Town

West Meadow Beach parking lot closed for renovations, new county park path soon

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM While some residents are dieting and exercising in anticipation of the summer, a town beach is getting a makeover of its own.

The Town of Brookhaven will temporarily close the parking lot of West Meadow

Beach in Stony Brook until Memorial Day weekend, May 25-27, according to a press release from the Town of Brookhaven Parks, Recreation and Sports and Cultural Resources Department. On March 18, the town began work on new curbs, sidewalks, plantings and pavilion renovations as part of the town’s parks capital improvement program. During the parking lot closure, residents will be permitted to park along Trustees Road.

Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said the work will address necessary repairs to maintain the park that she called “cherished” by the community.

“West Meadow Beach is not only a beautiful, relaxing recreation location, but also an environmental marvel,” Cartright said.

“Each year, I work with the Parks Department to continue my commitment to making improvements at West Meadow Beach.”

In 2017, the town refurbished the bathrooms’ interiors and exteriors and added new outdoor shower pedestals and a lifeguard tower, according to Ed Morris, town parks commissioner.

In the near future, Suffolk County will begin work at Old Field Farm to create a

walking path that will lead to the beach, according to Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). She said the goal is to finish the trail by Memorial Day. Hahn said there will be a pedestrian entrance on West Meadow Road on the eastern side of the farm, and the trail will run along the creek and come out on Trustees Road before visitors enter the walking section of the path. She said she’s excited about the location due to the beautiful views of the creek and historic farm.

“This is part of my efforts to make our public lands accessible to our community for recreational and respite enjoyment,” she said.

In the past, the legislator has spearheaded initiatives for a parking lot and walking path at Forsythe Meadow Woods County Park in Stony Brook and a parking lot at McAllister County Park in Belle Terre.

The Old Field Farm trail will be closed during the six horse shows that take place at the location throughout the year so as not to disturb the horses; however, the park will be open for the public to enjoy.

For more information about the town’s capital improvement project at West Meadow Beach, residents can call 631-451-8696.

Veterans organizations, Hahn closer to goal to update memorials An effort spearheaded by veteran service organizations and Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) is nearing its fundraising goal to give nation’s newest veterans the respect they’ve earned.

The effort, dubbed Operation Remember, which looks to update four existing war memorials located in Port Jefferson, Setauket and Stony Brook to commemorate the sacrifices made by the latest generations of America’s service members, has been decisive thanks to the support of the community, according to a press release from Hahn’s office. To date, $14,400 of the estimated $25,000 has been received by the Veterans Memorial Fund established through a partnership between the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts located in Setauket, Stony Brook and Port Jefferson Station, the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University and Hahn. Organizers are asking for a final push in donations to complete the mission of expanding these sites to honor those who served during the Cold War, the Gulf wars and the Global War on Terror by this Memorial Day. “Support for this effort has been incredible,” Hahn said. “In only a few months we have raised more than half of what is needed to make this lasting tribute to the sacrifices of our local heroes a reality. Our goal is to have work completed

by Memorial Day, a day on which we pause to remember and reflect upon the lives of those who have given theirs in order for us to freely live ours. Raising the remaining $10,600 needed in the next few weeks will ensure the work will be complete in time for this solemn day.”

Among those who have already answered the call are Purple Heart sponsors Realty Three LLC/Ridgeway Plaza LLC and Bruce Acker. Ardolino Group Realty Connect USA and Friends of Kara Hahn became Meritorious Service Medal sponsors, while Burner Law Group, P.C. earned the Commendation Medal and Moose Lodge 1379 of Port Jefferson donated at the Recognition Ribbon level.

Campolo, Middleton & McCormick, LLP also committed to a $500 sponsorship.

“Our community is very patriotic,” said Carlton “Hub” Edwards, commander of Post 1766 in Setauket. “I am certain the community will step up to help fund this Veterans Memorial Project to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and have yet to be fully acknowledged.”

Last fall, memorial coalition members joined together to ensure veterans of our nation’s more recent wars would receive the recognition they have earned on those foreign battlefronts back here on the homefront. The partnership, through its Veterans Memorial Fund, hopes to update the memorials to include new plaques and

monument stones to be inscribed with the names of wars since Vietnam at memorials located in Stony Brook Village, on the Setauket Village Green, at the Setauket Veterans Memorial Park and along the Port Jefferson harbor front.

