Village

From waitress to business owner: 20 years at Pasta Pasta

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Debra Bowling, the new owner of Pasta Pasta in Port Jefferson village, knows the customers who walk through the old wood doors. She herself started 20 years ago as a waitress and has kept loyal to the restaurant ever since. Now, after two decades, she’s in charge. However, despite owning the restaurant, she expects she will still continue to wait tables. “That’s not going to change,” Bowling, a Setauket resident, said. She was almost successful at suppressing a laugh. “We still have two kids in college, so I really put a lot of hours in here. I said if I’m going to work so hard, I might as well work for myself.” The restaurant serves what the new owner described as American food with an Italian flavor, providing everything from fish to pasta to salads. The eatery is also famous for its flaky and moist garlic bread. Previous owners Steve Sands and Jules Buitron bought Pasta Pasta back in 1998, already owning another restaurant on the South Shore. Sands said they already knew and liked the Port Jeff restaurant, back when its menu was limited to pizza and pasta, so they decided to purchase it and bring in Bowling, who was at that time

planning on moving to the North Shore. Once Sands and Buitron decided they wanted to sell, Bowling was the first person they talked to about buying the restaurant. “She’s a hard worker, she knows the business and she knows the customers,” Sands said. “She’s got a great team. Much of the kitchen crew has been there before we even bought the restaurant.” Sands said he still plans to visit the restaurant when he can. “The reason I bought it because it’s always been my favorite restaurant,” he said. That doesn’t mean it’s not a big transition for Bowling and her family. The new restaurant owner’s husband Jerry is also there on a regular basis where he can be seen manning the phone and helping with whatever needs doing.

So much of Bowling’s life has been spent at the restaurant, and her children have also moved through the restaurant as a part of growing up. “Five of my six kids have worked here, and two of them still work here,” the restaurant owner said. While many have moved on, the kids have been supportive of their mother’s new venture, with her son Ryan Burns posting a heartwarming social media message to his mother saying how much she inspired him. And even with these new expectations laid on her shoulders, Bowling still has two families to assist her, one at home and one at work, including kitchen manager Anthony Vadala, who has helped Bowling and her team throughout the years. Now with her running the show those two families are more intertwined than ever.

“We’re all a family here, the kitchen staff has been here before me,” she said. “Most of the waitresses were here between 10 and 15 years.” Bowling intends to keep the food and the atmosphere the same as it has been, though she does have a few design changes in mind, including some new paint on the walls, new bathrooms and replacing the windows up front so they can be swung open on atmospheric summer evenings. The customers who have gone to the restaurant for years probably couldn’t accept too much change, and there are quite a few regulars. Even before she owned the restaurant, Bowling was a well-known face to her multitudes of regular customers, often those who have their own set of menus internalized in the minds of the Pasta Pasta staff. Some of those longtime customers who constantly travel make it a point to stop in her restaurant, even going out of their way to call ahead of time and beg the restaurant for a bowl of pasta, the kind the restaurant staff knows they like in particular. Baby showers have been hosted in the restaurant, and just last year, the restaurant hosted a wedding as well. “On New Year’s Eve we had a wedding here,” Bowling said. “They met on their first date here on New Year’s Eve two years ago. She met here, she has to get married here ... That’s just from them getting to know us over the years.”

Port Jeff school district analyses impact of LIPA decision BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM While the Port Jefferson School District is preparing its budget for the 2019-20 school year, the shadow of LIPA still hangs over the small school district. Superintendent Paul Casciano said the LIPA outcome, at least in terms of drafting next year’s budget, was not as bad as it could have been. “It was translated by the town to be on the assessment rather than our payments,” he said. “With the glide path it gets more challenging later on, but we have time to make adjustments.” In December 2018, the Town of Brookhaven settled with LIPA over the tax assessment of the Port Jefferson power station whose white and red smokestacks can be seen almost anywhere near the harbor. LIPA filed a lawsuit almost a decade ago against both Brookhaven and the Town of Huntington saying its plants in Port Jeff and Northport have been overassessed by millions of dollars and were seeking a 50 percent reduction. The settlement decision agreed to lower LIPA’s assessments by 50 percent over a nine-year period from $32.6 million to $16.8 million starting with the 2017-18 tax year. Even after the settlement, district officials said

