Suffolk County proposes app to combat drug addiction By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The fight against substance abuse among young people on the North Shore and around Suffolk County is set to enter the 21st century. Suffolk County Legislator and Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) launched efforts for the county to develop a smartphone application at the June 20 legislative meeting that will provide users with quick and easy access to drug addiction services. It will also provide information on how to recognize and prevent opioid overdoses for families who are struggling with how to protect their loved ones. “This mobile app will literally put lifesaving information directly into the hands of those who need it most,” Gregory said at a press conference in Hauppauge last week. “There is a desperate need for instant access to addiction resources. Just a few weeks ago, 22 people over a two-day span overdosed on opioids in Suffolk. There are so many valuable resources and programs in our county, and we must do all we can to make it easier for those battling substance abuse to reach out for help.” The app will provide locations of nearby hospitals and treatment centers, links to organizations and support hotlines and information on training to administer Narcan, an overdose reversal medication.

the suffolk county Legislature wants to help curb drug use by developing an app for cellphones that will provide access to drug addition services. Gregory said he believes the app will be a worthwhile endeavor given the recent launch of New York City’s mobile app, Stop OD NYC, which provides overdose prevention education and connects individuals with local programs. According to his office, Suffolk officials are considering modeling Suffolk’s own app after the city’s version and have been in touch with city health officials as they look to develop the proposal request. Suffolk County Health Commissioner
James Tomarken said the addition of the app is another powerful weapon to use in the ongoing battle against drug addiction. “Substance abuse affects everyone in the community,” he said at the event. “An application that consolidates information that can be accessed from anywhere on a mobile device offers one more tool in our toolkit for dealing with this public health crisis.” Suffolk County Community Mental Hygiene Services Director Ann Marie Csorny
agreed, saying this idea makes the most sense for the younger generation. “Today’s youth have come to rely heavily on their smartphones, so putting substance abuse information into a format that is easily accessible to them makes sense,” she said. Suffolk County is no stranger to the nation’s growing opioid problem. In 2014 Suffolk had the highest number of overdose deaths involving heroin of all New York counties and had the most overdose deaths where prescription opioids were a factor, according to a 2016 New York State Comptroller’s report. Donna DiBiase, founder and executive director of A2R Magazine, a publication related to journeys in addiction and recovery said branching out to new platforms like cellphones are crucial to winning the fight. “A mobile app of this nature could be a vital resource at a time when we are losing our next generation to this epidemic,” she said in a statement. “There isn’t a person that I meet who doesn’t know someone — a neighbor, a family member, a friend — who has been touched by this disease. Empowerment and education is so important, and we need to continue to find ways to get information to those who are struggling with addiction, whether it be through an app, a hotline or a magazine.” The resolution was filed by Gregory at the June 20 meeting and will go before the Health Committee July 20.

hometown history
Historic baseball swings and hits a homerun in Smithtown By mariannE hoWarD Much intensity erupted when Major League Baseball announced the no-pitch intentional walk rule at the start of the 2017 season. Accordingly, I wondered about the changes of baseball rules and their origins in America. The Smithtown Historical Society is home to the Brooklyn Atlantics, a team of vintage baseball players, those recreate the look and feel of historic baseball. The Atlantics play the game today according to 1864 and 1884 rules. The original Brooklyn Atlantics were the World Champions of baseball for the 1864-1865 season, and champions of their league throughout the 1860s. So how do these gentlemen play the game? I spoke with Atlantics Captain Frank Van Zant, known to his teammates as Shakespeare, about these rules and how they evolved over time. In 1864, there were no gloves because the homemade baseball was much softer. It was made of one piece of leather which was sewn together. The pitcher stood 45 feet away from the batter, and threw the ball underhand, but with some purposeful zip and intention as to force the batter out. Over the course of 20 years, throughout the 1860s and 1870s, pitchers began to cheat slightly and throw the ball sideways, and eventually quicker and quicker, and then completely overhand. Since pitching this way is faster, it led to the appearance of the first catcher’s glove by the 1880s. Think about trying to catch a line drive without wearing a glove as a fielder. If you stuck your fingers out, you would most likely break one, so you had to make a decision to force your hand out flat to catch the ball and stick to that, an insistence from today’s Atlantics that those who play this way are truly brave and manly men. In order to avoid injury, balls caught with

This rule waned after the 1860s, with the fielders considered less manly if they caught the baseball in that fashion. In the early 1860s, balls and strikes did not exist. The calls weren’t “invented” until 1864, and at that point, umpires did not have to call them. Pitchers could be throwing 40 to 50 pitches per batter Today, a starting pitcher is generally removed after throwing 100 pitches. Therefore, generally speaking, changes in rules over time have been to try to find an acceptable balance between the efforts of the offense and that of the defense. Want to come down and see the Atlantics in action? Their next home game at the Smithtown Historical Society is on July 22 at 11am. All games are free, open to
the public, and the players welcome questions from the audience about the rules and the game. Marianne Howard is the executive director of the Smithtown Historical Society. For

