BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Suffolk County Police Department is mourning the loss of an active officer, Vincent Pelliccio, who died in a motor vehicle crash Nov. 8. The 30-year-old was off-duty and driving his 2021 Jeep northbound on Nicolls Road, near West Road, in Selden when his vehicle left the roadway and crashed in the median. He was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Pelliccio was a 3rd Precinct officer and a member of the department since December 2014. A 2011 graduate of Connetquot High School, he started his professional career as a teacher, but decided to pursue his dream and follow in his retired NYPD detective father’s footsteps. Upon graduating the police academy, he was assigned to the 3rd Precinct as a uniformed patrol officer and became a plain clothes officer in the 3rd Precinct Gang Task Force in March 2019. Pelliccio also served his fellow law enforcement officers as a Police Benevolent Association delegate. In 2019, Pelliccio was awarded the Theodore Roosevelt Award, which recognizes members of service who have overcome serious injury, disease or disability and have returned to work, for overcoming his battle with testicular cancer. Diagnosed in September 2017 at age 26, he went through both radiation and chemotherapy treatments, fighting to get back to health to return to work. According to the SCPD, even when he was too sick to report for duty, he was constantly in contact with his colleagues and friends at the SCPD, expressing his desire to help and return to his sector in Central Islip. He returned to full duty in March 2018. “Officer Pelliccio was a dedicated member of the 3rd Precinct who overcame personal adversity to continue serving the people of Suffolk County,”

Inspector John Rowan said. “His perseverance and unwavering commitment to his calling as a police officer is inspirational. Vinny will be missed but not forgotten by this command.” In addition to a departmental recognition, Pelliccio was named Cop of the Month in April 2020 with Police Officer Anthony Devincenzo for the arrest of a violent gang member and drug dealer in September 2019. While monitoring a known drug and gang location in North Bay Shore, the officers witnessed the gang member in front of a business and found marijuana on the sidewalk near where he was. Upon approaching the subject, he fled officers into a hair salon with multiple civilians. During a violent struggle, Pelliccio deployed his Taser and the subject was taken into custody, where he was found to be in possession of multiple weapons and narcotics. “Vinny was an extremely dedicated young man who loved being a police officer and was always eager to perform and excel in his law enforcement duties,” Sergeant Philip Dluginski said. “He fully embraced the police culture and loved spending time with his blue family both during and outside of work. He will be sorely missed by all his friends and co-workers, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and fiancée at this time.” County Executive Steve Bellone (D) expressed his sympathy for the SCPD’s loss. “I had the pleasure of meeting Officer Pelliccio when he was honored for his outstanding work in keeping our communities safe,” he said. “An exemplary law enforcement professional and relentless fighter who returned to work full duty after winning a battle with cancer, Officer Pelliccio’s tragic passing has shaken our entire police family.” Pelliccio, who resided in Port Jefferson Station at the time of his death, is survived by his parents, Tony and Angela, his sister, Niki, and his fiancée, Danielle Trotta.

Suffolk County hospitals feature procedure to ease chronic lower back pain BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Over 30 years as a plumber took its toll on Daniel Tuttle. The 79-year old Northport resident felt daily pain in his lower back, which limited his ability to walk for any length of time. “I always lifted up [stuff] you shouldn’t lift,” Tuttle said. “It was too heavy. Over the

years, I got more and more pain.” Tuttle visited several specialists. His cardiologist recommended he see Dr. Frank Ocasio, director of Acute Pain Management and chair of Pain Management at Huntington Hospital and the director of North Shore Head and Spine in Huntington. Ocasio recently started performing a therapeutic treatment called Intracept, which involves cutting a small incision in the back,

