Shoreham man killed in motorcycle crash in Greenport

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A Shoreham man was killed this past Sunday after his motorcycle was involved in a crash with a car, Southold Town police said. Jon Meeker was traveling eastbound on Route 25 driving a 2001 Suzuki motorcycle and attempted to pass a 2015 Jeep Cherokee on the right as it made a right turn onto Bailey Avenue in Greenport shortly after 8 p.m., according to police. Meeker was then thrown from his motorcycle and collided with a utility pole. The Shoreham man was transported to Eastern Long Island Hospital by members of the Greenport Fire Department where he later succumbed to his injuries. Jennifer Feldstein of New York, the driver of the Jeep Cherokee, was not injured along with two other passengers in the car. Both vehicles were impounded for safety checks. A GoFundMe page was set up on July 1 to provide contributions to the Meeker family. “Jon worked three jobs to support his family,

but the responsibility of two children in college, a daughter with a medical condition and funeral costs have overwhelmed the family financially,” the page reads. “Nothing was more important to Jon than his family. Any contributions will go directly to the family to address their most immediate needs during this difficult time.” Within a day, over 250 people have raised upward of $26,000 of the $75,000 goal. The father of three is survived by his wife, Kimberly, who works in the Shoreham-Wading River school district; son, Jake, who graduated from SWR High School this past week; and daughters Makayla and Ella. Shoreham has been host to several tragedies over the past few years. Only recently 18-yearold Melissa Marchese, who was set to graduate from SWR, died in a car crash at the corner of Route 25A and Miller Avenue. The school district wore yellow ribbons and released doves in her honor at the commencement ceremony June 28. For those looking to donate to the GoFundMe page, visit www.gofundme.com/f/in-lovingmemory-of-jon-meeker.

Stony Brook doctors perform eyelid surgery for man from Galapagos BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM For one Ecuadorian native, attending a lecture by Stony Brook Medicine doctors changed his life. Galo Del Hierro, 44, who works for the Charles Darwin Foundation in the Galapagos, was attending a lecture given by the Stony Brook Medicine team about skin cancer screenings and prevention in the archipelago. After the lecture, Del Hierro approached Alexander Dagum, a reconstructive plastic surgeon at Stony Brook, and showed him a lesion he had on his right eyelid that was not going away and had grown bigger in the last couple of years. “He came up to me and said, ‘I’ve had this spot that has gotten larger for some time,’” Dagum said. “I looked at it and thought it was pretty suspicious and told him he should see one of our dermatologists.” The team’s trip in March was part of a mission through Blanca’s House, a Long Island nonprofit organization that works to bring muchneeded, quality medical care to countries and communities throughout Latin America. The seven-person team from Stony Brook planned

on providing screenings and other care for the local community. As they further examined Del Hierro, they realized they might have to bring him 3,051 miles away to Stony Brook for care. Dr. Daniel Lozeau, a dermatologist and clinical assistant professor at Stony Brook Medicine, took a look at Del Hierro’s lesion and determined that they needed to do a biopsy. After testing was done, Del Hierro was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma. Lozeau said given the location of the melanoma it would make it difficult to remove. “On the eyelid you have less room to work with,” he said. “It not like when it’s on someone’s back, where we have a lot more real estate [to work with].” Dagum said if people in the Galapagos had anything serious, they would have to go over to the mainland in Ecuador, which is quite far. Initially, he tried to find a doctor on the mainland to perform the surgery for Del Hierro instead of bringing him to Stony Brook as it was more convenient for Del Hierro, but he couldn’t find anyone that could do it.

Stony Brook Medicine announces partnership with Eastern Long Island Hospital BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM On July 1, Stony Brook Medicine announced the newest member of the Stony Brook University Hospital health care system — Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport. The 90-bed, acute care hospital has been affiliated with Stony Brook since 2006, and in 2015, talks began between the two hospitals to form a partnership. The Greenport campus will now be referred to as Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital.

Dr. Kenneth Kaushansky, senior vice president of health sciences and dean of the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, said the partnership will allow SBELIH to work collaboratively with Stony Brook University Hospital and Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, which joined the health care system in 2017. While Stony Brook Medicine takes on the responsibility of operating the campus when it comes to things such as finances and quality responsibility, Kaushansky said the health care system doesn’t own the other hospitals but leases the buildings from

the owners, and staff members are not state employees and continue with the same salaries and unions as before. He said the partnership with Southampton has been a successful one, and the same is expected with SBELIH. “This really has been a win-win for both the hospital and for the people on the South Fork so let’s do it on the North Fork,” Kaushansky said. Stony Brook also has its eyes on Long Island Community Hospital in East Patchogue, which Kaushansky said they are in talks with, to see if it makes sense to create a similar affiliation with the facility.

