Throne-Holst, Calone in virtual tie before absentee ballots By Phil Corso Polls closed Tuesday at 9 p.m. for the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District, but voters still have to wait to find out who will face freshman U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) come November. Setauket native David Calone trailed former Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst by 29 votes by the end of Tuesday, unofficial Suffolk County Board of Elections results showed, but neither candidate felt comfortable enough to speak definitively about the race. Unofficial results showed Throne-Holst with 5,446 votes — 50.09 percent of the vote — and Calone with 5,417 — 49.82 percent. Calone, a former prosecutor, venture capitalist, and North Shore native, said his campaign would be waiting for the nearly 1,700 absentee ballots to be counted in the coming week before making any further statements on his status in the primary race. “We did not have Wall Street fundraisers, and we did not have $720,000 of super PAC funding poured in for us in the last three weeks — but here we are in a virtual tie,” Calone said Wednesday.

Together, we knocked on thousands of doors, held nearly fifty house parties, and made tens of thousands of phone calls to voters in every corner of this district.” By the end of the primary campaign, Calone received several endorsements from various elected officials and community groups, including state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), Suffolk

County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station). Calone has experience working as director of six privately held companies throughout the country and has helped organize the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the U.S. House of Representatives, advocating federal policies that promote job creation through the development of startups and other small businesses.

role, he helped launch Startup Day Across America, an event to connect federal officials with earlystage companies in their regions. He also founded the Long Island Emerging Technologies Fund, which provides funding to six early-stage companies based on technology developed at Long Island’s research institutions. Throne-Holst, who received support from Zeldin’s predecessor, former U.S. Rep. Tim Bishop, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and longtime incumbent U.S. Rep.

Steve Israel (D-Huntington) — who Throne-Holst said was pivotal in convincing her to run — spoke with gravitas about her standing after all voting district tallies were in Tuesday night, excluding absentee votes. “We are waiting for all votes to be counted,” she said in a statement, “but are proud to have a lead at the end of election night. We are confident going forward that victory will be ours now … and in November.” Throne-Holst co-founded the Hayground School — an elementary school dedicated to supporting children with different learning needs. After serving as a councilwoman, she was the first Democrat to be elected supervisor in Southampton since 1993, overcoming a red-leaning electorate on the East End. Zeldin unseated the six-term Democrat Bishop by a wide margin back in 2014, with a final vote total of his 54 percent to 45 percent. Out in the more western 3rd Congressional District, former Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) bested four other candidates vying for the nomination to run for Israel’s seat after the longtime incumbent said he would not seek re-election earlier this year.

Spencer looks at tax on plastic bags for LI shoppers By Victoria Espinoza The plan to reduce the use of plastic bags in Suffolk County has been modified with a 5 cent tax on plastic bags replacing an original proposal for an all-out ban. County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) updated a bill he submitted in March to reduce the use of plastic bags in retail sales after he saw how other areas found success with a small tax. “My focus all along has been to improve the environment and reduce waste,” Spencer said in an email. “The decision to change course involved multiple factors, most importantly evidence from various municipalities with similar legislation that has proven to be effective.” The new version would charge 5 cents per bag used by any customer, and all fees collected would be retained by the store. There would be no fee for customers who bring in their own bags and a store cannot discourage them from doing so, the law proposed. A spokeswoman from Spencer’s office said the legislator looked to Washington, D.C., as an example of a successful implementation of a 5 cent fee. The Anacostia River Clean Up and Protection Act went into effect in January 2010, and it requires all businesses that sell food or alcohol to charge a nickel for each disposable paper or plastic carryout bag. The bill was the first of its kind in the United States, and in a 2013 study of the law, researchers found that both residents and businesses reported a significant re-

hold bag use, moving from 10 disposable bags per week before the law to four bags per week in 2013. Moreover, 79 percent of residents reported carrying reusable bags when shopping and 74 percent of businesses saw an increase in customers bringing their own bags. And, perhaps most impor-

tant for residents who are still wary of the tax, the study reported only 8 percent of businesses and 16 percent of residents felt bothered by the law. Spencer said this law is an important step in protecting the environment. “This is an opportunity to secure a win for the environment because it will form a consensus of necessary support among the legislature and key stakeholders,” he said. The Citizens Campaign for the Environment said there is more plastic in the oceans than plankton, with 46,000 pieces of plastic in every square mile. Many marine animals are choked and strangled by these bags, or die consuming them. The CCE said plastic pollution negatively impacts 267 species of marine life. Spencer said he intends to keep a close look on the progression of the bill, and that if a tax doesn’t reduce the use of plastic bags enough, he will reconsider an outright ban. “We are moving in a positive direction, and I intend to look closely at bag usage — before and after implementation — to ensure it’s effective,” he said. “If it is not having a significant impact, I have every intention of working to strengthen the policy including revisiting the ban.”

