Long Island Coastal Steward President Denis Mellett shows growing shellfish at Brookhaven’s mariculture facility.

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Town of Brookhaven is as happy as a clam to have received a $400,000 grant from New York State for use in its shellfish hatchery located at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai. Brookhaven’s Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) announced June 20 that the state Department of Environmental Conservation awarded it a grant to expand and upgrade the Mariculture Facility at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai. Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (CRocky Point) said shellfish play an important role in cleaning the town’s coastal waters. “All the seeding that we do — and the ability to grow more — just contributes to cleaning the harbor even more,” Bonner said. “You put a couple million oysters in there, you have your own natural filtering system.” Oysters and other shellfish help remove harmful nutrient pollutants in the water like nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon dioxide. These shellfish also feed on algae, which improves water clarity. Romaine said the grant will fund an upgrade to the facility’s power supply through PSEG, which will run new power lines and poles to the facility, a $275,000 operation. The grant also upgrades motors on existing water pumps to 20 horsepowers and allows for the installation of a new floating upweller system, or FLUPSY, where immature seedlings can be put into the water and be protected from predators. The unique design of FLUPSY incorporates a basket/silo combination to allow easy access to seed and extend the oysters further into the water column, creating more water pressure and higher water flow. Water flow from individual silos is dumped into a centrally located trough with a well and mounted pump to eliminate cavitation. Romaine said repopulating shoreline with shellfish will restore Long Island’s shellfish industry. “It’s critical to have the ability for people to make a living collecting oysters and clams,” Romaine said. “[Oyster and clam fishermen] have had hard times, and these shellfish would restore that industry.” The hatchery currently produces 1 million oyster seeds, 2 million clam seeds and 70,000

scallop seeds. The grant funds will enable the town to purchase an additional 2 million new seed clams. The hatchery is expecting to yield approximately 12 million hard clam seed and 3 million oysters by 2019, according to Romaine. The most recent group of oysters will be kept in cages over the winter and grow over another season, which starts in spring and runs into late fall. When they reach adult sizes, at about 1.5 inches large, they will be moved into protected plots along the North Shore. Though town employees operate the Mount Sinai facility, the nonprofit Coastal Steward of Long Island is partnered with the Town of Brookhaven to use the hatchery for its educational shellfish monitoring programs. The town grows the bulk of the oysters inside its facility several yards beyond the beach sands, but the nonprofit helps to monitor the shellfish health inside Mount Sinai Harbor under normal conditions. “We clean them, we maintain them and we help them get to adulthood before they’re released,” Coastal Steward President Denis Mellett said. “Unlike the town we’re not trying to breed a million oysters — we’re managing 50,000 oysters that we can look at and see how they’re growing, measure them and check the mortality.” Bruce Folz, Coastal Steward director of shellfish restoration, said this year’s crop of shellfish have had better than average growth, and that the group is excited to see if the upgrades will help accelerate growth and reduce mortality. “They are important for structure and tidal erosion of the beaches,” Coastal Steward Treasurer Mark Campo said. “That is in addition to all the other benefits, such as the water filtering they provide.” The grant is part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) $10.4 million state initiative to improve Long Island’s water quality and coastal resilience by expanding shellfish populations. Other grants were awarded to the towns of East Hampton, Islip and Hempstead. Brookhaven town board members unanimously adopted a $400,000 bond June 14 in case the grant money does not arrive by this fall, which is when renovation is expected to start, and continue through Spring 2019.

COUNTY Hahn looking to reduce straw use in Suffolk BY AMANDA PERELLI

AMANDA PERELLI

A Suffolk County legislator asked residents to go strawless this summer, along with local participating restaurants pledging to keep from giving out plastic straws. Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) and members of the Suffolk County Plastic Reduction Task Force, have launched a countywide plan to reduce single-use straws, named Strawless Suffolk. The goal is to have 100 seaside restaurants in Bellport, Greenport, Huntington, Northport, Patchogue and Port Jefferson Village take a pledge to stop using plastic straws by Labor Day, according to Hahn. The initiative’s kickoff announcement was held July 2 at The Purple Elephant in Northport. It is one of 31 restaurants and two schools that have already taken the pledge. The restaurants that pledge will be provided with a blue turtle decal that states “Strawless Summer 2018 Participant.” “If you see the sticker, go back to those restaurants because they are doing the right thing,” Hahn said. To be eligible, restaurants can participate in three ways: Stop using straws completely, provide biodegradable straws made with paper or bamboo upon request or provide reusable ones made of stainless steel or glass. “The task force was created in order to reduce the single-use plastics,” said Kaitlin Willig, Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and vice chair of Suffolk County Plastic Reduction Task Force. “I think we are trying to go about it

Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn, right, calls on restaurants and residents to reduce straw use this summer at a press conference July 2 at The Purple Elephant in Northport. in a way that educates people, so they make the choice themselves. We can get rid of that throw away culture that we have and move toward reusing, rather than just trying to recycle. We are trying to go through education and make smarter choices.” Hahn said she’s been participating in beach cleanups for a long time and is always struck with how many straws she comes across. “We’d go to a restaurant and it would make me so angry when they just put [a straw] in your drink without even saying anything,” Hahn said. “I mean it’s really just a waste. I can’t even say no at this point because it’s too

late. If they put it down and it’s wrapped, I’ll just give it back.” Hahn added that leaving the unused wrapped straw on the table is not enough. She worked in a restaurant and said it is common an unopened straw would be thrown out anyway. She directed those interested in getting involved to take their own pledge with the Skip the Straw campaign, a similar initiative tailored to get individuals involved by Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting ocean health. “I think individuals should think about trying to do it,” Hahn said. “You know first

and foremost you can be responsible for what you do as an individual and then you can also tell the restaurants you frequent. You can tell them they don’t need to, and they’ll save money if they don’t automatically give out straws. If they make it by request, they can save a lot and then if they do choose to provide some upon request, make it paper.” Nearly 90 percent of all marine debris is made of plastic, including plastic straws. Every day Americans discard half a billion plastic straws, many of which find their way into oceans and inland waterways, according to the press release.

Clockwise from above, members of Operation Veronica Janet Godfrey; Godfrey, Judi Miranda and Annabelle Skoglind; Janice Piazza and Irene Stellato; Godfrey; and Frances Johannemann prepare items to be shipped from the nonprofit’s base in Rocky Point to soldiers stationed all over the world.

Operation Veronica sends hope to soldiers BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM There are 1.3 million active military personnel stationed all around the world according to the U.S. Department of Defense, and while Janet Godfrey and her nonprofit Operation Veronica know they can’t reach all of them, they’ve sure tried to. The Rocky Point-based organization has worked to ship thousands of boxes filled with food, toiletries, utensils and more to thousands of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen stationed overseas since 2005. Even after all this time Godfrey said she is still amazed just how appreciative the men and women in uniform are after receiving their packages. “More important than the contents of the box is that the soldiers know people they never met got together and intentionally spent their time, money and effort to send this package to them,” Godfrey said. “We’re told by the people who receive it that it’s like getting a message from the American people.”

Close to 20 women volunteers have met nearly every Friday at St. Anthony’s Church in Rocky Point since the group’s inception, and over its 13-year lifespan, have helped ship over 70,000 boxes. The boxes have been sent to soldiers in nine different countries as well as several naval ships stationed all over the world. If volunteers are not busy packing boxes, they are working a sewing machine making neck coolers for the spring months and polar fleece sweaters for winter. Other women are hunkered down creating s urvival bracelets made from 550 paracord, the same cordage that airborne infantry used making World War II parachutes. Soldiers can find the bracelets useful in the field for making tourniquets or restraints, for storing equipment or to do something as simple as lacing their shoes. “This kind of thing is very spiritually rewarding,” Rocky Point volunteer Judi Miranda said. “I’ve always done volunteer work, but there is something very special about what we’re doing.” The boxes the group ships are filled with essentials, but the volunteers often add other items at soldiers’ requests. This could be anything from glue traps to deal with vermin problems to flip-flops to aid in walking around without fear of getting dust in their boots. “Everybody wants to do something to support our troops, but they just don’t know what to do,” Godfrey said. “We’re an outlet in that regard.” It’s not cheap to send so many boxes overseas. Using a medium-sized flat-rate United States Postal Service box costs $18 to ship. If the group wishes to send a more irregular-sized box it may cost closer to $30 or $40. The volunteers rely on donations from the local community as well as the support from the American Legion Post 1880, the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary at the Leisure Glen Homeowners

Association in Ridge, Rocky Point VFW Post 6249 and the Richard and Mary Morrison Foundation based in Port Jefferson. “We’re relying on every little penny,” said Irene Stellato, a volunteer from Rocky Point. Even with the amount of time and money that goes into the work, Godfrey said she sees what Operation Veronica is able to do as a good that goes beyond politics. The name for the group comes from the story of St. Veronica, who in the Bible is said to have used her veil to wipe the face of Jesus as he carried his cross to the mound. “She couldn’t take him off the walk, she couldn’t change his fate, but she gave him a momentary relief from physical discomfort, and that’s what we’re trying to do,” Godfrey said. “We can’t change their fates, we can’t change their lives, we can’t bring them home as much as we want to, but we

can cool them off when they’re hot, we can warm them up when they’re cold, we can give them something to eat when they’re hungry, so we do what we can.”