the Port Jefferson School District would have the second lowest school tax rates compared to others in Brookhaven Town, only being beaten by Riverhead. The district, going into the ninth year of the settlement, would have a tax rate approximately 100 less than the average of non-Port Jefferson school rates, according to the district. The school district, along with several village residents, feared what a 50 percent reduction could do to school taxes. Casciano, along with Deputy Superintendent Sean Leister, hosted a special meeting for district residents where they estimated a tax rate of 159 in the 2019-20 school year, and an estimated 243 by the 202627 school year. If local revenues remain flat and with their expected tax levy cap sitting at 1.18 percent, the district expects their current $43.9 million budget will adjust to a $44.1 million rollover budget next school year, an increase of $232,930 if the district maintains all current programming and staff. The current school tax levy — the money a school makes in local area taxes — of $36,434,479 would jump to $37,075,627, more than the schools expected 1.2 percent tax cap. Leister said this would mean reductions, but the district is currently in the process of creating the upcoming school year’s draft budget.

STOP Suffering With Pain! We Can Help.

“We haven’t identified those reductions yet,” Leister said. “We are going to take the next few weeks to see if it can be done through efficiencies: We have to identify what our enrollment looks like, what our student interest looks like and what our scheduling looks like.” Casciano said this difference is minimal, and it can be made up on the school’s end by tighter budgeting. “If the community stays in support of the district, it won’t be as dramatic,” the superintendent said. “If the school has to absorb the entire cost of the tax loss, it will be.” Before news of the settlement, residents had proposed that the district combine with other area districts, but Leister said that combining with a district like Comsewogue or Mount Sinai would overall increase tax rates. Port Jefferson’s estimated tax rate in the 2019-20 school year is 159 compared to Comsewogue’s 262, assuming an annual levy increase of 2 percent, or under the New York State tax cap. While the difference is minimal for this school year, the district said the glide path of LIPA’s assessment reduction ramps up over time. While the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years see a 3.5 percent reduction, later years show reductions going up to 7.5 and 8.25 percent.

Todd Pittinsky, a Port Jeff resident and professor in the Department of Technology and Society at Stony Brook University, said it would behoove the district to think long term when it comes to the reductions over time, and not make those cuts more drastic when the reductions start to increase dramatically. “A cynic would look at it and say you’re just trying to dampen any resistance in the short term and pushing it back,” Pittinsky said. “I would hope that the effort is one-eighth each year. The formula you are using is going to push back the pain of dislocation or relocation, and it would be very easy to think that other decision makers will be in this role.”

Divide over Suffolk County’s fiscal health Executive Steve Bellone, Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. offer differing view of what the financial future holds BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM When asked to critically examine Suffolk County’s finances and what lies ahead for residents, our executive branch and accounting officials couldn’t be further divided on their vision of the future. Suffolk Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) said out of the $410 million operating note the county sought to sell for 2019 operating funds only half, or $207 million, could be competitively sold in December. Instead, he had to rely on a negotiated agreement with Bank of America to give the funds needed to run the county’s government at an interest rate of 2.35 percent. “This has been one of the toughest times we’d had in the market since I’ve taken office,” Kennedy said. The county comptroller, since 2015, said it was a combination of factors that negatively impacted Suffolk: seeking funding later than normal, stock market uncertainty and, perhaps most importantly, that Moody’s downgrading the county’s bond rating from A3 to Baa1. “We are barred from being purchased by many major investment funds,” Kennedy said, citing Fidelity and T. Rowe Price Group won’t invest. “We are in some very strenuous times.” Eric Naughton, Suffolk’s budget director, said while the county’s bond rating was dropped the comptroller was “overstating” its impact and meaning. “[Moody’s investors] are looking at the past,” he said. “They are not looking at what is happening in the future.” Naughton cited how Suffolk Executive Steve Bellone (D) has implemented many structural changes since taking office in 2012 including reducing the county’s workforce by approximately 1,200 employees, closed John J. Foley nursing home in Yaphank that was losing money and creating the Traffic and Parking Violations Agency to bring in additional funds. Kennedy countered that from March 2012 to September 2018 Moody’s has downgraded the county’s bond rating by five ranks. “We need to change how county government operates,” the comptroller said. Suffolk is not likely to see the state takeover of the county’s government like Nassau

