Patchogue pushes meeting to
curtail alcohol intoxication
Meeting with chamber, BID and village for bartenders
BY LINDA LEUZZI
The Greater Patchogue Chamber of
Commerce, Patchogue Business Improvement District and the village are
inviting local restaurant and bar owners
to a meeting on Jan. 6 at the Patchogue
Theatre for the Performing Arts.
The topic: steering patrons towards
responsible drinking.
“We’ll talk about that we have a very
vibrant community and we don’t want to
ruin it by allowing Main Street to get out
of control, and that we need to work together,” said Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri. “It’s the responsibility of all of us,
not just the restaurant and bar owners,
Suffolk County police, the village; it’s all
of us.”
Chamber members were requested to
write a statement to the chamber, via an
email mid-December, if specific business
owners had issues.
“It’s not any one business,” said chamber executive director Gail Hoag, who reiterated there had been issues for several
years. “Everything [happening] seems to
be late at night. There are problems at
3:30 a.m. We know because that’s when
the businesses alarms go off. That’s when
we can pinpoint it. [The alarms go off if]
something’s happened to a window, or
PATCHOGUE
even if someone leans on the building.
There have been complaints from some
of the business owners about the condition of the buildings.” Hoag said some
owners were greeted with trash, urine
and vomit in the mornings as they unlocked their doors. “That’s what I hear,”
she said.
The meeting won’t be a finger pointer,
Pontieri said, but a way to present some
solutions or for some of the owners to
ask questions about the dilemmas they
face.
Ken Meyer, a former executive vice
president with Clare Rose Inc., the beer
distributor who made Patchogue home
until two years ago when it moved to
Yaphank, will host the meeting, with
specific emphasis on TIPS (Training for
Intervention ProcedureS), which offers
training intervention procedures for alcohol servers. “It’s a national program
that Clare Rose has been doing for over
20 years,” Meyer said. “What we do is
bring in servers, owners, bartenders,
waiters and waitresses who work at onpremises restaurants, bars and taverns.
We do role playing with a bartender and
someone who’s been over-served.” Meyer said a strategy might involve offering
appetizers and food for someone who
is ratcheting up the drink order. “You
don’t want to get into a confrontation
but you want to get them a cab,” he said.
“It’s educating the servers. When we first
started, we found it hard for people to
participate. Now it’s become very successful.” Meyer pointed out that TIPS-

PATCHOGUE VILLAGE _______________________________________________________________________________
Senior apartments damaged in blaze
BY PEGGY SPELLMAN HOEY
A four-alarm fire ripped through Northwood Village in Patchogue, destroying
two apartments last Friday afternoon.
The fire started shortly before 1 p.m. on
the southwest side of the eight-unit apartment complex, drawing more than 70
firefighters from four different fire departments across the South Shore. About a
dozen residents inside the apartments
at the time were able to get out of the
two-story structure without injury, but
one firefighter, who was not identified,
ended up having to be monitored by an
emergency medical technician after battling the quick-moving blaze brought on a
change in his blood pressure, Patchogue
Fire Chief Joe Perry said.
“He was beat down a little bit there
when he was in the apartment,” Perry
said, describing the intense heat the firefighters experienced trying to squelch the
flames. The blaze required Suffolk County
emergency services officials to activate
North Patchogue, Blue Point and Hagerman to aid the in firefighting operation
and close down a portion of Montauk
Highway for about two hours. “I believe
the Red Cross [aided] 10 people in the
house; everyone was out by the time we
got there.”
Suffolk police detectives have not been
able to determine the cause of the fire,
though they believe it originated in the
ceiling of a utility room before spreading
into the two apartments that were damaged, a police spokeswoman said.
Perry said the fire was so intense that
crews had to lay down a blanket of foam
to retard the fire so that firefighters could
move into the interior to extinguish the
rising flames.
Sarah Meumeyer, who lives next door to
the apartment complex, said she noticed
the fire right after it started and began

