Unitarian Universalists lobby for equality

The congregation of the Uni-tarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook took a stand in fa-vor of equality the day before the country’s Independence Day.

They held a ceremony to cel-ebrate the placement of a banner below the fellowship’s identifying sign at its entrance on Nicolls Road.

“Unveiling the Black Lives Matter banner on the Fourth

of July weekend,” said Barbara Coley, co-chair of the congrega-tion’s Racial Concerns commit-tee, “reminds us that one reason we cherish our country is that we have the freedom to call attention to the struggle for justice for all.”

The idea for the banner origi-nated with fellowship member Laura Lesch.

She attended a Unitarian Uni-versalist congregation where a similar banner was displayed

while visiting Florida in January. She took a photo and showed it to Coley upon her return. The photo spurred congregants to do more than just talk about the topic.

Coley presented a proposal to the board of trustees that UUFSB display a Black Lives Matter banner.

“The board wanted to make sure that the congregation learned about the BLM move-ment,” said Coley, “and had

opportunities to express their support and/or concerns about displaying such a banner at a predominantly Euro-American house of worship.”

The question the Rev. Margie Allen posed to the congregation was: “Does our congregation consider itself willing to display the Black Lives Matter banner?”

“We stand with African Ameri-can citizens in support of the

Candidates separated by 29 votes still waitingBy Alex Petroski

Waiting is the hardest part.The Democratic primary to decide who

will face freshman U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) in the race for the 1st Congressio-nal District seat in November was June 28, but as of print time on Wednesday, Zeldin’s opponent was still a mystery.

The former town supervisor in South-ampton Anna Throne-Holst led Setauket native and former prosecutor and venture capitalist David Calone by just 29 votes when the dust settled on election night. More than a week later, it remained un-clear who would come out on top.

The Suffolk County Board of Elections will begin counting the 1,794 absentee ballots cast on Thursday, though a depart-ment employee said that process might take several days. The absentee ballots will be counted by a bipartisan team of depart-ment employees in addition to representa-tives from both campaigns at the Board of Elections office in Yaphank.

In emailed statements from their cam-paigns, both candidates expressed confi-dence about what the tally will hold after all the votes are counted and thanked their

supporters for their hard work to date.“I’m proud to be in the lead after elec-

tion night, and am most especially proud of the positive campaign we ran,” Throne-Holst said through a press representative. “I owe a heartfelt debt of gratitude to our thousands of supporters and volunteers, who are invaluable partners in getting our message to voters.”

Calone said he has high hopes thanks to the nearly nonexistent deficit.

“Given that there are about 1,800 ab-sentee ballots that haven’t been counted — roughly 15 percent of the overall vote — no one knows who will end up on top until we count every vote,” Calone said in a state-ment. “More than anything, I’m grateful to Democrats around the district who volun-teered to help my campaign.”

Neither candidate hesitated to turn their sites toward Zeldin.

“I expect to prevail once every vote is counted and I look forward to continuing our campaign to provide a strong contrast to Congressman Lee Zeldin, who is one of Donald Trump’s greatest advocates in Washington,” Calone said.

Throne-Holst also invoked presumptive Republican presidential nominee and busi-

nessman Donald Trump in referring to Zeldin.“I look forward to working with Demo-

crats throughout the district as we focus on our common goal of defeating Lee Zeldin,” she said. “We all know Lee Zeldin is not look-ing forward to going up against my record, and voters will reject not only his extremist views and votes, but also his enthusiastic em-brace of Donald Trump, who is dangerous for both Long Island and the country.”

At the end of the night on June 28, unoffi-cial results showed Throne-Holst with 5,446 votes — 50.09 percent of the vote — and Calone with 5,417 votes — 49.82 percent.

Zeldin unseated six-term former U.S. Rep. Tim Bishop (D) by a wide margin back in 2014, with a final vote total of 54 percent to 45 percent.

Check back next week for an update and results, should the counting be complete.

Former councilwoman Regina Seltzer dies

By Donna newman

Former Brookhaven Town councilwom-an and environmental activist Regina “Reg-gie” Seltzer “died overlooking the gardens she ardently tended and the Great South Bay, two of her favorite places,” read a death notice in the New York Times July 1.

She died at her Bellport home June 29 at the age of 86.

Seltzer is survived by her son Eric, his wife Nealle and three granddaughters: Ve-ronica, Jean and Bryn.

