COUNTY

Violent crime, overdoses down; drug seizures up so far in ‘18 Suffolk County is off to a safer start in 2018. Violent crime, drug overdoses and fatal motor vehicle crashes are all trending in the right direction in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same time period last year, according to data announced April 4 by then Suffolk County Police Department Acting Commissioner Stuart Cameron. Geraldine Hart, Suffolk County’s first female police commissioner, took the helm and officially began her tenure, according to county Executive Steve Bellone (D). Homicides, rape, robbery and aggravated assault combined, dropped almost 19 percent when comparing the first three months of 2018 to the same period in 2017, according to the department. During the first quarter of 2017, 17 people were injured or killed by gunfire in Suffolk County. Nine people have been injured or killed by gunfire in 2018 so far, representing a 47 percent decrease. Drug overdoses during that time period have also dropped 42 percent, according to SCPD, citing a 25 percent increase in narcotics-related search warrants so far in 2018. During those searches, detectives

arrested 155 people and seized 43 guns, police said. In 2018, 871 grams of heroin have been seized in Suffolk County and 3,732 grams of cocaine, representing 189 percent and 724 percent increases respectively compared to January through March 2017. “The statistics in the first quarter of 2018 show impressive results which are reflective of the hard work done by the men and women of this department,” Cameron said, adding that the encouraging statistics also came despite a 17 percent reduction in overtime costs. Bellone was complimentary of the SCPD in light of the announcement of the statistics. “Once again, the hard work of the men and women of the SCPD has led to the lowest levels of crime in recorded history,” he said. “Not only does this reaffirm that our crimefighting strategies are working, we are doing this in the most cost-effective way possible.” Despite the positive countywide signs related to violent crimes, the 6th Precinct is not yet enjoying such a trend in 2018. This year to date, 36 violent crimes have occurred, compared to 31 in 2017’s first quarter. Specifically, more aggravated assaults and robberies have been committed in 2018 than in 2017. Cameron also touted a 25 percent first quarter decrease in fatal motor vehicle crashes

and an 11 percent reduction in crashes resulting in injuries. “These results reflect the department’s increased focus on traffic enforcement, the incorporation of an effective intelligence-driven

model to traffic enforcement and the department’s new Alarm Management Program, which has freed up patrol time to allow for increased enforcement,” a press release from the department said.

DONATE LIFE continued from page A3 the hospital’s platelets are purchased from the Red Cross. Over 10 years, Eaton donated more than 100 times, according to Pugliese. “Without them we couldn’t function,” said Dr. Dennis Galanakis, director of transfusion medicine at Stony Brook Hospital. “The problem with platelets is they have to be stored in a special way. They have to have all the tests that are required for safety. They only have a five-day shelf life, and it takes two days to do all the tests, so in practice, the shelf life is about three days.” Verbeck was a blood donor before he heard about platelets, and while at first he said he was skeptical, that changed when a friend of his was diagnosed with cancer. “I started doing it, and just like my dad, I felt it was a good thing to do,” he said. “I was

doing it five or six times a year. After my dad died, it was a loss, and not just my personal loss, but it was a loss with their supply — it was one less person donating. So that gave me the impetus.” The entire platelet donation process takes about two hours. Machines take half a cup of blood through one vein and process it to remove platelets before returning the blood through another vein. April is National Donate Life Month, so to join Verbeck in his quest to feed the blood banks, potential donors can call Stony Brook Hospital at 631-444-3662 or find out more online at www.stonybrookmedecine.edu and to schedule an appointment. “Only a small number of people donate at any given time,” Galanakis said. “I understand people have their lives, they have their problems and not everyone can sacrifice their time, but if everybody donated a few times a year, we wouldn’t be so tight.”

New York’s primaries are only open to registered members of the applicable political party.

Editorial comment

Kate Browning

Browning is the former 3rd District Suffolk County legislator, a position she held beginning in 2005 before being term limited out of office. She was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, before moving to Germany at 19 years old and eventually landing in Shirley with her husband Steve in 1989. The mother of three was a bus driver in the William Floyd School District prior to taking office. “Our district deserves a representative that is going to fight for working families in Suffolk County,” Browning says in a section of her website entitled “Why I’m running,” while also touting her ability to work across the political aisle. “I’ve focused on quality of life issues, rehabilitating foreclosed zombie homes and selling them to first-time home buyers, keeping them away from speculators and absentee landlords. And I’ve secured funding for clean water infrastructure to protect our drinking water and our shorelines.”

Elaine DiMasi

DiMasi, a political newcomer, was a federal contractor for over 20 years in addition to more than two decades of experience as a project manager and physicist at Brookhaven National Lab. She describes herself as an environmentalist, with firsthand knowledge about the potential to jump-start the local economy while safeguarding the environment through the establishment of clean energy jobs. “I dare to believe in a government that cares for all its people equally, is responsive to them and their concerns,” she says on her campaign website. “An American future that values equality for its people that opens doors of opportunity for all. An America that leads by example through its laws and practices to ensure the dignity, well-being, and freedom of all people.”

