Emma S. Clark Memorial Library is upgrading from fluorescent bulbs to new, energy-efficient and cost-effective LED lighting. There are more than 1,100 bulbs and fixtures that will be replaced in the interior of the 1960s, 1980s and 2000 sections of the building, which will result in an estimated 46 percent savings in energy usage per year. The old fluorescent bulbs and ballasts will be properly removed and recycled. Work is currently underway and will take about a week. All work is being done at night to avoid disruptions to library visitors. This project is made possible through the PSEG Long Island 2017 Commercial Energy Efficiency Program. Rebates from PSEG and funding from a New York State Public Library Construction grant should allow the library to recoup the cost in less than six months. “As a centerpiece of the Three Village area, the Emma Clark Library is in a unique position to serve as an example of good stewardship and efficient operation,” Ted Gutmann, library director, said. “The LED project underscores the commitment of the library trustees in seeing the library as a responsible ‘citizen’ and for making our community a better place now, and for future generations.” The library has also begun using an on-demand video streaming service called Kanopy. The service includes 30,000

independent, international, classic and documentary films including training videos. The service is user-friendly and can be accessed on multiple devices, such as a computer, tablet or smartphone. Three Village residents may access Kanopy through the library’s website, www.emmaclark.org/downloads,and then follow the steps to create an account. Each library patron may watch up to five movies per month with their library card. Questions about the streaming service can be emailed to askus@emmaclark.org or call 631-941-4080. The Emma S.

County Legislators hope to thwart St. James land development By Rita J. Egan rita@tbrnewspapers.com
‘This is not the proper use of this parcel, and we would like to see it preserved.’

County Legislator Kara Hahn and Stony Brook resident Cindy Smith at a nov. 10 press conference to propose a county initiative for Flowerfield in St. James. Stony Brook Road, where she lives, have witnessed 18-wheelers using the street, drivers littering and historical characteristics in the area disappearing. During rush hour, Smith said emergency vehicles have difficulty traveling down the street. The coalition founder said no traffic studies or environmental assessments have been conducted by the county and there has been no estimate of the impact on the local infrastructure. “We’re not against development,” Smith said. “We are for smart, sustainable development, and this isn’t sustainable in the area it happens to be in.”
Hahn, chairwoman of the Environment, Planning & Agriculture Committee, said if the land is developed it could harm local bays and waterways, and agreed it would overburden local roads and increase the dangers of traveling in the area. The hazards of 25A and Stony Brook Road are something she is acutely aware of after being involved in a head-on collision at the intersection in April 2001. “This is not the proper use of this parcel, and we would like to see it preserved,” Hahn said, adding that she asked Trotta if

on our own a couple of miles to Christ Church Cathedral — a circa 1030 structure with 1870s restorations — and toured the church. We were delighted to find a concert of band music being presented in the cathedral. Among the tombs inside was one of Strongbow, an Anglo-Norman knight from Wales who led an expedition to Ireland about 1167 to help the Gaelic king regain his kingdom. He and his knights were rewarded with land in Ireland and a new Anglo-Norman way of life emerged. Strongbow later became king and had a great influence on the building of Dublin. He is buried here in the cathedral. In the crypt on the lower level was a dramatic exhibit, including statues and precious jewels, on life in the area and the cathedral over seven centuries. Attached to the cathedral is the three-floor Dublinia museum on Dublin’s Viking and medieval past. The museum is a youth-friendly living history experience with lots of interactive exhibits for kids to enjoy and even take part in. Included is an extensive interactive and hands-on archaeological section on the third floor. Then it is just 95 steps up a tower for a wonderful 360 degree look at Dublin. In the morning we went to Trinity College to see the “Book of Kells” (early artistic rendering of the four Gospels written in Latin over 1,000 years ago), and then to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland (the present building dates to 1220), where we had a tour. Both college and cathedral are Anglican, but now students attend from all faiths. In addition to the “Book of Kells” and other ancient copies of the Gospels, the Trinity College library is the official repository for all Ireland’s valuable books, and the library has the right to a free copy of all British and Irish publications. The Long Room that we toured is nearly 65 metres in length and houses around 200,000 of the library’s oldest books. There is a staff of conservators who have the unenviable job of trying to preserve this mind-boggling collection. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is beautiful, and the tiled floor is magnificent and features
Irish and Christian symbols. Jonathan Swift, author of “Gulliver’s Travels” was dean of the cathedral from 1713 to 1745 and he is buried under the cathedral floor. One of the stories about Swift is that his sermons were often as long as four hours, and he would have his rolling pulpit pushed across the floor to come right up to anyone who was sleeping and embarrassingly wake them. He even wrote a sermon on sleeping during his sermons. We next had a bus tour of Dublin with many stories about the buildings, bridges and roadways in the city and the people connected with them. Our tour guide Roseann, a local lass from Cork, was full of stories about Ireland, and about growing up here in Dublin. She also gave us a personal walking tour of St. Stephen’s Green, now a city public park, that was the scene of some of the bloodiest fighting during the Easter Uprising of 1916. During the battle, there were surreal daily truces when both sides held their fire so that the park’s keeper could safely feed his flock of ducks. The British defeated the Irish during the uprising and executed a number of their leaders giving them martyr status, which six years later led to the establishment of the free and independent country of the southern 26 counties that became the Irish Free State and eventually the Republic of Ireland. In the late afternoon, we walked a number of the streets in Dublin where shopping, food, history and architecture are the main themes. The city is colorful with lots of streets just for pedestrians. This was Saturday and the streets, and especially the park, were filled with people enjoying the wonderful, often sunny day in the 60s. One of the interesting statues in Dublin is of Molly Malone and her cart (from the song “In Dublin’s Fair City”), which was unveiled in 1988. It is said to be good luck to touch her bosom, which, as a result, has now removed most of the bronze coating there. The locals call the statue, “The tart with the cart.” Beverly Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket.

and on the USNS Comfort. He said the hospital in Fajardo needed help with its emergency room, and the New York medical professionals assisted with ambulatory patients and mostly dealt with benign medical complaints. He said a number of people were in distress because they were unable to get treatment for diabetes or use medical equipment such as nebulizers and oxygen concentrators without electricity. Others were experiencing health problems as a result of a lack of water or medications. Valenzuela said many hospitals on the island are low on supplies and are operating on generators. Any kind of extensive imaging or lab work wasn’t available on site; however, the staff had basic medications, antibiotics, IV fluids and EKG machines on hand. “The medical infrastructure is ground down to a halt,” Valenzuela said. Patients with more serious problems in Fajardo were transported to San Juan or to the USNS Comfort. The ship was staffed by Navy personnel and DMAT tents were set up
outside for ambulatory patients. Valenzuela said medical professionals from around the country working in the tents saw 500 to 600 patients a day. Patients with serious conditions were transferred to the Comfort. “I can’t say enough about how amazing the Navy personnel was,” Valenzuela said. “These guys had been on board for over a month before they were allowed off the ship. They were getting a few hours of sleep here and there but their main focus was on treating patients.” Valenzuela visited Puerto Rico in the past and remembered how friendly the people were, and said despite the devastation on the island, the residents were in good spirits. “The people were extremely enthusiastic to have us there,” he said. “They were so grateful for any kind of assistance. They just wanted to make sure that they weren’t being forgotten, and we did our best to provide them with the standard of care that would be acceptable on Long Island. I think we were successful.”

House tax bill criticized by NY lawmakers on both sides of aisle By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com

Earlier this month Republicans in the House of Representatives took a major step toward fulfilling a lynchpin campaign promise that is seemingly decades old. The House Ways and Means committee released the framework of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Nov. 2, a major piece of legislation touted by President Donald Trump (R) as a cut to income taxes for “hardworking, middle-income Americans,” though it would negatively affect New Yorkers if signed into law, according to lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle. The highlights of the bill, which would require passage by the House and Senate and the president’s signature before becoming law, include a consolidation from seven individual income tax brackets down to four; the elimination of the deduction for state and local income taxes, a provision that in the past through federal tax returns gave a portion of tax dollars back to individuals in higher income tax states like New York and California=; and a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent. “I am a ‘No’ to this bill in its current form,” 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said in a statement. “We need to fix this state and local tax [SALT] deduction issue. Adding back in the property tax deduction up to $10,000 is progress, but not enough progress. If I’m not fighting for New Yorkers, I can’t expect anyone else from another state to do it for me.” U.S. Rep. for the 2nd District, Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), was even more critical of the bill than Zeldin. “The goal of tax reform is to help hardworking Americans make more money so they can live the American Dream,” Suozzi said in a statement. “The American people expect us to find a bipartisan solution to tax reform that helps create good paying middle-class jobs. This plan doesn’t achieve that goal. I won’t support it.” Other New York lawmakers from the Democratic Party voiced harsh opposition to the bill in its current form. New York’s Democratic U.S. senators, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, each said via Twitter they viewed the bill as a tax break for corporations that would have a negative impact on middle-class citizens. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) called the bill a “tax increase plan.” “The tax reform plan, they call a tax cut plan,” Cuomo said in a statement. “It has a diabolical dimension, which is the elimination of the deductibility of state and local taxes … what makes it an even more gross injustice is, the state of New York contributes more to the federal government than any other state. New York contributes more to Washington than any other state. We’re the No. 1 donor state. We give $48 billion more than we get back. Why you would want to take more from New York is a gross, gross injustice.” Duncan MacKenzie, chief executive officer of the New York State Association of Realtors said in a statement the bill would harm many New York homeowners. “It will lessen the value of the property tax deduction and it cuts a host of other key housing-related tax incentives,” he said. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded in the 1980s and dedicated to educating the public on issues with significant fiscal policy impact, estimated the bill would result in a $1.5 trillion increase to the national deficit. Mark Snyder of Mark J. Snyder Financial Services, a Hauppauge-based personal financial planning and management firm, called the bill a “torpedo aimed at the wallets of Long Islanders” in an email. He also pointed to the elimination of the SALT deduction as clear evidence the bill would harm New Yorkers. “As a representative from New York, I’d kick this bill to the curb,” he said when asked what he would do if he were tasked with voting on the bill.

