Three Village district stands by decision to dismiss girls basketball coach BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Ward Melville High School girls varsity basketball players, parents and residents lent their voices in support for former coach Samantha Prahalis at a district board of education meeting Aug. 21. The speakers during the board’s public session hoped that they could convince the board to reconsider the decision to dismiss the varsity girls basketball coach, which was made earlier this month. But after nearly a one-hour public comment session, the board ultimately sealed the coach’s fate. It would not reevaluate its initial decision to sever ties with Prahalis, a former WNBA player, and she would not be returning to the sidelines. William Connors, Three Village board of education president, delivered the news to the crowd through a prepared statement. “While the district does not comment on matters of personnel, I can say the coaching position for the Ward Melville [girls] high school varsity team currently remains open for the 2019-20 school year,” the BOE president said. “The district will not be filling this annual appointment with the individual who served in that role for the past two years. As such, we are in the process of selecting the most qualified individual to lead our team next year.” Supporters of Prahalis questioned the board’s reasons for the dismissal and argued it acted too harshly. Some also felt that the district ignored and chose not to meet with students during the board’s investigation of the former coach.

“They have been trying to reach out to you from May 19,” said parent Gina Agostino. “We sent out a letter that day because players wanted to share their feelings on coach. Emails have been ignored, phone calls were not returned, request for meetings were blown off. You chose not to hear their voices … and treated them like adversaries the entire time.” Chris Agostino said the fact that the district would have their own agenda is embarrassing. “I’ll tell you something, if I had students like this standing up for a coach the way these young ladies are, its powerful,” he said. “... What I don’t understand is that you get one complaint, maybe two complaints from parents or players and as a board you acted. You never listened to these students. You’re not looking out for them. If you were, you would understand how they feel.” A parent of a former varsity girls basketball player said he supported the decision to release the coach. He detailed how in May he received a phone call from the district asking for permission for his daughter to be surveyed by the district’s athletic department regarding Prahalis and the basketball team. He said he told his daughter to tell the truth and others did too and added that it was more than two complaints. “My daughter for three years was treated terribly and was abused verbally and mentally without the board knowing, she wanted it that way and I stood by her,” he said. “Sammy’s [Prahalis] abusive record speaks for itself and anyone that asked about her knew about her reputation.” Six former players of Prahalis were present

at the meeting. Many of them spoke of how their coach was the best mentor they ever had and how they had learned and grown so much as a player during that time. “Coach has transformed me not only as a better basketball player but also as a better person,” said Katherine Kelly, a rising senior on the varsity team. “She helped me gain the confidence I’ve been lacking on and off the court. She helped recognize my potential … She has made this team a family.” This summer the team won in their league during the Town of Brookhaven recreation program playoffs and credited their former coach for the strong summer season.

Cheryl Pedisich, Three Village superintendent of schools, spoke toward the end of the meeting to clarify some things parents brought up, including that she had said to Prahalis in a meeting that the district had failed her. “I said the district had failed her in not giving her the proper mentorship, that I think every coach deserves, every new coach deserves,” she said. “For new coaches that don’t have that opportunity to know how to work with students is a travesty. That was something incumbent on the district and the former athletic director to make sure that happened for all new coaches. Moving forward every coach that is new will be mentored in an appropriate way.”

All Souls announces 2019 race/walk to raise funds for accessibility

BY DANIEL KERR DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM All Souls Episcopal Church in Stony Brook village has announced its 11th annual SOLES for All Souls 5K Race/2K Walk will take place Sept. 29 from 61 Main St. All proceeds will be dedicated to making the historic chapel accessible for all so everyone can attend events at the church and visit the historic building, which is open every day. SOLES For All Souls provides the opportunity for serious runners to compete for gold, bronze and silver medals in age groups from under 13 to over 80, and receive their hard-won medals in an Olympic-style awards ceremony, and for others to join at their own pace. Dogs are welcome to accompany their owners, and students from Stony Brook University often come in costume. Senior citizens with walking sticks line up at the starting line along with parents pushing their kids in strollers. The route through the scenic backstreets of Stony Brook and along the harbor is well marked, with volunteers at every turn to offer encouragement and a cold drink of water. In addition to being on the National Register of Historic Places and a house of worship, All Souls is a forum for the arts, presenting monthly Saturdays at Six concerts, Second Saturdays poetry readings and shamanic drumming (Native American healing ceremony) to the community. Although the mission statement posted at the entry to the church declares, “We accept the value of meeting people wherever they are,” an increasing number of people are unable to make it up the hill to enter the Stanford White-designed chapel. The importance of accessibility for all has been recently reinforced by many parishioners no longer being able to make the steps or having loved ones who couldn’t. Former Suffolk County poet laureate, Gladys Henderson, is a regular visitor who recently has been unable to navigate the steps. “All Souls has remained a haven, a shelter

