The sun appeared just in time for Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn’s (D-Setauket) ribboncutting ceremony that marked the official opening of Forsythe Meadow County Park: Nora Bredes Preserve’s walking trail. The ceremony took place Monday afternoon at 52 Hollow Road in Stony Brook. More than 50 people were in attendance including

Hahn; former Legislator Vivian Viloria-Fisher; Cynthia Barnes, president of Three Village Community Trust; and Louise Harrison. Barnes and Harrison were co-chairs of the Coalition for the Future of Stony Brook Village. Once Hahn cut the ribbon, those who attended the ceremony were invited to hike the trail. Coalition members wore pink ribbons, which the group selected upon their outrage that developers

wanted to turn the property into a 40-house subdivision. For these members, the trail is a symbol of success in an effort to preserve this approximate 36acre property. But according to Jeffrey Weissman, scoutmaster of Troop 377 for the Three Village Boy Scouts, the trail will not be the last improvement made to the property. Weissman wants to have more benches in the area among other improvements.

Hahn, as well as Viloria-Fisher, Barnes, Harrison and Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) thanked the individuals who helped create the trail. They also thanked those who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for their support and effort to save “Stony Brook’s last forest.” “It is this group standing here today that saved this forest,” Harrison said. “Someday we’ll have access from the village center.”

North Shore seeks solace in wake of crash By Phil corSo

One week has passed, but no amount of time can ever truly heal the wounds endured by the greater North Shore community since four of its own were killed in a horrific limousine crash. Anyone driving through the streets of Smithtown and its surrounding communities this week could notice the red ribbons wrapped around trees in memory of Smithtown’s Brittney Schulman, 23, and Lauren Baruch, 24, as well as Stephanie Belli, 23, of Kings Park, and Amy Grabina, 23, of Commack.

red ribbons show just one of the ways North shore residents are remembering the fatal crash victims.

Soon, hundreds of international students will be arriving at Stony brook University to begin their academic careers in search of advanced degrees. For most, it will be their first time in the United States. They have no family or friends here, and are in a completely foreign and unfamiliar environment. The Host Family Program, a community-based organization now in its fourth decade, provides a newly arrived international student with the friendship of a local American family. It is run by volunteers, with the cooperation of the university, and has been directed by Rhona Goldman since 1974. It is not a home-stay program; students live on or near campus. Host families invite students to share a meal, some sightseeing, or a favorite activity. both students and host families can

have the enriching experience of a cultural exchange and gain perspective about the world. A host family may be a retired couple, a family group, or a single individual. The only prerequisite is the desire to make an international student feel comfortable in a new setting. Students are arriving on campus in late August for the start of the fall semester and are looking forward to meeting an American family. The university will host a reception for the students and the host families to meet each other before the semester begins. There is always a shortage of local volunteers to host all the students who sign up for the program. If you would like to find out more about the program, email Rhona Goldman at: sbuhostfamilies@gmail.com. - Phil CorSo

Town’s backup energy grid moves forward By Elana Glowatz

Brookhaven Town has won a $100,000 grant to assist in putting key buildings on an emergency backup energy grid. The governor recently announced that several dozen communities across New York, including Brookhaven, were awarded grants through a New York State Energy Research and Development Authority competition to perform feasibility studies on building the backup grids, known as microgrids. Microgrids are independent of the regional grid and rely on their own power-generating resources — and thus can keep communities going during power outages. According to the governor’s office, the grids “would integrate renewable power with other advanced energy technologies to create a cleaner, more affordable and more resilient localized energy grid for a limited number of users.” The town’s goal is to put in a microgrid to support Town Hall and two nearby Sachem schools in the event of a regional outage — Town Hall would need the power to serve as an emergency operations center, and the schools would function as emergency shelters. According to NYSERDA, the town and the school district “have suffered significant power outages from

The proposed project would incorporate alternative power sources such as solar panels and two existing wind turbines.

