With six cases of coronavirus Covid-19 in New York state confirmed as at March 4, state, local institutions are preparing for the potential spread of the virus. New York lawmakers earlier this week passed a $40 million spending bill. The funds will allow the Department of Health to hire staff, purchase equipment and gather additional resources to address a virus for which a travel ban no longer seems sufficient to ensure containment. A 50-year old Westchester man tested positive for the virus, even though he didn’t travel to areas of contamination, which include China, South Korea and Italy, and didn’t have known contact with anyone who has traveled to those areas. Through the so-called community spread of the virus, which has a mortality rate of more than 3 percent, can infect a wider range of people. Northwell Health Labs said earlier this week it expects to begin testing for Covid-19 within a week. The health facility, which announced the future testing at a news conference March 2 with U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), said manual testing could involve 75 to 100 tests each day. After it automates the tests, the facility could process hundreds and even thousands of tests on a daily basis. Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson is part of Northwell Health group. Meanwhile, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Stony Brook University have made recommendations to staff who might travel to areas of infection. BNL is following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and the State Department regarding health notices and travel advisories. The U.S. State Department has a donot-travel restriction on trips to China and Iran, along with specific areas of Italy and South Korea, while it also recommends reconsidering travel to Italy, South Korea and Mongolia. Also, BNL is asking visiting scientists if they

traveled to China or live with someone who visited China within 14 days. If the answer to either question is “yes,” these individuals have to complete a 14-day period away from China without symptoms before returning to the lab. BNL canceled the International Forum on Detectors for Photon Science conference, which was scheduled for March 29 through April 1 at Danfords Hotel in Port Jefferson. The conference was expected to have 40 participants. CSHL has told participants from these same countries that they may not attend any upcoming meetings or courses unless they provide certification that they have left those countries 15 days prior to the event. The lab has provided access to conferences through video streaming. The Cold Spring Harbor-based lab is also canceling all upcoming events that bring visitors to its campus until April 5. Also, CSHL is cleaning common areas including bathrooms, counters and dining areas more frequently, is providing more hand sanitation stations, is enhancing the readiness of its Center for Health & Wellness and is providing secure transfer protocols for at-risk people with potential symptoms of the virus. SBU discouraged school-related and personal travel to China, Italy, Iran and South Korea. The school also created a mandatory preapproval requirement for all publicly funded university-sponsored travel plans to China, Italy, Iran and South Korea. SBU has not canceled the Florence University of the Arts program, since the university is continuing classes as usual and the Tuscany region doesn’t have any reported cases of the virus. On a national level, the Federal Reserve, in a move similar to decisions from other central banks, cut interest rates by half a percentage point, the biggest cut since the financial crisis of 2008. The cut was designed to stave off an economic slowdown caused by business disruptions from the coronavirus. “The coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity,” the Federal Reserve said in a statement.

Shoreham-Wading River

SWR GSA Builds Bridges for LGBT Community in Suffolk BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM One may think the LGBT community in Suffolk County is a small minority, until there are more than 100 of them and their allies together in a room celebrating what makes them, them. On Jan. 28, after close to half a year of planning, the Shoreham-Wading River High School Gay-Straight Alliance club hosted a Gender-Sexuality Alliance Leadership Conference, the first in all of Suffolk County. They were joined by over 100 students from 14 different schools as well as a score of adults, including teachers, parents and school administrators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only did it bring together a group of kids that were not only like-minded, but were also there to support each other,â&#x20AC;? said club co-advisor Brittany Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really felt like there was a sense of community that was just beautiful, that we did something that changed everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outlook on this and really changed the whole dynamic of the comfortability in the school.â&#x20AC;? Senior and club member Ray Colon said it was an event unlike any he has experienced at the school setting. Students who felt they were marginalized or pushed to the boundaries in their own schools could talk freely.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was awesome to hear them share their own stories and their own struggles back at home,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At school, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that space to be free always â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it allows them to open up.â&#x20AC;? Between the discussions and presentations, Davis said students flooded into the upstairs balcony in the library for an impromptu dance party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might be that quiet kid in class, but when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with others they can finally feel comfortable,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really cool to see them be themselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their energy went throughout the room and made everyone smile.â&#x20AC;? High school senior Emily Mulcahy, the club president, said while they were initially unsure how successful an event it would be, upon reaching out and getting a score of immediate responses, their doubts were eased. In fact, they had so many responses they could simply not fit all into the small space of the library. Nearly five months of planning led to an event that included discussions about themselves and their place in the LGBT community, but also the recognition of administrators, including high school Principal Frank Pugliese and Superintendent Gerard Poole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our building and district, we celebrate

such open support, he said, means a lot considering where the LGBT community has come from, especially in schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many kids were saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many people were in support,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said.

