Gone � shin’

BY BARBARA DONLON

Suffolk County’s own state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) has been elected to serve as temporary presi-dent and state Senate major-ity leader after former head Dean G. Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) resigned from the post on Monday.

The Republican-led New York State Senate appointed Flanagan as its new leader amid the arrest of Skelos last week on federal corruption charges. The change in lead-ership comes after several Senate members pressured

Skelos, a Long Islander who touts a more than 30-year tenure, to resign from his leadership position.

Flanagan has been appoint-ed to the temporary position of president and state Senate majority leader for the re-mainder of the 2015-16 term, according to a video from his swearing-in ceremony.

“I am proud and humbled to have been chosen as tem-porary president and major-ity leader of the New York State Senate,” Flanagan said in a statement. “I thank my colleagues for the confidence

Northport man dies in Commack crash

The Suffolk County Fourth Squad detectives are investigating a single-car crash that killed a Northport man in Commack on Monday morning.

Gregory Kelly was driving a 2013 Honda Civic southbound on Old Com-mack Road, just south of Old Northport Road, when he apparently lost control of the car and struck a tree around 7 a.m., police said in a statement.

Kelly, 42, was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Ex-aminer, cops said.

The vehicle was impounded for a safety check. Anyone with informa-tion about this crash is asked to call the Fourth Squad at (631) 854-8452.

VOTED BEST BUYER ON LONG ISLAND.

Smithtown shifts standards for awarding bidsTown board changes decision-making process when granting contracts based on ‘best value’By Phil Corso

Smithtown’s Town Board unanimous-ly green-lighted the adding of a chapter to the town code that awards bids based on best value rather than simply giving con-tracts to the lowest bidder.

The change came pursu-ant to a state general munic-ipal law that allowed towns to authorize the awarding of certain purchase con-tracts, including contracts for services exceeding $20,000, based on best val-ue, which Assistant Town Attorney Janice Hansen described as more cost efficient in the long term, as opposed to the cheapest option in the short term.

“The best value option may be used if, for example, it is more cost efficient over time to award the good or service [con-tract] to other than the lowest bidder or offerer, if factors such as lower cost of maintenance, durability, higher quality and longer product life can be document-ed,” she said at an April 7 public hearing on the matter.

Contracts for public works projects,

however, were not included under the new chapter, Hansen said.

The state law described the standards for best value as projects that “optimize quality, cost and efficiency among respon-sive and responsible bidders or offerers.”

But Charlie Gardner, director of government affairs for the Long Island chapter of the National Electrical Contractors As-sociation, spoke on behalf of his group’s 47 different electrical contractors in Nassau and Suffolk coun-ties in saying there were

concerns over the wording of the mea-sure. By awarding contracts based on best value and not just price, Gardner said he was worried about the level of subjectivity that might arise in the decision-making process and was simply looking for reas-surance from the board.

“If you read the standards for best value, it does cite where possible determinants should be based on objective and quantifi-able analysis of clearly described and docu-mented criteria, which is fine,” he said. “But why does it say, ‘Where possible?’ Shouldn’t

it always be the determination based on that? We’re not quibbling with the intent of the law and we certainly have faith in the current town board, but down the road, when subjectivity enters into it, that’s the concern of my members.”

Smithtown Supervisor Patrick Vec-chio (R) said the board would take Gardner’s concerns into consideration in making future decisions on contracts and also ensure any awards are justified

as they are rolled out.The state law requires that entities must

document their reasoning for awarding a contract based on best value instead of to the lowest responsible bidder.

Smithtown’s Town Board voted 5-0 in support of the measure at its April 23 meeting, making the new chapter super-sede any inconsistent provisions of the town’s procurement policy enacted be-fore the unanimous vote.

Smithtown anniversary to put faith in spotlightBY BarBara Donlon

Nine churches will take part in the Smithtown Church History Day to honor and celebrate the town’s 350th anniversary.

Sunday, May 17, has been the designat-ed day for residents to learn about other religions and discover the similarities be-tween faiths. The churches will open their doors to interested parties for tours and historic activities.

The Resurrection Byzantine Catholic Church on Edgewater Avenue is welcom-ing visitors to its regularly scheduled Sun-day Divine Liturgy at 11:15 a.m. followed by an open house and guided tours be-tween 1 and 5 p.m.