Suffolk officials create program to inspire ambitious teens By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Beneath the sunny rays in Smithtown’s Blydenburgh County Park June 29, Suffolk County Legislator and Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) announced a new program to celebrate Suffolk’s youth community. The Distinguished Youth Award program is meant to promote and recognize the achievements and initiatives in service of Suffolk County’s youngest contributing members. The program is open to county residents between the ages of 13 and 18, and registrants will work with local officials throughout the course of a year to lay out plans and goals that touch on volunteerism, personal development, exploration of Suffolk County, and physical fitness.
Gregory announced the program alongside young residents who have already registered, and with colleague, Suffolk County Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset). “The goal in establishing this program is to encourage young people to become well-rounded and engaged in local issues and initiatives,” Gregory said at the press event. “Our young people are our future. This program is one way to build a foundation on which these young adults can continue to develop a connection to their communities, to understand their needs, and to explore solutions. We are encouraging them to be leaders whose roots are firmly planted in Suffolk County.” According to Gregory’s office, the program is modeled after the Congressional Youth Leadership Council, and challenges

Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau officers rescued four men who became stranded in a 10-foot inflatable boat in the Long Island Sound June 29 while a small craft advisory was in place. Suffolk Police said they received a 911 call at approximately 9:15 p.m. from a man who was stranded in a 10-foot inflatable boat, along with three other male occupants. The men, who launched from Sunken Meadow State Park to go fishing, were pulled out to Long Island Sound approximately one mile and a half north of
the Nissequogue River. Their boat did not have a motor, and they were unable to paddle back due to winds blowing 20 to 25 miles per hour. Marine Bureau Officers Charles Marchiselli, Edmund McDowell and Erik Johnson, responded in Marine Bravo and located the men within 15 minutes of the 911 call. The boat’s owner, Marco Murillo, 36, of Massapequa, and three additional men, were taken aboard Marine Bravo and transported along with their boat to Sunken Meadow State Park. All of the men were wearing life vests and there were no injuries.

Impeach Trump rally in PJ Station met with dueling realities By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com On the south corner of Routes 347 and 112 in Port Jefferson Station about 100 community members gathered to call for the impeachment of the 45th president of the United States July 2. And after hearing about the demonstration on Facebook, a few dozen of their neighbors assembled on the north corner of the intersection to voice their support for President Donald Trump (R). Though only six lanes of highway and a median separated the two groups, the ideological gulf between protestors and their interpretation of the first six months of the Trump presidency is seemingly growing by the second. Members of political activist organizations the North Country Peace Group, Long Island Rising and others organized the Impeach Trump rally. The groups have been involved in organizing similar rallies since Inauguration Day Jan. 20 to speak out about Trump’s position on climate change, women’s health care rights, nuclear proliferation and to commemorate International Women’s Day. To coincide with the Women’s March on Washington, D.C., Jan. 21, a sister march boasting attendance in the thousands took place at the same corner. The march calling for Trump’s impeachment Sunday had a different feel from previous events for two major reasons — a sizable group of Trump supporters gathered across the street to oppose the rally, and attendance was substantially lower compared to not only the massive Jan. 21 event but to all others organized by the groups of late as well. Organizers from the two groups on
the south corner pointed to the holiday weekend as an explanation for the waning number of attendees, rather than a potential decrease in enthusiasm for the Trump “resistance.” Though citizens on both corners acknowledged the heated political discourse is having an overall negative effect on the country, neither seemed ready to concede any ground. “The country has never been divided to the extent it is now, and the anger level is very, very high,” said Bill McNulty during the event, a member of the North Country Peace Group who has had a political radio talk show at Stony Brook University for 25 years. When asked how a rally calling for Trump’s ouster days before July Fourth might contribute to that divide, McNulty suggested supporters of the president are among those most likely to suffer from his policies, especially regarding health care and the environment. McNulty admitted discussion of Trump’s impeachment is premature due to the Republican majority in the House and Senate and because investigations regarding possible collusion between his campaign and Russia are still in the early stages. “What we have to do now is draw together these different organizations and focus on a couple of particular points that will enable us to really throw a fright into these politicians,” he said, also conceding political opposition from his corner would be productive if focused on specific issues, though he didn’t back down from his belief Trump is not fit for office. Across Route 347, most attendees declined to answer questions. Sean Bergin, a Ronkonkoma resident explained his moti-

