St. Patrick’s Day parade marches on By giSelle Barkley
Several decades after its creation, the Friends of St. Patrick continue a 66-year-old tradition with its annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. Residents sported green clothing, face paint and accessories on
Sunday, March 13, to celebrate the not-for-profit’s Miller Place-Rocky Point parade. Members of the Suffolk County Police Department, local fire departments and elected officials joined the queen and royal court and other groups in the parade. U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer

from the Flying Pig in Miller Place to Broadway in Rocky Point. While the parade celebrated today’s St. Patrick’s Day, it is also a way to unite the community, said Grand Marshal and Friends of St. Patrick President John Barchi. ST. PATRICK’S continued on page A12

“Don’t trust anyone.” That’s what Bernard Macias of AARP advised seniors to do at a press conference held at the Rose Caracappa Senior Center in Mount Sinai regarding phone scams across Suffolk County. “It’s happening more and more than you think,” he said. “Clearly, for AARP, we’re here to protect people 50 and over, but we’re finding that our members’ children
and grandchildren are being faced with this. Don’t trust anyone, really, because they’re constantly changing those scams.” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said that in 2015, the total cost of financial fraud against seniors across the country was $36.5 billion. Although anyone can be a victim of scam, con artists particularly prey on seniors, he said. “That is an extraordinary sum that is being stolen from our citizens,” he said. “Tax day is April 15, it is fast approaching and it is a time that scam artists are working hard to get a hold of people’s hard-earned money.” Bellone said that in one instance, a scamming entity posed as the Internal Revenue Service and said that if the person did not provide a certified check or transfer funds to the agency, they would be imprisoned. The caller went so far as to tell the victim that they would remain

Raising thousands of dollars for North Shore-based and national organizations and bringing smiles to those in need of cheer is no small feat. But fifth- through eighth-graders at Mount Sinai Middle School are making a habit of it.

Community dreads dredging plan for the Sound By Giselle Barkley
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency got more than it bargained for at a North Shore library earlier this month when concerned residents showed up to oppose a plan that would allow dumping of dredge spoils into the Long Island Sound for the next 30 years. EPA officials had finalized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ proposed open water dredging plan in January, and set the public hearing at the Port Jefferson Free Library to get input on possible rules and regulations for the plan, which calls for the Army Corps to dump upward of 50 million cubic yards of dredge material from Connecticut waterways into the Sound. The group has practiced this type of dumping for years, but has recently faced opposition from environmental advocates. About 60 community members attended the EPA’s hearing on the Long Island Sound Dredged Material Management Plan. “We’re not offering … specifics in the rulemaking because we’re not going to approve a plan that pollutes the Long Island Sound,” said Adrienne Esposito, executive director for the Citizens Campaign for the Environment. “We’ve been having public hearings for 10 years and all of the public input has been unanimously ignored.” The EPA has said it is open to finding

alternative ways to dispose of the spoils, and invited communities to partner with that agency and with the Army Corps to line up resources to explore those other methods and do the investigation. New York State demanded that the Army Corps reevaluate its disposal process in 2005, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has yet to make a public statement regarding the new dredging proposal. “The Long Island Sound should be protected from adverse activities, rather than have this activity go forward,” Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said.
Englebright, the head of the state Assembly’s Committee on Environmental Conservation, said spoils could instead be used to replenish eroded beaches: “We’re going to need to defend our coastlines and we’re going to need a lot of sediment to do that.” Esposito had similar ideas at a press conference in February. She suggested the spoils could be used for wetlands and beach restoration, and for capping landfills. County Legislator Kara Hahn (DSetauket) was disappointed in the EPA’s support of the plan. “We’ve invested so
much [money] in improving the health of the Sound,” she said. “To have them make a decision that flies in the face of all that investment … is very discouraging.” In a previous interview, Stephen Perkins, a member of the EPA’s dredging team, said the agency tests the material before dumping it into the Sound. Highly toxic spoils are not dumped. But the Setauket Harbor Task Force’s George Hoffman said spoils jeopardize the water’s health. “It’s an estuary of significance, it’s an estuary that’s endangered,” Hahn said.

