Heritage Park has some new arrivals. Following the unveiling of the plant maze and with a splash pad currently in the works, a free book exchange program has landed at the Mount Sinai square. The park’s newest addition — Little Free Library — can be found next to the shack concession stand, which sits alongside the playground on the west side of the park. A nonprofit organization, Little Free Library inspires a love of reading and builds community relationships by fostering neighborhood book exchanges. According to the U.S. Department of Education, up to 61 percent of low-income families do not have access to books for their children at home, and the organization hopes to increase that access for readers of all ages and backgrounds. The books, which can be borrowed or swapped, are located in a red, house-shaped box on a post in front of a large rock near the shack at the Wedge. Heritage Trust, the nonprofit that runs the

park and the Heritage Center, is also working on enhancing the playground. Repairing and improving the park is a priority for the organization, with the playground being one of the most-used features at the Wedge. With much of the fundraising being weather dependent, the trust has had a difficult time keeping up with events while finding the funds needed to fix sections of the playground. Currently, pieces of the playground have been closed for use, and with the repairs costing more than the trust anticipates — about $7,000 — the nonprofit is looking for the community’s help. A GoFundMe has been set up to help the trust come up with the money to make repairs. “Our children in the community really love Heritage Park,” the trust wrote on the GoFundMe page. “The playground gets lots of use, but the repairs are costly. We remain dedicated to maintaining and improving our park for everyone who wants a safe place to enjoy the open spaces and participate in community activities.” To contribute to Heritage Trust’s fundraising efforts, visit www.gofundme.com/ heritageplayground.

Town Millennial housing could be headed to Mount Sinai By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com A long-vacant property next to King Kullen in Mount Sinai could be a go-to living destination for young professionals and college graduates in the near future. According to a real estate investors group’s preliminary proposal made during the recent Mount Sinai Civic Association meeting, they want to give millennials a suburban place to stay and a sense of community.

“A lot of our young people leave Long Island because they can’t afford to stay here,” said Michael Russo, an architect working with the Nassau-based group Basser-Kaufman, to residents at the Heritage Center June 5. “Mount Sinai is a desirable place to live [and] we’ve put a lot of thought into making it work for millennials.” An expansive, 140-rental unit community is envisioned in the early stages of the concept, gearing toward those in their mid to late 20s, to occupy the rear portion on the nearly 35 acres of unused land along Nesconset Highway. The proposed site would also include potential retail developments such as Trader Joe’s, other commercial buildings, an open green space for public use and recreation, a community center with fitness and yoga rooms for residents and several amenities to attract the younger demographic, such as bicycle racks, dog-walk areas and electric car charging stations. Valet trash services would also be made available to eliminate large, noisy trucks. Rental prices for one-bedroom and twobedroom units would range between $1,900 and $2,200 a month, according to the group’s legal representative — priced lower than many competitive apartments in the area, such as the New Village apartments in Patchogue, to make it manageable for young people to live in the region. “Having this for younger people in your district is an advantage,” said Steven Losquad-

You don’t want them going out of state, you want to have them here where they grew up.” The executive board of the civic association, including President Ann Becker and Vice President Brad Arrington, had met previously with the developers to discuss the draft pro-

posal and ensure its concept fit the vision of the community. “Without risking discrimination, how will you restrict it to millennials?” asked Mount Sinai resident and board of education member Edward Law. While the speakers said they couldn’t legally limit occupancy to just young people,

Gov. Cuomo among creators of new climate alliance Local officials weigh in on President Trump’s decision to withdraw from Paris Agreement By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com U.S. President Donald Trump’s (R) decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, a global effort to combat the threat of climate change, elicited strong responses from around the world. One of the more notable reacPage A26 tions came from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who along with the governors of California and Washington State established the United States Climate Alliance. The coalition will convene the three states, and others that have come out in support of the initiative, in committing to uphold the parameters of the Paris Agreement despite Trump’s June 1 announcement. As of June 5 the alliance included 13 members — 12 states and Puerto Rico. “The White House’s reckless decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement has devastating repercussions not only for the United States, but for our planet,” Cuomo said in a statement. “New York State is committed to meeting the standards set forth in the Paris accord regardless of Washington’s irresponsible actions.