ENVIRONMENT Legislature fights to preserve county waters With mounting pressure to preserve the sanctity of Long Island’s coastal waters, Suffolk County is teaming up with specialists at Stony Brook University to educate the public on marine pollution. “Folks on Long Island are more involved with [marine pollution] than other parts of the country because they are spending time around the sound and beaches,” said Katherine Aubrecht, the faculty director for coastal environmental studies at Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. “It’s such a bigger part of people’s lives, and there is a more receptive audience here to be thinking about this.” The county Legislature unanimously passed a resolution June 5 to direct the Division of Planning & Environment in the Department of Economic Development and Planning to collaborate with SoMAS to establish a marine debris pollution awareness program. Though it is just in its preliminary stages, according Legislator Sarah Anker (DMount Sinai) who sponsored the resolution, the awareness program would be used to educate school-aged children and the general public on the dangers of garbage pollution to the marine ecosystem. “We want the education to be generalized, so that we can have flexibility in who we speak to and about what,” Anker said. Anker said the two goals for the upcoming program are to educate the public on how we are affecting and degrading our oceans, and to teach people what they could do about it,

Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai including the need for beach cleanups and how to properly recycle plastics. Aubrecht said that there are three unpaid interns from the Stony Brook University’s environmental humanities program charged with compiling data on ocean pollution, and looking into what other marine debris education efforts exist on Long Island. Data is also being collected on demographics the program wishes to target with the campaign. Kathleen Fallon, the coastal processes and hazards specialist for New York Sea Grant, said educating young people is of the utmost significance. “It is important to teach young children about the impact they are having on their community and how they can become environmentally conscientious,” she said. “Some examples could include teaching students about the impact they might have, even just picking up a few pieces of trash or about how all pollutants eventually make

their way into marine environments.” Anker said she expects the program to have a full formal presentation ready by the end of next year. She also expects by next Earth Day, the debris awareness program will have presentations to show what citizens can do to help clean up the local marine environment. Microplastics ending up in local waters are among the most pressing issues on Long Island. Microplastics are plastics that have broken down due to erosion into pieces smaller than 5 millimeters — they end up being swallowed by sea life endangering the health of the animal and, if the issue is untreated, those plastics can easily end up on the dinner table, too. At the county Legislature’s April 19 Health Committee meeting Rebecca Grella, a Brentwood High School research scientist and teacher, said she had surveyed Flax Pond Marine Laboratory in Old Field in October 2017 and that in 1 square meter of shoreline,

found 17 grams of microplastics. She said there were approximately 400 pounds of plastic in 1 mile of shoreline in the pond. Aubrecht said that when these plastics enter a marine environment they can also cause organic pollutants — which are often too dispersed and not dangerous — to merge onto these plastics, but have a larger effect on marine wildlife. Ocean debris also cause animal entanglement, like a small fish or turtle getting caught in a plastic ring that holds a six-pack of cans. These entangled creatures often suffer major injuries or die if they can’t free themselves. Though all these problems may seem daunting, Fallon said that education is the starting line in a race that will hopefully end with the elimination of marine pollutants. “A community that is made aware of the impact that they are having on their environment will hopefully be more likely to avoid harmful actions,” Fallon said.

Bill for Drug Take Back Act passes state Senate, Assembly New York is taking another step toward ridding our community and our homes of dangerous drugs. The state Assembly passed the Drug Take Back Act June 20 following the Senate’s passage of the bill the night before, which will establish a statewide program to provide free, safe pharmaceutical disposal for unused or expired medications. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, rather than the taxpayers, will foot the entire bill for implementing the program. Chain pharmacies will be required to provide free drug take-back sites, while other authorized collectors, like independent pharmacies and local lawenforcement, will have the option to participate. “This landmark law makes New York a national leader in addressing the opioid crisis and protecting our waters from pharmaceutical pollution,” said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, applauding state Sen. Kemp Hannon (R-Garden City) and Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther (DMiddletown). “[They] have stood up for clean water, public health and New York taxpayers over the special interests of the

This drug take-back legislation is the best in the nation and we believe it will be adopted by other states. The cost to the pharmaceutical industry will be negligible — communities that have passed similar laws estimated a cost of just a couple pennies per prescription.” This legislation ensures all New Yorkers will have convenient access to safe drug disposal options. Making safe disposal options accessible to the public will reduce what officials described as the harmful

and antiquated practice of flushing unwanted drugs. Drugs that are flushed are polluting waters from the Great Lakes to Long Island Sound, threatening aquatic life, water quality and drinking water. “A lack of options to safely dispose of unused drugs is contributing to the national drug abuse epidemic that is now the leading cause of injury and death in the U.S., ahead of car accidents,” said Andrew Radin, chair of the New York Product Stewardship Council and recycling director for Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency. “Deaths from

drug overdoses and chronic drug abuse in New York state have increased 71 percent between 2010 and 2015.” More than 2,000 people in New York die annually from opioid overdose, and 70 percent of people that abuse prescription drugs get them from friends and family, according to the Citizens Campaign for the Environment. “The Drug Take Back Act will save lives by stopping prescription drug abuse at its source,” Radin said. A coalition of environmental, public health and product stewardship organizations praised Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and the state Department of Environmental Conservation for a recently released report, called “The Feasibility of Creating and Implementing a Statewide Pharmaceutical Stewardship Program in New York State,” which called for the disposal program to be funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Cuomo asked for the report when he vetoed what he called a poorly crafted disposal bill that passed the legislature last year. “Safe drug disposal options will help save lives by getting leftover prescription drugs out of household medicine cabinets, where they are often stockpiled and abused,” Esposito said. “We now look forward to seeing the governor sign this critical bill into law.”