None of the media has the guts to point at Barack Obama’s failed immigration policies as the cause of that. We have a president now who’s putting a stop to that, and those people are terrified because they know it’s the end of the Democrat party.” Jim Barr, a Selden resident, Trump supporter and president of Long Island ABATE, a group dedicated to the training and education of American bikers, said the source of the anger across the street is Hillary Clinton’s loss in the election. “This is the United States of America — key
word ‘united,’” he said. “We’re all supposed to be on the same page. I didn’t vote for Barack Obama. That’s the last person I would have voted for, but I didn’t cry when he got elected.” Barr admitted he wished someone would screen the president’s tweets but said he’s happy Trump hasn’t changed from his demeanor during the campaign. Sound Beach resident Noreen Morrison, a member of Long Island Rising, explained the thinking behind a July Fourth weekend rally calling for the impeachment of a sitting president and the possibility it could heat up political rhetoric. “It’s the only thing we have available to us, peaceful protest,” she said. “I don’t want to see this country come to armed conflict between political factions.” Though there has been chatter on the Democratic side, no substantial move toward impeachment has accumulated to this point.
PersPectives
Honoring a Rocky Point grad, service member ahead of July 4 As our nation commemorates the anniversary of our fight for independence July Fourth, there are many examples of military service that would make our Founding Fathers proud. The sacrifices that are made by our local citizens to protect this country should not be overlooked or forgotten. At Rocky Point High School’s 2017 graduation ceremony, senior Lisa Schuchman was surprised to be reunited with her brother, Chris, who has been serving overseas in the United States Air Force. It had been three years since Chris traveled home from his duty staBy rich Acritelli tion in Germany to see his loved ones in Sound Beach. As his former teacher and baseball coach, Chris is a sincere young man who represents all that is right with America. For the people gathered on the special occasion, myself in-
Your turn
cluded, it was an honor to witness the special moment for Chris, Lisa and their family. The big smile that beamed across Chris’s face for the crowded gym to see was characteristic of his genuine demeanor that I remember. He was a kid who always hustled, never made excuses and was an outstanding teammate on and off the baseball field. Walking around the hallways of Rocky Point, Chris demonstrated a respect that was second to none and a smile that was contagious among his friends. It seemed like yesterday that his buddies Danny Capell, Jonathan Popko and Steven Soltysik could count on the outstanding attributes of “Schucky” to be an outstanding friend and teammate. When Chris told me that he was going to enlist in the Air Force, as his teacher, coach and a veteran, it was easy to understand that like with baseball, he would flourish in the military. He was a student who always understood the differences between right and wrong and a kid who was motivated to serve his nation. Two months after he graduated, Chris completed basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. For Chris, this was one of his proudest accomplishments, as it solidified the discipline and structure that he learned in order to fulfill his future duties. When he com-
pletes his active duty obligation in 2019, it is his goal to return to civilian life to become a police officer and continue to serve in the Air Force Reserves. Over the last three years, Chris has spent most of this time in Germany at the huge military base at Ramstein and at Kaiserslautern where he currently serves. He has handled the internal security for the air installations and worked with German police authorities to ensure that American military personnel are properly following the laws within the country. From November 2014 to May 2015, Chris was deployed to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. He remained on base to ensure the safety of the American and NATO forces who count on the vital post for resources, reinforcements and logistical support. During his deployment, Chris recalled the presence of the enemy through the constant mortar attacks the Taliban waged against the mostly western forces that have been in Afghanistan since October 2001. Although he endured the frigid weather and snow, Chris vividly described the beauty of the mountains that were always nearby. His long-term deployment in Germany has allowed him the chance to travel to Ireland, France, Austria, Poland, Switzerland,
Norway and the Netherlands. He has said he thoroughly enjoyed the ability to travel, learn about the different cultures, understand the German language and, with his big smile, he met a lovely German young lady who is studying to become a nurse. Speaking with Chris, it is evident he fully understands the attention to detail required of his security forces job through the measured responses he provided about his time in Germany and Afghanistan. It is my fondest memories of the local kid who always shook my hand as a student, looked me in the eye and now answers “yes sir” to many of the questions asked of him. While his parents are very proud of every one of their children, you can tell the immense satisfaction that his father holds when he describes the experiences his son has gained through his service to America. As we take time to honor the historic actions of our Founding Fathers, may we thank our current patriots who still continue to strengthen the American way of life for current and future generations of this great nation. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

to so many wonderful young people who have distinguished themselves in many ways,” Spencer said in a statement. “It will be a great honor to recognize them individually.” Kennedy echoed the sentiments. “In Suffolk County we have many accomplished young men and women,” she said at the event. “The Distinguished Youth Award will foster an environment where our youth will continue to accomplish great things, and grow into civically minded adults.” Registration forms are available online on the Suffolk County Legislature’s Distinguished Youth Award program’s web page at legis.suffolkcountyny.gov/DYA.html. They can also be mailed to Suffolk County Legislature Distinguished Youth Award, Office of the Presiding Officer, Suffolk County Legislature, P.O. Box 6100 – Bldg. 20, Hauppauge, NY 11788-0099.