Moving up from the middle

Heading to third grade

Rocky Point Middle School celebrated the eighth-grade class during a moving up ceremony on June 23. With the help of eighth-grade choral members, the program commenced with the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner,” followed by an address by eighth-grade speaker Alexander Samuilov, who shared a reflection on his time in middle school and the hopes he has for the class’s future. Principal Scott O’Brien also reflected on his work with the students, as both their middle school and elementary school principal. He encouraged the students to always reach for their dreams and bestowed a few sage words of advice that had been submitted by the student’s parents. As a testament to their myriad accomplishments, students were presented with more than 20 academic and character awards, including the New York State Comptroller’s Achievement Award, the Triple “C” Award and the Presidential Outstanding Academic Achievement and Academic Excellence Award. Other departmental awards were also given to students. Before each moving up candidate was presented with their official promotion certificates, the school honored a four-legged

Surrounded by proud family and friends, Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School second-graders participated in a ceremonial moving up event this June. After a welcoming address from Principal Virginia Gibbons, the moving up day authors shared reflections on their time at FJC and hopes for what lies ahead in thirdgrade. The members of the second-grade service squad were also commended for the countless hours they dedicated throughout the year and several special awards were presented to select members. With the help of the Rocky Point Rotary Club members, each second-grader proudly proceeded to the front of the ceremony to receive their official moving up sash, certificate and complementary dictionary. The class then joined together in song to conclude the program.

Kindergarten students in Karen Nicholson’s class at Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School in Rocky Point recently brought several literary characters from a treasured children’s author to life when they presented the original play “Rooster Travels to the World of Eric Carle.” Characters such as the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear were among those

portrayed by the young actors during the show, which concluded an author study on Carle. The play was created by Nicholson and marks her ninth original creation. The show enabled the students to not only enhance their reading skills but also work to strengthen their public speaking, fluency and ability to read with emotion.

Obituary

clockwise from above, Jim and Katie Ford at Good shepherd Hospice when Katie received her promotion; Ford and his wife nancy at a family wedding; Ford in his fire department uniform; and Ford and his wife and their grandchildren colin and andy.

Jim Ford, always a gentleman By ErnEstinE Franco On June 15, at 12:57 p.m., Jim Ford’s Facebook post said, “The journey continues. I’m off to Good Shepherd Hospice later today.” Just three days after, Sound Beach lost one of its best and brightest lights. James Francis Ford was born in the Bronx on Dec. 3, 1947. He attended William Howard Taft High School and in 1967 he enlisted in the Air Force, where he was a mechanic and worked maintaining airplane while stationed in Charleston, South Carolina. Ford and his wife, Nancy, initially moved to Bayport. Again on Dec. 3, but in 1976, they moved to Sound Beach. In Bayport, Ford served in the fire department as lieutenant of the Hook and Ladder Company, so when his family moved to Sound Beach, it was only fitting he’d join the Sound Beach Fire Department. There he became a lieutenant and made his way up the ladder to attain the rank of captain of Engine Company 1, a position he was very proud to hold. Over the years he held many positions in the department, including lieutenant and captain of the Fire Police Squad, president of

the department for five years. He served on numerous committees, and was a life member of the department as well as president of the benevolent fund. For the past 10 years, Ford could no longer be a responding member of the department. “While in and out of hospitals,” his good friend and exChief Bob Pulick said, “being on the inactive list didn’t stop Jim from still being of service.” In fact, Pulick said, “he was single-handedly responsible for about 75 percent of all the funds the department received each year.” Ford’s commitment to the community was not only through the fire department. He was also very active in his church, St. Louis de Montfort R.C. Church in Sound Beach, where he was a Eucharistic minister and an usher. He also coordinated baptisms with his wife. A valued member of the Sound Beach Civ-

