Local artists paint historic mural on Broadway in Rocky Point BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWMEDIA.COM

ing shipwreck, the RCA Radio Central station, Tilda’s Clock and the old Rocky Point train station. Natalie Stiefel, the president of the Rocky Point Historical Society, gave Vogelle a few suggestions on what to include. “It would take a mural the entire size of the town to represent all the history of Rocky Point, but they did a really good job,” Stiefel said. “Rocky Point is really such a magical place.” Vogelle said the mural was in planning since spring 2017, and after many months of work it was finally completed in mid-August.

A local artist is using an image of the past to illustrate a brighter future. A newly finished mural on Broadway in Rocky Point highlights the historic nature of the old hamlet while serving to continue efforts to beautify the downtown. Retired Miller Place High School art teacher Julia Vogelle spearheaded the project and painted the mural, located just outside Rocky Point Ship & Pack, alongside Edith Mahler, a trustee of the Rocky Point Historical Society. It is painted on the side of Belladonna Hair Design, located at 45 Broadway, and faces the entrance of Rocky Point Ship & Pack next door. Vogelle said several local community members, even those just passing by, came to help with the project. She even got several of her ex-students involved, including Geraldine Luglio, Max Braun and Natalie Rash, all recent graduates from Miller Place High School. “It’s been a wonderful experience working with them,” Vogelle said. “It’s really been an effort of love for Rocky Point.” The mural depicts several historic elements and landmarks of Rocky Point, such as the Noah Hallock Homestead, Indian Rock, The Hallock Land-

Above, Natalie Rash, Edith Mahler, Geraldine Luglio and Max Braun work on the mural, which was completed last month, on the left.

Broadway, watched as the mural went up over time. He marveled at just how much history there is in the hamlet where he grew up. “It really did capture the essence of Rocky Point,” Badalamenti said. The mural was painted with supplies provided by Rocky Point Civic Association in continued efforts to beautify downtown Rocky Point, according to Charles Bevington, civic president. “Hopefully Rocky Point grows slowly with some dynamic but still within the spirit of the local culture,” Bevington said.

The former art teacher is one of the people heading up plans for The Brick Clay Studio & Gallery in St. James after a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2017. The original plan was to locate the studio in Rocky Point in a brick building near the Rocky Point Farmers Market at the corner of Prince and Broadway, but the group was unable to land the deal. Vogelle said this mural project is a way of giving back to the community that originally supported her and the rest of her team.

Briarcliff building could be sold, leased by SWR BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Shoreham-Wading River school district has announced it’s in the final stages of exploring a sale of the vacant Briarcliff Elementary School building and property after it was vandalized with graffiti and windows were broken Aug. 26. The school district posted a notice to its website Aug. 29 saying it had started the process of publicizing a request for proposals about a sale or lease of the property and that the RFP will be submitted to the board at its Sept. 25 meeting. “As a follow up to the feedback received during the public workshops the district held last

winter and spring, the board of education is in the early stages of exploring the possible lease or sale of the facility with the help of a specialized real estate agent identified through an RFP process,” the district said in a statement. “No final decision on this matter has been made to this date as an RFP is in the development stages.” Briarcliff Elementary School closed its doors in 2014. It was built in 1907. Since its closure, the district has had to pay for ongoing operating costs — approximately $95,000 annually, according to the district. In April, district officials sat down with residents in round-table discussions about possible options for the Briarcliff property located on Briarcliff Road in Shoreham. While many residents said they would like to keep the property in the district’s hands, such as moving either the library or district offices to that location, officials stated there was very little they could use the building for. The school board voted to create an RFP on a sale of the property at its June 26 meeting. The announcement of the intent to sell comes a few days after the property was vandalized. A member of the Shoreham/Wading River Community Group on Facebook posted photos at about noon Aug. 26 showing graffiti along the rear end of the property closest to the field and playground. One door labeled “16” had been pulled open and two windows right next to it had been smashed. The graffiti was largely random, some showing expletives. One message read “make out hill,” and another said “Hallow [sic] Point,” most likely misspelling “hollow point.” The windows that were broken had already been boarded up with metal plates and the door relocked by Aug. 29.

The former Briarcliff Elementary School building, top, will soon be up for sale or lease, a move that came after vandals spray painted on the building and broke windows last week.

