Local volunteers have a heart Suffolk County Rotary’s work, 40 years strong, adds decades to girl’s life By elana gloWatz

A 4-year-old girl from Kosovo is recovering after a lifesaving heart operation on Long Island, thanks to the work of local volunteers. It took a village to support Uerda Zena. Rotary groups throughout Suffolk, including large support from the Rocky Point Rotary, lent a hand to the girl and her mother, Barbara, through the Gift of Life program, which works to provide such stateside heart procedures to children from around the globe. Uerda’s Nov. 4 surgery to repair a hole in her heart the size of a nickel was a milestone effort that celebrated the Rotary program’s 40th anniversary.

The atrial septal defect closure performed on Uerda at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn will add 60 or more years to the little girl’s life, Port Jefferson Rotary member Debbie Engelhardt explained, but the surgery was not available in her home nation. Engelhardt, who is also the director of the Comsewogue Public Library, said more than 19,000 children from dozens of countries have received lifesaving surgeries since the Gift of Life program was born in Suffolk County four decades ago and expanded through Rotary International. Rotary groups in the county are still going strong with Gift of Life, which is doubling up its HeART continued on page A10

PERSPECTIVES

Veterans Day has seen fighting through history By Rich AcRitelli

Veterans Day is a time to remember all of our past, present and future members of the Armed Forces, but it was only

about 60 years ago that President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially created the holiday we know today. Much happened on Nov. 11 even before it became a date of remembrance — there were significant

losses and gains for our militaries during this month throughout history. In the fall of 1776, Gen. George Washington was reeling from one loss after another that sent his army retreating from Long Island, Manhattan and across New Jersey toward Pennsylvania. It was a dark moment in the Revolutionary War for Washington to lose ground to the British, though he ultimately led the colonies to victory. During the Civil War, in November 1863, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was summoned to Chattanooga, Tenn., to prevent a total collapse of Union forces against the Confederacy. As Grant headed into the beleaguered city, he saw northern forces terribly hurt from the nearby Battle of Chickamauga. President Abraham Lincoln sent 20,000 soldiers from the Army of the Potomac to aid the defensive and later offensive efforts of Grant to defeat the South in that region, and while the Confederates had been on the verge of gaining a huge victory, Grant opened up the “Cracker Line” to Chattanooga, with additional men, supplies and horses to deter the enemy. Grant’s calm and cool presence helped secure a much-needed victory for a thankful Lincoln, who saw

the battle as one of the greatest tests of survival for the Union. Eisenhower had his own recollections of this date through his experience leading the Allied Forces during World War II. As a new commanding general, he planned the mid-November 1942 allied landings of Operation Torch against the Germans and the Vichy French in North Africa. From Morocco to Algeria, untested American military troops drove to destroy the war machine of Germany. The chainsmoking Eisenhower eagerly waited in Gibraltar for news that his men had achieved all of their objectives against the enemy. Two years later, in the fall of 1944, Eisenhower looked eastward as his forces operated on a broad front against the Nazis in France. By that time, his armies were nearing the German frontier with the belief that their bitter enemy was about to surrender. Little did he know that Hitler was planning a final December offensive, which would later be called the Battle of the Bulge, to drive a wedge against the Allies on the Western Front. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush led the American efforts to destroy the strength VETS DAY continued on page A8

Mount Sinai residents help grant a wish By Giselle Barkley

Every act of kindness counts, especially for Jean Ferrara and her 14-yearold son Kevin. Last June, Kevin was diagnosed with stage-four lymphoma and leukemia. Rounds of chemotherapy took their own toll on Kevin’s body — he faced kidney failure, as well as continuous infections and fevers. Despite a rough year, on Nov. 7, Kevin and his mother experienced an act of kindness they’ll never forget. On Saturday, Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Suffolk County chapter and Sky Zone in Mount Sinai, teamed up to raise money and grant Kevin’s wish of going to Walt Disney World. In honor of the fundraiser, Sky Zone debuted its first glow in the dark jumpa-thon to help raise money for Kevin’s cause. Neon tape, face paint and shirts lit the indoor trampoline park for this 12hour event, which started at 9 p.m. Earlier this year, Make-A-Wish Suffolk County contacted Ferrara, informing the single mother from Bohemia about her son’s Make-A Wish opportunity. To say she and her son were excited is an understatement. According to Ferrara, she had no idea the event was advertised on 106.1 WBLI or that it would attract the magnitude of community members it did.

