Jack Krieger, the town’s communications director, offered a statement outlining the methodology used to arrive at this new proposal. The supervisor could not be reached for comment.
Last week, the town’s appointed bipartisan redistricting committee disbanded after failing to adopt an official map for the six council districts. Without a recommendation from the committee, the Town Board is now responsible for redrawing the district lines.
possible,” Kornreich said. “Another one that he expressed, which I didn’t happen to agree with, was getting as close to zero [percent deviation] as possible.” The councilmember added, “As long as it’s legal, as long as it’s within the tolerance, that [zero deviation] is just not as important to me. The other criteria are more important.”
Kornreich also addressed the public’s concerns. He said the debate surrounding his district, Council District 1, has been about defending the integrity of communities rather than advancing the interest of a particular party.

“This whole thing of me trying to defend the integrity of my council district was never a political effort,” he said. “It was a bipartisan civic effort. The people who had my back in this were as Republican as they areResidentsDemocrat.”will again have an opportunity to weigh the redistricting plans during a public hearing on Thursday, Sept. 29, at Brookhaven Town Hall. The hearing will begin at 5 p.m.
“Over the course of the last several months, more than a dozen public hearings were held across the town by the Brookhaven Redistricting [Committee] in an open, transparent and public process,” Krieger said. “At these meetings, in emails to the [committee], and in local media, numerous residents, civic associations and community leaders voiced their concerns and opinions as to what newly created districts should include, and what they should not.” The communications director added, “The map that will be voted on includes numerous elements from these suggestions.”
One of the reasons for the outpouring of public resistance throughout the committee hearings was a general fear of dividing communities of interest across political boundaries and consequently diluting their voting power, leading to possible gerrymandering.Kriegerdefended the new map in his statement, arguing that it “reduces the number of hamlets that are split between districts of multiple council members, has substantially equal populations with the least possible deviation, and contains clear and readily identifiable boundaries.” He added, “The map makes only minimal changes to accomplish this, with 90 percent of residents seeing no change in the district in which they live.”
The Town of Brookhaven has released its first proposed map to reapportion the Brookhaven Town Council.
In an exclusive interview, Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) offered some points he raised during his conversation with the supervisor.

While 13 different languages are spoken in the Three Village program, the majority of students speak Spanish and Chinese dialects.
“Student success increases when there is someone at home who is involved in the child’s education,” she said.
Vicenza Graham, director of World Languages, ENL and Library Media Services in the Smithtown school district, said, families in the district also receive an orientation with translation services “in order to help acclimate our newcomers to their new school environment.”
North Shore school districts embrace English language learners
A spokesperson for Harborfields and Elwood school districts said Harborfields has experienced a modest decrease from 3.8% of the student population being ELL students last year to 3.6% this year. In Elwood, the percentage has increased slightly from 6.1% at the end of June to approximately 6.3% at the beginning of this academic year.
“The goal of that was to get the families all together and to have them make connections, but then also giving them a safe space and place to integrate into the community with people there,” she said.

