Councilmen pitch government restructure By phil corSo
Smithtown leaders are considering a shift in power. Councilmen Bob Creighton (R) and Ed Wehrheim (R) presented a proposal earlier this month to realign authority over the town’s various departments in the name of efficiency, but to mixed reviews. Under the tentative plan, Smithtown would restructure its government services by placing a commissioner at the helm of various departments, similar to operations in neighboring municipalities. Creighton presented his proposal at the March 3 town
board work session as a means of streamlining decision making and instilling greater accountability. “The benefit is that we would have a more efficient form of government,” Creighton said. “This provides more of a responsibility to one person to run three or four or five different departments. In my view, it makes it far more effective because you have a certain amount of control that you don’t have today.” In the loose proposal brought before the town board, Creighton and Wehrheim broke the government gOVeRNMeNT continued on page a9

Sport Clips Haircuts of Hauppauge teamed up with Smithtown Napper Tandy’s Pub for this year’s St. Baldrick’s Foundation event, held at Napper Tandy’s, 15 E. Main St. on Saturday. Sport Clips’ professional stylists suited up and lent their expertise to help volunteers do what they do — have their heads shaved to raise money for St. Baldrick’s. The event drew more than 300 people by the
day’s end, organizers said. As of Wednesday, almost $32,000 and counting had been raised. Donations will help fund supportive care research to improve the quality of life for patients and survivors. This research addresses the side effects of treatment, long-term effects faced by survivors, psychosocial aspects of childhood cancer and much more. — Phil Corso

Cop bounces back after double-gunshot wounds In a dramatic turnaround, a Suffolk County cop is back home just three days after being shot twice during a routine traffic stop in Huntington Station last week. Officer Mark Collins, 35, who is assigned to the 2nd Precinct Crime Section’s Gang Unit, and two other officers were in an unmarked police car when they stopped a vehicle for speeding and erratic driving on Jericho Turnpike just before midnight on Wednesday, March 11. During the stop, there were four individuals in the car police recognized as members of the Huntington Station gang Tip Top Boyz, according to Bob Clifford, a spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office. Passenger Sheldon Leftenant, 22, of Mastic Beach, allegedly fled from the vehicle on foot to Mercer Court. Clifford said Collins chased after him and tried to arrest him, when Leftenant drew a .38 caliber handgun and fired four shots at Collins. Collins was air lifted to Stony Brook University Hospital and was released on Sunday. Two of the shots hit the officer — in the neck and in the hip. Leftenant then fled again, a prosecutor said during Leftenant’s arraignment last Thursday, where Leftenant pleaded not guilty. The handgun he used was found at the scene, according to Clifford. The suspect was out on probation at the time of the shooting for a prior charge.
Leftenant was arrested early Thursday and has been charged with attempted aggravated murder of a police officer and resisting arrest. According to a complaint from the DA’s office, Leftenant said, “I didn’t want to get caught with a gun on me, so I ran.” The statement continued to read, “I had to do what I had to do. You know, I just wanted to get away.” This is not the suspect’s first run-in with the law. In August, he was shot outside a home on Tippin Avenue in Huntington Station. There has been no arrest in the case and no other information is available, according to Clifford, who claims Leftenant “refuses to speak with detectives” regarding the incident. In 2012, Leftenant was one of 11 suspects arrested in connection with a shooting outside the Lincoln Farms apartment complex in Huntington Station, Clifford said. Three men ages 16 to 22 were sitting in a Jeep Grand Cherokee in the complex when approximately one dozen males surrounded the vehicle and opened fire. The three men inside the car were injured. Leftenant pleaded guilty to a count of fourth-degree criminal facilitation and was sentenced to a year in jail and five years’ probation on Nov. 29, 2012. Collins, of North Bellmore, is well-liked and contributes to the community, according to neighbor Dianne Mofson, who spoke highly of the officer. She said he was just

recently married and his wife is named Nicole. She also said the couple does not have any children. “He is the type of person you don’t ask, he just does,” Mofson said, recalling a time when he plowed the street and Mofson’s driveway. When she heard about the shooting, Mofson and her 5-year-old grandson decided it would be good to go door to door and collect donations for the officer and his family. As of Monday, they raised $1,300. “My hands were tied, I had nothing to do and this was my way of helping,” he said.
This is the first time an officer has been seriously injured on duty this year in Suffolk County. The last time an officer was seriously injured was also in Huntington Town, and also during a traffic stop. Officer Nicholas Guerrero was struck by a hit-andrun driver in October and treated for lifethreatening injuries. Huntington Station residents on Thursday said they were outraged and scared by the shooting, as some have been working hard to combat crime in the area since the stabbing murder of 18-year-old Maggie Rosales in October.

