12-year-old killed in Centerport boating accident by victoria espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com A sailing lesson ended in tragedy Tuesday afternoon, July 18, as a 12-year-old boy died after injuries from a boat propeller in Centerport. According to the Suffolk County Police Department, three children, all wearing life vests, were taking part in a sailing lesson when their boat was capsized as a controlled part of the lesson, at the Centerport Yacht Club, located on Beach Plum Drive at approximately 2:55 p.m. The 12-year-old boy was receiving sailing instructions when he fell into the water. An 18-year-old instructor who was operating a small Zodiac inflatable boat was able to pull the child from the water and

onto the Zodiac. The child was seated on the side of the Zodiac when the instructor started to move forward. The boy again fell into the water and became entangled in the propeller of the Zodiac. The instructor immediately entered the water to render aid. He and another instructor were able to pull the child onto another boat and began CPR. On shore other EMT’s assisted until a paramedic from the Centerport Fire Department responded. The child was transported to Huntington Hospital where he died from his injuries. An instructor was also admitted to Huntington Hospital for shock. The other children did not receive medical aid. Second Precinct detectives are investigating the incident.

The sounds of jazz to take over Huntington this weekend By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Huntington is set to get jazzy this upcoming weekend with the third annual Coltrane Day — part of Huntington Summer Arts Festival’s Jazz Week. The Coltrane Home in Dix Hills in conjunction with the Huntington Summer Arts Festival and the Huntington Arts Council is set to entertain hundreds of residents this Saturday, July 22 from 2 to 10:30 p.m. at Hecksher Park for an all day festival of live music and music workshops. The event is intended to be a celebration of the legacy of jazz legends John and Alice Coltrane, who lived in Dix Hills. “This is a one of a kind event — there is nothing else like it,” Ron Stein, director of Coltrane Day said in a phone interview. “The people who attend this event absolutely love it.” Stein said what makes this event so unique is that it’s more than just a day filled with musical performances, there are also music classes and workshops offered throughout the day for kids of all ages to practice their craft. Classes range from music improvisation, song writing, vocal music, hip hop, electronic music, drum circles and more. Stein said what really makes Coltrane Day shine is the community jam session.

“This brings young musicians on stage to play with professionals,” he said. “It’s my favorite part of the day because it creates such a feeling of camaraderie. To see the faces of these young kids when they walk on the stage and get to play with the pros is really special. It creates such a spirit of community — which is really the theme of the event.” Stein said the community jam is also great for parents to get an opportunity to see their kids shine on stage in a very different setting.

Huntington LIRR riders may see some relief with rebates By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com For Long Island Rail Road commuters traveling during the “Summer of Hell,” one Huntingpage a26 ton lawmaker is working to give riders some relief from delays and schedule changes that have resulted since the start of repair projects at Penn Station earlier this month. State Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (RHuntington Station) is currently drafting a bill that would give riders a rebate for their weekly or monthly train tickets. “There’s now a decrease in quality and efficiency that’s no longer just a strain on riders’ schedules,” Lupinacci said in a phone interview. “It’s now affecting professional and personal lives, making commuters late to business meetings and family dinners.” The state assemblyman said he started working on the draft for the Long Island Railroad Rider Rebate Bill after he received several hundred calls from constituents voicing their concerns and complaints with the current train service. According to Lupinacci the rebate would equal 25 percent of the price of a rider’s weekly or monthly ticket. If and when the bill passes, customers would be able to redeem their rebates at ticket booths at train

Editorial comment

‘LIRR riders... have been held hostage by this unsatisfactory service.’ — Chad Lupinacci stations. “I am introducing a bill which will propose a rebate for LIRR riders who have been held hostage by this unsatisfactory service,” he said. “If the entire LIRR is going to be affected by this construction, it is only appropriate that we compensate all who rely on the train for their livelihoods.” Lupinacci said he thinks the bill will receive support in the Assembly, and has already talked to several of his colleagues about the bill. He also said the bill has no current end time, as the rebates would cease to be approved once the railroad finishes with construction and service goes back to normal. The state assemblyman is not the only official addressing the commuting chaos. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced last month the entire Metropolitan Transportation Agency was in a state of emergency due to current delays and shutdowns of trains, subways and more. “As New Yorkers adjust their plans, we are doing everything possible to ease the burden on commuters and travelers,” Cuomo said

in a statement. He committed an additional $1 billion to the MTA in the capital plan, has proposed expanded limits on carpool lanes, and park and ride busing but has not yet proposed a rebate for New York riders. “After three weeks with no response from either Gov. Cuomo or MTA LIRR President Patrick Nowakowski, it is time for me and my legislative colleagues to take matters into our own hands,” Lupinacci said. In a letter to Cuomo, Lupinacci urged

the governor to support this idea. “As a duly-elected member of the New York State Assembly, I encourage you to designate funding that will explicitly benefit the riders of the Long Island Rail Road, with the hope that this gesture may restore faith in the system and illustrate that the State is doing its part to rectify this increasingly burdensome time for railroad travelers,” he wrote. Long Island residents have taken to Twitter, Facebook and more social media sites to express their frustration with their current traveling experiences on the Long Island Rail Road. Twitter user Jay Gelman expressed his disdain July 11 with the service. “Where is the planning??!!,” he asked.

