ALDI supermarket chain to come at former thrift shop location on Middle Country Road By Giselle Barkley ALDI, the German discount supermarket chain, is expanding its business to Selden. Construction is currently underway at 614 Middle Country Road. The new market, which will join Family Dollar, Carvel and others in the Westfield Shopping Center, is the fifth store to be built in Suffolk County, joining

locations in Lake Grove, Bay Shore, Lindenhurst and Patchogue. The food retailer will replace the former site of the Selden Thrift Shop, which relocated further west a few years ago and is now called Island Thrift. ALDI, which first came to the United States in 1976, claims on its website that shoppers can save 50 percent over traditional supermarkets

on the items it carries. Customers can use a quarter to receive a shopping cart and are encouraged to bring their own bags. ALDI’s parent company, Albrecht Discount, also owns TraderJoe’s.Bothchainsfollowasimilarmodel,carryingalmostexclusively private-label items in smaller-sized stores. In light of the expansion ALDI, is hiring a store associate, a shift manag-

er and a manager trainee for $12.75, $17.00,d $25 per hour, respectively. The chain is offering medical, dental, vision coverage and a retirement savings plan. For more information, visit the Patchogue ALDI at 367 Sunrise Highway, the Lake Grove ALDI at 139 Alexander Avenue and the Bay Shore ALDI at 1851 Sunrise Highway.

The Democrats’ race to regain the 1st Congressional District is on, as a former Southampton Town supervisor has stepped up to challenge for the red seat. AnnaThrone-Holsthadapotentialfinalterm at the head of Southampton’s town board, but declined to run so she could free herself up for a congressional campaign. She, along with Setauket native Dave Calone, will face off in a federal primary on June 28 to determine who will square off against freshman U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) in November. Zeldin unseated six-term Democrat Tim Bishop by a wide margin — 54 percent of the vote to 45 percent — in a contentious election back in 2014, and saw Democratic challengers stepping up to reclaim the spot within a matter of months. Throne-Holst entered the race in the latter half of 2015 and has been aggressive inherattacksagainsttheRepublicanlawmaker ever since. Inasit-downwithTBRNewsMedia,ThroneHolst, a mother of four, described her potential Republican opponent as a conservative, climate change-denier who votes largely along party lines. “When we have legislators who are focusing on being destructive rather than constructive, I think it’s time to make a positive change,” she said. “I think there’s a lot of buyer’s remorse with Lee Zeldin. He has just voted straight down the line.” Government tracking website GovTrack reported 45 percent of Zeldin’s 11 bills and resolutions had both Democratic and Republican cosponsors in 2015. The site also showed Zeldin cosponsored 116 bills and resolutions intro-

duced by other members of Congress, rating his willingness to work with others to advance policy goals as second lowest among the New York delegation. Jennifer DiSiena, a spokeswoman for Zeldin, said Zeldin has pursued an aggressive agenda on behalf of his constituents on Long Island, working to protect America’s security at home and abroad, help grow the economy, support veterans and first responders, improve the quality of education, repair the nation’s infrastructure and safeguard our environment. “Since day one, Congressman Zeldin has been working all day, every day across party lines delivering results on important issues facing his constituents,” DiSiena said in a statement. “Aside from introducing and passing bipartisan bills in Congress with support across the aisle, he has been recognized as the top freshman Republican likely to co-sponsor legislation with members of the opposite party.” “Congressman Zeldin believes the climate has always been changing. Instead of taking a position on so many issues that matter most to NY-1 voters, these two Democratic candidates are desperately trying to distract and deflect, to throw up anything at all against the wall to see what politically charged attack can stick.” Throne-Holst said she had a proven track record while serving in elected office that could translate to the national level. Before entering public office, she co-founded the Hayground School — an elementary school dedicated to educating students and supporting children with different learning needs. She was the first Democrat to be elected supervisor in Southampton since 1993, overcoming a heavy red-leaning electorate on

the East end after years of serving on the town board. She touted her experience as supervisor working to reduce spending and help the town achieve a AAA bond rating — the highest of its caliber. She used her capacity as supervisor to work closely with Stony Brook University, helping to secure funding for a clean water research center and seeking ways to improve Long Island’s septic system technologies. She also said she supported bipartisan efforts to preserve Southampton’s shorelines, resulting in the saving of 1,200 acres of open space. She has garnered support from some of the Democratic Party’s biggest players, including Bishop, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and longtime incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Israel (DHuntington),whoThrone-Holstsaidwaspivotal in convincing her to run.

