Enjoy private shopping experience before the holidays

 

Great Selection of Precious Metals, Rare & Exotic Gems, Estate Jewelry, Brand Name Watches and Giftware

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The holidays are just about here again, and before panicking about buying gifts, consider a unique, first time event slated for Setauket. TBR News Media is hosting a private shopping experience Tuesday, Nov. 13, at The Bates House, located at 1 Bates Road in Setauket, at which local retailers and service-based businesses will set up booths to offer attendees a chance to knock out some holiday shopping early, and all in one place. The event will feature discounts on certain products and services as well as prewrapped items ideal for gift giving. “We are going to have a wonderful, select group of local retailers who have decided to join us,” said Evelyn Costello, TBR News Media event planner and organizer of the first incarnation of the event, which will also be live streamed on tbrnewsmedia.com. “It’s a real community feel event.” Publisher Leah Dunaief shed light on the thinking behind putting together the experience.

“We very much want to support the retail businesses in our communities,” she said. “They are the backbones of our villages in the sense of places to go when we need support for the Little League, or the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the musical groups. They are, physically, the center of our towns. It’s the stores that make the physical presence. We want to help them to stay in business against the mammoth Amazon and other businesses that are threatening their existence.” The event is sponsored by The Bates House, Simple Party Designs, Empire Tent Rental & Event Planning and Elegant Eating. It will feature retailers and businesses Ecolin Jewelers, Hardts and Flowers, DazzleBar, Blue Salon & Spa, East Wind, North Fork Fire, The Ward Melville Heritage Organization, Chocolate Works, Three Village Historical Society, East End Shirt Co., Signs by All Seasons, Nicole Eliopoulos of State Farm and The Rinx.

Perspective

Armistice Day and its aftereffects around the world BY CHARLES MORGAN

“Der Krieg ist vorbei.” “La guerre est finie.” “The damned thing is ended.” “Let’s git the hell home.” So it was 100 years ago on Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m. that World War I, the most destructive war in the world at the time, was over. The Germans, French, Austrian-Hungarians, Italians, Turks, British and Americans, among others, had stopped shooting at one another; the Russians had ceased the previous year. At this single juncture, several empires had fallen: the Hohenzollern of Germany, the Romanov of Russia by internal

Communist revolution, the Habsburg of Austria and the Ottoman of Turkey. Even the victors suffered. The British Empire was all but broke; France was gutted; and the United States was becoming aloof as it entered the Roaring Twenties with most people not knowing what the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 was all about. However, there were four more, known as the suburban treaties: St. Germain with Austria, Neuilly with Bulgaria, Trianon with Hungary and Sèvres with Ottoman Turkey. This last one had to be renegotiated at Lausanne in Switzerland in 1923. Germany had to give up Alsace-Lorraine which it had taken from France in 1870. The Germans were limited to an army

no larger than 100,000 men and a navy with manpower not exceeding 15,000, possessing only a limited fleet and absolutely no submarines. There was to be no air force. Two countries were literally invented. Parts of the Habsburg Empire with Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia became CzechoSlovakia. In the Balkans, the Paris peacemakers instituted the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later mercifully shortened to Yugoslavia. The famous T.E. Lawrence of Arabia had helped unify the various desert tribes in the Arab Revolt against the Turkish armies. King Faisal I of Iraq assumed he would be king of it all, but saw his plan nullified by the secret 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement, which enabled France to take over Syria and Lebanon among other countries, while Britain established protectorates over Palestine and Transjordan. These were called mandates. Eventually, in 1932, a large piece of desert land would be called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The viscous black fluid that soiled the camels’ hooves was to be the future of “the Middle East.” Disarmament was the outcry, and it engendered a series of treaties the first of which was the Washington Naval Conference of 1921-22. The United States, Britain, Japan, France, Italy and others hammered out a treaty severely limiting construction of warships. It referred mainly to battleships, leaving little consideration of cruisers and aircraft carriers. In effect, this was the first arms-control conference in history. A small coterie of American and Japanese admirals held that aircraft carriers would be the strategic naval weapon of the future — a point disastrously proven Dec. 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor. Then came Benito Mussolini. In 1922, he and his followers, called Fascisti, gathered in Rome, allowing King Victor Emmanuel III to remain on the throne, but with Mussolini as Il Duce. His navy was to dominate the Mediterranean, with its state-of-theart battleships such as the Vittorio Veneto; the Condottieri-class cruisers with flowing names like Eugenio di Savoia; and speedy Soldati-class destroyers. Yet when the Italians clashed with the British Royal Navy as early as 1936 in the Spanish Civil War and later battles, they revealed a lack of leadership as did the land forces. The fighting had not stopped. The 1918 Treaty of BrestLitovsk, which took Russia out of the war also ushered in communism. The Spartacists violently took over Bavaria, calling it the People’s State of Bavaria. Demobilized German soldiers made short work of this nascent Communist effort. At the same time, now-Communist Russia under Lenin sent the Red Army into Poland under Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky. In 1920, the Russians pushed back the Poles all the way to the gates of Warsaw. But then came the “Miracle on the Vistula,” when Polish Marshal Józef Pilsudski sent the Reds reeling back to Russia. The Poles, therefore, became the first ever to defeat the Red Army in the field of battle. In 1919 Hungarian revolutionary Béla Kun fomented the Communist revolution in Budapest which was put down by the forces of Regent Miklós Horthy. By 1926, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in Turkey, who had abolished the caliphate, was making changes designed to convert the country into a secular republic, including taking fezzes and turbans off the men, and introducing the Latin alphabet. On that November day in 1918 an Austrian corporal, recovering from wounds in a field hospital and sporting a sizable imperial handlebar mustache — later trimmed to a Chaplinesque toothbrush — as well as the Iron Cross 1st Class, was mulling over in the darkest recesses of his mind, a way to avenge Germany’s defeat brought about by the “November Criminals.” His name was Adolf Hitler.

Optician helps his fellow Long Island veterans see better BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

him for his ageless abilities and his passion to serve his fellow veterans.” Sheldon Polan said visiting veterans, where even a simple greeting means a lot to them, is important. “Once I saw what I was giving to them and what I was getting back, I was hooked,” the optician said. “You got to feel for these people.”

DAVID ACKERMAN

Andy Polan said his father is a big help to him not only assisting at Stony Brook Vision World and at the veterans home but also making house calls when he can’t. “I’m honored to have that,” the son said. “I’m luckier than a lot of people that my father at this age is able to still be very vital and helpful.” Father and son both said they feel residents are fortunate to have the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook nearby. “My dad is proud of what he sees over at the vets’ hospital,” Andy Polan said, adding that while many other veterans homes receive negative publicity, Long Island State Veterans Home executive director, Fred Sganga, goes above and beyond to make sure his patients are taken care of properly. The respect is mutual. Sganga said it’s clear Polan loves to work with his fellow veterans. “He is incredibly passionate about his work and is highly regarded by our residents,” Sganga said. “Sheldon’s optometry skills combined with his caring personality make him a welcome addition to our home. We salute

ANDY POLAN

One World War II veteran’s weekly visit to the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook is not about using its services — it’s about his passion for helping. Sheldon Polan, who retired from his career as a full-time optician in 1987, visits veterans at the home every Thursday to measure and fit patients for glasses and adjust the spectacles when they come in. The Selden resident, who turns 91 Nov. 10, said he’s been helping out at the home for seven years through his son Andy Polan’s business, Stony Brook Vision World, which is an affiliated practitioner of the veterans home. “One day Andy says to me, ‘Dad, I can’t get over there — maybe you can help to bail me out,’” Sheldon Polan said. The number of patients the optician sees varies from one or two to seven or eight depending on the day. When it comes to interacting with his fellow veterans, Polan, who served his time at West Point, said he enjoys talking to them about their military experiences. “It gives you a common ground,” the optician said. “It kind of relaxes them too. It’s not ‘What are you going to do next.’”