according to Kennedy, in good part because the county has about half the outstanding debt of neighboring Nassau — a sentiment with which Naughton agreed. The comptroller suggested that in order to avoid dire straits, Suffolk officials should move to consolidate by merging county offices with similar functions, encourage shared services among municipalities, reduce its workforce, evaluate and sell off surplus property where possible, like the former Suffolk County Police 6th Precinct building in Coram. Jason Elan, a spokesman for Bellone, said the county executive has done just that. Under Bellone, the county treasurer and comptroller positions were merged, as were four departments made into two: Labor and Consumer Affairs and Economic Development and Planning. Bellone made county employees contribute 15 percent to their health insurance premiums while taking a pay freeze himself, at an estimated savings of more than $300,000. Further, Suffolk’s workforce has been reduced and, according to Naughton, county-operated land and property is being evaluated to see if it can be deemed surplus. “Structural changes were needed and these structural changes were adopted,” Bellone’s spokesman said, noting Kennedy voted against or opposed many of the measures. What looms ahead for Suffolk is negotiation of a new contract with the Police Benevolent Association. Kennedy said at a current cost of $573 million per year, the police contract is the largest item in the county’s $3.11 billion 2019 budget followed by roughly $451 million for county employee’s health insurance. “If we are not focused on actively managing those expenditures in both categories, we might as well shut off the lights and go home,” he said. In fact, it’s not just the police but all of the county’s employee contracts have expired. Elan said Bellone would not comment on the status of PBA negotiations. Rather he said the county’s greatest opportunity lies in furthering its economic development, like the proposed Ronkonkoma Hub and other projects that will bring businesses to the area. These issues are some that are expected to be addressed by Bellone when he gives his annual State of the County per tradition in May.

New businesses arrive in Port Jefferson village

BY KYLE BARR AND KARINA GERRY KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The winds of change have began to blow in Port Jefferson village as the new year brings a host of changes to the area’s small businesses. A few restaurants in the area are closing. Japanese restaurant Oceans 88, famous for its sushi bar, planned to be closed Jan. 31. Owners did not respond for requests to comment. “There’s no more sushi in the village, that’s a real shame,” said village Mayor Margot Garant. Though not all is bad as a number of new shops, both new names and old names, take shape all around the village.

Billie’s 1890 Saloon

Billie’s 1890 Saloon, a Port Jefferson staple, has reopened its doors after a kitchen fire forced it to close two years ago. The bar and restaurant located on Main Street is back in business under its original ownership. Founded in 1981 by Billie E. Phillips and his late first wife, Billie’s 1890 Saloon soon became a community favorite. In 1987, after six years, Phillips sold his business, but after the fire in June of 2016 he purchased the restaurant and bar back with his son, Billie S. Phillips, and set about renovating the space. While the layout of Billie’s has remained relatively the same, the crowd has changed. “It’s a more grown-up establishment,” Phillips Jr. said. “The same tables, and bar length and everything like that but it’s just been cleaned up and refurbished and we’re just going for a little more of an adult crowd than what it had turned

out to be before the fire.” Before the 2016 fire, Billie’s was considered a college bar, tailoring to the younger crowd with its infamous wheel, which was spun every hour and wherever the wheel landed was the drink that would be offered at a reduced price. Now, it has an age limit of 23, pushing away the crowd that made it so popular before. “The new Billie’s seems to have a very different vibe,” Christopher Gulino, a former East Setauket resident said. “The renovations look great, but I think the customers that were regularly going to Billie’s when it was previously opened were looking forward to seeing the same old Billie’s.” While the younger crowd may not be too happy with the changes to Billie’s, Phillips Jr. said they were necessary for the business to succeed. “Billie’s had become the local meeting place and people have very fond memories of it,” Billie the younger said. “But I don’t think the business model they had would have survived much longer.”

