More mosquitoes, birds test positive for West Nile To date, 80 mosquitos and 7 bird samples test positive By Rohma aBBas

Nine more mosquitos and two birds have tested positive for West Nile virus in various neighborhoods across Suffolk County, Health Commissioner Dr. James L. Tomarken announced on Monday. The mosquito samples, collected from Aug. 11 to 14, hailed from: Huntington, Selden, West Babylon, Bay Shore, Holbrook, Farmingville and Watch Hill on Fire Island. A crow collected on Aug. 14 from Stony Brook and a blue jay collected on Aug. 18 from Smithtown, also tested positive for the virus. To date, this year Suffolk’s total West Nile count comes to 80 mosquitos and seven birds. No humans or horses have tested positive for the virus in Suffolk this year. First detected in birds and mosquito samples in Suffolk in 1999, and again each year thereafter, the virus is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. While Dr. Tomarken said there’s no cause for alarm, the county is urging residents to reduce exposure to the virus, which “can be debilitating to humans.” “The breed of mosquito known as culex pipiens/restuans lay their eggs in fresh water-filled containers, so dumping rainwater that collects in containers around your

house is important,” he said. Residents should try to eliminate stagnant water where mosquitos breed, in order to reduce the mosquito population around homes. That includes: disposing of tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar water-holding containers; removing discarded tires; cleaning clogged gutters; turning over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when they’re not being used; changing the water in bird baths; and draining water from pool covers Most people infected with West Nile will experience mild or no symptoms, but some can develop severe symptoms, including high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. The symptoms may last several weeks and neurological effects may be permanent. Individuals, especially those 50 years of age or older or those with compromised immune systems, who are most at risk, are urged to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Residents are advised to avoid mosquito bites by: minimizing outdoor activities between dusk and dawn; wearing shoes and socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirts when outdoors for long periods of time or when mosquitos are more active; using

mosquito repellent when outdoors, following label directions carefully; and making sure all windows and doors have screens and that all screens are in good condition. To report dead birds, call the West Nile virus hotline in Suffolk County at 631787-2200 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Residents are encouraged

to take a photograph of any bird in question. To report mosquito problems or stagnant pools of water, call the Department of Public Works’ Vector Control Division at 631-852-4270. For medical questions related to West Nile virus, call 631-854-0333.

Book of kindness pays tribute to North Shore girls By Phil Corso

Four hundred acts of kindness turned out to be an underestimate. It has been one month since a horrific Cutchogue car crash killed four North Shore women, and Chabad at Stony Brook set out to assemble a book of kind acts to show how good could come out of tragedy. But by the time that book was finished last week, it had grown into a much bigger list. Smithtown’s Brittney Schulman, 23, and Lauren Baruch, 24, as well as Stephanie Belli, 23, of Kings Park, and Amy Grabina, 23, of Commack were riding in a limousine in the middle of a weekend wine tour on the eastern part of the Island when Steven Romeo, 55, T-boned their vehicle as it made a risky U-turn, killing the girls and injuring five others. After the crash, Romeo was arraigned at Eastern Long Island Hospital and charged with driving while intoxicated. He was initially ordered held in lieu of $500,000 cash bail, or $1 million bond, but that bail was reduced to $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond. Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota said Romeo had recorded a blood alcohol content of .066 percent — below the legal limit of .08 — when he was tested roughly one hour after the

crash. The DWI charge, however, was not dropped, Spota said. No additional charges were filed against Romeo as the investigation continued. Romeo’s court date, which was originally set for last week, was adjourned to Sept. 18. The tragedy sent shock waves through the greater North Shore community, and Chabad at Stony Brook called on everyone to help. “People came out in big numbers to post all these heartfelt things they were going to do,” said Rabbi Shalom Ber Cohen, who helped launch the project in the wake of the tragic crash. “We’ve always encouraged to respond to darkness with light, and to evil with good.” The group launched a Facebook group called “Goodness & Kindness X 400 For Our Girls,” and acquired thousands of page views in a matter of days, Cohen said. The goal, he said, was to remember the lives of those lost by compiling a book of names and acts of goodness committed in their honor, to show victims’ families that they were not alone in their darkest hour. “We felt we were swarming in death,” Cohen said. “This was an act of goodness and kindness to bring more goodness to the world. While we can’t bring the girls back, when the community

