The cirkusz is coming to town. Smithtown sisters Danielle and Nicole Mogyorosi just launched a new line of vapor juice flavors, named Cirkusz Grrl, that reflect their family background with the circus. Frank Mogyorosi, their father, moved from Hungary to America with the Ringling Brothers Circus in the 1950s. Nicole Mogyorosi has friends in the vapor industry, and they invited the sisters to come and test different flavors in their lab. “That’s when the light bulb went off,” Danielle Mogyorosi said. “We realized we should make a line to pay homage to our background.” Nicole, born in 1981, and Danielle, born in 1983, travelled the United States with their family in the circus until they were 7 years old. The family then moved to Smithtown. “We grew up around candy apples and carnie cones,” Nicole Mogyorosi said. “I used to eat funnel cakes for breakfast, so we went into this idea with flavors in mind. We wanted to perfect them into exactly what we remembered.”

Danielle and nicole mogyorosi are using their Smithtown roots to bring their new business into the mainstream.

The sisters said for customers it’s very popular because it’s a throwback, and brings people back to that time of being a kid and enjoying the circus. Currently Cirkusz Grrl has five flavors: carousel cotton candy, jumbo popcorn, big top candy apple, sideshow dough and carnie cone cherry ice. Both sisters now reside in Maryland, where Cirkusz Grrl CIRKUSZ continued on page a7

Town floats minimum wage proposal By phil corSo

A Smithtown councilman is proposing to raise the minimum wage for town employees, but the discussion has been tabled for future consideration. Town Councilman Bob Creighton (R) initially proposed to have a minimum wage resolution be added to the agenda to last Tuesday afternoon’s town board meeting, which would effectively set the minimum wage at $9 per hour as of April 1, 2016. The motion was met with

skepticism, and Councilwoman Lynne Nowick (R) moved to table the proposal for a future date, which the board unanimously approved. Over the last several months Smithtown resolutions for municipal hires showed workers being hired at rates anywhere from as low as $8 and as high as $16 per hour. The town, however, is not legally bound to abide by a minimum wage. Creighton could not be reached for comment. The discussion will be revisited at a later town board session.

When Jean Noschese’s left hand started to go numb, she didn’t expect her doctor’s visit to lead to brain surgery at Huntington Hospital, where she met Dr. Robert Kerr, a neurosurgeon who had a new way of operating on the brain. On Oct. 16, 2013 Noschese experienced a head-on collision while driving in Hauppauge. The car accident left her in need of several surgeries, including ones to repair her rotator cuff and replace her hip. But it was when she started losing sensation in her left hand, in 2014, that she went to a specialist. Noschese, who initially wondered if her issue with her hand was related to her accident, was rushed to the hospital after her hand specialist thought Noschese was experiencing a stroke. But instead of a stroke, the doctors found a three-by-four-centimeter lesion on the right side of her brain that caused paralysis on the left side of her body. Her lesion wasn’t caused by the accident, but from Noschese’s breast cancer that had metastasized to her brain. Noschese was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. Doctors wanted to perform brain surgery the following day, on Dec. 22, 2014, according to Noschese,

North Shore neurosurgeon touts procedure’s success By Giselle Barkley

New tool helps reduce brain surgery risks “It’s overwhelming to hear that you need brain surgery,” she said. But Kerr, who met with Noschese when she entered the hospital, reassured her and reviewed the procedure with her. A new brain-mapping technique, using the Synaptive Medical’s BrightMatter Plan product, involves several new tools, including a highly engineered tube that splits brain tissue fibers and allows neurosurgeons to access difficult and deep parts of the brain easily. The procedure also utilizes a fiber optic, high definition telescope that creates a “cone of visualization” that allows surgeons to clearly view all planes of the brain they are working on. The technique also features a procedure called the myriad, which uses a blunt suction device that peels off tumors from dangerous or sensitive areas without damaging surrounding areas in the brain. “Traditionally, surgeries for deeper regions actually involve destroying a certain amount of tissue to get to the target area,” Kerr said. According to Kerr, in traditional brain surgeries, metal retractors are used to create a pathway so surgeons can access target areas of the brain. Doctors use the retractors to pull the edges of the brain BRAIN continued on page A5