ic Association, Jim is remembered fondly by the Civic president Bea Ruberto. “In April, the Civic held a Vets Memorial lasagna dinner fundraiser.” Ruberto said. “Because of his health issues, Jim couldn’t eat the lasagna, but he bought a ticket, then brought his own dinner, because he wanted to show support for our vets.” What will be remembered by most people, though, is not just all that he did, but who he was. Patty Pulick, a lifelong friend, remembers meeting the couple nearly 40 years ago. “He had a great smile and laugh, and was al— Jane Bonner ways thinking of everyone else before himself, many times taking me to physical therapy whenever I needed a ride,” she said of Ford. “If I called their home wanting to speak to Nancy and Jim answered, he always said, ‘Hey you’ and I would laugh. He was a wonderful guy and I still can’t believe he is no longer with us.” The Pulicks and the Fords enjoyed a special bond as parents. Katie and Danny Ford and Kim Pulick came from the same adoption agency in Korea — Katie and Kim within days of each other. “I will miss our birthday lunches at such gourmet restaurants as Wendy’s, McDonald’s or George’s Kitchen,” Bob Pulick said. Ford was very proud of his daughter Katie, who was a member of the 106th Rescue Wing of the Air National Guard. When he was already at Good Shepherd, Air Force officers came to his bedside to officially promote his daughter, a veteran of two tours in Iraq, to technical sergeant. With that promotion, Katie now outranked her father, to which Ford answered, “If I could get out of bed, I would salute you.”

‘He was a warm, kind and funny person, with an upbeat attitude right to the end. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone.’

Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) also fondly remembers Ford. “I think I have one word that describes him,” Bonner said. “He was a gentleman. He was a warm, kind and funny person, with an upbeat attitude right to the end. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone.” Bonner said she will miss getting a hug from him, something he did every time they saw each other. Jim and Nancy Ford celebrated their 45th anniversary on May 22. Both very caring and loving people, they were well known for their humor. They had fun together. Nancy remembers her husband being called “the mayor of the fire department and the mayor of their block,” and Nancy said she now knows he is the “mayor in heaven.” Jim was the beloved husband of Nancy; loving father of Maureen Chorma (Timothy), Kathleen and Daniel; adored grandfather of Andrew and Colin; and dear brother of Michael Ford, Mary Walsh and Kenneth Ford. A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated at St. Louis de Montfort R.C. Church in Sound Beach. Internment followed in Calverton National Cemetery. Donations may be made in his name to Good Shepherd Hospice, Hope House Ministries or the Grumman Memorial Park.

Sky’s the limit for Gold Award scout By DESIRéE KEEGAn Skylar Intravaia was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at age 9, but never let her high-functioning form of autism hold her back. “A lot of that has to do with how we dealt with her diagnosis,” her mother Jenn Intravaia said. “We immediately brought her to the library to learn about her diagnosis. We told her she’s not broken — she’s just different. We told her she may have to learn things differently, or learn to do things differently, but that she can do anything she wants to do. That’s how we’ve approached everything. And she’s done fabulous.” So fabulously that she graduated from Rocky Point High School this past weekend, and also earned her Girl Scout Gold Award after completing 80 hours of volunteer service on a self-made project that makes a difference in the community. Skylar Intravaia’s project was fitting for the senior. She realized that there were more students at various points on the autism spectrum in her community than she first thought, and wanted to help kids the way she was helped, in learning to adjust to and deal with her diagnosis. “I know I had trouble socializing with other kids and making friends when I was younger, and as I got older, I was able to understand that better and I had many more friends,” she said. “Now I’m much more social, but a lot of kids on the autism spectrum don’t get that. I knew I wanted to do something.” What resulted was the creation of a recreation night. Letters were handed out to nearly 60 kids in the area, and those who wished to attend got together to hang out

Although running into some difficulties, as the North Shore Youth Council stopped letting her hold meetings there, she received help from the girls at CreativeZone in Rocky Point, who let her move the meetings there for free. “Despite some of the challenges along her journey, she was able to come up with some ways around those, and I’m very proud of her,” said Donna McCauley, one of Intravaia’s troop leaders and the service unit team registrar and Gold Award coordinator for Rocky Point. “I was really impressed with her ability to advocate for herself and problem solve along the way. I knew she was going to incorporate that into her project, because it needed to be something they’re passionate about. She’s very mature, reached out and asked for help, and I was really proud to see her accomplishments.” Following receiving her award, Intravaia said she had many unique opportunities, such as meeting Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), Suffolk County Legislature Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and opening NASDAQ. Anker said she was honored to have met someone so motivated. “I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Skylar for receiving her Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouts,” she said. “She’s amazing. Through her hard work and dedication, she has overcome

