Since a solar farm on the site was proposed

by National Grid last June, it’s attracted much community opposition.

According to the project’s fact sheet, the solar farm would generate up to 72 megawatts of solar energy, provide power for more than 13,000 homes and raise millions of dollars in tax benefits.

“We are just so grateful for all the love and support we’ve received,” Rosman said. “It’s been so incredible and everyone has been generous and caring through everything.”

Annmarie Farris, with a donation of $50, wrote on the page, “From one Alabama freshman mom to another, I am praying for you and your family.”

Jodie Schreck, a Mount Sinai math teacher, with a donation of $100, wrote, “Liv, Miss Schreck loves you ... our hopes and prayers are with you and your family, awaiting to see your sweet smile.”

Hiz’s parents, who have been in the hospital at their daughter’s side every day, expressed gratitude for the generosity of those reaching out.

“John and I are just blown away by it; it just amazes me how many people care for her,” Lisa Hiz said. “I feel very blessed that people have gone out of their way, reached into their pockets and opened up their hearts to John and I ... we are so touched by everyone’s support and the messages we’ve received.”

John Hiz said it’s comforting to know they can lean on their community for support.

“This basically confirms just how great

The former Mount Sinai varsity cheerleader, who won the 2016 Universal Cheerleaders Association national championship, is a human environmental sciences major at the university and made the Dean’s List during her first semester with a GPA higher than 3.5.

Michael Rosman, Olivia Hiz’s uncle, said his niece is special.

“Olivia’s very outgoing and always the life of the party,” he said. “You always know when she’s in the room. She makes everybody laugh.”

John Rosman, her other uncle, who was at her bedside the first few days of her hospital stay, said the only thing he wants is for Hiz to be able to go home with her parents.

“We’re just a very close family and when one gets cut, the other bleeds,” he said. “This has been a difficult time for everybody and it’s just something you don’t expect to happen. Olivia’s parents have the support of family, the support of friends and the support of community.”

TBR takes home awards

BY ALex PeTrosKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com Times Beacon Record Newspapers’ six North Shore community papers received 12 awards in the New York Press Association’s 2016 Better Newspaper Contest this weekend.

At a NYPA conference held in Saratoga Springs, it was announced that Desirée Keegan, managing editor, sports editor, and editor of both Village Beacon Record and Times of Middle Country, won third place for sports writer of the year for her coverage of local high school and college teams. “Excellent all-around portfolio of work,” the judges wrote. “Detailed stories, smart choices for story subjects.” She finished third in 2013, and took first place in the 2015 standings.

Keegan also finished second in her division for a sports feature story on former Stony Brook University men’s basketball star Jameel Warney, who is now on the Texas Legends team as an affiliate player of the Dallas Mavericks.

“Well-told story,” the judges said of the piece. “I got the complete picture thanks to rich quotes from a variety of sources.”

Victoria Espinoza, editor of The Times of Huntington and Northport and the Times of Smithtown, came in second place in the best feature story category for her division.

“History and romance, a great combination for reporting,” a judge said, on her story about 16th century love letters exchanged between a couple in Huntington. A girl was forced to break up with the man, who in

turn committed suicide.

Alex Petroski, editor of The Port Times Record, won third place for best feature story in his division for a story judges described as “well crafted and well paced.” The piece involved local Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), who donated a kidney to a childhood friend.

Michael Tessler, Times Beacon Record director of media productions, won first places in his division for both best online dynamic ad and innovative ad project, which was centered around Culper Spy Day. A judge lauded him for a “perfect choice of transition element and timing to music.”

Tessler also received an honorable mention in the best advertising campaign category.

Beth Heller Mason, art and production director, received an honorable mention in the best small space ad category, which judges called “fun and refreshing.”

Freelancer Bill Landon received an honorable mention in his sports feature photo of the Kings Park girls’ volleyball team celebrating the Kingsmen’s sixth straight Suffolk County championship title win.

Wendy Mercier won first place for best special section cover for TBR’s 2016 Resolutions edition of Lifestyle magazine, which judges said is “eye-catching and invites the reader to pick up the magazine.” The company also earned second place for best advertising campaign for a “farm market” series, and an honorable mention in the special sections/ niche publications category.