Kings Park woman charged with DWI in head-on crash By Phil Corso
A Kings Park woman was charged with driving while intoxicated after a two-car, head-on collision killed an Island Park man near the Avalon Gardens nursing home in Smithtown early Friday morning, Suffolk County police said. Natalia Simons, 36, was behind the wheel of a 2013 Nissan Rogue, driving north on Route 25A around 12:05 a.m. when she crossed into the southbound lane and struck a 2012 Toyota Camry, cops said. The driver of the Camry, 59-year-old Larry Garwood, was pinned
in his vehicle and had to be extricated before being taken to St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. Simons was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she was being treated for her injuries. She was charged with driving while intoxicated and will be arraigned at a later date, authorities said. Attorney information for Simons was not immediately available. Detectives are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash to call the vehicular crime unit at 631-852-6555 or Crime Stoppers at 800-220-TIPS.

Kings Park parents petition board of education By BarBara Donlon
Kings Park parents are calling on their school board to take a stance on high stakes testing and make it easier for parents to opt their children out of what they describe as brutal testing. At the March 10 board of education meeting, several parents begged the school board to open up and discuss their views on high stakes testing. The board remained mum on the subject, which led the parents to band together and start a petition through their group Kings Park Advocates for Education. The petition, which is available online at www.kpae.us/ (click on the News icon for the petition), is also being distributed by hand to parents across the district. “We don’t really understand this board,” parent Bill Claps said. “As a whole they’ve been so silent.” The petition highlighted three items the parents would like the board of education to support via a resolution at the next meeting. It said they want support for their right to opt their child out of the 3-8 high stakes testing, support for alternate activities for their child during the test and easier options when it comes to opting out. As of right now, there is no online option for Kings Park parents to opt out. Instead, they must send a letter to the school. “We shouldn’t need a petition to do
the right thing, but some people need to be reminded,” Claps said of the board. Claps, along with other parents, said he was upset at the lack of discussion regarding high stakes testing. He also said he wants to see where the board stands on testing, whether they agree or disagree with it; he just wants to know. “We asked them more than once,” parent Shala Pascucci said. “Because they remained silent, this is the best recourse.” The objective of the petition is to show the board that this is a huge concern, not just for them, but many parents in the district. They also said they feel parents may fear opting out because it hasn’t been discussed. Both parents said some board members have been forthcoming regarding their stance on state tests, while others don’t return emails, and it has frustrated parents even more. Within the first 12 hours of launching the petition, Claps said they received over 100 signatures. He called it a step in the right direction. Board President Tom Locascio, along with trustees Pam DeFord and Diane Nally, did not return multiple calls for comment regarding the topic. Although the parents said they are upset with the board, they also said they are pleased with their superintendent, Timothy Eagen, for all that he does for education.
Kings Park parent Bill Claps addresses the board of education last week.
Last month the superintendent sent a letter to Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Long Island’s seven congressional leaders calling for strict reforms. “I think Dr. Eagen has been a breath of fresh air,” Claps said. The letter details the state of public education, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the No Child Left Behind Act. Eagen spoke about improved scores and graduation rates and the difficulty caused by increased mandates and decreased funding.
He said he sent the letter because he wanted to be heard, and he wanted to highlight the issues that education is currently facing. “I believe that we need to restore the profession of teaching in New York and elevate teaching as a profession rather than propagating ill designed systems of punishment and accountability,” he said in the letter. “I don’t agree 100 percent with everything, but I try to understand the perspective from all sides,” Eagen said.

