Jewelry Appraisals

Town starting farmers market BY ALEX PETROSKI

Brookhaven Town residents interested in eating fresh and healthy while supporting local agriculture are likely rejoicing. Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), alongside Long Island Farm Bureau president, Karl Novak, announced during a press conference June 7 Brookhaven will be holding a weekly farmers market in the south parking lot of Town Hall in Farmingville every Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. until Oct. 25. The market will feature fresh produce and much more from Long Island vendors Deer Run Farms of Brookhaven hamlet, Waterdrinker Family Farm in Manorville, Bakewicz Farms in Wading River and Sannino Vineyard in Peconic, though more vendors are expected to participate in coming weeks. “We love farmers — we want to encourage farming,” Romaine said. “We want to make sure that farming survives as part of Brookhaven and Long Island, and what better way than to have a farmers market to allow people access to fresh food grown here on the farm.” Novak thanked Romaine and the town board for their commitment to promoting local agriculture and creating a healthy business environment. “What could be a better testament to town government and business working together,” he said. “Buy local, buy ‘grown on Long Island.’”

PSEG: Mylar balloons can cause local power outages June 25th-July 27th

The next couple of months are packed with celebrations, including high school and college proms and graduations. When planning any outdoor festivities, PSEG Long Island urges customers to think carefully about how they handle Mylar balloons. Though they can make a party more festive, Mylar balloons can also cause power outages when they get loose and come in contact with electrical equipment. The distinctive metallic coating on Mylar balloons conducts electricity. Because of this, when a Mylar balloon comes in contact with a power line, it can cause a short circuit. This short circuit can lead to power outages, fires and possible injuries. To reduce the risk of outages and injuries, residents should keep the following safety tips in mind: • Mylar balloons and other decorations should be kept away from overhead power lines and all utility equipment. • Make sure balloons are secured to a weight that is heavy enough to prevent them from floating away. Keep balloons tethered and attached to the weights at all times. • Always dispose of Mylar balloons by safely puncturing the balloon in several

METRO/CREATIVE CONNECTIONS

places to release the helium that otherwise could cause the balloon to float away. • Never touch a power line. Do not attempt to retrieve a balloon, toy or other type of debris that is entangled in an overhead power line. Call PSEG Long Island to report the problem at 800-490-0075 so crews can remove the item safely. For more kite and balloon safety tips visit www.psegliny.com/page.cfm/home/ safety/kiteandballoon.

Tesla Science Center’s new historic status will help it into the future BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

TBR NEWS MEDIA

With close to 9,500 letters signed from all over the world in support, the Wardenclyffe property in Shoreham, home to 20thcentury inventor and scientist Nikola Tesla’s last standing laboratory, was approved for state historical status June 7. “From all over the world people responded to us, including individuals, organizations and public officials — it’s really cool,” said Jane Alcorn, president of the board of directors of the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe. “We’re hoping that since it was a unanimous

decision on the part of New York State that [the federal review board] will look upon all of that favorably, as well as [recognize] we had so many national and international supporters.” The historic review board at New York State Historic Preservation Office voted unanimously to recommend the property to the state historic register. Jennifer Betsworth, a historic preservation specialist for the state preservation department, said the review board members were enthusiastic to see the application before they even received it. “They were all excited to see this coming forward,” Betsworth said of the board member’s feelings. “It’s been one of these properties that people have known about for some time, and everyone wanted to see it [have] a positive future.” The state review board forwarded the application to the federal historical review board under the National Park Service, whose review process should take one to two months. Betsworth said that while the federal review board often looks favorably on New York applications, there is no guarantee it will be accepted. To prove the case for historic preservation, a historic architect consultant was hired to document the land and its legacy. The Tesla Science Center board members spent a month crafting a 92-page document that went