The school district called the police at approximately 1:30 p.m. the same day, a spokesperson for Suffolk County police said. Later that afternoon the district put a notice on its website saying it was working with law enforcement in an ongoing investigation. “The district takes matters of safety and security very seriously,” district officials said in a statement. “Briarcliff, like each of our schools, is monitored through video surveillance, by members of our district staff and through the use of an alarm system. The district is cooperating with members of law enforcement to the fullest extent possible.” The building already has a number of security cameras along its facade. One is located on the main entrance, another at the entrance to the

trailers on the northern part of the property and another behind the property. There are also flood lights located on the roof of the property facing the back field. Shoreham resident Lisa Geraghty has been following the ongoing Briarcliff story for more than a year, and she said she understands the tough decisions the school board had to make on the property. “The nearly $100,000 annual cost to maintain the building with just enough winter heat to prevent the pipes from freezing and occasional mowing and security checks could never cover the amount of work the building needs,” Geraghty said. “The six-figure maintenance cost isn’t enough to cover steady security.”

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Superintendents in Suffolk County are trying to get their schools all on the same page when it comes to safety. Following the particularly deadly school shooting — though just the latest in a long line of similar occurrences — that took place in Parkland, Florida at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February, which resulted in 17 fatalities, discussions about concrete steps to enhance safety for students and staff in buildings from coast to coast have been seemingly unending. In Suffolk County, school officials have teamed up to release a five-point blueprint of actionable steps, officially recommended by the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association Aug. 27 to local, state and federal lawmakers. The superintendents are calling on lawmakers to invest in the School Resource Officer program, providing additional officers in Suffolk County schools; adopt legislation that enhances campus safety, including amending the New York State Criminal Procedure Law dealing with setting bail; make the NY SAFE Act the law of the land; support the social, emotional and mental health of children through screening programs and education initiatives; and provide institutional support to finance school safety, calling for the state to initiate school security aid and to exempt school safety expenditures from the tax-levy limitation. “While school safety has always been a top priority, following the horrific massacre at Col-

umbine High School in Columbine, Colorado, and the tragic events that followed, the importance of a strong working relationship between the police, mental health providers and public-school officials has become more important than ever,” the association said in a press release. “The SCSSA plans to continue to work together with Suffolk County law enforcement and local, state and federal legislators to turn these plans into actions that will improve school safety and the safety and wellness of all students in Suffolk County.” In August, representatives from Sandy Hook Promise, a national nonprofit organization that was founded by parents from the Connecticut elementary school to carry out its mission of preventing all gun-related deaths, held a forum for the association and law enforcement officials. The purpose of the meeting was to share details about four programs they’ve created aimed at preventing violence in schools. The four strategies, which fall under the nonprofit’s Know the Signs programs, are taught to youth and adults free of charge in the hopes of fostering an environment that empowers everyone in the community to help identify and intervene when someone is at risk. Superintendents who were in attendance from several local districts pledged to further examine Sandy Hook Promise’s programs and to take steps toward implementing them. During an exclusive interview with TBR News Media in July, Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D) said creating countywide standards for school security is a priority for his department.

Man rescued from LI Sound in Setauket A man spent 45 minutes treading water in the Long Island Sound Sept. 4 after being knocked off his small boat by a wake, according to Suffolk County police. The man was rescued from the water after his unoccupied skiff was spotted floating in the Sound. Marine Bureau officers Cory Kim and Gregory Stroh responded aboard Marine Delta after a fisherman reported finding an unoccupied skiff floating in the Long Island Sound at about 12 p.m. Tuesday, police said. While officers were responding to that call, a 911 caller reported a person yelling for help in the water off Old Field

Road in Setauket. Officers Kim and Stroh located the man, Wen Zhong Wang, 37, of Ronkonkoma, approximately 1/10 of a mile from shore. Wang, who was not wearing a life jacket, had been in the water approximately 45 minutes after he was knocked off his 9-foot skiff when it was hit by wake from a passing boat. Wang was transported to the Port Jefferson boat ramp where he was evaluated by Port Jefferson Ambulance personnel and released. The fisherman towed the boat to shore where it was secured by the Port Jefferson Harbormaster.

ALEX PETROSKI Port Jefferson Harbor is undergoing an algal bloom caused by hot temperatures and excess nitrogen, a dangerous occurrence for marine life.

