Family honors patriarch in NYC Fight for Air Climb By Rita J. Egan Rita@tbRnewspapeRs.com When James Riordan, 82, died in 2016 after battling lung cancer, many would think his greatest contribution to the world was his involvement with the Apollo 13 space mission. But to his relatives, it was his sense of family and kindness that touched others most. Inheriting his sense of generosity, the former Stony Brook resident’s family participated in the American Lung Association Fight for Air Climb April 1 for the second straight time, raising $1,512 for the cause in his memory. This year’s event included 600 participants climbing the 55 flights of stairs at One Penn Plaza, a New York City skyscraper, the equivalent of 1,210 steps. Granddaughter Jessica Frisina, of Rocky Point, organized Team Apollo in honor of

her fond memories of the aerospace engineer with the Northrop Grumman Corporation. “He was completely humble,” she said. “He was so willing to help anybody and everybody. He just wanted to lend a helping hand to anyone that was willing to take it — just a generous and kind person. He didn’t have a mean bone in his body.” Riordan, who lived in Stony Brook with his wife Ruth since 1964, was an integral member of the Apollo 13 mission. Due to his work helping to direct the team on the construction of the Lunar Excursion Module and its safe return, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Richard Nixon in 1970 along with his fellow members of the Apollo 13 Mission Operations Team. His son Bob Riordan, Frisina’s stepfather, said while growing up he and his siblings didn’t realize just how important their father’s job was. It wasn’t until they were going through their father’s books, or hearing from friends who worked at Grumman, that they realized just how much he had accomplished. He said they were amazed that their father was in the control room during the Apollo 13 mission and treasure the book “Race to the Moon,” where James Riordan is pictured in a control room with astronaut Neil Armstrong. “We can’t believe we had a father who did this for a living,” Bob Riordan said. The son said he isn’t surprised his father didn’t talk much about his work though, because of his modesty. “He never cared about keeping up with the Joneses,” he said. “All he ever cared about was his family.” James Riordan suffered from chronic ob-

His son said his father smoked for decades, starting as a teenager. Riordan said the former engineer was always in great shape and would go to the gym on a regular basis and kept active with volun-

teer opportunities such as tutoring children in math or visiting patients at Stony Brook University Hospital. He was in his late 70s when he started noticing shortness of breath. Frisina said she got the idea to start the Fight for Air Climb team after her grandfather’s death. In his will, her grandfather left

history close at hand

Three Village historian explores North Carolina’s Outer Banks By Beverly tyler My wife and I, along with our daughters, son-in-law and eight grandchildren spent the week between Palm Sunday and Easter on the North Carolina Outer Banks at Nags Head, Bodie Island. Three of the past four years we were there the last week in August on Hatteras Island, so this was a new experience. We could still walk the beaches, and the children did briefly go in the ocean, but it wasn’t the same as in August. April on the Outer Banks this year was warm and very pleasant but not hot. Hatteras is a wonderful vacation area for exploring, fishing, water sports and especially just relaxing. The Outer Banks does not end as it touches the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It extends its sand into the ocean, increasing slowly in depth, providing a gently sloping platform for enjoying the ocean waves as they break and crash headlong up the beach. On the opposite side of the Outer Banks is Pamlico Sound, which stretches from Roanoke Island in the north past Ocracoke Island to the south. In many areas it is wider than Long Island Sound. It is also extremely shallow within about a mile of the Outer Banks providing a soft, delightful beach. Hatteras and Ocracoke islands are mostly national parks but there are many towns and villages here. The Outer Banks islands to the north are much more densely populated and

they include Roanoke Island, site of John White’s lost colony, which was forced by weather and sea conditions to land on the island in July of 1587, instead of a favored location in the Chesapeake Bay. North of Roanoke and Hatteras Islands is Bodie Island, actually a long narrow barrier peninsula, which includes Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hill where the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, made aviation history becoming the first to achieve self-propelled flight in a heavier-than-air machine. This was the area, actually the town of Nags Head, where we decided to vacation in April. The sound side here is called Roanoke Sound and it is a wonderful area to observe wildlife and to fish. It is also built up enough to provide a wide variety of entertainment for our grandchildren. The Outer Banks stretch 180 miles along the Atlantic coast of North Carolina. Its strong winds and soft sand provided the ideal conditions for the Wright brothers. The shifting and moving sand, as well as the shallow bays with their divergent tidal currents and shoals also provides perfect conditions for birds, fish and other wildlife. We spent two days exploring the northern, and less-populated, villages of Duck and Corolla. In Duck there is an almost 2-milelong boardwalk along Currituck Sound and the village is a delight for tourists and a bit more laid back than around Nags Head. North of Duck is the more remote village of Corolla. Here the draw for tourists