Reggie Seltzer left behind a legacy of good works.

In 1979, Seltzer was named Woman of the Year in Environment by this newspaper.

At that time, she was recognized by Cathy McKeen, who wrote: “Since she won a seat on Brookhaven’s Town Board four years ago Regina Seltzer has been an advo-cate of protecting the environment.”

McKeen went on to list her many ac-complishments, among them the creation of the town’s Department of Environmen-tal Protection, advocating zoning reform to address haphazard planning and growth and a new sanitary code.

Seltzer was born to Jewish parents in Poland in 1929. Three years later, seeing the injustice and brutality inflicted upon Jews in their town — and fearing what would follow — her parents left Poland, bound for Palestine. In 1937, they followed family and immigrated to New York.

As an adult, Seltzer first worked as a school teacher and librarian, according to Brookhaven Town Supervisor Edward Ro-maine (R), who eulogized her at the start of the June 30 town board meeting.

She was a councilwoman and member of the town’s planning board. She had re-turned to school to earn a law degree in her 50s and worked on many environmen-tal issues, often pro bono. She was a true civic leader, Romaine said.

“[Reggie] made a huge difference in the Town of Brookhaven,” said Romaine. “She was brighter than light, easy to work

with, principled, honest, straightforward — someone that we’ll all miss in this town government. … I’ve ordered flags at Town Hall to fly at half mast in her honor.”

Friends and colleagues also expressed their grief at the board meeting. Sherry Binnington, of Bellport, met Seltzer in the 1960s, when they became neighbors.

“Reggie Seltzer was a genuine person who had a conscience and was concerned about other people,” Binnington said dur-ing the public participation part of the meeting. “She believed that you should try to do everything you can when you see things that are not right.”

Another activist and friend, MaryAnn Johnston, had this to say, “When I first started working as an activist, Reggie was a source of constant encouragement and inspiration.

“She taught me how to do this work … with an uplifted heart. And to celebrate the victories — that they’d be few and far be-tween, but that when you did the job well, they would matter and they would last. It would be what you left behind.”

SC Legislature hosts seminar for small businessesBy SuSan RiSoli

Industry professionals and economic development experts gathered at Suffolk County Community College’s Selden cam-pus on June 24 to talk about the region’s changing business climate. “Charting the Course,” was sponsored by the NYS Small Business Development Center.

New downtowns and upgraded transpor-tation are unfolding, said Suffolk County ex-ecutive Steve Bellone (D). The first phase of Wyandanch’s incarnation as “the largest new transportation-centered hub on Long Island” is nearing completion, Bellone said, and the housing phase of the Ronkonkoma hub is about to begin. He said the projects differ from Patchogue’s much-touted revitaliza-tion because that village already had one of the area’s “existing downtowns that suffered post-World War II … and now are attractive to young people.”

But in Wyandanch and Ronkonkoma, Bel-lone said, downtowns are being created from scratch by “tearing down dilapidated indus-trial areas.”

The county plans to link the Long Is-land Rail Road’s three lines to create “real intra-Island commuting,” Bellone said. And he said ride services such as Uber, Lyft, and driverless cars will come to this area.

Despite changes on the horizon, Bellone

said, the region still has challenges to cor-rect. One is a decentralized government structure that’s “hyperlocally focused.”

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we have a lot of layers and levels of govern-ment here on Long Island,” Bellone said. The structure makes it easy to handle lo-cal matters but gets in the way of regional growth, he said.

Although the “Brexit” vote was not of-ficially on the agenda, Great Britain’s deci-sion to leave the European Union was felt all the way to Selden.

“I just got a text that the Dow [Jones Industrial Average] fell 400 points,” said Jon Cooper, president of Spectronics Cor-poration, a Long Island manufacturer of ultraviolet lighting equipment. The former Suffolk County legislator said that even though only a few hours had passed since the vote, “it’s already had a tremendously adverse effect” on American companies that do overseas business. Cooper said he was rethinking preliminary plans to part-ner with international distributors. And if other countries leave the EU, he said, the resulting array of export regulations and currencies will make things harder for lo-cal companies.

