Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D): “John McCain was a true American hero who valiantly served his country and dedicated his life to public service. Senator McCain served this great nation with both honor and distinction … On behalf of the over 1.5 million residents of Suffolk, I extend my deepest condolences and sympathies to the family, friends and loved ones of Senator McCain.” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R): “Senator John McCain was a true American hero who when held as a POW during the Vietnam War was given the option to leave captivity, but he refused to leave his men. His love of country, our military, and nation’s veterans, combined with his own lifelong dedicated service to our nation, sets him apart as an American patriot. My deepest condolences are with his family and all who had the honor of knowing this exceptional American as I have.” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D): “John McCain gave his life in service to this nation, exemplifying all that we admire in a hero. He was a warrior and a statesman, in the old-fashioned sense. In his own way, he spoke truth to power. He criticized Republicans and Democrats alike. John McCain criticized all of us. Because in his mind, those of us who are privileged to hold public office can never work hard enough for the people of this country. He was right.” U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D): “As you go through life, you meet few truly great people.

John McCain was one of them. His dedication to his country and the military were unsurpassed, and maybe most of all, he was a truth teller — never afraid to speak truth to power in an era where that has become all too rare. The Senate, the United States, and the world are lesser places without John McCain. Nothing will overcome the loss of Senator McCain, but so that generations remember him I will be introducing a resolution to rename the Russell building after him.” State Sen. Ken LaValle (R): “Senator John McCain was an extraordinary public servant and an authentic American hero. He was a maverick who did what he thought was right and always put his country above his party. As a captain in the Navy, McCain was shot down over Vietnam and endured unspeakable torture for five years as a prisoner of war. John refused his captors’ offers to go home because he knew that other Americans had been POWs longer amount of time. John McCain faced a brain cancer diagnosis the same way he lived his life — with courage, with toughness, and head-on. America has lost a true hero. John McCain a grateful nation salutes you.”

Setauket fire commissioners say yes to paid firefighters The Setauket Fire Department is embarking on new territory. Commissioners of the Setauket Fire District voted unanimously Aug. 23 in favor of changing the titles of four paid fire protection coordinators to firefighters. The four will be the first paid firefighters in the district’s history. Before the vote, a public hearing was held to give volunteers and residents the opportunity to air any grievances or ask questions. Approximately three dozen filled the meeting room and hallway as Commissioner Jay Gardiner began the hearing by reading a statement from the board members. He said the decision was the result of commissioners identifying issues in the fire district for several years. “The changing demographics of the membership of the fire department has been significant, and coupled with the decrease in number of new members, has manifested itself in a decline in the ability to respond to fire alarms with adequate personnel and proper equipment during certain critical periods,” Gardiner said. The commissioner said the district has come a long way since the days when volunteers worked

in the area in local mom and pop stores or as fishermen. He said due to the high cost of living in the area it has become prohibitive for many to establish careers near where they live, and work schedules make it impossible for them to volunteer. He said the department also has seen a significant rise in the median age of its members. Many of the district’s senior members no longer qualify as interior firefighters due to their advancing age. This becomes an issue during daytime hours. “Our district today has a daytime population of nearly 95,000 people which includes most of the university, the hospital and the Belle Mead Road corridor,” Gardiner said. “According to the National Fire Protection Association, this categorizes our district as an urban population, and the guidelines require a certain number of firefighters as well as an average response time for incidents. It is incumbent upon all of us to make sure we are in reach of this guideline to ensure the safety of our residents.” Gardiner said the district has been replacing retired fire coordinators with per diem workers who have professional firefighting experience. Under the state’s civil service laws, the fire coordinators handled tasks such as fire hydrant and commercial building inspections but are not legally allowed to respond to calls for help. By changing their position

to that of a firefighter, they will begin responding to active fires alongside the volunteers. The district is looking to have three paid firefighters on at a time during the hours of 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Since the coordinators were already on the payroll, the change of position to paid firefighters will not affect the district’s budget. Gardiner added there is no intention to fully replace the volunteer system, but the coordinators-turned-firefighters will help augment the volunteers already in place.

“This is not an indictment on the volunteers,” he said. “We have said this over and over again. We are all proud of the work of our fire and EMS volunteers.” Ken Larsen, firefighter and honorary chief, read a letter from volunteer Tom Gulbransen, who felt the district was giving too much attention to paid staff. He asked the commissioners to reconsider the best method to address the shortage of available volunteers to respond to daytime calls. Gulbransen suggested the fire department and district could work together to develop multiple options. “God help us if your proposal to pay three or four firefighters causes a drop in volunteer morale and participation,” Larsen read. “It is unsafe and unprofessional to propose these myopic single steps in isolation.” Former Commissioner Ed Forrester said he felt there hasn’t been enough conversation about the title change, and while he opposed the plan, he said if the commissioners could explain why it’s an absolute need he would back them 100 percent. “I really think it’s going to be the beginning of the death of the volunteer fire system,” Forrester said. “It’s going to spread like the wildfires out East and it’s going to Selden and Centereach and Coram, and everyone is going to say they need this. I actually feel it’s a want right now.”