Recently, the elder Polan took 20 examinations to renew his license, which is now valid for three more years. Through the decades, he’s seen a lot of advances in eyeglasses, including eyewear going from thick glass, where eyeglass wearers felt like they were wearing Coke bottles, to lighter plastics. Polan said he occasionally helps his son out at Stony Brook Vision World, relieving some of the rigors of business ownership. Andy Polan is the president of the Three Village Chamber of Commerce and a former president of his synagogue. Being an optician wasn’t the veteran’s original career plan though. He said he was making a good living working for a large gas station in Brooklyn after the war, but freezing temperatures in the winter made it difficult to work sometimes. His brother, who was an optician, suggested he go to college to learn to become one. “I went into the school, I liked what I saw, and I persevered,” he said. Polan went on to work for 30 years with Dr. Norman Stahl in Garden City, who was the founder of Stahl Eyecare Experts, one of the first ophthalmologist offices in New York to use LASIK surgery when it became available in America in the ’90s.

WMHO brings Hindu festival to Stony Brook BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Ward Melville Heritage Organization hosted its first Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights, Nov. 4 at the Educational & Cultural Center in Stony Brook. The event included performances from the Nartan Rang Dance Academy of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. Dressed in colorful costumes, the dance group demonstrated various styles of Indian dance. The event also included drum performances from New York Tamil Academy. The group presented traditional Parai drumming

— the oldest of the drums used in ancient times to warn citizens about upcoming war, during festivals and at special celebrations. After the performances, attendees had the opportunity to sample a tasting menu of traditional Indian dishes including potato-filled pastries called samosa and the sweet dessert mithai. Diwali is India’s largest holiday of the year and is usually held in October or November. It is named from the lamps that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the light that protects them from spiritual darkness, according to WMHO. Diwali is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains all over the world.

Election 2018

Zeldin fends off ‘blue wave,’ but Democrats flip state Senate Nationally the Democratic Party experienced a successful night, winning enough Congressional races to flip the House of Representatives from Republican control. The long-billed blue wave petered out on the North Shore of Long Island however, as twoterm incumbent U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) fended off a challenge from first-time candidate Democrat Perry Gershon, an East Hampton resident and commercial real estate lender, winning re-election by securing more than 52 percent of the vote. “This was the clear contrast of results versus resistance, and results won today,” Zeldin said from the podium at Stereo Garden in Patchogue after results were in Nov. 6. “It’s important we get to people’s business and deliver results.” As many — if not all — House races did across the country, Zeldin and Gershon’s battle took on a nasty tone, largely focused on their opinions of President Donald Trump (R) and his job performance thus far. “Our country needs to do much better uniting,” Zeldin said. “We also need to make sure our scores are settled at the ballot box, and that next day we wake up to govern.” He thanked his opponent for running a tough race. “It’s not the outcome we wanted but life goes on,” Gershon said when his fate appeared sealed from IBEW Local 25 Long Island Electricians union headquarters in Hauppauge. “We’re so much better off than we were two years ago. We showed the Democratic Party has a heart here in eastern Suffolk County.”

2018 Midterm Election Zeldin 52.47%  Gershon 46.41%

Above, Congressman Lee Zeldin claims victory on election night Nov. 6 after defeating challenger Perry Gershon, below.

ALEX PETROSKI

Both candidates’ respective Suffolk County party chairmen applauded their efforts. “He worked very hard and developed a grassroots campaign,” Democratic Party Chairman Rich Schaffer said. “We have not heard the last of Perry Gershon.” John Jay LaValle, Republican Party chairman for the county, dismissed the idea Election Day 2018 was something to be celebrated by Democrats locally. “There was no blue wave in Suffolk County tonight, in fact the only thing blue tonight was my tie,” he said. Incumbent 3rd District U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) secured 58 percent of the vote against Republican challenger Dan DeBono to secure another term as well. “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!” Suozzi posted on his campaign Facebook page. “It is an honor to serve.” Despite LaValle’s assertion, the blue party scored major victories in several statewide battles, enough to ﬂip the New York State Senate to Democratic control, meaning all three houses of the state government are controlled by the same party. Nearly all incumbent state legislators from both parties held serve on the North Shore though. The 2nd District state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) won re-election to continue his more than 30 years in the Senate, defeating challenger Kathleen Cleary by about 11 percentage points. Flanagan will relinquish his spot as Senate Majority Leader with the Democrats seizing control. He could not be reached for comment by press time Nov. 7.

“I did not win but we made sure that the issues important to us: women’s reproductive health, the Child Victims Act, ERPO, [the New York Health Act] were discussed and now that the [state] Senate has flipped to blue these bills will be passed,” Cleary said in a post on her campaign Facebook page. State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who has represented the 1st District since the 1970s, easily won another term, besting Democrat Greg Fischer for a second consecutive cycle, this time by 17 percentage points. LaValle could not be reached for comment Nov. 7 either. “It’s very difficult to unseat a long-term incumbent,” Fischer said. “Like it or not, the system is filled with or based on lots of favors, so there’s always that tendency to reward people for their past performance.” Democrats Jim Gaughran and Monica Martinez won surprise upsets in nearby Long Island state Senate districts, defeating incumbent Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset) and Assemblyman Dean Murray (R-East Patchogue) in their respective races, which were major contributors to the shift of power in New York’s legislative branch. In the state Assembly, Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) was easily returned to his longtime post representing the 4th District, earning 60 percent of the vote to his challenger Christian Kalinowski’s 40 percent. “I’m looking forward to getting back to the task at hand, protecting the environment, the quality of life of our community and enhancing it, making sure we have adequate funding for our schools and for the next generation,”

Englebright said. “We have a lot to do.” Englebright’s Assembly colleagues from across the aisle on the North Shore will all be returning to Albany as well. The 2nd District Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) blew out first-time candidate Democrat Rona Smith to earn a third term, winning about 60 percent of the vote. “It’s great to see we won by a nice margin — it validates we’re going on the right direction,” Palumbo said. “I will try to discuss some issues raised by my opponent, including the issue of health care with the 5 percent uninsured rate.” Assemblyman Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Smithtown) will head to Albany for another term after beating Democrat and first-time candidate David Morrissey handily, 61 percent to 39 percent. “I’m going to continue to pursue my objective of being a strong voice for mandate relief and strengthening the private sector to make people aware of the need to slow down the growth of taxes,” Fitzpatrick said. “We are losing too many people — too many retirees, too many young people. Too many people in the middle class are looking elsewhere as the cost of living is getting too high.” Republican for the 12th Assembly District Andrew Raia (R-East Northport) will continue his tenure, as will Democrat Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills), who captured the 10th Assembly District seat in a special election in April. Though members of Brookhaven Town’s board were not on the ballot this year, voters overwhelmingly passed a back-of-the-ballot proposition that extended officials terms in office from two years to four, and limited officeholders to three terms. A total of 58 percent voted in favor of that measure with 42 percent opposing. “We felt that this was the right time to put out this proposition, especially with all the talk about the president stimulating turnout,” said Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point).