OPINION
There’s nothing ‘pal’-like about Palcohol
Your turn By JAy MAtuK
As a high school principal for the past 17 years, I am deeply troubled by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau’s recent decision approving the labeling of a new form of powdered alcohol called Palcohol. This substance can be easily mixed with water or any other beverage, making it a camouflaged cocktail drink that is as easy to make as lemonade or iced tea. On so many levels, I find this decision by the manufacturer, Lipsmark LLC, to market this prod-
uct a truly disturbing one. Schools across the nation are engaged in an ongoing struggle to address the rampant alcohol and substance abuse issues that plague our communities. Each year, educational leaders and support staff must be able to identify in our students the physiological symptoms caused by the latest “designer” drugs; each year, it seems some new pharmaceutical grade substance becomes popularized in mainstream teenage culture, and before you know it, you have an epidemic on your hands. Just look at the impact that misuse of opiates has had on young adults over the past few years. I know of far too many school districts that have seen current students or graduates succumb to this or other narcotics. I weary of attending more gut-wrenching funerals for children lost to this plague. Now we have the addition of a powdered alcohol mix, which can be added to any bottled beverage while hundreds of students occupy a cafeteria. There is just no level of adult supervision that could prevent the creation of such a cocktail in school. Adolescents being risk-takers by nature, one can only imagine the out-of-school “drinking game” opportunities this new substance would create as well. For the last three years, I have served on

DEC releases new plan for mute swan population control

Stayin’ alive
Following public outcry against a plan to eliminate wild mute swan populations over the next decade, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has released a new draft of its plan that focuses on “nonlethal” methods to control the birds. Thousands of people, including environmentalists and animal rights advocates, had sent in comments last year on the previous draft of the plan, whose stated long-term goal was “to eliminate free-ranging mute swans from New York State by 2025.” Many took issue with the DEC’s plans to euthanize the adult birds and questioned the validity of the department’s research on mute swans’ impact on the environment. State legislators also approved a two-year moratorium on any plan to euthanize the swans and required the DEC to “give priority to nonlethal management techniques.” The first draft of the plan also called for using some swans for zoological purposes and transferring others to people licensed to hold them in captivity. According to the DEC, mute swans, which have orange beaks and make less noise than other types of swans, can contribute to high fecal coliform bacteria counts on bodies of water used for drinking or swimming. They can also attack humans, which can make them “a serious nuisance and render some land or water areas inaccessible for outdoor recreation during the nesting season.” There are about 2,200 free-ranging mute swans in New York, the DEC has estimated, and they can be found on Long Island, in New York City and in the lower Hudson Valley and Lake Ontario regions. The population has jumped from where it was in the 1970s, when mute swans numbered fewer than 700. New York has other species of swan, but mute swans are considered invasive and non-native — they were brought here in the late 1800s and used for ornamental purposes — and thus were targeted for management. The DEC’s goal, as stated in the plan’s most recent draft, is to reduce the mute swan population to its 1980 numbers: fewer than 800 birds. The DEC has been operating under the same species management plan since 1993, and the new mute swan plan would replace the older one. In preparation for the plan, the DEC conducted research between
2004 and 2008 “to document abundance, survival, reproduction, movements, ecological impacts and management of mute swans in New York.” Following public backlash of the first draft, the department this month released its new draft of the management plan, which focuses on alternatives to euthanization, and a document responding to public comments it received. “Because many people object to the use of lethal control methods, especially killing adult birds, DEC will use ‘nonlethal’ methods … where practical and timely, to achieve the management objectives,” the plan stated. Those methods could include terminating embryos in the swans’ eggs or placing the birds in licensed facilities. “However, this will require some commitment of funding and assistance from organizations and individuals who wish to see nonlethal options used to the extent possible. Placement and proper care of swans in public parks or other controlled settings can be costly to local governments or communities.” Despite the emphasis on nonlethal methods, the DEC said in its response to public comments, officials would still resort to lethal methods “wherever immediate removal of birds is necessary to alleviate a site-specific conflict … and live-capture is not practical or no facility is readily available to accept the birds.” The new DEC plan’s agenda for minimizing the impacts of mute swans on other wildlife and habitats includes increasing public support and awareness; preventing new swans from entering wild populations “through intentional releases, escapes or natural reproduction”; and controlling the number of mute swans on downstate tidal waters. Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), one of the legislators who worked to place a moratorium on the swan euthanization, said in a statement last week that the DEC “has heard our concerns and has begun to move in the right direction.” But the new plan still allows for swans to be eliminated under certain circumstances, and he cautioned that the birds “should only be destroyed as the absolute last resort, and only when they are posing public danger.” The public can comment on the plan until April 24. Comments can be submitted to FW.wildlf@dec.ny.gov or to NYSDEC Bureau of Wildlife, Swan Management Plan, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754.

