Town of Brookhaven is offering workshops for parents and guardians of teens. Stock photo
Supervisor Romaine announces workshops for Brookhaven parents Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) recently announced that the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau will be holding workshops for parents and guardians at Town Hall, located at 1 Independence Hill in Farmingville. According to a press release from the town, the workshops being offered are: Dealing with an Angry Adolescent On Friday, March 22, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. this workshop will focus on helping parents and guardians to understand why their teen is angry and the steps that can be taken to ease stress and chaos at home. Inside the World of Vaping On Friday, March 29, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. this workshop will discuss the facts and dangers of vaping and e-cigarettes. Open Discussion and Parent Networking On Friday, April 5, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. there will be an open support group for parents
and guardians to discuss any current problems or struggles they may be having with their teen. “These workshops are designed to help parents and guardians effectively communicate with their children as they are going through difficult and transitional times in their lives,” Romaine said. “I encourage parents and guardians to call the Youth Bureau and register for these very useful workshops.” Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Ridge), town board liaison to the Youth Bureau, said, “As children grow older, it is often the case that they may not want to communicate with adults about what they are going through. This can be frustrating for everyone involved. These workshops will provide a means to open up the communication process and also discuss how to constructively deal with the dangers of vaping.” All of the workshops are free, and residents may participate in as few or as many workshops as desired. To find out more information about Brookhaven Youth Bureau programs, please call 631-451-8011.

Bellone introduces legislation to revitalize shellfish industry BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Long Island has become synonymous with shellfish farming, though in recent years it has become increasingly difficult for farmers to sell and market their products. With that in mind, County Executive Steve Bellone (D) launched a pilot program March 11 designed to remove the red tape to assist local oyster farmers by allowing vendors to expand their current retail opportunities.
“Shellfish farming has been an important part of Long Island’s heritage for decades, and plays an important role in cleaning our waterways and promoting economic activity,” Bellone said. He will be introducing legislation to implement an annual temporary event permit for vendors of shellfish grown or harvested in Long Island waters. The permit will not include fees for the first two years. “The introduction of this legislation will go a long way in removing barriers that have made it difficult for our farmers

to sell and market their locally sourced products,” the county executive said. Under current regulations, shellfish farmers must apply for a vendors temporary food service permit with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services before they can market and sell their products. The permits cost $95 and are valid only for a single event at a fixed location, with a 14-day limit. A permit’s time restriction makes it hard for shellfish farmers to participate in weekly and monthly events such as farmers markets and fairs. As a result, it limits a shellfish farmer’s ability to do business. “The county’s aquaculture industry is vital not only to our Island’s history but to our economy as well,” said county Legislator Bill Lindsay (D-Bohemia), chairman of the Suffolk County Legislature Economic Development Committee. “This industry generates millions of dollars in revenue, supports our local restaurants and provides our residents with world-class locally grown products.” In addition to improving the shellfish industry, the county will continue efforts to improve water quality and restore marine ecosystems. Past efforts include the 2010 aquaculture lease program. That program secured marine access for shellfish cultivation in Peconic Bay and Gardiners Bay to accommodate growth, while considering the needs of existing shellfish agriculture businesses. According to the county’s Department of Economic Development and Planning, the program’s total economic output from 2012 to 2017 was estimated at $13 million. “Long Island’s farmers and aquaculture producers are grateful for this economic incentive proposal put forth by County Executive Bellone to help us market and sell our products direct to consumers,” said Rob Carpenter, administrative director of Long Island Farm Bureau. “It will keep jobs, increase sales tax revenue and continue all the associated environmental benefits the industry does for Long Island residents and our waters.” According to the Long Island Oyster Growers Association, local oysters filter approximately 900 million gallons of water every single day. Oysters improve waterways by eating algae, filtering out particulates and excess nutrients as well as creating habitats for other organisms.

