Elderly Setauket man rescued from sinking vehicle BY DONNA DEEDY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

A 78-year-old man accidentally drove his four-door sedan straight into the icy waters of a pond off of Hulse Road during the Feb. 1 snowstorm. The driver was quickly rescued when Setauket Fire Department Chief Scott Gressin arrived at the scene at 11:39 a.m., just one minute after receiving a 911 call. “The man had self-extricated himself from the vehicle,” Gressin said. “I found him on the hood of his car, which was submerged up to

where the doors meet the windows.” The driver was soaking wet, he said, but uninjured. After tossing the man a rope to tie around himself, the chief said the man was safely towed to the pond’s edge with the assistance of other Setauket firemen, who arrived at the scene with floatation devices and water rescue gear. The incident occurred at Setauket Meadows, a 55-and-over community where the unidentified man lives. After confirming that there were no other passengers in the vehicle, emergency responders took the man

to his nearby home, where he changed into dry clothing and refused further medical care. The chief said that the man was appreciative, but somewhat embarrassed. “It was a rapid, robust response,” Gressin said. “Fortunately, the department is equipped with specialty ice-and-water rescue apparatus and trained in cold water rescues.” Setauket Fire Department responds to roughly 3,600 alarms each year. Winter water rescues are rare, Gressin said, but countywide first responders recurrently rescue passengers from sinking vehicles.

Englebright ready to tackle district’s priorities in 2021 Part 1 of 2. In 2020, state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) maintained his seat in a race against Michael Ross, a local lawyer and former Suffolk County assistant district attorney. With nearly 30 years behind him as an assemblyman, Englebright is hitting the ground running in 2021.

even having people answering the state hotline would be helpful. He noted not having enough of the COVID-19 vaccines also exacerbates the problem. “I think there’s always little bureaucratic things that discourage people, and the object of this exercise is to vaccinate as many people as possible and achieve herd immunity and return to normal at some level,” he said. “Especially, before these new variants come in from Brazil, South Africa and London.”

While the assemblyman has a list of priorities for 2021, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout is at the forefront of his mind. He said in a phone interview that the state’s vaccination rollout protocols need to be addressed in regard to issues such as identifying more vaccination sites, making registering easier and allowing couples to sign up together. He added more locations should be utilized such as chain and privately owned pharmacies, local school gyms and even National Guard facilities. “It really is held up right now by a lack of imagination and proper use of technology that’s available,” Englebright said, adding that

Englebright has been keeping his eyes on Route 347 and the Long Island Rail Road. While roadwork on Route 347 in the Smithtown area was completed a few years ago, Englebright would like to see the road improvements continue through Port Jefferson Station. The assemblyman is making sure the completion of the roadwork is a priority. “This is important for the operation and quality of life for the Port Jefferson Station community,” Englebright said. “If I can move it up and accelerate the improvement, I’m going to try to do that.” Englebright is also a proponent of full electrification of the LIRR Port Jefferson line,

COVID-19

He said electrification will be a “game changer,” raising the values of homes, attracting more people to use the railroad and creating less pollution. “We’re working with late-19th century, early-20th century models for rail, and the time has long passed — we need to upgrade them,” he said.

and in 2019 was part of a press conference in Stony Brook speaking out against the railroad purchasing more diesel engines.

Englebright said a closer look is being taken at PSEGLI. Many have been disappointed with the utility company, he said. Recently, many of its top executives were pulled off of Long Island issues and sent to Puerto Rico to try to acquire big contracts for rebuilding the Caribbean island’s hurricane-ravaged electrical infrastructure. Englebright said the Long Island Power Authority board is moving toward full municipalization of the utility company, something he has been pushing for since 1983 when he was a Suffolk County legislator. “I’m still of the opinion that moving to full municipal ownership would give more accountability and more stability in terms of our ratepayers obligations,” he said. Look for Part 2 in next week’s edition where Englebright discusses his environmental goals.