Perry Gershon

Gershon wastes no time in his personal bio on his campaign website declaring he’s a businessman, and not a career politician, having

spent more than 25 years in commercial real estate finance. The first-time runner for office says his decision to leave the private sector and seek political office is a byproduct of outrage at the state of politics in Washington, D.C. He points to his entrepreneurial spirit and ability to build consensus among diverse parties as evidence of his qualifications to represent NY1. “I’m fed up,” he says on his campaign website as to why he’s running. “It’s time Long Island had a strong voice to fight for high-paying jobs, affordable health care, high-quality education and clean air and water. Rather than stand by as Donald Trump and Washington politicians try to divide us, we can rebuild the middle class.” Gershon and his wife Lisa have two sons and live on the South Fork.

David Pechefsky

Pechefsky has extensive experience in government despite never holding elected office. The 1986 valedictorian at PatchogueMedford High School has held various positions in government and politics during the last 20 years, including as a longtime staffer for the New York City Council, as well as a consultant for the National Democratic Institute from 2010-13. There, he worked to establish a legislative budget office to serve the Congress of Liberia. He also managed a U.S. government-funded program to strengthen the parliament of Somalia. He’s on leave from his current job as a senior adviser with Generation Citizen, a nonprofit with the goal of fostering civic engagement. “I am running for Congress because we need to put in place policies that make our economy work for everyone, not just the wealthy,” he says on his website. “I’ve spent my career working in government here in America and as an adviser to governments around the world and know how government can and should work to make things better for all us.”

Vivian Viloria-Fisher

Viloria-Fisher was also a Suffolk County legislator, serving the 5th District 13 years beginning in 1999. She was born in the Dominican Republic before moving to New York as a child. She was as a Spanish teacher in Three Village school district for 12 years. “As your representative, I will: fight for a national living wage; support job growth in sustainable energy and medical research industries; reinstate tax deductions for workers and students,” she says on her website, among other legislative priorities. She touts her work on expanding public transportation services, creating a Welfare-to-Work commission in the county and her support for marriage equality prior to its legalization in New York among her proudest accomplishments. Check TBR News Media in print and online for coverage of both the primary and general election in the coming weeks and months. All information about the candidates is from the Suffolk County Democratic Committee website or the candidates’ campaign sites.

OPINION Editorial

The Democratic primary election will be June 26.

Don’t dilute the party When it comes to having options to choose from, sometimes less is more. As of April 12, the Democratic nominees to run against 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) have dwindled down to five from seven. While it’s nice to see new and old faces throwing their hats into the political ring — for which we wholeheartedly commend them — a five-way race in the Democratic primary could create a situation in which voters are overloaded with information and less prepared to cast the vote that makes the most sense for them and the district as a whole come November. With some signs of internal fighting going on between the candidates already, it’s not a leap to think the longer five people are alive in the race the muddier the ideologies of the party locally will get, similarly to the way the 2016 presidential primary featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) and Hillary Clinton played out, but moreso. Condensing the nominees would show unification within the “party and a clearer focus come Election Day, which regardless of party should be a priority for voters on both sides seeking relevant personal representation in the federal government. While we understand following the November 2016 election of President Donald Trump (R) and locally with Zeldin that those on the other side are vocal and motivated, it would be a mistake to allow infighting to harm the eventual primary winner’s chances in the general. If those running can engage in substantive policy discussions about how they differ and how they are the same, an admittedly near-impossible task with five candidates, ultimate party unification and digestible information for those heading to the polls would likely be the byproduct, and that is a good thing for everyone in New York’s 1st Congressional District, party be damned. If Democrats cannot find a way to do this, it will be to their ultimate detriment, as they can rest assured the Republican party will undoubtedly rally behind its candidate well before November. A five-legged beast proved to be a challenge for Harry Potter, and a five-headed one on primary day could be just as scary for voters.

Letters to the editor

Stand up for teachers fighting back Every child, regardless of where they grow up or how much their parents make, should be able receive a quality public school education. But in Republican-controlled states, an anti-union, anti-worker agenda has failed our public schools, our teachers and our students. From the local to the national level, we should be investing in our future by supporting our schools and teachers. Instead, Republicans have cut public school funding, leaving schools with damaged facilities, out-of-date textbooks, obsolete technology and declining pay for teachers. And students have been forced to deal with the results. But in this new age of activism, teachers are stepping up and fighting back. And it is their labor union that is on the forefront for positive change. When the Republicancontrolled state government in West Virginia refused to offer teachers competitive compensation, teachers put their foot down and went on strike, eventually winning a 5 percent raise. They proved that teachers’ unions can win, even in the reddest states. And it’s not just West Virginia. In red states across the country — Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arizona, and Indiana — teachers are saying enough is enough and