The principal added he hopes this event will become â&#x20AC;&#x153;a normal part of the calendar.â&#x20AC;? Fellow club co-advisor Ed Storck has been at the head of getting the whole event started.

Mount Sinai

Two Mount Sinai HS Students Selected as National Merit Scholar Finalists For the first time in its history, Mount Sinai High School earned the distinction of having two National Merit Scholarship Program finalists in its ranks. Seniors Kayla McFadden and Aaron Angress were named finalists earlier last month. “When we first found out it was definitely a big moment for us,” McFadden said. “We were pretty taken aback that we made it so far and that there are two of us.” Angress added that it was a great honor to be selected. The process of becoming a finalist began when they took the Preliminary SAT. “This wasn’t really on our radar until our junior year, when our teachers started to tell us that your PSAT [score] can get you this scholarship,” McFadden said. In September 2019, the duo were named semifinalists in the competition for scoring in the top 1 percent of all juniors completing the PSAT in October 2018. In addition to test scores and maintaining grades, the students had to send in an application which included writing an essay, school activi-

ties they’ve been involved in and awards they won, among other things. Angress plays saxophone and went to AllStates for the first time. He is the class secretary and is a member of the oceanography team that will be going to nationals later this year. McFadden has been a member of the cross-country and winter and spring track teams since her freshman year, and she plays violin in the school’s orchestra and has been dancing since she was three years old. The seniors will now compete for a number of scholarships which will be offered and announced later this month. They can be awarded three types of scholarships: a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship, Corporate-Sponsored Merit Scholarships and College-Sponsored Merit Scholarships. Angress said he would like to pursue mechanical or aerospace engineering when he goes to college next fall. “I’m still waiting to hear back on nine [admission] decisions to come over the next month, but of the schools I’ve been accepted to, I’d probably want to go to Northeastern,” he said. McFadden said she wants to study biology and pursue either premedicine or something in genetics.

“I’m waiting to hear back on four decisions still, but of the ones I’ve been accepted to and deciding between is Quinnipiac [University], Binghamton University and Stony Brook University,” she said. Peter Pramataris, Mount Sinai High School principal, couldn’t have been more proud of the duo. “I’ve been in education for 24 years, but in my opinion, you can’t find two better quality character kids,” he said. “They are really well rounded, and it is a testament to their families — it really makes me proud to call them Mount Sinai High School students.” The two students gave their advice to fellow peers who might want to compete for the prestigious scholarship. “Stay true to who you are, stick to what you have been doing and you will definitely find some opportunities,” McFadden said. Angress said it is important to take the process seriously and he would advise students to start preparing ahead of time. Pramataris said he is excited to see what the future holds for the two students. “We can’t wait to hear about their future accomplishments, because I know they are going to have a ton of them,” he said.

and bridge infrastructure,” he said. “And this approach is bringing us ever-increasing costs.” In a panel following the presentation, experts and officials discussed potential solutions and ideas to what was called a “looming crisis.” “The amount of waste generated on Long Island is increasing,” White said. “With the current volume at the Brookhaven landfill, that means 720,000 tons a year of waste has to find a home somewhere, and another 350,000 tons of ash from the energy from waste facilities will have to find a home somewhere.” Will Flower, the vice president of regional trash carting company Winters Bros., said BY DAVID LUCES statistics show each person produces about 4 1/2 DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM pounds of waste a day.

Town

Volunteers Help Repair Heirlooms and Family Relics

Farber said such practices are just another example why these repair cafes have blossomed all across the world. Another, and it is especially important for Long Island, is to stop much of the products from ending up in the trash. “I think it’s a shame, we already have a garbage problem, and just buying things is not always the answer,” she said. Gabriele Guerra, a real estate agent from Dix Hills, traveled all the way to the Comsewogue library for the chance to fix a lamp she found at the side of the road, a marble statue of a Spanish conquistador. In 2024, the Town of Brookhaven plans to close and cap its landfill. Once that happens, nobody is sure what will happen. Though Guerra said there is one sure thing, that people will need to think about throwing less things away. “Everybody’s throwing things out — instead fix them, recycle, reuse, don’t dump it on the street.”

