In the early morning hours of July 30, members of the Setauket Fire Department along with firefighters from surrounding companies battled a kitchen grease fire at Mario’s restaurant in East Setauket. Lou Lasser IV of Mario’s said no one was in the restaurant when the fire, which spread to the ceiling, broke out. Due to the heat, tents were set up in the adjoining parking lot to keep the first responders cool. The restaurant is closed until further notice.

Santa makes summer visit to Stony Brook BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Santa Claus took time off from his vacation to visit pediatric patients at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital July 29. Decked out in shorts and flip flops topped off with his signature jacket and hat, Santa stopped by the children’s rooms at the hospital delivering gifts with the help of officers from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department. For the second year in a row, Correction Officer Peter Lambert organized a toy collection to help Santa with his visit. The officer was impacted by the passing of Ryan Zinna, a child who suffered from medulloblastoma, and the toy drive was

conducted in Ryan’s honor. Patients and their siblings were excited to see Santa, and he didn’t forget the parents as those on hand received Starbucks gift cards. Santa sat down and talked with each of the patients. Avery, 9, from Florida, who became sick while on vacation, said she would give a bigger toy she received from him to another child since she would be traveling on a plane the next day. Macklin, 11, from Wading River, was painting a model toy when Santa entered his room. He told him how he wanted to be an engineer when he grows up. And 12-year-old Brady, from Aquebogue, told Santa he would be both the cops and robbers when he plays with his new toy. — Photos by Rita J. Egan

Long Island

New Jersey’s Investors Bancorp to acquire Long Island bank chain in $63M deal BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Investors Bancorp, Inc., based in Short Hills, New Jersey, announced its acquisition of Islandia-based Gold Coast Bancorp, Inc. last week. According to a press release from Investors Bancorp, consideration will be paid to Gold Coast stockholders in a combination of stock and cash valued at $63.6 million. The deal is based on Investors’ July 23 closing price of $11.20. Gold Coast had assets of $563 million, loans of $463 million and deposits of $486 million as of March 31. “We are pleased to partner with Gold Coast, a commercial bank with deep ties to the Long Island community and a strong track record of

growth,” said Investors’ Chairman and CEO Kevin Cummings in the press release. “This transaction strengthens Investors’ current suburban Long Island franchise and deepens our presence in this large, affluent market.” Gold Coast founder John Tsunis said in a phone interview that the Long Island bank chain needed larger facilities to support its business. He said it could only facilitate up to $10 million in business as it had a cap. “To better service our customers, we needed to get more capital to support what our customers are doing,” Tsunis said. “To do that we either had to raise capital in the markets or merge with another bank.” Tsunis, the current CEO and chairman of Gold Coast, said Investors Bank is the largest commercial bank in New Jersey with

an approximately $23 billion balance sheet, in contrast to Gold Coast’s $700 million balance sheet. Investors Bank will be able to offer more services than the smaller community branches of Gold Coast, he said. The new offers will include points and larger facilities. “With seven branches we’re limited in our reach and our scope around our branches,” Tsunis said. Gold Coast Bank will now be called Investors Bank and all branches will remain open. In addition to its Islandia headquarters, Gold Coast has locations in Huntington, East Setauket, Farmingdale, Mineola, Southampton and Brooklyn. Investors Bancorp’s CEO and chairman of the board have visited the Island to meet with employees. Most employees are

expected to continue working at their branches. Tsunis will stay on as chairman of the regional advisory board. He said he would continue to facilitate the growth of the relationships Gold Coast has established in its communities. All of the Gold Coast board members have been offered a board position on the Investors board on Long Island as well. Tsunis said he feels the move will be a good one for Gold Coast customers. “We endeavored to be a community bank in the areas we serve, and they subscribe to the same philosophy,” Tsunis said. Investors Bank has 147 branches in New York and New Jersey, with seven located on Long Island. Locations can be found in East Northport, Commack, Wantagh, Mineola, Manhasset, Merrick and Franklin Square.

