Village of Port Jefferson

Port Jeff historians decry potential loss of historic house The vines inch up the side of the house at 49 Sheep Pasture Road. The grass was recently mowed, but only enough to keep the shrubs and the weeds from overtaking the lawn, and a unsecured Christmas tree light strand dangles from the front porch like a loose appendage. To the right-hand side of the one-acre property is a small, gazebo-like structure where old faded paintings cover the windows in flowers, hearts and what seems to be the names of children. Inside that structure, debris is strewn about, windows are broken and the back wall is caving in. On Long Island, zombie homes like this are a dime a dozen tragedy, but local —Steve historians look at the home along Sheep Pasture and see an even greater misfortune, since the house has real historical significance, having been built in the pre-Revolutionary War period by the famous Tooker family, which gave the house its name. “It’s one of the oldest homes still on its orig-

inal location in the village,” said Nick Acampora, the president of the Port Jefferson Historical Society. “We have zombie problems with the Island, of course, and if it’s a house that was built later on, that has no historical value, people are quick, let’s get it out of here. When you have a 200-year-old building, it’s a little different.” At a May 20 village board meeting, village officials voted to have the house at 49 Sheep Pasture Road demolished, citing the general state of the building and complaints of the residents. At the May meeting, acting Chief of Code Enforcement Fred Leute helped present a number of pictures to those who attended the meeting. This included images of needles, used alcoholic bottles and other obvious signs of vagrancy. The village has yet to put Englebright out bids for the demolition, and Mayor Margot Garant said the village has paused in any further action on the building while continuing to take care of the grass and state of the property, all the while hoping to see what may come out of trying to communicate with the property owner.

‘To have a house from the 1700s, with this kind of context, is extraordinary.’

“I’m glad we’ve brought awareness to the property because it hasn’t been in good repair for 18 months,” Garant said. “If they can purchase it, that would be great.” The largest issue at hand is the property is privately owned, and it does not exist on any current historic registries. The village has reached out to the current owners, Jericho-based Tab Suffolk Acquisitions LLC, with no success. “I don’t think anybody’s been ignoring this,

it’s just been a difficulty with the owner,” the historical society president said. In the book “The Seven Hills of Port” by the late Robert Sisler and his wife Patricia, the house is referenced as “the only 18th century house still intact today in our village sitting in its original footprint on its original foundation,” being dated back to the 1740s.

HISTORIC HOUSE Continued from A3

In fact, the manner in which the book, written more than three decades ago, describes the house could not be any more distinct than how the home looks now. The book references Roman numerals on the attic rafters of hand-hewn post-and-beam construction. The building also contains a beehive domed oven in the fireplace and an old coat cellar in the east end of the building and an additional 20th-century modification to the living room for hiding liquor during the prohibition era, according to the book. Additional later modifications include added dormers and a porch. The book says even the original

windows exist on the building’s north face. “We do have a couple of houses from that time that have been moved, but this one is still on its original property,” said Catherine Quinlan, historical society trustee. However, comparing then to now is staggering. A number of local residents who attended the May meeting asked for the building to be razed, saying they knew it had been broken into and used by vagrants in the past. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said he had been in touch with both the village and historical society, adding the preservation of such a venerable home would be a top priority for him and his staff. He said there should be a chance to bring in a historical architect to verify the real historical nature of the

location, and he would be working to identify funds necessary to take over the building from the current owners and creating stewardship over the building with a nonprofit. “To have a house from the 1700s, with this kind of context, is extraordinary,” the assemblyman said. Preservation Long Island, a nonprofit historical preservation organization, posted June 6 about the house to its Facebook page. “Instead of a village-funded demolition, perhaps the village could fund an independent engineering assessment for a second opinion on the condition?” it reads. “Long Island’s oldest houses are surprisingly resilient thanks to old growth timber-frames and incredible craftsmanship.” The mayor and other officials were hesitant

to allow people into the building since she said the engineers who studied it had told her there was major structural defect in the building. “We’re really concerned about people going into the premises and literally falling through the floor,” she said. In the book, it references the owner as of 1992 when the book was written as Tony Chiarini, saying he was rewiring the house at the time. Acampora said he understood the position the derelict property has put the village in, and only hopes that the historical society is contacted before the building is demolished or condemned in order for them to see if they can acquire any and all historical items from the house. “They have to answer to the folks around it,” Acampora said.

