Jane Taylor takes on executive role with chamber BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Three Village Chamber of Commerce welcomed a new executive director at the beginning of September. Jane Taylor, who retired in June as assistant head of The Stony Brook School, has taken on the leadership role. The position has been vacant since David Woods’ retirement last year. Taylor has been involved with the chamber for 20 years and a member of the board for more than five. In June, she was named Three Village Chamber of Commerce Member of the Year. Charles Lefkowitz, first vice president of the chamber, said Taylor is the “last part of the puzzle for the reorganization of the chamber.” Over the last few years, he said the chamber has been undergoing a reorganization that has included planning events 12 months in advance and changing how they arrange networking activities to allow for more mingling. “Jane Taylor is an outstanding selection for the executive director for the Three Village chamber, and she comes with a wealth of community involvement and knowledge of the Three Village area,” Lefkowitz said.

Jane Taylor, third from left, with some of her fellow board of trustee members at the Sept. 26 Three Village Chamber of Commerce meeting. Pictured with Taylor is John Tsunis, Michael Ardolino, Colette Frey-Bitzas, Elizabeth Miastkowski, Gloria Rocchio, Charles Lefkowitz, Andy Polan, Ron LaVita, Leah Dunaief, Billy Williams, Carmine Inserra and the Hon. Howard Bergson, who swore in the members.

Taylor’s association with the organization came about when she first started at The Stony Brook School. She said she felt it was vital to network with community members to talk about issues and connect with local vendors. “I felt it was an organization that was committed to the community and was something that was built on the importance of developing

relationships,” she said. When Taylor, who grew up in Pittsburgh, first moved to the Three Village area with her husband, Robert, 45 years ago, she started working at the school as a physical education teacher and coach. Taylor said when she started she was able to connect with the local athletic communities including Ward Melville and Port Jefferson.

“I realized that people really cared about this place and wanted me to be successful even though we were competing against these schools,” she said. Taylor said her new responsibilities as executive director of the chamber include working with the board identifying goals for the coming year, making sure the e-newsletter is posted, building membership, visiting businesses and not-forprofits in the community, maintaining communication and “whatever needs to be done.” She said she feels local businesses play an important role in communities, covering everything from when a baseball team needs a sponsor to who is hosting the Christmas parade. “The local business community is one of the key elements that make a community healthy and vibrant,” she said, adding that she looks forward to helping local businesses grow. Taylor lives with her husband in Stony Brook, has two grown children and two grandchildren. She said she has learned to juggle a lot in the past and looks forward to her new responsibilities. “You just take what’s in front of you, put one foot in front of the other and assume the goodwill of everybody,” Taylor said.

No fund balance needed, minimal tax increase in 2019 proposed Brookhaven budget BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

growing non-property tax sources of revenue, including a “huge rally” in mortgage tax receipts in recent years. The 2017 operating budget was boosted by an increase in mortgage tax revenue also not seen in nearly a decade, though 2018 estimates are falling slightly short of that performance, according to Romaine. Still, he indicated there are positive signs for the town’s housing market. In 2013, more than 62 percent of the operating budget was funded by property taxes, according to him, compared to an estimated 58.7 percent in the tentative ’19 budget. “We have 41 grants that we have been successful in receiving, and we have another 25 in the hopper,” Romaine said, of other revenue streams for the town. “So by attracting and aggressively going after grant money, we’ve been able to cut down on our dependence on property tax.” The town’s proposed budget includes about $87 million in capital projects for 2019. About $58 million of those funds will be set aside for new capital projects with the remainder going to projects started in prior years. Brookhaven also received a $20 million grant as the winner of New York State’s Municipal Consolidation and Efficiency Competition.