Hurricanes have caused power outages in recent years.

both warm-weather storms and winter nor’easters.” The proposed project would incorporate alternative power sources such as solar panels and two existing wind turbines, and the town would partner with Brookhaven National Laboratory to “incorporate sophisticated monitoring software … that will maximize the cost-benefit” of the microgrid’s energy production. The $100,000 the town won was in the first stage of grants through NY-

SERDA’s microgrid funding competition. After the town works with consultants and local stakeholders over the coming months to research its project proposal from technical, operational and financial standpoints, it may apply for more funding to advance microgrid construction efforts. In choosing which projects to award grants to, NYSERDA is using criteria such as the area’s level of vulnerability to outages, how a microgrid would

improve community function and the possible effect on ratepayers. Brookhaven Town is not the only local government working toward microgrid grant money. The Village of Port Jefferson and the Town of Huntington were also awarded $100,000 grants to perform studies on their own proposed projects — Huntington Town wants to build a backup grid for its own Town Hall, Huntington Hospital, the local wastewater treatment plant and community centers; and Port Jefferson officials want to have backup power because the area has several critical community and emergency services packed into a small area. “We have two major hospitals, a ferry, a railroad station, our own school district, a village hall, a wastewater treatment facility, a groundwater treatment facility, an ambulance company,” Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant said at a recent village board meeting. “We have a lot of emergency servicesGRID continued on page A9

Brookhaven’s Youth Bureau is collecting school supplies.

Help send kids back to school The start of school is right around the corner, and the Brookhaven Town Youth Bureau is making sure no student goes back empty-handed.

Benner’s Farm a Setauket summer hot spot

Benner’s Farm doesn’t slow down for the summer. Since 1751, this working farm in Setauket has been an oasis for anyone who cares about a way of life that surprises as much as it teaches. Bob and Jean Benner bought the 15-acre property in 1977. They still run the place, but now their sons Dave, Sam and Ben handle much of the outdoor work, while daughter Kirsten, who used to teach in the farm’s community education program, now lives in New England. The Benners host a summer camp for children, toddlers to teens, including a full-day showing of how to care for the animals and the gardens. Times Beacon Record Newspapers spent a day at the farm for a firsthand look at life as a Benner. 7:50 a.m. The Benners and their staff of counselors are getting ready for the campers. Some of the children have seen farm animals up close. “They have backyard chickens and such,” Bob Benner says. Most, however, have never been at a place like this, and Benner calls it “amazing, to see how quickly they warm up to it.” Today, the children will do farm chores and help feed the animals. Pancake the chicken and her baby, Waffle, go by. This chicken has flown the coop, preferring to hang out with the cow. She’s actively raising her chick. This is unusual behavior, Benner says, as modern chickens have been bred to spend more time laying eggs for profit and less time nurturing babies. Pancake walks briskly, clucking constantly to Waffle, who runs on teeny legs to keep up. “She’s showing the chick how to eat and how to be,” Benner says. There are always some chickens that forsake the safety of the coop for an independent life in the open, says Benner. And when they do, “they have to live by their wits.” 8:30 a.m. The lambs are getting antsy. “Their stomachs are talkin’,” says Sam Benner. One runs to the fence and makes a tentative baa. Soon, three others follow. Now the group is singing a loud, indig-

