Paralyzed St. Charles patient walks with help of clinical trial By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Putting one foot in front of the other never looked so inspiring. A freak sledding accident in Vermont in 2009 left Greg Durso, 31, of Stony Brook unable to use his lower body from his stomach muscles down. With the help of St. Charles Hospital’s rehabilitation center, he stood and walked across a room Dec. 13 in front of his family and dozens of hospital personnel for the first time since his accident. Durso was aided by a clinical trial product called the Indego exoskeleton, which is a wearable robotic frame. St. Charles is one of nine hospitals in the United States con-

ducting the clinical trial, and the only one on Long Island. Durso is the first patient at the hospital to take the technology for a spin. “It’s just an incredible feeling to be up there and be walking again — putting weight on your legs,” Durso said after his groundbreaking stroll. “Each step is kind of like a leap of faith … a month ago I probably couldn’t have told you I’d be here today, so when I heard about this, I was so happy to have the opportunity to do this.” Indego is the second FDA-approved exoskeleton device used for lower limbs. The device weighs about 26 pounds, and requires no backpack or external wires, as other similar devices have in the past. Currently the machine is operated by Durso’s chest muscles, but future incarnations of the device will allow electrical stimulation in the muscles so that a patient’s own legs will make the machine work, according to St. Charles Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Medical Director Jennifer Semel. The FDA gave the machine clearance in March. “The future is really limitless,” Semel said in an interview. “It’s really exciting to see people who haven’t been able to stand up in several years not only to be at the same height as their peers, but to be able to walk. It’s really uplifting.” Semel said Durso has been using the device for about a month, and last week required a walker in addition to the exoskeleton to get around. He progressed to crutches for his Dec. 13 walk. Semel said the plan is for Durso to continue using the

“But when you see this — I actually get up, I actually walk, I gave my sister a hug for the first time in eight years face to face — it’s pretty emotional and empowering, and it’s just exciting to see where the future is going to go with this technology.” It was an emotional day for the members of the Durso family in attendance. Durso’s older sister, Jessica Giovan, fought back tears trying to describe seeing her brother walk again for the first time in eight years. “I just saw him look so proud and happy,” she said. “He works so hard at everything he does, so to see him put one foot in front of the other, literally, was just unbelievable … the person you see now is the person he has always been. He has not, for one second, wavered in his personality since the accident. In fact, he has only increased his perseverance and his humor, and he lives everyday to make everyone around him feel like it’s okay.”

Port Jeff Village trustees mull possible changes to kayak storage policy By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Many kayak users in Port Jefferson Village were left without a paddle during the summer of 2016, and as a result, the board of trustees is examining ways to accommodate more aquatically inclined residents. The village currently supplies four wooden racks, which hold six kayaks each at two different beaches. Use of the racks is determined after applications are submitted and a lottery is held in April each year. About half of the applicants were not granted permits because of limited space for the 2016 season,at a recent board meeting. Storage is provided so that kayakers can safely and conveniently leave their vessels near the water, rather than having to transport them every time they are to be used. The lack of available storage resulted in about two-dozen vessels being left locked to trees or simply strewn across the beach without permission this past summer. There is no cost to obtain a permit if a resident is selected in the lottery. “My goal is to expand the number of people able to store kayaks,” Trustee Stanley Loucks, who also serves as the board’s liaison to the recreation department, said in a phone interview. He said the village is actively working on changes to improve policies for the 2017 boating season. “What I want to do is put enough racks in for any Port Jeff resident who wants to have a kayak.” Permanent signs have been in place warning beachgoers to remove kayaks and