8 QUAIL RUN, BELLE TERRE

A small parcel on Oakland Avenue in Upper Port Jefferson is part of a planned sale between the Port Jefferson Fire District and Port Jefferson village in order to make room for Station Street, the last part of the eponymous Uptown Funk project. Mayor Margot Garant said the village has purchased the property for $25,000 as part of a handshake deal with the fire department as an element of creating Station Street. That project has been on hold until final design plans come forward from the Conifer project, which would create mixed-use apartments and retail space in the footprint of the old Bada Bing parcel. Though the property sale is only one bump toward getting the new street built, it does cross over a small piece of old time village history. The property, a sand lot of only around 20 or so feet, was once home to one of the dis-

trict’s siren towers. At its infancy, it was just a simple bell rung by hand to alert neighbors there was a fire. Fire District Manager Doug Savage said that those towers were used by the district in the mid-20th century, though they were phased out with the advent of modern communication technology. At one point the district contained three of these sirens, with one near the elementary school still being around. The one on top of the firehouse is the only one still used. “That’s all they had to alert people of a fire call,” he said. The pole that contained the bell had rotted out, cracked and fell down likely over 20 years ago, Savage said. Garant said it is a good deal for the fire department, who hasn’t found a use for the property in years. “They could use the coin in the bank,” she said. Tom Totton, the fire district commissioners chairman of the board, said the property is not big enough for anyone to build upon. In a legal notice published by The Port Times Record, it notes the real property is valued at more than $20,000 and less than $100,000. The notice said it has also deemed the property surplus to the fire district. “The village wants that piece of property, so we have a deal to sell them the property,” he said.

How Old Town Road in Terryville continues to bloom The efforts of Craig den Hartog beautify local hamlets year after year after year BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

lawn lizards where a bunch of them would go to neighbors’ houses to do a specific piece of lawn maintenance. That was when the neighbors started to see just how dirty and overgrown Old Town Road had become with weeds, garbage and construction debris, including a growing pile of bricks. After complaining to Brookhaven town and not getting a response, they realized they were on their own. Since then, Old Town Blooms has planted thousands of flowers along the course of the road from Coram into Terryville and East Setauket. Den Hartog has become notorious in the area for his cleanup efforts and his attempts to get his neighbors involved. Having extra flower bulbs on hand, he has stuck them in his neighbors’ mailboxes and has felt great pride in seeing those flowers bloom in the beds in front of their homes. Now he is the owner of Holtsville-based Emerald Magic Lawn Care Inc., where he does soil testing and diagnosis. He said those skills work great toward keeping the area safe from dangerous plants, as such things like mulching and which plants prevent weeds is often very misunderstood. “A big part of my job is not just diagnosing the problems in the landscape but also educating the client,” he said. Though the flowers present a united and vibrant resolution to beautification, many of his efforts go unnoticed. Plants that may seem like natural growth are actually specifically planted by the veteran horticulturist. Plants like purple coneflower and sedum are his “volunteers,” or the plants others would just throw away if they become overgrown. They help stem the tide of weeds, and he has to make sure that Brookhav-

en’s subcontractors don’t come in and mow his preventative plants. Since the program started, he has spent thousands of dollars of his own money