Stony Brook hospital births 100,000th baby By Giselle Barkley

It’s a boy. It’s also a major milestone. Katie Picarella of Rocky Point was wheeled into the room with her new bundle of joy and her husband Mike and daughter Gianna, 5, to celebrate the birth of Stony Brook University Hospital’s 100,000th baby, Luca Michael Picarella, on Thursday, Aug. 20. And by the time she was wheeled out, she had much more than a new member to her family. The hospital presented blue cupcakes surrounding several pink cupcakes that spelled “100K,” in the hospital’s lobby in celebration of the event. Todd Griffin, chair of the department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive medicine, said he expected Katie Picarella to give birth near the end of August, and he was right. Attending OB/GYN and former Stony Brook student Julie Welischar delivered Luca the morning of Monday, Aug. 17. Until a week ago the Picarella family was unaware of the news that Stony Brook was expecting its 100,000th birth. “A friend of ours told us [that they] had been following this,” Mike Picarella said. “I started looking at it and [the friend] said, ‘you guys are getting close. It’d be funny if you guys are the couple.’” But the expectant father said he was still surprised when the doctors informed him that his newborn son was the 100,000th baby. The family didn’t just leave with their new baby boy. They also left with a gift basket that awarded the Picarella family a $10,000 scholarship from the Island

Federal Credit Union, a $2,500 scholarship toward tuition at the North Shore Montessori School, a $500 shopping spree among other gifts for the parents and their newborn. Luca’s older sister Gianna, who was also delivered at Stony Brook, was also awarded a brand new American Girl doll. “Truly from the bottom of our hearts and all of our family’s hearts, we greatly appreciate it,” Mike Picarella said. The entire Picarella family said they were thankful for the gifts and shocked by the news that they were the couple who birthed the 100,000th baby. “Stuff like this doesn’t happen to us,” Katie Picarella said when speaking to the media. According to her, the birth was scheduled for Friday after doctors realized the baby would come before the end of August. But Picarella rescheduled the C-section delivery date because she wanted to have enough time to recover in order to attend her daughter’s kindergarten screening. The family of four also had the opportunity of meeting Jeff Solomon, who was the first baby born at Stony Brook University Hospital on May 28, 1980, at 8:15 a.m. Jeff Solomon’s father Bob Solomon and step-mother Hope also attended the conference and met the family. Before the family prepared to go home, Griffin highlighted the importance of the birth. “For years the number of births on Long Island have been going down,” Griffin said. “We’re actually starting to see in the last year or two that the births have been going up.”

Police stop camera man Suspect allegedly turned up county’s red light cams by elana Glowatz

Police arrested a Centereach man on Tuesday afternoon who they say used a pole to turn red light cameras away from the road and potential violators. According to the Suffolk County Police Department, the suspect used an expandable pole to tamper with the cameras, pushing the lenses toward the sky. Officers from SCPD’s 6th Precinct Crime Section received anonymous tips regarding a video post on social media that allegedly shows 42-year-old Stephen Ruth tampering with several of the cameras in Ronkonkoma, including one on Ocean Avenue at the Long Island Expressway’s south service road, on both Aug. 21 and Aug. 24. Shortly before being arrested on Tuesday afternoon, he also allegedly tampered with two other cameras on that same service road, at the intersection with Hawkins Avenue. After an investigation, officers arrested Ruth at his home on Stewart Circle. He was charged with four counts of third-degree criminal tampering and four counts of second-degree obstruction of governmental administration. Attorney information for Ruth was not immediately available on Wednesday. The red light cameras, which are maintained by Baltimore-based Affiliated Computer Services Inc., take photographs at busy intersections throughout Suffolk County, recording license plates of vehicles whose drivers run through a red light or do not come to a complete stop before making a right turn on a red signal. The company reviews the photos snapped — and gets final approval from the county — and for each confirmed violation, the registered owner of the vehicle receives a $50 traffic citation.

She was also found in possession of heroin. King of barcodes On Aug. 21, a 63-year-old man was arrested at the King Kullen in Independence Plaza in Selden for manipulating a barcode scanner machine. Police said the man previously committed the same act at two other locations.

Unlike other moving violations, red light camera violations do not add points to a driver’s license, as the cameras only record rear license plates and cannot confirm the driver of a violating vehicle.