Port Jefferson Village is considering revisions to their kayak storage policy at local beaches. other small boats from the racks, and by extension, the surrounding areas, by Nov. 1 or be subject to fines. The signs also warn those without permits to refrain from leaving vessels altogether. Juliano said stickers were placed on the remaining boats Nov. 2, warning the owners to remove them within a five-day period, though the village didn’t act until about two weeks later. To retrieve their kayaks, owners are required to visit the Port Jefferson Department of Public Works and pay a $100 fee. Loucks said kayak storage and the dumping of vessels without permits got “out of control” this year. Port Jefferson residents Lois O’Donnell Kilkenny and Jodi Casciano said in Facebook messages that they would like permits

to store their vessels, but they avoid the lottery altogether because they don’t think the chances of being selected are great. Demand for spaces may be greater than the village realizes. “We sure would enjoy having more of them, so those of us who don’t have could obtain one,” O’Donnell Kilkenny said. “It gets harder to transport them as we get older! I know I would use it a lot more if we only had to pull it off the rack and go.” Dorothy Court, Waterview Drive resident, which is adjacent to the Crystal Brook Hollow Road beach, said, at a public hearing on the matter in June, that she supported tougher rules. “I have to deal with these kayaks every single day,” Court said. “I have, like, a boat-

yard in front of my house.” Loucks said he is sympathetic to village residents who get shut out by the application process. “It’s a shame we have to limit the number of people,” he said. According to Juliano, a Port Jefferson family had five kayaks tied together and locked around a tree that were seized by village personnel in November. They submitted a letter asking for leniency from the village when they learned of the $500 in fees required to retrieve the boats. The board approved a motion Nov. 28 to cut the fees in half. Village Mayor Margot Garant was in favor of reducing the fine for the family, though she said at a recent board meeting that the fees are in place to discourage the practice of abandoning kayaks. “It’s not really about the money, it’s about cleaning up the area,” she said. Loucks said the board of trustees is considering moving existing racks to East Beach and removing them from the beach at the end of Crystal Brook Hollow Road, while also adding more to comply with demand. He said an experimental contraption was used on East Beach this year, though moving the racks there and adding more would be ideal. Garant added she would like to see the existing racks moved because of a lack of parking in the area. The village provides racks with space for 24 kayaks at the beach at the end of Crystal Brook Hollow Road in Mount Sinai Harbor, and the same amount of spaces at the beach near the Village Center in Port Jefferson Harbor.

Greg Durso, middle, stands with his parents Richard and Jean Durso, and his sister, Jessica Giovan, right, at St. Charles Hospital. His dad, Richard Durso, said he couldn’t have imagined he’d be sitting where he was, watching his son walk, when he heard the news of the accident eight years ago. He credited his son’s positive attitude for keeping him on track. His mom, Jean Durso, called what she saw “unbelievable.” Durso has competed in Iron Man races and marathons in his life — the former

both pre and post accident — and said he hopes to be able to regain some of that lifestyle in the future. “I love to do athletic things. I mean, it could be anything. I just want to be out there, have fun and live my life the way I want to do it,” he said. “For me that’s enough.” The Indego devices cost about $80,000 each.

Metered parking suspended through mid-March in Port Jeff Village By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com The holidays have come early for anyone who has experienced the frustration of circling Main Street, to Arden Place, to East Main Street, to East Broadway and back to Main Street countless times in search of Port Jefferson’s most sought-after natural resource — a free parking space. In keeping with annual tradition, Mayor Margot Garant announced the suspension of metered parking in village lots effective Dec. 5 through March 15, 2017, in a video posted on Port Jeff’s website, which had more than 27,000 views at the time of publication. Parking in a village-metered lot ordinarily costs 25 cents per half hour and

is enforced from 10 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. Parking on village streets is free, though there are varying time restrictions in most areas. Port Jeff Village residents always park for free in metered lots with special stickers on their cars, and for the time being, non-residents are afforded the same luxury. Garant said, at a board meeting earlier in December, the idea behind suspending metered parking is to encourage visitors in the winter months to shop at and patronize Port Jeff businesses in the traditionally warmweather destination. She added that in previous years the suspension of metered parking has extended into April if the weather in the area is particularly damaging for businesses in a given winter season. In the video, Garant watches kids ice skate at The Rinx located outside the Village Center. She then slides a blue cover over the meter in the parking lot adjacent to the ice rink. “During the holiday season and during the winter months, come on down to the Village of Port Jefferson, come visit us, park for free, visit our restaurants and please support our local merchants,” Garant says in the video. Revenue raised from metered parking is reinvested into various village projects, according to Garant. Deputy Mayor Larry LaPointe, who is also the board’s liaison to the parking committee, estimated the fund from parking meters has about $900,000 in it currently. If it were unclear how big an issue park-

Port Jefferson students receive library awards Six Edna Louise Spear Elementary School students have been named Star Students in the American Library Association’s yearlong Read Campaign. The students, chosen as November Star Students, are Megan Becherer, kindergarten; Peyton Barrett, first grade; Michael Cormier, second grade; Talin

Bajaj, third grade; Rose Meliker-Hammond, fourth grade; and Michelle Wu, fifth grade. As a reward for being named a Star Student, each of these scholars will have their photo displayed on the bulletin board outside the school’s library, along with a summary of their favorite book.

