubleheader. My nephew saw his counterpart on the field during the first game of the doubleheader. The next day, he said he found out that his friend arrived two hours before the first game and didn’t leave until at least an hour after the second game ended, which means he spent about nine hours of a weekend day focused on supporting these athletes. This is great training, building his professional endurance, giving him opportunities to see sports injuries — and helping him figure out where on the medical sports spectrum he’d like to dedicate himself. Still, I couldn’t help remembering some of the slow, lazy mornings in college, the hours tossing a baseball back and forth on a lawn,

My first workshop in the morning was a valuable one dealing with good organizational management. What’s that, you might ask? To me that means working in a corporate or nonprofit group of any kind, productively, happily and successfully. It means optimizing resources and achieving a group’s lofty goals in a way that is most satisfying both to members of the group and to its clientele. It also means innovating to embrace future change even while preserving the core of the business. What has that to do with us at the newspapers? Stay with me and I will reveal a nice surprise. In the past, in what we now call “the old industrial age,” the manner in which organizations ran was hierarchical, meaning from the top down in a vertical fashion. You’ve undoubtedly seen such graphics depicting the CEO at the top, followed below by the next row of managers, with further rows below them. Those workers in each row reported to the manager

immediately above them, with final decisions coming down from above. That was how the company managed its decisionmaking and workflow. Today the model for better management has dramatically changed. Corporate flow charts have flattened and been transformed into more of a web than a ladder. The group chart is horizontal rather than vertical, perhaps influenced by the internet. Employees at all levels of a company or group are vested in the decision-making process, to the greater success and satisfaction of personnel making the product or performing the service and its quality for the end user. That is optimal organizational management today, led by Silicon Valley high technology companies in the larger corporate world, who took away titles, reserved parking places and physical partitions, and created the sense of equal participation and valued input that constantly push toward change while still maintaining the traditional business.

So now for the nice surprise. We at Times Beacon Record News Media, celebrating our 40th anniversary this month, have always run the business as a web rather than a ladder. Why? Because the people who have worked here, a great many of whom are still with us, have been respected for their talent and commitment and encouraged to offer their best ideas, concerns and input. We have been very lucky with the type of person who chooses to work with us, and we are most appreciative of our good fortune in that regard. Now comes the best part. While we have had many talented men working here, and we still do, we are nonetheless an organization with a majority of women. And I learned in business school, many years ago, that webs rather than ladders are instinctively more typical of women. Along with the networking concept go ideas like job sharing in order to combine work and also manage sick children, flexible hours, working at home and

Ready, willing and able to help any of the injured athletes. and the carefree joy of watching my school’s hockey team win a big game. My nephew, by choice, spends hours he could be studying or hanging out with buddies playing an important supportive role well behind the bench. Athletes defy gravity, each other and their own limitations to become the kinds of heroes we celebrate each day. At the same time, when those limitations catch up with them, they turn to people like my nephew and a deep bench of medical talent to bring them back to the games they love. My nephew may not be on the field but he, like so many others at these big schools with winning athletic programs, plays an important role off of it.

New management concepts in a new industrial age

Between you and me By Leah S. Dunaief

aratoga Springs had snow on the ground when I arrived at dusk for the start of the New York Press Association convention a week ago Wednesday. Coming from Long Island, where daffodils are brightly nodding at passersby, forsythia are beacons of the coming spring and buds are finally on the tips of skeletal tree limbs, I had left the world of winter behind. So it was a bit of a shock to see how far we at home had advanced.

being innovative in order to do more in less time. The final products, which is what our work is about, have been stellar. In the early years, when a couple of experienced older men had joined our sales team, they were deeply puzzled by our management style. “Just tell us what you want us to do, and we’ll go out and do it,” they urged more than once at our ideas-generating meetings. They came from the old school in believing that dictatorship is the most efficient form of management, as I suppose it is. By the time I left Saratoga Springs Sunday morning, the snow had disappeared. I could hear a bird singing through my open car window, and against the blue sky, I believe I caught sight of a few tiny buds on trees limbs. Sometimes it just takes a little extra time for different parts of the world to catch up.