ERIKA KARP

Brookhaven Town residents will see a small increase in their 2019 town tax bill, and minimal use of surplus to balance the proposed operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine’s (R) roughly $302 million tentative spending plan, presented during a media briefing at Town Hall Sept. 28, maintains all constituent services and full-time staffing from the current operating budget, increases funding for road maintenance and keeps the garbage district rate flat at $350 annually. The 2019 tentative budget represents an approximately $8 million increase compared to the current year. The primary cost drivers of the budget cited by Romaine are a collective bargaining agreement mandated cost-ofliving raise for town employees; an extra pay day for all employees in 2019; and a more than 6 percent increase in cost of employee benefits. Still, the proposed budget complies with the state-mandated 2 percent property tax increase cap. Romaine discussed the lack of a need to use fund balance reserve dollars to balance the

budget as a point of pride in presenting the ’19 tentative budget. “One of my key strategic financial goals since taking office in November 2012 has been to bring the town’s finances to structural balance,” he said. “The three-point plan I implemented six years ago has put an end to deficit spending, has rebuilt the town’s surpluses and has improved the town’s credit rating to a AAA with Standard & Poor’s.” Matt Miner, town chief of operations, said it’s been more than a decade since the town had a balanced budget requiring no fund balance. “This is really the highlight of the supervisor’s budget,” he said. “You can see that the town, prior to Supervisor Romaine’s arrival, relied heavily on the use of fund balance surplus to balance its budget and the supervisor has been very aggressive and instructed both [Tamara Wright, town commissioner of finance] and myself and all of the department heads to craft budgets to bring that application of surplus down. Each year, we’ve been doing that and to the supervisor’s credit, it is now at zero in all six major funds, something that really hasn’t been achieved.” The supervisor touted a rededication to

A public hearing on the budget is slated for Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. at Town Hall with expected adoption to take place Nov. 20.

Setauket church celebrates decades of history

THREE VILLAGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Members of a Three Village church are recalling its history with a significant milestone around the corner. The Setauket United Methodist Church, located on the northeast corner of Route 25A and Main Street and known locally as the “light on the hill,” will be celebrating its 175th anniversary Oct. 14 with a special service. Congregants originally gathered in a schoolhouse in 1835 not far from its present location, according to church documents. The Methodist Society of Setauket was formed by Alfred Darling, Peter Darling, Charles Darling, William Cargill and Richard Terrell after attending a revival in Port Jefferson in 1843. They first purchased what was known as the Baptist Meeting House on the corner, and in 1869 members who were employed in the local shipbuilding industry began building the current church when it was agreed that a bigger building was needed. The congregants sold the old church in 1869 and moved the building across Route 25A. The new building was dedicated Oct. 12, 1870. Dennis Hutchinson was baptized in the

with fondness the men and women who have come to guide us through the years as pastors, and I remember the many sisters and brothers who have graced the church and been a loving family to me.” There have been approximately 75 pastors through the decades. Rev. Kim has led the congregation since 2016 and said he is looking forward to the anniversary. “I hope people would rediscover the significance of the great spiritual heritage that has run through Setauket Methodist Church upon our 175th Anniversary,” Kim said. Hutchinson will speak on the day of the service. He said he let Kim know he has a lot to share. “In my little talk that I’m going to give on that Sunday, I have so many things [to share] but I should try to get them home by dark,” Hutchinson said. The anniversary service will be held Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. at the church located at 160 Main St., East Setauket. The service will include sharing memories, guest preachers, a luncheon and a performance by musicians from The Jazz Loft. For more information about Setauket United Methodist Church and the anniversary service, visit www.setauketumc.org or call 631-941-4167.