Police officers look to parents, motorists for help when it comes to reckless bicyclists BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Motorists are discovering a new trend and distraction on local roads. Across the North Shore, teenagers on bicycles have been playing chicken with cars — pedaling into oncoming traffic, swerving their bikes close to vehicles and popping wheelies in the middle of the road. Sometimes they are in pairs and other times in groups of up to a couple dozen. Children playing chicken with cars has become a hot topic in various Facebook community and parents groups. Members of the Smithtown Moms Facebook group have witnessed 20 children on bikes spreading out across Meadow Road in Kings Park, doing wheelies. In the Three Village area, junior high schoolers were seen cutting off cars at Bennetts Road and Route 25A and laughing about it.

What police officers are doing about it

When it comes to the incidents, Suffolk County Police Department’s 4th Precinct is hoping to get ahead of potential injuries and fatalities in its community as well as the whole of Suffolk County. Officers have compiled a video with clips of teens creating havoc on streets such as Meadow Road in Kings Park, Commack Road near the entrance to Northern State Parkway in Commack and Lake Shore Drive in Lake Ronkonkoma. While the video includes clips from Smithtown, 4th Precinct officers said the cases can be used as examples at any precinct. The purpose is to use the video to educate parents after officers stop a youth for reckless bicycling. In these circumstances, the law enforcers confiscate bikes and bring the teenagers to the precinct. Parents are then called, according to Deputy Inspector Mark Fisher. He said many ask why the police department is putting so much effort into the trend. “The realities are it’s a tremendous danger,” Fisher said. “I would say it is as deadly as heroin. In some ways, on a particular day and time, because you are going in front of cars, and you are risking people-on-the-road’s lives. In a lot of ways, it’s a tremendously big deal, because if one 14-year-old gets killed or his life changes dramatically because he’s crippled for life. We want to avoid that.” Commanding Officer Michael Romagnoli said it’s not a new problem, but the number of incidents has increased over recent months. The police department does not want to dissuade people from riding their bikes, he said, they just want them to do it safely. “We’re not against them riding their bikes,” Romagnoli said. “Bicycling is actually a great sport. I’m not even opposed to the stunts provided that they are not doing it in the middle of a highway or a road. It’s not the location to do that. They are subject to vehicle and traffic regulations.”

Romagnoli said many teenagers might not realize how dangerous it is. “The control of the bicycle is the steering, the handlebars,” Romagnoli said. “Right now, they are relying on balance, and they are relying on a motorist not to hit them when they are doing that swerve. Because they can’t predict how the motorist is going to react to their actions.” Captain Karen Kolsch agreed. “They are not doing the stunts on the side of the road to see how long they can do a wheelie,” Kolsch said. “They’re going in front of traffic, trucks, cars. It’s like the thrill of being in that unsafe position that they’re looking for.” The officers said the intent of the 4th Precinct’s video, compiled by Officer Kelly Neeb, is to provide an opportunity to educate parents on how dangerous the situations are instead of punishing the riders. In turn, they are hoping the video will create a conversation between parents and teenagers. Just like many teens take to social media to post their stunts, Neeb takes to the same resources to see what the bicyclists are doing on roads and how parents are reacting to the tricks in Facebook groups. The officer even found one bicyclist post a flyer that was circulating on social media warning children and parents about the dangers. On the Instagram account 631vinny, the user posted about the flyer, “That’s funny. I can honestly care less.” “To them, it’s a big joke,” Neeb said. Recently, after the Meadow Road incident where the officers brought the group of bicyclists to the 4th Precinct, parents were upset at the officers when they first arrived to pick up their sons. Fisher said once they explained what the teenagers were doing on the roads, and they showed the parents the video, their anger subsided.

