Emma S. Clark Memorial Library recently announced its 2019 Summer Reading Club theme, A Universe of Stories. Children from birth to sixth-grade are invited to join SRC by registering online right from the library’s homepage, through a free app, or in person in the Children’s Department. After registering, each child will receive a new, sturdy reusable book bag while supplies last. Registration is ongoing throughout the summer and does not have to be done by a certain date. Patrons may download the free Beanstack Tracker app (available on iTunes or Google Play stores) or they may log their reading through the Amazon Echo (instructions at www.emmaclark. org/summerreading2019). Besides acting as an online book log, there are other benefits to recording what has been read via the website, app or Alexa, such as weekly book recommendations based on your child’s interests. When the child logs their books read, he/she will receive colorful electronic badges and be notified of prizes earned. Parents and children will also be able to view themed booklists on topics of interest. Starting Monday, July 1, earned weekly prizes will be awarded to children who read at least one book each week. There will be weekly prizes for each child, as well as weekly raffle

prizes (including, for children who earn seven badges, a raffle to win an iPad mini) in the Children’s Department. Any child may register for SRC, even if they can’t make it to the library each week. The library also holds a friendly competition among the local elementary schools. The school that has the highest percentage of children that sign up for and finish SRC (each child must read at least seven books to complete the program) will have their school and year inscribed on the Emma Cup trophy. Minnesauke won the coveted trophy three years in a row, and last year Nassakeag dethroned them. SRC ends on Aug. 31, and the winning school will be announced in September. Families can check Emma Clark Library’s newsletter for events and classes this summer (www.emmaclark.org/newsletters). If there are any questions about SRC, an email can be sent to kids@emmaclark.org or call 631-9414080, ext. 123. Teens also have a Summer Reading Club and may pick up an entry form at the Adult Reference Desk. The more books they read, the greater their chance of winning one of the gift baskets that are given away in August at the end of the program. The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library is located at 120 Main St., Setauket.

Poquott debuts new community dock BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Just in time for the first day of summer, the Village of Poquott debuted its new community dock at California Park June 21. Before cutting the ribbon, Mayor Dee Parrish thanked the dozens of residents who attended the event for their support of the dock on behalf of herself and the village board of trustees. John Tsunis, president of Gold Coast Bank, was also on hand to help cut the ribbon. Tsunis is a resident of the village, and the dock was financed through the bank. It was the first time he saw the dock, he said, and he described it as beautiful and well-designed. “It adds to the quality of life for the residents of Poquott,” he said after the ribbon cutting. “I think it’s a beautiful addition. We live on the water so it’s very appropriate to have a dock and a pier for people to use, and I’m very proud of it.” The community dock, located at the end of Washington Street, had been a topic of debate in the village for nearly a decade as many were against it, fearing an increase in taxes and wanting the final decision to be made with a public referendum. A few years ago, the village board of trustees began the process of building

the dock by sending out questionnaires to residents to get their feedback. The night of the ribbon cutting the residents on hand celebrated with champagne, ice cream and taking walks on the new dock, which also has a floating dock to help boaters load and unload their crafts. “It’s a perfect addition to a beach community,” Parrish said after the ceremony. “I am touched by all the residents that came together to make this project a reality. The community dock will be used and enjoyed for many, many years — that makes me feel that all the hours of work have paid off.” — Photos by Rita J. Egan

SBU announces new interim president BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Long Island drinking water quality worries lawmakers BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Long Island congressional delegation has reached a tipping point. They’re ready for the Environmental Protection Agency to take action to better address concerns over water quality and its potential impact on human health. U.S. Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), Kathleen Rice (D-Garden City), Peter King (R-Seaford) and Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) were joined June 18 by local elected officials and environmental advocates at the Town of Hempstead Water Department to demand that the EPA sets maximum contaminant levels for drinking water and acts to help protect Long Islanders from contaminated drinking supplies. “When it comes to our communities’ drinking water, there is no room for error,” Zeldin said following the press conference. “This is the drinking water for so many Long Islanders, and failure to act is not an option.” New York Public Interest Research Group, or NYPIRG, found in a recent study that Long Island has the most contaminated drinking water in New York state. Several contaminants, such as 1,4-dioxane and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — known as PFAS — were detected above the EPA’s reference concentrations, which are health-based assessments. The problem is widespread. Locally, the chemical 1,4-dioxane was found in at least two private drinking wells in Smithtown and also in wells serviced by Suffolk County Water Authority, including the Flower Hill Road well field in Halesite, as reported in