New shop from East Main & Main Food lovers can rejoice as one of the owners of East Main & Main is opening a new restaurant in Port Jefferson village. Lisa Harris and her husband Robert Strehle opened the popular donut shop in June 2017, offering customers new flavors of donuts daily. After the success of the donut shop, Harris is ready to take on a new solo venture, a restaurant that offers brunch, lunch, dinner and shareable appetizers. “It’s always been my dream to own a restaurant and run a restaurant,” Lisa Harris said.

“It just seemed like the natural next step — it seemed like it was something that we were ready to take a chance.” The new restaurant is slated to open around the end of February on Main Street. Harris said she plans for the space to have a casual comfortable vibe. “We didn’t have to do any building, any construction, or anything like that,” Harris noted. “We were very lucky because the restaurant there had pretty much everything we needed, it was just something we had to make our own by changing the color scheme and doing a lot of cleaning.” Harris plans on having some crossover between the staff at the donut shop and the new restaurant, but she is also looking to hire a full-time crew. “So we will be creating some new jobs,” Harris said. “Probably seven to 10 new jobs will be created in Port Jefferson, which will be great.” While rumors have been making their rounds that East Main & Main is closing, Harris assures that’s not the case. “We’re not moving the donut shop,” Harris said. “The donut shop is staying right where it is.” And if donuts are more your thing, don’t worry, as Harris insists her and her husband are open to the idea of opening up another space somewhere else if the right opportunity comes along. “It’s finding the right spot is always a challenge,” Harris said. “We’re kind of so spoiled here because of the foot traffic that we get. It’s just always exciting and fun, so we’re looking

A new clothing shop that just opened Jan. 26 in Chandler Square is looking to attract women of all shapes and sizes with a fashion-forward, inclusive ideal. Renee Goldfarb, the owner of Origin of Era, is a Long Island native but has spent much of her life living in Queens and Brooklyn and abroad while working in the fashion industry. “I worked in film and fashion for 15 years — moved abroad and worked in Prague and Berlin. I worked in two corporations in branding, but I didn’t want to make money for anyone else anymore, I wanted to do it for myself,” she said. The owner opened and operated another store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, for several years before she and her husband bought a home in Amityville Harbor. When coming to Long Island Goldfarb wanted to find a town that had the same sense of community she originally felt in that city neighborhood. Her selection was between Babylon village and Port Jeff village, but she chose the latter because she said the elected officials had small businesses in mind, especially with events like the annual Charles Dickens Festival. While she said her previous store focused on vintage clothing, her new shop emphasizes the modern. In terms of her clothing selection, Goldfarb supplies sizes from extra small to extra-large, and offers free alterations to any items purchased in the store. The brand selection encompasses companies from the U.S., Spain, the U.K., India and China, though she stressed she only selected ethically produced clothing. Most important in her selection, she said, was the emphasis on getting clothing only designed by women. “If I owned a woman’s store I would make sure we represented all women and made it inclusive,” Goldfarb siad. “That’s why I wanted to make sure we only carried female designers ... If we think logically, we are catering to women, nobody knows women best but a woman.”

Francis Wakeham

Francis Thomas Wakeham of Warminster, Pennsylvania, and formerly of Port Jeffer-

son, died Jan. 25 surrounded by his family. He was 78. Born in Brooklyn, Frank was the husband of Catharine Ledwith Ashley Wakeham and the son of the late Francis Joseph and Minnie Bickford Wakeham. Wakeham was known for his kind eyes, his welcoming smile, comforting hugs, his easy-going sense of humor, indomitable spirit, limitless work ethic and his generous heart. His life was grounded in his faith and love for his family and friends. As a child growing up in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and as a young man working construction in New York, Frank learned to work hard, appreciate his blessings and take care of those around him. In 1965 Frank married the love of his life, Cathy, for whom his love only grew over the following 53 years. Throughout his life his passion for his family, his ability to find joy in every experience, his humble generosity and the safety and security of his welcoming chest and sheltering embrace touched many hearts and created many treasured memories. Frank was preceded in death by his brother Thomas Wakeham. In addition to his wife Catharine, Frank is survived by his loving and devoted children Francis G. Wakeham (Nancy) of Virginia Beach, Virginia; Frederick M. Wakeham (Toni) of Corpus Christi, Texas; Ann “Nan” G. DeGraw of Southampton, Pennsylvania; Paul T. Wakeham of Doylestown, Pennsylvania; Catharine “Kit” M. Sullivan (Ryan) of Huntington; and Ashley E. Pitts (Tim) of Bexley, Ohio.