‘I just wanted to figure out something that would help everyone get through what I was facing, because I knew it was so hard for me to get those social skills.’ — Skylar Intravaia challenges in her life to help others and is a source of inspiration for her community.” Intravaia has benefited immensely from Girl Scouts. She’s been known to always help others, whether it be offering to fold laundry for the elderly, stopping to pick up items dropped by a passerby, or beautifying her community. “She’s been able to do anything she’s set her mind to,” Jenn Intravaia said. Her daughter will be attending St. Francis College, where she will live this fall,

and continue to help those around her. “She’s learned about community service, how to accept people, it’s been a wonderful experience,” Intravaia said. “She was able to speak to her classmates about what it’s like to have autism, and explained how her brain just operated differently. She started speaking at assemblies and started to become an advocate. I think part of that is because of Girl Scouts. She learned not to hide. She’s a very strong-willed girl. It’s allowed her to be successful.”

Local athletes earn Butch Dellecave awards Graduating high school seniors from the North Shore were honored at the 16th Annual Butch Dellecave awards dinner, held on June 12 at the West Lake Inn in Patchogue. Named in memory of the legendary educator, official and coach Gaetano “Butch” Dellecave, the award is the product of a highly successful 16-year partnership between local school districts in Suffolk County and the award organizers.

Athletic directors from all 66 Suffolk County school districts are asked to nominate one male and one female from their high school senior class for the award. Nominees must be students who are not only at the top of their game, but also score high in classroom performance and in their commitment to local community service. At Miller Place, Danielle Bambola and Ryan Ammirato were nominated. Bambola played on the varsity girls’ soccer and basketball teams. Starting as a goalkeeper on the soccer team all four years of high school, she made an average 161 saves, making 645 total in her career. Ammirato was on the Panthers’ football and wrestling teams. For Mount Sinai, Caroline Hoeg and Griffin McGrath were honored. Hoeg was a member of the Mustangs’ state championship-winning varsity girls’ lacrosse team in 2013, 2015 and 2016. McGrath played on the varsity football and lacrosse teams. As a member of the lacrosse team, he tallied 26 points his senior season, off 18 goals and eight assists. As a junior, he finished with 41 points off 27 goals and 14 assists.

Jillian LoManto and Harrison Lynch were honored from Rocky Point. LoManto, a member of the varsity girls’ lacrosse team, finished with 41 points as a result of 18 goals and 23 assists in her senior year. As a junior, she tallied 20 points off eight goals and 12 assists, and as a sophomore, ended the season with 30 points off 16 goals and 14 assists. Lynch, a member of the varsity boys’ basketball and football teams, was a standout who quarterbacked the football team and scored 348 points as a point guard, including 25 3-pointers, his senior season. At Shoreham-Wading River, Hailey Wehr and Jon Constant received the nomination. Wehr was a member of the varsity softball and volleyball teams. As a middle hitter, she helped the team punch its ticket to the playoffs this past season, for the first time for any of its players. She was on varsity all four years of high school. Constant was a standout on the Wildcats’ varsity football and boys’ lacrosse teams. The football team won the Long Island championship title his junior and senior year, when the team went undefeated both seasons. The lacrosse team won the LIC this year.

Black sea bass fishing season to start earlier By Victoria Espinoza Black sea bass is back on the table, as of June 27. After public outcry for an earlier start to summer sea bass fishing, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced this week the season will start 19 days earlier than the previous July start date. The DEC has blamed federal regulations and management for the reasons behind originally closing the fishing season during June, despite plentiful numbers of bass. “In spite of abundant populations, DEC is being forced to alter the commercial and recreational fishing seasons in order to meet federal quotas,” Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos said in a statement. “By allowing for an earlier June opening, we’re trying to strike the best possible arrangement for the recreational fishing community.” U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for modifications to the summer fishing period last week at an event on the North Shore, speaking against what he called “inflexible” and “outdated” federal regulations for black sea bass fishing.

