Four Smithtown Boy Scouts were recently recognized for achieving the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout. Suffolk County Legislator Robert Trotta (R-Fort Salonga), state and town officials attended the Eagle Court of Honor for Kevin Caunter, Matt Garcett, Chris Golden and Matty Kalinsky of Boy Scout Troop 888 of Smithtown. “This is a very proud moment for these young men and their families, as well as their troop leaders and fellow scouts,” Trotta said. “I extend my congratulations to all of them for being outstanding scouts and role models for the younger Scouts and hope that they will remain active in their communities.” The four Scouts did their Eagle Scout projects for several Smithtown-based organizations and the Hauppauge Fire Department. Caunter built a brick-raised flower bed

around the Hauppauge Fire Department’s sign, flagpole, and digital clock. He also refurbished the company’s sign. Garcett replaced the 200-foot, split rail fence at Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve in Commack, which will protect the animals and enhance the grounds of the park. Golden worked with the Suffolk County Parks Department to create the Rassapeague County Park on county-owned property in Nissequogue. He built a parking lot, created a marked trail and cleaned up more than 1,000 pounds of debris. Kalinsky designed and constructed an agility ramp, platform, and a suspended bridge to train the puppies at the Guide Dog Foundation in Smithtown. Once the dogs are ready, they become guide dogs for the blind or wounded veterans. – SARA-MEGAN WALSH

Smithtown’s VetDogs gives former president new best friend BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

EVAN SISLEY

A Smithtown-based nonprofit has given a former United States president a new best friend to help him through his golden years. America’s VetDogs delivered a specially trained service dog to former President George H.W. Bush at his family’s Maine estate June 25. Two staff members were on hand as Sully, a 2-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, met the president for the first time. “Sully is a very compassionate dog, skilled at the tasks of retrieval and opening and closing doors,” said John Miller, president and CEO of America’s VetDogs. “Between his temperament and his skills, we knew he would be the right fit for the president.” America’s VetDogs, a sister 501(c)(3) organization to the Guide Dog Foundation, trains and places guide dogs for veterans and first responders who are blind or have impaired vision or have lost their hearing. The organization also trains service dogs for those who suffer from physical disabilities or have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Bush first learned and made contact with America’s VetDogs to request a service dog through their program at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, according to Miller. He said the organization has three service dogs in the hospital who assist veterans who are currently

Former President George H. W. Bush, former President Bill Clinton and Sully at the Bush’s family compound in Maine inpatients for operations or in recovery. “They work all day long going room-toroom to cheer up veterans to assist them, retrieve items as small as a credit card or cane, and open or close doors,” Miller said. “Most importantly, they bring smiles to all the veterans.” Sully, who was hand selected for Bush, is named after the former airline pilot Chesley

“Sully” Sullenberger III, who became famous after he safely landed a damaged passenger jet on the Hudson River in 2009. The Labrador was raised and trained through the VetDogs prison puppy program, in which inmates raise future service dogs until they are 15 months old. The inmates work with the puppies on housebreaking, obedience, standardized commands and three basic service dog tasks:

retrieve, push and pull. Once America’s VetDogs staff selected a service dog for the president, Miller said they created a video that demonstrated Sully’s skills and took a number of photographs to send to Bush and his staff. Two staff members made the flight to the Bush’s family compound, Walker’s Point in Kennebunkport, Maine, to introduce the president to his new canine companion. “Sully has been getting rave reviews from the president,” Miller said. Bush’s staff members have already set up an Instagram account, @sullyhwbush, to share photos of the dog meeting with the president and exploring his new home. The account had more than 33,000 followers as of the date of this publication. Bush’s staff member could not be reached for comment on Sully. America’s VetDogs has previously trained a service dog for former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Arizona) who was shot while at a campaign stop in 2011, according to Miller, but never before a president. Each dog costs more than $50,000 to breed, raise, train and place, but is provided at no cost by VetDogs to the individual receiver thanks to donations from corporations, foundations and businesses. “Sully will be the highest profile service dog in the history of the country,” Miller said.