Mount Sinai educator named distinguished teacher

By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Gary Kulik, an educator and coach for the last 30 years at Mount Sinai High School, has been named a “Distinguished Teacher of 2017” by the Harvard Club of Long Island.

“This award honors teachers who transform lives,” said Dr. Judith Esterquest, the Harvard Club of Long Island’s chair of the distinguished teachers selection committee. “Devoted teachers like Gary Kulik offer Long Island students deep expertise, extraordinary talents and countless hours of attention. By capturing the minds and imaginations of our children and preparing them for challenges that were unknown even a few decades ago, these teachers shape the future of our country.”

Kulik, the first from the district to be honored with the award, has been teaching calculus classes at Mount Sinai High School for

the past 26 years. Prior to, he taught in the middle school for a few years. A graduate of Stony Brook University with a BS in applied math, he enjoys coaching the high school and middle school math teams.

Kulik also did graduate work at Stony Brook, earning a Master’s Degree in Coaching and Athletics. He is known for having coached the middle school football team since joining the district, and for coaching the basketball team for 15 years. Whether in academics or on the field, he is always there to coach students. He speculates he has written over 1,000 letters of recommendation for his students.

Kulik has a son who is a land surveyor specializing in laser scanning and a daughter who is a high school biology teacher. He was an actuary for a short while before starting his teaching career.

“Mr. Kulik is a beloved figure throughout Mount Sinai; his room is full even when he

‘Gary Kulik consistently establishes a culture of respect and trust in his classroom, while he maintains high expectations for all of his students.’

— Gordon Brosdal is not teaching” said Patrick Hanaj, a Mount Sinai High School alum who is expected to graduate from Harvard College in 2020.

“He consistently has the most alumni visit him each year,” Hanaj added. “Kulik forms lifelong connections to his students through programs like the 10-Year Letter, in which he personally mails letters to alumni from their 12th grade selves.”

When Superintendent of Schools Gordan Brosdal learned of this award, he described Kulik as “taking great pride in his work and the Mount Sinai school district.”

“He believes the role of the teacher is the single greatest factor on maximizing student achievement,” Brosdal said. “Gary Kulik consistently establishes a culture of respect and trust in his classroom, while he maintains high expectations for all of his students. Gary’s classroom is engaging and exciting. Because he empowers his students to develop the ability to ‘think about their thinking’ and to learn independently. I enjoy visiting his classroom to watch him work his magic.”

Mount Sinai’s High School Principal, Robert Grable calls Kulik a consummate professional, adding the teacher plans and facilitates instructional designs that reflect a confidence in his students’ learning abilities.

“His students are active participants in the

Kulik will be one of 12 Long Island teachers honored at the Harvard Club of Long Island’s annual University Relations Luncheon on April 30. At the ceremony, the Harvard Club of Long Island will announce the Distinguished Teacher of 2017 who will also receive a scholarship for a “Harvard experience” at the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, Mass. Past winners of the scholarships have enhanced their teaching by sampling the resources available to Harvard students — meeting with faculty, visiting research laboratories, rare book archives, and specialty museums.

PersPectives A lesson in sugar, not so sweet (part two: metabolic stressor) Your turn

BY chRiS zeNYuh It’s time to connect sugars to metabolic dysfunction. As a quick reminder, sugar is a paired unit made up of glucose and fructose. These are the same two sugars (a term that can be used generically for the various related calorie-bearing sweeteners) that comprise high fructose corn syrup. Also notable is that starch is composed of long chains of glucose. Consuming too much of any or all of these substances puts stress on your body in numerous ways. Our individual metabolic vulnerabilities fall prey to this stress, as some individuals may develop diabetes and others cardiovascular disease, etc. This lesson will focus on the stress that too much glucose can place on

your metabolism.

Since your body can use glucose for energy, we are quick to accept this “blood sugar” as a good thing. We are equally inclined to believe the marketing that encourages us to buy more (sport drinks, pasta, etc.) especially if we also believe the claims that dietary fat is unhealthy. It turns out, however, high blood levels of glucose (more than two teaspoons) can be lethal.

Consuming a typical sugary beverage (or a bagel) threatens to introduce five to 10 times that amount.

Luckily, your body is equipped to protect itself from such assaults and in the case of a glucose “rush,” it calls upon cells buried within your pancreas to produce insulin.