Town Veteran fundraising campaign looks to modernize local war memorials BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

KARA HAHN’S OFFICE

Despite the United States’ long military history, many local memorials created in times of peace have not kept up to the history of modern conflicts. The memorial near Port Jefferson Harbor references up to the Korean War, while other memorials in the Three Village area do not go beyond the Vietnam War. “You go year in year out to many of these services such as the Memorial Day parade and you think, ‘Why is the last item on the memorials the Vietnam War,’” said Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). “We have lost brave men and women in all the wars since.” The Veterans Memorial Fund, a campaign created by Hahn and local veteran service groups, is looking to update the memorials located at Stony Brook village, Setauket Village Green, Setauket Veterans Memorial Park and the memorial at the Port Jefferson harborfront to reference the Cold War, the two Gulf Wars and the global War on Terror. Hahn and several leaders from local Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts, as well as the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University, have been meeting

for several months to design the fundraising campaign and new memorials. The fundraising committee said it requires $30,000 to upgrade all four memorials fully and hopes to have it all

built in time for Memorial Day 2019. “This project is in recognition to all veterans who served in all wars whether it was during the Cold War or boots on the ground,” said Bill Wolf, the commander of the American Legion Wilson Ritch Post 432 in Port Jefferson. The original concept was proposed to Hahn back in May by Jack Gozdziewski, a veteran and member of the American Legion Post 432 and VFW Post 3054. He said that those veterans of America’s most modern wars shouldn’t be left out of the local history. “Through our local veterans memorials our communities show our love of country and respect to those who gave all,” Gozdziewski said. “America’s freedom can never be taken for granted — veterans can never be forgotten.” The fund is accepting donations at multiple sponsorship levels. The lowest starts at the

$100 Enlistee level. Higher levels such as the $3,500 Defense Superior Service Medal sponsor level will list the sponsor’s name on a sign to be placed close to the monuments. The highest level, the $10,000 Medal of Honor sponsorship, will give the sponsor recognition during the opening ceremonies and allow them to use a digital “seal” in business advertising or in other promotions. The memorials at Stony Brook village and the Setauket Village Green will receive new bronze plaques referencing these later wars. Meanwhile, the more elaborate memorials such as the one in the Setauket Veterans Memorial Park will require new marble work and other amenities. Hahn said the fundraising committee is hoping to have the $30,000 in hand by the end of January in order to start planning the renovations, gathering the materials and contracting out to a stonemason. If the fund doesn’t reach its goal by that deadline, the legislator said they will continue to fundraise to make these changes hopefully by Veterans Day 2019. “Our community is very patriotic,” said Carlton “Hub” Edwards, the commander of American Legion Irving Hart Post 1766 in Setauket. “I am certain the community will step up to help fund this veterans memorial project to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and have yet to be fully acknowledged.” Donations can be sent via check mailed to: Veterans Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 986, Port Jefferson Station, NY 11776. Checks may also be dropped off at the American Legion, Wilson Ritch Post 432 located at 1450 Hallock Ave. in Port Jefferson Station or the VFW Post 3054 at 8 Jones St. in East Setauket. People with questions about the fund can send queries to: SBSPJveteransmemorialfund@ gmail.com or call at 631-828-1452. KARA HAHN’S OFFICE

ALEX PETROSKI Rabbi Paul Sidlofsky of Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook speaks during an event at North Shore Jewish Center in Port Jeff Station celebrating the 70th anniversary of Israel’s independence.

North Shore synagogues celebrate Israel against backdrop of Pittsburgh tragedy BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Congregants from North Shore Jewish Center in Port Jefferson Station and Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook punctuated a difficult week with a Nov. 4 event meant to inspire and unite the community. The state of Israel declared its independence in May 1948, and to commemorate the 70th anniversary this year, North Shore Jewish Center and Temple Isaiah came together for a long-planned celebration called Celebrate Israel @ 70, which took on an additional purpose following the shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. On Oct. 27, while many of the congregation at Tree of Life, and Jewish people at similar houses of worship across the country prayed, a gunman murdered 11 people and wounded seven others. It is believed to be the deadliest attack on Jews in the United States in American history, according to the Anti-Defamation League. The Nov. 4 celebration was aptly timed for some. “It really has been a balm, a healing experience as well as a happy experience,” said Rabbi Aaron Benson of NSJC of the event. “Given the historic events of the past week, that the event would happen this Sunday of all times has had an extra value and meaning as a moment of healing and community togetherness, in this case surrounding something hopeful and joyous.” Committees from both synagogues had been planning the celebration for about eight months, according to Eric Steinberg, NSJC’s chairman of the Israeli Committee. The free event featured speakers discussing

technology in Israel, flight attendants from El Al Israel Airlines, water desalination and its impact helping the country grow crops in the desert, lunch, events for the congregants’ children and more. “If you notice we’re not talking politics, we’re not talking anything about that,” Steinberg said. “This was a determined thought by the committee just to do something positive … I wanted to bring the focus of Israel to the community.” North Shore Jewish Center also hosted events in the wake of the shooting meant as a remembrance for the victims and to provide a sense of community togetherness, according to Benson. As a precaution, the rabbi said the synagogue bolstered security ahead of the event, including a Suffolk County Police Department presence. “In many ways, the country as a whole has been in mourning and Jewish communities have responded in much the same way as when a friend might suffer a loss,” he said. “It has never happened in quite this way to the Jewish community in America before … And while one shouldn’t go through life fearful or paranoid that people are out to hurt you, the idea that in all the ways a person is Jewish, one aspect of that is that there are people who may simply not like you because of your religious background. That is a feature of Jewish life, and it does mean that terrible things can happen because of one’s religious identity.” Rabbi Paul Sidlofsky of Temple Isaiah echoed much of his colleague’s sentiments in speaking to those in attendance. “Even as we remember, even as we continue to mourn, we celebrate together, we gain inspiration from each other,” he said.

History Close at Hand

Veterans remembered in Three Village’s past, nationally this year It was Nov. 11, 1918, and World War I had come to an end for the Americans fighting in Europe. Two who did not return to Setauket were memorialized at a ceremony on the Village Green at the end of a parade Sept. 1, 1919, as reported by the Port Jefferson Times. “With the service men in uniform standing stiffly at attention and the civilians with bared heads, the entire assemblage united in singing ‘America’ and the Rev. T.J. Elms opened the meeting with a prayer. Judge Watson then introduced the speakers of the day, the first being Admiral Niblack. Admiral Niblack made many friends when he was here with the fleet last summer, many of whom were in the crowd. “The Rev. T.J. Elms then dedicated a rock to the memory of the Setauket boys who died in the war — Raymond Wishart and Harry Golden. The Community Chorus, led by Mr. & Mrs. W.H. Stewart Jr., sang a patriotic song and an army officer addressed the gathering. “Those boys of Setauket who had been denied the privilege of giving their lives in the great cause were then presented with suitably inscribed medals. Mrs. Wishart received a medal for her son and Mr. Golden for his boy. The ceremonies concluded with a benediction by Father Roex and the singing of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’” A plaque, originally placed in a monument on the grounds of the East Setauket Veterans Memorial is now in the entrance foyer of the Setauket Elementary School. The memorial metal plaque reads: “Erected in honor of those of Setauket and East Setauket who served in the World War.” Those named are: Irving R Addis, Thomas F. Bowen, Edwin Brown, Fred K.M. Brown, Jacob Brown, James Brown, Joel W. Brown, Wilson Brown, John H. Bristol, Lewellyn Bristol, Edwin M. Bryant, Charles Buchanan, Leroy J. Buchanan, Charles Buehrman, William J.

Remembering ... this year

The U.S. World War One Centennial Commission — along with the Pritzker Military Museum & Library, the Society of the Honor Guard: Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the

American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars — is inviting American citizens and organizations to toll bells in their communities as a WWI remembrance. The event, Bells of Peace: A World War I Remembrance, will take place Sunday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. local time. The centennial commission has created a page on its website: www.ww1cc.org/bells. The National World War I Museum and Memorial, in Kansas City, Missouri, opened in 2006 to national acclaim. Since then, more than two million people have visited the museum including Frank Buckles, America’s last surviving WWI veteran, who visited the museum and memorial over Memorial Day weekend in 2008. During World War II, he was captured and spent three-and-a-half years in Japanese prison camps at Santo Tomas and Los Baños in the Philippines. Buckles died Feb. 27, 2011, in Charles Town, West Virginia, at the age of 110. In 2014, the museum and memorial received a second designation from Congress, effectively recognizing it as a national memorial. The museum is “dedicated to remembering, interpreting and understanding the Great War and its enduring impact on the global community.” The museum began as the Liberty Memorial, dedicated Nov. 11, 1926, by President Calvin Coolidge who said the memorial “has not been raised to commemorate war and victory, but rather the results of war and victory which are embodied in peace and liberty. ... Today I return in order that I may place the official sanction of the national government upon one of the most elaborate and impressive memorials that adorn our country. The magnitude of this memorial, and the broad base of popular support on which it rests, can scarcely fail to excite national

wonder and admiration.” The Liberty Memorial began as a dynamic addition to Kansas City’s cultural offerings, but by 1994, it had to be closed due to safety concerns. Then state, federal and individual donors raised $102 million for the memorial, and an extensive museum restoration and expansion. In 2004, the building was designated by Congress as the nation’s official World War I Museum, and construction started on a new 80,000-square-foot, state-of-theart museum with the Edward Jones Research Center underneath the memorial. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark Sept. 20, 2006. Beverly C. Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket. For more information, call 631-7513730 or visit www.tvhs.org.