church in 1939 and has been a member all his life. Through the years, he said he has seen the congregation, which currently includes approximately 500 members according to Rev. Steven Kim, grow due to developing surrounding communities and at times shrink. Hutchinson said he remembers many renovations through the decades, including a new steeple that cost $16,000 in the late ’70s. At a horse show organized by philanthropist Ward Melville, Isaac Lyness, a member of the church, attended the event and was able to meet Melville and tell him about the steeple and the church’s historic significance in Setauket. Melville gave $4,000 to help pay for the new steeple. “That was quite a generous gift at the time,” Hutchinson said. Through the decades, church members held various fundraisers including fairs and bake sales, and Hutchinson said local residents always remember how the church would sell clam chowder in the spring. He said one year they made 600 quarts of chowder. Cecelia Lundquist said during the last 10 years the church members have redecorated the sanctuary and installed a handicapped elevator. Lundquist and her husband, Bob, have been members since 1967 when they moved back to Long Island after her husband was briefly transferred to Virginia. A lawyer they knew from their church in Brooklyn told them about Setauket and suggested they join the church. “We became members of the Setauket United Methodist Church more than 50 years ago,” Lundquist said. “It has been the center of our lives, both spiritually and socially.” Barbara Thomas has been a member of the church since she attended as a child, and she remembers when the children would meet under the sanctuary for a brief service in the basement hall named after Samuel Gurney, a missionary with family in the area. The service would be followed by classes. “I remember long velvet drapes that divided the classrooms,” Thomas said. “The drapes were hung from wire which ran from the walls to the columns that braced the church.” Thomas said the church bought Mechanics Hall, a building near Main Street that was converted into a parsonage for the pastor, and when the Sunday school and church membership grew during World War II, to accommodate the growing congregation, an addition was built to connect what then became the former parsonage. It was named after Carl J. Norton, who once produced Christmas pageants for the church. With the addition, the church now had two offices, and the former parsonage was named after early members of the church, the VanBrunt family. “I am still a part of this wonderful little church and sometimes I witness the return of former members,” Thomas said. “I remember

Marion Thomas

Marion Tuttle Thomas died Sept. 7. “Robin,” as she was known to her friends, was born in Brooklyn Dec. 8, 1930. She was the only child of Marion C. Turner and Walter A. Tuttle. Robin graduated from Smith College in 1952 with a degree in history. After working as a secretary for several years, she attended Harvard University Graduate School of Education, earning a master’s degree. Following that, she worked as an elementary school teacher in Pelham as well as New York City and finally in the Three Village Central School District where she was a beloved fourth-grade teacher. Robin served as a trustee of the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library and the Setauket Neighborhood House as well as being a longtime member of the Caroline Guild of the Caroline Church. Above all, she loved her family and friends but also cared deeply about the welfare of animals — not only her own pets but also animal causes and environmental concerns. She enjoyed reading, the theater and traveling, especially to the British Isles. She and local resident Jean Darrow were pushed in prams around Prospect Park when they were both infants — it was a friendship that would last a lifetime. A few days after Robin passed away, her caregiver brought Jean a Christmas gift and card that Robin had already chosen. The card said simply, “To My Forever Friend.” Robin will be missed by both friends and family and the community she loved. — Kerri Glynn

MARIA HOFFMAN

Albert Specht died peacefully Sept. 21 at the age of 82. He was born in Yonkers and grew up in New Hyde Park and Huntington. He married his beloved wife Mary (McGunnigle) in 1960 and lived in the Three Village area for more than 50 years. They raised six children: Stephen (Richelle), Brian (Joanne), Susan Folan (John), Alan, Michael (Liz) and William (Tanya). All of the children graduated from Ward Melville High School and many members of the family are active in the Three Village community. Al graduated from Hamilton College, majoring in geology. After working with the U.S. Geological Survey out west, he went through basic training in the Marines and then the reserves. His graduate degree was from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He then began his teaching career at Bayport-Blue Point High School as an earth science teacher, also marine biology and plant propagation. Living in Stony Brook and Strong’s Neck, he was able to enjoy his gardening, fishing and clamming interests. After 30 years of teaching, he started a local business selling rocks, fossils, etc. It was an excuse to travel, explore, trade and purchase mineral samples and fossils. His space at Gallery North was popular with the students and others. About 10 years ago, his doctors advised slowing down for his heart’s sake. Dementia added to the family’s concerns in later years. Al is survived by his wife of almost 58 years, his six children, 11 grandchildren, his sister Marcia and brother Robert (Kathy) and many nieces, nephews, friends and former students. Funeral services were held at the Bryant Funeral Home. The funeral Mass was held at Sts. Philip

and James R. C. Church and interment followed at St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Smithtown.