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Last Saturday, Feb. 29, at the Comsewogue Public Library, people from all over Long Island clutched broken antiques, busted electronics, ripped clothing and many, many battered lamps in their laps. Surrounding them were tables where fixers, experts and simple tinkerers plugging away at all things broken, trying their best to make them whole again. Richard Feldman, a retired teacher, was one of the volunteers, called “coaches,” helping people fix their items. He’s a tinkerer, the kind of guy who could make you a homemade hammer from stained and lacquered paint stirrers and a head made from junk he found on the side of the road. Feldman was helping Centereach woman Blanche Casey open up a small antique safe. It had been closed after too many young hands of her grandchildren had fiddled with it. Casey had taken such an item to other repair shops, but none knew what to do with it. Instead at the Repair Cafe, Feldman fiddled with the safe until it finally revealed its hoard of pennies that spilled out onto the table. Casey thanked Feldman several times, but the tinkerer said sometimes such repairs require a little divine intervention. “Sometimes, with things like this, it’s just luck,” he said. “It’s just pure fun, and I enjoy it. It’s why I’m here.” This is not the first time Repair Cafe Long Island has come to Comsewogue. For the past several years a small group of volunteer enthusiasts have helped save broken items from dumpsters and the landfill. Laurie Farber, of Wyandanch, has run the LI chapter of Repair Cafe since 2007, originally hosting her first at the Our Lady of Miraculous Medal Church in Wyandanch. Under Starflower Experiences Inc., a nonprofit, she has since hosted more all across Long Island, east and west, the North Shore and South Shore, and everything in between. This year she has more cafes planned than the past several years. She has events coming up in both March and April, including one at the Elwood Public Library April 20. The first repair cafe was started by a Dutch environmentalist in the Netherlands in 2009. The nonprofit Repair Cafe International Foundation now has 16,000 chapters across 35 countries. Farber started her branch even before there was one in New York City. “The items that come in are usually of sentimental value,” she said. “People go home with something that may have been sitting in the closet for 20 years and it may have been a simple thing to fix.” Though many of the volunteers see such repair as a hobby, several had quite the resume. Neal Fergenson is a chief electrical engineer for a military contractor. His wife saw an ad

asking for people to volunteer their time, and now he’s been at it for two years. Just one of his projects that day was helping a woman fix her stereo system. The device had worked fine for over 30 years until this year, when the tuning knob simply stopped working. That Saturday Fergenson was busy jury-rigging a way to get the knob to connect to a post on the motherboard. “We’re a throw-away society,” he said. “It gives people a chance to recycle things.” Paul Orfin is an engineer at Brookhaven National Laboratory who works in the collider accelerator department, but that Saturday he was more known as the “lamp whiz.” The engineer had originally heard of the event through his local library in Patchogue. At last year’s event, he had even put his engineering skills through their practice when he helped the library fix its 3-D printer it had on display. “You can fix anything, as long as you know what’s wrong,” Orfin said. Not everything can be fixed. Sometimes the items are damaged beyond repair, or, as is common these days, the necessary parts are simply unavailable. A movement has been growing all across the county, called the right to repair. Car manufacturers have largely worked under a memorandum, based on a 2012 Massachusetts law providing all owners with documents and information to allow people to do their own repairs, but such ideas have not made their way into the tech sector. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, passed by Congress in 1998,

electronics manufacturers have largely hindered or otherwise completely forbid people from tinkering with their devices. Some states have passed right to repair laws, but the New York Legislature failed to pass one in 2015. Such anti-consumer practices have even found their way to farm equipment, with farm utilities manufacturer John Deere using a heavy hand to stop farmers from modifying or even ﬁxing their equipment without taking it to a dealer.

Continued from A3 Moriches High School and the president of the Smithtown board of education, down to the school to speak to the club. Thode has been advocating for and educating about LGBTQ for little less than a year now. His son, Noah, came out as transgendered last January, and Thode has taken his experiences with his family’s path toward transition and acceptance and used it to advocate and educate both districts and parents. “This event clearly told us that these kids, when with people who understand them, they are authentically themselves,” Thode said. The club is planning future events for this year, including a visit this month to the LGBT Network of Long Island, a nonproﬁt support network that connects services on Long Island and Queens, where club students speak about the importance of allies

in the community and how they wish to be treated by them. Later this year the club is planning a positivity week, which the club started three years ago. That week ends with a day of remembrance, where any participating student remains silent throughout the day to honor the people who have lost their lives due to discrimination in the past. On June 5, the district is also hosting the third annual Unity Dance for the other GSA clubs in Suffolk. But club members also understand they have started something that may become a “legacy,” as Mulcahy put it. With Thode at the helm, the Smithtown school district is planning a similar event May 5. With more space in Smithtown High School West, they are able to ﬁt the districts that were unable to come to the original event due to space. “Ultimately, what needs to happen is more awareness, education and acceptance, not only in GSA’s, but in the wider community.” Thode said.