SCPD canines become the newest members of the force BY viCtoria ESPinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The Suffolk County Police Department welcomed seven new four-legged members to its team last month. Seven Europeanbred German Shepherds became a part of the canine section. Champ, with handler Matthew DeWitt; Chief, with handler Christopher Fezza; Brick, with handler Shawn Petersen; Kaos, with handler Keith Menotti; Wolf, with handler Kevin Krause; Axel, with handler Ryan Neems; and Milo, with handler Ed Gomez demonstrated training techniques learned during the first several months of training.
The dogs were born in 2015 and 2016 and will finish patrol training and then go on the road for some real-life experience before receiving training in specialized techniques including sniffing out explosives, drugs and human remains. Petersen’s dog, Brick, is named after retired 3rd Precinct Officer Tara Brick who died from breast cancer in June 2013 shortly after she retired. “It’s a very exciting moment for the Suffolk County PD because not only are we introducing these new canines but we now are at full strength in terms of our canine division for the first time in several years,” Police Commissioner Tim Sini said at the press event.

the american Heart association has tips for beating the heat in the summer.
AHA summertime health tips Summer can bring many happy memories – family vacations, summer camp, days at the shore, staying up late and watching the sun set. No matter what your summer traditions include, be sure to keep in mind your heart and brain health throughout the longer daylight hours. Here are the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s top 10 tips for a heart-healthy summer: •Learn Hands-Only CPR. Days by the pool and ocean can be fun, but always be prepared for the unthinkable. Hands-Only CPR has only two steps: If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 911, and press hard and fast in the center of the chest. •Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids (preferably water) throughout the day and before, during and after working out to maintain salt-water balance. Avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages. •Exercise smarter, not harder. Plan your workout for the cooler parts of the day — either early morning or early evening when the sun’s radiation is at its least. If you must exercise during the hottest part of the day or in high humidity, decrease exercise intensity and duration. And remember, you can get a great workout indoors by going to a gym or walking at the mall. •Dress the part. Wear minimal amounts of
clothing that allow for quick evaporation of sweat. Choose lightweight, light-colored and breathable fabrics, such as cotton. •Choose fresh veggies. Take advantage of fresh seasonal veggies. Load up skewers with mushrooms, peppers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash or other veggies. Spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray and grill until lightly blackened. •Pack to play. When taking a family road trip, plan to incorporate regular physical activity into your daily routine. Pack a football, soccer ball, frisbee or paddle ball so that you can be physically active while away. •Enjoy fruit pops. Homemade freezer pops are an easy, fun treat for kids to make and enjoy. •Protect yourself from the sun. Wear widebrimmed hats, always apply water-resistant sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and reapply sunscreen every two hours. •Head indoors. When the heat gets unbearable, try indoor activities at your local YMCA or rec center like basketball, swimming, yoga or racquetball. •Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Seniors graduate
With “Pomp and Circumstance” playing, 35 residents of the Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, wearing mortarboards and gowns, received their diplomas at the 29th Annual Gurwin Adult Education Graduation Ceremony Wednesday, June 14, at the Gurwin Center, in Commack. Mr. Fuchs, 96, formerly of Queens, graduated from high school in 1937, but did not continue on to college due to family obligations. Instead, he took a job to help his parents, working in a millinery for 30 cents per hour. In 1942 Irving enlisted in the Army/Air Force, and flew 75 combat missions during World War II; he was awarded the Distinguished Flying
Cross, the nation’s second highest award for military valor, for “heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight.” Irving retired from a 40-year career with the US Postal Service and has lived at Gurwin since 2012. Mr. Digiacomo, 88, formerly of Bayport, dropped out of high school to help his family’s bakery business when his two brothers left to fight in World War II. Freddie later joined the Navy, and never had a chance to complete his formal education. Now a resident at Gurwin, Freddie eagerly attends the Center’s Adult Education classes, which he says gave him the ability to keep his mind sharp and make new friends.
As part of the program, students completed one course per month from September to April, including “The History of New York,” “Understanding the Inventions that Changed the World,” and “Extreme Weather,” as well as programs in art and culture. Courses were taught by Center staff. Each September residents vote, choosing the curriculum from a list of topics; staff members research the topics in order to plan the coursework. “Tonight’s commencement ceremony is a testament to the will and determination of a generation that values hard work, sacrifice… and education,” Herbert H. Friedman, CEO of Gurwin said. “Their perseverance and commitment serves as a sign to
us all that learning is a lifelong journey, that personal and intellectual growth is achievable into the golden years. We are proud of the accomplishments of our remarkable residents.” On hand to congratulate the graduates were Huntington Town Councilwomen Susan A. Berland (D) and Tracey Edwards (D), and representatives from New York State Sen. John Flanagan’s (R-East Northport) and New York State Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci’s (R-Huntington Station) offices, who presented the graduates with certificates. The ceremony closed with a “graduates’ cheer,” including the tossing of caps in celebration of their achievement.