H’ton doctors create phone bank to rally against health care bill ‘Doctors generally don’t get involved politically — I never have in my life — but this [bill] is definitely the wrong direction for American health care.’

By Victoria Espinoza Victoria@tBrnEwspapErs.com Several Huntington doctors used an unusual tool this past weekend to abide by their sworn oath to do no harm — their phones — in an effort to deter passage of the Better Care Reconciliation Act, the U.S. Senate’s answer to the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. Physicians working throughout the town gathered to participate in a phone bank, calling residents in other states to try and encourage them to call their senators and protest the bill. “The most important thing we can do right now is focus on a few key senators who will make or break this bill,” physician Eve Meltzer Krief said in a phone interview. “Senators want to hear from constituents so we’re talking to the constituents themselves. The people we spoke with this past weekend were overwhelmingly against the bill but weren’t calling their senators.” The doctors called out of a pediatric office in Huntington and focused on West Virginia residents where U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R) presides and had not yet declared if she would support the bill. “When we call as physicians people

we had to say. Doctors generally don’t get involved politically — I never have in my life — but this [bill] is definitely the wrong

direction for American health care.” For Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport), this event hit closer to home, as he was born and raised in West Virginia. His father was a schoolteacher in Welch, West Virginia. Spencer said for West Virginia citizens, health care coverage is extremely vital, especially for residents who rely on Medicaid. So if the Senate’s bill is passed and Medicaid funding is cut, people there will suffer. “The life expectancy here in Long Island is 82 years old and in West Virginia it’s 62 years old,” he said in a phone interview.

PersPectives

Protein primer Your turn

from old red blood cells, antibodies, and even proteins in the cells lining the digestive tract (which slough off, like your dead skin cells) can be “reclaimed,” providing nearly 75 percent of our daily protein requirements. Babies and children have short digestive tracts, thus fewer turnovers than adults, and are more dependent on proteins in their diet throughout the day. As victims of marketing, unwittingly influenced by the manipulative intent of profit-minded food and supplement producers, many people consume too much protein, much of it in the form of “added’” proteins. Like vitamin enrichment, we accept protein fortification in our processed foods. Some use protein shakes as quick fixes in

our busy lives. These added proteins are unnecessary and potentially unsafe. The regulation of protein supplements remains unclear, resulting in familiar brands of protein shakes that may contain dangerous levels of heavy metals! The price of these shakes can far exceed that of more healthful choices, including eggs. In addition to a thoughtfully planned whole food diet, be sure to incorporate an active lifestyle and proper sleep. These choices will give your body the stimulus and time to replenish, repair and rejuvenate itself. Chris Zenyuh is a science teacher at Harborfields High School and has been teaching for 30 years.

Thanks to Jack Benny and others, many know that practice is the way to get to Carnegie Hall, yet few understand exercise is what makes you stronger, not proteins. In America, hardly anyone lacks sufficient protein in their diet; however, most lack sufficient exercise. You get the picture. Strength (and bulk) is not all proteins are good for. As a matter of fact, that’s almost their BY chris zenYuh least important function. Proteins serve as antibodies to keep you healthy, transport vehicles for oxygen in your blood (hemoglobin), chemical signals (hormones like insulin) that manage your homeostasis, structural components (lens of your eyes, hair, nails) and as enzymes that facilitate nearly every chemical reaction in your body (your metabolism). Understanding protein structure and function will help you to appreciate their role in your body, as well as how you need to approach them in your diet. Fundamentally, proteins are like long chains of beads that may twist and/or fold, creating very specific shapes. Their shape is determined by the type and order of the “beads” within, called amino acids. Consequently, an electrical aura exists around each shape that enables them to identify and interact with other substances native or foreign to your body. Altering this electrical aura with heat, pH changes (acids or bases) or chemical interaction (free radicals) can hinder or completely disrupt the function of the protein. Of the 20 amino acid units that our body uses to form these chains, your body can make 12 of them, as long as you consume sufficient quantities of the other eight. Food sources that make these eight “essential” amino acids available to our bodies in the appropriate amounts are referred to as complete or high-quality protein sources. Nearly all animal protein sources (eggs, dairy, meat) have this amino acid profile. Most vegetable protein sources, alone, do not meet our needs, so it is necessary to eat them in combination. Thus, beans and rice are considered complementary protein sources. Peanut butter and bread (not the jelly) serve a similar function (gluten is made up of proteins). Soy stands as an exception, as it has an amino acid profile that matches our needs, hence the value of tofu in vegetarian diets. Remembering how “smart” our bodies are, only the proteins needed to repair, replace or build as needed will be used from our diets. Gender, age, activity levels and health will help determine how much protein each person should consume. Our bodies have a limited rate at which they can process proteins, so consuming too much protein at one sitting is ineffective. Excess protein is shuttled into metabolic pathways that essentially turn the unused portion into glucose. Well-trained athletes can burn the excess, but less active individuals will retain it as fat. A significant amount of our protein gets “recycled” (called protein turnover) as our smart bodies break down used proteins and redistribute the amino acids for the construction of new proteins.