The Times of Smithtown April 30 article, “County acts to address drinking water contamination concerns.” Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, said that 65 out of 80 commonly used household products that the organization had tested included at least trace amounts of the potentially toxic chemical 1,4-dioxane. CCE is calling for a ban on its use. Zeldin is a member of the Congressional PFAS Task Force, which was established to address the urgent threat of PFAS to help better protect communities from the harmful effects of the chemicals. The use of industrial strength firefighting foam during past training exercises, such as those undertaken at the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant in Calverton and Francis S. Gabreski Air National Guard Base, have been known to introduce chemicals, such as PFAS, into the surrounding groundwater, potentially contaminating drinking supplies. PFAS is a man-made substance that is persistent in the human body and the environment. It can also be found in nonstick products, polishes, waxes, paints, cleaning products and packaging. Some PFAS are no longer manufactured in the U.S., according to the EPA website, but can be produced internationally and imported to U.S. in consumer goods such as carpets, textiles, paper and packaging, rubber and plastics. The EPA Region 2 Office spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment before press time.

SBU, Bernstein served as the John Christie Barr professor of History and Economics and provost and chief academic officer at Tulane University in New Orleans from 2007 through 2016. “I am filled with enormous gratitude for the opportunity to serve Stony Brook University in this new role,” Bernstein said in a statement. “Our university is a spectacular place — and it flourishes today due to the impact of an exemplary decade of accomplishment, growth and excellence that is Sam Stanley’s legacy. I eagerly look forward to my ongoing work with faculty, staff and students in pursuit of our shared mission as one of the nation’s premier academic institutions.”

Stony Brook University is preparing for the next academic year. On June 20, SBU President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr. sent an email to students, faculty and staff announcing that the State University of New York Board of Trustees appointed Provost Michael Bernstein interim president of SBU. The new position will be effective on or about Aug. 1. “Michael is an outstanding selection for this role,” Stanley said in the email. “During his threeyear tenure as provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs at Stony Brook he has made extraordinary contributions to every aspect of the university. His decisive and energetic leadership has been welcome and needed, and Stony Brook University is fortunate to have his steady hand at the helm going forward.” On May 28, it was announced that Stanley will be leaving SBU and taking on the role of president at Michigan State University. According to a press release from SBU, Bernstein was appointed provost in October 2016, and he oversaw initiatives aimed at supporting the school’s missions in research, scholarship, art-making and teaching.

Corner Animal Hospital

Corner Animal Hospital is conveniently located at 24 Woods Corner Road in Setauket at the Southeast corner of the intersection of 25A and Nicolls Road. This building was previously the Corner Bookshop, a small business owned and operated by the Mullens for 35 years. The transformation to the Corner Animal Hospital occurred in 2000 when one of Stony Brook’s first veterinarians, Wendel Moore closed his practice. There are three veterinarians at Corner Animal Hospital. It is owned by Judith Lombardi-Daniels and Dorothy Hayes, a native Long Islander from Farmingville. Sarah Reed joined their team nine years ago. A three-doctor practice ensures your pet can be seen 7 days a week and enables your pets’ care to be managed by three University of Pennsylvania-trained veterinarians with many years of combined experience.

This year’s barbecue, chaired by Charlie Lefkowitz and Michael Ardolino, will be August 7 from 6 p.m. to dusk. There will be music, children’s games, raffles and a chance to see fire trucks up close.

Chabad celebrates grand opening BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It was a beautiful day for a homecoming June 23. Village Chabad, formerly known as Chabad at Stony Brook, opened the doors to its new center at 360 Nicolls Road in East Setauket Sunday. More than 500 were on hand for the grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting to help Rabbi Chaim Grossbaum and Rivkie Grossbaum, codirectors, the Chabad’s other rabbis and family members celebrate a new beginning. Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) presented Chaim Grossbaum with a proclamation naming June 23 Village Chabad Day. “This is a great day for people of faith,” Romaine said. “Faith is the most important thing that we have — a strong belief in God, a strong ethics system. And this facility is a blessing and a beacon in this town, and we are so proud of this grand opening this day.” Grossbaum thanked everyone for attending the Chabad’s ribbon cutting, calling the new center everyone’s home. “Here at the Village you’ll spend time with your expanded community family,” Grossbaum said. “You’ll come to be inspired. You’ll come to relax. You’ll come to study or meet up with a friend over a cup of coffee.” The grand opening event included a singing performance from a number of the Hebrew school’s children and a tour of the new facility. After the ribbon cutting, many broke into a traditional circle dance to celebrate. The Chabad had outgrown its former location