EDUCATION
Students tackling English
Educators have found various ways to help children learn the English language, acclimate to life on Long Island and sometimes include the parents in leisure activities.
In the same district, at the end of last school year, Oldfield Middle School students went on a field trip to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City to learn about aviation and aerospace history on Long Island.
Fun ways to learn
Toward the end of the 2021-22 school year, Harborfields High School’s English language learners visited Stony Brook University where they toured the buildings, lecture halls, student center and library, according to a district press release. The trip allowed students to explore post-secondary education options. While on campus, the high school students also interviewed an SBU student.
Golini said in the Three Village distinct a social event is held for all ELL families in the spring “to provide them with an opportunity to connect with each other and feel a part of the community.”
Whenpopulation.shestarted with the district, she said there was one ENL teacher, who would travel to the different school buildings as the students are spread out throughout the grades and schools. Now there are three instructors, plus additional hours for them to work. When the hours are combined, they are the equivalent of a part-time position for the district.
Kerri Golini, Three Village school district’s director of World Language and English as a New Language, said the ENL population in the district has increased by 21% in the past year.
Depending on their levels, determined by an assessment, the students are either in a cotaught class or general education class where the ENL teacher will be available for support. Children who are less proficient in English will have a stand-alone period for one-on-one with a teacher.“Theway that the state regulations work, their level dictates how many minutes of one-to-one or small group instruction they get strictly in ENL versus how many minutes they get of integrated co-teaching,” Waldbauer said. “They’re not separated from the general population. That was a change over time that the state ed department had made to make sure that there was more inclusivity.”
While the increase of English language learners hasn’t been drastic, districts at times compete with neighboring communities to secure ENL teachers as the number of teachers certified in the field hasn’t kept up with the increase of Waldbauerstudents.saidENL teachers are special and unique people who ensure students are receiving a proper education and any services they need, plus are in touch with parents regularly answering any questions they may have: “They go above and beyond with just instructing the kids.”
New York State guidelines require ELL students to have integrated and stand-alone classes depending on comprehension level. In addition to instruction, there are also opportunities for parents to partake in activities.
Waldbauer said with grant money, the Shoreham-Wading River district was able to have an after-school tutoring program for ENL students from K to 8. Last year there was also a Saturday enrichment program that included field trips for the students and their families who along with the teachers and Waldbauer, visited places such as Quogue Wildlife Refuge and the Long Island Aquarium.
While some districts have seen an increase in ELL students, some have seen a decrease or have remained steady. According to a district spokesperson for the Northport-East Northport school district, the number of ELL students has remained stable. Currently, out of the 4,533 students enrolled in the district, 167 are ELL students, which is approximately 3.7% of the student population.
Currently, these students represent 2% of the district’s overall population.
With COVID-19 restrictions lifted, Golini said the hope is to plan more evening events for the families. She has also worked with teachers to help increase ELL students’ participation in extracurricular activities and sports.
Teachers
The number of English language learners varies from district to district along the North Shore of Western Suffolk County. For example, the New York State Education Department reports on its website more than 1,000 students were English language learners in the Huntington school district in the 2020-21 academic year. The district is listed as having 4,236 students enrolled overall in that same year. In the Middle Country school district, a spokesperson said 639 were enrolled in the ENL program this year out of the 8,534 students attending. Smaller districts such as Cold Spring Harbor had 15 students learning English, with 1,585 students overall in 202021. Port Jefferson had 38 ELL students with an overall enrollment of 962, according to the NYSED website, during the same school year.
“All families go through an orientation when their students are screened,” Golini said. “In the fall we host a parent academy to help families navigate the website, use email to communicate, complete forms requested by the district, [submit] applications for free and reduced lunch, and access the parent portal.”
In the Smithtown school district, in the fall of 2021, Accompsett Middle School students created welcome signs in their native languages. In addition to English, the signs were written in Hebrew, Hungarian, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian.
School districts across the North Shore have experienced an increase in English language learners over the last severalEnglishyears. language learner refers to a student who is age 5 or older and who is learning English as a New Language — formerly known as English as a Second Language. This is an approach in which students who are not native English speakers are mainly taught in English. The respective abbreviated current terms are ELL and ENL.
According to administrators from local districts, while the majority of students enrolled as English language learners are Spanish speaking, other languages spoken are Chinese dialects, Portuguese, Korean, Turkish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Ukrainian and Urdu, the official language of Pakistan. A smaller percentage speak Russian, Haitian Creole, Arabic, languages from India such as Tamil and Telugu and the Iranian Pashto, according to NYSED.
Golini said it’s the district’s “goal to increase parent engagement.”