State, county officials aim to get funding back for veterans support program BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM County and state officials plan on embarking on a statewide campaign to advocate for the restoration of funds for a veterans peer support program some have called vital. At a press conference March 15 Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) alongside state Sen. John Brooks (D-Massapequa) urged the state Legislature to restore funding for the Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Project, after the proposed executive budget of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) included no funding for the project. “It is our profound duty to serve our veterans both at home and abroad,” Bellone said. “Often times when our veterans return home they carry scars with them. The Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Project has a proven track record of assisting our veterans regain their lives and I urge Albany to reverse course immediately and fund this vital program.” The project, which is overseen by Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency and Suffolk County United Veterans, aims to serve veterans, active duty members, reserve and National Guard troops suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other adjustment conditions. One of the program goals is to provide peer-topeer support and counseling to veterans who are facing challenges transitioning back to civilian life, along with offering a safe, supportive space for veterans to interact with one another. Brooks, chairman of the state’s Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs, spoke on the challenges many veterans
face when they come home and the good the program does. “These are heroes helping heroes,” the state senator said. “This is a program that enables veterans with knowledge and understanding of issues like PTSD, traumatic brain injury, depression and substance abuse to meet with and counsel veterans who are suffering from one, or several, of these afflictions as a result of their service to our country.” The senator stressed the urgent need for this program and others like it. The program is named after Pfc. Joseph Dwyer, a Mount Sinai resident and U.S. Army combat medic who had served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. After returning home and struggling with PTSD, Dwyer succumbed to his condition in 2008. Last year, 23 counties across the state received $3.735 million in project funding. Joe Cognitore, commander of VFW Post 6249 in Rocky Point, knows the program works and echoed Senator Brooks’ sentiments that programs like the Dwyer project are necessary and vital for veterans. “It’s veterans to veterans,” he said. “Mental health is an important issue.” Cognitore said on a grassroot level the program works, and he was disappointed about the proposed funding cuts. “This is not a Democrat or Republican issue — it’s a bipartisan one,” he said. “We are all in the foxhole.” As chair for the VFW Department of New York Legislative Committee and a member of the VFW National Legislative Committee, Cognitore was in Albany lobbying earlier

this month with other veterans groups urging lawmakers to restore full funds for the program. This year Suffolk County only received a $185,000 share of the money in the state budget. Previously, when the project had its full funds there were plans on expanding the program further into New York state, in addition to the already 23 participating counties. Similarly, two years ago, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) introduced legislation to expand the Dwyer program to the national level. Cognitore mentioned if he had another chance to speak with Cuomo and other lawmakers he would tell them not to slash the budget of a program without due diligence and background research. “It’d be one thing if this program wasn’t
working but that’s not the case here — it works,” he said. “Put yourself in our boots, come visit us and see how the program runs.” Cognitore hopes lawmakers in Albany reverse course and restore funds to the program. He said they are fortunate to have county and state officials on their side who are committed to helping veterans. Bellone plans on traveling to the Hudson Valley and Western New York over the course of the next few weeks to build a coalition of state and local officials on the issue of restoring funding. Beginning in 2012, more than 10,000 veterans have participated in the Joseph P. Dwyer program countywide. Suffolk County is home to the largest veterans population in New York state.

Sun shines bright on 69th MP-RP St. Patrick’s Day Parade BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
Green was the color of choice from Miller Place to Rocky Point as thousands lined the roads to celebrate the 69th annual Miller Place–Rocky Point St. Patrick’s Day Parade March 17. With a cool, sunny day preceding the coming spring, families sat along Route 25A from the Rocky Point Business District all the way into Miller Place and watched as members of the
Miller Place, Rocky Point and Sound Beach fire departments walked in step to members of local family farms, the fife and pipe bands, marching bands, baton twirling teams and many, many more. Before the parade even began, children and adults alike walked through the streets blasting from green plastic trumpets and horns, painted their faces with clovers and even brought their pets out dressed in Irish flair.

Middle Country 11 Rocky Point 2
Middle Country starts season on right foot BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Rocky Point Eagles boys lacrosse team, a Division II contender, tested themselves early against the Middle Country Mad Dogs, a Division I team, in a nonleague lacrosse matchup on their own home turf March 19. Many coaches have said you want to play “up” against a better team to expose your weaknesses and to see where your team needs improvement. The Eagles got that test where they were able to stay with their opponent early, but the Mad Dogs stretched their legs outscoring Rocky Point by five goals over the last two quarters of play to win 11-2 in their second game of this early season. Middle Country senior attack Jacob Hyman
led the way in scoring with four assists and one goal. Senior midfielder Jason McKeever netted two goals and one assist as did teammate Kaleb Pullis, the junior midfielder. Defenseman RJ Smith stretched the net twice as did Erik Worsoe. Pictures clockwise from above, Middle Country midfielder Dominic Ferrara steals the ball; Mad Dogs Hyman keeps an eye on Eagles Kyle Bonesteel; senior midfielder Nicholas Gurello passes behind the cage for the Mad Dogs; Gurello looks for a cutter; senior midfielder McKeever passes behind the cage; and Pullis goes up against Rocky Point sophomore midfielder Matthew Sweeney. Middle Country opens league play on the road against Lindenhurst March 22 at the Lindenhurst Middle School. Faceoff is 5 p.m.