Universal Pre-K coming to Comsewogue

Port Jefferson Middle School students explore makerspaces

Beginning this September, the Comsewogue School District, pending passage of the New York State budget, will be offering a half-day prekindergarten program. The district will be conducting a lottery to determine which students will be attending prekindergarten in September. The lottery will be held in July at the district office, with a date and time still to be determined. Applications will be mailed to all district residents in the beginning of May. Applications

Port Jefferson Middle School students are engaging in the new makerspace in the Middle School/High School library. Students have the opportunity to build simple machines and will apply their own ideas and creativity to design other simple, maker-inspired projects. They also gain the skills of communication, collaboration and problem-solving, important requirements for working in makerspaces. The space is being piloted for Middle School students during lunch periods, becoming a pop-

ular place for teamwork and inspiration, according to library media specialist Mary LaSita. PJSD

will also be available in the main office of each of the district’s six schools as well as the main district office located in the rear of Norwood Avenue Elementary School at 290 Norwood Avenue, Port Jefferson Station. Completed applications are due back to the district office no later than May 31. Any questions can be sent to Deputy Superintendent Jennifer Quinn at 631-4748110. The contact for the district office is 631474-8100.

Southampton Mariners outscore Port Jeff Royals BY BILL LANDON

The Port Jefferson boys basketball team had their hands full when Southampton came knocking Jan. 28. The Royals were able to stay within striking distance for the first 16 minutes, but the Mariners poured it on in the second half outscoring the Royals by 30 points to put the game away 99-56. Atop the leaderboard for the Royals was eighth-grader Mano Idir with 15 points. Seniors Grant Calendrille and Jonathan Bachman netted 12 and 11, respectively, and

eighth-grader Drew Feinstein banked eight. The Royals retake the court Jan. 31 on the road against John Glenn searching for that elusive league victory with three games remaining. Game time is 6:00 p.m. Photos clockwise from top: Port Jefferson eighth-grader Mano Idir looks for an open lane; senior Jonathan Bachman scores from the paint netting two of his 11 points; Port Jeff’s John Shields shoots from the outside; senior Grant Calendrille takes flight for the score; eighth-grader Drew Feinstein lets a 3-pointer fly.

Opinion

Editorial Never again

The U.S. government declared a ceasefire in a war against itself Jan. 25. The three-week agreement to end the 35-day government shutdown is a compromise to lower the guns so the two sides can talk but, if anything, the weapons are still loaded. If it were a real agreement, it wouldn’t have been given a deadline. That’s what the whole government shutdown has felt like, a war, and like any modern war, the people who are hurt most are the civilians caught in the crossfire. The number of people affected has been reported so often, but it is worth repeating. There were some 800,000 federal workers who were furloughed or forced to work without pay during the government closure, the longest shutdown in this nation’s history. Last week, TBR News Media reported on businesses who assisted those federal workers by providing free food and services. Some of those shops received 200, 300 or more people in a single weekend seeking help, and those same business owners spent hundreds of out-of-pocket dollars to help feed people. Organizations that usually create food kitchens for the holiday season or during national disasters organized for the thousands affected. Even though the shutdown is over, major news outlets report workers do not know when they will receive their full back pay. Federal watchdogs said it might take the IRS a full year to recover from the lingering effects of the shutdown. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report Jan. 28 saying the shutdown cost the U.S. economy $11 billion, $3 million of which it will never recover. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump (R) said the likelihood of reaching a deal is less than 50 percent. That’s not good enough. This government shutdown was a hostage situation, and we at TBR News Media believe it should not become a regular political tool to hang the U.S. economy up by its lapels until it coughs up whatever an individual or political body desires. Another modern country has experienced a shutdown in the past. In 1975, Australia was unable to pass a budget. That shutdown resulted in first, the prime minister getting sacked then later the entire parliament was sacked as well, and a new vote was required to help reform the government. Australia has not had a government shutdown since. The U.S. requires legislation that mandates some sort of repercussion for politicians that force, or allow, a shutdown to occur. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) announced at the start of the closure he would not take any pay while government workers went without. That is a good start, and it should be codified and expanded to include every elected official in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Residents should call upon their elected representatives, like Zeldin, to propose disciplinary measures once the dust of this political wrangling finally settles. While those who work in Congress won’t necessarily feel the pain and indecency that those who have lived without paychecks for several weeks had to endure, it might remind them they were elected to help — not harm — those they swore to represent.

