Ben Brown drafted by Philadelphia Phillies By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com When Ben Brown was 2 years old he’d break windows throwing baseballs, dreaming of being drafted by a Major League Baseball team. Now, the 6-foot, 6-inch Ward Melville pitcher is living that dream. He was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 33rd round on the third and final day of the MLB Amateur Draft. He watched and waited as the names rolled by. He wasn’t shocked, but the suspense was killing him. “When I found out, it was such a relief,” Brown said. “I jumped up really high and I gave my mom a big hug. It’s such an incredible blessing.” The stress of waiting was almost too much for his mother. She contemplated going to visit her father to take her mind off the stress. “I’ve been watching this pot too long,” Jo-Anne Wilson-Brown said as she got ready to walk out the door. Urged to stay, she decided to pull laundry off the line instead, and sat down with her iPad to watch the draft ticker. Moments later, she heard him scream. “I heard him screaming before I even saw his name pop up,” she said, laughing. “Luckily I was still here. It was a magical, magical moment. This has been my son’s dream since the day he was born. He just wanted to play ball. He did it, and I never doubted he could.” Brown amassed a 15-3 record over his career as a Patriot, tied for second on the school’s all-time wins list. He went 7-0 during the regular season in his sophomore year, and after a loss in the playoffs, went 3-0 to start his junior year. He hadn’t given up a single

Fire destroys historic Micah Jayne barn in Setauket By rita J. egan rita@tBrnewspapers.com An early morning fire left a Setauket barn destroyed Monday, June 19. The barn, which was more than 300 years old, was located on the property that once belonged to a family with deep roots in the village. At 4:33 a.m. the Setauket Fire Department responded to the scene at Ada Lane off Route 25A in Setauket. Larry Hall, the department’s public information officer, said firefighters on the scene encountered a fully involved fire of the 30-by-30-foot structure that was used for storage. In addition to the Setauket Fire Depart-
ment, the Port Jefferson, Stony Brook and Terryville fire departments were also on the scene to assist in distinguishing the fire, which burned for approximately two and a half hours. The Selden Fire Department and the Stony Brook Volunteer Ambulance Corps were on standby at the Setauket headquarters. Hall said one of the main concerns was a neighbor’s house, which is situated approximately 40 feet from the barn, because plastic on the home was beginning to melt. However, the fire did not spread to adjacent properties. According to Brookhaven town historian Barbara Russell, the barn is on the same property of the home known as the Micah Jayne House in the Three Village area. The land belonged to the Jayne family for generations. The family can trace its roots back to one of the first settlers in Setauket, William Jayne, a native of Bristol, England, who immigrated to the United States in the 17th century. The property was also the site of the Lade Brae nursery for years. Russell said 20 years ago she toured the barn with an architect historian who said the barn appeared as if it was built between 1680 and 1720, and he called it a unique structure. One of the distinguishing features of the barn was hand-hewn braces. “It had elements of both Dutch barn construction and English barn construc-

The historian said while the structure of the barn remained the same through the centuries, a previous owner approximately 20 years ago re-shingled the roof and added board-and-batten siding. No firefighters were injured while fighting the fire. The Suffolk County arson squad and Town of Brookhaven fire mar-
shal have been notified for further investigation, and the town will demolish the remnants of the barn. Russell said she feels sorry for the family that currently owns the property as well as the local community. “We have lost a piece of our very early history and, unfortunately, it’s not replaceable,” Russell said.

She said she wanted to show that peace-loving citizens are also patriotic. “I think it’s very important especially with what’s going on in politics, and the uncertainty of the person who has the finger on the button to particularly see how dangerous it is to have nuclear proliferation,” she said. “It all boils down to humans.

Peace group honors soldiers By rita j. egan rita@tbrnewspapers.com The Women’s March and Rally to Ban the Bomb in East Setauket coincided with the North Country Peace Group’s annual reading of the 41 names of Long Island soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. After the members’ demonstration, they stood in a circle, holding up a photo of each soldier and reading his name as well as some information about them, including family members left behind. Two members from the North Country Patriots, who stood on the opposite side of Route 25A across from the Peace Group in an opposing rally, came across the street holding a big American flag toward the end of the readings. One said that any memorial honoring soldiers needs flags. After the rally, one of the men, who asked not to be identified, said he tried his best not to interrupt the ceremony but he kept thinking to himself, “They were honoring our soldiers, but there was no American flag.” Rosemary Maffei, of Port Jefferson Station, said the group feels showing the soldiers photos and reading their names is the group’s way of honoring the men who made the ultimate sacrifice. “We had flags at the ceremony but this is a time to remember and reflect, not flag-waving,” Maffei said.

Cops South Setauket teen faces Centereach man acquitted after Mount Sinai raid possible prison time By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com
By DEsiRéE KEEgan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com
What started as an accusation of rape to deny she had consensual sex with two males has turned into a possible prison sentence for a South Setauket teen. Nikki Yovino, 18, was offered a plea deal, which includes two years prison time, at a June 15 pre-trial hearing in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Yovino, a former Sacred Heart University student, accused two males of sexually assaulting her in a bathroom at a house party in Bridgeport Oct. 15. While initial statements from witnesses and evidence recovered from the scene suggested a sexual assault occurred, according to the Bridgeport Police Department, detectives later uncovered information that contradicted Yovino’s original accusations. After being notified of the new evidence, the woman admitted the sex was consensual and turned herself into police Feb. 21. However, at her arraignment, she pleaded not guilty. In a Feb. 24 statement, her attorney Mark Sherman said, “The details of what happened here will come out at the appropriate time during the court process.” If she accepts the plea deal, in addition to spending two years in prison, Yovino’s sen-
Centereach resident Edward Perkowski Jr. was found not guilty last month of all charges against him after he was indicted on illegal weapons possession following a raid at his former Mount Sinai home. During the raid, Nazi paraphernalia, drugs and cash were also seized. Perkowski, 34, was the focus of a major Suffolk police news conference last June, but in court, the case unraveled because the jury did not believe detectives’ confidential informant. The informant, according to defense attorney Matt Tuohy, of Huntington, was Perkowski’s former girlfriend. “They made my guy look really, really bad, and he was innocent,” Tuohy said in a statement. “He really suffered.” A Riverhead jury found Perkowski not guilty on all eight counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one charge of criminal possession of a weapon. Other charges in the 14-count indictment were dropped three weeks before the trial began. At the time, Police Commissioner Tim Sini said: “Today’s search warrant might have prevented a deadly, violent incident, like the one we recently saw in Orlando,” referring to the Pulse nightclub massacre. Sini also said the house was “infected with a disease called hate.”