TOWN Pop-up wedding chapel to commemorate same-sex marriage decision

GARY GUDZIK

Wedding bells will be in the air at a Port Jeff park to commemorate a groundbreaking day in American history. The Rev. Gary Gudzik of the Chapel of St. Valentine and Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant will be hosting a marriage event at Harborfront Park in Port Jefferson June 26 from 4 to 8 p.m. The date was chosen to honor the third anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states, although the event will be open to all interested couples. Gudzik will be officiating and Garant will be co-officiating the ceremonies for any couples that choose to attend. “It was a no-brainer,” Garant said of her interest in participating. “I feel like we need some good news in this world and Port Jefferson is a place where everyone can come and celebrate.” The event will feature individual ceremonies by appointment as well as group vow renewals. All ceremonies will be open to the public. Gudzik is an ordained Christian minister who grew up in Port Jefferson and graduated from Earl L. Vandermeulen High School in 1989. He is the vicar, or bishop’s deputy, of the Chapel of St. Valentine in Mount Sinai. He was ordained in 2014 and has officiated nearly 100 ceremonies. According to its website, the Chapel of

St. Valentine is LGBTQ friendly “because we believe that all people have the right to marry the person they love. Period.” “I love being a part of the happiest day in someone’s life,” Gudzik said. “It’s a special moment when you can pronounce two people married.” The 2015 decision produced strong reactions on both sides of the ideological spectrum. “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family,” Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote on the historic decision. “In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. … It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. … They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.” The decision was passed in a 5-4 ruling, and established the rights of same sex-couples in the United States, though many states had passed laws prior to 2015. Anyone who is interested in reserving an individual ceremony can contact Gudzik at 631-406-9757, or visit the link www.chapelofsaintvalentine.org, though they do anticipate to be able to accommodate walk-ups as well.

Tips and tricks when handling ticks BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

for the dual purpose of rejuvenating the local quail population while curbing the rising tick problem, which gets worse every year with a lack of natural predators. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the number of illnesses related to ticks, mosquitos and fleas have tripled from 2004 to 2016, with 69,313 diseases reported from ticks in New York state in that time. In 2013, the CDC estimated that nationally there were 300,000 cases of Lyme disease annually, which is carried by deer tick. Brosdal’s daughter Erika suffered through the pains of Lyme disease when she was 13 years old. As a father, watching his daughter lay in pain on the couch was heartbreaking. “She couldn’t breathe,” Brosdal said. “It affected her so terribly – she was an A-grade student until that happened, and then she had to read everything twice. I give her a lot of credit — she’s 44 now and has two master’s degrees and she’s a high school psychologist.” Brosdal said the quails have an important job to do and “can do a lot of good.” Powers said multiple schools participate in his program and will release the quails in parks all over Long Island. If any school or group is interested in raising quails, Powers can be contacted through www.yc2n.com.

According to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, over 900 calls were received from people seeking advice from its tick helpline in 2017. If a tick is found on your body, there are ways to safely remove it: • Tweezers are the best tool and should be placed as close to the skin as possible — grabbing the tick’s head. • Pull upward with a slow and steady motion and try to avoid breaking the tick in half. If the head snaps off, know disease transmission is not possible without the entire body. • Disinfect the bit area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water and contact a physician. Consider placing the tick in a baggie or pill vial. • Pay attention to your health in the weeks following. There are also ways to reduce your exposure, like checking for ticks daily, especially under the arms, in and around the ears, inside the belly button, behind the knees or between legs and on the hairline and scalp. Remove and dry clothing on high heat as soon as possible to kill ticks. They can’t be drowned by washing. You can create a tick-safe yard by mowing frequently and keeping leaves raked. Also be sure to treat dogs and cats. One tick can carry multiple pathogens. Deer ticks or blacklegged ones have no white markings, are brown or black in color and are very, very small. Both nymph and adult stages can transmit diseases like Lyme and babesiosis. For more information on handling and treating ticks or for a free removal kit visit www.eastendtickresource.org or call the helpline at 631-726-TICK (8425).