Smithtown officials worry state gridlock could delay KP sewers BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

A rendering of the proposed outline of the Kings Park sewer lines.

The Town of Smithtown’s plans for Kings Park’s sewers may be left high and dry after the New York State Legislature’s 2018 session ended in partisan gridlock. At the end of session June 21, there were still several pieces of local legislation left on the floor of the Assembly — including the Town of Smithtown’s home rule request to alienate parkland to be used for Kings Park sewers. Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) said the alienation is needed to build a sewage pump station on 4,000 square feet of property located in front of the Smithtown Department of Parks building at 100 E. Main St., which is zoned as parkland. “The bill is being held hostage — it’s one of 11 bills that the speaker is holding up, and ours is one of them,” State Assemblyman Mike Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) said. “The Assembly speaker is using this bill as a way to gain leverage with the Senate, and [Sen. John Flanagan’s (R–East Northport)] is playing the same game back.” There is contention between the Democrat-led Assembly and the Republican-led state Senate after state Sen. Tom Croci (R–Sayville) was recalled to active duty in the U.S. Navy, leaving the state Senate without a clear-cut majority. This has led to a stalemate in both houses of the Legislature, with these pieces of local legislation being used as bargaining chips, according to Fitzpatrick. Robert Caroppoli, a spokesperson for Flanagan, said that the state Senate lacks blame for the Assembly failing to call for a vote on the alienation bill. The state Senate approved it without a problem. “The senator is more than willing to work with anybody, it’s just a case of getting it done,” Caroppoli said. “We did our part and now it’s time for [the Assembly] to do theirs.” Wehrheim said that if the alienation bill is not passed it could delay any progress on sewers for Kings Park until at least mid-2019. “We can’t do anything further until [the alienation bill] is approved,” the supervisor said. “If they don’t reconvene, generally those alienation bills are done at the end of the session — so ostensibly that could put a delay on that all the way to next June.” The town has been awarded $40 million in funding for its sewers projects by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in the 2018 state budget, of which $20 million was allocated for Kings Park. But the town has yet to receive the money. Wehrheim said he’s concerned a potential delay could result in a loss of funding. “It’s a concern that we have that we want to make sure it remains in the state budget allocated for those projects,” Wehrheim said. “We put all the logistics in place to get the project done, and I have to believe that all of the agencies, including those in the county and state, collectively know how important the project is.” Cuomo’s office has not returned calls for comment on whether the $20 million will remain available into next year. Wehrheim said the town will be drawing up contingency plans should the alienation bill not go through. Fitzpatrick said he did not yet know whether the Legislature will reconvene for a special session in the upcoming weeks, but he added that this sort of standoff has happened in the past. “I’m optimistic that this will be resolved,” the assemblyman said. “The Assembly speaker picked a number of bills that were critically important to these communities, and you pick bills that give you leverage over senators, and that’s the game … It’s happened before, and I believe it will happen again.” The holdup has nothing to do with the actual contents of the bill, according to Fitzpatrick, which he alleged Cuomo showed his support for by setting aside state funding. “The governor has been very much out front in publicizing the $40 million for Kings Park and Smithtown,” he said. “The governor has a stake in this as well, so I’m hopeful and optimistic he will come in to try and negotiate the gridlock.”