Smithtown Democrats focus on 2015 races The Smithtown Democratic Committee is gearing up for a competitive election season and setting its sights on the town board. “It is important that we reflect on the past, but it is necessary that we plan for the future of Smithtown — 2015 will be the year that we reshape our town’s policymaking body,” said committee chairman, Ed Maher, citing the town’s recent 350th anniversary festivities. “Our screening committee will convene this spring and we are excited to hear what the potential candidates have in mind for the future of Smithtown.” Maher also said he will consider screening potential candidates from other parties if needed, and that the Democrats will put the strongest candidates on the ballot in November.
Maher said that several notable Democrats have approached him with interest in running for town board, including former town supervisor candidate Steve Snair and Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency board member, Tony Giordano. “I cannot deny that one of my goals is to serve our community as an elected official,” Snair said of his possible run. “The voters here in Smithtown have seen how little this all-Republican board has done for them and they will remember in November.” Giordano also confirmed that he is considering screening for the Democratic nomination for town board positions. “It’s something that I’m currently looking into,” he said. — Phil Corso

down into umbrella departments of planning and development; human services; public works; public safety; and executive and legislative support services. “When we combine some of these departments, you can have some efficiencies moving forward, such as the sharing of equipment or manpower,” Wehrheim said. “That’s where some of [the neighboring] municipalities have gained their advantages. It’s a more efficient way to run.” But not all members of the town board were sold on the proposal. Town Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R) said he feared the shift to board-appointed commissioners could make way for a more political Smithtown. The supervisor said he felt the town already runs efficiently and that there is risk of losing sight of that by changing power. “As town boards change, the commissioners will change and it will become political, and Smithtown is not as political a town as most towns are,” Vecchio said. “I think politics rears its ugly head when you do this.” Vecchio also said he was concerned over the proposal’s impact
on the town’s financial standing if it agreed to bring on four or five fulltime commissioners. In response, Councilman Tom McCarthy (R) proposed that if the board were to consider such a proposal that all future appointments be made following a financial analysis to ensure the shift is either expense neutral, or money saving. Wehrheim, however, said he and Creighton were working with the state Department of Civil Service to consider using internal employees already working for the town to step up into those roles. The positions they vacate would still need to be filled, Wehrheim said, but only if that position was deemed necessary. “I think we’ve all encountered problems,” he added. “Sometimes it’s difficult dealing with every single department. If we had a problem with any of these departments, that commissioner would come before the board. They would also serve at the pleasure of the board.” Vecchio said he would be happy to discuss the proposal further, but put the onus on Creighton and Wehrheim to demonstrate “in black and white” where efficiencies would occur, and whether or not they would result in lower taxation without becoming political. “They have in the past, and that’s up to us to control,” Creighton said.

OPINION ediToriAL More than the bare minimum
New York Secretary of State Cesar Perales hit hauppauge last week to outline Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to increase the state minimum wage from $8.75 to $10.50. in his pitch, Perales projected a rippling economic impact that could potentially give 150,000 workers a pay raise and bring $382.3 million in value to Long island. While this newspaper supports the notion of empowering our low-income earners with higher minimum wages, we still only see it as a one-dimensional, short-term fix that does not address the bigger issues of affordability. raising the minimum wage is a risky move that could end up hurting us in the long run if not done in conjunction with other means to address inflation and making New York — and Long island — more affordable and livable. Long island has already been struggling to prevent its young people from relocating because of its lack of affordable living options, and raising wages could consequently end up bringing the cost of living even higher for those still hanging on. it’s already hard enough to live on Long island as rents continue to skyrocket and costs continue to increase. That’s why we need a multi-pronged approach to coincide with the established proposal to raise the state minimum wage, which has increased a total $4.50 since 1991. There are plenty of pros to raising the minimum wage, and Perales outlined key points during his hauppauge visit — he said the number of workers on Long island earning minimum wage would jump from the current 85,264 to 202,248. But the state must not ignore the cons that come with such a move, including the potential layoffs at Long island’s small businesses lining the main streets of our communities. our leaders too often put short-term patches on long-term wounds. Those immediate fixes serve a purpose, but we should be looking at the bigger picture.

