Brookhaven plans to remove invasive pepperweed at July 15 event.

Town to offer invasive species educational event

On July 15, the Town of Brookhaven will present an invasive species educational event at West Meadow Beach in Stony Brook from 3 to 6 p.m. The event coincides with New York State’s Invasive Species Awareness Week — July 9 through July 15. The West Meadow Beach event will help to educate the public on the threat to our local ecosystems from non-native, invasive plants. Participants will be led in small groups to strands of pepperweed and learn the biology of the plant and the disruption that non-native species can cause. There will also be a brief discus-

sion about additional species of invasive plants too widespread to control that are present in the town. The group will meet at the Trustees Road’s entrance at the south end of the parking lot. Participants should bring a water bottle which can be filled from the spring at the Ernst Center, a hat, insect repellent spray, lightweight long pants and a trowel and work gloves to pull pepperweed. Attendees should inform parking lot attendants at the entry that they are participating in the invasive species educational event. For more information, call 631-451-6457.

Summer reading at West Meadow Beach Emma S. Clark Memorial Library has provided a summer-long treat at West Meadow Beach. This is the second year in a row the library has erected the Little Free Library located under the beach’s pavillion. Made from recycled materials, the library is maintained by teen volunteers during the summer and follows a “take a book, leave a book” concept. There is no need for a library card and books do not need to be returned. The initial books for the Little Free Library were donated by the library staff and patrons, and do not belong to the library. “We see the Little Free Library as a great way to promote literacy and bring the library out into the community,” Ted Gutmann, director of Emma Clark Library, said. “Our hope is that the Little Free Library will help spread the joy of reading and discovery of new books.” The Town of Brookhaven and Nicole Pocchiare, environmental educator, have given their consent to host the Little Free Library at the beach. Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) attended the installation to show her support of this outreach service to the community. “I am so pleased that Emma Clark Library has provided West Meadow Beach with a Little Free Library again this year, “ Cartright said. “Easy accessibility of books during summer, the participation of coordinated student volunteers and the dedication of library staff helps makes our beach a delightful destination.”

The Little Free Library at West Meadow Beach is registered on www.littlefreelibrary. org and can be found on the site’s official map of all Little Free Libraries across the United States and 70 countries worldwide. According to the Little Free Library’s website, “[they] are hand-crafted structures filled with constantly changing collections of books donated and shared by people of all ages and backgrounds.” Their mission is to promote a sense of community, reading for children, and literacy for adults and libraries around the world.

Old Field looks to join Setauket Fire District By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com Old Field Village residents may have input in official matters of the Setauket Fire District in the near future depending on the outcome of a July 20 public hearing in Brookhaven Town. Village Mayor Michael Levine said Old Field currently receives contractual services from the Setauket Fire District and is now looking to become an official part of it. The inclusion of Old Field will require the district to expand its boundaries, which needs town approval. While nothing would change regarding fire and emergency medical services for the village, Old Field residents would have an official say in what goes on in the district if the motion passes — including voting on budgets, referendums, fire commissioners or running themselves. Village residents currently receive fire services and can volunteer as a firefighter, though they cannot vote in fire district elections. The mayor said for approximately 30 years Old Field has received emergency services on a contractual basis from the Setauket Fire District. In September, when

The first step of the possible expansion of the fire district was New York Gov. An-

drew Cuomo (D) signing a bill Sept. 29, 2016 that permitted the Brookhaven Town board to proceed with the process. The mayor said if the village had simply renewed the contract this year, it would have been significantly more than in previous years — from $385,000 to more than

$500,000. Fire services currently make up 40 percent of the village’s budget. If the town approves the expansion of the fire district, Levine said the current amount for contractual services will come off the village’s $1,115,500 budget, and residents will see a 40 percent reduction in their village taxes. The taxes for the fire district will then be line listed in residents’ Brookhaven tax bills as it is for all residents of the Three Village area. Levine said he hopes the upcoming town resolution will be approved. “[The Setauket Fire District has] always provided wonderful fire services to the village,” Levine said. “Nothing will change in that respect.” Dave Sterne, district manager of the Setauket Fire District, said the district is happy to continue their relationship with Old Field and looks forward to village members becoming more involved. Sterne said for the fire department there isn’t much of a difference between serving a community within the district or one that happens to have a contract with them. “We respond exactly the same way,” Sterne said.

