Palumbo wins Republican primary in quest for third term BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After a Republican primary characterized by a challenger’s legal battle, the status quo prevailed in New York’s 2nd state Assembly District Sept. 13. Two-term incumbent Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) defeated challenger Mike Yacubich, a Shoreham resident and chief of the Rocky Point Fire Department, to earn a spot on the general election ballot in November. Palumbo secured more than 80 percent of the vote, with 2,740 registered Republicans in the district casting their ballots for the incumbent to just 641 for the challenger. “Thank you to all of the friends, supporters, staff, volunteers and especially family who sacrificed the summer to get this done,” Palumbo said in a post on his campaign Facebook page. He did not respond to a request for comment sent to his campaign email address. “I’m humbled by the tremendous turnout and the results last night are a reflection of your hard work and support. It’s an honor to serve you and we are on to the November general election.” Yacubich’s effort to challenge Palumbo wasn’t without a dose of intrigue. Judges from the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division ruled

in his favor Aug. 24 allowing his name to appear on the Sept. 13 ballot following challenges to his petition signatures raised by three citizen objectors from the district concerned two Mike Yacubichs were registered to vote at the same Shoreham address — both the candidate and his 25-year-old son. The objectors argued that since the father and son are registered to vote at the same address, those who signed the petition approving the elder Yacubich as a political candidate couldn’t have distinguished between he and his son, who also goes by Mike. The argument was heard by the Republican and Democratic commissioners of the Suffolk County Board of Elections —Nick LaLota and Anita Katz, respectively — who brought the case to the SufAnthony folk County Supreme Court. The lower court initially ruled against Yacubich, who then appealed and won to restore his name to the ballot. The appeals court judges ruled the board of elections “exceeded its authority,” in disallowing Yacubich’s signatures, finding no proof of any intention to confuse voters. “We fought hard and put a lot of time and

Whelan wins Surrogate’s Court primary

BY ALEX PETROSKI

Their first race is in the books, but the more important one is yet to come. Family Court Judge Theresa Whelan defeated attorney Tara Scully in the Democratic primary Sept. 13 to secure a spot on the November ballot in the race to preside over Suffolk County’s Surrogate’s Court. Whelan received nearly 65 percent of the vote, besting Scully 38,674 to 21,040 votes. “Last night was a great victory for Democrats,” Whelan said in a statement Sept. 14. “I want to thank the voters of Suffolk County and Democratic chairman, Rich Schaffer, for having confidence in me and my credentials. I’m looking forward to presenting my 10 years of judicial experience and 30 years of courtroom experience to the voters in November.” A spokesperson for Scully’s campaign characterized the primary result as a win for the candidate. “Tara scored her first victory in July, when her entrance into the race forced party leaders to scrap their plan to make a Conservative the candidate of the Democratic Party and scurry to find a Plan B,” campaign spokesman James Walsh said in a statement. “Today, more than 21,000 Democrats who voted to make Tara the candidate of their party sent a clear message to the party bosses that they are fed up with cross-endorsement deals. Tara is still the only candidate for Surrogate nominated by the people. No other candidate gathered a single signature to get into the race. We are confident that she will have broad support across party lines in the

general election.” The Surrogate’s Court race came under scrutiny after Newsday ran an editorial publicizing the political patronage and cross-endorsement agreements that highlighted the race. Newsday reported earlier this year District Court Judge Marian Rose Tinari, who is married to Suffolk’s Conservative Party chairman, Frank Tinari, and is a Conservative herself, had secured the Democratic Party line in the Surrogate’s Court race as a result of a deal with Schaffer. As a result, Scully said she gathered enough petitions to run on both Democratic and Republican lines in July to offer voters an alternative. When presented with Scully as a primary challenger, Tinari dropped out. The Democratic Party then nominated Whelan, who calls herself a lifelong Democrat. Despite Thursday’s primary defeat, Scully has secured the Republican Party line in the race for Surrogate’s Court and will face off Whelan again at the polls in less than two months. Judge John Czygier Jr., who currently oversees the county’s Surrogate’s Court, is nearing the mandatory retirement age, leaving a vacancy Scully and Whelan are competing to fill. The position, which yields a salary in excess of $200,000, carries a 10year term and the occupant may serve until age 70. Surrogate’s Court is responsible for handling all issues involving wills and the estates of people who die. The court also handles guardianship hearings and some adoption cases for children whose parents are deceased.