Sister Joan Mary Rohan, Daughters of Wisdom, 65 years professed, was born into eternal life on Nov. 20, 2016, at age 84. Born into a funloving and caring Irish Catholic family from Brooklyn, she was one of seven children of Robert Emmet Rohan and Helen McKenna. She is the sibling of Helen Bermpohl, Patricia Ambroszewski, James and the late Dorothy McAuley, Robert Jr. and Thomas; and the loving sister-in-law of Fred Ambroszewski, Patricia, Dorothy and the late Robert Bermpohl and Charles McAuley. After attending high school at Our Lady of Wisdom Academy in Ozone Park, she entered the Daughters of Wisdom in Litchfield, Conn., where she was one of the first to make her novitiate in the United States (1951). She later attended St. John’s University in Queens, where she earned a bachelor’s in psychology and education, a master’s in clinical psychology and a professional diploma in child psychology. Through the early years of studies in psychology at St. John’s University, teaching at St. Mary Gate of Heaven, Ozone Park (1952-1959), and ministering as teacher and school psychologist at Maryhaven Center of Hope in Port Jefferson (1965-1982), she consistently reflected the gentleness of Jesus Wisdom, to whom she had given her life. Her 15 years as principal at Montfort Academy in Fredericksburg, Va. (19831998) transformed the school community through creative ways of eliminating competition and promoting the gifts and talents of all. She did all this while consistently being the heart and soul of the communities with whom she shared life as a Daughter of Wisdom. Sister Joan will be greatly missed by her family and sisters of the Daughters of Wisdom.

Kan., on a farm with five brothers and sisters. At the age of 18, she moved to New York to become a nanny. There, she met and married Ross Spinney. She worked at a tool factory, and, for a hobby, they traveled and collected antique clocks. She donated many of them to Port Jefferson Historical Society before she moved to California. After Ross passed away, Earline moved to Escondido to live near her sister Evelyn. They traveled around the world and volunteered at the flower fields and the San Diego Gas and Steam Engine Museum. She is survived by her sisters Louise LaRue and Evelyn Steele, several nieces and nephews and many loving friends. She will be greatly missed due to her sunny personality and generosity. Donations in her memory may be made to the Port Jefferson Historical Society.

She graduated from Carmichaels High School and, in 1958, at the age of 18, left her small town and went to work for Capital Airlines. In 1961, United Airlines merged with Capital and Shirley started her 35-year career with United. During her time with them, she had many positions. Starting as a reservations representative, she became a supervisor, interline sales manager and employment manager, hiring pilots. Shirley loved to travel and traveled all over the world. She retired in May 1995. Shirley was an elder in her church and the most fabulous cook, hosting dinner parties for 20 at a time. She loved to garden, exercise and spend time on the beach. She is survived by her sisters Phyllis Watters and Dorothy Lawler, brother Mark Teagarden, along with lifelong friend Sheila Knapp and many close friends, including Yvonne Dwyer and Jackie Gernaey. A memorial service for Shirley will be held today at noon at the First Presbyterian Church of Port Jefferson, located on the corner of South and Main Streets, in Port Jefferson.

OBITUARY

A community deals with the loss of a family man Celebrate Erik Halvorsen’s life — Dec. 17 at The Old Field Club by liv halvorsen On November 28, the community felt the enormity of the passing of a truly selfless soul. My father, Erik Halvorsen, owner of Norse Tree Service, died in a tragic accident at Avalon Park and Preserve while removing a damaged tree for the benefit of park visitors. The son of Lynda and Richard Halvorsen, my father was raised along with his sisters, Christina and Julianne, in Port Jefferson. Countless tales of humorous mischief and spontaneous adventures have been handed down to the next generation. My mom and dad were childhood sweethearts, passing notes in science class. They were even each other’s dates for the eighthgrade prom. After graduating from Earl L. Vandermeulen High School, my father studied geology at SUNY Cortland, graduating in 1994 and then returning to Long Island, where he reconnected with my mother.