Annual East Setauket apple festival delights

KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Ginger Gold, no matter which apple catches your fancy, all were available to bite on as the nonprofit group Preservation Long Island, Homestead Arts and Benner’s Farm hosted the 29th annual Long Island Apple Festival Sunday, Sept. 30, at Sherwood-Jayne Farm in East Setauket. Throughout the day, volunteers showcased how apples were used in colonial times for making applesauce, pies or cider, stuff that

a man dressed as Johnny Appleseed said was “so good it will make your tongue slap your eyeballs.” The event also included live folk music, hayrides, pony rides, games for kids, tours of the historical Sherwood-Jayne House and an apple pie baking contest. Funds from the event went to Preservation Long Island to continue its efforts to maintain historical places like the Sherwood-Jayne property, among others.

Opinion

Letters to the editor

Missing the point on sexual assault accusations

Your “Picking up speed” editorial published in the Sept. 27 issue makes sense. Long Island Rail Road President Philip Eng’s announcement at a recent MTA board meeting, that he would seek funding in the next MTA 2020-24 Capital Program to pay for both extending electrification on the Central Branch, running east of Hicksville on the Ronkonkoma line to Babylon, and look into the feasibility of doing the same on the Port Jefferson Branch. These are both great ideas worthy of consideration. Estimated costs for electrification are $18 million per mile. Electrification of the 7-mile Central Branch would provide additional options for thousands of riders from Babylon. They could travel from the Central Branch to Jamaica via the $2.6 billion Main Line Third Track. Electrification of the Central Branch could also afford creation of a new north/ south “scoot” service, running from Huntington via Hicksville to Babylon. Electrification of the Port Jefferson Branch beyond Huntington has been proposed on and off for more than 50 years. In the 1980s, MTA and LIRR management decided to go forward with electrification of the Ronkonkoma line rather than on the Port Jefferson Branch. Completion

ERIKA KARP

We have hit the point as a society where it is near impossible to believe a definitive conclusion will be reached that will convince both sides of the political divide as to what happened between Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh in 1982. This is not to say we did not find Blasey Ford’s testimony under oath credible, but we wish the conversation could go in a different, more productive direction on parallel tracks with the predictable political mudslinging. Believe it or not, we see this moment and conversation as far more important than a single seat on the Supreme Court bench, as mind blowing as that may be for some partisans. The tenor of the national conversation following the hearing on the matter before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week is a perfect representation as to why people like Blasey Ford hold accusations back, sometimes for decades. As a country we need to take a step back and figure out why the knee-jerk reaction from so many when sexual assault or misconduct accusations come up is to find a reason to invalidate them. The #MeToo, #WhyIdidntreport and #TimesUp movements have moved the discussion undoubtedly in the right direction, but this week should serve as proof we still have a long way to go. Defining sexual assault and instilling a baseline of acceptable behavior — especially in young men, but all young adults — would be an extremely healthy first step. Legally the term is defined as any unwanted sexual contact. It seems simple when phrased that way, but because of the way rites of passage and coming of age are portrayed and depicted in our society, truly hearing and understanding a partner and being conscious of someone else’s comfort in a certain situation is likely far from the minds of young people in that situation. This should not be read as an excuse for people who cross the line into sexual assault — which is a crime — but rather a demand to be open to communication and self-reflection as a means to avoid perpetuating this type of behavior. If we can get our kids to a place of having that reaction, to look within and take up a dedication to learning from mistakes, instead of the knee-jerk deny, deny, deny, we’ll have taken a critical, if minimal, first step toward a healthier tomorrow for everyone. The U.S. Senate used to be a body looked to for leadership, a place where Americans use their democratic right to send our very best, and most objective, neutral arbiters. Anyone who watched the hearing would scoff at that notion in the present day. We can only hope that once the dust settles on this ugly chapter that body will resume its intended function and becomes a leader in this discussion, regardless of political persuasion.