“We had more ELLs involved in the 3V community this past year than ever before,” sheOthersaid. activities in the district included elementary students visiting the library and high school students touring the Suffolk County Community College campus.
As for studies, Graham said, “Students receive modified work based on their proficiency levels and lesson plans include scaffolded materials with both content and languageNicoleobjectives.”Waldbauer, director of humanities at Shoreham-Wading River school district, said during her five-year tenure as director, the number of students has grown steadily by a few each year. Last year, she said there were 27 students throughout the district, and this year 29. The students represent less than 1.5% of the student
and if you’re over 55 or 60, you should be looking at it,” Clouston said. “Don’t wait until November.”
Based on what’s happening in the county in terms of hospitalizations and deaths, “I don’t think we’re near the end,” said Sean Clouston, associate professor in the Program in Public Health and the Department of Family, Population and Preventive Medicine at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University.
“We’re experiencing a lull in severe hospitalizations and illnesses,” said Dr. Philip Nizza, chief of Infectious Disease at Mather Hospital and attending infectious disease physician at St. Charles Hospital
“There’s a ton of COVID around and not a ton of flu,” he said.
As a rule of thumb, Clouston said people lose about 15% of their antibodies every month, which means that if they are far enough away from their most recent shot, they should give serious consideration to receiving the latest vaccination.

In terms of timing, the flu typically picks up around October, as more students in school contract the virus.
“Let us not become hardened to the deaths and suffering this virus has caused,” Pigott added.
“Neither of those things has happened,” Nizza
While President Joe Biden (D) recently said the pandemic was “over,” and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the World Health Organization, said the “end is in sight,” local health officials suggested the virus remains a threat to area “SARS-CoV-2residents.continues to circulate throughout the world and in Suffolk County, where we are seeing hundreds of new cases each day,” Dr. Gregson Pigott, Suffolk County Commissioner of Health, wrote in an email. “We all need to continue to take this virus seriously and continue to protect our most vulnerable residents, through vaccines, boosters and non-pharmaceutical measures.”
“If you haven’t had [a booster] for a while
“Theco-authored.riskisnotenormous,” said Clouston. The study does add to the information that COVID does “damage to the body and may cause outcomes later on.”
While Clouston said people can get the flu and COVID vaccines at the same time, he understood that some residents would prefer to get them separately.
Doctorsadded.recommend that people stay up to date on their boosters, including new shots from Pfizer and Moderna. These new boosters offer protection against the latest omicron strains, such as ba.5 and ba.275.
Still, Nizza added that he wasn’t “ready to call anything over.” For that to be the case, the population would need herd immunity or people would have had to stop contracting the virus.
On the whole, Clouston believes people should continue to protect themselves in the fall and winter from the flu and COVID.
If people are concerned about their vulnerability or the vulnerability of people with whom they interact, they should also consider getting better masks, such as N95s and KN95s, Clouston added.
Even though Dr. Stacy Eagle, director of psychiatry at Port Jefferson-based St. Charles Hospital, hasn’t seen more severe cases of COVID among patients who have anxiety or depression, she said any type of respiratory illness can be “exacerbated by anxiety.”
HEALTH
If that’s the case, he recommended that people receive their updated COVID shot first, and then get the flu vaccine.
Not so fast.
Vaccination order
To be sure, the types of symptoms from those who contract COVID are more manageable than they were during the worst of the pandemic, some doctors said.

The list of underlying medical conditions that might make COVID worse includes physical inactivity and mood disorders such as depression and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
In broader terms, having more diseases or conditions exacerbates the effect of COVID, doctors said.
In other COVID news last week, a study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease by Pamela Davis, distinguished university professor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, found that older people infected with COVID had a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease within a year than people of the same age who didn’t contract the virus.
The risk of showing Alzheimer’s symptoms climbed to 0.68% from 0.35% in the year after infection, according to a study Davis
With 29 county deaths so far in the month, local doctors urge COVID caution
The county had 29 deaths in September through the 19th, which is more than one death per day attributable to COVID-19. At the same time, the number of people hospitalized with COVID in the county was at 178.
Clouston urged those who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity or asthma to take steps to protect their health.

