Why Councilman Wehrheim thinks he can run S’town better

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Smithtown Councilman Ed Wehrheim (R) is leading the charge in an effort to shake up the town’s current government leaders.

The councilman has served since April 2003, when Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R) appointed him to fill the seat left by nowNYS Assemblyman Mike Fitzpatrick (R-St. James.) In November, he’ll try to unseat the man who appointed him.

Wehrheim said he believes the town board needs some major changes.

Last month at the Smithtown Republican Convention, a surprise shocked many members when chairman Bill Ellis led the way for three new challengers — including Wehrheim — to get support from the party instead of Vecchio, and councilpeople Lynne Nowick (R) and Tom McCarthy (R.) Wehrheim said the existing town board has a lack of transparency between members, which he would no longer tolerate if he were at the helm.

“If you leave board members out of discussions, the plans are doomed for failure,” Wehrheim said in a phone interview. “In my administration that wouldn’t happen.

Teamwork is what gets it done.”

Of course, Wehrheim faces an uphill battle, as he’s running against a man who just recently had town hall named after him and

But Wehrheim said he is the candidate with the most government experience, serving since 1971 as director of parks, buildings and grounds. Within his tenure there, he managed an $8 million budget and worked with the

other departments in Smithtown frequently.

“I thoroughly enjoyed helping people,” he said. “I gained a vast amount of experience in how the other government departments operate, and I put that knowledge to work when I joined the town board.”

During his four terms on the board, Wehrheim said he’s proud of the many projects he accomplished, including business development for the villages and hamlets.

The councilman worked to renovate the Smith Haven Mall, negotiated deals to develop stores on Crooked Hill Road in Commack, helped Whisper Vineyards set up shop in Smithtown and more to help increase tax revenues for the town.

“I have a good track record of making empty properties into something valuable and profitable for Smithtown,” he said.

With his parks background, Wehrheim said he has also worked hard to keep the beaches, parks and baseball fields of Smithtown up to par.

One major plan Wehrheim and his running mates, councilman candidates Bob Doyle and Tom Lohmann, hope to implement if elected is a business advisory council.

“We would bring members from the chambers, civic groups and local development businesses to the table when we want to make new development plans,” he said.

The plan would foster distinctive and attractive communities with a strong sense of place, according to Wehrheim.

Ellis is an advocate for Wehrheim and said he has a lot of support within the Smithtown Republican Committee.

“He is the best man for the position,” he said in a phone interview.

town A modern day renaissance for two Smithtown record shops

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com

Clockwise from top left, Tim Clair, owner of Record Reserve in Kings Park; Stu and Josh goldberg of Mr. Cheapo in Commack; a customer browses through the many records at Mr. Cheapo. and 45s, on shelves and in crates. Ceilinghigh shelves are also filled to the brim with DVDs, a varied collection of dramas and horror films and concert documentaries.

Customers of every shape, size, nationality, and gender gaze longingly at the fronts and backs of albums, studying them as if there will be a test on their content later.

“There’s a percentage of people that just like tangible things, they like to touch it, they want to read the liner notes, they want a real CD or record,” Goldberg said.

“If they’re only listening to Spotify or Sirius radio, sometimes those just don’t have what they want.”

Steven McClure, from Nesconset, sifted through some Kinks vinyl and said he’s been a loyal customer for 16 years.

“I think it’s kind of exciting to come in and find something that you’d forgotten about a long time ago,” McClure said. “I may come in here to look for Dire Straits and I’ll end up seeing something else, look

at this one and that one, it’s kind of crazy — I can spend hours here. And, for me, I have to have the artwork, artwork is the most important thing apart from the record.”

When asked why his is one of the last stores of its kind, Goldberg held up his hands and explained.

“We got it all … we sell everything from Dean Martin to Metallica and anything in between,” he said. “10 years ago, I remember feeling that things were fading, the digital age was coming and we just thought we were done. Then people started thinking vinyl was a fun thing to collect, so we’re back and I don’t see it going away for a while.”

According to Nielsen’s 2016 U.S. YearEnd Report, vinyl LP sales grew to more than 11 percent of total physical album sales last year.

“This marks 11 years of year-over-year increases for vinyl LPs, reaching a record sales level in the Nielsen Music era (since 1991) with over 13 million sales this year,” the report said.

“I’m very happy we have this and we seem to continue to do pretty good … I

don’t think records and CDs will ever die,” Goldberg’s son, an avid record collector himself said. “We also sell video games and patches and T-shirts, and that gives us a bit more of an edge than the typical, new Brooklyn record store, where they’re just selling overpriced vinyls.”