Editorial comment

We will not ignore the science and reality of climate change, which is why I am also signing an executive order confirming New York’s leadership role in protecting our citizens, our environment and our planet.” The Paris Agreement, which officially took effect in November 2016, aimed to strengthen the response to climate change globally by keeping temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius during the current century and also strengthen countries’ ability to deal with the effects of climate change. The U.S. is now one of only three nations on the planet not included in the agreement. According to Cuomo, the United States Climate Alliance will seek to reduce emissions by 26 to 28 percent from 2005 levels and meet or exceed the targets of the federal Clean Power Plan, each of which were self-imposed U.S. goals of the Paris Agreement. The Clean Power Plan was established in 2015 to establish state-by-state targets for carbon emission reductions. Trump signed an executive order early on in his administration placing a hold on the plan and pledging a review. Cuomo also announced New York State will be investing $1.65 billion in renewable energy and energy efficiency in the aftermath of Trump’s decision. In addition he said he

aims to create 40,000 clean energy jobs by 2020. Republican New York State Sens. John Flanagan (REast Northport) and Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) did not respond to requests for comment through spokespersons. Local officials from across the political spectrum spoke out about Trump’s decision in the aftermath of the announcement. “We live on an island and have already begun to see some of the effects of our rising seas,” Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said in a statement. “To protect Brookhaven for our children and generations to come it is our responsibility to take action now. The president’s announcement today regarding the Paris climate accord is disappointing. On behalf of our residents, I will continue to fight to protect our environment.” Democrats including 3rd Congressional District U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-New York) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York) and others blasted the decision in public statements. “President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement is a devastating failure of historic proportions,” Schumer said. “Future generations will look back on President Trump’s decision as one of the worst policy moves made in the 21st century because of the huge damage to our economy, our environment and our geopolitical standing. Pulling out of the Paris Agreement doesn’t put America first, it puts America last in recognizing science, in being a world leader and protecting our own shoreline, our economy and our planet.” New York State 4th District Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) expressed support for the newly minted climate alliance on Twitter, sharing the hashtag “#LeadNotLeave.” First Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (RShirley) said in an emailed statement through a spokeswoman that he supported many of the goals of the Paris Agreement, but thought the U.S. “approached this entire agreement all wrong.” He criticized former President Barack Obama (D), who played a leadership role in establishing the Paris Agreement, for bypassing Congress in reaching the agreement and for what he viewed as outsized pledges made by the U.S. compared to other world powers in the agreement. “What we need to do moving forward should include continuing to take an international approach to protect clean air and clean water, and reduce emissions that are impacting our climate, but we must negotiate it correctly so that we aren’t over promising, under delivering and causing unnecessary harm,” he said. During Trump’s June 1 speech announcing the withdrawal, he sited a loss of American jobs in the coal industry and crippling regulations on the business world as the drivers behind his decision. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, who was appointed by Trump, praised his decision. “This is a historic restoration of American Economic Independence — one that will benefit the working class, the working poor, and working people of all stripes,” he said. “With this action, you have declared that people are the rulers of this country once again.” Administrators from the New York District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration, a government agency that offers support to small businesses, were not available to comment on Trump’s decision or the formation of the United States Climate Alliance, but a spokesperson for the department instead directed the request to answers U.S. SBA Administrator Linda McMahon gave to Yahoo Global News June 6. She agreed with Trump’s decision to leave the Paris Agreement, adding she believes this will result in more job opportunities for Americans. “I think [Trump] was making a statement that we’re going to look at what’s good for America first,” she said. “I do think climate change is real, and I do think that man has some contribution to climate change. As to the extent of the science, predictions as to what might happen 20, 30, 40 years from now, I’m not sure we have that totally decided, but I do respect the science behind a lot of it.”

Mount Sinai softball suffers first loss of the season in LIC By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com It took 23 games, but the undefeated 2017 Mount Sinai Mustangs softball team finally met its match in the Long Island championship game. The Mustangs fell to MacArthur, 7-0, June 2 at St. Joseph’s College for its first loss of the season. Sophomore starting pitcher Julia Golino allowed five earned runs, 10 hits and two walks over 3.1 innings to blemish