knocking on residents’ doors.
“The people had no idea that the building was engulfed,” said Meumeyer, 28,
adding that she was scared but “more
scared for [the residents] because I
believe it’s 65-and-over.” “I got to the first
three apartments, tried banging on the
door but the flames were really close to
my face.”
Like Meumeyer feared, not everyone
was aware the building was on fire.
Alfred Colon did not know anything
was wrong.
“They said, ‘What happened here?’ ”
exclaimed Alfred, who left the building
along with his wife, Frances, after seeing
fire trucks outside and then sought refuge
from the smoke inside Appliance King
Service next door.
Workers inside the office said they
thought that they smelled smoke kind
of like the lingering smell of a cigarette.
Believing the smell to be an electrical
problem with one of their computer monitors, 21-year-old Grace Fitzgerald said she
began to unplug her computer monitor;
that was when she noticed flames shooting out of one of the units.
“I was in shock. I felt so bad for those
people,” said Fitzgerald.
Perry said two apartments were completely destroyed by the fire and there
was some water damage to the apartments, but most of the residents were
allowed to go back in.
“I was very happy overall with the operation, mainly because my guys and none
of the residents were injured,” he said. “If
you look at it from another standpoint,
only two out of the eight apartments were
lost; that is a success, so as far as I am
concerned.”
Detectives do not believe the fire is
suspicious, although the investigation is
continuing, police said. ■
Bar Owners: Talk about responsible drinking _______________________________
FROM PAGE 1
certified staff offers not only the incentive of being a
good neighbor but also a discount on the owner’s liquor
liability.
“Last week’s DWI roundup by the Fifth Precinct in
Patchogue was unacceptable,” Meyer added. Meyer was
referring to Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Precinct police officers who arrested six people during an overnight sobriety checkpoint and saturation patrol in the village on
Dec. 23, from midnight until 2:30 a.m. Christmas Eve,
who were mostly young people. Meyer said there would
be three to five people speaking about TIPS and enacting roles from Clare Rose; Suffolk police officials will
also speak during the meeting.
TIPS is currently a nationwide program offered by
Health Communications Inc. out of Arlington, Va. It was
initiated in 1982 by Dr. Morris Chafetz, founding director of the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol
Abuse. Chafetz, who has authored 14 books and over
200 articles on alcohol and alcohol abuse, created a program that provides bartenders and waiters skills to prevent their customers from becoming intoxicated.
BrickHouse Brewery entertainment manager James
Skidmore, chairman of the chamber’s restaurant and
tourism committee, said all his bartenders and some
wait staff are TIPS-certified. The BrickHouse has 12
bartenders, he said; they take a four-hour TIPS course,
which has to be re-certified every two years.
“It allows you to see some of the triggers,” he said
of the training. “A lot is common sense. After a second
drink, you put out a glass of water; that slows down
the pace. Sometimes you might bring out a little food
because it will slow down the drinking and absorption.
We offer water, a cup of coffee, a cab. This is a first
response. It’s the right of the bartender to cut them off,
that’s one of the places where the customer isn’t always
right. Any bartender can tell a person, ‘I won’t serve
you.’ It’s done with respect. But very rarely do we get
to that point.”
Skidmore was the chamber’s contact person for the
restaurants and bar owners on Main Street as well as
the riverfront businesses. “We’re actually inviting the
bartenders themselves,” Skidmore said. “They’ll have
a chance to give their input. To be proactive is an excellent idea, it’s forward thinking and shows there’s a
genuine concern. Right now, it’s a time where we can
all speak.”
Scotti Campbell, owner of PeraBell Food Bar on Main
Street, said he has about eight bartenders on staff; all
are TIPS-certified.
“I think it’s the underage drinking that’s the problem
and the bartenders need to recognize that,” he said. “We
have a great cab service here and I’m proud to say a lot
of Patchogue people are using cabs. You want to prevent drinking and driving and avoid over-intoxication,
which I don’t have much of a problem here.”
Campbell said his business, which is next to the Patchogue Theatre, does well seven days a week, but his
client base really throngs from Thursday through Sunday. “Some people complain about how fast we grew,”
he commented. “I saw this town go from good to bad to
great in 30 years. I’m proud to be here. I think code enforcement is great and the police are doing a great job.”
PeraBell, which was first located on West Main Street
before his current location, has been in business for six
years. “I think it’s a great idea,” he said of the meeting.
“The Patchogue boom has been great for everybody; we
just have to control it better.”
Hoag was asked if anyone in the chamber commented
they felt unsafe or had been accosted.
“I’ve heard a few of the employees say that sometimes
when they’re leaving at night, they felt uncomfortable,”
she answered. “There’s been no incident that I know of.
I’ve walked all over Patchogue over the years and I have
not felt uncomfortable at any time.”
Pontieri is hoping that will never happen and that all
the restaurant and bar owners will participate. There
are about 15 establishments on or near the Main Street
boundaries alone.
“There have been incidents that have been disturbing,” he admitted. “A fight here, a fight there. Concerns
from the owner of the Irish Crossroads [gift shop] about
what she finds when she opens up in the morning. Not
any of them are major, but you take them collectively
and you have an issue. Our public safety officers have
been aggressive about not bringing containers outside
the bars on Main Street, as well as addressing public urination; these need to be brought under control. Suffolk
County police have been aggressive with DWI control
but you don’t want it to be an armed camp either.”
The meeting on Sunday, Jan. 6 is scheduled for 11:30
a.m. ■