Town tallies up $1 million to study Stony Brook traffic By Phil Corso The state and town have teamed up and come up big for traffic safety in Stony Brook. More than $1 million will make its way to the North Shore with help from its elected officials to fund a traffic safety improvement project on Stony Brook Road, officials announced this week. The money, which came largely through state Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) and state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), will examine a contentious stretch from Oxhead Road to Development Drive in Stony Brook, to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety as well as accessibility to public transportation. The community surrounding Stony Brook University has been a longtime talking point for North Shore natives as an area in desperate need of improvement. “I am proud to have worked with Stony Brook University and the Town of Brookhaven to advance this important project that will improve safety for students and residents alike,” said Flanagan, who secured $1 million for the project.“Creatingmorewalkablecommunities is a move toward the future and I am happy to havecontributedtosuchaworthwhileproject.” Once completed, the undertaking should herald the construction of a continuous

stallation of new left turn lanes at the existing signalized intersections; installation of

a new traffic signal at Development Drive; and pedestrian signal upgrades, ornamental pedestrian-scale lighting, landscaping and ADAcompliant handicap ramps. Flanagan’s $1 million, coupled with an additional $75,000 in grant funding that Englebright helped acquire, will hopefully reduce the presence of motorized forms of transportation and create a more united community surrounding the university. “I applaud the ongoing efforts of Superintendent Losquadro and President Stanley to improve safety on Stony Brook Road and am heartened to see this project coming closer to fruition,” Englebright said. “The state funding secured by Senator Flanagan and myself will make a safer road for walkers and bicyclists by providing sidewalks, bicycle lanes, street lighting and a new traffic signal with pedestrian upgrades.” SamuelL.Stanley,presidentofStonyBrook University, said pedestrian safety has been a longtime priority for the 25,000-student campus. Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) said the project was a pivotal step in the transformation of the community surrounding Stony Brook University.

Suffolk County considers $1 surcharge vote for cleaner water By Phil Corso Voters in Suffolk County could be deciding whether or not they’d like to pay more for their water to improve its quality. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) brought a big crew of environmentalists and lawmakers with him on Monday to announce his plan to address nitrogen pollution in drinking and surface water across the region by charging an additional $1 per 1,000 gallons of water. If it receives the state’s blessing, the plan could go before Suffolk County residents in a referendum vote in November. The proposal would establish a water quality protection fee, which would fund the conversion of homes from outdated septic systems to active treatment systems, the county executive said. He estimated the $1 surcharge would generate roughly $75 million in revenue each year to be solely dedicated to reducing nitrogen pollution — and still keep Suffolk County’s water rates nearly 40 percent lower than the national average. “What we have seen over the decades is a decimation of our surface waters and the latest numbers showing disturbing trends in the groundwater,” Bellone said. “Clearly, the overwhelming source of that nitrogen pollution is from us. We have 360,000 homes on old septic and cesspool systems.” Bellone said the proposal would supplement similar efforts from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who established a $383 million investment in expanding sewers in Suffolk County. The governor launched the Center for Clean WaterTechnologyatStonyBrookUniversityand provided funding for the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan over the past several years to help create recurring revenue for clean water infrastructure. Richard Amper, executive director of the

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone pitches the proposal. Long Island Pine Barrens Society, endorsed the county proposal as Suffolk County rising to the occasion. He referred to nitrogen as the chief culpritbehindthecounty’swaterpollution,with most of that coming from its wastewater. “Two-thirds of it in Suffolk County is coming from 360,000 homes with 5,000-year-old technology,” he said Monday. “We know what to do about it. We’ve studied it. The public is satisfied that … investment had to be made in studying it. Now it’s time for action.” Roughly 90 percent of the population in Nassau County operates under an active wastewater treatment system through connections to sewage plants. But in Suffolk County, there are more than 360,000 individual cesspools and septic systems — representing more unsewered homes than in the entire state of New Jersey — that are more likely to release nitrogen into the ground and surface water. Marc Herbst, executive director of the Long