nant chorus of appeal for their breakfast. Benner tells them they have to wait until the campers get there. Farm life is satisfying, says Dave Benner, but the hours are long. When it’s time for “spring baby-watch,” he says, “any time the animals go into labor, we have to be there to help ‘em, for as long as it takes.” Each animal has a distinct personality. Take Shrek, the little pig born in April. “Shrek is a handful,” Benner says, looking over at the piglet that, in the span of about a minute, has pushed his nose through the fence, run around his pen, rooted in the dirt and enthusiastically munched a snack. 10 a.m. The campers are here. Some are gathering hay from the barn. The littlest ones sit on counselor Michaela Pawluk’s lap, as she teaches them how to milk Zoe the goat. The milk is used to feed baby animals, Pawluk says, or is made into cheese. Other kids wield rakes and shovels. Counselor Nick Mancuso is helping them make a feng shui-themed rock garden. All the children have a multitude of questions. Nine-year-old Teppei says the animals “are funny sometimes. The chickens look like they’re playing running bases, because they’re running back and forth.” Teppei says he was surprised “at how big cows can get, at a really small human age.” He drew that conclusion after meeting Minnie, the Benners’ massive two-year-old cow. 2:30 p.m. Afternoon on the farm is a time for noticing — the feel of the strong sun, the sound of water rushing out of a garden hose into the goats’ drinking basin, the fragrance of oregano as a breeze blows across the herb garden. Grown goats and sheep are out of the barn, grazing on the grass. Their babies rest in the shade, leaning on each other with their eyes closed. Minnie the cow is like a big puppy, licking the arms of any human she can reach, her soulful brown eyes trusting and calm. 7 p.m. Campers are long gone, and grown-ups are gathering on the farm for an outdoor bluegrass concert in the pasture. The sheep are starting to hunker down in groups. Minnie and Shrek are beside themselves with joy as people gather to admire them. But soon, even they will settle down for the night. Tomorrow will be another busy day.

Right now’s when most everyone buys their tickets for the 16th Annual Three Village Chamber of Commerce Family BBQ, next Wednesday, August 5, from 5-9 p.m. at West Meadow Beach in Stony Brook. Early weather forecasts look good but even if it rains, the BBQ goes on. The next day, Thursday, is the rain date and all tickets will be honored if it rains Wednesday. The BBQ, as always, is open to the public, Chamber Members and everyone else in the community. Last year’s BBQ was a sellout plus with parking problems. This year, ticket numbering and limiting with supplemental parking across the Road from the Beach at the Old Field Farm Horse Show Grounds will simplify the logistics. But that means buying your tickets in advance is particularly recommended this year. It’s easy. Ticket prices are the same as they’ve been for years, $15 and $5 for Children under Eight. To buy tickets just use a Credit Card/Pay Pal at the Chamber Website, www.3vchamber.com Or, do it the old-fashioned way, in person, either at Bagel Express, 15 Benetts Road at the intersection of 25A, next to the CVS Drug Store, or at Stony Brook Vision World, 2194 Nesconset Highway, Stony Brook, next to the Multiplex Theater. David Prestia from Bagel Express and 16 members of his family & Bagel Express staff will be contributing, cooking and serving their signature hot dogs and burgers at the BBQ again this year and coordinating the side dish buffet lines. As for that big blue sign mentioned above, you’ve seen similar signs, smaller, in the same striking sky blue color around town. This big sign goes at the Beach, right at the front of the buffet lines where 7501000 of us will pass by on BBQ night, a sign listing and thanking BBQ sponsors, a sign twice the size of last year’s. Chamber Board Member Ed Miller’s Miller Mohr Company will be making that sign tomorrow, Friday, July 31.

CRASH Continued from page A1

The four girls were killed when Steven Romeo, 55, T-boned their limousine with his pickup truck in Cutchogue last Saturday, injuring Romeo, along with limo driver Carlos Pino, 58, of Bethpage, Joelle Dimonte, 25, of Elwood, Melissa Angela Crai, 23, of Scarsdale, Alicia Arundel, 24, of Setauket, and Olga Lipets, 24, of Brooklyn. After the crash, Romeo was arraigned at Eastern Long Island Hospital and charged with driving while intoxicated. He was initially ordered held in lieu of $500,000 cash bail, or $1 million bond, but that bail was reduced to $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond last Thursday, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota. At a press conference on Friday, Spota said Romeo had recorded a blood alcohol content level of .066 percent when he was tested roughly one hour after the crash. The DWI charge, however, was not dropped and no additional charges were given to Romeo as the investigation continued despite his BAC coming in below the legal limit of .08, Spota said. Romeo’s court date, which was originally set for last week, was adjourned to Sept. 18. The past week saw the funerals of all four of the victims, while those injured were released from hospital care by the middle of this week. The North Shore community took one of its first steps toward closure on Wednesday night as residents flooded Smithtown High School West in the company of elected officials and members of Mothers Against Drunk Driving with