Veterans active despite declining post membership By RitA J. EGAn rita@tbrnewspapers.com The oldest war veterans organization in the country is still going strong on the North Shore. Membership in the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America Post 336 may have decreased over the decades — the name even changed this year from Three Village to Col. Mickey Marcus Post 336 — but nothing has changed when it comes to the members’ mission of supporting their fellow veterans. Stan Feltman, a member of the post, sells poppies to raise funds for veterans regularly outside the Middle Island Walmart or the 7-Eleven on Route 112 just south of Route 83. Recently he helped raise $5,000 for the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University along with his fellow post members. The World War II veteran said he brings photos from wartime with him on his fundraising excursions to show those who donate. “Once they see some of these pictures, instead of giving me a buck, they give me five dollars,” Feltman said. The 91-year-old was a B-29 tail gunner in the United States Army Air Corps from 1943 to 1945. Besides selling poppies, he participates in lectures at schools and senior groups. Recently he was interviewed for the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, an initiative established to collect and preserve firsthand remembrances of wartime veterans. Feltman said he and members of Post 336 believe it’s important to educate others about their service. “I think the kids don’t realize what we went through,” he said. “That’s why every once in a while I will go and talk to them.” The Coram resident said he has been a member of Post 336 for a few years. The organization welcomes Jewish service men and women from the Three Village community and surrounding areas who served during a wartime period. Among the members is Arthur Golnick of Stony Brook, who served from 1951 to 1952
in the Cold War as a private first class in the United States Army. He joined the post 35 years ago when the members would meet at North Shore Jewish Center in Port Jefferson Station. Through the decades, he said he has participated with his fellow local veterans in countless parades and ceremonies. “We want people to know the history of past events,” Golnick said. He said overall he’s most proud of the post’s main function of helping their fellow veterans, especially those at the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook and Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Stony Brook resident Robert Sandberg, a member of the post for 30 years, said Civil War soldiers who fought on the Union side founded the Jewish War Veterans in 1896. Sandberg said it was started after stories, propagated by author Mark Twain, circulated that Jewish men didn’t serve in the Civil War. Sandberg served for 25 years in the United States Air Force and retired in 1982 as a lieutenant colonel. He said while he was in Vietnam, he didn’t see battle. His son Scott followed in his military footsteps and became a tanker pilot in the Air Force
and recently retired as a colonel. While Sandberg continued to work after leaving the military, including for Suffolk County and Huntington, he said he hasn’t done anything nearly as interesting or challenging as his time in the military. The post members have the opportunity to share stories of their days in the military during meetings held once a month in the New Village Recreation Center on Wireless Road in Centereach. Golnick said he was stationed in Germany for a while. He said he has fond memories of being an umpire for the regiment’s softball team, but doses of reality were never too far away. He said the barracks were just walking distance from a former concentration camp. “You could tell by the smell,” he said. Feltman, who grew up in Brooklyn, said it was during his stint in boot camp that he first encountered anti-Semitism. He said one of his fellow soldiers kept giving him a hard time about his religion. “I was flabbergasted,” he said. “I got along with all of the other soldiers that were in that barrack.” One day after calisthenics class and an-
other verbal altercation, he said the dispute turned physical. Instead of facing punishment, the commanding officers asked him to box for his section — considering at 5 feet 9 inches tall and 136 pounds he had just sent a 6 feet 2 inches tall soldier weighing 220 pounds to the hospital. In 1944, Feltman won a boxing championship in Biloxi, Mississippi. Despite the bond among the veterans, membership continues to decline, and out of the approximately 50 official members of Post 336, about 20 are active. “The challenge for our organization, like all veterans organizations, is that the younger generations aren’t interested in joining,” Sandberg said, adding that the number of Jewish War Veterans members doesn’t accurately represent Jewish people serving in the military over the years. During World War II, 500,000 Jewish soldiers served, and 11,000 were killed. As for the post name change this year from Three Village to Col. Mickey Marcus Post 336, Sandberg said while Marcus wasn’t a Long Island resident, he was an admirable Jewish veteran. A United States Army colonel, Marcus went on to assist Israel in the 1948 ArabIsraeli War and became the country’s first modern general. He was killed by friendly fire and is buried at West Point Cemetery. Sandberg said sharing time with others who have served is vital for veterans, and he encourages them to join organizations to share their unique experiences. “Other vets will understand instantly when you start talking to them,” Sandberg said. “You sense an understanding. It’s maybe like a subconscious language or something because of the common experience that you had. When you meet other vets, and you hang around with them, you get this tremendous feeling. It’s not quite camaraderie, but it’s a bond; it’s a meeting of people that have the same experience that others don’t. So that’s a special thing that you get from being in a veterans organization.” For more information, visit the website www.jwvpost336.blogspot.com.

Gyrodyne she could take the lead on the bill because she felt it was critical to her district. Cartright, who was in attendance to represent the Town of Brookhaven and spearheaded 25A-visioning meetings in the Three Village area during the last year and a half, said the main concern of Stony Brook residents was traffic congestion in the area, especially at the juncture of 25A and Stony Brook Road. “Today there is an alternative that is being presented by our county Legislature and that is to preserve this vital open space,” she said. “And we stand in support
of the preservation of this land.” Englebright said he wrote a letter to the New York State Department of Transportation asking it to deny any application for curb cuts on 25A. He said the town needs to change the zoning in Smithtown. While it made sense for the property to be zoned for business when Gyrodyne tested helicopter blades, the assemblyman said it should no longer apply to the residential area. “If this proposal is allowed to go forward it will paralyze the communities of Stony Brook and St. James,” Englebright said, adding it would bring mid-Manhattan-style traffic to the area. “It will be like driving a stake into the heart of St. James.” Gyrodyne could not be reached for comments by press time.

Ward Melville High School
Peter Michael Baigent
STEM honors
Faima Quadir and Andrew Zhang, Ward Melville High School students, were among the 491 semifinalists named nationwide Oct. 17 in the 2017 Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology. The semifinalists were selected from more than 1,860 projects in science, technology, engineering and math fields. Quadir worked on a group project called Cloud Mode Anomaly Detection in the Cimel Sunphotometer Using Machine Learning Algorithms — a project that looked at ways to enhance the current tools used for predicting, monitoring and managing future climate change. As part of her research, Quadir worked to create a program in Python that would automate anomaly

detection through machine learning algorithms, which look for patterns in the data in order to classify it as good or bad. Zhang’s project was titled Sorting SingleWalled Carbon Nanotubes Using the Surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate and the Synthesized Organic Molecule Triptycene-Dimer. In this project, a nonplanar aromatic molecule, triptycene-dimer (trip-dimer), and a common surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, were used to sort single-walled carbon nanotubes. SWNTs have the capability to replace silicon as the semiconductor used for computing applications. To realize this promise, methods such as these need to be developed to sort SWNTs into their constituent components. The semifinalists will be judged to determine who advances on to six regional competitions held in November.
R.C. Murphy Junior High School
Peter Michael Baigent, born Feb. 6, 1946, died Oct. 1. He most recently occupied the position of vice president of student affairs at Stony Brook University where he dedicated 24 years of his career. He was passionate about the importance of higher education and how it should be accessible to all. Born in Newcastle, England, Peter grew up in Halifax, Yorkshire, and came to the U.S. to pursue graduate education. Along with a small group of players in the 1970s, he was instrumental in promoting and organizing the sport of rugby in the U.S. on a national league level — an accomplishment for which he received national recognition in 2013. He was a member of the Caroline Church of Brookhaven Vestry, Three Village Historical Society and the Boy Scouts of America. An avid gardener and lifelong runner, he also enjoyed cycling and many other aspects of outdoor life. He is survived by his longtime companion Sally Lynch, daughter Blair Baigent Gordon and spouse Dustin Gordon; son Philip Baigent; and granddaughter Grace. A memorial service was held on campus at Stony Brook University Nov. 1. Donations may be sent to Stony Brook University, the Caroline Church and Old Field Farm Ltd. in his memory.
Lucy McKie
Lucy McKie, 107, of Setauket, died Oct. 15. She was born June 9, 1910, in Brooklyn and was the daughter of Josephine and August Emanuel. Lucy was a retired bookkeeper and a member of the Brookhaven and St. James R.C. Church seniors clubs. Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Vincent (Florence) Perniciaro and Salvatore (Joann) Perniciaro; eight grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her first husband Salvatore Perniciaro Sr. and second husband David McKie. Services were held at St. James R.C. Church, Oct. 18. Interment followed at St. James Churchyard Cemetery. Arrangements were entrusted to the Bryant Funeral Home of Setauket. Visit www. bryantfh.com to sign the online guest book.
Patricia Molloy
Building bridges The R.C. Murphy Junior High School eighth-grade technology class, taught by Derek Angermaier, has been exploring the topic of structural engineering by designing and building bridge structures. The bridges were designed using all available resources and enhanced with
Photo from Three Village Central School District
bridge designer software simulations. Tested to support a remarkable 104.4 pounds, a bridge designed and constructed by Justin Santana set a new record for the school and was determined to have the highest structural efficiency in his class. Structural efficiency is the relationship between the weight of the structure and the weight supported.
Patricia Molloy, 60, a resident of New Canaan, Connecticut, for more than 27 years, died peacefully Oct. 31 at her home with her loving husband Lawrence Molloy by her side. Born May 19, 1957, in Queens, she was the daughter of Doris White Robbins of Stony Brook and the late Dr. Arnold Robbins. She worked for Altria Group for 30 years. After retirement, Patricia worked for Geoffrey Bible, former executive for Altria, and worked as a personal assistant
to George Bodenheimer, former ESPN executive. She was well recognized in the New Canaan community by her small stature and larger than life smile. She visited many of the shops in town during her daily jogs or while out walking her two Norfolk terriers, Millie and Maisy. In addition to her husband and mother, Patricia is survived by her two sisters, Carol Riordan (Peter) of Glen Cove and Colleen Robbins of Stony Brook; and her two brothers, Dr. William J. Robbins (Marlene) of Stony Brook and Dr. Thomas D. Robbins (Kim) of Jefferson City, Missouri. A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated Nov. 4 at St. Aloysius Church in New Canaan. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the V Foundation for Cancer Research at www.jimmyv.org. Visit www.hoytfuneralhome.com to sign the online guest book.
Rose Motisi
Rose Motisi of Stony Brook died Oct. 31 at the age of 91. She was the beloved wife of Leonard for 67 years; cherished mother of Adriana (Bill) Moran, Gina (Arthur) Doerler and Loretta Dicostanzo; loving grandmother of Christina Moran, Rocco Dicostanzo, Leonard Dicostanzo and Douglas Moran; and dear sister of Louis Buscemi. She is survived by many other family members and friends. Religious service was celebrated at Branch Funeral Home of Smithtown and interment followed at Calverton National Cemetery. Visit www.branchfh.com to sign the online guest book.
Samuel Person
Samuel Person, 86, died Nov. 11. He was the devoted husband of Joan Faber Person; loving father of Larry and Louis; beloved grandfather to Sera, Riley and Darin; father-in-law to Brian Stein and Lisa Person; and brother-in-law to Rosalie Beal and Barbara Butler. Sam was born to Louis and Gussie Person in the Bronx. After serving in the Korean War he met Joan, his wife of over 63 years. He influenced generations of successful accounting students as a legendary professor of accounting at CW Post College and Dowling College and was a co-founder and instructor at the Person/Wolinsky CPA Review. He was co-founder and first president of the Suffolk County Chapter of the New York State Society of CPAs and served on the board of the state society. Sam was passionate about giving back to his community. He served as comptroller of the Town of Brookhaven and was active in local politics. He co-founded and served as president of Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook and as board member and chairman of St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson. Betrayed by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1957, Sam became an ardent Yankees fan. Sam’s feisty nature, wit, knowledge of history and the stories he told of his life experiences will be missed by all. The family suggests donations The Long Island Museum, Stony Brook or the Professor Leo Schloss Scholarship at Long Island University in lieu of flowers.