going on or planning to strike to stand up for better compensation and resources. Brave teachers show how important it is to support public schools, teachers and students. Teachers, and teachers’ unions, know what’s best for their students. Public schools are the bedrock of American education and must be fully funded, with cutting-edge technology, modern facilities and updated textbooks. Teachers are the core of public schools and governments must listen to them. The influence teachers have on our children’s future means that public schools need to offer competitive salaries. Federal, state and local governments should commit to raising teachers’ salaries to match the value they give our kids. Locally in Suffolk County, we must stop the focus on test scores, which drains money from the system in high poverty areas — nobody knows this better than our teachers and their union. The strikes call attention to our need to act, but also show the importance of unions. It was the union that organized and brought attention to these issues. Without unions, these problems would continue to go unaddressed. Unions are a critical component of our economy and middle class, now more than ever.

In Suffolk County, we know the value of well-funded public schools, top-quality teachers and an enriching educational environment, and deserve representatives who will support these promises we make to our students and teachers. We must continue to emphasize the importance of teachers as decision makers in policy. But now, in Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), we have a loyal member of a Republican Party that has cut teacher salaries, cut school funding and supports the voucherization of public schools. That’s why we need to vote him out of office and turn Suffolk County blue. Democrats stand up for organized labor and the middle class. While Republicans have the wrong priorities, Democrats will continue to fight for teachers and students. We need to close the achievement gap and equip all students with skills needed to succeed in our 21st century economy. In Congress, I’ll put teachers and students first by fully funding our public schools, reducing class sizes, ensuring students have the resources needed for learning and retaining our best teachers in the profession.

Perry Gershon Candidate U.S. Rep. 1st District

Rep. Zeldin’s bill to help big banks On Apr. 11, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 4293, the deceptively named Stress Test Improvement Act of 2017, introduced by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley). What this bill actually does is weaken key protections of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which is designed to prevent another financial meltdown like the one in 2008. The Dodd-Frank stress test measures a bank’s financial soundness and ability to survive a downturn in the economy without collapsing. It’s conducted by the Federal Reserve and based on data provided by the bank. Currently, banks are subjected to stress testing twice a year, using three different scenarios, and taking into account a bank’s internal controls, i.e., data analysis and

risk management practices. Zeldin’s bill weakens all these factors. Instead of twice, stress testing would be conducted only once a year. Instead of three scenarios, there would be only two and consideration of a bank’s internal controls is eliminated entirely. As the 2008 meltdown revealed, banks had sloppy or nonexistent internal controls preventing them from understanding the worthlessness of the toxic assets carried on their books. Some of these banks collapsed. In his press release touting his bill, Zeldin speaks of community banks and “hardworking men and women.” In reality, DoddFrank stress testing applies only to financial institutions with $50 billion or more on their balance sheet — in other words, the biggest 30 to 40 banks in the country like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and

Goldman Sachs. It has nothing to do with community banks. The real beneficiaries of this bill are big Wall Street banks, not “hardworking men and women.” In fact, the Federal Reserve has already removed the requirement regarding internal controls from banks with balance sheets of less than $250 billion. That means only the 15 largest banks in the country will benefit from this key section of Zeldin’s bill. My question to Zeldin is: Why are you spending so much time and effort on helping Wall Street megabanks, which collectively made more than $170 billion in profits in 2016, instead of on the problems of the real “hardworking men and women” of your district?

OPINION LEAH DUNAIEF

Waiting on spring

A handful of birds and a turle sit on a floating log in Setauket Duck Pond.

A standardized test for expectant parents

friend recently told me she’s pregnant with her first child. She sounded thrilled and anxious. She is, as I’ve known for years, incredibly organized and efficient. She has been a standout in her job for several years. “What’s the concern?” I asked. “Everything,” she giggled. As my children take one standardized test after another, I thought perhaps I would share a test-format version of what to expect when you’re expecting. No. 2 pencils By Daniel Dunaief ready? OK, let’s begin: Question 1: Before the baby is born, you should: a. Panic buy everything, including a crib and six months worth of food and clothing. You never know if you’ll be trapped in your house without access to the outside world. b. Sleep as much as you can because the days of sleeping at your leisure are over. c. Read everything you can about

D. None of the above

parenting and the delivery, and then realize that every process, including childbirth, can go off script. d. Don’t tell anyone because people will write about you. Question 2: When people give you advice, you should: a. Write everything down because friends, family and strangers always know better and will enlighten you with wisdom that far exceeds that which you’d get on a fortune cookie. b. Nod politely, say, “That’s a great idea,” and wonder what to eat for dinner. c. Pretend your phone is ringing. d. Ask them how many Nobel prizes their children have won. Question 3: Taking Lamaze classes can be helpful because: a. It allows you to meet parents who are older than you. b. It allows you to practice breathing together because sometimes parents forget to breathe. c. It’s so relaxing that you can doze off without punishment. d. It gives you a sense of control that you’re unlikely to have in the actual moment. Question 4: People generally love other people’s children unless: a. They are sitting on a plane near them.