in Lake Grove, and the rabbis would rent out local venues such as The Neighborhood House and the Holiday Inn Express at Stony Brook to hold events. Grossbaum said many celebrations such as bar and bat mitzvahs were celebrated in tents at his house. The 13,000-square-foot Village Chabad, which cost nearly $5 million, sits on 8.8 acres of property, 2.8 acres of it having been developed. There are classrooms, study rooms, a sanctuary, a conference room, backyard, patio and a room that can hold 200 for events and holiday dinners.

NYS passes pivotal energy bill to address planetary warming the next 30 years, and it will be guided by a 22-member state panel called the Climate Action Council. The council will be made up of state agencies, scientists and individuals in the environmental justice, labor and other regulated industries. The bill requires the council to create a scoping plan that will set out recommendations for reducing emissions across all sectors of the economy, including transportation, building, industrial, commercial and agricultural.

New York lawmakers aim to tackle the climate change issue head on: It passed June 20 a bill that will largely eliminate fossil-fuel emissions by 2050. The bill, called the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, will require incremental changes to the state’s infrastructure. By 2030, the state plans to obtain 70 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources, shifting entirely to carbon-free electricity by 2040 and cutting Impacts and risks for selected natural, managed and human systems greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels. Part of the plan includes developing and implementing measures that remove carbon dioxide, a heattrapping gas, from the atmosphere. New York joins California, Nevada, Hawaii, Washington, New Mexico, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico in committing to clean energy power. The initiative comes in response to the current administration bailing out of the United Nation’s landmark 2015 Paris Agreement to build a lowConfidence Level for transition: L=Low, M=Medium, H=High and VH=Very high carbon future and scaling back on many other environmental Extreme weather events, coastal flooding, crop yields, brush fires and disruption of fisheries and other ecosystems are among measures and regulations. the many concerns.

the final version of the bill weaken the original intent we set out as a coalition to directly invest resources in vulnerable communities,” Tyson said in a statement. “Although the bill includes a nod toward prevailing wage, the governor’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act removes mandates to secure specific worker protections, job growth and training included in previous editions of the Climate and Community Protection Act, which are essential to a just transition off of fossil fuels.” Other county officials weighed in on the passage of the bill. “As chair of the Suffolk County Environment Committee, I understand how crucial it is to our children’s futures that we take measurable steps to counteract human-induced climate change,” Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) said in a statement. “I am proud to say that I am from a state that recognizes the importance of environmental consciousness, and that takes the action necessary toward progress. I commend Governor Cuomo and the New York State Legislature for reaching an agreement that will ensure measurable reductions in carbon emissions and promote clean energy and a greener economy.” Once the bill is signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), it will become law. Englebright stressed it is going to take a collaborative effort to make sure this plan will work. “It is going to take recognition from people that this is not some made up problem, It is not a fake science,” he said. “We will need to work together to solve this.” Scientists from the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change have been recommending to policymakers the 70 to 85 percent reduction of fossil fuel use by 2050 to curb the worst impacts of a warming planet.

Setauket Fire Department looks toward the future with new facility BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Setauket Fire Department’s Engine Company #1 firehouse is officially up and running. Hundreds of residents, along with Setauket fire commissioners, legislators and volunteer firefighters, both local and neighboring, were on hand to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the renovated firehouse on the corner of Main Street and Old Town Road June 23. Jay Gardiner, fire commissioner and chairman of the board, said the department has been serving the community for 108 years. “Today we mark a milestone in that history as the beautiful new building you see in front of you is a reaffirmation of our commitment to this community, as well as a symbol of the dedication we have to the mission of the Setauket Fire Department, which is to ensure the protection of life and property to our residents,” Gardiner said. The Setauket Fire Department, which also includes stations on Arrowhead Lane and Nicolls Road, has nearly 200 volunteers, career staff and support personnel who serve an estimated 95,000 people during the day and 26,000 residents in the evening, Gardiner said. The fire district, which has its headquarters at Hulse Road, also covers Stony Brook University and its hospital in an about 28-square-mile area. The fire commissioner said the new 23,000-square-foot Main Street facility includes solar heated water, LED lighting, energy recovery ventilation heating/cooling

