Clockwise from above, participants at Setauket Elementary School’s Spring Fling decorate rocks with positive messages; samples of colorful rocks with inspirational slogans and characters; local Girl Scout troop gets ready to hide some rocks after a painting event; and more stones that can be found hidden at local locations.

E. Setauket mom encourages others to spread positivity By JEnnA LEnnon Denise Allicino has started a movement with the hopes of spreading positivity in her hometown and beyond — simply by scattering decorated rocks around several local parks and public places. The East Setauket resident and her family along with members of her Facebook groups, “Suffolk County Rocks” and “Nassau County Rocks,” decorate and hide rocks with positive messages on them to be found and kept or hidden again for future finders. Rocks have been spotted in local parks such as Avalon Park and Preserve in Stony Brook and Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve in Commack. The idea for this “pay it forward type movement” came about when Allicino’s

cousin visited from Florida. “We had some rocks laying around, and I saw online some people were also painting rocks, and I thought it’d be a cute little thing,” Allicino said. “I’m actually a graphic designer so I always have to have some sort of creative outlet. So it was a rainy day, she was visiting me. It was a perfect opportunity. I had my two girls with me, and we decided to paint some rocks.” A few months later, her cousin messaged her. “She goes ‘you’re not going to believe this: people are hiding rocks all over the place,’” Allicino said. Her cousin mentioned a Facebook group in her area dedicated to painting and hiding rocks with over 10,000 members. Allicino decided to try and bring a similar group to Long Island. What started with just 80 members back in March has quickly grown to a combined nearly 800 members. “People have kind of just taken it and ran with it,” Allicino said. “They’re painting their own rocks, they’re hiding them, and that’s it. It’s just going on its own, it has its own momentum, and it’s just gaining speed.” Painters are encouraged to include instructions on the back of the rock such as the name of the Facebook page, so people know where to post pictures, and what to do with a rock after it’s found. It is up to the finder whether they wish to keep it or re-hide it. But Allicino only has one real rule: keep it positive. “I think that’s what everyone likes about it is that it’s just so uplifting, just something good out there in the world for free for no reason,” she said. “Even if people aren’t on social media and don’t post a picture of the rock they find, it doesn’t even matter. The

whole point is to just brighten someone’s day, so that’s what we’ve been trying to do, just keep it completely positive.” Jennifer Fallon began painting rocks after Allicino brought a rock-painting event to their daughters’ religion group at St. James Roman Catholic Church. Since then, Fallon has participated in six different painting sessions and hiding in the community. “It’s unexpected first of all,” Fallon said. “And then when you turn the rock over and you’re directed to the Facebook page you see that other people are painting rocks and enjoying them and spreading good messages to other people, I think it brings people together.” Other rock-painting events include Setauket Elementary School’s Spring Fling and several Girl Scout Troop meetings. Shawn Patrick and his two nieces first went rock hunting at a local beach about six months ago. “Then we went to Michaels and bought the paints and got to it,” Patrick said in an

email statement. “It was really a nice day. Without cell phones, iPads, etc., and the kids loved it. I mean it took up the whole day.” Patrick said he appreciated the simplicity of the craft. “It’s really something that gives a nod to simpler times,” he said. “And now it’s spread all over. And it’s something you can do all the time and spend quality time with the kids. I think that’s why it’s spreading so fast. It’s like one of the few things that kids seem to like to do with family without being distracted.” Allicino said there were many benefits for children when it comes to the movement. “There’s nothing bad about it,” Allicino said. “They’re out there running, they’re getting exercise, and it’s community service, so now they’re also giving to the community.” Allicino continued, “That was one of my main things was getting my kids active in it too and teaching them to give back. Whether they get a picture posted on Facebook or not, they get a lot out of it.”

setauket firefighters, above, fighting a 2010 stable fire in old Field.

Setauket Fire District boundaries expand to include Old Field By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com Residents of Old Field Village will see a new line on their Brookhaven tax bill for 2018. At a July 20 Brookhaven Town public hearing, the town council unanimously approved a motion to extend the boundaries of the Setauket Fire District to include Old Field. The change means that instead of paying for contractual services through the village budget, residents will pay taxes for fire, rescue and emergency services to the town when the new tax billing period begins Dec. 1. Towards the end of last year, Old Field Mayor Michael Levine and the village board of trustees requested the expansion after the village received fire and emergency protection services from the district on a contractual basis for decades. The village includes approximately 400 homes and no commercial properties, and while residents received the same services from Setauket fire departments as residents in the district, they were unable to vote in district elections or run for a position on the board. Marie Michel, assistant town attorney, said the hearing was required by the state. “While a fire district is its own municipal entity, New York State town law requires that the town in which the fire district is situated conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed fire district extension,” Michel said. According to the plan prepared by Hauppauge-based law firm Farrell Fritz, P.C. and posted on the Brookhaven Town website, the cost of the one-year contract