SBU celebrates successful fundraising campaign BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Stony Brook University continues to make history. After graduating the largest class in May since SBU opened, the university announced Aug. 21 it concluded the most successful fundraising effort in the State University of New York’s history. In the past seven years, The Campaign for Stony Brook raised $630.7 million, according to a press release from SBU. A total of 47,961 friends, alumni, foundations and corporations donated to help

the university exceed its campaign goal of $600 million. “Philanthropy, and the generosity of our donors, provides the margin of excellence for an R1, [Association of American Universities] public research university like Stony Brook, during a time when state support is waning, and more and more students are seeking access to excellence,” said Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr., university president, in a statement. “The Campaign for Stony Brook dramatically underscores the importance and impact of philanthropy across our campus and I am extremely grateful to my fellow campaign leaders, and to those who contributed the extra resources we need to continue

to educate and prepare the leaders of tomorrow.” The money raised from the campaign has enabled the university to add 44 newly endowed chairs and professorships in various departments. Before the campaign, SBU only had 11 endowed faculty positions on campus, according to the press release. In addition to the endowed positions, new investments have been made in areas such as the Southampton graduate programs in creative writing and film, undergraduate research, the Alda Center for Communicating Science, the Gelfond Fund for Mercury Research and the Dubin Family Athletic Performance Center. The university will use $52.6 million of the funds raised for student financial aid, with $40.3 million for current use and $12.3 million for endowed undergraduate scholarships and graduate student fellowships. According to the press release, the contributions will also benefit the Medical and Research Translation and Stony Brook Children’s Hospital buildings scheduled to open this fall, the university pool will be refurbished, and plans are underway to modernize the North and Central Reading Rooms in the Melville Library and to expand the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics. To create and support academic centers, $209.1 million has been set aside. Among the centers that will benefit are the Bahl Center for Metabolomics and Imaging, the Institute for Advanced Computational — Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr. Science, the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology, the Mattoo Center for India Studies, the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program, the Lourie Center for Pediatric MS and the Thomas Hartman Center for Parkinson’s Research. The campaign began in the fall of 2011 with a lead gift of $150 million from the Simons Foundation and former Math Department chair, Jim Simons, with his wife Marilyn. After the Simons’ donation, employees of Renaissance Technologies in Setauket, a hedge fund firm Jim Simons founded, donated more than $127.4 million. Richard Gelfond, chair of the Stony Brook Foundation board and CEO of IMAX Corporation, said in a statement that the Simons’ donation “created a groundswell of support.” “Their confidence in Stony Brook and the investments they inspired have given the university the financial capacity to compete for the best researchers, clinicians, teachers and students and to aim for excellence in every way,” Gelfond added. Funds raised have already helped to catalyze several innovative, impactful research and clinical programs, according to Dr. Kenneth Kaushansky, Stony Brook University School of Medicine dean and senior vice president for Health Sciences. “Campaign funding has also greatly enhanced our strength in imaging technology to diagnose and treat disease, in leveraging big data to help detect patterns of disease and response to treatment, and in new procedures to reduce the risk of stroke, colon cancer and heart disease,” Kaushansky said.

If it is true that one’s eyes are the gateway into their soul, then it can be said that the man behind the door of Stony Brook Vision World holds the key that opens the gateway to customer satisfaction! Andrew N. Polan’s introduction into the field of opticianry began at an early age. He received his love for the profession from his dad, who was (and still is) an optician, as Andy would help his father in his store during school breaks. His father, uncle, three cousins, sister, and brotherin- law are all opticians. Stony Brook Vision World is an independent franchise which Andy took over more than 14 years ago. What sets this store apart is Andy’s belief that professional service and competitive pricing are of utmost importance to any business. “It is vitally important that patients feel they haven’t been “sold to.” Too often this happens, and that’s not a way to run any business,” Andy says. “People should be treated as patients, not customers which is why I like to get involved with the patients who come here. I enjoy providing the personal service that just can’t exist at mass retailers. Andy first went into accounting, then found that his love for optics was his real calling. A Fellow of the National Academy of Opticians, he was instrumental in writing the curriculum for the Ophthalmic Dispensing program at SCCC. Andy, often quietly, has been a leader in the Stony Brook/Three Village Community for many years. He is President of the Three Village Chamber of Commerce and is the Immediate Past President of the North Shore Jewish Center. He also contributes his efforts to the Veterans Home in Stony Brook. As far as expansion into other locations, Andy never wants to lose that “personal touch” that is so rare in some other businesses. “You can’t be in multiple locations and remain accessible to your patients. You wind up losing the personal touch. When it comes to eye care, it’s in the best interest of the patient that they deal with one person who is familiar with their needs. Why should someone ever risk their eye health?” Andy said. “I made a house call the other day to a homebound woman. It’s important to always be there for your patients.” Exceptional service is not an optical illusion… at Stony Brook Vision World, patients receive the best care and the best service for the best price. Andy specializes in hard to fit patients and hard to fill prescriptions. Seniors find that he has a special devotion to providing the absolute best service- staying late if necessary and making house calls if someone cannot make it into Stony Brook Vision World. “I believe in being hands-on. It’s important to keep in mind that no matter how big a community gets, we should act like a small town. People like that, and who more than seniors deserves that?” Stony Brook Vision World carries the most modern frames, made from the most durable and technologically sound materials in today’s market. They carry titanium and stainless steel, all made to be lightweight. Andy believes in accommodating to everyone’s budget, carrying something for every price range-from the most generic that you would see at a major optical discounter, to the most exclusive eyewear you would see at a private optical center in New York City. Coach, Prada, etc. are at Stony Brook Vision World, along with mainstream eyewear. No matter the frame, the lenses are all first grade. Eye exams are given four days a week by a Doctor of Optometry, and the other three days the store has an audiology specialist on hand for customers who may need a hearing aid. “We provide Miracle Ear,” Andy says, “and there’s no charge for a hearing test.” Stony Brook Vision World is proud to announce that in addition to other providers, they are now a provider for DavisVision and VSP. Andy Polan is an honorable man with great integrity. His patients always come first, and he will never compromise professionalism. Perhaps this is why the store is so successful.