Architecture Guide HOME FEATURES: arches, columns, dormers, roofs, windows, classic molding RESIDENTIAL STYLES: Art Deco – Homes built in this style feature geometric elements and a vertically oriented design. California Bungalow – A forerunner of the Craftsman style, California Bungalows offer rustic exteriors, sheltered-feeling interiors, and spacious front porches. Cape Cod – A true classic, Cape Cod homes – square or rectangular one-story structures with gabled roofs and unornamented fronts – were among America’s first houses. Colonial – An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, Colonial homes feature a rectangular, symmetric design, second-floor bedrooms, clapboard siding, and gabled roofs. Contemporary – Unmistakably modern in feel, Contemporary style homes are identifiable by their odd-sized windows, lack of ornamentation, and unusual mix of wall materials. Craftsman – Full or partial-width porches framed by tapered columns, overhanging eaves, and exposed roof rafters differentiate a Craftsman home from the similar California Bungalow. Creole – A front wall that recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony highlights the Creole Cottage design. Dutch Colonial – German, or “Deutsch�, settlers in Pennsylvania originated the Dutch Colonial style, dominated by a barn-like broad gambrel roof with flaring eaves.

Federal – This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek Roman culture, as its classical ornamentation around cornices, doors, and windows demonstrates. French Provincial – Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which includes a steep hip roof; balcony and porch balustrades; and rectangular doors set in arched openings. Georgian – Refined and symmetrical with paired chimneys and a decorative crown, Georgian houses were named after English royalty. Gothic Revival – English romanticism influenced this style marked by “Gothic� windows with pointed arches; exposed framing timbers; and steep, vaulted roofs. Greek Revival – Large porches, entryway columns, and a front door surrounded by narrow rectangular windows characterize Greek Revival homes. International – The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts, ground-to-ceiling plate glass windows, and smooth facades. Italianate – Symmetrical bay windows in front; small chimneys set in irregular locations; tall, narrow, windows; and in some cases towers, typify Italianate houses. Monterey – The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an adobe brick exterior and a second floor with a balcony. National – Rooted in Native American and pre-railroad dwellings, the National style consists of a rectangular shape with sidegabled roofs or square layouts with pyramidal roofs.
Neoclassical – Recognize Neoclassical homes, which exist in incarnations from one-story cottages to multilevel manses, by their Ionic or Corinthian-columned porches. Prairie – Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style house comes in two styles--boxy and symmetrical or low-slung and asymmetrical. Pueblo – Flat roofs, parapet walls with round edges, straight-edge window frames, earth-colored stucco or adobe-brick walls, and projecting roof beams typify Pueblos. Queen Anne – Emerging in the late Victorian era, the style employs inventive, multistory floor plans that often include projecting wings, several porches and balconies, and multiple chimneys with decorative chimney pots. Ranch – Similar to the Spanish Colonial, Prairie, and Craftsman styles, Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, wood or brick exterior walls, siding, and picture windows. Regency – Although they borrow from the Georgian’s classic lines, Regency homes eschew ornamentation. They’re symmetrical, two or three stories, and usually built in brick. Typically, they feature an octagonal window over the front door, one chimney at the side of the house, double-hung windows, and a hip roof. Saltbox – This New England Colonial style gained the Saltbox nickname because its sharply sloping gable roof resembled boxes used for storing salt. Second Empire – A Victorian style, Second Empire homes feature mansard roofs with dormer windows, molded cornices, and dec-
Š97347
orative brackets under the eaves. Shed – A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with multiple roofs sloping in different directions, which creates several geometric shapes. Shingle – An American style that echoes the Queen Anne, Shingle style is distinguished by unadorned doors, windows, porches, and cornices; continuous wood shingles; a steeply pitched roof line; and large porches. Shotgun – Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door of this long, narrow home. The style is characterized by a single story with a gabled roof. Spanish Eclectic – Taking its cues from early Spanish missions, Spanish Eclectic then adds a dash of details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles. Split Level – A Modern style, Split Level design sequesters certain living activities, such as sleeping or socializing. Stick – Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards characterize Stick houses, which are members of the Victorian family. Tudor – Half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more steeply pitched cross gables typify Tudor homes. Victorian – Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture often incorporated decorative details such as brackets, spindles and patterned shingles.

PULLEY AND SOUND Fred Drewes of Mount Sinai sent in this interesting image for this week’s photo of the week. He writes, ‘I’ve dried my laundry on a clothesline for many years. The original pulley has developed a rusted character with a unique creak and squeak sound when turned. Hanging my wash on the line on a sunny dry day is enjoyable as is hearing the “talk” of this old pulley. Pulling the dried clothes in doubles the pleasure hearing the creak and squeaks accompanying the smell of the air-dried laundry. ‘

In the avid gardener’s off-season, from Thanksgiving through February, if the temperatures are above 40 and the ground is not frozen, nor too waterlogged, I like to layer-up and head outside to pull up onions. Wild onion (Allium vineale), or wild garlic, disfigures beds and lawns, more especially at the end of winter before the landscape begins to green up. The bluish-green grasslike leaves emerge in fall and remain in view all winter, the more so when our lawns lose their verdure with the cold temps and our beds are bereft of show. An old clump can be a foot tall, growing from a tight-knit congregation of a hundred bulbs. I use a hand fork, similar to a trowel, but with three tines instead of a blade, and I am not talking about the three-tined hand cultivator. This is a tool few gardeners seem to use, or even know, but along with the steel-shafted spade and the Felco bypass secateurs is one of the indispensables. Many years ago it was easy to find forged steel ones (the defunct Smith & Hawken), in which the tines did not get bent out of alignment in tree-rooty soil. Avoid these cheap ones. There is one from Holland (DeWit Forged Hand Fork) that costs 20 bucks. This tool is ideal for lifting out small plants — or a clump of bulbs — and teasing out the roots from the soil. Obviously, if you pull up weeds without their roots, they will surely grow back, often with increased vengeance. Nor do you want to remove too much soil with the roots, else your five-gallon bucket will get heavy real quick. And don’t dump that bucket in your compost, the bulbs won’t rot. In the case of wild onions, you must remove from the soil the miniature onion bulbs themselves. There is another, similar, bulbous weed called star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum). Their leaves
have a white midrib, and they lack the bluish tint — and, most obviously, the odor — of onions. Not native to North America, they have pretty flowers and an evocative common name, but they seed themselves everywhere and have become a major nuisance where once they were planted as an ornamental. Bulbs — the lovely tulips and daffs and bluebells, as well as their weedy relatives — go dormant in summer, their leaves browning and melting into the soil. Many a time have I dug into soil to plant a shrub or perennials and have had the blade of my spade slice through daffodil or hyacinth bulbs. If you are digging in midsummer, colonizing a frontier of the garden, you might unearth a hidden clump of wild onion, or star of Bethlehem, now dormant without leaves visible. In this case you will, in effect, be dividing a compact clump of bulbs and “splintering it into a thousand pieces.” Later, in fall, each of these bulbs will send up their monocotyledonous leaves in a now-wider area of your planting bed. Weeds are visual noise in an otherwise harmonious garden setting, an irritant to a conscientious green thumb because experience dictates that they will only increase exponentially. A window of opportunity to remove onions and Ornithogalum and other cool-season weeds presents itself in the balmier days of the long months of winter. To reward yourself, if you have already gotten started on this meditative chore, or to incentivize yourself if you haven’t, order 25-50 deer-proof Allium ‘Gladiator’ to plant willy-nilly in and among your established — and, er, weed-free — plantings (provided they get enough sun). More on this next time. Kyrnan Harvey is a horticulturist and garden designer residing in East Setauket. For more information, visit www.boskygarden.com.

COOKING COVE
Embracing Thanksgiving memories and traditions
By BarBara Beltrami
This year we’re spending Thanksgiving at the home of friends … friends whom we think of as family, and we’ve been asked to bring a dish we remember from the Thanksgivings of our childhood. I’ve been delving deep into my memories of those days. I do remember that while the turkey was in the oven we always went to the local high school football game where I spent the time enviously ogling the cheerleaders and their oh-so-grown-up hairdos and outfits. Later, after glasses of claret for the women and Rob Roys for the men, we would cluster around Uncle Bob as he carved the turkey with his new-fangled electric knife, surreptitiously snatch pieces of the skin that fell away and vehemently blame each other when we got caught. Nothing varied from year to year; the menu was ironclad and to stray from it with any innovation was considered sacrilege. And so, with the “bird” and its giblet gravy, we had yams baked in their skins, mashed potatoes, stuffing laced with crispy onions, cauliflower, string beans, creamed onions and sliced cranberry sauce straight from the can. No pies except apple and pumpkin were dessert worthy, although I do seem to remember somehow pecan pie miraculously crashed the party and joined them at some point. Years later when I married and had my own family, I began my own set of menu traditions that in some cases were spin-offs of a few of the ones I had grown up with. What
over medium high heat until they are brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from skillet and add to stuffing mix. Lower the heat to medium low and in same skillet sauté celery and apples until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from skillet and add to stuffing mix, along with diced chestnuts. Add parsley, sage, thyme, salt and pepper (taste first because mixture may already be salty enough). Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to use. Before placing inside turkey, be sure that it is approximately the same temperature as stuffing. Serve with turkey and all the fixings on Thanksgiving Day and the next day with turkey and cranberry sauce in a sandwich.
Really Sweet Sweet Potatoes What are you thankful for this holiday season? • Two 14-ounce cans peeled and cooked chestnuts, drained and diced • 4 Granny Smith apples, pared, cored and diced • 2 handfuls fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped • 8 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried • Salt and pepper, to taste
follows are ones that have become my own customs and rituals over these many years. That’s one of the great things about Thanksgiving; it is made of traditions and memories and, no matter what they are, they’re yours.
Herbed Cornbread Stuffing YIELD: Makes stuffing for a 20- to 24-lb turkey DIRECTIONS: • Two 16-ounce packages prepared herbed cornbread stuffing mix • 5 to 6 cups hot broth • ½ pound unsalted butter, melted • ¹/3 cup olive oil • 3 medium onions, diced • 3 celery ribs, cut into half-inch slices
DIRECTIONS: In a very large bowl combine the stuffing mix with the broth and butter according to package directions. In a large skillet heat the oil for 30 to 45 seconds. Add the onions all at once and stirring frequently and cook