Many businesspeople in the audience expressed concern about young people leaving Long Island and about small busi-

nesses closing up shop. “I think I have a positive attitude, compared to some of the people here,” said Anne Shybunko-Moore, President of GSE Dynamics Inc., an engi-neering and manufacturing company that makes military mechanical and structural components. Shybunko-Moore also is chairwoman of the Manufacturing Con-sortium of Long Island, a network of Long Island companies in the manufacturing in-dustry. She invited Long Island leaders to

“change the message” by talking publicly about the successes of Long Island compa-nies, and recommended asking companies to talk about their growth.

“There’s equipment being purchased. With that equipment, there are new capa-bilities and new people being hired,” she pointed out. If every company in the MCLI group hires one person, Shybunko-Moore said, “That’s a bigger story than one com-pany laying off 500 people.”

Discussion focuses on LI’s changing business climate

Detectives from the Suffolk County Po-lice Major Case Unit are seeking the pub-lic’s help in identifying two men who in two separate incidents entered TD Bank on Ne-sconset Highway in Port Jefferson Station in a four-day span and handed a teller a note demanding cash.

The first suspect entered the bank at about 2:15 p.m. June 30. He is described as a white male in his 30s, and is about six feet tall with a thin build, brown hair and a goatee, according to police. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a long-sleeve flannel shirt, blue jeans, dark colored shoes, a baseball hat and sunglasses.

Police said the teller complied with the demand and the man fled southbound through the parking lot toward Broadway,

east of Old Town Road. The second incident occurred at about

11:15 a.m. Sunday. The second suspect followed a similar pattern. He entered the bank, handed a teller a note demanding cash and fled on foot after his demands were met, according to police. He is de-scribed as white, in his late 30s, about five feet, eight inches tall and missing multiple front teeth. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a gray T-shirt, blue jeans, work boots, a blue New York Yankees hat and wire-rimmed glasses, police said.

The bank is located a few hundred feet from Christ Church United Methodist of Port Jefferson Station.

Anyone with information about the sus-pects is asked to call 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will remain confidential.

Black Lives Matter movement,” Allen said. “And we want the surrounding com-

munity to know that we support this 21st century civil rights movement – as does the Unitarian Universalist Association.”

Members and friends were invited to express their opinions at two forums.

One concern voiced was a mistaken notion that the BLM movement is anti-police. Another, that it might invite van-dalism, was deemed valid.

“But when banners were defaced or destroyed in other places, congregations replaced them and used the attacks on banners as teachable moments,” said Coley, “by inviting community members to participate in discussions where they learned the history, purpose and goals of the movement.”

The banner was approved by a large majority – 92 percent of the congrega-tion – June 1.

The design includes the Unitarian Universalist Association’s standing on the side of love symbol as well as the words ‘Black Lives Matter.’

This tangible expression of support is in keeping with a long history within the Unitarian Universalist tradition of work-ing to advance civil rights as individuals and as congregations.

She attended Swarthmore Col-lege in Swarth-more, Pa., and graduated from New England Con-servatory of Music in Boston in 1940 with a bachelor of music in piano and musicology. She

married John Richard Stehn (1909-1995) on June 25, 1941. She lived in Alton, Ill.; New Haven, Conn.; Schenectady; Port Jef-ferson; Aransas Pass, Texas; and Blooming-ton, Ill.

On Tuesday, July 5, following an unusu-ally tense and complicated election, the dust seems to have finally settled within the Village Hall of Poquott.

With a newly elected member and all that political turmoil behind them, the mayor and board of trustees can now get things done.

Incumbent Mayor Dolores “Dee” Par-rish’s re-election came in the form of 239 write-in votes, after opponent Barbara Donovan launched a heated lawsuit to re-move her name from the ballot.

After her swearing in, Parrish led a very brief meeting that began with Three Village resident, and fellow write-in candidate, John Mastauskas being sworn in as a trustee.

Following the meeting, Mastauskas said that he’s proud and excited to stand by Parrish. Together, their main focus for the future will be the building of the commu-nity dock, which has been in high demand by the beach community’s residents, but ignored by past administrations,

Another issue to be dealt with is mak-ing sure that speed limits on the roads are controlled, by way of heightened resident awareness and enforcement.

“That’s been a big issue, for me especial-ly,” Mastauskas said. “I watch people flying up and down my street daily. We’ve got kids playing, A lot of our driveways are on hills. Kids go chasing a ball down to the street.

“All it takes is one person driving a little bit too fast, looking at their phone, changing

their radio station, and then that’s it. Then we got a big problem on our hands. We want to try to eliminate that [altogether].”