His Eagle Scout project was to refurbish the pond in the courtyard of Mount Sinai Elementary, which required the removal of shrubs, weeds, poison ivy, stones and rocks for cleaning; replacement of the lining; replanting of landscaping; and the installation of a new water pump. More than 30 people, including Scouts, friends and family, helped complete the project over two days. The courtyard is the site of several events and classes during the year. “Trevor is an outstanding young man who sets a good example for his peers to follow,” Bonner said. “Scouts are leaders of tomorrow,

During the visit, the students viewed items created using a 3-D printer and learned how it can be used to print almost anything. The students also saw two of Maritato’s robots perform various tasks, like dancing. Durimng his presentation, Maritato encouraged the students to always use their imagination and stressed the importance of studying the STEM subjects.

Students learned that relying on various sources of strength is more powerful than relying on just one, like mental health, medical access, spirituality, generosity, healthy activities, mentors, positive friends and family support. Students also lined the hallways with posters of their sources of strength, like music, gaming, sports, biking, family and friends.

SWR SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Miller Place School District was honored by the nonprofit National Association of Music Merchants Foundation with its 2018 Best Communities for Music Education Award for the third consecutive year. Less than 10 percent of school districts nationwide received the prestigious award in 2018. “Our artistic faculty pours hours of dedication and talent into creating and building upon the district’s outstanding fine arts curriculum, including music, art and drama,” Superintendent Marianne Cartisano said. “This recognition is a well-deserved tribute to the dedication, diligence, passion and excellence of our students, our music department and our community.” Best Communities for Music Education is awarded to districts that demonstrate

outstanding achievement in effort to provide music access and education to all students. To qualify for the distinction, the district answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas. “Music education is essential to students growingintowell-roundedindividuals,scholars and good citizens,” said Miller Place High School Principal Kevin Slavin. “A strong musical background supports students’ creative problem-solving abilities and teamwork while providing the skills necessary to excel both inside and outside the classroom.”

TOWN Sharing smiles over ice pops: Frankie’s Freezer soothes cancer center ‘When I had mouth sores, I had to tell my dad right away, because I knew they would get worse if I didn’t treat them right. Sometimes using other stuff would make [the pain] worse, so I would usually eat ice pops.’

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

— Delaney Unger

KYLE BARR

For the young cancer patients at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, one of the worst side effects from chemotherapy, beyond the pain and the nausea, is mouth sores. The best way to soothe the pain, according o 12-year-old cancer survivor Delaney Unger, is with ice pops. “When I had mouth sores, I had to tell my dad right away, because I knew they would get worse if I didn’t treat them right,” Delaney said. “Sometimes using other stuff would make [the pain] worse, so I would usually eat ice pops.” Stony Brook Children’s Hospital announced Thursday it would be taking part in the nonprofit American Childhood Cancer Organization’s Take a Pop, Share a Smile campaign that donates a lifetime supply of freezer pops to hospitals for its cancer patients. The hospital will receive a total of 2,000 ice pops to start, and the ACCO will keep the freezer consistently stocked every year. To hold the new bounty of ice pops is a new freezer named Frankie’s Freezer, which was dedicated in memory of Francis “Frankie” Antonawich, a 25-year-old who died in February from Hodgkin lymphoma before he could realize his dream of becoming a pediatric oncology nurse. “I think he would have been thrilled about this, because he really loved kids,” Antonawich’s mother and assistant director of nursing at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Lynn Antonawich, said. “He not only felt that he could help a child, but also the parents of those children who would feel helpless.” His father, Frank Antonawich, told an audience of Girl Scouts and families at a press conference May 3, trying to hold back tears, that the disease never stopped his son. “Frank was a very active young man — it never stopped him going to work, going to the gym — he even continued to volunteer as a wrestling coach at his alma mater, St. John the Baptist Parish,” he said. Stony Brook Children’s Hospital pediatric nurse specialist Lisa Rendina, who had worked with the family before and during Frankie Antonawich’s treatment, decided she wanted to get involved and contacted the ACCO, which donated the freezer too.