It has been 50 years since the Summer of Love. It was a time that pushed the boundaries of music, art and society and had many feeling groovy and putting flowers in their hair. A half-century later that era still fascinates us. The Heckscher Museum will explore that era through art with its latest exhibition titled From Frankenthaler to Warhol: Art of the ’60s and ’70s. According to the museum, the exhibit, which opens this Saturday, delves into two trends that defined the art of the times and stretched the definition of fine art: abstract works that explore line, shape and color; and representational art on subjects from popular culture to everyday urban and suburban environments. Color field, minimalist, pop and photorealist works speak to the myriad styles that characterized the art world during the dynamic decades of the ’60s and ’70s. In a recent interview, the museum’s curator, Lisa Chalif, said the time period was a watershed in American history and that many of the issues of the ’60s and ’70s continue to exist today. “The exhibition showcases the depth of The Heckscher Museum’s permanent collection. A good number of these works have not been exhibited for a while,” she said. Andy Warhol’s soup can and Roy Lichtenstein’s comic-inspired images are among the works of art featured. The galleries will include iconic images from art legends Jasper Johns, James Rosenquist,
Romare Bearden and May Stevens. There will be a total of 42 pieces on display. “This generation of artists solidified America’s dominance of the international art world,” said Chalif, “They stretched the definition of fine art by using images from consumer culture and experimenting with processes such as silk screen, previously used in commercial applications.” During this time, more women and African-American artists entered the mainstream art world as well, bringing fresh perspectives to modern subjects. The art and music scene often intertwined in that era, and, fittingly, the museum will have a ’60s and ’70s soundtrack as the backdrop for the exhibit. “The show will be bright, colorful and fun,” Chalif continued. “We’ll have a photographic time line highlighting social, political and cultural events of the period, as well as music from the period in the galleries.” The exhibit will be on view Nov. 18 through March 11. An opening reception for museum members and guests will be held on Dec. 2 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. In conjunction with the exhibit, two Gallery Talks will be held. On Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. art historian Thomas Germano will present a lecture titled “Andy Warhol and the Soup Can School,” and author and music historian Tom Ryan will present “How Music Changed History: 1960’s and 70’s” on Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. The Heckscher Museum of Art is located at 2 Prime Ave. in Huntington.

Kick off the holidays with ‘Annie’ at Northport’s Engeman Theater By Melissa arnold
T
here are few characters from a musical more enduring across generational lines than the curly-haired, ever positive orphan Annie. The John W. Engeman Theater in Northport is celebrating the holidays with its mainstage production of “Annie” through Dec. 31. Now in its 11th season, the Engeman has once again teamed up with director/choreographer Antoinette DiPietropolo (“Grease,” “Memphis”) to bring Annie and her friends to life. The story of New York’s most beloved orphan was partially inspired by “Little Orphan Annie,” a comic strip created by Harold Gray in the 1920s. After his death, the strip was carried on by a number of cartoonists until 2010. The comic followed the adventures of a little redhead girl and her dog while also offering commentary on political issues of the day, including the election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal. “Annie” the musical debuted on Broadway in 1977, with book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin. Since then, the show has toured around the world, won a slew of Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Score and inspired several film adaptations. When the play begins, 11-year-old Annie and her fellow orphans are growing up in the shadow of the Great Depression in New York City. Life is tough for these kids, especially living in a run-down, dirty orphanage under the care of calloused Agatha Hannigan. For years, Annie has waited eagerly for the return of her birth parents, who left her at Hannigan’s door with a letter and a locket. But they never come, and when Annie is chosen to spend
two weeks with lonely billionaire Oliver Warbucks, her life is forever changed. The cast of Engeman’s “Annie” will win your heart as soon as the show begins. Young Broadway veteran Presley Ryan embodies Annie’s charisma and unbreakable spirit effortlessly. Ryan’s Annie is appropriately youthful, and her voice is pleasant to listen to — sweet and strong, never shrill. You’ll fall in love with her during the first song, “Maybe,” and it’s hard to resist singing along with her on “Tomorrow.” Ryan is far from the only young lady to stand out in this show, however. All of the girls at the New York Municipal Orphanage have a key role to play — to remove even one of them would make the ensemble seem incomplete. At the Engeman, the cast features two teams of orphans that will appear on different nights, but if the “red team” is any indicator, you’re in for a treat regardless of whose turn it is. The chemistry among the girls is natural and endearing — a special note of praise should go to the adorable Sophia Lily Tamburo, who plays Molly, the youngest of the bunch. Her comedic timing and dance moves are so impressive for her age, though all of them are incredibly talented with bright futures ahead. Lynn Andrews is reprising her role as Miss Hannigan for this production — she and Elizabeth Broadhurst (Grace Farrell) were part of the 30th Anniversary Tour of “Annie” beginning in 2005. Andrews’ character is loud, proud and shameless with bold vocals to match. She’s snarky, funny and foolish, sometimes all at once, which is entertaining to watch. Her rollicking performance of “Easy Street” with Jon Peterson and Gina Milo (Rooster Hannigan and Lily
St. Regis, respectively) is one of the best in the show with fantastic harmonies. George Dvorsky, another seasoned Broadway actor, plays Oliver Warbucks, the billionaire looking to make one orphan’s Christmas a bit brighter. He wasn’t expecting a little girl, however, and the relationship he builds with Annie is full of emotion and nuance. Dvorsky has both comedic and poignant moments in the show, and his performance of “Something Was Missing” will resonate with anyone who has experienced deep love of any kind. There are also a few special guests in this show. For a brief time, Annie finds a loveable sidekick in a stray dog named Sandy. In this production, Sandy is actually played by two real dogs, Moon and Sandy. Moon was once a stray himself, and Sandy was recently rescued from a kill shelter following this summer’s devastating Hurricane Harvey in Texas. The dogs are amazingly well-behaved onstage thanks to hard work with Happy Dog Training & Behavior and the support of the cast “animal wrangler,” Cassidy Ingram. While the ensemble serves as the supporting cast for the show, they have plenty of time to shine on their own — keep an eye out for them during the hilarious scenes at the White House and the radio station. New York scenic designers Christopher and Justin Swader are behind the unique and versatile set for this production. Detailed artwork of a hazy NYC skyline remains in the background throughout the show, and scene changes are made by the cast themselves. There’s not a lot of variation, but the transitions are simple and clear, so it gets the job done. Jonathan Brenner leads a seven-man orchestra in performing the classic score.
As of this writing, it still feels a bit early to think about the holidays, but the Engeman is dressed to the nines with garland and lights. And since “Annie” is set just before Christmas, it’s hard not to catch the holiday spirit during your visit. You might even feel like you’re a guest at Warbucks’ elaborate Christmas party. Each year around the holidays, the John W. Engeman Theater gives back to its community through charitable support. This year, the theater is partnering with the Ecumenical Lay Council Food Pantry at the First Presbyterian Church of Northport, which helps feed more than 160 local families each week. Consider bringing some extra cash to the show, or visit www.fpcnorthport.org to learn more. The John W. Engeman Theater, 250 Main St., Northport will present ‘Annie’ now through Dec. 31. Tickets are $73 to $78. For questions or to purchase tickets, call 631-2612900 or visit www.engemantheater.com.

Scorpio, you have worked hard and are now beginning to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Treat yourself to whatever you would like. Be proud of your efforts.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Minghua Zhang spent a sabbatical year in China trying to improve climate models, which included analyzing errors of current models. A professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University, Zhang focused on the Southern Great Plains of the United States. He explored how the current models did not accurately simulate convection, which created a warm and dry bias. In convection, heat and moisture get carried upward. The models account for summer rainfall but do not calculate the organizational structure of the convective systems, which led them to simulate insufficient precipitation. By adding in the new information, Zhang predicts in recent research published in the scientific journal, Nature Communications, that the projected warming in the region would be 20 percent less than previously thought. Precipitation, meanwhile, would be about the same as it is today, instead of the drying that was previously anticipated.
‘The [climate] warming is going to be [in the Southern Great Plains] and will be significant.’ — Minghua Zhan “The resolution of the models is not high enough to predict the change of the convection with a high degree of precision,” Zhang explained in an email. He suggested that using 10 times the specificity of model calculations, he expects a clearer picture of the likely climate by the end of the 21st century. This is like looking through binoculars at a nondescript moving shape in the distance. By adding focal power to the lens, the image can become sharper and clearer.
The climate is a big picture view of trends over the course of many years. That is distinct from weather, which involves day-to-day variations and which meteorologists describe each morning and evening with colorful images of cold and warm fronts on local maps. “You have many things you can’t see and now you have better binoculars,” he suggested. “This tiny thing in the binoculars can make a bigger impact. What we see is that these [variables] actually matter.” Zhang suggested that a climate model that better accounts for summer rainfall still includes higher temperatures in this sensitive region. “The warming is going to be there and will be significant,” he said. If carbon dioxide emissions continue at their current rate, the warming will still be about five degrees by the end of the century, he suggested. That, he predicted, will still have a significant impact on agriculture. Edmund Chang, a professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook who was not involved in this study, said this research addresses “a specific bias of the model that needs to be taken care of.” He added that researchers know that the “models are not perfect” and suggested that the “scientific and climate modeling community is trying to refine and improve” these tools. Chang agreed that the refinement “doesn’t change the fact that we still project a large increase in the temperatures over the central United States.” The Southern Great Plains region has some unique elements that make climate predictions challenging. It has considerable organized convection, which increases the occurrence of tornadoes. There’s also a large coupling between the soil moisture and the clouds, which means that whatever happens on the land has feedback for the atmosphere.
Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Minghua Zhang Zhang said his research focus is on climate simulation modeling. He knew the models had problems simulating convective events, which is why he started exploring this specific region. “The way the models are constructed, the granules are not small enough,” he said. Chang expected that this work would “spur more research on trying to understand this mechanism. Model developers will need to try to find out how to improve the physical model.” Zhang has been working for the last two years with scientists from Tsinghua University in China, which included his time on sabbatical. “When you are on sabbatical, you have more time to really think about problems,” He said. Chang added that sabbaticals can provide some time to focus on specific scientific questions. During a typical semester that includes administrative responsibilities and teaching, professors “are very busy,” Chang said. “We really don’t have an extended period of time to focus on one project. The sabbatical gives us a chance to focus.” Zhang hopes this study “motivates people to think about how to improve their models in describing” other climate systems. One of the many challenges scientists like Zhang face in developing these climate models is that their computers are still not powerful enough to resolve elements like clouds, which not only dot the landscape and

