Brookhaven piles on funding for marina repairs Icy waters damage pilings and docks at marinas By Erika karp

The town’s frozen harbors and waterways may have been a dazzling site for Brookhaven residents, but the iced-over waters are proving costly. Brookhaven officials amended the 2015 capital budget last week to add a new project for replacing docks and pilings at the town’s 15 marinas. For the first time in many years, bodies of water like the Great South Bay and Mount Sinai Harbor froze over for extended periods of time and caused the pilings — the wooden posts that support and line the docks — to become lifted out of place. North Shore ports, including Mount Sinai, Port Jefferson and Stony Brook, experienced some damage, according to Brookhaven Parks Commissioner Ed Morris, but for the most part were spared. “The extent of it on the North Shore was minimal,” Morris said in a Monday phone interview, adding that the same couldn’t be said for the South Shore. Marinas and docks at Sandspit, Forge River and Fire Island’s Davis Park were hit hard — more than 200 pilings need to be reset and/or replaced at Davis Park alone, Morris said.

While the capital budget amendment allocated $700,000 for the repairs, Morris said the North Shore projects will cost about $64,000 and the South Shore projects will amount to $260,000. Leftover funds could be used for other related work throughout the year. A few days before the amendment’s approval, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said the damage could pose a delay in opening the marinas by as much as two weeks. Morris remained hopeful that while there could be some delays, the majority of marinas would be open the first weekend of May, as per usual. “I would hope the boaters would be a little patient,” he said. In separate interviews, Morris and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) agreed that the impact of frozen waterways was much greater this winter. Bonner said the town budgets for piling and dock repairs and replacements every year but, as Morris pointed out, the frozen waters persisted for an extended period of time — something he had never seen before during his 17 years working for Brookhaven. Bonner said she couldn’t recall the last time Mount Sinai Harbor froze over but said a lot of oldtimers remember it.

Mount Sinai Harbor was frozen over for an extended period of time this year, causing damage to some pilings and docks.

According to Morris, Chesterfield Associates Inc., of Westhampton Beach, will cover the North Shore projects, while Stout Construction Inc., of Pa-

tchogue, will lead the South Shore jobs. The contractors have 30 days from the start date, which should commence soon, to complete the repairs.

By Elana Glowatz

Following public outcry against a plan to eliminate wild mute swan populations over the next decade, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has released a new draft of its plan that focuses on “nonlethal” methods to control the birds. Thousands of people, including environmentalists and animal rights advocates, had sent in comments last year on the previous draft of the plan, whose stated long-term goal was “to eliminate free-ranging mute swans from New York State by 2025.” Many took issue with the DEC’s plans to euthanize the adult birds and questioned the validity of the department’s research on mute swans’ impact on the environment. In addition, state legislators approved a two-year moratorium on any plan to euthanize the swans and required the DEC to “give priority to nonlethal management techniques.” The first draft of the plan also called for using some swans for zoological purposes and transferring others to people licensed to hold them in captivity. According to the DEC, mute swans, which have orange beaks and make less noise than other types of swans, can contribute to high fecal coliform bacteria counts on bodies of water used for drinking or swimming. They can also attack humans, which can make them “a serious nuisance and render some land or water areas inaccessible for outdoor recreation during the nesting season.” There are about 2,200 free-ranging mute swans in New York, the DEC has estimated, and they can be found on Long Island, in New York City and in the lower Hudson Valley and Lake Ontario regions. The population has jumped from where it was in the 1970s, when mute swans numbered fewer than 700. New York has other species of swan, but mute swans are considered invasive and non-native — they were brought here in the late 1800s and used for ornamental purposes — and thus were targeted for management. The DEC’s goal, as stated in the plan’s most recent draft, is to reduce