What parents can do

The officers said parents need to sit down with their children and ask who they are spending time with and discuss the rules of the road. Bicycles are treated as vehicles, and their handlers must follow the same laws as cars and trucks. “The last thing we want to do is go to a home and tell their parents that your child was struck by a vehicle,” Romagnoli said, adding an accident between a car and bicycle would be a tragedy to the motorist too. Romagnoli said as the sun goes down it becomes difficult for drivers to see with little to no adequate lighting on many roads. Due to this, bicyclists need to have lights or reflectors on their bikes, so they can be seen. The commanding officer added that to compound the problem, many riders are not wearing helmets. Fisher said parents should be aware that most rides start out harmless. “A lot of this starts as a bike ride, and then it progresses to the stunts,” Fisher said. “They want to outdo each other. They have some games where they get points for certain stunts.” Neeb also suggested that parents check their children’s social media activity from time to time since some post videos of their stunts or invitations to meet up. She said even conducting general research online can help parents educate themselves as to what is going on with young bicyclists. One YouTube account 631.BikeLife shows some of the stunts. Kolsch said it’s understandable that parents are glad to see their teens outside doing something physical and may not realize what they are up to. “They’re thinking they’re not sitting inside with the Xbox all day and so happy to see them doing something they think is good,” she said.

How motorists can be vigilant

The first step is for motorists to be aware that this is happening on local roadways, and the officers said drivers should treat reckless bicyclists as they would any other hazard in the road. Slow down, stop if you have to and let the hazard pass. They also said to call 911 and to be as descriptive as possible, including descriptions of bikers and bicycles, location, number of riders, if they were swerving, crossing double lines, standing on their bikes or anything else that will help officers. Romagnoli suggested treating an incident with a reckless bicyclist the same as “following behind someone who may be an intoxicated driver.” If pedestrians encounter problems with a bicyclist on a sidewalk or while they are crossing a road, they also should call 911. Motorists should avoid altercations with the bicyclists, and if an accident occurs, especially when a rider has been hit, Kolsch said drivers involved should not leave the scene and make sure to get all witnesses’ contact information. Anyone with information about such incidents also can call 631-852-COPS.

Spreading the word

In addition to the 4th Precinct officers open to sharing the video with other precincts, Fisher said they also are reaching out to school districts to see if they can show the video in schools to let parents know this is happening. The officers said while there can be incidents where bicyclists can be brought up on charges or parents can be fined, depending on what transpired and the age of the teenager, they’re hoping to avoid such a situation with the educational video. “We’re not looking to arrest people,” Kolsch said. “We’re looking to keep people safe.”

Opinion Give bikers a chance

There was a time when we were all children, and while some of us may claim to have been perfect saints of juvenile life, many of us surely broke the rules. Long Island is a particularly strange place to grow up. Its suburbia is often bordered by mini-metropolitan areas, but for long stretches of the North Shore, there is nothing but roads and the trees that border them. That brings us to the bikers, the terrors of the streets. Pedals pumping, wheels in the air, driving in and around traffic, these young bikers have left an impression on local Facebook groups, to say the least. We hope parents will have a conversation with their children about bicycle safety relating to our article in this week’s edition of the paper. But what has changed to create this fad of running bicycles in dense areas? Really, has anything changed? There’s been no new bike technology that makes popping a wheelie easier. There’s no singular popular figure emphasizing kids take their bikes to the streets. In fact, you would likely have a harder time finding a house on Long Island that doesn’t have at least one bike in its garage. The thing is, there is no real safe place for the youth to ride their bikes in this manner. If a person started biking from Rocky Point, it would take traveling all the way to Huntington or Riverhead just to find a single skate park that can accommodate a more adventurous biker than hike and bike trails can handle. That’s not to mention just how dangerous our roads truly are. According to a 2015 report, seven out of 10 of New York state’s most dangerous roads are right here on Long Island, including such roads as Route 25. Not to give any sort of pass to the young people playing chicken with a vehicle four times its size with twice as many wheels, but the case of these bicyclists is just one story that is the saga for youth having nothing to occupy them on the North Shore. No, the kids should not be allowed to bike in and out of traffic, intimidating those behind the wheel. They are a danger to themselves and others, but ask what they should be doing instead? There is a significant lack of skate parks in which people can ride their bikes. The Rails to Trails project, which will create a hiking and biking trail from Wading River to Mount Sinai, is a good start, but we still do not have a confirmed date when that project will begin, let alone at which end of the trail construction will kick off. There is also the Greenway Trail from Port Jefferson Station through Setauket, but again, that will only scratch the itch of those into a relatively leisurely ride. For years now, kids on the North Shore have had very little in terms of outdoor sports for those who are not into the classic school-based team sports. Perhaps it’s time North Shore parents, officials and business leaders think about finding a better place for those kids to bike, where they won’t drive into traffic. There is obviously a market for it. Or maybe we should start an organization like the Peace Corps, only local in scope, to encourage our young to aid the elderly and the needy. All that youthful energy could be put to a more noble purpose.