her perfect record. Mount Sinai’s powerful offense managed just four hits in the final after scoring at least six runs in 11 out of their last 12 games. For a third consecutive season, the Mustangs reached the high of a county championship, only to fall short of a Long Island crown. MacArthur’s Jessica Budrewicz shut down Mount Sinai with a complete game shutout, seven strikeout performance. She allowed three Mustang hits in the first two innings, but just one more over the final five. Mount Sinai head coach Thomas Tilton applauded her performance in the circle. “She’s good man — she moves it, she’s got a rise ball, a nice changeup, she hit her spots and she didn’t miss much,” he said. “Tip your hat to her, she’s a good pitcher. That kid can throw.” The Generals put Golino in a hole early, scoring the first five runs on two-out hits. Golino couldn’t escape trouble in the fourth frame, and junior Emma Wimmer had to come into the game in relief to stop the bleeding. Even a 40-minute weather delay due to thunder and lightning couldn’t cool off Budrewicz and the MacArthur bats. The Mustangs’ head coach reflected on the impact the team’s three seniors had on the season. “They left a great mark, a great mark,” Tilton said of the departing group of 12thgraders who helped deliver the first three Suffolk County championships in program history during their tenure. “They’re the foundation of what we’ve built here and hopefully we can continue to do it.” The Mustangs will be returning all but one starter in 2018, as left fielder Angela Bukofsky is the only regular graduating. “It definitely means a lot — it’s great,” an emotional Bukofsky said after the game of

Going from a record that was about even in wins and losses to being 22-0 is just amazing.’ — Angela Bukofsky the three county crowns she’ll be leaving behind at Mount Sinai. She said her teammates were what she will miss most about playing for the Mustangs. “We definitely deserve it. We worked really hard to get here. Going from a record that was about even in wins and losses to being 22-0 is just amazing.” Though the loss stings now, Tilton said he still has a hopeful eye on the future. “I think we’ve got a really strong team again next year — we’ll be back at it,” he

said. Golino and fellow starting pitcher Wimmer dominated all season in 2017 for the Mustangs, and both will be back to try to get over the hump in 2018. Standout shortstop Lové Drumgole, who Tilton called “the real deal,” and one of the best players on the Island earlier in the playoffs, will also be returning for her senior season to give a run at a Long Island title another shot. “We won’t be quitting,” Tilton said. “I can tell you that.”

SWR’s magical run comes up short in LI championship By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com An old baseball adage says to beat a dominant starting pitcher, you have to get to him early, and facing one of the most dominant hurlers in recent Long Island baseball history, the Wantagh Warriors executed the game plan to perfection. The first six batters to face ShorehamWading River standout senior starter Brian Morrell all reached base, and the first four eventually scored in a nightmare first inning for the Wildcats, who dropped the Class A Long Island championship game June 3 at SUNY Old Westbury, 4-2. The Warriors sent nine men to the plate in the bottom of the first on four hits and two walks to jump out early, and eventually hand Shoreham-Wading River its first loss since April 5. The loss snapped a 20-game Wildcats win streak. Wantagh was crowned the Long Island Class A champion for the second consecutive season after knocking off Mount Sinai for the title in 2016. “I think they had a good approach because Brian’s hard to hit, so they probably just started hacking away when they could and got a good piece of the ball and did what they had to do to win,” senior catcher and team captain Thomas Brady said of Wantagh’s big inning against Morrell. The University of Notre Dame-bound starting pitcher finished his rockiest outing of the season allowing four earned runs on five hits, three walks and five strikeouts over six innings. He eventually settled in,

and only one Warrior base runner reached second base after the first inning. “It was like a dream come true kind of,” Brady said of the scorching stretch of baseball Shoreham-Wading River put together to reach the final game. “We all worked as hard as we possibly could. I love these guys to death and now we’re all moving on to a new chapter. Hopefully the younger kids can bring it home next year.” The Wildcats entire starting lineup was comprised of seniors Saturday. Head coach Kevin Willi reflected on the successes of the outgoing 16-man senior class following their last game in blue and gold. “They were awesome — I mean really all 16 guys were diehard all year,” he said. “They worked their tails off the entire time. I wish we could have came home with a Long Island championship for them, but that’s the way it happens. A county championship is a pretty good accomplishment, especially with the best record in program history; those are good things to remember that these guys earned.” Wantagh’s left-handed starting pitcher, junior Anthony Fontana, kept the Wildcats normally potent offense off balance for most of the game. He allowed just two earned runs on five singles and a walk over five innings of work. Saturday was the first time all season Shoreham-Wading River had been held to two runs or less. “He’s curveball heavy, so a lot of our guys don’t want to swing at a first pitch curveball, but when the pitcher gets ahead with a curveball the batter is already at a disadvantage,” Willi said. “We hit him hard a bunch of times, and right at guys. He did a good job.”

