Northport High School law students participate in EDNY Summer Justice Institute SCHOOLNEWS
102760 Members of Northport High School’s law program and mock trial team participated in the Eastern District of New York Summer Justice Institute at the federal courthouse in CentralIncomingIslip.
When asked about her favorite part of the program, sophomore Kate Karp said, “Hearing all the different speakers and getting different perspectives,” was her favorite aspect.
Sophomore Caitlyn Murphy added “I also liked that you were able to have conversation with them as well as hear from them, so you were able to learn a lot.”
10th graders Kailey Ciszek, Kate Karp, Lily Eagen and Caitlyn Murphy as well as incoming 11th graders Molly Zambri, Maia Kramer, Sadie Callaghan and Kaden Sposato attended the week-long event. Officially titled “Justice Institute: Crime, the Constitution and the Courts,” the program is run in partnership with the Touro Law Center and the Eastern District of New York Chapter of the Federal Bar Association. Throughout the week students heard presentations from federal judges, including U.S. Circuit Judge Joseph Bianco, FBI agents, Deputy U.S. Marshals, a U.S. Secret Service agent, federal prosecutors and more. Mentored by current law school students, their lessons culminated in a mock trial competition against neighboring districts. With only a few combined hours to study the case and learn the script, students had to argue their respective sides in front of judges. Northport High School students were divided into incoming 10th graders and incoming 11th graders for their mock trial competitions. Both teams won their morning and afternoon preliminary mock trail competitions but did not compete in the final competition.
Junior Molly Zambri also noted that the mock trial competitions helped her “gain confidence” in her opening statements and improve her overall performance in mock trial. Law Program Coordinator David Scott was thrilled to see the program return after a twoyear hiatus due to the pandemic. “I knew these kids would benefit tremendously from the program. We have a great group of Northport High School students here and I am thrilled for them,” he said. The final day of the event included a presentation from keynote speaker John Tinker, plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case of Tinker v. Des Moines (1969). Tinker’s case is widely regarded as setting the precedent for student rights and free speech in America. When asked where he got his confidence to stand up for his rights came from, Mr. Tinker credited his parents as “incredibly brave people” who taught him to stand up for what he believes in. Students are looking forward to applying the skills they learned during the program to their mock trial team competitions in the fall.

Tony Futerman, the Joseph Meyerhoff professor and chair of biochemistry at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, said Hannun “pushed the field into the modern age” and suggested he had been “innovative for 30 years.”
SBM officials maintained in a statement that the “mission remains the same: to provide our patients with optimal treatment and care.” Stony Brook is seeking a candidate with “exceptional leadership skills, an illustrious career in cancer research, and who is at the forefront of cancer medicine,” SBM officials added. Paz shared his gratitude to Hannun for his “dedication to our mission and for shepherding [the cancer center] on the first leg of its journey to attaining [National Cancer Institute] status,” he wrote in his email. Stony Brook will continue to seek NCI designation. The National Cancer Institute recognizes centers that “meet rigorous standards for transdisciplinary, state-of-theart research focused on developing new and better approaches to preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer,” according to the NCI webColdsite.Spring Harbor Laboratory has such a designation.Pazindicated in the email that Hannun, who has earned numerous accolades and has blazed a trail in the field of sphingolipids, inflammation and cancer therapeutics, would remain as a part of the Stony Brook Medicine faculty.
Hannun recruited numerous faculty to Stony Brook since his arrival, many of whom shared their appreciation for the opportunity to work with and for the well-regarded scientist.
Hannun steps down as Stony Brook Cancer Center director
An H index measures how much other scientists cite a researcher’s work.
Stony Brook University’s Dr. Yusuf Hannun, an internationally recognized scientist and a leader at the school for a decade, is stepping down as head of the Stony Brook Cancer Center, Dr. Hal Paz, chief executive officer of Stony Brook Medicine announced in an email. In the email addressed to SBM leaders, Paz thanked Hannun for his leadership, recognizing his contributions to cancer research and to the Stony Brook Cancer Center. Paz suggested that Hannun would continue to serve as director until the university, which is conducting a national search, finds someone to assume that responsibility.
Hannun holds numerous National Institutes of Health grants and has an H index of 148, which is “an exceptional metric that evaluates the cumulative impact of an author’s scholarly output and performance.”
“We are grateful that Dr. Hannun will remain in his leadership role as we search for a successor,” SBM officials added.