2nd Swooping and Hooping Charity Game Draws Large Crowd

BY RICH ACRITELLI DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM On Feb. 28, at Rocky Point High School, administrators, teachers, coaches, support staff and even district groundskeepers participated in the 2nd annual Swooping and Hooping basketball game. It was a night ﬁlled with cheers, laughs and comradery to raise money for the school’s Kids in Need Fund and VFW Post 6249 program to aid our local Wounded Warriors. Since the early fall, the game and fundraiser were led by the creative efforts of math teachers Jenessa Eilers and Carly Tribby. Through their efforts, the school raised $3,400 this year. At the start of this year, the two younger educators took control of the Be a Nicer Neighbor Club after social studies teacher Brooke Bonomi retired last year. From looking at their ability to handle this lively night, a new torch has certainly been passed and accepted by Eilers and Tribby to continue making the school a “better place.” While the activity was ﬂawlessly guided, these two educators put in countless hours in planning the fundraiser. They were present to guide the student-based process of organizing teams, general managers, coaches and entertainment for the night. Like that of Bonomi, it was the goal of Eilers and Tribby to give the students the responsibility in establishing the roots of success that will allow Swooping and Hooping to be a strong tradition for the high school. Several weeks before this game, students organized a draft to pick the players for the night. With an assortment of background music, every participant was chosen by the leadership of groups named Hoops We Did It Again, Strawberry Thunder, the Dunkin Dino’s and the Flipping Mandalorians. Up until the game, the students were expected to organize their rosters, make trades and sign free agents. For several mornings of the past week, Eilers and Tribby were surrounded by their club members to sell early tickets and team shirts which were worn by staff and alumni. Every part of the school district was represented within these four teams, from Principal Jonathan Hart and Athletic Director Charlie Delargey to the girls basketball coach Reagan Lynch and the athletic groundskeeper Aaron Lipsky. Armed with big smiles, the players arrived early, where they practiced shooting, stretched and organized some lay-up drills. Bonomi, a familiar face, wore a huge smile over the positive actions of Eilers and Tribby to build

on a the event that he help create. After a rousing national anthem performed by senior Molly Lambert and the presentation of the colors by Post 6249, its commander, Joe Cognitore, started the game with the tip-off. First-year assistant principal Lauren Neckin started the evening off on a high point by hitting a 3-pointer. Right away, the students chanted for their fan favorites and intently watched the staff members who drove to the net and dove for loose balls. As longtime guidance counselor Tammy McPherson was bringing the ball up the court, she heard the warm gestures of her family including her baby granddaughter that came out to see her play. This energy was repeated with math teacher Jason Rand hitting a jump shot in the last seconds of the ﬁrst half. With over 400 tickets sold, the smiles were easy to detect among both fans and players.

Local and state officials, along with citizen advocates voiced a collective message to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and New York City during a press conference at Ronkonkoma train station on March 2: “Stop shortchanging Long Island.” The group called on the MTA to abandon its plan for a systemwide 4 percent fare increase in 2021 for Long Island Rail Road customers, including those in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The decision was a part of the NYC Outer Borough Rail Discount plan which offers an up to 20 percent discount for city riders. “Long Island is not the cash cow for New York City,” said Ed Romaine (R), Brookhaven Town supervisor. “This is unconscionable, this is a handout to the city at the expense of Long Island.” Romaine said a typical Ronkonkoma LIRR commuter who purchases a monthly parking pass, monthly train ticket and unlimited ride Metrocard would have to pay $7,224 annually. “The MTA has not made the capital investments it should on Long island — what about our riders?” Romaine said. The supervisor added that Long Island has already been shortchanged regarding electrification, as there is no electrification east of Huntington and none past the Ronkonkoma station. The discounts were mandated by the state Legislature as a condition of its approval of congestion pricing legislation, which would create new tolls for drivers in Manhattan to help fund the authority’s $51.5 billion capital program. The plan will go into effect in May of this year. Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) also took issue with the MTA’s decision. “We had the congestion pricing vote, which I voted against it,” he said. “This is completely counterintuitive to the folks using the trains. Congestion pricing was meant to get individuals to start using public transportation and not use their vehicles.” He added that the MTA has billions of dollars of subsidies from the state and federal government. “This is a New York City problem — we

should not bear the brunt of it,” he said. “Mayor [Bill] de Blasio [D] should pay for this — they are overwhelmingly serviced [by the MTA].” The MTA board is made up of 21 stakeholders appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), including people recommended by unions and municipalities such as the city and surrounding counties. Kevin Law represents Suffolk County, and was nominated by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D). The other Long Island representative, David Mack, represents Nassau. Despite their differences, officials continued to agree with the planned change at a Feb. 26 board meeting, saying they expect the up to 20 percent discount to entice Queens and Brooklyn commuters to use the LIRR if they live far from a subway line. MTA officials say this is a pilot program up to one year’s duration. However, on Long Island, other local officials voiced their displeasures. Ed Smyth (R), Huntington Town councilman, said commuters will essentially be paying for their ticket and for somebody in NYC. “Everything is being pushed out to Long Island in terms of expenses and it won’t be long until you’re expected to buy them a coffee and a bagel as well,” he said. Kevin LaValle (R-Selden), Brookhaven Town councilman, said the MTA plan would negatively affect the progress they’ve made to bring transit-oriented development to the area. “On a town level, this is something we’ve been working on for years,” he said. “The Tritec [Ronkonkoma Hub] development is an example of that. It will make it easier for Long islanders to get into the city. With these fee increases it will make it harder for them to afford to live here and ride here.” Palumbo added he will be writing a letter to Cuomo in the coming days and will ask Long Island representatives from both political parties to sign it. The assemblyman is hopeful the plan can be changed before the NYS budget deadline next month. “Hopefully he can see it, and this can be fixed on April 1 — I’m just hoping that it doesn’t fall on deaf ears,” he said.