Clockwise from above, cancer survivors Aubri Krauss, Erin Ersoy and Delaney Unger enjoy ice pops from the Stony Brook Children’s Hospital’s new freezer; Frankie’s Freezer, filled with a lifetime supply of ice pops from the American Childhood Cancer Organization, was named in honor of the Antonawichs’ son Frankie, below right, who died from Hodgkin lymphoma in February. cHusband and wife Frank and Lynn Antonawich, assistant director of nursing at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, below left, with pediatric nurse specialist Lisa Rendina during the freezer’s unveiling. “As a mother, my heart broke for Lynn, and I wanted to do something to honor Frankie,” she said. “We just wanted to bring Frankie’s story to life.” Rendina is the leader of Girl Scout Troop 105. Her troop, along with other members from Girl Scouts Service Unit 45 from Centereach, attended the unveiling. Scouts wrote inspirational phrases all over the freezer like “No one fights alone” and “The one who falls and gets up is so much stronger than the one who never fell.” The event also honored three cancer survivors from Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, including Delaney, 12-year-old Erin Ersoy and 10-year-old Aubri Krauss, all of whom are Girl Scouts from Centereach. The parents of the three girls agreed that ice pops were one of the simplest ways to deal with the mouth sores, while also aiding in hydration and nutrition.

“I remember what happened with my daughter and mouth sores, it was terrible,” said Delaney’s father Berk Unger of his daughter who finished her final treatment last August. “Ice pops were the only thing that helped.” Lynn Antonawich said her son was in such severe pain following a stem cell transplant that he couldn’t eat. “They were thinking of tube feeding him,” she said. “And he was a 24-year-old man. I couldn’t imagine what the pain must be like for a kid.” Those who work in the children’s hospital said one of the most important things young patients need is to feel like their lived are as normal as possible. “Anything helps,” Lynn Antonawich said. “From donations of gifts, such as iPads and game systems, they are able to take part in a more normal life like they would at home.”

‘It’s a great feeling to be playing with the best players on Long Island — I really enjoyed it.’ — George Rainer

Clockwise from above, Mount Sinai’s George Rainer drives the ball deep into the outfield; Rocky Point’s Joe Grillo fires a pitch; Grillo connects with a pitch; and Ward Melville’s Logan Doran rounds a base.

Grillo, Rainer stand out in prospects game loss BY BILL LANDON A two-run eighth inning helped Nassau County tie the game and earn the wouldbe go-ahead run over Suffolk in a 5-4 Blue Chip Prospect Grand Slam Challenge win June 8 at St. Joseph’s College. With the game tied 3-3, Garden City’s Mike Handal’s RBI gave Nassau the lead, and a Suffolk error brought in the eventual game-winning run in the 14th annual game sponsored by Rawlings, proceeds from which will benefit the Cohen Children’s Northwell Health Physician Partners Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics center in New Hyde Park.

Nassau 5 Suffolk 4

St. John the Baptist catcher Logan O’Hoppe hit the ball deep to right, which scored Rocky Point pitcher and outfielder Joe Grillo from second, but Locust Valley’s Thomas Eletto forced a groundout with two runners on to earn the save. “It was a lot of fun playing tonight with all these kids,” said Ward Melville second baseman Logan Doran, who committed to Division I George Washington University. “I’m excited about competitive baseball. I’m ready to go.” Doran proved that when he cleanly fielded a ball rocketed in the dirt, and passed it to short stop Kyle Johnson who turned a double play with bases loaded to retire the side and keep Suffolk up 1-0 in the second. Johnson, who will continue his baseball career with Stony Brook University, said he’s been in awe of all the effort and commitment that goes into putting together the event for senior elites. “This game’s awesome — Blue Chip; Jim Clark, who put this together years ago — it shows how [talented] Long Island is,” the soon-to-be Newfield grad said. “You’ve seen the guys this year that got drafted and a lot of those guys played in this game, so it’s an honor to be out here.” Suffolk made it a two-run lead in the top of the third when West Islip outfielder Jake Guercio crossed home plate for the second time. And Suffolk’s hitting didn’t stop there. Johnson stole second just ahead of a tag with Brentwood’s Justin Aviles in the batter’s box, but Aviles’ grounder toward third was thrown home in time to get Doran for the second out. Grillo smacked the ball deep to right next to load the bases, but Suffolk couldn’t capitalize on the chance.