While it’s unclear how many people attended the event thus far, Nicole Tumilowicz said the event was packed when it began. Tumilowicz is the communications liaison for Sky Zone Mount Sinai. She contacted Make-A-Wish Suffolk looking to host a fundraiser at the trampoline park 10 months after the park opened in Mount Sinai. Kellie Ryan, community relations manager for Make-A-Wish’s Suffolk County chapter, thought Kevin’s wish was a perfect fit. “We just thought that it would be such a great idea to have this jump-a-thon, where kids could come and constantly jump around and bring the same energy that Kevin does,” Ryan said. Although Kevin is currently in remission, he has five more years before doctors consider him cancer-free — he will undergo chemotherapy for three of those years. Doctors at Zwanger-Pesiri radiology in Medford discovered Kevin’s illness after conducting an X-ray and suggesting Ferrara take her son to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital’s emergency department. Doctors then discovered a floating mass in Kevin’s chest. Since Kevin’s lymphoma and leukemia were around the same stage, doctors treated Kevin’s leukemia. “We all hear the word leukemia ... but you don’t know what it is until you’re re-

ally involved,” Ferrara said. According to Ferrara, Kevin went into remission after nearly three weeks of chemotherapy. While the Make-A-Wish Foundation is viewed as a charity that caters to terminally ill patients, Ryan said

the organization grants wishes to children between two and a half to 18-yearsold with life-threatening diseases. “I think that’s really where the magic starts,” Ryan said about granting a wish. MAKE-A-WISH continued on page A13

weeks after Veterans Day, Bush was eating Thanksgiving dinner in the desert with the American military forces that eventually led the fighting into Iraq and Kuwait to defeat Hussein’s Republican Guard army. Over the last 15 years, the United States has been in a constant state of warfare against aggressor and terrorist forces.

From the deserts of Iraq to the mountains of Afghanistan, American service members from across the country have tirelessly fought against an enemy bent on hurting our way of life. Currently, this mission has expanded over the skies of Northern Iraq and Syria to limit the growing expansion and influence of ISIS.

Americans should not neglect the “Forgotten War” veterans of the Korean conflict who bitterly fought against the communists during that Cold War battle, nor the Vietnam War veterans who honorably served for a decade in that Southeast Asian country. May we always remember and honor our veterans from every American conflict, on Veterans Day and throughout the year.

Community man has no shortage of ‘stuff’ to do From Port Jeff Dragon Boat race to Huntington acting scene, Jim Veselovsky remains active native living on North Shore By Carolann ryan

There is no such thing as a boring day for North Shore resident Jim Veselovsky. Veselovsky, a 58-year-old Brentwood native and current resident of Coram, said he likes to keep every day interesting and new. Beginning each morning with a wheatgrass shot from a garden he grows himself, he said he lives by the ideology, “Always try something new, every single day. Use your left hand instead of your right for a day. Try anything different.” He may have lived in several spots across Long Island, but Veselovsky said he is a frequent visitor to the many amenities the North Shore has to offer. When he is not running his welding business of 30 years — JVT Industries — Veselovsky said he spends his time taking acting classes at the Huntington Center for Performing Arts, skiing in Vermont, dancing, exploring nature trails throughout the North Shore, and singing karaoke, just to name a few. “I always love to do stuff. I don’t ever understand how people are bored,” said Veselovsky of his nonstop lifestyle.

representatives shared essays about the importance of celebrating Veterans Day and presented each veteran in attendance with a letter of appreciation; and the technology club offered explanation of the items included on a POW/MIA remembrance table and played a video they created. Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School second-graders also honored local veterans in their lives through song and written words. A song was performed to give thanks and presented the invited heroes with a medal of honor they created.