With a lot left to be done, Parrish is hope-ful. “[Mastauskas] is a new energy in the Village,” she said. “Now it’s time to move forward and do what the residents want, and keep doing all the good things that we’ve accomplished the past two years.”

Step back in time with historians at West Meadow Beach By Beverly C. Tyler

From Native American hunter-gather-ers through Colonial times, West Meadow Beach, West Meadow Creek and the adja-cent tidal wetlands were a valuable resource.

On Saturday, July 16, an historic walk will be conducted by Barbara Russell, his-torian, Town of Brookhaven, and Beverly Tyler, historian, Three Village Historical Society. The walk, along Trustees Road from the pavilion at West Meadow Beach to the Gamecock Cottage, is sponsored by the Town of Brookhaven and cosponsored by the Three Village Historical Society.

Come and explore the area that sus-tained Native Americans and provided needed materials for settlers from the Co-lonial period to the present day. The walk is free and open to the public. No pre-regis-tration required, however be on time as the walk will commence at 10:30 a.m. sharp. An exhibit in the Gamecock Cottage at the end of the walk will include artifacts gath-ered from the West Meadow Creek area.

We don’t know all the details about life on Long Island before the Europeans came because the people living here did not leave us a written or photographic record of their lives.

Archaeological excavations have given us most of the details of how people lived

in this area as early as 5,000 years ago. One of the most famous sites in New York State was a nearby shell midden named The Stony Brook Site, excavated by State Archaeologist William Ritchie in 1955.

From archaeological digs by Ritchie and others, we know that, between 5,000 and 3,000 years ago, the native people were hunters and gatherers, dependent upon hunting local animals and gathering plants, stones, and clay for food, shelter, tools, clothes, and medicines.

The Fischetti Site, a prehistoric Indian site for manufacturing tools and spear points, was discovered during a cultural resource investigation of a proposed resi-dential development in November 1980. Salvage excavations continued through October 1981.

The site, on the east side of West Meadow Creek, opposite the horse show grounds, was occupied by Algonquin Indi-ans about 3,000 years ago. We know they used this location then because of the type of arrow and spear points and blades re-covered. The major activity here, on the edge of Stony Brook creek, was making stone tools. We know this by the large quantities of stone flakes and roughed-out stones.

The almost total absence of food re-mains at the site shows that this was not the location of a village. However, a village

site, The Stony Brook Site, did exist about 800 yards to the south, along what is now known as Aunt Amy’s Creek, during the same time period.

For thousands of years the Indians used natural resources, wood, stone, and animals, to make their housing, tools, and clothing. About 3,000 years ago, their way of life changed with the introduction of three things: pottery, the bow and arrow, and horticulture (farming). Like the earlier

Indians, the Woodland Indians continued to rely on natural resources.

The artifacts taken from The Fischetti Site are part of the collection of the Three Village Historical Society. Artifacts from the Ritchie site are a part of the collection of the New York State Museum.

Beverly Tyler is the Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the Three Village Historical Society.

HISTORY CLOSE AT HAND

By viCToriA eSPiNozA

The plan to reduce the use of plastic bags in Suffolk County has been modified with a 5 cent tax on plastic bags replacing an original proposal for an all-out ban.

County Legislator William “Doc” Spen-cer (D-Centerport) updated a bill he sub-mitted in March to reduce the use of plastic bags in retail sales after he saw how other areas found success with a small tax.

“My focus all along has been to im-prove the environment and reduce waste,” Spencer said in an email. “The decision to change course involved multiple factors, most importantly evidence from various municipalities with similar legislation that has proven to be effective.”

The new version would charge 5 cents per bag used by any customer, and all fees collected would be retained by the store. There would be no fee for customers who bring in their own bags and a store cannot discourage them from doing so, the law proposed.

A spokeswoman from Spencer’s office said the legislator looked to Washington, D.C., as an example of a successful imple-mentation of a 5 cent fee.

The Anacostia River Clean Up and Pro-tection Act went into effect in January 2010, and it requires all businesses that sell food or alcohol to charge a nickel for each disposable paper or plastic carryout bag. The bill was the first of its kind in the United States, and in a 2013 study of the law, researchers found that both residents

and businesses reported a significant re-duction in disposable-bag use and a major-ity of residents and businesses supported the bag fee. In addition, both residents and businesses said they saw fewer plastic bags littering the area.