Robert Rowley Park cameras activated today
BY LINDA LEUZZI
The community goal — addressing
the crime issue and creating a safe
community — is in black and white on
page 54 of Greater Bellport’s Sustainable
Community Plan. Installing security
cameras in the community was one
of the bullet points. That’s happened
specifically in Robert Rowley Park; they
were activated today, Thursday, Jan. 3.
“It’s been a process,” said Councilwoman
Connie Kepert. Kepert has sat regularly
and often with community members as
they formulated their community plan,
prepared by Sustainable Long Island and
presented in January 2009. That included
input on what parents and community
members wanted to see in their local park.
“We’ve invested heavily in Robert Rowley
Park — over $1 million to make it a safe
place for families,” she said. “Addressing
the crime issue and making the area safe
was one of the No. 1 priorities. That has
to come first.”
If you want to use your computer
and sit in the sun on a mild day, that’s
possible, too. “That same technology
creates a hot spot in the park so you can
use your laptops there,” she said. Wi-Fi
Internet access is available now.
Increased use of the park was evident,
especially during last July. A major goal
of the community plan was to improve
the recreational space for the community,
which has a large youth population.
The improvements to Robert Rowley
included new basketball courts, handball
courts and three separate playgrounds
for toddlers to older children. Rondell
Flippen, a former Boys and Girls Club
of the Bellport Area member, started the
Shooting Stars program in a partnership
with BGCBA, utilizing the courts, and
parents could be seen driving in the
parking lot to drop off their children
regularly at the park’s entrance on
Patchogue and Hoffman avenues.
“The cameras are an important step
towards maintaining security in the park
and showing the residents they can go
there and feel safe,” said Greater Bellport
Coalition Chairman John Rogers. “We’ve
had a few people say during our monthly
meetings they wouldn’t send their kids
down to the park, but hopefully with the
cameras, that fear will go away.”
The park abuts to the back of the new
BGCBA headquarters on Atlantic Avenue,
which opened officially last September.
“It’s being used more by the Boys and
Girls Club in the spring and summer,”
Kepert said. “When families see kids
there and responsible adults, they feel
safe bringing their children there. That’s
a key piece of the puzzle.”
Kepert said the Martha Avenue Park
might be getting some significant
improvements. “We’re also looking at
some substantial investment there, a new
playground and a BMX park,” she said. Of
the funding, “it’s coming from community
development block grants,” she said. ■
Architects are expected to unveil their
plans for a project that ties in with the proposed transit-oriented development for the
Station Road hub — an integral part of the
efforts to revitalize North Bellport — at
the next meeting of the Greater Bellport
Coalition.
The mixed-use development, which is
slated for a section of land bordered by
Montauk Highway in the south and Atlantic Avenue in the north in between Post
and Doane avenues in North Bellport,
includes a combination of retail space and
housing units. The concept behind the yet
unnamed development is consistent with
Sustainable Long Island guidelines in that
it provides a community where residents
can live, work and shop for their needs,
all in close proximity to public transportation.
The project’s developer, Ghulam Sarwar,
proposed a series of four two-story buildings featuring about 50,000 square feet of
commercial space with apartments overhead, over a year ago, according to Greater
Bellport Coalition co-chair John Rogers.
The project, which is being designed by
Hepler Associates of Massapequa Park, is
supposed to contain space for a grocery
store, but other than that, Rogers says he
did not have any other “specifics” about
what it could contain. Civic leaders are
expecting the project will not only bring
more jobs to the area, both during the construction phase and once the development
is completed, but that it will bring more
pride to residents who live in the area.
“Along with the improvements that have
been undertaken at the Miracle Plaza Shopping Center and the planned improvements
for the gas station, we expect this probably
will be another step towards transforming
the community of Bellport,” Rogers said
of the project, which is expected to be
unveiled at the coalition’s Jan. 24 meeting.
Sarwar was not available for comment
by deadline.
Once underway, the project will be able
to tie in to the nearby transit-oriented
development proposed for south of Montauk Highway near the Bellport station
of the Long Island Rail Road. The transitoriented development area, along with
Sarwar’s land, were first identified by
residents as locations in need of revitalization during a community visioning about
five years ago. Like Sarwar’s project, the
transit-oriented development is still only
in the initial planning phases.
Brookhaven Councilwoman Connie
Kepert, whose district includes the area
where the projects are proposed, said
there are some preliminary drawings floating around, but that nothing concrete has
been submitted to the town by Sarwar.
From what little Kepert has seen, she
referred to the project’s architect, Dana
Hepler, as very talented and in the process
of drawing up a creative plan that includes
a mix of public spaces. The project will
likely include commercial space for businesses such as dry cleaners and small
doughnut shops that will attract young
working people and older empty-nesters
alike, according to Kepert.
“It creates a nice pedestrian atmosphere,” she said. ■