Village RITA J. EGAN The MTA is currently updating the Stony Brook train station, which will lead to modern amenities and more security.

Train station gets modern additions

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is giving the Stony Brook Long Island Rail Road train station a makeover. The MTA began renovations on the station’s train house July 23 and will continue working on the station into the fall. In addition to being renovated, the station house will receive modern enhancements and upgrades, according to Aaron Donovan, MTA deputy communications director. The station house was built around 1888, according to the book “Images of America: Stony Brook,” and rebuilt in 1917, according to the MTA. The one-story structure will be completely renovated inside and out, and there will be the addition of a Wi-Fi network and charging ports, according to Donovan. Commuters will soon see improved signage and digital information displays, including electronic information columns, and bicyclists will have new bike racks. The station platforms will be updated with new lighting and closed-circuit television security cameras, according to Donovan. Plans also include sidewalk improvements and a new sculpture in the plaza area. The MTA has upgraded the station throughout the decades, Donovan said, including the station’s high-level platforms being installed in 1985 and targeted renovation work done to platform railings, lighting and platform shelters in 2011.

LEGALS NOTICE OF SALE SUPREME COURT COUNTY OF SUFFOLK Ditech Financial LLC f/k/a Green tree Servicing LLC, Plaintiff AGAINST David A. Kaufman, et al., Defendant(s) Pursuant to a Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale duly dated 2-28-2017 I, the undersigned Referee will sell at public auction at the Brookhaven Town Hall, 1 Independence Hill, Farmingville, NY 11738, on 9-13-2018 at

Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said in a statement she was pleased that work began this summer. “The Stony Brook train station is one of the most recognizable community landmarks in the Three Village area,” Cartright said. “There have been requests for upgrades over the years. I am pleased that the MTA saw the importance of meeting with community members including civic leaders, town Historic District Advisory Committee members and government officials to collaborate and develop a renovation plan. It is important that renovations to the station are in keeping with the historical character of the area while meeting the needs of modern travelers.” Robert Reuter, a member of Brookhaven’s Historic District Advisory Committee, said he provided input but not officially on behalf of HDAC. “We encouraged them to preserve the existing and familiar green and beige color scheme, locate planned new ticketing machines away from the bay window, improve handicap accessibility both at the station and crossing the tracks, and minimize signage,” Reuter said. In 2017, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) introduced a proposal to invest $120 million to provide stateof-the-art enhancements to 16 LIRR stations, including Stony Brook — and also at Port Jefferson. The MTA covered $35 million of the investment to the railroad stations, according to its website. It is estimated by the LIRR that 2,330 customers use the Stony Brook train station daily.

11-year-old found in hot car in Coram dies BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The late summer extreme heat wave likely contributed to the death of an 11-year-old girl in Coram Aug. 28. Suffolk County Police Homicide detectives are investigating the death of the girl who was found unresponsive in a vehicle on Kathleen Crescent in Coram Tuesday at about 3:45 p.m., police said. The girl’s mother had been running errands with the 11-year-old and two other children,

according to police. After returning home, the girl’s mother went inside believing all of the children were out of the car. Sometime later, the mother could not locate the 11-year-old girl and checked inside of the car where she found the girl. The mother carried her inside the house and called 911. The girl’s mother began CPR. Police arrived in less than two minutes. Police and rescue personnel from Coram Rescue continued CPR and transported the girl to Stony Brook University Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Poquott board moves forward with dock, 5-year bond