Mount Sinai

Wedge Turns 20 Heritage Park’s Two-Decade Anniversary Shows It Has Come a Long Way BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Twenty years ago, what started as farmland in Mount Sinai was turned over to developers. What was a field of soil turned to weeds, and what could

have become a Home Depot and a loss of public space for a hamlet turned into a movement that swept up the whole of the 6.4 square mile hamlet. As the Bristal Assisted Living has recently finished construction and finally opened its doors, the park is a stark reminder of what could have been had local residents, politicians and advocates not stepped up to the plate and demanded the Wedge be preserved. With the help of the nonprofit Heritage Trust and longtime park volunteer Fred Drewes, TBR News Media has in its hands a trove of documented pictures that tells the story the sliver of land once called the Wedge. What follows is a timeline in pictures of where Heritage Park has come from and where it could be going. For a full history of the park and the nonprofit that acts as its steward, visit tbrnewsmedia.com and search Heritage Trust.

SWR Educators Receive Language Arts Grant

Two English teachers from Shoreham-Wading River High School have been selected to receive a grant from the Long Island Language Arts Council. The annual $500 grant offered by the organization helps support the efforts of educators to provide superior literacy instruction to all students. Jennifer Nazer and Sara Trenn wrote a proposal to support their efforts in building an independent library and creating a comfortable space for students to enjoy reading. The grant will allow them to purchase contemporary and popular young adult literary titles that students have been requesting, as well as seat-

FACULTY BASKETBALL Continued from A8

Again, there was a musical halftime show performed by guidance counselor Michael Conlon and his Sound Choice club. They brought the fans to their feet through their electric playing of Queens “We Will Rock You” and White Stripes “Seven Nation Army.” To keep the people entertained, students and faculty tossed shirts into the stands, along with shooting contests, and many basket raffles. For the second time, Cognitore was the grand marshal for the game and he marveled over the wonderful job that Eilers and Tribby did to bring the staff and students together. The second game demonstrated the athletic prowess of Strawberry Thunder and the Dunkin Dino’s. While it was expected that the Dino’s would have a difficult game, this team hit their shots and kept the game close. Through the leadership of Delargey and guidance counselors Jimmy Jordan and Matt Poole, the Dino’s advanced to the finals where the crowd was at the edge of their seats. Science teacher Mark Brienza energized the fans through his superb shooting and the chants

ing options including a folding ottoman, adjustable floor chair and meditation cushions. The two educators have already created a classroom library with dozens of books from bookstores, yard sales, thrift stores and library sales and with the grant funds are anticipating students will branch outside of their reading comfort zones in terms of genre and will have a better understanding and appreciation of the value of independent reading. “Our goal is to involve students in the process,” Trenn said, “giving them an opportunity to vote on the books we purchase, so that we can ensure that the books will be read.” from the student body who said he should earn the most valuable player award for this evening. Opposing him was the point scoring strength of physical education teacher Kelly Calamita and Joseph A. Edgar special education teacher Lauren Boyle. Again, the fans were into this game from the championship tip off to the final moments which saw Hoops We Did It Again named the 2020 victor. After the final moments of this game, the fans rushed the court and showed their appreciation for a wonderful night. It was a chance for the players to dust a little rust from their basketball skills and raise much needed funds through the kindness of the Be a Nicer Neighbor Club. Looking at the energy of this night, high school principal Hart said these, “ladies went above and beyond to ensure this year’s event was as successful as last year’s.” Through the efforts of Eilers and Tribby, they certainly have made strides to fill the major shoes left behind after Bonomi retired last year. Through his mentorship, these two young educators have proven themselves to be up to the task in organizing and running major programs that have turned into traditions for the district.