Craig den Hartog, a Terryville resident, was only a neon ink blot on the side of Old Town Road. A hunched figure in the weeds, his body bent over, his head low to the dirt, he could have been praying. On the edge of the road, near to passing cars streaming past upward of 50 miles per hour, den Hartog was in his own sanctuary. The side of the road was his chapel that he has cultivated for upward of 10 years. In that time, he has planted tulips and bushes alike, one to keep the poison ivy and other invasive plants down, the other to make the corners along the road striking to anybody who takes the time to look at them. Den Hartog is the owner of Emerald Magic Lawn Care landscaping company and the founder of Old Town Blooms, a community group that looks to maintain beautification efforts along Old Town Road and into the rest of the local hamlets. “You got to try and work with, and against, Mother Nature,” said den Hartog as he attacked the weeds along Old Town Road the morning of May 18. One particular stretch was choked with poison ivy and litter. The founder of Old Town Blooms has made it a personal mission to clean up his local area, though he is an old hand at landscaping. It’s been nearly a decade since he started, but his mission of beautification continues undaunted. In numerous places the Terryville resident’s flowers bloom — daffodils and tulips. In the Steven J. Crowley Memorial Park, all the flowers that shine bright with oranges and purples are thanks to his constant efforts. The Old Town Blooms project started nearly a decade ago, with him and neighbors having an “attitude adjustment hour,” calling themselves

on plants to bring life to the two-lane road. It’s not just Old Town Road that has received his touch but the surrounding community. Joe Coniglione, the principal of Comsewogue High School, said Hartog helped with beautification of the school, sprucing the area up with flowers of gold and blue, the school colors. “Him having spread that around this community is really uplifting,” Coniglione said. “His kids went through Comsewogue, they are long gone, but he is still involved in the community and the school... he’s just a great person.” Den Hartog’s daughter, Michelle, lives in Queens and works at the Developmental Disabilities Institute in Huntington as a teacher, but she tries to come out once or twice a year to help her father. Nearly 10 years ago, when the work started, she could only think how simple a fix it was, and she has started to do the same kind of cleanup and bloom plantings with the children at her school. “Even starting at young ages, it’s so important to teach taking care of your community,” she said. “Every year, coming down this road in March and April and seeing all the daffodils it makes me so happy — just the seven miles —

Comsewogue students relieve exam stress with therapy dogs B Y KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In the Comsewogue High School cafeteria, where the air would usually become tense with the anticipation of final exams at the end of the school year, signs were posted on empty chairs that read, “Come pet me ... and chill.” Quickly those empty chairs filled up and lines started to form behind them. Sitting in the now filled chair was a student who would be taking their Regents exams within the next few minutes. Opposite them was a therapy dog and its handler, both welcoming the student to relieve a little stress with a friendly canine. “They have a calming effect on people,” said Bill Bodkin, a retired teacher and administrator at the high school. “The animals benefit just as much as the humans do. Medically, it lowers blood pressure and the pulse rate of the person petting them.” Bodkin’s dog, Corey, was trained with the Smithtown-based nonprofit Guide Dog Foundation, and together they often visit hospitals, nursing homes and schools. The idea of bringing in dogs before the Regents exams was welcomed by high school Principal Joseph Coniglione. The dogs were an instant hit, as students gravitated to the dogs and some stayed with them up until the instant they went to take their exams. Several other therapy dogs were sent in from Dog Works in Holbrook, where they go through rigorous training to become certified.

Above, students got to interact with therapy dogs before the start of their exams; below, from left, retired teacher Bill Bodkin, teacher Dave Hughes and Principal Joe Coniglione said the dogs lightened the mood for students taking the Regents. Photos from Andrew Harris

“These dogs are very unique, and not all of them make it through the process,” said Deb Feliziani, who works for Dog Works and is the owner and trainer for the hounds Gabby, Bette and Comet, all who leveled their training to aid the high schoolers. In addition to the therapy dogs, district teachers said students were taught meditation and breathing techniques to help lower stress and anxiety before testing. “As students waited to take their Regents exams, in a room that is typically filled with nervousness and fear, there was a lighthearted energy that took over as they interacted with the therapy dogs,” said Taylor Zummo, a high school social worker. “Between the smiles on their faces and the laughs of excitement, it was clear that these dogs had an incredible impact on the students. There is something quite powerful that happens when dogs are in a room, and it was apparent that the students could feel it too.” Tom King, a special education teacher, has been taking his own certified therapy dog named Bailey, a Labradoodle, to class for years. King and Bailey walked around to students who had pretesting jitters and were quickly surrounded by them all wanting to pet Bailey. Overall, the visits were a huge success, said Andrew Harris, a special needs teacher and advo-

cate for therapy and service dogs who helped get the dogs to the high school.