County U.S. Attorney: $147M stock manipulation scheme targeted senior citizens Defendants from Port Jeff, Mount Sinai, Coram, Cold Spring Harbor, Dix Hills among those indicted By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com In a plot that could have been lifted straight from the script of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” six North Shore residents were among 14 indicted in federal court in Brooklyn July 13 for their alleged roles in a $147 million stock manipulation scheme, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. A press release regarding the indictment alleged the defendants defrauded investors by obtaining shares in five publicly traded companies from insiders at the companies for below-market prices, artificially drove up the prices of the shares, while “aggressively and repeatedly” calling and emailing victims to purchase shares — oftentimes senior citizens — and then sold their own shares between January 2014 and July 2017. “Manipulating stock prices, as alleged in this case, to appear more attractive to investors, is a deliberate attempt at sabotaging fair market trading,” Assistant Director-inCharge for the FBI’s New York field office William Sweeney Jr. said in a statement. Sweeney and acting U.S. Attorney Bridget Rohde read the indictments. “Manipulation, at its core, is a true act of deception, especially when the elderly are targeted. This scheme involved an incredible amount of money, more than $147 million. That’s no

small change for even the savviest investor. As evidenced by our arrests today, we take these matters seriously, and will continue to pursue those who make victims out of unwitting participants in these schemes.” Managers of My Street Research — a Melville based investment firm — Erik Matz, 44, of Mount Sinai and Ronald Hardy, 42, of Port Jefferson were among those indicted. They also engaged in a scheme to launder about $14.7 million in proceeds obtained as a result of the scheme, according to Rohde’s office. The government restrained Matz’s Mount Sinai home and seized bank accounts containing alleged criminally obtained money. The attorney representing Matz and Hardy did not respond to a request for comment. A phone message requesting comment from My Street Research was not returned. Dennis Verderosa, 67, and Emin L. Cohen, 33, both of Coram, and McArthur Jean, 34, of Dix Hills were among those listed as “cold-callers” for the operation. Cohen’s and Verderosa’s attorneys each declined to comment via email. Jean’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment. Robert Gilbert, 51, of Cold Spring Harbor and owner of the investment firm Accredited Investor Preview was also among the 14 people indicted. “We’re still studying the indictment, but Mr. Gilbert is mentioned substantively in

only one paragraph,” Gilbert’s attorney Ira Sorkin said in a phone interview. “He has not been incarcerated, and there is no claim any of his assets have been frozen as is the case with some of the others. Until we have a chance to read further into the indictment we will have no further comment.” The five companies whose stocks were

pushed by the “pump-and-dump” scheme were National Waste Management Holdings, Inc., CES Synergies, Inc., Grilled Cheese Truck, Hydrocarb Energy Corporation and Intelligent Content Enterprises, Inc.

Two Republicans, one Democrat vying for Suffolk sheriff job By keviN reddiNG kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Three candidates are currently in the race to become Suffolk County sheriff this November. State Sen. Phil Boyle (R-East Islip), career law enforcer Larry Zacarese (R), Boyle’s Republican primary challenger, and retired New York City police officer Dan Caroleo (D) are each hoping to inherit the position held for 12 years by Vincent DeMarco (R), who announced in May his decision not to seek a fourth term. He declined to comment on his decision. Boyle, 55, of Bay Shore, who was elected to the New York Senate in November 2012 after serving 16 years as a state assemblyman, was endorsed for sheriff by the Suffolk Conservative Party in March and was backed by both the Republican and Independent parties soon after. If elected, Boyle, a stepfather of two, said he wants to run the sheriff’s office in the most cost-effective manner possible, promote people based on merit rather than politics and halt the rise of drug overdoses and gang violence. He recently cosponsored a bill to ban the sale of machetes to minors, the weapon of choice for MS-13 gang members. The senator, who chaired and

republicans Phil Boyle and larry Zacarese and democrat dan Caroleo are running for suffolk County sheriff. helped create the state Senate’s Joint Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction in 2013 to stamp out the growing drug problem, pointed to his active involvement pushing law enforcement issues in Albany as significant qualifiers. Under the task force, 18 hearings were held across the state, which led to 11 prevention, treatment and enforcement measures passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). When it comes to immigration issues, Boyle said he disagrees with how DeMarco has run the jail. “I work closely with federal immigration agents to make sure any individuals housed in the Suffolk County