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Plans to build a community dock continue to cause waves in the Village of Poquott. Approximately two dozen Poquott residents rallied Aug. 25 on Route 25A in East Setauket to protest the village trustees’ decision to rescind a resolution for a 10-year bond to pay for construction of a village dock in favor of a five-year bond. The protesters have been against the dock’s construction for nearly a decade. The mayor and trustees called an emergency meeting Aug. 23 after more than 200 residents signed a petition requesting a referendum vote on the dock plans. In July, the board voted for a 10-year bond instead of their original plan for a five-year note after tabling the decision earlier in the year when bids came in higher than predicted. The original plans were estimated to cost $150,000 but did not include Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant ramps. The new cost of the dock will be approximately $255,000. In an email to residents after the Aug. 23 vote, Mayor Dee Parrish explained the reasons for the change from a 10-year to a 5-year bond noting the

construction of a dock had been “a known work in progress since 2010.” She said residents were first sent a survey in 2010, and the village mailed out two additional surveys in following years. The majority of village residents answered they were in favor of a community dock, according to the mayor, which will be built in California Park at the end of Washington Street and will measure 128 feet by 4 feet. The board of trustees officially began planning efforts in 2015. “The dock plan was in forward motion since then and the decision we faced was not whether or not to put it to a vote, but rather how to pay for the construction,” Parrish wrote. “The recent petition for referendum was challenged, and the village attorney recommended that the five-year bond would ensure that project move[s] forward as originally planned by the board.” Trustee Jeff Koppelson said the board had considered a 10-year bond to reduce the annual cost to Poquott residents, but once they became aware of the petition for a referendum, moved forward with the original five-year plan. “Hopefully, we are at a point we can actually build the dock,” Koppelson said. John Richardson, a village trustee who ran

for mayor this year, said the village attorney informed him the residents would not be able to request a referendum given the five-year bond, and he voted “nay” for the new payment plan. Under New York State law, a request for a referendum would be allowed with a 10-year bond. Richardson said he is concerned because the bond was not put out for a bid, and he believes residents should be able to vote on whether or not they wanted a dock and how to pay for it. He also said the feedback he has received from residents is that they are worried about maintenance and insurance costs. “I’m representing what people want,” Richardson said. “If they’re paying for it, they should have a say in it.” Felicia Chillak, who ran for trustee this year, went door to door with others to collect signatures for the petition requesting a referendum. She said the residents who signed were a mixture of those who wanted a community dock and those who didn’t, but all believe it should be voted on. Chillak said she had 30 days after the July 19 board meeting to turn the signatures into the village clerk, and as of Aug. 16 the petition had 196 names. She was then notified by the state Comptroller’s Office due

to Aug. 18 falling on a Saturday, she could submit the paperwork by Aug. 20. Chillak then presented the village clerk with an amended petition with 207 signatures. She said the petition needed the signatures of more than 20 percent of Poquott voters, and a recent voter registration list from the Suffolk County Board of Election that she obtained lists 802 registered voters reside in the village. However, at the Aug. 23 meeting, Village Attorney Joseph Prokop questioned the validity of some signatures. Chillak said some people were hesitant to sign the petition or participate in the Aug. 25 rally. “This is a serious issue in this village,” she said. “Even when we were getting petitions signed, residents were afraid of the mayor seeing their signature in fear of retribution.” According to Parrish’s email, village officials and residents have organized multiple community events, including the Poquott Community Association’s Lobster Bake, with the intent to raise money for the dock. To date, $20,000 has been raised. The village also acquired three floating docks valued at $16,000 at no cost. Parrish said an average household will see a $123.20 a year increase in their taxes to pay off the five-year bond.

History Close at Hand

Jonas Hawkins: A Revolutionary War spy in Stony Brook BEVERLY C. TYLER

BY BEVERLY C. TYLER Part one of two Major Jonas Hawkins, son of Major Eleazer and Ruth (Mills) Hawkins, was born in Stony Brook, April 28, 1752, in what is now known as the Hawkins-Mount House at the intersection of Route 25A and Stony Brook Road. Jonas Hawkins married his first cousin Ruth Mills, Jan. 1, 1775, a little more than three months before the first shots were fired at Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts, April 18 and 19, 1775 — dates that marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Hawkins was one of 73 men who signed the Association to sustain the Continental Congress and The Provincial Conventional in Brookhaven on June 8, 1775. The men who signed pledged themselves to stand against British tyranny. The list also included Selah Strong and Jonathan and Samuel Thompson who supplied intelligence to Gen. Washington in 1777, before becoming refugees in Connecticut after their spying was discovered. It appears that during the entire Revolutionary War, Hawkins and his wife remained at their home and farm in Stony Brook as six of their children were born there between 1776 and 1783. It is also known that Hawkins made a number of trips into New York City to gather information that he supplied to Washington through the Setauket-based

The home of Jonas Hawkins, above, is still located at the intersection of Route 25A and Stony Brook Road in Stony Brook.