effort into an election process that clearly does not welcome outsiders,” Yacubich wrote in a Facebook post. “I can only hope we shed some light on an election system that could certainly use some changes, and I hope that some good will come from us expressing our frustrations with our elected officials.” Palumbo, who won a special election in 2013 to assume the seat he has held for two official terms following campaign victories in 2014 and 2016, will now turn his attention to Democrat Rona Smith, who he will meet in the Nov. 6 general election. Smith is a Southold resident who currently serves as chair of Southold’s Housing Advisory Commission, sits on the town’s Economic Palumbo Development Committee and is vice chair of the Southold Local Development Corporation. “Now we move forward with real issues that are important to constituents,” Smith said in a phone interview following the primary. “It’s about coming out and saying what you believe in, what you stand for and if that connects to the constituents.”

Statewide primary results BY ALEX PETROSKI Incumbent New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) easily defeated Democratic primary challenger activist and actress Cynthia Nixon Sept. 13, securing a spot on the November general election ballot. Cuomo secured nearly 65 percent of the vote statewide, besting Nixon by about 460,000 votes, according to the state Board of Elections. Locally, the two-term governor seeking his third performed even better. Almost 48,000 Suffolk County residents cast their ballots for Cuomo, according to the Suffolk County Board of Elections. Former state assemblyman, Marc Molinaro (R-Red Hook), awaits Cuomo in the general election. Cuomo’s ticket pulled off a clean sweep in the Democratic primary, as incumbent Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul defeated challenger Jumaane Williams, who campaigned with Nixon. Hochul garnered votes from about 48 percent of New Yorkers, and 57 percent of Suffolk County residents. Her general election opponent will be Julie Killian. In the four-way race for the vacated state attorney general position, Cuomo’s preferred choice Letitia James came out on top with about 38 percent of the vote both in the state and the county. She will face Republican Keith Wofford Nov. 6.

Town

Brookhaven partnering with nonprofit, seafood restaurants to boost shellfish population BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

“As CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up, ocean and coastal acidification become more of a concern,” said Anthony Graves, Brookhaven’s chief environmental analyst. He said taking the shells out of the town’s solid waste stream and using them to improve water quality by staving off erosion and stimulating shellfish growth is a “winwin-win” for the environment. “It’s tremendous how far we’ve come,” Carrano said, reflecting on the evolution of the operation of shellfish seeding in the town from when he started in his role. “When I started we were growing 100,000 clams. Now we’re growing a million and a half, close to 2 million clams this year and 2 million oysters. The town has been very generous and forthcoming in pushing this program and allowing it to move forward.” Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said he would like to see New York adopt a similar law to the state of Maryland’s, which prohibits discarding shells in landfills. “We’ve made a major commitment to restocking our bays, our harbor ways, our Sound, doing what we can do to restore the balance of nature,” he said. “It’s a cumulative battle, but it’s a battle that we’ve joined, it’s a battle that we intend to continue to fight because we think it’s important not only for the health of the bay, but also to ensure that the bay or harbor can support

ALEX PETROSKI

Restoring Long Island’s coastal waters as a haven for shellfish to thrive has been a multidecade battle for the Town of Brookhaven. This year, it has added some artillery to the fight in the form of a public-private-nonprofit partnership born in the spirit of sustainability and recycling. In the 1800s, Long Island was considered the oyster capital of the world, according to Maureen Dunn, water quality scientist at Seatuck Environmental Association, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Long Island’s wildlife and environment. “So, to think that there’s virtually no wild oysters in the South Shore is incredible, but it’s really something that we can fix,” Dunn said Sept. 7 at Brookhaven’s shellfish hatchery located on the shores of Mount Sinai Harbor. For more than 30 years, Brookhaven has been buying juvenile clams and oysters when they are just a millimeter in size, partially maturing them at the town’s hatchery and strategically returning them to North and South Shore waters in an effort to boost the population. Tom Carrano, the town’s assistant waterways management supervisor who has overseen this process since taking the position in the early ’80s, is set to retire imminently. “Realistically, clams and oysters are the only