provide shade during the summer but also send the sun’s energy back into space. The system he’s studying is “chaotic by nature,” which makes accounting for elements that change regularly challenging. He suggested that these studies were akin to the butterfly effect. Scientists have suggested that someone who went back in time and committed a seemingly trivial act, like killing a single butterfly, might return to his familiar time and surroundings to discover profound changes. While that’s an exaggeration, that’s still the kind of system he said researchers are confronting as they try to account for, and weigh, climate defining factors. That’s why he’s looking for statistical, or probabilistic, predictions that are averaged over time periods. The United States, China and the European Union are all pursuing more powerful computers for these kinds of applications, Zhang said. Zhang, who is the editor-inchief of the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, has been involved in an advisory capacity with the United States Department of Energy in developing these models. As for this specific effort, Zhang said he was pleased that the paper pointed out a research direction to refine models for climate in this area. “What we see is that these things [including convection] actually matter,” he said. “That’s the main contribution of this paper.”
Do not avoid others to escape conflict, Aquarius; otherwise, you are only delaying the inevitable. Speak your mind and address the situation with tact and professionalism.

My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels. This was accomplished in a little over 3 months. Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months. In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future. —D.L., age 64
“My pain has subsided considerably. But, I must tell you that I don’t think I would have made it this far without your help. I was a mess when I first saw you, but you gave me a new sense of strength, new knowledge about nutrition and just a better regard for myself.” ~ Nurse Practitioner/ IBS and ulcerative colitis sufferer, age 62
“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.” ~ Nurse, age 62 “I feel awesome after eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44

Diabetes: Prevention and reversal
Antioxidants in foods may reduce diabetes risk Type 2 diabetes continues to be an epidemic that is monopolizing health care budgets. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the incidence of diabetes has tripled in the last 20 years (1). We need a plan to prevent the disease and to reverse its course. In medicine, our arsenal of drug therapies has grown considerably, but there are unpleasant side effects. Drugs have even been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease in diabetes patients, which is the number one reason that patients die. However, there is nothing potentially more powerful with beneficial side effects than lifestyle modifications, especially diet and exercise. And when it comes to reversal, lifestyle modifications are the only potential source. Two large observational studies, the Adventist Health Study 2 and the EPIC trial, have By David shown the considDunaief, M.D. erable prevention abilities of diet. In terms of reversal, several studies with a plant-based diet, including one run by Dr. Neal Barnard and another that I published with Dr. Joel Fuhrman, indicate its efficacy. These are backed up by additional anecdotal stories from my clinical experience over an 11-year period. Let’s look at the research.
Prevention of diabetes with diet A recently published prospective study of the E3N EPIC trial showed considerable benefit from the antioxidant capacity of foods including fruits, vegetables and tea (2). Those who consumed the highest quintile of antioxidants reduced their diabetes risk 39 percent compared to the lowest quintile. After adjusting for weight loss, there was still a statistically significant 27 percent reduction. Interestingly, fruits had the greatest impact with a 23 percent decrease in risk, and vegetables followed with a 19 percent decrease. This study serves two purposes: one, it shows that antioxidant capacity is important in food; and two, it demonstrates that fruit actually has beneficial effects for those at risk of diabetes. This was not solely a plant-based diet or a vegan or vegetarian diet. This is an impressive effect considering that people may have been eating many other items that may not have been beneficial in addition to fruits and vegetables. Study participants were 64,223 women who did not have diabetes or cardiovascular disease at the beginning of the study. One of the major weakness of this trial is that the food frequency questionnaire was only used at the study’s start. This means we have to assume people continued to eat the same way throughout the study. In the Adventist Health Study, the results of a plant-based diet were very powerful. This showed significant effects and,
Lifestyle modifications, particularly switching to plantbased diets, are effective tools in reversing diabetes. unlike the EPIC trial, compared people who were trying to eat healthy with those who ate either a vegan or vegetarian plantbased diet. Results showed that those who ate a vegan plant-based diet and those who ate a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet were at 62 and 38 percent, respectively, lower risk of developing diabetes than those who were eating a health-conscious omnivore diet (3). This study reaffirms how a plantbased diet is so important when it comes to preventing diabetes. There were 15,200 men and 26,187 women in this study, and the results were as impressive in both blacks and nonblacks.
Reversal of diabetes with diet A randomized controlled trial, considered the gold standard of trials, used drug therapy to reduce HbA1C to near nondiabetes levels; however, they could not achieve this before multiple deaths occurred (4). The reason, the researchers surmise, was polypharmacy, or too many drugs. Fortunately, this is not the case with lifestyle modifications. In one randomized controlled trial, Barnard compared a low-fat vegan diet to the American Diabetes Association diet at the time. The results showed that with a lowfat vegan diet, HbA1C was reduced significantly more than with the ADA diet (5). This trial included 49 patients on the lowfat vegan diet and 50 patients on the ADA diet. The trial duration was 74 weeks. This trial, though small, does show substantial benefit with a low-fat vegan diet. The benefits of a plant-based diet have been known for many decades. In a 1979 study on diabetes, results showed that insulin was significantly reduced by more than half on a high carbohydrate, highplant fiber diet (HCF) compared to a control diet (6). This effect was seen in approximately 2.5 weeks. Involving 20 men with type 2 diabetes who had a mean duration with diabetes of 8 years, patients were started on the control diet for seven days and then switched to the HCF diet for 16 days. This showed
reversal with diet over a short period of time and reduction in medication. Thus, diet does not only have an insidious (slow) effect, but it also has an acute (immediate) effect on diseases. Of course, insulin was the gold standard of treatment at the time. More recently, in a retrospective (backward-looking) case series with 13 men and women with type 2 diabetes, results showed that HbA1C was reduced from a mean of 8.2 to 5.8 percent over a seven-month period (7). This was an impressive 2.4 percent reduction in HbA1C, and 62 percent of patients reached normal sugar levels. At baseline, patients were on an average of four medications, including diabetes medications. By seven months, they were able to reduce this to one medication while significantly decreasing their HbA1C. In addition, their blood pressure and triglycerides improved. These patients were following a nutrient-dense, plant-based diet. This study was performed by myself and Fuhrman using patients in his practice. The study’s weaknesses were that there was no control arm and that it was retrospective. But this does imply that there is potential for diabetes reversal. In my clinical practice, I have seen many diabetes patients successfully reverse their disease. Let me share one anecdotal story. A 55-year-old diabetes male Caucasian patient told me that no relative had lived past 57 because they died from diabetes complications. He is currently 60 years old or, as he likes to put it, “three years past expiration date.” When he first came to see me, he was on four diabetes medications, including insulin, plus a statin. He is no longer on any of these medications. These results were seen in only two months. He did lose weight, but at a much slower pace than the metabolic changes that took place in his body. This anecdotal story is inspirational and reinforces the research above. In conclusion, while medications are important for the treatment of diabetes, nothing seems to trump lifestyle modifications. Diet, especially, can play both prevention and reversal roles. Even fruit plays a significant role in reducing the incidence of diabetes. Regardless of family history, as demonstrated by my patient, these results can be achieved. Whether or not you are on medications, if you have diabetes, lifestyle modifications should be adopted to get optimal results.

FEATURE STORY
Danger on the high seas: Reliving ‘the perfect storm’ Whaling Museum hosts an evening with The Accidental Sailor
By Heidi Sutton The Whaling Museum in Cold Spring Harbor hosted a presentation of “The Accidental Sailor” with guest speaker and storyteller Nelson Simon last Thursday evening. In front of a captivated audience, Simon recounted how he and his crew members were caught in “the perfect storm” off the coast of North Carolina and how they all miraculously survived. With a slide show and readings from his journal, Simon gave a dramatic day-by-day account up until that fateful hour when the ship starting taking on water and had to be abandoned. Simon opened the lecture by reading the names of his crewmates: Joey Gelband, Laingdon Schmitt, Jen Irving, Peter Abelman, Damian Sailors, Marty Hanks, Barbara Treyz and John Nuciforo. “A ship in a storm is like a tiny quadrant of order in a huge universe of chaos and it only works if everyone does their job, and these people did,” said Simon solemnly. In late Oct. 1991, the Brooklyn resident found himself aboard the Anne Kristine, a 150-year-old Norwegian schooner bound for Bermuda from Mills Basin, Brooklyn. The 95foot ship, which had been lovingly rebuilt by explorer Norman Baker in 1986, was to be transported to Bermuda and then continue on to Puerto Rico to take part in a scientific expedition to study whale behavior. Simon had second thoughts from the very beginning, a sort of sixth sense about the whole thing, but signed up nevertheless as the last, and least experienced, ninth crew member. Why did he do it? “Maybe being an immigrant, we are taught to fit in, go along, to accommodate people. I didn’t want to be a bother,” explained Simon, who was born in La Paz, Bolivia. Though he had recently sailed on the Clearwater Sloop for a week down the Hudson River holding educational tours, he
couldn’t help but wonder what he had gotten himself into. What was supposed to be a pleasure cruise, turned out to be a near death and life-changing experience for Simon as the ship found itself caught between a nor’easter and Hurricane Grace, battered relentlessly by enormous waves for days until the captain sent out a Mayday. Unlike the fishing boat Andrea Gail and its sixmember crew who were lost in the storm never to be seen again, the crew of the Anne Kristine were all rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard on Oct. 29. Simon described how each crew member had to jump into the raging sea one at a time with a life jacket and flashlight and wait to be plucked out by a helicopter rescue crew. Last seen turning sideways in the waves, the ship was lost at sea. “Anne Kristine did everything that we asked of her,” stressed Simon. “She held up under the most challenging circumstances. She was completely seaworthy. There was some talk afterward that she had let us down but nothing could be further from the truth.” Instead, Simon blamed human error, citing several key mistakes including “heading east instead of west” and not priming the pumps properly. For the crew, telling Norman Baker that his beloved ship had sunk was hard. “Anne Kristine wasn’t just a ship, she was a community,” said Simon. Baker held a memorial for the ship shortly after at his home in Massachusetts — 150 people showed up, including the ninemember crew that sailed on her last. Even after 26 years, Simon still gets emotional speaking about the event. “In preparing this [lecture] I remembered how afraid I was,” said Simon. He described the scene right before he was rescued — “a young man standing on the ship’s deck, looking up at the [midnight sun], wondering how he got here and waiting for his chance to get away.”