Goldberg said every customer who walks through the doors is different.

“Our customers range from 12 to 80, you’d be amazed by what people buy … there have been old guys in their 70s buying heavy metal and young kids buying Frank Sinatra,” he said.

Pointing out a mother and young daughter buying records at the counter, he said he’s seen a new trend grow in recent years.

“That’s something new in the past three or four years, mothers buying girls record players and girls coming in to buy vinyl,” he said. “I’d never seen that before like I do now.

16-year-old girls buying Zeppelin, it’s so cool.”

Stu Goldberg’s lawyer told him he was never going to make it in the midst of opening up his own record shop, Mr. Cheapo — a nickname his wife, Marcia, lovingly bestowed upon him— in Flushing, Queens.

His pursuit of a high school dream hinged on $4,000 he’d saved delivering candy to supermarkets and a lifelong love affair with music, which had turned Goldberg into a regular at garage sales and flea markets, where he bought up piles and piles of records of every genre under the sun. A self-professed “child of the 60s,” he went to Woodstock with then-girlfriend Marcia.

But nearly four decades, and two Long Island locations after taking the plunge into uncharted waters of record shop owning, Goldberg, 68, has not only made it — he’s conquered it.

Mr. Cheapo, a beloved new and used CD and record exchange business chain and haven for music enthusiasts young and old has outlived giant competitors like Virgin Megastore and Tower Records as well as a crop of local independents and stands strong in the age of Spotify and iTunes.

“I just followed my dream — I always say, part of our success is that I wasn’t smart enough to know this wasn’t a good idea,” Goldberg said as he laughed, surrounded by a library of vinyl LPs, CDs, and cassettes at Mr. Cheapo in the Mayfair Shopping Center in Commack, a town he’s worked and lived in since 1988. He set up shop there soon after closing the original Queens store for good and building a loyal customer base at his other location in Mineola.

His son, Josh, 36, who’s been working at the store since he was 13, helps him run the business now, bouncing between both locations.

The shop feels like a vibrant museum of music, perhaps a fascinating new world for younger visitors but extremely familiar territory for older visitors, with an array of album art and posters of rock icons lining the wooden walls.

There are tens of thousands of new, used, and imported records, CDs, cassettes,

record shops Continued from page A5 shop that’s serious about vinyl, the only format on the shelves.

“It’s just the best form of music,” Tim Clair, the store’s owner and sole staff member said.

Clair, 52, opened the doors in 2011 when vinyl was starting to have a resurgence.

“I like giving some people a place to go to do what they enjoy and I like to bring that back to people who miss it,” he said. “People come in and look through thousands of records … you’re going to find something here.”

Shelves are decorated with records of every generation and style of music imaginable, from Miles Davis to Joe Walsh to Linda Ronstadt to obscure R&B and punk artists.

Whatever there’s a market for, Clair makes sure to order it and make it available for customers.

The store is also equipped with a Spin-Clean record washer to restore and clean old records, which Clair uses

to eliminate mold and dirt that might cause skips when listening to vinyl.

While he said Record Reserve sells enough to stay alive, Clair noted the record shop industry isn’t easy.

“It’s a labor of love,” Clair said. “We’re still not making money, it’s not easy at all … but I’m not going to retire. It’s something I enjoy.”

He said when he started he considered himself knowledgeable about music, but has been continually “trumped by customers.”

Roger Wilbur, 57, from Smithtown, has been a regular for about two years.

“Tim knows what I like so he’ll tell me what to stay away from, what’s good, what’s rare, and lets me play music here if I want and not a lot of places let you do that,” Wilbur said.

The customer has been trying to build back his lost record collection from the 70s.

“I got the vinyl bug,” he said. “It’s something that you can put in your hand, it doesn’t have to come off a computer. I look at this place as a time capsule, it brings me back to the 60s, 70s and 80s.”

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) made his way to the dugout to play in the congressional bipartisan baseball game last Thursday, June 15. The game came one day after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) was shot by a gunman, along with four others, during a practice just outside of Washington D.C. Suozzi said the experience was very unique.

“To be one of only 20 players, and a freshman, on the Democrats congressional baseball team was an awesome experience,” he said in a statement. “After the shootings last Wednesday, the game took on a more important meaning, and the experience was truly humbling. Since day one I have talked about bipartisan cooperation and civility. It’s a shame it took a tragedy, but now it’s a part of the national conversation.”