Nizza said he planned to get the flu shot in late October.

tributaries that flow into the Sound.
Almost every year since 2009, Christie said, more and more yachters and fishermen are seeing marine mammals in local waters.
Healthier ecosystems
After a long history of decline, Christie explained that forage fish such as menhaden or bunker and alewife, both in the herring family, have returned to spawn in the many freshwater

Montello and DiGiovanni also praise the Clean Water Act for improving marine habitats. But, with humpbacks near extinction in 1972, another bold act of Congress that year also deserves credit for reviving the whale population.
“The turnaround is miraculous,” Christie said.
To report whale sightings, contact: Atlantic Marine Conservation Society at www.amseas. org/reportsighting; Gotham Whale at www. gothamwhale.org/citizen-science; The Maritime Aquarium, Norwalk at 203-852-0700.
Since 2015 whale counts, predominantly humpbacks but also minke whales, have been ramping up. The aquarium’s annual whale counts range from no sightings at all, to one per year, up to as many as a half dozen or more.
While boating alone just outside of Port Jefferson Harbor over the Labor Day holiday, South Setauket resident Bill Doherty had what he called a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. First, a big splash caught his eye. Then, another.
The aquarium’s observations, he noted, are consistent with the findings of other researchers. A Staten Island-based research organization Gotham Whale, for instance, documented in 2011 three whales and five sightings. Recently, the number was up to more than 260. The whale population has become so bountiful around the mouth of New York Harbor, Gotham Whale now coordinates research expeditions with the public in conjunction with five commercial whale watching vessels.
A big yacht and another passing boat, he said, cut their engines nearby so the passengers could enjoy the Whalespectacle.sightings, as unlikely as it might seem, are becoming more regular events in the New York area, including the Long Island Sound.
Humpbacks, she said, are baleen whales — they have no teeth. To capture its prey, it swallows and strains seawater through the long and narrow strips of fingernail-like material called baleen that grows out of its jaw. Through this feeding process, it consumes krill, plankton and small fish, such as menhaden.
stream of bunker stretches from Montauk to the New York Bight. Consequently, whales are more abundant there and traveling closer to shore and staying in the area longer.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration advises boaters to stay 300 feet away from any large whales. That’s so you don’t hit them, but also so they don’t breach onto your boat. Best thing to do if you see a whale is to cut your engine, get out your camera and enjoy.
For 15 to 20 minutes, Doherty watched in amazement as the whale put on a show spouting and breaching in the water about a mile off Old Field Point. He recorded it on a cellphone video just so he could prove to his friends this was no joke.
In fact, researchers from the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society, when conducting aerial surveys, track whales by following menhaden movement.Some15 years ago, they saw few clusters or bait balls of menhaden along Long Island’s southern coastline. Today, Rob DiGiovanni, the society’s chief scientist, said a continuous
If you are lucky enough to spot a whale, scientists want to hear from you with photos. Like human fingerprints, whales bear distinct characteristics on their tails. Gotham Whale has an extensive and growing archive of these tail shots. Through such photos, researchers there have been able to identify and track the activities of 269 individual whales, according to Paul Sieswerda, Gotham Whale’s executive director.
After viewing Doherty’s cellphone video, she quickly identified that whale as a humpback. It’s huge pectoral fins, visible as the creature leaped out of the sea, made it easy to distinguish.
“It’s taken fish populations more than 30 and up to 50 years to rebound,” Christie said. “We’re seeing not only more whales, but also more Atlantic white-sided dolphin, more seals, more sharks and further down the food chain more sand eels and herring.”
Scientists praise the Clean Water Act for improving water quality to protect marine habitats. The landmark environmental law, passed in 1972, regulates pollutants from agriculture, industry and wastewater to prevent or limit discharges into waterways.
Today, people are armed with cameras and spreadsheets instead of harpoons, and more interested in spearheading marine restoration projects that aim to protect rather than slaughter these giant marine mammals.
Barrett Christie is director of animal husbandry at The Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Conn. His team has been tracking whale activity in the Sound since the museum opened in 1988.
This law prohibits hunting, capturing, collecting, harassing or killing marine mammals such as whales, dolphins, seals and manatees.
Whale sightings on the rise in local waters
“It would be interesting to find out if whales — our New York City whales — are the same ones traveling through the Sound,” he said.
Whaling once was one of Long Island’s most important commercial industries, according to the Cold Spring Harbor-based Whaling Museum with Cold Spring Harbor, Greenport and Sag Harbor serving as the Island’s three whaling ports.
“I would say that the Marine Mammal Protection Act has really changed the game for marine mammals,” Montello said. “This act has provided great protection and awareness of these charismatic species.”

