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

Flanagan to lead State Senate GOPe. Northport lawmaker says responsibility of new role includes rebuilding public trust

Chabad at Stony Brook breaks new groundBy BarBara Donlon

The North Shore Jewish community is one step closer to getting its forever home as the groundbreaking ceremony for its new center took root in Stony Brook on Thursday evening.

Rabbi Chaim and his wife Rivkie Grossbaum addressed the eager crowd at the ceremony at R.C. Murphy Junior High School to mark the new Merrin Chabad Jewish Center at Stony Brook, named after Edward and Vivian Merrin, who donated $1 million to the center.

“Our wandering has come to an end,” Chaim Grossbaum said at the ceremony last week. “The Merrin Chabad Jewish Center is the answer.”

Since acquiring its first space at the Lake Grove Jewish Center in 1990, Chabad at Stony Brook has spent much of its last 25 years wondering where it would offer its services. The growing Jewish community was hard to fit in the current center, and it often relied on rental space to get the job done, Gross-baum said.

The current space can fit roughly 80 people, far less than the 400 families Chabad at Stony Brook serves. The new center, now in phase two of the $5.5 mil-lion four-phase project, will be able to accommodate far more families once it is completed, he said.

The new center will have a banquet room, a gym, mikvah and spa, a library, a pool, a santuary and more. The build-ing is expected to open in the summer of 2016, the group said.

“It will pretty much be multiuse in many fashions for the several programs we service the community with,” Gross-baum said in a phone interview.

The center will offer Hebrew school, preschool, summer camp and other school programs. According to layout plans, there will be five preschool rooms and two regular classrooms.

The new center will be right in the

heart of the Three Village community it serves, Grossbaum said. The center will also have a hospitality suite for the Jew-ish community taking care of sick loved ones at Stony Brook University Hospital, the group said.

The rabbi said he is hoping the center attracts new families to help Chabad at Stony Brook grow exponentially.

“We want to give them reasons to want to go,” Grossbaum said. “It’s hard to create atmosphere in a rental space.”

The rabbi highlighted many of the dif-ficulties the group experienced while go-ing from place to place over the last 25 years. He said the center would help ex-pand on everything they currently offer to enhance services.

Sheila Skolnick, an attendee at Chabad at Stony Brook, said the center’s kind and welcoming atmosphere would draw many people into the new center. Skol-nick along with many others said she is eagerly waiting for the new center to be built.

“The Merrin Center will be our place and we’ll know where to go,” Skolnick said. “It’s really a place for Jews to con-gregate from all over.”

Construction of the new center is ex-pected to begin shortly. Kevin Harney of Stalco Construction is leading the proj-ect and John Tsunis of Gold Coast Bank is financing it.

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.”

in a statement. “I thank my colleagues for the confidence they have placed in me. With this job comes a responsibility to lead and to listen, 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. DeFrancisco (R-Syra-cuse), who was vying for the majority posi-tion, spoke to Flana-gan’s appointment 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,” La-Valle said. “John Flanagan has great intellect, great energy and he has a won-

derful, 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 statement. “Flanagan has a track record for getting

things done in the Senate and working with law-makers 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.”

Selden-Centereach-3 Villages Little League held their opening day ceremonies at the Levitt Ballfield Complex in Centereach on April 25.

Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) and Suf-folk County Legislator Tom Muratore (R-Ronkonk-

oma) were on hand to participate in the ceremony. “Everyone knows that spring is here when it’s

opening day for Little League,” LaValle said. “Good luck to the boys and girls who will be playing, and I wish them all a successful season.”

On April 11, Eagle Scout candidate Aidan Donnelly and fellow scouts from Boy Scout Troop 362 and Pack 362 held a pancake breakfast fundraiser at the Centereach Fire Department headquar-ters for Donnelly’s Eagle Scout service project.

Donnelly is a Life Scout and Patrol Leader with Troop 362 and a Webelos den chief for Pack 362, who wants to erect an osprey nest at West Meadow Beach. Ospreys are also known as fish eagles, sea hawks, river hawks or fish hawks, and they typically nest in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply.

“Having valid living space for the osprey is extremely im-portant to our environment. Because of the overwhelming support of Brookhaven Town, PSEG and the community, the osprey will have a chance to build a safe home and contin-ue to make a comeback in our world,” Donnelly said.

Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) attended the event.

“Osprey[s] are an integral part of the West Meadow Beach ecosystem and another nest is a welcome addition,” Cartright

stated. “Aidan exemplifies the Boy Scout principles and his work is an asset to the Council District 1 community.”

On May 5, Brookhaven’s Se-nior Softball League opened its season at Percy B. Raynor Memo-rial Park in Centereach. Supervi-sor Ed Romaine (R) and Council-woman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) were on hand to throw out the first pitches for the 68 and over league.

The Town of Brookhaven Se-nior Softball program began in 1982 and consists of two leagues, 60 and over and 68 and over. The league starts during the spring and continues into the summer. Both leagues play on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 a.m.

Romaine said, “It’s always fun to join with the players on opening day because their en-thusiasm for [the] game is so inspiring. These are truly the ‘boys of summer’ and I wish them all a successful season.”