Suozzi said he and his teammates first learned of the shootings at the Republican practice in Arlington, Virginia, around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning while the Democrats were practicing at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. “After the initial shock, confirmation of the events and being instructed by police to shelter in place at the dugout, the entire Democratic team circled together and prayed for our Republican colleagues and the other victims,” he said.

Before Thursday night’s game, both teams kneeled at second base at Nationals Park, where Scalise was supposed to have played, in a show of bipartisan unity. Democrats and Republicans prayed for the victims and their families as well as to come together as one united Congress.

The game raised a record $1.5 million for charity and was attended by nearly 25,000 fans. This was the 80th game of a tradition dating back to 1909. Capitol Police officer David Bailey, who was injured in the attack, threw out the first pitch.

Suozzi said the show of unity was very important.

“I sincerely hope we use this unique opportunity to show the American people that we’re here to try and get things done — together as Americans,” he said.

Suozzi had a hard-hit line drive to the shortstop and a ground ball to the third baseman, leaving him 0 for 2.

“It was still a fantastic experience and I hope I get to play again next year,” he said.

The Democrats won the game 11-2, and following their victory gave this year’s trophy to the Republicans to place in Scalise’s office until he recovers.

“I will continue to pray for Steve, the injured officers and other victims, and for our country,” Suozzi said. “We have important work to do. The people are sick of politics and politicians, and we need to work together on these life and death issues and actually get things done — together.”

Clockwise from above, St. George’s Golf and Country Club’s course today; golfers playing at the 10th hole in 1917; the original clubhouse that was designed by Lawrence Butler in 1930; and a woman golfer playing in a skirt before it was acceptable for women to wear pants, circa 1926.

Setauket golf course has roots in Smithtown’s history

By Rita J. EGan Rita@tBRnEwSPaPERS.Com As golfers compete in the finals of the Long Island Golf Association’s Amateur Championship at St. George’s Golf and Country Club June 23, history will be made — as the day marks the club’s 100th anniversary.

St. George’s, located on Lower Sheep Pasture Road in Setauket, began as a dream of renowned golf course architect Devereux Emmett, who lived in Head of the Harbor with his wife Ella Batavia Smith. Ella was a descendent of Smithtown founder Richard Smythe and the niece of Alexander Turney Stewart, owner of the largest department store in the country in the 1800s and developer of Garden City. After Stewart’s death, Ella inherited a great sum of money, which allowed the young Smiths to buy an old family estate called Sherrewogue.

John Ammerman, a former club president and head of the club’s centennial committee, said if the couple didn’t move from Cooperstown in upstate New York to Long Island, St. George’s might not exist. “[Emmet] got a bunch of his friends together, very wealthy people in New York City, who also had houses out here,” Am-

merman said. “I think he looked at five different pieces of property from Port Jefferson to Smithtown and picked this piece of property — the old Williamson farm — built the golf course and the rest is history.”

Emmett, who designed more than 150 courses in his lifetime including the original Garden City Country Club, which opened in 1899, wanted to design a linksfree golf course for his family members and friends. While the club officially opened June 23, 1917, plans began in 1915 when Emmett met with 10 wealthy friends in New York City to discuss his plan.

The architect discovered the property three miles from his estate and didn’t charge a fee to design the golf course. He would go on to be the green chairman for the first 10 years and club champion three times.

The founders of the club read like a to transfer it to St. George’s.

The Lake House already pay half of it, if everyone else would chip in had a liquor license and Childs was able to cover the other half,” Ammerman said.

‘It hasn’t changed much at all, which is unusual for golf courses.’

The chair of the centennial committee said Gil Hanse, who designed the 2016 Olympic course in Rio, restored St. George’s in 2008.

“The restoration was fairly uncomplicated compared to what it could have been,” he said.

Ammerman said one or two tee boxes were changed, the 11th green was moved and small scrub trees were removed to open up the course.

“It hasn’t changed much at all, which is unusual for golf courses,” Ammerman said.

“To some extent it was because no one did anything, they just played golf, and they didn’t have grand ideas to change anything, which is great.”

While the golf course has remained well-preserved, the current clubhouse isn’t the original, as through the century St. George’s has lost two of their clubhouses due to fires — the original in 1953 and the second in 1969.

Listed as one of Golf Week’s Top 100 Best Classic Courses six years in a row, St. George’s will celebrate their centennial throughout the year. On July 29 their gala will feature a Great Gatsby theme, and The Society of Hickory Golfers will play at St. George’s using traditional hickory clubs Sept. 22 to 24.

Farmers market

Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset), Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) and members of the St. James community met at Saint James Lutheran Church to welcome the opening of the St. James Farmer’s Market.