for Old Field in 2017 was $515,000 with the right to renew in 2018 at the same rate. From 2012 to 2016, the village paid a contractual rate, which increased slightly each year. The cost of the contract ranged from $340,000 in 2012 to $382,673 in 2016. The increase in the cost of the contract was attributed to the fire district’s plans to expand and refurbish the existing Main Street Fire Station at a cost of approximately $14 million dollars. Both Stephen Shybunko, Old Field deputy mayor, and Jay Gardiner, vice chairman of fire commissioners, were in attendance at the July 20 public hearing. Shybunko said the village’s reasons to be included in the fire district were monetary. “The amount of payment proposed in the most recent contract would be equal to what the tax rate was so in fairness and equity we have been going through the steps to be included in the fire district as we will be paying a rate equal to all other members of the fire district,” Shybunko said. Gardiner said the board of fire commissioners was in favor of the resolution. “We have been providing fire and emergency services to Old Field for over 50 years, and we intend to continue to provide excellent fire, rescue and emergency services,” the commissioner said. Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said residents who spoke at a previous town board meeting asked if taxes would increase for residents within the fire district’s current boundaries. “Their taxes will not be raised as a matter of this extension,” Michel said

County Legislature plans for permanent drug advisory panel By Kyle Barr Following another year of rising opioid use and overdoses, Suffolk County officials announced legislation that would create a new permanent advisory panel to try to address the issue. “We have lost people from this [problem],” Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said during a July 25 press conference. “Children have died, adults have died and we’re here to do more.” The panel would have 24 members, including representatives from health and science groups, members of law enforcement, hospital employees and individuals from the Legislature’s Committees on Health, Education and Human Services and would focus on prevention, education, law enforcement and drug rehabilitation across the county, Anker said. The panel is planned to be broken up into sub-committees, which would tackle a specific area. “This is an issue that needs all hands on deck,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini said. “We are not going to arrest ourselves out of this — this is a public health issue [of historic proportion], but law enforcement plays a critical role.” Over 300 people from Suffolk County died from opioidrelated overdosess in 2016, according to county medical examiner records. Sini said that in 2016, the police administered Narcan, a nasal spray used as emergency treatment to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, in Suffolk County over 700 times. A 2010 bill saw the creation of a similar advisory panel with 13 members, many of whom are members of the new proposed panel. The original, impermanent panel ended five years ago, but had made 48 recommendations to the legislature focused mainly on prevention education, treatment and recovery. Two recommendations from this committee that were put in effect were the Ugly Truth videos shown in public schools, and countywide public Narcan training. Though proud of the work they did on that panel, members agreed the situation has worsened since it was disbanded. “[Seven] years ago we stood here and announced the initial panel — I had the privilege of co-chairing that group — a lot of the things we recommended actually happened, some things didn’t,” said Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, chief executive officer of the Family and Children’s Association. “Regardless, the problem hasn’t gotten any better, and in fact, it’s gotten progressively worse. Some of the gaps in prevention, access to treatment, recovery and law enforcement haven’t yet been filled. For us to have an ongoing opportunity to have a dialogue together — to brainstorm some new solution to disrupt the patterns here — is very, very valuable.” On the education side, Islip School District Superintendent of Schools Susan Schnebel said at the press conference that education has to begin at a very young age. “It’s important that schools take hold of what happens in the beginning,” she said. “That includes educating students at a very early age, educating the parents to know what’s there, what are the repercussions, what is the law. That needs to happen with a 5 or 6-year-old.” Executive director of the North Shore Youth Council Janene Gentile, and member of the proposed panel, feels that the advisory panel is an important step. She said she hopes that it will be able to do more in helping prevent people, especially young people, from using opioids in the first place, and hopefully help those exiting rehab. “Implementing a family component when they are in rehab is really crucial, while they are in rehab and when get out,” Gentile said. “There are other agencies like mine — 28 in Suffolk County. If we can reach out to them they can help with re-entry [into society]. They go on the outside and the triggers that started them on opioids are still there, and they need to have places where there are no drugs. We’ve gone through a lot, but we’ve got to do more — and prevention works.” 150640

Connor’s project of building four large wooden picnic tables at Hope Academy in Mount Sinai has proven to be of great benefit to those in the program who are overcoming personal difficulties. Hope Academy is associated with Hope House Ministries. James’ project focused on the protection of the Three Village Garden Club/Arboretum by installing deer fences and shrubs.

Mather Hospital announces plans to affiliate with Northwell A Port Jefferson institution established in 1929 is set to undergo an unprecedented change, the likes of which has never occurred during its near-90-year history. John T. Mather Memorial Hospital leadership has signed a letter of intent to join Northwell Health, New York’s largest health care provider, which has 22 hospitals under its umbrella. Prior to the agreement, Mather was one of just two Long Island hospitals unaffiliated with a larger health system. Mather’s board considered affiliation with Stony Brook University Hospital, though ultimately decided on Northwell.