SportS DeSimone scores 3 goals, 2 assists in Under Armour game Smithtown midfielder named MVP of national all-star game By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com In a game that was likely to feature a potent offense — with 44 of the country’s best rising college men’s lacrosse freshmen on the field — it was Smithtown East’s own Connor DeSimone that led the way. He tallied a hat trick and two assists, and was among 11 scorers that were part of an aggressive North attack that beat South, 18-16, in the Under Armour All-America senior boys all-star game at Towson University July 1. “My teammates were just looking for me the entire time,” DeSimone said. “They definitely did most of the work, and I give them a lot of credit.” North went on a 9-1 run in the first half to go into halftime up by six, and the Johns Hopkins University commit helped pace that burst. After North withstood a man-down situation four minutes into the second quarter, DeSimone picked up a turnover deep in his own offensive end and pushed it into the goal to tie the score at 6-6. Soon after, DeSimone gave North its lead off an assist from attackman Tehoka Nanticoke, who will play next season at the University at Albany. Then, DeSimone widened the advantage to two when he fed midfielder Matt Licciardi, a Cornell University commit, for a score.

“I was just in the right place at the right time,” DeSimone said. “Competing against the best in the country was something special. Being there was such a great experience.” Navy commit Nate Buller later powered through the zone with a defender guarding close to his shoulder for an overhead score, but South, which opened the second-quarter scoring in less than a minute, didn’t register another point for the remainder of the half. Instead, DeSimone completed his hat trick and four of North’s 10 first-half scorers added points. Shoreham-Wading River’s Chris Gray and teammate Jackson Reid followed DeSimone with one apiece in the span of about a minute. After Gray found the back of the net, the entire North team congregated in South’s defensive territory and played duck-duck-goose with the Boston University-bound attackman. It was one of the multiple elaborate celebrations North rolled out during the win. “When Gray scored we decided we were going to play duck-duck-goose,” DeSimone said. “So everyone cleared the bench, we formed a big circle around him and it was so much fun getting out there with the guys.” DeSimone made the underclassmen rosters as a sophomore and a junior. The midfielder capped off his high school career being selected as a senior and bringing home the MVP trophy tied for a game-high five points. “It was a life-changing, incredible experi-

There’s no better way to end my high school career.” The stands were packed with people from all over the country, including every underclassmen group competing during the weekend. Seeing the younger fans there brought back memories for DeSimone, who was in the stands in 2011 when his older brother was on the team. “Growing up you look at the kids in the senior game, and say, ‘I wanna be that guy,’”
DeSimone said. “We’re the best players from our class, from our schools, so seeing a bunch of kids there and knowing I was once in the same shoes, it’s inspiring. ” He said being so passionate about the sport, earning the selection, competing and contributing during the winning game was a humbling experience. “This event is the best event I’ve ever been at, and knowing I got selected to play with the best players in the country, it means the hard work has finally paid off,” DeSimone said. “Hopefully it’s just the start.”

Shannon Kavanagh competes in Under Armour All-America game Smithtown East senior scores a goal in North’s overtime loss to South By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Although North came out on the losing side, falling 16-15 to South July 1, Long Island athletes helped propel North to the first overtime game in Under Armour AllAmerica girls’ lacrosse tournament history. The all-star game pits the best graduating high school lacrosse players in the country against each other every year. Mount Sinai’s Emily Vengilio and Hannah Van Middelem, ShorehamWading River’s Sophia Triandafils, Middle Country’s Jamie Ortega and Smithtown East’s Shannon Kavanagh were all local leaders chosen to play in the senior game. “I was so excited when I got the call from Under Armour,” Triandafils said. “Long Island is one of the best areas for lacrosse. Everyone was so skilled and we all meshed together. This game was honestly one of the coolest things I’ve done involving lacrosse.” The girls were treated like celebrities, being provided gear and getting their photos taken all weekend. Kavanagh was just ex-

cited to get out on the field one more time before traveling to the University of Florida. “To have one last hoo-rah before heading off to college was the cherry on top of a great high school career,” she said. University of North Carolina-bound Ortega and soon-to-be teammate Alli Mastroianni from New Jersey led North, which never trailed in the game, with three goals each. Kavanagh added a goal in the loss. “We came out strong and really played fast and competitive, and didn’t stop fighting,” Ortega said. “I was happy with how I played and was even happier to add points to help our team compete against the South.” Mastroianni opened the scoring and positioned herself for game MVP honors, finishing with three goals, two assists and four draw controls. North built its early lead, going on a 4-1 run and upping its cushion to 9-5 with six minutes left. The lead, however, was thanks in large part to goalie Riley Hertford’s nine saves in the first 30 minutes — one shy of the record for most in the girls’ Under Armour AllAmerica game. South twice had to come back from significant deficits; they trailed 11-7 at half-

