Town Stamp sought to honor 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote The image of Huntington suffragist Ida Bunce Sammis may soon be traveling across the nation as the face of a postage stamp. U.S. Representative Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) backed by members of the Long Island Women’s Suffrage Association called for the United State Postal Service’s Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee to consider putting out a commemorative stamp honoring the upcoming 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote in federal elections. “It’s really important we recognize women voting, as it’s something we all take for granted,” Suozzi said. “This year, more women than ever are running for political office in the United States of America for Congress. It’s really remarkable.” New York was a leader in the women’s suffrage movement as it granted women the right to vote in local and state elections Nov. 6, 1917, three years prior to national passage of the 19th Amendment, according to Suozzi. Huntington resident Sammis was a well-known suffragist who hosted meetings and rallies promoting women’s right to vote outside her home at 70 Main Street, according to Toby Kissam, treasurer of the Huntington Historical Society. Sammis became one of the first two women to be elected to

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, third from right, is joined Nov. 5 by members of the Long Island Women’s Suffragist Association and Huntington Historical Society in calling for a postal stamp to commemorate the 19th Amendment on the steps of Ida Bunce Sammis’ former home.

the New York State Assembly in a “landslide victory” the following year, Nov. 5, 1918, alongside Mary Lilly, of New York City. “Ida Bunce Sammis is one of the most influential women on Long island,” said Antonia Petrash, president and founder of the LI Women’s Suffrage Association. “We’re very proud of her.”

Sammis managed to get 10 of the 14 pieces of legislation she proposed passed during her single term in the state Assembly, according to Suozzi. During his research, the congressman said he also discovered a little-known story that alleges when the female legislator was given a brass spittoon when entering office, as was

issued to each member of the state Assembly at the time, she polished it and turned it into a flower vase. In honor of Sammis and famous suffragists, such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Suozzi requested a postage stamp recognizing the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment’s passage be issued in 2020. “A commemorative stamp honoring the centennial anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment would honor all of the pioneers of the women’s suffrage movement and inspire us to rededicate ourselves to equality,” reads the Nov. 5 letter sent to the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee. The federal committee meets quarterly throughout the year to accept and recommend ideas for postage stamps “that celebrate the American experience,” according to its website. All suggestions are weighed based on 11 criteria that include whether the subject had a significant and positive impact on American history, culture, or life and events of historical significance are eligible to be considered on anniversaries in multiples of 100 years. On a local level, Kissam said there will be a blue-and-yellow historical marker erected in the upcoming weeks outside Sammis’ former home to mark the location and serve as a reminder to future generations.

Reichert Foundation donates $1M to Nissequogue River State Park A Fort Salonga philanthropist hopes if he can help to build central infrastructure of a park, others will come and help out. Charlie Reichert, owner of IGA Supermarkets, will donate $1 million to New York State Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation through his nonprofit, Charles and Helen Reichert Family Foundation, for complete renovation of the Nissequogue River State Park’s administrative offices. He ceremoniously handed the first check to Wayne Horsley, Long Island’s regional director of state parks, Nov. 2. “I am hoping this donation jump starts the park, that we can really get going,” Reichert said. “If people see that a private citizen is putting money into the park, maybe there will be other private citizens or corporations to put money into the park and get things going.” The Fort Salonga resident said he envisions the park as a green space where, one day, there could be sports fields and concerts for residents’ recreation. His donation will kick-start a makeover of the central building. Brian Foley, deputy regional director of the Long Island region for the state’s park system, said

the $1 million donation will be used to completely overhaul the interior of the former World War I-era veterans memorial hospital. The first floor’s central waiting area will be enlarged and built to accommodate additional educational display cases, with reconstruction of the existing meeting hall and children’s playroom. The women’s and men’s bathrooms will be updated with the new addition of a family bathroom stall, according to Foley.

Enjoy private shopping experience before the holidays

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.