They married in August 1997 and moved into our historic home in Setauket in 1998. My father was in his element when outdoors. He genuinely loved trips in kayaks, hikes with our family, and boating in the harbor. Following his passion, he pursued a career in tree care, and in 1997, founded Norse Tree Service, so named as a tribute to his Norwegian heritage. My father handled every aspect of his business, teaching himself what he needed to know through reading and research. We three children, me and Leif and Lilli, grew up with a father whose life — say all who knew him — was all about the kids. He made sure to be a significant presence in all our lives, coaching youth soccer and basketball teams for all of us. He supported us in everything we did — from school to sports to home life — always making sure we were “oak k.” Even when he was playing with us, he was always in the mo-

ment, fully part of the game, being the big kid that he was. Since his passing, friends have described the many qualities that made my father a unique person. He was never too busy to say hello — and remembered everyone’s name. He was a humble person, always taking an interest in others. He did not overlook the small things — the details of a situation, the nuances of a conversation. He was friendly, thoughtful and kind, and made everyone feel that they were special. This inherent magnetism made him a friend to so many. The number of lives my father touched is just unbelievable. Friends say he was the first person to show up if you needed him — and the last to leave. Following a hurricane, he’d head right out to clear the roads and make them passable for everyone else. He was generous and caring and had a great sense of humor, an unexpected wit. He never failed to make people laugh. A

Warriors fall in final seconds of nonleague matchup By Bill landon Newfield eighth-grader Ziggy Hoe’s first points were game-winning, literally. The guard, making his debut at the varsity level, swished a three-pointer with less than a minute left to give his team a 5856 advantage, and ultimately the win, for the Wolverines. Newfield edged out Comsewogue, 59-56, in the physical and foul-riddled nonleague game Dec. 13. “They were very aggressive; they can make plays,” Newfield head coach Anthony Agostino said of Comsewogue. “I have two freshman and an eighth-grader. I’m real proud of my guys because they played so hard.” It was a slow start, as neither team scored in the first three minutes of play. Comsewogue junior David Heller broke the ice when he hit a three-pointer, and after three unanswered field goals by Newfield, Heller tacked on another three-pointer to tie the game. The Warriors’ defense put on an aerial show, blocking several shots, which forced the Wolverines to shoot from outside the paint. As a result, Comsewogue went on a run that helped it edge ahead 14-8 two minutes into the second quarter. The teams traded points, and Comsewogue junior guard Tyler Petruzzi hit a long distance three-pointer with just under three minutes left until halftime that put his Warriors out front 21-12. Newfield rallied with a pair of defensive steals, and made it a four-point game by the break, 23-19.

Newfield 59 Comsewogue 56

Newfield’s Paul Vonvoight had the hot hand in the third, as the junior guard banked three field goals to put his team out front for the first time, 24-23, with 6:40 left in the quarter. The Warriors countered to retake the lead, 25-24, but Vonvoight drained a three-pointer to make it a threepoint game, 33-30, with less than three minutes left in the third. “We knew they’re a great team — we had to come out and fight for every point,” Vonvoight said. “We had to keep our cool, be humble and focus on every possession.” Comsewogue went on a 8-1 run, and junior Dylan Morris Gray took to the floor after the Warriors’ starting point guard fouled out. “We caught a break when [Joey] Carillo fouled out,” Agostino said. But the team didn’t miss a beat. Morris Gray drove the lane and fought his way to the rim for two points and was fouled in the process. He completed the three-point play from the charity stripe to give his team a 4034 lead, and both teams added a field goal to end the third with Comsewogue up 42-36. The teams opened the final stanza trading points again, but this time, at the charity stripe. Then, Newfield senior forward Justin Ottenwalder hit a long distance trey to trail by three with just under five minutes left. Next, Ottenwalder stole the ball and drove the baseline, where he was fouled. He went to the line shooting once, and scored to tie the game 52-52 with 2:17 left in regulation. “The first game was going to be hard because you’re not used to the speed of the game,” Ottenwalder said. “Effort and energy won the game for us today.” Comsewogue junior guard Alan Smith

