EMTs honored for delivering newborn

Islip Town supervisor Angie Carpenter and members of the town board paid tribute to local EMTs for the safe at-home deliv-ery of a newborn baby boy last month.

On Monday, Sept. 23, at 1:08 p.m., members of Community Ambulance Company of Sayville were dispatched to a call from a resident who stated that his wife was in labor in their home.

Within minutes of the para-medics’ arrival and checking the patient’s vital signs, light con-tractions turned into one long contraction and with a single push, a healthy baby boy was delivered at 1:23 pm. Mother and child were transported to South-side Hospital Maternity Ward.

is time to get to work, governmentally, for the people of Suffolk County,” he said during his victory speech.

The Republican challenger, Suffolk County comptroller John Kennedy, acquired 115,867 votes (43.38 percent). Gregory Fischer, the Libertarian candi-date, garnered 3,147 votes (1.18 percent).

The race for the county’s 8th legislative district is still too close to call.

William Lindsay III, the Democratic incumbent, received 8,907 votes (49.37), while Anthony Piccirillo, the Republican challenger, acquired 9,130 votes (50.61 percent).

Lindsay, who has not conceded in the race, noted there are still over 700 absen-tee ballots and affidavits to be counted. “This isn’t over yet,” he stated. “We ran a good race and I am confident that when all the votes are counted, we will win.”

At about 10 p.m., at the Republican Party at the Stereo Garden in Patchogue, Piccirillo showed a slight lead by about 40 votes, then a few hundred. With that came big applause from the crowd.

“This year Anthony Piccirillo is kick-ing some butt!” said the Suffolk Coun-ty Republican chairman Jesse Garcia. “After years of losing the 8th legislative district, it is ours.”

Piccirillo addressed the crowd, stating that he was “cautiously optimistic” and awaiting the absentee count.

The previous race between Lindsay and Piccirillo, in 2017, was close as well. In the end, Lindsay won with 10,493 votes (50.59 percent), compared to Pic-

cirillo’s 10,249 votes (49.41 percent). Joseph Hagelmann, the Democratic

challenger for the county’s 10th legisla-tive district, garnered 4,255 votes (30.48 percent). Hagelmann, however, wasn’t actively campaigning this election sea-son.

Tom Cilmi, the Republican incumbent, who serves as the minority leader in the Legislature, was reelected to a sixth and final term with 9,700 votes (69.49 per-cent). Joseph McDermott, the Democrat-ic challenger for the county’s 11th leg-islative district, who previously served as the mayor of Brightwaters Village, received 6,497 votes (43.25 percent).

Earlier that day, McDermott voted at the Brightwaters Cabin, then headed back to his campaign office in Linden-hurst and knocked on doors.

Steve Flotteron, the Republican incum-bent who previously served on the Islip Town Board, was re-elected to a second term with 7,718 votes (51.38 percent). Joan Manahan, the Conservative candi-date, acquired 803 votes (5.35 percent).

Samuel Gonzalez, the Democratic incumbent for the county’s 9th legisla-tive district, was re-elected to his first full term after replacing New York State Sen. Monica Martinez, a Democrat, in a special election earlier this year.

Gonzalez, a union leader with the IBEW Local 1430, said he is ecstatic about the election’s results: 4,613 votes (75.38 percent). “I was first elected to finish off Martinez’s term, but this is me now,” he said, adding that his victory will

allow him to show the public everything he is capable of.

ISLIP TOWNTeam Murray failed to break the Repub-

lican stronghold that is the Town of Islip. Thomas Murray III, the Democrat-

ic challenger to Islip Town supervisor Angie Carpenter, garnered 22,401 votes (43.21 percent). The Republican incum-bent, however, was reelected to a sec-ond full term with 29,426 votes (56.76 percent).

Murray, an environmental attorney who ran unsuccessfully for New York State Assembly last year, said he has no regrets about his latest campaign. “We ran a great race,” he said. “We ran better than any other Democrat has [in Islip Town] in a long time.”

Murray noted his campaign spent $5,000 during the election season, while his opponent spent $400,000. “[Carpen-ter] ran a good campaign, though, and she has my respect,” he said.

In regards to his own campaign, Mur-ray said, “We showed that Democrats can win in Islip Town. Maybe not this year, but in the future.”

Carpenter will enter her second full term as Islip Town supervisor, and has held the seat since 2012 when predeces-sor Tom Croci was elected to the New York State Senate.