Princesses, superheroes, ghosts, zombies and more filled Stony Brook Village Center Oct. 31 to take part in a day of trick-or-treating.

Store owners and employees handed out treats to the hundreds of costumed children who were accompanied by parents and four-legged friends — some in disguises themselves. In between trick-or-treating, children had the opportunity to take part in some Halloween-themed games and crafts.

Five books that shaped my life

‘Civilization and Its Discontents’ by Sigmund Freud

‘The Diary of Samuel Pepys’

I loved reading Pepys’s diaries and was thrilled that he was an eyewitness to the bubonic plague that swept through England in 1665 and the London fire that destroyed most of the city in 1666. Pepys is an imperfect person — not immune to accepting sacks of gold for awarding contracts for the British Navy, flirting with other women but loving his wife and learning to avoid threats to his career from others drawn to the politics of the time.

Freud introduces the source of the tensions between creativity and destructiveness. He assigns it to the id/superego conflict. I would use instead our capacity for love, empathy and sympathy versus our capacity ‘The Origin of Species’ by for hate, bigotry and violence.

HELPING YOU NAVIGATE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH

David Dunaief, M.D. Integrative Medicine

• A Whole Body Approach • Reversing, Preventing & Treating Chronic Disease and Managing Weight by Connecting Conventional Medicine with Lifestyle Modifications Our Philosophy is simple. We believe wellness is derived through nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions that prevent and treat chronic diseases. Medications have their place - and in some cases can be lifesaving. However, there’s no medication without side effects. The goal should be to limit the need for medications - or minimize the number of medications you take on a regular basis. You are not limited by your genes. Fortunately, most diseases are based primarily on epigenetics, which are environmental influences, and not on genetics. Epigenetics literally means above or around the gene. In epigenetics, lifestyle choices impact gene expression. Just because your first degree relatives may have had a disease, you are not predestined to follow suit. We are specialists who will partner with your primary care physician. A standard medical education does not integrate enough nutritional medicine and other lifestyle interventions. We bridge that gap.

We use evidence-based medicine to guide our decision-making. The amount of research related to nutrition and other lifestyle issues continues to grow rapidly, with many studies showing significant beneficial effects on health. We treat each patient as an individual. We will work with you to develop a plan that allows you to take a proactive role in managing your own health. The health outcomes are worth the effort. Is disease reversal possible? Absolutely! Study evidence has found this to be true, and many of our patients have experienced reversal of diabetes, autoimmune disorders, migraines, and cardiovascular disease, just to mention a few. In many cases, because of their exceptional results, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their medications. Read more common questions and answers on medicalcompassmd.com. Dr. Dunaief has written over 2,000 medical research articles that have been published in Times Beacon Record Newspapers.

Can you exercise off those extra pounds?

NEWS AROUND TOWN

The real benefits of exercise

With holiday dinners right around the corner, what would be a better topic than exercise? To quell our guilt about Thanksgiving dinner indiscretions, many of us will resolve to exercise to burn off the calories from this seismic meal and the smaller, calorically dense aftershock meals, whether with a vigorous family football game or with a more modest walk. Unfortunately, exercise without dietary changes may not actually help many people lose weight, no matter what the intensity or the duration (1). If it does help, it may only modestly reduce fat mass and weight for the majority of people. However, it may be helpful with weight maintenance. Therefore, it may be more important to think about what you are eating than to succumb to the rationalization that you can eat with abanBy David don during the holidays Dunaief, M.D. and work it off later. Don’t give up on exercise just yet, though. There is very good news: Exercise does have beneficial effects on a wide range of conditions, including chronic kidney disease, cognitive decline, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, fatigue, insomnia and depression. Let’s look at the evidence.

Weight loss attenuated

The well-known weight-loss paradigm in medicine is that when more calories are burned than consumed, we will tip the scale in favor of weight loss. The greater the negative balance with exercise, the greater the loss. However, the results of a study say otherwise. They show that in premenopausal women there was neither weight nor fat loss from exercise (2). This involved 81 women over a short duration, 12 weeks. All of the women were overweight to obese, although there was great variability in weight. However, more than two-thirds of the women (55) gained a mean of 1 kilogram, or 2.2 pounds, of fat mass by the end of the study. There were a few who gained 10 pounds of predominantly fat. Significant variability was seen among the participants, ranging from significant weight loss to substantial weight gain. These women were told to exercise at the American College of Sports Medicine’s optimal level of intensity (3). This is to walk 30 minutes on a treadmill three times a week at 70 percent VO2max — maximum oxygen consumption during exercise — or, in other words, a moderately intense pace.

Santaport Fair kicks off holidays

The good news is that the women were in better aerobic shape by the end of the study and that women who had lost weight at the four-week mark were more likely to continue to do so by the end of the study. This was a preliminary study, so no definitive conclusions can be made. Other studies have shown modest weight loss. For instance, in a meta-analysis involving 14 randomized controlled trials — the gold standard of studies — results showed that there was a disappointing amount of weight loss with exercise alone (4). In six months, patients lost a mean of 1.6 kilograms, or 3.5 pounds, and at 12 months, participants lost 1.7 kilograms, or about 3.75 pounds.

Weight maintenance

However, exercise may be valuable in weight maintenance, according to observational studies. Premenopausal women who exercised at least 30 minutes a day were significantly less likely to regain lost weight (5). When exercise was added to diet, women were able to maintain 30 percent more weight loss than with diet alone after a year in a prospective study (6).

Chronic kidney disease

As just one example of exercise’s impact on disease, let’s look at chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects 14 percent of adults in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (7). The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has indicated that there is insufficient evidence to treat asymptomatic CKD. In fact, the American College of Physicians has said that asymptomatic CKD, which includes stages 3a and 3b, or moderate disease levels, should not be screened for, since the treatment risks outweigh the benefits, and lead to false positive results and unnecessary treatments (8). However, in a trial, results showed that walking regularly could reduce the risk of kidney replacement therapy and death in patients who have moderate to severe CKD, stages 3-5 (9). Yes, this includes stage 3, which most likely is

asymptomatic. There was a 21 percent reduction in the risk of kidney replacement therapy and a 33 percent reduction in the risk of death when walkers were compared to nonwalkers. Walking had an impressive impact; results were based on a dose-response curve. In other words, the more frequently patients walked in the week, the better the probability of preventing complications. Those who walked between one and two times per week had 17 and 19 percent reductions in death and kidney replacement therapy, respectively, while those who walked at least seven times per week saw 44 and 59 percent reductions in death and kidney replacement. These are substantial results. The authors concluded that the effectiveness of walking on CKD was independent of kidney function, age or other diseases. Therefore, while it is important to enjoy the holidays, it is food choices, not exercise, that will have the greatest impact on our weight and body composition. However, exercise is extremely beneficial for preventing progression of chronic disorders, such as CKD. So, by all means, exercise during the holidays, but also focus on more nutrient-dense foods. At a minimum, strike a balance rather than eating purely calorically dense foods. You won’t be able to exercise them away.

This week’s shelter pet is Jeter, an almost 12-year-old Puggle, originally adopted from Kent Animal Shelter 6 years ago. He was returned because his owner was moving and couldn’t take him along. Now he is looking to spend his golden years with a new family. Jeter’s a happy guy, despite it all, and would love to have a second chance. He is also still very spry and loves people. He’s great with other dogs too! Won’t you open your heart to this lovable boy? Kent Animal Shelter is located at 2259 River Road in Calverton. The adoption center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. For more information on Jeter and other adoptable pets at Kent, call 631-727-5731.