hopes of moving forward. The event was borne out of a Facebook page titled “Candlelight Vigil for Our Girls,” which was put into action in the days following the tragedy. By Wednesday, the page had collected more than 6,000 names to its roster and countless photos of mourning and support for victims’ families. Marianne Howard, executive director with the Smithtown Historical Society, was one of the several Smithtown residents to tie red ribbons around trees in front of the society’s property. She said various businesses throughout town, including Towers Flowers of Nesconset and James Cress Florist of Smithtown, helped donate the ribbons to the cause. “We mourn the loss of four beautiful souls who were taken too early from our community,” she said. “We send our deepest condolences to their families and friends. May they rest in peace.” Chabad at Stony Brook also signed onto the cause of finding good in a tragic situation, launching its own Facebook event page, “responding to dark, with light” in memory of the four girls and challenging residents to commit 400 random acts of goodness and kindness in their honor. Chaya Klein Grossbaum of Chabad at Stony Brook said once the 400-goal was reached, the group would print a book that details each singular act. Check back in next week’s issue for coverage of Wednesday’s candlelight vigil.

GRID Continued from page A3

related components within a very small radius.” And those services cannot stop when an event like a hurricane or a snowstorm knocks out power. “During a severe weather event such as we had with [hurricanes] Irene and Sandy, where the hospitals lost power and some of us lost power — some up to 14 days, [and the] hospitals were out eight to 10 days — those … patients that were on critical care services were put in harm’s way,” Garant said. “So basically if we have a microgrid during those severe weather systems … where the overall grid goes down, we flick a switch and keep our critical services online.”

Between Nassau and Suffolk counties, NYSERDA awarded $100,000 grants to 14 projects. Although power generation and distribution in the United States used to operate at a more local level, the grids have become more regional over time to make the utilities more cost-effective and reliable, according to NYSERDA’s website. “These systems are, however, vulnerable to outages that can impact large regions and thousands of businesses and citizens, particularly as a consequence of extreme, destructive weather events,” the website said. “Microgrids could help minimize the impact of these outages by localizing power generation, distribution and consumption so that a fallen tree or downed wire will not interrupt critical services for miles around.”

DeWick – Marcellus

Sarah Ruth DeWick and Craig Evan Marcellus were married on June 27 at Infant Jesus Chapel in Port Jefferson, with a reception following at the Three Village Inn in Stony Brook. Sarah is the daughter of Thomas and Deborah DeWick of Port Jefferson and a member of Ward Melville High School class of 2005. She graduated from Siena College in 2009 and is currently a marketing specialist for Discovery Communications. Craig, also a graduate of Siena College, is the son of Neil and Deborah Marcellus of Poughkeepsie. He is a data systems security manager with FreshAddress Inc. After honeymooning in St. Lucia, the bride and groom will make their new home in Boston.

The Global FinPrint project, a groundbreaking research effort, is the first-ever global survey aimed at shark and ray conservation. With funding from Paul G. Allen, the Global FinPrint Project, a three-year survey of sharks and rays in coral reef ecosystems, is the largest of its kind and is designed to provide fundamental data essential to building effective conservation programs. It kicks off with three years of underwater surveys and data aggregation conducted by a multi-institutional team led by Demian Chapman of Stony Brook University. “Global FinPrint will help us better understand one of the ocean’s great mysteries: What is happening with fragile marine ecosystems when sharks are removed?” Dr. Chapman said. “Are coral reefs healthier or faster to recover from disturbances like coral bleaching or hurricanes because they have sharks? These are hugely important questions. Many countries rely on healthy coral reefs for food security, tourism and coastal protection.” More information can be found at https://globalfinprint.org/.