Despite the slow day offensively, the Wildcats still had a chance in the bottom of the seventh inning trailing 4-2 with Morrell — who hit two grand slams in the previous three games — at the plate as the tying run. He grounded out to third on a high chopper to end the Wildcats hopes of heading upstate for a shot at a

state championship. Despite the disappointing conclusion, Willi reiterated how proud he was of the achievements of his 2017 squad. “It was awesome — we played really well through that stretch,” he said of winning 20 straight. “Even this game we played well. We ran into a good Wantagh team.”

Annual races support Miller Place athletics By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Runners gathered to honor a local leader and mentor, while raising funds in support of Miller Place athletics. The 21st annual Joe Keany 5K and 1-mile runs commenced June 3, with North Shore runners grabbing first-place finishes while paying homage to a former Miller Place track runner. “Joe Keany would go and mow the lawn and go around the neighborhood looking to do chores and do you know what he did with the money? He rode his bike down to the Smith Haven Mall and donated it to the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon,” said Jackie Rose, the event’s organizer and emcee. The telethon raised money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. “We’re running for good character, we’re running for acts of kindness.” Rose added that when Keany was in college, he and a friend rode their bikes from “We couldn’t do it without the local busiCortland to California and back, donating the money made in support of his endeavor nesses who get involved and support us,” the six-year president said. to charity.

He finished right behind Steinbrecher in 17:16.67. Senior Brendon Murphy and freshman Danelle Rose were the male and female recipients of the Joe Keany Cup, given to the Miller Place student or alumni that finishes first.

“We have repeat runners young and old,” Rose said. “It’s nice to see.” Rose was also the first female to cross the finish line last year, and subsequently, was the Joe Keany Cup winner then too. The two are current varsity track and field and cross-country athletes. “It’s our mission to instill that charitable kindness into the students of Miller Place and surrounding areas,” Rose said. “We hope they go out and follow in the footsteps of Joe Keany.” Bill Landon contributed reporting

Millennial Housing Plan Continued from page A3 fit the vision of the community. “Without risking discrimination, how will you restrict it to millennials?” asked Mount Sinai resident and board of education member Edward Law. While the speakers said they couldn’t legally limit occupancy to just young people, their intention is to specifically market it to that age group through advertising locations and methods. “What’s the projected time line?” was another question that was asked. Russo said the construction would take 18 months to two years, but added it could take years to get the project approved. Mount Sinai resident Peter Pranzo voiced his concern about the already increasing number of students in the district, he said, as a result of young parents in the housing development. He said he’s afraid of the financial pressure it could put on schools to pay additional costs for more new students. “I’m against it,” he said of the proposal. “There’s no way we can sustain 60, 70 or 100 more children in our area.” Arrington argued the opposite.

The current proposed site plan for millennial housing in Mount Sinai, above, features 140 rental units, commercial stores and other amenities, and would replace a current wooded lot, on left. “Class sizes are shrinking quite a bit,” he said. “A lot of our enrollment is actually down in younger grades. These aren’t going to be terribly large apartments, so by the time that child enrolls in school it’s pretty likely the parents are going to move out and buy a house.” Losquadro agreed, insisting the development would be geared toward young professionals and there wouldn’t be a substantial influx of children. When a resident suggested the possibility of those behind the proposal abandoning it in favor of solely retail space, Becker spoke up. “These gentlemen were very open with

us and we were open with them,” Becker told the crowd at the end of the meeting. “We don’t want a lot of things — big box stores or gas stations — and they’re trying, and working with the town. They’re completely transparent. This is the first presentation to the community, no plans have been submitted and nothing has gone through any process of change. This is just step one. We’re very interested in hearing your response.” For more than a decade, the town has worked alongside many developers with plans to build within the empty lot — everything from commercial buildings to retirement communities to community-

oriented gathering spaces and clock towers — all of which fizzled out due to inflated visions or conflicting desires of residents. In the last few months, Steven Kaufman and Marc Kemp of the investors group took control of the project, determined to give the community what they felt it wanted, and ask for input before anything is approved or built. “Right now, I think I’m for it,” Mount Sinai resident Monica Stone said after the meeting. “I think we need to be open to ideas like this ... We don’t want it to become an industrial business area, and it sounds to me like what the developers are proposing is a good balance.”