“I’m thrilled that our team has been re-elected. This is an affirmation of our efforts, and for that, we are truly grateful. The Town of Islip is rich in its character, history and its uniqueness, throughout the many communities that make us the third-largest town in the State of New York,” she said after her win. “I pledge to focus my efforts to encourage every-one to remember that we are one town, inclusive of diverse cultures. We are com-mitted to ensuring that our departments provide the quality-of-life services and programs that all of our residents deserve and enjoy, and that our downtowns and all our businesses continue to thrive.”

Carpenter started her Election Day vot-ing at Beach Street Middle School in West Islip, marking her 13th time with her name on the ballot. Throughout the course of the day, she touched base with her supporters and shared memories.

The Republican incumbents, John Cochrane and Mary Kate Mullen, acquired 28,348 (28.71 percent) and 28,203 (28.56 percent) votes, respectively.

“I am really proud of the whole Car-penter team, leading the team to victory,” Cochrane said. “I am glad that the whole

system worked this year.”Like Cochrane, Mullen expressed a sim-

ilar remark regarding Tuesday night, after both re-secured their seats on the board. “I am truly honored that the voters have given me another four years in the Town of Islip,” she said. “I plan on continuing [the] work I started in the last four years and to continue moving Islip forward over the next four years.”

The Democratic challengers for Islip Town’s two at-large council seats, Leigh-Ann Barde and Jorge Guadron, also came up short. Barde received 21,068 votes (21.34 percent) and Guadron got 21,105 (21.37 percent).

Barde said the team’s campaign took a lot of time and effort. “It’s time for change in Islip [Town],” she said. “I’ll be seeing everyone again soon.”

Joseph Fritz, the Democratic challeng-er for the Islip Town clerk, garnered 21,829 votes (42.99 percent). Olga Mur-ray, the Republican incumbent, was re-elected to a third term with 28,940 votes (56.99 percent).

Donovan Currey, the Democratic chal-lenger for Islip Town receiver of taxes, received 19,980 votes (38.83 percent). Alexis Weik, the Republican incumbent, was re-elected to a third term with 31,463 votes (61.14 percent). n

Bill Lindsay, who has not conceded in the race, noted there are still over 700 absentee ballots and affidavits to be counted.

Enrollment presentation next weekBY NICOLE FUENTES

Next Tuesday, Nov. 12, at the begin-ning of the board of education meeting, the Bayport-Blue Point School District will be hosting an enrollment presen-tation after almost two years studying

the demographics in the district.The plan, according to the district, is

to make a decision based on the high expectations for students, providing educational opportunities and support-ing students to succeed. A special enrollment committee was formed to

take on the task and review enrollment data and information.

The enrollment committee was formed in March 2018, in response to a district presentation regarding a demographic study done in 2017, with approximately 40 stakeholders includ-ing faculty, staff, residents and parents involved in gathering information.

According to the committee, gradu-ating class sizes were at about 136 in the late ‘90s and have grown as high as 212-13 in the late 2000s, but have since declined to just over 180 the past two school years, with the overall number of students at just about 2,139 as opposed to 2011-‘12 school year’s 2,470.

Possibilities the district has discussed to be more efficient while offering students more opportunities include reconfigurations of grades throughout the buildings. The committee reviewed what the cost savings would be if the buildings were reconfigured to accom-modate one building each for K-1, grades 2-3 and grades 4-5, or two K-3 buildings and one grade 4-5 building.

Updates regarding the committee’s

work was periodically shared during board of education meetings and other presentations and even posted to the district’s website.

In a message to parents, superin-tendent of schools Timothy Hearney thanked the committee members for their “tremendous work and commit-ment to the process.”

The presentation will include the information gathered by the commit-tee, a review of the historical and enrollment data, demographic studies, possible elementary school configu-rations, financial impacts and student opportunities.

Everyone is invited to attend the meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. For those unable to attend, the presentation will be made available on the district web-site following the meeting.

“No proposal for change has been discussed, and the district remains committed to being transparent and open as it uses the committee’s infor-mation as a starting point for discus-sions about the future education in BBP,” added Hearney. n

Adults with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to die from heart disease or stroke as people without diabetes. The good news is that the steps you take to manage your diabetes can also help lower your chances of having heart disease or a stroke:

• Stop smoking or using other tobacco products. • Manage your A1C, blood pres-sure, and cholesterol levels. • Develop or maintain healthy lifestyle habits - be more physically active and learn ways to manage stress. • Take medicines as prescribed by your doctor.

Students say ‘oui’ to new friends

Bayport–Blue Point High School recently welcomed 30 students from Toulouse, France, to kickoff the fifth annual “Invasion Française” cultural exchange event.