1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT More than 350 supporters attended U.S. Congressman Lee Zeldin’s (R-Shirley) campaign kickoff event at the Smithtown Elks Club last week, but full media coverage of the guest speakers may be hard to come by. Two members of the local press were kicked out of Zeldin’s June 28 event after an attendee in their vicinity vocally decried one of his controversial featured speakers, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. “I asked, ‘Why do I have to leave?’ There was no reason given,”said Pat Biancaniello, editor of the site Smithtown Matters and one of the journalists removed from the event. Chris Boyle, communications director for Zeldin’s 2018 campaign for Congress, said that a protester made an outburst that created a disturbance in the middle of the rally, causing the congressman’s security team to react. “[I]n an effort to escort all those involved out of a crowded and loud rally, three people, including the protester, were identified as being involved in the outburst and were escorted out,” Boyle said in a statement. Setauket resident Susan Perretti, the woman identified as having created the disturbance at the event, said she had RSVP’d she would be attending with two friends in hopes of getting an opportunity to directly address her congressman unfiltered, saying town hall-style events tend to only allow for prescreened questions. When two friends were denied entry, she proceeded to head inside. Perretti, a member of the North Country Peace Group advocacy organization, said once inside she had a hard time keeping quiet while hearing comments made by several former advisers to President Donald Trump (R) and what she called “hate” speech from attendees. “Then when Sean Spicer came out, I just started saying, ‘It’s enough — it’s enough,’” she said. When Zeldin’s security team approached her, Perretti said she was asked to leave or she would be arrested. Upon asking why, Perretti said she was informed that she was trespassing before being escorted off the premises peacefully. Biancaniello said she and Dave Ambro, editor of The Smithtown News, were standing in close proximity to Perretti when the commotion began. The editor of The Smithtown News took a photo of Perretti’s outburst, according to those in attendance, before he was the first journalist to be escorted out. Ambro declined to comment on the event. State Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) said he was close enough to see Zeldin’s security team approach both Perretti and the reporters, but he could not hear the conversation over the rally and it was unclear what was unfolding. “There was a list of people who were known troublemakers [the security team] was on the lookout for who were known to be trying to get in,” Fitzpatrick said, “Two were discovered trying to find their way inside to disrupt the event.” However, the assemblyman said the reporters kicked out were not associated with the protester. “I did not witness any problem whatsoever by David or Pat,” he said. “From what I could see, there was no reason for them to be asked to be removed. They were not part of the disruption. When the commotion started, they were obviously paying attention to it as reporters would.” Biancaniello said she was the second journalist to be forced out by Zeldin’s security team. She alleged she identified herself as a member of the press, was openly wearing a media badge provided by Zeldin’s team and that her camera was hit by a guard when she attempted to take a photo. “I think it was people were intentionally singled out,” the Smithtown Matters editor said. Zeldin’s staff said the press failed to appropriately identify themselves to the security team. “When asked to leave, the two other people, later identified as the editor of the longtime anti-Zeldin Smithtown News and a left leaning local blogger, did not display those credentials they were provided almost as if they wanted to get thrown out to write about it afterwards,” Zeldin’s communications director said. “Following the outburst, they did not contact any members of our team until hours after the event ended.” Biancaniello said she had called and emailed Zeldin’s

office immediately following the event without response. After making her story public in a Facebook post at approximately 8:30 p.m., Biancaniello said she was informed several local residents contacted Zeldin’s office and she eventually received an emailed reply asking why she never properly identified herself as being with the press despite alleging she was wearing her press badge. The Smithtown Matters editor said she has grave concerns about the precedent the event may set for media coverage of the upcoming race for the 1st Congressional District. “What does it say when only the people given admission again were the people who you think will cover it positively?” she said. “That’s not where the world needs to be today. We have enough people coming after journalists and the integrity of the media in general.”

ENVIRONMENT Legislature fights to preserve county waters With mounting pressure to preserve the sanctity of Long Island’s coastal waters, Suffolk County is teaming up with specialists at Stony Brook University to educate the public on marine pollution. “Folks on Long Island are more involved with [marine pollution] than other parts of the country because they are spending time around the sound and beaches,” said Katherine Aubrecht, the faculty director for coastal environmental studies at Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. “It’s such a bigger part of people’s lives, and there is a more receptive audience here to be thinking about this.” The county Legislature unanimously passed a resolution June 5 to direct the Division of Planning & Environment in the Department of Economic Development and Planning to collaborate with SoMAS to establish a marine debris pollution awareness program. Though it is just in its preliminary stages, according to Legislator Sarah Anker (DMount Sinai) who sponsored the resolution, the awareness program would be used to educate school-aged children and the general public on the dangers of garbage pollution to the marine ecosystem. “We want the education to be generalized, so that we can have flexibility in who we speak to and about what,” Anker said. Anker said the two goals for the upcoming program are to educate the public on how we are affecting and degrading our oceans, and to teach people what they could do about it,

Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai including the need for beach cleanups and how to properly recycle plastics. Aubrecht said that there are three unpaid interns from the Stony Brook University’s environmental humanities program charged with compiling data on ocean pollution, and looking into what other marine debris education efforts exist on Long Island. Data is also being collected on demographics the program wishes to target with the campaign. Kathleen Fallon, the coastal processes and hazards specialist for New York Sea Grant, said educating young people is of the utmost significance. “It is important to teach young children about the impact they are having on their community and how they can become environmentally conscientious,” she said. “Some examples could include teaching students about the impact they might have, even just picking up a few pieces of trash or about how all pollutants eventually make

their way into marine environments.” Anker said she expects the program to have a full formal presentation ready by the end of next year. She also expects by next Earth Day, the debris awareness program will have presentations to show what citizens can do to help clean up the local marine environment. Microplastics ending up in local waters are among the most pressing issues on Long Island. Microplastics are plastics that have broken down due to erosion into pieces smaller than 5 millimeters — they end up being swallowed by sea life endangering the health of the animal and, if the issue is untreated, those plastics can easily end up on the dinner table, too. At the county Legislature’s April 19 Health Committee meeting Rebecca Grella, a Brentwood High School research scientist and teacher, said she had surveyed Flax Pond Marine Laboratory in Old Field in October 2017 and that in 1 square meter of shoreline,

found 17 grams of microplastics. She said there were approximately 400 pounds of plastic in 1 mile of shoreline in the pond. Aubrecht said that when these plastics enter a marine environment they can also cause organic pollutants — which are often too dispersed and not dangerous — to merge onto these plastics, but have a larger effect on marine wildlife. Ocean debris also cause animal entanglement, like a small fish or turtle getting caught in a plastic ring that holds a six-pack of cans. These entangled creatures often suffer major injuries or die if they can’t free themselves. Though all these problems may seem daunting, Fallon said that education is the starting line in a race that will hopefully end with the elimination of marine pollutants. “A community that is made aware of the impact that they are having on their environment will hopefully be more likely to avoid harmful actions,” Fallon said.

U.S. Coast Guard warns boaters beware of CO BY HERB HERMAN An “insidious killer” can creep up on boaters and homeowners alike without warning, lurking in generator exhausts, on boats, wherever there are products of combustion. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the killer. We’ve been warned a thousand times, but people continue to get sick and die from this odorless gas. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 400 Americans die from CO poisoning every year from engine and non-engine consumer products. More than 20,000 people visit the emergency room, and some 4,000 are hospitalized. Carbon monoxide gas is odorless, which often goes undetected, striking victims caught off guard or in their sleep. When the gas builds up in enclosed spaces, individuals who breathe it can be poisoned. This is particularly true on a boat. Everyone should learn what they can do to protect their family from the dangers of CO: Install and maintain CO alarms inside homes and on boats to provide early warnings of CO; Install CO alarms in a central location outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of homes; Use portable generators outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from all doors,

windows and vents. Low to moderate CO poisoning is characterized by headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea and dizziness. High-level CO poisoning results in mental confusion, loss of muscular coordination, loss of consciousness and eventually death. Symptom severity varies depending on the level of CO and duration of exposure. There are numerous documented cases where swimmers near the exhaust of boats have succumbed to CO poisoning. A particular tragic case occurred when 7-year-old Sophia Baechler, who was seated at the rear of her parents boat while in operation, died of CO poisoning after only a relatively short time. Minnesota is the first state to formally recognize the dangers of CO poisoning by requiring CO detectors and warning stickers on motorboats. The new CO law, Sophia’a Law, is named after her. Be aware that CO can remain in or around boats at dangerous levels even if the engine or other nearby boat engines are no longer running. Be alert to the fatal consequences that have befallen others. This is one more thing to think about while boating. It is recommended to test smoke and CO alarms at least monthly. And it’s not a bad

On June 21, residents at Nesconset Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation kicked off the first day of summer with Nesconset’s 5th annual Classic Car Show. There were approximately 15 cars brought in by the 1950s and ’60s Nostalgia Car Club. Some of the automobiles on display included a 1966 red Thunderbird and a 1976 Thunderbird that was featured in the movie “American Gangster.” Music from the 1950s played throughout the day as residents voted for their favorite cars. The winning car was a 1936 Pontiac.