Letters to the editor

PJ Village remains strong after LIPA Life within the 11777 ZIP Code is about to get real. For decades we were subsidized by the Long Island Power Authority’s overassessed power plant. Assessed at more than $1 billion, the plant represented upward of half of the assessment roll which, in layman’s terms, means that half our tax revenue each year came from the power plant property. If a price tag were put on the old iron plant today, experts argue its value could be as low as $300 million. Anyone can easily figure out that means the plant is greatly overassessed. Fighting this widely publicized tax grievance case for over eight years, it shocks me how many people still are unaware of the fact that the Village of Port Jefferson and the Town of Brookhaven finalized a settlement in late 2018. The terms of settlement shelter us from having to pay back taxes — taxes collected during the six-year-long court battle — while also providing a glide path moving forward over the next eight years during which the 50 percent reduction of tax revenue can be absorbed. Currently, the school district and PJ Village are preparing budgets in year

two of the glide path, and are preparing to offset a loss upward of 7 to 8 percent of the annual revenue. The Port Jefferson community is strong with lifelong residents who take pride in preserving and strengthening our legacies and the traditions which make Port Jefferson a truly unique place in which to live and work. We have done a fine job building programs while preserving our legacies and cultural traditions. Each agency has worked within our individual silos, head to desk, sleeves rolled up, concentrating on the ins and outs of the daily operations to make sure our streets were plowed and paved, our schools are blue ribbon, our fire department ready to respond, the EMS equipped to save lives and our library able to provide services to both young and old. I have complete faith that we will continue to grow and excel as a premier village of the North Shore despite the adjustments we will all have to make. In the early years of our glide path, now is the time to come together to do proper assessments, identify resources and assets, and avoid duplication of services to ensure

that all needs are being met before any cuts are made to programs and staffing. Yes, we are prepared to pay more — but how much more and where’s the ceiling? Since we are all striving to pull from the same wallet, let’s make sure we are not pitting one program against another, and that we are utilizing our existing assets, parks, gyms, community centers, libraries and community spaces as efficiently and as effectively as possible before we make new expenditures or build new walls. Let’s come out of our silos to work together, plan and build. To offset and preserve. To create and save. We have the opportunity to strive to be better and come together as the home team. We owe this to each other, to our children and our grandparents. Where there is a will, there is a way. I believe Port Jefferson will always be the preferred place to live and create a family because we have the opportunity now to shape our own destiny, enriching tomorrow by saving today and working together, united in Royal pride. Mayor Margot J. Garant Port Jefferson Village