The families hosting the French students welcomed the group and their three teachers to a Thanksgiving themed dinner, which was held in the Bayport-Blue Point High School cafeteria. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Timothy P. Hearney started the dinner with a welcome speech, followed by BBPHS French teacher Madame AnnMa-rie Allen providing some background into how this experience had come to fruition.

The visiting students attend Sainte-Marie des Champs, a private school based in Toulouse. During the French trips in 2017 and 2019, students from Sainte-Marie des Champs hosted the students from Bayport-Blue Point High School. According to Md. Allen, both her and Sainte-Marie des Champs English teacher Md. Cabriens have developed a friendship by bringing students from SMDC to BBPHS throughout the years.

The Bayport-Blue Point students were quickly able to connect and start a conver-sation with their French friends. During the dinner, parents mingled and were able to meet their guests, as well as the teachers from France. Additionally, various admin-istrators, staff members and members of the Bayport-Blue Point Board of Education chatted with parents and students throughout the course of the evening. According to Md. Allen, many are already looking forward to bringing back this experience next school year.

BAYPORT-BLUE POINTAcademy students give thanks

In spirit of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday season, students in Luanne Rosado’s first-grade class at Bay-port-Blue Point School District’s Academy Street Ele-mentary School recently participated in the NYS Senate Thanksgiving Day Creative Celebration. To showcase their thanks, the students created a beautiful poster, which included items about what they are thankful for, including their family members, pets and personal belongings.

Academy Street students travel to the bat cave

After researching bats throughout the month of Octo-ber, all second-grade students at Bayport-Blue Point School District’s Academy Street Elementary School

used their artistic talents to create a sculpture of a bat based on their research. At the conclusion of their research, the students prepared a brief report to show-case the animals’ unique characteristics and lifestyle habits. The completed projects were placed on display during the grade-level’s “Bat Cave Museum,” as the stu-dents explained their projects and shared bat-related information with their visiting guests and family mem-bers.

Graduating seniors from the football, marching band/kick line and cheer teams were recognized on Oct. 25, prior to the Connetquot-Centereach football game. Under the lights and on the perfectly manicured and colorful football field, each senior was announced, congratulated and presented with a beautiful red rose and personal gift.  Despite the disappointing outcome of the football game, the Connetquot community was excited and grateful to be able to recognize and thank its graduating seniors.

SAYVILLETaking bullying by the horns

Within Sayville School District, motivational speakers and antibullying programs that address the social-emo-tional needs of students are not new. However, this year, a new initiative—Sayville STRIDES—will focus on attri-

butes that support our students’ social and emotional growth and which are “integral to their personal hap-piness and success. They are “Self-esteem, Trust, Resil-iency,  Independence,  Diversity,  Empathy,  Strength,” as the newly appointed Student Services director Jillian Makris posted on her website. This themed approach during the academic year will keep these core values in the spotlight.

To launch this new initiative, Student Services arranged for a visit from Joe Salamone, executive director of Long Island Coalition Against Bullying.

“Bullying is a road block for many children as they embark on their paths of success and happiness,” Sal-amone said on the LICAB website. “We ask that you join us. This is our Island and it is in our communities where this conflict is taking place. Step up and help the coalition. Strength comes in numbers and together we can defeat it.”

During his recent visit to Sayville Middle and High schools, Salamone did more than speak to the students about the hazards of bullying and social intolerance. He  engaged  them in meaningful dialog and gave them insights from the perspectives of both the bullied and the bully.

Referring to real-life incidences in the news, Joe iden-tified the types of bullying—verbal, physical, cyber, rela-tionship/social—and guided the conversations. Blending comedy and pathos, he gave hope and encouragement to those who may be suffering the pains of intolerance. Throughout the presentation, he emphasized the pos-itive attributes of resiliency, empathy, strength, and self-esteem and called upon the students for their input and feedback in finding solutions. The Sayville students eagerly responded. n

Some 450 of Sayville’s small fry marched in the first annual Hallowe’en parade held under the auspices of the chamber of commerce. The costumed children made a colorful presence as they walked along Main Street and north on Greene Avenue. Among the creative

costumes on display were Ann Katherine Moskwa’s paper dress fashioned entirely from pages of the Suffolk County News.

Donald Campbell, son of Mrs. Thomas Campbell of Greene Avenue, Sayville, wrote home from Los Angeles, where he says he attended the South Caroli-na-Ohio game and met Bill Bendix, the movie star, who was sitting beside him.