Insulin works like a verbal command to your fat cells, directing them to remove glucose from your blood before it can reach dangerous levels. The more glucose consumed, the more insulin produced and the more your fat cells are called into action.

(Notably and ironically, high insulin levels actually reduce the ability of your muscle cells to absorb this energy, leaving them, and you, still hungry.)

These verbal directions, when repeated frequently throughout the day, become tiresome to your fat cells, which develop a sort of hearing loss described by the medical community as “insulin insensitivity.”

Progressively more insulin than before will be required to get the job done, crossing the line to a pre-diabetic state. Eventually, the cells become unable to “hear” the insulin commands (insulin resistance), a condition known as diabetes.

If that is not concerning enough, insulin also functions as an inflammatory signal to your body. Inflammation, a topic of its own, is a critical component of our health maintenance. It should work in concert with our natural repair mechanisms. But when out of balance, it inhibits our recovery from even normal wear and tear. One may develop arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and/or require extended recovery times for illness and injury.

Recent research places the blame for heart attacks on the inflammation that can develop along the walls of your arteries.

Ironically, the cholesterol that was once thought to be the culprit is now seen as

evidence of your body’s attempts to repair this inflammation.

Similarly, obesity, once viewed as a pre-cursor to diabetes, is now known to be just one symptom of glucose management malfunction that may occur as diabetes progresses. The acronym TOFI (Thin on the Outside, Fat on the Inside) has been coined to describe individuals who appear healthy, but have metabolic dysfunction that is dangerously real.

Our society has yet to learn the difference between looks and health. Many thin individuals are unknowingly pre-diabetic or at risk for heart disease. Even the acronym TOFI continues to promote the stereotype that fat is unhealthy. And yet, there are plenty of active, overweight individuals who are metabolically healthier than many of the thin people who judge them.

Whether absorbed from starchy foods or literally half of table sugar, glucose represents both an energy source and a cause of disease, depending on the amount and frequency of its consumption. Knowing how your body metabolizes glucose is an important step in being able to make better food and beverage choices for a healthier life. Choose well, live well.

“Chow for now!”

she said. “We don’t want this property to be developed.”

Andrea Spilka, president of Southampton Town Civic Coalition, who was among the 20 names on Amper’s proposal, echoed Bonner’s sentiment. “[The site] is probably one of the last waterfront forests we have on Long Island,” Spilka said. “I’m a firm believer in not developing and not cutting down trees to set up solar, so to me, a park where people can go and enjoy the natural beauty that we have is a worthwhile cause. And, certainly,

the alternatives are not good.”

Sid Bail, president of the Wading River Civic Association, said he didn’t think twice before signing the proposal.

“It just seemed like such a travesty and tragedy to consider that the only way we could have a renewable future was to eliminate this really unique, environmental parcel,” Bail said.

The Long Island Pine Barrens Society is holding a bus tour of the property Tuesday, April 18th, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. For more information, call 631-369-3300.

Amper recognized solar as an important renewable energy in combatting global warming, but said panels should be installed on roofs and parking lots rather than ecosystems.

“The land is so valuable, environmentally, that it should be preserved,” he added. “It’s just an extraordinary treasure that

has largely gone unappreciated because of this abandoned nuclear plant, a white elephant on the landscape.”

Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) has long been against the deforestation of the Shoreham site, and said turning it into a state park would be a win-win.

“There’s a dearth of recreational resources on Long Island, and so to have the public be able to access this property, take in its beauty, experience it, enjoy it, swim in the Long Island sound, boat, hike ...,”

Panthers top Mustangs in battle of undefeated teams

By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Not even halfway through the season, the Miller Place boys’ lacrosse team already has the same amount of wins that it ended with last year, turning its program worst record in 2016 into the best start in team history this year.

On April 10, in a battle of undefeated teams, the Panthers produced their seventh straight win, a 10-8 edging of Mount Sinai, to remain perfect at 7-0, with a 5-0 streak in Division II. Last season, Miller Place finished with a 7-9 overall record.

“We knew they were going to come prepared for us and play tough, so we stuck to our game plan and made them try to beat us,” Miller Place senior midfielder Anthony Beck said. “It feels good to come out and take the battle of undefeated teams, and take the win from a crosstown rival.”