Impeach Trump rally in PJ Station met with dueling realities By alEx pEtRoski alex@tbrnewspapers.com On the south corner of Routes 347 and 112 in Port Jefferson Station about 100 community members gathered to call for the impeachment of the 45th president of the United States July 2. And after hearing about the demonstration on Facebook, a few dozen of their neighbors assembled on the north corner of the intersection to voice their support for President Donald Trump (R). Though only six lanes of highway and a median separated the two groups, the ideological gulf between protestors and their interpretation of the first six months of the Trump presidency is seemingly growing by the second. Members of political activist organizations the North Country Peace Group, Long Island Rising and others organized the Impeach Trump rally. The groups have been involved in organizing similar rallies since Inauguration Day Jan. 20 to speak out about Trump’s position on climate change, nuclear proliferation and to commemorate International Women’s Day. To coincide with the Women’s March on Washington, D.C., Jan. 21, a sister march boasting attendance in the thousands took place at the same corner. The march calling for Trump’s impeachment Sunday had a different feel from previous events for two major reasons — a sizable group of Trump supporters gathered across the street to oppose the rally, and attendance was substantially lower compared to not only the massive Jan. 21 event but to all others organized by the groups of late as well. Organizers from the two groups on the

south corner pointed to the holiday weekend as an explanation for the waning number of attendees, rather than a potential decrease in enthusiasm for the Trump “resistance.” Though citizens on both corners acknowledged the heated political discourse is having an overall negative effect on the country, neither seemed ready to concede any ground. “The country has never been divided to the extent it is now, and the anger level is very, very high,” said Bill McNulty during the event, a member of the North Country Peace Group who has had a political radio talk show at Stony Brook University for 25 years. When asked how a rally calling for Trump’s ouster days before July Fourth might contribute to that divide, McNulty suggested supporters of the president are among those most likely to suffer from his policies, especially regarding health care and the environment. McNulty admitted discussion of Trump’s impeachment is premature due to the Republican majority in the House and Senate and because investigations regarding possible collusion between his campaign and Russia are still in the early stages. “What we have to do now is draw together these different organizations and focus on a couple of particular points that will enable us to really throw a fright into these politicians,” he said, also conceding political opposition from his corner would be productive if focused on specific issues, though he didn’t back down from his belief Trump is not fit for office. Across Route 347, most attendees declined to answer questions. Sean Bergin, a Ronkonkoma resident explained his motivation for occupying the north corner.

Jim Barr and other pro-trump community members, left, oppose the July 2 rally; right, community members call for trump’s impeachment. “They are out here actively trying to undermine a dually elected president,” he said, gesturing across the street. “The Democrat policies that they put forth have flooded Long Island’s streets with blood-thirsty gangsters in the form of MS13 and cheap heroin, which is killing our kids by the dozens and the hundreds every goddamn day. None of the media has the guts to point at Barack Obama’s failed immigration policies as the cause of that. We have a president now who’s putting a stop to that, and those people are terrified because they know it’s the end of the Democrat party.” Jim Barr, a Selden resident, Trump supporter and president of Long Island ABATE, a group dedicated to the training and education of American bikers, said the source of the anger across the street is Hillary Clinton’s loss in the election.

“This is the United States of America — key word ‘united,’” he said. “We’re all supposed to be on the same page. I didn’t vote for Barack Obama. That’s the last person I would have voted for, but I didn’t cry when he got elected.” Sound Beach resident Noreen Morrison, a member of Long Island Rising, explained the thinking behind a July Fourth weekend rally calling for the impeachment of a sitting president and the possibility it could heat up political rhetoric. “It’s the only thing we have available to us, peaceful protest,” she said. “I don’t want to see this country come to armed conflict between political factions.” Though there has been chatter on the Democratic side, no substantial move toward impeachment has accumulated to this point.