jail that agents may want to interact with due to immigration status have access to that,” Boyle said. “DeMarco, for a while, made the jail a sanctuary jail, in my opinion, and I’m definitely not going to allow that to happen.” Zacarese, 43, of Kings Park, who is currently the assistant chief of the Stony Brook University police, said he’s looking forward to the primary. Zacarese and his “army of volunteers” are currently gathering 2,000 signatures in order to run. Confident he’s not just another choice, but the better choice, for the top law enforcement job, Zacarese outlined his 25year law enforcement career. He started as a Holbrook volunteer fireman at 17, went to paramed-

ic school, then began to work in the NYPD as a patrol officer, canine handler and tactical paramedic. He became a sergeant, then deputy chief fire instructor at the Suffolk County Fire Academy and an adjunct lecturer at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University. For four years, while working at Stony Brook by day, Zacarese pursued his shelved passion, attending law school by night. He is currently admitted to practice law in the state. “My wife tells me I’m the biggest underachiever she knows,” the father of four said, laughing. “I’ve worked really hard rounding out all of the areas that are pertinent to the office of sheriff, which is much more

than just the person who oversees the correctional facilities.” He said, if elected, his main priority is the opioid crisis. “We really need to take a better look at the prevention and collaboration between addiction programs and not-for-profits, as well as how we can influence treatment while people are being incarcerated,” he said. “It’s about [providing] help while they’re in jail so when they return to their communities, they have started on the path to recovery.” Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chairman Richard Schaffer, campaign manager for Caroleo, 62, of North Babylon, who was unavailable for comment, said the former New York City police officer, director of security at the North Babylon School District and current member of the district’s school board has, “a wealth of experience, he’s wellrounded and I think he can work cooperatively with, and continue, what County Executive Steve Bellone (D), Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini, and DeMarco have laid out — making sure we continue to drive down jail population.” According to Schaffer, “Caroleo feels he has a great deal of public safety experience” that he could bring to the sheriff’s department.

Safety first

Washington Drive Primary School firstgrader Max Orza was recently honored by Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (DCenterport) as the first-place winner of the annual Be Pool Smart poster contest in the 18th Legislative District. The contest, which was established in 2007, encourages pool safety by giving elementary school students the opportunity to create a poster showcasing how to stay safe when by the water. Spencer visited the school to speak with

Max, his family, Principal Maureen Kelly and Assistant Principal Tara Falasco, where he presented the student with an official proclamation and thanked him for his excellent work. “By doing this, you help talk to other young people and tell them that you need to be safe around pools,” said Spencer. Max, who has a pool at his own home, created the poster with the words, “Be Pool Smart” and “Always Swim with a Buddy,” in large letters. He also drew arrows, signs and illustrations to stress how to stay safe.

Recent East Northport Middle School graduate Maxwell DeBrino proudly represented his district and received honorable mention at the New York State Science Congress on June 3. The young scientist also recently earned his second Broadcom MASTERS invitation based on earning first place in the junior division of the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair. Maxwell’s project titled, Feeding Frenzy: The Effect of Position, Shape and Ultraviolet Color on the Feeding Behavior of Backyard Birds, focused on the impact of color, shape and position on a bird feeder in relation to the feeding behavior of birds commonly found in the Northeast. He conducted his research from August to October 2016 and competed in the Long Island Science Congress where he received high honors for his project and second place in the biology category. As a result, Maxwell was presented with a nomination to participate in the NYS Science Congress. In addition, he attended the regional LISEF Broadcom MASTERS competition in March of 2016 where he placed among the top 10 percent of sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students who were nomi-

nated across the country to participate. Based on his high score, both Maxwell and his sister Isabella DeBrino were selected as National Broadcom MASTERS semifinalists in September of 2016. Maxwell received his second invitation to the National Broadcom MASTERS after earning first place in the junior division of the 2017 Long Island Science and Engineering Fair. He submitted his application to participate in the national competition once again and will find out in September if he is chosen as a semifinalist. Upon hearing the news that he was invited back, Maxwell was excited. “It’s a great experience,” he said. “It will help me progress in my science experiments so I can learn new things to try.” In the future, Maxwell hopes to become an ornithologist, where he can further his studies on birds. He plans to one day create a program where he can incorporate the ultraviolet coloring of a natural habitat into a rehabilitation program to help birds’ brains so that when they are released back into the wild, they have a better chance of survival. As for high school next year, Maxwell is looking forward to the change in classes and exploring more of his interest in biology.

Keep Huntington beautiful

As part of her “Keep Huntington Beautiful” campaign, Councilwoman Susan A. Berland (D) hosted her annual beach clean-up at Centerport Beach and flower planting at the Senior Beach House. Joining Councilwoman Berland were members of the Huntington Youth Council, Girl Scout Troop 334, Starbucks District Manager Greta Case and volunteers from Starbucks in East Northport and other community-spirited volunteers. Starbucks on Jericho Turnpike in East Northport provided coffee for the volunteers prior to the clean-up. Afterwards, all of the volunteers were treated to pizza courtesy of Jonny D’s Pizza of Greenlawn and Jimmy’s Pizza in Centerport.

