Village of Port Jefferson

PJ Village changes code in response to apartment dilemmas BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Village of Port Jefferson has a lot of apartments on its plate, both those developments already settled into their foundations and those still in the hopper. So far, the experience for Port Jeff community members and officials alike has not left the greatest impressions. Some points have become so contested that village officials voted to change the code to prevent similar experiences in the future. The village held three public hearings Sept. 3 to propose changes to the village code. Two code changes were in direct response to complaints of the development of separate apartment complexes. One code change was for payment in lieu of parking and the other on what counts for reducing the recreational space fee owed to the village. In the latter case, the village has moved to excise rooftop decks, patios and other common areas not accessible to the general public from being considered park or recreational facilities for the purposes of developers reducing the parkland fee paid to the village. Mayor Margot Garant said the change has

come after review of comments from the community, especially in regard to the fee paid by Tritec Real Estate Company, of which the mayor said is over $50,000, is still owed to the village. “As we cannot enjoy the rooftop deck at Shipyard, we don’t think that should be taken into consideration when taking a calculation of the fee,” she said.

In August 2018, the village passed a resolution reducing the fee levied on Tritec for not including sufficient public green space, with the mayor arguing at the time the desire to have developers build amenities and green space for use by their tenants. At that time, Trustee Bruce Miller vehemently disagreed with the decision. Just over a year since then, at the Sept. 3

meeting, Garant argued for a “bright line” code for the planning board to take into account in future developments, this time specifically pointing to the Tritec development for the code change. Not all Port Jeff residents saw this as a complete victory. Michael Mart, a longtime Port Jefferson resident and regular watchdog, said he applauded the change, but argued the code as it previously stood could have been interpreted to prevent developments like Shipyard from getting recreation fees lowered for private amenities. “The planning board members shouldn’t make the difference because the code governs what the planning board does,” Mart said. Garant disagreed. “[The recreation fee] was meant to make sure the village was getting an appropriate recreation fee for the stress that it puts on our public amenities,” she said. “Not to subtract the private amenities. I don’t think the language is strong enough as it exists to make that a protocol.” Barbara Sabatino, a member of the planning board, said it had been informed the facilities would not be off limits to nonresidents.

Some other locations in Suffolk County include Fairlawn Adult Home in Northport, Atria South Setauket and Maryville Assisted Living in Smithtown. According to ESAAL and Katz, the current SSI rate is less than $45 per day, which barely covers one half of a shift of one aide employed by an assisted living facility. Katz, who oversees 13 other employees at his facility, said he believes the state should

increase funding so he and others can continue to provide these valuable services to seniors. “These are their homes, I’ve had residents who have lived here [Echo Home] for close to 20 years,” he said. Katz and others have reached out to elected officials to help their cause, but he said Albany remains stagnant in trying to increase funding. SENIOR FACILITY Continued on A6

End of story

Local libraries, county fear future of e-book lending limitations BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As the internet has connected the world, libraries across Suffolk County have never been as linked as they are today with both patrons and each other. The written word is strong, despite claims to the contrary, especially with the proliferation of e-books and audiobooks. Suffolk County’s Library System allows for libraries to request books from fellow libraries and gives access to multitudes of e-books and audiobooks alike, all free on request, barring a wait list. Some publishing companies are not happy with the status quo. Macmillan Publishers, an international corporation and one of the top five publishing houses across the globe, announced its intent to limit the number of copies allowed to libraries to one for the first eight weeks of release starting Nov. 1. After those eight weeks, they can purchase “expiring” e-book copies which need to be re-purchased after two years or 52 lends. While this decision has rocked libraries across the country, in Suffolk County, as the interlibrary program and e-book lending is handled by the Suffolk Cooperative Library System, that will mean one copy of an e-book for the entire system, according to Kevin Verbesey, director of the county library system. Just one e-book license for the whole of Suffolk and its near 1.5 million residents for the first eight weeks of its release. To add some perspective, Verbesey said a hot new title could have thousands of residents on a wait list for the title, and the county library system usually tries to have one copy of said book for every two or three people requesting it. Like any anticipated piece of media, new and highly anticipated titles are most often sought and bought in those first eight weeks. Following that, barring renewed interest from something like a movie deal, attention begins to wane. Basically, the library system, which would usually purchase hundreds of licenses of that book, will effectively be restricted from having any. In socioeconomic terms, Verbesey said it means people who can afford it can buy a book. Those who can’t afford it will have their access restricted. “In some parts of the county where there’s not great socioeconomic need, people have the option to ‘press buy’ and buy it for $12, but that’s not the case everywhere,” Verbesey said. “Rich people can have it, but poor people can’t.”

