Middle Country Road in Centereach was decked out in red, white and blue on Sunday in honor of Memorial day. hundreds watched the vintage cars, marching bands, bagpipers, motorcycles, scouts, military and fire trucks at the hamlet’s Memorial day parade, which was organized by the Centereach veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4927. Clockwise from top, veterans wave and receive a round of applause; a young boy rides in style; and bagpipers play. See more photos on pages A10 & A11

PJ village is new travel service’s hub By Elana Glowatz
Port Jefferson hopes to become a hub for weekend travelers with the launch of a new ferry service connecting the village to New York City and New Jersey. The Seastreak ferry started running on May 22, according to a press release, in partnership with other travel companies that already link the village to Connecticut and the Hamptons. Port Jefferson will operate as the center of the new Sea Jitney service, with the high-speed Seastreak ferry running between Highlands, N.J., Manhattan’s East River ferry terminal at 35th Street and Port Jefferson; the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry running across the Long Island Sound between Connecticut and Long Island; and the Hampton Jitney bus service driving between the village and the Hamptons and other locations on the East End. The three transportation companies will coordinate service among the branches. “This powerful partnership has an extremely low impact on our infrastructure while introducing visitors to our beauti-
ful, historic village,” Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant said in a statement. According to the press release, oneway fares change based on where passengers start and finish their trip, but range from $33 to $50. Reservations are required for the trips, which focus on travel to Long Island on the weekends, with departures from New York City and Connecticut on Fridays and Saturdays and from the East End on Sundays. “Sea Jitney is a game-changer for people who travel between Connecticut and the Hamptons,” Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Steamboat Company General Manager Fred Hall said in a statement. “At two and [a] half hours from Bridgeport to Southampton, it’s shorter than going through NYC and much less stressful.” The ferry between Manhattan and Port Jefferson takes two hours, the press release said, while the bus from the village to the Hamptons takes another hour.

Baymen to town: no more restrictions By Erika karp
Local fishermen came out to Brookhaven Town Hall last Thursday to let officials know they oppose Supervisor Ed Romaine’s push to limit horseshoe crab harvesting. Earlier that week, Romaine (R) announced he and the town board would consider urging the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which regulates the industry, to ban horseshoe crab harvesting within 500 feet of town-owned property in an effort to protect the crab population and allow them a safe place to mate. Romaine moved to table the idea after hearing the baymen’s concerns. The 450-million-year-old species are used for bait and in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, as their blue blood is used to detect bacterial contamination in products. At a May 19 press conference, officials said if the crab population shrinks, other species — like those that eat
the crabs’ eggs — could be negatively affected. Stony Brook’s West Meadow Beach and Mount Sinai Harbor already have harvesting plans in place, and a ban would broaden the restriction area. However, the fishermen said the restriction was not based on any facts and the horseshoe crab population is not declining. In addition, they said further regulation would affect their livelihoods. Ron Bellucci Jr., of Sound Beach, said horseshoe crab harvesting is a vital part of his income. He added that he knows the crabs are important to the larger ecosystem, which he is a part of as well. “I’m just a man, but I’m a vital part of the food chain and I think I’m at the top,” he said. According to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, a partnership between East Coast states to protect fisheries, a 2013 assessment of the horsecrab population showed a decrease in the New York and New England

regions, while crabs have increased in the southern states — North Carolina through Florida — and remained stable from New Jersey through coastal Virginia. David Klopfenstein, of the
North Shore Baymen’s Association, urged the board to speak with the DEC before supporting a ban. He said there was a lot of misinformation regarding a very complex issue that is already be-
ing controlled. “It’s also the most well-managed fisheries that we have up and down the East Coast,” he said. The DEC did not immediately comment on the issue.

Billy Joel accepts his honorary degree at Friday’s graduation ceremony.
Joel pushes Stony Brook students to shoot high By phil CorSo
Stony Brook University marked its 55th commencement ceremony Friday and doled out degrees to 6,298 students, joining more than 155,000 of the school’s forerunners around the globe. The school also honored Long Island leaders Billy Joel and Charles B. Wang,
who received an honorary doctor of music and doctor of humane letters, respectively. State University of New York Trustee Cary Staller conferred the honorary degree to Joel, and in his acceptance speech, Joel told students to never compromise their ideals. “I hope that by now you have found
what it is you love and I hope that you have learned the skills you need to make what you love your life’s work,” he said. “I wish for you the stamina to continue that work when you encounter resistance and tough times … if you’re not doing what you love, you’re just wasting your time.” Wang, during his acceptance speech,
stated his beliefs in four points, “One — you can make a difference; two — integrity and loyalty are only words until tested; three — love life to the fullest; and four — have fun.” He also described his inspiration to create the Charles B. Wang Center, an Asian and Asian-American cultural hub at the university.