“I don’t think it’s a good decision,” State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) said in a phone interview. LaValle is a fervent supporter of the university, often publicly spotted wearing a red SBU baseball cap. “For 50 years-plus there’s been a culture in place if people needed tertiary care they would go from Mather to Stony Brook. Stony Brook will still be in place, will still offer services and people still if they choose can go to Stony Brook.” LaValle said he didn’t know why Mather decided to go with Northwell, and members of Mather’s board declined to discuss specifics of the agreement with Northwell because discussions are ongoing. The changeover could take place as soon as prior to the end of the year.

“I would have wished that the Mather board would have been considerate of the people in their area rather than for whatever other reasons they made this decision,” LaValle said. “I don’t know whether Northwell came in with a bag of cash and that’s why they made the decision; but if they were making the decision based on the people they serve in their catchment area they would have gone with Stony Brook.” Mather Hospital Vice President of Public Affairs Nancy Uzo, said Stony Brook was considered an option for affiliation and offered an explanation by email as to why it was ultimately spurned. “Our goal through this process is to ensure that our communities continue to have access to advanced, high quality care and superior satisfaction close to home and to serve the best interests of our medical staff and employees,” she said. Mather Board of Directors Chairman Ken Jacoppi and President Ken Roberts declined to comment further through Uzo. “Our community, employees and medical staff have a deep commitment to Mather Hospital,” Roberts said in a press release. “We chose a partner that would support our culture of caring as well as our future growth.” Stony Brook University Senior Vice President for the Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine Kenneth Kaushansky declined to comment on Mather’s decision via email. President Samuel L. Stanley Jr. did not respond to a direct request for comment nor through a university spokeswoman. In 2016 the American Hospital Association released research suggesting hospital mergers like the one Mather is set to undertake result in cost savings and quality improvements. According to the research, mergers decrease costs due to economies of scale, reduced costs of capital and clinical standardization among other efficiencies. An analysis showed a 2.5 percent reduction in annual operating expenses at acquired hospitals. After the merger is official, Mather and Huntington hospitals will be the only Northwell hospitals on the North Shore in Suffolk County. “Mather Hospital is known for patient-centric care both in the community and throughout the industry,” Michael Dowling, Northwell’s president and CEO said in a statement. “That deeply embedded sense of purpose is the type of quality we want to represent Northwell Health, along with an excellent staff of medical professionals and physicians. Together, Mather and Northwell will play a crucial partnership role expanding world class care and innovative patient services to Suffolk County residents.” In what some view as a related move, Stony Brook announced in a press release Aug. 1 that Southampton Hospital would become a member of the Stony Brook Medicine health system. “Today we celebrate a unique opportunity in which academic medicine and community medicine can come together to benefit our entire region,” Stanley said. “We will continue to build on successful collaborations achieved over the past ten years, which have already brought many new programs to the East End, including a robust number of internship and residency programs at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, and where students enrolled in graduate programs in the health sciences on the Stony Brook Southampton campus can put their training to good use as the next generation of allied health professionals to help address the shortage of providers on the east end and beyond.” The acquisition will result in new offerings at Stony Brook including a provisional Level 3 Trauma Center, with 24-hour coverage by emergency medicine doctors and a trauma surgeon available within 30 minutes, a Hybrid Operating Room with sophisticated imaging capabilities and a new cardiology practice in Southampton with Stony Brook cardiologists, among other benefits. LaValle declined to classify Mather’s decision as a “loss” for Stony Brook and added he expects Mather and the university to continue to enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship going forward. “Stony Brook is close by and they will reach out and still try to encourage both local physicians and people to come to Stony Brook,” he said.

Stony Brook couple hosts international symposium on rare disease By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com When their son Matthew, now 17, was diagnosed with Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 11 years ago, Sherri and Dave Seyfert’s world was turned upside down. The diagnosis led the Stony Brook couple to join the cause to find a cure for the rare autoimmune disease that affects 1 in 2 million people in the United States, and the results of their efforts culminated recently with the Second International Symposium on APS Type 1 at Stony Brook University July 13 through 15, an event they organized and hosted. The Seyferts with Todd and Heather Talarico of New Jersey founded the APS Type 1 Foundation with the main goal of making physicians more aware of the rare disorder. In the last decade, the families have raised $500,000 for research through fundraising events, which includes basket raffles organized by the Seyferts at the Setauket firehouse on Main Street. The Seyferts said the basket raffles were always popular thanks to the support of local businesses and residents, and their fundraising success led to the hosting of the July symposium that gave researchers an opportunity to share information. It also provided patients and their loved ones a chance to find