Plainview JFK’s Ryan Saltzman hit a sacrifice fly to put Nassau on the board in the bottom of the inning, and Plainedge’s Jason Bottari did the same to make it a new game. With no outs in the fourth, Newfield pitcher Bobby Vath hit into a double play, but Sayville’s Jake Russo raced home from third in time to help Suffolk retake the lead. The team looked to build on its lead in the top of the fifth when Mount Sinai third baseman George Rainer took four consecutive pitches at the plate to draw a walk, but two straight strikeouts ended the inning. “It’s a great feeling to be playing with the best players on Long Island — I really enjoyed it,” said Rainer, who signed a letter of intent to play at Rensselaer

Polytechnic Institute. “It was a great day to end my varsity baseball career. I had a lot of fun and I can’t wait to see what college has in store.” Harborfields pitcher Gavin Buda, the only athlete chosen to play in both Blue Chip Prospects games — the Grand Slam Challenge and Empire Challenge football game — took over the mound in the bottom of the fifth and retired the side in order. “It’s a huge honor to be chosen [for both],” said the Hobart and William Smith Colleges-bound wide receiver. “When you look at a school like Harborfields we’re always underrated and under the radar, so to be nominated to play in these games and represent this school is amazing.” View more photos from Blue Chip Prospects Grand Slam Challenge at www.tbrnewsmedia.com.

Shoreham-Wading River kicker Tyler McAuley, below, is hoisted up by his Long Island teammates after they won the game.

Ammirato, McNulty help Long Island to win in Empire Challenge BY BILL LANDON After a New York City 30-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass, the team went for a twopoint conversion to outright win its third straight Empire Challenge football game under Hofstra University’s Friday night lights, but Long Island’s James Lyons, of Sayville, batted away the conversion pass in a 28-27 thriller. Up to that point Westhampton running back Dylan Laube has been the center of all things Long Island offense June 15, powering his way to three touchdowns — accumulating 151 all-purpose yards. He was voted most outstanding player of the game. He opened Long Island’s scoring by running off left tackle on the opening play of the second quarter and punching into the end zone to help tie the game 7-all. Miller Place’s Tyler Ammirato, Long Island’s defensive captain, called signals on the field in an attempt to contain an explosive NYC offensive attack. His plan ended up in a Long Island defensive stop to take over on downs, and Laube was back to work on offense. Farmingdale’s Briant DeFelice made the extra-point kick following Laube’s second touchdown to put Long Island out front 14-7 with three minutes left in the third. “It’s an awesome experience — you read the paper every week and you see all these guys’ names and to finally meet them and get to play with them,” Ammirato said. “I thought, ‘Our defensive stand right

Long Island 28 NYC 27

here will be the turning point of this game — we’ve got to get a stop right here,’ but our offense is [also very] talented, they’ll punch it in.” After NYC retied the game, Harborfields wide receiver Gavin Buda ran a sideline route and grabbed a 39-yard pass from Northport quarterback Ryan Walsh to put Long Island in excellent field position. Buda, the only athlete in history to be chosen for both the Empire Challenge and last week’s Blue Chip Prospects Grand Slam Challenge baseball game said it was a fitting way to conclude his high school career. “It’s sad, but this is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played in my life,” Buda said. “To meet all of these great superstars that I’ve played against and I’ve seen on the field, and to be friends with them now and to be their teammates, is just [an] amazing experience that I’m going to remember for the rest of my life.” Laube finished what Buda started for a 21-14 advantage to end the scoring for the third. A rare NYC miscue helped Westhampton’s Nolan Quinlan pick off a pass and nearly return it for a touchdown before being forced out of bounds with 32 seconds left in the fourth. NYC’s defense made a stop that forced Long Island to try for a 36-yard field goal attempt, which was blocked. With just over eight minutes left NYC made it a new game 21-all, but Long Island let time tick off the clock on a long drive to three consecutive first downs before Oceanside wide receiver Derek Cruz’s old-school flea-flicker jump ball. Cruz faked continuing his run and tossed the ball back