the mute swan population to its 1980 numbers: fewer than 800 birds. The DEC has been operating under the same species management plan since 1993, and the new mute swan plan would replace the older one. In preparation for the plan, the DEC conducted research between 2004 and 2008 “to document abundance, survival, reproduction, movements, ecological impacts and management of mute swans in New York.” Following public backlash of the first draft, the department this month released its new draft of the management plan, which focuses on alternatives to euthanization, and a document responding to public comments it received. “Because many people object to the use of lethal control methods, especially killing adult birds, DEC will use ‘nonlethal’ methods … where practical and timely, to achieve the management objectives,” the new plan stated. Those methods could include terminating embryos in the swans’ eggs or placing the birds in licensed facilities. “However, this will require some commitment of funding and assistance from organizations and individuals who wish to see nonlethal options used to the extent possible. Placement and proper care of swans in public parks or other controlled settings can be costly to local governments or communities.” Despite the emphasis on nonlethal methods, the DEC said in its response to public comments, officials would still resort to lethal methods “wherever immediate removal of birds is necessary to alleviate a site-specific conflict … and live-capture is not practical or no facility is readily available to accept the birds.” The new DEC plan’s agenda for minimizing the impacts of mute swans on other wildlife and habitats includes increasing public support and awareness; preventing new swans from entering wild populations “through intentional releases, escapes or natural reproduction”; and controlling the number of mute swans on downstate tidal waters.

Pothole–haven

I Wear Hearing Aids and I’m Proud of It!

Brookhaven extends workday in order to repair damaged roadways By BarBara Donlon

The Brookhaven Town Highway Department is recouping from the cold and moving on to a new task: filling those pesky potholes. “This proved to be an exceptional winter,” Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro said in a Monday interview. “This year was worse than last year in terms of icing.” The winter also proved to be costly. Losquadro estimated the department spent double the $3.6 million budgeted amount for snow removal, despite town officials injecting the budget line with an additional $1 million. Now, as the weather is warming up, the department is moving forward with repairing the roads. Losquadro said the frequent below-freezing temperatures made the ground freeze deeper and is leading to potholes “literally forming overnight.” He said the warm daytime temperatures and colder nights aren’t helping the situation either, as the warming and refreezing of the ground allows liquid to get into cracks and expand. Although the holes aren’t finished forming, repairs are on the way. Losquadro said local asphalt plants are opening soon, which will benefit the department, as workers will no longer have to travel to and from Deer Park and Bay Shore to retrieve the materials. “They were only able to [pick up] two loads a day, which doesn’t go a long way,” Losquadro said. Despite the town’s effort, the potholes have been a nuisance for some residents. Mt. Sinai Bagel Cafe owner Marcus Argyros was driving on Mount Sinai-Coram Road on Monday when he popped a tire. “I didn’t swerve and because it was in the middle of the road, I hit it and it popped my tire,” Argyros said, as he worked to put a spare tire on his car. “It’s like Mario Kart with all the potholes right now.” In an effort to complete all of the repairs, Losquadro said the town is extending workdays by two hours. While residents can try to get reimbursed, the likelihood of it happening during this time is unlikely, as the potholes are to be expected. Losquadro urges residents to call the town when a pothole is visible so they can write it down and fix it as soon as possible. As for next winter, Losquadro is already planning. He said he would ask for an increase in the snow removal budget, as he wants to avoid being in this situation again.

OPINION

There’s nothing ‘pal’-like about Palcohol

BY JaY matuk

As a high school principal for the past 17 years, I am deeply troubled by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau’s recent decision approving the labeling of a new form of powdered alcohol called Palcohol. This substance can be easily mixed with water or any other beverage, making it a camouflaged cocktail drink that is as easy to make as lemonade or iced tea. On so many levels, I find this decision by the manufacturer, Lipsmark LLC, to market this prod-

LICADD also works with juana — we see it all. To be candid, the weight of these issues dozens of school districts to provide training, counseling and program assistance dwarfs our ongoing public debate regardto overwhelmed support staff employees ing Common Core education and the use (counselors, social workers, psychologists) of standardized testing for student and who are valiantly attempting to address professional evaluations.