Rocky Point Middle School students and teacher John Mauceri showcase the morethan-700 letters they wrote for the Long Island State Veterans Home residents.

700 ways to thank a veteran The letters noted how the veterans were appreciated and treasured for their years of service to the country and for protecting the nation’s freedoms. Each resident at the home received approximately two letters just before Veterans Day. The project held a special connection for Mauceri as his father, an engineer and cook during the Korean War, is a resident at that home.

OBITUARY Timothy Rogan Timothy J. Rogan, 62, of Mount Sinai, died on Oct. 31. Born on May 15, 1953, in Hempstead, he was the son of the late Charles and the late Anna (née Aughenbaugh) Rogan. He was self-employed as a contractor. He is survived by his daughter,

Lindsey Rogan; son, Timothy Rogan; sister, Lori Rogan; and three brothers, Kerry, Randall and Charles. Arrangements were entrusted to Rocky Point Funeral Home, where a funeral service was held. Cremation was private. An online guest book is available at www.rockypointfuneralhome.com.

As a token of appreciation for the service and sacrifices made, Rocky Point Middle School students drafted more than 700 letters to veterans living in the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook. The project, which was spearheaded by seventh-grade teacher John Mauceri, involved students in grades six to eight and their social studies teachers.

HEART Continued from page A1

efforts by providing doctors and medical staff in other countries with equipment and training to perform the heart procedures themselves. “It’s a unique, renowned and respected Rotary-run program,” Engelhardt said. Dr. Sean Levchuck, the pediatric cardiologist who performed the life-saving procedure on Uerda at St. Francis, described it as minimally invasive. To close the nickel-sized hole, he fed a catheter “the size of a coffee stirrer” into a vein in her leg and up to her heart, where the catheter deployed a device that, once placed in the hole, expanded to plug it. The cardiologist had to position the device properly while Uerda’s heart was still beating, mostly using ultrasound imaging to guide him. The doctor said the procedure took between 45 minutes to an hour and required a team of nurses, an anesthesiologist and techs to assist with the imaging. The hospital donated the use of its facility and staff for the procedure. Levchuck does about 15 of those procedures a year for Gift of Life, he said, with a fair number of the child recipients coming from Eastern European countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union. He also sees kids from places like Haiti and Jamaica. Just like in those other nations, the procedure to repair a hole in a child’s heart is not available in Kosovo, Levchuck said, because the hospitals don’t have the resources to train their staffs to do it. And the kids who are born with those defects are more prone to pneumonia or respiratory infections, which could also be difficult to treat in a developing nation. “Problems in this country that are seemingly innocent take a whole new look” in places like Kosovo, the doctor said. But he is willing to help: “Keep ‘em coming. … It’s easy to donate time.” In Uerda’s case, plenty of Long Islanders donated their time, with many people pitching in to make the girl’s medical procedure a reality. Sayville Rotarian Joe DeVincent wrote letters to get the girl a visa, and she and her mother are staying with a host family in Northport while here. DeVincent has also provided transportation to the Kosovan mother and daughter. The endeavor to save Uerda had an additional element of kids helping other kids — students at St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, one of whom is Levchuck’s son, raised funds to bring the girl to the United States from her home in the Kosovan capital, Pristina, where her mother works at a bakery and her father at a public works plant. “They’re a fine group of students over there that championed a cause,” the doctor said about the St. Anthony’s kids. “When you see something like that, you really get a nice warm feeling about the future.” Uerda will be staying stateside for a little while longer, and Rotarians are trying to show her a good time. She has already gone on a play date to Chuck E. Cheese and visited a children’s museum,

Clockwise from above: Mom Barbara Zena comforts her daughter Uerda as she recovers from her heart procedure; Uerda poses for a photo with her mother; and the girl is now healthier than ever.