Wildcats can’t overcome Cold Spring Harbor in LIC game By DeSirée KeeGAn Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Shoreham-Wading River’s boys’ lacrosse team finally met its match. The Wildcats were tamed by a potent Cold Spring Harbor offense June 3, falling 16-7 in the Class C Long Island championship title game. “It’s a hard pill to swallow,” Shoreham-Wading River head coach Mike Taylor said. “To go 16-3 and win the Suffolk County championship is tough enough. Unfortunately, we met a juggernaut in Cold Spring Harbor. They played excellent.” Each time the Wildcats made a mistake, whether not winning the faceoff, falling victim to a forced turnover or having a pass bounce out of bounds, the Seahawks capitalized on the opportunity. “Every time we made a mistake they made us pay, and they made us pay not only in possession, but turning those possessions into goals,” Taylor said. “They’re a good team; they’re some of the best.”

CSH 16 SWR 7

Taylor thought the two teams matched up similarly, and they did. Senior Chris Gray, who just recently edged out Smithtown East’s Connor DeSimone to become Suffolk County’s leading scorer with 90 goals and 25 assists, and Long Island’s top goal scorer, was a similar scoring threat that Cold Spring Harbor’s Taylor Strough was. Each team has lockdown defenders and plenty of other offensive weapons. “We’re both run-and-gun teams with so many guys that can score,” Taylor said. “The ball bounced their way a little more, and they made a lot less mistakes defensively. And our mistakes turned into big goals.” Strough finished with four goals and two assists, while Gray led the Wildcats with three goals and two assists. Shoreham-Wading River, which edged out Garden City last year for the Class B Long Island title, also had contributions from senior Sean Haplin and freshman Xavier Arline, who added two goals each. The Seahawks were up 4-0 before Gray scored unassisted on a dodge from behind the cage — the Wildcats’ only goal of the

first quarter. He added another at the fourminute mark off a Joe Miller faceoff win, but Shoreham-Wading River was down 11-2 at the half. After a 5-0 Cold Spring Harbor run that triggered a running clock with the team up 14-2, Arline scored twice, sandwiching a Haplin goal off a feed from Gray, to try and stop the bleeding. After a Seahawks tally, Gray completed his hat trick to help the Wildcats close within 10, 16-6. Haplin’s final goal came off another assist from Gray at 2:14, but neither team would score thereafter. “It’s been special,” Taylor said of taking his seniors on the Long Island championship-bound journey two seasons in a row. “I’ve had three years with some extremely talented kids, and I may never see that kind of talent again like I have in Kevin Cutinella, Danny Cassidy, Chris Gray. I have

16 fabulous seniors that are great lacrosse players and even better kids. It’s hard to spend so much time with them and see them move on, but I wish them nothing but the best.” Cutinella said he’s felt privileged to be coached by Taylor and his assistants. “[They have] spent so much time developing a team that can perform at a championship level year in and year out,” Cutinella said. “As a team, we didn’t perform well and to the level that Cold Spring Harbor played up to, and ultimately the score spoke for itself. But Shoreham-Wading River has shaped me into the person I am today. I’m grateful we made it this far, and even more grateful to play with all the other players on my team. My teammates, these coaches have done a lot for me, and I can’t thank them enough.”

Clockwise from left, Meaghan Tyrrell moves the ball acrosse midfield; the Mount sinai girls’ lacrosse team celebrates its third straight Long island championship win; Hannah Van Middelem makes a save; Leah nonnenmann races between two Wantagh defenders; and Morgan Mitchell carries the ball into Wantagh’s zone.

Tyrrell’s four goals, Mustangs’ defense protect LI title By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com With a defensive unit like Mount Sinai’s, the girls’ lacrosse team knows it only needs a small cushion to rest easy. The Mustangs’ Class C Long Island championship game was a textbook example, as Hannah Van Middelem’s five stops sparked a potent offensive rush — led by Meaghan Tyrrell’s four goals and two assists — on the way to the team’s third straight Long Island crown. The feat was achieved with a 10-4 win over Wantagh June 4 at Adelphi University. “I felt good because I know I have one of the best defenses in the country in front of me,” Van Middelem said. “And our offense really stepped up to help.” The Mustangs’ defenders and offensive players see it a little differently. “She’s a great goalie,” sophomore Morgan Mitchell said of Van Middelem. “She picks us up. When she makes those big saves and gives us another chance with the ball, we get pumped.” The senior goalkeeper’s first save of the game following an opening draw win by Wantagh led to Tyrell’s first goal, and the