Lozeau said the cancer Del Hierro had is aggressive, and he could have lost his eye and his life. Dagum then got clearance to perform the surgery as a teaching case at Stony Brook Medicine and with help from the Darwin Foundation and Blanca’s House, Del Hierro was able to come to Stony Brook for the surgery in May. The Stony Brook plastic surgeon said the procedure takes several days and requires using skin grafts to reconstruct and support the lower eyelid. “It was important they we got [the melanoma] out as quickly as possible,” Dagum said. Dagum and colleagues removed the lesion in full around his eyelids, and reconstructed skin around the eyelid so Del Hierro could see properly and blink normally. He had a second procedure to adjust the eyelid. The Ecuadorian native said through a translator that he was grateful and impressed with the care he received at Stony Brook. Del Hierro said that he had first noticed the spot on his eyelid when he was 18 years old. “It was a tiny little dot, and I didn’t really think much of it, I thought it was just a mole,” he said. He admitted when he first got his diagnosis, he was worried for himself and his family, but trusted Dagum and the team. With the procedures complete, Dagum said they are waiting for the swelling to go down and everything should settle in and heal up in the next couple of months. Dagum expects Del Hierro to live normally; however, he recommends he should continue to get screened and have the eyelid area examined periodically. Del Hierro’s case and the team’s experiences bring to light the importance of skin cancer screening and skin protection, especially during the summer season. Lozeau said the Academy of Dermatology recommends sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. “Most important thing is to constantly re-apply frequently every couple of hours,” he said. “Hats are good to wear and make sure you have eye protection.” The dermatologist said when it comes to skin cancer, if one notices a spot that hasn’t gone away or has grown in size, he or she should get it checked out. Also, he mentioned spots that constantly bleed or scab over. “Galo was really fortunate. He was at the right place at the right time,” Lozeau said.

Letters to the Editor

Congress should reauthorize 9/11 fund

Congratulations 2019 high school graduates!

We congratulate each and every one the 2019 high school graduates in our circulation area. These students were born 18 years ago, at a time when planes deliberately took down the World Trade Center in New York City and crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a hillside in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. At around the time these children turned 8 years old, the U.S. and world economy collapsed after the financial industry bundled and sold bad mortgage debt. Currently, the nation and countries of the world are coping with election systems troubled with interference from foreign adversaries, whose interests are likely to make people question the efficacy of democracy as a form of governance. As we look forward, and put the past behind us, let’s make sure we take time to remind these graduates of the greater good of humankind. We should also celebrate the good nature within themselves to reassure these young adults that the future is perpetually full of hope and opportunity. Over the last several decades despite the tragedies we have also seen many remarkable achievements. A nation elected its first black president, and we’ve seen women march for their rights and run and be elected to public office at historic rates. Aside from politics, over the last 20 years, scientists have sequenced human DNA, which is helping to develop effective treatments for cancer and other potentially deadly diseases. We’ve also watched the world change as the home computer and telecommunication turned mobile. Consequently, it’s become easier than ever to stay in touch. With the touch of a finger, we can access and enjoy the music, stories and performances of a world full of talented artists, writers and filmmakers. Adversity and tumultuous times somehow, thankfully, spark creativity and inspire people’s inner goodness. Think of the ’60s, and how that peace and love-conquers-all theme galvanized a culture. It’s an age-old message, really, of biblical proportion. High school graduates should know that as caring human beings they already hold the core qualities they need to thrive.

Almost 18 years ago, our nation experienced the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil in the history of our nation, and these many years later, it’s not over. On Sept. 11, 2001, and in its wake, there were countless heroes who stepped up to the plate without a moment’s hesitation when our country needed them most. In the face of unconscionable evil, they were the ones who ran in when everyone ran out, who worked 12-hour shifts on the pile for months returning victims to their families, and who refused to bow in the face of fear and helped hold our country together. In 2011, to help these heroes, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was signed into law, and five years later the Zadroga Act was permanently reauthorized and included $4.6 billion for the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. The VCF was established to provide compensation for the victims of 9/11 and their families while continuing to provide compensation for those suffering from

9/11-related illnesses and their loved ones. However, in February, the special master of the fund issued an alarming report, which stated its funding was insufficient to compensate all claims and the fund would have to make up to 70 percent cuts across the board. I can vividly recall in years past how so many first responders who had fallen ill were forced to come to our nation’s capital to beg for the benefits they rightfully earned. Now, here we are again, not even four years later with sick and dying 9/11 first responders being forced to travel to Washington, D.C., to beg for the benefits that they have been promised. One of those heroes was Lou Alvarez, a 9/11 first responder, Long Islander and American patriot. In 2016, just like so many other 9/11 first responders, Lou was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, one of the thousands of cancers now attributed to the inhalation of the toxic air and debris at Ground Zero.