Miller Place 10 Mount Sinai 8

Miller Place junior attack Anthony Seymour put the Panthers on the board less than a minute into the game with a quick shot to the top left corner, and Beck followed him up with a shot straight up the middle after the ball was rotated around the cage while Miller Place looked for an opening.

“We pushed the ball really well, we possessed for the most part and we played as a team,” Beck said. “We didn’t try to do too much and we stuck together.”

The Panthers continued to pounce with a balanced attack, as next to light up the scoreboard was junior attack Patrick Doyen off a pass from Seymour.

Miller Place forced several turnovers, and Mount Sinai called for two timeouts in the first to try and shift the tempo. With 3:35 on the clock, Mount Sinai senior midfielder Jason Shlonsky rocketed a rebound past an unprepared Matt Leen for the Mustangs’ first point.

A minute later, Beck added another unassisted goal for a 4-1 advantage at the end of the first 12 minutes.

“It’s been unbelievable how we’ve came together since the first day of practice,” Beck said. “This is a group we’ve been waiting for.

We’ve been playing really well together.”

Miller Place senior attack Jack Walsh scored next, laying out across the front of the net and scoring while in midair. Head coach Keith Lizzi said with the loss of senior midfielder Kevin Gersbeck to injury, he told his team everyone needs to up their game to fill the hole, and they’re doing it.

“Jack stepped up — and he’s been doing that all year — he’s one of the top scorers in the county,” Lizzi said. “And Anthony Beck has just been so consistent between the faceoffs, defense and offense. He’s our No. 1 utility guy out on the field.”

Mount Sinai seniors Nicholas Cesario and Nicholas Rose closed the gap, before Beck, grabbing possession off the faceoff, re-extended the margin with his hat trick goal, bringing the score to 6-3 at the halftime break.

“It felt good to dominate the faceoff ‘x,’ get my team some extra possessions and score some goals,” he said. “We’re undefeated right now, we’re taking it one game at a time and we hope to keep it that way.”

Miller Place had a slower second half.

They were outscored by Mount Sinai 5-4, but always remained a few goals ahead. Leen, the senior goalkeeper who finished with 12 saves, helped preserve the lead and Walsh also chipped in with two goals and two assists.

“It’s my last year, so I’m trying to get out and do as much as I can,” Walsh said. “We were a little sloppy at times, but we’re all best friends, so there’s a lot of chemistry here.”

Mount Sinai wasn’t without its shining stars in its hard-fought comeback effort.

Shlonsky finished with three goals, sophomore midfielder Robert DeMeo added two goals and two assists, and junior attack Joe Pirreca finished as the assist leader, scoring once and aiding in three others.

Lizzi said although it hasn’t been easy to

complete an already total turnaround from last year, the main motivation has been the Panthers desire for revenge from last year.

They’ve already beaten some of those teams this year, like Comsewogue, Sayville and Elwood-John Glenn.

“We’re trying to take it one game at a time, and although the pressure continues to build, this is a group that’s handled it,” he said, adding that with seven Division I college commits and three-year starters, the experience has paid back dividends.

Harborfields is next on the schedule, and revenge is on tap after Miller Place lost to the Tornadoes in double overtime last year. The Panthers will travel April 12 to compete in the 11 a.m. matchup.

“Certain games you have circled on the calendar, and this year, that’s one of them,” Lizzi said. “We won a lot of tight games this year that we lost last year, so these kids are playing with a little chip on their shoulder — with something to prove.”

Signing with purpose Shoreham-Wading River High School student Zeb Berliner has taken the skills he learned in his sign language courses to the next level — he is now signing at his church and will sign the national anthem at the 2017 high school graduation ceremony.

Berliner began signing three years ago when he first enrolled in Katherine Ziegler’s sign language class to fulfill his language requirement.

“I didn’t speak much as a kid, and thought this might be a good class for me,” he said.

During the first day, Berliner discovered he has a passion for sign language, which has been taught at the high school since 1997.

In addition to sharing his love of sign language at his church and at graduation, Berliner plans to major in American Sign Language.

He will be attending Suffolk County Community College in the fall.