MASTIC BEACH ______________________________________________________________________________________
Sea wall sought for
flood protection
Mastic Beach officials this week
called for the construction of a sea wall
to guard the low-lying areas of Mastic
Beach against storm surges like those
seen during Superstorm Sandy and the
common place flooding that occurs regularly with every high tide cycle.
The low-lying areas of the newly created village were slammed the past few
weeks by winter storms that caused
washovers at Smith Point County Park,
forcing floodwater from Narrow Bay
into backyards and basements alike,
making it impossible for residents to
travel the roadways. Mastic Beach leaders are now discussing the possibility of
seeking funds to construct a sea wall,
in addition to building up the dunes of
Smith Point, which was breached in
two locations after Sandy, according to
Mayor Bill Biondi. Biondi, who called
state, county and town officials to the
village to assess new flooding last Thursday, said he believes officials have to
seek out a multi-pronged plan of attack
if they are to protect the village from
future flooding issues, because the current system of adding additional sand to
the barrier beach is not working.
“That is not going to solve the problem,” he said of the ongoing beach renourishment plan the county partici-
pates in. “The barrier beach is like the
levees in New Orleans. The levees broke
and the government came in and fixed
them.”
Biondi said that he recently requested
state Sen. Lee Zeldin step in and help the
village get funding for a sea wall, something officials believe will significantly
protect the coastline, and eliminate the
cycle of flooding and reduce cleanup
costs.
Zeldin, who described Mastic Beach
as the hardest hit area in his district, said
he is looking forward to helping the village move forward with its goals, though
he pointed out any funding requested
would be contingent upon federal monies doled out to the state.
“I want to do everything in my absolute power to help Mastic Beach recover
and rebuild even stronger than they
were,” said Zeldin, who is a member
of the senate’s Hurricane Task Force,
in which Biondi has been invited to
speak before on Thursday, Jan. 3 at
the Freeport Recreational Center. Zeldin
said he thinks it provides an important
opportunity for residents, like Biondi,
affected by the storm, to advocate for
their neighborhoods.
“We need to let it be known in Albany
that what we are experiencing at the
ground level each and every day is very
serious, very real,” he said. ■

CENTER MORICHES _________________________________________________________________________________
Maybe a skate park at
the old train station
BT TOM LOTITO
Closed since 1998, the Center
Moriches station of the Long Island
Rail Road may be seeing some new
renovations. In a new effort to further improve the parks and facilities
of the area, Councilman Dan Panico,
along with newly-instated Supervisor Ed Romaine, is pitching that the
station’s abandoned parking lot be
transformed into a skate park.
Funding for site renovations comes
from a Community Development
Block Grant, a program facilitated by
the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. According to Lori Anne
Casdia, legislative aide to Councilman Panico, the CDBG will run for a
period of five years, totaling $650,000,
granting $150,000 each year.
“We’re trying to come up with a
concept to utilize what is a vacant lot,
and a site of frequent dumping,” Panico said. “A small recreational facility
will alleviate that issue.”
Panico explained that the idea of
a skate park is still only a pitch, and
that he and Romaine are open to
other ideas. However, Panico said he
believes kids are often looking for a
place to skate, citing safety as an issue when skaters use high-traffic areas to ride.
“I don’t skate; I could never keep
myself up on a skateboard,” Panico
said. “But skating is very popular in
the area and it’s important to keep the
kids out of trouble.”
Other ideas, if not additional ideas,
for the abandoned lot possibly include
basketball courts, farmer’s markets,
or even another type of community
farm.
“It’s very important to preserve and
improve the parks in the area because
they’re a draw to the area, but they
also help keep property values up,” he
said.
In terms of park fees, according to
Casdia, the skate park would be similar, if not identical to the Keith Romaine Memorial Skate Park — a project also spearheaded by Panico and
Supervisor Romaine’s late son, Councilman Keith Romaine. Brookhaven
residents are eligible to obtain a pass
allowing them to use the facility for
free. Other Suffolk County residents
can use a daily pass for $10, or obtain
an annual pass for $150.
Panico stated that there is no set
deadline for something to happen
with the area. But, awaiting community input, he’d like to see plans put
together as soon as possible.
“This year’s almost over and it
wouldn’t be fi nished by next,” Panico said. “And because of economic
limits, time is on our side, but I’d really like to see that area redeveloped
ASAP.” ■
The former Center Moriches train station, having long
been out of use, may be the site of a new skate park
for the area.
Despite the lone “No Dumping” sign, old trash, posters
and cans are a common sight.

Learning woodworking with Home Depot
Home Depot in Patchogue sent two employees to the Premm Learning Center to
work on woodworking projects with youngsters in the Eastern Suffolk BOCES facility.
Santina Morales, a Kids Workshop captain, and Gennaro Aliperti, a paint associate,
brought the tools necessary to build covered organizer boxes and small toolboxes,
along with pint-sized orange Home Depot aprons for the children to wear. Utilizing
a minimum number of tools, children in Helene Davis’ and Faith Altemose’s classes
learned rudimentary woodworking skills to build an easy toolbox. The PLC staff
planned to take the students to the Home Depot store, but when the gas shortage
occurred in the days following superstorm
Sandy, field trips were cancelled. When
Ms. Davis called the store, she learned
that Home Depot would come to them. She
distributed Kids Workshop certificates of
achievement and pins.