uct a truly disturbing one. Schools across the nation are engaged in an ongoing struggle to address the rampant alcohol and substance abuse issues that plague our communities. Each year, educational leaders and support staff must be able to identify in our students the physiological symptoms caused by the latest “designer” drugs; each year, it seems some new pharmaceutical grade substance becomes popularized in mainstream teenage culture, and before you know it, you have an epidemic on your hands. Just look at the impact that misuse of opiates has had on young adults over the past few years. I know of far too many school districts that have seen current students or graduates succumb to this or other narcotics. I weary of attending more gut-wrenching funerals for children lost to this plague. Now we have the addition of a powdered alcohol mix, which can be added to any bottled beverage while hundreds of students occupy a cafeteria. There is just no level of adult supervision that could prevent the creation of such a cocktail in school. Adolescents being risk-takers by nature, one can only imagine the out-of-school “drinking game” opportunities this new substance would create as well. For the last three years, I have served on

pay raise,” he said. “In a family with two earners, the increase from $8.75 to $10.50 translates to more than $7,000 in additional income per year.” The proposal said Long Island currently sees 85,264 total minimumwage workers earning $8.75 today. But under the new plan, 202,248 Long Island workers would earn the minimum wage, bringing a direct economic value of $382.3 million to the island, Cuomo said. Perales spoke alongside Keith Bar-

rett, president of the Huntington Station Business Improvement District as well as Anne Shybunko-Moore, CEO of Hauppauge’s GSE Dynamics, to explain how higher minimum wages could bring better business to the North Shore. “Raising the minimum wage is not just about money, it’s about opportunity,” Perales said. “It’s about saying that everyone who works a full-time job should have the chance to live a decent life and put food on the table for themselves and their loved ones. Because at the end of the day, we are all part of the same community and the same state, and we are at our best when we all do well together.”

Eagles cheer team flies high over state squads Rocky Point High School’s varsity cheerleaders captured first place during the New York State Public High School Athletic Association cheerleading competition. The state held three competitions this

season, which were open to all schools in preparation for next year’s championship. It was a chance to compete using new cheerleading score sheets, which are different from previous scoring rules.

RP qualifies in Lego championship Team 6435, the Gear Headz, consisting of Rex Alex and Jennifer Bradley of Rocky Point Middle School, and Jade Pinkenburg of the high school, qualified for the First Lego League North American Open Championship in Carlsbad, Calif., May 15-17. On March 1, the team was awarded the first-place Champions Award. It also won the first-place Robot Performance award, beating out the other 39 teams participated in the First Lego League final, which took place at Longwood High School.

Each year First Lego releases a new challenge consisting of three parts: project, requiring participants to come up with innovative solutions to real world problems; core values, where teams solve a surprise challenge and are evaluated on their ability to work together; and the robot game, where teams have to use their self-designed and programmed robot to achieve specific tasks. The Gear Headz team excelled in all areas of the competition and is pictured above with its First Lego trophy.

Rocky Point High School studentathlete Devin Abernethy has earned success on the track at both the county and state levels. She was an All-County runner in the 300-meter dash, and was also selected to the intersectional relay team, where she represented the team from Suffolk County at the state meet. There, she ran the second leg for the county Section XI relay team, which finished fourth and received a state medal. Photo from Rocky Point school district

OPINION

Some believe marriage should be only between a man and woman.

Really a right? TO THE EDITOR: When is a right not a right? When the perceived right is an action or behavior that is immoral. The intellectual discourse on the question of same-sex marriage has reached new lows of incoherence with recent letters to the editor in other local publications and President Obama’s remarks celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Selma march. These remarks have aired the oft-repeated canard equating the civil rights movement to the homosexual

rights movement. In particular, the same-sex marriage debate has descended into a myopic and heavy-handed view from same-sex marriage proponents with virtually no substance being offered, but vilification of those who know and believe that redefining marriage is wrong. Let’s not make the colossal mistake the president and others are making when they equate indigenous biological characteristics such as race with behaviors such as homosexuality.