Just two weeks ago, Lou gave the most inspiring speech before the House Judiciary Committee and, immediately afterward, he rushed home for his 69th round of chemo. Unfortunately, when he got home, things didn’t go as expected. Lou went into hospice vowing to continue fighting until the very end so that other 9/11 first responders don’t have to. He said, “Still here. Still breathing. Still fighting.” Lou is an American hero, but his spirit and grit is representative of the thousands of 9/11 first responders who have fallen ill. For them and for our nation, Congress needs to do its job and pass H.R.1327, the Never Forget the Heroes Act, which would fully fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. In the aftermath of 9/11, we vowed we’d never forget. Now we must make sure of it. Lee Zeldin U.S. Congressional Rep. District 1 Shirley

Clean water position questioned In a recent article published by TBR Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) is quoted as stating, “When it comes to our communities’ drinking water there is no room for error.” Unfortunately, Zeldin’s concern for clean drinking water is as phony as a three-dollar bill. Zeldin never misses an opportunity to talk big about cleaning up the environment. When it comes to action though, it’s a completely different matter. The day before this article appeared, he voted to cut federal spending on water infrastructure by 5 percent across the board (Burgess Amendment to HR 2470). He was the only member of the NY congressional delegation, Democrat or Republican, to vote for this extreme cut. He puts on quite a charade, demanding the EPA set stricter maximum contaminant levels for our drinking water. Does

he really think an EPA headed by coal company lobbyist Andrew Wheeler cares? The same Andrew Wheeler rolled back EPA standards for the storage of coal ash, one of the most potent sources of deadly water contamination in the U.S. Zeldin is the ultimate NIMBY congressman. While loudly demanding that something get done to clean up our water, he’s voted against clean water across the USA every chance he gets. His votes just last month include votes to allow oil wells in water conservation areas in the Everglades; to allow the notorious Bristol Bay open-pit copper mine to go forward, dumping 6.8 billion gallons of wastewater a year into a pristine wilderness; and against federal funding to repair drinking water filtration systems, sewer facilities, and wastewater treatment plants in an American territory hit by a typhoon.

When Flint, Michigan, was contending with lead-contaminated water, Zeldin voted against federal funding to assist repairing or replacing its water infrastructure, even as 101 other Republicans voted for it. He’s voted against the federal Clean Water Rule multiple times. Does he think Long Island will get much sympathy or federal support to fix its water-contaminant issues when its representative votes against clean water and water infrastructure every chance he gets? Does he think this is a good way to get federal help? Does he think this gives him credibility on the issue? Maybe he thinks we should just build a water-filled moat around the 1st Congressional District and pretend that what’s happening beyond it doesn’t make any difference. David Friedman St. James

Opinion

Getting behind the wheel of our decisions

W

e make them before we even get up. We lie in our beds, staring at our alarm clocks, where we are faced with the first of countless decisions. Should we get up now or can we afford to wait a few minutes before climbing out of bed? Decisions range from the mundane to the mind blowing: Do you want pickles, lettuce and tomatoes and what kind of bread D. None would you like; of the above you’re taking a pay BY DANIEL DUNAIEF cut so you can do what job exactly; are you sure you

want to sell that stock today when it may be worth more tomorrow? We rarely take a step back from the decision-making process because we generally don’t want to slow our lives down, leaving us less time to make other decisions. Some of the decisions we make are through a force of habit. We buy the same ketchup, take the same route to work, wear the same tie with the same shirt or call the same person when we are feeling lonely. Just because we have always done something one particular way, however, doesn’t mean we made the best choice, or that we considered how the variables in our lives have changed over time. As we age, we find that our needs, tastes and preferences evolve. Our bodies may have a lower caloric demand, especially if we spend hours behind a desk. We might also be more prepared to debate or argue with our priest or rabbi, or we might