Craig Biggio inducted into 2015 MLB Hall of Fame North Shore native was a catcher and second baseman Much like he did during his 20-year playing career, Craig Biggio left it all out on the field Sunday. However, instead of an orange-and-white Houston Astros jersey and eye black, the former catcher and second baseman was donning a navy blue suit and a touch of perspiration seeping from his forehead on the hazy summer afternoon, with the hair above his ears just beginning to show signs of graying. Instead of coming to bat before a packed Astrodome or Minute Maid Park, Biggio took to the podium in front of an estimated 45,000 people on the grassy plain behind the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown to accept his induction into the MLB Hall of Fame. Grinning ear-to-ear as he began his 17-minute speech, Biggio spoke at length about the place where the journey to his now-Hall of Fame career began, “in a little town, Kings Park, New York.” Senator John Flanagan (R-East Northport), who represents the Second Senate District, congratulated Biggio in a statement on his Facebook page saying the longtime Houston Astro is “an inspiration to young local athletes by showing them that they can achieve greatness if they work hard.” Biggio, a member of the 3,000-hit club, said he acquired his work ethic from his parents, Yolanda and Lee. The seven-time AllStar’s voice became shaky as he described them: “two hard-working people who are no longer here. But I know they’re watching.’’ His father was an air-traffic controller who never missed a game. Every day, Biggio said, his father would tie a rope around his waist, then to the backstop while he threw to the young slugger during batting practice to prevent him from lunging at the plate. “It worked,” Biggio said in his acceptance speech, hours before his plaque was installed in the MLB Hall of Fame. “But I came home every day with rope burns around my waist.” Biggio said although sports were important, he had a number of commitments that kept him busy.

“Growing up in Kings Park, I had three responsibilities: school, sports and I had a job,” he said. “My job was I had a newspaper route.” Baseball was not the only sport Biggio thrived in at Kings Park. The now 49-yearold was awarded the Hansen Award, recognizing the best football player in Suffolk County in 1983. Kevin Johnson, the thenassistant football coach at Kings Park, said at the time, he thought Biggio was better at football than he was baseball. The athlete received interest from major football programs such as Boston College and Oklahoma State University, but Johnson said the schools were looking at him as a punt and kickoff returner — a rough position for a 5-foot, 10-inch, 165-pound senior. St. John’s head baseball coach Ed Blankmeyer, then an assistant coach at Seton Hall University under Mike Sheppard — and now Blankmeyer’s father-in-law — was responsible for recruiting Biggio to the Pirates. Blankmeyer said it was Biggio’s hardnosed style of play that initially struck him. “He played bigger than his size,” Blankmeyer said. “He could run like the wind, he could hit, he had outstanding instinct, but whether he played good or bad, you always found something good about Craig Biggio and the way he played the game. He played with an intensity; he played with a big heart. You had to go away liking the guy, that’s what it was. I just loved the way he played.” Despite the multitude of football offers and a draft selection by the Detroit Tigers out of high school, Blankmeyer signed Biggio. “Not many coaches can say they’ve had an opportunity to recruit and coach a big league player,” said Blankmeyer when asked about the satisfaction in knowing he signed Biggio. “But a guy who played 20 years with one organization, who played three positions, an All-Star and now a Hall of Famer? Boy I tell you, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime situation.” After Seton Hall’s catcher Tony DeFrancesco was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 1984, there was a spot to fill at backstop. Sheppard called upon his star recruit, who had experience at catcher, to move back behind the plate. “Craig used to call himself the retriever who became a receiver,” Sheppard told WSOU, Seton Hall’s student radio station. “He was so fast he could chase it to the backstop and still throw the guy out at first base.” Biggio played on a Seton Hall squad consisting of future major leaguers Mo Vaughn, John Valentin and Marteese Robinson. They would capture the Big East regular season title all three years Biggio played, and earned an NCAA Regional bid in 1987. Sheppard’s teams prided themselves on a scrappy style of baseball. Biggio said that it was simply the culture of the athletics program at the time. “He was part of the journey,” Biggio said in his post-induction press conference.