training on his own, and once he was 17, met the standards and began attending the Future Soldiers program. “I’ve lost a few pounds, and am benefiting physically and in my health overall from this program,” Troise said. “It’s a lot of physical fitness and a lot of cardio and core. Every time they want to improve different aspects.” According to Still Too Fat to Fight, during the Iraq war, Congress expanded the number of military recruiters. The Army also experimented with accepting physically fit recruits who had more excess body fat than those previously allowed. The Army discovered that overweight recruits were 47 percent more likely to experience a musculoskeletal injury, such as a sprain or stress fracture. Since then, the Army has stopped accepting overweight recruits. Carmack said that the Future Soldier program is making positive success against this issue. “A structured program is the best way to combat it.” Mission: Readiness, an organization of retired senior military leaders, focuses on 17 to 24 year-olds in the Unites States that can’t serve in the military due to a variety of reasons including poor education, being overweight, and having a criminal history.

apart and create a pathway. Kerr said the issue with this technique is that, regardless of how careful a surgeon is, he or she may still push on these retractors, which widens the pathway the surgeon created from surface of the brain to the target area. As a result, the patient is left with a hole in part of the brain, which means the patient will take longer to recover from the surgery. Stony Brook Medicine Neurosurgeon Dr. David Chesler said Synaptive Medical’s BrightMatter Plan procedure is only appropriate under certain circumstances. “Tumors that come right to the surface, where they’re easily approachable, I don’t think there’s any benefit to using this technique, because the tumor is right there,” Chesler said. Chesler took a course for the procedure about two years ago. While he thinks the technique is beneficial, he does not think it is a be-all and end-all procedure for brain surgery. While the procedure is minimally invasive, may decrease the chance of injuring the patient during the operation and allows surgeons to approach lesions or blood clots, Chesler said there are some downsides to the technique. He said that the technology of this technique is not new, but simply creates a new system that makes it easier for surgeons to implement. Additionally, minimally invasive

procedures double or triple the length of an operation, depending on the surgeon and the nature of the surgery. Surgeons who may not be very experienced may leave parts of lesions or tumors and blood clots behind because of limited visualization. Surgeons can only see what is at the end of the tube, which is around the diameter of a dime. Kerr said this procedure will decrease patients’ recovery time. Patients are usually tired following the surgery and require extensive amounts of rest before they are discharged from the hospital. Noschese, however, was alert and speaking two hours after the surgery. Not only did she regain sensation in her hand, but she was also able to grab and hold onto a variety of objects. Chesler, like Kerr, said patients who receive traditional surgeries for deepseated lesions or blood clots can do well. He said his patients’ deficits were more related to the “structures involved with the tumor,” as opposed to the approach used. Chesler has seen both good and bad outcomes from this technique According to Kerr, few surgeons are using this technique. “Neurosurgeons are skeptics and slow adopters and I think that’s appropriate,” Kerr said, explaining why more surgeons may stick to traditional brain surgery practices. While Chesler said the procedure should be used for the right case and with an experienced surgeon, he said staff are looking to adopt this technique at Stony

Brook University Hospital. Chesler, who does both pediatric and adult neurosurgery, said he is simply looking for the right case. Recently he hasn’t come across a case that calls for the technique. Doctors must demonstrate the procedure and illustrate its benefits when introducing the technique to the hospital. Hospitals need to invest in the procedure for a surgeon to officially implement it. Although Chesler said there are other systems that surgeons can use

to reach a similar goal, Kerr said the technique is a glimpse into the future of this type of surgery. “I think this technology reflects the future of neurosurgery and accessing deep-seated lesions in a kinder, gentler, more precise way,” Kerr said. “I think this is representing a future paradigm shift in the way that brain surgery is done, and I think that we will see many more adopting this in a very short period of time.”

emptions in the town. Ryan said the town is still trying to determine the legislation’s financial effects for each school district that opts in. In a letter sent to the town’s school districts, Ryan stated that districts must pass a resolution on or before March 1 in order for the exemption to affect the December 2014 tax bill. Among the school districts considering opting in are Kings Park and Middle Country — Rocky Point already opted in — after discussing the legislation at recent board of education meetings. Kings Park Superintendent Susan Agruso said if the district grants the exemption, an average homeowner with an assessed value of $6,000 could see a tax increase of about $82. According to the Smithtown Town tax assessor’s office, Agruso said, there are 601 residences with veterans in Kings Park. While both the Kings Park and Middle Country school boards decided to hold future public hearings on the matter, the Rocky Point Board of Education did

not, but voted to opt in at a school board meeting on Jan. 13.