COVER STORY

STAC artists shine in member showcase at Mills Pond House Gallery

or almost a month now, the Mills Pond House Gallery has been exhibiting the Smithtown Township Arts Council’s annual Member Artist Showcase, a unique exhibit featuring the original artwork of 61 STAC member artists. The juried show will run through Dec. 2 and most of the works are available for purchase. While typically a juror or curator selects works for an exhibit, the Member Artist Showcase allows the artists to choose what piece they would like to display, which is most likely their favorite or a new piece they want to debut. “I always like the member show but this is a pretty member show and very eclectic,” said STAC director Allison Cruz during a recent guided tour. “I’m proud of these artists,” she said, adding that there are many new members this year. It is also a very diverse show, with many different types of medium represented including oil, acrylic, watercolor, solarplate etching, photography,

Background: In the 1930s the current family purchased a working dairy farm called Buttercup Dairy. Four generations later, through cows, glass bottles and home delivery milkmen, the farm has evolved into its current format with its emphasis on freshness and value. A typical surburban story...from cow barn to processing plant to home delivery, to small drive through dairy store in 1971. In 1975 the cow barn was converted into the current store and housed a few basic essentials. As the neighborhood grew so did the store’s inventory and selection into the everyday market it is today.

COOKING COVE

Pear-Custard Pie

Cooking with perfect and imperfect pears BY BARBARA BELTRAMI When in doubt about what to say about something, I always go to good old Ralph Waldo Emerson, my favorite quotable person (except for my grandmother). And, sure enough, he has come through for me again. He writes, “There are only ten minutes in the life of a pear when it is perfect to eat.” And that’s the truth. Not ripe and it is flavorless and resistant to the bite. Overripe and it’s a sloppy, juicy mess. And how quickly it morphs from one to the other. That’s if you’re going to eat a pear au naturel. But suppose you miss that 10-minute window, then what? Here are some recipes to save the day and the pear.

Pear and Arugula Salad with Prosciutto and Goat Cheese YIELD: Makes 4 servings INGREDIENTS: • 4 generous handfuls fresh arugula • 4 firm ripe pears, pared, cored, halved and cut into ¼-inch slices • 8 slices prosciutto • Four 1-inch-thick slices herbed goat cheese • 4 to 6 ounces raspberry vinaigrette DIRECTIONS:

Place one handful arugula on each of four salad plates. Arrange pear slices in a petal formation over arugula; lay prosciutto slices attractively over pears; top with goat cheese. Drizzle with raspberry vinaigrette and serve at room temperature with toasted baguette slices and dry white wine.

Pear-Custard Pie YIELD: Makes 8 servings INGREDIENTS: • 1 prebaked 8- or 9-inch pie crust • 3 not quite or just ripe pears, pared, cored, halved and sliced thin

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar • 1/3 cup flour • ¾ cup milk • 3 eggs • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract • 1/4 teaspoon salt • Confectioners’ sugar DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line pie crust with pear slices in a slightly overlapping pattern. In a blender or food processor combine the sugar, flour, milk, eggs, vanilla and salt. Pour mixture over pears. Bake 40 to 50 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean, top is golden and custard is firm to touch. Let sit 30 minutes before sprinkling with confectioners’ sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee, tea, a dessert wine or milk.

164076

Pears Poached in Red Wine YIELD: Makes 4 servings INGREDIENTS: • ½ 750-ml bottle of dry red wine • 2 to 2½ cups water • 11/3 cups sugar • 2 cinnamon sticks • 4 to 6 cloves • 3 orange slices with rind • 4 slightly underripe pears, pared, cored and stem left on DIRECTIONS:

Combine wine with all ingredients except pears in 3-quart or similar size saucepan. Place pears in liquid. Cover and simmer over low flame, turning frequently and basting so fruit becomes evenly stained by wine, until it is tender but firm, about 45 minutes depending on size of fruit. Remove pears and set aside; continue cooking poaching liquid over medium heat until it is thickened and syrupy, about 1015 minutes. Return pears to hot liquid and turn to coat evenly. Remove pan from heat. Serve warm drizzled with thickened liquid and accompanied by Gorgonzola cheese and biscotti.

Simon’s failing heart made the simplest tasks difficult. Today, he’s doing things he never thought possible.

SIMON DAVISON’S BODY WAS IN SHOCK WHEN HE WAS ADMITTED TO STONY BROOK. His team of cardiac physicians determined that Simon’s heart was functioning at only 15% of its capacity — greatly reducing his ability to work or participate in family activities. The Stony Brook University Heart Institute team decided Simon needed a left ventricular assist device, or LVAD, a small, battery-powered pump designed to circulate adequate amounts of blood through his body. Within three weeks of receiving the LVAD, Simon could feel his energy and strength returning. Today, he has a new lease on life and is working again and enjoying time with his family.

WHEN IT COMES TO COLONOSCOPY

45 IS THE NEW 50

To save more lives, the American Cancer Society just lowered the age for your first colonoscopy. Catholic Health Services

The most comprehensive colorectal and gastroenterology programs on Long Island. Getting your first colonoscopy has always been a rite of passage. After all, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. And colonoscopies save lives. Now you won’t have to wait as long to have it. Based on the fact that colorectal cancer is most treatable in its earlier stages, The American Cancer Society now recommends screening annually starting at 45 for better outcomes. And because our colorectal surgeons and our board certified gastroenterologists use the latest minimally invasive methods to find and treat colon and rectal diseases and cancers, we recommend that you treat it where you screen it. And, by the way, we have experienced male and female doctors so you can be treated by someone of your gender.

We’re here for you.

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

Former head of BNL seeks to help Kenyan economy the power of Harnassing the Technology of our Research Giants

3 2

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Sam Aronson, the retired head of Brookhaven National Laboratory, has set his sights on a new project far from Long Island. Teaming up with Acacia Leakey, the project management and engineering consultant of a company called SOSAED and a member of the famed family that has made seminal discoveries about human evolution in Kenya, Aronson would like to stimulate the growth of businesses through the use of solar power that provides products and services. “This [part of Africa] is an area where there’s really little infrastructure,” Aronson said. “We’re looking to help people get up on the economic pyramid.” The people Aronson and Leakey would like to help are representative of the one billion people without access to electric power. Two-thirds of them live in sub-Saharan Africa. Through SOSAED — which stands for Sustainable Off-grid Solutions for African Economic Development — Aronson and Leakey are working with the Turkana Basin Institute of northern Kenya, Stony Brook University, Strathmore University in Nairobi and other Kenyan educational institutions and businesses to integrate business creation in off-grid areas into the larger Kenyan economic ecosystem. The group would like to create a business model, using local workers and managers, for a range of companies, Leakey explained. SOSAED plans to start with a small-scale solar-powered clothing production business, which would create affordable clothing for the heat, including skirts, shirts and shorts. SOSAED expects to build this plant adjacent to the TBI research facility. Ideally, the manufacturer will make the clothing from local material. The clothing business is a pilot project to see whether the model can work for other types of projects