system, a large meeting room, training room and bunk rooms for overnight crews, while the entire building is Americans with Disabilities Act compliant. “This structure is modern, yet it maintains the historical integrity of our building, complete with the brickwork matching the original building which faces 25A,” he said. The original southeast corner that was once an asphalt parking lot, he said, is now a green space “to enjoy the view of the historical center of our town.” Gardiner said the fire department hopes the large glacial erratic rock that now sits on the green space will become a new landmark, and he joked that it was a “custom import” found during the excavation of the property. Among those who spoke before the ribbon cutting was Paul Rodier, chief of department, who thanked the members and their families for their support, especially those who belong to Engine Company #1. “You guys went without a building for about three years,” he said. “A lot of cold nights to stand by with no heat, plastic chairs.” State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) complimented the fire district for reaching out to the community when it came to renovating and adding on to the building. “This is a triumph,” Englebright said. “What we’re really looking at is protection and security for our community that deserves both. We are looking at a monument to the creative cooperation between our civics and our fire service. This is in the heart of a historic district, so I really want to salute the fire department and fire district for

working to make sure that the essence of this place, this place of Setauket, is reflected in the architecture and in the materials that this building is constructed of. Well done and thank you.” Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) were also in attendance to present the fire department with proclamations. “Today we’re looking at a building that some people said, ‘Well, it costs a lot of money,’ but 50 years from now we’ll look

back and say what a wise decision was made to invest in a building that provides fire services and ambulance services to all the people in the Setauket area,” Romaine said. After the speeches, William Engels, a 50year veteran, cut the ribbon surrounded by his fellow firefighters, and the new alarm was sounded. The Setauket Elementary School band also performed during the event, and residents were invited to tour the new facility and to discuss volunteer opportunities with firefighters.

Editorial

Time to RISE

While the U.S. women’s soccer team waits to enter mediations regarding the discrepancy between their pay and the men’s team’s earnings, Suffolk County women, as well as racial and ethnic minority workers, are about to enter a more even playing field when they decide to apply for a new job starting June 30 thanks to a new law. We say it’s about time. Historically, women along with racial and ethnic minority workers have earned lower than average wages. Before passing the law, the county Legislature used an April 2018 New York State Department of Labor report that found women in the county earn 78 percent for what their male counterparts earn. The statewide percentage is 87. The same report cited that in New York African American or black women earn 64 percent and Latino or Hispanic women earn 53 percent of what men earn. The Legislature recently decided to do something about the injustice by creating a local law, called the RISE (Restrict Information Regarding Salary and Earnings) Act, to restrict divulging earnings history during the interview process. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) signed the legislation into law in November. This means when a Suffolk County resident searches for a new job, they will not be haunted by their last salary. Now, employers and employment agencies cannot ask for salary history on applications or during interviews. In addition to women and minority workers being offered less in the past, there are also cases where people have been out of work for a long time — whether due to layoffs, taking care of children or a sick relative — who take the first job they are offered, regardless of pay just to get back on track careerwise. This can cause problems when they apply for a job and the company asks for their salary history. The job applicant might be offered a salary below the range the employer was originally thinking. The employer may see it as an opportunity to save money, thinking if the applicant got by on their last wage, why would they need much more. But no more. Now employers have to decide how much they believe a job is worth, then offer that salary. And while it makes sense that there may be a salary range based on experience, it also makes sense to pay people similar pay for doing the same job. And the law benefits more than women and ethnic and racial minority workers; it even helps those who are leaving a highpaying position. In the past, if someone wanted to travel down a different career path, they may have been willing to accept a lower salary. But a company may not have called them for an interview when they saw how much they made at previous jobs, thinking they wouldn’t take a lower salary. In the end, the new law may even help the local economy. With more money in women’s bank accounts, they will have more buying power or the opportunity to escape from dysfunctional relationships and get a place of their own. Confirmed with a bipartisan, unanimous vote, the Suffolk County Legislature apparently believes the RISE Act will help break the cycle of wage discrimination in the area. We agree, and we say to those who have felt stuck in their financial situation that now is the time to RISE and shine.