to quarterback Tommy Heuer, who waited for Massapequa wide receiver Owen Glascoe to break free. Heuer hit Glascoe in the end zone for a 34-yard touchdown pass and DeFelice added his fourth extra-point kick for a 28-21 lead with 41 seconds left, which ended up being the game-winning point. Ward Melville linebacker Zach Hobbes, who was instrumental in the Patriots’ rout of West Genesee in the state lacrosse final the weekend prior, was euphoric taking part in his final football game. “I can’t think of a better way to end my senior year,” Hobbes said. “Winning a state championship and then to play in front of 9,000 people for the last game of my varsity football career, and to get a win like that, it’s an unbelievable experience.” With time running out NYC went hurryup offense and hit three consecutive pass plays down the sideline, getting out of bounds each time to stop the clock and save

what precious seconds remained. With five seconds left, NYC quarterback Mike Nicosia threw the Hail Mary to the left corner of the end zone, where he found Titus Leo. “That was a crazy experience — that’s just how I expected the game to go,” Buda said. “I knew both teams would put up a fight and right when we scored that last touchdown I knew you could not count them out. We had to make a defensive stop, but they drove down — they’re a great team. Our defense came up with a humongous stop and that sealed the deal.” Shoreham-Wading River’s Tyler McAuley was unable to compete in the 23rd annual Empire Challenge football game. Ward Melville outside linebacker Thomas Kutchma and running back Nicholas Messina; Miller Place defensive end Matthew McNulty; and Northport quarterback Ryan Walsh were other area athletes that took part in the senior all-star game.

Residential Styles Learn about the home styles in your market and beyond. Our Residential Styles guide includes illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions about popular styles. Plus, use our Home Features guide to learn about architectural elements such as dormers, roofs, and arches that make a property distinct.

Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from onestory cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you'll find rustic exteriors and sheltered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, this style can be house boxy or lowslung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape Cod homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straightedge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rectangular design and secondfloor bedrooms.

Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian's classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt. Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Victorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and

Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian With paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty. Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door. Gothic Revival English romanticism influenced this style, marked by Gothic windows and vaulted roofs. Spanish Eclectic This style has details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Greek Revival Entryway columns and a front door surrounded by rectangular windows are characteristic. Split Level A Modern style, Split levels sequester living activities, such as sleeping and socializing.

International The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts. Stick Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards are typical of this Victorian style. Italianate This style has symmetrical bay windows in front, small chimneys, and tall windows. Tudor Tudors have half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and steep cross gables. Monterey The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an Adobe brick exterior. Victorian Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture incorporated decorative details such as patterned shingles. National Rooted in Native American dwellings, the National style is rectangular with sidegabled roofs. 7KH DERYH LQIRUPDWLRQ LV SURYLGHG E\ 7KH 1DWLRQDO $VVRFLDWLRQ RI 5HDOWRUV Š

Bidding farewell to Rocky Point retirees SARA-MEGAN WALSH

Rocky Point will certainly miss Karen Nicholson — truly a teacher of excellence. Many thanks also to Joanne Craig of the Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School, and Jody Cook of the Frank J. Carasiti school, who with a combined total of 35 years have devoted themselves to teaching so many. I’m certain that their shoes will be difficult to fill. I believe that an excellent support staff is essential to the success of the district. Senior clerk typist Denise Villaran, who retired in October, had dedicated 10 years of service to Rocky Point and the district office undoubtedly feels her absence. Over the years, Rocky Point has been blessed with many wonderful teacher aides, and this year we say goodbye to several outstanding individuals. I have known Joanne Ely, Donna Collier and Lynda McNicholas for many years. They are all kind and caring people, essential traits in those who work with children. However, I suspect it’s their ability to laugh and shared sense of humor that has largely contributed to their lengthy success. Undoubtedly, Michele