Open through summer and autumn, the St. James Farmer’s Market allows locals to browse and purchase locally-grown produce from the people personally invested in growing them at an affordable cost. The event opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the church. The opening day featured more than simply market stalls; attendees listened to music provided by local musicians, poetry readings by local authors and craft making.

“With all the conveniences supermar-

kets give us today, it is too easy for us to forget that much of the produce we eat can and is grown right here on Long Island,” Kennedy said. “Farmers markets like these help remind us that the food we eat and the people who grow it are right next door.”

The St. James Farmers Market will be open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the St. James Lutheran Church on 230 2nd Avenue, and will be open until Oct. 28. If you are interested in being a vendor, an application can be found on www.ligreenmarket.org/stjames.

The not-for-profit Ballet Education and Scholarship Fund, Inc. recently announced the top winners of its annual scholarship competition held June 4 in conjunction with the BESFI Intensive Summer Workshop.

The competition was judged by a panel of five distinguished adjudicators who awarded 16 scholarships totaling $5,000.

Senior Division winners were by rank: tied for 1st with identical scores were Diana Atoian of Holbrook and Brianna Jimenez of East Setauket who were awarded $600.00 each with 3rd place going to Ava Aubé of Hampton Bays with an award of $425.00. Junior Division winners were led by Lara Caraiani of St. James with an award of $600.00 followed by Madison Valenta of Port Jefferson in 2nd place, who garnered $500.00 and 3rd place was captured by Alana Samara of Port Jefferson who received a $325.00 scholarship.

According to BESFI President Dimitri Papadakos, “this year’s competition was difficult to judge due to the overall quality of the competitors. Both divisions were well-represented resulting in across-theboard scholarship recipients.”

Celebrating its 38th anniversary, the BESFI Intensive Summer Workshop is a nationally recognized six week ballet program held annually during the last three weeks of July and three weeks in August. Daily class-

Eagle scouts

Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) attended the Eagle Scout Court of Honor at St. James Lutheran Church in St. James June 3 to recognize Boy Scout Troop 888’s five new Eagle Scouts. They are Alexander Felice, Alex Caporale, Gunnar Johansson,

Kevin Carlson and Nick Sanders.

“This is a tremendous honor to be bestowed on these young men, and it is an award that they will have for the rest of their lives. They have made their families, scout leaders, fellow scouts, and the entire county very proud,” Trotta said.

Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) enjoyed Smithtown Day on Main Street with the various vendors and activities, as the rain held off most of the day. It was eventful with many residents visiting the legislator’s table to meet her and take home pamphlets on Suffolk County issues.

Despite the street full of happenings, many also took the time to visit the blood drive hosted by Kennedy. New York Blood Center provided an on site blood bus with phlebotomists, to collect blood from donors in order to help our local hospitals.

Every day the New York Blood Center collects up to 2,000 units of lifesaving blood for over 200 hospitals in New York, New Jersey, and parts of Connecticut and Penn-

sylvania. All those who kindly donated were thanked with two tickets to attend a New York Mets baseball game at Citi Field.

“I am willing to do what I can in order to satisfy this crucial need, as blood is used in hospitals every day to save lives,” she said.

“Today’s blood drive benefitted those that suffer from Cooley’s Anemia and I am glad to witness such warmhearted people who took the time to get screened and donate.

I want to give a big thank you to all those who made this blood drive a success, especially the Suffolk County Police Explorers Post 410 for helping with the operation.”

SportS Jesse Berardi, more Suffolk talent taken in MLB draft

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Jesse Berardi’s name was called during the Major League Baseball amateur draft for the second time Tuesday night. This time, it was much earlier than the first.

Berardi, a junior from St. John’s Univeristy and a Commack High School graduate, was selected by the Indians in the 10th round with the 312th overall pick. Three years ago, the shortstop was taken out of high school in the 40th round by the Phillies.

The 5-foot, 10-inch, 185-pounder walked more times than he struck out during his college career (76-72). His MLB.com scouting report touts his “strong hit tool” and “advanced approach” at the plate and says “he has some extra-base power.”

He was drafted initially after a decorated high school career in which he earned the Yastrzemski Award as Suffolk’s best player.

He appeared in 43 games for the Red Storm as a freshman and started 16 of them.

Although he hit only .200, his ability to draw walks was there from the start, as he posted a .321 on-base percentage.

As a sophomore, the hits began to come, as he batted .298 in 54 games. He also maintained his high walk rate and added some power, producing a .394 on-base percentage

Commack’s Jessse Berardi, who went on to play for st. John’s University, was selected in the 10th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball amateur Draft. and .455 slugging percentage.