It is now illegal to get closer to the horses than 50 feet and feeding them will also result in a heavy fine. The horses are the direct descendants of mustangs put ashore by Spanish explorers around the 1520s. The wild horses have adapted to a diet of salt grass, sea oats, acorns and persimmons in season. There are many tour companies offering

tours of the area where the wild horses now live, often together with homes that are only accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles. We decided to take our tour with the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, a nonprofit group whose mission is to protect and preserve the herd. The two-hour trip was exciting and informative. Beverly Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the Society, 93 North Country Road, Setauket.

Protecting against plane crashes By DeSIRée KeegAn desiree@tbrnewspapers.com

Following a spike in small plane crashes over the last few years, U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (DNew York) called for an investigation, and he got answers. On March 3, Schumer sent a letter to the National Transportation Safety Board asking for an in-depth analysis of recent U.S.-registered civil aircraft accidents on Long Island to help develop recommendations to prevent future incidents. “I strongly urge you not just to conduct yet another investigation … but to also undertake a comprehensive and system-wide review to understand why these accidents are happening, and what can be done in order to decrease the occurrences,” he wrote in the letter. “The number of airplane crashes across the system must be reduced.” This request came after a recent crash in Southampton, though others have also occurred in Shoreham, Port Jefferson, Setauket, Kings Park and Hauppauge in recent years. The board, in a letter of response to Schumer, said it examined data from accidents in New York over the last five years, including the number of accidents, types of injuries, types of operations, causes of accidents and locations. Since 2012, 156 aviation accidents have

occurred, with 140 of these aircraft operating as flights under Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations — small noncommercial aircraft. The causes have been similar in nature for the incidents with completed investigations. Most included safety-related issues, like loss of control, which occurred in one-third of aviation accidents. An in-flight loss of control accident involves an unintended departure from controlled flight, which could be caused by an engine stall, pilot distraction, loss of situational awareness or weather. According to the letter, the board said that preventing loss of control in flight in general aviation is currently on its 2018 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements. Other causes of aviation accidents included loss of engine power, controlled flight into terrain and hard landings. Moving forward, the board plans to reach out to the general aviation community and host a safety seminar later this year. “We consider Long Island a suitable venue for this safety seminar because a number of general aviation accidents have occurred in that area and because we believe the robust general aviation community there will be receptive to our safety outreach,” the letter stated. “We anticipate that this seminar will help raise awareness about these recent accidents in New York and around the country and about specific issues affecting the general aviation community.”

Mount Sinai man saved from burning car, arrested for DWAI By DeSIRée KeegAn desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Police arrested a man for driving while ability impaired by alcohol and drugs after he was rescued from his vehicle in Rocky Point April 12. Corey Tierney was driving a 2003 Hyundai Sonata north on County Road 21, when he lost control of his vehicle, which crashed into a wooded area and caught fire. Passing motorists, Claudio Gil and

Margaret Ward, pulled an unconscious Tierney from the vehicle. A Rocky Point Fire Department rescue team responded and administered Narcan to Tierney, 21, of Mount Sinai, who regained consciousness and was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. He was charged with driving while ability impaired by alcohol and drugs. Gil, 30, of Mount Sinai, and Ward, 51, of Rocky Point, were not injured.