b. They have to do something for them. c. The children are crying constantly and they don’t know why. d. The children have dropped or broken something. Question 5: Parents can be so tired in the early stage that they forget: a. To take pictures of everything. b. To feed themselves. c. To go to the bathroom when they need to. d. To revel in a new baby smell that will change into something much more challenging to the nose within a year. Question 6: When you have a baby, it’s a great idea to: a. Change jobs. b. Move to a new city. c. Start attending a new and rigorous educational course. d. All of the above, because you’ll never have a chance to juggle more challenges at the same time than when a baby is born. Question 7: The families of the father and mother are likely to: a. Always agree on everything you should do for the child. b. Never agree on anything you should do for a child. c. See evidence of their family’s

Want everyone to bathe in Purell sanitizer before coming near your child. d. Not be like me and will relax when people sneeze across the room.

You actually go to sleep instead of passing out with Oreo cookie crumbs in your mouth. c. You and your spouse are laughing, quietly, for hours before you go to sleep. d. You can’t wait to start the next day. Question 10: Parenting is: a. Awesome. b. Terrifying. c. Exhausting. d. All of the above.

Clockwise from above, Newfield’s Joey Rubenstrunk gets the runner out at second; Centereach’s Liam Webber slides into Newfield shortstop Kyle Johnson; Newfield’s Bobby Vath fires a ball over the plate; and Centereach’s Mark Schnitzer pitches a two-run game after getting the call to start 20 minutes before game time.

Newfield takes cake over crosstown rival

BY BILL LANDON Back-to-back one-run innings put Newfield ahead to earn a 2-1 win over crosstown rival Centereach April 17. Chandler Giovinco and Dylan Johnson both hit doubles to put Newfield on the

board and tie the score in the bottom of the fourth, and Joey Rubenstrunk scored from second base off the bat of Michael Prisco on a fielder’s choice to put Newfield (8-1) ahead and earn the win in the bottom of the fifth. “We did a good job at staying poised and focused and making the plays — whenever Newfield plays Centereach things get ratcheted up a little bit,” Newfield head coach Eric Joyner said. “That’s a good team. They came in hot, they put the ball in play and that put pressure on our defense, but [fortunately] they were able to step up and make the plays.” Before the game even started things got off to a rocky start for Centereach, with the starting pitcher being scratched half an hour before the game as a result of an injury sustained during warmups. The ball was put in the hands of Mark Schnitzer, who went the distance. “I told him to focus. Stay composed and be confident — he’s a real pitcher and his mindset is, ‘I don’t care where I’m pitching, what time I’m pitching, I just want the ball,’” Centereach head coach Pete Cammarata said. “He was the best kid to go with after what happened today.” Centereach right fielder Devin Demetres started the first inning with a single to right field, then stole second before third baseman Ryan Mahnke smacked the ball through the gap on a full count to send him home. Liam Webber drew a walk for the Cougars in the top of the third, moving Demetres over to second, and shortstop Ryan DeCoursey hit a sacrifice fly to put both

runners in scoring position. With two outs, Newfield’s Giovinco tracked down a deep shot to right field, diving for the ball to come up with a catch that stranded both runners. “The wind caught that ball, but I knew I had to make that play to help my team out,” Giovinco said. The junior right fielder’s bat spoke next when he drilled the ball deep to left for a stand-up double in the bottom of the fourth. Johnson, a freshman, protected the plate before he jumped on a pitch he blasted to right field, plating Giovinco to make it a new game, 1-all. Centereach’s Demetres continued to keep himself busy, reeling in another hit to end the inning. Newfield shortstop Kyle Johnson, Dylan’s brother, was hit by a pitch and took first to load the bases in the bottom of the fifth. Prisco hit an infield ground ball for what was a double-play situation, but the throw to second base was bobbled, getting the ball to first just seconds after the runner as Rubenstrunk dashed for home plate. “Yesterday in practice we were working on getting good leads off the bag and [then sprinting],” Rubenstrunk said. “I saw the ball in play at second, so I took off for home.” The Cougars bats went back to work in the top of the seventh, but Newfield’s starting pitcher Bobby Vath still had some spark left in him, and the senior retired the side in order by working the corners. Cammarata said he now knows his team can compete with anyone, saying if one or two plays went the other way, Centereach would’ve come out on top.

“You’ve got to take your hats off to the other team,” he said. “[You put it in the past] and you move on to the next day.” Centereach hosted Newfield in the second game of the series April 18, but results were not available by press time.