The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted. S.L.T.

Letters to the editor
Let the sunshine in
Mr. George Altemose in The Times of Middle Country Feb. 21 letter “Response to climate change views” studiously ignores the major points in my letter from Jan. 31 “The data involved in climate change” on the co-evolution of industrially produced CO2 (and methane) levels with mean annual Earth surface temperatures, also called MAEST, in the period 1958 to 2018 (315 parts per million rises to 410 ppm CO2, MAEST rises 1.39 degrees Fahrenheit). He gleefully attacks a copy-editing glitch that changed my correct text, [MAEST in 2018] “rose by 1.39 degrees F (0.77 degrees Celsius) over 1951-1980 and 2.09 degrees F over 1800” to the incorrect “rose by 1.39 degrees F ... from 1951 to 1980.” Industrial output of CO2 did increase between 1951 and 1980 (by 20 ppm), while the MAEST went up and down — it’s complicated. But annual CO2 output soared to a steady 30-35 gigatonnes from 1990 through
Editorial
Journalists make a living often by shining a light on the behind-the-scenes actions of government officials and other people in power. The role of the press is critical to a healthy society. To promote open government, both the federal and state governments have strong laws that preserve a person’s rights to access government records and meetings. Journalists regularly rely on these laws to do their job, but these rights belong to all people. Anyone can request records and attend the meetings of elected officials. TBR News Media participated last issue in Sunshine Week, sponsored by the American Society of News Editors and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. The initiative’s goal is to better inform the public of their open government rights to access records and meetings of government entities of all sizes. We focused on New York State’s Freedom of Information Law and found that some local government offices were following antiquated practices. Since 1978, governments in New York have been required to adopt a record access code consistent with that of New York State. Not every government is up to date. We found that most government offer preprinted FOIL request forms on their website but lacked record access clause in their online code book. Fortunately, the state’s Department of State Committee on Open Government makes it easy for officials to update their code. Its website provides model regulations that can be easily adopted. We’re proud to say that in response to our reporting, Port Jefferson Village quickly agreed to review and revise their code as needed. Another village, Head of the Harbor, was more resistant. It’s important for people to know that since 2006 New York State requires that government entities accept and respond to FOIL requests via email, if they have email. If they use emails internally, executive director of the Committee on Open Government, Robert Freeman, said that it’s hard to imagine why it can’t be used for record access. New York was the first state in the nation to address this problem. In today’s electronic age, there’s little need to physically go to town or village hall to request or receive records. Transparency in government is imperative, and we encourage all town and village halls, as well as schools, to review their practices to ensure the easiest means for the public to access records. The more resistant a government entity is to follow open government rules, the more critical it is for people to challenge it. For more information on New York’s Freedom of Information Law, the Open Meetings Law and the Personal Privacy Protection Law, visit www.dos.ny.gov/coog/.