In his junior year, he was fourth in the Big East in average and was tied for third in RBIs (47) and runs (45). He also helped the Red Storm earn a spot in the Clemson Regional.

Another Yastrzemski winner, ShorehamWading River’s Brian Morrell, was also taken in the MLB draft. The right-handed pitcher helped lead his team to a Suffolk County title to close out May, he performed in the Blue Chip Grand Slam Challenge, leading Suffolk County to that win, too. He became the second player ever to receive the award twice in the distinction’s 50-year history. The honor is awarded to the top player in Suffolk County, which Morrell also became just the fourth junior to receive.

To top it off, now he’s also a Major League Baseball draftee.

The small-town star was taken by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 35th round, with the 1,043rd pick, just after 5 p.m. June 14.

Morrell batted .500 with seven home runs and 39 RBIs this season, and had a 10-1 pitching record with 93 strikeouts in 67 1-3 innings. The senior set numerous school records, including hits in a season (44), career home runs (27) and career wins (29). Mor-

rell threw six no-hitters in his varsity career, including three this season.

“Brian works his tail off, and he does the right thing,” Shoreham-Wading River’s head coach Kevin Willi said. “The first couple times the scouts were out, the guys were a little awestruck, but Brian has always been team first.”

Ben Brown of Ward Melville was also selected by the Phillies Wednesday. The 6-foot, 6-inch right-handed pitcher was taken in the 33rd round.

“When I found out, it was such a relief,” Brown said. “I jumped up really high and I gave my mom a big hug. It’s such an incredible blessing.”

Brown amassed a 15-3 record over his career as a Patriot, and tied for second on the school’s all-time wins list. He went 7-0 during the regular season in his sophomore year, and after a loss in the playoffs, went 3-0 to start his junior year.

He hadn’t given up a single run, but then an unexpected challenge put his resolve to the test.

Brown’s appendix burst, and he needed emergency surgery. He lost 20 pounds during his setback.

“It was a long road for him and he had to work hard,” Ward Melville head coach Lou Petrucci said. “Everybody roots for Ben. He’s just a good kid and he’s done a good job.”

Petrucci is already dreaming up Ward Melville-graduates Steven Matz or Anthony Kay versus Brown scenarios.

“They’re making baseball relevant — it’s nice to see Long Island baseball get the recognition it deserves,” Petrucci said. “To see these kids pursue their dreams and have their dreams unfold right before our very eyes, that’s what you want to see. We all work to see kids realize their dreams, and Ben Brown was the next in line.”

County

Two Republicans, one Democrat vying for Suffolk sheriff job

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Three candidates are currently in the race to become Suffolk County sheriff this November. State Sen. Phil Boyle (R-East Islip), career law enforcer Larry Zacarese (R), Boyle’s Republican primary challenger, and retired New York City police officer Dan Caroleo (D) are each hoping to inherit the position held for 12 years

by Vincent DeMarco (R), who announced in May his decision not to seek a fourth term. He declined to comment on his decision.

Boyle, 55, of Bay Shore, who was elected to the New York Senate in November 2012 after serving 16 years as a state assemblyman, was endorsed for sheriff by the Suffolk Conservative Party in March and was backed by both the Republican and Independent parties soon after.

If elected, Boyle, a stepfather of two, said he wants to run the sheriff’s office in the most cost-effective manner possible, promote people based on merit rather than politics and halt the rise of drug overdoses and gang violence. He recently cosponsored a bill to ban the sale of machetes to minors, the weapon of choice for MS-13 gang members.

The senator, who chaired and

Republicans Phil Boyle and Larry Zacarese and democrat dan Caroleo are running for Suffolk County sheriff. helped create the state Senate’s Joint Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction in 2013 to stamp out the growing drug problem, pointed to his active involvement pushing law enforcement issues in Albany as significant qualifiers.

Under the task force, 18 hearings were held across the state, which led to 11 prevention, treatment and enforcement measures passed by the Legislature and signed into law

by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).

When it comes to immigration issues, Boyle said he disagrees with how DeMarco has run the jail.

“I work closely with federal immigration agents to make sure any individuals housed in the Suffolk County

jail that agents may want to interact with due to immigration status have access to that,” Boyle said. “DeMarco, for a while, made the jail a sanctuary jail, in my opinion, and I’m definitely not going to allow that to happen.”

Zacarese, 43, of Kings Park, who is currently the assistant chief of the Stony Brook University police, said he’s looking forward to the primary.