And Long Island fishermen said the July start date was hurting their livelihood. “It’s a disaster for conservation and the economy,” said James Schneider, a boat captain in Huntington. “It’s crushed us.” Schneider is catching other fish since the last black sea bass season ended on May 31 and said he has been forced to throw back the bass he inadvertently catches. Those die shortly after, he said, further contributing to a loss in potential profits. Some fishers were also upset that Connecticut’s black sea bass season, which opened on May 1 and runs through Dec. 31, allowed fishermen to start earlier than in New York, as they share a body of water in the Long Island Sound. Sean Mahar, the DEC director of communications, last week acknowledged fishing got off to a slow start in New York. Through May 21, only one-third of the May quota had been harvested, “with approximately 42,000 pounds [still] available on May 21,” Mahar said in an email. “However, the harvest rate increased dramatically the last week in May,” and the DEC had to receive more population data before deciding to open the summer fishing season earlier than July. Although fishermen like Schneider can now get back to bass fishing earlier, the DEC has also increased the minimum size of the bottom feeders caught by 1 inch — making the new minimum length 15 inches — and reduced the daily possession limit from eight fish to three. However, that latter change will only affect the fishing season through August, so fishermen can have up to eight in September and October, and 10 in November and December. According to the DEC, it also considered a July 8 opening with a five-fish limit, but anglers opted for the earlier start with a three-fish limit for a longer season. The DEC also said the federal government’s population assessment of sea bass has caused scientists to “exercise extreme caution when determining harvest limits,”

U.s. sen. chuck schumer speaks at an event at northport Harbor discussing the changes in fishing regulations, in waters like the harbor, on left. which has forced New York to reduce sea bass harvest despite an “abundance of fish.” The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is one of three organizations that jointly manage black sea bass fishing, by determining the quota for sea bass each year. The quota this year was set at about 189,000 pounds. Kirby Rootes-Murdy, that commission’s senior fishery management plan coordinator, said obtaining accurate population data on

black sea bass poses a challenge because black sea bass are a hermaphroditic species, meaning they change sex from male to female. “The reproductive life history characteristics … of black sea bass make it difficult to develop an accurate abundance estimate, ultimately limiting the ability to develop reliable catch limits,” he said in an email. “Assessment scientists are working hard to develop models to address these issues facing black sea bass management.”

Fishers can now catch black sea bass in June, but the minimum fish length has increased an inch and the number they can catch is limited for the first month.

Hi, my name is Dinah. I am a Bull terrier mix. I am about 5 and weigh approximately 60 lbs. I was abandoned on the street and brought to the pound. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here 4 years. I love to play and I love to work out. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be great for an active family with dog experience. I could use some leash work. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ok with some male dogs...Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little picky so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to meet them first. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also pretty independent but again..show me that you love me and I will show you that I love you. See all our pets at www.smithtownanimalshelter.petfinder.org

R E A L E S TAT E Architecture Guide HOME FEATURES: arches, columns, dormers, roofs, windows, classic molding RESIDENTIAL STYLES: Art Deco – Homes built in this style feature geometric elements and a vertically oriented design. California Bungalow – A forerunner of the Craftsman style, California Bungalows offer rustic exteriors, sheltered-feeling interiors, and spacious front porches. Cape Cod – A true classic, Cape Cod homes – square or rectangular one-story structures with gabled roofs and unornamented fronts – were among America’s first houses. Colonial – An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, Colonial homes feature a rectangular, symmetric design, second-floor bedrooms, clapboard siding, and gabled roofs. Contemporary – Unmistakably modern in feel, Contemporary style homes are identifiable by their odd-sized windows, lack of ornamentation, and unusual mix of wall materials. Craftsman – Full or partial-width porches framed by tapered columns, overhanging eaves, and exposed roof rafters differentiate a Craftsman home from the similar California Bungalow. Creole – A front wall that recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony highlights the Creole Cottage design. Dutch Colonial – German, or “Deutsch”, settlers in Pennsylvania originated the Dutch Colonial style, dominated by a barn-like broad gambrel roof with flaring eaves.

Federal – This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek Roman culture, as its classical ornamentation around cornices, doors, and windows demonstrates. French Provincial – Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which includes a steep hip roof; balcony and porch balustrades; and rectangular doors set in arched openings. Georgian – Refined and symmetrical with paired chimneys and a decorative crown, Georgian houses were named after English royalty. Gothic Revival – English romanticism influenced this style marked by “Gothic” windows with pointed arches; exposed framing timbers; and steep, vaulted roofs. Greek Revival – Large porches, entryway columns, and a front door surrounded by narrow rectangular windows characterize Greek Revival homes. International – The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts, ground-to-ceiling plate glass windows, and smooth facades. Italianate – Symmetrical bay windows in front; small chimneys set in irregular locations; tall, narrow, windows; and in some cases towers, typify Italianate houses. Monterey – The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an adobe brick exterior and a second floor with a balcony. National – Rooted in Native American and pre-railroad dwellings, the National style consists of a rectangular shape with sidegabled roofs or square layouts with pyramidal roofs.