for all religions to find safety and peace,” Henderson said. “It has steadfastly supported the arts, in all its variations, and in doing so reminds us of our common ancestry. To support this church and its outreach is to support air and the need to breathe. I am sorry I have missed the last several poetry readings. I just can’t make those steps anymore.” Frequent All Souls visitor and The Jazz Loft director, Tom Manuel, described both the challenge and importance of making a historic building easily accessible. “When planning how to make The Jazz Loft [more] accessible when we renovated the historic 1909 building, we strove to maintain the historical integrity of the building while at the same time allowing for modern-day conveniences,” Manuel said. “The result was respect to the history of The Jazz Loft, accessibility for all and, most importantly, access for all — not just some — to the inspiring art and healing which lies within. I’m certain that our community will support the endeavors of All Souls Church to undertake this project and in doing so support not just some, but all people.” “The welcoming and historic charm that defines All Souls Church has, unfortunately, become an obstacle for many of its parishioners and visitors,” said Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) who represents the Stony Brook area. “Putting our soles to pavement during this year’s 5K race and 2K walk will ensure this beloved and sacred site will continue to serve the needs of ‘all souls’ within its congregation, our community and beyond.” Registration for SOLES for All Souls 5K Race/2K Walk is through www.active.com. Search SOLES for All Souls, or register race day Sept. 29. There are different fee scales. The registration desk is open from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m.; the race/walk begins at 9 a.m. Runners, walkers and business owners can call 631-655-7798 for more information on the event or sponsorship. Donations for accessibility can be mailed to All Souls Race, P.O. Box 548, Stony Brook, NY 11790.

North Shore researchers and parents plead to school districts for later start times BY KYLE BARR AND RITA J. EGAN KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM, RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Come September, middle and high school students across the North Shore will wake up to the harsh sound of alarms, sometimes hours before the sun will rise. Some will wake up late, and rush in and out of the shower, sometimes not having time to eat before they make it to the bus stop, often in the dark where the cicadas continue to buzz and the crickets chirp. Port Jefferson high schoolers will shufﬂe through the front doors before 7:20 a.m. Students at Ward Melville High School will hear the ﬁrst bell at 7:05, while Comsewogue students will be in their seats at 7:10. Some scientists across the North Shore have said that needs to change.

The science

Brendan Duffy has worked in St. Charles Hospital’s Sleep Disorders Center for nearly a decade, coming out of working at Stony Brook University as a sleep technician. As he worked in the field, he started seeing significant connections between the effectiveness of individuals during the day and how much sleep they got the night before. For teens, he said, the importance is all the greater. Sleep, he said, has a direct impact on risktaking versus making smart choices, potential drug use, obesity and depression. “The science is irrefutable,” he said. “Basically, anything you do, whether it’s mentally or physically — it doesn’t directly cause [these harmful decisions], but there’s connections and links.” While some parents would simply tell their kids to get off their phone or computer and go to bed, scientists have said the bodies of young people, specifically teenagers, have internal clocks that are essentially set two hours back. Even if a young person tries to fall asleep at 9 p.m., he or she will struggle to slumber. Duffy said scientists call it the delayed sleep phase, and it directly affects the timing of the body’s melatonin production. During sleep, the body enters what’s called “recovery processes,” which will regulate certain hormones in the brain and effectively flush all waste products from daily brain activity. Without enough sleep, these processes do not have time to work. That is not to mention rapid eye movement sleep. REM sleep is a period during the night where heart rate and breathing quickens, and dreams become more intense. Lauren Hale, a sleep researcher and professor of preventive medicine at Stony Brook University, called this period critical to sleep. The longest period of REM happens in the latest part of the sleep cycle, the one deprived by waking up early. “For decades, scientists have known young

people are sleep deprived,” she said. “It’s not that they can get by on six or seven hours of sleep … teenagers are the most at risk of not getting the sleep they need.” Of course, it is not to say modern technology has not affected young people. Duffy said phones and computers have meant the brain is never given time to rest. Even in downtime, minds are constantly active, whether it’s playing video games or simply scrolling through Facebook. “They’re not given a break,” Duffy said. “Their brains are constantly processing, processing, processing.”

Sleep and sports

“I looked at all the school athletic programs that have been decimated by changing their start times, and I couldn’t find anything,” Duffy added. “It’s hard for athletes to perform or recover if they’re not sleeping well at the high school level.” In research, college football teams looked at which kids were likely to be injured, and those who received less than eight hours of sleep were 70 percent more likely to be injured, according to Duffy. That research led him to find Start School Later, a nonprofit national advocacy group to change the minimum school start time to 8:30 a.m., at a minimum. Duffy communicated with the nonprofit to provide data on the effect lack of sleep has on players. He has become its athletic liaison. He points to professional sports teams, many of which have sleep professionals whose jobs are to set sleep schedules for their players and help reach peak effectiveness.