The data involved in climate change Michael Imperato in his letter, “Another view on global warming,” in The Port Times Record Jan. 24 correctly criticizes George Altemose’s letter “A personal view of global warming” in the Jan. 17 edition for invoking a baseless conspiracy theory to accuse 97 percent of climate scientists of dishonestly fudging facts to further a left-wing agenda. Scientifically, Altemose makes five assertions: 1. He accepts that global warming is occurring. 2. But industrial activity has nothing to do with it. 3. Variations in the sun’s energy output are primarily responsible. 4. Water vapor drives the greenhouse effect. 5. The piddling increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, 0.041 percent (410 parts per million) in 2018, “slightly” higher than 0.028 percent in 1800, is negligible. Now, we’re not talking geologic time, but 60 years of accelerating increase in CO2 (1958, 315 ppm; 1990, 350 ppm; 2018, 410 ppm) while Earth’s

average surface temperature rose by 1.39 degrees Fahrenheit (0.77 Celsius) from 1951 to 1980, and 2.09 F (1.16 C) over 1800 (Newsday, p. A32, Jan. 25), while the only variation in sun output has been the 11-year sunspot cycle, and the past five, hottest, years are in fact in a solar minimum. The greenhouse effect that makes Earth habitable depends entirely on “trace” gases: chiefly water vapor, CO2, methane, nitrous oxide. The major gases, nitrogen, oxygen and argon (99-plus percent) are transparent to both visible and infrared light and have no role. All objects warmer than absolute zero (0 Kelvin, -273.15 C) radiate energy, the white-hot sun as visible light, the cool Earth as middle infrared radiation. Tropospheric trace gases absorb this IR and re-emit it in all directions, half into space, half back to Earth, warming it. More gases, more back-radiation, more warming. Water vapor already

absorbs nearly all the IR radiation it can in IR windows, equilibrates daily and is beyond our control. CO2 and especially methane still have much absorptive capacity in their windows, accumulate and stick around — CO2 for 100 years, methane for 20. The data for annual industrial production of coal, oil, natural gas (methane) and cement are well known, and so is the resulting CO2 production: about 30-36 billion tonnes (gigatonnes) annually since 1990. Atmospheric CO2 (7.8 Gt/ppm) increased by 469 Gt, less than total industrial input. Modeling the effects of indisputable global warming is complicated, given multiple variables, but we already see the predicted extreme weather variations: more drought, fires and heat waves, frigid winter southward-moving polar vortices, more and more intense hurricanes.

Opinion

My take on four popular movies

he film “Bohemian Rhapsody” is far better than the critics suggest, while “Green Book” isn’t as deep or powerful as it could be. After watching four movies recently, including “Aquaman” and “Mary Poppins Returns,” I want to share my reactions to each of these films. Featuring my favorite superhero, “Aquaman” had the opportunity to inspire and deD. None moralize me at the of the above same time. The BY DANIEL DUNAIEF movie was going to be a CGI (computer-generated imagery) extravaganza, with numerous impossible-to-imagine scenes filmed underwater. I don’t generally crave spectacular and splashy visuals, especially if they are de-

signed to compensate for a weak script or disappointing acting. Unfortunately for the water hero, the CGI was considerably more polished than the script, with attempts at humorous dialogue that were so underwhelming that it was tempting to urge the actors to stop talking and continue to swim through the scenery. Nonetheless, the movie did have its escapist and captivating elements. Perhaps the best way to enjoy a movie like this is not to think too much and to appreciate the ride. The spectacular visual spectacle almost merited the effort of seeing the movie on a large screen, instead of waiting for it to appear on a movie channel in a few months time. Making a “Mary Poppins” sequel immediately asks the film to build on its successes, while introducing something new and engaging in its own right. The film succeeded on the first front, but fell a bit short, at least for me, on the second. Emily Blunt captured Mary’s supreme self-confidence, and magic magnificently. She took an iconic character owned

by Julie Andrews and made it her own. The animated sequences, which were more lavish and extended than in the original, helped the movie create its own indelible images. The lyrics to the songs, however, weren’t quite as memorable as the original, at least for me. “Green Book” maneuvers through the societal challenges that arise from a white driver who is transporting an African-American pianist, Don Shirley, through the South for performances in 1962. The movie feels important because it addresses bias and stereotypes during a period when the struggle for Civil Rights took root. Set against racial tensions, the ﬁlm addresses the developing relationship between its two stars and has moments of tenderness and transformation for the duo at the heart of the story. It also addresses the remarkable contradiction between white society eager to enjoy the talents of an African-American entertainer and the inability of that same audience to respect the person as an equal. Still, the movie felt like it could have been so much more. The ﬁlm shows details of the

