Activists take to Flanagan’s office for transgender rights By Phil Corso Activists took to the Smithtown office of state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) over the weekend to express their disappointment with the legislature’s failure to pass a state civil rights bill for the transgender community. GENDA, also known as the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, would have helped restrict discrimination against transgender citizens in areas of housing, employment or public access, which could include things like restaurants or cab rides. The bill, which made it through the state Assembly for nine years straight, died in the Senate when the legislative session ended last week, spurring the Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition to protest outside Flanagan’s office on Saturday. “The transgender community has again been prevented from receiving the basic protections all New Yorkers enjoy” said Juli GreyOwens, executive director of the Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition. “In the past, Sen. Flanagan had said he supported this bill to protect his transgender constituents, but now that he has the power to finally bring the bill to the floor for a vote, he seems to have forgotten his commitment to us.” The Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition is a not-for-profit social justice organization dedicated to advancing the equality of transgender people through advocacy, teaching and empowerment. The group hosted a community forum back in

Protestors hold up signs along Main street in smithtown on saturday in protest of the senate failing to vote on GENDA. March alongside other activist organizations calling for the Senate to step up and pass the legislation, or at the very least, move the conversation forward. At that time, Flanagan spokesman Scott Reif said the Senate majority leader “prides himself on being open and transparent,” adding that Flanagan was listening. “The senator routinely meets with all groups, as he has done for 30 years, throughout his entire public career, re-

gardless of whether he agrees with them or not,” Reif said in an email to TBR News Media in March. “The decision to take a meeting is never influenced by a group’s position on an issue; it is dictated solely by what his schedule will allow.” Grey-Owens said the transgender community was a constant target of discrimination, and Saturday’s demonstration came less than one week after a gunman opened fire at a gay club in Florida, mur-

dering 49 patrons, in what quickly became the biggest mass shooting in U.S. history. “The National Transgender Discrimination Survey showed that 26 percent of trans people lost a job due to bias, 50 percent were harassed on the job, 20 percent were evicted or denied housing, and 78 percent of trans students were harassed or assaulted,” Grey-Owens said. “We will continue to fight for our community and the rights that are being denied us.”

Nazi items, bomb manual and rifles found in LI home BY Desirée Keegan Assault rifles and bomb-making instructions were just a few of the items found inside a Mount Sinai home early last Thursday. At 6 a.m., on Miller Place Middle Island Road, just before it merges into Mt. SinaiCoram Road and Miller Place Road, brothers Edward and Sean Perkowski were arrested after authorities executing a search warrant uncovered a .40-caliber Glock, six assault rifles, four rifles, 25 high-capacity magazines, one shotgun, one stun gun, more than $40,000 in cash, approximately 4 ounces of marijuana, approximately 26 grams of illegal mushrooms, 14 knives and between 3,000 and 5,000 rounds of ammunition, Nazi material and a self-made manual on how to make bomb. The Nazi-related material included framed photos of Adolf Hitler, Nazi flags with swastikas and books on white supremacy. Edward Perkowski, 29, currently faces drugs and weapon charges, and Sean, 25, was charged with an outstanding warrant. “This was a public threat on multiple fronts,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini said. “We have two individuals who clearly subscribe to a hateful, violent ideology, who had an illegal arsenal at their fingertips.” Although unable to discuss the details of the case as the investigation is still ongoing, such as if an event to use the arsenal of weapons was planned, whether they’ve been

cooperative or if they were working alone or as part of a group, Sini said the department is currently working with the Joint Terrorism Task Force, which is made up of local police department and federal agencies, including the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “Today’s search warrant might have prevented a deadly, violent incident, like the one we recently saw in Orlando,” Sini said. “We [SCPD] can only do our job most effectively if we have [residents] cooperation and collaboration.” Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said he’s never seen such coordinated police activity in all his years as an elected official, in regard to going after drug dealers and those promoting hate. “Obviously this was a drug house, but drugs were only part of the problem,” he said. “This was a house infected with that disease called hate, and we want to stop hate in this country. There’s enough of it, and we’ve seen what hate can do and how it can destroy and hurt our nation.” John Leonard, a neighbor who has lived two houses down for 18 years, said there was a brawl out in front of the home a couple of months ago, and 911 was called. When he saw the public police report following the search warrant, he went to police headquarters to offer his help. “I’ve never spoke to them, we keep our distance,” he said. “There’s four or five cars