“How do you get to the Hall of Fame? You got to have a little bit of talent and a lot of people to help you along the way.” Biggio was drafted in the first round of the 1987 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros, going on to play the entirety of his two-decade career in an Astros uniform. Biggio amassed 3,060 hits, 661 doubles and was hit by a record 285 pitches while playing second base, catcher and outfield. He also drew 1,160 walks and stole 414 bases. Though Biggio has lived in Houston for 25 years, his impact on Kings Park is still felt. “It’s great having an alum like Craig Biggio, because we can always refer to him to our current student-athletes as to what is possible and what can happen through hard work,” current athletic director Bill

Denniston said. The first three words of Biggio’s Hall of Fame plaque read “gritty spark plug,” an appropriate description of a player known for giving it his all in every game. In return, the game of baseball has given the local paperboy from Kings Park turned-MLB great an even greater gift, immortality. “I gave the game everything I had every day,” Biggio said. “In baseball, tomorrow is not guaranteed, and I tried to play every game as if it was going to be my last. I want to thank the game for everything. The game has given me everything: my family, my friends, respect, but most of all memories of a lifetime.” Visit www.TBRNewsMedia.com for the full story.

Charity shouldn’t be seasonal. Donate money or food during the summer, when some school children who rely on school lunch programs need it the most.

Step up to the plate

Every fall and winter, good-hearted Long Islanders far and wide reach into their pockets to donate goods and food in the spirit of the holidays. It’s so easy to imagine life without a jacket or a warm Thanksgiving dinner when it’s November or December. You won’t have to look hard to find numerous coat drives and food drives around that time of the year. And that’s a great thing. But it’s not enough. Summer hunger pangs exist right in our own backyard. And they are growing Islandwide — particularly among children who rely on school lunch programs but don’t have access to that food during the summer. Island Harvest Food Bank, a hunger relief organization on Long Island, reported earlier this month that it expanded its summer food service program. Last summer, they served 103,000 meals to 3,500 kids at 49 sites throughout the Island. This year, they anticipate dishing out more than 175,000 meals to about 4,000 children at 55 sites. Those are some eye-opening figures, especially when you consider what we already know about hunger on Long Island. A 2010 national study prepared for Island Harvest and another nonprofit, Long Island Cares, claims 283,7000 people on Long Island receive emergency food each year. Of that group, 39 percent are under 18 years old. For many of us who are fortunate, summer is our kick-back-and-relax season — a chance for us to embark on those sun-soaked vacations and long weekend trips or just leave work early on Fridays. But there are many of us who can’t afford to do that, and constantly struggle to make ends meet. We urge our fellow Long Islanders to channel the holiday spirit this summer. Pitch in by donating money, your time or food. Grab a cardboard box your local deli may not need and bring it to the office — get your co-workers in on it — and collect some food. Donate the box to your local food pantry. Charity shouldn’t be seasonal. It’s time we step up to the plate all year long.

Three Village readers are debating the merit behind displaying different flags from America’s past.

Evil versus good TO THE EDITOR: On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof walked into the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston and ended the lives of nine beautiful, faithful people. Four days later, at the AME Church’s regular Sunday service, the Reverend Norvel Goff spoke to an overflowing crowd of different races. “The church doors are open to send a message to every demon in hell and on earth,” he said. “Some wanted to divide the race, black, white and brown, but no weapon formed against us shall prosper.” Evidently faith in God is not newsworthy unless it’s being denigrated, and prayers of forgiveness do not incite outrage, so the reverend’s sermon did not get its deserved airtime. However, when a photograph of the deranged shooter holding a Confederate flag surfaced,