History of sleep and schools

Dr. Max Van Gilder is a retired pediatrician and coordinator for the New York branch of Start School Later. He said that while most schools traditionally started at 9 a.m. for most of the 20th century, the move toward earlier start times was relatively recent, only beginning around 1975 with busing consolidation. Schools started doing multiple bus runs for different grade levels, and high school students would be the ﬁrst ones on these routes. For decades, the early start became more and more established. Start School Later was created little more than a decade ago, but it’s only recently that some states have started to try later times. In 2016, Seattle passed a law moving start times from 7:50 to 8:45 a.m. A study of the effects of that change showed students got an average of 34 more minutes of sleep a day or several hours over the course of the week. It also showed an improvement in grades and a reduction in tardiness. The study gave examples that in some classes average grades were up 4.5 points more than previous classes at the earlier start times.

In California, a bill that would have moved minimum start times to 8:30 a.m. was supported by both houses of the state Legislature before being vetoed by the governor last year. A similar bill is currently going through the legislative process again. Other states like Virginia and New Jersey have started to experiment with later start times. On Long Island, very few districts have made significant increases in start times. Van Gilder said two-thirds of the high schools in New York state (excluding NYC) start before 8 a.m., with an average start time around 7:45. Only 2 percent of high schools start after the recommended time of 8:30, according to him. The main difficulty of encouraging later start times is due to districts being so largely independent from both the state and each other. While this gives each district particular freedoms, it also means cooperation is that much harder. A district that changes start times would have to renegotiate with bus companies and find ways to navigate scheduling sports games between schools with different start times. “The state constitution makes it very difficult for the State of New York to pass a law to say when you can start,” Van Gilder said. “We need to work with the superintendents.” However, proponents of late start said the benefits easily outweigh the negatives. “There are ways around it and, to me, this is a strong evidence base for opportunity to improve adolescent medical health, physical health, academic outcomes, safer driving — there is such a positive range of outcomes,” said Hale of SBU.

Parents working together

In the Three Village Central School District, more than two dozen parents filled a meeting room in Emma S. Clark Memorial Library Aug. 23. Barbara Rosati, whose daughter is an eighthgrader in P.J. Gelinas Junior High School, organized the meeting to discuss the benefits of teenagers starting school later in the day. Rosati, a research assistant professor at SBU’s Renaissance School of Medicine in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, said during conversations with Van Gilder she discovered there are only four high schools in New York that begin school as early or earlier than Ward Melville’s 7:05 start time. Because of their internal clocks, she described the teenagers as constantly being jet lagged. “Older kids — adolescents, high schoolers, junior high school students — for them it’s much more difficult to get up early in the morning, and this has a physiological basis,” Rosati said. The goal of the Aug. 23 meeting was to go over studies, create an action plan and then put that plan into motion. The professor pointed toward the studies that show teenagers who

are sleep deprived can be more susceptible to mood swings and drowsiness, and it can affect academic and athletic performance as well as cause long-term health problems such as anxiety, diabetes, eating disorders and cardiovascular problems. “We’re spending a lot of money in this district to make our schools better and improve their performance, and then we undermine the kids with things like sleep deprivation,” Rosati said. “We undermine not only their health but academic performance.” Parents at the meeting agreed they need to be sympathetic to the school board, and Rosati added that she believed, based on prior experience, that the board would be willing to help. “We have to show them our support, and at the same time we have to make sure they are willing to do this and feel committed to such an effort, because this is not something that you do halfheartedly,” she said. Frances Hanlon, who has a sixth-grade student in Setauket Elementary School, agreed that the parents can work with the board trustees and that it wasn’t an us-versus-them issue. “We can’t be, ‘We know better than you and why aren’t you?’” Hanlon said. “We all have to work on this together and that’s what’s going to make a change.” Rosati and those in attendance are set to survey how many families are in the district and, when the school year begins, will start a petition for those in favor of late start times to sign. Among the suggestions parents had were bringing the late school start presentation that Rosati created to the school board and PTA SCHOOL START TIMES Continued on A8

Obituary

Leonard Hamilton, supplier of DNA used in double helix discovery

Dr. Leonard D. Hamilton, of Crane Neck in Old Field, a medical researcher who played a key role in the discovery of the structure of DNA, died June 29 at the age of 98. In the late 1940s and early ’50s, he developed techniques for extracting and purifying mammalian DNA, which he supplied to Maurice Wilkins and his associates to enable them to generate X-ray crystallography images from which the double helical structure of DNA was inferred — the discovery for which Maurice Wilkins, James Watson and Francis Crick shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1962. Born in Manchester, England, Hamilton received medical degrees from Balliol College, Oxford University, and a doctorate in biochemistry from Trinity College, Cambridge. He married Oxford student Ann Twynam Blake in 1945. They came to The University of Utah in Salt Lake City in 1949 on a oneyear grant and decided to stay. He worked at what is now Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City from 195064, primarily on DNA in collaboration with Wilkins at Kings College, London, and on cancer research and treatment. He also worked for the U.N. Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, contributing to its seminal report on that subject in 1962. He continued his biomedical research as head of the Division of Microbiology, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and became a professor of medicine at Stony Brook University in 1968. From 1973 until his 1994 retirement, he

led a team at Brookhaven analyzing the health effects of different energy sources. Hamilton’s wife Ann — a New Democratic Coalition and pro-choice activist, who worked as a psychiatric social worker at the Sunrise clinic in Amityville — died in 1997. He is survived by daughter Jane Dorwart; two sons, Stephen Hamilton and Dr. Robin Hamilton; seven grandchildren; and sister Elaine Wolfe of Great Neck. Donations to The Nature Conservancy in his name would be appreciated by the family.