Neoclassical – Recognize Neoclassical homes, which exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses, by their Ionic or Corinthian-columned porches. Prairie – Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style house comes in two styles--boxy and symmetrical or low-slung and asymmetrical. Pueblo – Flat roofs, parapet walls with round edges, straight-edge window frames, earth-colored stucco or adobe-brick walls, and projecting roof beams typify Pueblos. Queen Anne – Emerging in the late Victorian era, the style employs inventive, multistory floor plans that often include projecting wings, several porches and balconies, and multiple chimneys with decorative chimney pots. Ranch – Similar to the Spanish Colonial, Prairie, and Craftsman styles, Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, wood or brick exterior walls, siding, and picture windows. Regency – Although they borrow from the Georgian’s classic lines, Regency homes eschew ornamentation. They’re symmetrical, two or three stories, and usually built in brick. Typically, they feature an octagonal window over the front door, one chimney at the side of the house, double-hung windows, and a hip roof. Saltbox – This New England Colonial style gained the Saltbox nickname because its sharply sloping gable roof resembled boxes used for storing salt. Second Empire – A Victorian style, Second Empire homes feature mansard roofs with dormer windows, molded cornices, and dec-

orative brackets under the eaves. Shed – A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with multiple roofs sloping in different directions, which creates several geometric shapes. Shingle – An American style that echoes the Queen Anne, Shingle style is distinguished by unadorned doors, windows, porches, and cornices; continuous wood shingles; a steeply pitched roof line; and large porches. Shotgun – Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door of this long, narrow home. The style is characterized by a single story with a gabled roof. Spanish Eclectic – Taking its cues from early Spanish missions, Spanish Eclectic then adds a dash of details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles. Split Level – A Modern style, Split Level design sequesters certain living activities, such as sleeping or socializing. Stick – Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards characterize Stick houses, which are members of the Victorian family. Tudor – Half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more steeply pitched cross gables typify Tudor homes. Victorian – Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture often incorporated decorative details such as brackets, spindles and patterned shingles.

From Mount Sinai to Orlando, the issue of access to guns is a hot topic. Above, police uncovered this arsenal of weapons from a North Shore home earlier this month.

North Country Peace Group dishes on gun legislation

Stock photo

Consumers are being encouraged to bring reusable bags to the grocery store instead of plastic bags by one Suffolk County legislator.

In the bag Plastic bags have replaced tumbleweeds as the de-facto street debris blowing across town, but the two have very different affects on our environment. Environmental groups from all over the country talk about the consequences of plastic bags polluting our waterways and killing our marine life. Marine animals choke on these bags and try ingesting them, which often leads to death. One North Shore legislator is working on reducing the amount of plastic bags we use by imposing a 5 cent tax on every bag. County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) first tried to introduce an outright ban on plastic bags in stores earlier this year, but has since amended the bill to put a tax on the bags instead. We support Spencer’s resolution to tax the bags, and think the Legislature should act quickly to put it in place. Organic and green labels have become trendier over the past few years, but not where it actually counts. A measure like this could impact the environment that we so often take for granted. We’re always careful when it comes to trusting government to make personal decisions for its citizens — in this case, which bags to use while shopping — but we have also been historically supportive of governmental measures that aim to conserve, improve or save the environment. This is a case where we believe the government should get more involved in our lives and regulate what materials we are using because of the tremendous impact it could have on our environment and the animals that inhabit it. Other places, including Washington D.C., have already reported a significant reduction in the use of plastic bags through new tax laws. We think Suffolk County should join in on this success for the environment’s sake.

Dear U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin: We are members of the North Country Peace Group. We are a diverse group that includes a broad spectrum of occupations, including educators, health care professionals, and students. We have been demonstrating for peace and justice weekly on the corner of 25A and Bennetts Road in Setauket since the autumn of 2002. We have actively been seeking resolution to problems regarding war and peace, economic fairness, health care, the environment, and other matters in meetings and public demonstrations. We are very concerned about the increasing violence and human, cultural, and physical destruction that is evident globally. We are appalled at the recent tragedies stemming from gun violence and the failure of Congress to find common ground as these events have continued to escalate in scale and frequency. This inaction has led us to focus on this continuing and pervasive series of tragedies. We in the United States now experience a mass shooting on average every two months, 92 deaths from firearms every day, and more deaths from guns than from AIDS, drugs, wars,