When it came down TO THE EDITOR: As a kid growing up in Northport, I often visited the Civil War Memorial on Main Street. The words on that monument are as true today as they were when they were carved many years ago: “The wounds of the Civil War are deeply cut.” I kept thinking about this monument as Governor Nikki Haley called for the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Caro-

a long-term debate that few gave thought to months ago was resurrected with a fever and the scent of invoking political views in the wake of an atrocity. The murderer’s name is Dylann Roof, not the flag of the Confederacy, and most who display it are not white supremacists. A symbol of the South became the villain, and the actual tragedy and ensuing message of unity from the church was blanketed. Ages before Hitler unfurled the swastika on the Nazi flag, its design stood for good luck and well-being, but bracketed to the genocide of millions, the “hooked cross” became a repulsive image. The point being made is we can’t keep blaming objects for the actions of madmen; we need to recognize that evil exists in this world. It’s imbedded in the minds and hearts, or lack thereof, of people so full of loathing or pain that they can do the unimaginable.

lina Statehouse. After attending the funerals of the Charleston massacre victims, she said there was a place for the flag, a place that preserves history, not a place where people gather to plan the state’s future. There is a powerful message here regarding dialogue with people we disagree with. She realized people driving by the statehouse felt hurt and pain. She recounted an experience from her youth when her Indian father purchased fruit at a produce market in Columbia. Two police-

A flag doesn’t have a soul and it certainly can’t pull a trigger, but evil destroys lives. True evil needs to be acknowledged or, like a cancer left untreated, it will spread. Ultimately, South Carolina Governor Nikki R. Haley’s bill, which removed the flag from statehouse grounds and put it in a museum, was said to honor the memory of the “Emanuel Nine.” Perhaps all could agree and take a moment to say a prayer, or at least give thought, to the victims of the Emanuel AME massacre, their suffering families and the church community, whose response to this unthinkable slaughter deserves celebration and praise. And let’s be glad Dylann Roof was not photographed near a Christmas tree. Joanne Tereshko Setauket

men were called to keep an eye on him. As her father went to the register, he shook hands with the vendor and said thank you. Although nothing was said, she knew what had just happened. The produce stand is still there, and every time she drives by it, she feels the same pain. People driving by the State Capitol in Columbia will no longer feel the pain caused by the Confederate flag. Dan Kerr Stony Brook

Not much satisfaction with these kidney stones

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

am now a member of a club that I would just as soon not have joined. It started with vomiting. I haven’t vomited in so long that my wife and daughter had never seen, or heard, the process. My daughter said I shriek in a scare-the-bats-outof-a-tree way just before releasing the contents of my stomach. After this vomiting episode, I

questioned what I’d eaten, what new allergies I might have developed or what stomach bug or virus I might have picked up. Vomiting, however, was only one of a host of symptoms, including extreme lower abdominal pain that radiated to my back. I had kidney stones. My taller brothers don’t have kidney stones. Did I hit the genetic jackpot: crooked teeth, nearsightedness, vertically challenged and, gulp, kidney stones? Is it possible — and I’m hoping this is the case — that my diet somehow caused this excruciating experience and, as such, I’ll have some control over my kidney future? When I said the words “kidney stones” in public, I saw a universal sympathy and support, even from people who are less than thrilled to see or hear from me. “Oh, man, I gave birth to four kids and none of the deliveries was anything like the pain of having kidney stones,” one woman

confided as she offered a reassuring squeeze of my arm. Of course, after the little, lifealtering intruders come out of our kidneys, bladders or anywhere in between, they don’t smile broadly at us, learn to walk and share an unending love — and the occasional sneer — with us. They’re just a hard pebble that uses our nerve endings like tightly wound strings on a violin of pain. “My brother is a firefighter, built his house with his own hands and catches pitches without a baseball glove. I’ve never seen him as uncomfortable as he was when he had kidney stones. He was crying on the floor of the emergency room,” another woman recalled. A friend said the pain embraced his abdomen, back and legs. He could barely move until he’d ejected the stones. Other than the vomiting, the thing that struck me, literally, about my kidney stones was how impossible it was to get comfortable. No position

helped: sitting, standing, praying with my head down and backside up. Pacing the room, putting my arms over my head, pulling out the hairs on my leg and curling my toes under my feet as I walked did nothing to distract me from the acute agony. “One to 10 on a pain scale?” the emergency room nurse asked me on my first hospital visit. “11,” I muttered, as I crouched next to the hospital bed in a catcher’s position. “Sit here, honey,” she offered. “I can’t,” I whined. After glancing at my face, she raced out of the room and jogged back with an IV and painkillers. Even strangers rallied around me. I called to cancel a hotel reservation within moments of the allowable policy. When I mentioned kidney stones, the operator promised to hold the reservation past the usual time and would allow me to cancel the next day, free of charge, if I couldn’t make it. When I called the following