The North Shore is one of Suffolk County’s heaviest concentration of library users, the county library system director said. Those patrons could see some of the biggest impact of this decision. Debbie Engelhardt, the Comsewogue Public Library director, said her patrons are savvy and know when books are set to hit the street, and they depend on the library to have e-book copies available. “We have a long history of working very hard to get things into people’s hands as quickly as we can,” she said. “Think about a tiny little library someplace, they can buy one, and then all of Suffolk County can buy one. It just doesn’t seem equitable.” Engelhardt said libraries often have deals to purchase books cheaper than retail price through deals with publishers. They will also create lease agreements to gather numerous copies of whatever is popular at the time, so they are not later burdened with multiple copies of that same tome. Ted Gutmann, the director of the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, also pointed to the interlibrary loan system, which means not every library will need to purchase every book as long as it’s available nearby. E-books, on the other hand, are purchased by libraries for sometimes ﬁve times its original asking price. A regular e-book could cost around $12. A library or library system will purchase it at around $50 or $60, according to Verbesey. This is because libraries need to buy the licensing agreement of the copy in order to lend it to multiple people over the course of its license before the agreement expires in a few years. Each publisher has different policies on how long the licenses last and what is the cost for relicensing a product. The Suffolk library system has an annual budget of $14 million, with $4 million being spent directly on e-books and for the services of Overdrive, an application used by libraries to distribute their electronic media. E-books currently make up approximately one of every four checkout items from libraries in Suffolk. Despite the price of these books, Verbesey said they are happy to purchase what can be hundreds of licenses of that one e-book if there’s demand. This new policy would make it pointless to purchase any copies. Macmillan did not respond to a request for comment, but in its original July 25 letter to Macmillan authors and agents announcing the change, CEO John Sargent wrote, “It seems

that given a choice between a purchase of an e-book for $12.99 or a frictionless lend for free, the American e-book reader is starting to lean heavily toward free … Our new terms are designed to protect the value of your books during their ﬁrst format publication. But they also ensure that the mission of libraries is supported. They honor the libraries’ archival mandate and they reduce the cost and administrative burden associated with e-book lending. We are trying to address the concerns of all parties.” The changes came after the corporation tested a 16-week embargo with e-books from its subsidiary Tor Publishing, concluding e-book lending had a negative impact on sales. Overdrive CEO Steve Potash condemned the move, calling the company’s original test data faulty adding that very few Tor e-books are available in public library catalogs. He pointed to other studies that showed libraries had no material impact on e-book sales. Authors published under MacMillan include romance author Nora Roberts, young adult fantasy based in African myth Tomi Adeyemi, and even famous and deceased authors such as C.S. Lewis. The company is also set to publish whistle-blower Edward Snowden’s memoirs this month, which is sure to become a hotly requested item. And though the libraries have no control over the publisher’s requests, some expect the onus to fall on the individual libraries themselves. “When a library serving many thousands has only a single copy of a new title in e-book format, it’s the library — not the publisher — that feels the heat,” said American Library Association President Wanda Brown in a July 25 statement.

Page A26

“It’s the local library that’s perceived as being unresponsive to community needs,” she added. Engelhardt pointed to data from the national Library Journal’s Generational Reading Survey for 2019, which showed 42 percent of those surveyed purchased the same book they borrowed from the library, and 70 percent bought another book of the same author of a book they borrowed. She added libraries are some of the biggest promoters for individual books, authors and literacy in general, and Macmillan may only be hurting its own brand. While the limitation on e-book lending won’t be in effect until November, libraries are already preparing to tell their patrons why Macmillan books won’t be available electronically. “We’re going to have to explain the publisher is not working with local libraries,” she said.