“This project is in recognition of all veterans who served in all wars,” said Bill Wolf, commander, American Legion Wilson Ritch

Post 432 in Port Jefferson.

“For those who served and gave so much, we Americans can only say ‘thank you,’” said Jack Gozdziewski, member of American Legion Post 432 and VFW Post 3054. “Through our local veterans memorials our communities show our love of country and respect to those who gave all. America’s freedom can never be taken for granted, veterans can never be forgotten.”

“The memorial is important lest we forget the sacrifices made and what we fought for,” said Tim Still, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3054 in East Setauket.

Those wishing to donate, can make checks payable to and mail to Veterans Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 986, Port Jefferson Station, NY 11776.

Once the fundraising goal has been met, organizers will contract with a local stonemason to update the monuments with individual designs for each of the four memorials.

“Installation cannot take place until our fundraising is complete, and the monuments are paid for in full,” Hahn said. “We’d like to meet our fundraising goals soon, with the hopes of having the monuments installed and completed for Memorial Day.” For more information about Operation Remember and sponsorship opportunities still available, visit www.americanlegionwilsonritchpost432.org/index.php?id=101.

School district stays within tax cap, announces sustainability task force

BY ANDREA PALDY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM As school administrators across the state begin to think about next year’s budget, Three Village Central School District officials announced last week that the district will not have to cut staffing or programs to stay within its 2.53 percent cap on the tax levy increase.

Jeff Carlson, assistant superintendent for business services, said the 2019-20 district budget will be about a 2.4 percent increase on last year’s $209.8 million budget. Decisions on staffing and programs will be based on enrollment and student need, not on the budget, Carlson said at the March 13 school board meeting.

Though the assistant superintendent is not expecting an increase in aid from the state, he can anticipate the district’s higher expenses, such as health insurance and retirement costs.

While retirement costs are decreasing this year, health insurance will rise 2 percent, Carlson said. Because the district is part of a self-insured consortium with a couple of other school districts, the rate is lower than the New York State health insurance plan, he said.

This year, districts in Suffolk County are

required to distribute budget documents in both English and Spanish, based on the percentage of residents in the county who speak the languages, Carlson said.

In other news, Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich announced the formation of a districtwide sustainability task force.

Members of the task force, which will convene in September, will include Pedisich,

SBU students find out first jobs as MDs On March 15, 121 fourth-year medical students at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University found out for the first time where they will match to physician residency programs, launching their medical careers. SBU faculty members, friends and family members were on hand to celebrate with the students.

Match Day is a nationwide event each year when thousands of medical students from around the country take their first major step into medicine by securing residencies.

According to SBU spokesman Greg Filiano, 16 students matched to programs at Stony Brook

Medicine, and 48 percent who matched will be practicing in New York State for their residency training. A record 44 of the 121 matching students — 36 percent — matched to one of the top 20-ranked residency programs in the country.

“Match Day at Stony Brook is once again a great success, and the overall match for the Class of 2019 is a testament to the students’ hard work and talents, and our school’s commitment to cutting-edge medical education and clinical and research training,” said Dr. Kenneth Kaushansky, senior vice president of Health Sciences and dean of the Renaissance School of Medicine.

Carlson, director of facilities James O’ Hagan, school board trustee Irene Gische, as well as a principal, a teacher and a parent from each of the district’s schools. School-based teams will work with the schools’ PTAs to determine each building’s plans for sustainability, Pedisich said.

A group of parents from Setauket Elementary School prompted the task force.

Two parents from the group spoke at the February board meeting, asking that the district forms a committee to introduce more ecofriendly practices, and educate students about reducing waste and being more conscious of their environmental footprint. As a result of their advocacy, Setauket Elementary has become the first school to begin using reusable utensils in its lunchrooms.

Last week, two more Setauket parents discussed the importance of outdoor time and physical exercise for students of all ages. Thali Lapidus, mother of three students in the district, pointed to the “mental health crisis” suffered by upper-grade students, saying they feel pressure because of grades and tests, and don’t have time to be outside or with their friends.

She said they, along with younger students, would benefit mentally and physically from

time outside in an outdoor classroom, or taking part in yoga, caring for a community garden or even recycling.