time but came out of the gates strong, scoring five of the first six goals in the second period to knot things at 12-12. North again built a significant lead, going up 15-12 with 10:19 remaining after a pair of free position shots and an unassisted goal. North had two opportunities for a late game-winning goal after Mastroianni won the last draw of regulation. Kavanagh shot high with one minute remaining, then Vengilio, who is headed to Pennsylvania State University, picked up a ground ball with six seconds remaining, but the team couldn’t get a look at the cage. “We moved the ball in transition nicely and everyone was looking for that one more pass — we had some pretty nice defensive stops,” Kavanagh said. “But everyone was so good, so it was so much fun to be able to play against such good competition. If I could do the whole thing over again I would in a heartbeat.” Van Middelem made five stops for North in the second half. “We really got after it in the little time we had together,” she said. The team had two practices Friday before playing the game on Saturday. “It’s not hard to come together though when you have such talented lacrosse players playing together. I felt confident between the pipes knowing
I had the top defenders in the country in front of me. It was an honor to be selected for such a prestigious event.” Her Mount Sinai teammate was one of them, and Vengilio said she was glad to have shared the experience with her. “It was really amazing to represent Long Island with all the girls I played Yellow Jackets with, and it was awesome that Hannah and I got to represent our hometown,” Vengilio said. “You’re out there playing with 44 of the best players in the country so obviously people are going to score goals and people are going to get stopped on defense. It was a great experience.” Mount Sinai was the only school to have two players competing on the same team. “With Mount Sinai being such a small spot on the map it’s great to be out there,” Vengilio said. The win is just South’s fourth in the 12year history of the game, and vengeance for North’s win last season. “Lacrosse has meant the world to me since the day I picked up a stick for the first time,” Van Middelem said. “I have made lifelong friendships and memories from this sport. It has helped me grow into the person I am today and has taught me so many life lessons. I couldn’t picture my life without lacrosse.”

PersPectives Sugars: Hunger hormones Your turn
BY chris zenYuh How do you control your hunger? For some it’s a battle of willpower, while others snack their way through the day, regularly conceding to its demand. Still others try to exercise their way out of its grasp. Understanding hunger and how your dietary choices affect it necessitates a lesson on some of the hormones that control it. Let’s start simple. If you want to curb your hunger throughout the day, eat breakfast. Ghrelin (I like to call it growlin’) is a hormone produced by your stomach that serves as a hunger signal. Skipping breakfast causes your stomach to raise its ghrelin production throughout the remainder of the day. So eat breakfast, and remember
that food with protein, fat, and fiber (eggs, cheese, oatmeal) tend to linger longer in your stomach, generally keeping the growlin’ to a minimum. Eat slowly and chew your food. Everyone has heard this advice, usually meant to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. But, there’s another reason. Your stomach empties into your small intestine which is about 20 feet long. It takes about 20 minutes for some of what you have swallowed to reach the end of the small intestine. It is there that another hormone, PYY 3-36 is released upon the arrival of the first bits of food. The release of PYY 3-36 signals satiety, a sense of satisfaction that you’ve eaten enough. Of course, it you wolf down your food, more food than needed will be packed into your stomach before the PYY 3-36 can be released. By then, it’s too late; you’ve overeaten. Leptin is another hunger hormone. It is produced by your fat cells to tell your brain how ‘full’ they are! If more fat is stored, more leptin is produced. Leptin works on two levels, from meal to meal, as well as over the course of days and weeks. For example, if you’ve just returned from a cruise or all-in-
clusive vacation, your leptin levels are likely to be running high. That works to curb your hunger over the next few weeks, helping you lose the extra weight and return your leptin to pre-cruise levels. Leptin can also help you achieve satiety (think ‘satisfied’) during a meal. It’s a bit more complex, but, basically your brain cells “listen” for leptin in a way that is similar to how your body cells listen for insulin. Everyone’s leptin sensitivity is different, but it triggers a satiety feeling and your hunger abates. Consistently elevated levels of leptin can cause progressive insensitivity. The potential is for one to become leptin insensitive or stock photo even leptin resistant, making it harder or impossible to feel sated. Compounding the whole problem, elevated levels of insulin (from glucose consumption) make it even harder for your brain to ‘hear’ the leptin signal. Without an intricate description, high carbohydrate consumption (especially early in the meal process) makes you less likely to feel full. You’ll be more likely to eat that oversized platter of pasta
and dessert. The hunger equation does get a bit more complex, but it is important to add two brain chemicals, dopamine and serotonin. Dopamine is released by the mere act of eating. It supplies an undeniable sense of reward or pleasure. The sensation is strong enough to have driven our ancestors to find food or risk their lives in its pursuit. Nowadays, we don’t have to risk as much or work nearly as hard for that dopamine rush. Consuming carbohydrates stimulates the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a brain chemical that makes you feel happy, which is different from dopamine’s pleasure. It is no surprise that many people turn to eating carbohydrates to generate happiness in a stressful world. Relying on food for pleasure and happiness is a perilous path to take. If you’ve carefully read between the lines of this article, then you’ve discovered the secret to hunger and its management. Food that is slow to exit your stomach, eaten slowly, and not used as a substitute for other rewarding activities will provide both pleasure and satiety. You’ll take home a doggie bag, not as a trophy for willpower, but because the meal was enough for two, or three people in the first place.