Patchogue man killed in Port Jefferson motorcycle crash

A Patchogue man died in Port Jefferson Friday, Aug. 23, after his motorcycle left the road and struck a tree, police said. Friends and family established a roadside memorial for Jason Russo, 35, along Sheep Pasture Road near Willis Avenue, on the north side of the small bridge with pictures, flowers and candles spelling out his name. Friends and family came to pay respects throughout the weekend into Monday. Suffolk County police said Russo was operating a 2008 Kawasaki motorcycle

meetings throughout the district, with further plans to record and send it by email to parents. One mother also suggested that high school students join the parents at BOE meetings. Rosati said she would also like to have experts such as Van Gilder and Hale present a talk for the board trustees. “We can use the help of these professionals to inform the board that there is really solid scientific evidence, and we’re not just doing this because we’re lazy and don’t want to get up early in the morning,” Rosati said. “We’re doing this because we care about our children’s mental health and academic achievement.”

Reaction from districts

Both of Duffy’s kids are already graduates of the Port Jefferson School District, and he has yet to present in front of the school board, saying he wants to gain more traction in the community before bringing it to school officials. He has been trying to get support through posts on social media. “It really can’t come just from me, it has to come from the community,” he said. Though Hale has gone in front of school boards at Shoreham-Wading River and a committee in Smithtown, she lives in Northport and has two young girls at elementary school level. She has also written editorials in scientific journals about the topic. When Rosati attended a Three Village board of education meeting in June, she said a few trustees told her that starting high school later in the day could lead to eliminating some of the music programs and teams may not be able to compete against neighboring schools in sporting games. After her appearance before the school board, she said she researched a number of schools on Long Island, including Jericho High

School which starts at 9 a.m. and saw that they could still manage to have music programs and play schools at sports with different start times. A statement from the Three Village School District said it had commissioned a lengthy discussion regarding school start times, but while it was in support of the research, it identified negative impacts to its athletic programs, transportation, BOCES offerings and elementary music. The district said it also conducted an informal survey of a small portion of the student population, who said they were not in favor of later starts, but Three Village added it was only used to gather anecdotal information. There are a few things parents can do to aid their child’s sleep beyond the later start. Rosati offered some tips, including regular bedtimes, providing balanced meals, curfew on screen times, and limiting extracurricular activities and the intake of sugar and caffeine in the evening hours. She and her husband have tried their best to follow those guidelines, but she said they still kept their daughter home multiple days due to sleep deprivation last academic year. “We should not be put in the position to choose between education and health for our kids,” Rosati said. When asked, Shoreham-Wading River, Port Jefferson and Northport school districts all said they were not currently looking into later start times. Still, Hale said despite her frustrations with the reaction from some districts she’s continuing to argue for later start times. “We need to work together with communities so that parents and teachers and school board members understand this is for the benefit of the students and the community,” she said. “You don’t have to look hard to see the benefits of this.” Rosati plans to host another meeting Sept. 10 at the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in Setauket from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

Brookhaven IDA rejects tax breaks for proposed Heatherwood apartments

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The proposed apartment complex project on the property of the Heatherwood Golf Course in South Setauket will not receive a tax benefits package after the Brookhaven Industrial Agency rejected a proposal that would cut property taxes on the land by $3.76 million over 13 years at a hearing Aug. 21. Also included would be $2,854,000 in sales tax exemptions and $420,000 in mortgage recording tax exemptions. In total the developers would see savings of more than $7 million. The decision proved to be a small victory for some area residents who have been against the project since its inception. They were concerned that the proposed tax breaks could negatively affect local school districts and development would increase traffic congestion at the intersection of Route 347 and Arrowhead Lane. Representatives for Heatherwood said at the meeting that they could not move forward with development without the tax breaks. Salvatore Pitti, president of the Port Jefferson Station-Terryville Civic Association, said the notion of developers abandoning the project was wishful thinking. “We never wanted it from the beginning,” he said. “The entire community has been against it.” The proposed project dates back to 2014 when it was brought up to the Town of Brookhaven zoning board and was approved of a crucial zone change that allowed for apartments on the property. As a part of the approval, the town board required the property owner to donate 40 acres of land to the Manorville Farm Protection Area, remove a billboard at the golf course and construct a sidewalk on the east side of Arrowhead Lane. “The zone changes already occurred,” Pitti said. “We’ve already accepted the fact that it will be developed [eventually]. Why do you need tax breaks if you don’t have the money to build it? It came off as them being more greedy.” In 2018, the Planning Board approved