“I saw many of my students light up when a dog comes to visit our class,” he said. “I especially see this for students with autism and decided to make it a part of my curriculum. You would be amazed if you saw the level of excellence these students rise to when they know a dog is visiting.” Harris added he has been training dogs for years, though he had taken advice from Feliziani to travel to Canada to find the “perfect dog.” This young hound, named Ramsey, has learned to alert people with medical emergencies and assist with walking up and down stairs. At only 11 months he can climb ladders, complete obstacle courses and assist people. At home, the dog acts as a protector and house pet to him and his family. “He has been in training since the day he was born and has taken rides on various forms of public transportation and socialized with people and other animals,” Harris said. “I think it helps me be a better teacher because you continually learn positive reinforcement.” Teachers at the high school said they expect to utilize the dogs in the future in the school district.

Comsewogue SD names 2019 Val/Sal BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Obituaries Robert J. Smith of Belle Terre, the founder of Buttercup’s Dairy Store in Port Jefferson Station, passed away peacefully June 21 with his family by his side. He was 87. Robert was born in Brooklyn and was raised in Queens. He moved to Long Island as a young man where he met the farmer's daughter from Buttercup Farms and fell in love. They were married July 8, 1951. Together they continued the dairy farm and milk business. They founded Buttercup's Dairy Store together in 1971 as a drive-through dairy and converted an old cow barn in 1975 to make the ﬁrst walk-in store. Throughout the years countless family members, friends and neighbors kept the business running through the present day. Lines of present and former employees and customers visited the funeral home to pay respects. He was loving father of Linda, Robert Jr., Sharon and Richard; the grandfather of 12 and great-grandfather of 10.

Comsewogue High School announced the top students of the 2019 graduating class are seniors Ankita Katukota and Jessica Sperling, who have been named valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. Katukota ﬁnished her high school career with a 101.43 weighted GPA. She served as the varsity tennis captain and interned at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. She was a member of the jazz band, Brookhaven youth court, Women in Science and Engineering and Athletes Helping Athletes. She will attend University of California, Los Angeles and plans to study pre-med. “I’m really excited to go to UCLA and ready to try something new,” she said. “The school is really well-known for its pre-med program.” Katukota shared some advice to students who are heading into high school. “I would just say keep working hard, get involved in extracurricular activities and keep striving for what you want,” she said.

BORDER CRISIS Continued from A9

What lessons can we draw from recent conversations from those on the front lines of our southwest border? Several are obvious. First, we need to have a more organized and efﬁcient system to process the vast number of asylum seekers. How do we do that? We need more administrative asylum judges, even if reassigned from other tasks temporarily. We need smoother, faster interfaces between CBP, ICE and the judicial system. In managing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services treatment of unaccompanied minors, who go from ICE to HHS after 20 days, we need more effective ways of protecting and processing claims. We need to work more closely with the Mexican government to agree on how to house the large numbers, optimally on the Mexican side of the border, which will pre-

Sperling, as salutatorian, ﬁnished her high school career with a 100.2 weighted GPA. During her time at Comsewogue, Sperling served as T.A.S.K. club member, student government president, Comsewogue Board of Education student representative, Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association student representative, Spanish honor society vice president and yearbook editor-in-chief. Sperling will attend Binghamton University in the fall and study political science. “I’m really excited to go Binghamton,” she said. “I’m really interested in law and hope to go to law school [in the future] and possibly go into government work.” Sperling said she is looking forward to continuing doing work in the community and being active in campus clubs and organizations at Binghamton. The senior also shared some advice to students heading into high school. “Have a good balance between school and your personal life,” she said. “I think it is really important to have time for yourself and enjoy your high school experience. Before you know it it's over.”

vent having to place large numbers of asylum seekers across the United States to await hearings. Finally, we should be asking Mexico to consider becoming a “safe third country” for asylum seekers, which would allow Central Americans to win asylum in Mexico also, reducing pressure on the U.S. border. Last, and most important, we need to rethink how best to restore rule of law, stability, economic opportunity and foreign investment in Central America, to incentivize economic migrants to remain where they live, and to create opportunities and security there. This requires international engagement, and sustained commitments to neighbors. In the end, that investment will help us all. That is what going to the border taught me.