Veterans salute during a Memorial Day ceremony. A North Shore resident smiles during a Pride parade.
File photo
Love is love While we’re still basking in the post-Independence Day glow and the love we have for our country and respect for the men and women who have died for our rights, it feels more appropriate than ever to firmly stand for the rights of the LGBT+ community. As Pride Month came to a close, we saw hundreds of events throughout New York celebrating the rights and history of the LGBT+ community. As the history of the United States unfolded, it’s clear some of our strongest moments have come when we’ve reevaluated our contemporary traditions and beliefs, and made the decision to update them with the changing times. July Fourth is a day to remember our nation’s fight for freedom, and we shouldn’t forget that fight was for the rights of all Americans. In 2015, the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. Like many other amendments and court decisions on social issues, it was long overdue, but it was the first major step in the right direction for LGBT+ rights on the national level. Most recently, on June 30, the German parliament voted to approve same-sex marriage. Of course the work for this community is far from over. Being an active ally is more crucial now than ever before. No one sexual orientation or gender identification should be treated as superior to the rest, and as a society we’re making progress toward reaching true equality. Being gay or straight is not right or wrong. However you identify is up to you and no one else. We’d like to commend U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for again walking in the New York City Pride March. He set an example for his state. It’s important that our local and national leaders stand as allies, and those who don’t should not be given the excuse “it’s their choice.” It’s not a choice to defend the rights of your constituents. It’s the job you were elected to do and nothing less.

Why health care is especially vital for our veterans As chairman of the Veterans Committee of the Suffolk County Legislature, I have the honor of working with, and for, the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much to protect our great nation — and with their families. I have had the opportunity to author and sponsor numerous legislative initiatives and work with the support of elected officials across all levels of government and across party lines and with not-for profit organizations and members of our community, to ensure that the needs of those who have given so much for all of us, always have access to the services they have earned and deserve. We have just observed Memorial Day, a solemn day of tribute and honor to all who have made the ultimate sacrifice through our history, from Lexington and Concord to Fallujah and Jalalabad, to ensure that their sacrifices will always be remembered and never be in vain. But Memorial Day and every day, we must do more than hold parades, wave flags and lay wreaths. We all have a solemn duty to protect those who have served us all. I recently traveled to Washington, D.C., with Tom Ronayne, Suffolk County director of the Veterans Services Agency, to meet with members of the House Committee on Veterans’
Affairs, to promote national expansion of the Joseph Dwyer peer-to-peer program, which originated in Suffolk County to address the impact of posttraumatic stress disorder and the tragic epidemic of veterans’ suicides. This program, which has been emulated across New York state, has been instrumental in reducing the number of veterans’ suicides in our community. All of us concerned about our veterans should know that the current Trump administration budget proposal and the proposed American Health Care Act threaten to do grave damage to access to health care for about 1.75 million of our veterans. Many do not receive care through the Department of Veterans Affairs for reasons ranging from proximity to VA health care providers, discharge status and disability rating. In 2014, only 40 percent of all veterans were enrolled in the VA health care system. Additionally, these services are rarely available to veterans’ family members. In 2015, roughly 1.75 million veterans had Medicaid coverage. Many veterans now rely on Medicaid or Medicare for supplemental coverage. Expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act expanded access to more
than 340,000 of our veterans. Proposed changes to Medicaid under the AHCA, including block grants to states, capping and cutting funding, threatens access to critical life-saving medical care. Even more troubling, elimination of mental health care funding, substance abuse treatment programs and elimination of protection for pre-existing conditions and mental health parity insurance coverage exponentially increase the risk to veterans who are already struggling. Congress and the president should make access to health care easier for our veterans, not propose draconian cuts that would decimate access to critically needed care. It is increasingly difficult to find consensus on important issues these days, especially in Washington, D.C. However, I hope we can still all agree that we all have a role to play in supporting our veterans. It is critical that we all demand Congress rejects these proposals and works together, across party lines and levels of government, to provide our veterans with the care and respect that they have earned.

OpiniOn Relative harmony on the country’s birthday
T
om and Tim grew up great friends. Soon after they learned how to spell, they figured out “i” and “o” were the only difference in their names. They liked their parents, teachers and country. The United States, as they were told, was the greatest country in the world. Their grandparents, as they’d find out on a rainy Sunday when they watched a show about By Daniel Dunaief TV a country in Europe that didn’t exist anymore, came from the same place. “We could be related,” Tim said. Tom thought Tim would be a much better relative than his Uncle Oswald, who wreaked of cologne and was always trying to give him