In an email, Kuefner said, “While the district is awaiting final statistics from the Town of Brookhaven, it cannot think of a more worthy group to receive this exemption — an exemption which they are already receiving from other taxing jurisdictions.” Englebright said while he understands that school districts may be hesitant to cut back on much-needed taxes in hard economic times, the law shows a “meaningful appreciation” for veterans’ sacrifices. “It is a worthwhile and worthy initiative,” he said. “Not one that should be dismissed … just because we are in difficult times.” Photo by Victoria Espinoza

Commack Native grad thrives in craft spirit market By Alex Petroski

It takes guts to quit a steady paying job to pursue a dream. Not many people bet on themselves as boldly as Stony Brook University graduate and owner of Prohibition Distillery in Roscoe Brian Facquet did back in 2008. He grew up in Commack, graduated from St. Anthony’s High School in 1991 and spent a few years in the Naval Academy before transferring to Stony Brook for his senior year. There he played lacrosse, majored in history and met his future wife Benat. “I created a brand that’s rooted in history,” Facquet said laughing, during an interview this week, when asked about failing to put his pricey college degree in history to use. He received that degree in 1995. “I did something stupid,” Facquet said. “I quit my job and just started doing this.” “This” was creating an up-andcoming craft spirit brand called Bootlegger 21, which is based out of an old firehouse in Roscoe, about two hours north of New York City. The name, the packaging and even the boxes that the bottles are shipped in are all a nod to the Prohibition era in the United States in the 1920s when the sale or consumption of alcohol was illegal. People who continued to sell alcohol illegally were called bootleggers. The “21” represents the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition. Facquet spent much of the 2000s in the corporate world, working for a couple of different technology companies. Successes in that field earned him an offer to be the East Coast vice president of Paylocity, a company that specializes in cloud-based payroll software, which Facquet was vital in creating. He turned down the offer. “He’s always been entrepreneurial,” Phil Facquet said of his son Brian, who in 2000 went to his dad and asked him for advice about a business opportunity. Brian Facquet said that he was at Bluepoint Brewery in Patchogue. “It was small at the time,” Facquet said. They had a few chairs, a keg and about three tables in an outside sitting area. The modest appearance didn’t scare him and he told his dad that he wanted to invest about $30,000 in the brewery. Both Facquets said that Phil was the greatest deciding factor in Brian’s decision to ultimately reject the opportunity.

“I always regretted not doing it,” Brian Facquet said. His dad admitted that he felt bad about being the voice of negativity back then, so when Brian went to Phil in 2008 and told him his new plan, his father decided to bite his tongue the second time around. “I thought he was crazy,” Phil Facquet said. When Brian Facquet decided to start making booze, it wasn’t going to be a hobby. He had no interest in going the route of the weekend warrior who brews beer in his garage and tried for a while to balance his steady paying job with his dream of, as he put it, “creating something that will be remembered.” He said he would go into the Tuthilltown Distillery, one of the sites of his vodka making exploits before he found a home in Roscoe, while he was on sales calls for his day job, overnight or on days when he was “playing hooky.” Eventually he decided he was going all in on Bootlegger 21. “You’re talking to a guy that’s worked all his life for somebody else,” Phil said about his son’s decision to pursue his dream. “I’m ambitious within a corporate setting, but to risk my own money? I thought he was crazy quite honestly.” His father came around rather easily. He still lives in Commack, though he periodically makes the trip up to Roscoe to lend a hand for a few days whenever he can. Brian Facquet’s ambition and confidence have paid off. Bootlegger 21 now offers gin and bourbon to go along with the vodka. Facquet said that when he started the company he had a hard time convincing anyone about the merits of a craft spirit that was locally produced. “You hope you have a good product, you hope you have a market, but you never know,” he said. The market has changed now. Hand crafted is in. Mass-produced, conglomerate spirits with brand recognition still have their place in the market, but Facquet said that he’s found the millennial consumer is willing to give the little guy a shot. He didn’t necessarily see this coming he said, but he’s thrilled to reap the benefits of a more open-minded marketplace. The fact that this is currently Facquet’s only business venture doesn’t mean he’s suddenly become a slacker. Presumably Catholic high school and the Naval Academy made that impossible. “I don’t know how he does it,” his father said. “He’s burning the candle light at both ends, plus the center.”