“The kids want to be involved,” she said.

“They want to make their schools a better place, and they want to connect with the planet.”

Irene Moshkovich, a mother of two, agreed.

She added that now secondary students have district-issued Chromebooks, there is “much more engagement with electronics and not enough time spent outside.” She, too, wants the district to find ways to promote more time outside during the school day.

This is an issue that the district has been addressing, Pedisich said. She and Kevin Scanlon, assistant superintendent for educational services, have been working with elementary parents who are part of a recess focus group, she said. They have been looking at how to better use the courtyards at the elementary schools so that students have more opportunities to engage in outdoor activities throughout the year, Pedisich said.

“We are excited about working with the community,” the superintendent said about the efforts to expand courtyard use and address sustainability concerns.

Obituary

Former E. Setauket resident, SBU journalism teacher Alvin F. Oickle

BY MARILYN FABBRICANTE DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Alvin F. Oickle, 93, died March 12 in Groton, Connecticut, surrounded by his family.

Al, as he liked to be called, was a former resident of East Setauket who was an associate director, then acting director, of the University News Service office at Stony Brook University, where he also taught journalism. A native of Massachusetts, he was born Nov. 8, 1925, in Brighton. He later moved to Greenfield, Massachusetts, and graduated from the local high school as class president in 1943.

A veteran of World War II, he served in the U.S. Army in the 69th Infantry Division. He was in combat in England, Belgium — including the Battle of the Bulge, France and Germany, where the “fighting 69th” captured the city of Leipzig.

Remaining in Germany for six months after the war ended, he was reassigned to the U.S. Army Office of Information, Education, and Orientation and began his 70-year career as a journalist, editor, writer and author.

In 1945, Al wed Irene Mary Welsh, and they settled in Greenfield where Al took a position as a reporter for the Greenfield Recorder Gazette, in the Turners Falls bureau. Over the course of 34 years, Al worked his way up from reporter to become editor of the daily newspaper and author of the weekly column “One Man’s World.” He retired from the Recorder in 1980.

Al and Irene had seven children: Lori Oickle (Perry), Marilyn Oickle (Fabbricante), Kerry Oickle (Sallee), Matthew Scott Oickle, Peter Oickle, Patrice Oickle (Alamed) and

Alison Oickle. To support his large family, Al took a second job, joining the University of Massachusetts in Amherst in 1964 as a professor of journalism and student adviser to the Collegian, the student newspaper. Four days a week, after leaving the Greenfield Recorder Gazette, he drove to Amherst to teach journalism and advise students on writing news stories. Al spent 16 years at the University of Massachusetts, and he also taught journalism at Greenfield Community College from 1965 to 1966.

Al had notable affiliations and recognitions throughout his journalism career. He was the director and education committee chair of the New England Society of Newspaper Editors, a member of the Organization of American Historians, the U.S. Naval Institute and the Alpha Phi Gamma Honorary Journalism Foundation.

He was the founder of the Southwestern New England Community of Suburban Editors and recognized as the National College Newspapers Adviser of the Year in 1974. He was president of the Franklin County Fair in the 1960s, a yearly traditional New England fair that attracts thousands from the region. Al was a keynote speaker at numerous conferences and hosted a radio show at WHAI radio station in Greenfield, as well as in Stony Brook. He had the distinction of interviewing then-Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) at the launch of his presidential run and was invited to and attended the inauguration of President Gerald Ford (R).

One of the highlights of his career was author Dan Brown’s message to him at a book signing, calling Al “a fellow scribe.” Brown was the author of “The DaVinci Code.” In addition, Al

Alvin F. Oickle Photo from Marilyn Fabbricante

was an accomplished pianist who played by ear and enjoyed playing the piano until his passing.

Following his retirement from the Greenfield Recorder Gazette and the University of Massachusetts, Al and Irene moved to East Setauket. Al took a position as associate director, then acting director, of the University News Service office at Stony Brook University, where he also taught journalism and wrote two books for the university on proper editing and grammar styles. He retired from Stony Brook in 1987 and moved back to Massachusetts with Irene, settling in Cape Cod. After losing Irene, his wife of 49 years, Al remained on the Cape and began what was to be a prolific period. He researched, wrote and began publishing historical novels. He was married a second time to Lois Reeves, of Everett and Cape Cod, both in Massachusetts, and considered his stepdaughter, Heather, as one of his own. Lois preceded Al in death in 2000.