Three Village Civic Association updates elusive vaccine situation BY CHRIS CUMELLA DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Three Village Civic Association hosted an online informational meeting Feb. 1, designed to address details about the COVID-19 vaccine with current and future plans for distribution and administration for the general public. There were over 40 participants Monday evening. “We recognize that there is a lot of frustration from people trying to obtain vaccines,” said George Hoffman, acting TVCA president. “This is an opportunity to hear from Suffolk County. They’ll explain what the plans are for the distribution.” First, a representative from Stony Brook Children’s Hospital gave details of the vaccine, including dismissing preconceived notions about its effects and clarifying plans for major distribution moving forward. Dr. Sharon Nachman, chief of Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at SBCH and director of the office of clinical trials at Renaissance School of Medicine, offered her expertise on infectious diseases, immunizations and the coronavirus by highlighting the efficacy of three different types of vaccines. “There have been no deaths from the COVID treatment arms,” she explained to the

virtual audience, about the lack of fatalities from the group of vaccine participants. She noted that there were deaths recorded of those that were treated with a placebo. Nachman illustrated the details of three different types of vaccines being implemented in clinical trials of treatment for COVID-19. Among them were the mRNA vaccine being utilized and distributed by pharmaceutical giants Moderna and Pfizer; the nonreplicating viral vector vaccine created by the Englishbased pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca; and the protein plus vaccine developed by Novavax — an American vaccine development corporation. With each explanation, she walked the listeners through the process of how the vaccines are administered, their chemical components and any complications or potential side effects. According to SBU, the most common symptoms shown in those who received both doses of the Pfizer vaccines were fatigue and headache. “Information is available on the Stony Brook website if anyone is interested in enrolling,” Nachman said. “However, the clock is ticking. We’re enrolling about 5,000 patients per week.”

The sense of urgency comes following the New York State mandate of vaccine distribution, which according to Assistant Deputy County Executive Vanessa BairdStreeter, has caused a flagging distribution rate toward those in need of the vaccine in Long Island. She said about 90,000 Suffolk County residents eligible in the “essential” 1a group received their vaccines in late December. Plans are in progress to distribute 600,000 more to the 1b group, including those 65 and over. “We do believe that as time continues, we will see an expedited rate of distribution of doses,” she said. “New York State is only receiving 250,000 vaccines per week, and that is for the entire state.”

Jay Gardiner award

TVCA took the opportunity to recognize one of its longtime members, Jay Gardiner — former Setauket fire commissioner and chairman of the board, who is set to retire this month after 50 years of service. During his years with the fire department, Gardiner amassed an impressive résumé of reputable deeds. These included teaching medical professionalism at Stony Brook Hospital, carrying out emergency medical services throughout the Long Island area and

delivering eight newborn babies. “To everybody I ever taught, and more importantly from everyone I ever learned from, I want to thank you,” Gardiner said to the virtual audience. “There is an excitement to be in emergency services. I’m confident that my brothers and sisters in the department are out there doing the job tonight helping those who need medical attention.” TVCA awarded Gardiner a plaque for his services throughout the years which his wife presented to him in a surprise during the call. He said that with his newfound free time, he will be getting back to his passions of “Scotch, cigars and golf.” The meeting was described as a “very timely and important forum” by Hoffman. He is currently heading the TVCA in place of president Jonathan Kornreich, who is running for Brookhaven Town Council in a special election in March. Recording secretary Charles Tramontano said now is the time to be involved with the civic association. “If anyone is interested in becoming a board member, all you have to do is reach out and send us your contact information on our website,” he said. “We welcome all people who want to get involved with our association.”