COUNTY Hahn looking to reduce straw use in Suffolk BY AMANDA PERELLI

AMANDA PERELLI

A Suffolk County legislator asked residents to go strawless this summer, along with local participating restaurants pledging to keep from giving out plastic straws. Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) and members of the Suffolk County Plastic Reduction Task Force, have launched a countywide plan to reduce single-use straws, named Strawless Suffolk. The goal is to have 100 seaside restaurants in Bellport, Greenport, Huntington, Northport, Patchogue and Port Jefferson Village take a pledge to stop using plastic straws by Labor Day, according to Hahn. The initiative’s kickoff announcement was held July 2 at The Purple Elephant in Northport. It is one of 31 restaurants and two schools that have already taken the pledge. The restaurants that pledge will be provided with a blue turtle decal that states “Strawless Summer 2018 Participant.” “If you see the sticker, go back to those restaurants because they are doing the right thing,” Hahn said. To be eligible, restaurants can participate in three ways: Stop using straws completely, provide biodegradable straws made with paper or bamboo upon request or provide reusable ones made of stainless steel or glass. “The task force was created in order to reduce the single-use plastics,” said Kaitlin Willig, Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and vice chair of Suffolk County Plastic Reduction Task Force. “I think we are trying to go about it

Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn, right, calls on restaurants and residents to reduce straw use this summer at a press conference July 2 at The Purple Elephant in Northport. in a way that educates people, so they make the choice themselves. We can get rid of that throw away culture that we have and move toward reusing, rather than just trying to recycle. We are trying to go through education and make smarter choices.” Hahn said she’s been participating in beach cleanups for a long time and is always struck with how many straws she comes across. “We’d go to a restaurant and it would make me so angry when they just put [a straw] in your drink without even saying anything,” Hahn said. “I mean it’s really just a waste. I can’t even say no at this point because it’s too

late. If they put it down and it’s wrapped, I’ll just give it back.” Hahn added that leaving the unused wrapped straw on the table is not enough. She worked in a restaurant and said it is common an unopened straw would be thrown out anyway. She directed those interested in getting involved to take their own pledge with the Skip the Straw campaign, a similar initiative tailored to get individuals involved by Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting ocean health. “I think individuals should think about trying to do it,” Hahn said. “You know first

and foremost you can be responsible for what you do as an individual and then you can also tell the restaurants you frequent. You can tell them they don’t need to, and they’ll save money if they don’t automatically give out straws. If they make it by request, they can save a lot and then if they do choose to provide some upon request, make it paper.” Nearly 90 percent of all marine debris is made of plastic, including plastic straws. Every day Americans discard half a billion plastic straws, many of which find their way into oceans and inland waterways, according to the press release.

In conjunction with its Wellness Day, Tackan Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District held an assembly by SK8 4 Life June 14. Two professional skateboarders showed off their skating skills while teaching the students lessons in nutrition, exercise, positive thinking and overcoming obstacles. Teaching mind, body and spirit connections, the interactive character trait presentation helped give students the tools to inspire others, while also empowering them to be the best version of themselves.

Making feathered friends Fifth-grade students in the Epic Club at St. James Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District made bird feeders

this spring. The feeders were donated to two local nursing and rehabilitation facilities to hang in their gardens.

In recognition of World Environment Day June 5, fourth-graders in Melissa Taylor’s class at Mills Pond Elementary School in the Smithtown school district presented their proposals to ban plastic straws in their cafeteria.