“I kept my eye on the water thinking it could be a boat accident or something,” he said. “I undid the anchor to get a little closer — but not too close — and realized it was a whale.”

Kornreich also recognized the festival as a cause for celebration. He described the invaluable contributions of Asian Americans and their steadfast commitment to building a stronger community.
Dragon boats were back in the water during the 8th annual Port Jefferson Dragon Boat Race Festival on Saturday, Sept. 17.
“The Asian American population here in our area is growing,” he said. “They have a huge presence and enrich our community so much with their culture and with their friendship, as with their dedication to the community.” He added, “They’re an amazing group of people, and we’re just excited to enjoy this day with them.”
A total of 23 teams participated in the boat races. Among the organizations represented in the dragon boat competition were Stony Brook University, Suffolk County Police Asian Jade Society, Mather and St. Charles hospitals, and club teams from as far as New York City, among others.
Several dance and choral groups gave moving performances throughout the day. These often paid homage to the cultural and linguistic traditions of the performers.
The East Setauket-based LI Youth Development Inc., or LIYD, is a nonprofit organization founded in 2021. The organization is dedicated to supporting the community youth through extracurricular programs. LIYD instructors host weekly sessions to reinforce these skills regularly.
“I’m excited to see our friends here, especially my friends from Long Island Youth Development and the Chinese School at Stony Brook,” he said. “We are excited to enjoy the awakened spirit of Port Jeff Harbor for another year.”
Dragon boat festival returns to Port Jeff
said. “It’s a tremendous amount of organizing, not only with the teams … but all of this entertainment. It’s wonderful to see this all going well, flawlessly and without a hitch.”

“This is six months in the making,” Ransome
This year was Kassay’s first dragon boat festival. For her, the event was an opportunity to celebrate the community’s rich culture and diverse people. “I am so delighted to see so many people come out, the diversity of people here, and the enthusiasm of everyone here for this cultural event on Port Jefferson Harbor,” Kassay said.
EDITOR1@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
“It was a beautiful moment to dot the eyes and tongue and forehead of the dragon,” she said. “You feel connected with the people around you, and I think that’s something we’re missing these days. To be a part of something where you’re connecting with others is really special.”
Barbara Ransome, the chamber director of operations, said dozens of community organizations and business groups participated during the event, bringing together hundreds more community members.

Jonathan Kornreich (D-Stony Brook) also made an appearance. He seemed overjoyed by the festival’s sizable turnout and the many people he encountered throughout the day.
“We started as a way to help teach kids around our communities about different topics and subjects,” said LIYD member Luke Hou. “For
example, we have a bunch of different clubs inside of LIYD that each teach their own thing, like tennis club, art club, music club and so on.”
The day kicked off with the ceremonial “Dotting of the Eyes.” During this ritual, team captains and local officials painted a dragon head. Among them was Port Jeff village trustee Rebecca Kassay, who described the rush of this ceremonial gesture.
Town of Brookhaven Councilmember
David Wu, one of Hou’s team members, discussed how the lessons of teamwork and cooperation learned from the dragon boat competition harmonize with LIYD’s organizational principles. “Although this is our first year competing, through the practices it has been pretty fun,” he said.
Sponsored by The Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, this event is a way to foster community togetherness. It also serves to promote Asian and Asian American culture and customs.