Old Field Continued from page A5 Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said in an email that the proposed expansion would have no fiscal impact on the town. “The Setauket Fire District is not a town-wide fire district,” she said. “Therefore any potential impact will be limited to the geographic boundaries covered by the Setauket Fire District.” Cartright also said after discussions with the town’s law department there will be no impact to current fire district residents if the expansion is approved. However, she said there is a possibility that Old Field residents may see a slight increase to their fire taxes compared to what

they are paying the village now. “If the Village of Old Field residents are included in the Setauket Fire District boundaries, village property owners will pay the exact same tax rate for fire protection services that existing fire district property owners pay,” she said. Sterne said the change will not affect the fire district’s budget as it’s based on needs, and they already serve Old Field. A map, plan and report of the proposed extension prepared by Farrell Fritz, P.C. will be available for review in the town clerk’s office Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at least 10 days before the public hearing. The hearing will be held July 20 at 6 p.m. at Brookhaven Town Hall. Anyone with an interest in the proposal will be given the opportunity to speak on the record.

A resident of a Port Jefferson Station group home intentionally lit a fire at the facility, located on Poplar Street, during the afternoon July 3, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. A 6th Precinct patrol officer extinguished the fire. The patrol officer, Joanna Westrack, responded to a call of a house fire at a congregate care facility, which is operated by Options for Community Living, in Port Jeff Station, at about 1:25 p.m. Within minutes, Westrack arrived on scene and observed smoke emanating from the second

floor of the home. As smoke streamed from the door, she entered the room and used a fire extinguisher to put out a mattress that was fully engulfed by fire. There were no injuries to staff or residents of the home. Arson section detectives, personnel from the Terryville Fire Department and a fire marshal from Brookhaven Town also responded. An investigation by arson detectives revealed the fire was intentionally set. Sheldon Whittingham, 38, a resident of the home, was arrested and charged with second-degree arson. He was scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip July 4. Attorney information for Whittingham was not immediately available.

Fourteen arrested at sobriety checkpoint in Port Jeff Station By Desirée keegAn Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com The Suffolk County Police Department Highway Patrol Bureau, assisted by the New York State Police, arrested 14 people and seized one vehicle during an overnight sobriety checkpoint in Port Jefferson Station June 30. Police officers from the SCPD highway patrol were assisted by New York State Troopers in conducting a sobriety checkpoint at the corner of Route 112 and Hallock Avenue. The checkpoint was conducted as part of an ongoing July Fourth holiday enforcement operation for the prevention of injuries and fatalities associated with driving while ability impaired by alcohol and drugs. A total of 716 vehicles went through the checkpoint. The following people were charged with driving while intoxicated: • Sandra Ventre, 50, of Port Jefferson

• Robert Paddock, 28, of Stony Brook • John Young, 40, of Centereach • Jeffrey Gerlin, 57, of Centereach • Megan Dichtl, 26, of Wading River • Nicholas Cappelletti, 31, of Centereach, was charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs. • Justin Maldonado, 24, of New Jersey, was charged with driving while ability impaired by a combined influence of alcohol and drugs and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. • Justin Wienckowski, 23, of Commack, was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Ventre’s vehicle was seized due to a prior DWI conviction. All of the individuals were to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip July 1. Additionally, six individuals were arrested for unlawful possession of marijuana and issued field appearance tickets and will be arraigned on a later date.

Stony Brook University announces curriculum changes despite objections By rita j. egan rita@tbrnewspapers.com Despite protests from students and faculty members, which included a March for Humanities rally May 10, the administration of Stony Brook University has decided to move ahead with the consolidation of departments in the College of Arts and Sciences. In a June 22 email from Sacha Kopp, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the announcement was made the school will create a new Department of Comparative World Literature by combining the current departments of European Languages; Literatures & Cultures; Cultural Studies & Comparative Literature and Hispanic Languages & Literature. “This newly combined department will draw upon faculty strengths in literature, culture and language across the college and reinforce Stony Brook’s position as a global institution,” he said in the email. Kopp said undergraduate majors and minors in Spanish, French, Italian and German as well as a minor in Russian and master’s degree programs in language teaching would all be contained within the new department. The university will also continue to offer the graduate degree program in Hispanic languages and literature. Other changes include the suspension of admissions into the undergraduate degree programs in theatre arts; comparative literature; cinema and cultural studies and into the graduate degree programs in cultural studies and comparative literature. “While suspending admissions into programs is an extremely difficult decision, it is important to recognize that if constrained resources were spread over a growing number of programs, all of our programs would be weakened,” Kopp said. “That said we are building resources in key departments that have demonstrated academic and scholarly excellence.” Port Jefferson resident Naomi — Sacha Kopp Solo, whose husband Richard was part of the university faculty for five decades, said she was disappointed in the news, especially when it came to the suspension of admissions to the theatre arts program as she remembers the political theater of the 1960s and 70s. “[The theatre arts program] is something that’s not a big money maker but makes a fuller university,” Solo said. Kopp said that the university has planned no course changes for the 2017-18 academic year and students enrolled as of May 1 in the upcoming suspended programs will be able to complete their studies. “For the fewer than 100 students who are currently enrolled in the degree programs into which new admissions are being suspended, every one of these students will have the opportunity to complete their programs, and we will honor existing commitments to graduate students for teaching assistantships,” he said. According to a Frequently Asked Questions section created by the university on their website regarding the changes, the institution is making every effort to limit the impact to faculty and staff. The university is planning to reassign most; however, “some term appointments may not be renewed.” Administrators are also exploring other elements as part of a process to address the university’s “overarching budgetary challenges. According to the FAQ, “when put into practice we anticipate savings in excess of $1 million.” Kopp said the changes occurred after discussions with faculty leadership, members of the university administration, the provost, the graduate school and the university senate. Jordan Helin, a Ph.D. candidate in history and a depart-