Letters to the editor

Horseshoe crabs need help from state DEC As a New York representative to the citizens advisory panel of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission for horseshoe crabs, I enjoyed reading Ken Taub’s article on this fascinating species in a recent “Your Turn” column (Arts & Lifestyles, June 20). As the article mentions, horseshoe crabs are taken for bait for the whelk and eel ﬁsheries, and in some states, but not New York, they are bled to provide LAL, a life-giving compound isolated from their blood that helps detect bacterial contamination — about 15 percent of bled crabs die. 150,0000 crabs are taken from New York waters each year to be used for bait, based on the annual quota established by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The problem with this approach is that the overwhelming number of crabs harvested — females are highly preferred — are taken just as they come ashore to spawn, with many being taken before they can do so. This is unique among harvest regulations — we certainly don’t allow for pregnant deer to be killed nor turkeys shot in the spring when they have young, for to do so, as wildlife managers know, would jeopardize the future of

the species. But this is precisely what we allow for horseshoe crabs — permit them to be yanked from the spawning beach thereby removing them from the reproductive pool before they have the opportunity to make the next generation. To mitigate this, the DEC has been encouraged to shut down the harvest for several days around the new and full moons in the months of May and June when crab spawning activity is at its peak, a strategy used in Massachusetts. I strongly hope they will act to implement this worthwhile management strategy. Better yet, we may be at a game-

changing moment regarding the management of horseshoe crabs. One company has had success in synthesizing LAL in the laboratory, which in the future may mean the end of bleeding crabs and, more importantly, another one is in the process of producing an alternative bait for the whelk and eel ﬁsheries that uses no crab at all. If these advances come to pass, this living fossil can rebound, and its numbers can recover to the levels I and others remember from our childhood. John Turner Setauket

Congress should reauthorize 9/11 fund Almost 18 years ago, our nation experienced the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil in the history of our nation, and these many years later, it’s not over. On Sept. 11, 2001, and in its wake, there were countless heroes who stepped up to the plate without a moment’s hesitation when our country needed them most. In the face of unconscionable evil, they were the ones who ran in when everyone ran out, who worked 12-hour shifts on the pile for months returning victims to their families, and who refused to bow in the face of fear and helped hold our country together. In 2011, to help these heroes, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was signed into law, and ﬁve years later the Zadroga Act was permanently reauthorized and included $4.6 billion for the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. The VCF was established to provide compensation for the victims of 9/11 and their families while continuing to provide

compensation for those suffering from 9/11-related illnesses and their loved ones. However, in February, the special master of the fund issued an alarming report, which stated its funding was insufficient to compensate all claims and the fund would have to make up to 70 percent cuts across the board. I can vividly recall in years past how so many first responders who had fallen ill were forced to come to our nation’s capital to beg for the benefits they rightfully earned. Now, here we are again, not even four years later with sick and dying 9/11 first responders being forced to travel to Washington, D.C., to beg for the benefits that they have been promised. One of those heroes was Lou Alvarez, a 9/11 first responder, Long Islander and American patriot. In 2016, just like so many other 9/11 first responders, Lou was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, one of the thousands of cancers now attributed to the inhalation of the toxic

air and debris at Ground Zero. Just two weeks ago, Lou gave the most inspiring speech before the House Judiciary Committee and, immediately afterward, he rushed home for his 69th round of chemo. Unfortunately, when he got home, things didn’t go as expected. Lou went into hospice vowing to continue fighting until the very end so that other 9/11 first responders don’t have to. He said, “Still here. Still breathing. Still fighting.” Lou is an American hero, but his spirit and grit is representative of the thousands of 9/11 first responders who have fallen ill. For them and for our nation, Congress needs to do its job and pass H.R.1327, the Never Forget the Heroes Act, which would fully fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. In the aftermath of 9/11, we vowed we’d never forget. Now we must make sure of it. Lee Zeldin U.S. Congressional Rep. District 1 Shirley

Celebrating opportunities for people appreciation

e cry and laugh with movie characters, feeling their pain when their ﬁctional lover runs away with the neighbor or laughing with them when they share a joke, slip and fall, or embarrass themselves during a public speech. Long after we’ve put a book down, the characters join us as we commute back and forth to work. We feel the pain they D. None experienced during World War II when of the above they lost family BY DANIEL DUNAIEF members or neighbors. We are grateful that the main character who is battling his personal demons somehow survives unimaginable ordeals.