The Smithtown United Methodist Church on Middle Country Road will open from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. for tours and additional activities. Members will also be serving light refreshments.

St. Thomas of Canterbury Episcopal Church on Brooksite Drive will also open its doors to the public for its 8 and 10 a.m. services with coffee following each one.

Between noon and 2 p.m. volunteers will be there to hand out brochures and give tours of the church and garden. There will also be a demonstration of how to use the Meditation Labyrinth.

For residents who would like to see Smithtown’s oldest church, they can visit Smithtown First Presbyterian founded by Richard Smythe in 1675, located at the corner of Middle Country Road and North Country Road. Starting at 1 p.m. DVDs on the church and its history will be shown in the Narthex along with light refreshments available in the Parish Hall. Family ac-tivities will take place on the church lawn throughout the afternoon. Several other events will take place throughout the day.

Both St. James United Methodist lo-cated on Moriches Road and Trinity AME Church located on New York Avenue are inviting the community to come and learn about their respective history.

St. James United Methodist is inviting people to come see the interior of the church that was rebuilt in 1899 after being de-

stroyed by a fire. Members are also inviting people to take a look at the popular stained glass windows. Trinity AME Church will serve refreshments and invites the commu-nity to join them for a meet and greet.

The Smithtown Landing Methodist Church on Landing Avenue is offering open tours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Members of the Ladies Auxiliary will be on hand to present the history and background of the church. There will also be information on the founding members of the church who are buried in the little cemetery on the grounds.

The Hauppauge United Methodist Church on Townline Road will also be participating in the big day. The church will open for services at 9 a.m. when all are welcome. Between 2 and 3 p.m. there will be church tours followed by a tour of the old Hauppauge burial grounds behind the church with graves dating back to the Revolutionary War.

The last church that will participate in the festivities is St. James Episcopal Church on North Country Road. Worship services will be held at 8 and 9:30 a.m. followed by an open house from noon to 4 p.m. Guid-ed tours to see the church will be available throughout the day as well as guided tours of the cemetery. A picnic lunch featuring hot dogs, apple pie and other goodies will be available as well.

County strengthens domestic violence safeguardsBy Phil Corso

The county’s proactive push to em-power victims of domestic violence reached another milestone on Tuesday when the Legislature unanimously ap-proved a pilot program that would slap ankle bracelets on offenders under an order of protection.

County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) ignited the domestic violence discussion last month when the county approved her legislation providing law enforcement and victims with danger assessment tools that identify high-risk offenders. Her efforts turned an-other corner with the approval of Tues-day’s legislation in what she said was a multi-faceted approach toward mak-ing Suffolk’s domestic violence policy stronger than it’s ever been.

The latest pieces of legislation make Global Positioning System technology available for electronic monitoring of those in the family and criminal court systems subject to a “stay away” order of protection — which is more restric-tive than a “refrain from” order — and pose a continuing threat to the safety of a victim or their children, Hahn said.

“This has been something I’ve wanted to work on since getting here,” said Hahn, whose personal experience as a victim of domestic violence brings the issue to the

top of her list of priorities. “One of the things that was important to me was deal-ing with orders of protection. I had an or-der of protection and it’s very frightening — and I’ve heard over and over again over the years — that it’s just a piece of paper with no ability to truly protect the victim. That’s what I’m trying to fix.”

Both bills were virtually replicas of one another, but were specific to criminal and family courts respec-tively. The county’s district attorney would acquire the GPS units and the offenders would have to cover the cost of monitoring, she said.

Tom Spota, Suffolk County district attorney, threw his support behind Hahn’s initiative.

“I have every confidence this pilot program will be successful in effec-tively protecting victims of domestic violence,” he said in a statement.

In 2013 alone, the state division of criminal justice reported that there were more than 1,500 violations of or-ders of protection in the county. That statistic, coupled with the fact that do-mestic violence accounted for 21 per-cent of all violent victimizations na-tionwide from 2003 to 2012, was what spurred Hahn to bulk up her domestic violence agenda, she said.

“In my experience as a federal prosecu-tor, GPS devices serve as a real deterrent,”

said Tim Sini, assistant deputy Suffolk County executive. “In the moment of passion, an offender often thinks twice before reoffending when he knows he is being monitored by law enforcement.”