DeVincent said, and this weekend she will go into New York City with her mother and some native Long Islanders to visit Times Square and Rockefeller Center. “Uerda really enjoys being with her mother,” DeVincent said. And she has more energy to do these things than before. “Her heart’s working better, her circulation’s better,” the Rotarian said. “The kid generally feels better than she has in her whole life. So this is a very happy story.” Uerda will also appear at a Taste of Smithtown, an event in St. James on Nov. 17, where there will be food from restaurants along the North Shore. The 10th annual event will run from 6 to 9 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown on Middle Country Road and will benefit the Gift of Life program, along with the Smithtown Emergency Food Pantry and the Smith-

town Children’s Foundation. The plan is for the Zenas to head home on Nov. 22, to be reunited with Uerda’s father and her 18-month-old brother. “Her mother is in touch with her family in Europe through her cell phone and … Uerda has spoken to her brother over the cell phone,” DeVincent said. “She’s actually very maternal toward her younger brother.”

It is a happy ending for both the Kosovo family and Suffolk County Rotarians. “When you’re doing something like this with an adorable 4-year-old child, it brings you tremendous satisfaction,” DeVincent said. “This is the best way to spread happiness, certainly for these children and their parents but also for yourself. Nothing that I do or have done in my life has brought me as much joy.”

Following the matchup, the Panthers took on Class C’s No.1-ranked and Suffolk County champion Pierson/Bridgehampton, and edged out the opposition, 1-0, for the Small School champion title. On Sunday, Miller Place traveled to Dowling College’s athletic complex in Shirley to take on Garden City in Long Island Class B championship. Both goals were scored off of penalty strokes, despite sophomore goalkeeper Ally Tarantino making nine saves in goal. Photos by Desirée Keegan

“It takes [their mind] off the dark period that they’re facing.” Mount Sinai residents, like Diana Mlyn and her daughter Emily, were among the many who supported Kevin’s wish and attended the fundraiser. Although they didn’t know Kevin personally, Mlyn, a pediatric respiratory therapist at Stony Brook

Hospital, supports organizations like Make-A-Wish. She’s seen many kids benefit from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For Kevin’s mother, having community members like the Mlyns at the event was a simple act of kindness that resonated with her. “Every little thing, whether it’s a ‘Hello how are you?’ or something like this, is a gift,” Ferrara said. “When you feel people care ... that’s the greatest gift you can get.”

After listening to a number of concerns from local residents and witnessing major car accidents, Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) is seeking to improve traffic safety along major roadways in Suffolk County. By working with the New York State Department of Transportation, the Suffolk County Legislature and local community activists, Anker is identifying problem areas on busy roads and in school traffic zones. In March 2015, she established a School Traffic Safety Commission, unanimously approved by the Suffolk County Legislature, to identify traffic safety concerns near schools by working with school dis-

tricts and the Suffolk County Police. “With the increase in development, our roads have become more congested, so we must address the need for increased traffic safety measures,” Anker said. “The commission and input from our residents will provide guidance towards making our community safer.” Legislator Anker is now working to identify problem areas along main roads, such as Middle Country Road and Route 25A. She is currently a member of the Middle Country Road Task Force, which is identifying and addressing safety issues on the state road. If you have a traffic safety concern, contact the office of Legislator Anker at (631) 854-1600.

OPINION

File photo

More and more solar panels have been installed on local homes and buildings.

Seeing the light File photo

State law dictates pedestrians must stay to the right when sidewalks are not present.

Be careful walking Photo from Joe DeVincent

Barbara Zena and daughter Uerda, from Kosovo, are all smiles as the 4-year-old gets U.S. medical help for a heart defect.