Berliner is not the first student who attended Shoreham-Wading River

High School who has decided to take sign language and turned it into a career.

Former school graduates have gone on to become

teachers of the hearing-impaired, speech pathologists, American Sign Language teachers and interpreters for the deaf.

As part of the Miller Place school district’s ongoing character education initiatives, students at the Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School created a wall of positivity outside the school’s cafeteria.

The wall features a collage of colorful paper, each of which has a different positive message written by every teacher and student in the school. More than 600 students signed a pledge to “start with hello” and promote a positive culture of kindness. A full week of daily activities

was planned around the message.

The purpose of this project was to bring smiles to the faces of students, teachers and staff members throughout the school.

Examples of the positive Post-It notes on the kind wall included: make everyone smile; everyone has something nice to do or say; if you can’t be a pencil to write someone’s happiness then be a nice eraser to remove their sadness; the word “impossible” is really I’m possible; and never give up.

Decker Sound Beach School in the Miller Place school district gave thirdgrade students an opportunity to show their appreciation for members of the United States military, both veterans and those serving active duty. As part of the program, students in Ms. Brenner’s class created a care package for the teacher’s brother-in-law, U.S. Navy Petty Officer Joseph Monaco, who is currently deployed overseas in Mahe, Seychelles on the USS Comstock LSD-45. Ms. Brenner’s class wrote letters about the importance of servicemen and servicewomen and created a huge “Thank You” poster.

Local leaders honor Miller Place Eagle Scouts Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) attended the Boy Scouts of America Court of Honor ceremony for James Gannon, Nicholas Mammina, Tyler Rouse and Charles Smith from Troop 204 in Miller Place. The event was held at Miller Place High School.

In order to become Eagle Scouts, each Boy Scout had to earn 21 merit badges, and undergo a lengthy review process prior to completing a community service project.

Gannon’s project was constructing two picnic tables for Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson. Mammina’s project consisted of making shelving for food storage at the St. Louis DeMontfort R.C. Church food pantry in Sound Beach. Rouse built handicapped accessible picnic tables with benches for the Cedar Beach Nature Center in Mount Sinai, and Smith constructed a storage shed for the American Legion Wilson Ritch Post 432 in Port Jefferson Station.

“Congratulations to James, Nicholas, Tyler and Charles for completing their projects and achieving the rank of Eagle Scout,” Bonner said. “Boy Scouts are the leaders of tomorrow, and from meeting these outstanding young men, I can say that we’ll be in good hands.”

Since the award was first presented in 1912, no more than four percent of all scouts have attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America. Since its intro-

“I would like to commend the Eagle Scouts of Troop 204 for their enthusiasm, skills and commitment to improving our

community,” Anker said. “May their actions serve as a model to their peers and inspire them to continue their adventures in scouting. I thank them for their local contributions and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.”

Lots of socks: Students and

staff members throughout the Rocky Point school district sported “Lots of Socks” March 21 in support of World Down Syndrome Day. This day is internationally recognized since a third copy of the 21st chromosome signifies the condition. Students and staff wore colorful socks to raise awareness and create conversation about Down syndrome, diversity and inclusion.

Happy Easter Sunday

We may overlook some of the important things in life when we are carried away by other things that keep us occupied.

It is good to step back and slow down so we can recall all of the things we should be grateful for.

Easter is a good time for recollection and being thankful for all the blessings that we have in our lives.

Happy Easter!

McCarrick’s Dairy closes doors after 71 years

By Rita J. Egan Rita@tbRnewspapeRs.com For 71 years, McCarrick’s Dairy has been a staple for Rocky Point residents. So it was no surprise when owners Hugh McCarrick, Kevin McCarrick and Bridget Idtensohn announced through a social media post they were closing the store and selling the family business, the news spread rapidly, and was met by many with nostalgia and sadness.

On the morning of Friday, April 7, the last day before the sibling owners retired, friends and longtime patrons filled the store to remember old times, while flipping through photo albums.

Among those customers was Neil Maguire, who was having a bit of fun dressed in a cow costume while holding a double-sided sign that read: “McCarrick’s don’t close. Cows in protest. Cows in udder confusion” and “Cows in protest. Cows in disbelief. Don’t close.”