A widower for the second time, Al spent the

next 10 years in Florida where he continued writing and publishing historical novels, completing a total of nine novels. In addition, he published two posthumous books of poetry written by his late son, Scott Oickle. Al returned to the Northeast in 2013 at the age of 87 and resumed writing his popular column “One Man’s World” for the monthly newsletter at Windham Falls Estates in Groton, where he was a resident.

One of his greatest pleasures was watching sports, college and professional, and most especially seeing his beloved Boston Red Sox win the World Series four times in 15 seasons.

Despite all of his accomplishments and achievements, the center of Al’s life was his large, extended family. In addition to his seven children, he considered as his children as well his stepdaughter, Heather Reeves; daughters-in-law Janell Oickle Bauer (Scott, deceased), Christina Oickle (Peter), and sons-in-law Jack Fabbricante (Marilyn) and Jim Alamed (Patrice).

When Al became a grandfather for the first time, he was dubbed Beepa by his granddaughter.

The name stuck and for 38 years, he was called Beepa by all 20 of his grandchildren and his 25 great-grandchildren. It may seem difficult to keep track of 45 grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, yet Al knew the personality and interests of each and every one and was happiest when interacting with them.

Services will be held at Our Lady of Peace R.C. Church in Turners Falls, Massachusetts, Saturday, March 23, at 11 a.m. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Center for Hospice Care, 227 Dunham St., Norwich, CT 06360.

County

Bellone introduces legislation to revitalize shellfish industry

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Long Island has become synonymous with shellfish farming, though in recent years it has become increasingly difficult for farmers to sell and market their products.

With that in mind, County Executive Steve Bellone (D) launched a pilot program March 11 designed to remove the red tape to assist local oyster farmers by allowing vendors to expand their current retail opportunities.

“Shellfish farming has been an important part of Long Island’s heritage for decades, and plays an important role in cleaning our waterways and promoting economic activity,” Bellone said.

He will be introducing legislation to implement an annual temporary event permit for vendors of shellfish grown or harvested in Long Island waters. The permit will not include fees for the first two years.

“The introduction of this legislation will go a long way in removing barriers that have made it difficult for our farmers to sell and market their locally sourced products,” the county executive said.

Under current regulations, shellfish farmers

Clams at the Town of Brookhaven’s Mariculture Facility at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai File photo by Alex Petroski

must apply for a vendors temporary food service permit with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services before they can market and sell their products. The permits cost $95 and are valid only for a single event at a fixed location, with a 14-day limit. A permit’s time restriction makes it hard for shellfish farmers to participate in weekly and monthly events such as farmers markets and fairs. As a result, it limits a shellfish farmer’s ability to do business.

not only to our Island’s history but to our economy as well,” said county Legislator Bill Lindsay (D-Bohemia), chairman of the Suffolk County Legislature Economic Development Committee. “This industry generates millions of dollars in revenue, supports our local restaurants and provides our residents with world-class locally grown products.”

In addition to improving the shellfish industry, the county will continue efforts to improve water quality and restore marine ecosystems.

Past efforts include the 2010 aquaculture lease program. That program secured marine access for shellfish cultivation in Peconic Bay and Gardiners Bay to accommodate growth, while considering the needs of existing shellfish agriculture businesses.

According to the county’s Department of Economic Development and Planning, the program’s total economic output from 2012 to 2017 was estimated at $13 million.

“Long Island’s farmers and aquaculture producers are grateful for this economic incentive proposal put forth by County Executive Bellone to help us market and sell our products direct to consumers,” said Rob Carpenter, administrative director of Long Island Farm Bureau. “It will keep jobs, increase sales tax revenue and continue all the associated environmental benefits the industry does for Long Island residents and our waters.”

According to the Long Island Oyster Growers Association, local oysters filter approximately 900 million gallons of water every single day. Oysters improve waterways by eating algae, filtering out particulates and excess nutrients as well as creating habitats for other organisms.