inserting a tube and providing enough heat to deactivate the nerve that causes chronic lower back pain. About a month after the procedure, Tuttle is pleased to report that his pain has declined from “an 11” to closer to a three on a daily basis. Several doctors around Long Island have provided the Intracept procedure, which was developed by Relievant Medsystems, over the last few years, including at Stony Brook University and Port Jefferson’s St. Charles Hospital. Dr. Jonathan Raanan, assistant professor of Neurosurgery, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, has performed about 10 such surgeries over the last few years. Raanan described such lower back pain that lasts more than six months or a year as being something of a “big black hole” in terms of treatment. In a magnetic resonance image, the disc becomes darker, indicating it doesn’t have good hydration and that it isn’t an effective shock absorber. Intracept can help reduce the pain. “It’s very satisfying when someone comes in who has tried everything but the kitchen sink to treat this” who then says “I do feel better,” Raanan said. Tuttle’s wife Susan, who has been married to him for over three decades, said the procedure has improved his quality of life. Susan Tuttle said her husband has been able to “do everything he wanted to do.” Ocasio found the idea of Intracept appealing, particularly because it was a one-time effort that didn’t require ongoing follow up visits. “There’s not much out there in the pain management space that’s a non medication, a non-opioid strategy that’s a one and done,” Ocasio said. The surgery is an outpatient procedure and can take anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours, depending on the area over which the nerve is sending a repeated pain signal. Patients either receive mild sedation or are under general anesthesia. “People see results within weeks,” Ocasio said. In some cases, they can get relief within 24 hours. To be sure, the procedure, as with any, involves some level of risk and isn’t appropriate for everyone. Raanan advised potential patients to discuss the risks and benefits with any provider. Starting in January, Intracept will have a Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, code, which will give health care providers a standard way to describe the procedure and insurance companies a way of determining patient eligibility. Until then, patients need to appeal to

indicate to insurance companies what other treatments they’ve had for back pain. In Raanan’s experience, patients sometimes have flare-ups of other pain that is similar to sciatic discomfort after the treatment for days or even weeks after Intracept. “That might be a reasonable trade-off in the eyes of the patient,” Raanan added. Deadening the nerve doesn’t cause any loss of control of motor function, Ocasio said, as the nerve provides a sensory benefit while others provide necessary muscle control. “You still have multiple nerves around that area,” Ocasio added. Candidates for this procedure typically have lower back pain associated with activities that require bending forward, like loading a dishwasher or flexing at the waist, Ocasio described. Ocasio said doctors who perform Intracept receive training under guidance from the company. Patients interested in this approach are anywhere from their 30s through their late 70s, local doctors said. For Daniel Tuttle, the procedure provided relief. “He’s outside, puttering around, doing the things that make him happy,” Susan Tuttle said. The Tuttles are planning a trip to Italy next summer. “It gave me my lifestyle back,” Daniel Tuttle said. Raanan cautioned that, for at least one patient, the relief led to another problem. A female patient returned to working out in the gym, where she exercised so vigorously that she created a different spine injury that he treated. “When patients feel better, they have to remember they are still vulnerable,” Raanan said. “Poor mechanics, postures, flexibility or excessive and prolonged activity come with some risk.”

Health Mood disorders added to list of underlying medical conditions that affect COVID BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Mood disorders, such as depression, can exacerbate COVID-19 and vice versa. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month added mental health conditions like mood disorders to the list of preexisting conditions that could put people at higher risk for the worst symptoms of COVID-19. People with mood disorders join those with physical conditions, such as coronary artery disease, chronic lung disease and diabetes for populations especially vulnerable to the virus. “Individuals with mood disorders may be at greater risk for COVID-19 because of a confluence of factors known to increase the risk in the general population,” Dr. Gregson Pigott, commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, wrote in an email. “Persons with mood disorders are differentially affected by non-communicable diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular disease, which are known to increase the risk of COVID.” Pigott added that social determinants of risk are also more prevalent in people with mood disorders, which could include economic insecurity, insufficient access to primary preventive health care, and lower health literacy. Some people with mood disorders live in community settings, such as psychiatric inpatient units and homeless shelters, where the risks of the spread of COVID-19 is higher because of the difficulty in socially distancing in quarantining, Pigott added. While the initial list of underlying conditions that might make COVID-19 worse dealt with physical health problems, more recent studies have addressed the link between mental health and COVID-19 symptoms and outcomes. “JAMA Psychiatry published a systematic review article and meta-analysis that found an association between preexisting mood disorders and COVID-19 outcomes” that suggest a higher risk of hospitalization and death for this group, Dr. Adrian Popp, chair of Infection Control at Huntington Hospital, explained in an email. Pigott added that the group of people with mood disorders has likely increased during the pandemic, as concerns about health, economic viability, childcare and education can create an overwhelming combination of stressors.

NOVEMBER 11, 2021 • THE VILLAGE BEACON RECORD • PAGE A5

“Research suggests that chronic stress can lead to or exacerbate mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, bipolar disorder, cognitive (thinking) problems, personality changes, and problem behaviors,” Pigott said. Prolonged exposure to illnesses, changes in financial status, socialization patterns and the grieving process are “recognized antecedents to symptoms attributed to mood disorder onset.”