Mount Sinai doctor drowns after fall off boat in Long Island Sound By DeSIRée KeegAn desiree@tbrnewspapers.com A Mount Sinai anesthesiologist has died after falling off a boat in the Long Island Sound April 15. Milford Fire Rescue received a 911 call from a woman saying her husband, Richard Melucci, 43, had fallen overboard as they were boating on the Sound near Milford, Connecticut at about 6 p.m. Melucci’s wife, Maryann, was below the deck when she heard the splash, police said. Police say Melucci, a 1991 Ward Melville graduate, was not wearing a life jacket when he fell into the water, so his wife attempted to throw a life ring out several times without success, according to Captain Keith Williams of the Connecticut State Police Department. Milford’s dive team and the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the scene and rescued Melucci from the water about 55 minutes later, authorities said. Melucci and his wife were taken to Milford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An avid boater, Melucci worked at Long Island Anesthesia Physicians in Rocky Point and was affiliated with John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson. He was on his new 25-foot vessel, which was taken to Milford Landing, where authorities are conducting a full investigation. Reposing took place at O.B. Davis Funeral Homes, 4839 Nesconset Highway in Port Jefferson Station. Visitation was held April 19, and will be held today, April 20, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held April 21 at 10 a.m. at the chapel at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson. Interment to follow at Washington Memorial Park in Mount Sinai. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Rick Melucci Family Fund at https://www.gofundme.com/rick-meluccifamily-fund. As of press time, after two days, the GoFundMe page raised $76,425 of the $100,000 goal.

Yakub Gangat donated $1,000 to the fund, and left the message: “An outstanding clinician and leader. Fun loving with infectious personality. He’ll be forever missed.” Jennifer Bednar, who donated $100, also wrote, “A devastating loss. I will miss that infectious smile. My whole heart goes out to Maryann and family.” Teresa Schully Habacker left a similar sentiment with her $200 contribution. “What a loss for the medical community. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I will miss his competent care and his great sense of humor.”

Professor recognized

Nancy J. Tomes, a distinguished professor of history in the College of Arts and Sciences at Stony Brook University, has been awarded a 2017 Bancroft Prize in American History and Diplomacy for her most recent book, “Remaking the American Patient: How Madison Avenue and Modern Medicine Turned Patients into Consumers” (University of North Carolina Press, 2016). Tomes’ book was one of three acclaimed works to win the honor this year out of 239 books that were submitted for consideration for the 2017 prize. In the book, Tomes questions the popular — yet previously largely unexamined — idea that in order to receive quality health care, people must learn to shop for it. Understanding where the shopping model came from, why it was so long resisted in medicine, and why it finally triumphed in the late 20th century helps to explain why, despite striking changes that seem to empower patients, so many Americans remain unhappy and confused about their status as patients today. The Bancroft Prize is awarded annually by the trustees of Columbia University for important works that are judged in terms of the scope, significance, depth of research and richness of interpretation they present in the areas of American history

County Legislator William Spencer (D-Centerport) and Health Commissioner James Tomarken present Tracy Trypuc with a proclamation for her contributions to public health in Suffolk County.

RN Honored Tracy Trypuc was

honored with a proclamation by the Suffolk County Legislature for her contributions to public health over 10 years as a member of the Suffolk County Board of Health. Trypuc is the first woman and registered nurse to serve on the Suffolk County Board of Health, a position she assumed in February 2007. For seven years, she served as the board’s vice president.

Trypuc, a Three Village resident, investigated important matters affecting the lives of Suffolk County residents including issues such as powdered caffeine, hookah lounges, tattoo regulations, e-cigarettes and much more. She has also been acknowledged as a leader in the fight against energy drink use by young people and has consulted on the subject with government leaders in the United States and Canada.

Gerry Belvedere, 60, of Miller Place and formally of East Setauket, tragically passed away March 20 at John T. Mather Hospital. His family was by his side when he passed. He was born to Gerald and Norma Belvedere of Commack on May 6, 1956. Gerry attended Commack South High School, graduated in 1974 and went on to study at SUNY Delhi University. After college, Gerry started Belvedere Construction where his sons eventually joined him and continue his business today. He was a loving father, husband, grandfather, uncle and friend to many. He left his impact on not only his family but many people who he had touched through his business ventures and coaching throughout the years. Gerry is survived by his wife Debra and his sister Suzanne Evangelista, both of Long Island. He also leaves his sons Gerry (Melissa), Nicholas (Dawn), Anthony (Teal), Dominick and Zach, as well as his seven grandchildren, Nicholas, DeAnna, Anthony, Blake, Kayden, Alexia, Jax and many close friends. His charismatic and loving personality will be greatly missed, but his legacy will be forever carried on through his four sons. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Bryant Funeral Home in Setauket, and the funeral Mass was held at St. Louis de Montfort R.C. Church in Sound Beach. He was laid to rest at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Port Jefferson.