ment mobilizer in the history department for the Graduate Student Employees Union, participated in the May rally that the GSEU organized. Helin in an email said he wasn’t surprised by the announcement, and he sees no reason for the GSEU to give up on opposing the plan. “A decision made is a decision that can be unmade,” he said. “Up until now, the administration has gotten by on waving off criticism because they are just floating ideas and nothing has been decided. Now that they have decided, they can be attacked with more specificity.” Caroline Parker, who just completed her sophomore year and participated in the May rally, said in an email the combining of departments “flies in the face of the ‘commit-

ment to diversity’ Stony Brook likes to uphold.” “It’s true that these programs are small in numbers, but the critical thinking skills, cross-cultural exploration, creative expression and research taught therein are immeasurable for their far-reaching implications beyond borders and disciplines,” she said. Parker said she is concerned about the future of the college. “A true university cannot exist without humanities,” she said. “While people will be able to finish their degrees in the suspended programs, I fear the loss is a slippery slope and shows Stony Brook has lost sight of its mission, which will certainly affect future prospective students and the richness of our campus now.”

Moving up

Sixth-grade students from throughout the Three Village Central School District recently marked the end of their journey through elementary school during celebratory and commemorative moving up events. Teachers, administrators and esteemed guests gathered to celebrate the students’ educational milestone and cheered proud-

ly as they walked across the dais to receive their moving up certificates. During each event several students were individually honored with such distinguished awards as the Suffolk County Public Service Award, the New York State Comptroller’s Student Achievement Award, and academic and service awards from the Three Village Teachers Association.

Stepping up

Ninth-grade students at P.J. Gelinas and R.C. Murphy junior high schools were surrounded by proud parents, family and educators during the last week of school this June as they took part in commemorative moving up ceremonies. Gathered in the gymnasium, Murphy’s graduates received praise and commendation from principal Vincent Vizzo before members of the teaching faculty presented students with a number of academic and character achievement awards. Then, each student was individually called to the dais to

receive his or her moving up certificate. At Gelinas, students and families blanketed the front lawn of the school to celebrate the achievements of this year’s graduating class and to mark the school’s 50th anniversary. During the ceremony, principal William S. Bernhard announced the successful restoration of the school’s clock tower bell, which made its debut ring during the ceremony. Additionally, student-speaker Arielle Rohan shared her reflection of the class’s time at Gelinas and her hopes for their collective future before each student was presented with his or her moving up certificate.

Painting a legacy

In one of their last acts before moving up to junior high school, Setauket Elementary School’s sixth-grade class came together to create a mural inspired by two paintings by local artist Doug Reina. Not only did the students lend their artistic skills to the project, they also met

with Reina and learned how he chooses the locations for his artwork. During his visit, Reina also explained his process of painting and provided the students with feedback on their replicas of his work. This year’s mural artwork, which was created with the help of art teacher Maria Maritato, are titled “Yellow Double Arrow” (shown above) and “Pins.”