Frances Andres of Bohack Court, Sayville, was home this weekend from Jamaica, where she is a student nurse at Mary Immaculate Hospital.

Among the ladies who attended a lun-cheon of the Surgical Dressing Unit of the Suffolk County Cancer Committee of the Stirrup Cup Castle in Oakdale were Mrs. Bryan M. O’Reilly and Mrs. Thomas Campbell of Sayville.

The week’s celebration of the centen-nial anniversary of the Sayville Congre-gational Church began with a tea and organ selections by the organist, John P.G. Bates, piano selections by William Ryther, and vocal selections by Jay John-son.

6 SUFFOLK COUNTY NEWS - NOVEMBER 7, 2019

Election Day is over and the candidates — whether victorious or not — can all breathe a sigh of relief. To the victors, though, that moment of relief won’t last too long, as there are serious issues to tackle ahead. Each can-didate must focus on their platform promises and make them a reality. It’s definitely not going to be easy, so in addition to congratula-tions, we wish them all the best of luck.

However, whether a candidate wins or loses isn’t the issue; the problem is there are just not enough voters. And that’s especially true during an off-year election, where no one is required to choose major leaders such as governor or president. 

In order for the political process to work – even on a local level – there really needs to be public input. Historically, Long Island turns out a low percentage of voters on Election Day compared to the number of registered voters. That’s a shame. 

Those who didn’t make it to the polls this year will hopefully reconsider that inaction next Election Day. It’s important to under-stand that voting is a privilege, but exercising that right is also every American’s responsi-bility. 

Remember our vets

This Monday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day, a time to honor all veterans. The honor is well deserved. Not only did our local veterans fight for our freedom, but they also continue to be contributing members of the communi-ty. Each and every veteran organization gives back in one way or another, whether it is attending ceremonies, talking to schoolchil-dren or awarding scholarships — our veter-ans are always there.

There are several events being held around Islip Town to honor this holiday. If there’s an opportunity to go to one, do so. But even if you are unable to attend, take the time to think about the sacrifices that have been made for our freedom and the men and wom-en who continue to fight for it.

Let’s not forget any of them.

Did you vote?

TOWN OF ISLIP

Islip Town officials recently unveiled Long Island MacArthur Airport run-way improvements, which were com-pleted on time and on budget.

Supervisor Angie Carpenter, airport commissioner Shelley LaRose-Arken, Federal Aviation Administration elected officials and business leaders, and leadership from construction and engineering contractors and stake-holders gathered on Runway 6/24 to celebrate the completion of the reha-bilitation project. The project includ-ed new pavement, enhanced pitching and state-of-the-art lighting. 

“Runway 6/24 is our primary run-way, and its service life is essential to serving our airlines, general avia-tion operations and customers with excellence now, and going into the future,” said LaRose-Arken. “We are so proud of the effort made to com-plete this improvement project ahead of schedule and on-budget. All work was strategically accomplished in six-hour time periods at night, so we did not inconvenience our passengers, or interrupt our air carriers,” she empha-sized.

The runway upgrades also include installing new energy-efficient LED lighting, and replacing all 139 in-pave-ment runway centerline lights and associated conduit and cabling. 

“All of the investment that we’ve been putting into Long Island MacAr-thur airport is really giving the public

a sense of why this is the airport of choice, especially for Long Islanders. This and other upgrade projects and infrastructure improvements posi-tion MacArthur Airport for a strong future,” said Carpenter. “In addition to generating skilled jobs for our area, this rehabilitation prepares our air-port for years to come, as we continue to serve Long Island air travelers and the aviation community, while at the same time, providing infrastructure integrity to our valued community.”

  The FAA authorized a $14.28 mil-lion grant for the rehabilitation work in 2018. The remaining funding was secured from NY State and the local share funded by Passenger Facility Charge. The total project cost was $16,378,161.

Town and airport officials acknowl-edged partners in the project: the aviation community, Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic and Tech Operations, Intercounty Paving Asso-ciates and JKL Engineers. n

SUFFOLK COUNTY NEWS - NOVEMBER 7, 2019 9

Coining a historic collectionSayville’s Chris Imperato offers ancient objects

By LINDA LEUZZI

The coins—gold, bronze, silver and oth-er metals in small, exquisite round forms and larger circumferences and shapes—display angels in gleaming glass cases. There are 300 of them displayed; wielding swords, holding birds, sitting on mythical creatures and even one on a vintage bicy-cle. A swirl of history permeates The Mon-umental Group, where the former Sayville Community Ambulance was located, and before that, New York Telephone, with its women manning switchboards. The build-ing itself dates back to 1924.