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
everything shut down, the retired educator decided Long Island was the best place to be. Shortly after, she decided to grow milkweed, a flowering perennial plant, in her garden and encourage the growth of the monarch butterfly population. Not only did she attract the butterflies with the milkweed — the only place they will lay their eggs on — she also took their eggs and nurtured them.
SHAKERMOVERAND
Hope for monarch butterflies in Suffolk County
A Stony Brook resident is doing her part to help the ecosystem, one monarch butterfly at aTheresatime.
When the pandemic shutdowns struck, Germaine read about the monarch butterflies and how to attract and raise them. This year marked the third year of her garden and, once again, she has been busy looking for the tiny eggs, about the size of a pin, under the milkweed leaves where the butterflies lay them. She then brings them inside her home where she puts the eggs and leaves in a container.Afterthe eggs hatch, they emerge as caterpillars and are very small. Germaine puts them in mesh butterfly tents bought online along with pieces of milkweed from her garden in tubes to feed them. She has a few of the enclosures to handle each stage, from the caterpillar — larva stage — to pupa, where they form a chrysalis around themselves, and then the emergence of the butterfly.Germaine said once the monarch butterfly appears, it climbs up the side of the cage and needs time for its wings to dry. Once the monarch begins fluttering around the enclosure, she knows it’s time to release them outside. She brings the enclosure outside and allows the creatures to leave at their will.
“I’ve always kind of been a Girl Scout type of person,” Germaine said. “I was a Girl Scout when I was young, and I always had an interest in nature.” While she nurtured a dozen of the pollinators in 2020, last year she released 41 and this year so far, 45. She said she estimates that approximately 10 more butterflies will emerge before the summer ends. Over the last couple of years, Germaine has purchased more milkweed plants, and the
perennials have become more robust over time. A native of the Bronx, she taught in Manhattan for nearly 30 years, and was an assistant principal for two years in the borough. She retired in 1995, and she said she never chose to get married or have children. Germaine said while many her age may be busy with grandchildren; she was keeping herself busy with her travels and entertainment. The raising of the monarchs has been a welcomed activity. “As you get older, it’s very important that you have a purpose in life,” she said.
“There are so many negative things going on in the world that you have to find some way to make yourself feel good about something,” Germaine said. The butterflies, distinguished by their orange and black coloring with white spots, have recently been added to The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. The environmental network considers the monarchs an endangered species, even though the U.S. itself has not yet added the pollinators to its endangered-species list.
Germaine knew she had to keep busy when the pandemic shut down practically everything in 2020. Pre-COVID-19, the now 83-year-old traveled frequently, and when she wasn’t making trips, Germaine split her time between New York City and Stony Brook, where she shares a house with herWhensister.
Her hope is that everyone will grow a little milkweed in their garden to help the monarchs. She said while it’s not the most attractive plant, even a small garden with the flower in a corner of one’s property can make a difference. While the eggs have a better chance of surviving inside — more than 80% — just having milkweed can increase the monarch butterfly anywhere between 3% to 10%, Germaine said based on her research. “If everybody did their part, we would see more butterflies,” she said. “And who does not love to see a butterfly?”

Obituary
Edwin Lyle Wells, Jr. Edwin Lyle Wells, Jr., of Northport; Wells, Vermont; and Englewood, Florida; died Aug. 18 at 92. He was born on Oct. 15, 1929, in Brooklyn to Edwin Lyle Wells, Sr. and Jeanette Wickes Wells, the third of four children, and grew up on Avenue J. He graduated from Midwood High School and then worked at HJ Heinz taking tomato orders, stocking shelves and selling baby food. A lover of airplanes, Ed wanted to join the Air Force but while he was waiting for their reply he was drafted into the U.S. Army. Always the good soldier and looking for some extra pay, he was invited to join the 82nd Airborne as a paratrooper, receiving an extra $150 per jump. He was proud of his service and never went anywhere without his 82nd Airborne cap, eliciting comments galore. Once out of the Army, Ed moved to his parents’ house in Freeport, New York, where he got a “bench job” on the assembly line at Sperry Gyroscope. Eventually Sperry sent him to MacArthur Airport to install and repair airplane equipment and his first career in the aerospace industry was borne. Ed was introduced to the vivacious Doris Hubbard by his sister Betty (Elizabeth) and they married on Aug. 5, 1956, moving out to Fort Salonga to the home that Ed designed and where he spent his last days. He went to night school on the G.I. Bill, first to Pratt Institute, then received his bachelor’s in mechanical engineering at Long Island University while raising his young family. Ed went on to Stony Brook University to earn his master’s degree in 1977. In 1966, Republic Aviation, where Ed