some of the nazi-related items, weapons and cash found in the Mount sinai home. parked in front [of the house] at all times and constant cars coming in and out. I had my car broken into in the driveway about a year ago. We found prescription medication laying out in the street a couple of months ago.” What he said horrified him, though, was the large bomb-making manual found, which included hand-written and printed out material. “That scares the hell out of me,” he said. “That takes it to a whole new level.” While Sini cannot say what pointed the department in the direction of the home, the commissioner explained it took time to get probable cause to establish a case, and tips from residents have been instrumental in much of the police’s recent findings. He said more than 600 tips on drug homes

and drug spots in local communities have come through the 631-852-NARC hotline, which Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) was instrumental in launching. “We need to use our most vital resource, and that is the residents of Suffolk County,” Anker said. “We need to have a safer environment, but we need that information from the public.” To report any information regarding the suspects from the Mount Sinai case, call 800-220-TIPS. “We took two dangerous individuals off the street,” Sini said. “The fact that this is in our backyard is very concerning. That’s why the message today is to the public. Regarding criminal activity, please call the tips hotline or 911 immediately.”

Garret Warren, left, celebrates the largest fish ever captured at the tournament.

By Joseph Wolkin The bait came out and so did smiles across the faces of 43 children on Saturday, June 11. The 14th annual Friends of Caleb Smith Preserve’s Junior Angler Fishing Tournament was a big catch for Smithtown’s youth. As the bait flew into the water, the kids battled one another to see who would catch the most fish, the largest pan one, along with the biggest “other” fish. One of two natural preserves on Long Island, Caleb Smith State Park Preserve sits amidst 543 acres in Smithtown. Named after Caleb Smith, who was a judge for the Court of Common Pleas of Suffolk County, along with being a member of the state assembly in the 18th century, the property was dedicated in his name when it was acquired by the state in 1963. At the end of the tournament, Garrett Warren, 11, came home with the largest fish of the day. Warren set a record for the largest fish caught in the tournament’s 14year history, catching a 19.5-inch bass and shattering the previous record of approximately 15 inches. “The fish cooperated and nearly every child caught a fish,” Tom Tokosh, president of the tournament, said. “Last year, we were in the neighborhood of maybe 32 [kids]. It goes year-to-year. I think we did better with marketing this year. I went to some trade shows and put flyers out and stuff. “We also had a high participation rate.

Last year, we had 25 people sign up for the afternoon session, but only 18 showed up. It depends on the weekend I think.” 10-year-old Erik Trovitch ended the day with the most fish caught, reeling in 17 creatures during the afternoon session for kids 9 to 12. Parents were not allowed to help their children during the afternoon session. However, during the morning round, parents could cast the line, but the children needed to reel the fish in and bring them to shore. During the morning session, which featured children from ages 5 to 8, 6-yearold Anderson Martinez won first prize for catching a morning-high 12 fish. Additionally, Veronica Leitner, 5, caught the largest “other” fish, bringing home a 14inch bass. “All of the fish were released,” Tokosh explained. “We might have hurt a few getting the hooks out, but basically, all of the fish were released. The kids had a great time, and it’s a good experience for them with their parents to bond and do stuff together.” At the completion of the tournament, 204 fish were caught, measured and released, breaking the previous record of just under 200 fish caught during the tournament, according to Tokosh. Among those also winning trophies were 9-year-old Gianna Valenti in the largest pan fish category and Brendan Lee-McGraw, 6, in the same section but during the morning round.

Smithtown students from closed elementary school learn their fate By Alex Petroski Branch Brook parents finally have some clarity after months of debate, anger and sadness. Since Nov. 2015, it has been unclear where Smithtown school district residents who send their kids to Branch Brook Elementary School, one of the district’s eight currently open elementary schools, will be sending their kids when Branch Brook closes ahead of the 2017-18 school year. At a board of education meeting Tuesday, Superintendent James Grossane announced which of his five proposed plans and one parent-proposed sixth option he would be selecting, which he was charged with doing by the board after they voted to close Branch Brook in February. Grossane chose Option 4, which has been amended since the options were introduced about eight months ago, but includes most of the main points. Fifty-nine percent of current Branch Brook families will be attending Mount Pleasant Elementary in the fall of 2017, while the remaining 41 percent will move to Tackan Elementary School, according to Grossane. Branch Brook territory is currently bordered to the east by Southern Boulevard, which meets the southern border at Townline Road. The northeastern corner of Branch Brook territory is the corner of Smithtown Bypass and Southern Boulevard. A few neighborhoods north of Smithtown Bypass and east of Terry Road are currently Branch Brook. The western border includes a large chunk of Smithtown Bypass, then splits and heads directly