Overlooking major points in last letter 2018, increasing atmospheric CO2 by 60 ppm, and MAEST by 1.39 degrees F above 1980. Google “NOAA global temperature graph” to see MAEST evolution from 1880 to 2018. Clouds (suspended water droplets) scatter incoming visible sunlight straight back into space (why they’re white). “Greenhouse” refers to the absorption and re-emission, half back to the surface, of some of the Earth’s own black-body radiation, in the middle infrared by some gases. Altemose raises, yet again, the red herring of water vapor (the last refuge of pro-fossil-fuel apologists is to distract and sow doubt). To repeat myself, water vapor is important, but it doesn’t accumulate, it rains; there’s no reason to believe its effect has changed much since 1800, and in any case it’s beyond our control. The main gases where increments strongly affect greenhouse back re-emission are, indisputably, CO2 and methane (more
than 20 times as effective as CO2; 1 ppm increments have huge effects). Besides hysteria (“Before we flush trillions of our children’s dollars … hoodwinked … flimflammed by tales of imaginary tipping points”), Altemose tries to bury rational quantitative arguments in ridicule. He lists marginal or irrelevant factors, including “[his] favorite” (har-har), methane from cow flatulence. Methane is released into the atmosphere in industrial quantities during fossil-fuel extraction and transport, but also by anaerobic biological processes that have become important as the human population has exploded: in rice paddies, giant garbage dumps, factory-farm animal waste and, not least, in one billion beef and dairy cattle. These ruminants eat cellulose that their rumen methanogenic bacteria ferment, to digestible fatty acids, and the methane they belch, not fart, out. Arnold Wishnia Setauket
Reps. using Jewish pain as a political prop On March 7, the House of Representatives voted on a resolution that condemned bigotry against “African Americans, ... Native Americans, ... and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, ... immigrants and others.” While this began as an issue over comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) regarding Israeli government policy and the role and influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in shaping US/Israel policy, this resolution branched beyond this specific issue. As a Jew who has seen a rise in antiSemitic hate crimes, including in our own district, I was pleased to see hate as a whole denounced. My belief as a Jew is that it is our obligation to stand against all hate, to stand for and with those who
are discriminated against, as we know all too well the pain of the sting of bigotry. The resolution overwhelmingly passed the House 407-23. The 23 who voted against this anti-bigotry resolution were all Republicans, and two of them are our representatives, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Peter King (R-Seaford). Both of these men ignored the diverse populations they represent and voted for bigotry. King mocked the resolution, saying it “lumped in anti-Semitism with Islamophobia, racism and bias against Asia-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, Latinos, Hindus, Sikhs and the LGBTQ community.” Why Congressman King would have an issue with denouncing hate in all forms, especially given that he represents many of these groups as his
constituents is morally troubling. Congressman Zeldin took it even further, saying that he voted against the resolution because it didn’t include people “targeted for wearing MAGA hats.” These two men, who have just had the closest election of their careers and are losing rather than gaining voter support, are using the Republican Party’s new strategy of weaponizing Jewish pain as a political prop and dividing, rather than uniting, their constituents. As a Jewish constituent of Mr. Zeldin’s, I strongly denounce this strategy and stand united with all victims of bigotry, because hate against one of us is hate against all of us. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket
A plea for Stony Brook drivers to slow down They fly through Stony Book village, reckless, irresponsible drivers, ignoring the 30 miles per hour speed limit and stop signs as though it is an irksome imperative that somehow does not apply to them. Consideration for and safety of the walker, jogger, cyclist and mother pushing her baby carriage runs a distant second in importance when measured with the goal
of drivers reaching their destination in record time. Those who conform to the speed limit are often tailgated, and pedestrians, who plead with palm down gestures for moderation, are often offered a contemptuous middle finger flick and the mouthing of a two-word profanity. Must we wait for a tragic catastrophic
incident, where we mourn and place flowers at the site of the sad event before some action is taken to assure the safety of our residents? Speed limit signs need to be more active, speed bumps should be considered, police patrols increased and egregious motorists penalized accordingly. Roger Armbruster Stony Brook