and terrorism combined. In the United States and the world, there is a clear correlation between increased gun deaths and increased frequency of gun ownership. In point of fact, we in the United States suffer the highest per capita rate of gun deaths of all the developed countries. Still Congress has failed to act. This despite the fact that the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of NRA members, support gun control legislation. The Washington Post cited the following in October, 2015: “Surveys by Johns Hopkins and the Pew Research Center show that about 85 percent of gun owners favor universal background checks, an idea fiercely opposed by the gun lobby. Gun owners also strongly support a federal database of gun sales, prohibiting ownership for those convicted of domestic violence and barring people with mental illness from buying guns.” A Pew Research poll this year found the following: “Americans have shown broad and consistent support for expanded background checks for gun purchasers. In July, 85 percent of the public – including large majorities of both Republicans (79 percent) and

Democrats (88 percent) – favored making private gun sales and sales at gun shows subject to background checks. There also was substantial bipartisan support for laws to prevent people with mental illness from purchasing guns.” We respectfully request that, for the sake of humanity and the lives of our citizenry, and in view of the vast majority support in the country for gun control legislation, including a majority of NRA members, that you declare your support for legislation in support of a ban on the sale, possession, and manufacture of semi-automatic firearms that have a magazine with a capacity for more than five bullets; and legally required universal background check for purchase of firearms. Immediate action is required and long overdue. We believe that any elected official who does not support, at a minimum, the above two legislative acts is shirking her/his duty and does not deserve to hold elected office. We sincerely hope you can rise to the challenge to do what is best for the country.

John C. Robinson, M.D. North Country Peace Group Setauket

Town received no plans for solar facility in Shoreham Brookhaven Town has not received any official plans from National Grid and NextEra to construct a 72 megawatt solar farm on 350 wooded acres in Shoreham adjacent to the decommissioned nuclear power plant. However, if and when those plans are submitted, they will be dead on arrival. Solar-generating production facilities are only permitted in

the L-1 and L-2 industrial zoning districts. The vast majority of the property where this facility appears to be situated is zoned residential, with a restriction of one house per every 10 acres. Solar production facilities are not an allowable use in this zoning district. While I am a strong advocate for renewable energy to replace fossil fuels, we cannot trade

“green for green.” Projects such as this should seek locations that are properly zoned and do not impact our environment by requiring the clearing of such a large number of trees. In fact, I have written to the LIPA board of trustees requesting that they reject this proposal.

opinion Blowing off steam

e all have them and we can laugh about them — later. In the moment, they are the shortening fuse that converts us from rational people capable of responding to any challenges into people who can’t control the frustration boiling inside us. Recently, I visited with a friend who couldn’t get through a security gate on the way to a party. She had to wait as several people working at a gated community discussed By Daniel Dunaief whether to admit the car in front of her. My friend is a brilliant person who is capable of erudite speeches, has keen insights and is informed about a wide range of subjects. She is among the most charming people in a room

D. None of the above

— most of the time. Sitting in a line that came to a complete standstill, however, she “lost it.” She walked up to the glass partition, shouted at the security guards and demanded that they let her enter a party that would last for hours. Even in the moment, she says, she could see herself saying things out of intense frustration, but she couldn’t regain control. Those raw and exposed moments can be — and often are — the subjects of YouTube videos, as people around the action whip out their phones to chronicle someone who reached the point of no return in his or her actions. From what I understand, our fuses get shorter during the summer months. It’s an ironic time for us to become so irate, when we dial back the pressure and take trips to our national parks, to Niagara Falls, or to a college or high school reunion. Maybe the heat shortens the fuse or speeds up the travel from when the fuse is lit to when it triggers us to react in a way we would just as soon avoid?

To some degree we need moments to blow off steam, to let it go and to release the toxins that have built up in us over the preceding days, weeks, months or, in some cases, years. Letting go of the control we maintain over ourselves through all the hundreds or thousands of nuisances and annoyances can cleanse us and restore our equanimity in a way that yoga classes, deep-breathing exercises or a repetition of a mantra like “serenity now” doesn’t quite cover. To be clear, I’m not talking about those moments when someone commits some grievous act but, rather, the times when those of us with considerable calm suddenly throw spirited temper tantrums that are visual or verbal displays, without injuries to anyone other than our pride. In those contained but still surprising displays, is it possible to stop the reaction before we start flapping our arms, jumping up and down, banging on glass doors, or unintentionally releasing saliva when we make our anger-laden point about the inconvenience someone is causing?