You would want to stop in. Owner Chris Imperato, who co-founded the business with Dan Perez in 2013, is a knowledge-able numismatic, or coin expert. He is also a fascinating raconteur for each piece, with anecdotes about the eras, monarchs, wars of their time, and cities they origi-nated in.

“It’s the largest collection outside The British Museum,” he said of the coins he displays, plus others stored, totaling 600. “And there are several here over 2,000 years old.”

Imperato picked up the oldest, from the Kingdom of Macedon, 336-323 B.C. “There she is,” he said of Nike, a winged female. It was an exquisitely formed gold stater coin, weighing 9 grams. On the other side was Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, the symbol of Athens.

“Angel depictions go back 10,000 years ago to Mezoamerica and Egypt, which show winged humans,” he added. “Most are typically represented by younger wom-en or cherubs.” Archangel Michael slaying the dragon, though, was part of the collec-tion, as well as Icarus.

The bronze coin with the angel on a bike mentioned earlier was from a Swiss touring club with an 1896 date. And the angel riding the hippocamp, a horse’s body with a fish tail, is from 1775 and signed by Augustin Dupré, a French engraver and friend of Benjamin Franklin.

“I just love them and find it fascinating that angels span more than 2,000 years in coinage and over 10,000 years in art,” Imperato said.

But it’s not just coins presented in this attractive gallery; Imperato sells historic documents, currency and medals, antique toy pistols, Civil War photos, old jewelry, gleaming amethysts and other stones in their rough form.

He has two notable copies of the Decla-

ration of Independence and will give you a history lesson in details they don’t teach in higher education. The original, he not-ed, sits in the upper level of the National Archives Museum in Washington, D.C.

One of the prized copies he had on dis-play was made by John Binns. By 1815, the original had seriously deteriorated, and there was a need for a facsimile, so copies were made by commission or permission and Binns’s work, from 1819, is considered one of the valuable original copies.

The rarest documents Imperato owned consisted of strategic letters by George Washington.

Five staffers work upstairs. Claude Lazar came down to talk stamps. “Claude is our philatelic [stamp] expert,” explained Imperato after introductions. “My father owned a stamp company in New York City, Fatoullah Lazar Inc.,” Lazar said. Lazar was a mentor to Imperato when he began working at New World Rarities. When the owner retired, “I wanted to set up my own shop and a lot of people needed a job,” Imperato said.

Co-founder Dan Perez runs the retail side of the business; Imperato is the coin connoisseur.

“Stamps have been issued since 1840,” explained Lazar. “And they’ve been an art form. Every country has issued them.”

Imperato showed Lazar the first U.S. adhesive stamps; he wanted to use them for postage.

“Don’t use them,” said Lazar alarmed. “You’ll make me cry.”

They bantered. Imperato pulled out books of stamps noting their price; Lazar pointed out they were worth double.

Imperato’s love for coins and collect-ibles began in Brooklyn. At age 6, he dug through garbage after his friend Derek taught him about the cool things he could find. “I found an Indian head penny collec-tion in a blue folder,” he recalled. “I fell in love with them and with archaeology.” He travels all over Europe for his collections and has a large Instagram following. Cli-ents come in and sometimes spend three hours in the attractive showroom.

(Not surprising. Maybe it’s the heft of the centuries represented here, but even the plants have a vibrant vibe.)

That commitment can be seen in the Knapp Cardiac Care Center, a new surgical pavilion, our American College of

Surgeons accredited trauma center, our women’s imaging, breast health, bariatrics, vascular services and so much more.

So while we’ve updated our brand to represent our growth, there is one thing that will never change: Our commitment to make you

feel as comfortable in our home as you do in your own.

Your community. Your hospital.

Gluttony, feasts and foodThe Paper Doll Vintage Boutique held its monthly art show on the evening of

Friday, Nov. 1. With Thanksgiving around the  corner, the theme of “Gluttony, Feasts and Food” was a fitting entré into the season of plenty. With over a dozen artists’ works displayed throughout the bountiful, eclectic vintage sartorial trea-sures, it was a lush feast for the eyes. 

Artists Alexis de Camp, Robert Stenzel and Raquerine Alford, above, pose for a quick shot before exhibiting their works of the joy of food, aptly curated for the month of November. Stenzel was so inspired by the theme that he created an ode to the found-art era with a homemade, canned soup. Like a Banksy piece, the canned soup will self-destruct, as it is only viable for consumption for 18 months.