The family asks that you consider donations to Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson in his name.

And that was what his life was all about — to have his children be successful and safe, and grandchildren, too.” When Frisina realized it was going to be difficult to get everyone together once again for a party, she thought the climb would be a

great way to get everyone together. Riordan said he wasn’t surprise when his stepdaughter started up the team. “I was so proud of her for doing that, but that’s the kind of person Jessica is,” he said. Frisina said while the Riordans are her stepfamily, she considers them family all the same. Riordan said his father and stepdaughter hit it off as soon as they met when she was 7 years old. “They took a liking to each other the first day they met,” Riordan said. “I always felt kind of emotional when those two were together. He was the type of man that any children who came into his life just took to him — that’s just the type of guy he was.” While joining the Fight for Air Climb was a

last-minute decision in 2016, with only a few relatives being able to come out and cheer them on, this year she said almost a dozen family members came out to show support for her, Riordan, her stepbrother Matt Riordan and her aunt Kathy Bern, who traveled from North Carolina. Frisina said she looks forward to participating in the event again next year and knows participation from the family will only continue to grow. Her uncle Jim Riordan was on hand this year to show support. He said Frisina always had a great appreciation for his father. “She is by every definition a grandchild in this family,” he said. Bob Riordan said he was in better shape

for this year’s event after finding out how difficult the climb was last year. “The first time I did it, I thought I was going to join my father,” Riordan joked. Frisina said climbing the 55 flights of stairs is supposed to simulate how it feels to have a lung ailment, and once you pass flight 10, it becomes more and more difficult to breathe. “It initially feels amazing to complete something like that,” Frisina said. “But in reality, it makes you think as you’re doing it. [My grandfather] had to deal with this every day — feeling like this and overcoming walking and not being able to breathe. It makes you put yourself in somebody else’s shoes who’s dealing with it.”

Reflecting on the climate change issue

Stony Brook University students may benefit from the Excelsior Scholarship program.

Free ride or helping hand Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has announced that the Excelsior Scholarship program is included in the 2018 State Budget, providing residents who meet certain criteria free tuition at state colleges. But on closer look, this program doesn’t wipe away all costs of getting a higher education. While the scholarship program provides free tuition, there are many costs it doesn’t cover, like additional fees, room and board, and textbooks, which combined can be as prohibitive a cost as tuition. In other words, it won’t be the free ride many might think it is when they hear “free tuition.” Recipients must also meet several requirements, including attending a CUNY or SUNY school full time, completing degree requirements in two or four years and having a household income of less than $100,000 this year and less than $125,000 by 2019. After college, students will be required to remain working in the state for as many years as they receive the funds. And while in school, students must maintain satisfactory grades to keep their tuition free. Even if the scholarship covered all college costs, is an experience such as educating oneself ever free? Education is always an investment of valuable time and energy, and depending on the courses one takes, that investment of time and energy can be an enormous one. While movies about fraternity or sorority members partying or running wild on campus may make for hilarious stories, in real life the majority of students can be found in lecture halls or in their dorm rooms studying for the next big exam. Being forced to “rough it” is not a prerequisite for success in college or for appreciation of a high quality education. The Excelsior Scholarship program will create more opportunities to provide students with the tools they need to achieve their future goals, no matter what he or she or their family’s financial situation may be. The cost of college has become a heavy burden on many of today’s families, and for many careers an education beyond high school is required. Excelsior indicates something of superior quality. Let’s give our future students, no matter what their financial situation may be, the opportunity to afford an education of superior quality by lightening their load, even if it’s only a little lighter.

In response to the March 30 editions of the Times Beacon Record Newspapers: 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 pre-

vent 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.

Sasha and Wookie killed by dogs.

We would like to thank all the people who wrote and called to express their sympathy for the irresponsible and savage act that killed our beloved llamas, Sasha and Wookie. Your outpourings of concern and compassion affirms that we are a community that cares about one another. We would also like to thank

The Village Times Herald newspaper for highlighting the story (Feb. 9). Since there have been no more incidents, we believe the publicity alerted the dogs’ owner to their behavior. We hope that there will be no more incidents like this in our neighborhood or anywhere else.