EDITORIAL

More than the bare minimum

New York Secretary of State Cesar Perales hit Hauppauge last week to outline Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to increase the state minimum wage from $8.75 to $10.50. In his pitch, Perales projected a rippling economic impact that could potentially give 150,000 workers a pay raise and bring $382.3 million in value to Long Island. While this newspaper supports the notion of empowering our low-income earners with higher minimum wages, we still only see it as a one-dimensional, shortterm fix that does not address the bigger issues of affordability. Raising the minimum wage is a risky move that could end up hurting us in the long run if not done in conjunction with other means to address inflation and making New York — and Long Island — more affordable and livable. Long Island has already been struggling to prevent its young people from relocating because of its lack of affordable living options, and raising wages could consequently end

up bringing the cost of living even higher for those still hanging on. It’s already hard enough to live on Long Island as rents continue to skyrocket and costs continue to increase. That’s why we need a multi-pronged approach to coincide with the established proposal to raise the state minimum wage, which has increased a total $4.50 since 1991. There are plenty of pros to raising the minimum wage, and Perales outlined key points during his Hauppauge visit — he said the number of workers on Long Island earning minimum wage would jump from the current 85,264 to 202,248. But the state must not ignore the cons that come with such a move, including the potential layoffs at Long Island’s small businesses lining the main streets of our communities. Our leaders too often put short-term patches on long-term wounds. Those immediate fixes serve a purpose, but we should be looking at the bigger picture.

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

Using scents in sweaty adolescent arguments

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

dolescence stinks. I’m not talking about the heightened age of self-consciousness, the potential for bullying, the physical and emotional growing pains, or the shifting alliances with friends who become enemies who become friends again. Those all stink applying the definition of the quintessentially American expression: “That stinks.”

What I’m describing is the literal smell, as in “Ooh, those roses smell beautiful”; or “Wow, that smell reminds me of the time I went to Montauk and we saw dolphins and whales while drinking aromatic hot chocolate with whipped cream.” With their spectacularly busy schedules, thanks to us, no doubt, teenagers live in the same uniforms day after day. The last thing we do before going to bed, or the first thing we do when we get up in the morning, is to throw those uniforms in the washing machine. We can’t and don’t wash their footwear every night. We can air it out, we can put deodorizers in it, we can even, in a fit of pique, rush out and buy them a new set of Storm Trooper cleats to protect ourselves, but, eventually, the sneakers in the cabinet by the door — or tucked in the basement — develop a cloud of toxic fumes above them.

On the positive side, I suppose, the horrific stench could be like smelling salts. If they are suddenly feeling tired or they bump into one wall too many, as soon as they go down on the ground, they smell their own and everybody else’s cleats and spring back into action. “I’m fine,” they say, as they wobble on one knee, “just get me off that floor.” Sensing that their sweat-driven, body-changing odors may be offensive, some children use deodorants, scented moisturizers or perfume — in the case of my daughter’s friends. That’s like diving into a pool that is way too hot and way too cold, confusing the senses without defeating the odor. I recently brought my son and a friend back from a basketball practice and pulled up next to a mom who was shuttling home six sweaty teammates. We rolled down our windows at a red light and my nose felt as if it had returned to the gym.

No car, not even one with a new car smell, would stand a chance against the pungent odors of adolescence marinating in her three rows of boys. “Oh, hey,” I said, as the boys greeted each other through their open windows. “I guess you got the bigger carpool duty today.” “Uh huh,” she grunted, making it clear she’d somehow drawn the short, smelly straw. “That’s, um, a lot of sweat in there, huh?” I said. She winced while concentrating on breathing only through her mouth. When the light turned green, I thought about those incredible first few months of our kids’ lives. The smells from the delicate shampoos were like the kind of subtle flavor waiters describe to entice us into ordering the specials of the day. Even after those magnificent miracles of life no longer occupied a room, their comforting smell made us forget the late

Maybe the smell assault is one more way to challenge authority figures.

nights of “what’s wrong with her, why won’t she go to sleep,” or the “why is she crying now,” reminding us, instead, of how sweet life can be. Maybe the smell assault is one more way adolescents challenge authority figures. When their feet enter the room, we don’t need to see their frustrated faces or hear their answerswith-attitude to know another battle is about to begin, filled with arguments that sometimes don’t make sense — and scents that make their own arguments.