After Comsewogue junior guard Tom McGuire split his chances at the free-throw line, Hoe dropped his three-pointer with 41 seconds on the clock, for the 58-56 lead. “We were taking quick shots when we had the lead — we could’ve taken our time, taken all 35 seconds off the shot clock,” Heller said. “But we didn’t do that, and it cost us the game.” Newfield’s defense made a stand and denied Comsewogue with a turnover, and drew a foul on a play with 5.4 seconds left. Vonvoight, shooting for two points, hit the front end but missed the back, for the point that gave the game its final score. “The turnovers were a big thing — but

I thought our rebounding was a lot better than our last game,” Comsewogue junior forward and center Patrick Billings said. “We can’t have the kind of mistakes we had today. We’ve just got to play better next game.” Ottenwalder finished with 17 points for Newfield, and Vonvoight added 15. Heller led Comsewogue with 18 points. Comsewogue head coach Joel Sutherland told his team that the loss will serve as a wake-up call. “I thought we came — David Heller out strong, but we have to get better taking care of the ball,” Sutherland said. “This game will make us better, and it’ll make us stronger.” Newfield hits the road to open league play Dec. 20 at Copiague, with tipoff scheduled for 4 p.m. Comsewogue will host Harborfields the same day at 5:45 p.m.

‘We were taking quick shots when we had the lead — we could’ve taken our time ... but we didn’t do that and it cost us the game.’

Jillian Colucci was named Suffolk County Soccer Player of the Year.

Soccer player of the year Port Jefferson soccer standout, senior Jillian Colucci, has been named Suffolk County’s Soccer Player of the Year. Colucci, who helped lead the varsity soccer team to back-to-back Class C state championship titles, has been a member of the varsity team since the seventh grade. She has played the sport since she was 4 years old. “I watched my brother play soccer since I was a baby,” she said. “It was natural to

follow in his path.” In addition to playing soccer, Colucci is also a basketball player, president of her school’s Varsity Club, a member of the National Honor Society and treasurer of the Interact Club. Colucci plans to attend Marist College in the fall. She has not yet declared a major. “It was so wonderful and such an honor,” Colucci said, “to have received the Suffolk Soccer player of the year title.”

The Suffolk County Football Coaches Association recognized Port Jefferson senior football player Brian Mark with two academic scholar awards. Among the prestigious awards Mark received was the Golden Eleven Award, which is presented to the Top 11 academic scholars in Suffolk County, and the LaBue Award, which is presented to the top academic scholar. “We are so unbelievably proud of Brian,” Port Jefferson athletic director Danielle Turner said. In addition to his participation on the football team, Mark is the captain of the varsity basketball team and a member of the varsity lacrosse team. When not on the field, he is working as a member of his school’s Varsity Club and serving as president of the Investment Club. He is also a peer leader for Sources of Strength.

Famous family brings new dining experience to Port Jeff Station By Alex PetRoSki alex@tbrnewspapers.com Port Jefferson Station has some new kids on the block. The Wahlberg family, of Hollywood and boy band fame, has brought its restaurant chain to Port Jefferson Station. The “lucky 13th” Wahlburgers, as general manager for the restaurant Amani Mousa referred to it in a phone interview, is located at 4837 Nesconset Highway and opened last week. The business announced its opening with a Facebook post Dec. 8 that read “call ya mutha, we’re open.” The menu features choices created by the chain’s head chef, Paul Wahlberg, who is the brother of the more commonly known Mark and Donnie. Mousa said the idea behind the restaurant and its menu is to provide customers with wholesome, comfort food and an environment that preaches the Wahlbergs’ family values — with hospitality coming from the heart. “It reflects the Wahlbergs’ lifestyle growing up,” Mousa said of the family-friendly chain, which has another New York location in Coney Island to go along with the Port Jefferson Station spot. Wahlburgers offers fresh burgers, homemade condiments, chicken sandwiches, frappes (which can be spiked), a full bar and even macaroni and cheese named after Alma Wahlberg, the mother of the famous brothers. Some of the grill items are inspired by the father, Donald Wahlberg. All of the condiments are made in-house, from scratch, by the chef. The restaurant has several televisions around a full bar, and is decorated with photos of the entire Wahlberg family. “While our menu has evolved, one thing that remains the same is our commitment to serving you the freshest possible meals and providing a place where your family and friends can make fond memories,” the company’s mission states on its website. “We’re not kidding when we say that making you happy, makes us happy.” The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and offers a hybrid style, with fullservice dining, take-out or counter service options. It is located in the building that previously played host to Road Trip American Ale House and El Dorado Bar and Grill. Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce Di-