the proposed plans for the company to build on nearly 26 acres of its more than 70-acre property. The project, dubbed the Heatherwood Golf & Villas, will be a 200-unit senior apartment complex catering to individuals 55 and over. The planned project would reduce the 18hole golf course to nine holes to allow developers to build the apartments and would supposedly bring more revenue to the golf course. IDA members questioned the reason Heatherwood needed tax breaks to move forward with the project. Heatherwood said that the project would create six permanent fulltime jobs, though IDA members said it wasn’t enough jobs to grant it the benefits package. Herb Mones, chair of the Three Village Civic Association land use committee, was shocked when he first heard that Heatherwood was looking for tax breaks. “I was like ‘You gotta be kidding me,’” Mones said. “It wasn’t enough that they got the zoning approval, but now they need tax breaks — at some point enough is enough. It is corporate greed.” Mones argued that the project would forever affect the surrounding communities. “It adds to the over development, we lose open space and a golf course,” he said. “...We are happy the IDA turned them down.” Mones along with Pitti wasn’t buying that the project would be abandoned if Heatherwood didn’t receive the tax benefits package. “There is no possibility that they will not develop that land after they got the zone change, they are going ahead with the project,” Mones said. “It will yield a gold mine for the corporation. We believe this will bring no benefits to the community.” Despite, the IDA rejecting the package, Pitti said he wouldn’t be surprised if Heatherwood broke ground on the project in the next few months. A representative from Heatherwood did not return messages requesting a phone interview by press time.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

If it is true that one’s eyes are the gateway into their soul, then it can be said that the man behind the door of Stony Brook Vision World holds the key that opens the gateway to customer satisfaction! Andrew N. Polan’s introduction into the field of opticianry began at an early age. He received his love for the profession from his dad, who was (and still is) an optician, as Andy would help his father in his store during school breaks. His father, uncle, three cousins, sister, and brother-in- law are all opticians. Stony Brook Vision World is an independent franchise which Andy took over more than 15 years ago. What sets this store apart is Andy’s belief that professional service and competitive pricing are of utmost importance to any business. “It is vitally important that patients feel they haven’t been “sold to.” Too often this happens, and that’s not a way to run any business,” Andy says. “People should be treated as patients, not customers which is why I like to get involved with the patients who come here. I enjoy providing the personal service that just can’t exist at mass retailers. Andy first went into accounting, then found that his love for optics was his real calling. A Fellow of the National Academy of Opticians, he was instrumental in writing the curriculum for the Ophthalmic Dispensing program at SCCC. Andy, often quietly, has been a leader in the Stony Brook/Three Village Community for many years. He is President of the Three Village Chamber of Commerce and is the Immediate Past President of the North Shore Jewish Center. He also contributes his efforts to the Veterans Home in Stony Brook. As far as expansion into other locations, Andy never wants to lose that “personal touch” that is so rare in some other businesses. “You can’t be in multiple locations and remain accessible to your patients. You wind up losing the personal touch. When it comes to eye care, it’s in the best interest of the patient that they deal with one person who is familiar with their needs. Why should someone ever risk their eye health?” Andy said. “I made a house call the other day to a homebound woman. It’s important to always be there for your patients.” Exceptional service is not an optical illusion… at Stony Brook Vision World, patients receive the best care and the best service for the best price. Andy specializes in hard to fit patients and hard to fill prescriptions. Seniors find that he has a special devotion to providing the absolute best service- staying late if necessary and making house calls if someone cannot make it into Stony Brook Vision World. “I believe in being hands-on. It’s important to keep in mind that no matter how big a community gets, we should act like a small town. People like that, and who more than seniors deserves that?” Stony Brook Vision World carries the most modern frames, made from the most durable and technologically sound materials in today’s market. They carry titanium and stainless steel, all made to be lightweight. Andy believes in accommodating to everyone’s budget, carrying something for every price range-from the most generic that you would see at a major optical discounter, to the most exclusive eyewear you would see at a private optical center in New York City. Coach, Prada, etc. are at Stony Brook Vision World, along with mainstream eyewear. No matter the frame, the lenses are all first grade. Eye exams are given four days a week by a Doctor of Optometry. Stony Brook Vision World is proud to announce that in addition to other providers, they are now a provider for DavisVision and FEPBlue Vision and NUA. Andy Polan is an honorable man with great integrity. His patients always come first, and he will never compromise professionalism. Perhaps this is why the store is so successful.

Setauket Harbor Task Force takes part in acidification research in Poquott BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A local task force recently took part in a vital water testing project and chose the Village of Poquott to accomplish its task. George Hoffman, co-founder of Setauket Harbor Task Force, said the organization participated in Shell Day Aug. 22 when the group tested water from the Village of Poquott’s new dock. Shell Day is a sixstate water monitoring event coordinated by Northeast Coastal Acidification Network. NECAN, which serves as an interface between research and industry interests, enlisted 50 water quality groups run by citizen scientists to test for levels of ocean acidification along the harbors and bays from Maine to the Long Island Sound. Covering more than 600 miles of the U.S. Northeast coast, the testing will give scientists a broader picture of the extent of acidification that comes into the ocean from harbors and bays. “[Acidification] is having impacts on shellfish and baby fish,” Hoffman said. “The problem with a higher acid content of the water is that it starts to impact the shell of the baby shellfish as they are emerging. It weakens the shells and makes them more susceptible to die-offs, and they don’t survive. It’s just impacts the whole food chain.” Hoffman said the task force tests water conditions in the Sound’s bays and harbors twice a year and was thrilled to participate in Shell Day. The Village of Poquott was the ideal spot for the testing, he said, due to its new dock in the middle of Port Jefferson Harbor, and the task force appreciated village officials allowing them to use the location. Testing was done during three phases of the tide — low, mid and high — which took place at 11:18 a.m., 2:18 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Hoffman said two water samples were taken from every phase of the tide and then put on