Port Jefferson baseball stars receive All-League and All-County honors

Five members of the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School varsity baseball team were honored at the Section XI AllLeague/All-County dinner June 17.

All-League honors went to freshman Luke Filippi (shortstop/pitcher), and seniors Charlie Rolfe (first baseman) and Jordan Suarez (outfielder). Junior

Peyton Ginas (pitcher/outfielder) received All-County honors and senior Gabe Zoda (outfielder/pitcher) received AllAcademic honors.

I’ll just do the drive just to see the blooms.” Joan Nickeson, the community liaison for the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Chamber of Commerce had met den Hartog years ago in the early spring, surprised by the sight of bright yellow daffodils popping up along Old Town Road. The Terryville resident would become involved with the chamber and was instrumental in area beautification, helping to remove invasive vines on trees and to maintain the chamber-owned train car at the corner of Route 112. “At home we call him for our green issues,” she said. “He and my husband Rich could ‘talk trees’ for hours … We are indebted to him.” Den Hartog has a passion for getting others involved, calling all who help him in his efforts “bloomers.” This passion for beautification has extended well past the confines of Old Town Road. Debbie Engelhardt, the director of the Comsewogue Public Library, said the library organized a community cleanup in conjunction with the overall Great Brookhaven Cleanup. Den Hartog was there offering his expertise, and she said they will be working with him in the future. “Craig’s contribution was cutting the ‘mother vines’ of the poison ivy plants endangering many of the trees along Terryville Road,” Engelhardt said. “I was amazed at how many trees had been enveloped; most of us drive by and don’t think about these things. I’m glad the community has Craig out there, so we can keep as many trees healthy as possible.” Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) has seen the work of the Terryville horticulturist on multiple occasions. “He has always played an active role in our community,” Cartright said in an email. “Mr. den Hartog works hard as both a local business owner and on his volunteer endeavor, Old Town Blooms. Craig’s dedication to rallying our community and organizing local beautification efforts is truly commendable and a gift to the Port Jefferson Station-Terryville community.” However, cleaning up such a vast area with himself and a few of the occasional volunteers does begin to become a mental rock climb. He admitted he does occasionally procrastinate on parts of the project, especially considering its vast size, not to mention his own business and the work he does at his house. But that’s when the script flips, once work begins, the momentum carries him through. “As soon as I start, I start enjoying myself,” he said. “If you want something done, you just have to start.”

Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times). Oh Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands. (3 times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can obtain my goals. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me.