The pilot program would provide the county with 30 new GPS devices to be used when judges assign offenders to an order of protection. The technol-ogy could be used in one of two ways — either tracking offenders so they

stay away from a victim’s home or jobs, or acting as proximity detectors and letting victims know if an offender is near them. The latter form of tracking would be optional for victims.

“Having been someone who had an or-der of protection and was afraid that the offender would come, it gives you peace of mind as a victim knowing you could be alerted,” Hahn said. “If a victim doesn’t like it, they don’t have to [wear] it.”

Photo from Kara Hahnlegislator Kara hahn, center, pitches the pieces of legislation that would employ GPs technology to keep offenders away from domestic violence victims in suffolk County.

North Shore schools dissect declining enrollmentCommack, Kings Park, Smithtown districts’ numbers dip while Huntington reports increase in students last yearBy Phil Corso

Enrollment numbers are in f lux for western North Shore school districts like Commack, Huntington, Kings Park and Smithtown, but superinten-dents are planning ac-cordingly for the future.

A Western Suffolk BOCES report released in March pegged an over-all 6.9 percent decline in enrollment numbers of elementary and middle school students from 89,532 in 2008 to 83,336 in 2014. Some of the districts suffering the larger numbers of enrollment dips included Commack, Kings Park and Smithtown — the largest district un-der the Western Suffolk BOCES region — but Huntington’s district, however, was named one of only three districts to see an enrollment increase over the last few years.

Overall regional enrollment is pro-jected to decline by 5,396 students, or 6.5 percent, over the next three years, as elementary and middle school en-

rollment figures progress through the system, according to the report.

“The number of births in Suffolk County declined from 21,252 in 1990 to 15,521 in 2013 (preliminary data),” the report said. “Smaller kindergarten class-

es replaced larger exiting twelfth-grade classes each year since 2008. As these smaller cohorts continue to move through the sys-tem, losses are projected in elementary, middle and secondary grade enroll-ment from 2014 to 2017.”

Commack and Kings Park each suffered a little more than 13 percent dips in enrollment between 2008 and 2014, the report said — the greatest losses of any Western Suffolk BOCES district during that time. But Timothy Eagen, superintendent of schools for the Kings Park Central School District, said there was no need for panic.

Eagen said his district hit historical enrollment numbers back in 2006 at 4,192 students and then saw that figure slowly drop over the following years to 3,511 this year. Looking ahead, Kings

Park projected 3,391 enrollment by the coming September.

“The reason for the enrollment decline is fairly simple,” Eagen said. “The incom-ing kindergarten class has been smaller than the graduating twelfth-grade class of the previous year since 2007.”

Eagen said enrollment numbers should stabilize in the not-too-distant future, as the district moves forward with a staff-neutral budget that allows

for reductions in class sizes.“Class sizes are finally moving in

a good direction, and I have received some very positive feedback from the community on this,” he said.

The Commack School District, which did not return requests for com-ment, saw its enrollment figures drop from 7,830 in 2008 to 6,778 in 2014.

Suffolk County GOP seeks to attract Latino voters

By Rohma aBBas

County Republicans are vy-ing for the votes of Suffolk’s La-tino population.

A county GOP press release last week announced that for the first time in its history, it would be creating a Hispanic alliance tasked with register-ing Latino voters and recruit-ing potential candidates to run for office.

“For far too long, the political left has taken the Hispanic com-munity for granted and recent polls indicate a growing frustration with the Democrat par-ty’s lack of family values and under-standing of small business,” GOP chairman John Jay LaValle said in the statement. “It is clearly time for Suffolk County’s Hispanic families to seek an alternative and the Republican Party is that alternative.”

Republicans are seeking to tap into a growing Latino elec-torate in Suffolk County, the statement said. According to Nick LaLota, the Republican

commissioner of the Suffolk County Board of Elections, La-tinos comprise about 7.8 per-cent of Suffolk County’s 907,000 total registered voters this year. That’s up from 5.82 percent in 2006, he said.

When drawing up the fig-ures, BOE officials analyzed the last names of voters to determine which individu-als have “Hispanic-oriented” names, LaLota said. And while it’s not an “exact science,” it gives officials an idea of the

growth of the population.