IslandContractors’Association,saidtheinitiative was necessary for the future of the environment. “It is about building a wastewater treatment systemthatensurestheenvironmentalintegrity of our county, the underlying foundation of our economy and the value of our homes,” he said. “The Long Island Contractors’ Association supports this proposal because if we don’t take this step, we are putting our collective future at serious risk. It is as simple, and crucial, as that.” The state must authorize the proposal in order for it to make the ballot in November. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) — a known environmental activist — said the measure would do wonders for the state’s water supply. “We’re really looking at an opportunity to correct some deficiencies that could, if left uncorrected, unhinge our economy, which is based upon people bathing and recreating in our coastal waters, fishing and otherwise enjoy-

ingourwaters,”hesaid.“Forthefirsttime,weare pulling a program together that integrates both our fresh water and saltwater in one protection initiative, and that is very significant.” BrookhavenheldapublichearinglastThursday night before adopting a low-nitrogen zone for various properties 500 feet from major water bodies,likeSetauketandPortJeffersonharbors, requiring all new development or expansions to install low-nitrogen septic systems rather than standard cesspools. Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) endorsed the county plan for increasing the momentum away from nitrogen pollution and providing voters with the choice. “I applaud County Executive Bellone for his leadership in advancing this plan to restore water quality across this county and, more importantly, for proposing that the people of Suffolk decide whether the plan should be implemented,” he said.

In addition to the $1 million in state funding — which comes from the New York State Dormitory Authority, through its State and Municipal Facilities Capital Program — and the $75,000 secured through the state multi-

ThROne-hOlsT Continued from page A3 “Anna is exactly what we need in Congress,” Israel said in an email. “She has a proven track record of rolling up her sleeves and getting right to work, like she has done as supervisor. Southampton now has a AAA bond rating. She has strengthened the community with job creation and launched economic growth with downtown revitalization.” If elected, Throne-Holst would be the first woman to represent the 1st District, which covers virtually the entire east end of Long Island from Smithtown outward. Her campaign has raised close to $1.1 mil-

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) has been working with the town board to usher in agreatercorridorstudyofRoute25A,whichpasses through Stony Brook, and said the traffic study project would also help propel the town toward a safer space for foot traffic. “Safer roads are a great way to promote pedestrian traffic around Stony Brook University,” Romaine said. “This is a perfect example to prove how different levels of government can work together to get things done. I thank Senator Flanagan and Assemblyman Englebright for securing the funding and their commitment to improving the quality of life in Brookhaven town.”

Her Democratic opponent has also collected key endorsements from State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), Suffolk CountyLegislatorSarahAnker(D-MountSinai), Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright(D-PortJeffersonStation),SuffolkCounty LegislatorBridgetFleming(D-SagHarbor),East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell (D) and more. In a previous interview, Calone, who has never held elected office, said his handson experience helping Long Island businesses thrive was a driving force behind his decision to run. He works as CEO of Jove Equity Partners LLC, a venture capital firm that helps start and build technology companies.

Centereach game postponed due to weather Baseball By Bill Landon With rain coming down, Centereach took to the field against Huntington and the Blue Devils stepped into the batter’s box first for a League IV baseball matchup Tuesday afternoon in Centereach.