3 in other areas. The Turkana Basin Institute will provide some of the infrastructure, while SOSAED will acquire the equipment and the raw materials and training to do the work. SOSAED hopes the project will become “self-sustaining when it’s up and running,” Aronson said. “To be sustainable, it has to be the work of local people.” He hopes what will differentiate this effort from other groups’ attempts to build economic development is the commitment to maintenance by people living and working in the area. “To an extent, the suitability of technology is rarely rigorously considered when humanitarian or generic development projects are implemented,” Leakey explained in an email. “Not only are the skills required for maintenance an important consideration, the availability of spare parts and the motivation and ability to pay for these are also important.” Developing a system that includes upkeep by people living and working in the area could “make a project move ahead on its own steam,” Aronson said. The area has limited infrastructure, although some of that is changing as new roads and government-funded water projects begin. Leakey suggested that a long-term project would need extensive participation of the users in every step of the development and implementation. “The project will likely look very different once complete to how we envisage it now, and part of our success (if it comes) will lie in working in a way which allows a great degree of flexibility as it is unlikely we’ll design the ‘right’ system the first time around,” she explained in an email. In areas with mature systems, Leakey suggested that some organizations had difficulty changing direction, retrofitting existing systems or adapting new technology. New York, she explained, is struggling to adopt sustainable technologies to the extent that it could. “Legislative and

physical infrastructure imposes unfortunate roadblocks in the way of clean technologies,” she wrote in an email. “We’re fortunate that with electricity provision we have a fairly blank slate” in Kenya and that the “Kenya government also recognizes the value of offgrid initiatives.” Leakey appreciates the support TBI played in helping to create SOSAED and is grateful for the ongoing assistance. Through Stony Brook University, SOSAED is beginning to engage business students on economic questions. In the future, the group may also work with engineering students on technological challenges. “Research may include developing new productive uses of solar power, optimizing the existing system and using the site to rigorously test technologies developed at Stony Brook,” she explained. Aronson’s initial interest in this project came from his technological connection to Brookhaven National Laboratory, where he retired as the director in 2015. He has been eager to bring new technology to a population he is confident they can help in a “way that makes sense to them and addresses their needs.” With the support of the Turkana Basin Institute and Stony Brook, Aronson hopes to have a functioning solar hub and factory near TBI that serves a few surrounding villages within the next 18 months. “That’s a very ambitious goal,” he acknowledged. “We’re working in

an environment that, because of the history and development, people you’re trying to serve are somewhat skeptical that you’re serious and that you have the staying power to make something that looks like what you’re talking about work.” While Aronson and Leakey are continuing to make connections in Kenya with government officials and residents interested in starting businesses, they are searching for ways to make this effort financially viable. SOSAED is raising money through philanthropic grants and foundations to get the project going. Eventually, they hope to approach venture capital firms who are patient and prepared to invest for the longer term in a number of projects. After they have an initial example, they will approach other financial backers with more than just a good idea, but with a model they hope will work in other locations. Aronson lauded the effort and knowledge of Leakey. “We wouldn’t be making much progress right now for a variety of reasons in Kenya if [Leakey] hadn’t come on board,” Aronson said. “I value in the extreme her ability to get the work done.” SOSAID would like to submit proposals to funding sources that can drive this concept forward. If this effort takes root, Aronson believes there is a “tremendous market out there.” That would mean this would “become a much bigger organization.”

STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Men’s soccer team clinches America East Regular Season Title, takes home 11 awards The Stony Brook men’s soccer team (85-3, 5-1-1 AE) drew UMBC, 2-2 on Oct. 31 from LaValle Stadium. With the result, the Seawolves clinched the America East Regular Season Title and the No. 1 seed in the America East Tournament. “We had two really good chances in the ﬁrst half that we were really close to scoring. They were making it difﬁcult for us to play with how aggressive they were being, but it was forcing them to have a really high line defensively. We knew we would get some opportunities trying to play behind them,” said head coach Ryan Anatol. The team then took on the winner of #4 Vermont/#5 UMBC on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. from LaValle Stadium. Results were not available as of press time. After a regular season that saw the Stony Brook men’s soccer team win the America East Regular Season Title, six different members of the team earned 11 all-conference honors. The awards were announced by the

league on Nov. 2. “It’s been a great year for the university. It shows the commitment the athletic department has put in the soccer programs, putting both programs in a position to be successful. A lot of credit to the players who came out and played hard all year. We’re really excited and happy for them,” said Anatol. Senior Martieon Watson (Vessigny, Trinidad) and freshman Christian Miesch (Brig, Switzerland) were the only two players in the conference to earn three conference honors. Watson was named America East Midﬁelder of the Year, while also appearing on the America East First Team and the All-Academic Team. Miesch was selected America East Rookie of the Year and was also named to the America East Second Team and All-Rookie Team. Senior Serge Gamwanya (Trondheim, Norway) and junior Jarred Dass (Marabella, Trinidad) were Stony Brook’s other two members of the America East First Team.

ALBANY: Stony Brook University’s volleyball team defeated Albany in three sets (25-12, 25-20, 25-11). The Seawolves improve to 17-8, and the Great Danes fall to 14-9 on the season. “This was obviously a big match for our team and to see us come in focused and locked in made for a fun match. Defensively I thought we made Albany uncomfortable, and that allowed us to get some good offensive opportunities,” said coach Kristin Belzung “We also did a great job putting pressure on them from the service line. Looking forward to closing out on the road and proud of the team for earning the right to host the America East Championship the following weekend,” she added. Junior Jordan Gels (Lewis Center, Ohio) led the way with nine kills. Senior McKyla Brooks (Blasdell), junior Maria Poole (Stavanger, Norway) and junior Kendra Harlow (St. James) all notched eight kills. Graduate student Emily Costello (Webster) ended the match leading the team with 18 digs. Junior LeAnne Sakowicz (Wauconda, Ill.) tallied 33 assists in the victory. Up next, Stony Brook looks to win its 14th straight on Nov. 9 when the team travels to UMBC at 7 p.m.

Mount Sinai High School Drama Club honors Sandy Hook victims, community with ‘26 Pebbles’ play

BY MELISSA ARNOLD

n the world of high school theater, it’s pretty common to see a troupe of eager teens take the stage to perform a lighthearted comedy or timeless musical. David Kramer knows that, and he’s certainly enjoyed directing shows in those genres many times before. But in the past several years, the director of Mount Sinai High School’s theater program has moved to exploring deeper topics for the beneﬁt of both actors and audiences. Kramer has devoted more than 40 years to arts education. He taught music in the Miller Place School District for 39 years and was also involved with the after-school theater program. In 2014, he was hired to direct both the annual drama and musical for Mount Sinai High School. The opportunity has enabled him and his students to be able to bring plays that “hope to spark conversations of timely, mature social issues” to the community, including “The Laramie Project,” “And Then They Came for Me,” “Twelve Angry Jurors” and “Our Town.” On Nov. 13 and 17, Mount Sinai High School will present “26 Pebbles,” a poignant and timely one-act drama about how the citizens of Newtown, Connecticut, grieve and attempt to recover in the wake of the Dec. 14, 2012 massacre of 20 children and 6 adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

This show builds upon Mount Sinai’s growing reputation for tackling difﬁcult topics and societal issues through its drama program. “I always thought there should be high-quality shows that expose young adults to different aspects of the human condition as well as theater skills,” Kramer said. “I’m not looking to crush them. I’m looking to help them develop a sensitivity to what’s going on in society. My goal is to use theater to encourage change.” Kramer selected “26 Pebbles” for its focus on current events, including gun violence and the ensuing debate about safety in schools. Several school districts on Long Island now employ armed guards, so Kramer found the show relevant to local audiences. He was also touched by the story of a former student whose child attended Sandy Hook Elementary School at the time of the shooting. While some of the auditioning students admitted that they initially weren’t excited over Kramer’s selection, he said they all agreed it was an important story that needed telling. During auditions, Kramer showed students a trailer of the show and asked them to read from portions of the script. The result is a cast that connects deeply to the show’s message and is passionate about sharing it with audiences. Playwright Eric Ulloa spent months in Newtown conducting dozens of interviews for “26 Pebbles,” which uses a docudrama format to tell

the story of Sandy Hook through a variety of perspectives. While the original script calls for each actor to play multiple characters, Kramer chose to expand the cast by assigning individual roles. The stories of parents, teachers, ﬁrst responders, clergy and community members are all represented by a cast of 24 students in grades 9 through 12. The set for the show is deliberately sparse and unﬁnished, conveying that both the national conversation on gun violence and Newtown’s recovery are ongoing. Kramer is extremely proud of his students and their dedication to telling the story of Sandy Hook with respect, honesty and powerful emotion. To prepare for the show, Kramer asked the cast to write mock sympathy notes to families who lost loved ones in the shooting, allowing them to connect and empathize with the people they portray. “The souls of [the people of Newtown] are embedded in these students for the hour and a half they’re on that stage … they have shown incredible realism and growth. I think whoever comes to this show will be incredibly taken by it.” Mount Sinai High School, located at 110 N. Country Road, Mount Sinai, will present “26 Pebbles” at 7 p.m. Nov. 13 and 17. Tickets are $10 at the door. Runtime is approximately 90 minutes. There is no violence in the show, but it is recommended for mature audiences only. For information, call 631-870-2800 or 631-870-2882.