I saw a universal sympathy and support. morning after a brutal night, she wished me a quick end to my kidney stone saga. Eventually, when it was clear my stone wasn’t rolling itself out of my body, I had a procedure to remove it with its own aftercare challenges. My recovery, despite some pain, is considerably more comfortable than the agony of a kidney stone. I’m hoping some time down the road, a medical miracle worker turns these particular stones to rubble before they bring their unwelcome pain again.

The overwhelming responsibility of being a parent

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

o. 1 son turned 50 this week, and while that may have been a shock to him, it was also a shock to me. After properly celebrating the occasion with the family, I am left with the astonishing thought that I have been a parent for 50 years. What does it mean to be a parent? For starters, I know that the single biggest difference in my life, and I suspect in most

people’s lives, comes with having a child. Getting married isn’t such a dramatic change, especially today when dating for years before marriage has become more the norm. Accommodating another adult into one’s daily routine, if done incrementally and with someone of compatible outlook, isn’t all that jarring. But just put a newborn baby into the mix and any semblance of order and predictability goes right out the window. A newborn brings instant humility to the parents. Even downright terror. One of the most appealing qualities in the man who eventually became my husband was his desire to have children. His eagerness matched my own. Now I know there are some who do not wish to procreate but, for us, the prospect of loving and raising children was as natural as taking the next breath. This is not a carefully thought-out ideology — it is, for many, just instinct. So then why was I so terrified when we brought that little

package of squirming baby home from the hospital and laid him in the middle of our king-size bed? It’s one thing to think about dishing out gobs of love in the abstract. It’s another when the love is commensurate with responsibility. I don’t believe I ever thought about having a child in quite these stark terms: I was directly responsible for the survival of another human being. And there he was, in need of an immediate diaper change. I didn’t recognize the totality of my terror until I brought him to the pediatrician for his first-month checkup. The doctor weighed him and exclaimed that his healthy weight gain was “a result of his nursing.” Then the doctor measured him and carried on about his length. This kid was off the charts — he was destined to be center for the Knicks. That was the doctor’s reaction. Mine was an intense relief that the baby was going to live. With no prior experience or exposure to infants, I was afraid

that I would inadvertently cause his demise. And without realizing it, I had silently lived with that fear for a whole month. The sense of responsibility for another’s life can be overwhelming. It is certainly built into our architecture, to a greater or lesser degree, for the rest of our lives. Their pain is our pain. And alternately, their successes are our successes. Little did I know that the first month of a baby’s life is, in some ways, the easiest time with a child — except for the fatigue factor. All one has to do is diaper, bathe, feed and burp an average newborn before putting him or her down to sleep. The harder parts come later — and also the more satisfying ones. Someone said to me, “Once a parent, always a parent.” That is a truism. Yes, children grow up, they learn and mature, they achieve and they marry, they may even go on to have children of their own. They are always our children, even if they are 50, or 47, or 46 — the ages of my three sons. And while I

happily and consciously lifted the weight of responsibility for their lives off my shoulders and mentally placed it on theirs at the time of their majority, I am still and forever will be the parent. And nothing I have ever done in my life has given me greater satisfaction. In the course of our lives, theirs and mine, they have become my helpmates and advisers, my playmates and my friends. They now share a sense of responsibility for my life. It goes both ways, this caring. But the relationship will always be asymmetrical. Someone else once said, “If children loved their parents as much as parents love their children, the human race would come to an end. The children would never leave home.”