A timely
meeting in
Patchogue
We’ve sat in on the Patchogue Village board
meetings enough to know that there’s been
a definite uptick in the quality of life crimes
that have increased. A lot of it stems from the
bars and clubs.
Patchogue Village trustees have added
an additional justice court officer and two
more code enforcement officers. Suffolk
police have been vigilant on the streets; they
arrested six people over the course of Dec.
23 into Dec. 24 during an overnight sobriety
checkpoint on West Main Street, thanks to
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Precinct officers. A
total of 236 vehicles were stopped.
The major problem is alcohol intoxication.
And now we have an upcoming meeting, a call
to bar and club owners and their bartenders
and staff to gather at the Patchogue Theatre
for the Performing Arts on how to grapple
with this issue. The meeting organized by the
Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce,
the Patchogue Business Improvement District
and the village, will take place on Jan. 6 at
11:30 a.m.
This sensible, straightforward meeting
will present the concerns about the drunken
issues on the rise and how a village with their
businesses can alter the outcome. Input from
the bartenders is welcome.
Former Clare Rose vice president Ken Meyer
will oversee TIPS ((Training for Intervention
ProcedureS) program scenarios on how to
handle intoxicated drinkers or those getting
to that point. Suffolk police officials will be
present to talk about the sobering realities
they witness.
Here’s the thing. Any bartender can say to a
patron, “We won’t serve you.” There are ways
to slow ingesting drinks, to be sure, as well
as safety measures like offering to call a cab,
but everyone needs to be on board with this
one.
People have been ingesting alcohol since
the beginning of time and drunkenness is
nothing new. But the tragedies that have
resulted from too much alcohol are far too
many in the news lately, and the fallout from
it, including fights, public urination and other
unsavory behaviors, needs to stop.
This meeting is a responsible, good move.
We hope all those who serve drinks in this
village attend and become part of the solution.
We know many try. Because serving drinks
responsibly — and saying no to a customer
and saving lives — may the most important
job you can have.
‘Les Misérables’
This week my family and I saw “Les Misérables” on its opening day. Many of you may know the story from the play or even
the novel by Victor Hugo. The movie, like the play, is a musical
and stars Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Anne Hathaway as
Fantine, Russell Crowe as Javert, Amanda Seyfried as Cossette and Eddie Redmayne as Marius. Whether you know the
story or not, I highly recommend seeing this film.
For those who don’t know, “Les Mis” is a powerful tale of
many characters whose lives intertwine as they struggle to
survive in the trying times of the Napoleonic period in France.
The main protagonist is Jean Valjean, a man who fights against
all odds to be respectable and decent despite his past as a prisoner. Although he only stole a loaf of bread in order to save a
starving relative, Valjean served 19 years in prison and gained
the status of a dangerous man. After breaking parole and taking on a new identity, Valjean does well as the head of multiple
factories, but is constantly on the run from Javert, the only
inspector who recognizes him as the dangerous man who disappeared. Valjean tries very hard to be kindhearted and live
an honest life. So when he sees his ex-employee Fantine as
a sickly prostitute in the street, he carries her to the hospital
and adopts her child Cossette. He and Cossette live happily
until Cossette’s lover Marius, joins the revolutionary movement against the king.
All in all, the movie is great and a classic. However, it is kind
of long (157 minutes) so be prepared. Also, bring tissues. It
gets very emotional at times!
Supe proposes nixing capital
projects to improve town’s finances
A number of Brookhaven’s capital projects approved for
bonding, though not yet started, could be nixed next year
under a proposal by Supervisor Edward Romaine to reduce
the town’s debt.
Under the plan, Romaine proposes canceling out all bonded
capital projects that have been completed with a negative-balance-or-under budget, but also putting the brakes on those
projects the town board agreed to bond years ago, though
the project has not been undertaken. Romaine said that canceling the projects that have not been undertaken — some
approved more than six years ago — would not “kill” them
forever, but would only force town board members to make
the case to bring the projects back in resolution form at some
other juncture. In the meantime, Romaine said the proposal
to remove the projects would wipe the slate clean of $76 million of pipeline debt, making the town’s coffers appear more
stable to rating agencies.
“If they want it back later, they can argue it,” said Romaine,
who made the announcement in a memo sent to the town
council last Friday.
Deputy Supervisor Dan Panico said he believes the proposal
has merit given the fiscal climate the town is experiencing.
“Anytime, especially now when we are looking to pare
down spending,” he said. “I am evaluating the projects in my
constituency and across the town; I think that there is a case
to be made that projects that have not started may need to be
cleaned up and possibly reviewed in the future. I think that
the supervisor is on the right track.”
Panico said he expects some push back from the other
council members as the board goes through the list of projects and consults with the different departments.
“If there are places where we can cut and do so in a fashion
that brings down our capital expenses and is not necessary at
the time being, then I am all for it,” she said.
Councilwoman Connie Kepert, who is the liaison to the
highway department, described the list compiled by Romaine
as “very preliminary” and questioned what it would mean for
the highway department, because staffers did not put in for
additional funding for 2013 because there was money left over
from previous years.
“So, obviously, if this [proposal] goes forward, they will not
have any more money,” she said.
Kepert said she couldn’t comment specifically on the list
because she only received it on Friday and has not had the
chance to review it and speak with finance director Tamara
Wright and other department heads.
Kepert said there is some merit to canceling out some of
the projects.
“Some of the things,” she said, adding, “I think that it is
a good idea to get rid of the old debt if the project is com-
Advance
plete.”
Councilman Tim Mazzei was not available for comment on
this story by deadline.
Romaine said he expects his proposal to be discussed during work session today, Thursday, Jan. 3, though he was not
certain if it would take shape in the form of a resolution.
“I’d like to see [a resolution] and would like to have a
majority,” he said.
The town council is expected to meet on Tuesday, Jan. 8 at
5 p.m. inside the boardroom at Town Hall. ■