Port Jeff line electrification is worth it

of the proposed $12 million Port Jefferson Branch feasibility study by the end of 2019 would be a great first step. Eng, MTA senior management, board members and many others may not be aware of past history of this concept. Besides electrification of the Central and Port Jefferson Branch from Huntington to Port Jefferson (estimated $360 million), there is the need to do the same for the Montauk line from Babylon to Speonk ($360 million), on the Ronkonkoma line from Ronkonkoma to Yaphank ($120 million) and Oyster Bay to Mineola ($120 million). All five combined could easily cost more than $1 billion. This does not include several hundred million for a new storage yard on the Port Jefferson Branch

between Huntington and Port Jefferson to support electric multiple-unit MU cars. Once East Side Access is completed by December 2023, all would provide support for a one-seat ride via electric MU cars for service to Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, making the LIRR more attractive to current and future new riders. Height restrictions in the 63rd Street Tunnel built decades before construction of the current East Side Access project, funded in 2006, prevent the LIRR from running duel-mode locomotives and double-decker coaches into Grand Central Terminal. Larry Penner Great Neck Former U.S. transit employee

If you want to breathe, vote If you’re like me, you really feel those air quality alert days. I have asthma. On a good day, I hardly think about breathing. By contrast, on National Weather Service air quality alert days, breathing is a struggle that demands my constant attention. You don’t need a stranger to describe this to you, though. Think of seven people you know in your neighborhood. According to the American Lung Association, one of them suffers from asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and is affected on air quality alert days. Along with older people, children and those with lung cancer, we’re supposed to restrict activities in our glorious outdoors on days with poor air quality, or else struggle to inhale. Or worse: In Suffolk County, around 40 deaths per year result from asthma.

This past summer, it felt like there was an air quality alert every other day. If you have trouble breathing, or you care for someone who has trouble breathing, I’m sure you also noticed that. We don’t have to be passive victims of polluted air. We can vote against politicians who vote against clean air. Lee Zeldin, our U.S. congressman, has voted against clean air several times since 2015. For example, he voted to permanently exempt coal-burning power plants from certain clean air standards. He voted against increasing protection against smog and to undermine EPA rules to reduce smog. He voted to weaken protections that safeguard air from coal refuse burned by power plants. And on and on: His 2017 League of Conservation Voters score is a measly 9 percent. Polluted air affects people regardless of

party affiliation. Unfortunately, in our silly political climate, no Republican can be a friend of clean air. For now, we must vote for Democrats if we want air we can breathe. Perry Gershon, Zeldin’s opponent in the upcoming November election, is new to politics. So he has no League of Conservation Voters score. However, he assures us that he takes air quality seriously. Gershon believes we should work with our allies to fight climate change, and work with the EPA to address cross-state pollution. In addition, he says he will fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality so that our children can lead healthier, happier lives. What an improvement that would be. If you want air you can breathe, vote for Perry Gershon Nov. 6. Teresa Dybvig Stony Brook

Opinion

Seeking the best metaphor to describe the national mood

ith Washington leading the way, we have become a divided nation, bickering, ﬁghting, shouting and disagreeing as if we’re at a competing pep rally. What are we to do? Perhaps we need metaphors to turn the thermostat down. To start with the obvious, perhaps we are a nation of onions. No, we don’t give everyone bad breath D. None and, no, we don’t cause gas. We have of the above layers, as Shrek BY DANIEL DUNAIEF so famously described in his eponymous movie. The surface, which everyone sees, has a layer of anger and frustration, but peel back a few of those layers

and we’re filled with sympathy, empathy and concern for our friends and neighbors who, like us, are pursuing the American Dream. Sticking with the food metaphor, perhaps we’re a kitchen stocked with incredible ingredients trucked in from all over the country. You may never have been to Idaho, but I can assure you that the simple potato in that state is remarkable for its flavor and texture. While we have all these wonderful ingredients, perhaps we have a kitchen filled with too many cooks, who are changing recipes and oven temperatures so often that the food we’re baking will inevitably be unrecognizable and either vastly overcooked or undercooked. Then again, perhaps we’re an enormous cruise ship in the middle of a vast ocean. We’re slowly turning but, because we’re such a huge vessel, we move and change direction at a rate that’s hard to perceive, especially when landmarks are either too far away or are masked by an enveloping fog. Perhaps we’ve become a collection of angry