SENIOR FACILITY Continued from A4

Back in 2018, current Democratic U.S. Rep. Anthony Brindisi, while then a state assemblyman, introduced a bill (A6715B) that would increase the SSP that adult care facilities receive. In order to ensure that these services continue to be available to low-income SSI recipients. The bill passed both the Assembly and Senate but was ultimately vetoed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). ESAAL is requesting that NYS increase the current SSI rate to $61 in the 2020-21 state budget.

The administrator said it is also about educating people on what their organization does every day, as well as what kind of services these facilities provide. “These are a vulnerable group of people, these homes are providing a very good function,” he said. Katz said for many facilities like his, the increase of operation costs, wages and other factors in addition to the current SSI funding has made it difficult for some operators to continue to run its services. “Many facilities unfortunately are moving in that direction, he said. “The edge is coming closer for us, if nothing happens.”

Brookhaven issues safety violations to big box stores in town BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Brookhaven Town has issued 22 summonses and 21 violations for numerous alleged safety violations of big box stores. Town fire marshals visited 39 big box stores Aug. 30 to ensure they were in compliance with fire codes. The 22 summonses were for various infractions including blocked aisles and exits, and one for propane stored inside. “Our number one priority is the shoppers and employees who expect to be safe and able to exit the store in the event of an emergency,” said Brookhaven Town Chief Fire Marshal Christopher Mehrman. “Ensuring aisle widths

are maintained and exits are not blocked by merchandise are just some of the things we are looking at. The town has a zero-tolerance approach to these violations.” The fire marshals also issued 21 violations that did not warrant a summons and were not egress related. Each summons issued is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine up to $10,000 and/or up to six months in jail. “A blocked aisle or exit could mean the difference between life and death during a fire or other emergency,” town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said. “We will not tolerate any violation of our fire codes.” People who suspect that any store or business is in violation of Brookhaven’s fire codes can call 631-451-TOWN (8696).

SBU medical school implements new opioid education session BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM At Stony Brook University Renaissance School of Medicine, a new generation of doctors and dentists are involved in a novel approach to managing the opioid epidemic. The training includes instruction from reformed narcotic users, who act as teachers. A 25-year-old woman recently explained to the first-year students how she became addicted to opioids at the age of 15, when a friend came over with Vicodin prescribed by a dentist after a tooth extraction. Addiction, she said, is like having a deep itch inside that desperately needs to be scratched. “There was nothing that could stand between me and getting high,” said the young woman, who wants to remain anonymous. “Most of the time it was my only goal for the day. At $40 a pill, I switched to heroin which costs $10.” Dr. Lisa Strano-Paul, SBU assistant dean for Clinical Education, who helped coordinate the session, said that “patients as teachers” is widely practiced in medical education. This is the first year reformed narcotic users are participating in the program. “People’s stories will stick with these medical students for the rest of their lives,” she said. “Seeing such an articulate woman describe her experiences was impactful.” Gerard Fischer, a doctor of dental surgery candidate from St. James, took part in the patient-as-teacher session on narcotics. “You learn empathy, a quality people want to see in someone practicing medicine,“ Fischer said. “People don’t choose to become addicted to narcotics. So, you want to understand.” After working in dental offices over the last several years, he’s noticed that habits for prescribing painkillers are changing. “Dental pain is notoriously uncomfortable because it’s in your face and head,” he said. “No one wants a patient to suffer.” Pain management, though, requires walking a fine line, he added, saying, “Patient awareness is increasing, so many of them now prefer to take ibuprofen and acetaminophen rather than a prescription narcotic, which could be a reasonable approach.” Hearing the young woman tell her story, he said, will undoubtedly influence his decision-making when he becomes a practicing dentist. An estimated 180 medical and dental students attended the training last month. Overall, Strano-Paul said she’s getting positive feedback from the medical students about the session. The woman who overcame addiction and shared her insights with the medical professionals, also found the experience rewarding. We respect her request to remain anonymous and are grateful that she has decided to share her story with TBR News Media. For

the rest of this article, we shall refer to her as “Claire.”