Opinion
The maddening search for the missing sock
A
reader wrote in to request a column about the search for missing items. The following is my attempt to oblige that request. Right now, someone, somewhere is looking for something. Whatever it is, a birthday card bought three months ago for that special day tomorrow, a scarf that matches an outfit D. None perfectly or a piece of paper from an of the above art store for a critBY DANIEL DUNAIEF ical presentation, will cost less in time and money to purchase anew than the time
it takes to search through the house. And yet most people don’t want to give up the search because they figure they’ll find it, save themselves the trip and prove to their spouses that they aren’t completely hopeless. The search for stuff can go from the manic “Where’s my hat, where’s my hat, where’s my hat,” to the humorous “Oh, haaat, where are you? Come to me, hat. Wouldn’t you like to share a spring day outside?” to the grittedteeth angry “I know I put the hat here and it’s not here, which means it either walked away on its own or someone picked it up and put it somewhere else.” When stuff disappears, we return to the same location over and over, searching the closet, flipping the cushions off the couch repeatedly, only to put them back and throw them off again, hoping that, somehow, the magic that caused the item to disappear will bring it back through our frantic search.
Most of us aren’t like Seinfeld or my superorganized sister-in-law, whose garage is probably better coordinated and arranged than most Home Depots. I recognize, of course, that my wife and I are on the other end of that spectrum. I’m not sure how the people with the organizational gene do it. I look at a pile of stuff and separate out everything into broad categories. There’s junk I might need outside, junk I might need inside, junk I can’t readily identify — and then I stare at it. At some point, my frustration at my inability to sort through it becomes sufficiently high that I put the pile back together and, lo and behold, the junk makes it almost impossible to find one specific item, even if what I seek is in that pile. My life is filled with figurative haystacks and my ability and my patience to search for the needles is minimal. When I’m hunting for something, I close my eyes and try to retrieve from my memory the last time I saw it. Aha! I think. It was in the living
room. No, maybe the dining room. No, no, I’m sure it was the kitchen. Sometimes, I break down and buy the stupid item again, knowing that I need a specific type of tape, a matching pair of socks or something that I can’t fake having because something like it —- a Hawaiian shirt versus a button-down Oxford shirt — just won’t do. When I return with the desired item, I take a moment to try to figure out where best to put it so I can find it again the next day or in a week, if I’m that organized. I walk slowly around the house, examining the piles of stuff that I just searched through, knowing that the piles are seeking recruits to join them. I come across an unusual and little used location, which I’m sure I’ll remember. As I find the perfect place for the redundant item, far from the all-consuming clutter, I sometimes discover that the joke’s on me: The original birthday card or missing sock await in exactly the same location.
March brings spring and college acceptance letters
P
robably the worst part of the fraud committed by parents to get their children into top colleges is the message it sends to their children. The parents are saying plainly that the children are not capable of succeeding on their own. Regardless of what they may have told their children, actions speak louder than words, and these parents have Between demonstrated that in order to sucyou and me ceed, one has to BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF lie, cheat, bribe and otherwise con one’s way to the goal. And what is the goal here? Just getting into college, not making a million-dollar deal or getting on Easy Street for life. Yes,
a college degree usually helps a person to get a better job. It also supposedly helps that person to become a more developed human. But a college graduate is merely on the threshold of the rest of his or her life, with no guarantees of any sort except the number of years one has spent in schools. There are colleges considered top tier, but they promise nothing more than a sheepskin if one passes all the requisite courses. Are the professors better in a top-tier college? One might think that. Or one might suspect that some of the big name faculty use postgraduate teaching assistants to do the daily teaching with little student contact while they do research, travel to give lectures and win grants, contributing to the university’s standing more than to that of the students’ education. A top college degree might be a good name to drop in social circles, but in a long life performance is ultimately what counts. Who gets the benefit of that name? Is it the child? Or is it the parents when relating the successes of their offspring? I remember a cartoon in one of the magazines about the time

my children were going through that nerveracking period of receiving acceptances — and rejections. In the center of the cartoon was the back of a car, with a close-up of the rearview window. And at the bottom left corner of the window, proudly displayed, was the sticker of the desired college, followed by the words, “also accepted in” with the other top-tier college stickers paraded across the width of the glass. Exactly whose victory was that touting? Why, that of the parents, of course. Many of the kids probably didn’t have a car or couldn’t even drive yet. Now let’s be honest here. Some parents have always tried to help their kids succeed, whether by throwing in a hand with the eighth-grade science project or polishing French pronunciation. And those parents who could afford it have sometimes made lavish donations to colleges in the hopes of aiding the admissions process. But those donations, if they build a new room for the library or contribute to the purchase of equipment in the lab, ultimately help many students. Most important, they are visible and not dishonest.

And whether we like it or not, people with more money sometimes use their money to their own advantage. Even the ability to pay for tutoring for the SATs divides the students into the haves and the have-nots. But that’s not illegal. The other truism is this. Whether in college or in life or just inputting on a computer, garbage in means garbage out. If a student is committed and diligent about studying in college, and there are many good colleges in this country, that student will benefit from the college experience. The opposite is also true. It doesn’t so much matter where one goes to college, but rather what one gets from the college in addition to the piece of paper documenting one’s attendance and tuition payments. My granddaughter is a high school senior this year and waiting to hear where she will go for the next four years. We all are waiting to hear with her. She has already received acceptances so she knows she will be a college student by fall. Wherever she goes, she will get there honestly and because of the exceptional person that she is. We are so proud of her.