Community members share concerns Matz takes his talents to Toronto over bus rapid transit along Nicolls BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

that Stony Brook University is situated on. “Stony Brook University straddles Nicolls Road in this stretch of roadway,” Englebright wrote. “Expanses of green grass fill the wide median and stands of native woodland trees create the natural feel of a linear parkway and provide a green screen for the university campus as per Mr. Melville’s expectation. This legacy should not be compromised.” The Three Village Civic Association also shared its CEQ letter with The Village Times Herald. Like Englebright, the TVCA is urging the CEQ to recommend a SEQRA Positive Declaration and a full environmental impact statement for the transit project. “Nicolls Road is the gateway to the Three Village community which includes Stony Brook and the Setaukets,” the letter read. “It’s more than just a transportation corridor; it defines the rural and historic character of the Three Villages.” Both Englebright and the civic association feel that there should be more public input when it comes to the project. “To date the outreach by Suffolk County has been deficient and poorly carried out,” the TVCA letter stated. “In fact the only hearing in which the public was invited to attend to learn about the bus transit project was held on December 13, 2016, several days before Christmas and at Suffolk Community College, a location miles away from the Three Village community.” CEQ will meet Wednesday, Feb. 10, via Zoom at 9:30 a.m. Residents can email their statements for the public portion of the meeting to planning@suffolkcountyny.gov.

While a Jan. 27 Suffolk County Council on Environmental Quality meeting was canceled, the letters the council requested of residents regarding a proposed rapid transit system along Nicolls Road were received. Originally the council members were to meet to begin the decision-making process to determine the implications of the State Environmental Quality Review Act for the bus system. The proposal to create Suffolk’s first north-south multimodal transportation corridor was introduced by Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) in 2015. The proposed corridor would feature dedicated lanes for rapid transit buses traveling along Nicolls Road between Stony Brook and Patchogue, as well as high occupancy vehicle lanes in some sections, with the goal of relieving traffic congestion. Rebecca Sinclair, county deputy commissioner of economic development and planning, commented on the canceled meeting in an email. “The Department of Economic Development and Planning had become aware of community concerns not previously raised during outreach and project briefing sessions, and needs time to properly consider, while also being consistent with the requirements and regulatory framework of both the county and the federal funding agency.” State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) was one of the letter writers. In his letter of Jan. 20 that he shared with TBR News Media, Englebright expressed his concerns about the project and asked the council to require a full environmental review accompanied by the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement. “For my constituents Nicolls Road is much more than just a transportation corridor; it is the gateway to our community,” he wrote. According to Englebright, the project could add 75 acres of impermeable pavement to the corridor, and he was informed that it would span “34 subwatershed areas and crosses the regional groundwater divide that defines the center of the deep-flow recharge of our solesource aquifer system.” Englebright said the road was originally designed to be a north-south greenway, noting this is most relevant to the section of Nicolls from Route 25A to 347. He added the area “was central to the vision of Ward Melville who was our community’s original planning genius and patron.” Melville donated the land

The Toronto Blue Jays are getting much more than a 29-year-old lefty pitcher from the New York Mets. In a trade in which the American League East team sent pitchers Josh Winckowski, Sean Reid-Foley and Yennsy Diaz to the Mets, the Blue Jays are adding Steven Matz, a hometown hero, who has stayed in touch with his roots, as well as a three-time nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. A graduate of Ward Melville High School, Matz continued to inspire his former coaches and students, remaining humble and approachable despite the glitz and glare of a baseball career that included a memorable start in the 2015 World Series against the Kansas City Royals. “Every year, [Matz] will come back” to Ward Melville High School, said baseball coach Lou Petrucci. “He’s very accessible. If you ask him to do something, he does it.” One day, Petrucci said of his former pitcher, Matz did bus duty at W. S. Mount

Obituary

Reverend and former Three Village resident, Hugh Nevin The Rev. Dr. Hugh Gould Nevin Jr. of Slingerlands, New York, died peacefully Jan. 22 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one week shy of his 88th birthday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after a battle with cancer. He is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Vaughn (nee Lainhart), and their children Alison (Bernard) Sheahan of Arlington, Virginia; Christopher (Karen) Nevin of Moretown, Vermont; and Faith (David) Libby of Scotia, New York; by eight grandchildren Aidan Nevin (Hannah Shihdanian), Cameron Nevin, Samantha Sheahan, John Sheahan, William Sheahan, Amy Sheahan, Kristin Libby and Michael Libby; and three greatgrandchildren Bella, Jaime and Bear Nevin. Hugh was predeceased by his parents, his younger brother David Nevin, sister-in-law Janet Nevin and by his cousin Charles Wirls. Hugh was born in Pittsburgh and was the son of Hugh Gould Nevin, a successful banker, and Eda McCoy Nevin, a vibrant Wellesley College grad. Both his father and mother were descendants of the original Scots-Irish settlers of western Pennsylvania. (Hugh had a passionate interest in family genealogy, his history of the Nevin family name becoming one of his two published books.) Pittsburgh also left its mark on Hugh as a lifelong Pittsburgh