Faith, hope and charity

“I told the doctors recovery has nothing to do with science,” Claire said. “They just looked at me.” Claire was addicted to drugs and alcohol for seven years and went to rehab 10 times over the course of five years. “I did some crazy things, I jumped out of a car while it was moving,” Claire said, shaking her head in profound disbelief. She leapt from the vehicle, she said, the moment she learned that her family was on their way to a rehab facility. Fortunately, she was unharmed and has now been off pain pills and drugs for close to six years. She no longer drinks alcohol. “Yes, it is possible to recover from addiction,” Claire said. People with addiction issues feel empty inside, Claire explained, while gently planting her fist in her sternum. She said that once her counselor convinced her to pray for help and guidance, she was able to recover. “Somehow praying opens you up,” she said. Claire was raised Catholic and attended Catholic high school but says that she’s not a religious person. “I said to my counselor, “How do I pray, if I don’t believe or know if there’s a God?” She came to terms with her spirituality by appreciating the awe of nature. She now prays regularly. Recovery, she said, is miraculous. Alcoholics Anonymous’ 12-step regimen, first published in 1939 in the post-Depression era, outlines coping strategies for better managing life. Claire swears by the “big book,” as it’s commonly called. She carefully read the first 165 pages with a counselor and has highlighted passages that taught her how to overcome addictions to opioids and alcohol. Being honest, foregoing selfishness, praying regularly and finding ways to help others have become reliable sources of her strength. Spirituality is the common thread Claire finds among the many people she now knows who have recovered from addiction.

“Medication-assisted therapy should not be discounted,” Strano-Paul said. “It improves the outcome and enables people to hold jobs and addresses criminal behavior tendencies.” While the assistant dean is not involved with that aspect of the curriculum, the topic is covered somewhat in the clerkship phase of medical education during sessions on pain management and when medical students are involved in more advanced work in the medical training, she said. The field, though, is specialized. The federal government requires additional certification before a medical practitioner can prescribe buprenorphine. Once certified, doctors and their medical offices are further restricted to initially prescribe the medicine to only 30 patients annually. Critics say no other medications have government-mandated patient limits on lifesaving treatment. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, considers the therapy to be “misunderstood” and “greatly underused.” In New York state, 111,391 medical practitioners are registered with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to prescribe opioids and narcotics. Only 6,908 New York practitioners to

Medication-assisted therapy

Personally, Claire recommends abstinence over treating addiction medically with prescription drugs such as buprenorphine. The drug, approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration since 2002, is a slow-release opioid that suppresses symptoms of withdrawal. When combined with behavior therapy, the federal government recommends it as treatment for addiction. Medication alone, though, is not viewed as sufficient. The ultimate goal of medication-assisted therapy, as described on the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services website on the topic, is a holistic approach to full recovery, which includes the ability to live a self-directed life.

date are permitted to prescribe opioids for addiction treatment as at Aug. 31. Strano-Paul for instance, pointed out that she can prescribe opioids, but is prohibited from prescribing the opioid-based drug used for addiction therapy. The narcotics education program is still evolving, Strano-Paul said. New medical student training now also includes certification for Narcan, the nasal spray antidote that revives opioid overdose victims. “It saves lives,” Strano-Paul said. In a study titled “The Staggering Cost of Long Island’s Opioid Crisis,” data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the New York State Department of Health reveal the opioid death rate in Suffolk County for 2017 was 41 percent higher than the state average, with 424 overdose deaths. The county is aware of 238 potentially lifesaving overdose reversals as of June 30 attributed to Narcan this year alone. Since 2012, Narcan has helped to save the lives of 3,864 people in the county. As for Claire, now a mother, she delivered her children through C-section. In the hospital, she was offered prescription opioids for pain. “No one will ever see me again, if you give me those pills,” she said.

And it was, even before the race started, with the annual regatta raising $91,000 for cancer research, the most it has ever raised since the event started with help from the Port Jefferson Yacht Club 10 years ago. The amount is being split evenly by the national nonproﬁt Lustgarten Foundation’s pancreatic cancer research program and John T. Mather Memorial Hospital’s Palliative Medicine Program. The event has raised well over $600,000 in the 10 years since it was created. After hours of tense racing through Port Jefferson Harbor, Port Jeff village regained the cup

from Mather, who held it after winning it in 2017. The 2018 event was canceled due to weather, and the winner of the cup went to Mother Nature instead. At a party after the race at the Port Jefferson Village Center, Mather Hospital gifted the yacht club a plaque commemorating its efforts to help put on the event. Joan Fortgang, a Port Jeff resident who has raced for the village the past nine years along with her husband Mort, said she has loved the event since the beginning. As part of the yacht club since 1973, she said their group has lost several good people to cancer, which originally helped prompt the idea for the event. “This is great fun,” she said.