a much-needed support system. Attendees traveled from all over the country as well as Ireland and South America to share their experiences. The couple said life after a diagnosis can sometimes be lonely for families. “The symposium gave [families] the opportunity to share, to be able to provide each other with support and also listen to the researchers giving them hope that there’s a lot of research going on out there,” Sherri Seyfert said. The Seyferts said “there are a lot of moving pieces” when it comes to APS Type 1, because the body has trouble metabolizing Vitamin D, which helps in the process of providing calcium to bones and muscles, including the heart.. A patient can experience various symptoms including cramping, bone mass problems and an irregular heart rhythm. However, a triad of disorders identifies the disease: adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s), hypoparathyroidism, and Candidiasis. “So everybody is actually a little bit different as far as what conditions they have, even though they’ll share three things,” Dave Seyfert said. He said the disease overall is manageable, even though patients can develop something new every decade of their life. “Each time we have a hospitalization or emergency room visit or are in ICU, for the most part we learn something that will keep us out of there for that particular thing next time,” the father said. He said the couple chose the university to recognize the contributions of Stony Brook Children’s Hospital to the community and their quick diagnosis of Matthew when he was six years old. At the time he was experiencing excessive fatigue and suffered a seizure in kindergarten. His father said it took 48 hours for the team at Stony Brook to diagnosis his son. It can sometimes take years to identify the disease in a patient. The couple said the symposium included a section for children and teenagers to interact separately from adults. Matthew attended the event and assisted in escorting guests and served as a microphone runner

Dr. Andrew Lane, professor of clinical pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at Stony Brook Medicine, and Dr. Mark Anderson, director of University of California, San Francisco’s Medical Scientist Training Program, were among the speakers at the symposium. “I thought it was really uplifting,” Lane said. “It was really great to see all the families supporting each other. It was also great for the physicians and scientists in the audience to interact, and informally and formally hear each other’s work and help recognize what areas need further work.” Anderson, who met the Seyferts at the first symposium in Toronto, Canada in 2015, said there is hope for those diagnosed with APS Type 1. He said with stem cell transplants, the thymus, a gland that sits in front of the heart and plays a part in APS Type 1, may possibly be reprogrammed. “That’s the type of thing that families want to know that someone is working on

the problem,” Anderson said. Lane, who was part of the team that diagnosed Matthew, said the symposium was the perfect opportunity for families to raise concerns directly to internationally recognized researchers in the field, and he is amazed that the family went from organizing basket raffles to hosting a symposium. “I think that [the Seyferts] are just a fantastic example of encouraging people to believe that for whatever medical condition or other condition in the world they are interested in fixing, even small things can make a difference and sometimes turn into really big things,” Lane said. Matthew was too shy to comment on the event, according to his mother, but she said the whole family was left with hope after the three-day symposium. “People were thanking me, and my response always was it’s an honor to be able do this for everyone,” his mother said.

Three Village plans final phase of Smart Schools Bond spending By anDREa palDy

As another school year drew to a close, the final Three Village school board meeting of 2016-17 brought news of security enhancements and the district’s third phase of spending for its Smart Schools Bond allocation. The Smart Schools Bond, an initiative approved by New York voters in 2014, allocated $2 billion to public schools across the state for education technology, preschool classrooms and security. Three Village received $3.39 million from the fund, which is being spent on hardware, equipment and infrastructure. Speaking at the district’s final meeting for the school year, safety and security coordinator Jack Blaum said that the final phase of spending — about $1 million — will include an upgrade to security cameras, digital video recorder storage and card key access devices. The district will convert cameras it al-

ready has on its properties from analogue to digital, Blaum said. Besides those cameras, located both in the interior and on the exterior of district buildings, officials plan additional digital security cameras at each school and will install wireless cameras at the two junior high schools to monitor the athletic fields. There is already a surveillance system for the fields at the high school. To accommodate all of the new cameras, new DVR units will be purchased for the district’s schools. Blaum said the upgrades will also boost the number of key card readers at doors for faculty and staff at all schools, the North Country Administration Building and the old administration building on Nicolls Road. He said that there will also be additional ID scanners in building vestibules to produce visitor badges. He discussed turning the old administration building into a command center where cameras and security vehicles could be monitored. For Phase 1 of the Smart Schools Bond,

money, about $1.2 million, has been budgeted for upgrading network infrastructure. Phase 2, recently outlined in April, will see the district spending about $1 million on classroom technology and on the district’s one-to-one device program that will provide notebook computers to junior high students. The plan was posted to the district’s website for a 30-day period to allow residents to comment. The 30-day comment period has now passed, and the district is currently in the process of submitting the plan to the New York State Education Department for approval. While the district still awaits approval of the first two phases of spending, he anticipates that many of the security requests will be “fast-tracked.” Coordinating security within the district is like running a small city, Blaum said. “All the infrastructure is great but, again, the support of all the staff and all the students are crucial,” he said.