“This money will bring us a long way to making this into a public building that everyone can be proud of,” Horsley said. Currently, the state is replacing the administrative building’s roof and straightening out the cupola, according to Horsley. Construction equipment is parked outside Building 40, on the former childcare center on the north side of the park’s main entrance, to begin abatement of the structure to make way for a new 25,000-squarefoot headquarters for the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation’s Division of Marine Resource. Horsley said he expects the building to be torn down this winter into early spring 2019. “We are in this together to make this a premiere park in the state’s park system,” Horsley said. “As we all know, we have a long way to go, but we are well on our way.” John McQuaid, president of the Nissequogue River State Park, and Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) said Charlie Reichert’s support through his foundation has been invaluable over the years as it also sponsors the spring and fall runs that raise funds for the park. “This community is forever indebted to you, the state is forever indebted to you because you have changed the course of history,” Trotta said.

“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. For more information contact Costello by phone 516-909-5171 or by email at ec@ tbrnewsmedia.com.

“The first floor will be and stay almost exclusively devoted to the public,” he said. “That is the prime purpose of state parks.” The second floor of the building will be made into office space for state park employees onsite, according to Foley. Storage space will continue to be available for the Nissequogue River State Park Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose aim is to enhance and beautify the park.

Tom Suozzi (D) 57.14 percent

Jim Gaughran (D) 53.23 percent

2nd Senate District

10th Assembly District KYLE BARR

The Democratic Party found Election Day success at both the national and local levels, winning enough Congressional races to flip the U.S. House of Representatives away from Republican control in addition to grabbing the majority in the state Senate. Incumbent 3rd Congressional District U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) secured 57 percent of the vote against Republican challenger Dan DeBono for another term. He will begin his next term as part of the new House majority. “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!” Suozzi posted on his campaign’s Facebook page. “It is an honor to serve.” In New York, the long-billed “blue wave” also hit the state Senate where five Democratic challengers successfully unseated incumbents and three more won open seats, to create a new Democratic majority. The flip will put all three houses of the state government in the hands of the same party beginning in January 2019. Democratic challenger Jim Gaughran, of Northport, was among the five party successes by unseating incumbent state Sen. Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset) in the 5th Senate District. Gaughran won by approximately 14,000 votes, receiving 53 percent of the total ballots cast. “I’m just overwhelmed with the number of volunteers that came in and worked to help my campaign, it really made the difference” he said. “I’m so grateful to the people of Nassau and Suffolk counties for giving me the opportunity to represent them.” The victory shows a significant change since the 2016 election, in which Gaughran had previously run unsuccessfully against Marcellino for the seat, losing by a narrow margin of roughly 2,000 votes. The Democrat said he believed increased political awareness of the issues on a statewide level and media coverage contributed to his 2018 midterm success. “I think this year people focused more on the state Senate,” Gaughran said. “The Republican majority not allowing votes on measures such as Red Flag Bill for gun safety, saw the need for change. They wanted to start to move forward.” Marcellino could not be reached for comment by press time Nov. 7. The Democrat did offer kind words to his opponent. “I think Sen. Marcellino should be congratulated for his 23 years of dedicated service to the people of his district,” he said.

New York state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) won re-election to the 2nd District and will continue his more than 30-year tenure, 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 posted on her campaign’s Facebook page. In the state Assembly, Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills) has been elected to his first full-term in office representing the 10th District receiving 57 percent of the vote against first-time Republican challenger Jeremy Williams, of Huntington Station. His win puts the seat solidly in Democratic Party control, as the district was previously a Republican stronghold for more than 30 years until Stern’s historic win in the April special election against candidate Janet Smitelli. Stern could not be reached for comment prior to press time. State Assemblyman Andrew Raia (R-East Northport) has been re-elected to his ninth term representing the constituents of the 12th Assembly District over Democratic challenger Avrum Rosen, of Centerport. Raia previously told TBR News Media, if re-elected, he planned to reintroduce state legislation he co-sponsored this year relating to the Long Island Power Authority’s tax certiorari case against the Town of Huntington. The bill would have allowed the town to spread out any tax rate changes over a 15-year period and granted access to state funds to stabilize taxes, but never made it to the floor for a vote. In the Town of Huntington, Councilwoman Joan Cergol (D) was elected to serve as a town council member over Republican challenger James Leonick as she received approximately 53 percent of the vote. “Thank you, Huntington voters, for showing your faith in me and electing me as your councilwoman,” Cergol posted on her Facebook page Wednesday morning. “It was thrilling to watch your votes come in. Together, we did this!” Leonick could not be reached for comment prior to press time. Reporting contributed by Kyle Barr and Rita J. Egan.