CODE CHANGES Continued from A3

“At the time we made that decision we were informed by Tritec that those outside decks that have view of the harbor could be accessed by the public, that it wasn’t Tritec residents only,” she said. Representatives of Tritec did not answer multiple phone calls for comment. Mart said the onus should not be just on Tritec for “pulling the wool,” but on the village and planning boards for not enforcing their vision of the code. The mayor said the village is still owed the fee from The Shipyard, which she added they can only pursue after the developer files the deeds with the Suffolk County Clerk’s Office. “I can’t really say when those deeds are recorded, but as far as I’m concerned, I want my money,” she said. Also discussed in the meeting was a change to the code on payment in lieu of parking, citing another apartment development in the space that Cappy’s Carpets once occupied. In a March public meeting, attorney’s representing Brooks Partners LLC, a subsidiary of Port Jefferson-based Gitto Group, said the — Bruce D’Abramo Cappy’s Carpets project, known as Brockport, would have to pay for four spaces in payment in lieu of parking. The project is set to have 78 spaces of parking for its residents and for those working in the retail stores set to be located under the new apartments. The New York State Department of Transportation recommended removing two on-street parking stalls along Main Street for safer access to the property on Main Street. This did not sit well with some community members who saw it as a loss of parking spots in a village desperate for more lot space. Garant attended that March meeting and agreed with those who criticized the project for the loss. “But for that project we would still have two on-street parking spaces,” she said. Bruce D’Abramo, the only board member to vote “no” on this code change, said it was out of the developers’ hands, having been ordered through the state DOT. “In the case we are talking about the applicant who had no choice in this matter, it was the DOT who removed two on-street parking spaces on a state road that the village has no real control over anyway,” he said. Mart, again, asked why the planning board did not make it a condition of their approval of the building’s site plans to mandate paying for the loss of the on-street spots. “The planning board had the opportunity to make it a condition on the approval,” he said. Chris Bianco, an attorney working on behalf of the village alongside Village Attorney Brian Egan, said the planning board would be on shaky ground if it made that a condition under the current code. Garant acknowledged the change in code could present legal trouble down the road. “I know everybody’s hands are kinda tied,” she said. “Somebody can certainly challenge me on that and take me to court, but I would rather be on the upside of that than downside of that.”

Harborfields Tornadoes blow out PJ Royals BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Harborfields Tornadoes had the measure of the Lady Royals of Port Jefferson in their season opener Sept. 10, winning the game at home 7-1. Senior co-captain Gracie Heil led the way for the Tornadoes with two goals, while junior Katie Davis scored along with an assist. Junior Kate Christensen, senior Mia Desiderio, junior Taylor Sammis

and freshman Melissa Neder rounded out the scoring with a goal apiece. Harborfields senior keeper Zoe Krief made seven saves at net. The Royals broke the ice in the second half when sophomore Abigal Rolfe’s shot found the net with 18 minutes left. Port Jeff plays an away game against Hampton Bays before they take on Kings Park in their first home game Sept. 18 at 4 p.m. The Tornadoes retake the field Sept.

16 at home where they’ll try their hand against the Lady Kingsmen. Game time is also 4:00 p.m. Photos clockwise from top right: Port Jeff freshman defender Amy Whitman looks to clear the ball; sophomore Abigal Rolfe battles for possession; junior defender Reese Koban clears the ball; senior Holly D’Accordo gives the ball her heel; junior goalie Nicole Schully punts the ball deep.