“All of the volunteers did such a great job cleaning the beach and planting flowers at the Centerport Senior Beach House,” Berland said. “The Town of Huntington is fortunate to have beautiful beaches and I greatly appreciate all of the volunteers for helping to maintain them. I want to thank Lars Olsen and Adam Ahl from the Town of Huntington Department of Maritime Services, Greta Case and Starbucks in East Northport for providing coffee and bringing volunteers, Ray Dawson and Jonny D’s Pizza of Greenlawn and Kyle Hallberg and Jimmy’s Pizza in Centerport for donating delicious pizza for our volunteers, members of the Huntington Youth Council, Girl Scout Troop 334, the Town of Huntington Senior Center and all of the volunteers for helping to beautify Centerport Beach, plant flowers at the Senior Beach House and for their commitment to Keeping Huntington Beautiful.”

Scouts honor

Assemblymen Chad A. Lupinacci (RSouth Huntington) and Andrew Raia (REast Northport) recently congratulated four of Huntington’s newest Eagle Scouts. They are Gavin Farina, Daniel Garvey, Bailey Roda and William Seligman. Lupinacci and Raia offered congratulatory remarks to the outstanding young men and wished them well in the future. “The Boy Scouts of America, especially our local troops, expand our young men’s horizons through a wealth of knowledge and experience, contributing to our community,” said Lupinacci. “Through scouting, these young men are taught accountability and integrity, which are two major components of becoming a successful, dis-

tinguished and model citizen for younger scouts to emulate. I would like to congratulate Gavin, Daniel, Bailey and William on their impressive work and commitment to our area. I am certain that the fond memories and lifelong friends made while scouting will last a lifetime.” “The Boy Scouts of America organization plays a vital role in the lives of so many young men in our country,” said Raia. “It teaches them skills, along with valuable lessons that can be used for the rest of their lives. These four young men have become valued members of our local community, and I congratulate them on the accomplishment of becoming Eagle Scouts. I have no doubt that they will continue to be successful in their future endeavors.”

South Huntington Welcome to the USA

Assemblyman Chad A. Lupinacci (RHuntington Station) recently visited St. Hugh of Lincoln Roman Catholic Church in Huntington Station to celebrate the 2017 recognition ceremony of The Opening Word program. The Opening Word helps break down barriers for immigrant women in our local community through teaching job preparedness and English language skills to help them acclimate to American society. The 2017 ceremony also congratulated Juana Alvarez who recently was granted American citizenship. “The Opening Word Program time-andtime-again proves to be an invaluable community program which helps immigrant women to learn English and increase their professional trajectory,” said Lupinacci. “Each year, I join this incredible program to recognize the women, our new citizens, and the volunteer teachers who are so selfless in their assistance. This program shows the good that can be done when a community welcomes diversity of culture, language, and heritage, and in turn provides a forum

for all to gather and learn together.” “It is also my distinguished honor to congratulate and welcome, Juana Alvarez, who is Huntington’s newest American citizen. Along with the privileges of becoming a citizen there comes great responsibility, and I am proud that The Opening Word has given Juana the tools to be an informed citizen. I am sure that Ms. Alvarez is destined for great things and I offer her the best of luck in the future.”

Supervisor Frank P. Petrone (D) and members of the Huntington Town Board marked the 100th birthday of the service club Lions Club International June 13 with a special program honoring the five Lions Club chapters in the Town.

health care Continued from page A5 “That’s the life span of a third-world country — for a place about 500 miles away from us.” Spencer said most people he spoke to said they would call their senator after he spoke with them. “This was very personal for me,” he said. “Most people there are going about their daily lives trying to make ends meet, and they aren’t thinking about what their officials are voting on.” The legislator and Huntington-based doctor said he felt inspired after participating in the phone bank. “I felt that I was making a difference not only for the people in West Virginia but also for my constituents in Suffolk County,” he said. Although the Senate announced late Monday night they no longer had the votes to bring the health care bill to the floor, as two more Republican senators announced they would not support it, that does not mean the effort to change the current system was defeated. “I was pleased and relieved to hear that two more senators pulled out of the bill and it was dead,” Dr. Kristin Bruning, a Huntington-based child psychologist who also participated in the phone bank said in a phone interview. “But when I woke up the next morning and heard about the repeal … I am very concerned.” U.S. Sen. and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said he

SportS Huntington athletics honors intern, athlete Anna Gulizio Anna Gulizio is headed to Syracuse University, but the new Huntington graduate will always remember her senior year internship in the athletic office. An integral member of the school community, the athletic standout was one of the go-to people when anyone wanted information or needed to get something done. She is considering a career in social work. During her credit-earning internship, Gulizio worked closely with Georgia McCarthy, Huntington’s athletic director. The graduate played on three different Blue Devils varsity sports teams and seamlessly blended into the office, helping McCarthy and the secretaries and easily interacting with teachers and coaches.