Huntington (1-11 in conference play) struck first when, on a Centereach throwing error, Brian Donnelly crossed the plate for the first run of the game. Centereach’s Victor Corsaro doubled, representing the tying run in the bottom of the inning, and teammate Kyle Cerbone ripped one through the gap to even the score with two outs. The rain grew steady though, and when the umpire behind the plate charged the infield to cover the ensuing play, he slipped and fell in deteriorating conditions. “I saw him slip the first time and he warned me about the field conditions, and I said to him ‘we’ve had this conversation before,’” Centereach head coach Mike Herrschaft said. “This field can’t take a lot of rain and you can see how it’s getting slick out there at shortstop.” Huntington managed to score another run in the top of the second to take a 2-1 lead, and the Cougars went back to work at the plate. Centereach (2-10) popped the ball up shallow in the infield and the plate umpire approached the play and fell a second time. The official was slow to get up. After a brief conference between both coaches, the umpires left Nick Corsaro in the batter’s box with his team trailing by one with two outs. “The umpire called the game because of

unsafe conditions on the field,” Huntington head coach Bill Harris said. “Where the field transitions to the grass, he slipped and fell.” The game was suspended after an inning and a half, so the balance of the game will be completed at a later date. “I saw him slip the second time and he said he didn’t want to see one of the kids slip and get hurt,” Herrschaft said. “You can’t argue with that, but this is the first time I’ve known a game to be called because of unsafe conditions for the umpires. The kids are wearing spikes and the umpires are wearing sneakers.” Herrschaft added that both teams will take the mound Friday afternoon for a scheduled matchup and then complete the suspended game for the doubleheader at home. Centereach traveled to Huntington on Wednesday for game two of the threegame series, but results of that game were not available by press time.

The Middle Country boys’ lacrosse team hosted North Baylon Tuesday and outscored its opposition.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor So many bad options in presidential race Truthfully, I don’t like any of the candidates in this year’s presidential contest. It has been a very long time since I have voted “for” any presidential candidate, but this year’s crop seems to take the cake. We have Hillary Clinton criticizing Bernie Sanders because she, or so she says, believes gun manufacturers

should have to be financially liable whenever a crazy person misuses a firearm. Isn’t that like saying Ford, General Motors, Toyota, etc. should be financially liable every time a drunk gets in a car and kills someone? And what about “the Donald?” I would rather vote for Donald Duck. Now we have Bernie,

who is going to make everything “free” for everyone. Then there is Ted Cruz. Do we really want or need another West Texas politician? Doesn’t much of the news coverage make you feel like you’ve caught a bad stomach virus? But that’s just one man’s opinion — or is it? Francis G. Gibbons Sr. Terryville

Discharging homes’ wastewater into sewer systems could keep harmful substances out of our water supply.

Dive deeper into wallets for cleaner water Our water supply is pooped. Hundreds of thousands of homes in Suffolk County run on their own septic systems or cesspools, which leak nitrogen from waste into the soil and, thus, into our groundwater and other water sources. Elevated nitrogen levels are dangerous because they mess with our ecosystem — one effect is promoting algae growth, which decreases the water’s oxygen supply that fish and other creatures need to live and produces toxins and bacteria that are harmful to humans. Sewers are a more convenient and modern technology for areas with populations at least as dense as Suffolk County. But, more importantly, sewer systems are also a crucial line of defense for our drinking water and the healthy waterways we treasure. Legislators and community members complain all the time about how Suffolk needs to hook up more properties to sewer systems, but they also say there’s no money to do it. County Executive Steve Bellone’s proposal to charge an additional $1 per 1,000 gallons of water used — and to put those dollars into a special account dedicated to sewering Suffolk — could help. The funds collected would be used in conjunction with other funding, such as from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s $383 million initiative to support clean water infrastructure. To put Bellone’s proposed surcharge into perspective, that’s $1 for every 50 days of showers for a family of four, based on average water usage numbers from the U.S. Geological Survey. It’s another $1 for roughly every 333 toilet flushes. Add $1 for every 40 loads of laundry in a newer model of washing machine. For a single-person measurement, each person uses about 80-100 gallons of water each day, according to the federal agency. Those on the higher end of the spectrum, then, would be dishing out $1 every 10 days with the goal of a healthier environment — or just shy of $37 a year. Reaching deeper into taxpayers’ pockets is not ideal, but there is simply no other way to produce sewer funding of the magnitude Suffolk County needs without asking the public to chip in somehow. Bellone’s proposal needs state approval before the measure can go onto ballots in November for voters to weigh in. We hope our neighbors would support the surcharge.