The community is invited to join Town of Huntington ofﬁcials, the Veterans Advisory Board, and local ofﬁcials for a Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11 at 9 a.m. at Veterans Plaza, 100 Main St., Huntington. The Northport High School Tour Choir will perform patriotic music and refreshments will be served following the ceremony. Call 631-351-3000.

Opinion

Letters to the editor

Let’s keep engaging

Too many of us Americans have unfortunate, unacceptable beliefs about our fellow inhabitants. Every American, as I have written here before, and as we all should realize, is either an immigrant or the descendant of immigrants, including even those whom we used to call Indians. Some Americans, of course, did not voluntarily migrate to America but were brought here as slaves, mainly from Africa, but their descendants are just as American as the rest of us. The fact that current Americans were born here or have lived here for some time does not automatically make them in any way superior to newcomers. Let’s focus on the fact that, thousands of years ago Asians were the first people to arrive in America, when there were apparently no resident human beings on American soil. Those early Asians and their descendants are referred to as Native Americans — we used to call them “Indians” (understandably). Europeans

Editorial

Election Day may be over, but the work has just begun. Political races are not just about the outcomes. Consistent engagement is needed to make actual change once campaigning is over. The momentum we have seen from our community needs to be kept up by members of both political parties, regardless of the 2018 midterm results. Political engagement starts with voting, but continues with having conversations with elected officials, attending meetings and keeping an eye on meeting agendas. Let the officials know where you stand on critical issues and how you want them to vote while in office to continue to receive your support. Make a call, send an email or set an appointment to meet your state assemblymember, congressional representative or town councilperson at his or her office. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and let your officials know what’s on your mind. Another key part of civic engagement is having conversations with the people you encounter in everyday life, whether you agree with them or not, and even joining civic associations. There is no denying that there has been an air of growing divisiveness during the last few years in our country. Conversations across the aisle are needed more than ever. Those discussions aren’t happening amid disagreements about gun control, health care, taxes and more. Conversations quickly become so heated people who were once friends, or at least cordial acquaintances, avoid each other in supermarkets or delete and block each other on social media rather than talking it through. We encourage you to take the first steps in saying the chasm forming in this country is unacceptable. Painting swastikas on election signs is unacceptable. Comedians joking about a U.S. congressman with an eye patch saying, “I’m sorry, I know he lost his eye in war, or whatever,” is just not appropriate. Openly promoting racism and encouraging violence goes against fundamental human rights and American principles. With two years left until the next presidential election, and campaigns warming up already, it’s time to radically change the tone of the nation’s political discourse before it’s too late. People from different political parties can meet up, have intelligent conversations and come to an agreement. Or, simply agree to disagree and respect each other. There used to be a baseline acceptance that differing opinions were just that, and not an indication of evil motives. Not satisfied with election results or your elected representative? Start demanding political party leaders seek candidates who have fresh, new ideas supported by concrete plans and the knowledge, confidence and energy to get things done, but do it constructively and with an open mind. Neither party should take anything for granted, nor should President Donald Trump (R). After a turbulent first couple of years, there is serious work that needs to be done to unite our country to get it moving forward, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Remembering where we came from began to come here hundreds and hundreds of years after the Asians had already established themselves here, and many of the Europeans, alas, attempted to exterminate the Asian inhabitants. Beginning in 1492, the Americas were explored and then populated by the Spanish, British, Portuguese, Dutch, French, etc. The language of England came to dominate what is now the United States, but the Spanish language dominates the Central American — and most of the South American and Caribbean — nations. Other Europeans besides the British came here, and their languages contributed to the development of American English. Of course, many names of American places derive from Native American languages: Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee —and yes, Setauket and Montauk, too — plus thousands of other American places. Furthermore, let’s not forget that all human beings are the descendants of just

a few people who lived somewhere else on Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago. Thus, all of us are connected to one another genetically. We are a grand nation, true. But those disgraceful individuals among us who are prejudiced against various races, ethnic groups, religions, nations, etc., are fundamentally ignorant, crazed and definitely un-American. A recent extreme example is the horrendously vile maniac who horribly murdered several innocent Jewish people in a Pittsburgh temple. No group in our nation is either basically inferior or superior to any other. To feel superior to any immigrant group is totally unacceptable and extraordinarily immoral — and, let’s face it, terribly ignorant. Shame on all those who are prejudiced. Let us never forget Thomas Jefferson’s absolutely truthful phrase: “All men are created equal.” Elio Zappulla Stony Brook

Knowing your lung cancer risks As a nurse practitioner working with adults who have various smokingrelated lung diseases, lung cancer is always top of mind. Many New York residents may be unaware that lung cancer is the leading cancer killer of men and women in the U.S., accounting for about one in four cancer deaths. It is estimated that in 2018 alone 13,190 people in New York state will be diagnosed with lung cancer. One of the reasons that lung cancer is so deadly is that it is often diagnosed in later stages after the disease has already spread. It’s important for everyone to be proactive about knowing their risk for

the disease, but especially critical for former smokers who may not realize they are still at risk. Lung cancer screening is a new method of early detection that is a powerful tool to save lives. Too many of my patients have been diagnosed with lung cancer at a later stage — but this newly available screening can be a game changer. If we can catch the disease earlier, we can save lives. That’s why this November (Lung Cancer Awareness Month) I’m working to help the American Lung Association raise awareness about the disease and encourage all current and former smokers

to visit SavedByTheScan.org and take an easy quiz at www.lung.org/our-initiatives/ saved-by-the-scan/quiz/ to learn if they are at high risk and eligible for screening. Screening is covered by Medicare and most private insurance plans for those who meet the high-risk criteria. Please encourage your friends and loved ones to get screened. Through lung cancer screening, we have a powerful opportunity to save lives and change the narrative about this disease.

President provoked recent crimes Recent events — the latest — the attempted assassination of major Democratic officials and the murder of Jewish worshipers in Pittsburgh — reveal once again that Trump is an ignorant and dangerous man with a powerful instinct for autocracy and

autocratic rule, and he is the president of the once-liberal United States of America. There is no doubt that he has provoked these crimes, no matter who the surrogates are that carry them out. He must be stopped. His very ignorance of everything, including

the history of the 20th century, is what powers him and his supporters. It is incumbent upon us liberals to expose him day in, day out. And stop him from speaking out. Gus Franza East Setauket