An assortment of different Bootlegger drinks line the shelves.

Brian Facquet’s hard work has paid off as well. The corn-based, gluten-free vodka has been awarded gold medals and double gold medals from the Best Domestic Vodka competition, the Beverage Testing Institute, and the New York International Spirits competition. The fivebotanical gin and corn-based bourbon are still very new to the market.

Facquet’s goal was to create something that will be remembered. It will be difficult to remember him after extensive consumption of his product, although his entrepreneurial spirit will last long after the buzz wears off.

Judge denies Stony Brook chimps personhood By PHil Corso

The two chimpanzees housed at Stony Brook University will not be granted the personhood necessary to allow them to challenge their captivity, a state Supreme Court judge ruled in an animal rights advocacy group’s lawsuit against the school. Justice Barbara Jaffe ruled in her July 30 decision that Hercules and Leo, the two male chimps used for research at Stony Brook University’s Department of Anatomical Sciences, would not be granted a “writ of habeas corpus,” as petitioned for in the Nonhuman Rights Project’s suit against the university. The animal rights group had petitioned the judge with hopes of forcing the university to move the chimps to the Florida-based Save the Chimps animal sanctuary. “The similarities between chimpanzees and humans inspire the empathy felt for a beloved pet,” Jaffe said in her decision. “Efforts to extent legal rights to chimpanzees are thus understandable; someday they may even succeed. For now, however, given the precedent to which I am bound it is hereby ordered that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is denied.” Jaffe cited previous suits the Nonhuman Rights Project had headed up, including one referencing a chimpanzee named Tommy who was being held through Circle L Trailers in Gloversville, NY. In that

TBR

case, the Fulton County Supreme Court dismissed the Nonhuman Rights Project’s appeal to have the chimp released. Steven Wise, president of the Nonhuman Rights Project, said his group was still looking forward to appealing Jaffe’s decision to the state Supreme Court’s Appellate Division’s first judicial department. “Unlike Justice Jaffe, [the first judicial department] is not bound by the decision of the Third Department in Tommy’s case,” Wise said in a statement. Despite the judge’s ruling, Susan Larson, an anatomical sciences professor at the university, said both Hercules and Leo will retire from the facility’s research center and be gone by September. Larson did not return requests for comment. The Nonhuman Rights Project, however, still said it would be pursuing the chimps to ensure they are released to a sanctuary nevertheless. “We applaud Stony Brook for finally doing the right thing,” Lauren Choplin of the Nonhuman Rights Project wrote on the group’s website. “We have made it clear that we remain willing to assist Stony Brook in sending Hercules and Leo to Save the Chimps in Ft. Pierce, Florida, where we have arranged for them to be transferred, or to have an appropriate member sanctuary of the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance, as we did in Tommy’s case. We

have made it equally clear that, if Stony Brook attempts to move Hercules and Leo to any other place, we will immediately seek a preliminary injunction to prevent this move pending the outcome of all appeals, as we succeeded in doing in Tommy’s case last year.” New Iberia Research Center in Louisiana owns the chimps, and their next destination was not clear. The court first ordered the school to show cause and writ of habeas corpus — a command to produce the captive person and justify their detention — but

struck out the latter on April 21, one day after releasing the initial order, making it a more administrative move simply prompting the university to defend why it detains the animals. In an earlier press release from 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project said the chimpanzee plaintiffs are “self-aware” and “autonomous” and therefore should have the same rights as humans. The two plaintiffs, Hercules and Leo, are currently being used in a locomotion research experiment in the Department of Anatomical Sciences at Stony Brook University.

PEOPLE Hauppauge Scouts attend camp

Forty-four Boy Scouts, six Venture Crew 2015 members, and 10 adult leaders from Boy Scout Troop 343 embarked on a week-long camping trip to Camp Minsi in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The Boy Scouts, aged 11 to 17 years, earned more than 130 merit badges, hiked through the muck, jumped in a lake at 6 a.m. daily to earn the “frigid froggy” award, won the “clean camp” award, sailed, and shot guns and bows and arrows. They ate well, sang camp songs, and were “just boys hanging with the friends” while experiencing personal growth and earning merit badges and Scouting rank advancements.