A presidential visit to Suffolk County ended with the Suffolk County Police Department distancing itself from President Donald Trump’s (R) comments encouraging police officers to use more force with suspects at an event in Brentwood Friday, July 28. “Please don’t be too nice,” Trump said to an audience of Suffolk County Police officers. “When you guys put somebody in their [police] car and you’re protecting their head, you know the way you put your hand over their head? Like don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody. I said you can take the hand away okay?” Officers broke into laughter and applause after Trump’s remarks, however less than two hours after he spoke police departments and organizations throughout the country came out to condemn Trump’s words. “As a department, we do not and will not tolerate roughing up of prisoners,” the Suffolk department said in a statement on Twitter. “The SCPD has strict rules and procedures relating to the handling of prisoners. Violations of those rules are treated extremely seriously.” For Suffolk County, the subject of police brutality is especially important, as disgraced former police chief James Burke was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for use of violent force with suspect Christopher Loeb, along with attempting to cover up his efforts and more. During the trial Loeb, who was imprisoned for a parole violation said the incident changed his life, according to a report from The New York Times. “I will never again feel comfortable in Suffolk County, the place I used to call home,” he said. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) vowed to “reform [Suffolk County] governmentally and politically in a way that we can ensure this doesn’t happen again,” as a result of the details of Burke’s crimes becoming public. Trump traveled to Suffolk to talk about efforts to eradicate gang violence, particularly with MS-13, which has been associated with violent criminal offenses in the past year in the county, especially in Brentwood. Other police departments also condemned Trump’s rhetoric. “To suggest that police officers apply any standard in the use of force other than what is reasonable and necessary is irresponsible, unprofessional and sends the wrong message to law enforcement as well as the public,” a statement from the New York City Police Department said. One police officer from Gainesville, Florida directly called out both the president and the Suffolk cops who cheered on his remarks. “I’m a cop,” Ben Tobias said on Twitter. “I do not agree with or condone POTUS remarks today on police brutality. Those that applauded and cheered should be ashamed.” Despite the reaction from the crowd, the Suffolk County Police Department was quick to distance itself from Trump’s remarks. U.S. Rep Lee Zeldin (R) traveled with Trump throughout his trip to Long Island and praised the president for his efforts. “This administration has taken a hard stance against gang activity, and it is imperative that we come together as one community in rejection of this violence which has claimed too many innocent lives,” he said in a statement. “It is our obligation to make eradicating this criminal organization a top priority.” Zeldin did not respond to requests for comment regarding Trump’s encouragement of police using less restraint with suspects. Outside the event Trump supporters were grateful to have the president come and focus on their issues. Smithtown resident Angela Martinez spoke in support for the president. “This is the best, Trump coming here,” she said in an interview. “This is supposed to be good for the Island, this is supposed to be good for the community. The community really needs to work together.” Additional reporting contributed by Kyle Barr.

Councilwoman Susan Berland smiles with a free sunscreen dispenser.

A bright idea At one Huntington beach, if you and your family and friends forgot to pack sunscreen for the day, you’re in luck. Town Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) started a pilot program last year at Crab Meadow Beach with a free sunscreen dispenser, and this year she hopes to expand the program to 14 locations, including town beaches, parks and the town pool. Berland is a skin cancer survivor and has made it her responsibility to educate others on the dangers of melanoma and how to keep your skin safe and healthy. We applaud her efforts. Skin cancer has been found in more patients than all other cancers combined in the last three decades, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon, and one in five Americans will eventually develop skin cancer. We now know more about the risks and consequences of tanning than we did even 10 years ago. We need to be smart with our skin if we have any intention of keeping it. This program is a great step toward ensuring residents have the best shot they can at protecting their skin. Aside from the obvious health benefits, this program is also very reasonable from a financial standpoint. Fourteen sunscreen dispensers, along with the refill packs for sunscreen, cost the town only about $1,600. Berland said that cost is lower than for some summer town-sponsored activities and events. We encourage other towns to look into the program in Huntington, which is a partnership between IMPACT Melanoma, formerly known as the Melanoma Foundation of New England, and the town. This organization provides education, prevention and support for the most serious form of skin cancer. “You put your hand under the sanitizer dispenser when you leave the bathroom,” Berland said. “Why not do the same when you leave the shade and head into the sun?” We hope that leaders in other municipalities take Berland’s lead and consider a similar program for their constituents.