natural resource the town actually owns because we own the bay bottom,” he said. “It’s our responsibility to make sure that there is sufficient quantities of these animals.” To aid in fulfilling that responsibility, beginning this year the town has partnered with Seatuck and so far five restaurants to spearhead a program called Half Shells for Habitat. The program entails the restaurants setting aside shells from eaten clams and oysters; collecting them; delivering them to the town’s composting facility in Manorville where they are aged in the sun for six months to a year to ensure viruses and bacteria are not inhabiting the discarded shells; bringing the shells to the hatchery to allow the tiny shellfish to adhere to the larger shells, building what essentially amount to shellfish reefs; and then returning them to the water in the hopes of growing new shellfish. The town has the capability to grow more than 3 million shellfish in its hatchery per year, and officials believe the use of mature shells will give them a better chance at maturation and warding off predators. Creating the shellfish reefs has several other benefits. The juvenile shellfish require a hard bottom to survive, which the reefs can provide. They also can work as erosion control if placed properly, can counteract the effects of water acidification spurred by climate change and also help to filter algae from the water.

clams and oysters.” Currently five restaurants have signed on to participate in the program — Catch Oyster Bar in Patchogue, Prime in Huntington, H2O Seafood & Sushi in East Islip and Tellers: An American Chophouse in Islip — though the town is looking for more. Prior to placing shellfish reefs back in the water, Graves said the town will need permission in the form of a permit from the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Obituary MPSD

9/11 remembrance

Several teachers at Miller Place School District’s North Country Road Middle School took the initiative to honor 9/11 fallen heroes by educating students about the horrific attacks that took place 17 years ago. Mrs. Himmelmann and Mrs. Saulle, two 7th grade English teachers, held lessons, above that included having students listen to recorded interviews from the 9/11 Memorial Museum’s oral history collection. The videos captured the different perspectives and emotions of three individuals who experienced the 9/11 attacks firsthand.

Students then reflected on each person’s perspective and touched upon what they found most shocking or moving in each person’s story. To complete the lesson, students remembered a positive or negative memory from their past to write about and share with their teacher. Mrs. Hibbard, a 6th grade social studies teacher, used a lesson on artifacts, (top photo), to educate students on the 9/11 attacks. The lesson taught students about the significance of artifacts and how they provide us insight into our past. Mrs. Hibbard also shared a video about 9/11 which showed students real-life artifacts, including items recovered from Ground Zero.

Decker Sound Beach School are excited to introduce students to new solutions to clear their minds, enhance their ability to focus and gain a more positive outlook on themselves and others.

It is with great sadness that the family of Marilyn Mastranadi, of Englewood, Florida, announced she died Sept. 6 at the age of 71 after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Greenwich Village Nov. 10, 1946, Marilyn grew up in Middle Village, Queens, where she met and married her high school sweetheart, John F. Mastranadi, spending the last 55 years with him raising a family, traveling and making memories. Marilyn enjoyed collecting sea glass while walking on her beloved beach in

Rocky Point, cooking delicious meals for her family, acing the New York Times crossword puzzles and creating beautiful quilts. Most of all though she loved spending time with her six treasured grandchildren: Tyler Clancy; Emily, Kate and Madeline Hammond; and Levon and Harrison Mastranadi. She will be missed by so many, especially her husband John; her sisters, Barbara Raffetto-Donnelly and Susan Raffetto; her children, Michele (Jeff) Clancy, Amy (Chris) Hammond, JT (Robyn) Mastranadi; her nieces and nephew, many cousins and extended family and friends. Those who wish to remember Marilyn are invited to consider a gift to Tidewell Hospice House in Englewood, which provided compassionate care to Marilyn, via tidewellhospice.org.

Miller Place school district completes solar energy system installation Miller Place school district is trying to do its part to reduce its carbon footprint by embracing renewable energy sources. The district announced Sept. 17 it had completed the installation of solar panels in each of its four school buildings, which are capable of supplying the district with 1.3 megawatts of solar energy, according to a district press release. The initiative was part of the district’s ongoing energy conservation plan, which was announced in 2014 as part of an energy performance contract approved by the board of education. The system was fully operational as of the start of the 2018-19 school year earlier this month. The system is expected to save the district about $240,000 annually in energy costs, which the district plans to reallocate to other expenses and capital improvements, according to the release. “This investment is a testament to the district’s forward-thinking financial philosophy and will help reduce the community’s carbon footprint,” Superintendent Marianne Cartisano said in a statement. “This is something to