A late night house fire on Parkside Avenue in Miller Place Thursday night killed a 70-year-old man inside, Suffolk County police said Friday. Authorities said a 911 caller reported the fire at 106 Parkside Ave. around 11:50 p.m. That was when members of the Miller Place Fire Department discovered the man, whose identity was being withheld until authorities could notify his next of kin, and pulled him out of the blaze.
Police said the fire department took the man to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, where he was pronounced dead. Detectives said they did not believe the fire was criminal in nature. Firefighters from other departments, including Rocky Point, Sound Beach, Mount Sinai and Middle Island also responded to the fire to help extinguish the flames, the county police department said.

Senior Scam Continued from page A1
sumer Protection Week and as a result, Bellone said the county is urging citizens to remain informed. He said so far, Suffolk County Consumer Affairs has recovered more than $534,000 through its investigations on behalf of county residents. “These scammers use all kinds of threats and demands to gain access to your accounts, and threaten your identity,” he said. The county executive urged those who felt vulnerable to a scam to file a complaint with the consumer affairs department by calling (631) 853-4600. To avoid an IRS scam, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said that AARP offers free tax filings for senior citizens. Some locations in the town include the senior center and town hall, among local libraries, he said. Maggie Hamm, of Leisure Village, received two suspicious phone calls within three weeks. She said that during the one call she did answer, TD Bank was mentioned. Hamm used to have an account with the organization, which she said piqued her interest in listening to what the caller had to say. The person on the other end of the phone mentioned having or owing money, which she said sounded off. “I asked, ‘is this a scam?’ and boom, he hung up the phone,” she said. “You just know — you get a vibe and a red flag goes off. I think as we get older, you don’t want to make any waves, and I understand seniors become afraid and concerned, because they don’t want any trouble, but you can’t be afraid to step forward and say no.” Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said she too received two messages on her phone that were related to scams. “Help us help you,” is what the caller said at the end of one of the messages. Anker said she tried to call back the number, but the call didn’t go through. “People will actually fall for it,” Anker said. “They’re trying to catch the person on the phone right away, because once they get you in person, the level of scamming has increased.” She asked residents to call the Suffolk County Police Department to report the scam as a crime at (631) 852-COPS. Two years ago, the legislator also created a scam alert website: apps.suffolkcountyny.gov/police/ scamalert.html, which has more information on how to protect yourself against incidents involving scams. Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said that calling (631) 451-TOWN would also provide residents with more information. “If it doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t right,” she said. “You should always follow your instincts and your gut, and the government will never call you when you’ve done something wrong. They’re required to mail you as proof of documentation. Don’t fall prey to the phone call.” Macias, who said AARP serves more than 500,000 members on Long Island, said, in light of tax day, to mail in tax returns as early in the season as possible, not to give out personal information and to shred all personal documents. Three important facts Macias said to understand is that the IRS will never call and demand payment over the phone, the IRS does not ask for credit or debit card information over the phone and the IRS does not threaten to bring local law enforcement to your home. “Scam artists continue to devise new things and new schemes that are becoming more and more difficult to detect, which is why AARP developed the AARP Fraud Watch Network as a way to protect people,” he said. By logging onto www.aarp.org/money and clicking on the Consumer Protection tab, residents can access a link to the company’s Fraud Watch Network. There, anyone can sign up to get AARP’s Watchdog Alerts on scammers’ latest tricks and find out what to do if you’ve been victimized. “You’re not only helping yourself, but helping other who may fall victim to the same scam,” Bellone said. “Don’t feel embarrassed to come forward. Feel empowered to help educate and protect others.”

Back Pain and Sciatica Workshop Reveals How to Naturally Heal Back Pain and Sciatica For Good. Do you suffer with back pain or leg pain when you stand or walk? Do you have pain when you sit for long periods or drive? Do you experience pain, numbness or tingling into your butt, groin or down your leg? Does your back ever “go out” if you move the wrong way? Are you afraid your pain will get worse if you don’t do anything about it? If you have answered YES to any of the above questions (or have a stubborn spouse who is in denial) – the Lower Back and Sciatica Workshop may be a life changing event for you. Hello, Back pain and sciatica can completely ruin your life…I’ve seen it many times. • It can make you lean on the shopping cart when walking through the grocery store (how embarrassing). • It can take your focus away on enjoying your life…like spending time with your children or grandchildren. • It can mess up your work or force you to do a job you don’t want to do. • It can ruin your travel plans. • And it can take away your ability to live life…having to rely on others…or to wait for you to sit down for a minute.