History Close at Hand

Rev. Nathaniel Brewster and William Jayne’s legacies live on

BY BEVERLY C. TYLER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In the March 7 edition of The Village Times Herald, Three Village historian Beverly C. Tyler shared his letters to his grandchildren about their ancestors. Below is the continuation of those letters.

About 1659, the Rev. Nathaniel Brewster married Sarah Ludlow, the daughter of Roger Ludlow, a governor of Connecticut. Brewster had four children born while he was in England — Abigail, Sarah, Timothy and Daniel. The first two were by his first wife who died about 1657. Around 1661, Timothy was born to Nathaniel and Sarah.

William Jayne I had four children by his first wife, Anna Biggs. Their second child and eldest son William Jayne II was born in 1678. I use “I” and “II” to indicate first or second generation in America. William I had three children by his second wife and one child, Stephen, born 1700, by his third wife Mehitable Jenkins. William Jayne II is your grandfather’s direct ancestor, and Stephen Jayne is your grandmother’s direct ancestor. Since we are both descended from William Jayne I, it means that Grandma and I are seventh cousins in addition to being husband and wife.

By the time William Jayne I arrived in Setauket in 1675, the small settlement had grown to more than 30 families. The first meeting house — school and church — had been built in 1672 at the head of the Village Green, about where the Setauket Presbyterian Church now stands. A listing in the Town of

Above, the Brewster House grew to more than twice the size of the original when owned by Joseph Brewster; the original house is the area between the two chimneys. Below, at a recent Setauket Presbyterian Church anniversary, a cenotaph — a gravestone not necessarily at the location of the Rev. Nathaniel Brewster’s remains — was placed in the churchyard. At left, William Jayne I, who died in 1714 at the age of 96, is also buried in the same churchyard; his gravestone is barely readable, but someone — most likely a family member — added a plaque with his details. Photos by Beverly C. Tyler

Brookhaven records for 1675 showed 31 heads of family. In 1678, when William Jayne I’s second child was born, the settlers had hired Robert Rider to teach school. Classes were to be held in the Meeting House. Rider was given a home lot and a salary of 30 pounds a year.

By 1682, when William Jayne I’s fourth child Elizabeth was born, the first schoolhouse was built in Setauket.

The interweaving of the lives of the Rev. Brewster and Jayne did not end with their arrival in Setauket. The paths that bought them here from their birth in the port city of Bristol in South West England, would cross again and again within this small community.

The Rev. Brewster’s two sons, Timothy and Daniel, both married in the late 1600s and William Jayne I’s first seven children all married during the same period. The lives of their descendants gave the Three Villages much of its character over the next 100 years.

About 1688, Timothy Brewster married Mary Hawkins, the daughter of Zachariah Hawkins and Mary Biggs. Zachariah Hawkins was also one of the early settlers of Setauket, and he was the progenitor of the extensive Hawkins family on Long Island. Timothy and Mary Brewster had seven children. Their youngest son Joseph, born in 1709, was a tavern owner in 1735. He ran an “ordinary” (now known as an inn) in the house that is now considered to be the oldest structure in the Three Village area. The circa 1665 Brewster House now sits along the main road through East Setauket on Route 25A and was at one

time a vital stopping-off point for weary travelers on their way to and from the East End of Long Island.

It was Daniel Brewster, however, who brought the Brewster and Jayne families together when he married Anna Jayne, eldest child of William Jayne I and Anna Biggs, about 1693. Daniel Brewster and Anna Jayne had nine children and 45 grandchildren. Their youngest son, Benjamin, had four children and three of his children produced a total of 22 offspring.

Benjamin Brewster’s oldest son was Caleb Brewster who was born Sept. 12, 1747.

Caleb was an artillery captain during the Revolutionary War. On Aug. 22, 1777, he took part in the Battle of Setauket firing his cannon at the church where his great-grandfather had been the first minister. The building that had been turned into a Tory fort was not the same building in which the Rev. Brewster had preached in during the 17th century, but it stood on the same location and was the second building to occupy the site.

Caleb Brewster was also a member of the Setauket spies, a group of Patriots who worked to provide Gen. George Washington with information on the activities of the British Army headquartered in New York City. Brewster would secretly meet Abraham Woodhull, chief of the Setauket spies, at a predetermined location and receive a message which he would transport back across Long Island Sound to Major Benjamin Tallmadge who would bring the information to Gen Washington.