The official charges are second-degree falsely reporting an incident and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. She is scheduled to return to court June 26 at 10 a.m. to notify Superior Court Judge Earl Richards of her decision as to whether or not she will take the plea. Sherman declined to comment with regard to his client’s decision.

“They all called my family Nazis,” said Edward Perkowski Sr., a Vietnam veteran. “All of the lies started because my son dumped their ‘confidential informant.’ And the police only took the German stuff we collected from World War II, nothing Russian or Chinese or any other country. It bolstered their story. We’re collectors.” The younger Perkowski owns a registered online military surplus company, registered in Riverhead. The money, which was the father’s workmen’s compensation funds, was returned to him. “The jury said the police lied,” the elder Perkowski said. “Everyone thought my son was a Nazi, and he wasn’t.”

A party at a Port Jefferson Village home caused a commotion Saturday night, requiring Suffolk County Police to respond to break up a gathering of approximately 400 people, including some allegedly younger than the legal drinking age, according to police. Sixth Precinct Patrol officers were called to a house on Crystal Brook Hollow Road June 17 by the Port Jeff village constables, according to the Port Jeff Code Chief Wally Tomaszewski. When police arrived, there were approximately 400 people at the residence at 12:45 a.m., and underage drinking was observed. Police arrested and charged the host, Michael Malguarnera, 30, with violating the social host law. He was transported to the 6th Precinct, where he was released on bail. Malguarnera is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip Aug. 18. According to Tomaszewski, a similar party was thrown at the residence the weekend prior. He said Malguarnera threw the party and charged admission at the door, and even offered valet parking for visitors. Members from the village’s “Whiskey Team,” a task force of two Suffolk County Police Department officers assigned to Port Jeff village for the summer months to assist the constables,

responded to the call, according to the code chief. This was the first weekend the Whiskey Team was available as a resource for the constables, and they will remain through the summer, Tomaszewski said. The issue was addressed in a post on the village’s official Facebook page. “Although I am sorry this happened in Port Jefferson — I’m also grateful to our code bureau and to SCP for arriving and doing their jobs!,” the post said. “Let this be a lesson — this will not be tolerated in any neighborhood!” Attorney information for Malguarnera was not immediately available.

A look at the dangers of driving during ‘100 deadliest days’
By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com For the youngest drivers on the road this summer, extra precautions may be necessary, as teen drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a fatal car crash during the “100 deadliest days,” according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. The foundation has dubbed the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day as the 100 deadliest days because teen crashes increase by 15 percent during this period, and local officials agree distracted driving is becoming increasingly dangerous in young drivers. Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) said 5,000 people nationwide have been killed in crashes involving teen drivers during the 100-day period. “The importance of ensuring new, young drivers comprehend the consequences of driving distracted or impaired is crucial,” Losquadro said. “They need to understand the long-term effects of their actions. One poor choice could impact the rest of their lives.” According to a study done by AAA, more than 1,600 people were killed in crashes involving inexperienced drivers during the 100 days in the past five years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 2015 crash data said the number of teen drivers involved in fatal crashes increased more than 10 percent from the previous year, and the AAA Foundation said driving distractions, speeding and not wearing seat belts are the main culprits in fatalities among young drivers. “Statistics show that teen crashes spike during the summer months because teens are out of school and on the road,” David Yang, AAA Foundation executive director, said in a statement. “The foundation’s research found that inexperience paired with greater exposure on the road could create a deadly combination for teen drivers.” The foundation said 60 percent of teen drivers killed in crashes were not wearing a seat belt, nearly 30 percent were speeding and six out of every 10 were distracted at the wheel. According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicle crash summary for 2014, the most recent year available, distraction made up nearly 20 percent of the total crashes, was the leading cause for total crashes and was the fourth highest reason for fatalities for drivers of all ages. The other biggest human factors for New York include tailgating and speeding. Speeding was also the leading fatal cause of accidents. The New York DMV also indicated a majority of crashes happen on Fridays, with the most occurring between 3 and 6 p.m. However, the largest total number of fatal crashes occurred on Sundays, also between 3 and 6 p.m. Teens are not alone in requiring greater attention while behind the wheel. In both men and women, ages 21 to 29 had the highest number of crashes — however, women had a significantly lower number of overall crashes than men, according to the data from New York State. For example, for

an infographic with facts from aaa Foundation for traffic safety men ages 18 to 20, there were 58 fatal car crashes out of 1,016, and for women in the same group there were only 23 out of 340. Women had fewer crashes than men in every single age group. Northport Village Police Chief Bill Ricca said while his data doesn’t show these months as being particularly more dangerous, he agreed distracted driving is a growing problem. “Distracted driving is a huge problem with these young kids,” he said in a phone interview. “You have the inexperience, paired with the music blasting, and the other kids in the car, it really increases the potential for accidents and other mishaps. It’s important to put the distractions aside and pay attention to where you’re going. One of the biggest factors we continually see on accident reports is distracted driving.” But Ricca did have one compliment for the younger generation of drivers. “I’ve noticed these kids are doing a much better job of not drinking and driving,” he said. “There’s been a culture change with the younger kids. It’s been hammered into them for years. They’re doing a much better job than the generation before them.” The AAA Foundation said families should sit down with their young drivers and make sure they understand the dangers and responsibilities of being on the road. Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said despite kids getting older, the worry never goes away. “Parents are the front line of defense,” Bonner said. “I’m a big proponent of the defensive driving classes. Education practice, driving hours and parents’ strong conviction that kids have to obey the rules all play a part in it. Even when my kids got their junior licenses, I was strict about rules.” Jennifer Ryan, AAA’s director of New York State relations, agreed. “It all starts with educating teens about safety on the road and modeling good behavior, like staying off the phone and buckling your seat belt,” she said in a statement. The highway department hosts a free teen driver safety program for kids 15 and older. The next one is Aug. 8, from 6 to 9
p.m. at Safety Town, 249 Buckley Road in Holtsville. “Certified instructors with many years of defensive driving and accident investigation experience talk with participants about the importance of developing safe habits when traveling the roadways,” Losquadro said. “Teens then use electric
cars to complete obstacle courses designed to simulate driving while texting and impaired. Wearing the Fatal Vision goggles and being visually impaired but still having cognitive senses allows the participants to experience this in a safe environment and, hopefully, remember the effects.” Desirée Keegan contributed reporting