With the clock running down in the fourth quarter, Port Jeff sophomore quarterback Ryan Filippi rolled out to hit Ciaran Laffey, who found the endzone to tie the game 12-12 with 1:10 left in regulation. The difference in the game would be the Royals’ kicker, Daniel Owens, who split the uprights on the point after kick to put the Royals ahead 13-12.

Midway through the second quarter, Mount Sinai’s senior quarterback Jaden Rotella threw over the middle to receiver Christopher Paz for the score. However, the Mustangs tried unsuccessfully to run the ball in for a twopoint conversion, missing an opportunity to take the lead.
Despite not being at full strength, Mount Sinai attacked the Port Jeff secondary on the final possession. But the Royals held off this late game surge, securing the win.
The Mustangs’ passer-receiver duo scored again early in the third quarter, with Paz catching a 10-yarder from Rotella for the score. But again, the Mustangs missed the two-point conversion,

Kudos to TBR News Media for its recent editorial, “Sustainability starts in our own backyard” [Sept. 1]. As the condition of the planet continues to deteriorate, sustainability has to become an overarching priority for our and other societies of the world if we are going to successfully stem and ultimately reverse the global decline of our shared global environment. The editorial rightly recognizes that each of us can play a part by embracing sustainable lifestyle choices and activities, and not just relying on government, institutions and businesses to lead the way toward a sustainableUnfortunately,future. by including, “Conservation practices require us to make individual sacrifices,” the editorial perpetuates the widely held and strongly negative misperception that conservation means sacrifice. While a few actions to promote conservation might require some personal sacrifice, the great majority of sustainable actions have the opposite impact: They promote the emotional, physical and financial well-being of the individual and require no sacrifice at all.

I tried to get my brain working as a car drew up and out stepped Prince Charles, his male friend and the driver. We toured the 17th-century mansion and I showed the prince our collection of priceless Dutch Delft ceramics and some good Dutch paintings. He was very knowledgeable and seemed genuinely interested. Half my brain was thinking, “His mother has much better collections at home, but keep going.”
For example, is it really a sacrifice to install LED lightbulbs in place of much higher energy-consuming incandescent bulbs? Not from a financial perspective since they last much longer than oldfashioned incandescents and save significant energy resulting in reduced energy bills and they benefit the planet by requiring much less electricity, power generated by the burning of fossil fuels. Or how about regularly using reusable grocery
Highgrove. Prince Charles has a ‘chum’ staying who wants to visit Dyrham. You and I are the only two on the property who can take them round. It is totally informal and they may not stay long.”
Borne out by overwhelming collective evidence regarding lifestyles, environmental sustainability rarely requires sacrifice. What is required? Awareness of the environmental impact of each and every lifestyle decision we make and a desire to reduce or eliminate that impact.
bags instead of one-use plastic bags? Nope. Or how about shutting off the water while you’re brushing your teeth? Sacrifice here? Na. Or keeping the air pressure in your car tires at the proper level, thereby helping your car’s mpg? Another no. Rejecting the bag into which the store clerk wants to put the one item you just bought? No way.
I read with great interest longtimefriend John Broven’s article, “Goodbye Queen Elizabeth II, arise King Charles III” [TBR News Media, Sept. 15].
How about another popular example? Cutting your lawn. Most homeowners shun the idea of letting grass clippings lay on the grass thinking they’re sacrificing a beautiful and healthy lawn. Yet, many studies document the benefits of taking the mower bag off and letting the clippings recycle back into the lawn to provide moisture and nutrients — it’s a stubborn myth that clippings add to the formation of thatch as they don’t. Leaving clippings on your lawn is sustainable: Less garbage needing to be burned or buried (creating methane, a potent greenhouse gas); less water and fertilizer needed for the lawn as the clippings quickly decompose (saving money); and less time devoted to mowing the lawn. Again, no sacrifice.
While this new map signals progress for the residents of Council District 1, our work is unfinished. This map still splits Comsewogue School District unnecessarily. As this redistricting process enters the home stretch, let’s remember how we got here.