Zacarese and his “army of volunteers” are currently gathering 2,000 signatures in order to run. Confident he’s not just another choice, but the better choice, for the top law enforcement job, Zacarese outlined his 25year law enforcement career.

He started as a Holbrook volunteer fireman at 17, went to paramed-

ic school, then began to work in the NYPD as a patrol officer, canine handler and tactical paramedic. He became a sergeant, then deputy chief fire instructor at the Suffolk County Fire Academy and an adjunct lecturer at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University.

For four years, while working at Stony Brook by day, Zacarese pursued his shelved passion, attending law school by night. He is currently admitted to practice law in the state.

“My wife tells me I’m the biggest underachiever she knows,” the father of four said, laughing. “I’ve worked really hard rounding out all of the areas that are pertinent to the office of sheriff, which is much more

than just the person who oversees the correctional facilities.”

He said, if elected, his main priority is the opioid crisis.

“We really need to take a better look at the prevention and collaboration between addiction programs and not-for-profits, as well as how we can influence treatment while people are being incarcerated,” he said. “It’s about [providing] help while they’re in jail so when they return to their communities, they have started on the path to recovery.”

Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chairman Richard Schaffer, campaign manager for Caroleo, 62, of North Babylon, who was unavailable for comment, said the former New York City police officer, director of security at the North Babylon School District and current member of the district’s school board has, “a wealth of experience, he’s wellrounded and I think he can work cooperatively with, and continue, what County Executive Steve Bellone (D), Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini, and DeMarco have laid out — making sure we continue to drive down jail population.”

According to Schaffer, “Caroleo feels he has a great deal of public safety experience” that he could bring to the sheriff’s department.

Letters to the editor

Father’s Day reflections

A change to improve pedestrian safety

To commemorate Father’s Day last Sunday, our editorial staff wanted to take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the dedicated and caring fathers and father figures who have shaped our lives.

Rita J. Egan: Everyone gets one father but some get more than one, and on Father’s Day I remember all the men who stepped in and filled the void in a child’s life. After my parents separated, I moved in with my maternal grandparents, and it was my grandfather who provided paternal guidance in my life. I would spend hours following him around as he worked on his paintings or did his chores around the house and yard. A left-hander like me, he showed me how to write neatly and taught me how to draw — two things I never quite mastered as well as he did. He’s the one who bought my friend and me tickets to my favorite boy band’s concert, even though at first he and my grandmother told me I couldn’t go to their Nassau Coliseum show. He’s the one who went to the parent-teacher’s conference and drove me to religion classes and kickline practices. And, those memories and many others are what are cherished on Father’s Day. Desirée Keegan: Being a single parent, my mother had to be soft but stern, a protector and a provider, a patriarch and an exemplar.

Like many single moms, she has always been a guiding light, sacrificing for the betterment of her two children, but was always right there to be a shoulder to cry on or a handyman when needed too. She built a better life — her sacrifices led to greater rewards, and with limited resources, she ensured mental and emotional well-being, while always making sure there was food on the table. Through thick and thin my mother has supported me. She’s the biggest inspiration in my life, and she surpasses Superman in my mental list of heroes. Mom, you are powerful.

You’ve been two parents in one. To my compassionate, loving, beautiful mother who has always been more than enough, Happy Father’s Day to you.

Victoria Espinoza: The first time I saw my dad teaching a science class at Hofstra University, I saw a man I had never seen in the 18 years we shared a roof — the excitement and passion in his eyes, the joy when his students raised their hands and participated in the lesson. It’s a memory I will never forget of Dr. Fernando Espinoza.

On my bedroom wall is a chalkboard with the phrase, “Just because it’s not intuitive, doesn’t mean I don’t have the capacity to learn it.”

Spoken from the brain of my father, the nutty professor, it’s a lesson I carry with me. It can relate to my dad’s travels to America from Colombia, his struggles learning English, his journey becoming a father of four, and the wisdom he hopes to instill in his students. One day I hope it will help describe my life as well. There are no words I would rather have define my life than the words of my father.

Alex Petroski: Being a baseball and hockey dad undoubtedly presents a number of challenges for most fathers. Striking a balance between focused direction in the hopes of achieving improvement and never failing to remember that you’ve all gathered to enjoy a kids’ game is surely no easy task. As I got older and the competition in the moment seemed more and more important, a third task presented itself for my dad. No matter how many times I kicked a ground ball that let a run score, or missed picking up a man cutting to the net for a goal, after some words of advice on how to do better next time, the conversation always went back to the positives. No mistake was large enough to dwell on and ignore even the most miniscule sign of improvement that his trained eye had picked up. He juggled those three things masterfully and as a result I have nothing but fond memories of the times my dad and I spent on the same field or rink as part of the same team. Many negative connotations associated with youth sports in our country would be demolished if there were more dads like mine out there.