Letters to the Editor

Finding a cure for political disorder Trump Derangement Disorder is a deep-seated condition of denial. It was first diagnosed immediately following the 2016 presidential election results and had rapidly reached epidemic proportions. To this day, millions of deluded people are still suffering with the “never Trump” syndrome. If President Donald Trump [R] discovered a cure for cancer, those same people would be outraged, and chanting, “Trump infringes on my constitutional right to die from cancer!” or “Curing cancer is racist — cancerous tumors have rights too,” or “My cancer entered illegally, but it’s here and we should nurture it.” And I don’t have to tell you how CNN (Clinton News Network, arm of the DNC) would spin it. And then we have our do-nothingexcept-resist-sensible-legislation U.S. Congress, the majority of which are suffering from advanced stages of TDD. It is more believable that divine intervention,

and not Russian, intervened with the 2016 election results, yet most of Congress and the media are so delusional from the disease that they keep pushing their false narratives. Trump is not perfect, and neither are you nor I, but he doesn’t have lobbyist money controlling him. He doesn’t have political correctness restraining him. And he’s not an accomplish-nothing career politician; that’s why he was elected. He is unconventional, certainly, but unconventional is what is needed at this point in time to move “our country” in the right (small “r”) direction. Unfortunately, many of this paper’s readership will vote for one of the almost two-dozen blithering idiots competing for the Democratic Party’s nomination, for no valid reason other than voting against Trump. However, I perceive that the average intelligence quotients of people in the Three Village area are of a number which is sufficient to have them seriously

look into whoever the front-runners are. So far, none have a solid platform on which to run, except beat Trump, and give away everything free — no solutions, no sensible policies for anything. So, how do we cure TDD? We can start by ingesting a dose of reality. The reality that the current administration’s policies are working to benefit us all. The reality that most of the media and most of our U.S. Congress are blinded by their hatred for our president, and can’t see the reality before their eyes. For example, that the situation on our southern border is not a “manufactured crisis,” etc., etc. If this derangement disease is not drastically curbed by the time of the 2020 election, I fear that the people who are still afflicted with it may implode when, not if, but when Donald J. Trump wins again. Art Billadello East Setauket

Zeldin is answering to billionaires In the recently disclosed second quarter FEC filing, it came to light that Congressman Lee Zeldin [R-Shirley] took in almost half of his donations from corporate PACS, including ExxonMobil, defense contractor Raytheon and Koch brothers. His association with these PACS provides a great deal of insight into how and why Zeldin votes the way he does and illustrates why it’s crucial that NY1 District votes him out. Zeldin has repeatedly voted against environmental protection legislation, and has a lifetime score of 10 percent from the League of Conservation Voters. It’s not surprising that a man who’s bought and paid for by ExxonMobil isn’t interested in pursuing

solutions that protect our environment over his big donors’ interests. Zeldin has also voted against ending our support for the Saudi war in Yemen and has beaten the drums of war with Iran. It’s no surprise, given that he’s beholden to Raytheon, which stands to profit off of endless war. Zeldin has also voted against union rights, which makes sense, given his fealty to the fervently antiunion Koch brothers. When you look at some of Zeldin’s individual donors, like billionaires Sheldon Adelson and hedge funder Kenneth Griffin, it explains why Zeldin has not lifted a finger to fight to restore our SALT deductions. His donors have benefited tremendously from

the Trump tax cuts, while his constituents are paying a price. His loyalty is to the billionaires who fund him, not to the people he’s sworn an oath to represent in Congress. It is clear that Lee Zeldin is not interested in representing the middle class and working poor in New York’s 1st Congressional District. We don’t donate enough to warrant his attention. He’s already bought and paid for by billionaires. We must vote him out in 2020 and elect a representative who understands what working class Long Islanders need from their representative to Congress. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