life story of the driver Tony Lip, played with his usual energy and passion by Viggo Mortensen. Shirley, portrayed by Mahershala Ali, tells the background of his life. The movie would have benefited from a deeper and better understanding of Shirley’s life, which, some members of his family have suggested was different from the portrayal in the film. That leads me to “Bohemian Rhapsody.” I didn’t know a great deal about the musicians or their backstory. For me, the film was an enormous hit for two reasons: Rami Malek, who played lead singer Freddie Mercury, and the music itself. Malek embodied the energy, spirit, and unique character that was Mercury, parading around the stage, commanding every scene and blending bravado with an underlying vulnerability. The story doesn’t turn Mercury into a saint but, rather, shares his complicated life. For fans of Queen’s music, the movie is a satisfying compilation of familiar hits that allow the legend of a wildly successful group to resonate.

is a challenge to good health. Writer Brody recommends portion control rather than dieting and deprivation as the solution. I like that. The second article, serving to scold me, is titled “Cut Added Sugars, Study Suggests,” by Anahad O’Connor. This is a problem for me because I have a well-honed sweet tooth. Yes I can eliminate sugar in my coffee or tea, but my downfall is my passion for sauces. And sauces are often loaded with sugar — added sugar that the article proclaims a no-no. If you read the ingredients on any packaged food, you will be surprised to find often that sugar is one of the first five listed. Don’t buy it. Yogurts, sauces, salad dressings and bread — yes, bread — can have added sugar. Fruit juices, soft drinks and other sweet drinks have sugar. They can be replaced with unsweetened ice tea, milk and, best of all, water. The sugar found naturally in fruit is fine. It’s the added stuff that can cause a devastating condition known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which may cause the liver to swell with dangerous levels of fat. This raises the risk of

type 2 diabetes and heart disease that can even progress to liver cancer, cirrhosis and the need for a liver transplant. A recent randomized study of children with fatty liver disease was able to substantially reduce liver fat in only eight weeks on a low sugar diet, O’Connor wrote. Solution: Read the labels on the food you buy and avoid added sugars. For me, that means limited amounts of (sob!) sauces. The other good news article talked about the value of short bursts of exercise. “Treating Exercise Like a Snack” by Gretchen Reynolds extols the virtue of walking up stairs several times a day. “As little as 20 seconds of brisk stair climbing, done several times a day, might be enough exercise to improve ﬁtness,” concludes a new study on interval-style training. These are instant workouts that don’t require elaborate preparations or equipment. Aren’t we lucky? Our ofﬁce is a duplex. Oh, oh. A small sidebar just caught my eye. Entitled “Fried Foods and Heart Disease,” it will have to wait for another column.

My lifestyle grades: 2 A’s and 1 F

t was a roller-coaster ride for me through the pages of The ScienceTimes on Tuesday. Always a favorite read for me, this section of The New York Times often has an article of interest or even one that could improve my life. This time there were three, and if I were scoring myself, I would say I did pretty well on two and not very well on the third. The ﬁrst, headlined “Smaller Portions Support Lasting Weight Between Loss,” by Jane E. you and me Brody, is right in BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF my wheelhouse. Whenever I am eating in a restaurant, which I do for business meetings as well as an occasional social gather-

ing, I usually order only a main course and skip the appetizer. Or if I do get an appetizer, which I might share with my companion, I will cut the portion of the entrée in half when it arrives at the table, enjoy that, and take the second half home. In that way, I feel virtuous about making two meals out of one, saving not only money but, more importantly, calories. I don’t know if you have noticed, but restaurant portions have gotten larger over the past decade. And the idea of a doggy bag has become more socially acceptable. When asked, waiters will arrive with takeout containers in a jiffy. For those of us in the generation that was told we had to ﬁnish every morsel on our plate because children were starving in China, this is one way to break that lifetime habit. There is no question that Americans are getting fatter. Data just released shows that our average body mass index is right at the cutoff for obesity, Brody wrote. If you go to another country, as I did recently to Canada, people in the street look thinner than we do. We all know that obesity