bees, buzzing loudly, perceiving threats from everywhere and everyone — even inside our own honey-producing hive. Are we truly threatened from within and without, facing insurrection among the ranks of other bees, or are we surrounded by majestic purple mountains? Are we creating such cacophony that we can’t hear the birds singing around us? We may be a batch of apples, looking suspiciously at the other fruit in the bin, wondering if any of us have turned bad, threatening the entire bunch. Maybe we’re on a roller-coaster ride, racing up and down, screaming and shouting as we circle tracks that we fear might need repair, hoping to return to where we were so we can regain our equanimity on solid ground again. Maybe we’ve become a boulder gathering size and momentum as it plunges down a hill. Our anger and frustration propel us forward, even as we ignore the kinds of moments and people who could, and should, unify a country. Have you been to a sporting event lately? I’m

not thinking of the athletes as unifying forces. I’m talking about the salutes to members of the military that often occur during the seventh-inning stretch in a baseball game or during a stoppage in the action in the middle of a hockey game. People throughout the stadium — those who think Trump is either a superstar or an imploding supernova — stand and cheer together, thanking these humble men and women for the sacriﬁce and service to our country. Those heroes among us are the few who might do the impossible, catching the boulder or slowing it down as it cuts a path of emotional destruction through an outraged nation. Then again, maybe the best metaphor to keep in mind amid the ﬁnger-pointing and criticism and self-doubt is the document that got us this far: the Constitution. It is the enduring net that protects the country and its citizens, even when we seem to be shadow boxing against each other on a high wire at the top of a circus tent.

with these particulars when they should be in bed asleep. When I asked, he told me his name and that he was from the 6th Precinct. My hostess instincts rushed to the fore. “Would you like some coffee or a sandwich?” He laughed. It was, after all, a preposterous exchange to be having in the dead of night. “No thank you, but here come the guys from PSEG, right behind the ﬁremen. They will take care of this quickly.” It wasn’t so quick. A courageous soul from PSEG Long Island went up in one of those extending arm buckets mounted on the truck alongside the burning pole to cut the electric wires. At the same time, the entire street was plunged into darkness, no doubt at the direction of the power company. “What caused such a reaction?” my neighbor asked a worker. “Who knows?” he replied with a shrug. “It could be a rodent or a squirrel chewing through the wires.” The responders were a gallant crew, seemingly unperturbed by the excitement. Between the ﬁre trucks and the PSEG trucks, there were interminable blinking lights

and radio noise for a couple of hours. The men went about their jobs in good humor, and when the lines were cut and the fire finally out, they promised to come back the next day. They were able to restore power to the rest of the block but, of course, not to us, before they left. To their great credit, the men were back with trucks by 9 a.m. the following morning. This surface crew dug up the burnt wires, installed a new pole alongside the charred one and reconnected the overhead wires. The underground crew arrived around midday and installed the other wires beneath the soil, laboring until well after dark under bright lights before they finished. By 9 p.m. we had our power back in our house but not the other services that are attached to the pole: cable and telephone. As of this writing, those services are promised shortly. Whatever we grouse about on the national level of our country, it is tremendously reassuring that on the local level we are remarkably well cared for. Three cheers for my helpful neighbors, the police, firemen and PSEG men.

Boom, boom, out go the lights

he lights went out just as I had finished the chapter, and was about to put down my book and go to bed. I looked at my watch, which shines in the dark, and noted that it was past 11 p.m. It was a clear night with no lightning or wind, was my first thought. Probably some driver ran into a telephone pole and disabled a transformer, my brain posited, trying to Between make sense of the you and me sudden blackness. BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF Then the loud noises began. In rapid succession, there was a series of what sounded like firecrackers going off somewhere on our street, close to our house. The acrid smell of smoke began to fill the air.