We’ve now had a letter to the editor unequivocally claiming more than 60 million Americans are “racist” or have “racist tendencies.” The criteria, according to Susan Blake in her July 25 letter, “Choices define who we are,” is as simplistic as her name calling. All you have to do to qualify is support “this Trump administration.” Sue’s deemed him a bigot, so if you refuse to agree with her, you “cannot ... claim you are not a racist.” One could imagine how this crystal clear, sweeping defamation might come as a surprise to the millions of “nonwhites” who voted for and support President Donald Trump [R]. It’s highly

likely they don’t see their political choices as making them bigoted against their own race. There may be any number of good reasons for that. With black people, Hispanics and Asians enjoying historically low unemployment, it could be they’ve seen family, friends and neighbors uplifted through work. Latinos, especially here on Long Island, perhaps think their community has been made safer and benefited significantly from the crackdown on MS-13. If you’re a black minister or preacher who’s given tearful witness to a stunningly disproportionate percentage of black babies being aborted,

it could be you are buoyed with a powerful message supporting life in the womb. For most, it’s probably simply a matter of men and women making electoral and life choices they feel will improve things for themselves and their loved ones. Sadly, it appears Susan Blake, surely “a freethinking person,” made no such allowances for minorities, who might freely disagree with her. Instead, she unceremoniously lumped them in with all those horrible, irredeemable, deplorables, thusly defaming all nonwhite Americans who support the president as racists. Jim Soviero East Setauket

Opinion

Taking our senses on a trip to a LI beach

B

efore the summer ends, go to the beach and close your eyes. Most of us are visually dominant, so we go somewhere like West Meadow Beach and look at everything from the boats and ferries out on the Long Island Sound to the young children running back and forth in and out of the water to the light sparkling across the waves. While all of D. None those are specof the above tacular sensory BY DANIEL DUNAIEF stimuli, they are only a part of experiences we might otherwise take for granted at a local

beach. Our ears can and do pick up so many seasonal cues. We might hear a seagull calling from the top of a bathroom hut to birds flying along the shore. Apart from the music that emanates from phones and radios along the crowded beach, we can hear the wind rustling through umbrellas, the sound of a young couple laughing about the ridiculous thing their friend did the night before, or the splashes a skimming rock makes as it gets farther away from shore. On a day with limited visibility, we can listen to boats calling to each other with their deep horns. Our skin is awash in cues. As clouds float overhead, we appreciate the incredible temperature difference between the sun and the shade. Combined with a sudden gust of wind, our skin feels unexpectedly cool as we wait for that same wind to escort the cloud away. We take off our shoes and allow our feet, which carry the rest of our bodies hither and yon, to appreciate other textures. We

dig our toes into the warm sand and lift our heels, allowing the grains of sand to trickle back to join their granule brethren. We walk to the edge of the water and feel as if we’ve left the office, the shop, the lawn or the screaming kids far away. The lower water temperature draws away the heat that’s built up inside of us. If the surf kicks up, we can slide into the soft sand, sinking up to our ankles in the moistness. Our feet can appreciate the fixed ripples on a sandbar that are smooth, soft and uneven. As we walk up the beach, we can test the ability of our soles to manage through rocks often smoothed over by years of wave and water. We bend our knees more than normal to cushion the impact of a hard or uneven rock. Our noses anticipate the beach before we leave the house. We lather coconut-scented sunscreen on our bodies and across our faces. As we get closer to the beach, we may pick up the marshy whiff of low tide. When we pull

into a hot parking lot, the sweet and familiar ocean spray fills our lungs. Once we’re swimming, our taste buds recognize the enormous difference between the waters of the Sound and a chlorinated pool. When we leave the sea, we head to the warm blanket or towel to partake of foods we associate with the beach, like the sandwiches we picked up at the deli on the way over, the refreshing iced tea or the crispy potato chips. We saunter over to the ice cream truck, looking at a menu we’ve known for years. While we scan the offerings, we lick our lips and imagine the taste of the selections, trying to get those small bumps on our tongues to help us with the decision. We know how fortunate we are when the most difficult decision we have to make resolves around choosing the right ice cream to cap off a day that reminds us of the pleasures of living on Long Island.