Mount Sinai 10 Wantagh 4

junior attack put Mount Sinai ahead 2-1 minutes later. Senior Veronica Venezia tied the game, 3-3, off a feed from Mitchell. Van Middelem made another save before Mitchell and Venezia — who finished with three goals — scored on assists from Tyrrell in the final two minutes of the first half, for a 6-3 Mustangs lead. At the 23:05 mark of the second half, Van Middelem intercepted a Wantagh pass across the front of the cage, and deflected a shot with 10:10 left to play during a sixminute span of Warriors possession, until they lost the ball after an attacker stepped in the crease. “Hannah is always there to make a stop,” senior defender Emily Vengilio said. “She’s the best. When we have a breakdown on defense, I wouldn’t want anyone else in goal.” Tyrrell, who led the team with 57 goals and 35 assists during the 2017 season, good for sixth on Suffolk County’s points leaderboard, added two more unassisted shots as she circled around the left side of the goal to put Mount Sinai up 8-3. “You’re trying to shake off the defenders and get open for your teammates,” the junior said. “It’s kind of cool.” Draw wins and ground ball pickups by senior Rayna Sabella and Tyrrell’s younger sister Emma also helped the team jump out to its lead midway through the second half. “Once we got the ground balls it led to great offensive opportunities,” Meaghan Tyrrell said. “Whenever a goalie makes a big save in a big moment it’s an intensity increaser. Our defense played confidently, and it showed on the field.” Mount Sinai head coach Al Bertolone noted the difficulty in achieving the backto-back-to-back championships. “I’m really proud of the kids — they dug in there and the culture here is built to last,” he said. “This is the group that’s been in the mix since 2014, so we’ve had a lot of these kids around creating and sustaining the culture.” Bertolone said the key to the win was limiting the touches of Wantagh’s dynamic offense — highlighted by a quartet of scorers.

“We needed to get in and out of a lot of defenses depending on which one had the ball,” he said. “Defensively, I don’t know if Wantagh matched up with the things we were doing down there. Once we get the lead, with the defense that we have, we’re pretty good.” Mitchell was also impressed with the defense, led by Vengilio, senior Haley Dillon and twins Meaghan and Kirsten Scutaro, which has held opponents to 3.7 goals per game this season, including two shutouts in April. “Our cuts, picks and screens were the best they’ve been all season,” Mitchell said. “This senior group, they mean the world to me, and I wanted their last year to be a special one.” Leah Nonnenmann, who added two goals in the win, said she remembers losing in the county final game her freshman year, and the motivation she had to come back and change the result the following year. “All I could think about was coming back next season and winning it all,” she said. “It wasn’t an easy ride — we had to work hard

— and we continue to prove everyone wrong. We fought for the respect we deserve.” That longtime mission was accomplished, according to Vengilio. “It feels better than all the other ones,” she said of the win this season. Tyrrell agreed: “Three LICs in a row — how much better can it get?”

Letters to the editor Brookhaven Town still on track for greener tomorrow

President Trump’s decision fails Americans, and the world Late last week President Donald Trump (R) announced his intention for the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, an accord signed by 197 countries in 2016 to mitigate the global effects of climate change. The U.S. target was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. We intensely disagree with Trump’s decision, one made by only two other countries in the world. The U.S. was the second leading country in greenhouse gas emissions in 2015, behind China, according to the World Resources Institute. Our nation emits more pollutants than the 28 countries making up the European Union, which is home to almost 200 million more people than America. Why is this bad? In simple terms, emitting greenhouse gases into the Earth’s atmosphere warms the Earth’s surface so, as our emissions continue to increase, so does our surface temperature. The two warmest years in the U.S. were 2012 and 2015, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, and the decade from 2006 to 2015 was the warmest on record. Aside from a warmer Earth, sea levels are also rising as a result of climate change. In a special issue earlier this year, we explored the many reasons why a warming planet spells out danger for Long Island. The first victims of climate change will undoubtedly be those living on shorelines, especially to the north, as water levels rise. First early victims, though, will be those in small, impoverished countries. Tuvalu, a cluster of nine islands in the South Pacific, has already seen a fifth of its population flee their homes, most to New Zealand, as their land continues to be swallowed by the ocean. Climate change refugees have barely any guidelines or funds to help them once they lose their homes. Trump suggested his decision stemmed from a desire to go back to promoting “clean coal” as a source of energy, as opposed to cleaner — in reality — 21st century options like wind and solar. With this decision, we’re not being international leaders, shaping a promising future for the next generation. Instead, we’re passing the buck. Trump said he plans to renegotiate U.S. involvement in the agreement to make a better deal. While we challenge him to keep his word, French President Emmanuel Macron said, “There is no plan B because there is no planet B.” New York state is one of 13 members of the United States Climate Alliance, an agreement between 12 states and Puerto Rico to uphold the tenants of the Paris Agreement despite the federal government’s decision. We commend New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) for his efforts to keep our state poised to push toward a sustainable future, along with other leaders across the country that have refused to accept Trump’s decision. Climate change will continue to affect us despite our president’s lack of support for combating the danger, and we cannot afford to follow in his footsteps.