Maguire, who grew up in Port Jefferson, said he remembered when the McCarrick family would deliver milk to homes, and coming to the store with his family when the nowowners’ father Tom ran the small grocery.

“Mr. McCarrick would give us lollipops or a fruit juice to drink while my parents were

running around shopping,” Maguire said. ter.’ I never worked a cash register. Boy, was He said it was McCarrick’s Dairy that in- I nervous.”

The goodbyes culminated when Brookhavspired him to go into the milk delivery business, and he could always count on the family en Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (CRocky Point) and town Supervisor Ed Romaine for advice.

Like many who filled “They’ll all be missed,” the store, while she was sad Kathy DiPierro, a cousin to see the store close, she was of the McCarricks, looked at happy for the owners. the photo albums reminisc“It’s so great that they are ing about her grandparents leaving on their own terms homestead which once stood enjoy their retirement, not — Jane Bonner to where McCarrick Medical because they were forced out Park is today.

The McCarricks have been an integral part myself in that store,” DiPierro said. “He said, ‘It’s OK, this is how you work a cash regis- of the community.

The family has been part of the Miller Place-Rocky Point St. Patrick’s Day Parade since 1950, after Tom McCarrick and other local businessmen founded the Friends of St. Patrick not-for-profit organization that fundraises for the historic event. Kevin McCarrick, Tom’s son, also served two terms on the Brookhaven Town Board from 2004 to 2007.

Hugh, Kevin’s brother, said his grandparents emigrated from Ireland to Rocky Point in 1911. The couple had a few cows and grew vegetables on their homestead. It was in 1946 when his parents, Tom and Phyllis, decided to start a milk delivery business.

The land parcel, where the current McCarrick’s Dairy store was opened in 1984, holds many memories for the family. The house on the west side of the parking lot is where Tom and Phyllis raised nine children; the dry

‘It’s so great that they are leaving on their own terms to enjoy their retirement.’

cleaners that sits toward the front was once an office and the original store that opened in 1960; and the thrift store toward the back of the parking lot was once a four-bay garage where the milk trucks were housed.

Hugh McCarrick said all of the children worked in the store at one point or another, and through the years every one of his children, nieces and nephews worked in the store.

“We grew up in the business working side by side with my dad and mom,” he said.

“We met in 1970, and he put me right to work,” his wife Miriam joked.

His older brothers delivered milk to homes, and later he and Kevin delivered to schools and local shops like bakeries. When they were in their early 20s, the two became more involved in the business.

But as times changed, the business changed.

“In the ’70s supermarkets started coming out, and families were having two cars,” Hugh McCarrick said. “So now the wife who stayed home, she had her newfound freedom, so she would go out and buy her own milk and stuff.”

One of Hugh’s earlier memories was when

Mccarrick’s Dairy Continued from page A15 milk bottles would come back and still have milk left in them. They couldn’t be returned to the processing plant like that, so the children would clean them out. He said if there was sour milk in there, and you pushed down on the lid, it would shoot out.

“To this day I can’t eat cottage cheese,” he joked.

Despite the sour milk, the years working with his family have been positive ones. His brother agreed.

“We were very fortunate in that all of our family worked in this business from my older brothers right down to my younger sister, Bridget,” Kevin McCarrick said. “It was nice to have a family business that everyone participated in.”

Their sister, who started working at the store 35 years ago, said the outpouring of good wishes touched her.

“You go to work and you don’t think much about it,” she said. “To have every-

During the last week, she said she heard a number of heartwarming stories about her father.

“Your father delivered milk, eggs and butter to my house every day, and never charged us until my father got back on his feet,” she said one man told her. “I’m an adult now, and I realize how important that was.”

According to the McCarricks, the business will be leased to another food store and completely renovated. While they may be retiring

from the store business, the owners will still manage the property.

As the store closed at 6 p.m. on its final day, former employees were invited to join the McCarricks for dinner. Family from near and far also gathered to bid farewell.

Hugh McCarrick’s daughter Kimmie Wheeler flew up from South Carolina the night before to be part of the store closing.

She said she knew she needed to send off the store with her family.

“This is my whole life,” she said. “I started working here when I was a teenager and

worked here with my cousins and my whole family. It was such a great way to be part of the family and the community.”