Budding engineers
Minnesauke Elementary School sixthgraders recently worked to become design engineers during their STEM class, as they studied thermal energy transfer and 3-D printing. With the help of their teacher, Sean Dowling, the students created insulated containers based upon their knowledge of heat transfer — conduction, convection, radiation — as well as conductors and insulators. The students designed a container encompassing two inner joining parts and then se-
lected which type of insulation to fit between the two parts. Once the designs were finalized using the computer CAD software they were brought to life using the school’s 3-D printer. Students then ran a test to see which printed device was able to keep the most of an ice cube’s mass in solid form after putting under a light source for 20 minutes. Two project designs per class were chosen to compete in a final grade level challenge. The ice cube enclosed in the device that won the overall competition was found to have only lost 0.66 percent of its mass.

Three teams from R.C. Murphy Junior High School performed exceptionally well at this year’s Suffolk County Math Teachers Association Math League events and each took home first-place prizes. The seventh-grade team A, eighth-grade team C and ninth-grade team A took first place for their division. On top of that, seventhgrade team A and ninth-grade team A took first place for the county. Murphy’s math team is a club that meets once a week from October to February. Students work on mathematics problems and compete monthly in different events. During the competitions, the students are
separated by grade level and given a series of five questions, which get progressively harder. The scores are based on correct answers and tallied throughout the season. The team with the highest score at the end of the season wins the division. Those same scores are used to establish which teams have the highest scores for the county. Seventh-Grade Team A - Division Winners/County Winners: Claire Yang, Carolyn Liu and Matthew Chen. Eighth-Grade Team C - Division Winners: Neil Mahta, Animesh Ghose, Jonah Pichler and Akshay Malhotra. Ninth-Grade Team A - Division Winners/County Winners: Christoper Moore, Jonathan Huang and Keene Lu.

County
Two Republicans, one Democrat vying for Suffolk sheriff job By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Three candidates are currently in the race to become Suffolk County sheriff this November. State Sen. Phil Boyle (R-East Islip), career law enforcer Larry Zacarese (R), Boyle’s Republican primary challenger, and retired New York City police officer Dan Caroleo (D) are each hoping to inherit the position held for 12 years by Vincent DeMarco (R), who announced in May his decision not to seek a fourth term. He declined to comment on his decision. Boyle, 55, of Bay Shore, who was elected to the New York Senate in November 2012 after serving 16 years as a state assemblyman, was endorsed for sheriff by the Suffolk Conservative Party in March and was backed by both the Republican and Independent parties soon after. If elected, Boyle, a stepfather of two, said he wants to run the sheriff’s office in the most cost-effective manner possible, promote people based on merit rather than politics and halt the rise of drug overdoses and gang violence. He recently cosponsored a bill to ban the sale of machetes to minors, the weapon of choice for MS-13 gang members.

Republicans Phil Boyle and Larry Zacarese and democrat dan Caroleo are running for Suffolk County sheriff. The senator, who chaired and helped create the state Senate’s Joint Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction in 2013 to stamp out the growing drug problem, pointed to his active involvement pushing law enforcement issues in Albany as significant qualifiers. Under the task force, 18 hearings were held across the state, which led to 11 prevention, treatment and enforcement measures passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). When it comes to immigration issues, Boyle said he disagrees with how DeMarco has run the jail. “I work closely with federal immigration agents to make sure any individuals housed in the Suffolk
County jail that agents may want to interact with due to immigration status have access to that,” Boyle said. “DeMarco, for a while, made the jail a sanctuary jail, in my opinion, and I’m definitely not going to allow that to happen.” Zacarese, 43, of Kings Park, who is currently the assistant chief of the Stony Brook University police, said he’s looking forward to the primary. Zacarese and his “army of volunteers” are currently gathering 2,000 signatures in order to run. Confident he’s not just another choice, but the better choice, for the top law enforcement job, Zacarese outlined his 25-year law enforcement career. He started as a Holbrook volunteer fireman at 17, went to para-
medic school, then began to work in the NYPD as a patrol officer, canine handler and tactical paramedic. He became a sergeant, then deputy chief fire instructor at the Suffolk County Fire Academy and an adjunct lecturer at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Stony Brook University. For four years, while working at Stony Brook by day, Zacarese pursued his shelved passion, attending law school by night. He is currently admitted to practice law in the state. “My wife tells me I’m the biggest underachiever she knows,” the father of four said, laughing. “I’ve worked really hard rounding out all of the areas that are pertinent to the office of sheriff, which is much
more than just the person who oversees the correctional facilities.” He said, if elected, his main priority is the opioid crisis. “We really need to take a better look at the prevention and collaboration between addiction programs and not-for-profits, as well as how we can influence treatment while people are being incarcerated,” he said. “It’s about [providing] help while they’re in jail so when they return to their communities, they have started on the path to recovery.” Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chairman Richard Schaffer, campaign manager for Caroleo, 62, of North Babylon, who was unavailable for comment, said the former New York City police officer, director of security at the North Babylon School District and current member of the district’s school board has, “a wealth of experience, he’s well-rounded and I think he can work cooperatively with, and continue, what County Executive Steve Bellone (D), Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini, and DeMarco have laid out — making sure we continue to drive down jail population.” According to Schaffer, “Caroleo feels he has a great deal of public safety experience” that he could bring to the sheriff’s department.
town Port Jeff Station resident to challenge Cartright in Council District 1 By ALex PetRoSKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com Being a 25-year-old first-time candidate for public office might seem like a disadvantage to most, but don’t try to tell that to James Canale (R-Port Jefferson Station). Canale, a Port Jefferson Station resident for about 20 years, will run against incumbent Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) for a spot on the Town of Brookhaven board representing the 1st Council District in November. Cartright was first elected to the position in 2013 and is concluding her first term in office. Canale said in a phone interview he sees his age and inexperience in politics as an asset for his campaign. “Because I didn’t go to school for political science or political policy, I come in with a clean slate and no bias,” he said. “I am not entrenched in any party politics. I don’t owe anyone any favors. I’m just a regular guy and I want to make sure I never forget my roots. I see too many of my friends moving off Long Island because they can’t find opportunities here.” Canale identified repeatedly with being a millennial and said a major focus of his campaign will be trying to find ways to create opportunities for young people to find
employment and affordable places to live in Brookhaven. Also part of this new politician’s platform are the environment and animal rights issues. Canale, who currently works part time in the town’s Department of General Services, echoed many of the policies regarding the environment from the town’s top Republican — Supervisor Ed Romaine (R). “I don’t have kids but when I do I want to make sure that they’re able to have a high quality of life on Long Island,” Canale said. Sustainability, renewable sources of clean energy, investing in electric vehicles for the town fleet, the preservation of parklands and open spaces and clean air and water were among the environmental issues the candidate said he found most essential to the health and future of Brookhaven and Long Island as a whole. Canale received the nomination to run on the Republican ticket from the Brookhaven Town Republican Committee earlier in June, though Chairman Jesse Garcia did not respond to requests for comment. Other than Romaine, another local Republican the young candidate views as a role model is 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), and the congressman has taken notice. “I endorse James Canale for Brookhaven
Town’s 1st Council District,” Zeldin said through spokeswoman Jennifer DiSiena in an email. “James is an exceptional bipartisan candidate who is more than capable of taking on this role. James has demonstrated his commitment to fiscal responsibility, environmental protection, and making Brookhaven a better place to live and work. James will excel as a Councilman, and I am proud to lend him my support.” Though Canale said he doesn’t necessarily fall in line with Zeldin on every issue, he said he’s extremely proud to have his support and lauded the work he has done for veterans and his bipartisan approach to policy. He referred to himself as a progressive Republican. He said he is “very pro-LGBT,” believes in the public education system — which the Comsewogue school district graduate said he’s proud to be a product of — and said supporting small businesses should be a priority for all Brookhaven shoppers. Canale spoke respectfully of his November opponent, who did not return a request for comment. “I do think my opponent has done a commendable job in the town,” he said of Cartright. “She’s a very good person and I have the utmost respect for her.” Canale addressed the idea that he has stepped into a heated political climate, which