‘I hope that people know that Huntington is more than just a school; it’s a community and a town and we all care about each other so much. It really is a place like no other.’ — Anna Gulizio “I loved my internship,” Gulizio said. “It was so much fun working with Mrs. McCarthy. Being an athlete, I really enjoyed getting a look behind the scenes at what actually goes on to make the Huntington athletic program as strong as it is. I’ll definitely miss fifth period in her office everyday next year.” Gulizio played soccer, basketball and outdoor track and field for the Blue Devils, serving in a leadership role in every sport. She was All-League in soccer, All-County in basketball and Academic All-County. A member of Huntington’s National Honor Society chapter and a Natural Helper, she was named a Distinguished Senior last spring after compiling at least a 90 GPA in every semester of high school. She especially enjoyed biology and physics classes, but really excelled across the board. “The staff made Huntington so special,” Gulizio said. “As much as I love all my friends, I know I’ll always have them,

I hope that people know that Huntington is more than just a school; it’s a community and a town and we all care about each other so much. It really is a place like no other.” Gulizio was honored for her work during the internship at the 49th annual Blue

Devil senior athletic awards banquet in Louis D. Giani Gymnasium. McCarthy presented her with a plaque before a crowd of about 300. The award was engraved: “It takes more than just passion for sports to stay on top of our game. Your dedication and determination to learn and participate in the management of the athletic office is appreciated. You are a true Blue Devil.” —Huntington atHletics

Huntington student-athletes receive Piccola scholarship Ryann Gaffney and Noelle Harvey gave their coaches and teammates everything they had whenever they stepped on the field for the Huntington girls lacrosse team. The duo is this year’s recipient of the Team Piccola Scholar-Athlete Community Award. Huntington athletic director Georgia McCarthy presented the twin $1,000 scholarships on behalf of the Piccola family during the 49th annual Blue Devil senior athletic awards dinner in Louis D. Giani Gymnasium. Robert and Diana Piccola are the parents of twins in Huntington’s Class of 2018. Isabella and Nolan Piccola will enter their senior year in September, and their mother is a longtime Huntington Village Lacrosse Club coach.

The Piccola scholarship was created to recognize those who play for the love of the game and who are truly interested in experiencing lacrosse in its full flavor. Gaffney is headed to Boston University to study architecture and play on the NCAA Division I lacrosse team. She excelled in soccer, indoor track and lacrosse and earned exceptional grades academically. “Ryann has been described by her coaches as a tremendous young woman who sets a positive example for her teammates,” McCarthy said during the presentation. “She is ambitious and works diligently to achieve her goals on and off the field.” She captured the heart of Huntington High School and developed strong relationships with her teachers, teammates and coaches. “I am so honored that the Piccola family has recognized my hard work both on the field and in the classroom,” Gaffney said. “I have been lucky enough to have had the chance to play with Izzy and to be honored by a friend and teammate’s family is very special. I want to thank the Piccola family for believing in me and supporting me as I continue my academic and lacrosse career into Boston University.”

Harvey will be attending Wagner College where she plans to engage in pre-med studies. She intends to ultimately pursue a graduate degree leading to a career as a physician assistant. She was recruited to play on Wagner’s NCAA Division I lacrosse team. During her senior year, Harvey served as vice president of Huntington’s Habitat for Humanity club chapter. She won varsity letters in swimming and lacrosse and compiled a superb academic record. “Noelle is a leader who truly teaches and coaches the players around her,” McCarthy said. “Her drive to always get it right adds strength and consistency to all that she is a — Noelle Harvey part of.” Harvey rebounded from a serious knee injury and subsequent surgery as an underclassman. Her commitment to rehabbing and returning to the athletic arena garnered the student-athlete the admiration of her teammates. “Winning the Piccola Award was so amazing,” Harvey said. “I am so thankful to be a student-athlete who represents what the scholarship stands for. I wouldn’t want anyone other than Ryann to win it with me.” —Huntington atHletics

Centerport wants your blood

Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci is working to get Long Island Rail Road commuters a refund after weeks of disrupted service.