south to meet Townline Road near Helen Avenue. The new district lines will use Terry Road, which becomes Smithtown Boulevard south of Smithtown Bypass, as a dividing line. Homes east of Terry Road that were Branch Brook territory will now be Tackan, while the west side of Terry Road will be Mount Pleasant, with some exceptions. Grossane left the door open to the possibility of keeping students who would have been fifth-graders in Branch Brook in 2017-18 together, sending them all to Tackan for that year, though he said that is not ideal. “There’s going to be quite a few students from Branch Brook in either building in each classroom, so no one will be alone,” Grossane said, which should somewhat ease a concern parents of Branch Brook students raised throughout the process, that changing schools could be traumatic and difficult for young kids. The redrawing of lines will also alter the feeder system to the district’s two high schools, though Grossane said he will give families the option of keeping their younger children on track to attend one of the two high schools if the family already has older kids at one, to avoid having a family with kids in different high schools. Grossane said both Tackan and Mount Pleasant will be operating at about 93 percent of their capacity during 2017-18, but the class sizes for both schools should remain below the district’s preferred average size of 28 students. At least one Mount Pleasant parent and

PTA member was glad to hear students in no school other than Branch Brook would be displaced as a result of the closure and subsequent redrawing of district lines. “Thank you very much Dr. Grossane for not removing any Mount Pleasant students who are currently enrolled, and I want to say welcome to the Branch Brook family,” Deb Phillips said during the meeting Tues-

day. “You are going to love Mount Pleasant. … There’s so many great things, and we welcome you with open arms.” A transitional committee will begin meeting in the coming weeks and months to handle the mechanics of the changes. The committee will include administrators and principals from all three applicable elementary schools.

Commack school district announces new HS principal By Phil Corso The Commack Board of Education announced the appointment of Leslie Boritz as the new Commack High School principal, effective July 1. The decision capped what the district called an intensive search process for a dynamic leader who will continue to support its vision of student achievement through access and opportunity. Boritz is a proud Commack alumnus, and has worked as an assistant principal at the high school since July 2011. Her 22 years of service in Commack schools also includes 11 years as an assistant principal at Commack Middle School. “I have passionately dedicated my life to the students of our community, and will continue to do so,” Boritz said. “I look forward to continuing the traditions and upholding the high standards of our

school, and am thrilled to be the next principal of Commack High School.” Her credentials include master’s degrees in both arts and education, and further degrees in school district administration and supervision. She is the recipient of many honors and awards, including Commack PTA’s Distinguished Service Award. “The list of Mrs. Boritz’s contributions to our district is endless,” said Superintendent Donald James. “She has served on hundreds of committees, coordinated and designed academic initiatives that benefit our schools and students, and volunteers for countless activities that benefit others. She is well qualified as a leader, with endless enthusiasm and compassion, along with a deep understanding of the culture of our high school and community. We are confident that Leslie will embrace her new position and give it her all.”

KPHS: Nine Eagle Scouts in 2016 Kings Park Central School District was recently informed that they have nine Eagle Scouts in the graduating Class of 2016. While less than 4 percent of all Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, the Kings Park High School Class of 2016 has far exceeded this mark. The Scouts’ service projects have made a lasting impact in their community. You can find their work at the San Remo Administrative Building, Kings Park High School, Caleb Smith State Park Preserve, Lucien Memorial Church, American

Legion Post 944, Sweetbriar Nature Center and St. Joseph’s Church. Two words that Kings Park Superintendent Timothy Eagen, himself an Eagle Scout, typically uses to describe Kings Park’s brand are pride and service. According to Eagen, “I have never lived or worked in a community that is as devoted to service as Kings Park. Whether we are raising money for cancer or ALS research, participating in Stuff-a-Bus, or attending a luncheon for blind veterans, Kings Parkers value service like no other community.” These nine Eagle Scouts serve as fine examples of the quality of young people that graduate from Kings Park High School.