Corgis, border collie take on new job at Heritage Park
Your turn BY Fred drewes
Willy, Lily and Nova are new volunteers at Heritage Park. Willie and Nova, both corgis, and Lily, a border collie, have been recruited to form a “geese patrol.” According to a joint document by NYSDEC and the USDA “the use of trained dogs to chase geese is among the most effective techniques available today” to prevent the annoyance of Canada geese. Janet Smith, Regan and Chris Erhorn and Kerry and Lynn Hogan-Capobianco are the proud owners of these dogs that have volunteered to herd the geese away from the Mount Sinai park. Willy, a Pembroke Welsh corgi, is 10
years old and was abandoned before being rescued by Smith. Nova, a tri-color Pembroke, is 1 year old and was adopted from a breeder in Pennsylvania. Lily is 12 years old and was adopted at the North Shore Animal League. The dogs are friendly, loyal and have strong herding instincts. As part of the geese patrol, the three will be on call. Staff and volunteers of the Heritage Trust will call on the dogs when geese appear so that they can chase the birds from the park to prevent them from dirtying up the area. Commissioner Ed Morris of the Brookhaven Department of Parks and Recreation gave the animals permission to “work” at Heritage Park and said he is thankful for the owners’ volunteer efforts. The parks department has also purchased silhouettes of dogs to display in the park. The combination will discourage the grazing of geese and reduce what the geese leave behind. The population of resident Canada geese has increased and become an annoyance in parks, on golf courses and landscaped areas of condos and co-ops. Lush grass provides gourmet grazing. Unfortunately, these geese eat up to three pounds of grass per day and leave a trail of feces behind. It is estimated that each goose can produce from 1 to 1.5 pounds of droppings per day, according to the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management. The ball fields, paths and play knoll of Heritage Park have been littered with geese droppings, and research

has shown that droppings contain a variety of pathogens capable of infecting humans. Although there is no clear evidence the droppings are transmitting diseases or are a threat to public health, the main concern is the mess left behind. No one relishes walking on a path or playing on a field full of feces. This aesthetic problem is what the geese patrol will try to solve. If the geese are chased enough, they will learn to avoid swooping into the park, leaving visitors able to enjoy the open space and paths
without tip-toeing through goose poop. If you see Willy, Nova or Lily working in the park, the dogs are not there to play or exercise, but thank them for their efforts. Heritage Trust, the park and the town parks department are working together to make “The Wedge” one of the most popular parks in Brookhaven. Fred Drewes is a founding member of Mount Sinai’s Heritage Trust and spends much of his time volunteering to help beautify Heritage Park.

North Shore Drug Awareness Advocates is hosting a free advocacy training class with Families in Support of Treatment, at the Rocky Point VFW Post 6249. The workshop is to help kickstart a new movement that is asking tough questions, pushing for a change and demanding a more comprehensive response to addiction on Long Island. The training will be facilitated by Jeffrey Reynolds and Anthony Rizzuto and will teach residents how to connect with elected officials, testify at public hearings, write articles for local newspapers, speak out at school board meetings, participate in media interviews and engage others in the cause. Other things to learn from the meeting are which lawmakers have say over certain issues, how a bill becomes a law, how to contact key elected officials, how to have a successful legislative meeting, how to share your story effectively, how to use Facebook and Twitter to engage others, and some facts about addiction on Long Island and the overview of the issues. The VFW Post, located at 109 King Road in Rocky Point, will host the

Dressed in red and adorning hats with a “Thing 1 and Thing 2” theme, the two classes shared their favorite Dr. Seuss books and completed associated writing projects. Also, as part of their literacy lesson, they explored the author’s signature style of writing and crafted a noticing chart to outline their findings.