According to Scoutmaster Peter Crociata, “The adults had fun too. They smoked chickens and sausage, won the “hungry man” award for the second year in a row, took part in the muck hike, shot, sailed and enjoyed a week in the mountains with the best Scouts on Long Island. This year’s trip had a twist. Our new Venture Crew, made up of the recently graduated high-school seniors and aboutto-be college freshmen from Troop 343, joined us for summer camp and it would be safe to say they enjoyed camp too.” All experienced many great adventures and formed lasting memories.

Kings Park native Paul Fick has helped hundreds get “back in the game.” This past Saturday, Fick had the opportunity to help 22 Major League Soccer soccer players get their game started with the coin flip at Yankee Stadium prior to the match between the New York City Football Club and the Montreal Impact. Before a crowd of more than 27,000, Fick was selected for the honor by Coco Joy in recognition for his work with Back in the Game, an organization he co-founded that helps young cancer patients regain strength, balance, flexibility, and confidence in an effort to return the children to a condition where they can participate in sports and physical activities again. “It’s really not about me at all,” he said. “I just have been the beneficiary of working with these children and getting to watch them progress through their

treatment. It’s about the program; it’s not about one individual. I was the representative, but it was great to see Back in the Game get more awareness so we can help more kids throughout the area.” Fick was also recently nominated as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man of the Year. Gilbert Salon, a volunteer for Back in the Game for the last five years, said the recognition is well-deserved. “He’s been running that program for nearly 10 years,” he said. “His dedication, year after year, all the work he puts in, it’s really amazing.” The program is run through Professional Physical Therapy in Garden City and is funded by the Miracle Foundation. The idea for Back in the Game was started by Rob Panariello, a Professional Physical Therapy founding partner, and his friend Peter Menges. The inspiration for the program began when Menges’ son, Bobby, broke his leg on a relatively mild slope while skiing after doctors deemed

him to be in remission from cancer. It wasn’t until after the fact that they realized that, while his son had responded to the treatment in getting rid of the cancer, his body had not fully recovered. “His body wasn’t ready to go back to physical activities yet,” Fick said. Menges said at the time of his son’s injury, he realized that there needed to be a heightened focus on post-treatment life for children like Bobby. “I think the disconnect was that the physicians were encouraged because the kids were responding favorably to the treatment and wasn’t that great, but what they weren’t seeing was a kid that used to participate in soccer or lacrosse or football, can’t even participate in gym class,” Menges said of his experiences following his son’s cancer treatment. “So yeah, they’re doing fine from a treatment standpoint, but they’re not doing well from a physical participation life standpoint.” Menges said once the concept was organized, Fick was brought in to structure the program into what it is today. “He was a real catalyst for taking the idea, figuring out how to make it work and bringing it to life,” he said. To make the idea of Back in the Game a successful reality, the men presented the idea to Dr. Mark Weinblatt at Winthrop-University Hospital. Weinblatt’s endorsement was crucial to the program getting off the ground.

“Doctor Weinblatt was very supportive in recognizing the need for the program and referring the kids to us,” Fick said. “The trust that he had in Rob and myself enabled us to work with the kids. If we didn’t have that, it would have been very difficult.” Nine years later, Weinblatt said the program is a terrific success. “A lot of our patients, who really had a lot of difficulty in getting back to their usual routine, found it an immense help, not just in sports but in feeling good about themselves in day-to-day activities,” he said. “Walking around, going up stairs; the things we take for granted have been helped a lot by the program. They really do a terrific job with our patients.” Through their work with the Miracle Foundation, the services provided by Back in the Game come at no cost to the families of the children recovering from cancer. Though Fick doesn’t like to take any credit, Menges said the program, like Saturday’s game at Yankee Stadium, couldn’t have occurred without Fick getting things started. “Paul has embraced the concept and program from the beginning, and transformed it from an idea into a highly organized and professional program,” he said. “He is great with the kids and parents, and has continuously worked to grow and improve the program. His dedication and passion is incredible.”

