The restoration of the waterfall at 9/11 Memorial Park is not just a necessary improvement—it is a meaningful tribute to the heroes, families, friends and neighbors we lost on that tragic day. In Smithtown, we made a promise nearly 24 years ago to never forget the lives lost and the extraordinary acts of bravery and selflessness witnessed. This waterfall is more than a peaceful sanctuary for remembrance; it stands as a powerful symbol of that promise. It represents our unwavering unity, faith, and resilience—the same spirit that guided us through our darkest hours and continues to inspire us today,” said Smithtown Town Supervisor Edward R. Wehrheim.
As part of the grant agreement, the Town of Smithtown and National Grid will collaborate to promote the project, highlighting the program and partnership. This initiative will include new public awareness, ceremonial ribbon cutting, and employee engagement opportunities for National Grid staff to participate in the restoration efforts.

The Defendant Faces Up to 25 Years in Prison at Sentencing
Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney announced on March 3 that a Huntington Station man, 33, (who is not being named to avoid indentifying the victim) was found guilty after a jury trial of Assault in the First Degree, Assault in the Second Degree, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child, for beating his girlfriend’s two-year-old daughter causing life-threatening injuries.
“A defenseless two-year-old child was left in critical condition after enduring horrific injuries caused by this defendant under circumstances evincing his depraved indifference to her life,” said District Attorney Tierney. “No parent should ever come home to find their child in such a state, and no child should ever have to endure such heinous abuse. We thank the jury for their time and attention in this case, and we will be seeking the maximum penalty allowable under the law at the defendant’s sentencing.”
The evidence at trial established that between February 17, 2024 and February 19, 2024, the defendant was babysitting his girlfriend’s two-year-old daughter while she went to work and ran errands.
Upon returning home on February 18, 2024, the child’s mother noticed significant bruises on her child’s body, and on February 19, 2024, she noticed that her child had a new, significant bruise on her face, that her child was vomiting profusely, and was unable to stand or respond to her.
The mother brought her child to the emergency room at Huntington Hospital, where it was determined that the child was in critical condition. The child was then transferred to Cohen Children’s Medical Center, where she received emergency surgery to repair a life-threatening injury to her small intestine which was caused by significant blunt force trauma.
On February 28, 2025, the defendant was convicted of the following charges after a jury trial heard before Supreme Court Justice Timothy P. Mazzei:
The defendant is due back in court for sentencing on April 10, 2025, and faces up to 25 years in prison on the top count. He is being represented by Matthew Tuohy, Esq.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Katherine Flinchum and Kirsten Reilly of the Child Abuse and Domestic Violence Bureau, and the investigation was conducted by Detective Christopher Albanese of the Suffolk County Police Department’s Special Victims Section.