THEATER
WMHO to host holiday tribute show Celebrating the lives of Linda Ronstadt & Olivia Newton-John
Linda Ronstadt By Ed Blair Olivia Newton-John was born in Cambridge, England, and raised in Melbourne, Australia. Linda Ronstadt was born in Tucson, Arizona. "They were polar opposites in fashion style, song content and personality," said Sal St. George, longtime creator of productions chronicling the lives of popular stars of the past and present. "And yet," he continued, "Olivia and Linda had very similar beginnings and successes." Thus the reason that St. George has paired the two iconic songstresses in a Living History Production titled Tribute: Linda Ronstadt & Olivia Newton-John, a heartwarming holiday show that will run from Nov. 19 through Jan. 10 at the Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Educational & Cultural Center in Stony Brook Village. "Country, pop, opera, rock, Broadway — they successfully conquered all music genres and became music legends," he added. The celebration of the lives of the two internationally famous singers focuses on their incredible stories, and audiences will thrill once again to their classic songs. The show’s motif will be familiar to St. George fans. "The program will follow the
same format as in the past," he explained, "except we have two of the most popular singers of the seventies as our stars. We are in the year 1978. Olivia is riding high with the success of 'Grease.' Linda is astounding New York audiences in 'The Pirates of Penzance.' Both shows will be discussed in the program, and, along with the songs of the stars, seventies’ fashions will be highlighted." Linda Ronstadt’s singing career was quite diversified. Beginning with her work as lead vocalist for the folk-rock group Stone Poneys in the mid-1960s ("Different Drum" scored high on the ratings charts), Ronstadt pursued country, alt-country, country rock, pop rock, Latin and classic jazz genres. Along the way, she put together the band that became the Eagles, won a dozen Grammy Awards and was christened the "Queen of Country Rock." By the mid-1970s, Ronstadt’s image became just as famous as her music. In 1976, she appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone and was also featured on a TIME magazine cover in 1977. She was the top-selling female vocalist of the 1970s and produced a succession of platinum albums on into the '80s. Ronstadt’s popularity continued into the '90s, and beyond. In a 2011 interview with the Arizona Daily Star, Ronstadt announced her retirement and sadly, in August 2013, she revealed to AARP that she was suffering from Parkinson’s disease, saying "I can no longer sing at all." In an April 2016 interview, Ronstadt

is quoted as saying, "I can’t sing anymore. That’s that. I can still sing in my brain but I can’t sing. It’s just the way it is. If you’re going to have Parkinson’s you’d better have a sense of humor." Actress Emily Tafur, who portrays Ronstadt in the WMHO production, noted, "I feel challenged and appreciated and honored to be portraying one of the great music legends of our time." Olivia Newton-John was known in the UK and Australia for her performances on television and in clubs, but her fame grew further when she came to the United States. Her hit recording "I Honestly Love You" (1974 Record of the Year) garnered a Grammy Award, and more successful albums followed. Newton-John really rocketed to international stardom, however, for her role in the 1978 film "Grease," in which she co-starred with John Travolta. Although she received another Grammy in 1981 for her hit, "Let’s Get Physical," Newton-John’s musical career waned somewhat in the 1980s. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 and underwent a partial mastectomy. She has since donated portions of the proceeds of her appearances to cancer research and has recorded songs she designed to provide hope and courage to cancer patients and their families. Continuing her advocacy, Newton-John organized a charity walk along the Great Wall of China with other cancer survivors to raise funds to build the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and

Shania Johnson scores 20 points in Seawolves’ season-opening victory Stony Brook women’s basketball team began the 2017-18 season in impressive fashion Saturday night at Island Federal Credit Union Arena. The Seawolves topped Manhattan College, 74-59, in nonconference action Nov. 11.
“I thought our group really came out with a lot of energy and enthusiasm to compete on our home court,” Stony Brook head coach Caroline McCombs said. “Our crowd was amazing and continued to pump us up. Manhattan is a good, experienced team, and I was proud of our perseverance.” Shania Johnson paced the Seawolves’ offense, recording 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds in the win. The junior shot 8-for-15 from the floor and 3-for-8 from 3-point range. Jerell Matthews chipped in with 13 points and eight rebounds, shooting 5-for-12 from the floor; Aaliyah Worley added nine points; and India Pagan recorded eight points and four rebounds. Johnson scored six of the Seawolves’ first nine points over the first three minutes of action. The junior drove to the basketball for her first hoop of the season, nailed a 3-pointer, then hit two free throws to help Stony Brook grab an early 9-6 lead.

Shania Johnson, above, carried the ball between two Manahttan College defenders as she makes her way to the net. Aaliyah Worley, on left, guards against the offense. Stony Brook closed out the final 3:32 of the second quarter on a 7-2 run, leading 36-29 at halftime. The Seawolves shot 48.3 percent from the floor in the first half, making three 3-pointers. Stony Brook opened the third quarter on a 5-0 run over the first 2:28, opening the lead up to 43-29. Johnson nailed a 3-pointer, then
Worley got to the basket for two. Stony Brook outscored Manhattan 19-9 in the second quarter, and 22-13 in the third. The Seawolves shot 61.5 percent in the second, and 71.4 percent in the third. Stony Brook traveled to Hofstra University Nov. 14 for a nonconference matchup, but results were not available by press time.
Junior class leads Seawolves to win over Wagner on Senior Day It was members of Stony Brook football team’s junior class that shined on Senior Day in the Seawolves’ 38-10 victory over nonconference foe Wagner College Nov. 11. Stony Brook (8-2, 6-1 Colonial Athletic Association) scored on two rushing touchdowns by running back Jordan Gowins and two passing by quarterback Joe Carbone. “We have a saying around here that it is tough to win games on Saturdays,” Stony Brook head coach Chuck Priore said. “Both teams prepared for the game and certainly it was no different than I thought it would be. I thought it would be a competitive game.” Wagner cracked the scoreboard first with a 29-yard field goal by James Cooper with 7:56 left in the first quarter, but Stony Brook bounced right back. Carbone hit Harrison Jackson, a wide receiver and graduate student, with a 12-yard touchdown pass, and junior Nick Courtney’s extra-point attempt was good to take the lead. The drive was two plays for 14 yards and was set up by a 71-yard kickoff return by senior defensive back Darin Peart. Wagner retook the lead with a 29-yard touchdown, but Stony Brook took a 21-10 advantage into halftime with a 17-yard run by Gowins and a kick by Courtney. Defensively, Stony Brook shutout Wagner (3-7, 1-4 NEC) in the second half and forced the Seahawks into three turnovers. “I was not happy with our overall perfor-
mance in the first half, but we stuck to what we had to do and made some plays,” Priore said. “We gathered at halftime and took care of the problems we had and were successful with what we did in the second half. A lot of kids stepped to the plate.” Running back Donald Liotine scampered into the end zone from 45 yards out for a touchdown on the Seawolves’ opening drive of the second half, and Gowins extended the lead with a one-yard run later in the quarter. Courtney knocked in a 24-yard field goal with 12:52 remaining in the fourth quarter to make the score 31-10, and Carbone helped drive it home with a 21-yard pass to junior wide receiver Donavin Washington. Carbone finished 12-for-20 for 115 yards. Stony Brook gained 309 yards of total offense on 61 plays and had the ball for 27:22 minutes of the game. Gowins gained 125 yards on 16 carries with two touchdowns. For his second 100-plus yard game of his career and first multitouchdown game. Senior wide receiver Ray Bolden finished with four receptions for 33 yards. Defensive back Chris Cooper recorded seven tackles, while linebacker Shayne Lawless also had seven, a fumble recovery and interception. The Seawolves close out the regular season when they travel to Orono, Maine, to face the Black Bears at Alfond Sports Stadium Nov. 18. Kickoff is set for noon.

the Stony Brook men’s cross-country team off to the races at the NCAA regional meet.
Men place 4th at NCAA regional The Stony Brook men’s and women’s cross-country teams traveled to Audubon Golf Course for the NCAA Northeast Regional. The men placed fourth overall for the highest finish in program history. “In tough conditions our men produced what I would call the best team effort in history of the program,” Stony Brook head coach Andy Ronan said. “We have won three conference titles in five years, but today all seven guys produced a total team effort against the best teams in the region.” The Northeast Regional is made up of all Division 1 teams in the New England and New York area. Each race consists of 40 teams with seven athletes on each team. Two teams automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships along with 13 at-large bids. The top four individuals from each regional not on qualifying teams also advance. Vann Moffett made the All-Region team

by producing a strong run over the last 1,000 meters. He finished 23rd with a time of 32 minutes, 37.1 seconds in the men’s 10K. Cameron Avery did not miss the All-Region team by much and came in 34th in 32:56.6. Bryce Hedman, Nick Cruz and Chris Biondi battled hard throughout the race to secure strong performances, according to Ronan. Hedman finished 48th in 33:15.7, Cruz placed 56th in 33:23.4 and Biondi came in 61st with a time of 33:30.2. Danny Connelly and Kyle Kelly had moments where they struggled in the conditions but kept their focus and both finished strong over the latter stages of the 10K race. “This group worked hard all summer and fall to achieve two goals: win the conference and finish top six in the region,” Ronan said. “Both goals were achieved, now it’s time for a well-earned break too enjoy what they have achieved.”