Questions cab overcharge
on New Year’s Eve
We are residents of Patchogue and my son is the target age
group for the new and exciting nightlife going on in the village these days. His friends come from as far as Mastic, Deer
Park and even Westchester, to go out and spend money in the
many bars and restaurants now open on Main Street. They
are also very responsible about it. They get a ride from our
home, in Canaan Lake, to Main Street, take a cab ride back
and sleep it off in my house. Although $15 may be a bit high
for a two-mile ride, it is worth it for all the right reasons.
On New Year’s Eve, this past Tuesday, they made their
plans around spending the evening in Patchogue, following
our usual routine. I was awakened at 3:30 a.m. by my son’s
phone call, telling me the cab company they used wanted to
charge them $60 for the same ride home! $60! My son told
me of another person who they wanted to charge $50 for a
ride to Bohemia. This is price gauging if I’ve ever seen it.
Shame on them! When I was that age, bars offered free cab
rides home on New Year’s.
If the bar owners and Patchogue administrators want to
focus on nightlife issues, this would be a good place to start.
Why not get together with the cab companies and come
up with a taxi pass (similar to a metro pass), allowing the
consumer to pre-purchase either a number of rides, or an
unlimited monthly pass. Maybe even offer a discount to
patrons who purchase such a pass; like a free appetizer, no
cover charge, or even a jump to the front of the line waiting
to get in. Encouraging taxi service is not only the right thing
to do for safety purposes, it would also help eliminate some
of the after-hours parking insanity I have seen for myself.
The bar owners need to address not only controlling the
patrons of their establishments, but all of those benefiting
from them as well.

Who’s your hero?
Nominate outstanding volunteers for The Long Island Advance’s Man and Woman of the Year award
The Long Island Advance is once again asking the residents of our community to identify this year’s candidates for
Man and Woman of the Year.
Candidates for the Man and Woman of the Year award
should include those individuals who support our South
Shore community in a volunteer capacity. It should not
be someone who is known to this community because of
his or her job or professional position. We are looking for
people who take it upon themselves to make a difference
in this community, not simply someone who has a job to
do, or who happens to be a member of a well-established
organization.
As worthy as those efforts are, we believe that those people receive recognition in other ways, whether in the form
of a paycheck or advancement within the organizations to
which they belong.
The editorial board of The Long Island Advance is looking to honor those who have contributed in some special
way to the community in which they live. These individuals
are the ones who deserve recognition for their effort, but
don’t go about their work to receive media or public attention.
The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, Feb. 6,
2013.
Letters of nomination must include a detailed summary of
the person’s accomplishments and a phone number of the
nominee. Nominations should be sent to: The Long Island
Advance, P.O. Box 780, Patchogue, NY 11772, or by fax at
475-1565. Nominations can also be sent to the following email address: [email protected].
Please address all correspondence to: Attention: Man and
Woman of the Year nominations.
Don’t put it off. Take a few minutes today to think about
your nominations and write to us as soon as you have made
your choices. Thank you!

or old masterpiece. “Let’s not focus on
what chain might open,” she said of the
box stores. “We’ll focus on our unique
businesses, that you can’t get a special
necklace or other items there. Also, the
fact that we work so hard, you’ll get
better quality and personal service you
won’t get at a Walmart.” Thompson,
who with staffer Chris Taylor averages
at least 20 orders a week, should know.
She works 12 to 14 hours a day. The
customers come in to talk about their
art piece or photograph (she also
frames Malcolm Morley’s work, restored
Matthew Troyan’s artwork for Bob Baker
and framed the Arthur Pinajian exhibit,
as well as work for Gallery 125). Then,
“I close the doors at 5 or 6 p.m. and fill
the orders,” she said. “Early morning, I’m
at the computer ordering supplies. I want
to make residents realize if this village
business district wasn’t here, the street
would be a dark tunnel.”
Thompson has received accolades for
her own designing eye; she received the
2010 Top Art and Framing Retailers Award
for Best Interior Design — less than 1,200
feet when she was at her other location
after moving from the Phoenix Gallery.
She was also featured in the December
2012 issue of AfterCapture magazine,
highlighting her frame suggestions.
(Check out the beautiful glass table that
seems to float where she takes orders.)
Her space feels like a visit to a friend’s
home.
Thompson
wants
to
increase
membership, bring in new businesses
and continue the good relationship the
chamber has had with the village.
That the village is experiencing a
change — with longtime businesses like
Shand’s and Variety Mart closing — isn’t
overlooked. But, “it’s an opportunity for
change and change is good,” she points
out. “Scandinavian Living and Design,
The Red Bench, Basil restaurant — those
businesses have opened up. And The Spa
at Bellport is moving further down to our
area.” Bellport is also a historical village,
she points out, with great restaurants and
a top-notch theatre, The Gateway.
Former chamber president Dianne
Romano worked closely with Thompson
during her presidency. “Running a
chamber of commerce with no paid
employees means the officers are the
people volunteering their time for the
benefit of all,” Romano said. “Doing
it well translates into a huge time
commitment that takes hours away from
your own business. LuAnn understands
this and has the motivation and passion
to continue what the Bellport chamber
started back in 1926. With the Internet,
our competition is no longer just around
the corner, it’s everywhere. I have every
confidence that she will lead our chamber
well.”
Thompson’s presence is a calm one,
although how she presents herself without
a giveaway twitch is a mystery. Her roster
of involvement includes vice president of
the South Bay Art Association for 2012,
the Downtown Master Plan Committee
and the planning committee for the Boys
and Girls Club.
Her persona is also a positive one,
and therein probably lies the secret.
Encouragement from the community,
business owners and chamber members
was ongoing. “I would never have known
about the Small Business Development
Center; they helped me write my business
plan and get my loan to buy my building,”
she said of her contact through the
chamber. “That’s part of why I became
president. Here I was under the steps
when I first started in Bellport. Now
Phoenix Gallery is my tenant.” ■
Walter Zeller
fellowship appointments
Shown here are newly appointed awardees of the Walter
Zeller fellowships to four members of the Patchogue
Kiwanis Club. The fellowship was created by the Kiwanis
International Foundation for Kiwanians who have made
an extraordinary promotion and fundraising effort on
behalf of The ELIMINATE Project, a project designed to
raise $110 million to vaccinate mothers and children
against the excruciating ill effects of maternal neonatal
tetanus. Walter Zeller was the first donor to the Kiwanis
International Foundation in 1940. The fellowship was
created in his honor on behalf of this project. Pictured
(left to right): New York State Kiwanis Governor Albert E
Norato Jr., who made the fellowship presentation; honorees and past presidents J. Glen Charvat, Jeffrey Vollmuth
and Robert Walch. The fourth honoree, Nicholas Harding
Jr., was unavailable for the picture. Immediate past president Mark Charvat looks on from the right. More information regarding the project may be obtained through a