The president’s announcement regarding the Paris climate accord is disappointing. As supervisor of the largest town on Long Island, I am committed to continuing our fight to protect the environment. We live on an island and have already begun to see some of the effects of our rising seas. To protect Brookhaven for our children and generations to come, it is our responsibility to take action now. I am proud to have initiated a number of policies to help fight climate change. In my 2015 State of the Town address, I identified an ambitious goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions from town operations in half, by 2020. The town board and I have taken action based on the best available science on climate change. This year, our goal of planting 10,000 trees by 2020 was attained — a full two years early. As a result of our efforts, the Town of Brookhaven has been named a Tree City by the Arbor Foundation for the last three consecutive years.

This past fall we purchased our first all-electric vehicle. We plan to purchase three more all-electric vehicles this year, and to install a charging station at Town Hall. These electric vehicles will allow us to retire older gas-powered vehicles. In addition, we will be purchasing battery-powered landscape equipment to replace two-stroke gas-powered equipment that emits high levels of pollutants and noise. We have completed energy audits of town facilities that have resulted in energy upgrades, including LED interior lighting throughout Town Hall, at the Mastic Pool and at Calabro Airport in Shirley. Brookhaven is also working to procure green power for town facilities. We are engaged with New York State’s energy efficiency efforts and with a Solarize Brookhaven program that installed solar panels on over 70 houses. Brookhaven instituted changes to our building codes that make it easier than ever for residents to

install solar panels on their homes and businesses. We have upgraded our land use and building codes to protect our forests and to ensure energy efficiency. The town is also replacing interior lighting with exterior LEDs at ball fields and Town Hall. We have initiated a capital project to replace all of our older streetlights, over 30,000 of them, with efficient LED fixtures over the next two years. The primary reason we are taking these actions is to protect the environment. These efforts are not only beneficial to our environment, they also benefit our bottom line and reduce our need to buy fossil fuels that may originate from unstable regions of the world that are hostile to our country and our beliefs. With the support of my fellow town board members, and informed by science, I will continue to lead Brookhaven toward a greener and cleaner tomorrow.

Promoting economic stimulus plan as pollution solution Your editorial policy repeats the county’s misinformation that we must protect our waters from nitrogen pollution by replacing our septic systems with these new advanced treatment systems. There is no doubt that nitrogen is a problem in some locations, but these complicated treatment systems in our front yards are not the answer. Studies have shown that nitrogen from acid rain falling directly on the bays and runoff from the land together with fertilizers are a major component of nitrogen pollution. These expensive septic systems (up to $20,000 installation and $600/yr operation and maintenance) will do nothing to reduce nitrogen from these sources. The county’s own website touts that these new systems are suitable for construction on small lots near wetland areas “with significant site constraints such as high ground-

water … in coastal areas” (www. ReclaimOurWater.info). Any additional construction in the watershed will increase nitrogen from runoff regardless of the type of septic system installed. The long-term solution is to limit population density and development in environmentally sensitive areas, not increase it. The fact that the environmental and editorial community has jumped on board shows what a great PR job the county has done in promoting an economic stimulus package as a pollution solution. Plans are already in the works to require these systems to be installed, not just in sensitive areas, but whenever a septic system has to be pumped or whenever a property is sold. The industry projects that thousands of jobs will be created with millions of dollars coming out of our pockets. This is the underlying reason for the

program — to help plug the $100 million plus hole in the county budget — at taxpayers’ expense. The grant program only pays about half of the installation cost with the owner having to shell out or take a loan for the additional cost estimated at up to $10,000, not including landscape and legal fees. The new Article 19 of the Sanitary Code also requires that the owners of the new system file deed restrictions against their property that require maintenance contracts be paid in perpetuity and subjects the owner to investigation and penalties for noncompliance. Anyone thinking of installing these systems should seriously consider the financial and legal ramifications and carefully read all the information on the website www.ReclaimOurWater.info.