Michael Cosel is remembered as a staunch advocate for special education throughout the three Village school district and beyond.
Cosel’s efforts in the community did not in any way impact his dedication as a family man. Daughter Paige mentioned Cosel’s humor and generosity as the traits that she would remember most. “As a father and a grandfather he was playful and generous,” she said. Ronne Cosel had similar memories of the family man.
“He always had time to have dinner with us,” she said. Along with his advocacy efforts, Cosel was a custom builder of single-family homes. In his spare time he liked to travel, scuba dive, sail and ski. His wife even said she shared nearly 400 dives with her late husband over the years. “I would have probably stayed home,” she said. “He was an adventurer.”

also examine any equipment and personnel costs associated in establishing the locations, he said. According to Craigslist’s website, the majority of users are “trustworthy” and “well-intentioned” and the incidence of violent crimes is “extremely low.” Craigslist offers some guidelines when meeting someone for the first time. The site said meetings should take place in a public place as opposed to a private home; users should take precautions when selling expensive items; tell someone where they are going; and consider having someone accompany them. In addition, it encourages people to make high-value exchanges at a local police station. Suffolk Deputy Chief Kevin Fallon said on Tuesday that the department could not comment at this point, but would communicate its findings once a report is complete. Closed-circuit video could watch over a safe spot.

Protests are nothing new when looking back at American history.
Peaceful protests are an American tradition ‘I spent my boyhood behind the barbed wire fences of American internment camps and that part of my life is something that I wanted to share with more people.’
— Star trek actor and Social advocate GeorGe takei By Rich AcRitelli
Our nation has lately been rocked by protests that are springing up around the country in response to perceived unequal treatment, mostly at the hands of law enforcement. But these sorts of movements are nothing new — Americans of all colors and creeds have a history of protesting the government and bringing about positive change. Since the first European explorers and settlers made their way to this continent, Native Americans have experienced some of the greatest hardships. While there are some positive stories in American history, like that of Sioux runner Billy Mills winning the gold medal in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics for the 10,000-meter race, such stories were rare. The reservation system was built on poverty and has historically had high rates of suicide, depression, alcoholism and drug abuse. During the 1970s, major tribal groups banded together to protest for enhanced rights from the government. From briefly occupying Alcatraz Island in San Francisco to taking over the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in Washington, D.C., it was their goal to work with the
government to better the lives of Native Americans. After Japan’s Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, the fearful U.S. government removed Japanese-Americans from their daily lives on the West Coast. Loyal people who paid taxes, were productive citizens and had their children learn about the Constitution were viewed as enemy combatants. More than 110,000 citizens were forced into internment camps from California to Arkansas. From 1942 to 1946, the Japanese were imprisoned and had all of their rights stripped from them. Ironically, some of the most valiant U.S. soldiers who had served in the bloody fighting in Italy’s mountainous terrain during World War II were JapaneseAmericans. With their loved ones imprisoned at home, the soldiers were highly decorated and even wounded fighting against the Nazis. But unlike other historic groups that fought back against injustice, the Japanese Americans did not mount any movement of criticism against their internment, and there was no public or political sympathy for them. It was some 40 years later when Congress finally listened to several weeks of testimony that described the horrors
of internment. In 1988, the government formally apologized for the wrongdoing and compensated affected citizens with reparations. Once World War II ended, black soldiers who defended their country arrived home to a government that was still unwilling to fully grant equal rights to them. Some African Americans who fought with distinction in the European and Pacific theaters were lynched in their uniforms when they returned home, a report that sickened President Harry S. Truman. In 1948, he desegregated the armed forces. But racism was not over — since the end of the Civil War, black citizens had to contend with unfair treatment, such as poll taxes to keep them from voting and the resentment and violence of the Ku Klux Klan. Black Americans responded fully during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s, including with the civil disobedience under Martin Luther King Jr. As a young man, Cesar Chavez realized that massive inequalities plagued the Latino pickers in the California fields. After spending two years in the military, Chavez began his life’s mission to help the migrant workers, who had little voice in their society. His earliest efforts of aiding others were to ensure that Hispanic people had support dealing with police discrimination, violence, tax problems and immigration issues. Chavez’s social work was also geared toward gaining respect from the California government to help
the thousands of workers who strenuously labored in the fields. He extensively traveled in that state to gauge the needs of the workers. During the 1960s, his labor movement reached the impoverished vegetable and fruit pickers. Through nonviolent protests, Chavez and his followers asked Americans not to buy the products that they were harvesting in order to put pressure on the large businesses and farms to be fairer with their wages and labor practices. At various points during the movement, Chavez fasted several times to bring attention to the economic, social and political needs of the workers and citizens he represented. By the 1970s, the pickers’ movement achieved success, with many of the farmhands gaining union contracts. The United Farm Workers Union earned the right to collectively bargain. It is an American right to protest unfair treatment at the hands of the local, state and federal government. While many inequalities still exist in our society, past movements have demonstrated that peaceful protests for change do work. Change has and always will come to this nation, but it cannot be positive if won through violence against people or property.