PJ Harbor experiencing rust tide, endangering marine life Port Jefferson Harbor is currently undergoing an alarming phenomenon that an expert called “uncharted territory” locally. The harbor is currently experiencing a rust tide, or an algal bloom, caused by a single-celled phytoplankton. Rust tides don’t pose any harm to humans but can be lethal to marine life. Christopher Gobler, endowed chair of Coastal Ecology and Conservation at the Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, said rust tides are spurred by hot air, water temperatures and excessive nutrients in the water, especially nitrogen. The Gobler Laboratory at SBU, named for the chairman, is monitoring the situation, performing research into its specific causes, and is looking for solutions to reduce nitrogen loading and thus the intensity of events like these, according to Gobler. He said he has been studying the phenomenon on the East End of Long Island for about 12 years, but this is only the second time it has occurred in Port Jefferson Harbor. “We never had these blooms even on the East End before 2004,” Gobler said. “Now, they occur pretty much every year since 2004 or so.” Blooming rust tides typically start in late August and last into mid-September. However, as water and global temperatures continue to rise, Gobler said there are a lot of unknowns. He said this is one of the hottest summers he has ever witnessed regarding the temperature of the Long Island Sound, adding that temperatures in the local body of water have increased at a rate significantly faster than global averages.

“The big issue is temperature, so these blooms tend to track very well with warmer temperatures,” Gobler said. George Hoffman, a co-founder of Setauket Harbor Task Force, a nonprofit group which monitors and advocates for the health of the harbor, said his organization saw some early evidence of a rust tide in Little Bay while conducting biweekly water testing Aug. 24. Little Bay is located within Setauket Harbor, and within the larger Port Jefferson Harbor complex. Hoffman said the task force’s readings suggested salinity levels and water temperature were within the parameters needed for the growth of a rust tide. Rust tide is caused by cochlodinium polykrikoides, according to a fact sheet compiled by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management. The single-cell phytoplankton may harm fish and shellfish because it produces a hydrogen peroxide-like compound that can damage their gill tissue. Fish can avoid these dangerous blooms by simply swimming away. Fish and shellfish harvested in areas experiencing rust tides are still safe for human consumption. Gobler said the installation of septic systems capable of removing more nitrogen in homes, especially that fall within watershed areas, would go a long way toward reducing hazardous algal blooms. Suffolk County has taken steps in recent months to increase grant money available to homeowners interested in installing septic systems with up-to-date technology capable of reducing the amount of nitrogen discharged into local waters. In addition, members of the New York State-funded Center for Clean Water Technology at SBU unveiled their nitrogen-reducing biofilter April 26 at a Suffolk County-owned home in Shirley.

Novenas PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never Known To Fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the Son of God, immaculate virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh star of the sea, help me & show me here in, you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity There are none who can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times). Oh Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands. (3 times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can obtain my goals. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. A.S. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted.

“Jimmy� is a full grown lab mix who weighs in at only 10 pounds. He’s only one year old, but his life has been tough - abused as a puppy then left at a kill shelter. It’s no surprise that he’s a little shy, but he’s also sweet and gentle. He needs a loving family who will spoil him as he deserves.

Please call or email and ask about our very reasonable rates.

Newspaper publishers, editors and staff members across the country — especially weeklies operating on tight budgets — are breathing sighs of relief. Last week the United States International Trade Commission overturned President Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on Canadian newsprint, and we couldn’t be happier. The tariffs that the U.S. began charging this year caused many newspapers in the country to cut staff or paper sizes — in some cases both — to absorb the rise in newsprint costs. Other publications closed their doors as the additional expense was the breaking point for many outlets, making it impossible to continue operating in an environment already riddled with challenges in a changing industry. The overturning of this tariff, besides creating a sigh of relief, has demonstrated the balance of power in our country at work. Many have expressed fear about how much power a president may have or think he has, but our forefathers were visionaries. Declaring their independence from England, they knew a monarchy wouldn’t work in the U.S. All levels of government, from federal down to local, are designed with checks and balances in place in the form of executive, legislative and judicial branches. The president may want something to happen — in this case to impose a tariff — but that doesn’t mean that senators, congressmen, judges and federal agencies have to agree with him. And if they don’t, they have the power to make sure that a bill or an edict doesn’t go forward or remain in place. Speaking of our Founding Fathers, they ensured the U.S. Constitution contained an amendment to aid in protection of the free press. It was written to allow journalists to fairly report on events and happenings without government interference. This enables reporters the freedom and ability to keep a close eye on what elected officials are up to. Imagine if weekly, in most cases local, newspapers needed to continue to absorb the newsprint tariff. We presume many more would suffer, and as each one folded, regional and national outlets would be left to try to pick up the slack jumping into areas local news reporters know inside and out. Or worse: No one would pick up the slack. If the press runs into an issue like this again — government decisions directly impacting our ability to do our jobs effectively — we as an industry have shown there is strength in numbers. In a show of unity, Aug. 16, hundreds of papers in the U.S. published similar editorials voicing displeasure over the president’s disrespectful treatment of members of the press dating back to his campaign. The goal was to make it clear that the press wasn’t the enemy of the people. As your local press, we are thrilled to continue to serve you in the years to come.