Uber driver arrested in Cold Spring Harbor teen’s death

A Huntington Station Uber driver has been arrested and charged for actions allegedly leading to the death of a 15-year-old Cold Spring Harbor teen. Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) announced that Danyal Cheema, 24, was arrested by Suffolk County police officers Nov. 4 and faces a felony charge of second-degree manslaughter. Cheema allegedly allowed a passenger to ride on the roof of his vehicle Sept. 23 while operating as an Uber driver, according to the district attorney. The teen fell off, striking his head on the roadway, and died as result of the injuries. “In this day and age, we often encourage people to use ride sharing services because it’s a safe alternative to drinking and driving,” Sini said. “These boys were doing that; they were drinking that night and they made the right decision to contract with a car service. Unfortunately the defendant made a reckless decision and engaged in reckless conduct that caused the death of a young boy, and he will be held accountable for that.” On Sept. 23, between 12:03 a.m. and 12:35 a.m., Cheema was driving his 2010 Toyota Highlander around Huntington Station operating as a driver for Uber, when he picked up three teenage boys, according to police. The teenage passengers asked Cheema for permission to “car surf,” or ride on the roof of the vehicle as it was moving, and offered him $70 cash. The trio allegedly paid Cheema $40 after which he allowed them to climb onto the roof of the vehicle at an intersection, according to police. Two of the passengers, including 15-year-old Ryan Mullen, of Cold Spring Harbor, road on the roof while Cheema drove down Cove Road in Huntington. Mullen fell off the vehicle and struck his head on the roadway. A video of the incident was recorded by the third passenger on Snapchat. “We have a culture right now where the mindset is, ‘How can we outdo each other?’ particularly among young people on social media, and we often see the tragic consequences

of that,” Sini said. “A lot of young people think they are invincible and that’s something we need to keep drilling in their heads that this could happen to anyone when you engage in this kind of conduct. At the same time, we also need to hold adults accountable when they’re part of the problem, and in this case the defendant was directly responsible.” Police said that Cheema continued on to drive the three teens to their destination, a Huntington residence. Mullen died of his head injuries later that day. Cheema is being held in lieu of $200,000 cash or $400,000 bail bond as of Nov. 7, and his license has been suspended by Suffolk County District Court Judge Jennifer Henry. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of five to 15 years in prison. Mullen was a student at St. Anthony’s High School in Melville. He is survived by his parents Janice and Matthew, and his sister, Nicole, according to an obituary published by M.A. Connell Funeral Home in Huntington.

Mooch fires missives, promotes new book in Huntington Former albeit short-term White House employee tells all in exclusive TBR interview

Anthony Scaramucci, the one-time White House communications director and Port Washington native, swirled through the Trump administration like a tornado during his 11-day tenure in 2017. Though if there’s any specific reason he didn’t last as long as he would have liked to, he said it’s because he tells it like it is. “I’m not the type of person well suited for Washington — I’m honest,” Scaramucci said in an exclusive interview with TBR News Media Nov. 4. “I’m not going to spin like that, I told [President Donald Trump (R)] that.” Scaramucci traveled back to the vicinity of his old stomping grounds to promote his new book, “Trump: The Blue-Collar President” for a book-signing event at Book Revue in Huntington Sunday. Local residents asked questions about Scaramucci the man, but many were especially keen on hearing about his time and experience with the 45th president of the United States. Scaramucci was in the White House from July 21 through 31, 2017, though before he was fired the man known widely as “The Mooch” stunned media correspondents with his uproarious Wall Street financier’s attitude, unafraid of using language not usually seen on air, let alone from the federal government’s top spokesperson. It was that lack of a filter that likely cost him his job, after talking to The New Yorker magazine reporter Ryan Lizza and saying on the record, “I’m not [former White House Chief Strategist] Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own [expletive].”