laughed about how it was a microcosm of the fourth estate, that is the public press, commenting on the executive branch. We served on the student council together and became close friends. After graduation, when my husband and I were looking to settle somewhere in the New York area, it was she who I called from Wichita Falls in northern Texas to ask if Stony Brook, where her husband was a mathematics professor, was a good place to live. Little did I know that this one night she and her husband had decided uncharacteristically to retire early to bed, and with the one-hour time difference between Texas and the East Coast, I would wake them up with my question. But she waved me on. “It’s home,” she responded in her usual direct fashion, telling me all I needed to know. That is how we happened to move to the North Shore of Long Island. After my husband died and my children all left for college, she stepped in with a surprising offer: How about joining them with an opera subscription? “Where?” I asked. “Why at the Metropolitan Opera, where else?” she smiled. “We would drive into NYC each time?” I responded

disbelievingly. “Yes, and have dinner beforehand,” she said with a gleam in her eye. And that is how I discovered one of my great passions. But before she died, here is her most important gift to us. She was the embodiment of courage. Even as the quality of her life deteriorated, she fought to maintain normalcy, for her sake and the sake of those around her. She went from a cane to a walker, accompanied by her husband, then to a wheelchair, then to a scooter wheelchair that she drove at breakneck speed down Broadway from their West End apartment to Lincoln Center for her subscription performances and more. And as her muscular ability to verbalize diminished, she used the internet and her computer keyboard to stay connected to the rest of us as long as she could control her hands. Watching her struggle was a gut-wrenching anguish. It was also an inspiration. She was not going into that dark night easily. She fought for every inch of the life her parents had saved and she and her husband had made together, and in so doing she showed us not only how to die with valor but especially how to live life to the max.

A woman of great courage

T

his week’s column is dedicated to courage, the particular courage of one person. That person was one of my closest friends, and she died recently. Even though she suffered for five years with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, and we all knew that the end was coming, it is hard to imagine life without her. And isn’t that the height of selfishness, to think of her death as my loss? What about her loss? Never again on Earth to hug and kiss her husband, her children and grandchildren, to cheer when Between they enjoy victories you and me and to commiserate when things don’t BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF work out as they had hoped. Never

again to join friends for an evening at the opera. Never again to enjoy cooking delicious dinner for those lucky enough to be her guests. Never again to exchange insights about the political turmoil through which we are living. Never again to share a deep belly laugh. For her, it has ended. We met as freshmen at college. She was impressive for her strongly held viewpoints during classroom discussions of world affairs, asserting that the Cold War was not just about two superpowers but also included a third bloc of underdeveloped and uncommitted nations. She was also delightfully funny, laughing at the incongruities of life. When we were both assigned dorm rooms on the same floor of the same dorm, I got to know that she was born in Poland in the Warsaw ghetto in 1941, hardly a choice time and place, that she had escaped from the ghetto with her mother and another woman and child thanks to her father’s resourcefulness, and that she had lived out World War II in Warsaw with false papers, both mothers being under extreme duress. My friend went on to be elected editor in chief of the college newspaper, and she sometimes wrote about my actions as class president. We

Firefighters volley for a cause BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Firefighters from all over Suffolk County, as well as New York City, took to the courts at a special volleyball tournament at the Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook July 25. The second annual tournament at the hotel was organized to raise funds for the Lt. Joseph P. DiBernardo Memorial Foundation. The foundation is named after Joseph P. DiBernardo Jr., who was a volunteer with the Setauket Fire Department and one of three New York City Fire Department firefighters injured during a tenement fire in the Bronx

in 2005. In 2011, DiBernardo died from the injuries he sustained in the fire, and in 2013, the DiBernardo family, members of the Setauket Fire Department and Jeff Cool, who DiBernardo helped saved during the fire, established the foundation. On July 25 firefighters from Farmingville, Centereach, Mount Sinai, Coram, Terryville, Setauket, Selden and FDNY Ladder 120, along with a team from Gold Coast Bank including CEO and Chairman John Tsunis, competed. At the end of the matches, the Farmingville firefighters were the champions and donated their $1,000 winnings back to the foundation. — Photos by Ronald Monteleone