I am writing in thanks and appreciation for our community and the Comsewogue Public Library, Emma S. Clark Memorial Library and Port Jefferson Free Library, each of which partnered with my office to collect school supplies for our neighbors most in need this summer. It is because of the support offered by this community that disadvantaged children throughout our county will begin this school year with the supplies necessary to succeed. Back-to-school season is often an anxious time in the lives of students, and for parents with low incomes or who are homeless. It can be equally worrying not knowing how, or if their child will be prepared for the new year. With your support we are able to give many children living in uncertainty a

sense of comfort, confidence and hope for this new school year and I thank you for that.

John McCain’s lasting legacy on America There is no one that knows me as a friend, acquaintance, journalist or simply a politically opinionated resident that does not consider me as anything but a liberal democrat, now fashionably called a progressive. That said, tears filled my eyes Aug. 25 when I heard of the death of the honorable senator, John McCain. Some 17 years my elder, I was 5 years old when he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. In 1969 I became a very active member of the Vietnam anti-war movement, and McCain was a prisoner in North Vietnam at the “Hanoi Hilton” prison camp. I did not dodge the draft, and although I had the right to apply for a college deferment I did not, as I saw the inequity of that based on the percentage of American whites in college as opposed to African-Americans. When I registered in 1971, I expressed a willingness to serve but requested a designation as a noncombatant conscientious objector. Neither my parents nor my priest would sign the paperwork and I was denied my request by the draft board. As I waited out the 1972 draft with a suitcase packed for a train ride to Canada, McCain still sat in North Vietnam as a prisoner. He experienced horrible torture and turned down what he considered an out-of-order repatriation designation

because of his father’s position as the admiral that oversaw the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet. In 1973 the war ended, I celebrated with other anti-war Beantown college students packing Harvard Square and dancing in the street, as McCain still sat in prison. He eventually was put on a plane in Hanoi and returned to America, but with arms so broken from his aircraft crash that caused his capture and a re-breaking of his arms under torture, he was never again able to lift his arms high enough to even comb his own hair or put on his own jacket. We danced in Boston. McCain could not lift his arms over his head, nor would he ever be able to lift any future grandchildren over his head like the rest of us. Rather than choose a comfortable future after as much of a dedicated life to his country as any American can claim, he continued serving his country by entering into American politics. After his position as naval liaison to the Senate from 1977 until he retired from the Navy in 1981, he ran for the House of Representatives in 1982 and won in a heavily Republican Arizona district he decided to call home after a life of growing up with no real home as a son in a naval family. After two terms, he ran for the Senate and was re-elected five times. Two runs for the presidency resulted in a

primary loss to George W. Bush and a general election loss to Barack Obama. Ironically, both men eulogized McCain at his personally arranged funeral, while our current president was not even invited to attend. In his death McCain may have made the greatest statement about the sitting president. Obviously, I did not agree with many of McCain’s political opinions, but we did agree on Native American rights, that immigrants created this great country, and that there is no place in America for prejudice and bigotry. He was a man of integrity that believed government could not function without compromise, and his frustration with the current state of affairs in Congress he made abundantly clear during the closing years of his senatorial service and in the last letter he left for the American people. This was a man who exemplified the qualities of honor, service and, again, integrity. Certainly, I pale in comparison to this man when it comes to sacrifice for country, as most of us do. I fear we will not see another of his like again if the discourse of our American politic continues along its present path. God’s speed Senator John McCain, God bless!

Avoiding the slings and arrows of would-be foes

here people live, conflicts thrive. It’s inevitable. Get two people in a room for long enough and, eventually, they will find elements about the other person that irritate them. It’s what drives people to watch some reality TV shows. Participants can’t stand each other, they call each other names and, before you know it, someone is screaming at someone else D. None and the viewing audience at home of the above is rubbernecking BY DANIEL DUNAIEF through the drama. When it happens to other people, it’s entertainment. When it happens to us, it can hurt. Why do we care what other people think?