DeMarco possesses these attributes, as well. Together they have an astounding 97 years of combined service to the children of this district. Clearly, they are all great at what they do and Rocky Point will be the poorer without them. School lunch monitor, Mary Ann Panteleo, currently at the Joseph A. Edgar school has served for 18 years. Certainly, she must have many stories to tell, perhaps there’s a book deal in her future? Congratulations on a job well done. Many thanks are owed to Scott Reh, vice president of the board of education, for eight years of serving the children of the community. Board trustees serve voluntarily, they’re not paid positions. These selfless individuals sacrifice time spent with their families for the good of the district, and the donation of Scott Reh’s time and talent is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of you for your dedication and commitment to the students of Rocky Point. Enjoy a happy and well-deserved next chapter.

Weeding through issues along 25A Having tried for years to address the issue of New York State Route 25A median maintenance from Mount Sinai to Wading River, I am proposing the idea of removing the overgrown shrubs and weeds, and replacing the landscaped median areas with wildflower gardens. This will not only save money by reducing maintenance, which obviously is not being done as often as needed, but it will also provide a visually pleasing appearance as we travel along 25A in the Suffolk County 6th Legislative District. Mount Sinai, Miller Place, Sound Beach, Rocky Point, Shoreham and Wading River are greatly affected by the appearance of the roadway, with many communities having town centers along Route 25A. From local parks to welcome signs, these communities have put so much of their time, energy and effort into caring for and beautifying their hometowns. My office facilitated a partnership between the New

In light of current national events, a gnawing question surfaces — what happened to American values? Even the staunchest defenders of President Donald Trump (R) have to concede what’s currently going on at the borders of the United States is deeply troubling — the separation of parents from their children. The thought of just one child being separated from his or her family, crying for even a second, should be enough to deter any American with a conscience from supporting the president’s current policy. And yes, it is he and his administration’s to own, no matter what they want us to believe. The president has falsely claimed the immoral and inhumane policy of separating children from their parents who cross the border illegally was “a Democrat’s law.” It is not a law. Now it turns out, he is signing an executive order ending this loathsome policy. According to PolitiFact — a fact-checking site owned by the nonprofit Poynter Institute for Media Studies — the zero-tolerance policy that the Trump administration introduced in April, and one our president now admitted he has the power to change, has led to the massive uptick in children of all ages stuck in federal facilities without their parents. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Chief of Staff John Kelly have publicly intimated the aim of the new policy is to deter people from seeking asylum in the U.S. Even so, that hasn’t happened. Illegal immigrants are so desperate to flee their countries, they are walking into this crisis as the lesser of two terrible evils. On June 15, federal officials announced that 1,995 children have been separated from 1,940 adults at the border between April 19 and May 31. Parents were referred for prosecution. Facts matter regarding the details of the new policy, especially as the White House and cabinet members like Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen cry “fake news.” It would be accurate to say the Trump administration has not explicitly crafted a policy calling for the separation of families entering the U.S. illegally. However, zero tolerance has created the problem, because illegally crossing the border was previously handled as a civil offense. This allowed families to be detained together, but now, as the felonies are turning into criminal charges, parents are being taken into police custody while children are frequently sent to a Walmart-turned-detention center in Texas, which grows more crowded by the day, and other places around the country. This is all indisputable fact. We as Americans have a responsibility to acknowledge this, politicians and officials. We encourage anyone as troubled by this as we are to reach out to your houses of worship to see if they’re taking steps to aide those being affected. Who are looking after the safety and welfare of these children? Donate your time or money to one of the more than 10 rapid response networks aiding Long Island immigrants, or organizations like RAICES, a Texas-based nonprofit that provides legal defense for individuals in immigration court. This is not our America, and this is not your America. This is not anyone’s America. We cannot remain silent. When government fails, it is up to us to stand up for one of America’s intrinsic values — freedom and the entitlement to basic human rights.