Leslie Kennedy with her husband, John M. Kennedy Jr. (R), who serves as Suffolk County comptroller.
Vote Kennedy To The ediTor: i have been privileged to work with Leslie Kennedy on a multitude of civic, community, environmental and public safety related and constituent issues for over the past seven plus years in the Suffolk County 12th Legislative district. The 12th Legislative district is located in the western-central portion of the county encompassing the southern section of the Town of Smithtown, the northeastern section of islip and western Brookhaven towns. The district includes Smithtown, Nesconset, hauppauge, the Village
of the Branch, Lake Grove, and parts of Commack, islandia and ronkonkoma. Kennedy, a republican, has been a hardworking, dedicated and effective legislative aid for 11 years under two county legislators: the late donald Blydenburgh and her husband, John M. Kennedy Jr. She spends endless hours of support, research and advocacy to resolve constituent concerns and promotes an open-door policy, which has made her a very popular candidate and “the people’s choice,” including me. She is very committed to and for the people of the 12th Legislative district, and she is truly
an asset who can continue her duties and responsibilities of the district without a missed beat. She is already an integral part of the county government and will strongly make a difference as our new county legislator. Kennedy is a strong individual who has integrity, experience, dedication and heart for her constituents. i strongly support her candidacy for our special election on Tuesday, March 31.

Using scents in sweaty adolescent arguments
D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
A
dolescence stinks. I’m not talking about the heightened age of self-consciousness, the potential for bullying, the physical and emotional growing pains, or the shifting alliances with friends who become enemies who become friends again. Those all stink applying the definition of the quintessentially American expression: “That stinks.”
What I’m describing is the literal smell, as in “Ooh, those roses smell beautiful”; or “Wow, that smell reminds me of the time I went to Montauk and we saw dolphins and whales while drinking aromatic hot chocolate with whipped cream.” With their spectacularly busy schedules, thanks to us, no doubt, teenagers live in the same uniforms day after day. The last thing we do before going to bed, or the first thing we do when we get up in the morning, is to throw those uniforms in the washing machine. We can’t and don’t wash their footwear every night. We can air it out, we can put deodorizers in it, we can even, in a fit of pique, rush out and buy them a new set of Storm Trooper cleats to protect ourselves, but, eventually, the sneakers in the cabinet by the door — or tucked in the basement — develop a cloud of toxic fumes above them.
On the positive side, I suppose, the horrific stench could be like smelling salts. If they are suddenly feeling tired or they bump into one wall too many, as soon as they go down on the ground, they smell their own and everybody else’s cleats and spring back into action. “I’m fine,” they say, as they wobble on one knee, “just get me off that floor.” Sensing that their sweat-driven, body-changing odors may be offensive, some children use deodorants, scented moisturizers or perfume — in the case of my daughter’s friends. That’s like diving into a pool that is way too hot and way too cold, confusing the senses without defeating the odor. I recently brought my son and a friend back from a basketball practice and pulled up next to a mom who was shuttling home six sweaty teammates. We rolled down our windows at a red light and my nose felt as if it had returned to the gym.
No car, not even one with a new car smell, would stand a chance against the pungent odors of adolescence marinating in her three rows of boys. “Oh, hey,” I said, as the boys greeted each other through their open windows. “I guess you got the bigger carpool duty today.” “Uh huh,” she grunted, making it clear she’d somehow drawn the short, smelly straw. “That’s, um, a lot of sweat in there, huh?” I said. She winced while concentrating on breathing only through her mouth. When the light turned green, I thought about those incredible first few months of our kids’ lives. The smells from the delicate shampoos were like the kind of subtle flavor waiters describe to entice us into ordering the specials of the day. Even after those magnificent miracles of life no longer occupied a room, their comforting smell made us forget the late
Maybe the smell assault is one more way to challenge authority figures.
nights of “what’s wrong with her, why won’t she go to sleep,” or the “why is she crying now,” reminding us, instead, of how sweet life can be. Maybe the smell assault is one more way adolescents challenge authority figures. When their feet enter the room, we don’t need to see their frustrated faces or hear their answerswith-attitude to know another battle is about to begin, filled with arguments that sometimes don’t make sense — and scents that make their own arguments.