A splendid turnout at Emma Clark library

y now, many people have heard of the Setauket Spy Ring and its leader, Benjamin Tallmadge that operated valuably during the Revolutionary War. For that and for putting Setauket “on the map,” so to speak, we can thank AMC’s “Turn,” the cable television program soon to begin Season 2. That these adventure stories have made our village famous I can vouch for personally. Many times, when I have been asked where I am from and have answered, “Setauket,” I have then

had to explain, even to Long Islanders, my hometown’s location as being between our betterknown neighbors, Stony Brook and Port Jefferson. Now people will sometimes respond, “Oh, the Setauket spies.” They may still not have a geographic grasp, but at least they are impressed. “Turn,” however, is just that, a series of adventure stories whose goal is to entertain and only accidentally teach. Unlike the popular series, “Downton Abbey” on PBS, where there is a full-time historian employed to assure accuracy of even the smallest details concerning the table settings, “Turn” makes up the narrative when the historic details aren’t convenient for the plot. That is not to say that all characterizations and facts are not correct in the TV series. We learned of some that are and some that are not at a panel Sunday afternoon in the Emma Clark library in “famous” Setauket. The event, directed and moderated by reference librarian, Carolyn Emerson, featured five distinguished historians

who answered questions from the moderator about the lives of citizens, soldiers and spies at the gathering titled, “Setauket During the Revolution.” The five were town historian Barbara Russell; Three Village Historical Society’s Beverly Tyler; Suffolk Cooperative Library System’s Mark Rothenberg; Third Regiment, New York historian Bob Winowitch; and Elizabeth Kahn Kaplan, lecturer and curator of the “Spies” exhibit at the historical society. Each panelist spoke for a few minutes, then answered questions from the standingroom-only crowd. For fun and instruction, most of the panel came dressed in clothes reminiscent of the Revolutionary War era. Tallmadge, founder and head of the network, was a major, active in the Revolutionary battles in the north, even as he organized and oversaw the spy ring they called Culper. Abraham Woodhull was the resident spy, later replaced by Robert Townsend, and Caleb Brewster served as a courier, ferrying messages across the Long Island

Sound to Washington in Connecticut. Others were deeply involved, including Austin Roe and Anna Smith Strong. The spy work was stressful and dangerous and involved the use of “invisible ink,” messages written between the lines of legitimate bills of sale whose words could be read only with the application of a special reagent. Much of the intelligence garnered came from mingling with the British in New York City, and so those spies had to have apparent reason to travel back and forth. One significant accomplishment of the spies was to alert Washington that the British were sailing with a superior force to greet the French, who had entered the war and were due to disembark in Newport, R.I. Washington was then able to plant a fake set of plans for the invasion of New York City where the British would discover it. Intent on keeping control of New York City, which they viewed as key to their success, the British fleet turned around in the Sound to rush back for the anticipated

battle. As a result, the French landed without opposition. Life on Long Island under eight years of British occupation was hard. Residents were routinely subjected to forays by British troops for food and valuables. The population at the time was agrarian, with hard farm labor the order of the day, and the British viewed Long Island as their breadbasket. No one was safe, and as a result many who started the war as Loyalists became Patriots — hence the title “Turn.” To judge the difference a TV series makes, in 2013 there were up to three visitors a week to the spy exhibit at the historical society, sometimes none; in 2014, there were 30. If you watch the AMC series, as I will on DVD, be sure to check the facts on any number of relevant websites.