As our nation commemorates the anniversary of our fight for independence July Fourth, there are many examples of military service that would make our Founding Fathers proud. The sacrifices that are made by our local citizens to protect this country should not be overlooked or forgotten. At Rocky Point High School’s 2017 gradYour turn uation ceremony, senior Lisa Schuchman was surprised to be reunited with her brother, Chris, who has been serving overseas in the United States Air Force. It had been three years since Chris traveled home from his duty station in Germany to see his loved ones in Sound Beach. As his former teacher and baseball coach, Chris is a sincere young BY Rich AcRitelli man who represents all that is right with America. For the people gathered on the special occasion, myself included, it was an honor to witness the special moment for Chris, Lisa and their family. The big smile that beamed across Chris’s face for the crowded gym to see was characteristic of his genuine demeanor that I remember. He was a kid who always hustled, never made excuses and was an outstanding teammate on and off the baseball field. Walking around the hallways of Rocky Point, Chris demonstrated a respect that was second to none and a smile that was contagious among his friends. It seemed like yesterday that his buddies Danny Capell, Jonathan Popko and Steven Soltysik could count on the outstanding attributes of “Schucky” to be an outstanding friend and teammate. When Chris told me that he was going to enlist in the Air Force, as his teacher, coach and a veteran, it was easy to understand that like with baseball, he would flourish in the military. He was a student who always understood the differences between right and wrong and a kid who was motivated to serve his nation. Two months after he graduated, Chris completed basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. For Chris, this was one of his proudest accomplishments, as it solidified the discipline and structure that he learned in order to fulfill his future duties. When he completes his active duty obligation in 2019, it is his goal to return to civilian life to become a police officer and continue to serve in the Air Force Reserves. Over the last three years, Chris has spent most of this time in Germany at the huge military base at Ramstein and at Kaiserslautern where he currently serves. He has handled the internal security for the air installations and worked with German police authorities to ensure that American military personnel are properly following the laws within the country. From November 2014 to May 2015, Chris was deployed to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. He remained on base to ensure the safety of the American and NATO forces who count on the vital post for resources, reinforcements and logistical support. During his deployment, Chris recalled the presence of the enemy through the constant mortar attacks the Taliban waged against the mostly western forces that have been in Afghanistan since October 2001. Although he endured the frigid weather and snow, Chris vividly described the beauty of the mountains that were always nearby. His long-term deployment in Germany has allowed him the chance to travel to Ireland, France, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Norway and the Netherlands. He has said he thoroughly enjoyed the ability to travel, learn about the different cultures, understand the German language and, with his big smile, he met a lovely German young lady who is studying to become a nurse. Speaking with Chris, it is evident he fully understands the attention to detail required of his security forces job through the measured responses he provided about his time in Germany and Afghanistan. It is my fondest memories of the local kid who always shook my hand as a student, looked me in the eye and now answers “yes sir” to many of the questions asked of him. While his parents are very proud of every one of their children, you can tell the immense satisfaction that his father holds when he describes the experiences his son has gained through his service to America. We thank our current patriots who still continue to strengthen the American way of life for current and future generations of this great nation. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

Ward Melville’s 4x800-meter relay team of allyson gaedje, samantha sturgess, elizabeth radke and samantha rutt, above, were named all-americans after finishing third at the new Balance nationals, on left, in north Carolina June 18.

Patriots prove they’ve got what it takes to compete Ward Melville’s 4x800 relay team places third at nationals By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Ward Melville spring track and field head coach J.P. Dion sent a text to his 4x800-meter girls relay team the day of the national race: “Believe in yourself, like I believe in you.” The girls had shaved 15 seconds off their time and bested a school record in the process at the state-qualifying meet a few weeks earlier. Despite a letdown, falling to sixth after going in as the No. 2 seed in the state meet, the Patriots believed and pushed themselves to the limit to reverse the drop in the standings with a third-place finish at the New Balance Nationals in North Carolina June 18. Placing in the Top 6 also earned them All-American status. “They have that fire, and they harnessed it,” Dion said. “They’re more than willing to work, and there’s big things to come here at Ward Melville with these girls.”

The quartet of soon-to-be seniors Sam Rutt, Sam Sturgess and Allyson Gaedje and will-be sophomore Elizabeth Radke started the 2017 season like any other. The four had competed in both the 4x800 and 4x400 relay, outrunning the school record for the latter in 2016. As the weeks passed, the girls weren’t sure which race would be the focus come county and state championship-time. That is, until the school record-shattering 9 minute, 1.81 second finish at the state-qualifying meet at Warwick Valley High School. The team needed to finish second or better to be able to compete in the state championship. With anchor Gaedje, or “Gator” as her teammates call her, racing to a hard-fought finish against a top-tier competitor in Shoreham-Wading River’s Katherine Lee, she knew it’d come down to the wire. “I always race against her, so I knew it’d be difficult, but I just wanted to do my best,” she said.