Editorial

Time to RISE

While the U.S. women’s soccer team waits to enter mediations regarding the discrepancy between their pay and the men’s team’s earnings, Suffolk County women, as well as racial and ethnic minority workers, are about to enter a more even playing field when they decide to apply for a new job starting June 30 thanks to a new law. We say it’s about time. Historically, women along with racial and ethnic minority workers have earned lower than average wages. Before passing the law, the county Legislature used an April 2018 New York State Department of Labor report that found women in the county earn 78 percent for what their male counterparts earn. The statewide percentage is 87. The same report cited that in New York African American or black women earn 64 percent and Latino or Hispanic women earn 53 percent of what men earn. The Legislature recently decided to do something about the injustice by creating a local law, called the RISE (Restrict Information Regarding Salary and Earnings) Act, to restrict divulging earnings history during the interview process. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) signed the legislation into law in November. This means when a Suffolk County resident searches for a new job, they will not be haunted by their last salary. Now, employers and employment agencies cannot ask for salary history on applications or during interviews. In addition to women and minority workers being offered less in the past, there are also cases where people have been out of work for a long time — whether due to layoffs, taking care of children or a sick relative — who take the first job they are offered, regardless of pay just to get back on track careerwise. This can cause problems when they apply for a job and the company asks for their salary history. The job applicant might be offered a salary below the range the employer was originally thinking. The employer may see it as an opportunity to save money, thinking if the applicant got by on their last wage, why would they need much more. But no more. Now employers have to decide how much they believe a job is worth, then offer that salary. And while it makes sense that there may be a salary range based on experience, it also makes sense to pay people similar pay for doing the same job. And the law benefits more than women and ethnic and racial minority workers; it even helps those who are leaving a highpaying position. In the past, if someone wanted to travel down a different career path, they may have been willing to accept a lower salary. But a company may not have called them for an interview when they saw how much they made at previous jobs, thinking they wouldn’t take a lower salary. In the end, the new law may even help the local economy. With more money in women’s bank accounts, they will have more buying power or the opportunity to escape from dysfunctional relationships and get a place of their own. Confirmed with a bipartisan, unanimous vote, the Suffolk County Legislature apparently believes the RISE Act will help break the cycle of wage discrimination in the area. We agree, and we say to those who have felt stuck in their financial situation that now is the time to RISE and shine.

Letters to the Editor

Creating unity in the community It is a great honor to be recently re-elected to my sixth term as your mayor. I am so grateful for your trust and support. This election cycle was intense and amplified by many issues — both on the local and national levels. It was 120 days of engagement, activism, letter writing, speech making and getting out the vote. The candidates and volunteers of the Unity Party and all those who came out in support of our platform showed their

commitment and informed involvement in local community initiatives. I want to thank them for their tireless work and for believing in our positive platform and vision. In addition, I want to thank all those who were involved on the other side of the election aisle who voiced interest in a better Port Jefferson. No matter what side of the platform you advocated for, our community is now engaged on the issues

and is poised to advance to a better place. It is my intention to lead this community with the same passion and energy as when I first took the oath of office 10 years ago. I will proudly serve with Trustee Stan Loucks and Trustee-elect Kathianne Snaden by my side. Together we will ensure “Unity in our Community” and build a better Port Jefferson together. Mayor Margot Garant Village of Port Jefferson

Almost 18 years ago, our nation experienced the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil in the history of our nation, and these many years later, it’s not over. On Sept. 11, 2001, and in its wake, there were countless heroes who stepped up to the plate without a moment’s hesitation when our country needed them most. In the face of unconscionable evil, they were the ones who ran in when everyone ran out, who worked 12-hour shifts on the pile for months returning victims to their families, and who refused to bow in the face of fear and helped hold our country together. In 2011, to help these heroes, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was signed into law, and five years later the Zadroga Act was permanently reauthorized and included $4.6 billion for the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. The VCF was established to provide compensation for the victims of 9/11 and their families while continuing to provide compensation for those suffering from

9/11-related illnesses and their loved ones. However, in February, the special master of the fund issued an alarming report, which stated its funding was insufficient to compensate all claims and the fund would have to make up to 70 percent cuts across the board. I can vividly recall in years past how so many first responders who had fallen ill were forced to come to our nation’s capital to beg for the benefits they rightfully earned. Now, here we are again, not even four years later with sick and dying 9/11 first responders being forced to travel to Washington, D.C., to beg for the benefits that they have been promised. One of those heroes was Lou Alvarez, a 9/11 first responder, Long Islander and American patriot. In 2016, just like so many other 9/11 first responders, Lou was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, one of the thousands of cancers now attributed to the inhalation of the toxic air and debris at Ground Zero.