Many of the descendants of the Rev. Brewster and William Jayne I are buried in the graveyards scattered around the Three Villages. Many of the homes their descendants built are still standing, and their effect on the community is still being felt.

Beverly C. Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket. For more information, call 631-7513730 or visit www.tvhs.org.

Letters to the editor

Let the sunshine in

Mr. George Altemose in The Village Times Herald Feb. 21 letter “Response to climate change views” studiously ignores the major points in my letter from Jan. 31 “The data involved in climate change” on the co-evolution of industrially produced CO2 (and methane) levels with mean annual Earth surface temperatures, also called MAEST, in the period 1958 to 2018 (315 parts per million rises to 410 ppm CO2, MAEST rises 1.39 degrees Fahrenheit). He gleefully attacks a copyediting glitch that changed my correct text, [MAEST in 2018] “rose by 1.39 degrees F (0.77 degrees Celsius) over 1951-1980 and 2.09 degrees F over 1800” to the incorrect “rose by 1.39 degrees F ... from 1951 to 1980.”

Industrial output of CO2 did increase between 1951 and 1980 (by 20 ppm), while the MAEST went up and down — it’s complicated. But annual CO2 output soared to a steady 30-35 gigatonnes from 1990 through

Editorial

Journalists make a living often by shining a light on the behind-the-scenes actions of government officials and other people in power. The role of the press is critical to a healthy society. To promote open government, both the federal and state governments have strong laws that preserve a person’s rights to access government records and meetings. Journalists regularly rely on these laws to do their job, but these rights belong to all people. Anyone can request records and attend the meetings of elected officials.

TBR News Media participated last issue in Sunshine Week, sponsored by the American Society of News Editors and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

The initiative’s goal is to better inform the public of their open government rights to access records and meetings of government entities of all sizes. We focused on New York State’s Freedom of Information Law and found that some local government offices were following antiquated practices.

Since 1978, governments in New York have been required to adopt a record access code consistent with that of New York State. Not every government is up to date. We found that most government offer preprinted FOIL request forms on their website but lacked record access clause in their online code book.

Fortunately, the state’s Department of State Committee on Open Government makes it easy for officials to update their code. Its website provides model regulations that can be easily adopted.

We’re proud to say that in response to our reporting, Port Jefferson Village quickly agreed to review and revise their code as needed. Another village, Head of the Harbor, was more resistant.

It’s important for people to know that since 2006 New York State requires that government entities accept and respond to FOIL requests via email, if they have email. If they use emails internally, executive director of the Committee on Open Government, Robert Freeman, said that it’s hard to imagine why it can’t be used for record access. New York was the first state in the nation to address this problem. In today’s electronic age, there’s little need to physically go to town or village hall to request or receive records.

Transparency in government is imperative, and we encourage all town and village halls, as well as schools, to review their practices to ensure the easiest means for the public to access records. The more resistant a government entity is to follow open government rules, the more critical it is for people to challenge it.

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own.

They do not speak for the newspaper.

Overlooking major points in last letter 2018, increasing atmospheric CO2 by 60 ppm, and MAEST by 1.39 degrees F above 1980. Google “NOAA global temperature graph” to see MAEST evolution from 1880 to 2018.

Clouds (suspended water droplets) scatter incoming visible sunlight straight back into space (why they’re white). “Greenhouse” refers to the absorption and re-emission, half back to the surface, of some of the Earth’s own black-body radiation, in the middle infrared by some gases.

Altemose raises, yet again, the red herring of water vapor (the last refuge of pro-fossil-fuel apologists is to distract and sow doubt). To repeat myself, water vapor is important, but it doesn’t accumulate, it rains; there’s no reason to believe its effect has changed much since 1800, and in any case it’s beyond our control. The main gases where increments strongly affect greenhouse back re-emission are, indisputably, CO2 and methane (more

than 20 times as effective as CO2; 1 ppm increments have huge effects).