Lee Zeldin in his bid for Brookhaven town council. could present challenges in his first foray into the arena. “I’m a very honest guy with integrity, I always want to do the right thing,” he said. “I don’t have blinders on. I want to listen to everybody.” Disclaimer: James Canale previously worked as a freelance photographer at Times Beacon Record Newspapers and directed “The Culper Spy Adventure,” a TBR News Media production.

village One incumbent, one newcomer win in Poquott BY rita J. egan rita@tBrnewspapers.com Poquott residents headed to the voting booths June 20 with concerns over a future community dock and a lack of communication between residents and the village board. With five candidates to choose from for two trustee seats, incumbent Jeff Koppelson and newcomer John Richardson garnered the most votes with 180 and 195 votes, respectively. Challenger Debbie Stevens, who ran with Richardson on the Peace Party ticket, received 178, while incumbent Harold Berry had 170 and Angie Parlatore came in fifth with 28 votes. Results of the election were not finalized until early Wednesday afternoon. Village clerk Joseph Newfield said there were 306 voters and 84 absentee ballots. The counting of the ballots continued late into the night and 10 absentee ballots were challenged. The village met with the Suffolk Board of Elections Wednesday at noon
and all ballots were verified and counted. In a previous interview with The Village Times Herald, Koppelson said he was hoping to continue the work he accomplished in his first two years, citing the repairing and repaving of roads in the village, beach cleanup and working on plans for the dock. He said he was satisfied with the work he had accomplished with the mayor and his fellow trustees. “We want to continue our progress,” Koppelson said. “We’ve made a lot of good progress along with the mayor. We have a mission with what we want to do with Poquott.” Richardson, a New York City firefighter, said in a previous interview he felt there was a lack of transparency in the village, and he would like to be “a conduit for the village and the residents.” He said his background as a firefighter would be an asset to the village. “I work in a firehouse with 14 people,” he said. “I can definitely say I’m a team player, I have good communication skills. I will stand by what my platform is.”

A lesson in sugar, short and sweet (part one: the players) Your turn
BY chris zenYuh I have had the privilege of teaching high school science (biology, chemistry and physics) for the last thirty years. For the last ten years, I’ve had the additional privilege and responsibility of developing and teaching an elective we simply call “Food Science.” It’s not your usual health class dietary guidelines, nor does it rehash the familiar mantras of counting calories and exercising to balance intake. Instead, we study the cultural, historical, scientific, political and economic contexts of our food system and how that system impacts our environments, both external and internal. This in turn enables students to make much more informed decisions about what they want to put in their bodies. When it comes to sugars, confusion is the name of the game. There are dozens of ingredients that mark the presence of sugars in our food: maltodextrin, dextrose, invert sugar, cane sugar, high fructose corn syrup and starch, to name a few. Regardless of what the
food industry calls them, your body sees basically three end products of their digestion: glucose, fructose and galactose. Which ones you eat, and how much, will dictate both their value and their danger to you. You may have heard of three additional sugars — lactose, sucrose and maltose. Lactose is a combination of one glucose and one galactose. Also known as “milk sugar,” lactose is the nemesis of lactose-intolerant individuals who lack sufficient quantities of the enzyme that can digest it. Instead, bacteria that reside in their intestines get to process it, making painful amounts of gas as a byproduct. Galactose can be converted to glucose in your body, but most individuals do not consume enough dairy to make this a source of concern. Maltose is another type of sugar. It is a pairing of two glucose units and is the namesake for maltodextrin, etc. Consuming foods with maltose adds glucose to your diet — worth keeping track of as part of your total glucose consumption. However, the most likely source of sugars in your diet is either sucrose or high fructose corn syrup. Sucrose, known also as table sugar, can be derived from sugar cane (cane sugar) or sugar beets (sugar.) Like lactose and maltose, sucrose is a paired structure, made of one glucose subunit and one fructose subunit. That is what your body absorbs regardless of the source (even organic.) Sparing you the science behind its production, high fructose corn syrup is approximately half glucose, and half fructose too. Regardless of the marketing efforts by the Sugar Association and the Corn Refiners Association to make you believe one is better

for you than the other, they end up, metabolically, in a virtual tie. Debating which to consume is a distraction from the consequences of consuming too much of either, or both. The consumption of sugar (the term is legally owned by the Sugar Association as the sole name for sucrose) used to be limited by the relative expense and difficulty in obtaining it from its tropical source. Now the record levels of corn production in America have made it relatively cheap to produce and distribute sugar’s nearly identical-tasting competitor, high fructose corn syrup. You can find it in soda for sure, but also in pickles, peanut butter, ketchup and pretty much anywhere sugar might be used for additional appeal to consumers. This has paved the way for the combined
consumption of these sweeteners to reach more than 150 pounds per year per person in America. This far surpasses the 60 pounds per year considered by some experts to be the maximum amount that can be metabolized without ill consequences including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver, cataracts, personality and cognitive dysfunction, some cancers and (by the way) obesity. Tying glucose and fructose consumption to the metabolic consequences noted above requires further discussion. And now, you are properly prepared for those lessons. As we say in Food Science class, “Chow!” Chris Zenyuh is a science teacher at Harborfields High School and has been teaching for 30 years.