In Congressional race, Suozzi wants to fight status quo By Alex Petroski Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) is one of five candidates vying for the Democratic nomination in the 3rd Congressional District to win the right to face off against Republican Jack Martins (R-Mineola) in November. The seat was previously held by U.S. Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington), who announced in January he would not seek reelection after 15 years in the seat. Suozzi will square off with Suffolk County Legislator Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills), former North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jon Kaiman (D-Great Neck), North Hempstead Town Board member Anna Kaplan and attorney Jonathan Clarke in the June 28 primary. Suozzi served as Nassau County Executive from 2002 to 2009 and mayor of Glen Cove from 1994 to 2001, but has been out of politics for about six years. He is a certified public accountant and is currently of counsel to Harris Beach law firm in Uniondale. He lives in Glen Cove with his wife Helene and their three children. In his time in office, Suozzi said he fought to root out corruption in state politics and was named environmentalist of the year by the New York League of Conservation Voters, a statewide environmental organization. The candidate spoke to voters from Kings Park last Thursday at a town hall at American Legion Post 944. He pledged to display two important traits to voters: a willingness to take on the status quo in politics and a desire to cooperate across the partisan aisle.

tom suozzi speaks to voters. “If there’s one thing I’m convinced of, it’s that everyone is sick and tired of politics,” Suozzi said. “People have just had it with government. They’re frustrated. They see too many problems in their lives that are not being addressed in the political arena.” He vowed to take on corporations and

special interests that have a stake in government policies remaining status quo. A main topic of conversation at the town hall was affordable health care. Suozzi said he would be in support of a voucher program that would create a hybrid health care system, allowing taxpayers

media

to choose the best option for them, be it Medicare/Medicaid or a private insurance. In 2004 he fought to create a cap on local Medicaid expenses. Suozzi also said he believes an ideal candidate is a moderate one that doesn’t swing too far to either side of the issues. “To win a democratic primary you’ve got to go way to the left,” Suozzi said. “To win a republican primary you’ve got to go way to the right. So people end up in office who are at these two extremes and they won’t do anything in the middle to actually solve the problems. All they’re doing is yelling at each other. We have to figure out how we can get people of good will who actually care about doing these jobs, who also actually do something, not just get the job, but do the job, to come together and actually solve some problems.” Care for veterans was another issue raised by a Kings Park voter at the event. “I believe that the number one obligation that government has … is to take care of veterans,” Suozzi said. “We have to figure out how to create a program where there’s a transition from the armed forces back into society again and it has got to be made a priority.” Suozzi was also pressed about drug addiction on Long Island. He said he’d like to see addiction to substances like heroin treated more as a disease than a crime, with an emphasis on prevention at younger ages, rather than simply treatment after the fact.

St. James church honors FDNY chief who died on Sept. 11 By Phil Corso

All of Smithtown came to a stop on Friday as the community said a final goodbye to one of its own. FDNY Battalion Chief Lawrence T. Stack of Lake Ronkonkoma was laid to rest at Saints Philip and James Roman Catholic Church of St. James nearly 15 years after his death on Sept. 11, 2001. The North Shore native, who died helping others in the horrific terrorist attacks of that tragic day, was never recovered from the rubble, forcing his family to hold out hope for a proper Catholic funeral ever since. A bizarre twist of fate made Stack’s funeral and burial possible on Friday, on what would have been his 49th wedding anniversary with his wife Theresa. While his remains were never found, two vials of blood he donated to a bone marrow bank nearly six months before his death allowed his family to orchestrate a final goodbye in Smithtown. Lawrence Stack, 58, received a full line-of-duty service on Friday as Smithtown shut down several streets surrounding the St. James church to accommodate the number of people who stopped to honor him, including Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D), New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and countless more distinguished guests. It wasn’t until a year ago that his wife Theresa Stack said she remembered she and her husband donating blood about six months before 9/11 with hopes of matching a Long Island boy who was fighting cancer. Upon remembering and pursuing that blood, Theresa Stack said she found it in a Minnesota blood bank. That blood was buried on Friday. “We’ve always honored him, respected him, loved him, and we never forgot him. But now he will rest with the members of the FDNY and the military at the Calverton National Cemetery,” wife Theresa Stack said. “I’m happy, and my family is happy, that we finally have some place to go to. I want Larry’s story to be out there so people don’t forget that there are families still suffering from that terrible day.” Lawrence Stack’s son Michael, who is a lieutenant with the FDNY with Ladder 176, said he would remember his father as someone dedicated to helping others at any cost. In a statement to the FDNY’s Facebook page, Michael Stack detailed the accounts he received of his father’s last day. “On Sept. 11, 2001, he was at the safety battalion at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, putting the finishing touches on the [fatal] Father’s Day fire report, when he heard about the plane hitting the north tower,” he said. “He went on the roof, looked through his binocu-