I briefly thought to go outside, then decided to wait a few minutes before bothering to fumble around for a robe or wake the rest of the house. Within minutes my neighbor across the street phoned. He looks directly at our property. And he said that the telephone pole right beside my driveway was on fire, flames and sparks coming out from the bottom.“We’ve called the fire department, and you seem to be in no immediate danger,” he reassured me. “They said they would be here directly. In fact, here comes a police car now. It’s beaten the fire truck.” Time to wake the house and go outside for a look, I decided, hoping not to trip over any obstacle on my way to the front door. The police car was in our driveway, his lights the only ones piercing the darkness. “What’s happened?” I yelled as he got out and slowly walked toward me. He didn’t want to trip over a tree root or a curb either. “Your telephone pole is burning but not to worry, the firemen will shortly have it under control,” he offered calmly, as if everyone deals

Health Link Health Information from Local Health Care Professionals

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is a worldwide annual campaign to highlight the importance of early breast cancer detection, treatment, education, research, and support services. This year, St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center’s Breast Health Program will invite over 500 breast cancer patients to honor their strength and celebrate their survival at our Seventh Annual Pink Ribbon Salute scheduled during October.

Diana Yoon-Schwartz, MD, Ph.D Reconstructive Surgeon Administrative Director Reconstructive Microsurgery St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center

St. Catherine of Siena's Breast Health Center provides innovative, comprehensive care for women of all ages and backgrounds in a welcoming and supportive environment. The Breast Health Center combines advanced technology with personalized interest to offer a broad range of clinical and support services from screening and diagnosis to treatment and counseling. The multidisciplinary team consists of physicians, surgical specialists, nurses, specialized technologists, radiologists, a breast health nurse navigator, and is dedicated to caring for the physical and psychosocial needs of all patients.

What is Reconstructive Microsurgery?

What other Plastic Surgical procedures are available at St. Catherine of Siena?

A. At St. Catherine of Siena, we perform some of the most advanced procedures available in reconstructive surgery. In fact, we have equipment and devices that are not even readily available at the most advanced institutions in the country. St. Catherine is one of the first and only programs on Long Island to routinely utilize the Aeroform needle-less expanders for advanced implant-based reconstruction.

A. In addition to immediate breast reconstruction for cancer or after prophylactic mastectomies, I also often perform revisional breast surgery for patients who have had surgeries elsewhere, presenting to me months or years later and are in need of advanced reconstructive procedures. Other hospitalbased procedures routinely performed include: breast augmentation with implants, breast implant exchange, primary skin cancer surgery or repair of Mohs’s defects, breasts lifts, breast reductions, abdominoplasty, post weight-loss body-contouring, facial rejuvenation, and mommy-makeovers.

St. Catherine utilizes new, long-acting local anesthetics, analgesic pumps, and new procedures such as pre-pectoral breast reconstruction to reduce postoperative patient discomfort, which encourages earlier ambulation and improve recovery times. More importantly, at St. Catherine and moreover at Catholic Health Services of Long Island, every patient is an individual and receives customized, coordinated, and the compassionate care they deserve. I cannot understate the importance of coordination of compassionate care. With my prior experience in molecular research, and my current interest in the molecular biology of breast cancer; I consider each patient’s pathology when planning and offering the best reconstructive options.

A. Reconstructive Microsurgery (RM) is a specialty that requires advanced surgical training and a cohesive team which includes surgeons, anesthesiologists, physician assistants, nurses and operative staff. RM uses magnification from a microscope to facilitate the attachment of exceptionally small blood vessels called arteries that supply blood to transplanted tissue, and it uses small veins to facilitate drainage of blood from that tissue. Thus, tissue, which can be comprised of a combination of skin, fat, muscle and bone, is detached from one part of the body and then moved and microsurgically reattached to another part of the patient’s body, enabling reconstruction. This is performed with sutures, “finer than a hair”, that are used to reattach the blood vessels allowing the transplanted tissue the opportunity to survive in a new location. For example, this technique allows the immediate reconstruction of person’s body part, for example a breast, which was removed for cancer or a jaw injured as a result of a trauma. At St. Catherine, the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator flap, known as the DIEP flap, uses the patient’s lower abdominal skin and fat to replace or reconstruct the breast that had been removed after a mastectomy.