worked first as a draftsman and then an engineer, recruited him to work on the design of the wings of Boeing’s new 747, and so the young family went off on an adventure to live in Seattle for a year. When Republic went bankrupt in the 1970s, Ed got a job teaching physics and engineering courses at Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park. He was soon a beloved and excellent teacher, famous for incorporating Gumby, the bendable character, into his lessons and earned the Teacher of the Year award. Ed made a deep impact on his students, with his real-world application of physics principles and using the adage “Physics is fun!” Ed was a hard worker and taught at night at Nassau Community College. Summers were often spent working with his brother John. Ed was a creative thinker and consummate builder. A lover of boats and lakes, he built his first boat “The Flitter” while still in high school. His boyhood summers were spent at Lake George with Uncle John and Aunt Ruth Wells. There were many stories of camping on the islands with his buddies and storing their canoes under the road while they visited the bars. Every summer he loved to visit Lake George and show us the spot where they hid the canoe. His dream to own a lakeside cottage was realized when he and Doris bought four small cabins on Lake St. Catherine in Wells, Vermont. Ed spent his time renovating each one and winterizing the main house. The extended family had many joyful memories gathering at the lake where brother John also owned a home across the way. The children enjoyed parties there during their college years as well as ski trips to the area. Ed loved his boats and fished off the dock, taught the children to sail, and filled the cabin with various taxidermy.
Ed was resourceful and busy fixing everything from cars to jewelry, doing his own plumbing and electrical repairs. He built furniture, made lamps out of driftwood and intuitively understood how things worked. He was an inventor, tinkerer, determined, loyal and kind-hearted. He could be gruff but wise and generous, rugged on the outside but soft on the inside. Ed was an introvert at heart although his dry sense of humor was evident with his easy banter among family and close friends. He never missed a day of work and would fight to pay the restaurant bill. He was dependable, self-sufficient and independent. Ever the recycler and bargain hunter, he was unable to pass up a garage sale and filled his three homes with things he might make use of someday. Together with Doris, he enjoyed his retirement, reluctantly but willingly traveling the world, going on cruises and flitting between Vermont, Florida and New York. Ed will be missed by all who loved him and appreciated his many talents. Ed was predeceased by his beloved wife, Doris, in 2021and his sister Elizabeth Martin. He is lovingly survived by his four children Mary Ellen Wells (Brian McSweeney), Kenneth E. Wells (Lisa), Suzanne J. Wells, and Christy H. Wells; grandchildren Noah McSweeney, Lilly McGrath, Micah McGrath, Oliver McGrath, Dorissa Tyndall and Isaac Tyndall. He remained close to cherished siblings, Virginia Adams, age 102, and John A. Wells (Elaine). Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Nolan Funeral Home. A service was held Aug. 25 at the funeral home. Family and friends gathered at Nolan’s Friday, Aug. 26, for a prayer service before proceeding to Northport Rural Cemetery for the final committal and rendering of U.S. Army Military Honors.

Our electricity and natural gas suppliers, PSEG and National Grid, have announced their net-zero carbon goals. This is well under way in Europe with disastrous results: blackouts, shortages, rationing, sky high rates, and the reopening of fossil and nuclear plants. Germany, the EU’s industrial heart, is on the verge of collapse. With New York State and Long Island leading this program, certain disaster will result. Meanwhile Russia, China and India are opening fossil plants at a breakneck pace with reliable and cheap energy, so any carbon reductions NYS attains will have an undetectable effect on global Furthermore,emissions.wind and solar generation are about 25% nameplate capacity due to wind and solar inconsistency. A huge amount of land and sea floor must be built on, like Europe, which will destroy habitats and lock up land preventing more valuable purposes like food production. In addition, battery backup must be available not for a few hours but for weeks and that will cost trillions. There have been inextinguishable battery storage — and vehicle — fires that produce toxic gases. Thousands of miles of new transmission must be built. The quantities of materials used in wind and solar generation are many times greater than in fossil plants, they destroy the environment when mined commonly with child labor, like lithium and silicon; they are controlled by hostile governments like China; they have shorter operational life and thus raise costs, and cannot be recycled — turbine blades and solar panels.
Finally, over 1,100 scientists and professionals have published “There Is No Climate Emergency.” We have proven, reliable, costeffective and paid-for generation and gas supply. We will commit economic and societal suicide as Europe has done, switching to unreliable wind and solar power. Mark Sertoff East Northport Clean up those campaign signs
It is important to remember that climate change is a global phenomenon affecting every organism on this planet. The decisions that we make today will impact others tomorrow.