lars, and saw the south tower get hit with the second plane. He put his binoculars down, looked to the other chiefs and firefighters and said, ‘Guys, I think they’re going to need us over there.’” Brian Stack of Ladder 123 was 30 years old when his father died in the Sept. 11 attacks. He said he was thankful to have been able to spend as much time as he did with his father, and felt for the younger children of other heroes who died that day. “I understood what happened on September 11 because it’s work, it’s the fire department. Danger is always right around the corner. It’s part of the job. I was 30 years old when he died, and I know that I’m lucky that I got more time with my father than some of the men and women coming on the job now,” Brian Stack said. “They were much younger when they lost their fathers. We were fortunate to have so many years with him in our lives.” In a statement, the New York Blood Center said it was an honor to help bring peace to the Stack family. “To every member of the FDNY, NYPD and to every rescue worker: We honor you all,” the center said in a statement on its Facebook page. “We honor those fallen in the line of service and those who serve. You protect life in our communities with determination, vision and courage every single day.” Lawrence Stack worked with the FDNY for 33 years and was one of 343 FDNY members who died on Sept. 11th. He joined the department in 1968, first assigned to Ladder Company 107 and then Ladder Company 175 in Brooklyn. In 1981, he was promoted to lieutenant and assigned to Ladder Company 35 in Manhattan. Three years later, he was promoted to captain and assigned to Division 7 in the Bronx, and in 1990, he was promoted to battalion chief, working in Queens at the Bureau of Operations and the Safety Battalion. Prior to joining the FDNY, he served in the United States Navy for six years, including a tour of duty in the Vietnam War.

Fighting for cleaner water: County Executive Bellone

Photo by Desirée Keegan

Police Chief Stuart Cameron and Commissioner Tim Sini display a confiscated bomb manual.

Your gut is probably right American leaders in recent years have often spoken about the U.S. having a hostile political and social climate; a climate in which people are not tolerant of others’ views and in which disagreements sometimes degenerate into verbal or physical assaults. Certainly many of us have encountered such instances or felt the sting of another person’s unprovoked hatred at some point in our lives, perhaps in the form of blind political opposition, religious intolerance or racial prejudice. And there have been times when an ideology has endangered our personal safety, such as when Dylann Roof killed nine people at a historic black church in Charleston or when Omar Mateen opened fire at an Orlando gay nightclub, murdering 49 and injuring dozens of others — and killing many LGBT people’s already tenuous sense of safety. Or when pro-Nazi materials were uncovered in a Long Island home alongside numerous weapons and a manual on how to make a bomb. The Nazis did not go away with the end of World War II; the disgusting, disturbing views of Adolf Hitler have lived on in people throughout the world, whether they specifically support the swastika or simply have similar ideas and values. So it’s hard to say whether two brothers who were arrested after authorities with a search warrant seized framed photos of Hitler, Nazi flags, and books on white supremacy — as well as guns, drugs and other items — from their North Shore home last week, were always Hitler fans or just persuaded by the recent U.S. social climate. Whatever the case may be, it’s important more than ever to be vigilant and to speak out when our gut tells us something is wrong. Mateen had been an aggressive person throughout his life and had made violent threats before, according to media reports. Some incidents were reported at the time and others not until our nation was picking up the pieces after he exploded at Pulse. Maybe things could have been different if more people around Mateen had the courage to speak out when he said troubling things or displayed violent or unstable tendencies. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini said community tips helped authorities ahead of their raid last week at the brothers’ Mount Sinai home. One neighbor described knowing something bad was going on because of a brawl outside the home, cars coming and going at all hours and prescription medication found in the street. And that was not the first time neighborhood callers helped catch dangerous criminals in Suffolk, or anywhere else for that matter. Please, don’t be afraid of being wrong or sounding prejudiced. If you get a bad feeling about something, if you suspect something strange is going on, it probably is. Call the police — they are encouraging it — and help us keep our families and friends safe.