OPINION

Photo from Lisa Hendrickson

Teq CEO Damian Scarfo and President Chris Hickey. Teq is New York’s SMART technology provider for K to 12.

EDITORIAL

Beyond the screens There’s been a lot of hubbub about the 21st century classroom, where interactive whiteboards replace chalk, and pencils and pens are subbed out for iPads and Chromebooks. Even our own governor has incentivized such reforms at our schools. But let’s push pause and ask: Is all this technology helping or hurting? And what benefits are we missing out on in the real world beyond the bright screens? This week, a Huntington Station company, Teq, announced it had partnered with Canadian company SMART Technologies — yes, the creators of the famous SMART Board that is a staple of today’s classrooms — to be the sole distributor of Smart products for grades K to 12 in New York. That’s a big deal and we applaud Teq’s success. The educational tech company, already projecting sales of $50 million this year, anticipates the partnership will boost its revenues 20 percent. That’s not just chump change, and it’s a good deal for Long Island’s economy. Yet how much of our new technologies are really needed for learning and how much are we just advancing for the sake of advancing? It feels like a lot of the new software and hardware is needed only to keep today’s student boredom at bay, as many kids are so used to having tech products in the home that they will not concentrate on paper. A culture of distraction is one of the greatest setbacks of today’s overly technological society. We understand that it benefits our students to be familiar with today’s gadgets, so they will be prepared for tomorrow’s success. But it also benefits children to know what it feels like to hold a real book in their hands, to solve a difficult math problem using a pencil and loose-leaf notebook, to be able to tell time without a digital display, to play outside instead of staring at their phones. Today’s kids are being handed iPads not long after retiring baby bottles. Steve Jobs once told a New York Times reporter that he limited his own children’s tech time at home. Instead of rushing to live in a completely digital world, our educators, parents and political leaders should place importance on carving out some time for a little reality — some quiet time and disconnect to facilitate thinking and creativity.

Leslie Kennedy, far right, with the Scouts after cleaning the stream

Cleaning streams TO THE EDITOR: On a warm Saturday morning, I met with five local Boy Scout troops in Smithtown to clean a tributary stream that leads to the Nissequoge River. The Boy Scouts, who hailed from Troops 3, 539, 888, 214 and 349, worked tirelessly this Saturday in order to accomplish this task as part of a broader effort to bring long-term, meaningful relief to groundwater flooding conditions in the area. The troops met at the corner of Forest Lane and Tanglewood Drive, and they embarked on their cleaning mission from there. The stream, which feeds one of Long Island’s largest lakes, runs between residential properties in Smiththown. The issue arises when the

stream becomes polluted with debris and stops the flow of water. When this occurs, residents experience flooding in their yards and houses, which can lead to property damage. The stream was muddy and covered in heavy brush, but the Scouts were able to clear away the brush with tools loaned from the Department of Public Works, and they were able to clean out anything from the stream that was man-made and ensure that the stream would flow properly. The Scouts had to be environmentally sensitive to the area and not disrupt the integrity of the streambed while still cleaning it of all foreign debris. We did not shy away from getting down in the mud and went along with the troops down the muddy trail of the stream. I was so impressed

with the effort of the Boy Scout troops who came down Saturday morning to clean up the stream. It’s important to learn to care for our environment so that we can enjoy it for years to come. I look forward to working with these Scouts in the future as we continue to clean up the streams in Smithtown. After the expedition in the stream all the Scouts came back covered in mud, but the stream was flowing more steadily than before. And the residents in the surrounding area should be less susceptible to flooding and property damage after the valiant effort of the troops.

Toilet paper, my kingdom for some toilet paper

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

e’ve all “had to go” at one point or another when the timing or location weren’t ideal. Maybe we were defending our dissertation, facing a pitcher in a big game, getting instructions about our first assignment at a new job, or sitting in the window seat of an airplane with two sleeping passengers between us and an aisle already

crowded with people waiting to use the restroom. A friend recently shared a “have to go” story that continues to give a chuckle to my kids, who suddenly tuned in because they sensed a real-life bathroom joke coming. So, there he was, hiking with a group of his buddies. He was on a 6-mile trail when he noticed the familiar, unsettling rumbling in his stomach. Ignore it, he figured, because, as we all know, that always works so well. Well, no, not at all, actually. Less than a mile later, the extreme effort to avoid soiling himself kept him from taking another step along the trail. He asked if anyone had toilet paper. Nope, they assured him, no luck. This was one of the many disadvantages of hiking with a group of men. Once separated from the apparent toilet-paperless pack, my first thought would have been to avoid poison ivy and