Members of media, protester removed from Zeldin rally BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA More than 350 supporters attended U.S. Congressman Lee Zeldin’s (R-Shirley) campaign kickoff event at the Smithtown Elks Club last week, but full media coverage of the guest speakers may be hard to come by. Two members of the local press were kicked out of Zeldin’s June 28 event after an attendee in their vicinity vocally decried one of his controversial featured speakers, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. “I asked, ‘Why do I have to leave?’ There was no reason

given,”said Pat Biancaniello, editor of the site Smithtown Matters and one of the journalists removed from the event. Chris Boyle, communications director for Zeldin’s 2018 campaign for Congress, said that a protester made an outburst that created a disturbance in the middle of the rally, causing the congressman’s security team to react. “[I]n an effort to escort all those involved out of a crowded and loud rally, three people, including the protester, were identified as being involved in the outburst and were escorted out,” Boyle said in a statement. Setauket resident Susan Perretti, the woman identified as having created the disturbance at the event,

said she had RSVP’d she would be attending with two friends in hopes of getting an opportunity to directly address her congressman unfiltered, saying town hall-style events tend to only allow for prescreened questions. When two friends were denied entry, she proceeded to head inside. Perretti, a member of the North Country Peace Group advocacy organization, said once inside she had a hard time keeping quiet while hearing comments made by several former advisers to President Donald Trump (R) and what she called “hate” speech from attendees. “Then when Sean Spicer came out, I just started saying, ‘It’s enough — it’s enough,’” she said. When Zeldin’s security team approached her, Perretti said she was asked to leave or she would be arrested. Upon asking why, Perretti said she was informed that she was trespassing before being escorted off the premises peacefully. Biancaniello said she and Dave Ambro, editor of The Smithtown News, were standing in close proximity to Perretti when the commotion began. The editor of The Smithtown News took a photo of Perretti’s outburst, according to those in attendance, before he was the first journalist to be escorted out. Ambro declined to comment on the event. State Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) said he was close enough to see Zeldin’s security team approach both Perretti and the reporters, but he could not hear the conversation over the rally and it was unclear what was unfolding. “There was a list of people who were known troublemakers [the security team] was on the lookout for who were known to be trying to get in,” Fitzpatrick said, “Two were discovered trying to find their way inside to disrupt the event.” However, the assemblyman said the reporters kicked out were not associated with the protester. “I did not witness any problem whatsoever by David or Pat,” he said. “From what I could see, there was no reason for them to be asked to be removed. They were not part of the disruption. When the commotion started, they were obviously paying attention to it as reporters would.” Biancaniello said she was the second journalist to be forced out by Zeldin’s security team. She alleged she identified herself as a member of the press, was openly wearing a media badge provided by Zeldin’s team and that her camera was hit by a guard when she attempted to take a photo. “I think it was people were intentionally singled out,” the Smithtown Matters editor said. Zeldin’s staff said the press failed to appropriately identify themselves to the security team. “When asked to leave, the two other people, later identified as the editor of the longtime anti-Zeldin Smithtown News and a left leaning local blogger, did not display those credentials they were provided almost as if they wanted to get thrown out to write about it afterwards,” Zeldin’s communications director said. “Following the outburst, they did not contact any members of our team until hours after the event ended.” Biancaniello said she had called and emailed Zeldin’s office immediately following the event without response. After making her story public in a Facebook post at approximately 8:30 p.m., Biancaniello said she was informed several local residents contacted Zeldin’s office and she eventually received an emailed reply asking why she never properly identified herself as being with the press despite alleging she was wearing her press badge. The Smithtown Matters editor said she has grave concerns about the precedent the event may set for media coverage of the upcoming race this November for the 1st Congressional District. “What does it say when only the people given admission again were the people who you think will cover it positively?” she said. “That’s not where the world needs to be today. We have enough people coming after journalists and the integrity of the media in general.”