ice. The samples were then sent by ferry to Bridgeport, Connecticut, where they will be analyzed at the University of Connecticut’s laboratory for alkalinity and salinity. Poquott Mayor Dee Parrish said in an

email the village was pleased that the dock, which was officially opened in June, was chosen. While the goal was to provide a place for residents to use for fishing, photography, summer lounging and social interactions, the testing on the dock was a first. “Being able to assist the Setauket Harbor Task Force in obtaining the water samples that will provide actionable information for watershed management, strategic habitat protection and restoration is a really fabulous end of season way to celebrate our first year with this wonderful new community asset,” Parrish said. Laurie Vetere, president of the Setauket Harbor Task Force, said in a statement that the group is eager to participate in every study that can determine the health of Port Jefferson and Setauket harbors “We hope that our efforts on Shell Day 2019 will drive the local and regional governments to step up their efforts to

improve the ability of our local waters to provide optimal habitats for our native and dwindling marine life,” Vetere said. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), chair of the state’s Assembly Committee on Environmental Conservation, applauded the group’s efforts in a statement. Englebright is responsible for drafting legislation to establish Stony Brook University’s Ocean Acidification Task Force. “The process of ocean acidification is invisible, and we need to have regional scientific datasets to bring the magnitude of this enormous threat to marine life into plain site and help us develop strategies to address its impacts,” Englebright said. “Time and again, we see that ordinary citizens are ready and willing to help with critical scientific data collection. Shell Day 2019 is a powerful and inspiring example of how we can bring citizen scientists together with leading government agencies to make a real difference.”

Opinion

Letters to the Editor

Parents across the North Shore are hoping their teenagers will soon get to sleep in — even during the school year. Many studies now point to the benefits of teenagers starting high school later in the day, and some residents are delving into the research and discussing the issue with other parents. It may take work, but we think the idea is important and we hope district officials will keep their minds open. Studies have shown that teenagers do better when their first class starts after 8:30 a.m. Start times in our coverage area can vary with East Setauket’s Ward Melville High School’s first class bell ringing at 7:05 a.m. Many other high schools start well before 8 a.m. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day for teens “to promote optimal health.” The reason why many teenagers don’t get the recommended hours of sleep each night may have nothing to do with tons of homework, juggling activities and spending time on electronic devices. It may just be that children tend to fall asleep a few hours later when they become teenagers due to biological changes. The outcome when you add early school start times to late nights? Many teenagers walk around like zombies, constantly sleep deprived. Insufficient sleep, which can cause drowsiness and impaired memory, can affect an adolescent’s academic and athletic success, as well as health and safety. Scientists have found that over the long haul, sleep deprivation in one’s younger years can lead to more severe problems in the future, including obesity and engaging in risky behaviors such as drinking and drug use. It’s an invalid excuse to say kids need to get used to waking up early to prepare for the workforce. It’s equally detrimental to call out young people for spending too much time up late. The science says these rhythms are to be expected. In the past, it was considered beneficial for high schoolers to come home after school earlier, so they could babysit their younger siblings. Today, most high school students are involved in sports and clubs, and aren’t available to help out with this task. And with the existence of after-school programs, there are many opportunities to make life easier for working parents. An earlier morning for elementary students could also prove beneficial to working parents, who need to get kids on the bus before work. Furthermore, teenagers are able to get to the bus stop without the supervision of their mothers or fathers. While it may be true that a change in start times can create issues when it comes to scheduling sports games, schools start at different time all across the leagues. Some student-athletes are already waiting around for games to start after the last bell rings. The most important thing, beyond both sports and academics, is a kid’s mental health and well-being. While it may not be possible for all high schools to start at the same time to create the perfect scenario for sporting events, it is feasible for each district to listen to parents and, more importantly, find a start time that will help their students reach the fullest potential. The ways of the past don’t always pave the way to future success.