As I peek out from the edges of the alternate reality the United States has been victim to since January 20, I attempt to keep up with the daily maniacal actions the Chump in Chief is taking. I truly, from the depths of my soul, do not understand how the office of the president has sunk to this level of ignorance and abhorrent behavior. The greatest country in the world is being represented by a cadre of Twitter-happy, narcissistic showmen who live each day to berate those trying to lift themselves up and to steal what has been rightfully gained over decades of sweat and tears. Health care, LGBTQ rights, minimum wage, non-discriminatory service in the military, education, etc., pick a right, any right and it will be stomped on and repealed. Each day we are informed about another resignation/firing in the administration because the head clown in charge doesn’t like how that person played in the sandbox. What is happening here? Has the Constitution been diminished to something no better than a flyer under a windshield or a menu slid under a door? To put it simply, for those who obviously didn’t get the

memo, we have rules about how government must conduct itself. Secret meetings with foreign government officials are not OK. Appointing a Cabinet full of those who are as unqualified as their boss, also not OK. Attempting to then rid yourself of any such Cabinet member whose puppet strings have come loose by planning a recess appointment, not on the nice list. We the smart people know what you are doing Mr. Trump. This is not one of your poorly conceived Apprentice seasons where the individuals on your show are paid to entertain and then get fired; this is reality. This is the reality of every American that you are attempt-

ing to destroy with a repeal of Obamacare or a tax hike on those that cannot afford it or the destruction of the gains of the LGBTQ community. In the alternate words of the wizard from “The Wizard of Oz” movie, “Pay lots of attention to the man behind the curtain” for he too will soon be unmasked. There is a big balloon waiting to take him on his long journey out of D.C., hopefully before we suffer the loss of all of our allies and our place on the world stage. It’s time to take our country back from a madman before it’s too late.

Response to Wishnia’s diatribe I have submitted letters to this newspaper, and its predecessor, since the 1970s. I have never engaged in quid pro quo when someone responds unfavorably to something I have written, until now. In response to my July 20 letter to The Village Times Herald, “Stop the rioting and subterfuge,” Professor Arnold Wishnia in a July 27 letter, “A string of alliterative insults,” took me to task for perceived insults toward certain people or groups he supports, while making creepy assertions about my behavior (“hugging himself”, “chortling”), and a few other things that a man of his intellect should have better analyzed before attacking me. I have no Tea-Party comrades, in fact I am not even a Republican. I guess I should apologize to Dr. Wishnia if I made him angry by insulting Bill DeBlasio, the worst thing to happen to New York City since 9/11 or Typhoid

Mary. I should apologize for Soros, masked fire bombers and rock-throwers and murderous invaders populating Europe. Wishnia calls them “immigrants” which many are only under law, while they are really de facto terrorists, which anyone with a television set knows. Don’t get me started on Tim (10,000 dollar firework) Bishop. Also, what’s an assault rifle? That’s another fake appellation from the left. Unless it’s an M-1 Garand or Gatling Chain Gun, a rifle is a rifle. And one more thing; who cares if a bunch of Americans from down south go to political meetings toting sidearms? Nothing new about that, and they don’t shoot police, burn limousines or smash storefronts with rocks like the anarchists do. You won’t find many National Rifle Association members in jail for gun violence.

I stand behind everything I wrote, and those who wish to minimize and whitewash the existential threat to Europe and the West from Islamic hordes, so be it. In World War II, the total strength of the Axis powers, in terms of combatants, was about 35 million, and they all wore uniforms. We now face an embedded enemy spread across the globe, numbering way more than Hitler-Tojo-Mussolini’s crowd. Tea Party, huh? You forgot to mention the Ku Klux Klan, which usually pops up in leftist dialog, even though the Klan has been a basket case for 30 years, and David Duke is a homebound Alzheimer’s case. I have never engaged in ad hominems, unless you happen to be some kooky and clueless guy wearing a Kaepernick jersey while playing in traffic.

OpiniOn A Yankee apparition disappears to Oakland

wanted Dustin Fowler to succeed next year. In case you missed it, he’s the kid who came up from the New York Yankees minor league baseball system who ran into a low wall at Chicago White Sox and hurt his knee, ending his season and, as it turns out, his Yankees career before it began. Fowler was slated to lead off the second inning of his first major league game, but, inBy Daniel Dunaief stead, was carted from the field to receive emergency medical attention. It’s somewhere between incredibly difficult and impossible to make the major leagues and yet Fowler was good enough to be on the field. And then, like the real person

D. None of the above

Archibald “Moonlight” Graham, who was featured in the Kevin Costner movie “Field of Dreams,” Fowler got within inches of holding a bat and facing major league pitching, when the season ended for him. Fowler hasn’t left baseball but, as of this week, he’s no longer on the team he imagined joining. In need of starting pitching for this stretch run from now until October, the Yankees traded him as a part of a package to get Sonny Gray from the Oakland A’s. Now, I want the Yankees to win and Fowler was a chip the team could trade to get a talent who could pitch more than five innings, and who might win important games in October. And yet when Fowler left the Chicago field, I’m sure I wasn’t the only fan who hoped to support him a second time if and when he got another opportunity — and the Yankees needed him. He still may get his chance with