be celebrated and we are incredibly excited that this initiative has now come to fruition.” To quantify the energy and cost savings and to add an educational component to the system, the district has installed monitors in the front lobby of each building that will show the amount of energy the solar panels are producing at any given time, the release said. In addition to depicting the number of kilowatt-hours the system has generated, the monitors will also display the system’s environmental benefits — including the amount of electricity no longer needed to power the building and the amount of carbon monoxide no longer emitted into the environment. “Implementing solar panels was part of the board of education’s long-term strategy to reduce costs, make the district’s facilities more eco-friendly and do our part to enhance the Miller Place community,” board President Johanna Testa said in a statement. “The board of education is committed to facilitating and organizing opportunities that will improve our district’s facilities and our students’ educational experiences. The solar energy system is one that we are thrilled to announce, and we

look forward to experiencing the many benefits that this energy program will provide our district and our community.”

The project will cost about $5.4 million including interest over the 18-year span of the lease agreement with Johnson Controls.

contracts with the town and operates the town’s facility in Yaphank, made good use of China’s market. While the facility continues to operate without a definitive answer to where else the company can move its materials, some of it is now going back into the landfill, according to Andrade. This crisis is not only affecting the Town of Brookhaven, but other municipalities on Long Island which sell their collected recyclables to Suffolk County’s largest township. In 2014, the Town of Smithtown formed a five-year contract with Brookhaven to send 12,000 tons of garbage to the Green Stream facility, in return for $180,000 per year. While Brookhaven continues to honor the agreements with its partnered municipalities, the lack of market availability for recyclables has some members of Smithtown Town Board concerned. At a Sept. 4 work session, Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) showed board members a photo taken by a drone in May showing recyclables piled in heaps just outside Brookhaven’s facility. The picture made Wehrheim and other board members question what might become of the town’s current recycling agreement. “At one point, we’re going to come to some decision what to do with [Brookhaven Town,] Wehrheim said. “It could be a potential problem ... in the short term.” Andrade said that excess dumping on the facility’s land came from the “shock” of China’s National Sword policy being implemented earlier this year, though he said the situation has since been brought under control. Despite these international issues, Andrade said Brookhaven remains committed to recycling. Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) “and the board believe very strongly in recycling, and we’ll bounce back from this,” he said. Russell Barnett, Smithtown’s environmental protection director in the Department of Environment and Waterways, said he is working on a solution with Brookhaven, including a regional approach comprising Smithtown, Huntington, Southold and several other communities that are partnered with Brookhaven. Smithtown had its own dual-stream facility that was closed before it started sending its materials to Brookhaven in 2014, though reopening it could be costly. “We’re assessing our equipment — seeing what’s operational, what’s not, what repairs need to be made and what upgrades need to be made if the occasion comes up that we want to go that route,” Barnett said. In the meantime, he said residents need to be more discriminating when it comes to deciding what items to recycle. Otherwise, it will be much harder in the future to find a buyer for the world’s recyclable garbage. “When they talk about the standard, they’re not just talking about nonrecyclable material

but the right kind of recyclable material.” Barnett said. “The markets are being overwhelmed; the people taking the material can be picky on what they accept. We’re going to have to respond by being better at only putting out the things that people can actually reuse.”

To recycle or not: Tips on handling your trash BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Operators of the Brookhaven recycling plant deal with a lot of junk. Not the good kind of junk, however, as many household items that residents assume can be recycled can cause havoc in the machinery. In the four years since the town invested in single-stream recycling, Erich Weltsek, a recycling coordination aid for Brookhaven, said there has been increased resident participation in the recycling program. But it has also led to some residents chucking in items that have no business being recycled. “We’ve gotten chunks of concrete, and you even get sports balls — like soccer balls, footballs — constantly,” he said. “A lot of what we call ‘wish cycling,’ where people think they’re doing the right thing and when in doubt they throw it in a recycle bin instead of the right receptacle.” Weltsek said people have tried to recycle Coleman outdoor stoves and propane tanks, which is extremely dangerous and could result in an explosion at the facility. The most pervasively disruptive items are plastic bags and other items that Weltsek called “tanglers,” such as Christmas tree lights, pool liners and garden hoses. The recycling facility operates on a number of conveyor belts that first feed into a device called a star screen, a number of rotating cylinders with feet that separate recyclable fibers from other items. These items either wrap around the wheels on the conveyor belt or star screen, either letting fibers through the wrong end or stopping the machine entirely. Suffolk residents should clean out any plastic bottles or cans before putting them in the recycling. Any low-quality paper products, including newspapers or grease-stained cardboard such as used pizza boxes, should not be recycled because they affect the sellable quality of the entire recycling bundle. Andrade said all plastic bags should be recycled at a local supermarket, which are mandated by New York State law to have a receptacle for all shopping bags. The plant often has to turn away other nonrecyclable material, such as plastic utensils, bottle caps and Styrofoam. All of these are considered contaminants, either because they cannot be recycled properly, or they dilute the quality of the material.