Kevin Redding: I never feel less driven than when I’m around my dad. He’s a man of many talents, with a particular knack for building and cooking things. There hasn’t been a day I’ve known him where he hasn’t built some sort of elaborate piece of furniture or fun accessory and followed it up with a delicious home-cooked meal, a personal favorite being his Korean barbecue. Just a few years ago he went back to college to attain an engineering degree with hopes that it would bring him a new and exciting career … and it worked. He and my mom live in Florida now, where he works as an entertainment technician and lighting crew chief at Hollywood Studios in Disney World. Love ya, dad.

Crystal Brook Hollow Road, between Old Post Road and Oakwood, is a very narrow road, especially now since road guards have been installed. There is virtually no room for a pedestrian. This also represents a danger to drivers of cars or trucks who might swerve upon encountering a walker or jogger. It is almost impossible to see a walker as you drive over a hill, because there is simply

insufficient room for both vehicles and people. And if two drivers are approaching in opposite directions, a pedestrian will possibly end up jumping into the trees on one side or over the road guard on the other, or worse. I personally have observed close calls on Crystal Brook.

I hope that a nopedestrian zone can be established on this portion of Crystal Brook Hollow

Road. It is long overdue. It would be a tragedy if a vehicle should strike a child or an adult. The Town of Brookhaven was informed about this situation over a year ago, but chose to do nothing. It is a town road and Brookhaven should do something about this lifethreatening situation.

Herbert Herman Port Jefferson

We can feel hopeless or hopeful The other day a friend shared a statistic that heroin is now the leading cause of death in Americans under 50 years old.

It is reported that, today, 144 people will die from accidental overdose.

I have been working in health care for 30 years and watching our society become what I term “sicker and sadder.” The statistics are indisputable and show that too many people are living in despair.

When you add the 144 heroin overdoses to the 121 suicides completed every day, which includes 22 of our veterans, and acknowledge not only the noted increase of suicide rate in our children and teens but the fact that, for every one suicide completed 25 are attempted, there is no disputing the negative and/or hopeless feelings of so many people.

We hear a lot about accidental overdose — I thought it fair to include why people may start using drugs in the first place.

Per Foundation for a Drug Free World, “people take drugs because they want to change something about their lives.”

It is evident that there are two categories of people — the ones who absolutely need rehab and

Letters …

recovery and the ones who may be having a negative life experience that haven’t gotten to this point.

One more statistic — as per the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older. In addition, major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. for ages 15 to 44 and affects more than 15 million American adults in a given year.

It breaks my heart that so many people live their lives in despair.

I believe community support will help in many ways, including helping those who feel depressed or alone or isolated. We can continue to fight “wars” or we can begin to provide proactive life and coping skills to use in our lives and our communities that will potentially circumvent the development of a negative life experience and the utilization of self-destructive behaviors.

I have many years of experience working in the field of quality improvement. As I continue to learn and to research, it becomes more than evident to me that we are going about helping our

people achieve quality of life the wrong way. We are “chasing our tail” instead of providing proactive skills and tools where our people may choose a better option to handling life situations, no matter how horrible they may be, versus utilizing self-destructive options. It is now evident to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that helping people learn what they need to enjoy life, helping people feel a sense of community, will undoubtedly help to stop the cycle we are currently experiencing.

The approach to find opportunities to love life, to help people with problem solving and resources so they don’t feel the need to use drugs to self-medicate may be a better solution.

Just imagine if we bring together people to share their talents — all people in our communities including our veterans, our seniors and our youth — so no one feels alone.

The goals to decrease social isolation and create a purposeful life additionally will, in turn, increase longevity and the quality of life of our people.

It is researched and proven.

OpiniOn Taking extra time to reach your goals

H

urry, hurry, hurry! You’ve got five minutes to get to the high school before your daughter’s graduation.

It usually takes six. You might have to go faster than the speed limit, but you’ve done it before.

Your daughter looks great and she’s so calm.

You push on the accelerator on the straight road ahead. Your daughter takes a deep breath.

OK, just a little faster and you’ll make it. Oh, no, no, no, a small car pulls in front

“Come on!” you implore, flicking your fingers forward as if you were

trying to scratch a chalkboard from the bottom up.

“Dad, it’s OK,” your daughter insists.

“I don’t want you to be late,” you say.