Culper Spy Ring between January and June 1779. He also needed to make trips to New York City to purchase dry goods and other items that were necessary for the general store and ordinary that he ran out of his home in Stony Brook. Hawkins’ home was built in 1757, and the loading door on the third-story gable end still reads, “Jonas Hawkins Store and Ordinary.” We don’t know exactly when the general store was started but by 1780, and probably by the end of 1778, it was in full operation with Hawkins making frequent trips to New York City. The bill of credit below, part of the Three Village Historical Society’s Local History Collection, is one of a number of handwritten bills that indicate the range of products that rural general

store merchants stocked and had available. Bills of credit for Hawkins from 1780 through 1784 indicate that he also made purchases from many wholesalers such as “Elijah & Isaac Cock,” “Woodhull and Dickinson,” “Pearsall Glover” and “Willet Seaman.” “Bought of Peter Smith & co ... Brooklyn, N.Y., Nov 17th 1780 5 Razors at l/9 ... 8 .. 9 (8 shillinas, 9 pence) 1 gross sleeve buttons 19.. 1 Bladder Snuff 4/6 18..7 6 u(units) pepper @ 3/6. 1. .. 1 (1 pound, 1 shilling) Mr. Jonas Hawkins” The range of items Hawkins purchased is quite extensive and indicates that local residents, especially after the Revolutionary War (1775–1783), had a wide range of goods available from the country general store. Hawkins, bought quantities of “Callico” (imported cotton textile), “Linnen,” “Superfine cloth” (finely woven linen), “Durant” (a variety of worsted wool),” “Cambruk” (cambric, linen or fine white cotton glazed on one side), “gause, thread, narrow Blk binding, cordarry” (corduroy) and “calimmink” (calamanco — a European woolen cloth of satin weave in an imitation of camel’s hair). Hawkins also purchased tea, nutmegs, clover

seed, barrels of sugar, raisins, rum, gin, wine and tobacco. From another supplier he received “twist”(mottled woolens), buttons, bibles, pins, writing paper, shoe bindings and sewing silk as well as other cloths called “blue Tabareen” (Tabbinet — an Irish-made poplin), “Blue Morine” (Moreen — a stout, water-embossed finished fabric of wool or wool and cotton) and “black Tafaty” (taffeta — a rich thin silk). From yet another supplier he received sickles, scythes, pen knives, tobacco boxes and something listed as “1 doz Tomatum.” From Andrew Van Tuyh he received more than 100 yards of green, brown and “mixt German Sarge” (serge) as well as metal buttons and 1 dozen silver spurs. Locally, “Mr. Hawkins bought of Edward Dayton — 8 paire of shoes at 7s (shillings a) pair.” After the Revolutionary War, the country general store came into its own as an institution. It was an original American idea, an outgrowth of independence, an example of Yankee know-how and frontier enterprise at its best. The general store became part of the Triangle Trade. Beverly C.

County

Sandy Hook parents share violence prevention strategies with Suffolk schools On Dec. 14, 2012, a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, left more than 20 people dead, mostly first-graders, shocking the world and changing it permanently. Much of that change can be attributed to the efforts of those who were most personally impacted by the tragic events of that day. Parents from Sandy Hook were invited to St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue Aug. 16 by Suffolk County Sheriff’s office to share details about four programs they’ve created aimed at preventing violence in schools to a room packed with Suffolk County school district superintendents, administrators and lawmakers. Sandy Hook Promise, a national nonprofit organization, was founded by parents including Mark Barden, a professional musician originally from Yonkers who had moved to Newtown in 2007 with his wife to raise their three kids. His son, Daniel, was 7 years old when he was killed during the tragedy. “It is very real and a very personal mission that I do this work to honor that kid, who we used to jokingly call ‘the caretaker of all living things,’ because that’s how he lived his life,” Barden said of his son. He said Daniel was known for trying to connect with other kids he saw eating alone, for holding doors for strangers in public and for picking up earthworms from the hot sidewalk and moving them to safety in the grass, among other instinctual acts of kindness he regularly displayed. “That’s how I’ve chosen to honor his life is through this work,” Barden said. Sandy Hook Promise’s approach to carrying out its mission of preventing all gun-related deaths can be viewed as an extension of Daniel’s legacy of caring for those in need. Barden was joined Aug. 16 by two other members of the organization — Myra Leuci, national account manager, and Marykay Wishneski, national program coordinator — who detailed the initiatives the nonprofit pitches to school districts interested in improving their prevention strategies. The four strategies, which fall under the nonprofit’s Know the Signs program, are taught to youth and adults free of charge in the hopes of fostering an environment that empowers everyone in the community to help identify and intervene when someone is at risk. Say Something is an anonymous reporting system that teaches kids how to recognize warning signs, especially on social media, and gives them an outlet to get adults involved. Start With Hello is a training program that teaches students how to be more inclusive and connected to peers. Safety Assessment & Intervention

“It is a very real and a very personal mission that I do this work to honor that kid, who we used to jokingly call ‘the caretaker of all living things ...’” — Mark Barden

Mark Barden, a founder of the nonprofit Sandy Hook Promise, presents violence prevention strategies to a room full of Suffolk lawmakers and school officials during an Aug. 16 event at St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue as Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. looks on.