The study found that D.C. residents estimated a 60 percent decrease in house-

hold bag use, moving from 10 disposable bags per week before the law to four bags per week in 2013. Moreover, 79 percent of residents reported carrying reusable bags when shopping and 74 percent of business-es saw an increase in customers bringing their own bags. And, perhaps most impor-tant for residents who are still wary of the

tax, the study reported only 8 percent of businesses and 16 percent of residents felt bothered by the law.

Spencer said this law is an important step in protecting the environment.

“This is an opportunity to secure a win for the environment because it will form a consensus of necessary support among the legislature and key stakeholders,” he said.

The Citizens Campaign for the Envi-ronment said there is more plastic in the oceans than plankton, with 46,000 pieces of plastic in every square mile. Many ma-rine animals are choked and strangled by these bags, or die consuming them. The CCE said plastic pollution negatively im-pacts 267 species of marine life.

Spencer said he intends to keep a close look on the progression of the bill, and that if a tax doesn’t reduce the use of plas-tic bags enough, he will reconsider an out-right ban.

“We are moving in a positive direction, and I intend to look closely at bag usage — before and after implementation — to ensure it’s effective,” he said. “If it is not having a significant impact, I have every in-tention of working to strengthen the policy including revisiting the ban.”

Spencer looks at tax on plastic bags for LI shoppersCounty legislator’s original bill calling for a ban on plastic bags has been revised to a 5 cent tax on every plastic bag a consumer uses at a store.

Each year, the hall of fame presents the award to the top male and female high school student-athletes in Suffolk County. The award is given in memory of Guy “Butch” Dellecave, a former guid-

ance counselor, teacher and coach in the Connetquot school district and one of the founders of the hall of fame.

Nominees are chosen on the basis of outstanding athletic ability as well as hav-ing displayed exceptional character and integrity. In addition to this honor, each award recipient is provided with a $1,000 scholarship.

At the Division II level, Christian Grilli, Noelle Pirraglia, Alex Prince and Brandon Wilson agreed to continue their student-athlete journeys.

At the Division III level, Alexander Calaci, Nicholas Cervone, Gianna Di-Pasquale, Zachary Flynn, Sarah Hyland, Justin Iannotto, Kayla Kelly, Theodore Lane, Thomas Lorusso, Frank Merlino, Alex Metzler, Patrick Morelli, Meghan Pembroke, Holly Regan, Natalie Rodgers, Heidi Scarth, Sean Thornton and Dean Zulkofske each signed letters of intent.

In total, 10 students committed to play lacrosse at the collegiate level, five each will continue to play soccer and baseball, with three each in track and field, football and volleyball.

Two students respectively committed to softball, golf, fencing, gymnastics, swim-ming and wrestling, while one each will compete in basketball, diving, acrobatics and tumbling, competitive cheerleading and field hockey.

Poquott native comments on recent election

Get into the mix. Participate in our reader forums @ www.tbrnewsmedia.com

Dear Residents of Poquott Village,

Earlier today there was a large sign by the corner of Van Brunt Manor Road and White Pine Lane. It was covered in glitter and cheap stick-on stars, but what was written on it was what prompted me to write this letter.

“Bring peace back to Poquott! Vote So-and-So for Mayor!”

Now, I have no problem with the candidates up for election. I barely know either of them and, quite frankly, I don’t mind if that fact stays that way. Howev-er, I do have a problem with false statements.

Poquott, we are already

at peace.We don’t live in fear of

losing our lives every day.Our houses and streets

are incredibly safe. When was the last time you heard that someone had been snatched up? Harassed? Beaten up? Really think about that.

I have never, in all my years living here, had to call the police because someone was trying to break into my home, burglarize me, or murder my family and me. Nor have I ever had to call them for my neighbors.

The only thing that I do fear are the allegations of fraud and corruption I’m hearing about. Someone

wrote a letter to our local paper under the name of someone else in the village. As a writer myself, I take that very seriously. It was a very childish act and I can’t believe someone in my vil-lage would stoop so low. That person needs to step up and own up for what they did.

However, I refuse to be-lieve that we are in danger.

Poquott is, and has always been, a very safe place.

Do not let the fighting and fear tactics of this elec-tion tell you otherwise.

I am very disappointed in all of you.

Valerie StubberfieldPoquott

‘I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives.’Abraham Lincoln said: “I like

to see a man proud of the place in which he lives.”