A splendid turnout at Emma Clark library
between you and me by leah S. DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
B
y now, many people have heard of the Setauket Spy Ring and its leader, Benjamin Tallmadge that operated valuably during the Revolutionary War. For that and for putting Setauket “on the map,” so to speak, we can thank AMC’s “Turn,” the cable television program soon to begin Season 2. That these adventure stories have made our village famous I can vouch for personally. Many times, when I have been asked where I am from and have answered, “Setauket,” I have then
had to explain, even to Long Islanders, my hometown’s location as being between our betterknown neighbors, Stony Brook and Port Jefferson. Now people will sometimes respond, “Oh, the Setauket spies.” They may still not have a geographic grasp, but at least they are impressed. “Turn,” however, is just that, a series of adventure stories whose goal is to entertain and only accidentally teach. Unlike the popular series, “Downton Abbey” on PBS, where there is a full-time historian employed to assure accuracy of even the smallest details concerning the table settings, “Turn” makes up the narrative when the historic details aren’t convenient for the plot. That is not to say that all characterizations and facts are not correct in the TV series. We learned of some that are and some that are not at a panel Sunday afternoon in the Emma Clark library in “famous” Setauket. The event, directed and moderated by reference librarian, Carolyn Emerson, featured five distinguished historians
who answered questions from the moderator about the lives of citizens, soldiers and spies at the gathering titled, “Setauket During the Revolution.” The five were town historian Barbara Russell; Three Village Historical Society’s Beverly Tyler; Suffolk Cooperative Library System’s Mark Rothenberg; Third Regiment, New York historian Bob Winowitch; and Elizabeth Kahn Kaplan, lecturer and curator of the “Spies” exhibit at the historical society. Each panelist spoke for a few minutes, then answered questions from the standingroom-only crowd. For fun and instruction, most of the panel came dressed in clothes reminiscent of the Revolutionary War era. Tallmadge, founder and head of the network, was a major, active in the Revolutionary battles in the north, even as he organized and oversaw the spy ring they called Culper. Abraham Woodhull was the resident spy, later replaced by Robert Townsend, and Caleb Brewster served as a courier, ferrying messages across the Long Island

Sound to Washington in Connecticut. Others were deeply involved, including Austin Roe and Anna Smith Strong. The spy work was stressful and dangerous and involved the use of “invisible ink,” messages written between the lines of legitimate bills of sale whose words could be read only with the application of a special reagent. Much of the intelligence garnered came from mingling with the British in New York City, and so those spies had to have apparent reason to travel back and forth. One significant accomplishment of the spies was to alert Washington that the British were sailing with a superior force to greet the French, who had entered the war and were due to disembark in Newport, R.I. Washington was then able to plant a fake set of plans for the invasion of New York City where the British would discover it. Intent on keeping control of New York City, which they viewed as key to their success, the British fleet turned around in the Sound to rush back for the anticipated

battle. As a result, the French landed without opposition. Life on Long Island under eight years of British occupation was hard. Residents were routinely subjected to forays by British troops for food and valuables. The population at the time was agrarian, with hard farm labor the order of the day, and the British viewed Long Island as their breadbasket. No one was safe, and as a result many who started the war as Loyalists became Patriots — hence the title “Turn.” To judge the difference a TV series makes, in 2013 there were up to three visitors a week to the spy exhibit at the historical society, sometimes none; in 2014, there were 30. If you watch the AMC series, as I will on DVD, be sure to check the facts on any number of relevant websites.