Editorial

LI faces a heap of trash issues When done drinking a bottled water or soda, we usually make a conscious effort to get it into a recycling bin. No further thought given, our good deed is done. We’ve recycled the plastic bottle rather than throwing it out to sit in a landfill. The photos released that clearly show the Town of Brookhaven’s Green Stream Recycling facility was nearly buried in mountains of collected recyclables from the residents of Brookhaven, Smithtown and Huntington townships this August are shocking. It should serve as an alarming wake-up call. This is a direct result of China implementing its National Sword policy to ban the import of recycled plastics. The visual impact of recyclables piling up like trash, and learning some items are now being sent to the landfill, have led us to the conclusion this is an issue that requires careful thought and attention. We, and we’re sure many of our readers, have lived with the presumption our recycled plastic bottles, aluminum cans and used paper were sorted, cleaned and reformed into reusable materials locally. However, we were blissfully unaware that China imported nearly half of the world’s recyclables to turn into raw goods through its manufacturing economy. Now, with changing international trade policy, shipping our recyclables — or honestly, still household garbage — halfway around the world is no longer an option. Suffolk County’s townships are struggling to figure out a new way to handle the piles of debris. Finding a new market for these recycled raw materials will pose an obvious challenge. Striking a balance of recycling items beneficial from a fiscal and economic viewpoint while weighing environmental impact is a challenge on the horizon as well. One of Brookhaven’s recycling staff suggested Suffolk residents need to be more discerning. Get back to the basics of checking plastic bottles for a number inside a triangular arrow on the bottom and rinse all containers out first. It will help improve the value of the recycled material we are trying to sell in a drastically reduced global market. It’s a good first step. But we need take it one step further. The most direct way we, as individuals, can help provide a solution to the problem is to cut back on our dependency on onetime use items. It’s been said for years, but we truly need to start regularly grabbing a refillable water bottle rather than a disposable. Think about taking up the “hipster” trend of using Mason jars to store food. Go back to old-fashioned, but traditional Pyrex to store leftovers instead of limited-use thin plastic containers. These small changes may seem hard at first, but we have proof it’s possible. Sure, every Suffolk resident balked at the idea of paying 5 cents for a plastic bag at retail stores when the policy was implemented in January. In less than a year, it’s seemed to have had a dramatic effect in changing behaviors. Many shoppers now simply carry their own reusable canvas and plastic bags. Permanent change is necessary if we don’t want to be buried up to our necks in trash on Long Island. Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) has predicted a “garbage crisis” within the next seven to eight years as Brookhaven looks to close its landfill. Let’s be part of the solution, and not the problem. Let’s focus on using reusable products, not recyclable or disposable.

Letters to the editor

September is suicide awareness month It was an honor to attend and speak at The Roaming Hearts Foundation’s inaugural March For Miles event on Saturday, Sept. 15th, at Heckscher Park in Huntington. The foundation was formed to promote mental health and prevent suicide. A sincere thanks to Danielle Peltz for her dedication and leadership in organizing the event, and to all those who participated in making it a remarkable day in memory and honor of the beloved Huntington resident, Miles Kelly, who tragically passed last year due to suicide. As September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, I encourage residents to learn more about this stigma-

tized issue. Taking the lives of more than 40,000 people each year in the United States and ranking as the 10th leading cause of death in the country with rates that have increased by 30 percent in half of all states since 2000, suicide has become a public health crisis. Often misinterpreted as a moral issue, suicide and suicide attempts should be understood as a medical condition, much like that of diabetes or heart disease, deserving of a comprehensive treatment approach. Roaming Hearts Foundation is working to safeguard against this crisis by lifting the stigma associated with mental health conditions that often lead to suicide attempts and suicide and by

raising awareness of existing resources. Creating nonjudgmental environments that foster supportive connections within our homes, schools, workplaces and neighborhoods will empower those silently suffering to reach out for help. By reducing the stigma and offering services, we increase the hope for healing. That is a goal worth fighting for. For more information about their inspiring mission, please check out their website marchformiles.org. Dr. William “Doc” Spencer Suffolk County Legislator 18th District