Cremation...
Thomas G. Sconzo Sr., who turned 90 on Dec. 8, celebrated his birthday earlier
this month with a gathering at his home in Patchogue. That’s him, seated, holding his youngest great-grandson Thomas C. Sconzo Jr., 3. Also in attendance were
son Frank and wife Eve, visiting from South Carolina, daughter Frances Fitzgerald
and husband Patrick, daughter-in-law Robin Sconzo, nephew William Hilton, seated
to his left, as well as 15 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren and several
friends. Tom grew up in Brooklyn, moved to the Sayville area in the 40s and for
nearly 50 years was the founder and co-owner of Sconzo & Sons Aluminum in

A choice that’s as simple...or as elaborate as you wish.

“Can I have a service or a viewing? What
about costs?” These questions are easily
answered, but only if you know who to ask.
We’re available to answer your
questions, big or small. Feel free to
call us... you’ll be glad you did.

brought these up.”
On Jan. 1, Brookhaven Highway Department Deputy Superintendent Lori
Baldassare, announced her intention to
form an exploratory committee in hopes
of landing the Democratic nomination
for the Highway Superintendent position.
Baldassare has served as Brookhaven
Town chief of staff, acting supervisor and
deputy superintendent for nine years. She
was backed by Councilwoman Connie
Kepert.
“I’ve been in highway doing the job and
worked the past year on the budget and
on saving the ecology site,” she said at
press time. “That was probably one of the
reasons I decided on running. Highway
has one third of the town’s total budget;
as we go forward, we have to look at how
we spend money. We have to look at other
things, like moving departments around,
as we did with the ecology site; we were
able to save jobs. And that was at the eleventh hour. There are a lot of ideas I have.
“I hesitated putting my hat in the ring
because I didn’t want retribution and
they fired me [Wednesday]. I’m home
right now. This is why good, qualified
people hesitate stepping up to the plate.
I’ve been in the background trying to get
things done. All I said was that I was interested in screening. I went into work this
morning, and they fired me. I just helped
manage the hurricane and we have a winter coming. The logic behind it is beyond
me.” Baldassare said Mike Murphy, a general foreman, who took a leave to become
a deputy superintendent, was named to
replace her.
Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine
said earlier in the week if Losquadro was
elected, “I look forward to working with
him to institute a number of reforms to
the highway department to improve performance,” he said. “We have a lot of dedicated people and want to put that to good
use. I can’t comment on the other candidate because the Democrats don’t have
one yet.” Romaine reiterated whoever is
elected to the position will only serve until December 2013. Romaine couldn’t be
reached as of press time regarding Baldassare’s firing. ■