Fishing still feasible in late summer months AngeLo PeLuSo

What connection does the Latin phrase dies caniculares have with summer fishing on the North Shore of Long Island? Literally translated the idiom means dog days. The Romans linked hot summer weather to Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major, or large dog. Contemporary humans link “canicule” to dogs sleeping in the shade on hot days, beach and pool time, barbecues and a period of stagnation in the fishing season, but the dog days of July actually bring some great fishing throughout the Long Island Sound and

the North Shore of Long Island. Anglers may lament during mid to late summer that they can’t wait for the fall run to begin in the Long Island Sound, but while those anglers are looking to the future for quality fishing, others are cashing in on the summer bounty that the North Shore of Long Island provides. If you give up on fishing in the Sound when the mercury rises, you may miss out on some of the largest bass and bluefish, which has said to have been caught in July and can continue to hang around into the late summer months. I once even enjoyed a very special fly and light tackle surprise: an advance guard of early At-

lantic bonito. And the best part was that I had that fabulous fishing all to myself for almost a week. There can be a lot of fishing variety to appeal to even the most ardent anglers. July entertained, and August continues to host open seasons for fluke, striped bass, bluefish, sea bass, scup and the occasional weakfish. There was a time when sizeable tiderunner weaks could be found mixed in with hordes of July bluefish and bass. While the extreme western areas of the North Shore of Long Island that heated up first in the spring may experience somewhat of a daytime slowdown in fishing activity, changing tactics to early morning and evening tides can prove to be the key to unlocking the secrets of summer bass fishing. As one moves farther east along the North Shore toward the central and eastern regions of the Sound, you will begin to encounter some unique hydrodynamics that are favorable for supporting good fishing throughout the summer months. Deeper, cooler water combined with a solid dispersing of oxygen throughout the water works to keep these central and eastern areas of the Sound suitable for sustaining baitfish and game fish. As a matter of fact, some of the areas within this part of the Sound are so oxygen-rich that clams are transplanted from lower water quality areas farther west so that the filter feeding bivalves can cleanse themselves before being shipped off to market.

So far, the 2015 season has shaped up as a decent one. Striped bass settled in late, but have maintained an extended presence in the Sound. While the peak of early season fishing has passed, and August will continue to see summer feeding and behavioral patterns emerge in full swing. Daytime fishing will have its share of rewarding surprises as will the magical times around dawn and dusk. If your bass fishing is being done from a boat, make sure to spend some time prowling the deeper water off rock promontories, the drop-offs around shoals and around the depths of the offshore lobster pots. Most all the areas around the navigation buoys from Eatons Neck out to Rocky Point will hold fish during periods of the tide cycles, as will most areas in between. Light tackle jigging and bucktailing these areas will yield fine results.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Still Too Fat to Fight

We didn’t make up that headline. That is the name of an actual recent military study, the second of its kind, that found at least 9 million American youths are too overweight to serve in the armed forces. That’s about a quarter of our young people between ages 17 and 24, according to population statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. Being overweight or obese is the top medical reason preventing young people from enlisting, according to the military study. One retired Army general called childhood obesity “a potential threat to our national security” in the future. In case anyone was unsure of whether we have a weight or obesity problem in this country, that fact should really hammer it home. The military study gives a snapshot of what is occurring throughout our entire nation. The problem is parents. Some may feel outrage to see this blunt statement in ink, but the fact is that parents are responsible for teaching their kids, partly by example and partly by directive, how to eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle that includes physical activity. It’s true there is a degree of health and nutrition education in schools and, of course, schools should strive to offer healthy food in their breakfast and lunch programs. However, school districts should only be supplementing what parents are supposed to do in their own homes. An obvious reason for this is that children spend a tremendous amount of time with their parents and learn the most from them and their examples throughout their lives. And it is up to parents to raise their children and show them how to make good decisions, not the public school system. Of course there are medical conditions that cause weight gain, such as hypothyroidism and Cushing’s syndrome, and complicate matters. But those conditions — both of which are much more prevalent in females than males, who are the primary target for military recruitment — certainly do not account for anywhere near all of the overweight young people. In fact, both conditions are more likely to affect older people than children and young adults. Some may argue that it’s hard to teach kids about proper nutrition when they are bombarded by fast food ads, or when the parents are busy working to support the family. But we’re not saying parenting is easy — we’re saying it’s a parent’s job. Teaching kids how to eat healthy and exercise is important and many parents need to step up their game, or it’s not just our military recruitment numbers that will suffer.

The early August storm leaves the East Setauket Capital One bank without its front signage.