Letters to the Editor

How libraries survive Support your local soup kitchens Believe it or not, people still read books. Despite the doom and gloom and often-reiterated refrain that young people today are illiterate, the world and its modern technology has not managed to cripple the long-standing literary institution: the local library. Libraries survive by the manic activity of their employees and the attention of patrons. But it’s no longer just physical copies. E-books, available on tablets and phones, have become a mainstay in the way people read. People at libraries can rent tablets preloaded with several books. For people on the move, a tablet can be much easier to carry than a stack of 10 books each averaging at 300 pages and weighing a few pounds. Clearly, it won’t be its patrons that ruin libraries for everyone, but the book publishers themselves. Macmillan Publishers, one of the top five biggest publishing houses in the U.S., announced its intent to soon limit the number of copies of its published books to one per library for the first eight weeks. While that seems like the corporation is cutting off its nose to spite its face, for Suffolk County’s library system, which handles all of the area’s e-book rentals, it means patrons will have access to one single copy countywide for rent. Think about who uses a library. The highest levels of patronage are enjoyed by people living in the North Shore communities, according to Kevin Verbesey, the director of the Suffolk Cooperative Library System. While there are plenty of people who use the library for its many events and other activities, many others use the system to gain insights on world events and better themselves as they enjoy free access to computers and books. They find solace during an escape into literature. It seems cynical, ludicrous and downright greedy on the part of the publisher to limit access. It suggests the current library system, which has existed for more than a century, is now, all of a sudden, cutting into publisher’s profits. Meanwhile there is good evidence to suggest libraries help create buzz and interest for the publisher’s books. Data from the Library Journal suggests many readers will go out and purchase the same book they borrowed from a library, and even more buy a book by the same author as one they borrowed from the library. The library system exists and is as natural as the written word itself. Librarians across the country look at the publisher’s actions and condemn them, but their voices are drowned out by the scale of the overall operation. While Macmillan may assume people will simply go out and buy the book instead of getting it from the library, this hurts all those who cannot afford a new book, in electronic or physical form. Even worse, other publishers will potentially copy what Macmillan has done, severely limiting access for patrons to their electronic literature. Libraries are the backbone of culture in a community. We ask all North Shore residents show support for their local library. Start a petition. Other publishers are waiting in the wings to see what happens. Letting Macmillan’s model become the norm will only harm the collective good.

The following is an open letter to the wonderful Congregation at Christ Church United Methodist in Port Jefferson Station. The Volunteers of Welcome Friends, formerly known as Welcome INN, would like to thank you publicly for the privilege of partnering with Christ Church United Methodist to provide hot nutritious dinners for our needy neighbors. This soup kitchen was founded more than 20 years ago by members of your church and has continuously provided homemade balanced meals weekly. The need is far greater than many people might imagine — these are the “hidden poor” — actually we serve fewer than 7 percent of truly “homeless” guests. Most of these folks are neighbors who are minimally employed, elderly,

unemployed or physically challenged as well as families with young children and senior citizens. When folks are financially challenged, it becomes difficult to budget everyday household expenses including rent/mortgage, utilities, transportation, insurances, clothing, as well as fresh wholesome foods. At your church, volunteers serve approximately 3,120 meals per year. Over the past 15 years — that means at least 46,800 meals! Welcome Friends is proud of the long, outstanding tradition that we share with your church — caring for the most vulnerable in our community. This service is truly in line with the most basic Christian tenet to “feed the hungry.” The love of “neighbor” as the Good Samaritan parable teaches is finest

when done without regard for benefit to oneself. Surely the church support of this mission is unquestionably the most tangible example of perfect love. With the long cold winter months approaching, we are reminded that the guests often lack many basics that most of us take for granted — especially warm homes and hot meals. Guests are onsite for only 60 minutes each week but their gratitude lasts much longer! It is humbling to be part of such a dynamic and dedicated team and very reassuring that the commitment of local faith-based institutions, including Christ Church United Methodist, is solid in supporting our soup kitchens! Volunteers of Welcome Friends Port Jefferson Station

Misconceptions about Medicare There are many areas in which I take issue with the letter of Carol Florio and Lisa Pius (The Port Times Record, Sept. 5, “No such thing as a free lunch), but I will focus on just two. They inveigh against government health care programs, but I

and everyone I know who has Medicare think it is the best insurance we’ve ever had. Previously, my private insurance tried not to pay claims in every which way. In addition, there is no conflict between taking care of homeless people and

treating asylum seekers legally and other immigrants humanely. I am unaware that our president has done anything about either except create the crisis at our borders. Adam D. Fisher Port Jefferson Station