rector of Operations Barbara Ransome said she hopes the location finally has a partner with some staying power. “It seems like an appropriate venue for these types of restaurants — why they’re not surviving, I’m not sure,” Ransome said. “The location is good … it’s in that area where people are looking for that type of food and it’s family-orientated.” Ransome said Wahlburgers is not yet a member of the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce. Mousa said she is excited about the location because of the shear volume of cars that pass it on a daily basis, and believes that will lead to success. Reviews on the location’s Facebook page are mixed so far, with complaints about wait times and slow service, though some raved about the new dining experience. “Really great burgers, delish tater tots and onion rings,” one visitor wrote. “My son loved his Thanksgiving sandwich (I tasted it, and it was indeed really, really good. I would order one.). The Fluffernutter was outrageously delicious. Our server was awesome, despite slightly slow service that I think was due to it being opening day, so I won’t hold it against the place or our server at all. All in all, a really solid burger place, a truly enjoyable meal and we will be back!” The operations of the chain’s various locations can be observed in greater detail on the television show with the same name on A&E.

Toy drives across the North Shore are a good opportunity for community members to give back this holiday season.

Give a gift to those in need Holiday spending is expected to reach its highest point since the Great Recession. According to PwC’s 2016 Holiday Outlook, consumer shopping will likely increase 10 percent compared with the 2015 holiday season. Digital sales are expected to increase 25 percent. With larger holiday budgets — an average increase of $1,121 per household — why not use some of that extra cash to spread a little holiday cheer to those less fortunate? The North Shore has a myriad of options for food and toy drives this holiday season. Suffolk County, our local towns, hamlets and even some of our neighbors are asking for nonperishable food items or gifts to make the season a little brighter for those who can’t participate in that extra spending. If there’s a willingness to spend, a willingness to share should come with it. Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) is working with Operation Veronica to collect care package supplies at her district office in Mount Sinai for military men and women. She has also teamed up with Rhonda Klch, a Miller Place resident and founder of the Equity First Foundation, to help Klch collect toy donations for the annual Holiday Dream event. To donate items to Anker’s drives, drop-offs can be done at her district office, located at 620 Route 25A, Suite B in Mount Sinai. For more information about the drives, contact her office at 631-854-1600. The Town of Brookhaven is also hosting an INTERFACE toy drive, sponsored by the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau, which will help provide presents to more than 7,000 children this holiday season. The Town of Brookhaven toy drive event is Dec. 16 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at four separate locations: the Brookhaven Town Highway Department, at 1140 Old Town Road in Coram; the New Village Recreation Center, at 20 Wireless Road in Centereach; the Rose Caracappa Senior Center, at 739 Route 25A in Mount Sinai; or the Brookhaven Calabro Airport, at 135 Dawn Drive in Shirley. For more information or other drop off locations, call the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau at 631-451-8011. Coram resident Ashley Leung will be collecting donations for her second annual Kids Need More Toy Drive, which gives gifts to children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 18 at Corrective Chiropractic in Miller Place, located at 595 Route 25A, Suite 2B. The Friends of Huntington Station Latin Quarter will host a toy drive event Saturday, Dec. 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. Residents are encouraged to drop off toys before that date at 1399 New York Ave. in Huntington Station. Gently used clothing is also being collected. Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) is hosting a holiday pet drive, with six locations in Huntington where anyone can drop off items, including the Huntington Animal Shelter at 106 Deposit Road in Huntington, Selmer’s Pet Land at 125 E. Jericho Turnpike in South Huntington and more. You can contact 631-351-3173 for more details. The Salvation Army has representatives collecting money outside of supermarkets and other shopping centers throughout the holiday season.