As the 2017-18 school year nears its end, I would like to acknowledge and express my thanks to the retirees and soon-to-be retirees of the Rocky Point Union Free School District for their many years of dedicated service to its students. Farewell and many thanks for eight-year Assistant Superintendent Deborah De Luca, and school psychologist John Haggerty for a remarkable 19 years of care and commitment to Rocky Point’s children. My youngest son was very fortunate to have had Karen Nicholson as his kindergarten teacher. She has provided a wonderful learning environment for her students, and under her capable, caring and patient guidance, my son enjoyed an excellent experience during his first year in the Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School. He eagerly looked forward to going to her class each day, and it was comforting to know that his first introduction to school was a very positive one. It’s difficult to imagine the number of students whose lives have been enriched and enhanced as a result of her 30 years of dedicated service.

York State Department of Transportation and Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, which graciously provides maintenance assistance through the sheriff’s Labor Assistance Program. However, there is a limit to the assistance the Sheriff’s Office can provide, and honestly, it’s not their responsibility. NYSDOT is responsible for the maintenance of the road and if it cannot provide adequate median maintenance, we need to work together to find a solution. As an avid gardener, I can

appreciate adequately maintained landscaping, and that’s why I’m reaching out to civic associations and landscape professionals for help and ideas to address this problem. If you have ideas, please send them to: contactlegislatoranker@ suffolkcountyny.gov I look forward to working together as we address the safety, monetary and quality of life concerns related to Route 25A.

Sifting through the memories

M

y family has become archeologists in our own home. After 12 years of collecting artwork from the kids’ classes in school, saving report cards and filing away binders from earlier grades, we are sifting through all that material, jettisoning or recycling what we don’t need. Some of the finds are so remarkable that they stop us in our sorting tracks. My high school daughter isn’t much of a morning person. She often prefers short sounds or gestures in the car on the way to school, rather By Daniel Dunaief than actual conversations that might require her to form words. As we were going through a pile

D. None of the above

of material, we found a note from her nursery school teacher. She described a charming little girl who often takes a while to get going each morning. That description is so apt today that we realized how much of people’s patterns and personalities form early in life. Then, sorting further, we found papers from her spectacular first-grade teacher. A young woman with a soft voice and a determined style, her teacher brought out the best in our daughter, even early in the morning. Our daughter kept a diary in that class, in which she shared stories about the family’s weekend activities. Clearly, her brother was jealous of that writing, as we also found a diary from him in which he thanks her for creating a similar book for him to record his experiences. He shared his thoughts from the weekend, and the rest of the family readily wrote back to him. His sister also kept handwritten notes from her first-grade teacher. The letters are all clear and distinct, and offer a positive and supportive tone.

Her teacher wrote to her, without talking down to her. What a wonderful role model. This teacher, through form and content, offered a ray of sunshine to our daughter even then, which was probably why we kept the papers. These notes today take on a different meaning for us, as the teacher succumbed to cancer at a young age just a few years after our daughter had the privilege of being in her class. Our daughter was recently in a high school English class in which her first-grade teacher’s husband served as a part-time instructor. She shared some of these notes with him. He was delighted to take them home to his daughter, who was a toddler when her mother died. His daughter has particularly appreciated seeing her mother’s handwriting and feeling an indirect connection to the encouraging words she offered. We have also sorted through dozens — OK, hundreds — of pictures that have transported us to earlier memories. We have a photo of our 1-year old son

standing on the warning track at the old Yankee Stadium, bunched up in a winter coat on a December day. We also found numerous pictures of our son on baseball fields of his own, surrounded by younger versions of teammates who have stuck with him through the years, as well as of friends who have gone their separate ways — or have pursued other sports. Amid all the trophies from sports teams, we discovered certificates indicating that one or both of our children had been successful lunch helpers. We have unearthed old VHS tapes of movies we watched numerous times as a family, including a few Disney classics and a surprisingly amusing Barbie version of “The Princess and the Pauper.” In addition to sending us down memory lane, sorting through all the accumulated clutter has made the house seem so much larger, giving us room to add modern memories and memorabilia to our collection.