Setauket golf course celebrates a round of history By Rita J. EGan Rita@tBRnEwSPaPERS.Com As golfers compete in the finals of the Long Island Golf Association’s Amateur Championship at St. George’s Golf and Country Club June 23, history will be made — as the day marks the club’s 100th anniversary. St. George’s, located on Lower Sheep Pasture Road in Setauket, began as a dream of renowned golf course architect Devereux Emmett, who lived in Head of the Harbor with his wife Ella Batavia Smith. Ella was a descendent of Smithtown founder Richard Smythe and the niece of Alexander Turney Stewart, owner of the largest department store in the country in the 1800s and developer of Garden City. After Stewart’s death, Ella inherited a great sum of money, which allowed the young Smiths to buy an old family estate called Sherrewogue. John Ammerman, a former club president and head of the club’s centennial committee, said if the couple didn’t move from Cooperstown in upstate New York to Long Island, St. George’s might not exist. “[Emmet] got a bunch of his friends together, very wealthy people in New York City, who also had houses out here,” Am-
merman said. “I think he looked at five different pieces of property from Port Jefferson to Smithtown and picked this piece of property — the old Williamson farm — built the golf course and the rest is history.” Emmett, who designed more than 150 courses in his lifetime including the original Garden City Country Club, which opened in 1899, wanted to design a linksfree golf course for his family members and friends. While the club officially opened June 23, 1917, plans began in 1915 when Emmett met with 10 wealthy friends in New York City to discuss his plan. The architect discovered the property three miles from his estate and didn’t charge a fee to design the golf course. He would go on to be the green chairman for the first 10 years and club champion three times. The founders of the club read like a to transfer it to St. George’s. Who’s Who of the North Shore.

‘It hasn’t changed much at all, which is unusual for golf courses.’
The chair of the centennial committee said Gil Hanse, who designed the 2016 Olympic course in Rio, restored St. George’s in 2008. “The restoration was fairly uncomplicated compared to what it could have been,” he said. Ammerman said one or two tee boxes were changed, the 11th green was moved and small scrub trees were removed to open up the course. “It hasn’t changed much at all, which is unusual for golf courses,” Ammerman said. “To some extent it was because no one did anything, they just played golf, and they didn’t have grand ideas to change anything, which is great.” While the golf course has remained well-preserved, the current clubhouse isn’t the original, as through the century St. George’s has lost two of their clubhouses due to fires — the original in 1953 and the second in 1969. Listed as one of Golf Week’s Top 100 Best Classic Courses six years in a row, St. George’s will celebrate their centennial throughout the year. On July 29 their gala will feature a Great Gatsby theme, and The Society of Hickory Golfers will play at St. George’s using traditional hickory clubs Sept. 22 to 24.

Nonprofit groups working to save the Long Island Sound Participants collaborate with Huntington residents to create water quality report card for harbors and bays By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com There’s team collaboration happening across Long Island to ensure the water in the Long Island Sound is as healthy as possible. Save the Sound, a nonprofit organization based out of Connecticut, is working with local groups and volunteers to create a water quality report card for the Sound’s bays and harbors, in an effort to increase available data for residents to have access to. Monitoring of the open Sound — the areas of the water body beyond bays and harbors — in the last decade has revealed the increasing presence of nitrogen pollution. The contamination leads to algael blooms, red tides, loss of tidal marshes and fish die-offs, and the incremental improvements brought about by wastewater treatment plant upgrades. But researchers have acknowledged that results found in the open Sound may not reflect conditions in the bays and harbors, where a large part of the public comes in contact with the Sound’s water. In May, Save the Sound started conducting the Unified Water Study in 24 sites across the Sound, and participants will be testing the water twice a month through October, looking at dissolved oxygen levels, temperature, dissolved salt levels and overall water quality. Organizers gathered at Huntington Harbor in Halestie to conduct a test June 13, and explained why the report card is so important for the future of all bays and harbors across Long Island. The Long Island Sound Funders Collaborative funded a report card for the sound, with the first one coming out in 2015. “Through the report card process we realized that most of the data we had collected to talk about water quality and the health of the sound was for the open Sound,” said Tracy Brown, director of Save the Sound. “And when we published the report card and showed the scores of water quality, but we didn’t go into all the bays and harbors, the public said, ‘well how about my harbor? How about my cove?’”