A poorly engineered economy Many companies are making huge profits by paying their employees wages that are so inadequate that some of them need public assistance just to get by. Today, thousands of workers rely on food stamps, Medicaid and public assistance because they can’t survive on the wages they receive. Meanwhile, 82 percent of the

world’s wealth created last year went to 1 percent of the population. How silly is that? And who pays for the public assistance subsidizing this flow of wealth? We do. The middle class subsidizes the wealthiest companies in the country, while workers struggle to put food on the table. That’s what an engineered economy looks like. In

my view, it’s ridiculous and needs to end. Pay your workers a living wage or pay the public its money back. It’s really simple: If a worker needs $500 in food stamps, you owe us $500. Jerry Reynolds Coram

Social perversion has infected our society

Never have the dark clouds of social perversion infected our society as they have presently. The stench of moral decay permeates the very soul of our society. There is now a malignant movement that is altering the concept of our children’s education which is contrary to our traditional family values. The result being that the federal government is now degrading the quality of our left wing colleges. With this level of mental subversion we now have our innocent lambs becoming structured in social disorder and creating a desire for protest without logic. This is a foundation for revolution. Attack one: Language. There is presently a radical transformation in the concepts of nouns, pronouns and adjectives in language structure. Present progressive change in word recognition is changing established word meaning. Example: Congressman is becoming congressperson, chairman is referred to as chairperson and the neutering of Mrs.

and Miss to an unidentifiable Ms. status. Some more examples are actress being referred to as actor, fireman becomes firefighter, policeman and patrolman become police officer. Our naval seaman identification is lost at sea. Mailman lost in the mail. Are there still basemen in baseball? Football lineman still on the line? Do fisherman still fish? Where is the telephone repairman? As nongendered words continue so does the mental madness in regard to language identification. “Beware, in the ancient city of shinar, confusion in language took place.” — Genesis 11:4-9. Attack two: Medical reconstruction. Changing a person’s physical structure is contrary to the laws of deity to satisfy immoral sexual desire. Attack three: Mental stagnation. Hollywood now creates a culture of murder, gun violence and social decay similar to ancient Rome and Greece — making Hollywood the vultures of profit.

Attack four: The Second Amendment. As some medication heals and protects, so do legal weapons in our society. The president, the Supreme Court, the White House and our capital are well protected. Sports arenas, office complexes, court buildings, commercial malls, private retirement homes and many of our entertainment celebrities receive personal protection. Alas our most cherished possessions, our school children, are left to the carnage of death in a gun-free environment. “Society I feel thy sting.” Attack five: The sanctity of the home. When in mortal danger call 911. If you are prepared, personal defense becomes self-defense. Holding your breath for 911 may mean your last breath. As a survivor of the greatest generation, I pray that we return once again and become “One nation under God.” God bless America, Leonard J. Henderson Port Jefferson

Appreciating everybody’s support during Hurricane Florence

T

he emails, text messages and calls came from all over the country. In the days leading up to Hurricane Florence’s arrival in North Carolina, friends and family shared good wishes for my family, who had moved to the Tar Heel State during the summer. Preparing for the storm, we were under the impression that we were leaving the typical path of hurricanes D. None when we moved this far west to of the above Charlotte, which BY DANIEL DUNAIEF is more than 200 miles from the coast. As the tone and urgency to prepare for the hurricane from meteorologists and politicians

reached a peak, people lined up outside supermarkets, waiting to park their cars and navigate their overflowing carts through crowded aisles for their list of must-haves. Clearly, water and bread were on every list, as the shelves at the 24-hour supermarket didn’t have a drop of bottled water. The only remaining bread was a cranberry concoction that sat on an otherwise bare shelf, examined closely perhaps by a desperate shopper and discarded at a rakish angle, a lone bread crumb telling the tale of the hurricane hurry. Gas stations brought the same crowds, as drivers were as anxious as they would be on Long Island to gather fuel before trucks might be delayed and gas lines could grow. People often referred to 1989, when Hurricane Hugo ripped through Charlotte. Two days before the hurricane reached the area, the public schools closed despite the clear skies and the relatively calm winds. Several of the schools transformed into shelters for residents of the city and for those fleeing from