The second annual Safe Trick or Treat at The Shoppes at East Wind in Wading River proved to be a huge success, with more than 300 princesses, superheroes and ghouls visiting The Shoppes to celebrate Halloween. Along with the festivities, The Shoppes at East Wind announced the winner of their first Scarecrow Contest. Congratulations to the Guldi family of Sound Beach who took home the Grand Prize for their imaginative creation “Princess Crowpunzel.” “We were excited to build a scarecrow for the contest because our daughter loves scarecrows and all things Halloween. We thought it was a great way to do something together as a family,” said Amy Guldi. “My daughter got to learn firsthand about planning, taking turns and teamwork, and she was so proud and delighted to see our scarecrow on display at The Shoppes!” “We had a great turnout and the scarecrows were a welcome addition to The Shoppes décor,” said Charlotte Coté, marketing director of East Wind Long Island. “We hope to continue this tradition in the years to come.”

The Heritage Park in Mount Sinai keeps getting better and better. Recently Grace Burns of Girl Scout Troop 004 created a nature-themed reading center directly behind the park’s new Little Free Library for her Gold Award project. “After the park moved the Little Free Library near The Shack, it hadn’t been recognized to it’s full potential,” said the 17-year-old in a recent email. The Mount Sinai High School senior is hopeful the sitting area will spark more interest in reading and hopefully some more visitors to the library. But that’s not all. According to Burns, the project is still in the works. “I’m currently running a book drive to restock the library and I’m creating signs that will draw more attention to the area.

Thornton scores Patriots’ lone goal in OT for state title By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Kerri Thornton has become a thorn in the side of her opponents. The senior standout scored Ward Melville’s game-winning goal in overtime to help the Patriots bring home the first Class A state title in field hockey since 2008 with a 1-0 win over Maine-Endwell on their field Nov. 12. “At first, I honestly did not think it went in,” Thornton said. “When Kate [Mulham] got the back ball, I ran back into the circle and got ready for her to send it in. When she did, I received it, and just turned around and shot it hard hoping that it would go in.” As Thornton’s teammates surrounded her in celebration, she said she knew what she’d done. “I let out a huge shout in relief,” she said as she saw the smiling faces racing toward her. “It has been our dream ever since we were kids to win a championship like this. The journey this season — as a senior this year — this was what I wanted. I’m just so proud of my team for putting in the time and effort to get to where we got. It’s incredible that we finally pulled it off.” The game-winning goal was scored with 4:37 left in overtime. Mulham said despite the team’s perfect 21-0 record, losing in the state final and semifinal games in extra minutes in the last two years lingered in the back of their minds. She said despite coming up just short in recent years, she knew the qualities her surrounding teammates possessed. “What makes Ward Melville field hockey different is that we field a team where every girl is extremely talented,” she said. “Overtime is a high-pressure situation, but I was confident. That’s what makes us so successful.” She said when she heard her classmate calling for the ball from the circle, she knew what she had to do. “All I could see was a swarm of defenders when I passed the ball to Kerri,” Mulham said. “But I heard her calling for it, and I trust her, so I sent it to her. When I saw it go into the net,

I broke down — tears of joy, and I rushed to hug her so tightly. I never wanted something so badly, and to accomplish something like this with your best friends is a feeling I can’t even put into words.” With the intensity up and with a huge target on its back, Ward Melville began its journey upstate Nov. 11. With a second trip to the finals in three years on the line, junior Lexi Reinhardt was the first Patriot to jump for joy. Long Island’s leading goal scorer (33 points on 24 goals and nine assists) found the back of the cage in another pressure-filled situation. With 23 seconds left in the first half of a 0-0 game with Baldwinsville, she scored off an assist from senior Shannon Coughlan to send Ward Melville to the finals. “The play was on a corner and in these games corners are precious,” Reinhardt said. “It was just a great pass from Shannon Coughlan and I was in the right position to finish it.” She said the Patriots wanted to make a statement being back in the state semifinal game for the third year in a row. “Heading in, there was definitely some nerves, but I think we channeled that and we were able to play off of the energy of the situation,” she said. “During the game we didn’t focus on that though, we were just focused on playing our game, and winning. The joy and happiness that we feel has radiated throughout the entire program. I will never forget this team.”

Men and women take part in sharing abuse stories on Twitter using the hashtag #MeToo.
The power to curb abuse The sexual harassment dam broke when the allegations surged against producer Harvey Weinstein. A tsunami of newly empowered victims have spoken out about sexual harassment in the workplace after the fall of entertainment heavyweights like Weinstein and Bill O’Reilly, and it has led to others coming out against actor Kevin Spacey, comedian Louis C.K. and many others. Most employers take allegations of sexual and ethnic harassment seriously and show little tolerance when presented with credible cases of abuse. However, in situations where the accused are “rainmakers” — individuals on whom the success of the business depends — too many companies sweep allegations of predatory behavior under the rug. With a wave of accusations of sexual harassment and assault, often dating back years, the industry frontrunners have been forced to step down from their roles, but there needs to be consistency, and more needs to be done to restrict the persistent flow of these cases. We can only hope that the last month will serve to further empower victims harboring years-old stories. It is important that anyone with a story to tell knows that if credible, their story will be believed and repercussions will follow. We hope more men, women and children step up and speak out, regardless of whether or not the abuser is in a position of power, though we understand how difficult that is. Don’t be fearful of public embarrassment, don’t worry about your reputation and never feel like lesser goods. Instead, think about the wrongs you’d be righting. Think of the people you could prevent from coming in harm’s way, and think of the justice that will be served. There are two types of repercussions for situations like these: legal ones and societal ones. In the situations where statutes of limitation have expired or physical evidence is limited, legal consequences are not always possible. When those cases arise, it is incumbent on society to make the pain felt elsewhere. Following the Bill Cosby allegations, all of his “The Cosby Show” videos were removed from television, Netflix, YouTube, etc. While Netflix has parted ways with Spacey on “House of Cards,” all of the seasons from pilot to finale are still intact, as well as C.K.’s show “Louie,” although Netflix has canceled his planned stand-up special, and his new feature film has been put on hold. How Cosby’s work has been treated in the aftermath of his date rape revelations provides a sharp contrast to the conversation around C.K.’s. The latter is currently receiving thought pieces on separating the flawed man from his brilliant work. Even if the accusations are not as harsh as those brought upon Cosby, the allegations are disgusting and should be treated as such. In the last year, Cosby said he’s completely blind. Let’s see if the cases against Weinstein, Spacey and C.K are enough to open the eyes of society to the inappropriate conduct and crimes of people in power. We hope that the country and workplace don’t turn blind eyes to these behaviors the way some people did for now-President Donald Trump (R) when he said in his leaked tape of “locker room” talk,, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy,” To the Cosbys, Weinsteins, Spaceys and C.K.’s of the world, locker room talk and actions are not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

Trump has no need to revise his speech In the letter “Watch your language President Trump,” The Village Times Herald, Oct. 5, Elio Zappulla professed to be shocked and dismayed by indelicate language from President Trump, and expressed concern about the effect this may have on our young people, especially schoolchildren. Professor Zappulla was particularly offended by Trump’s use of the term “sons of b.....s,” which he applied to those overpaid millionaire NFL football players who chose to show their disrespect for our flag and our country by kneeling during the playing of the national anthem. President Obama, on the other hand, was lauded as an outstanding example of controlled speech. There may be some truth to this assertion. From the time
Barack Obama was a young man, smoking pot on the top of a mountain in Hawaii, he knew that his destiny was to be a politician, and, not unreasonably, he refined his public oratory accordingly. Donald Trump, on the other hand, opted to work for a living, and he found that the use of politically correct speech was not a mandatory requirement for success. When he decided to enter politics for the first time, at the age of 69, he found no reason to revise his speech patterns. Many people find it refreshing to have a president who always tells the truth on matters of substance, even though he shows scant evidence of having studied the King’s English. This is contrasted with the rhetoric of President Obama, who went to Harvard, and yet told us that
Obamacare would save each family $2,500 a year, that the attack on Benghazi was a reaction to a video that insulted Islam, that there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” behind the IRS targeting of conservative groups, and that he would preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. With regard to our schoolchildren, I think we do not need to be overly concerned. When my grandkids receive presents for their birthday or Christmas, they look at the wrapping paper for about a second, as beautiful as it may be. Then, they remove it and throw it away, because it is, after all, only wrapping paper. I think they are headed in the right direction.

Zeldin: ‘Yes’ vote merely political posturing In the Nov. 9 edition of The Village Times Herald, a letter from Congressman Lee Zeldin (R) “‘No’ vote on Trump’s tax reform bill,” was published about his opposition to the Trump tax reform bill. He stated that he is a “no vote to the bill in its current form,” and that “we need to fix this state and local tax deduction issue.” What the congressman fails to mention is his initial vote in favor of the Trump budget that paves the way for these tax cuts. Mr. Zeldin was the only member of the Long Island congressional delegation to cast a “yes” vote to this bill, which cuts Medicare and Medicaid by $500 billion. He also did not sign on to a bipartisan letter to Steven Mnuchin that included 68 representatives from New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California, asking that the SALT deductions not be affected by a tax cut. The congressman only speaks
about the SALT portion of the bill, but does not seem to take issue with the Medicaid and Medicare cuts, or the taxation of graduate student stipends, which would affect many of our doctoral students at Stony Brook University,s a major economic hub in our district. He claims that his goal in tax reform is “allowing constituents to save more of their paycheck, reduce their cost of living, and put away more money for retirement.” I fail to see how a tax cut will do that when our oldest and poorest citizens lose their health care, and when our young students, who are already saddled with college debt, have to pay taxes on their small income. The math and logic simply does not add up here. The people who will benefit from this tax cut are billionaires like Robert Mercer, a donor of Mr. Zeldin’s. This is also an
opportunity for the Republican Party and Donald Trump to score a much-needed “win,” after failing to pass any meaningful legislation thus far. It is my guess that this is the reason that Congressman Zeldin was not proactive in opposing this bill, and was a “yes” vote the first time. Mr. Zeldin has been making the rounds on cable news, touting his so-called independence on this vote. But one does not have to look far to see that this is merely political posturing. Lee Zeldin is carrying water for Paul Ryan, Donald Trump and his billionaire donors like Robert Mercer, and betraying the interests of his constituents with the majority of his votes. It is the obligation of the constituents of the 1st Congressional District to hold him accountable for his votes.