Seawolves head to the big dance BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN
140598
After earning its first trip to the NCAA as a Division I team, it was only fitting for the Stony Brook men’s basketball team to have a proper send-off. Fans young and old came out donning the Seawolves’ red and white, waving pom-poms and throwing up homemade banners and posters to show support for their favorite college basketball team. “It’s great for the school and great for the community and great for exposure,” senior Stony Brook standout Jameel Warney said. “You play to win. You play for admiration from the fans. We love the community and it’s great to be here. We’re coming out to win. We’re going to work out hardest and give it our all.” Warney, just days prior, tallied a career-high 43 points in the Seawolves’ 80-74 victory over The University of Vermont in the America East Championship at the sold-out Island Federal Credit Union Arena. Warney was a remarkable 18-for-22 from the field to go with a 7-for-10 showing from the free-throw line. The Seawolves senior added 10 rebounds and four blocks in his final home game at Stony Brook. Warney’s third-consecutive double-double gave him 59 for his Seawolves career. He tallied 25 of his 43 points in the second half. The 43-point, career-best performance eclipses his 36-point outing against the University of Hartford on Feb. 8. It is also the highest total in the Division I era by any Seawolves player. Senior Carson “Trey” Puriefoy added 23 points to help secure the win. Puriefoy played all 40 minutes and showed how he got his nickname, draining all five of MEN’S BASKETBALL continued on page A15

Towns need to be looking forward

Down with dredge TO ThE EDITOR: (Editor’s note: For more information, see the Feb. 25 issue’s “Officials oppose 30-year dredging plan,” on page A5.) The Town of Brookhaven disagrees with the conclusion of the Army Corps of Engineers that the continued dumping of dredge spoils in the Long Island Sound is an environmentally acceptable practice. We do not believe that environmental safeguards are in place for this proposed dumping. Much of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plan appears to be cut and pasted from the previous long-term dredge plan. We believe this was done in an attempt to have a plan in place prior to the default closing of the Long Island Sound open water dredge disposal site. The town is requesting that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the agency charged with protecting our environment, take a strong stance toward requiring substantial improvements to this dredging plan, prior to allowing any additional open water disposal
At the risk of sounding like a cliché, the future is, in fact, now. And it’s up to our North Shore towns to embrace that fact. huntington Town unveiled a new initiative this week that makes it easier for residents to learn about and sign up for its programs with the click of a mouse, or the touch of a tablet. The spring brochure from the town’s parks and recreation department was released online as an interactive document, which allows residents to watch a video about a summer athletic program, directly ask the program head any questions they may have and then sign up to participate, all with a few clicks. This brochure is available on a desktop, tablet or mobile phone, and is not only keeping residents informed more easily, but also making the town money with new space for local advertisers. Once we heard about this project, it seemed almost hard to believe that this technology wasn’t being utilized across the North Shore in other towns like Brookhaven or Smithtown. This move cuts costs, adds revenue and reduces the town’s environmental footprint by stopping mass production and printing of the paper brochures, huntington officials said. This is a win-win for any town, and one that other towns should start mimicking as soon as possible. A town’s first duty is to serve the people as efficiently as possible. Municipalities should constantly be looking to update their systems and make their communication efforts as progressive as possible. We think North Shore towns should look to huntington in this regard. There is still great room for improvement and the ideas are as close as a neighborhood away.

of dredge spoils in the Long Island Sound. At a minimum, the final Dredge Spoils Disposal Plan should include enforceable goals toward substantial reduction in open water disposal of dredge spoils in the Long Island Sound. If the Sound is ever to be cleaned up, a major reduction in
open water dumping needs to be accomplished. The Long Island Sound should not continue to be a dumping ground for millions of cubic yards of dredge spoils that often contain toxic materials. Ed Romaine, Supervisor Town of Brookhaven

An ode to an odd election do they have what it takes? Can they bring us to glory and not become fakes? What do we need in this election year? Are they really the ones to calm our fear? Hillary and Bernie duke it out, they argue, fight and sometimes they pout.