Besides hysteria (“Before we flush trillions of our children’s dollars … hoodwinked … flimflammed by tales of imaginary tipping points”), Altemose tries to bury rational quantitative arguments in ridicule. He lists marginal or irrelevant factors, including “[his] favorite” (har-har), methane from cow flatulence. Methane is released into the atmosphere in industrial quantities during fossil-fuel extraction and transport, but also by anaerobic biological processes that have become important as the human population has exploded: in rice paddies, giant garbage dumps, factory-farm animal waste and, not least, in one billion beef and dairy cattle. These ruminants eat cellulose that their rumen methanogenic bacteria ferment, to digestible fatty acids, and the methane they belch, not fart, out.

Reps. using Jewish pain as a political prop On March 7, the House of Representatives voted on a resolution that condemned bigotry against “African Americans, ... Native Americans, ... and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, ... immigrants and others.” While this began as an issue over comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) regarding Israeli government policy and the role and influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in shaping US/Israel policy, this resolution branched beyond this specific issue.

As a Jew who has seen a rise in antiSemitic hate crimes, including in our own district, I was pleased to see hate as a whole denounced. My belief as a Jew is that it is our obligation to stand against all hate, to stand for and with those who

are discriminated against, as we know all too well the pain of the sting of bigotry.

The resolution overwhelmingly passed the House 407-23. The 23 who voted against this anti-bigotry resolution were all Republicans, and two of them are our representatives, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Peter King (R-Seaford). Both of these men ignored the diverse populations they represent and voted for bigotry.

King mocked the resolution, saying it “lumped in anti-Semitism with Islamophobia, racism and bias against Asia-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, Latinos, Hindus, Sikhs and the LGBTQ community.” Why Congressman King would have an issue with denouncing hate in all forms, especially given that he represents many of these groups as his

constituents is morally troubling.

Congressman Zeldin took it even further, saying that he voted against the resolution because it didn’t include people “targeted for wearing MAGA hats.”

These two men, who have just had the closest election of their careers and are losing rather than gaining voter support, are using the Republican Party’s new strategy of weaponizing Jewish pain as a political prop and dividing, rather than uniting, their constituents.

As a Jewish constituent of Mr. Zeldin’s, I strongly denounce this strategy and stand united with all victims of bigotry, because hate against one of us is hate against all of us.

A plea for Stony Brook drivers to slow down They fly through Stony Book village, reckless, irresponsible drivers, ignoring the 30 miles per hour speed limit and stop signs as though it is an irksome imperative that somehow does not apply to them.

Consideration for and safety of the walker, jogger, cyclist and mother pushing her baby carriage runs a distant second in importance when measured with the goal

of drivers reaching their destination in record time.

Those who conform to the speed limit are often tailgated, and pedestrians, who plead with palm down gestures for moderation, are often offered a contemptuous middle finger flick and the mouthing of a two-word profanity.

Must we wait for a tragic catastrophic

incident, where we mourn and place flowers at the site of the sad event before some action is taken to assure the safety of our residents? Speed limit signs need to be more active, speed bumps should be considered, police patrols increased and egregious motorists penalized accordingly.

Opinion

The maddening search for the missing sock

A

reader wrote in to request a column about the search for missing items.

The following is my attempt to oblige that request.

Right now, someone, somewhere is looking for something.

Whatever it is, a birthday card bought three months ago for that special day tomorrow, a scarf that matches an outfit D. None perfectly or a piece of paper from an of the above art store for a critBY DANIEL DUNAIEF ical presentation, will cost less in time and money to purchase anew than the time

it takes to search through the house.

And yet most people don’t want to give up the search because they figure they’ll find it, save themselves the trip and prove to their spouses that they aren’t completely hopeless.

The search for stuff can go from the manic “Where’s my hat, where’s my hat, where’s my hat,” to the humorous “Oh, haaat, where are you? Come to me, hat. Wouldn’t you like to share a spring day outside?” to the grittedteeth angry “I know I put the hat here and it’s not here, which means it either walked away on its own or someone picked it up and put it somewhere else.”

When stuff disappears, we return to the same location over and over, searching the closet, flipping the cushions off the couch repeatedly, only to put them back and throw them off again, hoping that, somehow, the magic that caused the item to disappear will bring it back through our frantic search.

Most of us aren’t like Seinfeld or my superorganized sister-in-law, whose garage is probably better coordinated and arranged than most Home Depots. I recognize, of course, that my wife and I are on the other end of that spectrum. I’m not sure how the people with the organizational gene do it.