Holiday light decorations could disrupt plant photosynthesis.

File photo

We enjoy holiday lights, but do trees? Many people buy and hang Christmas tree lights and regular tree lights for special occasions and holidays, but studies have revealed that the bright tree lights hanging on trees all the time is harmful for the trees. As most of us know, trees and plants survive and function using photosynthesis, and sunlight is a part of photosynthesis. When the lights on the plants and trees are constantly active, it seriously affects the plant cycles. It confuses the plants, animals and organisms around it as well. The normal growth and development for trees depends on the light’s quality. William Chaney of Purdue University, says the continuous lighting is even more damaging than lighting that is turned off late in the evening. This is because the foliage of trees grown in continuous light-

ing would be larger in size and more susceptible to air pollution and water stress due to the stomatal pores in leaves remaining open for longer periods. The artificial lighting extends the day length for the plant when it is always being exposed to light. It can change flowering patterns and the continued growth. The lights can prevent the plant from flowering and reproducing, and it prevents trees from developing dormancy, which allows them to survive the harshness of the winter weather. The bright lights everywhere can disrupt the animals around as well. For instance, the lights disrupt the navigation systems of migrating birds who calibrate their flight patterns by the moon and stars. The birds (when passing brightly lit areas) then become disoriented and might

even fly into the lit buildings. Some people are starting to use fake Christmas trees for decorating, instead of using real ones, but many people still decorate the environment around them and during the winter season, hundreds of towns and cities are filled with trees and bushes doused with lights which really throws off the plants and their cycles. Imagine if someone covered the entire earth with lights and we never knew if it was morning or night. It would really throw you off, wouldn’t it? So this Christmas and for future reference, think about how your decorating affects the environment and organisms around you. For my family and me, having one artificial lit tree is enough.

Political discussion in educational institutions It is time for our financially burdened parents to recall their siblings home. We now have a crisis in our colleges, with left-leaning, Marxist professors that are politically seducing our naïve students in political agitation. Our educational system no longer structures success in ability. The result being a psychological brain-altering that leads our lambs into political confusion.

There are some students that give non-compliance in their school test and have had their test scores altered, reflecting on their freedom of opinion. Relative to our recent election, it has been reported that emotional stress has caused school staff to offer emotional counsel for their students over the election results by offering hot chocolate to soothe their stressed emotions. Hopefully,

our siblings responded with this aid. We must stop this political pabulum of brain washing and once again return to the original concepts of education. The future of our youth becomes the future of our nation. Truth today rests on the chopping block. God bless America.

opinion Reflecting on a legacy while awaiting a birth

A

lmost seven years ago, I wrote my first email to request an interview for a story. In between now and those seven years, the correspondent and I have dropped many of the formalities of our exchanges and have shared personal details. She’s known about big events in my life, mostly related to my kids, while I was aware of when she was getting married. Recently, she shared the exciting news that she is pregnant. By Daniel Dunaief I am thrilled for her and the husband I’ve never met because parenthood is such a spectacular experience, opportunity, and challenge. Less than a week after hear-

D. None of the above

ing about her pregnancy, I spoke with someone for another story I’m researching. When this person heard my last name, he immediately asked me if I was related to someone. Most of the time, that someone is my mom, who works visibly and tirelessly in the communities these newspapers serve. When I was younger and people asked me about my mother, I would look down or look away, because I couldn’t answer questions about the way my mom’s paper covered something or because I was far too busy reading the batting averages for the latest Yankees to share insights about someone who was and is such an inspiration. As I’ve grown, I’ve become more appreciative of the questions and more prepared to look people in the eye — yes, mom, I’m teaching my kids to do that, too — to hear what they have to say and to provide a thoughtful answer. But, this person wasn’t asking me about my mom. He wondered if I was

