Dr. Beth Christensen surveys the small window-less room piled high with cardboard boxes. Theyare filled with plastic bags of sediment – sand andgravel in assorted shades of gray, some light andpowdery, others thick and wet.
These bags help to tell a story – not just aboutthe water that laps our shores but about what kindof future we will have living within the water’sreach here along the South Shore Estuary.
“When Sandy hit, it was an amazing opportunityfor scientists to see how a storm of this magnitudecan change the environment,” said Dr. Christensen,a geologist and director of the EnvironmentalStudies Program at Adelphi University. “Peopleforget that this is a dynamic environment. Coastalsystems are about change, even when we do ourbest to stabilize it, it still changes,” she remarked.
The planOver the past six months teams of scientists have
looked at a variety of elements – water temperatureand clarity, salinity, the impact of the Fire Islandbreach, sea level, chlorophyll amounts (for browntides and algae blooms) and sediment transport.
Marine studies of the South Shore estuary werein place prior to Sandy’s landing, helping to pro-vide a reference point for scientists. These studiesinclude an intensive mapping of the bays by theU.S. Geological Survey and a study of nitrogenlevels in the bays called the TMDL study (TotalMaximum Load) spearheaded by Stony BrookUniversity.
Dr. Christensen, with a team of scientists fromAdelphi, spent late fall and the winter collectingsediment in the western bays – Hempstead Bay(West, Middle and East Bays) and South OysterBay – as well as Fire Island. They are measuringsediment changes to determine how the stormmoved sand from one place to another.
Dr. Christensen said that a large scale move-ment of sediment in the western bays has created“pockets of sediment one to two meters high.Weexpected 20 feet of water and there is only fivefeet of water,” she explained.
The Adelphi team is also mapping debris, testing thesediment for metals such as mercury and looking fortraces of sewage in sediments. “We want to see if thestorm churned up and moved around some of thesewage by Reynolds Channel,” she said, adding that

OVER 180 KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL students, many seen above, recentlyvolunteered their time at the “Long Beach Come Back Crew Clean Up andBeautification – Ear th Day Weekend.” The students, joined by KennedyHigh School teacher-volunteers Kara McManus (AP government), MichaelGraziosi (macroeconomics), Dennis Urban (par ticipation in government)and Lisa Scherer (par ticipation in government), travelled to Long Beach
and cleaned up an area along the water front that was devastated bysuperstorm Sandy. The students spent hours at the Long BeachRecreation Center picking up garbage and pulling out dead trees and bush-es left behind by superstorm Sandy’s floodwaters. The students alsoplanted flowers on Riverside Boulevard, Park Avenue, WashingtonBoulevard and Magnolia Boulevard.