Relief from the summer ‘heat’ Many Long Island Rail Road customers have spent weeks dealing with train delays and schedule changes due to repairs at Pennsylvania Station. Recently, state Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R-Huntington Station) drafted the Long Island Rail Road Rider Rebate bill that would provide commuters partial reimbursement for their weekly or monthly train tickets, and we applaud him for his efforts. In a way, the assemblyman has shown the perfect example of customer service, as he was motivated after receiving calls from constituents who were dissatisfied with the LIRR’s service. If the bill is passed, commuters will receive a rebate equivalent to 25 percent of their ticket. While being compensated for unsatisfactory service is an excellent idea, especially for working people, we know a good or bad commute can set the tone for the day. Our hope is that additional legislators will work on measures to ease the burdens of Long Island residents who commute into the city. One proposal of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is to expand the limits of carpool lanes. Currently, on the Long Island Expressway between Exits 32 to 64, a vehicle must contain two or more passengers to use the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes Monday through Friday from 6 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 8 p.m. If time limits are condensed or temporarily lifted while the LIRR experiences problems, more people would have the option to drive and park at locations closer to the city where they can then travel into Manhattan by subway or bus. It also helps those who make the regular commute by car feel less stressed by freeing up the lanes they use daily. We feel another option that would be environmentally friendly and reduce congestion in the boroughs is to offer businesses incentives to allow employees to work from home. In an era where the majority of people have access to computers, unlimited calling on their telephones and video chat services such as Skype, working from home is easier than ever. Since workers wouldn’t have to leave their homes, the option would enable them to be punctual for meetings, even if they are calling in, or be on time for family and social obligations. One individual or even a group of individuals may not have much influence over the LIRR; however, when legislators join forces with constituents, results can be achieved. We hope they are listening to the problems LIRR commuters are vocalizing during a period dubbed the “summer of hell” by Cuomo.

Because a blood emergency has been declared for the summer in the Long Island region, I am teaming up again with the New York Blood Center to host a drive. With schools being recessed for break and many residents on vacation, we have to work harder to ensure that our community maintains steady participation in blood donation. In just New York and New Jersey, 2,000 donations are needed every day to keep our hospitals sufficiently stocked. When blood is donated, it takes a minimum of 48 hours to reach a patient as it must be typed, separated and tested before it can be released to hospitals. The universal blood type O negative, which is only 6 percent of the

population, is greatly needed at this time as that blood can go to any patient, regardless of blood type. I would like to encourage all who can donate to please join our efforts on Thursday, July 20, from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Centerport Fire Department, 9 Park Circle, Centerport. Each donor will receive an electronic voucher, which they can redeem online for a pair of tickets to the New York Mets! Some of the requirements to donate include: You can donate blood once every 56 days. You must be between the ages of 16 and 75. If you are 16, you will need parental consent

If you are over the age of 75, you will need a doctor’s note. You must weigh over 110 pounds and be in good health in order to give blood. No tattoos in the last 12 months. Having blood on our hospital shelves in advance is key to saving lives. Please come out to our blood drive and help support the thousands of people who will need blood every day! If you have any questions or to schedule an appointment for the blood drive, please contact my office at 631-854-4500.

Stop the rioting and subterfuge As I write this, I am watching the latest cavalcade of communists, the masked marauders, the scions of Soros in wholesale riot mode in Hamburg, Germany. As the G20 conference is underway, the coterie of cretins have assembled to protest Trump, capitalism and anything else that comes to mind. While facing an existential threat to their existence from imbedded “immigrants” who wish to destroy, they look to capitalism and democracy as the true enemy. In addition, the dope from Park Slope, the mayor of the business capital of the world, Bill Deblasio, saw fit to fly over to join the festivities, even though Penn Station’s infrastructure is in full collapse and a New York City Police Department officer

was just assassinated. The only funny thing about all of this is the legions of anticapitalist, clueless tools, who should put their money where their masked mouths are and get rid of their Facebook, Twitter, iPad, smartphone, etc., all hallmarks of capitalism. Meanwhile, the “impeach Trump” rally in Port Jeff Station on July 2, courtesy of the ill-named North Country Peace Group brought together the usual gang of angry do-gooders, mostly from my generation, the ones who haven’t moved beyond 1968. Impeach Trump. For what? You wanted him impeached before he was elected. Marching, marching, marching to Shibboleth,again? And what’s with this LI Rising group? Rising against what? One

of their members was quoted as saying that “peaceful protest” was “the only thing available to us” and “I don’t want to see this county come to armed conflict between political factions.” Really? Then stop the rioting, the fighting language and subterfuge. Stop with the unending lingua franca of the left. Augment your invective beyond the tired words such as “bigot,” “racist,” “misogynist” and “fascist.” Donald J. Trump is now the president, whether you like it or not; the endless “marching,” rioting and ad hominem attacks have gone largely unanswered up to now, but “resistance” can easily become a two-way affair.

OpiniOn Taking time to smell the scents of summer

efore we race through August and land on September, I’d like to suggest that we stop and smell the roses, among many other scents of summer. At the top of the list of smells, on an island where marine life is never far away, is the smell of the ocean. As we lounge on our soft towels, caressed by a gentle breeze, we can breathe in the reviving, sweet smell of By Daniel Dunaief salty seawater. Go to any beach during a summer day and you’ll also find the odor of sunscreen filling the air, courtesy of those spray-on bottles that seem to miss their target and head for the nostrils of the near-