bears — or bears covered in poison ivy. However, he didn’t have the luxury of time for those kinds of concerns. As soon as he got his shorts down around his hiking boots, he had an instant explosion. Fortunately, he wasn’t trekking in the winter and there wasn’t loose snow overhead. Disgusted by the stench from the first toxic release, he crab walked his way as far as he could to start round two. And so it went, for five rounds, until he left a connect-thedots, “Hansel and Gretel” trail in the woods. When the contents of his digestive system were finally out, he faced the toilet paper dilemma. He looked at the evergreen pine needles around him. Nature didn’t offer a solution. He considered his underwear. He decided to rip it off and “go commando” the rest of the hike. Despite his best efforts, the underwear wouldn’t rip; it would only

stretch, rendering it useless on two levels. Taking off his shirt would work, but he was surrounded by mosquitoes. The only other option, he realized, was his hat. Fortunately, he said, the hat wasn’t as abrasive and uncomfortable as he imagined. We’ve all been there. OK, well, we haven’t all exactly been on a trail without any toilet paper after our stomachs erupted. But we’ve all been in a situation where we’ve absolutely had to go at the wrong place, wrong time, or both. In “Two Weeks Notice,” Sandra Bullock as Lucy Kelson is stuck on a stopped highway with her boss, millionaire George Wade played by Hugh Grant. Recognizing the urgency, Grant brings Bullock to a nearby camper and agrees to give the owners $1,000 to let her use the bathroom. Until I figured out that I was lactose intolerant, I had numer-

Nature didn’t offer a solution. ous memorable urgent trips to the nearest restroom, including once in the middle of a baseball game and once in Philadelphia after my very first — and last — cheese steak. The only upside to these agonizing moments — and it’s a small consolation — is that they can make for amusing and relatable anecdotes. Oh, and to top off my friend’s hiking story, if you will, when he returned from the woods without his hat, one of his buddies realized his mistake. As it turned out, he did have a handful of tissues.

Going underground after the big storm

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

ood news. We are finally off the generator and back onto the electricity supplied routinely, but not to us these last nine days, by PSEG. Why have we been suffering while others around us have had electricity all this time? The answer has to do with supply and demand. Because there has been so much demand for contractors and carpenters as a result of the recent storm, we have had to wait our turn.

When the huge, stately tree that lived next to our driveway was snapped off at its roots by what the National Weather Service termed as straight-line wind — but not a tornado — it collapsed across our parking lot. The falling tree pulled down the lines and the tube that served as a conduit for the electrical wires on the rear of the building, too. In effect it snapped the tube in two as if it were a matchstick. The electric company was not going to restore the lines that had been mounted outside the building until we were sure of the permanence of the wooden construction of our rear wall. And that required the approval of a contractor. So we were hung up, waiting for help that wasn’t hurrying our way. Yes, we were kept in business by a big generator, powering our computers, Internet and phone lines but decidedly not our air conditioning. That required more energy than our generator could deliver. Perhaps you didn’t notice, those of you reading this, that there were a lot of beastly hot

days during the last nine. We noticed. It was like the historically miserable sweatshop, I imagine. We kept going but it wasn’t pretty. We would still be waiting but for a happy alternative. Yes, it required the approval of others, but that was fairly quickly forthcoming. We decided to trench the distance from the electric lines on the road, across the parking lot and into the basement. By doing so, we were able to avoid refastening the power lines to the back of our building. Now we are no longer in a hurry for a contractor. More satisfying, too, is putting the electric lines underground, something we have been editorializing about for most of our almost-40 years of publishing. We can still lose power in future storms if lines are broken somewhere on the roads leading to our building, but not ever again if the problem is within our property. In order to trench our way from the roadside electric lines to our building, we first had to get approval from PSEG, certifying

It took the better part of a day to do the trenching, lay in the lines, cover them with dirt and blacktop the ditch. PSEG was then summoned, and to their credit they arrived with three trucks that evening and approved of the entire job. We are set now to power on.