e rarely get anything completely right the first time. I’m not just saying that because I’m a second child. I idolize my older brother. In fact, I’m fond of my younger brother, too. We need practice. When we’re young, we take a few steps and we fall hard. Fortunately, at that age, we’re practically made of plastic, bouncing off the nearby floor as if it were a downy soft trampoline. As we age, the By Daniel Dunaief floor gets harder. With each figurative step through life, we make adjustments, learn on the fly and revise our approach. We recently visited a few colleges

with our daughter. The cheerful school representatives were selling us on the idea that their classes were great, the students they admitted were incredible and the opportunities were extraordinary. One theme that stuck out, especially after several schools presented it as if unique, was that they made students uncomfortable. They wanted to challenge their undergraduates to reach outside their comfort zone. They wanted eager students to fall down and, in so doing, learn to get back up. This idea of falling is part of the charm of enjoying the ride. We listen to elementary school music concerts in which someone plays a few notes after the conductors arms have stopped moving, we nod encouragement when the young person on stage says a few of the wrong words in a speech, and we suggest to our kids that they’ll spell “because” correctly the next time. The country may have forgotten that our strutting president, who has been
in the public eye for so long, has never been a politician. He’s definitely outside his comfort zone, acting like a president when he hasn’t even been, to borrow a phrase from him, “elected dog catcher.” People pounce on every mistake, every breach of protocol and every misstatement, ready to tar and feather him for saying or writing something that probably would play better on a fictionalized reality TV show than it does for him as president of the United States. He’s so eager to be a part of every story and to expand his brand — something he’s been doing reflexively for years — that he doesn’t appear to take the time to recognize or acknowledge mistakes. I know how it is to say, “my bad.” Many people consider admitting a mistake some sign of weakness, instead of a reflection of strength and self awareness. Erring, as the saying goes, is human. You don’t get many free passes when you’re president. You either learn or you
don’t, you either unify or you don’t, and you either say or do the right thing, or you don’t. Still, it seems to me that he might endear himself to more people, and win higher ratings, if he took a few extra seconds to think about whether he might write or respond to something in a different way. He doesn’t seem burdened by the kind of reflection that allows for his own second thoughts to enter the discussion. People are eager to rip him apart each day, but let’s remember something his handlers and cohorts seem to embrace regularly: He gets angry when people point out that he’s fallen down. Maybe he can meet us halfway, by learning to take an extra second to edit his thoughts or speech. When he takes a few steps without falling, we can breathe a sigh of relief, the way parents do when they’re no longer bending over to protect their children from bumping their heads on nearby coffee tables.
Overcoming grief and hardship with a purpose
J
oe Biden has written a book called, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose,” about one year in his life. A memoir, it deals in part with the illness and death of his elder son, Beau, from brain cancer at the age of 46. I have not read the book. It just came out this past Tuesday, Nov. 14. But the coincidence of the book’s release on the day my husband died at a similarly young age exactly 30 years ago from cancer has connected me to Biden. I know what he went through — the By Leah S. Dunaief shock, the pain, the hope, the heartbreak, the grief and the end that ultimately comes crashing down into silence. Then he faced the absolute necessity of having to pick up and function because life moves on with every passing day. And we must move on with it because there is no respite for the living.
Between you and me
Biden also writes about his difficult decision not to run for president in the 2016 election and about the foreign crises in Iraq, the Ukraine and Central America as part of his workload during that one year. “I wanted to write precisely about the crises and dilemmas I faced as they intersected in the moment,” Biden told Philip Galanes in an interview with The New York Times. “I wanted to show that in the ebb and flow of life, nothing is totally separable.” I know that Biden was lucky to have those other facets to deal with, just as I was lucky to have a huge challenge almost immediately after my husband’s death. Two of my sons were away in college, the third was a high school senior and the newspaper was being challenged by the Communications Workers of America to unionize. A reporter on my staff, who had already made his mark by unionizing the teaching assistants at Stony Brook University, brought the union to my door. He turned his attention to our hometown newspaper, despite the fact that there wasn’t a community newspaper in all of New York state that had a union.

Shoestring budgets and multitask jobs preclude coordinated decision making with a union. The CWA was attracted, I guess, because it represented new territory to conquer. The only problem was that community newspapers are not flush with profits and do not have large staffs to join a union. Nonetheless, we had to fight them off for six months, as they handed out pamphlets with all sorts of painful charges to get our staff worked up against the company. The climax came with an appearance before the National Labor Relations Board in a room without air conditioning in Brooklyn on a hot June day. The pickings were turning out to be pretty lean for the CWA, and they backed off. Throughout the ordeal, I was wildly angry. I wasn’t getting a chance to grieve. Each day I had to rush to the parapets to defend the honor and integrity of the newspaper against what was to me a ridiculously unequal battle. I barely gave any attention to my grieving son who was still at home, nor did I have a chance to pour out my own grief somewhere in a quiet corner. But I did realize how fortunate I was in those who came to my defense. We had absolutely no money to hire a labor lawyer,

and we had no idea how to respond. But the newly retired union leader of the Long Island Rail Road came into my office and offered his help. Harold Pryor was the man who had terrified Gov. Nelson Rockefeller (R) during contract talks by calling wildcat strikes from his totally loyal followers, directing them to abandon the trains at the nearest station during rush hour. Pryor was living in the area and teaching at Stony Brook University. When he found out what was happening to our newspaper, he thought it was not only unfair but also idiotic. He came to advise me through the thicket of union maneuverings, and he brought with him an experienced lawyer to defend us during the hearing. It was a script worthy of a movie. Here was this feared union leader facing off against one of the largest unions for the sake of a peanut of a newspaper. Jimmy Stewart would have played his part in the spirit of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” And thanks to his aid, we emerged unscathed. Only after it was all over did I realize that life had thrown me a life preserver, much as it had for Biden, and therefore we hadn’t drowned in our grief.

Patriots prepare for state swim meet Claim county crown for first time in three years By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Ward Melville’s swim team may have thought it was a rebuilding year, but the Patriots proved they’re faster builders than some might have expected. After claiming the Suffolk County crown 23 years in a row, the Patriots had placed fourth and fifth at the last two county meets. This year, Ward Melville returned to form, taking home the League II title with a perfect 6-0 record, and retrieving the county championship at Suffolk County Community College’s Brentwood campus Nov. 4 with 269 points, well ahead of Connetquot with 231 points and Northport-Commack with 225. “I don’t think going into the season we were looking at a possible county championship to be honest,” Ward Melville head coach Chris Gordon said. “We have a very young team and we thought we were rebuilding, but these girls surprised me. We still had depth, which has always been a team strength at Ward Melville, but some of these young girls shined.” The team’s 200-yard medley relay opened the meet and finished first in 1 minute, 47.86 seconds to beat a 2012 school record. First off the block was senior Victoria Bogdanski. “I just thought about trying my best and being there for my team,” she said. “We didn’t know we were close to the record, so once we finished the race, we were all so excited. We all had this motivation and excitement that
carried through the meet.” Riley Gavigan, Sydney Boals and Kaitlyn Ehlers finished out the relay with personalbest times. Gavigan said she too was only thinking about her team. “I wanted to score points, so I was going as fast as I could,” she said. “I knew I wouldn’t just let down myself, I’d be letting down my whole team. We had to be in the right mindset, and we got each other pumped and ready to win.” Gavigan qualified for three individual events, the 100 breaststroke, 100 backstroke and 200 individual medley but could only compete in two, forgoing the backstroke. The sophomore placed second in both, finishing the individual medley in 2:08.22 and breaststroke in a school-record time of 1:04.98, just a hair off first-place finisher Margaret Purcell of Southampton, who won in 1:04.34. Gavigan said she was not expecting to break a Ward Melville record that had stood since 1990 in the individual medley, the only record Gordon had not seen broken during his tenure. “I want to improve every year,” she said. “So heading into the meet I had tunnel vision. I was focused on myself and not everyone else around me.” Boals qualified to compete in four events — the 100 and 200 freestyles, 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke — deciding to take part in both freestyles. She placed first in the 100 in 53.13 seconds and second in the 200 in 1:54.14. “I was shocked I won the 100 freestyle —
those girls were a lot older than me,” she said. “I’m usually a mid-distance competitor, so I was excited to get that time.” She broke a 2009 record in the 100 freestyle at the league meet and outdid her time on the county stage. She said it only motivates her to dig deeper. “We knew we had to show we were ready and we weren’t afraid of losing,” Boals said. “Now I know I can get even faster than I am now.” Gordon said Boals and Gavigan mean a lot to the team, and noted their impact on the other girls. “They’re both mentally tough kids and they like to compete and they like to race,” he said. “Sydney’s not the kind that backs down — she’s no wilting flower, she likes to meet the challenge and she wants to see the best swimmer. Riley is quieter, not as vocally out there, but she works hard and leads by example. Whatever I ask her to do, there’s never a problem. It’s never an issue.” Ward Melville’s 400 freestyle relay team, which comprised Gavigan, Boals, Ehlers and Kylie Kramer, also qualified. The quartet finished third with a time of 3:40.13. Ehlers also finished ninth in the 100 butterfly; Kramer finished sixth in the 500 freestyle; and the 200 freestyle of Kramer, Hope Farrell, Frances Clever and Sophia Swanson finished third in 1:45.02. Bogdanski reached the finish line eighth in the 100 backstroke. “We had 15 girls make the state qualifying meet, and 23 out of the 27 spots that we competed in we had best times or best dive scores,” Gordon said. “At this point in the season, for them to be swimming as fast as they
are and as young as they are, it’s exciting. We will be graduating 10 or 12 seniors, but right now we’re gathering steam and all of the sudden everyone is dropping time and everyone is doing really well.” The season started off with a bump in the road for the Patriots. Ward Melville lost its opening nonleague meet to a tough Connetquot team, now the county runner-up for the last three seasons, but bounced back to top rival Half Hollow Hills, the defending county champion from last year. “We worked our hearts out and tried to do our best,” Boals said. “We wanted the seniors to leave with a county championship. We wanted them to have fun and coach to be proud and once we beat Half Hollow Hills and we won the league, we knew we had counties in the bag.” Gavigan said the momentum will propel the team toward success this weekend in the state finals Nov. 17 and 18 at Ithaca College. “We were the No. 3 seed heading into counties, so it was good to win and show the other teams that we’re right there with them,” she said. “We’re in the right mindset to place well at states.” If the county meet was any indication, Gordon said, the girls are peaking at the right time. “They work very hard, they get along very well in and out of the pool and they’re just a great bunch of girls,” he said. “Some of their siblings have been past members of the team, so there’s some legacy there and they take this seriously. They’re very dedicated, which I appreciate. I’m hoping everyone has a little more left in the tank to go a little faster this weekend.”