Ground the lines TO THE EDITOR: Your editorial in the Aug. 6 edition, “A rude awakening,” was on point regarding the need to take action to prepare for severe storms such as the one that struck the North Shore communities of Brookhaven on Aug. 4. With every major storm that topples power lines, our power companies respond by rebuilding an antiquated method of power delivery. Instead, they should invest in burying overhead lines to prevent days-long power outages in the future. Brookhaven has taken the lead in changing this broken model. Since 1969, we have required that any new subdivision with new roadways bury utility lines to protect them during such storms. Unfortunately, the same cannot

Debate recap TO THE EDITOR: Following the first Republican debate on Fake, excuse me, Fox News, I want to commend the GOP on how easily they have made a mockery of our election process. Is it any wonder that our standing in the world has taken such a hit — I know it’s all President Obama’s fault — with the parade of buffoons that were on display? As a staunch Democrat I am mortified by what Republicans are trying to pass off as serious

be said for our utility companies. An independent study commissioned by the Long Island Power Authority in 2005 estimated that burying overhead wires could cost up to $30 billion. Since then, Long Island has experienced nearly a dozen significant storms — including Superstorm Sandy — that have resulted in significant power outages. In every instance, billions of dollars of ratepayer funds were used to replace overhead wires instead of investing in burying power lines. Keep in mind that none of these storms rose above the level of a Category 1 hurricane. Should we experience a storm at the level of the infamous “Long Island Express” hurricane of 1938 — a Category 3 — the damage would be exponentially greater. Brookhaven is committed to making sure that our residents are

prepared for these storms, now and in the future. We continue to require underground utilities in new subdivisions, and our Highway Department has an aggressive tree maintenance program. If you have a tree in the right of way of your front yard that needs maintenance, call 451-TOWN. Lastly, I would like to recognize the efforts of Brookhaven employees from the Highway, Parks and Waste Management departments, who worked tirelessly to clear the roads after this most recent storm, and the men and women in the field who worked around the clock to restore our power and utility service.

presidential campaigns. The Biblethumping misogyny, which took center stage, certainly masked the truly important issues that should have been discussed, such as income inequality, climate change and racial injustice, just to name a few. Sadly I waxed nostalgic for the days when Sarah could see Russia from her house but couldn’t name a single landmark Supreme Court decision. Luckily Mike Huckabee brought up the GOP’s favorite landmark talking point, Roe v. Wade, but not without equating

the court with the “Supreme Being” the candidates claim talks to them on a regular basis. What has happened to the days when the race for President of the United States of America was one of respect and actual qualifications for the job? When did experience, knowledge and integrity take a back seat to bluster, acrimony and lunacy? This is going to be a long 15 months.

Jimmy Carter and Wallace Hartley: masters of the swan song

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

ormer President Jimmy Carter’s announcement last week that he had four spots of cancer on his brain made me think of Wallace Hartley. Engaged to Maria Robinson, Hartley spent a week with his fiancée in Yorkshire, England before he brought his violin to lead the orchestra on the maiden voyage of the Titanic in 1912. The 33-year-old violinist

played music as the enormous ship floundered and disappeared with more than 1,500 other people into the frozen waters of the Atlantic Ocean. After Hartley’s body was recovered, 40,000 people reportedly lined the route of his procession, while more than 1,000 people attended his funeral. What is it about Hartley that captured the imagination of the people in England? Is it that he offered something resembling normalcy and decency in the face of certain death? Is it that he didn’t panic, dive overboard or do whatever he could to save himself? Maybe. Or perhaps it’s that his swan song was so beautiful that it might have offered something remarkable, memorable and peaceful that night to two groups of people: those safely at a distance in lifeboats and the ones confronting the final moments of their mortality. Last week, Carter, who is 90 years old, offered a picture of

calm as he grinned, answered questions and remained positive throughout a public discussion of his health. I’ve often heard people imagine what it is that makes humans different from other animals. At one point, a discussion centered around our use of tools. Chimpanzees, however, remove leaves and branches, jamming sticks — or in this case their own version of tools — into a termite mound and eating the insects attached to those branches. Maybe we’re different, some have argued, because we use language. Given the extensive sounds of songbirds on Long Island, the range of noises dogs make when we return home after our bosses bark incessantly at us, or the calls of whales over hundreds of miles of ocean to each other, it’s hard to believe we hold an exclusive on language. Among other things, maybe we’re different because we can see through time. We can imagine the Big Bang 13.7 billion

years ago, we can picture the age of the dinosaurs and we can work toward a 5-, 10- or even 20-year plan in our lives. We can also salute the life of someone we knew. Long ago, when my son was 4, we passed a chipmunk roadkill. He asked whether the members of that chipmunk’s family missed him. Despite the familiarity of routine in our lives, we recognize the uncertainty of each day, whether we have the good fortune to live as long as Carter or the misfortune to see a sudden end, the way Hartley did. In those final moments, if we get them, we might have an opportunity to offer a memorable swan song, tipping our caps to others who are still here, grinning the way Carter did, at a life well lived, at friends, at family and at memories that will outlive us. More than 100 years later, Hartley’s name is immortalized at his grave and through