Mount Sinai’s Campo Wins D2 State Wrestling Tournament

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The wrestling season came to an end this past weekend at the Times Union Center in Albany with North Shore wrestlers making way at the 2020 Championship. A sellout crowd was in attendance for the two-day, three-session event featuring the best wrestlers throughout New York state. All of the Division II County Champions plus a few wildcards competed. North Shore wrestlers from John Glenn, Mount Sinai, Shoreham-Wading River and Mattituck participated. Mount Sinai’s Matt Campo, the No. 2 seed, wrestled Mickey Squires of Norwich, the No. 1 seed, in a rematch of their Windsor Christmas tournament where Squires won 6-4. The finals was the seventh time Campo and Squires faced off, with Squires wining four and Campo winning two. The match started with Squires scoring one point in the first period with an escape and took the lead 1-0. Campo responded in

the second period with a takedown, scoring two points and a 2-1 lead. Squires responded with a third-period escape, scoring one point. This tied the score at 2-2 and sent the match to overtime. Both wrestlers knew the other’s style and adjusted accordingly. The crowd was in a frenzy during the overtime, knowing the first one to score would win the championship. In a dramatic finish, Campo scored two points on a takedown and won the match 4-2, becoming the New York State Champion at 170 pounds. Campo also recorded his 200th career win during the tournament. Campo credited the win to the strategy set up by his father, Mike Campo, coach Matt Armstrong and assistants Kurt Wagner, Eric Strobeck, Ralph Menchino, Jim Walker and two outstanding wrestling training partners, Joe Goodrich and Adam Shrata. Also placing in the tournament were Brayden Fahrbach and Mike O’Brien of Mount Sinai, who finished third. Craig Jablonski, of Shoreham-Wading River, placed fifth, while Joe Goodrich, of Mount Sinai placed sixth.

PAGE A22 • THE VILLAGE BEACON RECORD • MARCH 05, 2020

Editorial Letters to the Editor The Trash Imperative Long Island Must Oppose Planned LIRR Fare Hike It’s now become obvious that Long Island has a garbage problem. It’s an issue that’s not going away. The Town of Brookhaven is set to close its landfill in 2024, and after many municipalities altered their recycling programs when China’s decision to ban the import of most plastics and other materials used by its recycling processors in 2018, our communities can’t avoid the problem anymore. The Brookhaven landfill alone handles about 350,000 tons of ash annually from energy-from-waste facilities, in addition to handling 720,000 tons of solid waste. A representative from a local carting company at a recent Long Island Regional Planning Council meeting said that one person can produce 4 1/2 pounds of garbage a day and that 2,000 trucks daily transport waste off the Island. While waste is transported off Long Island to upstate New York, opting for more trucking leads to more traffic and exhaust fumes exacerbating already poor air quality, plus damage to the roads. Transporting more garbage by rail can be a better option. In our easily disposal world, overflowing garbage pails wind up going to landfills that are near capacity. It’s important for residents not only to ask their legislators to think outside of the box to come up with a solution but also to look inside their homes and be mindful when discarding rubbish. We’re not talking about anything radical, like fitting all of your trash from a year in a jar, but many products are thrown out when they can be fixed. While it may not make a huge dent in the number of stuff thrown out yearly, repair cafés, like the one recently hosted at Comsewogue Public Library, are an option instead of just buying something new. If one of these events can’t be found in an area, YouTube is filled with videos on how to repair various items. A simple Google search really can do wonders. New York State’s ban on plastic bags is a good step, but there needs to be a new way of looking at buying items, possible forgoing one-use items like plastic water bottles for refillable, reusable on-the-go drinkware and being vigilant about separating garbage. Requesting towns to revert to better recycling programs, where glass is part of the process, is also a must. Long Island is just that, an island, and the problem is that we have no real way to take our garbage and simply take it somewhere else. Shipping our trash off the Island will only mean more traffic and broken roads. Indeed, we on Long Island have to look at other places that are more like us in geography for solutions. In Japan, residents and visitors to the country are expected to separate their waste into combustible, incombustible, oversized garbage and then glass bottles and cans. The precise separation of waste leads to more post-consumer use recycled items, and the country is an example of how it can be done. In nearby South Korea, which has only half a peninsula for itself, has little room for additional dumps or landfills. In restaurants or even food courts, people are expected to use metal utensils and cups which are cleaned and reused. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) recently introduced legislation to amend the state Environmental Conservation Law to establish a New York State goal where no less than 85 percent of solid waste to be reduced, reused, recycled or composted by 2030. That is an ambitious goal, but even looking to reach those heights could do us a wealth of good. Municipalities, waste management services and our local residents should get on board.