In support of later school start times for teens We are writing to strongly support the Aug. 29 TBR editorial on school start times (“Let teenagers sleep”) and the recent grassroots efforts to do something about them discussed in the article in the same issue. The irrationality of forcing teens to wake as early as 5:45 a.m. and expecting them to be mentally sharp at 7:05 a.m. (Ward Melville’s start time) is by now clear. Early start times run counter to the biology of the teen sleep-wake cycle. In sleep lab studies, the awake state of a typical sleepstarved teen more closely resembles that of a patient with narcolepsy than that of a healthy person. And even sleep-deprived, many teens are physiologically unable to fall asleep earlier. Across the country, there is an accelerating trend toward later high school start times. A bill currently before the California State

Senate would ban start times before 8:30 a.m. The trend itself has been studied. At the community level, delayed start times typically meet initial resistance and require a number of adjustments. But ultimately, they achieve their intended aim of healthier teens and offer countless success stories (www. startschoollater.net/success-stories.html). Stress and anxiety are on the rise among teens. Several years ago, in a school editorial titled “Sleep Deprivation: Part of the Ward Melville Culture?” then-student Kirti Nath poignantly asked, “In a utopian version of Ward Melville, where everyone gets enough sleep, would people be happier with themselves and with each other? Would students be able to cope with stress better?” Perhaps not all teens suffer when start times are early, but we suspect most readers know some who do. We urge administrators, teachers, parents and teens

in our district to ask themselves: If we know this is an important public health issue, why don’t we do something about it? The TBR editorial opens, intriguingly, “Parents across the North Shore are hoping their teenagers will soon get to sleep in — even during the school year.” Can change be coming? For years we remember seeing on the district website an official statement saying, in essence, “If you’re thinking of asking about later school start times, the matter is closed.” In light of the continuing scientific evidence of the health hazards posed by sleep deprivation, and the growing number of school districts that are switching to later start times, we think it’s high time to reconsider.

Opinion

Back to school thoughts, and more

here’s just far too much going on personally and professionally to contain it within a singularly focused column. Strap yourselves in, because here we go. For starters, how awesome is the start of the school year? Kids grumble, shufﬂe their feet, roll their eyes and sigh. But, come on. It’s a clean slate. It’s a chance to learn new material, make new D. None friends and start of the above anew with teachers who didn’t BY DANIEL DUNAIEF wonder what was wrong with you

when your eyes were almost closed during the days before you got sick. It’s also a chance for parents to breathe a sigh of relief as the chaotic house, which was ﬁlled with friends coming and going throughout the summer, establishes a predictable routine. I spoke with a high school senior recently who was absolutely thrilled with the start of her ﬁnal year of school. Not only does she want to get her grade point average up, which she was doing with a high average in her weakest subject, but she was also incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunity to apply to her favorite college. Her energy and enthusiasm were infectious. Keep up: Here comes another topic. The other day, after I dropped my son off at school, I passed a father who put me and so many other parents to shame. He was pushing a fully loaded double stroller with two children who were between 2 and 4 years old. Anyone who has had to push a double

stroller with bigger children knows how heavy that bus on wheels can get. He also sported a younger child in a BabyBjörn carrier. That’s not where it ended. While he was pushing and carrying three children, he was walking an enormous dog. Given the size of the dog, I wondered if he was tempted to strap a saddle on the animal and put one of the kids on top of him. Yes, I know that wouldn’t actually work, but it would distribute all that child weight more evenly and would give “man’s best friend” a job to do, other than getting rid of waste products on other people’s lawns. Speaking of dogs, yes, my family now has a dog. He’s wonderful, soft and ﬂuffy and is also an enormous pain in the buttocks. He has two modes of walking: He either pulls me really hard — he weighs more than 80 pounds — or he completely stops, pushing his snout into grass that he tries to eat and which upsets his stomach. Look, doggie dog, I know I can’t eat

dairy because of the enormous negative consequences. Does it occur to you that eating grass, dirt, plastic foam cups and pencils is bad for your digestion? Of course not because the only cause and effect you care about relates to what goes in your mouth. So, last weekend we went to a baseball tournament for our son. The day after the tournament, the coach sent a pointed note to the parents, reminding us to contact him if we had a problem or question, rather than going straight to management. In case you were wondering, I don’t miss coaching. Then there’s National Security Advisor John Bolton. So, he gets fired for being a hawk? Who knew he was a hawk? Oh, wait, just about the whole world. So, that begs the question: If his hawkish views weren’t welcome or wanted, why was he hired in the first place? One more question: When did the weather or hurricane warnings become political?