These words have been ig-nored by Brookhaven Town and

residents and merchants of Stony Brook. For about a month, thirty feet of strewn garbage has laid on Christian Avenue in front of residence #262, ignored and un-

attended. Whom do we see about this? Attention must be paid!

Letter from the editor: ‘Poquott: A village at war’In the June 16 issue of

The Village Times Herald, the Letters to the Editor page featured one letter, “Poquott: a village at war” that the newspaper has since learned was sent un-der a potentially false name.

Readers have notified the newspaper that the letter writers, Felicity and Arthur

C. Terrier, may have been falsely reported, and this newspaper now disavows the letter.

It appears there are dirty tricks afoot as the Village of Poquott prepares for the end of what has been a conten-tious election cycle, where a once long-serving mayor challenges a successor who

is newer to the position.The Letter to the Editor

page is this newspaper’s resource to the community to have their voices heard, and we do not support or endorse it being taken ad-vantage of with intent to de-ceive or distort. Therefore, once again, we disavow and rescind the letter.

We’re proud to be AmericansDo you ever stop and think what the Fourth of July is

really all about?While we were enjoying our BBQs, lounging at the

beach, sipping on a drink or lighting fireworks this Inde-pendence Day, we realized the meaning of this holiday, like many others, can be forgotten when we’re busy trying to have a good time.

Our nation’s founders fought for our freedom.Following the American Revolution, the 13 American

colonies regarded themselves as a new nation, and with that, came a string of unalienable rights that we now mark with patriotic displays on July 4, to symbolize our pride and celebration of this freedom.

Reflecting on what it means, and why we’re honored to live in this country, several things came to mind.

Freedom of speech is something that Americans can take for granted. The ability to express opinions, either as an individual or as part of the media, is essential to the backbone of our country.

Two in our editorial department have backgrounds that extend beyond our borders.

One, a first-generation American, was raised with a particular appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy. Both her parents emigrated from Eastern Europe as children in the 1920s and were raised in New York. They faced challenges including learning a new language and adapting to Ameri-can ways, but in America there was no tsar, conscripting male heads of households or, in retrospect, no dictator on the rise who would eventually annihilate most of the Jews left behind in Eastern Europe. The American Dream became a reality for her parents.

Another editorial staffer’s father moved to this country from Colombia when he was in his 20s. Hearing about his background, she loves that he was able to prosper in this country — not just survive — but pursue his dream job of teaching and find a career where he is still excited to go to work and see his students 30 years later. As the daughter of an immigrant, she’s proud to be a part of the country that welcomed her dad and let him follow his dream.

While we look back on what we were founded on, and why this country is unique in the freedoms it gives us, we can also look ahead, to what we want it to be. We can be thankful for what we have, and for what America stands for, but also strive to continue to make this country an even better place than it was when we became a new na-tion on Independence Day.

Chances are the day of this pub-lication, July 7, i.e., 7/7, is your lucky day. Why? Many people

believe seven brings them luck, whether it’s because of the seven

days of the week, seven colors in the rainbow, seven continents or even the “7” Mickey Mantle wore on his back.

If you be-lieve in lucky numbers, seven might give you the kind of con-fidence you need to say exactly the right thing in a job inter-view, to seek a date with a long-

term love interest, or to swing at a fastball at just the right moment, sending the ball deep into the night.

Practically speaking, all those peo-ple who share that lucky No. 7 can’t

be winners at the same time. What if a pitcher in a tight game, who is the seventh child in a family of seven and might have been born at 7:07, is pitching to a hitter, who grew up on 77 Main Street and who always bats seventh? Who would win?

Taking a step back from the “7” sports quagmire, what is it about numbers that can make or break our confidence, that can inspire or de-flate us? Even for those indifferent to theorems and patterns, numbers can be beautiful and comforting. They can create order in a chaotic world, offering support and structure in their patterns and predictability.

There’s the alternating odds and evens. That’s a pattern that’s like looking at a checkerboard, with its alternating tiles. According to some news reports, zero presents a prob-lem for some people because they are not sure whether it is odd or even and most odd/even discussions begin with “1” while evens begin with “2.” (Zero is an even number under the standard mathematical definition.)