clockwise from top left, a reading done after volunteers test the water quality in Huntington Harbor; tracy Brown shows the most recent report card for the water quality of the open Long island sound; and a volunteer conducts a water test. The bays, harbors and coves are their own unique ecosystems. As a result, Brown said, “we realized we had a data gap.” Certain groups have been doing their own studies in smaller areas, according to brown, but nothing uniform to have a comparative level. The report card focuses on the ecological health, not bacteria levels and risk of contamination for humans entering the water, but rather the creatures living in the water 24/7. “The pollutant of concern is nitrogen,” Brown said. “This study was designed to get into all 116 little bays, harbors and coves that encircle the sound, and our goal is to get into each of them taking the exact same measurements for an assessment to say which of the bays and harbors are not handling the nutrient input well, which ones are really suffering from nutrient pollution, and then we can direct conservation resources.” One of the leading causes of increased nitrogen is contamination from septic systems, according to Brown, as urine has high levels of nitrogen. She said efforts like Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D) initiatives to improve groundwater and limit nitrogen pollution are a step in the right direction. “Nitrogen pollution has been identified as the single greatest threat to water quality, but for the first time in decades, we have a historic opportunity to turn the tide in our effort to reclaim our waters,” Bellone said in a statement when announcing countywide nitrogen-reducing initiatives for homeowners. Brown reiterated some of the dangers of high levels of nitrogen. “High levels of nitrogen feed growth, creating algal blooms, and when the algal blooms die they suck the oxygen out of the water in that decay process so you create these low oxygen zones,” she said. Algal bloms are created as a result of a rapid in-
crease or accumulation in the population of algae in freshwater or marine water systems, and is recognized by the discoloration in the water from their pigments. Low oxygen levels in the water because of these blooms means finfish and shellfish can’t live in the area, and high nitrogen levels also lead to the destruction of coastal wetlands, which not only serve as a habitat for animals but also are a defense for homes from destructive storms. Brown also said high nitrogen levels are being linked to high acidification levels, which prevent shellfish from forming their shells and reduce the population’s ability to reproduce. About a year ago, Peter Janow, a Cold Spring Harbor resident, got in touch with Save the Sound after hearing about its efforts, and extended an offer to help if the group needed any hands for the Huntington and Northport bay areas. “Once they created the Uniform Water Study, they got in contact with me and asked if I could help out, and I said ‘absolutely brother,’” Janow said of how he first got involved. He eventually ended up joining more volunteers to work together in the area. He said he was motivated to get involved to both make a difference and help become an even more of a contributing member in his community. “Most folks, especially on Long Island we’re surrounded by gorgeous scenes, the harbors, all the water sports,” Janow said. “We [the volunteers] share in the duties, and the role is covering the greater Huntington and Northport complexes including Lloyd Harbor, Huntington Harbor, Centerport Harbor, Northport Harbor and Duck Island Harbor, and each one of those areas has its own qualities. We have a total of 25 specific locations we’re testing water samples from.” Janow said he and the others divide the areas up, spending about three hours over
two days testing water samples. The combined efforts are for the benefit of all Long Islanders, and residents can help without getting on the water themselves. “We really hope the public will see the significance,” Brown said. “If you want a better grade, you need to take care of your wastewater and reduce your lawn fertilizer. The science community has identified nitrogen as enemy No. 1 to the Long Island Sound, and the philanthropic community said, ‘what can we do?’ and then they reached out to regional groups to execute their vision, and then we’ve reached out to local groups for help. That’s what’s so interesting about this study — the collaboration.” The effort is far from over. Brown said there is still a need for more volunteers to do studies east of Huntington, including areas in the towns of Smithtown and Brookhaven, especially near the Nissequogue River and Port Jefferson Harbor. This effort travels all the way to Connecticut, and one science teacher at a town in Dover took the initiative to volunteer himself and his Advanced Placement students to help contribute. “One of the things that makes it possible for groups to organize to participate in this study, even if they’re not already a group, is that we provide the equipment, we provide the training, we provide the standard operating procedures, and Save the Sound is available to help them get off the ground and make sure they succeed,” Brown said. “If we’re going to reach all 116 systems around the Sound that we want to reach, we’re going to need more groups. We’re going to need new groups that don’t exist yet to organize around the study and ask if anyone is in their bay or harbor yet.” Anyone interested in getting involved with Save the Sound can reach out to Peter Linderoth, the Save the Sound water quality manager at Plinderoth@savethesound.org.

MLB Draft Continued from page A1 During his time away from the mound, the strength Wilson-Brown saw in her son is why she said she knows he has what it takes to climb the ranks and make it to the big leagues. “Dreams do come true,” she said. “This kid has been holding onto that dream for dear life, all of his life, and someone watching as closely as I could, as a parent — he’s a good boy with a good heart and this is so much-deserved.” Ward Melville head coach Lou Petrucci saw it, too. “It was a long road for him and he had to work hard,” he said. “Everybody roots for Ben. He’s just a good kid and he’s done a good job.” The sight of scouts is nothing new at Ward Melville, so when they came to see
Brown, he relished it. “I think every game I pitch in is a big game, but with the scouts there it made everything intensified,” he said. “Every little mistake was a big mistake, and I had to be on my best all the time. I really liked that.” Petrucci said he liked how it lit up the rest of the team. “Ben’s a gamer,” he said, laughing. “Ben’s a competitor. Would he get excited when the scouts were there? Sure. But I think the people that were most excited about having the scouts there were his teammates, because they love Ben.” The two-year captain follows in the footsteps of Ward Melville draftees Anthony Kay in 2016 and Steve Mats in 2009. He pitched in front of Matz during a training session with Petrucci in seventh grade, before Matz was called up to pitch for the New York Mets. He was 6 feet tall then. “They’re two really great people, and it’s really cool to be in the same ranks as

Anthony Kay and Steven Matz,” Brown said. “We have a phenomenal program, and it’s no surprise guys are getting drafted. Lou has been through it all and he really guided me through this process.” Petrucci actually first met Brown when he was in his class at Minnesauke Elementary School. After seeing him go 7-0 in his sophomore season, he knew his pitcher was on his way to a standout high school career. He watched Brown top out at 92 mph his senior season and have a strong showing in front of the Phillies brass two weeks before the draft, and he knew success was only a few picks away. “We knew it was coming,” he said. “It was a matter of when.” Now it’s only a matter of time before Brown is in the major leagues, the head coach said. As the youngest player picked by the Phillies — born Sept. 9, 1999 — Petrucci noted Brown could pitch three years in the minor leagues and still be a teenager. “I think his determination and dedication to baseball is what sets him apart from the average high school pitcher,” Petrucci said. “If he signs and forgoes college, he’ll be in the big leagues in five years. No question in my mind.” Commack’s Jesse Berardi and Shoreham-Wading River’s Brian Morrell were also selected by the Phillies this year. Morrell, the second player to win back-to-back Yasterzemski Awards — given to the best player in Suffolk County — was picked in the 35th round. Morrell trained with Brown at Infiniti Performance in Port Jefferson Station.
“Brian and I are really close,” he said. “He’s such a great kid. We actually joked about getting drafted to the same team, and we didn’t think it would happen.” Brown has committed to play baseball at Siena College in Albany, but after being drafted, he’s more determined than ever. “It makes me more motivated to become a better baseball player,” he said. “I don’t think I’m really that — Ben Brown good yet, so the fact that they see something in me makes me want to work even harder.” His mother said she wouldn’t want it any other way. “This is his dream — How do you take that away from a kid?” Wilson-Brown said. “We couldn’t even consider. The joy in this house that day was something I’ve never experienced before. I will never forget that moment.” Players drafted have until July 15 to sign a contract. If a player opts not to sign and attend school instead, he will be eligible to be drafted again in three years. But Petrucci is already dreaming up Matz or Kay versus Brown scenarios. “They’re making baseball relevant—it’s nice to see Long Island baseball get the recognition it deserves,” Petrucci said. “To see these kids pursue their dreams and have their dreams unfold right before our very eyes, that’s what you want to see. We all work to see kids realize their dreams, and Ben Brown was the next in line.”
‘I don’t think I’m really that good yet, so the fact that they see something in me makes me want to work even harder.’