Generally, I’ve found that a lit fuse finds its mark, no matter how many James Bond movies I’ve seen where he stops a detonation with 007 seconds left. So, who lights our fuses? I think it’s people on either extreme: those we know incredibly well, who have a talent for throwing darts at our anger bull’s-eye; and those people we may interact with only once, whose commitment to a process keeps us from accomplishing some task. Then again, no one can light our fuse if we didn’t let them. We bear responsibility for a lit fuse because we ultimately sit in the control rooms of our brains, like those characters in the animated movie “Inside Out.” So, when the red guy in our brains takes over and he starts stomping our feet and demands that the car in front of us should “go, go, go,” what’s the solution? Maybe if we anticipate laughing afterward, we can short-circuit that red guy and neither laugh at him nor with him, but laugh about what he might have done.

No picnic for Teddy on July Fourth

s Independence Day approaches, Teddy becomes more anxious. Teddy is our 11-year-old golden retriever, and he still has not come to terms with the noises of the holiday in particular and summer in general. We can feel his distress. For no apparent reason he begins to breathe more heavily. He doesn’t remain in his guardian position near the front door of the house throughout the By Leah S. Dunaief night but seeks to sleep in one of our bedrooms alongside the bed. During the night he will get up and push against the mattress, tossing his head as if seeking comfort in the form of a few reassuring pats. This happens repeatedly throughout the remaining hours of sleep.

Between you and me

Clearly that doesn’t go over too well with whichever one of us he has awakened. But just try shutting the bedroom door to keep him out, and he will go into another routine. He knocks with his paw, his nails tapping against the wood. When that gets no response, he throws his body against the door two or three times. If admission isn’t granted, he begins to cry, loudly and piteously. At that point Teddy wins. While we have been aware of his unease, it was not until we read an article about “noise anxiety” in dogs that we actually understood this behavior was part of a seasonal syndrome and not just the expected reaction to the firecrackers going off on July Fourth. Think about it. With the advent of more beautiful weather, we humans get outside more and do things like mow the lawn, blow the leaves, drive back and forth frequently, and play outdoor games like baseball or even catch amid screams and laughter. Air conditioners switch on and off and summer storms with rolling thunder and crackling lightning

come and go. With the far-more-acute hearing of dogs, is it any wonder that such bursts of sound can send them into panic? They can hear far beyond what we can hear, so the volume of what to us is a deafening storm must be like a rock concert on steroids to their ears. This excites their norepinephrine, the brain chemical that triggers a fear response, and they sometimes do frantic things to try and escape what they perceive to be great danger. They may become agitated hours before a storm arrives, and they may continue to shake for hours after the offending storm leaves. No wonder their nervous systems cannot easily calm back down. A few comforting pats in the night just doesn’t do it for them. There is a new medicine, as reported by The New York Times,

which is the first drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to counter what is now officially termed “canine noise aversion.” It is called Sileo, distributed by Zoetis, and it works by inhibiting the effects of norepinephrine. I don’t know how you feel about administering medicine, but I prefer the loving, comforting approach so far. There is one room in our house that is quieter than the rest because of its location, and I might take Teddy there and sit with him as I read, if all else fails. There is even a cot in that room. That seems to work — for him and for me. But depending on the severity of the dog’s discomfort, medicine may be required. Meanwhile there is a movie coming called, “The Secret Life of Pets.” For those of us who enjoy animals and even tend to treat them like humans, the trailer looks amusing, so I recommend the film. Happy Fourth!

Whereas:

The Village Times began 40 years ago, with the goal of serving the community according to the highest ideals of a free press. Implicit in that idea was that they would, in at least in their small corner of the world make a difference; that they would help make the world a tiny bit better for having been here; and

Whereas:

Unquestionably, throughout these many years, the Times Beacon Record Newspapers have met this goal, serving the community well–and their longevity, success, growth, circulation, as well as multiple awards and recognitions are truly illustrative of this fact We congratulate them on achieving this significant milestone, and wish them many more years of success.

Now, Therefore, I, Edward

P. Romaine, Supervisor of the Town of Brookhaven and the members of the Town Council, on behalf of Brookhaven’s 500,000 residents do hereby take great pride onthis 19th day of May, 2016, in proclaiming today as