Oakland. After all, if he was good enough before his injury, he may ride the same determination and skill on the long road back to the majors. Over before it started, Fowler’s Yankee career will feel like an unopened or undelivered present, shipped somewhere else. Fowler was our boy. He was drafted in the 18th round in 2013 and had worked his way up to the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. In the statistics for his career, there is a “1” next to the number of games he played in 2017 with the Yankees, along with “zeros” all the way through every other column. No doubles, triples, home runs or runs batted in for this Yankee apparition. This is the time of year when baseball general managers have to decide between the present and the future. What are they willing to give up in an uncertain future for a present that may be less of an unknown?

Will the A’s and now Yankees pitcher Gray be worth the price of sentiment if he wins important games down the stretch and into the playoffs? Derek Jeter used to remain unflappable as teammates wandered on and off his team, often shrugging off questions while indicating he knew it was a business. If that business does well, do we care that some kid who may or may not have amounted to much for our team is now playing for someone else after bouncing back from adversity? Fowler will be the one who made it to the team, only to have a freak type of baseball interference prevent him from fulfilling his rise from Yankees prospect to Yankees player. The A’s and their fans will now pick up the Fowler narrative, making him a part of their lore and history. No matter how things pan out, Yankee fans can wish him the best even as we wonder what that might have been as a part of the New York narrative.

Traveling daily in the footsteps of Washington and the Culper Spies

hese days, with the chaos in politics, it is no wonder that many people are showing a renewed interest in our history and the goals of our Founding Fathers some 240 years ago that define who we want to be today. Many residents seem surprised by the significant role our Long Island area played in the Revolutionary War and are delighted to learn about the Culper Spy Ring that was centered in Seand led By Leah S. Dunaief tauket by Benjamin Tallmadge, a resident. “TURN: Washington’s Spies,” the AMC cable series now in its fourth and final year, has done much to popularize the spy story, speaking to our past.

result because history is part of the glue that defines a community and strengthens its roots. Since we at the newspaper believe this, we run regular columns by local historians telling our history, and we have now just finished a full-length film, “One Life to Give,” as I have previously mentioned, about how the Culper Spy Ring started. Its premiere is scheduled for Sept. 17. Now there is more good news to make us proud of the place in which we live. In a refreshing show of bipartisanship, two of our congressmen, Democrat Tom Suozzi of Glen Cove and Lee Zeldin, Republican of Shirley, have introduced legislation in the House to bestow upon the George Washington Spy Trail national historic status. The spy trail is essentially Route 25A, the road that was used by the spies during the war to travel behind enemy lines between Long Island and New York City, gaining vital intelligence about the British and their troop movements and strategy. Long Island was an occupied territory, the breadbasket of food and supplies for

the British, who were headquartered in New York City. All along the trail’s about 50-mile route was the highwire danger for the spies of being discovered and hung. Indeed, the British trapped Nathan Hale, whose purported last words were about his one regret being that he had but one life to give for his country. Washington well knew the enormous debt he owed to the spies, and to honor them he traveled in an elegant coach along the 25A route after the war in slow, celebratory fashion from Great Neck to Port Jefferson — then known as Drowned Meadow — staying at the inn owned by one of the spies, Austin Roe of Setauket. But at that time the purpose of his trip was known only to the tiny band of spies. Spies were then thought of as lowly deceivers by the people and not at all cloaked in the glamour of James Bond. So these courageous, remarkable men — and women, like Anna Strong — took their secret to their graves for fear of being ostracized by their countrymen. And Washington kept their secret. Only in

the middle of the last century were papers discovered by historians that revealed the bravery of the Culper Spies. Today, there are original letters written by Washington to the spies, with an addition on one by Benjamin Tallmadge, that can be viewed at the library of Stony Brook University. They were bought by Old Field resident Henry Laufer and donated to the university for that purpose. The spy trail is the result of an intense effort over some 20 years by Gloria Rocchio of Stony Brook and the North Shore Promotion Alliance to bring awareness of this historic road and its role in American history. A total of 26 signs, which they secured and installed, depict Washington’s coach and line his route. A national historic designation, under the auspices of the National Park Service, would not only honor these heroes but also perhaps bring federal grant money, and not insignificantly promote tourism to help our economy. So the Culper Spies live on and continue to serve.