Health care is a lifesaving gift

Simple but necessary medical procedures we receive in the United States are often something we take for granted, but they are miracles to many people around the globe. Take, for instance, the case of 4-year-old Uerda Zena, a girl born in Kosovo with a heart defect. Rotary volunteers across Suffolk County and the North Shore recently brought her to this country through their Gift of Life program so she could receive a lifesaving heart operation. Uerda had a hole in her heart the size of a nickel, but the procedure to repair it was not available in her home country because the hospitals there do not have the resources to train their staff. Uerda’s case is not an isolated one. Young children from developing and disadvantaged nations around the world, including in Eastern Europe, much of Africa and South America, do not have access in their home countries to medicine and surgical procedures they desperately need. Several global organizations have made it their mission to provide procedures like the one performed on Uerda, but Americans tend to forget that those organizations are necessary at all. If an American child is born with a cleft lip or a detectable heart defect, it is fixed as soon as possible and without the child needing to trek hundreds of miles — or thousands, in the case of Uerda. We should be grateful for all the lifesaving procedures we have at our fingertips. And maybe instead of spending some of our money on a discounted plasma screen television on Black Friday, we should donate to causes like Gift of Life.

TO ThE EdITOR: In last week’s Port Times Record, an arrest for driving impaired was noted, in this case the offender being charged with being under the influence of heroin. New York State laws require that pedestrians walk facing traffic where there are no sidewalks, keeping as far to the right as possible. I walk quite a

Thank you TO ThE EdITOR: I want to thank you for your support in re-electing me as your Superintendent of highways. For the last two and a half years, my staff and I have worked extremely hard to improve Brookhaven’s infrastructure and clear town roads as quickly as possible during times of inclement weather. As your superinten-

Such confidence that every driver is paying attention is, I believe, misplaced and could and has had tragic consequences.

dent of highways, I will continue working on the path of modernizing the department and advocating for additional funding from all levels of government to meet Brookhaven’s infrastructure needs. It is certainly not an easy task maintaining 3,350 lane miles of town roadways with 200 men and women. however, collectively as a team we will continue to rise and meet that challenge.

Stanley M. Blumberg Port Jefferson

I am humbled by the overwhelming response I received from residents this past Election day, and with sincere gratitude would like to thank the men and women of the highway department for their tireless efforts. Together we will continue moving Brookhaven forward to the benefit of all residents. dan Losquadro Superintendent Brookhaven highway

TO ThE EdITOR: I hope readers do not conclude that there is only one local business providing solar power after reading “SUNation helps solarize Brookhaven Town” in the Oct. 15 issue. Interested people can find quite a few companies to choose from. As in most fields, some businesses address particular needs better than others. We were happy with R&B Quality Electric.

What a dog’s life: food, family and fights

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

N

ow that the pumpkins are disappearing, I can get ready for the best holiday ever. It’s only about 14 weeks before everyone comes for Thanksgiving. Confused? I’m the dog and you have to multiply any time unit by seven. Keep that in mind when it

looks like I need to relieve myself. That “one more minute and I’ll take you out” line becomes especially painful when your 10 minutes is more than an hour of leaning against the wall, desperately trying not to be a “bad doggie” by relieving on the carpet. What do I love about Thanksgiving? Let’s start with the food. There’s always someone — a vegetarian, a vegan or a messy kid — who wants to remove turkey from their plate without offending the host. With the guests coming into an unfamiliar kitchen, I get plenty of scraps that don’t make it into the garbage. When these people turn their heads quickly to look at a touchdown, they miss the garbage can with the food they’re shoveling off their plate. Once in a while, I push the garbage can an inch or two to the left or right when no one is looking.