points further east. The day before the storm, a local bank teller told me about a nearby store that received a new water shipment. The parking lot for this rare find was as empty as the shelves were full of fresh water. On the day of the hurricane, the forecast for the area called for squalls and heavy rains through much of the day. We stared outside, judging how far the trees bent over and how hard the sheets of rain were blown into our windows. Did we dare go out, especially when we didn’t know areas of local flooding all that well? I called the local bagel store, where the man who answered the phone said the store planned to remain open through the afternoon. We looked at trees that provide shade for us in a typical day and are homes for all manner of songbirds to see if we could figure out which of our arboreal friends were the most dangerous — and vulnerable — in the storm. Eager to get fresh food and to leave the house before it was impossible, we drove around a few

downed branches to the store, where we made the mistake of shopping when we were hungry and in provision mode. When our teenage children awoke, we triumphantly presented the food. They seemed mildly impressed. We still had electricity until Sunday afternoon, up until the time when we learned that schools would be closed for another day, as trees were removed from the area and power companies restored energy. The calls and emails from outside the state continued to come in, as supportive friends continued to check to see how we were doing. Even as other areas of the state dealt with unprecedented flooding, strong winds and tornadoes, we considered ourselves fortunate only to have lost a few trees and power for a day. As with the response to Hurricane Sandy, our new neighbors in Charlotte offered advice. We may have moved to a fresh environment, but we were heartened by the support from up close and afar in the face of nature’s fury.

Once again, modern medicine surprises us

I

t is disconcerting when the medical community reverses course. They seem to do that every decade or so, as with the purported value of vitamin C, estrogen and so forth. The latest about face, in case you haven’t yet heard, is on the matter of taking baby aspirin. For years we have been urged to take a baby aspirin each day to ward off all sorts of ills: heart attacks, Between strokes, dementia, you and me colorectal cancers BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF and who knows what else. Those tiny pills that can dissolve in seconds against the roof of one’s mouth, or be popped into it, seemed capable of miracles. Now, with a shot heard truly around the

world, an Australian research team at Monash University in Melbourne concluded that not only may aspirin not help, it may in some cases actually harm. The results of their study, which included more than 19,000 people over 4.7 years, were published in three articles this past Sunday in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine and summarized by The New York Times on Monday, and by just about all other major media. The study included whites 70 and older, and blacks and Hispanics 65 and older. Each took 100 milligrams — slightly more than the 81 milligrams of a baby aspirin — or a placebo each day. While doing so did not lower their risks of diseases, it did increase “the risk of significant bleeding in the digestive tract, brain or other sites that required transfusions or admission to the hospital,” according to The Times. So what does all that mean, especially for those already at risk for the conditions aspirin was supposed to protect against? I am going to quote from The Times very carefully here because this can get confus-

ing due to mixed messages. “Although there is good evidence that aspirin can help people who have already had heart attacks or strokes, or who have a high risk that they will occur, the drug’s value is actually not so clear for people with less risk, especially older ones,” wrote reporter Denise Grady. So can aspirin prevent cardiovascular events in people with diabetes, for example, or is the benefit outweighed by the risk of major bleeding? Does dose matter in that heavier people might require more aspirin to be prophylactive? Here’s what the study tells us: Healthy older people should not begin taking aspirin. This will no doubt disappoint Bayer, St. Joseph and others who manufacture the drug. But those who have already been using it regularly should not quit based on these findings, according to Dr. John McNeil, leader of the Australian study. Rather they should talk with their doctors first because the new findings do not apply to those who have already had heart attacks or strokes, which involve blood clots. Aspirin is known to inhibit clotting.

The name of this study is Aspree and it was funded by the National Institute on Aging, along with the National Cancer Institute, Monash University and the Australian government. Bayer supplied the aspirin and placebos but had no other role, according to The Times. The study focuses on preventive medicine, especially how to keep older people healthy longer. It included 16,703 people from Australia and 2,411 from the United States, starting in 2010. Serious bleeding occurred in 3.8 percent of the aspirin group as opposed to 2.7 percent in the placebo group. McNeil does suggest the possibility that aspirin’s protective effect against colorectal cancers might still exist but not show up for a longer time span than the study. The Times article does go on to say that the good doctor, who is 71 and specializes in epidemiology and preventive medicine, does not himself take aspirin. Don’t know what to do? As they say in the commercials, consult your doctor.