Sustainability starts in our own backyard
The Democratic and Republican parties’ 2022 congressional and state senate primary elections have come and gone. This reminds me of “The Outer Limits,” a 1960s television show. With the end of round-the clock-commercials by politicians, political action groups and pay-for-play special interest groups, we now return control of your television back to you until the November general election cycle. No more candidates campaign mailings clogging mailboxes and weighing down our hardworking postal employees. Finally, some peace and quiet. Now if only all the winning and losing candidates would pick up all the thousands of campaign signs that litter our roads and highways to clean up our environment. Candidates campaign volunteers and paid staff who placed campaign signs can collect and properly dispose of them. Why not also have some people who have been sentenced to community service by judges help out as well?

Climate change presents numerous challenges that seem to multiply with each passing year. It is an uncomfortable truth that we must make permanent changes to our own lives or face catastrophic consequences, some of which we are already seeing. Amid a brutally hot and unseasonably dry summer here on Long Island, the human race is simultaneously fighting droughts and flash floods not only in the U.S. but throughout the world. Though many of the changes needed to counteract climate change will require government intervention, there are a number of ways that citizens can help make a difference, starting with their own backyards. A typical American lawn consists of freshly cut grass, no weeds in sight, and pesticides covering every square foot. Unfortunately for us, this pretty picture is pretty bad for the health of our local environment. While the manicured lawn makes for the ideal suburban homescape, the environmental harms outweigh the aesthetic charms. Gas-guzzling mowing equipment has the obvious downside of polluting the air. In addition to killing off weeds and insects, pesticides and insecticides can contaminate water in our aquifers, harm birds and kill off beneficial insects and plants that stabilize the local ecosystem. Instead, residents should opt for electric-powered mowing equipment, which can deliver the desired outcome without polluting our air. Additionally, one can avoid adding harsh chemicals into the groundwater by introducing pest-controlling insects native to Long Island. In the TBR News Media coverage area, one Long Island citizen has converted her home into a haven for the endangered monarch butterflies. Theresa Germaine, an 83-year-old Stony Brook resident, used her time during the COVID-19 lockdown to raise monarch butterfly eggs using milkweed, the only host for monarch caterpillars, in her garden. After raising the caterpillars into metamorphosis, she releases the beautiful monarch butterflies into nature. Germaine teaches us that the contributions of the few can go a long way to improve the greater whole. With each monarch butterfly that leaves her garden, that population is a little more stable and our world a little more colorful. Germaine encourages everyone to join her cause: To plant milkweed so that the monarchs can thrive in the world. Conservation practices require us to make individual sacrifices, but through these small concessions we contribute to creating a better world. It is imperative that we do not forget our personal responsibility in protecting and helping our environment.

A self-described “high achiever” who “wants to be the best,” Langford acknowledges that she may be an over achiever as well. “Even when I reach my goal, for me, you’re supposed to,” she said. “There were times [last year] when we would win and I wouldn’t be happy. I want us to be our best.” Langford, however, recognizes that emphasizing ways to improve, even after winning a game, was not ideal for her players.
“We’re not in a league where you can have an off night and think you’re gong to win,” she said. “We’ve got to be ready to give our best.”
Thoughts from a former player and her father Former fifth-year player India Pagan, who is preparing to play professional basketball in Germany this winter (see story in Arts and Lifestyles), remains connected to her former team.