Brain inflammation

The brain reacts to COVID-19 and to some types of mood disorders similarly, making the combination of the two potentially more problematic. “There’s a lot of evidence that suggests that one type of depression may arise because of inflammation in the brain,” Dr. Christine DeLorenzo, professor of Psychiatry and Biomedical Engineering, at Stony Brook University. “It turns out that COVID-19 may also induce brain inflammation, which may exacerbate current depression or even bring about new depression onset.” DeLorenzo also cited several studies that showed that people infected with COVID-19 have demonstrated higher levels of depression. “There have been four or five studies that have looked at [inflammation and depression] and in all of the studies, on average, inflammation was higher in people with a major depressive disorder,” DeLorenzo said. The guidelines for underlying medical conditions that might make COVID-19 worse started with physical conditions and, only recently, added mental health challenges. While people discuss mental health issues more than they did a decade ago, “we still have a ways to go” in recognizing the importance of diagnosing and treating mental health disorders as actively as physical struggles, DeLorenzo said. In her research, DeLorenzo has explored whether an anti-inflammatory treatment may be helpful in certain people with depression. This treatment might also help manage the symptoms of COVID-19. In terms of receiving vaccinations or boosters for COVID-19, health care professionals and officials suggested that residents only need to indicate that they have a defined underlying condition to receive a shot. “People with underlying conditions have not needed to validate this to get the vaccine,” DeLorenzo explained. “Depression is a significant and devastating illness and should be treated the same way” as physical preconditions.

Obituary

Remembering Lynn Frietag Jordan Retired Mount Sinai school nurse Lynn Frietag Jordan’s love for her community didn’t come to an end with her passing. Lynn passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 3, 2021 at the age of 80. Lynn married the love of her life, G. Douglas Jordan, on Sept. 16, 1961 after receiving special permission from Bellevue School of Nursing at New York University. She then completed her nursing degree in 1962. She and Doug initially made their home in Port Jefferson Station, NY where their daughter Phyllis was born. In 1975 they moved to Mount Sinai, welcoming daughters Katherine and Elizabeth into their lives. Lynn was a consummate community volunteer who worked tirelessly throughout her life to make the lives of the young

people in her community better. She served on local PTSA, Suffolk County Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, was a founding member of the Mount Sinai Friends of the Arts, and later served on the Mount Sinai School Board. It is through her three daughters, her granddaughter, Emily, her sister Cynthia Freitag, and all those whose lives she impacted over decades of service to her community that she will live on. Visitations will be at the Branch Funeral Home, located at 551 NY-25A in Miller Place, NY 11764 on Monday, Nov. 15 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Services will begin at 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Lynn’s family would like to ask for donations to be made to Hope House Ministries. Donations can be made online at hhm.org/donate-online.

Editorial

Letters to the Editor

Words matter

A living room in one of the Overbay apartments in Port Jefferson. Photo from the Northwind Group.

The benefits of apartments Throughout the last few weeks, we have been listening to what different candidates have to say when it comes to revitalization and development of our towns. One of the biggest taglines of most elected officials is that they “want to keep young people on Long Island.” That’s great, and young people appreciate the sentiment, but what many don’t realize is the stresses it takes to buy a house in today’s market. Most young people — such as postgraduate professionals — would love to buy their own place at 24 or 25. Unfortunately, many cannot and instead choose to rent as a temporary solution. While there are mother/daughter suites across Long Island, and plenty of accessory apartments that people utilize, legal and illegal, there are other options popping up from Huntington to Selden — larger apartment complexes, such as the ones built and being built alongside local train stations. These developments have been instrumental in keeping young people in our area because, in many cases, the couple fall in love with the town and then proceed to buy a house there. The apartments are simply starter homes to give these new working professionals the freedoms they need to grow up. A big argument that comes out of the development of different areas is that it makes the place “too urban.” While these complexes bring in more people — but not many — they are just adding a bit to an already developed community. Take Huntington village or Port Jefferson — these two areas are already considered downtowns. Adding apartments to a place that resembles a small city isn’t completely out of the ordinary. Embracing the development where appropriate can be good for our communities. It can help our children and our neighbors start their own lives. It may look a little different than 30 years ago, but this is the new normal.