Her sister Kendra Beavis said the younger family members’ careers have taken different directions than their parents, becoming teachers, graphic designers, getting involved in law enforcement and various other things, but said she couldn’t picture anyone else taking the place of her father and the rest of the family.

“Even if someone were to take this over ... they did such an amazing job,” she said. “I don’t know if anyone could ever fill their shoes.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

Reflecting on the climate change issue

Photo from Michael Tessler

The TBR News MEdia staff smiles during the People of the Year dinner.

Think we’re missing something? Tell us Last weekend the TBR News Media staff trekked up to Saratoga Springs for the New York Press Association’s spring conference. The two-day event was full of lectures from leaders and innovators in our field, and we left feeling reinvigorated as we headed back to our Setauket newsroom.

One of the lectures, called “Community 360,” focused on throwing out the playbook for covering community news and figuring out how to best cover the changing and diverse areas we live in with new technology.

The lecture was quite an eye-opener for us and made the editorial staff self-evaluate the level of coverage we’re providing to our readers.

So this is where you come in. If you think there is an area, an issue, an event or a group we’re not covering sufficiently enough — or even at all — we want you to reach out to us. We want to know about every single issue our readers think is important. Of course, there are going to be moments where you know more than we do.

So share anything and everything you think we might be missing.

If we already covered something, but you think a part of the story was left out, let us know. We want to provide the best service we can, because we’re in this business to inform our readers about the most important news going on in their area. You’re our eyes and ears, and our storytelling would get us nowhere if it weren’t for the information, the sources, the news and the comments you provide.

Egan, Rita@ tbrnewspapers.com For news in the Huntington and Smithtown areas — Victoria Espinoza, victoria@tbrnewspapers.com

Letters … We welcome your letters. They should be no longer

than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste.

In response to The Village Beacon Record’s March 30 edition: Thank you for publishing such impressive articles on the probable impact of global warming on Long Island, in the March 30 edition.

It is so tragic that we have a president who has assembled an administration intent on pretending that global warming is not happening, and even going so far as to claim that global warming is a hoax. The Republican Party has a lot to be proud of and an excellent track record on environmental issues — the creation of the national parks system, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act — all done during Republican administrations. Under Ronald Reagan, chlorofluorocarbons were banned to protect the ozone layer. Under George H. W. Bush, a cap and trade program was put in place to limit sulfur emissions that cause acid rain. The current national (not local) Republican office holders are betraying the legacy of their party’s environmental stewardship.

Here in the 1st Congressional District of New York, our representative in Congress is Lee Zeldin.

Mr. Zeldin has taken action to prevent the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from approving the dumping

of dredging material in Long Island Sound, and has voiced concern about nitrogen pollution in Long Island’s water. He has spoken of the importance of keeping our drinking water clean. That’s great.

However, I have not been able to find any clear statement from Mr. Zeldin with regard to whether he feels that global warming is occurring or not. What is clear is Mr. Zeldin’s voting record. In my view, Lee Zeldin has consistently voted on the wrong side of practically every environmental bill that’s been introduced since taking office. Mr. Zeldin has voted to approve joint resolutions voicing disapproval of EPA rules limiting emissions from power plants (like coal-fired power plants in the Midwest that we are downwind from.) I have read that a third of the nitrogen pollution in Long Island’s waters is from power plants in the Midwest.

Lee Zeldin is a great guy in a lot of ways, but it is the voting record that counts. We need for our representative in Congress to serve as a counter to the anti-environmental agenda we see coming out of Washington. Unless Mr. Zeldin makes a complete turnaround on the issues I have raised, we’ll be needing to find someone else to represent us.

Thank you again for the excellent coverage your newspaper has provided on environmental issues, the features you publish on education, articles highlighting the work being done by members of the community in scientific research and a whole range of other things that are being done in our community, like the Rails to Trails project, for example. I always look forward to reading The Village Beacon Record. It is a big asset to our community.

Drew Tyler Shoreham

The community needs a safe place to ride In response to the April 6 article in The Village Beacon Record: “Legislator gathers input on Rails to Trails plans.”

On April 5, at Miller Place High School, I attended an informational meeting for the Port Jefferson - Wading River Rails to Trails Pedestrian/Bicycle Path.