Busloads of immigrants are arriving in New York City regularly, sent from the border by the Texas governor. He doesn’t know what to do with so many, but we do. We up here in the northeast can use a lot of help, to judge from the omnipresent “Help Wanted” signs. Of course, the newcomers cannot fit into communities seamlessly, functioning in any and every job. First, they need food, housing and perhaps medical care. Their children need to be registered for school. The parents have to be interviewed to determine their skills and preferences for work. To us, it would seem there are a number of jobs that they might fill fairly quickly even if they come with no special training, and especially if they have the benefit of a translator on the work premises or on the phone. Restaurants in particular seem to be in need of additional help. Some positions there need energy and elbow grease, like busing tables, washing dishes and keeping the rooms clean. The same might be said for other parts of the hospitality and entertainment industries, like hotels and theaters. Hospitals need additional hands for cleaning and helping patients. Businesses and offices must be kept clean and neat. The same for private homes. Of great need is childcare, which in effect is a universal job but one for which applicants would have to be carefully screened. There is $7 billion of public funding available for childcare from New York State, but only some 12% of those who might qualify are aware of the program. An intense information campaign has been proposed to get the word out, and once there is a greater response, more caretakers will need to be retained and trained. The money is there to pay them. New York City has long been the gateway to America for immigrants. And America has long been the promised land for those fleeing persecution, political chaos or even war at home, or those hoping to better themselves and especially their children in a country that offers opportunity. We are a nation peopled by immigrants. While some families can brag about their long lineage here in America, the point is that at some time, ancestors came here from somewhere else, unless they are Native Americans. And the striving of immigrants to succeed and fit in has helped our country to succeed. Imagine what it must take to pull up roots, leave behind everything you know and those you love, and travel, in some instances great distances along perhaps dangerous routes, to come to America. Many don’t speak English. Others never make it here. To do so must take great courage, determination and ambition. These are skills we need. And we need people. In addition to the evidence of Help Wanted signs, we know that our birth rate is dropping. More and more couples are opting not to have children, whether because of the expense, (some $300,000 per child today), the challenge of climate change or any other reasons. We have a checkered history at best when it comes to welcoming immigrants. When I was growing up in New York City, for example, Puerto Ricans were arriving in substantial numbers. They were generally disparaged, accused of taking “American” jobs and causing crime. Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story” is a fairly accurate depiction set to music. Newcomers have had to elbow their way into the country, largely because they start out being culturally different, and differences are often feared. My neighborhood as I was growing up, Yorkville, was largely populated by Germans. Restaurants advertised various krauts and wiener schnitzel. Beer halls lined East 86th Street, with polka music spilling onto the sidewalk, luring in passersby. Some residents, who had arrived generations earlier, made fun of them and their accents. Then in my teen years, the Germans moved up and out to the suburbs and elsewhere and were replaced by Hungarians, and the restaurant “specials” signs now offered “veal paprikash.” Again the same cycle. New York City renews itself with its immigrants. So does America. We need them to remain us. as a first step After coaches and teachers advice. At the same time, however, they also have opportunities to learn, particularly after the end of one year and the start of Andanother.so it is for Stony Brook University women’s basketball coach Ashley Langford. A year after she took her first head coaching job at Stony Brook, Langford took stock of her experience, while contemplating the next steps.“I’m still high energy and enthusiastic,” Lang ford said at 3 p.m. .on the first day of school from her car as she headed to a late lunch. “I’m still ex cited to be head coach.”
“I know the DNA of certain teams,” Langford said. She recognizes, however, that teams change, which means that the Seawolves have to be “ready to pivot.”

“I’m really proud that we made it to another league,” she said. “We have to elevate our level, our intensity. I say, ‘We,’ like I’m still on the team.” Pagan said she still feels committed to a team she helped lead to consecutive conference championships.Thinkingback to the beginning of his daughter’s college basketball experience, India’s father Moises Pagan cited Stony Brook’s eagerness to recruit her.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2022 • TIMES HUNTINGTON & NORTHPORT • PAGE A19
The Seawolves coach is excited for the opportunity to compete in the Colonial Athletic Conference. After participating in the America East conference since 2001, the Stony Brook Athletic Department decided to move to the CAA starting this Langfordseason.willrely on some of her knowledge of her competition. Prior to arriving at SBU, Langford spent four years at James Madison University, which is a member of the CAA.
SB Basketball Coach Langford reflects on new league, second year
NewspapersWinningAward-Year Parents,
As she prepares the team, which includes four transfer students, for the upcoming season, she believes Stony Brook will be competitive in a demanding conference.
In her second year, Langford hopes she, her coaches and the team become more visible to the community, particularly because the team plays a “fun brand of basketball.” Her debut season involved ongoing restrictions related to the pandemic, preventing her from connecting with the community. “I need to be more visible,” Langford said. “It’s important that Long Island knows who we are.” She is eager to go into schools and engage with members of the “Communitycommunity.serviceis a huge piece of that,” Langford said. “It’s us going to schools and reading” or interacting in other ways with residents.Thissummer, the basketball program ran an elite camp for players who were not at a recruitable age. Participants in the camp can come back to games for free, which, Langford hopes, can encourage other spectators to join them. “Maybe they’ll bring a friend or two,” she said.
“The fact that they put this powerpoint together, it blew us away,” Pagan said. “We walked away saying, ‘Stony Brook really wants our daughter.’” BY DANIEL DUNAIEF