Two His-panic Re-publicans — Brookhaven’s Jose Nunez and Victo-ria Serpa of Islip — will co-chair the

Suffolk County Republican Hispanic Alliance, LaValle said. When reached this week, Nunez said he felt there was a great op-portunity for the Republicans to attract Hispanic voters, who traditionally lean Democratic.

“We believe that they have the same core values— family, business,” he said. “They’re very

conservative. There’s a lot of re-ligion. I think there’s a pool of people right here that haven’t been reached.”

But as far as Suffolk County Democratic Chairman Rich Schaffer is concerned, the Re-publicans were late to the party. He noted the Democrats have backed several Hispanic indi-viduals who were elected

“It’s about time,” Schaffer said. “We don’t need press re-leases. We’ve been doing it for years. We welcome them to fi-nally recognizing that the His-panic population is an impor-tant part of our county.”

Nunez said the GOP’s new alliance would also serve an educational purpose — engag-ing Latino voters in a political dialogue and perhaps dispelling fears of the political process that some may acquaint with their native countries.

It’s “smart” for Republicans to be reaching out to Hispanic voters, according to Xavier Pa-lacios, a Huntington resident, school board member and co-founder of the Friends of Hun-tington Station Latin Quar-ter — a group established to revitalize Huntington Station through business development, mentorship, vocational train-ing and other programs. The number-one issue on the minds

of Hispanics, Palacios said, is immigration reform, and it’s something Republicans need to address head-on if they’re going to attract Latino voters.

“I think it can no longer be the hot potato,” he said. “A solu-tion to real immigration reform needs to be had, needs to be dis-cussed as a real issue.”

Not everyone thinks that La-tinos care most about the immi-gration issue. Nunez said there are many Latinos out there who feel people should arrive and settle in the country through legal channels. He also said im-migration was a federal issue,

not a local one.Other issues on the local lev-

el are of importance to Latinos too, Palacios said — namely economic opportunity. He said Republicans and Democrats would be smart “in focusing on pocketbook issues,” as many f irst-and-second-generation Latino residents are staggered in professions or can’t afford college. Immigrants come here to fulfill the American Dream for their children, something that appears to be becoming more challenging.

“Folks nowadays, in my view, are losing that dream,” he said.

On April 17, students from Kings Park High School attended the Long Island Youth Summit held at Dowling College. The summit is a program where students choose from an array of topics that are current issues on Long Island and then design plans to rectify them for the future. Topics pertain to issues exclusive to Long Island such as socio-medical, environ-mental, educational, socio-economic, housing and leadership. Students choose their topics and present their research in such formats as artwork, video presenta-tions or a formal research paper.

Dowling reviewed the projects and 70 students were chosen as finalists — Kings Park had more finalists than any other school district. Each finalist was awarded a $500 scholarship and, at the summit, discussed their projects and participated in activities in order to collectively solve the problems that could impact the future

of Long Island.Following the workshops, representa-

tives from Dowling announced the overall winners for each category and subcatego-ry. Four students from Kings Park were chosen as overall winners: Samantha Fong and Christina Chalgren for their project, “Teens Mental Health, Self-Esteem, and Wellness” and Kathleen Schurr and Mari-ana Guercio for their project, “Bullying, Cyber Bullying, and Social Networking.” Each overall winner received an addi-tional $2,000 in scholarship funds and the opportunity to participate in a paid internship with North Shore LIJ.

In addition to the paid internships, Kings Park students earned $43,000 in scholarship money, once again prevailing above any other school in attendance. The students enjoyed the experience and were extremely proud to represent Kings Park with such high distinction.

Smithtown high school students honored for spreading civilitySeven students from Smithtown High

Schools East and West were honored at the annual Suffolk County Yom HaSho-ah Holocaust Remembrance Day. Coor-dinated by the Jewish Community Rela-tions Council of Long Island, the event

honors students who work to create a more civil society through volunteering, building ties across different communi-ties and intergenerational projects.

The presentation was held on April 20 at the Suffolk Center on the Ho-

locaust, Diversity and Human Un-derstanding at Suffolk County Com-munity College in Selden during Holocaust Remembrance Month.

The event also brought honorees together with Holocaust survivor

Werner Reich.The honored students are Victoria

they have placed in me. With this job comes a responsibility to lead and to lis-ten, and to rebuild the public’s trust.”