Pirates and Steelers fan. Hugh was a graduate of Mercersburg Academy, Williams College, Union Theological Seminary and finally, Columbia University Teachers College where he earned a doctorate in Religion and Education. He became an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church (PC) USA in 1959, honorably retiring in 1996. He served the congregations of Peekskill PC, Peekskill, New York; Westminster PC, Albany; Ballston Spa PC, Ballston Spa, New York; Trinity PC, Scotia, New York; First United PC, Troy, New York; Hamilton Union PC, Guilderland, New York; First Reformed PC, Glenville, New York; Bethany PC, Menands, New York; and the First Presbyterian Church of Albany. He also served a term as Moderator of Albany Presbytery and for twenty years as a Director of Auburn Theological Seminary. Hughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for education and for supporting youth to spread peace and understanding led him to become a campus minister in 1963. He initiated and eventually built a Long Island-wide collaboration of â&#x20AC;&#x153;towngownâ&#x20AC;? ministries to 22 campuses for over 16 years. SUNY Stony Brook was his home base and the community in which he and his family resided for that time. His work during those

years included many social justice projects, including seeking support for foreign students at universities, participating in racial justice events like the 1963 March on Washington with fellow ministers, fighting discriminatory housing practices, counseling for Vietnam war conscientious objectors, co-creating a community crisis hotline and co-founding a unique shopping mall-based youth ministry.

From 1980 until retirement Hugh provided ministry staffing at both Union College, Schenectady and SUNY Albany and initiated several projects as an employee of the United Ministries Board of Education for NY State. Hugh treasured his family life, supporting the education and dreams of his wife, children and grandchildren. He loved to travel and led the family on many wonderful adventures across the US and Europe. He loved to sing and had a glorious baritone voice. He sang in school, community and church choirs for his entire life, with choirs such as at Setauket Presbyterian Church and, most recently, the First Presbyterian Church of Albany and community groups like Albany Pro Musica and, most recently, the Beverwyck Chorale. His rendition of the spiritual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Were You There?â&#x20AC;? (sung at a Good Friday service) is among several indelible musical memories for family members. Hugh will be remembered most for his endless kindness and gentle wisdom. He gave fully of his love and in return was deeply loved by his family and many friends. Contributions may be made in his memory to a religious or educational institution or charity of choice. A memorial service will be planned for a future date.

REMEMBER TO KEEP SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THAT THIS WILL END If you would like a confidential, compassionate professional person to talk to, I am a psychotherapist working with adults, couples and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, bereavement and trauma.