“Just Desserts,” left, by Alexis de Camp was a crowd favorite for its uniquely gothic color pal-ette contrasting with its bubbly subject matter of chocolate-covered straw-berries. A bit of Halloween mixed in with Valentine’s Day, the piece was original-ly inspired as office art for de Camp’s stint in a bakery.

Phase I approved for BBP LibraryBy LINDA LEUZZI

The former Ursuline Center renova-tion project, the new Bayport-Blue Point Library home, is making its way through the journey of critical approvals.

The library has received a green light to start the Middle Road location’s Phase I site work.

“We heard Sept. 30 from New York State Education Department Facilities Plan-ning,” said BBP Library director Michael Firestone. BBS Architects, Landscape Architects & Engineers prepared the paperwork. As for Phase II, “it went to the State Education Department in Sep-tember and so far, their comments have been pretty benign.”

In anticipation, although a definite yes hasn’t been announced for Phase II approval, Firestone said bids for both phases of the 35,000-square-foot build-ing will be sought by December’s end, or beginning of January, as suggested by Park East Construction, the Hunting-ton-based firm BBP Library is using.

All totaled, $13,197,800 in renovation plans were applied for to the state. The BBP Library purchased the property offi-cially from the Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk U.S. Province on Feb. 11 for $3,650,000, after the local community voted for the project.

The approval for Phase I came just in time, Firestone commented. “We needed that to apply for a New York State Library

Construction grant by Oct. 3,” he said. “The state Legislature ultimately has to approve the grant, but it has been recom-

mended that we receive $300,000.”Firestone said he thought the construc-

tion work might begin on mechanical

necessities, like the new HVAC system, or in the children’s wing, where the stacks planned would be accessible to young-sters once the bids are decided on. “Phase I is exterior work, which we got approval for,” Firestone explained. “Phase II is the interior work, but because we’re bidding them together, the interior work might start before because of possible weather issues. Phase I involves raising the sep-tic systems above the water table and addressing handicap sidewalks.”

BBP Library board president Ron Devine Jr. said, “It probably takes 30 to 60 days for the bids to come back.”

The original 1930s building is in good shape. “BBS and Park East did a thorough analysis of the building and if there was anything of note, they found it,” Devine commented. “The basement is in pretty good shape; the chapel area will be the showpiece and usable. Our goal is to complete the renovation work as soon as possible.”

Devine said the county and the town wanted to partner on a couple of hope-ful collaborations. That includes building sharing and a possible open-space pur-chase.

“We’re definitely adhering to the time-line,” Firestone said. “We anticipated bidding out late 2019, early 2020. That gives us 16 months for the construction project.”

As Devine said of the project, “It will be a lasting legacy.” n

PUBLIC NOTICEOF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Legisla-ture of the County of Suf-folk New York will meet at the County Center in Riverhead, New York in said County, on 26th day of November 2019 at 2 pm, Prevailing Time, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing upon a pro-posal for an amendment to 2017 Map and Plan for the increases and improve-ments to the facilities of Suffolk County Sewer Dis-trict No. 6 – Kings Park; in and about the Town of Smithtown, substantially in accordance with the amended maps, plans, report and recommenda-tions prepared by the Suf-folk County Sewer Agency, with the assistance of the Suffolk County Depart-ment of Public Works, and filed with the Legislature of the County of Suffolk, at which time and place said County Legislature will consider such propos-al and hear all parties in-terested therein concern-ing the same.

In Suffolk County Res-olution No. 739-2017, the Suffolk County Legislature determined that it was in the public interest to in-crease and improve the facilities of Sewer District No. 6 – Kings Park. Based the May 2019 amended Map and Plan, additional funds are needed to com-plete all work. The public hearing is being held to address a proposed cost amendment to the 2017 Map and Plan for the in-crease and improvement to the facilities of Sewer District No. 6 – Kings Park.Notice of CostThe cost of the increase and improvement to the

facilities of Sewer District No. 6 – Kings Park has risen from an estimated cost of $5 million in 2017 to an estimated cost of $8 million as set forth in the amended Map and Plan.

There will be no fiscal impact to the benefited properties within Suffolk County Sewer District No. 6 – Kings Park, since pur-suant to the Assessment Stabilization Reserve Fund (ASRF), all property own-ers in Sewer District No. 6 – Kings Park will experi-ence a 3% annual increase regardless of any increas-es or improvements per-formed. In the case of Suf-folk County Sewer District No. 6, the annual ASRF increase will result in an increase of approximately $2.60 per typical property within the District, regard-less of additional funds necessary to complete the increase and improve-ment. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact caused to the benefited properties in the District as a result of the amendment of the 2017 Map and Plan to reflect an increase in the cost to the increases, improvements.