have a greater need to help strangers or make the world a better place for the next generation. The way we make decisions today may be inconsistent with the way we made them for the younger versions of ourselves. We may have some of the same tastes for movies or books that we had 20 years ago. Then again, we may place a higher value on experiences than we do on possessions. Eating a particular food, calling a person who makes us feel inadequate or sticking with the same assignments or jobs is often not the best way to live or enjoy our lives. Inertia affects the way we decide on anything from whether to vote Democratic or Republican to whether we would like pasta or salad for lunch. Sure, I could defy the old me. But then am I remaking a decision or remaking myself? Ah, but there’s the real opportunity: We can follow the Latin phrase “carpe diem” — seize the day — and redefine and reinvent ourselves

as long as we do it with purpose and focus. Sure, that takes work and planning and we might change something for the worse, but maybe we would make our lives better or leave our comfort zone for greater opportunities. We can decide to take calculated risks with our lives or to move in a new direction. After all, we teach our children to believe in themselves. And if we want to practice what we preach, we should believe in ourselves, too, even on a new path. Why should we put our lives on automatic pilot and sit in the back seat, making the same circles month after month and year after year? Some routines and decisions, of course, are optimal, so changing them just to change won’t likely improve our lives. But for many decisions, we can and should consider climbing back into the driver’s seat. For a moment, we might cause our paths to rock back and forth, as if we shook the wheel, but ultimately we can and will discover new terrain.

the number has increased by 3 to 5 percent in the last five years. Rosanna Hertz, a Wellesley College professor, who wrote the book, “Single by Chance, Mothers by Choice: How Women are Choosing Parenthood Without Marriage and Creating the New American Family” (2006), has found that most of those mothers are college educated and earn roughly double the national household median of $110,000. But with rising salaries, not all single mothers are high-wage earners. Some have middle-class backgrounds and may even have more than one child. What’s puzzling about this picture? Are we witnessing men being thrown away? I pray not. To paraphrase “South Pacific,” there is nothing like a man. It’s understandable that single mothers may be single because they never found the right person to marry. Or they may be divorced or separated. Or widowed. Or they may have chosen not to marry. All of those reasons have to do with themselves. But according to Hertz, “there has been a notable increase in the number of women opting for this family structure in the 13 years” since she wrote her book. Since it

takes both sexes to make a child, does a woman in good conscience have the right to knowingly deprive a child of a father because of an overwhelming maternal desire? Is it selfish or unselfish to procreate without a mate? Does boundless and unconditional love compensate? There is a support group that deals with such issues. Called Single Mothers by Choice, it considers the emotional, financial, psychological and practical aspects of becoming a single mother. It also provides others in the same situation to talk with. To choose single motherhood is a hard and, incidentally, an expensive route. That was the thrust of the WSJ article. Right from the first step, there is no one with whom to share costs. Initial costs can range from several thousand dollars to six figures, and insurance is spotty. It is certainly true that life does not always work out the way one would like. In fact, it almost never does. Too many bends to see around, too many roads not taken, too many disappointments. But I would just like to add a last thought from “The King and I”: Most men “can be wonderful.”

In defense of men

M

y parents married on July 4, 1925. It might seem counterintuitive for them to join each other on Independence Day, but back then to marry meant independence from one’s nuclear family. They were now off on their own, together ready to start a new branch of the family. And they began to have children. They were doing what had been done for only a few centuries before them, marriage being a fairly recent construct in humankind’s history. Given statistics today, almost a Between century later, what you and me they did seems almost quaint. BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF Tucked into the back pages of The Wall Street Journal’s Business & Finance section, amid such stories about carmaker Tesla’s

quarterly earnings and predictions about the future of tech stocks, is an article that would amaze my parents but speaks to our times: “Despite high costs, more women are interested in single motherhood,” by Veronica Dagher. Not only are couples no longer feeling the need to marry before they have children. In today’s society, some women don’t need to be part of a couple before they embrace motherhood. Increasing wages for women create economic independence, and the share of women earning top salaries in high positions exploded 500 percent between 2008 and 2012. Women have gone from 1.9 percent among the top 0.1 percent of highest earners to 10.5 percent. In 2017, according to the WSJ article, four in 10 births were to either solo mothers or mothers living with nonmarital partners. Fifty years ago, the number was one in 10. That means these four out of every 10 children are being raised without a father. That has got to have profound effect on those children. According to California Cryobank, a major sperm bank in the United States, about one-third of its clients are single mothers by choice. Further,