KYLE BARR

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Above, former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci promotes his new book at Book Revue in Huntington before a crowd which included Trump critics as well as supporters, like James Johnson, below, sporting a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.

Though the former communications director said he owns up to the mistake, that bluster likely brought more than 100 people, both Trump supporters and critics, to Book Revue to ask questions about his experience with Trump, who he said he’s known for more than 20 years. The author said there is a strategy behind Trump’s consistent attacks on news media. Scaramucci said the president aims to keep the media in disarray for the purpose of galvanizing his base, which seems to enjoy the constant onslaught. “He is using the bombast as a firecracker to throw into the crowd of the media,” he said. “He tells a lie, a mistruth or creates puffery, they’re going to self-immolate on the air — they will be all upset — while his base is laughing at them. They’ve made themselves part of the story while he’s trying to galvanize that base.” Though Scaramucci’s advice to Trump is to dial back the attacks, the author said at least enough to make the nation’s overall political discourse less volatile. “If you could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and still get votes, as you once said, why not try being nice for two weeks?” he said he told Trump. “The president has a very unique personality, and the market price is in, he’s going to say a lot of cuckoo, la-la things. The people who are replicating his strategy are having a hard time. You cannot beat the president on the

field he’s playing.” While Scaramucci said he had asked Trump to dial it back at some points, Huntington Village resident Dominick “Dominooch” Mavellia asked why he should when it was precisely that personality that won him the presidency. “There’s a huge transitional opportunity for him to keep his base in check and appeal to the center … he’s going to need to secure re-election,” Scaramucci said, responding to Mavellia. “I don’t think he can recreate that map he created in 2016 because [the opposition] has now adapted and pivoted. If he calms it down a little, just moving it down to fourth gear from fifth, still being aggressive on the media, pushing the message toward the middle, and getting those independents he will win a resounding re-election.” Scaramucci, a former Goldman Sachs banker and founder of the investment firm SkyBridge Capital, is not the first ex-White House official to scribe a book about the experience of working for the 45th president. Omarosa Manigault Newman, former assistant to the president, published “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House” in August, calling Trump a “racist” and saying he was losing much of his cognitive ability. The author of this latest book on Trump said while he was originally approached to write a book just after he was pushed out of office, those

publishing firms were looking for a tell-all book similar to what Manigault would later write. He was approached by another — conservative — political book publisher, Center Street, which he said published the book to coincide with the midterm elections Nov. 6. “I wanted to write about what Bannon’s like as a guy, what [White House Chief of Staff John] Kelly is like as a guy,” Scaramucci said. “[Trump’s] surrounded by cockroaches, and they all want to survive him. They think they’re going to be there forever.” Scaramucci said half the book examines Trump’s electoral win as he witnessed it with the future president on the campaign trail in 2016. The author pointed to battleground states like Wisconsin — that then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been criticized for neglecting to campaign in and where Trump made several trips — as the path to his electoral success. The other half of the book goes into his short time spent in the White House, lambasting the people he called “snakes,” who he blamed for pushing him out of his position. “I got an 11-day Ph.D. in Washington scumbaggery, and as bad as people thought it was it all was, it’s way worse,” he said. “There’s an opportunity here for real people to enter into the system and break the corpocracy that’s strangling Washington … though we might not be able to break it.”

Perspective

Armistice Day and its aftereffects around the world “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

Celebrations to honor soldiers weren’t the only results after World War I. Some empires had fallen while others suffered financially and a few were united.

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 Czecho-Slovakia. 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 SykesPicot 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 armscontrol 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-the-art 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 Brest-Litovsk, 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.

North Shore synagogues celebrate Israel against backdrop of Pittsburgh

ALEX PETROSKI

“We do whatever it takes to make families comfortable.” Our neighbors know we always go the extra mile, providing options they can’t find elsewhere. We’re continually adding new, unique services and team members - like Kota! Kota is the first certified grief therapy dog in the area. He’s trained to detect human emotion and put people at ease. Research shows animals reduce anxiety and can aid in the grief process. Kota’s presence is one more way we make a difference for families.

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.

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.