Second-graders make a difference with a rain garden Market Day grand opening Miller Avenue Elementary School stormwater runoff from the school’s roof and students in Alice Steinbrecher’s class are proud of their green thumbs. During a lesson from Cornell Cooperative Extension youth educator Mark Cappellino, the second-graders learned about the benefits of a rain garden to the environment. They chose the rear building entrance to plant some native plants, wild flowers and suitable shrubbery to be able to soak up

other areas and protect water quality. With help from family, and with donated plants from Cornell Cooperative, the school now boasts another garden in conjunction with the Caring for Our Community project. According to Steinbrecher, students also learned that their new garden will provide a habitat for wildlife and increase the diversity of birds and butterflies.

Students were really invested in this hands-on activity and utilized their “business smarts” to beat out their competition.

Students at Wading River School met Wolf and Champ, two key figures that help protect the local community. The German shepherds, from the Suffolk County Police Department Canine Section, were visiting the elementary school with handlers Sgt. Kevin Krause and officer Matthew DeWitt. Fourth-graders in Frank Ulrich’s class came up with a list of questions to ask in preparation for the visitors. Some questions were why German shepherds are chosen and why only male dogs are chosen. The students viewed a PowerPoint on the history of using canines to help police officers locate explosive devices, find people and identify illegal drugs. They also learned about the intense training techniques the officers use and the intelligence, agility and sense of smell the versatile animals possess.

Varsity wrestling coach named national hall of fame inductee BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Setting track records in Rocky Point

ROCKY POINT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Rocky Point High School wrestling coach Darren Goldstein was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame April 20. Goldstein, a former All-League wrestler, is a member of the 1985 Port Jefferson state cup champion team. He is considered to have the most winning athletes in the Empire State Games and began coaching in the district as the junior varsity coach. He started the North Shore Wrestling Club on a federally funded grant, creating a club that opened its doors to anyone that wanted to attend. Before being appointed as the varsity coach in Rocky Point, Goldstein served as a coach in ShorehamWading River, Mount Sinai and Longwood. To date, Goldstein has amassed 232 dual-meet wins, five dual-meet league championships, several league tournament championships, two Suffolk County dualmeet championships, a Suffolk County tournament champion and a 2010 New York state championship. He has worked with 55 All-County wrestlers, including 12 Suffolk County champions. He has coached one Olympian — Brandon Escobar — and a female world team member and national champion — Jenna Burkett. “The wrestling room is just another classroom, so like my classroom students I want the wrestlers to learn lessons of life that go beyond the four walls of the

classroom or wrestling room,” Goldstein said. “Being inducted into the Hall of Fame was a tremendous honor.” Former student-athlete Tommy Dutton said he did just that. “I took a lot away from him, being around him for so long he really became an important figure in my life,” he said.

“He always was supportive win or lose and knew how to handle almost every situation or adversity that the team or an individual faced. He went above and beyond for a lot of guys on the team and everyone trusted him and the other coaches and that is why the team has been consistently successful for years and will be for years to come.”

During this spring track and field season, two Rocky Point Union Free School District students helped to make history as they set new records in track and field competitions. After trying to triple jump for the first time, Rocky Point Middle School eighth-grader Alexandra Kelly broke the school record, which had been set in 2002. Alexandra broke the record by 7 inches, jumping 34-8 before setting another new record a week later with a 35-9 leap. She also set a new record in the long jump with a 17-4.5 jump. Rocky Point High School’s Jake Pohl broke a record of his own. The senior took down a 34-year-old varsity track and field score in the discus. The previous record was 139-6 set in 1984. He crushed that throw with his own personal best and new school record of 141-10, which at the time ranked him fifth among all discus throwers in Suffolk County.

Local student-athletes win Dellecave awards Eight local student-athletes were chosen by their schools as award winners for the 18th Annual Butch Dellecave Awards. Shoreham-Wading River High School seniors Cooper Cummings and Katherine Lee, Rocky Point High School seniors Peter LaSalla and Christina Bellissimo, Miller Place High School seniors Tyler Ammirato and Jillian Patterson, and Mount Sinai High School seniors Joseph Pirreca and Meaghan Tyrrell were each nominated for the award. Each of the school districts in Suffolk County are tasked with nominating one male

and female graduating senior for the award, which is named after longtime Suffolk County basketball official and founder of the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame, Butch Dellecave. Nominees must be students who are not only at the top of their game, but score high in classroom performance and in their commitment to local community service. The students are selected for exceptional character and integrity. The students were recognized at a recent breakfast ceremony. Ammirato and Patterson were unable to attend the event.