Trump curriculum suggestions May I humbly propose an addition to the curriculum of the now-defunct Trump University entitled “How to undermine a democracy 101.” Content as follows: 1. Conduct a campaign riddled with violence inducing, xenophobic rhetoric. 2. Use scapegoat-

ing, i.e., Muslims and immigrants as a key vote-getter. 3. Label your opponent as felonious and promise to imprison him or her should you be elected president. 4. Deny the validity of the vote unless you win. 5. When elected install in key offices close family members and

supporters regardless of experience, skills or temperament. 6. Undermine the security apparatus and install your own loyalists. 7. Continuously spread false inflammatory information to misinform the public and to divert attention from your corruption and incompetence.

8. Laud and engage autocrats like yourself in spite of their human rights records. 9. Impugn the judiciary and the media. All is ready now for you to rise up and take power as the savior of “the people.”

OpiniOn The unplanned birth of a surprising new product

ave you seen it? In the pace at which we live our lives, it’s possible you missed it. I was at the drugstore recently and I saw it on the side of a box. It took a moment to process. How often does a product surprise you? It had the potential to be a “you got your chocolate in my peanut butter” moment. When I was younger, my older brother, or No. 1 son as he’s been described on these pages for decades, used to By Daniel Dunaief mix all kinds of foods. Perhaps it was a prelude to him becoming a scientist. He’d combine foods that would defy even the current cooking shows. To his credit, he’d

D. None of the above

choke down even the ones that were spectacular failures because he didn’t want to waste food, and because who knew at what point a displeasing food might become an acquired taste? After all, how many people remember their first sip of beer? Did it tickle their taste buds or did they want to find water or a soda to wash it down? So, back at the drugstore, I scratched my unshaven chin — I was buying razors to remedy that problem — when the image on the side of a box diverted my attention from important thoughts: How much longer would this take? Would I meet my deadlines? Was I supposed to wash some missioncritical clothing last night for some must-win game today? As I looked at that image, I could imagine the moment Igor came up with the idea. There he was at a barbecue. With his acquired-taste beer a few inches from his left hip, he surveyed the food on his overloaded plate. He had a thick cheeseburger on

a sesame seed bun, half sour pickles, an enormous mound of sauteed onions and mushrooms, coleslaw, and several Pringles sitting next to his burger. Igor works for Pringles and he won’t attend any picnic without bringing his favorite curved chip. The burger was on its way to his mouth when he realized he was missing something. He stood up to kiss his sister-in-law, maneuvered around his nephew who was bouncing a pink ball against the steps, and he and his burger arrived safely at the condiment table. On Igor’s way back to his beer, the pink ball rolled underfoot, causing him to turn his ankle and mix up the contents of the plate. He hobbled to his spot and surveyed the damage to his food. His ankle could wait. Igor, like my brother, pressed on. He sighed at his precious Pringles. They were broken into tiny pieces, which was no fault of the distinctive packaging, and they looked like they’d been through a battle. They were covered in ketchup. Did he dare

throw out the Pringles, he wondered, as he sipped his acquired-taste beer? No, his loyalty to a product that paid for his mortgage and his three Jeeps ran too deep to toss even a single chip. Igor found the small part of a chip not smothered in ketchup and brought it to his mouth. Aware that every eye was on him, he nodded slowly, as if the taste was something extraordinary. “Well,” his brother said, trying to be helpful, “why not, right? We put ketchup on French fries, which are also made from potatoes, right?” Was it a weakness or a strength on Igor’s part that made him insist this was an inevitable combination that would become a must-have item for July Fourth barbecues? I suppose it’s up to us to decide whether ketchup-flavored potato chips are the next peanut butter cup. If they are, maybe Pringles can edit a Seinfeld clip where George Costanza double-dips his chip into a bowl of ketchup?

Patriots losing streak grows with loss to Sachem North By Bill landon The Ward Melville softball team jumped out to a 5-0 start earlier in the season, tying its record from last year, but has since hit a rough patch, continuing a five-game losing streak with a 2-0 loss to Sachem North April 18. Giving up two runs that were setup by three errors in the sixth inning proved costly, and with runners in scoring position consistently, the Patriots couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities.