Redistricting: a lesson in community solidarity
Personal sacrifice or promoting well-being
I once worked at a National Trust property, Dyrham Park, which is near Highgrove, the home of Prince Charles. On a closed day about 2005 I arrived for work and was met by the property manager. “You can’t go home and change or have your hair done, I’ve just had a call from
Advocacy work unfinished for Brookhaven redistricting
Editorial
When we speak with one voice, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. The Town Board will hold a public hearing on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 5 p.m. On that day, we must tell our elected representatives to bring our neighbors back into CD1. For the betterment of our community, let’s finish our work to the bitter end. No Comsewogue family can be left behind.
The Town Board’s new map looks promising for most Comsewogue residents, but not all. Under this plan, the dividing line between CD1 and CD2 is Pine Street, meaning Comsewogue families in the school district east of Pine will belong to Council District 2.
Many thanks to TBR News Media, my neighbors and business constituents in “One 1776” for their dedication to calling out the attempts to crack Council District 1.
Building upon our successes, we should remember we are not alone in this cause. The Mount Sinai activists were equally triumphant in preventing the splitting of their hamlet. And in CD4, our neighbors in Coram and Gordon Heights continue to fight apparent attempts to gerrymander that area.

The property manager and I looked at each other and had the same thought: Did that really happen? She said, “I’m not a monarchist, but he’s really rather nice.” And he was. Rare ceramics, Dutch paintings, horticultural diseases, church architecture … the prince’s knowledge was amazing — and he was totally charming. As King Charles III, I know he will be fine.
A ‘prince charming’ letter from England
The Town Board has a 6-1 Republican majority, and must adopt a new map by Dec. 15. How we proceed over the coming weeks could impact Brookhaven elections over the next 10 years.
At the outset, powerful and unknown forces sought to crack Council District 1, targeting Port Jefferson Station and Terryville which share a school district, zip code, library, civic association and chamber of commerce. The original draft maps proposed cutting this hamlet in two, dividing our residents across different council districts. If adopted, these plans could have caused a diversion of public resources away from our area and disrupted years of progress — and future plans — made by our residents.
After months of controversy, the Town of Brookhaven’s redistricting process is nearing completion. Earlier this week, the town released its latest proposal to reapportion its six council districts.
It still has teeth marks like a critter gnawing away at neighborhoods in the Comsewogue School District off of Pine Street. Folks in CD1 and CD4 cannot rest. Advocacy looks like a tired, middleaged parent who leaves work early, skips dinner and speaks up. The next Town Board meeting on this topic is Thursday, Sept. 29, at Town Hall, 5 p.m.
The old redistricting maps by the politically lopsided committee were bad, as were the mapmaker and counsel. Constituents have made a dent, however. A map just out from the Town of Brookhaven Supervisor’s [Ed Romaine (R)] office moves in the right direction.
The people of Port Jefferson Station/Terryville and beyond presented an overwhelming, unified front — a force too large to be ignored. Confronted by such stark opposition, the redistricting committee had little choice but to acquiesce to the community’s demands, restoring the boundaries of Council District 1 to their previous form.

We assumed after the mansion he would depart but, no, “Have you got cellars?” he asked. Yes, we have cellars and so we descended the slippery stairs to view them. “Have you roof spaces?” Yes, we have roof spaces. We all achieved the steep ascent and returned to earth. “Oh, the garden, we must see the garden.” I dared to mention tulips, which I knew the prince liked, and found myself in a lengthy in-depth talk about the tulip fire disease. Another part of my brain was saying, “This is surreal,” when the prince spotted our 13th-century church. “Is it open?” It was open so round we went. I was wondering if he would ask to climb the tower when the driver began to look pointedly at his watch. “Yes, we must go, we have taken up a lot of your time,” the prince said. Back at the car he thanked us profusely, shook hands and drove away.
Seeing that our interests were at stake, the people took action. Civic organizations and business groups mobilized the troops, sending members to public hearings to resist these plans. Many spread the word by writing letters to the editor, which appeared on this page. And our hometown paper regularly covered the issue and vigorously editorialized on behalf of our districts.
This year’s redistricting controversy has brought our community together. It has demonstrated the power of civic and business groups in coordinating their efforts. It has taught us there is strength in unity. It has also illustrated the dynamic interplay between a community and a community newspaper.