Versatile duo sparks Bellport girls
varsity basketball
Rountree, Guirantes lead 65-45 home victory over William Floyd
BY JIM FURLONG
Asia Rountree competes with ample
confidence.
“I believe what I want to do I can do,
but I have to work hard to do it,” said the
senior athlete at Bellport High School.
Arella Guirantes competes with plenty
of enthusiasm.
“You have to love what you do and
do what you love,” said the sophomore
standout for the Bellport girls varsity
basketball team.
The two players are proving a versatile,
high-scoring duo for the Lady Clippers,
who are aiming to win in the 2013 Suffolk
County playoffs.
In their most recent game, the duo
sparked a 65-45 home victory over the
William Floyd Colonials.
The
5-foot-8-inch
Rountree,
an
aggressive offensive rebounder, produced
23 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks and
six steals. The 15-year-old Guirantes
sparkled as a swift, alert point guard. She
contributed 26 points, 15 rebounds, six
assists, five blocks and five steals.
“Definitely, those two girls are
dynamic,” said Rodney O’Neal, in his
sixth season as the Bellport head coach.
“They want to get better.”
The duo is the best he’s coached,
according to O’Neal.
“They are legit,” said the coach. “They
have different games. Asia anchors our
defense and she plays more in transition.
She is the best on the team in the open
court.”
The 5-foot-9-inch Guirantes, who
joined varsity as a seventh-grader, quickly
impressed O’Neal with her accurate
shooting skill and her ability to attack a
zone defense.
“She plays her best in small spaces,”
said the coach. “She seems to thrive on
the smaller spaces.”
Both girls are also superior at dribbling
coast-to-coast and driving hard to the
rim.
Guirantes takes some time before a tipoff to inspire herself.
“Before a game, I am trying to prepare
mentally,” she said. “To get my team
serious on the game and to play my
hardest; to give 110 percent.”
The Lady Clippers start the new year
with a 4-3 overall record.
Their primary ambition is to earn
success in the county playoffs. O’Neal’s
teams have never won a playoff game,
losing in the opening round each of the
last three seasons.
“He talks to us about playing hard
and not being satisfied and to think of
ourselves as higher [than] in the past,”
said Rountree. “We have a different
mindset than the [previous] teams. In
the past, if we made the playoffs, they
were satisfied. This [2013] team has the
ambition to make it further than the first
round. We have the mentality to pull
it out at the end of games, when it is
important.”
Rountree, who said she may attend
New York University to study nursing,
is averaging a double-double this
season. She and Guirantes also are
talented volleyball players and they
helped boost the 2012 Lady Clippers to
an 18-2 overall record.
Against William Floyd, also playing
major minutes were: sophomore guard
Leekayshia Houpe, junior guard Nicole
Powell, senior guard Synthia Harrison
and senior Sarah Linard.
Other girls on the varsity roster are:
junior guard Tamaya Wilkins, sophomore
Maame Amankwah, sophomore guard
Jasmine Seaton, junior guard Ashley
Morales and junior guard Shina Lingat.
Tony Esposito works as the Bellport
girls’ assistant coach.
The next home game for the Lady
Clippers is Jan. 10, hosting West Babylon
at 6 p.m. ■
BELLPORT BOYS
The Clippers begin the new year hunting their first victory.
The team shows an 0-5 record, 0-3 in the Suffolk League IV standings.
On the roster for coach Peter Grossi are: junior James Arnoth, junior Scott Artis,
senior Thomas Bell, junior John Brown, sophomore Nick Dunning, junior Ronald
Harris, senior Evan Honce, senior Shon Jean-Pierre, junior Nick Kantor, senior
Dylan Overton, senior Thomas Stines and sophomore Andrew Trent.
Kai Watkins works as the boys’ varsity assistant coach.
The Clippers will host Deer Park on Jan. 8 at 6 p.m.
WILLIAM FLOYD
The boys varsity had their six-game winning streak stopped last Saturday with a
59-49 non-league loss against Bay Shore.
Floyd first-year coach Rob Hodgson leads a fast, deep roster. Devin Burney
paced Floyd with 21 points against Bay Shore. Devonte Dixon had 14 points.
The Colonials will compete Jan. 8 at Sachem North. On Jan. 15, William Floyd
will play at Pat-Med.
The Floyd girls dropped to a 1-6 record after losing at Bellport.
“We have trouble scoring points, but the girls are improving,” said Bob O’Driscoll,
in his 11th season as the Floyd head coach. “Our defense has to be better and we
have to pick up our rebounding.”
PATCHOGUE-MEDFORD
After a long holiday break, the Lady Raiders return to action Friday with a
5:45 p.m. home game against the Longwood Lady Lions, the first-place team in
League I.
Pat-Med (2-2 overall) is 1-2 for league games.
The boys varsity has lost its first three league games, and is 1-3 overall.
In the lone victory, Nick Clemente and Luke Meyer each scored 11 points to help
beat West Islip 56-33. Connor Coughlin grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds.

Arella Guirantes helped Bellport to a 65-45 victory over Floyd. On the afternoon she led
all scorers with 26 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, five steals and five blocks.

The following was written by an environmental services employee, Robert Frost who cleans the operating rooms at Brookhaven
Memorial Hospital Medical Center. Mr. Frost wrote this letter to the surgeons, nurses and the many people who work in the
operating rooms. He shared it with them at their annual holiday party. With his permission, we are sharing it with the community
because this is at the core of our Medical Center and the motivating force behind the tremendous effort our entire staff puts
forth in our efforts to serve our community.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Administration, Medical Staff and all the employees of Brookhaven Memorial Hospital
Medical Center, we wish you a happy and health holiday season.