great advice about his life. Tom wanted to become a baseball player and he wanted to marry a woman some day who could make apple pies because he loved apple pies. Tim also wanted to become a baseball player, but his mother wanted him to play the trumpet. Tom also wanted to play an instrument, so he started playing the trumpet, too. Competition got the better of Tim and Tom. They stopped hanging out because they wanted to practice separately, so they could win the solo in the concert and so Heather, the best trombone player in the band, would notice them. When the music teacher, Mr. Holden, chose Tom to play the solo, Tim stopped talking to Tom, Heather and Mr. Holden. Tim’s mother didn’t understand why he was quiet and angry. She read books on how to let go while lending a hand. One day, Tim told her about the solo, so she hired the best music teacher in the area. Soon enough, Tim was better
than Tom on the trumpet. Everyone, including Mr. Holden, could tell, so the teacher gave the solo to Tim. Tom found out about the new trumpet teacher and he, too, became a student. Tim and Tom filled their block, night and day, with the sound of blaring trumpets. As the concert approached, Mr. Holden became dismayed at how the two trumpet players were trying to drown each other out. He sent Tom out of a rehearsal, which caused the lower brass and flutes to stop playing because they supported Tom. When Tom returned, however, the bickering continued, so Mr. Holden sent Tim out of the room, at which point the clarinets and percussion stopped playing. Mr. Holden removed the song with the trumpet solo from the concert. The boys blamed each other and, soon enough, an all-out war on social media broke out between Tim, Tom and the parts of the band that backed each of them. Mr. Holden threatened to cancel the concert, but the town wouldn’t
allow it, especially because the concert was the highlight of the July Fourth celebration. One day, when Tom was too tired to play the trumpet and he wanted to get away from his annoying uncle, he collapsed on the couch and turned on the TV. He watched a black-and-white film about people coming from the country where his grandparents were born. When the show ended, Tom got on his bike and rode to Mr. Holden’s house. He rang the bell. “Mr. Holden, can you please put the original song back in the program? I’d like Tim to play the solo,” Tom said. Mr. Holden smiled. “He just asked me if you could play the solo,” Mr. Holden said, opening the door to reveal Tim standing in the kitchen. When the concert ended, Tim and Tom were sure of one thing: They had to be related.
more than a million degrees Celsius while the rest of the sun’s surface registers 5,500 degrees Celsius. Why the extreme difference and why is it hotter farther away from the center? Astronomers will have only 2 minutes, 38 seconds to capture the sun’s secrets. But they can come yet again to Carbondale for the next eclipse, which is predicted for April 8, 2024. Coincidentally, that will be the 48th anniversary day of the founding of The Village Times. To share with you some interesting trivia I learned from the article, the sun goes through an 11-year cycle. During that period its activity level changes from mellow to being more turbulent. Bet you didn’t know that, unless you are an astronomer or a rabid stargazer. This year, the sun is on the down side, but during the next eclipse activity will be greater, with more sunspots and solar flares. Now that you know about the coming eclipse, if you didn’t already, perhaps you too can pass yourself off as a “magician.” That is what Hank
Morgan does in Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.” In that tale, Hank receives a severe blow on the head and when he awakes, he finds himself transported back in time from the 19th century to early medieval England and the world of King Arthur, Merlin and Sir Lancelot. Because Hank is dressed differently and speaks oddly, he is sentenced to burn at the stake. But his execution date, he knows, coincides with a historical eclipse, and he threatens King Arthur with blocking out the sun if he is set alight. As the eclipse begins, the king releases him from prison, and Hank becomes the second most powerful person in the kingdom. All of which gives me an idea. On Aug. 21, I will proclaim myself publisher of six newspapers, one website, several supplements and maps, and the executive producer of a full-length historic film called, “One Life to Give.” Now I call that magic. And if people don’t believe me, I will threaten on my birthday to blot out the sun.
The magic of a total eclipse
T
here will be a rare, special occasion on my birthday this year. The spectacle I refer to is the first total solar eclipse across the United States since 1918. Termed the Great American Eclipse, the moon will come between the Earth and the sun, blocking out daylight for about two-anda-half minutes on Aug. 21. According to a New York Times science article, “A Dark By Leah S. Dunaief Spotlight” by Nicholas St. Fleur, “The temperature will dip. Birds will hush. And a dazzling, pearly white halo will emerge, demanding everyone’s attention.” Carbondale, in Southern Illinois, population 26,000, has been deemed by NASA as “the point of greatest du-

ration.” This small college city is bracing for an onslaught of many thousands, who will want to experience that day in the most dramatic place. Hotels are booked, some at $499 per night with a three-night minimum, seats are selling in the 15,000 seat Southern Illinois University stadium for $25, and local business people are rubbing their hands in expectation of an economic bonanza amid municipal financial struggles. According to The Times, “People have called from Europe, Japan, Panama and Brazil” looking for accommodations. The city is planning other events leading up to the eclipse, including a music festival called Shadowfest. T-shirts, eclipse hats, coffee mugs and any other items that can carry a logo are selling. Among the visitors will be excited astronomers, who are fascinated by this rare opportunity to collate new data. With the total eclipse, the sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona, will be visible separately behind the moon. It has long been a mystery because its temperature is