Copies of the map, engineering report, the public hearing report and the project summaries are available in the Of-fice of the Department of Public Works, located in Yaphank and the Office of the Clerk of the Coun-ty Legislature where they can be reviewed during normal business hours Monday through Friday. We encourage all inter-ested parties to appear. Any questions should be forwarded to Ben Wright at 631-852-4184 at the Suf-folk County Department of Public Works.

It is requested that speakers prepare a written statement to submit for the record.

Public Notices The Suffolk County News

Town of Islip supervisor Angie Carpenter recently announced that the Town of Islip has been designated a Clean Energy Community by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, recognizing its leadership in reducing energy use, cutting costs and driving clean energy locally.

Announced by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in August 2016, the $16 million Clean Energy Communities initiative supports local government leaders across the state by providing grants to eligible municipalities to implement energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable development projects in their communities. Clean Ener-gy Communities advance the governor’s Green New Deal by demonstrating the importance of communities in helping New York reach its goal of having a carbon-neu-tral economy as soon as practicable and a carbon-free power grid by 2040.

The Town of Islip received the designation for com-pleting four of 10 high-impact clean energy actions identified by NYSERDA as part of the Clean Energy Communities initiative.

“We have worked diligently to achieve this certifica-tion. The town has long been forward thinking in its commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, by way of our WRAP program, and we take great pride in the work we’ve accomplished. With this designation, we will con-tinue building upon our achievements,” said Carpenter.

 To earn the Clean Energy Community designation, the Town of Islip completed the following high-impact clean energy actions:• Adopted a benchmarking policy  to track and report

the energy use of the town’s municipal buildings.• Streamlined the local approval processes  for solar

projects through adoption of the New York State Unified Solar Permit.

• Deployed alternative fuel vehicles in the town’s vehi-cle fleet. 

• Completed energy code enforcement training on best practices in energy code enforcement for code com-pliance officers and other municipal officials.

Cities, counties, towns and villages that complete at least  four of 10 high-impact clean energy actions are

designated Clean Energy Communities. At least two of the four actions must have been completed after Aug. 1, 2016.

The Clean Energy Communities program on Long Island is offered in partnership with PSEG Long Island.    The program is also supported by the Clean Energy Fund and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. n

vices they need.Castro-Tapler served in the Marines

from 2001-2004 and is currently the president of the Long Island Women Marine Association. She said she orig-inally enlisted for education purposes, but went on active duty after Sept. 11 to “be there for her country.” She then served as a firefighter and went on to a deployment in Kuwait and served in OIF-OEF.

After coming home, she soon became pregnant, and tried to adapt to civilian life believing there few women veterans in the area. Then, after being pushed to attend an event at the VA, she checked herself in as what she thought to be the only woman Marine. To her surprise, she was met with 10 others.

“That opened up a whole new world for me,” she said.

Then, after talking with some of the vets and being particularly taken with a WWII woman veteran, she found out the Women’s Marine Association had been recently disbanded due to lack of members.

“But what was really a kick in the [butt], was that I found out that wom-en lived a block down from me and all this time these women needed me, they were my sisters and they were alone,” she said, inspired to promise to do whatever she could to be there for women veterans. “Being connected to each other is the best healing we are going to get.”

Fast-forward to about four months ago, and the women veterans Advi-sory Board was unanimously signed into legislation on June 18. Now, each branch of the Legislature is tasked with finding a veteran to serve as a member. Castro-Tapler was Berland’s first pick. Berland and Suffolk County executive Steve Bellone announced her new posi-

tion at her third annual 5K for Fighters race held last month in Patchogue in support of homeless women veterans.

Castro-Tapler lives in Patchogue with her husband, two stepchildren and son, and will now serve as a member of the first-ever Suffolk County Women Vet-erans Advisory Board. The board will meet quarterly. All meetings, she said, are open and all women veterans are encouraged to join.

“It’s time to have their voices heard,” she added. “I want them to stop hiding and have their needs met.”

Patchogue resident Cathie Norton Doherty was also among one of the first of the 11 members to be appointed by Legis. Tom Cilmi. She served active duty in the Navy from 1990-92 and the reserves until 1998. She is also a Navy veteran’s wife and the mother of a Navy vet. Together, they have two children.

“For years now we have been trying to speak out and raise attention and awareness to the different issues we face,” she said, happy to finally have a women’s board.