We are writing to express our concern with the recently ratified NYC MTA Outer Borough Discount plan. As elected representatives of residents who reside on the eastern end of Long Island, we cannot support a plan that discounts fares for those closer to New York City, while increasing fares for many of our constituents here in Suffolk County who commute daily, as well as those who travel by rail to New York City for pleasure. Both support the economy of the New York City while living on Long Island. As the entity responsible for mass transportation in New York State and as the largest regional transportation system in the

country, the MTA is aware that transportation pricing and other major MTA decisions have a large-scale regional effect. Tasked with providing public transportation for all of New York State, the MTA must ensure that major decisions, including those about pricing, are fair and equitable. Transportation is one of the top expenses for Long Islanders, right after housing costs. While we understand that this plan may benefit certain individuals, it cannot be to the inequitable financial burden of Long Islanders. This is a nonpartisan issue facing all Long Island LIRR commuters who have been saddled with this 4 percent fare increase. Therefore, our state senators,

assembly members, county legislators, town and local elected officials must stand together to demand that the MTA abandon their plan for a systemwide 4 percent fare increase and find a more equitable method of discounting pricing for transport to New York City that does not place an undue economic burden on Long Island. We strongly push the MTA to reconsider this plan today. Valerie Cartright Brookhaven Councilwoman (D) Kara Hahn Suffolk County Legislator (D) Margot Garant Village of Port Jefferson Mayor

Prediction: President Donald Trump (R) will blame the Democrats for the coronavirus health crisis and its impact on the economy. He will call them “Do nothing Democrats.” He will label the media that doesn’t back him (or just sticks to accurate journalism) “fake news.” He will claim that we are “winning.” He and his cronies will shout that those who oppose him are “politicizing” the story. Have I gotten it right so far? Oh … one more thing, Fox News will be his mouthpiece. Fact of the matter is, at a time when the federal government needs true science more than ever before, Trump has at the

very least a credibility crisis. This is the president who tried to ban the CDC from using certain words including: vulnerable, diversity, entitlement, transgender, fetus, evidence-based and science-based. This is a man who has called climate change the greatest hoax of all time. And most relevant to the current situation, Trump has supported the notion that childhood vaccines cause autism. He changed his mind on the latter when he saw the political fallout and not because of scientific analysis. He has consistently scorned the scientific community, but now he needs them. Trump’s definition of truth is based on

only one thing — how it makes him look, facts and thoughtful analysis be damned. Having lived this nightmare for more then three years, now that we have a real health crisis that requires real science to resolve, Trump has a credibility problem and so long as Trump remains president, humanity has a problem too. I would like to be able to say Trump will step up to the plate and do what is right for all Americans. We’re all susceptible to coronavirus, but with Trump’s history, how can anyone have confidence?

The 2018 elections gave Democrats full control over New York State’s three branches of government. Dem candidates, especially those running for Senate as “moderates,” promised to resist the hard left influence of New York City pols. On April 1, 2019, that caucus ignored dire, bipartisan warnings from Republicans, law enforcement personnel and district attorneys, ramming through legislation radically reducing by roughly 400, the number of offenses requiring bail. Democratic Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. confirmed some of his colleagues worst fears, by citing 301 inmates released, including 41 connected with brand-name gangs. “We’re not talking about the first time offender.” Toulon doesn’t want people with a record of assault or robbery returning to their community so easily, saying, “That’s not fearmongering. That’s just pure common sense.” His concerns have proven to be well founded. Less than two weeks after Jordan

Randolph, already convicted of two felony DWIs, was charged with tampering with an ignition lock designed to keep him from driving drunk, he killed 27-year-old Jonathan Flores-Maldonado. Randolph, charged with drunk driving, was freed the next day. Under the new law, seconddegree vehicular manslaughter doesn’t require posting a bond. On Jan. 29, six suspected drug dealers, accused of running a $7 million Bronx fentanyl distribution operation, were released without bail. Authorities described hundreds of thousands of envelopes packed with the powder in the apartment. Assistant District Attorney Michael Di Paolo said, “None of the defendants are eligible for bail.” Somehow, this crew flooding New York and New England with $7 million of deadly poison, qualified as nonviolent felony defendants. The new law mandated they be let go. Perhaps the most clear-headed assessment of no-cash bail reform came from two

unrepentant criminals, Gerod Woodberry and Charles Barry. Released after [allegedly] robbing his fifth bank, Woodberry reportedly opined, “I can’t believe they let me out. What were they thinking?” Barry, sporting a history of 139 arrests — six this year — was even more candid. “It’s the Democrats! The Democrats know me and the Republicans fear me. You can’t touch me! I can’t be stopped!” You’d hope that kind of humiliation, along with the miscarriages of justice cited above, would drive local Democrats to keep their promises and break from radical New York City pols on this increasingly problematic law. As was the case last April 1, and despite efforts to misdirect voters toward some mythical GOP boogeyman, overwhelming Dem legislative majorities give them, if and when they choose, complete power to make statutory changes. It should be done ASAP. Jim Soviero East Setauket

A Birthday to Remember in the Big Easy

just celebrated an incredible birthday, thanks to the thoughtfulness of friends and family who took the time to talk with me and shop for greatly appreciated gifts. Each year, these birthdays have the potential to be challenging, especially given that mine often comes some time around school midterms. Even though I’m no longer watching the calendar to see how many days I have left before I D. None have to take a big of the above test, I still ride that BY DANIEL DUNAIEF roller coaster vicariously with my children. This year, however, enormous and difﬁcult tests didn’t hang over us, like the academic sword of Damocles.