related to Dr. Dunaief, his former ophthalmologist. Hearing the question surprised me. My father died almost 30 years ago. We talk about him regularly amongst ourselves, wondering what he would have thought of the people he’d never met, including my wife, my brother’s wife and his grandchildren. We tell our children stories about him so they know who he was and they appreciate their heritage. The person said my father was a great doctor. I told my children about the interview and the mention of their grandfather. I asked them what they thought the conversation meant. Both of them looked me in the eye for a long time as they considered their answers. “He must have been a good doctor,” my son said. “Wow, that’s amazing. He made that connection all these years later,” my daughter offered. Yes, I thought, they’re right. And, they had an idea of what it means to make meaningful and lasting connections. Whatever we do, whoever

we see on a daily basis, we have an opportunity to create a legacy that extends long after we’re no longer involved in the same routine. Some parts of who we are, or who we were, remain, whether that’s through our children or grandchildren, or through the memory of an action or interaction. I remember sitting in my father’s office one day when he took me to work and watching as he pulled glass out of the eye of a patient who had been in an accident at a construction site. The patient, a man much more muscular and stronger than my father, fainted in the chair. My father calmly removed all the equipment and revived him. He demonstrated such incredible grace, control and professionalism. So, as I think about the connection between the expectant mother and the memory of my father, I hope she creates positive, lasting memories for her unborn child, even as that child grows and develops a meaningful legacy.

The joy of news — real, ‘true’ news “News” is one of my favorite fourletter words. Since I was a kid and watched the newsreels that preceded the feature films at movie theaters, before television, I have been engaged by the events that unfold around us on a daily basis. When they installed the public address system in my elementary school, instruction would stop a half hour By Leah S. Dunaief for every Friday morning as “Let’s Look at the News,” a New York City-sponsored program, was transmitted to all the classrooms. The format involved student panelists each week, and I listened with great interest. I was even on the panel at the radio station when I was in fifth grade, which necessitated my reading the daily newspapers throughout

Between you and me

the week. So in hindsight, I guess it is not so surprising that I wound up being a newspaper publisher, despite my teenage plans for a different direction. Hearing the news and interpreting its implications are as much a habit for me as breathing. So you can understand my distress at the current tsunami of fake news that has overtaken us. News, by definition and tradition, must be factual. If not, it is either a parody in the guise of news; or it is opinion or partisan, clearly presented as such; or it is propaganda, to be thus evaluated by the viewer. Now, those in the business of offering the news can certainly make mistakes, sometimes colossal ones, as in telling us that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction rather than emphasizing the fog and controversy surrounding that conclusion. Respected journalists told us that as fact, and though they believed what they were sharing, they were wrong. That is different, however, from the plethora of so-called news stories that are deliberately fabricated and shared every day with millions

thanks to access to social media. Everyone with a digital device can now become a publisher and disseminate half-truths, conspiracy theories and flagrant falsehoods as news, without any form of vetting. The more gullible or, perhaps, less informed, or those enjoying the partisan slant, like tabloid readers, are rapt viewers. Sometimes they respond, as did the North Carolina guy we heard about who shot up a pizza parlor in Washington, D.C. because he heard that there was a child-abuse ring operating there. While extreme, it is not any more false than the news that Pope Francis had endorsed Donald Trump before our recent election. Regardless of one’s political orientation, that sort of phony and hyperpartisan stuff is alarming — or should be. Further troubling is how to deal with the question of vetting versus censorship. Worst, as a result of the proliferation of so much fake news, is the confusion it sows about all news. What’s true, what’s a lie? Whom and what to believe? The marvel of the internet and mobile phones to bring

inside news about brutality of dictatorships or other previously secret horror stories to the world’s attention and thereby reduce their occurrence has now been inverted. All sorts of false horror stories can now be broadcast as truths. The impact on the real news is to diminish the effect and value of good reporting. As Thomas Jefferson preached, without an informed public, democracy is not possible. Ironically, speaking of Jefferson, he or his supporters placed deceitful and, in today’s view, libelous stories in early newspapers when he ran against John Adams for president, and Adams’ followers did the same. So this fake news epidemic is not something new; only having so many decentralized outlets for transmitting the lies is. Somehow we will sort this out, just as they did two centuries ago. Meanwhile, read the hometown newspaper. We never lie and while we are not always accurate, publishing corrections for our inadvertent mistakes in the following issue, we hold fact to be sacred.