I am a Miller Place resident in favor of the trail, and I’ll tell you why. In October 2008, on a beauti-

ful Friday autumn afternoon, my 14-year-old son was riding his bike and was hit by a car at the exact same spot and crosswalk where Nico Signore was hit and killed this past February.

My son was rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital, where he spent 10 days, having sustained a broken femur, requiring surgery for a steel rod to be inserted into his thigh, a broken cheekbone, a broken eye socket and severe facial road rash. He was out of school for two months. When we heard of Nico’s death, all of those memories of eight-and-a-half years ago came flooding back, and I wept for that family, knowing all too well what they were going through.

When my son, now 22, asked me, “Why did Nico die and I got to live?”, what was I to tell him?

I myself am an avid bike rider, riding between eight and 10 miles a day, trying to stay off the main roads and only using side streets.

Three years ago, I was hit by a car pulling out of its driveway, which bumped my rear tire as I passed

behind. It knocked the bike down, with me on it, but I was able to get back up and ride away, shaking and sobbing thinking how much worse it could have been.

My former neighbor was hit by an elderly gentleman driving his car, while riding her bike. He was pulling out of a side street onto North Country Road and didn’t see her crossing in front of him until it was too late. Luckily, she was able to get up and walk away without serious injury, but her bike was unrideable.

How many more bike or pedestrian accidents have there been in the area that have gone unreported, only because a death wasn’t involved? Having this bike/ pedestrian trail will save lives and prevent countless injuries that are guaranteed to happen without this bike path. So yes, I am definitely in favor of the Rails to Trails project, and for good reason. Even if it saves just one life, it’s worth it.

hen I was in college, I wrote an essay in a seminar. In such a small class, we read everyone else’s writings each week and needed to be prepared to share our observations or else face the ignominy of our teacher either excusing us from the room or glaring at us until we cracked.

One of the other writers had written this spectacular story about four people at a dinner party. She had moved the reader through the thoughts of each of the characters, until she got to the fourth person, whose social anxiety receded when he started choking.

him until he read her vexed expression and retreated to the kitchen. Separated from the group, he choked to death.

The ending was so powerful that I was sure my prose was inferior.

When my turn came, I waited through the usual polite beginning, as my classmates shared what they thought worked. Great, I thought, it won’t take long before we transition to the unnerving category of “what could he have done better.”

It took some time before people starting quibbling with my choice of words. Certainly, I could maneuver through the minor discomfort of a new word here or a different turn of phrase there.

Professor Brilliance sat in his green corduroy pants, with his oversized left foot rising and falling diagonally above his right knee to his rhythm, tilting his head to the side, awaiting a worthy insight.

“Well,” he said, scanning the room slowly, “has anyone spotted clichés?”

Oh no! Clichés? Clichés! I thought I had scrubbed out the clichés. I

quickly scanned words that floated unevenly above the page, hoping to find any and expose them before anyone else did.

His foot stopped, and so did my breathing.

“No,” he nodded slowly, “I didn’t see any, either.”

This had to be only a temporary respite before the scissors started slicing.

“Now, let’s go over the introduction to this fine piece,” he said.

Was that sarcasm? Did he mean that it was fine, or was he acknowledging its shortcomings?

As we went line by line through the piece, my writing held up to the scrutiny. Some of my classmates even defended a few phrases, suggesting that they found them perfectly fine just as they were.

The professor saved his lone arrow for his final remark.

“This is a solid piece of writing,” he said, before adding, “for someone your age.”

And there it was, ladies and gentlemen. The backhanded compliment

that sent me back to the children’s table, wondering what the adults might be discussing.

Now that I’m older than Professor Brilliance was when he shared that line, I have considered whether he had a point and the answer is, yes and no.

My experiences have changed my perspective. I recognize the value of history, even if I despised memorizing dates and names for a test. I also understand the Chinese devotion to their elders, not because I’m older, but because I have an increasing appreciation for all the decisions my parents and their generation made.

At the same time, when I hear the ideas my children share, I don’t minimize them in the context of their shorter lives. Instead, I recognize the wisdom that comes from their experiences in a handheld techno world they maneuver through more deftly than I. All these years later, I guess I’d have a comeback to my professor’s observation. “Maybe you’re right,” I’d say, “or, maybe, I’m young enough to know better.”