Wishing you serenity and good health,

Editorial

Let it snow

The first day of February reminded us that winter is still here, and a foot or more of snow can fall from the sky at any time wreaking havoc on our everyday lives. Heavy snowfalls may be welcomed by skiers and children, but for everyone else the snow can be a nuisance and even a danger. On Monday, as with previous storms, weather forecasters and elected officials reminded residents to stay off roads if they didn’t need to go out. In the past, despite those warnings, many found themselves still having to go to work. Nowadays, after trying to navigate business during a pandemic for months, companies have learned that a good deal of work can be done from home. For nearly a year, employers and employees all over the country have embraced the use of email, Google, Zoom, messaging platforms such as Slack and more. Some in New York had no choice in the beginning as many businesses in the state that were deemed nonessential were required to close down. Others have chosen, even after the shutdowns were lifted, to continue having employees work from home to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. The use of modern technology has kept the work flowing and employees connected. Many have found that their workers are more efficient as there are fewer distractions at home, and without having to deal with their commutes, many are willing to take the time they would have been in the car, bus or train and use it to do more work. Working from home can be a game changer not only during long-term shutdowns or for taking care to keep employees healthy, but it can also be used when driving just isn’t wise, especially for workers who have strict deadlines to meet. Imagine, now employees on a snowy day are less stressed because they don’t have to worry about hazardous roads. During a pandemic, the work-from-home option has helped to keep employees healthy, and on the day of a storm, it helps keep them safe. In turn, the fewer people on the road, the fewer calls police officers receive, which in turn keeps them safe, too. Because, it doesn’t matter what type of car a person has, whether big or small, if snow is blowing across the roads and visibility is compromised, it’s not wise to be on the road Law enforcement and health care workers need to be out on the roads to get to their jobs to keep the public safe and healthy, the rest of our jobs aren’t as essential. Let’s take what we’ve learned in 2020 and apply it in the future to keep residents safe. If there is one lesson that we can take with us from the pandemic, it’s that things can be done differently and still produce the same results. Will there be more snow this winter? We don’t know, but what we do know we’re ready for it. Bring it on!

Letters to the Editor

Zeldin’s actions are not bipartisan Much as I would prefer to let go [Suffolk County Legislator] Robert Trotta’s [R-Fort Salonga] claim that U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] is “seeking to prevent further national division during this volatile time,” I cannot for a simple reason: It’s just not true. On the very day President Joe Biden [D] was inaugurated calling for unity and bipartisanship, Zeldin blasted out an email attacking the new president’s “radical agenda” and ranting about “power-hungry elites on the far left.” This is not the rhetoric of someone trying to prevent division. One of the first groups Zeldin met with after he entered Congress in 2015 was Oath Keepers. This is the same fringe group founded by a man who had already called John McCain a “traitor” who should be “hung by the neck until dead.” That’s the same heavily armed group now identified by federal authorities as being in the thick of the insurrectionist mob which ransacked the Capitol and threatened to murder Vice President Mike Pence [R] and members of Congress. This is not the company kept by someone seeking bipartisanship.

After the insurrectionist mob was finally cleared out of the Capitol by police officers, one of whom was already fatally injured at its hands, Zeldin unashamedly voted to nullify millions of votes in two states, propagating the “stop the steal” lie that was responsible for the murderous riot in the first place. I have yet to see any statement from Zeldin that he’s sorry or that either he or former President Donald Trump [R] did anything wrong. Even Kevin McCarthy [R], the minority leader in the House and certainly no moderate, acknowledged that Trump “bears responsibility” for the “attack on Congress by mob rioters.” But from Zeldin, nothing — only attacks on Democrats to deflect from what happened. This is not the behavior of someone who wants to heal division. Zeldin’s voting record is not at all bipartisan. The computerized index of bipartisanship cited by Trotta is essentially meaningless, because it relies exclusively on whether a lawmaker sponsors or cosponsors legislation with members of the opposite party. It ignores a lawmaker’s voting record. It ignores the importance of the legislation, such as whether it names

a post office, or is nothing more than a symbolic gesture co-sponsoring a bill destined never to make it out of committee. It’s a great way to mislead, though. As for all the supposed “accomplishments” Trotta cites on Zeldin’s behalf, Zeldin was simply doing what any warm body representing the 1st Congressional District would do, namely, lobbying for as much pork for our district as he could possibly procure. Congressmen love to brag about their supposed accomplishments bringing home the bacon and to make out that they alone did it. The reality is that most or all of this would have happened with somebody else representing us. Let’s be honest. Far from being a unifier, Zeldin early on calculated that his best political strategy was to pander to his Trump base, echo Trump’s falsehoods and act as a Republican attack dog. Whether this strategy will continue to work for him, as the true cost of the chaos and divisiveness of the Trump era becomes clearer, remains to be seen. David Friedman St. James