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died Feb. 13, 2016. With the presidential election 269 days away, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and his caucus set a new precedent, refusing to hold confirmation hearings or a vote on then-President Barack Obama’s (D) nominee Merrick Garland because they believed the American people were mere months away from truly having a chance to weigh in on the decision. This week Justice Anthony Kennedy, viewed by many as the center-right fulcrum of an otherwise politically balanced bench, announced he would retire. As a result, President Donald Trump (R), with two- to six-and-a-half more years left in the White House, will get his second bite at the Supreme Court apple, having already appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch last year. If we are to set aside the hypocrisy of Senate Republicans pledging to plow forward with the nomination and confirmation process before the midterms, just 124 days from now, we don’t think it’s too much to ask for them to consider a few things as they begin the process. First, can our current political climate handle the nomination and appointment of a partisan justice bent on say, being the deciding vote in overturning Roe v. Wade? Yes, it would score political points with the president’s Republican base and enflame liberals even more than they already are, which seems to be one of the few pillars guiding the right. Do Republicans in Congress truly believe they don’t have a role to play in restoring some shred of compromise and unity in our politics? Would nominating a hard-line pro-life justice this close to what was already likely to be possibly as heated a campaign season our country has ever seen (outside of 2016, of course) really do anything to advance our country’s discourse to a better place than we’re in now? Further, beyond Roe v. Wade, are Republicans comfortable with the current discourse regarding the free press and the First Amendment? Will Trump be vetting his nominee about their stance on critical issues pertaining to his own legal situation, which includes probes into his personal attorney’s alleged pay-for-play White House access business structure and a special counsel investigation into Trump’s alleged campaign ties to the Russian government and its meddling in our election? Everyone involved is innocent until proven guilty, but if the president intends to impose a litmus test on his nominee for a question like, “Can the president of the United States legally pardon himself?” that should be a red flag to anyone who claims to believe in the rule of law. We don’t feel it’s too much to ask for Republicans to consider a nominee that could serve as a unifier in as desperate a time as any for a little compromise, even assuming they’ve made up their mind on tearing up the McConnell Rule before the proverbial ink from 2016 is even dry. Both sides like to stake claims to a mythical moral high ground. Republicans, as they cheerlead things like tearing up the Affordable Care Act and labeling the free press as the enemy of the American people, could do more to stake an actual claim to that high ground than they have since Trump burst onto the scene with a nominee in the form of an olive branch.

I’ve been a resident of the Three Village area, specifically Poquott, for 30 years, and I have enjoyed all it has to offer. There is a strong sense of community, rich history, natural beauty and a varied wildlife environment. While I began to realize this gradually over the years, my inspiration to write this piece was prompted by a recent early morning experience that made me truly appreciate what we have here. As the saying goes, “the early bird catches the worm.” I could be considered an early bird, as I am usually out and about at 6 a.m., but I don’t catch worms. What I do catch at that time is the peacefulness of the area, the almost lack of modern ambient noise. A couple of weeks ago, at around 6 a.m., I stood on the bluff overlooking Port Jefferson Harbor at low tide, and I was blessed with nature at its finest. A mother deer and her fawn — already without spots, but still small — were exploring the beach. While “mommy” was perusing, the fawn was f rolicking in and out of the water — bounding about like a little kid, in and out of the water. Simultaneously, two white common egrets fished nearby, folding their necks ready to strike. The red-tailed hawks screeched above, along with the ubiquitous seagulls searching for their next meal, while the Canadian geese ate the seaweed — not to mention the tiny little birds flitting about along the beach in search of bugs. What a gift to witness this all at once. That got me to thinking. While our local environment is amazing, our history here is just as, if not more, amazing.

Community appreciation

The Three Village community was home to an African-American and Native-American culture for hundreds of years and still exists today along Christian Avenue — archeologists have recently been examining certain areas. Setauket and Port Jeff were also communities where ship building was a major economic resource. To feed our local ancestors, we had the grist mills in Stony Brook and Setauket, the chickens bred on Chicken Hill — this is where the Setauket firehouse now stands and where the rubber factory workers lived. There was also our agriculture. At that time our community was thriving, and still is. We have our ancestors to thank for that. Today in this modern world, despite traffic and our conveniences, all the above still holds true. We live in a community that is to be appreciated. And

I hope with our Independence Day celebrations we took note and remembered that our community’s brave ancestors, the Setauket spies, were a very integral part of our nation’s independence. They were the pioneers in military intelligence. They risked their lives to create a new nation. That alone makes the Three Village area indeed historic. As such, I suggest that we all take some time out of our busy lives, get out for a couple of hours here and there, and explore what this community has to offer. We are truly blessed with natural variety, history, neighborly values and, of course, patriotism. We have it all, all you have to do is look.

John Juhasz Poquott

Liberalism is stripping away freedom Moral laws no longer required. Standards need not apply, numbing the freedom of conscience. Absolutes are now antiquated. A square peg is adaptable to a round hole. False. This has become the gospel of mass liberals. As cancer denies viability in life so does the perversion of liberalism. Truth is cure in stopping this despotic

direction. It is a destroyer of freedom that has denied viable freedom to many nations. Liberalism is a growing society that gradually devours its people in false freedom. A domination that shall in time control all freedom of enterprise and change the structure of social society from the concepts that created The Greatest Generation. Be aware,

America, that we are slowly being denied our freedom daily referred to as subjected control. Freedom is not free. It is earned. Example: the efforts of our Founding Fathers. God bless America.