program is geared toward adults and aims to teach them how to identify, assess and respond to threats of violence or at-risk behavior prior to a situation developing. The Signs of Suicide program teaches people how to identify and intervene to get help for those displaying signs of depression or suicidal behavior. The nonprofit offers in-person training for each program, though Say Something and Start With Hello are available to be downloaded and self-led by interested districts. Since assuming ofﬁce in January, Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. said he has made improving school safety and developing uniform, countywide approaches a top priority. Just a few weeks into his tenure, the country was rocked by the mass shooting Feb. 14 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed by a lone gunman. “It’s an obligation that I feel I have as the Suffolk County Sheriff, to work with all of our partners, but I do feel I cannot stand on the sidelines and just watch,” Toulon said. “We really have to be proactive. Everyone from our police departments, our school administrators, everybody’s taking this banner on. Thankfully we’re all working together to really keep our communities and our children safe.” Toulon has offered free safety assessments on a voluntary basis to interested districts. Suffolk

Executive Steve Bellone (D) has taken several steps already to improve school safety including starting an initiative that allows interested districts to grant access to in-school security cameras to the police department, and securing funds for a mobile phone application for municipal workers and school district employees that can be activated and used in the event of an active shooter situation to notify law enforcement. Bellone announced new initiatives to increase police patrols in school buildings, assign additional ofﬁcers to the SCPD’s homeland security section and establish a text tip line to report troubling activities this month. “We are educators, so partnering with law enforcement and those with the skilled lens of how to best ensure the safety of our students has been paramount,” said Ken Bossert, president of Suffolk County Superintendents Association who leads Elwood school district. “So the focus and attention that law enforcement has paid on our schools is just greatly appreciated.” Representatives from districts across the North Shore attended the informational forum and expressed interest in implementing some or all of what Sandy Hook Promise has to offer, including Huntington Superintendent James Polansky and Port Jefferson Superintendent Paul Casciano. “A lot of what we heard today I’m going to roll out just informationally to my administrative

staff,” Polansky said, adding Huntington has taken up Toulon on his offer to assess building safety already. “We’re actually looking to pursue a lot of the initiatives Sandy Hook Promise has to offer.” Casciano expressed a similar sentiment. “It’s a great resource, and we’re very interested in pursuing it,” he said. “We’ll be making our contacts.” Several attendees commended Toulon for embracing a leadership role on school safety, including Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D), who was among the wide array of lawmakers at the event along with the school ofﬁcials. “It shows that our sheriff has a pulse on the public safety worries of our parents,” said county Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), who is a licensed social worker. She called Toulon’s approach incredibly important. “It shows that he has the recognition that when you have a shooter at the door of a school, it’s too late, and this really needs to be about prevention. We cannot police this, we need to prevent this. And that’s what this is about.” Bossert said superintendents in the county have been working to put together a uniform blueprint for school safety and are planning to roll it out later this month.

Firefighters serve up fun, raise funds for foundation

BY RITA J. EGAN

On Aug. 23, the Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook hosted a 4-on-4 volleyball tournament with local fire departments, including Setauket, Centereach and Selden, competing to win and raise money for the Lt. Joseph P. DiBernardo Memorial Foundation. The money raised will help to buy “bailout systems,” which are personal escape kits, for fire departments in need all over the country. The winners of the $1,000 prize money were members of New York City Fire Department’s Watkins Station Engine 231/Ladder 120 — Darren Fenton, Patrick Tulley, Connor Norman and Anthony Edrehi. The tournament winners and JohnPaul Sabbagh, from the Terryville Fire Department who won the event’s 50/50 raffle, donated their winnings back to the foundation. The event cost $20 to enter, and the tournament was judged by John Tsunis, owner of the hotel; Joe DiBernardo Sr.; and Leah Dunaief, publisher of Times Beacon Record News Media. Dan Keller from Stony Brook University’s athletics department served as referee. Tsunis said the hotel hopes to make the tournament an annual event, adding, “It was a lot of fun to have all the firefighters there and all the community members we recruited to play.”