Flanagan, 54, has held the position of senator since 2002. Prior to joining the Senate, he was a member of the New York State Assembly for 15 years.

State Sen. John A. De-Francisco (R-Syracuse), who was vying for the majority position, spoke to Flanagan’s appoint-ment on Monday and said there were no hard feelings.

“I know he is not only a great senator, he’s a great man and I’m proud to move his nomination,” DeFrancisco said.

Flanagan’s colleague, State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) also lauded the move.

“It gives me great joy, great pride to second the nomination of John Flana-gan as our temporary president,” LaValle said. “John Flanagan has great intellect, great energy and he has a wonderful, wonderful demeanor that brings people

together.”Many of Flanagan’s colleagues spoke

highly of the new majority leader prior to his swearing-in ceremony that took place in Albany following the 32 ayes he received out of 63 senators present.

“The Senate made the right decision by voting Sen. John Flanagan as the new-est majority leader,” Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R-Melville) said in a state-ment. “Flanagan has a track record for

getting things done in the Senate and working with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.”

After his swearing in, Flanagan thanked Skelos for his decades of service and accom-plishing the enactment of Megan’s Law, a law

that publicizes the whereabouts of sex offenders.

“I have now had the good fortune of being in the Legislature for 29 years and I am proud to be in public service,” Fla-nagan said in a video from his swearing-in ceremony. “I spent 16 years in the As-sembly in the minority, I’m now in my 13th year in the Senate, two of which [were] in the minority and I learned a lot being in both venues.”

Despite a 17-13 loss Friday at the hands of top-seeded and undefeated Middle Coun-try, the Smithtown West girls’ lacrosse team gave the Mad Dogs a run for their money.

The Bulls bounced back with a 20-6 win at home over Lindenhurst Tuesday, but the way the team was able to battle against the best team in Division I shows how far this Smithtown West team has come from past seasons.

“That’s not how they play, but they were definitely intimidated, without a doubt,” Smithtown West head coach Carie Bodo said after the team’s loss to visiting Middle Country. “In the first half, the girls were a little nervous, but in the second half, they were pissed and they came out and played, and we were able to outscore them in the second half.”

Middle Country started the game scor-ing seven unanswered goals before junior midfielder Mackenzie Heldberg put the Bulls on the board with 12:42 remaining before the halftime break.

After another Middle Country goal, Smithtown West sophomore midfielder Kayla Kosubinsky scooped the ball up off a turnover in the Bulls’ zone and passed it across the field until the ball wound up in the stick of freshman attack Grace Langella

on the left side of the net. Langella dumped it in for the score, and five minutes later, after their opponent scored again, senior attack Kaitlin Unser put one away after sev-eral attempts to bring the score to 9-3.

Each team traded two more goals to bring the score to 11-5 heading into the second half.

“We need to work on starting off strong in the first half,” Kosubinsky said. “I think in the second half we really stepped it up. We knew that we were capable of scoring more goals, so I was proud of the second half.”

Middle Country started off the scoring again in the second half, but only tallied one goal this time before Smithtown West put a point on the board.

“I thought winning the draw was going to be key today because both offenses are very strong,” Middle Country head coach Lind-say Dolson said. “Getting off to a strong start definitely helped, but it’s hard to keep that momentum going throughout the entire game, especially when you get up against a good team. They’re going to keep fighting — they’re not going to roll over and die.”

The Mad Dogs continued to win the draw and tacked on three unanswered goals, but the Bulls countered with a 5-0 run of their own, with Kosubinsky scoring two of those goals, which forced Middle Country to call timeout.

“When they called their timeout, they

knew momentum changed,” Bodo said. “They came into the huddle and said ‘That’s it,’ and they were screaming and yelling and they knew they had them on the ropes.”

Middle Country scored soon after the timeout, and Smithtown West tallied the last two goals of the game, but the Mad Dogs were able to drain some time off the clock.

The Bulls’ comeback effort wasn’t enough to top their undefeated competitors.

Sophomore attack Chelsea Witteck finished with three goals and two assists, while Heldberg and junior midfielder Natalia Lynch tacked on two goals and one assist each.