Students performed skits on how plastics affect the environment, ocean, and how sea life can be harmed by ingesting plastics. After presenting statistics in a Google slideshow, the group spoke about how each individual choice

to skip the straw could make a big impact on the environment. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) stopped by the school to share the work she is doing in the county to help reduce plastics in the environment.

OPINION Editorial

Kennedy seat a chance for compromise Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died Feb. 13, 2016. With the presidential election 269 days away, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and his caucus set a new precedent, refusing to hold confirmation hearings or a vote on then-President Barack Obama’s (D) nominee Merrick Garland because they believed the American people were mere months away from truly having a chance to weigh in on the decision. This week Justice Anthony Kennedy, viewed by many as the centerright fulcrum of an otherwise politically balanced bench, announced he would retire. As a result, President Donald Trump (R), with two- to six-and-a-half more years left in the White House, will get his second bite at the Supreme Court apple, having already appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch last year. If we are to set aside the hypocrisy of Senate Republicans pledging to plow forward with the nomination and confirmation process before the midterms, just 124 days from now, we don’t think it’s too much to ask for them to consider a few things as they begin the process. First, can our current political climate handle the nomination and appointment of a partisan justice bent on say, being the deciding vote in overturning Roe v. Wade? Yes, it would score political points with the president’s Republican base and enflame liberals even more than they already are, which seems to be one of the few pillars guiding the right. Do Republicans in Congress truly believe they don’t have a role to play in restoring some shred of compromise and unity in our politics? Would nominating a hard-line pro-life justice this close to what was already likely to be possibly as heated a campaign season our country has ever seen (outside of 2016, of course) really do anything to advance our country’s discourse to a better place than we’re in now? Further, beyond Roe v. Wade, are Republicans comfortable with the current discourse regarding the free press and the First Amendment? Will Trump be vetting his nominee about their stance on critical issues pertaining to his own legal situation, which includes probes into his personal attorney’s alleged pay-for-play White House access business structure and a special counsel investigation into Trump’s alleged campaign ties to the Russian government and its meddling in our election? Everyone involved is innocent until proven guilty, but if the president intends to impose a litmus test on his nominee for a question like, “Can the president of the United States legally pardon himself?” that should be a red flag to anyone who claims to believe in the rule of law. We don’t feel it’s too much to ask for Republicans to consider a nominee that could serve as a unifier in as desperate a time as any for a little compromise, even assuming they’ve made up their mind on tearing up the McConnell Rule before the proverbial ink from 2016 is even dry. Both sides like to stake claims to a mythical moral high ground. Republicans, as they cheerlead things like tearing up the Affordable Care Act and labeling the free press as the enemy of the American people, could do more to stake an actual claim to that high ground than they have since Trump burst onto the scene with a nominee in the form of an olive branch.

Public transportation is a wise investment

July, 2018 marks the 54th anniversary of federal government support for public transportation. The success of public transportation can be traced back to one of the greatest accomplishments of President Lyndon Johnson (D) which continues benefiting many Americans today. On July 9, 1964, he signed the Urban Mass Transportation Act into law. Subsequently, this has resulted in the investment over time of several hundred billion dollars into public transportation. Millions of Americans today on a daily basis utilize various public transportation alternatives. They include local and express bus, ferry, jitney, light rail, subway and commuter rail services. All of these systems use less fuel and move far more people than conventional single occupancy vehicles. Most of these systems are funded with your tax dollars thanks to Johnson. Depending upon where you live, consider the public transportation alternative. Try riding a local or express bus, commuter van, ferry, light rail, commuter rail or subway.