America’s last stand On Election Day, this November, the United States must again choose whether to continue down the road toward liberalism or make a U-turn back to more conservative ideals. In less than eight years, U.S. President Barack Obama has increased our national debt from $9 trillion to approximately $19 trillion. He and most other liberal politicians believe that they can be “all things to all people,” but at what price? Instead of encouraging the populace to be independent, self-reliant and resourceful citizens, they have attempted to create a “nanny-state,” providing cradle-to-grave security. Americans must now ask themselves if they want the United States to become an all-powerful governmental nation, like the ones that their forefathers originally fled from. The political establishments of yesteryear have morphed from parties that provided Americans with reasonable living stan-

dards to now attempting to dictate how we live. Since Sept. 11, 2001, we have seen nearly four full presidential terms expire, with no resolution to very costly world hostilities. These conflicts have lasted four times as long as our involvement in WWII, with no end in sight, and have drained our national resolve and financial reserves. Also, with millions of American citizens out of work, our political hierarchy still continues to feel that this nation can accept millions more of the world’s impoverished people. Like an overloaded lifeboat, threatening the lives of all on board, our nation’s leaders must feel that this country’s population can expand indefinitely, without detriment. From the end of WWII, we have seen our nation’s population go from 145 million to the mind-boggling 320 million persons that it is today, with many millions of these being immigrants,

both legal and illegal. No other country takes in as many, yet our politicians still feel that it is never enough. Americans must ask themselves if they want their country to remain the “shining city on the hill” that U.S. President Ronald Reagan spoke about? Or, do we want it to be engulfed in the political and economic “swamp” that Third World nations and now Europe are experiencing? The United States did not begin its existence in harmony. It had to fight to “be born” and fight to stay alive, for nearly 250 years. Is our nation’s desire to be politically correct worth the possibility of its eventual dissolution? Our next commander-inchief must remember that they were elected to be president of the United States and not of the world and to base their decisions on how they will affect America and its inhabitants, first.

opinion Hair dye from a beetle? Highlights from Earthstock 2016 While representatives from many nations signed the landmark Paris Agreement about greenhouse gas emissions, students, professors and guest lecturers descended on Stony Brook last week to celebrate and discuss ways of protecting the environment as a part of Earthstock. The 15th annual event, which featured activities and a celebration of student research, included a lecture from Charles Wurster, founder of the Environmental Defense Fund, who By Daniel Dunaief offered ways to persuade the public to support saving the environment. Wurster described the beginning of the EDF, which started modestly in Stony Brook with a meeting of nine environmental scientists and

one lawyer to prevent the loss of birds amid the use of the insecticide DDT. Wurster and his colleagues were “sitting around a coffee table figuring out how to take on” a wide range of groups, including the federal government, to get them to stop spraying a pesticide that was weakening the shells of raptor eggs, said Malcolm Bowman, distinguished service professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and academic co-chair of Earthstock. Bowman said one of the reasons he joined Stony Brook in 1971 was because he “could see a revolution taking place.” The university’s continued commitment to the environment was on display all week. The annual celebration included a rubber duck race down a “stony brook,” outdoor yoga at the Staller Center, and a performance by a local band called Peatmoss and the Fertilizers. Jeffrey Barnett, the interim associate dean of students and the administrative co-chair for Earthstock,

said the program helps Stony Brook “connect with the local community by taking actions and educating the next generation. The festival is a way to engage people.” John Warner, co-founder of Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry, provided the keynote speech on Friday. Warner suggested that “if we knew what we were doing, we wouldn’t have all these problems” with toxic chemicals, Bowman said. As an example, Bowman said, Warner described a beetle that sheds its skin. The chemical in that skin has remarkable dying properties and could be used in hair dye. Warner is involved in supporting green asphalt and green chemistry, said Karina Yager, a visiting assistant professor. “Hearing his passion helps reinforce how important it is to stay engaged with this sustainability framework,” Yager said. Earth science and environmental science teacher Rob Gelling, from Kings Park High School, brought 22 students to the festivities on Friday. His students “enjoyed the feed-