OPINION

Strangers in a strange land

ant to know why biscuits in North Carolina are so much better than they are in the rest of the world? I did, which was why I interrupted a woman who was loading her groceries at a Harris Teeter supermarket and chatting with the cashier. One word: love. “Well, it’s love and a lot of butter,” she said. “You can’t be afraid of the butter.” She suggested that biscuits were invented in North Carolina and that everyone’s grandmother has a recipe for them. By Daniel Dunaief They all taste somewhat different, but they’re all so much better than everywhere else.

D. None of the above

That was just one of the many stories we’ve overheard ever since we picked up our two high-school-aged kids, threw our unwitting and desperately frustrated cats into their carriers, and relocated to the Tar Heel State. Putting the cats in the carriers is always challenging, but it was as if they recognized that the trip would be especially difficult for them. The older one, who is cautious and only likes members of our family, stuck his paws out as we tried to lower him into the case. It reminded me of all the times our children used to arch their backs as we tried to put them in the car seat. Reasoning with the cats didn’t work, but eventually we won the battle. We arrived here during a heat wave in the Northeast. As it turns out, our first few days have been a few degrees cooler than what we left behind. Our son observed on the way to the airport that we used to make this drive when we were leaving home, but we were

now taking the drive toward a plane that would take us to our new home. Our interactions with people here have been remarkable. For starters, it really is challenging to find someone who is originally from Charlotte. We have met people from Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. The Northeasterners have universally described how much they enjoy living here. Some of their own complaints are the lack of bagels and authentic Chinese food. People, wherever they are from when they’re here, have been noticeably courteous, even before they read our Yankees shirts, our Brooklyn Cyclones hats and the names of Northeastern schools on our attire. I was pulling out of a store with an enormous rental car. The drivers from two lanes in front of me stopped to let me go. The North Carolinians are also more than ready to share their stories. Randal, the driver who delivered our

cars, gave us advice about where to go for mechanical and auto-body needs. He also shared a few harrowing anecdotes from his days driving a truck and responding to various emergency calls. On my trip to the grocery store, where I met the woman who was so proud of her biscuits, I also noticed how people violate the typical New York peripheral vision rule. You know how when you’re in the city and you’re walking down the street, you’re supposed to notice people without staring at them or looking them directly in the eye? The opposite was true among the people I saw in the supermarket. They not only look you in the eye, but they greet you with a “hello” and “how are you doing?” While I will never be able to test the North Carolina biscuit theory because of my lactose intolerance, I would have to say that, so far, our first impressions of our new state have been remarkably positive.

Are we being told a recession is coming?

uly is truly upon us, and that means half the year is gone. Those who deal with numbers are busily tallying up all sorts of statistics for the first two quarters. Business people with large and small companies alike are checking to see how the numbers compare with last year, and what they can do to improve the depressed bottom line — or maintain the improved bottom line for the next six months. And for those of us in the stock market with pension plans or investments, there will be half-year statements coming to let us know how we stand. By Leah S. Dunaief As we are taking stock of our stocks, there is this interesting bit of news to consider. According to a recent article by Matt Phillips in The New York Times, we are getting an important signal from the bond

market. Now there are all sorts of predictors about which way stocks will move, from who wins ballgames to the length of hemlines, and they are often as wrong as the Farmers’ Almanac about the coming winter weather. But there is one telltale that is surprisingly accurate: the bond-yield curve. And that yield curve is “flashing yellow.” Here is what the yield curve means. The yield curve is the difference between interest rates on short-term government bonds like those maturing in two years compared with those maturing further out, like 10 years. Remember that a bond is a promissory note to repay a debt that the government has incurred, along with interest on the debt, for a set period of time. So, if the government borrows $10,000 from you and pays it back in two years, you will also get interest on that sum in return for lending the government the money. Normally the longer you agree to lend the money, the higher the interest rate you get in return for taking additional risk concerning the health of the economy. A healthy economy usually encourages inflation, which is countered by higher

interest rates — hence an increased long-term rate, including the built-in risk compensation. Lately, long-term interest rates on government bonds have been slow to rise, predicting a less healthy economy on the horizon. The short-term interest rates on government notes, as these instruments are called, have been rising, however, because inflation seems to have started. So the difference between the interest rates, short-term and long-term — the yield curve — has been decreasing or “flattening.” The difference between the two-year and 10-year interest rates is now about 0.34 percentage points, and the last time it was so little was just before the 2008 recession. Does that mean a recession is coming? If the trend continues, and the long-term interest rate dips below the short-term rate, this is called an “inversion.” An inversion is, according to the way John Williams — the new president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — told it earlier this year, “a powerful signal of recessions.” The Times article indicated that every recession in the last 60 years has been preceded by an inverted yield curve,