LaValle commends Centereach High School for Recyclebank grant award On May 22, Brookhaven Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) met with students and teachers from Centereach High School to congratulate them on being awarded a grant of $1,784.28 from Recyclebank toward their sustainable project called Litter Mates. Led by educator Natalie Fitterman, the program is one that encourages recycling
in the school and community while earning funds to help reduce the unwanted animal population in Brookhaven. “I commend Centereach High School for making a commitment to protect the environment by recycling and for helping control the cat and dog population as well,” LaValle said. “I am always impressed by how well youngsters can join together for a
cause if they put their minds to it.” This service learning program, while increasing sustainability in Brookhaven, will be sustainable itself, as it is designed to be carried on year after year. It will focus on how to create a culture of conservation, educate the students and community on the benefits of recycling, and will build partnerships with
the local community for a healthier and safer environment and school. The bottles and cans collected in the recycling program will be turned in for deposit redemption and that money will be used to get homeless animals spayed/neutered. Litter Mates will prepare students to understand and act on current and future environmental challenges.

squad. This time around, the stakes were that much higher, as Middle Country was just one goal away from winning the school’s first Suffolk County title with minutes left in regulation. “They’re a great group of kids,” Dolson By Desirée Keegan said of her team. “I know they wouldn’t quit on us, and they fought until the This year’s Class A playoff game bitter end.” West Islip dominated the draw early looked a lot like last season’s semifinal matchup, as the Middle Country girls’ and rattled off three unanswered goals lacrosse team and West Islip remained in the first three minutes of play before tied nearing the end of regulation. How- Middle Country won its first draw, and ever, this time the game went into over- converted that possession into points. With 21:51 remaining, time, but the result was still senior midfielder and atthe same: West Islip came ‘We knew what tack Nikki Ortega dumped out on top. “It’s a little bittersweet we had to do, and the ball in front off an assist now that the seniors are unfortunately we from sophomore midfielder Rachel Masullo, but the Ligone and to end it like this,” came up a little ons won the next possession Middle Country head coach and grabbed an offensive Lindsay Dolson said. “We bit short.’ knew what we had to do, — lindsay dolson rebound for a goal and a 4-1 advantage. and unfortunately we came West Islip tacked on another goal beup a little bit short. They were the better fore sophomore midfielder Jamie Ortega team today.” Last season, the Mad Dogs went 12-6 scored to cut the deficit, 5-2. Rachel Masullo’s twin sister Amanda, overall with a 10-4 mark in Division I, and lost to the Lions, 12-11, with one also a sophomore midfielder, scored next second left in regulation.

team within one, 5-4. With 7:12 remaining in the first half, Nikki Ortega passed the ball from the left goalside to sophomore attack Ava Barry, whose goal tied the game, 5-5. Two minutes later, West Islip broke the tie, and the teams traded goals once more, with Nikki Ortega tallying her hat trick goal off a free position shot to tie the game. But, West Islip maintained the advantage, 7-6, heading into the halftime break. Jamie Ortega scored two goals in the
second half, while Rachel Masullo added another off an assist from Barry to tie the game 9-9 with 7:17 left to play, but neither team was able to score from there, forcing two three-minute overtime periods with no sudden-death victory. Senior midfielder Christine Gironda won the first draw in overtime, which led to Jamie Ortega’s fourth goal of the game off another assist by Barry to give the Mad Dogs their first and only lead of the game. With 20.8 seconds left in the first overtime session, West Islip scored to tie it up 10-10, and with 2:18 left in the second three-minute span, scored again, to take the lead, which it preserved despite several Middle Country attempts at an equalizer. While the team looses six seniors to graduation — with Nikki Ortega, Gironda, and goalkeeper Ashley Miller being impactful players on the three sections of the field — the Mad Dogs will return a significant amount of its goal-scorers next season. They will look to continue the progression in the hopes of taking its postseason game another step further and claim the county title. “It’s been great,” Dolson said of working with the departing seniors. “They work hard and they gave it everything that they’ve got. They’ll be tough to replace next year, but I’m positive that we’re going to come back the same strong Middle Country team.”