In response to what I thought was a noncontroversial column by Leah Dunaief [Aug. 8] on the sad decline of local newspapers, a letter from Robert J. Parmegiani [“Newspapers have become too biased,” Aug. 15] claims that the cause of this decline is left-leaning bias. He couldn’t be further from the mark. The primary reason for the decline is reduced advertising revenue. Advertising is how newspapers make their money. According to the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, revenue from advertising is down sharply since 2005 while revenue from circulation is slightly up. Print newspapers are declining for the same reason brick and mortar outlets of every description are: technological change. Online outlets have not only taken billions of dollars from newspapers in ad revenue, they’re also giving away for free what newspapers report. Think of aggregators like Google News, Yahoo or HuffPost. Trained journalists who dig deep and check facts and sources are expensive, but it’s easy and cheap for anyone with a computer to “report” unsubstantiated allegations, rumors and conspiracy theories

as “news.” The letter writer gives two examples of purported left-leaning bias in newspapers. He claims that the Ohio shooter supported Elizabeth Warren, that the Florida school shooter supported Bernie Sanders and that not one newspaper reported this. Regarding the first, actually newspapers including The Washington Post and USA Today, as well as the AP wire service did report this. Even so, unlike the El Paso shooting, no connection has been established between the Ohio shooter’s motives and his politics, which makes his politics less newsworthy than those of the El Paso shooter, who drove more than 600 miles for the express purpose of killing “Mexicans.” As for the Florida school shooter’s supposed support for Bernie Sanders, the reason we haven’t read about it in the papers is because it’s not true. I challenge the letter writer to cite his source. What is true is that the shooter had significant psychological problems, that he was rabidly racist and anti-Semitic on social media, writing “I hate Jews, n----rs and immigrants” on Instagram, and that he used a legally purchased AR-15 to commit his crime.

As far as painting President Donald Trump (R) a racist, newspapers are not necessary. His own words and actions are sufficient. So instead of newspapers, what news source would the letter writer have us rely on? Trending stories on Facebook and Twitter? “The abusive and often factually incorrect tweets of the president?” Websites that are little more than propaganda and simply echo partisan talking points? The shouting heads, spinmeisters and selfappointed gurus on cable news? The biggest “fake news” of all is the purported left-leaning bias of the press. Maybe the letter writer hasn’t heard of Rupert Murdoch, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Times. For some, starting with Trump, “fake news” is anything that doesn’t reaffirm his greatness. No matter how firmly based in fact news reporting is, the letter writer apparently stands ready to accuse it of being “left leaning” if it doesn’t reconfirm his own political beliefs. There’s a name for this in sports. It’s called working the ref. David Friedman St. James

Voting is the underpinning of democracy I regularly depend on The Village Times Herald for my local news and information. I hope my letter about an important federal concern is read and acted on by as many of your readers as possible. Our democracy is in deep trouble. The founders, and the Constitution they produced, gave us a guide, but it could guarantee nothing. They depended on our citizenry to implement and protect one of the greatest experiment in government organization ever attempted — The United States of America. The main and most essential underpinning of our democracy is our

vote. We must work against suppression of the vote, gerrymandering, fake news and election machine tampering. The House of Representatives has just passed a bill to appropriate $600 million to aid the states in guaranteeing the correct count of our vote in 2020. It is meant to be spent on upgrading local election machines and election board procedures so that no one, no other country, can contaminate our legitimate ballot counts, as Russia attempted in 2016. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has refused to bring the bill up for a vote in the Senate.

We can do something to protect our democracy right now. I suggest that each of you who read this, call Chuck Schumer (D-NY) or Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) or both. Tell them to bring the House bill up for a vote, to make our voting machines secure, to verify the vote in 2020. Call 833-413-5906 and Common Cause will connect you. There will be an event all over the country Sept. 17 to support this. You can follow it online at SecureOurVote. US/take-action. Letters to the editor are important too. Rita Edwards South Setauket

The evolution of news Introduced in 1949, regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, the Fairness Doctrine required holders of a radio or television broadcast license to suspend entertainment and host independent, nonprofit programs reporting local, national and international news, sports and weather, for periods of no less than 10 minutes at least twice a day. This policy was dismantled, through a series of court battles in 1986, in favor of the

present policy of free market journalism. Justices of the high court of appeals in Washington, D.C., concluded that news was a form of entertainment and corporations holding licenses had a right to profit from it. Bias, right or left, is profitable entertainment. The news (story) will use tools, of conflict/resolution, from the fiction writer’s tool kit to get us to keep watching past the commercial or to read on. In today’s market “who, what, where

and when” is the only unbiased news you will get. TBR News Media is comprised of six community newspapers that focus on local news, and I applaud them for it. The editorial published Aug. 22 regarding local civic groups needing our participation is a case in point. I had not thought of that. I thank them for a good piece of unbiased writing.

Opinion

A modern update to Murphy’s law

ou know Murphy’s law, right? Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Well, it seems that we need to update Murphy’s law. To that end, please ﬁnd a few of my experiential and observational corollaries. • Your kids know more about electronics than you do. Yes, I know there are information technology people who are keeping up with the latest apps, some of whom may actually write D. None the apps. But most of the above of those people BY DANIEL DUNAIEF stop using their phones or looking at their work when

they go home. Your kids are using them all the time. They are professional app users, while you likely know one app extremely well. • You will receive a message from your airline when it doesn’t help. I appreciate how airlines, and even Expedia, offer to send you updates on your flights. Most of the time, however, the text that the plane is delayed two hours will arrive just after the car that’s brought you to the airport pulls away from the curb. • Following the rules at the doctor’s office, the DMV or anywhere else you might be a captive audience rarely works. I recently went to a doctor’s office half an hour early because the email requested that I arrive then for my first appointment. I waited more than an hour for a consultation that lasted a few minutes. • You’re likely to leave out a critical word at a critical time in a critical email. Let’s say someone proposes an idea at work that you find wholly objectionable and unworkable. You respond: “I can agree with this idea.”