The weather is perfect for me. I walk around all summer wearing this heavy coat with my tongue hanging down by the f loor, and waiting for the leaves to change. I can’t wait to get outside and roll around on the ground, scratching my back and breathing in the cool air. Besides the food, my favorite times are when there’s a big fight. I know these people don’t come together to argue, but they can’t help it. They’ve got old wounds, they don’t get along all the time and their kids have huge differences. People go from barking at each other, to walking away, to barking and stomping, to whimpering. I can relate to all of that. It doesn’t happen every year, especially now that everyone holds their electronics and ignores people in the room. Still, there’s the potential for howling. Now, while I wouldn’t

suggest arguing, it can and does have its benefits for me. Every time someone gets upset enough, he or she grabs the leash and takes me for an incredibly long walk. That’s when they talk to me while I’m out there doing my usual sniffing for signs of other dogs on my pathway. This one time I was sure I smelled a mixture of a Great Dane and a greyhound. That must have been one huge dog. I’ve had dreams about meeting that dog and challenging him to a race. I know I’m just a mutt, but I get big ideas and maybe the holidays will bring more than another bone and a pat on the head this year. Anyway, people sometimes get on their knees and pet me while they look deep into my eyes. I look back at them and see why humans and dogs first became friends. Their eyes look so doglike sometimes, it’s in-

Maybe the holidays will bring more than another bone this year. credible. And the cool thing is, if the light is right, I can see a small dog in the black part of their eyes. I keep wondering when I’ll meet that dog or if, maybe, deep down inside those eyes there’s a dog waiting to come out. Bottom line? Don’t ask too much of me now. I’m saving my appetite for the big weekend and for all the exercise and heart-to-heart talks. Woof!

For one, she is going a long distance, and while her friends are promising to visit her after she is settled in her new home, we all know that’s not the same as being able to pick up the phone and set a time to get together later that day. Also lurking in the back of our minds is awareness that she

will be out of reach should we need the vital help of a friend. While we are happy for her in her choice of a next chapter in life, we are selfish in viewing sadly our imminent loss of her regular companionship. We have known each other, she and I, for almost 40 years. We met through the newspaper, as I have met so many wonderful people, and over time our friendship developed. We share a lot of the same interests: zipping into the city with tickets to the theater and enjoying a good dinner and glass of wine before or after the performance; lustily cheering on the Yankees in their stadium; wandering through museums to chuckle over the same funny exhibits; being in awe of James Levine as he conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood in Massachusetts; comparing notes after a fabulous concert by the Emersons at the Staller; playing competitive tennis singles in the good old days; and talking over prob-

lems with our children as they were growing up. The idea that she will not be easily available to share those activities makes me morose. I am at the age where friends are, for one reason or another, leaving. While I lost my husband 28 years ago, I have always regarded that as an anomaly. Who expects one’s spouse to die at 50? But now we face a fearsome trend: Two close friends have died in the recent past, as have three first cousins; now one more friend is joining the parade of those moving away. She is, of course, entitled to her own life. And while it is hard to forgive her for leaving, all her many friends and I understand why she is moving. She has gone through the many-tiered ordeals of picking up roots and going elsewhere: getting her house ready and then putting it up for sale; researching movers and hiring one; sorting through her accumulated stuff of half a century and countless souvenirs

dragged back from many trips in the world; taking care not to leave behind dental and medical records; shutting phone service and arranging to have mail forwarded — and heaven knows what else. Then there is what I would imagine to be the hardest part of all: saying goodbye to longtime and maybe not-so-longtime friends. As she ages, our friend doesn’t want to be a burden on anyone. This is one noble aspect of her character, and she believes she has found a solution to that perennial dilemma of every generation. Our times have provided facilities to meet the needs of the aging with assisted living, where an individual’s physical and mental requirements are met, even as they change with the years. And she is moving to a place where she will have her children nearby to oversee those needs but without having to be the primary caregivers. It sounds like a good deal.

As she ages, she doesn’t want to be a burden on anyone. Which drives the question home to the rest of us: How will we best cope with the inevitable infirmities of aging if we are lucky enough to live so long? Reality is tough. Dealing with it is even tougher. My friend has implemented what she believes will be the least burdensome, most efficient solution for herself and her family. In so doing, she has underscored yet again her totally unselfish nature. Not all of us are of such exalted character. We cling to our comfortable possessions and the familiar structure of our lives as if we could forestall change. But of course we cannot, and so each of us has eventually to come to terms with the endgame of our lives.