I look at a pile of stuff and separate out everything into broad categories. There’s junk I might need outside, junk I might need inside, junk I can’t readily identify — and then I stare at it.

At some point, my frustration at my inability to sort through it becomes sufficiently high that I put the pile back together and, lo and behold, the junk makes it almost impossible to find one specific item, even if what I seek is in that pile.

My life is filled with figurative haystacks and my ability and my patience to search for the needles is minimal.

When I’m hunting for something, I close my eyes and try to retrieve from my memory the last time I saw it. Aha! I think. It was in the living

room. No, maybe the dining room. No, no, I’m sure it was the kitchen.

Sometimes, I break down and buy the stupid item again, knowing that I need a specific type of tape, a matching pair of socks or something that I can’t fake having because something like it —- a Hawaiian shirt versus a button-down Oxford shirt — just won’t do.

When I return with the desired item, I take a moment to try to figure out where best to put it so I can find it again the next day or in a week, if I’m that organized. I walk slowly around the house, examining the piles of stuff that I just searched through, knowing that the piles are seeking recruits to join them. I come across an unusual and little used location, which I’m sure I’ll remember. As I find the perfect place for the redundant item, far from the all-consuming clutter, I sometimes discover that the joke’s on me: The original birthday card or missing sock await in exactly the same location.

March brings spring and college acceptance letters

P

robably the worst part of the fraud committed by parents to get their children into top colleges is the message it sends to their children. The parents are saying plainly that the children are not capable of succeeding on their own. Regardless of what they may have told their children, actions speak louder than words, and these parents have Between demonstrated that in order to sucyou and me ceed, one has to

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF lie, cheat, bribe and otherwise con one’s way to the goal.

And what is the goal here? Just getting into college, not making a million-dollar deal or getting on Easy Street for life. Yes,

a college degree usually helps a person to get a better job. It also supposedly helps that person to become a more developed human.

But a college graduate is merely on the threshold of the rest of his or her life, with no guarantees of any sort except the number of years one has spent in schools.

There are colleges considered top tier, but they promise nothing more than a sheepskin if one passes all the requisite courses. Are the professors better in a top-tier college? One might think that. Or one might suspect that some of the big name faculty use postgraduate teaching assistants to do the daily teaching with little student contact while they do research, travel to give lectures and win grants, contributing to the university’s standing more than to that of the students’ education. A top college degree might be a good name to drop in social circles, but in a long life performance is ultimately what counts.

Who gets the benefit of that name? Is it the child? Or is it the parents when relating the successes of their offspring? I remember a cartoon in one of the magazines about the time

my children were going through that nerveracking period of receiving acceptances — and rejections. In the center of the cartoon was the back of a car, with a close-up of the rearview window. And at the bottom left corner of the window, proudly displayed, was the sticker of the desired college, followed by the words, “also accepted in” with the other top-tier college stickers paraded across the width of the glass. Exactly whose victory was that touting?

Why, that of the parents, of course. Many of the kids probably didn’t have a car or couldn’t even drive yet.

Now let’s be honest here. Some parents have always tried to help their kids succeed, whether by throwing in a hand with the eighth-grade science project or polishing French pronunciation. And those parents who could afford it have sometimes made lavish donations to colleges in the hopes of aiding the admissions process. But those donations, if they build a new room for the library or contribute to the purchase of equipment in the lab, ultimately help many students. Most important, they are visible and not dishonest.

And whether we like it or not, people with more money sometimes use their money to their own advantage. Even the ability to pay for tutoring for the SATs divides the students into the haves and the have-nots. But that’s not illegal.

The other truism is this. Whether in college or in life or just inputting on a computer, garbage in means garbage out. If a student is committed and diligent about studying in college, and there are many good colleges in this country, that student will benefit from the college experience.

The opposite is also true. It doesn’t so much matter where one goes to college, but rather what one gets from the college in addition to the piece of paper documenting one’s attendance and tuition payments.

My granddaughter is a high school senior this year and waiting to hear where she will go for the next four years. We all are waiting to hear with her. She has already received acceptances so she knows she will be a college student by fall. Wherever she goes, she will get there honestly and because of the exceptional person that she is. We are so proud of her.