back from the general public that came to our table and learned about the ability to recycle,” Geller said. His students highlighted a way to repurpose Keurig K-cups into containers in which they planted seeds. Half of the germination medium came from dried and sifted coffee grinds. Back at the United Nations on Earth Day, the United States joined officials from other countries to sign the Paris agreement. “There is momentum” in fighting climate change, said Yager. “Major changes have to be implemented within the next few decades to reach that goal realistically. Some are skeptical, but at least we’re on the right pathway.” Yager said the week-long activities at Earthstock can contribute to action and awareness in the Stony Brook and Long Island communities. “I remember when Earth Day was just a day,” Yager said. Now Earthstock is a week, which includes opportunities to “meet people who share the same vision and find out new ways to get involved.”

Would you like to know what Ava Gardner had to say about her first husband, Mickey Rooney? Stay tuned. Despite having passed away two years ago, Mickey Rooney walks the stage at the Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Education and Cultural Center in Stony Brook village. That bit of otherworldly magic is thanks to the artistry of St. George Productions, whose acting company members make the famous come alive again. Rooney’s first wife was Ava By Leah S. Dunaief Gardner, and I was interested to read Gardner’s autobiography after a brief stop at her museum in Smithfield, North Carolina recently. We were driving up Route 95, returning from a visit to Hilton Head, when one of our group suggested we see the mu-

seum. It was started near her hometown with seed money left by the actress. Now, I don’t know how many of you remember her or have seen her films, but she was right up there in stardom with the likes of Rita Hayworth, Grace Kelly, Judy Garland and Elizabeth Taylor. Some of her leading men were Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Richard Burton, Robert Taylor, Burt Lancaster — and Mickey. She was a head taller than Mickey Rooney, and she met him on her first day on the MGM studio sets. He was dressed like the famous Brazilian dancer, Carmen Miranda, for his role in the movie, “Babes on Broadway,” with Judy Garland. He was two years older than Gardner and at that time, 1941, he was the most popular star in America. He had acted as Mickey McGuire, the character from the comic strip, Toonerville Trolley for seven years and then as Andy Hardy, the beloved teenager, for ten years after that. Rooney was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in 1939, and was earning $5,000 a week, plus bonuses. He knew how to act

and he also knew what he wanted. He phoned Gardner every night for the first two weeks she was in Hollywood, until he finally got her to go out with him to dinner—as long as she could bring along her older sister. Initially stunned by his shortness, Gardner describes Rooney as “charming, romantic and great fun.” She offered, “I had to say one thing for him: He sure had energy.” “He was the original laugh-aminute boy, and even the second or third time around, his stories, jokes, and gags were funny. There wasn’t a minute when he wasn’t onstage. He loved an audience, and I tried to be as good a one as I knew how.” They were engaged before her 19th birthday. They were both kids without the slightest idea of what marriage should be. Mickey woke up after their wedding night and left Ava to go off with his gang of buddies and play golf. Mickey did endear himself when they visited her ill mother, shortly after they were married. “He entertained Mama, he hugged her, he made her laugh, he brought tears to her eyes. He did his impersonations,

he did his songs and dances—it was a wonderful, wonderful occasion for Mama, who we all knew was slowly dying. Although I had loved Mickey from the start, that show he put on moved me beyond words.” His normal lifestyle, which he continued after their marriage, according to Ava, was “boozing, broads, bookmakers, golfing and hangers-on, not to mention the heavy involvement of studio work and publicity.” She was most appalled by the philandering. They divorced two years later. They stayed friends for the rest of their lives, dating from time to time after their divorce, until they both went on to other spouses. For Mickey, that was a beauty queen that he met in Birmingham, Alabama. He was married a total of eight times. According to Mearene Jordan, Gardner’s helper, who wrote a chapter at the end of the book, “Mickey Rooney was a funny little guy—she got a big kick out of him. She saw him last year and she said, “Reenie, he’s still the biggest liar in the world. Poor Mickey, he cannot tell the truth, he never could. But he’s cute.”