For starters, before my birthday celebration kicked in, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law sent me AirPods. I knew I was supposed to open the gift on my birthday, but I’m not exactly the most patient person when it comes to opening presents. Gee, I wonder where my kids get that trait? Anyway, the reaction from my son was almost as enjoyable as the present itself. When he saw me wearing them, he said, “How did you get those?” as if the question were an accusation. “My friends all have them.” My daughter did a test run with me, chatting with me on FaceTime while she stared at my ears instead of at my uneven sideburns or the hairy bridge connecting my eyebrows. It’s increasingly rare these days for anything I do, say or wear to be considered “up to date,” so this wonderful gift hit the mark. I’m enjoying using the AirPods at the gym, where I don’t have to worry about the wire bouncing around when I’m running or after I’ve exercised, when I’m panting as I

lean over the water fountain. The best part, though, is that they allow me to talk with someone while I’m walking my dog and picking up his droppings. I don’t have to worry about the wire coming lose when he suddenly pulls hard on the leash to chase a rabbit or to run away from the sudden noise a desiccated leaf makes when it blows in the wind behind us. Yes, despite his 90-pound body, he ﬁnds the unexpected noise from leaves threatening. While I insisted to my wife that she didn’t need to buy anything for me, she purchased several items of clothing, like shorts and shirts that fit, look good and are incredibly comfortable. She also got this terrific jacket that repels the white dog hair that has rendered the rest of my outerwear ridiculous when interacting with members of the general public. This birthday we ventured to the Big Easy, where the ubiquitous music still resonates. We took a paddleboat ride and heard about

the Mississippi River and the site of the Battle of New Orleans. The oak trees lining the bank are about 250 to 300 years old, which means that the same trees stood in the same spot during the battle. My teenage son, who isn’t always the picture of patience with his demanding dad, played with me and allowed me to hug him in public during the weekend. That was better than any gift he could have purchased. My daughter, meanwhile, celebrated vicariously from college. A few of her friends wandered into the screen and wished me the best. Finally, I connected by phone with college roommates, nephews, brothers and my mom, who was a critical part of that day so many years ago. Birthdays have, at times, made me feel older and displaced. This one, with the meaningful conversations, the laughter with my wife and children and the chats with friends and relatives, as well as the “cool” gifts, made me feel so young.

Early Voting Equality for All Women and Men, Regardless of Race

n this year of celebrating a century since women were granted the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment, I will tell you a true tale from the dustbin of history. Women voted for three decades after the American Revolution. They voted from 1776-1807 alongside men in, of all places, New Jersey. How do I know? Jennifer Between Schuessler tells you and me me so in the Feb. 24 edition of The BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF New York Times. The women

were only stopped from voting after “rampant fraud and corruption.” For example it seems that some men put on dresses to vote multiple times. New Jersey passed a law then, limiting voting in 1807 to white men. Was it an early expression of gender equality or a legal loophole that enabled women — and African Americans — to vote at the dawn of our country? Or was that a myth? The Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia located new-found poll lists that show women voted in “signiﬁcant numbers” before they were denied. In August of this year the museum will open an exhibit called ironically, “When Women Lost the Vote,” featuring those documents. This is a great triumph for the museum and the tale. While other states limited the vote to “freemen” or male inhabitants, New Jersey gave the right to vote to all “inhabitants” as

long as “they” could show they had property worth 50 pounds. That ruled out most married women, whose property or income went to their husbands when they married. However, the law enfranchised many women, regardless of race, in New Jersey — or so the early story went. But where was the proof? Then, an 1801 poll list from Montgomery Township, found in the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton, was the ﬁrst real modern-day evidence of numerous women voters. The state archives had acquired the lists in 2016 “from the descendants of a long-ago county clerk.” Now there are 18 poll lists from four New Jersey townships from 1797-1807 that have been found. Nine of them include 163 unique women’s names. The women had cast about 7.7 percent of total votes. On some lists, it was as much as 14 percent. An interesting corollary is that the wom-

en’s names almost always appear in bunches, suggesting that women came to the polls in groups. Maybe that had something to do with the polls often being located in taverns “awash with drunkenness and guns,” according to The Times. Philip Mead, chief historian at the Museum of the American Revolution, explained that there was difﬁculty in determining who met the property requirements, which contributed to the end of gender and race equality in New Jersey. Still, Mead sees a positive message in this research for the museum’s exhibit: “In early New Jersey, we have women voting and African Americans voting. This is a story both about what we might have been, and about who we’ve become.” It is a ﬁtting tale to mark the end of Black History Month and the beginning of Women’s History Month.