You drive carefully around a curve and head for another straight part of the road. You reach a stop sign, where a BMW misses an opening to go. It was a small one, but you’ve got to make your own openings in this town. That’s what you’d tell everyone today if you were giving the speech your daughter won the right to deliver.

Your daughter did better in school than you did. That makes you proud, but you don’t have time to be proud.

All these people are slowing you down.

You just have a few more turns. A Girl Scout troop crosses the road in front of you. Your daughter was in Girl Scouts years ago, but you don’t like them now. They’re making you late for such an important day for the family.

Then the Girl Scouts, whose uniforms make you think of those mint cookies, cross the street. You’re a block

from the school and a sedan takes forever to park.

You grind your teeth and lift your hand to touch the horn. Your daughter puts her hand firmly on yours and shakes her head slowly.

The woman with streaks of gray in her hair and a green suit looks vaguely familiar as she gets out of a car.

Finally, you park, get in the school and, shockingly, your daughter’s friends have reserved you great seats.

You pick up your phone to start recording your daughter’s speech. The camera’s out of memory. You grind your teeth as you try to delete enough old pictures to record this magic moment.

“Good morning,” your daughter’s voice offers the room. Your wife tells you to stop fiddling with your phone and look up.

After your daughter shares memories of high school, she wants to offer advice to her class.

“I want you to remember to leave some margin for error,” she urges.

Right, you smile. Your daughter, who made so many fewer errors than you did, is talking to the other people about their mistakes. You nod to the other people.

“If we need to do something, to be somewhere or to accomplish anything, we need to accept that the route might include detours or unexpected obstacles,” she offers, sharing that crooked smile she developed in middle school.

“It’s not anyone else’s fault. If it’s important, don’t blame the obstacles. Be prepared for them. Planning means understanding them and giving yourself some extra time to reach your goals.”

You take a deep breath, the way she did so many times while she waited for you at the entrance to the house. You look around the room to see if anyone else knows she’s talking to you. You now recognize the woman on stage with streaks of gray in her hair and a green suit; she’s the superintendent of schools.

You realize how much smarter your daughter is than you.

Summertime, and we love all the freedoms

uddenly it’s summer. Yes, the graduations from high school are still to come, and perhaps a sweet 16 party or a wedding, but by and large we are beginning to wind down into summer.

constraints of almost every kind.

Of course we still have to do things like take out the garbage and water the lawn and the plants, but those regular chores are so much easier when it isn’t winter-frigid or spring-wet. We’ll suffer spraying to keep the mosquitoes away, checking for ticks and smearing on countless layers of sunscreen as long as we can don a bathing suit, grab a towel and whip down to a beach. We might even bring some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with us, but somehow making them then doesn’t seem such an effort.

The first sense to awaken in the morning for me these days is my hearing. Before I even open my eyes, I delight in the bird songs.

Those birds have been up for hours, it seems, and they are heavily in conversation. Who knows what they are saying? Maybe they’re planning the day’s activities, or maybe they are just scolding each other. My best guess is that they are gossiping as they work, searching for food for

their newborns and themselves.

Their sounds draw my eyes to the window before I rise. If the sun is bright, then the sky is a rich blue and the leaves dancing on the tree limbs are a lush summer green. A tiny white butterfly passes in front of the panes, followed by a swooping bird on a mission. I hear the birds again and I realize now what they are saying: “Get up, get up you sleepyhead. You’ve already slept half the day away.”

I jump out of bed. It is only a little past 7 o’clock, but it has long been light. I know that because these are the longest days of the year, and that makes most of us happy. And I realize that I don’t have to hurry. For most of us, summer is a time to slow down and kick back a little — unless we sell ice cream or are landscapers. It’s a time to read a book, socialize later into the day, go to an air-conditioned movie or otherwise just relax.

Do you wonder how people in California regard summer, in places like San Diego where it is pretty warm all year round? I think summer

is a state of mind as well as a warm succession of weeks. Even residents of La Jolla must enjoy the freedoms that come with the season, spoiled though they might be by the pictureperfect weather.

I don’t know if children do this so much any more with the various enrichment activities available but, when I was a child, summer was a time to do nothing — or anything I wanted to do each day when I awoke.

Much of my time was taken up with reading. I would take stacks of books from the public library, with special dispensation from the neighborhood librarian who got to know me, and read them throughout the summer under a tree, on a chaise, at a pool before I fell asleep at night. I realized years later that I not only enjoyed the magic carpet trip that a book afforded me but especially the learning that came from its pages.

Here’s wishing us wonderful weeks ahead as we rejoice in the warmth, the light, the colors — and the freedoms of summer.