In a photo finish, Lee beat out Gaedje for second place. Despite the loss, the girls celebrated their historic run. They were competing on a Saturday, and had finished the race in 9:16.61 that previous Tuesday, less than 4/10ths of a second off the state standard of 9:17, which was needed to qualify to compete in the state meet. “That’s when we knew we had what it takes,” Radke said. Her teammates agreed, especially after easily surpassing the 2011 school record of 9:10.56. “We were hoping just to get the state standard — we thought the school record was almost untouchable,” Rutt said. “It was really emotional. We went to the tent to grab our stuff and Sam [Sturgess] and Gator were hugging each other on the track, and J.P. Dion called us over and asked us why we’re crying.” That’s when the Patriots found out ShorehamWading River had been disqualified following a judgment call from one of the officials. Lee had changed lanes rounding a bend, instead of taking the straight path, which officials argued forced Gaedje to run a longer distance. “I was perfectly fine not going to states because they ran their socks off,” Dion said. “They really performed well. Just the fight in that race was good enough for me as a coach.” The girls’ race game wasn’t up to par come states, and they knew that after a big letdown, they needed to believe in themselves, like Dion said, in order to pull out an All-American finish. “After we ran a 9:01, we realized it’s time to get serious, and we can do something other

than just show up,” Sturgess said. “Competing in that atmosphere gets you serious.” As the leadoff runner, Sturgess knew she needed to set the tone. “I had to get us off to a good start,” she said. “I wanted to be in the Top 6 to get us that All-American status. That’s what we’ve been working on and working toward. We were motivated.” She made her way to sixth before she handed the baton off to Radke, who said she has always had a problem controlling her anxiety heading into a race. “I was freaking out,” she said, laughing while still showing that nervousness. “I kept telling myself ‘maintain and kick, maintain and kick.’ I didn’t want to get passed, because that gets me down, so I kept my spot, and ended up moving up a couple of spots before handing off to my teammate and hoping for the best.” Rutt was next in line, who helped move the — J.P. Dion team to fourth before passing the baton to Gaedje. “It was a little bit of a mind game, because we had to think to states and remember how bad we did and how we needed to pick it up,” Rutt said. “It’s cool to see what you can do when you put your mind to it. It’s so mental — how far you can push your body. The way Gator races, she’s so driven. I knew that as long as I got her in a good enough spot that’d be good enough for us.” As she crossed the finish line, Gaedje said she couldn’t believe what her Patriots had done. “My head was a little fuzzy,” she said, laughing. “I was a little tired, my legs were burning, and it took a little while to process, but my teammates came over and hugged me. I couldn’t believe it.”

‘They have that fire, and they harnessed it. They’re more than willing to work, and there’s big things to come here at Ward Melville with these girls.’

Firefighters from local departments battle a barn fire on Ada Lane in East Setauket June 19.

In appreciation of our local firefighters A North Shore resident smiles during a Pride parade.

File photo

Love is love While we’re still basking in the post-Independence Day glow and the love we have for our country and respect for the men and women who have died for our rights, it feels more appropriate than ever to firmly stand for the rights of the LGBT+ community. As Pride Month came to a close, we saw hundreds of events throughout New York celebrating the rights and history of the LGBT+ community. As the history of the United States unfolded, it’s clear some of our strongest moments have come when we’ve reevaluated our contemporary traditions and beliefs, and made the decision to update them with the changing times. July Fourth is a day to remember our nation’s fight for freedom, and we shouldn’t forget that fight was for the rights of all Americans. In 2015, the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. Like many other amendments and court decisions on social issues, it was long overdue, but it was the first major step in the right direction for LGBT+ rights on the national level. Most recently, on June 30, the German parliament voted to approve same-sex marriage. Of course the work for this community is far from over. Being an active ally is more crucial now than ever before. No one sexual orientation or gender identification should be treated as superior to the rest, and as a society we’re making progress toward reaching true equality. Being gay or straight is not right or wrong. However you identify is up to you and no one else. We’d like to commend U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for again walking in the New York City Pride March. He set an example for his state. It’s important that our local and national leaders stand as allies, and those who don’t should not be given the excuse “it’s their choice.” It’s not a choice to defend the rights of your constituents. It’s the job you were elected to do and nothing less.