Fortunately, we have the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its various operating agencies, including NYC Transit subway and bus, Long Island Rail Road, MetroNorth Railroad, Staten Island Rapid Transit Operating Authority and MTA Bus, Suffolk County Transit and our own local Town of Huntington Area Rapid Transit, with Long Beach Bus. There is also New Jersey Transit, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (known as PATH), Nassau Inter County Express (NICE) bus and NYC Department of Transportation Staten Island Ferry. Using MTA MetroCards provides free transfers between the subway and bus. This has eliminated the old two-fare zones making public transportation an even better bargain. Purchasing a monthly LIRR or MTA subway/bus pass reduces the cost per ride and provides virtually unlimited trips. Elected officials and government employees can turn in their taxpayers funded vehicles and join the rest of us by using public transportation to get around town. In many cases, employers can

offer transit checks which help subsidize a portion of the costs. Utilize this and reap the benefits. It supports a cleaner environment. Many employers now allow employees to telecommute and work from home. Others use alternativework schedules which afford staff the ability to avoid rush-hour gridlock. This saves travel time and can improve mileage per gallon. Join a car or van pool to share the costs of commuting. The ability to travel from home to workplace, school, shopping, entertainment, medical, library, etc., is a factor when moving to a new neighborhood. Economically successful communities are not 100 percent dependent on automobiles as the sole means of mobility. Seniors, students, low- and middleincome people need these transportation alternatives. Investment in public transportation today contributes to economic growth, employment and a stronger economy. Dollar for dollar, it is one of the best investments we can make.

Liberalism is stripping away freedom Moral laws no longer required. Standards need not apply, numbing the freedom of conscience. Absolutes are now antiquated. A square peg is adaptable to a round hole. False. This has become the gospel of mass liberals. As cancer denies viability in life so does the perversion of liberalism. Truth is cure in stopping this despotic

direction. It is a destroyer of freedom that has denied viable freedom to many nations. Liberalism is a growing society that gradually devours its people in false freedom. A domination that shall in time control all freedom of enterprise and change the structure of social society from the concepts that created The Greatest Generation. Be aware,

America, that we are slowly being denied our freedom daily referred to as subjected control. Freedom is not free. It is earned. Example: the efforts of our Founding Fathers. God bless America.

Bravo TBR for an enchanting night On June 12, I was fortunate enough to attend a wonderful event hosted by TBR News Media, the first annual Cooks, Books, & Corks fundraiser. Bravo, bravo ... what an enchanting evening. The proceeds raised went to underwrite a summer internship for an inspiring journalist from Stony Brook University’s School

of Journalism. The sponsorship by Michael Ardolino, The Bates House and Simple Party Designs was top notch. The many local restaurants, authors and vineyard combined to make a truly unique and wonderful experience. It was great to see so many of our neighbors supporting this event.

I look forward with much anticipation to what will be an annual event and will recommend it to everyone. Truly a job well done by everyone involved. Thank you, TBR News Media, for hosting the festivities.

OPINION

Strangers in a strange land

ant to know why biscuits in North Carolina are so much better than they are in the rest of the world? I did, which was why I interrupted a woman who was loading her groceries at a Harris Teeter supermarket and chatting with the cashier. One word: love. “Well, it’s love and a lot of butter,” she said. “You can’t be afraid of the butter.” She suggested that biscuits were invented in North Carolina and that everyone’s grandmother has a recipe for them. By Daniel Dunaief They all taste somewhat different, but they’re all so much better than everywhere else.

D. None of the above

That was just one of the many stories we’ve overheard ever since we picked up our two high-school-aged kids, threw our unwitting and desperately frustrated cats into their carriers, and relocated to the Tar Heel State. Putting the cats in the carriers is always challenging, but it was as if they recognized that the trip would be especially difficult for them. The older one, who is cautious and only likes members of our family, stuck his paws out as we tried to lower him into the case. It reminded me of all the times our children used to arch their backs as we tried to put them in the car seat. Reasoning with the cats didn’t work, but eventually we won the battle. We arrived here during a heat wave in the Northeast. As it turns out, our first few days have been a few degrees cooler than what we left behind. Our son observed on the way to the airport that we used to make this drive when we were leaving home, but we were

now taking the drive toward a plane that would take us to our new home. Our interactions with people here have been remarkable. For starters, it really is challenging to find someone who is originally from Charlotte. We have met people from Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. The Northeasterners have universally described how much they enjoy living here. Some of their own complaints are the lack of bagels and authentic Chinese food. People, wherever they are from when they’re here, have been noticeably courteous, even before they read our Yankees shirts, our Brooklyn Cyclones hats and the names of Northeastern schools on our attire. I was pulling out of a store with an enormous rental car. The drivers from two lanes in front of me stopped to let me go. The North Carolinians are also more than ready to share their stories. Randal, the driver who delivered our