Serving the community

Seven current and past members of Norwood Avenue Elementary School’s service club, the “O Ambassadors,” volunteered at Project HOPE on Oct. 28. Project HOPE is a community ministry founded by the youth of St. Hugh’s Parish to help those in need in the surrounding Huntington area. This free meal center offers food to anyone in need, with no questions asked. “We look to motivate and educate our students on becoming active global citizens,” said club adviser Nicole Barbier. “We want our students to recognize that, in order to make the world a better place, taking action is necessary!”

The Houses of Hogwarts

Norwood students Madeline Mandel, Reidyn Vincent, Gabriela Scalia; Northport Middle School students Lily Nye, Ayesha Molano, Mary Breckling, and Anna Mandel; and club supervisors Barbier and Jessica Huebsch freely gave up their Sunday night to help those in need. In addition to setting tables and cleaning up after the meal, the students prepared and served food to the 138 guests in attendance, and spent time chatting with them. “We are so very proud of our students for their community service and level of maturity,” said Principal Michael Genovese.

ELWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT

The world of Harry Potter came to life at Elwood Middle School as the library was transformed into a miniature Hogwarts during the week of Oct. 22. The entrance, covered in brick wallpaper and dubbed “Platform 9 ¾,” welcomed students during their lunch periods to come in and take part in activities that are found in the ever-popular Harry Potter series. On Monday, students were sorted into one the four different “houses” of Hogwarts — Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slythern. Throughout the week, students had the opportunity to create their own wands, chanting spells such as the famous Hermione Granger’s “Wingardium Leviosa,” play a Muggle-version of Quidditch, and challenge each other’s literature knowledge in competitive trivia. Librarian Mrs. Donna Fife organized this week in honor of the book series’ 20th anniversary, but also in an effort to continually keep creating activities and experiences to engage students in new ways. “The more the library is viewed as a socially engaging place,” Mrs. Fife said, “the more likely students will come and engage with the materials and resources within it.”

Nature with a story to tell

157756

Bellerose Avenue Elementary School in the Northport-East Northport School District wrapped up October, a month spent focused on health and wellness, with a day of exploring and interacting with nature on Nov. 1. Volunteers from the Town of Huntington and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) visited the school to guide classes through trails behind the school grounds, explaining the significance behind elements of nature they’re accustomed to seeing like shelf fungus on decaying trees, glacial erratics, sassafras trees and more. This hike was meant to be held in honor of

National Public Lands Day, but had been postponed due to previous weather conditions. Prior to the event, students were taught to create and use science field guides, which they carried with them throughout the day. “Beyond the experience of hiking, we’re trying to teach students who nature changes over time — that every living thing affects the other things around it,” said DEC representative Ron Galardi, “and how things that die create a better future for the things to come. We’re trying to show them the bigger picture, that everything around them has a story to tell.”

Tigers eliminated from playoffs by Commack Cougars, 0-3 The Northport girls varsity volleyball team’s chance at a Suffolk County title was cut short by the Commack Cougars, who beat them 0-3 Nov. 6. The Tigers finished their 2018 season with an 11-1 record in League II play, which won them the division title. Pictured, clockwise from top left: libero Katie Kullack digs deep defensively; Sydnie

Opinion

Editorial

Let’s keep engaging

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.

Letters to the editor

Thank you, 12th Assembly District voters To voters of the 12th Assembly District: I want to take this opportunity to thank the voters of the state’s 12th Assembly District for their support in this past election. While I was not successful, I am proud of the race we ran and I am delighted with the many new friends I made throughout the district and beyond. The results were the narrowest victory Andrew Raia has had in nine elections, and I believe he had to move

dramatically toward the center to retain his seat. I trust he will stay there. I also want to thank my opponent for the race he ran. People say politics has become too personal and acrimonious. Well, not in our race. We disagreed without being disagreeable and set an example for the other candidates on the ticket. We actually like one another. Ultimately, it is the voters that set the

tone for the political discourse by rewarding the behaviors they want to see in their elected officials. I entered this race to give the voters of this district a real choice for this election, and in that I believe I succeeded. Thank you. Avrum Rosen Centerport 12th AD candidate

Remembering where we came from

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

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.

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.