I am writing on behalf of my family and the residents of Ada Lane in East Setauket to praise the volunteer firefighters of Setauket, Port Jefferson, Terryville and Stony Brook for a job well done. June 19, I was awoken by the sounds of diesel engines idling in front of my house. To my astonishment and concern, our neighbor’s barn was on fire. Given that it was 4:30 a.m. and most of us on the street were not yet awake to start our week, these brave men and women were already on the scene

fighting this dangerous fire. Praise be to God that no one was injured. We are very grateful for the quick response to protect our families. Given that there were many trees in close proximity to the barn and adjacent homes, without the firefighters’ quick response to this fire it could have easily been much worse. These brave volunteers were there for us in the wee hours of the morning, giving of their time before they began their respective jobs. It goes without saying that our

community is that much stronger because of residents like these, sacrificing time away from their families to protect us. To quote an Irish taoiseach, Seán Lemass, in a phrase also used by President John F. Kennedy, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” Our sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who answered the call and for their indefatigable efforts to protect our neighborhood.

Anthony Figliola East Setauket

Sacrificing the needs of constituents In early February, I met with Congressman Lee Zeldin with a small group of constituents. One of the women in the group asked if the replacement bill for the Affordable Care Act would cover people with pre-existing conditions. She had been denied coverage in the past because of a pre-existing condition. Under the ACA, she had health insurance for the first time, and was afraid to lose it. Zeldin assured her that this issue had bipartisan support. When she pressed him for more details, he said that he didn’t know how to get her to “take ‘yes’ for an answer.” Three months later, Zeldin voted “yes” on the American

Health Care Act, which passed the Republican House by a razor-thin margin. The bill that he supported would allow states to create high risk pools that would price many people with pre-existing conditions out of the market, and deprive them of sufficient coverage. Zeldin assured us that whatever bill went forward would be slowly and carefully deliberated. We know now that this was not the case in the House or the Senate versions of the bill. It is unfortunate that Zeldin seems more concerned with his own career than he does about the people who depend on the ACA for their insurance. In this meeting, he told us that he

felt that New York’s Medicaid program was “too generous.” In an April forum, he would not commit to supporting addiction and mental health treatment in the Republican ACA replacement, even though opioid addiction is a major issue in our district. With his votes, Congressman Lee Zeldin betrays those he is supposed to serve, sacrificing the needs of his constituents for his own advancement. It is unfortunate that he has forgotten his oath of office, where he swore to serve those he represents, rather than corporate donors and the Republican leadership.

OpiniOn Relative harmony on the country’s birthday

T

om and Tim grew up great friends. Soon after they learned how to spell, they figured out “i” and “o” were the only difference in their names. They liked their parents, teachers and country. The United States, as they were told, was the greatest country in the world. Their grandparents, as they’d find out on a rainy Sunday when they watched a show about By Daniel Dunaief TV a country in Europe that didn’t exist anymore, came from the same place. “We could be related,” Tim said. Tom thought Tim would be a much better relative than his Uncle Oswald, who wreaked of cologne and was always trying to give him

D. None of the above

great advice about his life. Tom wanted to become a baseball player and he wanted to marry a woman some day who could make apple pies because he loved apple pies. Tim also wanted to become a baseball player, but his mother wanted him to play the trumpet. Tom also wanted to play an instrument, so he started playing the trumpet, too. Competition got the better of Tim and Tom. They stopped hanging out because they wanted to practice separately, so they could win the solo in the concert and so Heather, the best trombone player in the band, would notice them. When the music teacher, Mr. Holden, chose Tom to play the solo, Tim stopped talking to Tom, Heather and Mr. Holden. Tim’s mother didn’t understand why he was quiet and angry. She read books on how to let go while lending a hand. One day, Tim told her about the solo, so she hired the best music teacher in the area. Soon enough, Tim was better