OpiniOn Editorial
Father’s Day reflections
To commemorate Father’s Day last Sunday, our editorial staff wanted to take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the dedicated and caring fathers and father figures who have shaped our lives. Rita J. Egan: Everyone gets one father but some get more than one, and on Father’s Day I remember all the men who stepped in and filled the void in a child’s life. After my parents separated, I moved in with my maternal grandparents, and it was my grandfather who provided paternal guidance in my life. I would spend hours following him around as he worked on his paintings or did his chores around the house and yard. A left-hander like me, he showed me how to write neatly and taught me how to draw — two things I never quite mastered as well as he did. He’s the one who bought my friend and me tickets to my favorite boy band’s concert, even though at first he and my grandmother told me I couldn’t go to their Nassau Coliseum show. He’s the one who went to the parent-teacher’s conference and drove me to religion classes and kickline practices. And, those memories and many others are what are cherished on Father’s Day. Desirée Keegan: Being a single parent, my mother had to be soft but stern, a protector and a provider, a patriarch and an exemplar. Like many single moms, she has always been a guiding light, sacrificing for the betterment of her two children, but was always right there to be a shoulder to cry on or a handyman when needed too. She built a better life — her sacrifices led to greater rewards, and with limited resources, she ensured mental and emotional well-being, while always making sure there was food on the table. Through thick and thin my mother has supported me. She’s the biggest inspiration in my life, and she surpasses Superman in my mental list of heroes. Mom, you are powerful. You’ve been two parents in one. To my compassionate, loving, beautiful mother who has always been more than enough, Happy Father’s Day to you. Victoria Espinoza: The first time I saw my dad teaching a science class at Hofstra University, I saw a man I had never seen in the 18 years we shared a roof — the excitement and passion in his eyes, the joy when his students raised their hands and participated in the lesson. It’s a memory I will never forget of Dr. Fernando Espinoza. On my bedroom wall is a chalkboard with the phrase, “Just because it’s not intuitive, doesn’t mean I don’t have the capacity to learn it.” Spoken from the brain of my father, the nutty professor, it’s a lesson I carry with me. It can relate to my dad’s travels to America from Colombia, his struggles learning English, his journey becoming a father of four, and the wisdom he hopes to instill in his students. One day I hope it will help describe my life as well. There are no words I would rather have define my life than the words of my father. Alex Petroski: Being a baseball and hockey dad undoubtedly presents a number of challenges for most fathers. Striking a balance between focused direction in the hopes of achieving improvement and never failing to remember that you’ve all gathered to enjoy a kids’ game is surely no easy task. As I got older and the competition in the moment seemed more and more important, a third task presented itself for my dad. No matter how many times I kicked a ground ball that let a run score, or missed picking up a man cutting to the net for a goal, after some words of advice on how to do better next time, the conversation always went back to the positives. No mistake was large enough to dwell on and ignore even the most miniscule sign of improvement that his trained eye had picked up. He juggled those three things masterfully and as a result I have nothing but fond memories of the times my dad and I spent on the same field or rink as part of the same team. Many negative connotations associated with youth sports in our country would be demolished if there were more dads like mine out there. Kevin Redding: I never feel less driven than when I’m around my dad. He’s a man of many talents, with a particular knack for building and cooking things. There hasn’t been a day I’ve known him where he hasn’t built some sort of elaborate piece of furniture or fun accessory and followed it up with a delicious home-cooked meal, a personal favorite being his Korean barbecue. Just a few years ago he went back to college to attain an engineering degree with hopes that it would bring him a new and exciting career … and it worked. He and my mom live in Florida now, where he works as an entertainment technician and lighting crew chief at Hollywood Studios in Disney World. Love ya, dad.
Letters to the editor
The ghosts of Watergate On July 27, 1974, the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives voted three articles of impeachment of President Nixon. Article 1 charged Nixon with “interfering or endeavoring to interfere with the conduct of [Watergate] investigations by the …. Federal Bureau of Investigation.” The key evidence: the “smoking gun tape” in which, in the Oval Office, Nixon authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to convince the FBI to halt the Watergate investigation. Nixon, soon thereafter, resigned. History is repeating itself. In mid-2016, FBI Director James Comey commenced an investigation of Russian interference (with potential Trump campaign collusion) in the 2016 election cycle. January 26, 2017, the White House was informed that Trump confidant and National Security Agency Director Michael Flynn was part of that investigation. The very next day, at a one-on-one dinner at the White House, Trump,
despite having told Comey that he was doing a great job and would continue in his 10-year term, requested from Comey a loyalty pledge as the price of keeping his job. Comey declined the request. On Feb. 14, after clearing the room of everyone including the attorney general (Comey’s boss), Trump stated to Comey: “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this [Flynn investigation] go, to letting Flynn go … ” During March 30 and April 11 telephone calls, Trump asked Comey to “lift the cloud” of the ongoing Russian investigation that was impairing his ability to act. Trump apparently made similar requests to the heads of the NSA, DNI and CIA. All such inappropriate requests were rejected. Comey chose independence over “loyalty” and obstruction. On May 9, Trump fired Comey conceding, in a Lester Holt interview, that he did so because of the ongoing Russian investigation. The next day, Trump
stated to two Russian operatives in the Oval Office, “I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job … I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” Thankfully, Trump’s pressuring and then firing of Comey in an attempt to end the investigation was thwarted by the appointment of a special prosecutor. James Clapper, former director of national intelligence, stated that “Watergate pales in comparison to the Trump-Russia scandal.” The American people agree: 61 percent believing that Trump fired Comey to protect himself; 56 percent believing that Trump is interfering in the Russian investigations; and, at this early stage, 43 percent supporting Trump’s impeachment. No one knows whether Trump will suffer the same impeachment fate as Nixon. But all should heed the words of George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Zeldin, listen to the experts I was disappointed to see Congressman Lee Zeldin come out in support of President Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement. Zeldin’s support flies in the face of his sitting on the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and the Long Island Sound Caucus. In supporting this withdrawal, Zeldin ignores the 97 percent of scientists who agree that climate change is real and man-made. Unfortunately, this seems to be something of a pattern with Congress-