Fred Bryant and Irene Ruddock. Photo by Marlene Weinstein

Thanks to Fred Bryant

I would like to bring to the attention of the editors and readers of The Village Times Herald the name of a local citizen who has contributed vastly to our community. Art lover, Fred Bryant of Bryant Funeral Home, has been the sponsor of the Setauket Artists for 16 years. During that time, his yearly contribution has helped with purchases that have made the local exhibit the professional show that it has become, now drawing talented artists and loyal viewers from all over Long Island. Because we exhibit in the historic Setauket Neighborhood House, we had to use a unique picture hanging system that preserved the walls of the building, a system which Mr. Bryant generously provided. From brochures to announcements to the many expenses such an exhibit requires, Mr. Bryant’s help has continued to light the way for local art to shine in our community. I’m proud to say that, today, the Setauket Artists are exhibiting for the 41st year. We will always be grateful to Fred Bryant for his magnanimous and kindhearted support which has made this kind of success possible. Irene Ruddock President of Setauket Artists

In a recent letter to the editor, Charles Cozzolino accuses me of leaving out facts and “destroying civil discourse” [“What’s wrong with today’s politics,” Nov. 4]. He also says that I am ignoring studies regarding immunity following contracting COVID-19. Unfortunately, it is him who is spreading misinformation in his letter, which I will take the opportunity to correct. As Cozzolino stated, there have been studies on increased immunity after having COVID-19. He fails to mention the numerous medical journals and organizations saying that immunity is not a substitute for vaccination. According to the National Institutes of Health, “The details of this immune response and how long it lasts after infection have been unclear.” The NIH also said that compared with unvaccinated participants, those who received at least one dose had higher antibodies and a nearly 50-fold increase in neutralizing activity — vaccination boosts the memory antibodies that develop after infection. The Journal of the American Medical Association corroborates this assertion: “Unvaccinated health care workers appeared to have less protection against the Delta and Beta variants compared with Alpha about a year after they recovered from mild COVID-19. While 88% of this group had neutralizing antibodies against Alpha, only 47% neutralized Delta.” And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released a study showing that “vaccinederived immunity is more powerful than immunity derived from a previous coronavirus infection. Unvaccinated people who’ve previously had COVID-19 are twice as likely to be reinfected with the virus compared to those who are vaccinated and were previously sick.” Words matter. It’s why I use them carefully and judiciously. And I stand by my assertion that U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] and state Sens. Alexis Weik [R-Sayville] and Mario Mattera [R-St. James] are failing as politicians to do

their civic and moral duties when they do not use their platforms to promote public health in the form of vaccines and masks. Too many Americans have died from a preventable and highly infectious disease, and public servants should be on board with getting our nation toward herd immunity. Anything else is a dereliction of duty. My stating this is not “destroying civil discourse,” I leave that to the folks on Cozzolino’s side of the political aisle, including Zeldin, who refused to accept the results of a free-and-fair election, and spread misinformation that contributed to the violent insurrection on the Capitol on Jan. 6. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Major victory

Tuesday night, Nov. 2, was a major victory not only for the American people but also for the American ideals of freedom and democracy. Voters across the county, the Island, the state and the country came out in droves to express their repudiation of the radical agenda of the Biden administration and the far left. Divisive tactics executed by those running to the left — toward socialism — faltered in the face of true American ideals. Capitalism triumphed over socialism and voters took to the voting booth to defend individual rights. Americans came out en masse and voted to secure our freedom of thought and rejected socialist indoctrination, especially in our schools. All in all, democracy prevailed. As we close the books on this election, we must keep the momentum and move full steam ahead preparing for the midterms one year from now. As a candidate for Congress in the 2022 midterms, I am proud to call myself a Conservative Republican because I know that I am fighting for what’s right. Visit my campaign website at www.cornicelliforcongress.com and reach out to our team at teamcap@ cornicelliforcongress.com to get involved because this campaign is not mine, it’s ours.

Opinion

Looking to control the uncontrollable

ave you ever watched someone who was cheering for their team at a sporting event? Aside from the potential enormous and mindless consumption of calories in the form of hot dogs, chips and beverages, superfans scream at the players, tilt their heads when they want a ball to move in a particular direction, or beg a higher power to help their player outperform people on the other team whose fans are pleading for the D. None opposite outcome. As fans, we have little of the above control over the result BY DANIEL DUNAIEF of a game, especially if we’re watching it on television. Sure, home field advantage likely helps some teams and players, as fans urging their favorites on, standing and

shouting at the tops of their lungs could inspire athletes to raise their level of play. But, really, all of that pleading, begging and cheering into the ether or at the blinking lights on our screens gives us the illusion of control, as if we have some way to influence games. We generally don’t accept or give up control because we like to think that, somewhere, somehow, our wishes, goals and desires mean something to a deity, a guardian angel, or a fairy godmother. To be human is to hope to control the uncontrollable. Give me the inspiration to pick the right lotto numbers, please! Let me ride the subway with my future spouse. Keep me from hitting the curb on my driver’s test! Millions of Americans sit each night with a remote control in their hands, surfing channels, changing the volume and traveling, without getting up from the couch, from a program about ospreys to a fictional story about a female secretary of state who becomes an embattled president. We sometimes revel in the excitement that comes at the point that teeters