Anticipating words that resonate through the new year

ords are the symphony that warms the skin and colors the silence. Words can be like the sound of reinforcements coming over the horizon when we feel penned down by an adversary. They rescue us just as we use them to swaddle others in their warmth. As we make the transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving, Black Friday and, eventually, the December holidays and the new year, D. None we can take solace of the above in the anticipation of words that BY DANIEL DUNAIEF provide warmth through the darker days of winter. We might take a trip to Central Park, where

the sound of sleigh bells from carriages around a corner alerts us to the appearance of an approaching horse, even as the animal might remind us of a city that predated internal combustion engines. Just the words “sleigh ride” might inspire our minds to play a song we performed in high school. Words can also convey the remarkable scents of the coming seasons, with the air carrying the mouthwatering Pavlovian cue from gingerbread houses or holiday cookies. I recently attended a wedding where a few well-chosen words triggered an almost immediate and reﬂexive “awww” from an audience delighted to hear how much a younger brother was inspired by his older brother, the groom. Reading about how important our coat donations are can inspire us to rummage through our closets to help a child or an adult become more comfortable in the frigid air. Well-chosen words can provide the kind of environment that empowers people to see and appreciate everything from the inspira-

tional image of a person overcoming physical limitations to the intricate beauty of a well-woven spiderweb shimmering in the low light of winter. Sometimes, as when a friend or family member is going through a signiﬁcant medical procedure or crisis, words or prayer or encouragement are all we have to offer, giving us something to do or say as we hope the words provide even a scintilla of comfort. Words can feel insufﬁcient to express how we feel or what we hope happens when someone who has been in the foreground of our lives for years seems suddenly vulnerable. Simple tools which we all take for granted, words can take us to a peaceful beach with the sound of water lapping on the coarse sand under our feet, transporting our minds and bodies away from the cacophony of busy lives. In big moments, athletes often suggest that they are at a loss for words. In reality, their words and emotions are undergoing so much competition that their brain experiences a word

bottleneck, with a flow of ideas and words awaiting the chance to dive from the tip of their tongues to the eager ears of their friends, family and fans. The coming holiday season is filled with diametrically opposed experiences, as the joy of opening presents and reconnecting with friends and family for the first time in months or even a year is counterbalanced by the stress and strain of those people who feel overwhelmed or alone. People who work at suicide hotlines or as 911 operators can and do use critical words to save people’s lives, bringing their minds back from the brink, restoring hope and offering a comforting verbal lifeline. We take words for granted because we see and hear them so often, but the right word at the right time can transcend the routine. Finding words that resonate is akin to strolling into a restaurant and discovering a combination of familiar and exotic flavors, all mixed together with a palate-pleasing texture that energizes us.

Proof that the more things change, the more they remain the same

s I sit here, writing my column on election eve, I can feel — or imagine I can feel — the nervousness of a nation on the threshold of the unknown. More than perhaps any other midterm election, this one has come to epitomize the turbulent and contradictory forces pulsating within America today. One thing is certain, however. The day after the election, we will still be living with those same forces: racism, income inequality, foreign affairs and the role today of the Between Constitution writyou and me ten more than two BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF centuries ago. Seemingly just in time, although he explains that he started the book two years before President Trump was elected, Joseph J. Ellis has written about these same subjects by sharing the conﬂicting view-

points of a quartet of our most admired Founding Fathers. Remarkably they concern these same issues, and hence Ellis states in “American Dialogue: The Founders and Us” that he is writing about “ongoing conversations between past and present.” He even labels chapters “then” and “now” lest the speciﬁc themes of his dialogues and how they relate to today are not clear. Our Founding Fathers not only argued among themselves, they argue across more than 240 years, speaking to us in the present — and in a way reassuring us that the dialoguing is not ruinous but rather an asset of our democracy. So much for our current concern about a divided country. The four founders are Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington and James Madison. Ellis describes Jefferson’s contemptible views on race as he grew older, insisting as he did that the two races could not live together and that blacks could never be equal to whites. This after a younger Jefferson wrote that “all men were created equal,” and denounced slavery. But as we know, he beneﬁted from many slaves at Monticello in Virginia and sired multiple children with his slave, Sally Hemings.

Certainly he struggled with the whole issue of race but did little to try to ameliorate the problem. He might have banned the spread of slavery to the Louisiana Purchase that he so brilliantly acquired in 1803, or sold some of it to compensate slave owners for freeing their slaves or even have provided a safe haven for freed slaves to live there. He did none of that. In their ﬁnal 14 years through 1826, Jefferson and Adams exchanged letters regularly, arguing not only for their time but consciously for future Americans to be able to read their deliberations. Jefferson held a romantic notion that economic and social equality — not between the races, however — would come to be the natural order of American life. Adams realistically insisted that “as long as property exists, it will accumulate in individuals and families ... the snowball will grow as it rolls.” Adams believed that government had a role in preventing the accumulation of wealth and power by American oligarchs. The Gilded Age of the late 1800s proved Adams right, as the unbridled freedom to pursue wealth essentially ensured the triumph of inequality. So has our own age. We have an endemic, widening gulf.

this juncture in our democracy? Madison — who orchestrated the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and the ratiﬁcation, wrote many of The Federalist Papers and drafted the Bill of Rights — changed dramatically from a staunchly held belief in federal supremacy to one in which states and the federal government shared sovereignty, thus allowing future residents to interpret the Constitution according to a changing world. Washington famously warned against foreign adventuring in countries of little threat to the United States. It was almost as if he could see Afghanistan and Iraq over the horizon. Ellis, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author of several books about our early history, believes that history helps us understand the present. We can see the same arguments going back and forth that somehow sound an optimistic chord. And what does he see as the ultimate ﬁx? A great crisis would certainly unite us, he suggests, perhaps even that of evacuation of the coasts with rising seas. He also thinks mandatory national service would help, not necessarily from the military aspect but toward some form of public good.

Health Link Health Information from Local Health Care Professionals

Scott R. Capustin, MD Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care Medicine Pulmonary Medicine and Sleep Disorders Program Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and or alveolar abnormalities. The good news is COPD is often preventable and treatable. Addressing COPD symptoms quickly can significantly improve quality of life once appropriate diagnoses and a treatment plan is determined.

If you would like more information or to make an appointment, please call (631) 870-3444. What are the common symptoms of COPD?

• Chest X-ray: A chest X-ray can show emphysema, one of the main causes of COPD. • CT scan: A CT scan of your lungs can help detect emphysema and help determine if you might benefit from surgery. • Arterial blood gas analysis: This blood test measures how well your lungs are bringing oxygen into your blood and removing carbon dioxide. • Laboratory tests: Laboratory tests aren't used to diagnose COPD but they may be used to determine the cause of your symptoms or rule out other conditions.

A. Many COPD symptoms are under reported by patients, but here are some of the common signs to be aware of: chronic recurring cough; fatigue; producing large amount of mucus (also called phlegm or sputum); shortness of breath; weight loss and wheezing. What are the common risk factors for developing COPD? A. The most common risk factors for developing COPD are: Active cigarette smoking and passive exposure; any tobacco smoking including cigars; occupational exposure to dusts and chemicals including but not limited to mining, smelting, woodworking, construction, and working with gasses and fumes; air pollution and genetic factors. How is COPD diagnosed? A. The diagnosis of COPD is made by a thorough medical history review, physical examination, and various diagnostic tests which are described below. • Pulmonary function tests (PFT): A pulmonary function test (PFT) measures the amount of air you can inhale and exhale and if your lungs are delivering enough oxygen to your blood.

Is COPD reversible? A. While lung damage caused by COPD is not reversible, making important lifestyle changes and complying with treatment plans can slow the progression of the disease, sometimes dramatically. How is COPD treated? A. COPD may not be reversible, but in most cases, it is treatable. Treatment plans differ, but usually include a combination of the following: most importantly, smoking cessation; inhalation therapy; exercise which may include a pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program; antibiotics and or steroids may be required for acute exacerbations.

Spotlight on Lung Cancer Screening Program Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., with most cases not diagnosed until later stages. In conjunction with the American College of Radiology, CHS’s Lung Cancer Screening Program offers low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) testing to those at high risk. LDCT, compared to standard chest X-ray, has been proven effective in detecting lung cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages. According to the Medicare-approved criteria, eligible participants must be 55–77, have a smoking history of at least 1 pack per day for 30 years (or 2 packs daily for 15 years), be currently smoking or have quit smoking within the last 15 years and without current signs or symptoms of lung cancer. The painless, non-invasive LDCT scan takes just 10–15 minutes to complete and does not require fasting, injections or medications. Most insurances and Medicare cover annual screening for eligible patients. CHS’s multidisciplinary team offers education and support services, as well as coordinating follow-up care. The program’s nurse navigators answer questions and determine whether screening is appropriate on a case-by-case basis. To learn more, please call (631) 775-5864 or email LUNG@chsli.org.