he insults, the barbs, the teasing galore. The candidates fight every night, but what is it for? These men and this woman want our trust. At this point, many warrant disgust. Who are they who want a job like no other? Do they listen, or do they make us shudder? Are they good, are they smart,
On the right, Cruz, Kasich and formerly Rubio chase the man with the hair. Trump is his name, and they want their share. He’s a bully, a braggart and he’s way ahead. The others sound desperate and they seem to see red. Mitt Romney has come to throw sand in Trump’s face. Mitt’s presence is odd, some say it’s a disgrace. He lost but didn’t go gently into that good night, he’s worried about Trump and wants a fierce fight. We like to believe we are part of a whole, but we have huge differences
down to our souls. Some believe Muslims should all stay away, others suggest we should all have our say. Protesters appear to cause commotion, the sounds and sights are fraught with emotion. The wife of the president long ago, Hillary is under fire for making dough. A university fight nips at his heels, Trump says, “It’s OK, the school is real.” The debates offer jabs and tough one-liners, some of these leaders could be sporting shiners. Tough choices now, the voters have to take sides. With each new vote, there’s nowhere to hide. The country is vast, it’s hard not to offend. We’re different in New York from those in South Bend. Bernie Sanders shares plans that people adore.
He wants the working class to have so much more, but can he do half of what he desires? Or would he wind up putting out vast fires? The people crave change, it’s clear as a bell. The same old approach has no chance to sell. We’re sick and tired of being tired and sick. We the People don’t want something so slick. The rhetoric has grown increasingly coarse, it’s ugly, messy and the leaders sound hoarse. Who will you choose on Election Day? Do you really want anyone to stay? Will the candidates discuss issues that matter? Or will they just make their own pocketbooks fatter? On what do we agree, from sea to sea? What is there that’s common to you and to me?
Can you picture these people when they were kids? Do you think they were proud of all that they did? Were they good to friends, to teachers and foes? Or did they know better than average Joes? When one of them wins and wants to lead us together, will he or she make us stronger and help us get better? They fight with their rivals and say others are wrong, how can any of them help people get along? You have to vote, like it or not, it’s our duty, we’re in a big spot. Tune out the bluster and the attacks, and ask yourself if they have our backs. Who are they who want a job like no other? Do they listen, or do they make us shudder? Are they good, are they smart, do they have what it takes? Can they bring us to glory and not become fakes?
Thought-provoking pajama games for seniors
between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

ere is a terrific idea for those of a certain age. Have a pajama party with close friends at a distant and beautiful location of at least three nights duration. Why three nights? Because it takes that long for normally reserved people to open up and speak freely about life as they have known it. Why pajamas? For
the same reason. After a day filled with enjoyable activities, like sightseeing, shopping and dining, climbing into pajamas and meeting in the living room to chat goes a long way toward facilitating informality and frank exchange. And why have such an experience? Because after a lot of years of living, seniors are expected to have amassed some wisdom with the answers to questions that habitually occur to us. One thing is sure: Probably no two people will have the same answers to all the questions, and hearing the different perspectives is thoughtprovoking and sometimes even comforting. Now let me be clear. I am not suggesting orgies in the basement. I am saying that much has changed over the period of our lives, and those of us who have seen those changes can understand each other and even commiserate. It’s nice to be understood. It’s valuable
to hear how others have dealt with the same opportunities and challenges. What are some of the subjects that might be discussed? Death is certainly one. We all face an end to our lives. How do we regard the inevitable? Are we afraid? Probably not so much. With age comes acceptance to a large degree. Is there an afterlife? A purgatory? Will we again be with our loved ones? In fact, do we believe there is a God? And what is the purpose of life? There are no bounds to the scope of discussions. The subjects just flow from each other. Then there are the endless conversations about children and maybe grandchildren. How have they fared? How much should we help them? What is in store for them? What problems do they have? Have their marriages held together? There are the huge and sometimes incomprehensible

changes in sexual mores and in family values. There are still some who reserve sex for marriage but not many. The word “dating” can have a different connotation than it did when we were much younger. Living together and having children without the benefit of marriage is no longer the object of shame. Yet it may be just difficult for older people to accept, especially if members of the family are involved in such arrangements. The relationship between men and women and hence between husbands and wives has undergone revolutionary change. And the issue of rape has become public, especially rape on campus. There was no such mention by past generations. Health issues are a perennial topic for conversation. Trading remedies, physician and physical therapist names, healthy tips for diets and dieting, exercise and stress reduction are SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ASSOCIATE EDITOR Ellen Recker ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Kathryn Mandracchia
common themes. Discussions of the outcomes from hip and knee surgeries and even dental implants fill the airwaves and can truly offer needed information and help. Music is another area of tremendous change. What one generation danced to, another can find boring. But there is unending admiration by seniors for the younger generation’s mastery of cellphones, laptops and the Internet. Yet there are some older folks who adamantly resist texting. The truth is that we all need support groups and affirmation. We can also benefit from well-placed critiques that can be more easily accepted from contemporaries. And there is always lots of room for laughter, even belly laughs. Pajama parties can provide the context for such engagement. Besides why should only kids have all the fun.