between control and a lack of control. When we’re young, we ride a bike with both hands. At some point, we take one hand off the bike. Eventually, we learn to balance the bike with no hands, as we glide down the street with our hands on our hips or across our chest. In our entertainment, we imagine people who have higher levels of control, like wizards with wands or superheroes who use the force to move objects. When we become parents, we realize the unbelievable joy and fear that comes from trying to control/ help/ protect and direct the uncontrollable. When our children are in their infancy, we might determine where they go and what they wear, but we generally can’t control the noises they make, even by finding and replacing their pacifiers. These noises are their way of preparing us for the limited control we have as they age. They make numerous choices, some of which we feel might not be in their longer term best interest. We can see the bigger picture,

which can be as simple as recognizing that taking eight classes while working part time at night and joining the marching band is likely creating an unsustainable schedule. We know how important the basics — sleeping, eating, exercising — are to their lives, even if they make impulse driven choices. One of the hardest parts of parenting may be knowing when to give them the space and opportunity to make decisions for themselves and to encourage them to learn from their choices. Parents are lifetime fans of their children, supporting and encouraging them, leaning to the left to keep a ball in play, to the right to keep it out of a goal, or higher when we want their voices to hit the highest notes in their range during a performance of “West Side Story.” It’s no wonder so many parents are exhausted and exhilarated after a big moment in their children’s lives: we might not have done anything but sit in a seat and clap our hands, but we tried, from a distance and in our own way, to control the uncontrollable.

set that limited Eastern Europeans and Asians in favor of Northern Europeans and Brits. The Great Migration of African Americans from the Southern countryside to Northern cities was seen as a threat and gave a couple of million people impetus to join the Ku Klux Klan by the middle of the decade. Discriminatory hiring and housing practices led to urban ghettos. The horrific Tulsa Race Massacre took place in 1921. The NAACP moved into higher gear. Finally, in 1928, the first African American congressman since Reconstruction was elected to the House from Chicago. There was what historians call a “cultural Civil War” as well. This consisted of citydwellers versus small town residents, Protestants versus Catholics, Blacks versus whites and “New Women” versus those with old-fashioned family values. Many of these themes are repeated a century later. Women, of course, are still working toward a more equitable playing field in the workplace and in politics. Our society has become more liberal, embracing gay marriage, for example, and health care reform. Connectivity, thanks to

the internet and social media, defines us in a much more sophisticated, two-way fashion than the radio did. And technology innovation advances at a faster speed than most of us can catch up. Just as the assembly line revolutionized the production of cars, electrically powered self-driving vehicles are taking to the road. While indoor plumbing was replacing outhouses, today’s toilets can be connected to the internet and send up-to-theminute diagnostic urine samples to physicians. Just as there were threats then, we see them now. Will artificial intelligence or AI put those with lower skills out of work? There are still outcries against immigrants, attributing fears to them from COVID to taking away jobs. Climate change is a more powerful catalyst for environmental protection than Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir. The stock market and the economy have reached unimaginable heights. And while nationalist groups are longing for the imagined glorious past, activists are working toward national ideals that have never quite been realized. We are just emerging from a kind of world war a century later, the villainous COVID-19 pandemic. How will our decade be named?

The 1920s roared. Will we repeat that?

ne hundred years ago, it was the “Roaring Twenties.” The Flappers were the icons then. They were women who shortened their skirts and shortened their hair. They wore makeup and looser clothing, smoked cigarettes in public, drank alcohol, drove cars, and otherwise reveled in what would have been considered unacceptable behavior in the past.

Wildcats crush Red Devils

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

When Center Moriches the No. 8 seed met Shoreham-Wading River the No. 1 seed in the opening round of the football playoff season, the results were predictable. But the Red Devils ran into a freight train Friday night at Thomas A Cutinella Memorial Field when the Wildcats crushed their visitors 70-13.

Leading the way for the Wildcats was freshman Will Hart who found the endzone four times, seniors Max Barone scored three with teammate Liam Leonard punching in twice. Ryan Herr the junior rounded out the scoring for the Wildcats who are now 8-1 and will host the semi-final round Nov. 12. Game time is set for 7 p.m. and tickets can be purchased online at gofan.co/app/school/ NYSPHSAAXI for $8 or $10 at the door.