Despite the familiarity of routine in our lives, we recognize the uncertainty of each day. the Internet, a tool for communicating developed long after he played his last note and offered what legend has it were among his final words: “Gentlemen, I bid you farewell.” Carter has no idea how many notes he still has left to play with his diplomacy and his efforts to construct homes. In this press conference, however, he shared a broad smile and a reassuring tone, ready perhaps for the moment — whenever it comes — to bid us all a peaceful farewell.

A family baseball tour in a league of its own

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

“Take me out to the ballpark” was the theme for all of last week, as I took my youngest grandchild on what has become a family tradition. Traditions can be great fun, and this one started when my first grandchild was 11 years old, which is to say about nine years ago. I signed us up then for the Elderhostel intergenerational touring program. Elderhostel, a not-for-profit tour company with an educational bent, that has since

changed its name to Road Scholar, began offering specialized programs of usually one week’s duration for a grandparent accompanied by a grandchild in addition to their many other tours. That sounded like a good way to get to know my grandchild without his parents and sibling present, even as we might both learn something new, and we attended the NASA offering in Houston. The experience was totally satisfying and the stage was set for the remaining grandchildren, hence the trip last week. Now to go on this particular tour, called Baseball: From Little League to the Hall of Fame With Your Grandchild, it helps if you like baseball — a lot — which I do, because it’s pretty much total immersion. We drove to Lock Haven University, the program provider, which is located in rural western Pennsylvania. That was the starting point, and when we arrived we discovered that there were eight boys and 10 grandparents enrolled in the program. The asymmetry was due to the fact

that both grandparents accompanied a couple of the children. The families came from a broad geographic cross section of the country: California, Wisconsin, Vermont, North Carolina and Florida were represented, as well as another Long Island family from Port Jefferson. The grandchildren started with a rigorous baseball clinic led by the Lock Haven baseball coach, and over the ensuing days the grandparents and grandchildren came to enjoy each other. Although the ages of the children ranged from 10 to 14, and their heights were dramatically different, the coach was readily able to integrate them into a display of fielding, throwing and hitting. The kids proved to be already accomplished, and the grandparents — who were lined up on benches in the shade of the dugout like birds on a wire — had much to cheer. As you would imagine, we saw a number of baseball games, from major league play to the minors, to Little League. We were given an insider tour of the

new and beautiful Phillies ballpark, then watched as the home team beat the Toronto Blue Jays, a particularly sweet victory for those of us who root for the Yankees since they are in a tight division race with the Toronto team. The Blue Jays loss narrowly kept the Yankees in first place. We also watched the Reading Fightin Phils, a farm team of the Phillies organization, play the Auburn Doubledays in Reading, Pa.; and, on another night, the Williamsport Crosscutters take on the Auburn team. We even got as far north as Cooperstown, where we spent an afternoon in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. We did all this traveling by bus, leaving our cars behind in Lock Haven. The hours in the bus were made more palatable by the beauty of the countryside, largely undeveloped long stretches of lush, green forests alternating with occasional farms, silos and corrals. There were also several movies shown on the bus — with baseball as their unifying theme, of course. I must say, they were good ones, including

“A League of Their Own” and the Kevin Costner award-winner, “Field of Dreams.” The tour ended at the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa., with grandparents watching play from perches on the steep hills or seated in the shaded partial stadium; and grandchildren sliding down the hills on flattened cardboard boxes in between innings. That evening, Johnny Wilson Sr., a former Negro League baseball player and also member of the Harlem Globetrotters, spoke to us about his experiences in professional sports. At age 88 he has seen profound changes in sports throughout his career. A trim and elegant man, he dispassionately shared some of the prejudices in his early years that blocked his advancement and undoubtedly broke his heart along the way. But his stories, like our baseball tour, had a happy end.