The Bulls’ 13 goals are the most scored against the Mad Dogs all season, just edg-ing out Ward Melville, which scored 12, and puts them among only three teams to score

in the double digits against Middle Country.“I think that we needed to figure out what

we needed to do quicker in the game before there wasn’t much time left,” Kosubinsky said. “But these girls are amazing and every person has their own role on this team and I think we all work so good together.”

The sophomore midfielder tallied five points off a goal and four assists in the win over Lindenhurst, while Witteck, Heldberg and Lynch each added six points off four goals and two assists apiece.

The Bulls end the regular season with a 12-3 overall record and 10-3 mark in Di-vision I. As the No. 5 seed in the playoffs, Smithtown West will travel to crosstown ri-val No. 4 Smithtown East on Tuesday, May 19, for a first-round matchup. The opening draw is scheduled for 4 p.m.

10,844 in 2008 and dropped about 250 students per year to 9,704 by 2014, the report said, and school Superintendent James J. Grossane said the Smithtown Board of Education was working dili-gently to prepare for the shift. The su-perintendent said the district is brac-ing for an ongoing dip through the year 2023, when he projects a total en-rollment of 7,316.

The BOCES report said Smithtown saw a 26 percent drop in housing sales between 2007 and 2012 but did note sales went up between 2012 and 2013 by 36.2 percent, showing a generally stabilizing market.

Meanwhile, Smithtown’s BOE con-vened a housing committee in April 2014 comprised of a broad cross sec-tion of school community members as well as members of the Smithtown community at large to analyze the dis-trict’s future housing needs in light of a continuous decline in enrollment, Grossane said. That committee made various recommendations to the BOE back in March, including closing one elementary school no sooner than the 2016-17 school year but did not specify which one. It also suggested the BOE considered a potential middle school closure for the 2022-23 school year if enrollment continues to decline at its current rate, pending a study from the BOE’s Citizens’ Advisory Committee

on Instruction and Housing.The Huntington school district was

one of three districts to record enroll-ment increases between 2013 and 2014 at 1.8 percent alongside Copiague and Wyandanch, bringing its 2014 number up to 4,446 from 4,384 in 2008.

Huntington’s enrollment figures won’t be leading to any closures or openings of schools, Superintendent Jim Polansky said in an interview this week. Compared to the other two dis-tricts, Huntington’s increase is rela-tively stable, he said.

“We’re kind of f lat,” he said. “There are a number of other districts that are kind of f lat. We’re really not anything out of the ordinary.”

The same could not be said, how-ever, for its neighboring school district in Northport-East Northport, where numbers declined from 6,410 in 2008 to 5,686 in 2014. Enrollment num-bers there have prompted a discussion among some school board members about what to do going forward. One board member, Stephen Waldenburg Jr., has suggested it’s possible the district might have to explore closing buildings

“That’s a very scary thing,” Walden-burg said in a prior interview. “That’s a traumatic thing for the district.”

Harborfields school district is in the same boat. Enrollment there fell from 3,686 to 3,222 in the same time period. Also in Cold Spring Harbor school dis-trict, enrollment fell from 2,065 to 1,803.

Rohma Abbas contributed reporting.

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

OPINION

File photo by Phil Corso Smithtown Supervisor Pat Vecchio says he is against a proposal that would restructure government accountability.

Consider thisTo The ediTor:

This letter is in response to the May 7, 2015, Times of Smithtown front-page article entitled “Considering commis-sioners.”

Smithtown Councilman Bob Creighton is reaching out to Suffolk County about the town’s current government setup, stating his plan would reform it. This to me is a double-edged sword. on one side, we have town Supervisor Pat Vecchio, who does not want any reform, as his position is very comfy and probably has been for a long time. on the other hand we certainly need restructuring, but

not by the government.Anything the government gets

involved in, as we all know, does not work. our choice is to con-sider letting a fat cat like Vecchio remain at his job or put these so called “watchdogs” in place … to do exactly what?

So far accountability has not worked at the highest or lowest levels in our government.

What are the departments these commissioners would be assigned to? it is not mentioned in the article.

on a local level there is much to be done, but no one is doing what’s needed to help the home-less find housing, fully repair our roads and infrastructure, do thorough safety checks on our environmental issues, lower

our utilities and property taxes, creation of more local jobs for the suffering middle class … the list goes on.