D. None of the above

est sunbather as often as they reach exposed skin. While you may not want to eat sunscreen in getting away from your office, the smell can help you appreciate your favorite season, as is the case for my wife. When you’re driving around town, you might reach a stop light or stop sign adjacent to a freshly cut lawn. I’ve always connected that smell with baseball fields, primarily because people started trimming their lawns around the same time as I played my abbreviated baseball season. When I was younger, I had as many games on my schedule in a year as this next generation seems to play in a month. The atmospheric conditions in this light-intensive time collaborate to liberate the smell of mouthwatering food. At night or on weekends, the smell of a cookout can often encourage us to make a U-turn back to the supermarket to pick up some burgers, hot dogs and chicken. I can’t drive anywhere near The

Good Steer in Lake Grove without my nose acting like a sensory GPS, taking me back to my childhood and the spectacular onion rings that filled my plate. Stand near just about any bakery in town and you’ll often have the opportunity to enjoy the best form of marketing, as the scent of freshly baked breads and cakes drifts down the street, leading us by our noses to their glass-enclosed treats. When we were younger, my mother used to get on a sailboat, unpack our pretzels, turkey sandwiches and cold waters, pick up her head as if an old friend had called to her from the middle of the Long Island Sound and proclaim, “Oh, smell.” Now, I recognize that the world is filled with the kind of foul odors that can turn a subway ride into a trip to “Dante’s Inferno” and that a visit to a friend’s house can also bring the pungency of wet dog to our nostrils. The heat and the humidity, after

all, is an equal-opportunity odor elevator, bringing everything to our attention including an awareness that the guy in the car next to us had garlic at lunch or the woman in line at the deli fell into the marsh in the morning. Still, I prefer to focus on the proverbial odor glass as being half-full, as did some of my friends, who shared their favorite summer scents. One person’s favorite smell is that of rain after the first drops fall, while another enjoys honeysuckle and the smell of jasmine from her native Beirut. A third enjoys the scent of coconut with lime or pineapple, and a fourth sings the praises of pine trees, mushrooms and wildflowers that remind him of his youth. When we breathe in deeply enough these moments of summer rain, honeysuckle, coconuts and wildflowers, we can slow down the treadmill of time.

Morning people and night owls survive the night

ere is an interesting idea. We know that sleep patterns change as we age. Older adults seem to have more difficulty getting an uninterrupted night’s sleep. Some maintain they need less sleep as they get older, although there is scientific dispute about that. Now researchers are suggesting that such changes “may be an evolutionary adaptation that helped our ancestors survive the night,” according to a New York Times SciBy Leah S. Dunaief ence item titled, “Alive One More Day, Thanks to Grandma’s Insomnia” by Aneri Pattani. Younger people tend to stay awake later and sleep later. With different hours for sleeping, at least

Between you and me

one generation was awake or lightly dozing at all times through human history to be on guard for the rest, a sort of inadvertent night watch. That makes me feel a bit better when I wake up at 3 a.m. and can’t fall back to sleep. Now I know I am on guard duty and there is a purpose to my tossing and turning. Curiously I can usually fall asleep again with the breaking dawn and always half an hour before the alarm is set to go off. So maybe there is something to the night watch theory. With the coming light, others will awake, it is safer, and sleep can be resumed. Come to think of it, the whole idea of sleep is compelling. Sleep, for all the studies, is still mysterious. The ancients revered sleep for what was revealed through dreams. That’s also true for some not-so-ancients, right up to Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof,” when he persuades his wife to let their daughter marry the poor tailor, not the rich butcher, because of his alleged dream. We spend about one-third of

our lives asleep, or at least we are supposed to according to medical standards, yet there are some who resent that time lost. Sleep refreshes us, reenergizes us, even strengthens our immune systems. Yet some say, “I’ll sleep when I am dead,” and try to plow through the days with just short naps. Sooner or later, that deficit catches up with them. Those are the folks who can be found asleep on the subway, at the opera or during an early morning lecture. How we go to sleep is as fascinating as the fact that we do. There are those who read themselves to sleep, whose eyes get heavy to the point that they can just drop off. Some have to unwind from their activities for a couple of hours in front of the TV before they can relax sufficiently to put themselves to sleep. I am one of those teapots: Just tip me over and pour me out. When it is time to go to sleep, I get into bed and most of the time, once prone, I almost immediately fall asleep. Did I learn as a young child to put myself to sleep? Or is it genetic? My

husband fell asleep only after a nightly battle with the sleep demon. We had three children. One goes through a routine that he has devised to fall asleep, one struggles with difficulty to fall asleep and one, like me, just lies down and is out. While that last scenario sounds preferable, we who fall asleep easily need sleep urgently. I go from 9 or 10 to zero energy in remarkably short order. Then, if I don’t allow myself sleep, I am almost in pain. I used to sleep eight-and-a-half uninterrupted hours, then wake up ready to sing, but now there are those interruptions. Biological clocks are also interesting. There are those who need to go to bed at 9 or 10 o’clock at night, and then again there are some who don’t feel sleepy until 1:30 or 2 o’clock in the morning. Those are usually classified as morning people or night owls. It’s usually best if those opposites aren’t married to each other. But then again, they can take turns feeding the newborn or standing the night watch.