Setauket native is helping grow game of lacrosse Kerrin Maurer reflects on time playing for team Italy in World Cup By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com A Setauket native is spreading her love of lacrosse across the globe. Kerrin Maurer, a St. Anthony’s High School and Duke University graduate, arrived home from Guilford, England with a revived passion for her favorite pastime after playing for team Italy in its first Federation of International Lacrosse Rathbones World Cup appearance. Despite her competitive nature, she said she enjoyed her time teaching Italian children about the game more so than the actual tournament. “Being able to play the sport I love while traveling and helping to grow the game was a unique opportunity,” she said. “We want to help Italy sustain the sport in the country for as long as possible.” When she did step onto the field, Maurer shined. The midfielder earned Most Valuable Player honors twice during pool play, and concluded the World Cup tournament with 61 draw controls. The former Duke All-American tallied 21 goals and 20 assists for the second-most points in the tournament. In the eight games played, she caused three turnovers. “She killed the draw,” team Italy head coach and University of Massachusetts women’s lacrosse head coach Angela McMahon said. “She was scoring a ton, setting up her teammates, communicating and being a leader. We don’t get a lot of practices so it was a work in progress and she helped the whole team improve. She really stepped up.” Maurer performed especially well in an 18-17 win over Haudenosaunee. The teams battled back and forth, entering halftime tied 10-10, but Italy pulled through with an 18-17 victory. Maurer turned in three goals, four assists and eight draw controls to help spearhead the attack.

“I haven’t got to play in a while, so just playing again was a ton of fun,” Maurer said. “Every game was super competitive, which was awesome.” The two-time All-American graduated from Duke in 2014 as the program’s leader in assists with 119. A three-time Tewaaraton Award nominee, an award given to the best collegiate player, Maurer graduated second in Duke history in career points with 280 and tied for fourth in career goals with 161, while finishing on a 47-game point scoring streak. She helped the Blue Devils to four NCAA quarterfinal appearances, and reached the semifinals in 2015 after topping Princeton University in the quarterfinals. Since graduating with a degree in political science, she was named an assistant coach at Division I Mount Saint Mary’s University in Maryland, and this month, will begin a new venture as an assistant at Princeton. Maurer is currently completing her master’s degree — Kerrin Maurer in sports management, and said she was excited to also be able to hone her coaching skills during the FIL tournament. “I think seeing the game on an international level, seeing what everyone else is doing and the different systems is helpful,” she said. “You see these different strategies and plays and it’s good to learn and study.” Her teammate Gabby Capuzzi from Pennsylvania, who is currently a coach at the United States Naval Academy, thought the team benefited from having coaches on its roster. She first met her Setauket friend during tryouts in Italy when she let her borrow a pair of her gloves. “She’s a tough, hard-nosed Long Island player,” Capuzzi said. “She’s not selfish, she fed me most of my goals and she’s a team player, but she’ll take her looks. She’s a good heads-up player.”

‘I’m really fortunate that Setauket is such a hotbed for lacrosse. ... The excitement around the game has helped fuel my passion along the way.’

Maurer said she’s thankful for her time spent playing lacrosse in Setauket at an early age. Because of the coaching and guidance she received, Maurer said she felt like she was able to bring a lot of skill over to Italy and the team. “I think I’m really fortunate that Setauket is such a hotbed for lacrosse,” she said. “Feeding off a ton of knowledge within the area about lacrosse and the excitement around the game has helped fuel my passion along the way. Learning the proper technique from successful coaches has helped me grow my love for the game and want to teach others the way I’ve been taught.” Team Italy wasn’t sure if it would even be able to compete in the FIL. There were concerns as to whether Italian Americans would be allowed to play for the team, and when the news broke they would be allowed, the midfielder couldn’t be happier. “It was surreal,” she said of being a smalltown girl playing on such a big stage. “When they did make the decision and I was chosen to play, it was a dream come true. It’s the highest level you can play at.” Italy finished 11th out of 25 teams. It was the only country making its first appearance to finish in the top half of the list, with other first-timers like Switzerland (19), Mexico (20), Sweden (21), China (22), Spain (23),

Columbia (24) and Belgium (25) also making inaugural entrances. “Coming in 11th, even though it may not sound like a big deal, was huge for us,” Maurer said. “We finished the highest out of any team making its debut ever in the tournament’s history. I think that in itself, and seeing the Italian citizens improve over the course of this process, that’s what it’s about for us.” Her teammate agreed, adding that the changing atmosphere is current exciting for lacrosse. “The most rewarding part of all of this is growing our sport to hopefully make a push for the Olympics in a few years,” Capuzzi said. “In January 2013 we were teaching 20-yearolds how to catch and throw who had never picked up a stick before. We’re usually working with youth at camps here in America and it’s exciting to get youth and club programs up and running in Italy. I think we sparked that.” For now, Maurer is just focused on continuing to spread the love. “We’re trying to keep it fresh,” she said. “We’re trying to get viewership up and spread it around the world. Everyone’s excited to learn the sport and it brings a renewed energy when I step out onto the field with them — remembering why you play the game.”