I applaud the TBR News Media for its support of efforts to protect water quality. As I have stated, nitrogen pollution in our water is public water enemy number one in Suffolk County. We know the impact it has—harmful algal blooms, closed beaches, decimated wetlands which leave our low-lying communities at risk from storms like Sandy, and impacts on our water supply which come from the aquifer below our feet. And we know the cause of this nitrogen pollution, which is the fact that 360,000 Suffolk County homes—nearly three out of four—are unsewered. But it is not enough to understand the problem, my job as County Executive is to propose and implement solutions. We have begun to make progress, including securing $383 million in funds from Governor Cuomo to expand clean water infrastructure and the new Center for Clean Water Technology at Stony Brook University, which will focus on innovation and the development of new technologies. But, in order to make critical prog-

ress, Suffolk County needs a stable, recurring revenue source dedicated for clean water infrastructure to halt nitrogen pollution by implementing Suffolk County’s comprehensive plan which includes helping homeowners remove old cesspools and in some places connect to sewers or install advanced on-site treatment systems. I had proposed putting a referendum on this November’s ballot to give voters the right to decide on adding a modest fee to some of the lowest water bills in the nation to create such a fund. Unfortunately, like so many things, this issue has become mired in partisan politics and the people will be denied that choice this November. I appreciate the paper’s support for my proposal and advocacy for me to move forward and enact it unilaterally — “Water issue drops after proposal is poopooed,” June 16. However, this proposal requires New York State enabling legislation, and absent that, it cannot move forward. Even if that were not the case, I believe that this issue is sufficiently important that we

must hear from the voters. Unlike those who stalled this proposal, I am very comfortable putting this issue in the hands of the voters. Suffolk County voters understand the threat to our water quality and they are willing to be a part of the solution. I also want to make it clear that while we will not make as much progress as I would like to see as quickly as I would like to see it, we will continue to advocate. I will also continue to reach out to everyone, including those who opposed this proposal and solicit their ideas on how we can make progress on this issue or how we can strengthen the proposal. Clean water should be the birthright of every Long Islander and we will tackle this crisis together and reclaim our water. We know the problem, we know the solution, we have the will, we have the plan. We need to let Suffolk County residents decide if they want to invest in protecting our water quality for themselves and generations yet to come. Steve Bellone, Executive Suffolk County

Let’s speak truth in love: Centereach reverend The Orlando massacre was “targeted against gays.” Okay. I get it. Why can’t you get or say what else is obvious, in this case and many others: It was done in the name of Allah by a radical jihadist Muslim in accordance with Muhammad’s words and example and the preaching of many modern radical-

ized Muslim clerics. You say, “We are all gay. We are all lesbian, bisexuals and transgender.” Did you say we were all Christians after the Charleston Bible study members were massacred? We are neither all gay nor all Christians. But we are all Americans who hopefully can disagree with another’s opinions,

beliefs and lifestyles without killing each other, silencing each other with political correctness or blaming each other for atrocities we neither do nor condone. Let’s speak the truth in love and not sacrifice either. It is the way of Christ. Rev. Ronald Stelzer Our Savior Lutheran Church Centereach

Resolutions for the presidential election fight W e’ve got hot summer nights on the horizon. Come on, it’s an election year. In thinking about the days ahead of heated debates, accusations and counter accusations, I made some resolutions I’d like to share: • I resolve not to get too caught up in politics. No, seriously. I’m not going to count the days — 138, but who’s counting? — before the election. • I resolve not to study a single By Daniel Dunaief political poll between now and Nov. 8, which is, as I mentioned but we’re not going to talk about, 138 days away. • I resolve I will not watch too