man Zeldin. He ignored the criticisms of the American Health Care Act by the American Medical Association, the AARP, numerous hospital and disability advocacy groups and the AFLCIO when he cast his ballot in support of Trumpcare. In ignoring the scientists and doctors when making his decisions, the congressman is ignoring those who he is supposed to represent. Between Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory, there is a large constituent population of medical professionals, scientists and
researchers whose expertise he disregards. It is my hope that Congressman Zeldin will begin to listen to the experts weighing in on these important issues, and heed their suggestions, instead of taking marching orders from Donald Trump, Paul Ryan and donors like Robert Mercer. This congressman was elected to represent a district with diverse views and is thoroughly failing to do the job he swore an oath to uphold.

OpiniOn Taking extra time to reach your goals

urry, hurry, hurry! You’ve got five minutes to get to the high school before your daughter’s graduation. It usually takes six. You might have to go faster than the speed limit, but you’ve done it before. Your daughter looks great and she’s so calm. You push on the accelerator on the straight road ahead. Your daughter takes a deep breath. OK, just a little faster and you’ll make it. Oh, no, no, no, a small car pulls in front By Daniel Dunaief of you. It’s being driven at 25 mph in a 35 mph zone. Why do cars pull in front of you and then go slowly? “Come on!” you implore, flicking your fingers forward as if you were

trying to scratch a chalkboard from the bottom up. “Dad, it’s OK,” your daughter insists. “I don’t want you to be late,” you say. You drive carefully around a curve and head for another straight part of the road. You reach a stop sign, where a BMW misses an opening to go. It was a small one, but you’ve got to make your own openings in this town. That’s what you’d tell everyone today if you were giving the speech your daughter won the right to deliver. Your daughter did better in school than you did. That makes you proud, but you don’t have time to be proud. All these people are slowing you down. You just have a few more turns. A Girl Scout troop crosses the road in front of you. Your daughter was in Girl Scouts years ago, but you don’t like them now. They’re making you late for such an important day for the family. Then the Girl Scouts, whose uniforms make you think of those mint cookies, cross the street. You’re a block
from the school and a sedan takes forever to park. You grind your teeth and lift your hand to touch the horn. Your daughter puts her hand firmly on yours and shakes her head slowly. The woman with streaks of gray in her hair and a green suit looks vaguely familiar as she gets out of a car. Finally, you park, get in the school and, shockingly, your daughter’s friends have reserved you great seats. You pick up your phone to start recording your daughter’s speech. The camera’s out of memory. You grind your teeth as you try to delete enough old pictures to record this magic moment. “Good morning,” your daughter’s voice offers the room. Your wife tells you to stop fiddling with your phone and look up. After your daughter shares memories of high school, she wants to offer advice to her class. “I want you to remember to leave some margin for error,” she urges.
Right, you smile. Your daughter, who made so many fewer errors than you did, is talking to the other people about their mistakes. You nod to the other people. “If we need to do something, to be somewhere or to accomplish anything, we need to accept that the route might include detours or unexpected obstacles,” she offers, sharing that crooked smile she developed in middle school. “It’s not anyone else’s fault. If it’s important, don’t blame the obstacles. Be prepared for them. Planning means understanding them and giving yourself some extra time to reach your goals.” You take a deep breath, the way she did so many times while she waited for you at the entrance to the house. You look around the room to see if anyone else knows she’s talking to you. You now recognize the woman on stage with streaks of gray in her hair and a green suit; she’s the superintendent of schools. You realize how much smarter your daughter is than you.

constraints of almost every kind. Of course we still have to do things like take out the garbage and water the lawn and the plants, but those regular chores are so much easier when it isn’t winter-frigid or spring-wet. We’ll suffer spraying to keep the mosquitoes away, checking for ticks and smearing on countless layers of sunscreen as long as we can don a bathing suit, grab a towel and whip down to a beach. We might even bring some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with us, but somehow making them then doesn’t seem such an effort. The first sense to awaken in the morning for me these days is my hearing. Before I even open my eyes, I delight in the bird songs. Those birds have been up for hours, it seems, and they are heavily in conversation. Who knows what they are saying? Maybe they’re planning the day’s activities, or maybe they are just scolding each other. My best guess is that they are gossiping as they work, searching for food for

their newborns and themselves. Their sounds draw my eyes to the window before I rise. If the sun is bright, then the sky is a rich blue and the leaves dancing on the tree limbs are a lush summer green. A tiny white butterfly passes in front of the panes, followed by a swooping bird on a mission. I hear the birds again and I realize now what they are saying: “Get up, get up you sleepyhead. You’ve already slept half the day away.” I jump out of bed. It is only a little past 7 o’clock, but it has long been light. I know that because these are the longest days of the year, and that makes most of us happy. And I realize that I don’t have to hurry. For most of us, summer is a time to slow down and kick back a little — unless we sell ice cream or are landscapers. It’s a time to read a book, socialize later into the day, go to an air-conditioned movie or otherwise just relax. Do you wonder how people in California regard summer, in places like San Diego where it is pretty warm all year round? I think summer

is a state of mind as well as a warm succession of weeks. Even residents of La Jolla must enjoy the freedoms that come with the season, spoiled though they might be by the pictureperfect weather. I don’t know if children do this so much any more with the various enrichment activities available but, when I was a child, summer was a time to do nothing — or anything I wanted to do each day when I awoke. Much of my time was taken up with reading. I would take stacks of books from the public library, with special dispensation from the neighborhood librarian who got to know me, and read them throughout the summer under a tree, on a chaise, at a pool before I fell asleep at night. I realized years later that I not only enjoyed the magic carpet trip that a book afforded me but especially the learning that came from its pages. Here’s wishing us wonderful weeks ahead as we rejoice in the warmth, the light, the colors — and the freedoms of summer.