People like Vecchio, i’m sure, get paid well for doing not much … just like many members of Congress or the too many administrators in the too many school districts on Long island.

how can we be assured that these commissioners would do their jobs and ensure account-ability? We can’t. This is for the Smithtown residents to decide. Since i live in Centerport, it’s out of my district, but still applies in theory.

ediToriALPraise for taking action now

if you haven’t yet read The Post and Cou-rier’s “Till death do us part” series of stories on domestic violence in South Carolina, which won a Pulitzer Prize this year, you should. The open-ing paragraph sets the tone for the series with a shocking statistic: “More than 300 women were shot, stabbed, strangled, beaten, bludgeoned or burned to death over the past decade by men in South Carolina, dying at a rate of one every 12 days while the state does little to stem the carnage from domestic abuse.”

it goes on to say that while “state officials have long lamented the high death toll for women, lawmakers have put little money into prevention programs and have resisted efforts to toughen penalties for abusers.”

The piece is both disturbing and eye-open-ing, and while South Carolina is different from both New York and the smaller communities of Suffolk County, domestic violence is still a complex issue, and we commend our represen-tatives for not just standing by.

The Suffolk County Legislature unanimously approved a pilot program on Tuesday that would provide 30 new GPS tracking devices for family court judges to assign to offenders with an order of protection against them. The program would also allow victims of domestic violence — if they so choose — to wear their own tracking devices so they may be alerted if an offender is near them.

The legislation is the latest brought forth by Legislator Kara hahn (d-Setauket) and continues to strengthen county laws relating to domestic violence.

While some may question the use of track-ing devices, giving the discretion to judges al-lows us to evaluate each case on an individual basis. That would hopefully limit the GPS system to the most dangerous offenders and prevent us from violating anyone’s constitu-tional rights. And 30 devices is a small number when looking at the bigger picture — in 2013, there were more than 1,500 violations of orders of protection in Suffolk County.

if assigned appropriately, carefully and con-servatively, the devices could help give domes-tic violence victims a new sense of safety and freedom to live their lives.

A call for more investment in scientific research

Bruce Stillman is still very determined even if he sounds frustrated. I inter-

viewed the CEO of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory last week when the research institution released, for the first time, a set of numbers indicating the posi-tive economic impact of CSHL on Long Island.

While proud of an institu-tion that has produced eight Nobel Prize winners, Stillman sounded a theme I hear regu-

The true gifts of friendship

D. None of the aboveby DaNiel DuNaief

[email protected]

Daniel Dunaief’s recent book, “The Other Parent,”

may be purchased online from www.tbrnewsmedia.com/ebooks.

larly when I interview scientists at CSHL, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University: The country isn’t in-vesting enough in research.

“The reduction in federal funding means we do have to support the institution through philanthropy more than we’ve been doing in the past,” Still-man said. “Hopefully, Congress will realize they should reverse the dramatic reduction in fund-ing in the federal budgets. It doesn’t make any sense.”

Indeed, investments in re-search around the country make sense on many levels. For start-ers, many of us have unfortunate direct experience with a deadly disease like cancer, which slowly tears through a person’s body. We have also witnessed friends who have demonstrated spec-tacular courage and determina-tion in the face of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or other neurode-generative diseases.

Inspired by our friends and neighbors, we walk, run or do triathlons and we spend time in church, synagogues and mosques

praying for them and for strang-ers battling the same affliction.

Scientists aren’t just looking for ways to lessen the symptoms or ease the pain — they’re also working to find signs of the dis-ease before they appear. Ange-lina Jolie raised awareness of the potential benefits of preventing problems when she elected to have several surgeries.

As their doctors would rush to tell them, people shouldn’t have surgeries just because a famous actress did. Places like CSHL can provide the kind of knowledge that provides information that empowers informed decisions.

“There’s a lot of misinfor-mation on the Internet,” Still-man said. “What the scientific community is trying to do is to make sure the information about genomics and medicine is correct and [people aren’t rely-ing on information] out there that is misleading.”

Beyond the applied science part, however, researchers who are doing basic science often wind up making critical dis-coveries. By only funding those

projects that might have a direct impact on human health, can and will be too self-limiting. What we learn can and often does help us. On the other side of that scale, what we don’t know can’t have any impact.