We stare into the faces of the huddled masses from pictures at Ellis Island, many of whom left the only home they’d ever known to start a new life in a place that has become, fortunately for so many of us, the only home we’ve ever known. We see the bags at the immigrants’ sides, the children in their arms who are our parents and grandparents, and the resolve in the arrivals’ eyes as they wait for their turn to pass through the gates to the New World. We read about people whose lives touch us so profoundly that we send money through GoFundMe pages. We don’t have any need to ask them whether they drink Coke or Pepsi, whether they’re a Democrat or a Republican, or if they support France or the United States in the Women’s World Cup. We want something better for them. What about all the people who surround us, who drive next to us on the same roads on the way to and from work, who stand in line with us at the movie theater, the deli or the Department of Motor Vehicles?

The people who share time and place with us are just as deserving of our sympathy, empathy and care, and yet we honk when the light turns green and they don’t go, we become irritated when they don’t understand our lunch order, and we snarl when our co-workers misunderstand an assignment. I would like to suggest that we spend one day every year, maybe this publication day, June 27, appreciating people. Let’s call it People Appreciation Day. This doesn’t and shouldn’t be a day when we trudge out to get a mass produced card that says, “Hey, I appreciate you.” This could be any level of appreciation we’d like to share. We could take an extra second to thank the cashier at the supermarket, who asks us for our store card and wants to know if we found everything OK. We can thank her and ask how she’s doing. When she answers, we might react accordingly: “Oh, happy birthday” or “Sorry to hear about your cat” or “I sometimes miss the place where I grew up, too.”

Maybe instead of honking when the light turns green, we can imagine — the way we would if we were looking at the title of a movie or the cover of a book — what the driver inside is feeling, thinking or experiencing. How is that any different from caring about a two-dimensional stranger in a book we’re holding? The people in our lives aren’t here to entertain or amuse us, but they can elicit our empathy, understanding and appreciation. We can, however, offer them the gift of care and concern. We can appreciate their efforts to meet their basic needs and their desire to strive for something better for themselves and their children. These other people are dedicated teachers, determined athletes, a thirdgeneration member of the military or a new neighbor from far away whose loneliness we can extinguish. Let’s take the time and put out the effort to appreciate them. When we do, we can beneﬁt from the opportunity for people appreciation to forge a human connection.

Summertime and something to think about

chools are out, or almost out, trees are lush with leaves, people are beginning to wear shorts and sandals, and the temperatures are ﬁnally approaching the high 80s. It seems to have stopped raining. The lines after dinner at ice cream parlors stretch out the door and down the street. Dogs have their tongues hanging out when being walked. And it’s light until almost 9 p.m. Between Summer, glorious you and me summer, has truly BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF arrived. It has been many years since my children enjoyed summer break from school’s routine and therefore I with

them. Yet the feeling of relaxation that summer ushers in still ﬂoods my being. This is the time to make a barbecue and invite friends, enjoy the summer sky over some nice port in the long evening, lounge in the backyard, splash at the beach, watch a baseball game, sleep in a bit and read, read, read those books and magazines that have piled up on the bedside table all year long. It’s also the time to sail, swim, play, get lost on long walks and, in so many other ways, rejoice in the outdoors. There is even time to think. Here is something tantalizing to think about. A letter published on the website Medium.com Monday, written and signed by a group of 18 billionaires, from 11 families, including ﬁnancier George Soros, co-founder of Facebook Chris Hughes, Abigail Disney and heirs to the Pritzker fortune, Liesel and Ian Simmons, urged government to tax them at a higher rate. They called for “a moderate wealth tax on the fortunes of the richest one-tenth of the richest 1 percent of Americans — on us.” Over the last three decades, the wealth of

the top 1 percent grew by $21 trillion. Who can even visualize such sums? But the wealth of the bottom 50 percent fell by $900 billion — not hard to visualize by comparison because we can see the effects on American lives. The letter follows a similar declaration by investment guru Warren Buffett in 2011 encouraging greater tax on the richest. He revealed that his effective tax rate was actually lower than that of any other 20 people in his ofﬁce. The richest pay 3.2 percent of their wealth in taxes versus 7.2 percent from the bottom 99 percent.

If we don’t do something to ﬁx the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us.” How is that for some heady stuff to occupy the mind and lessen any lazy guilt as our bodies are stretched out on the lounge?