Warmed by the words of love for a dog In response Leah Dunaief’s May 25 column “A farewell letter to a beautiful Golden Retriever”: Your wonderful tribute to Teddy brought tears to my eyes. I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss. His paw prints will always be in a special corner of your heart. We lost our beloved Golden, named Christian, in late 2006. He also was 12 years old. Like Teddy,

he was so special. He had to greet everyone and people would come up to him just to touch him and feel that special love that only a Golden Retriever can give. Like Teddy, Christian also loved the water. In Harborfront Park in Port Jefferson, there are five small trees along the road across from the Port Jefferson Village Center. It is the children’s park. Under the middle tree is a bronze plaque with

a Golden Retriever etched into it. Engraved are the words: “Christian Trigony, A Much Loved Golden Retriever.” We bought him the tree and plaque because we also knew his memory would never die. Thank you for sharing your love and your memories of Teddy, “a Much Loved Golden Retriever.”

Seeking shade and a book under a pecan tree

have hundreds of new friends I’ve never met, and a profound appreciation for the people who created them or shared their lives. I recently attended my first BookExpo at the Javits Center in New York City, where I was surrounded by booksellers, librarians, agents, book publishers and authors including Stephen King, James Patterson and John By Daniel Dunaief Grisham, with numerous budding luminaries in the mix. A highlight for me was a panel of children’s book authors, which included actress Isla Fisher, who has starred in movies including “Wedding Crashers” and “Definitely, Maybe.”

D. None of the above

While I was intrigued to see Ms. Fisher in person, the other authors owned the stage, as Fisher readily admitted that she wasn’t a writing peer to her fellow panelists. Jason Reynolds, an African-American writer for middle-grade and young adult novels, electrified the audience. He talked about how he used to visit his great Aunt Blanche in South Carolina, where the sun was so scorching it burned his neck. His aunt, who was 85, sat on her hot porch, smoking cigarettes and watching the children. Aunt Blanche planted a pecan tree — as he said, a “pea can” — when she was 4. The tree had become enormous by the time Reynolds was a child, providing shade for the younger crowd. Reynolds, a 2016 National Book Award Finalist for Young People’s Literature with “Ghost,” suggested that books offered the kind of shade he desperately needed, providing relief from the heat. Reynolds asked himself, “What if I get to be the pecan tree?”

Jennifer Weiner, meanwhile, has ventured from the world of adult fiction and “Good in Bed” to writing for a younger audience, which includes her recent book, “The Littlest Bigfoot.” Weiner said she does much of her writing in the equivalent of a large closet in her home, although she completed “half of a book waiting in a carpool line.” Dutch author Marieke Nijkamp shared some insights into her latest book “Before I Let Go,” which is about a girl named Corey who loses her best friend Kyra. Nijkamp, with fans waiting in a long line for the blue-haired author’s signature, said she “definitely goes for a walk right after I kill a character.” While circling the Javits Center exhibits, I bumped into Owen King. He is the son of acclaimed author Stephen King, and is promoting a book he wrote with his father called “Sleeping Beauties,” in which all the women but one in a small Appalachian town become wrapped in a cocoon when they

go to sleep. If someone awakens them, they become violent. That leaves the men without the civilizing and calming influence of women. It sounded to me like an adult version of William Golding’s classic “Lord of the Flies.” In describing the novel, Owen King said he enjoyed the time writing and editing the book with his father. He described how a King dinner time activity includes coming up with story ideas, many of which never see the light of day. I asked Owen, who was clad in an untucked plaid shirt and looks remarkably like his father, what caught his eye at the Expo. He highlighted a book by Steve Steinberg about a Yankees pitcher named Urban Shocker. King said he loved the name and found the story compelling, about a pitcher who went 18-6 in the Yankees’ famous 1927 season despite battling heart disease. I picked up a copy, which was autographed for my son, and I look forward to learning about Shocker’s world.