Brookhaven’s seniors ready play ball, tooJoel Joles

Joel William Joles, 70, of Selden, died on March 30.

He was born on April 3, 1944, in Watertown, the son of Paul and Gladys Joles.

Joel was a retired Suffolk County police officer, who was a big Mets and Jets fan.

He is survived by his chil-dren, Debbie, Stacy and Bry-

an; 11 grandchildren; one great-grandchild; his sister; and many other family mem-bers and friends.

Arrangements were en-trusted to Bryant Funeral Home in Setauket where funeral services were held. Committal services were private.

These Mad Dogs made history.The Middle Country girls’ lacrosse team

finished a perfect season Friday with a 17-13 win over Smithtown West, to go unde-feated for the first time in district history.

“The girls played awesome today, and honestly, at practice yesterday, we didn’t even talk about being undefeated,” Middle Country head coach Lindsay Dolson said. “These girls are smart, great lacrosse players. I don’t do much but steer the ship. Now we’re back to 0-0, and let the playoffs begin.”

Division I.The Mad Dogs were off to a strong

start as usual, lighting up the scoreboard and rattling off seven un-answered goals before Smithtown West put its first point on the board. Each team scored four more goals in the first half, to bring the score

to 11-5 heading into the break.“Every game we’re growing, we’re

coming together and our chemistry is amazing on and off the field,” senior midfielder and attack Nikki Ortega said. “We’re best friends off the field, and it re-ally shows when we play on the field. I’m so proud of the team, and it’s really all come together.”

Ortega got the ball rolling in the sec-ond half after senior goalkeeper Ashley

Miller made a big save. Ortega passed the ball to classmate Allison DiPaola, who knocked a shot in early for the 12-5 advantage.

Senior midfielder Christine Gironda continued to aid the Mad Dogs in gain-ing possession off the draw, which helped her team continue to score and maintain its lead.

“Momentum is everything in this game, and winning the draws gave us so much more momentum and really put us up,” Ortega said.

Ortega continued a series of strong assists when she passed the ball to her younger sister, Jamie, a sophomore mid-fielder, and Miller followed with two saves to keep the Bulls at bay.

“That’s not how they play — they were definitely intimidated, without a doubt,” Smithtown West head coach Carie Bodo said of her team. “I think they put so

‘Momentum is everything in this game, and winning the draws gave us so much more momentum and really put us up.’

“Once you have your first save down you have the adrenaline to keep going,” Miller said. “We all try to stay positive and we don’t get down on each other, but bring each other up. I feel like we have good motion going on, and we’re going to keep it going.”

Nikki Ortega finished the game with four goals and five assists, while Jamie Ortega also finished with nine points, off five goals and four assists. Be-hind DiPaola’s hat trick was sophomore Ava Barry and eighth-grader Sophie Alois with two goals. Sophomore mid-fielder Amanda Masullo tacked on a goal and an assist, and her twin sister Rachel rounded out the scoring with an assist, while Miller finished with a game-high eight saves.

“It’s something I never dreamed of ever doing,” Nikki Ortega said of going undefeat-ed. “Although it puts a lot of pressure on us for playoffs, it’s the most incredible feeling.”

She feels her team still needs to work on being more com-posed, especially when its oppo-nent applies pressure and comes

back in a game. However, she thinks her team has what it takes to go further than its semifinal appearance last season.

“We have to keep our heads up,” she said. “Every game I play like it’s my last. This is how I’d want to end my season and my career at Middle Country. I think if there was any year that we could go all the way, it’s this year.”

much pressure on themselves, but in the second half, they were pissed, and they came out and played, and we outscored [Mid-dle Country] in the second half.”

It took a little while for the Bulls to find their groove, and after Nikki Ortega scored off an assist from her younger sister to make the score 16-6 with 15:45 left to play, Smithtown West came back to score five unan-swered goals — two by sopho-

more midfielder Kayla Ko-subinsky — and force Middle Country to call a timeout.

“I think in the second half we really stepped it up,” Kosubin-sky said. “I think we needed to figure out what we needed to do quicker in the game before there wasn’t much time left, but these girls are amazing and every per-son has their own role on this team and I think we all work so good together.”

The Mad Dogs regrouped in their huddle.

“This’ll show how much you want it,” Nikki Ortega said to her team. “If we want it, we’ll win.”

Jamie Ortega dished the ball to DiPaola for her hat trick goal, and although the Bulls tacked on two more, Miller made two more stops, leaving the Mad Dogs with an undefeated sea-son at 16-0 with a 14-0 mark in conference play.

OPINION

EDITORIALPraise for taking action now

If you haven’t yet read The Post and Courier’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-opening, 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 com-mend our representatives for not just standing by.

The Suffolk County Legislature unanimously approved a pilot pro-gram on Tuesday that would provide 30 new GPS tracking devices for fam-ily 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 track-ing 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 strength-en county laws relating to domestic violence.

While some may question the use of tracking devices, giving the discre-tion to judges allows us to evaluate each case on an individual basis. That would hopefully limit the GPS system to the most dangerous of-

fenders and prevent us from violating anyone’s constitutional 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 conservatively, the devices could help give domestic 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

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.