D. None of the above

many debates when I have better things to do. I might need to clip my toenails. Or, maybe, a movie I’ve seen 20 times, like “Bull Durham” will be on TV and I’ll just have to watch that scene one more time when the players come to the mound to discuss wedding gifts and cursed gloves. • I resolve not to focus on the number of times either candidate calls the other one a liar. If they do, however, I resolve to imagine that candidate adding, “liar, liar, pants on fire,” to add some levity to the accusation. • I resolve not to worry too much that one of these two people whom I don’t particularly like will be president. Seriously, we’ve got all these people eager for power and these two are the best we can find? Not everyone wants to be president, but doesn’t this seem like the perfect time for a dark horse to throw his or her hat in the ring? • I resolve to avoid listening to pundits. I don’t want to hear how you absolutely think your candidate

won the debate and the other candidate completely lost the debate, the election and his or her mind the other night. Can you imagine two pundits watching everything you did in a day? Pundit 1: “Oh, he totally nailed that plaque on his teeth. He won’t need to brush his teeth for a week after a performance like that.” Pundit 2: “Are you kidding? Do you think he gave the molars any attention? I’ve spoken to the molars and they are feeling neglected. I have a way to brush that would fight for every tooth and not just the ones on top.” My only pundit exception is David Gergen: He’s smart and funny, has a deep authoritative voice and he’s really tall, so it looks like he’s observing everything from on high. Besides, in the early 1990s I met him, not to name drop or anything, and he actually listened carefully to a question I asked. • I resolve to do 10 push-ups every

June solstice: The day the sun stands still A s I sit at my desk, typing this column, I am enjoying the longest day of the year, June solstice. It will not get dark until almost 9 p.m., and the June light makes our world sparkle. Recently we have been living through some of the most beautiful days with temperature and humidity in the Goldilocks range: not too hot and not too cold. It is also the first day of By Leah S. Dunaief summer, a word that always brings a smile to my face. What do you think of immediately when you think of summer? I conjure up cherries, watermelon and corn on the cob; then there are ice cream, lemonade, lobster rolls and backyard barbecues for lots of socializing. Lest

Between you and me

you think that all I fantasize about is food, there are those luxuriously lazy days reading at the beach or at the pool ... and oh those sweet summer nights. Time seems to slow down a bit and we get to relax amid less structure in our lives. There are other reasons to be happier when the days are longer. Because we are phototropic beings, the presence of sunlight is important to us, more so for some of us than others. Many people suffer to varying degrees from seasonal affective disorder during the winter, when the days are shorter. Natural sunlight is a freely available mood enhancer, causing us to produce vitamin D, which in addition to helping with the absorption of calcium, also affects our levels of serotonin and melatonin and hence our feelings of satisfaction. When there is little sunlight, some people can suffer from depression. Light therapy, with specially designed lights and vitamin D plus melatonin supplements can combat SAD to a degree, although no one really knows why some are susceptible.

More affected are women, those living farthest from the equator (e.g., the Eskimo) and those with a family history. Chemical makeup, age and genetics also seem to be factors.

time I hear one of the candidates, in an advertisement or during a TV or radio news program, use the word “fight.” I figure if they argue that they’ll fight for me, I might as well fight for my own fitness. Maybe I’ll do 20 sit-ups every time I watch them shake their heads in frustration when describing the ridiculous and calamitous choice on the other side of the aisle. • I resolve to think of the two candidates as the leaders of their packs on a middle school playground. Each time one of them is emotionally wounded and levels accusations against the other, I will imagine that they are just going through a difficult phase in their political career and that they’ll be OK once they get to high school. • Finally, no matter what, I resolve to remind myself that the Constitution guarantees us checks and balances. That means, regardless of the final “winner,” other leaders can protect all our interests.

But there is no SAD during summer solstice. This is the time of the longest light, when the sun seems to stand still in the sky before reversing its direction for the rest of the year. Of course the earth rotates around the sun, rather than vice versa, and as the earth moves away on its axis, it seems the sun is moving lower and lower across the sky through the remaining six months. June solstice has inspired countless festivals, celebrations and religious events. Stonehenge, that mysterious megalithic structure in England, was clearly built to mark the solstices for the stones are lined up accordingly to receive the sunlight (there were some 12,000 people in attendance this year). Oops, I didn’t mean to get so carried away with technical stuff. Nonetheless, here’s another bit of trivia: This year the full moon — otherwise known as strawberry moon — coincides with the June solstice we are enjoying. Not since 1967 has that happened, apparently, and it will not happen again until 2062. See how special it is to be alive today!