when short-term interest is higher than that for the longer term. Only once was there a false positive, in the mid-1960s, when there was only a slowdown in the economy. That is why economists and those on Wall Street are watching the yield curve so closely these days. This concern does seem to fly in the face of the present economic conditions. Unemployment is at a low, consumers seem to be happily spending and corporations are reinvesting in their companies. However accurate the yield-curve predictor may be, it cannot precisely tell us when a recession will occur. In the past, the falloff of the economy could happen in six months or two years after the inversion. There is always another side to every story. Because central banks own massive amounts of government bonds, which they bought not so long ago to try and stimulate the economy by providing liquidity, that may be keeping long-term rates low. And the Federal Reserve has been tightening monetary policy lately to keep inflation in check, hence higher short-term rates. So, who knows?

SPORTS MEAGHAN TYRRELL

Mount Sinai seniors compete in game of a lifetime Duo join other local graduates to play in Under Armour All-America game in Maryland BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Although North fell to South in a 10-9 overtime thriller during the Under Armour All-America lacrosse game in Maryland June 30, featuring the country’s best high school seniors, recent Mount Sinai graduate Meaghan Tyrrell was just proud to have been a part of it. “Being chosen to be part of the Under Armour game is such a huge honor because it’s the top 44 players in the country being chosen, which makes for a great game,” she said. “It was quality, competitive lacrosse, which is good to have before heading into college.” According to Ward Melville senior Shannon Berry, another player selected for the game, the teams arrived in Baltimore Thursday, June 28, and the girls spent the first evening at the Under Armour headquarters, where they received all of their gear. The teams practiced twice on Friday before taking the field Saturday morning. “It was crazy to talk to some of those girls over the weekend and reflect on our time as young lacrosse players, and to see how far our journey’s as lacrosse players have gone,” the Princeton University-bound midfielder said. “All of my teammates were both incredible lacrosse players and great people. They were all extremely competitive, but also very friendly and kind.” Tyrrell said working alongside former competition was part of what made the experience unique. “It’s cool to get to know people that you’ve played against in school and travel lacrosse,” she said. “I think our team clicked practicing on both offense and defense.” Tyrrell played with teammate Meaghan Scutaro, a defender headed to the University

Recent Mount Sinai graduates Meaghan Tyrrell and Meaghan Scutaro, above at center, with their families during a photo shoot. of Notre Dame, for the last time. She said it was the best way she could cap off her high school lacrosse career. “I can’t think of any other way to say goodbye to high school lacrosse,” she said. “The game itself was so fun.” The Syracuse University-bound attack scored twice, her second tying the game at 9-9, which is something she’d consistently done for her Mustangs girls lacrosse team across her career. “It was a great feeling to be able to help the team,” she said. “We had an opportunity to go into overtime and be able to try and win.” Berry totaled four ground balls and five clears, taking one shot on goal.

“The level of competition was certainly the highest I have played in so far in my career,” said Berry, who played at attack, midfield and defense during the game. “The entire experience was incredible. Under Armour and Corrigan Sports truly do an amazing job of honoring the senior athletes and giving them an unforgettable, once-in-alifetime experience.” Ward Melville graduate Alex Mazzone was chosen to play in the boys game. The Georgetown University-bound defender was on the South team that toppled North 22-15. “It was really awesome to have both a male and female to represent Ward Melville,” Berry said. “It was great knowing that

both of us were there representing our community.” Northport attack Emerson Cabrera said the athletes are treated like professionals. They’re given new sneakers, cleats, uniforms and sticks and are followed around by photographers all weekend. The game is also broadcast live, and the teams took part in a charity day, working with Harlem Lacrosse, which Cabrera said was rewarding. She assisted on Bayport-Blue Point attack Courtney Weeks’ goal, who Cabrera said is a longtime friend of hers with whom she played club ball. “Everyone wanted to contribute somehow to the score, I was lucky to get a dodging opportunity to create an open cut for Courtney,” she said. “This was really an experience like no other. Under Armour makes it so special for us. I’m very proud to have ended my high school career being an Under Armour All-American.” Cabrera, along with many of her teammates from the all-star game, will continue to compete alongside one another at the collegiate level. She’ll be joining Long Beach goalkeeper Sarah Reznick and Notre Dame Prep attack Hannah Mardiney at the University of Florida in the fall where several other local alumnae currently play, like soon-to-be senior Sydney Pirreca (Mount Sinai) and sophomore Shannon Kavanagh (Smithtown East). Cabrera added that ending her high school career with this game wasn’t just an honor, but a dream come true. “It’s been something I’ve wanted to be a part of since I was little,” she said. “All of us have played with or against each other over the years and many of us will be joining forces together in college, so it was easy for our team to mesh. The transition I’m sure will still be a little tough, but as long as we all work hard, I’m sure it’ll go well.”