Just two weeks ago, Lou gave the most inspiring speech before the House Judiciary Committee and, immediately afterward, he rushed home for his 69th round of chemo. Unfortunately, when he got home, things didn’t go as expected. Lou went into hospice vowing to continue fighting until the very end so that other 9/11 first responders don’t have to. He said, “Still here. Still breathing. Still fighting.” Lou is an American hero, but his spirit and grit is representative of the thousands of 9/11 first responders who have fallen ill. For them and for our nation, Congress needs to do its job and pass H.R.1327, the Never Forget the Heroes Act, which would fully fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. In the aftermath of 9/11, we vowed we’d never forget. Now we must make sure of it. Lee Zeldin U.S. Congressional Rep. District 1 Shirley

As a New York representative to the citizens advisory panel of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission for horseshoe crabs, I enjoyed reading Ken Taub’s article on this fascinating species in a recent “Your Turn” column (Arts & Lifestyles, June 20). As the article mentions, horseshoe crabs are taken for bait for the whelk and eel fisheries, and in some states, but not New York, they are bled to provide LAL, a life-giving compound isolated from their blood that helps detect bacterial contamination — about 15 percent of bled crabs die. 150,0000 crabs are taken from New York waters each year to be used for bait, based on the annual quota established by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

The problem with this approach is that the overwhelming number of crabs harvested — females are highly preferred — are taken just as they come ashore to spawn, with many being taken before they can do so. This is unique among harvest regulations — we certainly don’t allow for pregnant deer to be killed nor turkeys shot in the spring when they have young, for to do so, as wildlife managers know, would jeopardize the future of the species. But this is precisely what we allow for horseshoe crabs — permit them to be yanked from the spawning beach thereby removing them from the reproductive pool before they have the opportunity to make the next generation. To mitigate this, the DEC has been encouraged to shut down the harvest for several days around the new and full

moons in the months of May and June when crab spawning activity is at its peak, a strategy used in Massachusetts. I strongly hope they will act to implement this worthwhile management strategy. Better yet, we may be at a game-changing moment regarding the management of horseshoe crabs. One company has had success in synthesizing LAL in the laboratory, which in the future may mean the end of bleeding crabs and, more importantly, another one is in the process of producing an alternative bait for the whelk and eel fisheries that uses no crab at all. If these advances come to pass, this living fossil can rebound, and its numbers can recover to the levels I and others remember from our childhood. John Turner Setauket

Celebrating opportunities for people appreciation

e cry and laugh with movie characters, feeling their pain when their ﬁctional lover runs away with the neighbor or laughing with them when they share a joke, slip and fall, or embarrass themselves during a public speech. Long after we’ve put a book down, the characters join us as we commute back and forth to work. We feel the pain they D. None experienced during of the above World War II when BY DANIEL DUNAIEF they lost family members or neighbors. We are grateful that the main character who is battling his personal demons somehow survives unimaginable ordeals.

We stare into the faces of the huddled masses from pictures at Ellis Island, many of whom left the only home they’d ever known to start a new life in a place that has become, fortunately for so many of us, the only home we’ve ever known. We see the bags at the immigrants’ sides, the children in their arms who are our parents and grandparents, and the resolve in the arrivals’ eyes as they wait for their turn to pass through the gates to the New World. We read about people whose lives touch us so profoundly that we send money through GoFundMe pages. We don’t have any need to ask them whether they drink Coke or Pepsi, whether they’re a Democrat or a Republican, or if they support France or the United States in the Women’s World Cup. We want something better for them. What about all the people who surround us, who drive next to us on the same roads on the way to and from work, who stand in line with us at the movie theater, the deli or the Department of Motor Vehicles?

The people who share time and place with us are just as deserving of our sympathy, empathy and care, and yet we honk when the light turns green and they don’t go, we become irritated when they don’t understand our lunch order, and we snarl when our co-workers misunderstand an assignment. I would like to suggest that we spend one day every year, maybe this publication day, June 27, appreciating people. Let’s call it People Appreciation Day. This doesn’t and shouldn’t be a day when we trudge out to get a mass produced card that says, “Hey, I appreciate you.” This could be any level of appreciation we’d like to share. We could take an extra second to thank the cashier at the supermarket, who asks us for our store card and wants to know if we found everything OK. We can thank her and ask how she’s doing. When she answers, we might react accordingly: “Oh, happy birthday” or “Sorry to hear about your cat” or “I sometimes miss the place where I grew up, too.”