Will I be as cavalier about relaxing precautions? No, I don’t think so. It is possible to get it again, and I REALLY don’t want it again. I will get the next booster when I am eligible, I will continue to wear a mask regardless of what those around me are doing, and I will limit my dining, to the extent possible, to the great outdoors.

I pictured a younger version of me, sitting with the group, staring, open-mouthed at the enthusiasm with which all of us, me included, counted our doctors and the reason we needed them.
“I went to my parents’ house in New Hampshire and ran over five miles on an uneven road. The next day, I could barely move. I have to rest it for six weeks,” he said.
In Episode Three, a man in his 30s walked his dog, limping along with a supportive black boot on his leg. Another man (me) appeared, pulled along by his oversized dog.
I nodded and wished him a speedy recovery.
In Episode One, we have two college friends who shared a room for several years, who sweated through a spectacularly hot summer in Boston with no air conditioning, and who, over the decades, visited each other’s homes with and without our wives
The good-natured man smiled and said he thought he had shin splints from running, but discovered he had a hairline fracture that required several weeks of rest in a boot.
“I have the best GI guy, who gave me a great colonoscopy. I had such a nice rest while I was under anesthesia,” I said.

“We’ve had two million cases reported over the last 28 days, and we know underreporting is substantial,” Dr. Michael T.

He continued that COVID-19 was the No. 4 cause of death in theManycountry.ofus were feeling what Biden was expressing. Yes, we have vaccines and medicines now that successfully hold the pathogen at bay, and most people have every expectation of recovering. Nonetheless, it has been a dreaded disease, especially for those of a certain age or with underlying conditions. With me, it started as a little dry cough throughout the afternoon, hardly noticeable. By nightfall, the cough had deepened and a headache began. The next day, the miserable irritation at the back of the throat started. By the end of the day, my temperature

They called me in for THE test, and when it was positive, they gave me three options. I could go to the Emergency Room and get an infusion of monoclonal antibodies, which would take an hour (not including the inevitable wait.) They could phone in a prescription for paxlovid, and I could take three pills in the morning, then three at night, for five days. They spelled out the side effects of both treatments, which didn’t sound too cheerful. Or I could just monitor the situation, drinking plenty of liquids, taking some Tylenol and see how it goes.

“I’ve had kidney stones, so I have a urologist,” I offered, as if I were recounting trophies on a shelf or comparing the number of friends I have with someone else in fourth grade rather than recalling a specialist who helped me deal with excruciating agony.
That takes us to Episode Two. Imagine, if you will, a group of older adults, representing the 50ish and the 80ish generation, chatting in person together.“Have you been to the doctor recently?” one of the people “Whichasked.one?For what?” a second one replied.

caught me. After two and a half years of bobbing and weaving, trying to elude the virus, I finally have been felled. It’s like being shot on the last day of the war. I did all the right things. I avoided crowds, driving back from my South Carolina vacation at the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020 instead of using my return plane ticket. I stopped going to the opera and to Broadway shows in New York City. I didn’t eat in restaurants, even after they reopened, for fear of who might be harboring pathogens at the next table. We closed the office to all but those with appointments. We ordered masks for the staff by the dozens and hand sanitizer by the gallon. We practiced social distancing at the bank, that is, before the bank closed its doors and moved away.
“My knee is sore,” I added, “but I think that’s from compensating for my hip.”

“I hope you feel better soon,” I offered as we got off the phone.
Decades ago, when I spoke with my friends, we discussed our activities, ambitions and plans. We might have complained about our bosses, described a business trip, shared an encounter with a stranger on a plane or train, or described our frustrations with our favorite sports teams.