cars, gave us advice about where to go for mechanical and auto-body needs. He also shared a few harrowing anecdotes from his days driving a truck and responding to various emergency calls. On my trip to the grocery store, where I met the woman who was so proud of her biscuits, I also noticed how people violate the typical New York peripheral vision rule. You know how when you’re in the city and you’re walking down the street, you’re supposed to notice people without staring at them or looking them directly in the eye? The opposite was true among the people I saw in the supermarket. They not only look you in the eye, but they greet you with a “hello” and “how are you doing?” While I will never be able to test the North Carolina biscuit theory because of my lactose intolerance, I would have to say that, so far, our first impressions of our new state have been remarkably positive.

Are we being told a recession is coming?

uly is truly upon us, and that means half the year is gone. Those who deal with numbers are busily tallying up all sorts of statistics for the first two quarters. Business people with large and small companies alike are checking to see how the numbers compare with last year, and what they can do to improve the depressed bottom line — or maintain the improved bottom line for the next six months. And for those of us in the stock market with pension plans or investments, there will be half-year statements coming to let us know how we stand. By Leah S. Dunaief As we are taking stock of our stocks, there is this interesting bit of news to consider. According to a recent article by Matt Phillips in The New York Times, we are getting an important signal from the bond

market. Now there are all sorts of predictors about which way stocks will move, from who wins ballgames to the length of hemlines, and they are often as wrong as the Farmers’ Almanac about the coming winter weather. But there is one telltale that is surprisingly accurate: the bond-yield curve. And that yield curve is “flashing yellow.” Here is what the yield curve means. The yield curve is the difference between interest rates on short-term government bonds like those maturing in two years compared with those maturing further out, like 10 years. Remember that a bond is a promissory note to repay a debt that the government has incurred, along with interest on the debt, for a set period of time. So, if the government borrows $10,000 from you and pays it back in two years, you will also get interest on that sum in return for lending the government the money. Normally the longer you agree to lend the money, the higher the interest rate you get in return for taking additional risk concerning the health of the economy. A healthy economy usually encourages inflation, which is countered by higher

interest rates — hence an increased long-term rate, including the built-in risk compensation. Lately, long-term interest rates on government bonds have been slow to rise, predicting a less healthy economy on the horizon. The short-term interest rates on government notes, as these instruments are called, have been rising, however, because inflation seems to have started. So the difference between the interest rates, short-term and long-term — the yield curve — has been decreasing or “flattening.” The difference between the two-year and 10-year interest rates is now about 0.34 percentage points, and the last time it was so little was just before the 2008 recession. Does that mean a recession is coming? If the trend continues, and the long-term interest rate dips below the short-term rate, this is called an “inversion.” An inversion is, according to the way John Williams — the new president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — told it earlier this year, “a powerful signal of recessions.” The Times article indicated that every recession in the last 60 years has been preceded by an inverted yield curve,

EDITOR Sara-Megan Walsh LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Kathryn Mandracchia

when short-term interest is higher than that for the longer term. Only once was there a false positive, in the mid-1960s, when there was only a slowdown in the economy. That is why economists and those on Wall Street are watching the yield curve so closely these days. This concern does seem to fly in the face of the present economic conditions. Unemployment is at a low, consumers seem to be happily spending and corporations are reinvesting in their companies. However accurate the yield-curve predictor may be, it cannot precisely tell us when a recession will occur. In the past, the falloff of the economy could happen in six months or two years after the inversion. There is always another side to every story. Because central banks own massive amounts of government bonds, which they bought not so long ago to try and stimulate the economy by providing liquidity, that may be keeping long-term rates low. And the Federal Reserve has been tightening monetary policy lately to keep inflation in check, hence higher short-term rates. So, who knows?