And then there’s the financial benefit. Research often has a mul-tiplier effect, creating jobs, bring-ing in revenue and supporting the local economy.

“Everybody knows, includ-ing politicians, that science is an economic driver,” Stillman said. “If you take away public research funding, you’re basi-cally giving up.”

Stillman said that what’s gone on in the last 15 years in the United States “bucks the trend since World War II, when the U.S. was invested and was a world leader in research.”

Stillman himself, who was born in Australia, has won nu-merous awards and runs his own DNA lab, said he came to this country because of American leadership in research, but now “things are changing rapidly. People like me will not come to

this country because there’ll be opportunities elsewhere.”

CSHL, BNL, Stony Brook and LIJ are all huge economic benefits for Long Island, Still-man said.

“Unless this gets reversed,” he warned, “we’ll be in trouble.”

So, what will turn the tide?“There’ll come a time when

one can’t ignore the govern-ment role in economic devel-opment,” he said. It’s happened before, he argues, as invest-ments in research after World War II helped bring the U.S. out of debt.

As a result future generations benefited enormously — and will do so again.

Everybody knows, including politicians,

that science is an economic driver.

It has been a revolving door at my house, which must mean it is truly spring. I don’t know

about you, but as soon as the weather turns beautiful, my dear-est friends shake the winter cob-webs out of their systems and call to see if they can visit. The number of calls increases with the rising temperature as we move into sum-mer. I only slightly attribute that to my scintillating personality. I know the real impetus for visiting

And I’m not talking about the candy, flowers or wine.

is this beautiful place we live in.They all have bona fide reasons

to come here. They have meet-ings, conferences, cultural events, doctor appointments, dentist appointments and so forth that bring them out from the big city or from other states, or even from the other coast. In the meantime, they get to enjoy the shoreline, the beaches, the docks, and the shops, restaurants and art gal-leries in the villages, and I get to enjoy them.

They all bring me something. And I’m not talking about the candy, flowers or wine that are house gifts. They bring me stories about their lives in other places, about their children’s successes and their grandchildren’s bril-liance. They bring me news of friends we have in common, so I can catch up on who is doing what. They bring me memories of places and events we’ve shared, for they are usually longtime friends and, therefore, witnesses to my life. And they bring me laughter about outrageous mo-

ments we have known and tears for those whom we have lost. Most knew my husband, even my father and mother and my broth-er and sister, all of whom are long gone from this world but who live on in our recollections and in the stories we exchange. And we worry together over friends who are not doing so well and about each other.

We also plan for the future: plays we will get tickets for, meals we will share, museum exhibits that are not to be missed, con-certs we will hear, perhaps even trips we will take together. At this time in our lives, we are free enough of familial responsibili-ties to dare make such plans.

We talk of books we have read, movies we have enjoyed, and ex-periences we recommend. In so doing, we broaden each other’s lives. We even exchange the names and symbols of equities we have heard promising fore-casts about and interesting per-sonal interviews we have caught on television. We are often fear-

less enough to wade into political opinions, even revealing whether we had or had not voted for Presi-dent Obama and how we think he is doing. Just mention the name Hillary, and the conversation is off and running for the next half hour. Lest you think we support only one party, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush can also be part of the conversation. We cover the politi-cal waterfront.

As the day goes on, we might even lay bare some of our wor-ries or shortcomings, offering encouragement to each other in the process, recalling triumphs that belie the worries. We might share recipes, including the men among us, and we brag about all the vegetables we have eaten in the previous 24 hours and how we cooked them.

They share stories about other friends, eventually introducing them and broadening our circle. Each newcomer brings some of the same interests, but also new subjects we might never have thought about, much less learned

of. To pat myself on the back for a moment, I am pleased to have taught a small group of my trav-eling buddies how to recognize a Guernsey cow, which has orange and white markings, comes from one of the British Channel Islands and gives delicious milk rich in vitamin A. How do I know that? My father grew up on a dairy farm and shared that vital infor-mation with me, explaining how I could distinguish a Guernsey from a Jersey cow, which comes from another of the Channel Is-lands. How could we go through life not knowing that difference?

So my friends are welcomed with clean sheets and morn-ing coffee. Given all the above, it seems like the least I can do.