Then there are those rules of numbers that can help in the prime versus non-prime consideration. If you’re looking at an odd number, how do you know whether it’s divis-ible by three? You add up the digits in the number and see if the sum is divisible by three. Take, for example, 4,197. The sum of four, one, nine and seven is 21, which means it’s divisible by three.

But then there are those well-known irrational numbers that provide memory challenges for schools. Some schools, on March 14 each year, hold a contest about the famous constant, pi, which is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Students commit as many digits of pi as they can to memory. Most people recall the 3.14 part of pi, which is why those com-petitions are held on March 14, but some push themselves to memorize more than a hundred digits.

Then there are those numbers that signal the beginning or the end of something. The famous countdown to a rocket launch that

carries with it the hope of finding something new, of taking humans somewhere we’ve never gone, or of exploring or seeing the Earth from a different perspective. Parents know the famous mantra, “I’m going to count to three,” before a potential liftoff of another kind.

For the sports fanatics out there, numbers are the game within a game. For example:

• How fast did he throw that pitch?

• How many goals did he score in the World Cup?

• How great was this player com-pared with another player?

Numbers are sliced and diced to make predictions, reconsider greatness or understand a player’s potential.

Perhaps the corollary to the ques-tion, “Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?” should be, “Would a superstar with a different uniform number play as well?” The answer might depend on the date of the game.

The numbers game

Independence Day fireworks gone wrongAfter every July Fourth we hear

about the sickening tally of those injured or maimed by illegal fire-

crackers and explosives that were fired off in the name of fun. We routinely

say, “How idiotic. Why don’t they just leave the fireworks to the professionals and go watch the show some-place?” There are always places to see the artful displays, hear the raucous explo-sions and cheer together the red, white and blue. If all else fails, there is the tele-

vision or the computer screen. Do we have to injure ourselves to fully honor the actions of the colonists almost two-and-one-half centuries ago?

This subject is of more than casual interest to my family. When my dad was growing up on an upstate New

York farm, one of nine children, a neighbor brought the family some explosive caps with which to properly celebrate Independence Day. The chil-dren gathered around a large boulder and cheered with each explosion, as my father’s favorite brother smashed the caps in turn with a rock he held in his hand. But one refused to go off. To make sure he was hitting the cap in exactly the right spot, he bent his head close to the obdurate explosive and carefully aimed his blow. This time it did explode and blew out his right eye. Needless to say, that was the end of that in my household.

The trail of these stupid tragedies continues.

When we first arrived here, on the beautiful North Shore of Suffolk from our Texas air force base, at the end of June, 47 years ago, my husband, who was an ophthalmologist, applied for hospital privileges at St. Charles in Port Jefferson. He was admitted to the ranks with the news that his first “on call” day would be on July 4. His first patient, waiting for him in the emer-gency room, was a teenage boy whose

eye had been destroyed by an Inde-pendence Day explosive. He tended to the boy, of course, but never got over the horror of that sight and was sickened by the memory every year. It had been more traumatic for him than the many cases he had treated during the Vietnam War.

With these illegal explosives, brought in gleefully from distant states, we are to this day making war on ourselves. There is the story of the young visitor from Virginia in New York City, who was romping over the rocks in Central Park with his two buddies, when he stepped on a plastic bag of explosives that went off and destroyed his foot. There are seemingly unending stories of hands blown off, faces disfig-ured, house fires started, bystanders wounded and all manner of ugly conse-quences from fireworks across America. Some 230 wound up in emergency rooms at the latest count.

When John Adams wrote a letter to his wife, Abigail, on July 4, 1776, envi-sioning a dazzling annual celebration of independence from Britain, he surely didn’t consider such carnage as part

of the party. Nor did he imagine the single horror that brought about what was probably the first city ordinance in America banning the possession or sale of fireworks within the city limits.

It happened in Cleveland in 1908. A clerk in S.S. Kresge’s department store was showing a 4-year-old boy and his mother a “harmless” sparkler with which to celebrate the holiday when a spark flew into the nearby display of skyrockets, torpedoes and candles. The store was almost immediately engulfed in flames. Seven people died, including the little boy, and dozens more were in-jured as the store burned. The tragedy prompted the city council to act, and many more cities and states have out-lawed explosives over the last century.

But there are still states where the sale of explosives is legal, and the pres-ent concern is that a growing move-ment seems underway to relax some of the current legal restrictions. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates the sale of fireworks, reported that in addition to the many maimings from explosives 11 people died in 2014 alone. Why?