Forgetting the word “not” then means that your boss, who proposed the idea in the ﬁrst place, now gives you ownership of a process that is even worse than it seemed when you ﬁrst read the email through your sleep-deprived eyes. • The cute baby that made you smile in the airport or the bus station will be sitting behind you for hours. In the few moments when he’s not screaming, he’s kicking your chair right behind your head, rendering the noise cancellation headphones you bought utterly useless. • In the world of TMI (too much information), you’re likely to hear something that makes you wish you had a plastic bubble. Someone near you on a subway will be talking to his friend on the phone about a strange rash that’s spreading everywhere while coughing violently into the air. • The cable or appliance repair person who gave you a four-hour window when he might arrive at your house will come at the beginning

of the window, the end of the window or in those three minutes you stepped out to get a cup of coffee just down the street. When you return to ﬁnd the note indicating how sorry he was that he missed you, you have an adult tantrum which terriﬁes the neighbors and their kids, who will no longer come to your house during Halloween. • Complaining about the performance of an athlete who never seems to live up to his or her potential means that athlete will do something incredible within moments of your most vocal complaint. That will be the case unless you’re complaining because you secretly believe that will lead to a winning effort. In that case, the athlete will meet your low expectations. • The year you move to a place where you’re assured there are no hurricanes, you watch the familiar sight of wind tearing through your backyard, as a hurricane fells trees you have owned for all of two weeks. Ah, cypress tree, we hardly knew you.

it’s a cliché, but one with signiﬁcance. To be fully aware at any given point of where we are and what is happening around us is to enjoy a full existence. Feeling the sand give way underfoot during a walk on the beach, hearing the calls of seagulls over the water as they search for dinner, feeling the soft wind coming up from the southwest as it blows against one’s cheek, smelling the salt in the air as the waves break against the shore — all of those experiences enhance the present moment. “Let it go,” offers another. Now we are getting into deeper discussion. We carry guilt to some degree, all humans do. We also carry anger, or fear, perhaps. We may struggle with resentment, envy, an affront, disappointment, hurt, traumatic memories and any number of other negative emotions. Have we learned after all this time to let them go? Or at least have we learned how to work through them so they lessen in our hearts and minds? “I have learned how much it pleases me to make connections,” was another response. “If I am somewhere and meet a stranger who is striving for a goal, and I know something

or someone else who could perhaps help that person to realize his or her ambition, I enjoy connecting them.” That comment made me think of one of my favorite analogies, that of comparing life to a game of billiards. We glance off each other as we move along, perhaps exchanging a few words in just a few moments that have meaning. I remember one day waiting for the light at Ninth Avenue in Manhattan on my way to the Lincoln Tunnel and New Jersey. How many times I had made that trip, and always the same way. But this one time I noticed that the pickup truck waiting next to me was turning in the opposite direction despite having New Jersey plates. So I rolled down my window and called out to the driver, asking where to turn. He yelled back his answer, the light changed and we both drove away. But his way shortened my trip by several minutes. In that brief exchange, he changed my life positively. How meaningful even the briefest connection can be. As you might tell, we had a good time at our mini-reunion.

An insightful reunion This week there was a mini-reunion at my house of college classmates who happened to be in the area. One actually came in from Arizona, but she was making her annual New York visit anyway and included a trip to my house from the city. It was great fun to see the nine women who arrived for lunch and chatter. As classmates we do share a lifetime bond and, as contemporaries, we share a lot of history and culture. We don’t have to stop mid-sentence Between and explain our obscure references you and me to younger listeners BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF because everyone gets the point. Each of us is curious to see how the others have aged. We mentally compare wrinkles,

double chins, weight gains. We talk about our children, our grandchildren, our husbands and, in a couple of cases, ex-husbands. We tell each other about good plays we have seen, worthwhile books we have read, interesting trips we have taken. But these are superﬁcialities. What we really want from each other is to share wisdom. After all, we have been around the block a few times by now and hopefully have learned a few things in the process. So we ask the question of the group: At this stage of life, what is a most important insight you have had? One answers, “To be appreciative.” I can certainly relate to that. To wake up in the morning and know you have the gift of a new day, and if you are lucky, to do with that time as you wish. Some who came still work, others are retired. Most people who come to reunions, I think, are basically happy with their lives. So since the miserable ones don’t come, those who do make it ﬁnd common currency in appreciation. “I have had a good life so far, I’ve been very lucky,” is a frequent refrain. “To be in the moment,” posits another. Yes,