The goals of the board, she hopes, will be to establish a women’s veteran shel-ter in a nice neighborhood in Suffolk County where women can bring their children, as well as better counseling services and a woman gynecologist at the VA (currently there is only a male doctor).

“Finally we have been heard. Not only did we get a seat at the table, but we got our own table, that we earned,” she added, proud of their accomplishments.

Resolutions have been laid on the table to appoint each member, and according to Berland’s office, should be voted on at the Nov. 26 General Meet-ing. The first meeting should be held sometime in December. n

StaceyAnn Castro-Tapler received her appointment after hosting the third annual 5K for Fighters race in Patchogue in October. She will now serve as a member of the board for the first-ever Women Veterans Advisory Board in Suffolk County.

Purpose of the boardThe Suffolk County Women Veterans Advi-

sory Board was created to discuss issues of importance to women veterans and to make recommendations regarding proposed legisla-tion, policies and programming to the Suffolk County Legislature. To advocate on behalf of women vets, to encourage civic participation at all levels of government, to promote govern-mental interaction with women vets to provide information necessary to enable them to have equal access and opportunity to be heard and to improve understandings between women vets and Suffolk County government.

Six percent of veterans are womenSuffolk County  is home to the

largest veteran population in the state, according to the  Suffolk Veterans Service Agency.  Wom-en  were about 6 percent of the 66,687  veterans  in  Suffolk  in 2016, according to the latest fig-ures available from the U.S. Cen-sus Bureau.

Veterans Day at Sparrow ParkOn Monday morning, the community will gather at Sparrow Park in Sayville

to celebrate those who have served and continue to serve our country in the Armed Forces.

Members the Lt. Michael Murphy Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps are scheduled to march from the Long Island Maritime Museum in West Sayville, down Main Street to Sparrow Park, where the commemorative Veterans Day service will be held at 11 a.m.

Post Cmdr. Steven Antonacci says a 97-year-old WWII veteran, Ruth Welch, is expected to attend the ceremony.

Veterans Day, originally named Armistice Day, started after the end of World War I, which is widely regarded to have taken effect at 11 a.m. – the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. In reality, though, a formal peace agreement between allied forces and Germany was signed the following year with the Treaty of Versailles. Armistice Day was renamed Vet-erans Day in 1954.

A number of veterans are also being honored during this month’s Islip Town board meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 5:30 p.m.

An avenue of heroesTwenty red maple trees now line the new road that will lead to the Navy SEAL Museum

BY RANDALL WASZYNSKI

The new Lt. Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum and Sea Cadet Training Facility’s ribbon was officially cut, last week, opening the Avenue of Heroes, which honors the 19 fallen Navy SEALs and Army Night Stalkers and the lone survivor of Operation Red Wings in 2005 in the mountains of Afghanistan — the single-largest loss of life for Naval Special Warfare since World War II.

In honor of them and their families, each service member who lost their lives has been recognized with a red maple tree and a plaque inscribed with the name, rank, branch of service, and dates of birth and passing of the fallen.

Daniel J. Murphy, Gold Star father and chairman of the museum, spoke at the event on Tuesday, Oct. 22, as well as Suf-folk County executive Steve Bellone and Legis. William Lindsay. Gold Star families of Operation Red Wings attended the cer-emony, as well as an honor guard of Sea Cadets from the Lt. Michael Murphy Divi-sion of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Corps.

Murphy said there is plenty of space for more Gold Star families to be recognized in the same capacity as those from Oper-ation Red Wings.

“We want it to represent all fallen heroes,” Murphy said. “The red maple trees represent remembrance.”

The Avenue of Heroes leads up to the new museum and training facility, locat-ed off of West Avenue on the grounds of Charles Dominy County Park, next to the Long Island Maritime Museum in West Sayville. The structure of the museum has

been completed, and focus has turned to the interior.

Murphy said the museum is on schedule to be completed next spring and sug-gested that the ribbon cutting and grand opening would be placed on May 7. This date, Murphy said, is highly significant, since it is Lt. Michael Murphy’s birth-day. Several past commemorations have been lined up on Lt. Murphy’s birthday, including the naming of a guided-missile destroyer USS Michael Murphy as well as a post office in Patchogue.

After the ceremony, Murphy and Vin-cent Calvosa, a museum board member and the director of construction, will offer the first tours of the museum’s interior, providing a sneak peek at the planned layout, flow and exhibit content.

Murphy said a gala is scheduled on March 25 at Oheka Castle in Huntington, in which the proceeds will fund construc-tion costs for the museum and training facility. Murphy also said a handful of surprise mystery guests plan on attending the gala. n