In response to Trotta’s Jan. 21 letter Suffolk Legislator Robert Trotta’s [R-Fort Salonga] letter of Jan. 21 “Zeldin’s Suffolk County accomplishments” heralds several “accomplishments” of U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [R-NY1] in Congress. Certainly, other Long Island and New York state members of Congress were also involved. But whatever role he played in these are welcomed. Yet they pale in comparison to his vote to deny the certification of the vote of the outcome of the election of now President Joe Biden [D] and Vice President Kamala Harris [D] after the Electoral College vote determined they were the winners of the election. Zeldin took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States

... bear true faith and allegiance to the same ... So help me God.” The Constitution states: “The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; — The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority.” His job, according to the 12thAmendment, was to count the votes. Apparently, Congressman Zeldin cannot count. The time and way to question the vote of any given state was through the courts prior to the meeting of the Electoral College. He failed to do so. His president, however,

through his personal attorneys, did and appealed to several courts in several states and the Supreme Court. All of these courts found no basis for overturning the vote. He may not have liked the results but in the United States as per Thomas Paine “the law is King.” The courts have the final say in such matters and all citizens must abide by their ruling. This is fundamental to The Rule of Law. Zeldin failed to accept the ruling of the law. He placed himself and his president above the law. This makes him unfit to serve in Congress where he took an oath to bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution. J. Rafael Aguayo Setauket

Clarification needed regarding socialism The term “socialism” has bounced around for months. Normally logical people whisper, with fear in their voices and horror on their faces, “We are now heading toward socialism with [President] Biden.” They sound much like my mother did in the 1950s when she uttered that dreaded word “divorce” regarding my Aunt Edna.

The American public needs clarification: What is socialism? What is it not? I invite those who are concerned to research it. You will find that socialism provides government sponsored services and benefits. In this country, that translates into unemployment, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, free public education

(no tuition), farm subsidies, among others. We are still a democracy. However, I hope that the Americans who are suffering financially will find relief spending their government-issued “socialist” stimulus checks. Sue Parker Stony Brook

Opinion

Bird expert shares thoughts on snowstorms, snowy owls and snow angels

or the past week, I’ve had birds on my brain. For starters, Central Park birders headed to the famous urban greenway recently to catch sight of a snowy owl, the ﬁrst time people documented the presence of the bird in the park in about 130 years. I wrote to a bird expert, Noah Strycker, who is both a celebrated avian author, having written “Birding without Borders,” and a master’s candidate at Stony D. None Brook University of the above in the laboratory BY DANIEL DUNAIEF of Heather Lynch, a penguin scientist and the IACS Endowed Chair for Ecology & Evolution. Strycker responded to numerous questions

about the owl and the snowstorm that blanketed the region earlier this week. In response to a question about exactly what might bring a snowy owl to the city, Strycker suggested that these birds often “irrupt,” a word for traveling greater distances than normal, south from their normal Arctic range in winters following good breeding summers. “Their appearance in New York may be related to an abundance of lemmings in the Arctic last summer,” Strycker wrote. In other words, these well-fed birds may have been able to journey further from the Arctic after a bountiful summer. While Strycker didn’t catch sight of the owl this time, he did see one on Long Island last winter. They appear on the south shore almost every year, although it’s unusual to see one in Central Park because they prefer beaches and open areas, which are closer to a normal tundra habitat. As for the rare birds Strycker has seen in the area, he said he got to see a Western