Opinion

We need to simplify politics With less than two weeks to go before New York State’s primaries, we’ve been ramping up our coverage of the 2018 elections at TBR News Media. One thing has become abundantly clear: There are a seemingly endless number of hurdles for who can run, their campaigns and how to vote. In Shoreham, Rocky Point Fire Chief Mike Yacubich has fought to stay on the ballot after citizens in the state’s 2nd Assembly District challenged his petitions to be the Republican candidate to run for the seat. Their objections were based on the fact that he and his son share the same name — and that there was no distinguishing middle initial indicated on the forms — which they argued could have led to confusion for voters. In Northport, Democratic hopeful Michael Marcantonio was found ineligible to run for the state’s 12th Assembly District after it was brought to the court’s attention he cast his vote in North Carolina in 2014. At the time, he was a law student at Duke University and didn’t realize judges may rule that ballot severed his five-year residency in New York, which is the time required to run for political office. In Huntington, Republican candidates have petitioned to create a “Stop LIPA” ballot line for the Nov. 6 elections. Their opponents have filed objections. It has raised questions about when Stop LIPA became a legitimate third party and cast doubts on which elected officials are rallying against the utility’s attempt to get the taxes lowered on its Northport plant, an issue we see as local and party-less. Throughout the summer, we’ve seen voter drives encouraging teenagers to register before heading off to college. The process of simply obtaining an absentee ballot requires completing a preliminary application that needs to be hand delivered to the Suffolk County Board of Elections Yaphank office or snail mailed at least seven days in advance, and casting an absentee ballot then requires a second trip to the post office. Also, being required to work during polling hours is not listed as a valid reason for obtaining an absentee ballot. Our state laws regarding how to run for office and how to cast a vote need to be simplified. The process needs to be streamlined and modernized. Our failure to do so hurts both Democrats and Republicans, it knows no party lines. Rather, it collectively silences the voices of aspiring politicians looking to make a difference, employees working long hours to make ends meet and uninformed youth who find too many barriers between them and the polling booths. First, information on how to run for office and eligibility needs to be made clear and more easily available to the public. A fundamental concept to our democracy is that anyone can run for office — but they have to know how and what to do. In New York state, anyone with a valid driver’s license can register to vote online and change their party affiliation. Given this is possible, we fail to see any reason why a request for an absentee ballot should not also be fileable via email or an online form on Suffolk County Board of Elections’ website with an electronic confirmation given. With the technology available today, it’s hard to believe we’re locked into pen-and-paper forms and snail mail to register political candidates for elections and to vote if temporarily out of state. It’s time we re-examine these methods. Participating in democracy should be getting easier, not more difficult. Letters … We welcome your letters. They should be no longer than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste. We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation.

McCain deserves respect from president One of the finest politicians of our era was Sen. John McCain, whose recent death has upset nearly all of us, with the possible exception of the current mindless occupant of the White House. Republican McCain was a superb human being and a very admirable politician — a man of great honor and integrity, who was highly respected by members of both political parties. His defense of his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, during the 2008 election, was a perfect example of McCain’s quality as a man. McCain’s deeds and words were appreciated by nearly every one of us Democrats, especially when McCain defended Obama from some absurd remarks made by ignorant people about Obama’s country of origin. President Donald Trump’s repellent and highly insulting comments about McCain during Trump’s uniquely appalling presidential campaign should have caused Trump to be defeated in 2016. Most Republicans were indignant about

Editorial

Letters to the editor

Trump’s disgraceful remarks about the senator, whom he disgustingly accused of not being a hero because he had been imprisoned in Asia by the enemy of the U.S.

What a monumentally stupid remark! Every day Trump somehow dishonors our nation deeply, perhaps permanently. Anyone with half a brain could understand and respect the comments, the deeds, the sacrifices of McCain, especially in the 20th century. On the other hand, Trump’s mindless insults in 2016 will permanently remain among the ugliest nastiness in American political history. I read that the McCain family does not want the president to speak — maybe not even show up — at McCain’s funeral service. Excellent rejection! Nearly all of us, including my fellow Democrats, are now deeply saddened by the passing of the senator — a fine politician, a great American hero, a man of impeccable morals. God bless John McCain, a real American hero. He will perennially be a sterling figure in our nation’s history. Elio Zappulla Stony Brook

Senator’s death a lesson in health care I was saddened to learn of the death of Sen. John McCain this past weekend. I have great respect for McCain’s service to his country. He endured hardships in his years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam that I can’t imagine. As a progressive Democrat, I disagreed with his politics and many of the votes he cast, but he is a shining example of a man who loved his country and led a life of public service. As we talk about this man and his life, there’s something no one is discussing that is really important — and that is health care. McCain was able to treat this

very aggressive form of cancer for the past year because he had excellent health care, provided by the government. He chose to end the treatment and to enter hospice and die surrounded by those who loved him. How many millions of Americans don’t have these options? How many millions of Americans have been bankrupted by health care costs? How many times have our politicians, including our very own Congressman Lee Zeldin, voted to deny these options to the Americans they were elected to serve? Some may think it’s too political to

talk about this at the end of a man’s life, but I don’t. Politicians like McCain make decisions about health care that affect all of us. I firmly believe that every American has the right to the same health care that members of Congress have. My heart goes out to his family. Illness, loss and end of life is painful. May they find comfort and peace in the coming days. And may we finally have the justice of health care for all in this nation, the way every member of Congress does. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Happy 80th birthday to historian Bev Tyler Thank you for the lovely profile of Three Village’s chief historian, Beverly Tyler in the Aug. 23 edition of The Village Times Herald. I had the opportunity to interview him in 2016 for this newspaper,

just after his mother’s passing. I remember asking him, “Have you lived in this area all your life?” to which he replied, not skipping a beat, “Not yet.” Happy birthday, Bev. May you bless us

with your presence at least as long as your Mom did. Donna Newman Stony Brook former editor, The Village Times Herald