OPINION

A disappointing turnout TO THE EDITOR: Disappointments follow any election, be it a national election, a local one, and even a school budget and trustee election, as occurred across New York State on May 19. The candidate I thought would best serve the Rocky Point school district did not win. And although I was very disappointed about that and I thank her for her efforts, it is not my greatest disappointment. In my district, 1,025 residents took the time to vote and tell the board of education where they stand: 788 voted “yes” on the budget and 237 voted “no.” And these same voters cast their votes for the trustees. Now I do not know the total
number of eligible voters in my district. I am sure it is a lot higher than 1,025. Each year I am always flabbergasted that so few people turn out. School board budgets are the only direct tax that we get to vote on. Yet there is so much apathy that those of you who did not vote have given the power to those of us who did. And 1,025 voters decided how to spend almost $78 million of your money. If in this coming year you find yourself burdened by your property taxes and are looking for whom to blame, look in the mirror!

EDITORIAL
Safe bet for safe spots Thanks to legislation introduced by Suffolk County Legislator Tom Muratore (R-Ronkonkoma), the county could be the next municipality in the nation to create safe spots — public locations where residents can exchange goods and conduct private sales. Similar safe havens have been created throughout the United States — in Georgia, Missouri and Connecticut, for example — in response to crimes committed against people
using websites like Craigslist to buy and sell goods. While the majority of Craigslist transactions occur without incident, there is always the chance of someone taking advantage of the situation, whether it be robbing the other person in the transaction or physically harming them in some way. We applaud Muratore, a former Suffolk County police officer, for looking into this simple solution to deter unscrupulous individuals from harming others.
But if the county does move forward with this idea, we hope the locations will be in active places; be monitored by surveillance; be heavily signed, notifying visitors that it is a safe spot and is being monitored; and provide residents with safety tips for engaging in such exchanges in an effort to be even more proactive than reactive. As Muratore said, “Technology is changing the way people are doing business,” and we have to change with it.

Laughing off a coach’s catchphrase malaise
D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
A
boys’ baseball team I coached recently lost a game in such an excruciating fashion that I couldn’t rely on all the standby coach catchphrases. “We’ll get ’em next time,” would fall flat, especially when we had them for the taking. We were up by two runs and were in complete control of the game
until the final outs. “Hey, this one’s on me.” That’s nice and can work in deflecting any possible blame, but the kids generally don’t buy into it. If they believe it, it also sets a dangerous precedent for future losses. “Hey, coach,” they might ask at the end of another game. “This one’s clearly not on you, right? Isn’t it Johnny’s fault?” Those final three outs never happened. What made the game even more difficult to swallow was that the other team didn’t put a single ball in play in their final at bat. Four walks, a hit batter and a few wild pitches later, we were done. We trudged to left field for the postgame analysis and pep talk. “Hey,” I said. “Look, uh, this is one game, right?” I could see it in their eyes: “Weak and feeble, coach. You’re going to have to do better than that.” “You know, we did a lot right this game.”
“Who cares,” their sullen, downcast eyes indicated. “We lost.” “OK, well, we can’t win them all.” I didn’t even need to look at them to know what they were thinking. I was thinking it, too, as the words came dribbling out of my mouth. “Seriously? You’re going with that?” “Boys, I know you all did your best.” Their eyes moved to their parents, as if they were saying telepathically: “Get me out of here, I want to go home.” “Hey,” I said, a small smirk on my face. “Guys, who saw Joey’s slide at second today? Was that the ugliest thing you’ve ever seen?” Joey had wandered too far from second and would have been out if the pitcher had thrown the ball to the second baseman. When the second baseman had to move a few feet from the base, Joey dove back
head first and landed flat on his chest, a yard short of the base. He crawled on his hands and knees across the dirt to the base, arriving just in time to beat the second baseman’s tag. “That was funny,” several of them seemed to say. Joey, you see, is a bit sensitive so that comment could have been dangerous. Even he, however, offered a small smile. It was an absurd moment to savor. And, fortunately for us, he was safe, so laughing about it was probably safe. In that final, fateful, painful inning, the first pitcher walked two and hit a batter, sending the tying run to second and the winning run to first. I brought in a tall relief pitcher who promptly walked another two batters. A wild pitch later, the game was over. “Fred, do you know why I put you in there at the end of the game?” I asked. “Because you believed in me?” he offered hopefully.
Hanging on to all your parts
between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