Tanager and an Ash Throated Flycatcher in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn this fall. These are birds from the western part of the country, which don’t visit the Empire State too often. Vagrant birds, which occur in areas outside their typical range, can appear in the area, a byproduct of a wrong turn during a long migration. So, what happens to birds during a snowstorm, I wondered. For the snowy owl, if he were still here, the precipitation probably wouldn’t have been much of a problem, as his name suggests. “Flying through falling snowflakes isn’t as much of an issue as flying in high winds, which do, occasionally, literally blow birds off course,” Strycker wrote. During the storm, many bird species will tuck themselves in a protected spot, like in a dense tree to ride out the flakes. “This is a good time to watch your hedges and evergreen trees, which provide nice cover in the winter,” Strycker suggested. Strycker said people could do seed eating

birds — like sparrows, finches, cardinals, doves, chickadees, and jays — a favor by restocking a feeder before a snowstorm. “They will all come to bird feeders for sunflower seeds and suet,” he said. Snowy owls, on the other hand, don’t need handouts or feeders. They find their food, typically small mammals, by using their keen senses of sight and hearing. Shaped like a disc, an owl’s face concentrates faint sounds of rustling under the snow, allowing it to find prey it can’t see. Strycker has always wanted to find an owl footprint in the snow, which looks like a snow angel. The owl lands on the snowy landscape to find its prey and lifts off, leaving footprint evidence of its meal. As for the effect of the snow on a bird’s survival, Strycker said most of the birds in the area manage through the colder months. “Snowstorms have been occurring in New York for a very long time, so birds that spend the winter here have mostly adapted to surviving them,” Strycker wrote.

Pssst! There is an electric automobile in your future

hen General Motors announced last week that the company would aim to sell only electric cars and trucks by 2035, it shook up the industry. There are already electric cars on the road, although they number fewer than one percent. Tesla, the electric car maker, has been much in the news lately since Wall Street values the company at more than ten times that of General Motors, and indeed, more than Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford and General Between Motors combined. you and me Nonetheless, this BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF was a sharp turn for G.M. And as the largest automaker in the United States and the fourth largest in the world, what G.M. does affects everyone else down the automotive line.

It is no coincidence that the announcement came only a day after President Biden signed an executive order directing his administration to ﬁght the problem of climate change. The Environmental Protection Agency is developing tough new tailpipe pollution regulations to control the largest source of planet-warming emissions in the short term. G.M. is aligning itself with the new administration’s goal in its drive to electric power. Furthermore, just three months ago, China ordered that most vehicles sold there must be electric by 2035. China is G.M.’s and the world’s largest market. So all roads would seem to be pointing to a preponderance of electric cars by 2035, at least as of the present. But there remains a signiﬁcant hurdle in the production of electric cars. While countries can certainly create charging stations along the roads in the same fashion as we now have gas stations, and President Biden has asked for 500,000 public charger stations to be built by 2030, the challenge is the batteries required by the cars.

The battery packs have to be big, and right now to be big means to be expensive. Gasoline engines for equivalent cars cost less than half as much. China is the leading producer of these batteries, and of electric motors, which is not surprising since Chinese leadership has long viewed its dependence on oil imports as a considerable vulnerability. Therefore, major auto companies, like Daimler and Toyota, are already manufacturing their electric cars in China. So will many of the Ford Mustang Mach-E models be made there. Tesla started making cars in Shanghai over a year ago to sell in China. So, folks, it would seem that in our not-toodistant future, we are destined to own electric cars. G.M. is planning to spend $27 billion to introduce 30 electric models by 2025, just a short generation away for those buying new cars this year. They are building a plant in Ohio to make batteries for those vehicles and to develop better batteries. G.M. now feels it could make electric vehicles that would cost no more than gasoline ones. And when G.M. in October offered its Hummer electric pick-up

truck, enough orders had come in within a day to ﬁll the entire year’s planned production. The Chinese have cleverly offered their huge consumer market in exchange for technical information. Through joint ventures with companies of other nations, along with their own considerable research, they have become the leader in battery development. Further rounding out the picture for the urgency of electric vehicles is the ban by Britain, Ireland and the Netherlands on new gasoline and diesel cars as of 2030. Utility companies will have to improve their output by as much as 25 percent, which they can do at considerable expense. Guess who will be paying the tab! But the increased rates should be offset by the savings in gasoline, at least that would be the plan. Power plants would also have to engage in some sort of rotation so that not everyone can charge their vehicles at the same time. They would also help the global climate change situation by using more solar and wind instead of coal and natural gas, in short by cleaning up the power grid.