We know that some people will find fault with everyone — their mothers, siblings and bosses — making criticism inevitable and, ultimately, meaningless. If someone stood on the side of the road and yelled “Duck!” often enough, pretty soon people would stop ducking, would stop looking for ducks, and, like so many other noises around them, wouldn’t hear the warning anymore. And yet, when someone we know or even someone we’ve recently met indicates a disdain for us, scowls at our presence, or undermines our abilities, intelligence or effort, we feel cut to the quick. That person might just be repeating the same criticisms to us that he or she levies at everyone all the time. It’s like a fortune cookie. We read something that says, “You need to think twice before taking advice.” Wow, we think, how incredibly insightful, even as we ignore the irony that we are taking advice from a small slip of paper crushed into a Pac-Man shaped cookie. Someone recently gave me advice that seems valuable, like

quitting a job I hate, but maybe that person just wants to take my job or doesn’t want to hear me complaining. Maybe that advice doesn’t really apply to me after all. The same holds true for insults, criticism and nastiness. It could apply to us or it could just be fortune cookie nastiness, conjured up by someone who may not enjoy the life he or she leads, trying to make everyone as miserable as them. Insults are ubiquitous. Much of the time, however, the insult is an opinion, not a fact. There are times when an admonishment such as “You weren’t driving well” is accurate, particularly if you were driving the wrong way on a one-way street. We don’t immediately imagine the person doing the insulting might be sharing an opinion about us that we would almost instantly dismiss if it were about our spouse, our children, our parents or our close friends. We think, “Maybe I am terrible at this,” or “Maybe I should be embarrassed.”

People make puppets, write stories about fictional characters, draw cartoons and imaginary figures because they want to control something. But just because they want control doesn’t mean you have to give it to them. Even assuming someone doesn’t like you, your appearance or your ideas, so what? Our preferences are so subjective that we can’t or shouldn’t try to please everyone. We don’t have to play those reindeer games. We can disagree and express our opinions without attacking someone else. We follow whatever rules we set for ourselves and don’t need to fight fire with fire, hit back 10 times harder or show that we mean business. We can be more graceful than our detractors. When someone attacks us, we don’t have to act as if we’re wearing a target. We can look at that person, put a slow smile on our face and say, “It’s too bad you feel that way. Maybe a good fortune cookie would cheer you up?”

Microwave ovens will not talk to us, but microwave radiation might Question: Put together some sci-fi, add a bit of spy thriller and what have you got? Answer: The latest hypothesis for what caused the symptoms and illnesses of our diplomatic representatives in Cuba and then in China. The Cuban incident caused a serious rift in the newly mellowed relationship between Cuba and the United States. Now scientists are Between suggesting that microwaves might be you and me the weapons. BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF It seems that weapons emitting microwave radiation, not the short waves that come from our kitchen microwave ovens or connect our cellphones to antennae towers,

have been considered by military specialists for mind control since the Cold War. These invisible beams can transmit painfully loud booms and even spoken words into people’s heads, according to an astonishing story by William J. Broad on the front page of last Sunday’s New York Times. Now Douglas H. Smith, director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the lead author of a recent study of 21 affected diplomats from Cuba, pointed to this possible cause of the brain injuries. The Frey effect, named after American biologist Allan H. Frey, occurs when microwaves cause the brain to “hear” ordinary sounds, like loud noises, ringing and even human voices. These can be the result of stealth attacks with sonic weapons. Jason, a secretive group of elite scientists that, according to The Times, helps the federal government assess new threats to national security, has been called in to figure out the cause of the symptoms. While the group has

not issued any explanations, nor has the FBI, it is certainly studying the possibility of microwaves being the agents. Frey, 83, who lives near Washington, agrees. He even thinks that a group of Cubans aligned with Russia, their longtime ally, might have launched such an attack. “It’s a possibility … a perfectly viable explanation,” to disrupt a closer United States-Cuban relationship. Microwaves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, are everywhere and are generally seen as harmless. However, when tightly focused, as when dish antennas turn the disorganized rays into concentrated beams, they can cause even deaf people to hear false sounds. Frey, in effect, founded a new field of study on the neural impact of radiation waves. He realized that the human head, because of its dimensions, is a good antenna for picking up microwave signals. The temporal lobes, beneath the temples, are where nerve signals from the outer and inner ear are processed. The effect is now called radio-frequency hearing.

Others took note. The Soviets built labs with armed guards to study the neural impact of microwaves and envisioned arms that they called psychophysical or psychotronic. These sounds, the Defense Intelligence Agency warned, could disrupt military or diplomatic personnel. The U.S. Air Force jumped in to research how to beam comprehensible speech into the heads of enemies. The Navy sought to paralyze with the beams. Russia, China and European nations know how to make such weapons today. The weapon might look like an innocuous satellite dish and could fire beams over relatively short distances. We do know that Russian President Vladimir Putin resurrected “work on psychoactive arms” as recently ago as 2012, according to The Times. There is still no definitive explanation for the sickness of diplomatic personnel in Cuban and subsequently China, but suspicions of microwave radiation remain high on the list. The problem in pinpointing them is the stealth.