M
y mother adamantly refused to let the pediatrician remove my tonsils several decades ago. She certainly respected his expertise, having chosen him carefully after an extended search when she knew she was pregnant. But she was not going to agree with his recommended course of action despite my chronic tonsillitis. “Do you have clinical evidence that children who have had their tonsils removed get sick less often?” she demanded of
him. “No,” he responded slowly, “only anecdotal evidence. You know the tonsils have no known function and are not necessary, and hers are very large.” “Hmmph,” was my mother’s rejoinder, “not known to you doctors.” So, as you might expect, I grew up with my tonsils and still have them to this day. They are large enough to inspire each new physician who looks in my throat to exclaim over both their size and their existence in a member of my generation, but whatever role they may play in the human body, they are still playing in mine. My mother and my father had two strongly-held beliefs: First that there were no superfluous parts to the miraculous human body and, second, that optional surgery was not an option. I am sure they were encouraged in those beliefs by the death of an only child of dear friends during an optional tonsillectomy. Do I know if they were right? All I can offer is that history shows the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. That is why I felt a
burst of glee when I came across a recent article in The New York Times Science section headlined, “Saving the Appendix.” They stopped removing tonsils as simply a matter of course many years ago, but here was further affirmation of the parental dicta. “Five small studies from Europe, involving a total of 1000 patients, indicate that antibiotics can cure some patients with appendicitis; about 70 percent of those who took the pills did not require surgery,” according to Gina Kolata, author of the article. As well, patients who had an appendectomy after first trying antibiotics did not face any more complications than those who went directly to surgery. This, of course, flies in the face of traditional exhortations about rushing to remove the inflamed appendix before it bursts, potentially with dangerous results. While these studies suggest that surgery can be avoided altogether in treating appendicitis, a large-scale clinical trial must be held for verification — and one is in the planning. When

patients who had already had an appendectomy were asked if they would have been willing to try antibiotics first, nearly threequarters responded “yes.” The appendix is “a tiny, wormshaped tube that hangs off the right side of the colon,” Kolata said, and no one knows what it does or why it can suddenly act up. Nor does anyone know why it also can get better on its own, even without antibiotics. And antibiotics actually have been used in the past to treat an inflamed appendix. According to The Times, during the Cold War in the 1950s, when American sailors spent at least six months on nuclear submarines that were prohibited from surfacing, patients with appendicitis were given antibiotics and no deaths or complications were reported. To use antibiotics would, of course, eliminate the need for surgery and hospitalization where appendicitis is diagnosed, which would be both cheaper and safer. But even if it revolutionized traditional treatment, using antibiotics would not immediately answer LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz
‘OK, well, we can’t win them all.’ “Well, sure, but the real reason is that you’re much taller than me.” Again, I was reaching for the absurd. No one looked at their parents. “Yeah, you see, it’s not right for a 12-year-old boy to be taller than his coach. I needed to cut you down to size.” The grin spread quickly across his face, as well as those of the other four boys who look down on me. No, it wasn’t in the playbook, but it worked.

With better knowledge, antibiotics as an option to surgery. key questions: Would the appendicitis recur? If so, how often? How much antibiotics would be required? How would the drug best be administered? Presently, doctors don’t usually tell their patients about the antibiotics option, citing the above unanswered questions as a reason. Also we know and, for the most part, approve that medicine is a highly conservative profession, avoiding the trendy but insufficiently tested. It is hard “to go away from a 30-minute operation that cures them for the rest of their lives,” said Dr. Giana Davidson, a University of Washington general surgeon quoted in the article. But patients are finding out on their own and some ask for this nonsurgical alternative, thanks in part to information gleaned from the Internet.