than Tom on the trumpet. Everyone, including Mr. Holden, could tell, so the teacher gave the solo to Tim. Tom found out about the new trumpet teacher and he, too, became a student. Tim and Tom filled their block, night and day, with the sound of blaring trumpets. As the concert approached, Mr. Holden became dismayed at how the two trumpet players were trying to drown each other out. He sent Tom out of a rehearsal, which caused the lower brass and flutes to stop playing because they supported Tom. When Tom returned, however, the bickering continued, so Mr. Holden sent Tim out of the room, at which point the clarinets and percussion stopped playing. Mr. Holden removed the song with the trumpet solo from the concert. The boys blamed each other and, soon enough, an all-out war on social media broke out between Tim, Tom and the parts of the band that backed each of them. Mr. Holden threatened to cancel the concert, but the town wouldn’t

allow it, especially because the concert was the highlight of the July Fourth celebration. One day, when Tom was too tired to play the trumpet and he wanted to get away from his annoying uncle, he collapsed on the couch and turned on the TV. He watched a black-and-white film about people coming from the country where his grandparents were born. When the show ended, Tom got on his bike and rode to Mr. Holden’s house. He rang the bell. “Mr. Holden, can you please put the original song back in the program? I’d like Tim to play the solo,” Tom said. Mr. Holden smiled. “He just asked me if you could play the solo,” Mr. Holden said, opening the door to reveal Tim standing in the kitchen. When the concert ended, Tim and Tom were sure of one thing: They had to be related.

more than a million degrees Celsius while the rest of the sun’s surface registers 5,500 degrees Celsius. Why the extreme difference and why is it hotter farther away from the center? Astronomers will have only 2 minutes, 38 seconds to capture the sun’s secrets. But they can come yet again to Carbondale for the next eclipse, which is predicted for April 8, 2024. Coincidentally, that will be the 48th anniversary day of the founding of The Village Times. To share with you some interesting trivia I learned from the article, the sun goes through an 11-year cycle. During that period its activity level changes from mellow to being more turbulent. Bet you didn’t know that, unless you are an astronomer or a rabid stargazer. This year, the sun is on the down side, but during the next eclipse activity will be greater, with more sunspots and solar flares. Now that you know about the coming eclipse, if you didn’t already, perhaps you too can pass yourself off as a “magician.” That is what Hank

Morgan does in Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.” In that tale, Hank receives a severe blow on the head and when he awakes, he finds himself transported back in time from the 19th century to early medieval England and the world of King Arthur, Merlin and Sir Lancelot. Because Hank is dressed differently and speaks oddly, he is sentenced to burn at the stake. But his execution date, he knows, coincides with a historical eclipse, and he threatens King Arthur with blocking out the sun if he is set alight. As the eclipse begins, the king releases him from prison, and Hank becomes the second most powerful person in the kingdom. All of which gives me an idea. On Aug. 21, I will proclaim myself publisher of six newspapers, one website, several supplements and maps, and the executive producer of a full-length historic film called, “One Life to Give.” Now I call that magic. And if people don’t believe me, I will threaten on my birthday to blot out the sun.

The magic of a total eclipse

T

here will be a rare, special occasion on my birthday this year. The spectacle I refer to is the first total solar eclipse across the United States since 1918. Termed the Great American Eclipse, the moon will come between the Earth and the sun, blocking out daylight for about two-anda-half minutes on Aug. 21. According to a New York Times science article, “A Dark By Leah S. Dunaief Spotlight” by Nicholas St. Fleur, “The temperature will dip. Birds will hush. And a dazzling, pearly white halo will emerge, demanding everyone’s attention.” Carbondale, in Southern Illinois, population 26,000, has been deemed by NASA as “the point of greatest du-

ration.” This small college city is bracing for an onslaught of many thousands, who will want to experience that day in the most dramatic place. Hotels are booked, some at $499 per night with a three-night minimum, seats are selling in the 15,000 seat Southern Illinois University stadium for $25, and local business people are rubbing their hands in expectation of an economic bonanza amid municipal financial struggles. According to The Times, “People have called from Europe, Japan, Panama and Brazil” looking for accommodations. The city is planning other events leading up to the eclipse, including a music festival called Shadowfest. T-shirts, eclipse hats, coffee mugs and any other items that can carry a logo are selling. Among the visitors will be excited astronomers, who are fascinated by this rare opportunity to collate new data. With the total eclipse, the sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona, will be visible separately behind the moon. It has long been a mystery because its temperature is