Maybe instead of honking when the light turns green, we can imagine — the way we would if we were looking at the title of a movie or the cover of a book — what the driver inside is feeling, thinking or experiencing. How is that any different from caring about a two-dimensional stranger in a book we’re holding? The people in our lives aren’t here to entertain or amuse us, but they can elicit our empathy, understanding and appreciation. We can, however, offer them the gift of care and concern. We can appreciate their efforts to meet their basic needs and their desire to strive for something better for themselves and their children. These other people are dedicated teachers, determined athletes, a third-generation member of the military or a new neighbor from far away whose loneliness we can extinguish. Let’s take the time and put out the effort to appreciate them. When we do, we can beneﬁt from the opportunity for people appreciation to forge a human connection.

Summertime and something to think about

chools are out, or almost out, trees are lush with leaves, people are beginning to wear shorts and sandals, and the temperatures are ﬁnally approaching the high 80s. It seems to have stopped raining. The lines after dinner at ice cream parlors stretch out the door and down the street. Dogs have their tongues hanging out when being walked. And it’s light until almost 9 p.m. Summer, glorious Between summer, has truly you and me arrived. BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF It has been many years since my children enjoyed summer break from school’s routine and therefore I with them. Yet the feeling of relaxation that summer ushers

in still ﬂoods my being. This is the time to make a barbecue and invite friends, enjoy the summer sky over some nice port in the long evening, lounge in the backyard, splash at the beach, watch a baseball game, sleep in a bit and read, read, read those books and magazines that have piled up on the bedside table all year long. It’s also the time to sail, swim, play, get lost on long walks and, in so many other ways, rejoice in the outdoors. There is even time to think. Here is something tantalizing to think about. A letter published on the website Medium.com Monday, written and signed by a group of 18 billionaires, from 11 families, including ﬁnancier George Soros, co-founder of Facebook Chris Hughes, Abigail Disney and heirs to the Pritzker fortune, Liesel and Ian Simmons, urged government to tax them at a higher rate. They called for “a moderate wealth tax on the fortunes of the richest one-tenth of the richest 1 percent of Americans — on us.” Over the last three decades, the wealth of the top 1 percent grew by $21 trillion. Who can

even visualize such sums? But the wealth of the bottom 50 percent fell by $900 billion — not hard to visualize by comparison because we can see the effects on American lives. The letter follows a similar declaration by investment guru Warren Buffett in 2011 encouraging greater tax on the richest. He revealed that his effective tax rate was actually lower than that of any other 20 people in his ofﬁce. The richest pay 3.2 percent of their wealth in taxes versus 7.2 percent from the bottom 99 percent. President Barack Obama (D) picked up the suggestion at the time and called for a 30 percent tax for that population, dubbing it the “Buffett rule.” Not only was that never enacted, the latest round of tax cuts under President Donald Trump (R) have particularly helped those same richest Americans. The Monday letter was addressed to all presidential contenders. Elizabeth Warren, U.S. senator from Massachusetts and Democratic hopeful, has proposed a comparable strategy, recommending that those who have $50 million or more in assets, like stocks, bonds, yachts, cars

and art, be subject to a wealth tax. That would include some 75,000 families and raise, in her estimation, $2.75 trillion over the next 10 years. That money could be put toward better child care, helping with education debt and the opioid and climate crises. Such a tax would strengthen American freedom and democracy and would be patriotic, it is claimed. Surveys show that about seven out of 10 people support this concept. In 2014 Nick Hanauer, a successful Seattle entrepreneur, wrote a memo to “my fellow zillionaires” in which he advised the following: “[We are] thriving beyond dreams of any plutocrats in history, [while] the rest of the country — the 99.99 percent — is lagging far behind. If we don’t do something to ﬁx the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us.” How is that for some heady stuff to occupy the mind and lessen any lazy guilt as our bodies are stretched out on the lounge?