Opinion

Appreciating workers of all stripes

abor Day offers a chance to consider the division of labor that makes living on Long Island and in the United States so incredible. Police officers stand ready to protect and serve. They leave their homes with the best of intentions, providing safety, security and order to our communities. Similarly, firefighters offer an enormous measure D. None of protection for us individually and of the above collectively, racing BY DANIEL DUNAIEF into burning buildings to save us and keeping fires from spreading to nearby homes. Members of the military protect our interests and help residents in our communities, country

and strangers around the world. Priests, rabbis, imams and other spiritual leaders encourage us to aspire to greatness, to see beyond our frustration and anger, and to believe in a higher purpose and a grander plan. They bring out the best in us and suggest ways to give our lives meaning beyond meeting our basic needs. Psychologists and psychiatrists act as handrails for people’s minds and emotions, helping us deal with a wide range of challenges, frustrations and difficulties. Doctors, nurses and medical health professionals refuse to allow bacteria, viruses or injuries to get the better of us, standing ready to help us fight an infection, determining what that mysterious pain is and, at best, help treat the cause of the disorder and not just the symptoms. Sanitation workers enable us to keep our homes and communities clean. Supermarket workers stock the shelves, help us find gluten-free food to manage our growing list of allergies, and make sure they have the specific brand of the milk we buy.

Car mechanics allow us to reach our appointments on time and make it to our children’s concerts. Teachers feed hungry young minds, encouraging and inspiring the next generation, coming in before school or staying late to will students across another academic finish line. Beyond offering the welcoming smile at many companies, receptionists wear numerous hats, directing traffic through offices, sending phone calls to the right extension, and knowing how to find anything and everything. When we maneuver through the purchase of a home, the establishment of a will or the adoption of the newest member of our family, lawyers guide us through each process, becoming advocates for our interests and close confidants. In the wee hours of the morning, bakers start the process of creating scones, heating up coffee and mixing the batter for birthday cakes. Truck drivers spend hours on the road, carting all manner of goods, bringing foods or marble we have to have on our kitchen counters. Ferry workers usher us back and forth on

the Long Island Sound to visit family, to take ski trips, to return to college, or to visit sites in Connecticut and farther north. Plumbers, electricians and structural engineers make sure our homes and offices operate smoothly, preventing a leak from becoming a flood, a spark from becoming a fire or a weak wall from becoming an accident site. Driven by the desire to inform and to beat the competition, journalists search for news that offers valuable information. Entertainers of all stripes keep us laughing, allow us to relate to people from other places or times — or take us on fantastic journeys to places in their minds. Politicians represent our interests, debating and hopefully instituting the best policies for the rest of us. Numerous others, whose professions didn’t make it into this space, also help our communities function. While Labor Day is a chance to say “goodbye” to summer, it presents an opportunity to appreciate the hard work everyone performs.

People can’t do what they did physically when they were young. Parents die but you move on. Colleagues forget the favors you did. The race to achieve slows. But true friends are always there, no matter how long or how many miles away they are. A friend is never more distant than the reach of a need, intervening in your favor, waiting for you with open arms and in some way blessing your life. When we started this adventure called life, we did not know of the incredible joys or sorrows that were ahead. We did not know how much we would need from each other. Love your parents, take care of your family, but keep a group of good friends. Stay in touch with them. [Tell this to] your friends — even those you seldom see — who help make sense of your life. (End)

of the details already. They have aged along with us and can laugh at the same incongruities and absurdities that are specific to our generation. We can compare our satisfactions as well as our aches and pains, and share the advice and names of our physicians and our medicines. As we are reduced in stature, we are reduced together so the same relative heights hold and we continue on unperturbed. Most satisfying is the shared wisdom that has come from living a substantial number of years. We can comfort each other as we laugh about the difficulties and perceived difficulties in our lives, and we never need to feel embarrassed about our thoughts or our hang-ups. The most painful part comes with the inevitable loss of close friends. They are irreplaceable and their absence leaves a hole in our lives and our hearts. “I’m only going to befriend younger people I meet,” we declare. The same for our doctors and dentists, who have the temerity to retire or die. So to my dear friends — and yes, those professionals who keep me together — just know how I treasure you.

A thank you card to my friends

ummer is about to end, and with it the most mellow time of the year. I’d like to leave this season with a gentle and accurate message that came from the internet and resonates with me: A newlywed young man was sitting on the porch on a humid day, sipping ice tea with his father. As he talked about adult life, marriage responsibilities and obligations, the father thoughtfully stirred the ice cubes in his glass and cast a clear, Between sober look on his you and me son. “Never forget BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF your friends,” he advised, “they will become more important as you get older. Regardless of how much you love your family, you will always need friends. Remember to

go out with them occasionally — if possible — but keep in contact with them somehow.” “What strange advice!” thought the young man. “I just entered the married world. I am an adult and surely my wife and the family that we will start will be everything I need to make sense of my life.” Yet he obeyed his father, kept in touch with his friends and annually increased their number. Over the years, he became aware that his father knew what he was talking about. Inasmuch as time and nature carry out their designs and mysteries on a person, friends are the bulwarks of our life. After 70-plus years of life, here is what he, and you, and I will have learned: Time passes. Life goes on. Children grow up. They cease to be children and become independent. And to the parents, it breaks their hearts but the children are separated from the parents because they begin their own families. Jobs/careers come and go. Illusions, desires, attraction, sex … weaken.