Rebuilding the baysother members of the Adelphi team willuse this information to look at “bio-accu-mulation issues.”
Some early findings “The bay is our laboratory,” said Dr.
Christensen, who said that each studyinforms the other. All this research “hasthe potential to inform the public on how tomanage our resources and [assist] in mak-ing [public] policy.”
For example, Dr. Christopher Gobler, aprofessor at Stony Brook’s School ofMarine and Atmospheric Sciences, isstudying water quality changes. His stud-ies point to an overgrowth of certain typesof algae blooms due to nitrogen over-growth. “We see them as brown, and redand green tides,” he said.
Locally, Dr. Gobler has discovered thatulva, or sea lettuce, has had a “huge fivefold growth within the western bays,”and “grows like wild near the outfallpipe from the Bay Park SewageTreatment Plant,” where there are alsohigh levels of sulphur.
While it is still too early to see how thestorm will effect algae growth within thebays, Dr. Gobler said that “nitrogen isaccelerating the disappearance of saltmarshes and eelgrasses. The nitrogenweakens the salt marshes, thus increasingflooding,” he explained.
Our changing coastal landscapeMeanwhile, nitrogen levels have fallen
further east in the Great South Bay, said
Dr. Gobler. There, superstorm Sandyripped apart the barrier beach at FireIsland, creating a new inlet and allowinga free exchange of water between theocean and the bay.
And the bay is coming back: scien-tists are seeing cleaner oxygenatedwater and with it a chance to restorefishing and shellfishing.
“This is a natural progression – stormscreate new inlets along barrier islands,”said Dr. Christensen.
SPLASH (Stop Polluting Littering andSave Harbors) member Victor Consiglio isa longtime proponent of opening the inlets.“Encroachment of land to water along thebarrier island has cut off the bay’s circula-tion with the ocean,” he wrote in his report“Saving the Great South Bay.”
But some residents want the breachclosed because of flooding concerns. Theybelieve that with the higher tides and stormsurges, the breach must be closed up toavoid flooding. Marshall Brown, thefounder of the organization Save the GreatSouth Bay, disagrees.
He wrote on the organization’s web-page, “It is flooding everywhere, notjust on the South Shore of Longisland...This is not the work of onepuny inlet a tiny fraction of the size ofFire Island Inlet. This is climatechange. This is what it has done to ourcoasts and weather in such a seeming-ly short time already.”
“We’ve had enough unusual [weather]events to now understand a new normal ofextreme uncertainty,” said Dr. Christensen.
And Carl Lo Bue, senior marine scientistfrom the Nature Conservancy, said the veryhigh tides we saw this spring were fromseveral large nor’easters, one that wentfrom Florida up to Newfoundland and justbrushed Long Island, “but we felt itseffects,” he said. “These systems arebecoming more common.”
Science and infrastructureNew inlets are not a possible solution to
nitrogen and other pollution problems inthe Western Bays, said Adrienne Esposito,executive director of the CitizensCampaign for the Environment. Mr. LoBue added that “even with the best tech-nology at Bay Park, the only solution is anocean outfall pipe.”
The Bay Park sewage plant pours millionsof gallons of effluent into the bays. Researchfrom Stony Brook University has demon-strated that sewage effluent is being pushedup into the bays, north of Reynolds Channel.
The effluent that discharges into thechannel was previously believed to flush tothe Atlantic Ocean via daily tides. StonyBrook’s research evinces the opposite istrue. The tides push it north, where it accu-mulates and remains sloshing back andforth throughout the embayment.
Just last week County Executive EdwardMangano called upon the federal and stategovernments to provide assistance in theamount of $500 million to construct a newoutfall pipe that would remove treatedeffluent from the bays and deliver it intothe ocean.
Fishermen have their sayJoey Savone, a Freeport bayman and
fisherman for 40 years, told this newspaper
that “things are coming back like justbefore Sandy,” he said in March. “The lastfew years it was very clear and the waterlooked like it was five feet deep when itwas really 20 feet deep.
“I remember how the meadows looked– like an ocean during the storm,” recalledMr. Scavone.
“Now, I think the storm disruptedthe [nature’s] cycle, but it will comeback. The waters are pretty good, notas deep as they were, but I’ve beenclamming,” he said.
Tom Jefferies, another Freeport bay-man, whose family has lived by the seafor generations, said, “a few days afterthe storm I thought there will be no liv-ing on [from] the bay, but now I figurewe will be okay.
“It’s a little off, there are some subtlechanges, but I’m working, catching baitfor flounder,” he said. “It’s tough when theweather is your partner.”
But then Mr. Jefferies brightened up.“I’m in awe of Mother Nature. I’velearned that any sign of life is good. Thebirds are back on schedule – egrets, terns,osprey,” he said. “The osprey come fromgreat distances; they’re pairing up. AndI’ve seen oysters out there.”
Mr. Jefferies noted that “nature has away of righting the ship. Last year [winter2012] we had a very mild winter and thewater temperatures shot up like crazy. Iwas catching crockers [usually seen in theCarolinas]. It was so warm and it nevercooled down,” he said.
“I never believed in global warminguntil now. Maybe it’s nature, maybe not,but we must adapt. You have to realize...the water...well, it’s volatile.”

The silver liningWe live in some of the finest
communities in the world andhave “benefits not found else-where,” as former NassauCounty Executive ThomasGulotta put it, while addressingthe Society of St. Vincent DePaul as their honoree at theirannual golf outing last week.
And that privilege leads to a“sense of complacency and secu-rity until a tragedy like superstormSandy strikes,” he added.Fortunately, he noted, there is a sil-ver lining to the dark cloudsbecause “per square mile, Long Island houses more volunteerorganizations than any other place in the USA.”
One of the many but unique, the Society of St. Vincent DePaul provides the “human and spiritual element” to its work,which includes home visits to those who need help by unher-alded “miracle workers.”
Two of the Society’s miracle workers are Joan and Jim Delaneyof Baldwin. Joan Delaney is featured in the Society’s video, whichcan be seen on its website at svdprvc.org. In it, she points out thaton the side of the signature green trucks it says “We help people,”not “We help certain people.” The Society helps people of all races,creeds, ages and income levels.
Especially after superstorm Sandy, “those who normally wouldget along couldn’t get along,” as Society President PaulHodermarsky of Bellmore put it. The church in Long Beach wasunder water, so members from other parishes stepped up andhelped out, setting up temporary distribution centers. One stormvictim who could not stay in her own home still found time to helpothers in similar circumstances. On one recent day, she made sev-eral home visits to assess other people’s needs and then went shop-ping for furniture for herself.
The Society provides furniture for free for those who need it butalso sells to the public at several locations. Mr. Gulotta told how hewent to buy a side table at one of those stores and mentioned he wasbeing honored by the Society at its golf classic. “You still have topay full price,” he was informed and cheerfully did.
Longtime friend and former Freeport Chamber of CommercePresident Frank Pellicione described Tom Gulotta as a giving per-
son, a caring person “no matter yourpolitical stance, religion etc.,” andfunny. “Tom willl take the time for you.He will make you feel welcome. He is atrue friend.” he added.
In addition to St. Vincent de Paul, TomGulotta has been involved with over 65community organizations, includingserving as Chairman of CatholicCharities. He is C.E.O. of ExecutiveStrategies, Director of the UnitedNations Development Corporation andSpecial Counsel at Albanese and

New public health lawsmake sense
To Bellmore Life: As an owner of a local business —
Acupuncture Yin Yang on MerrickAvenue, Merrick — communityissues are very important to me,especially when they pertain to thepublic health. I would like to drawthe community’s attention to threebills in the New York StateLegislature that would make essen-tial reforms for our area.
The Consolidated Animal CrimesBill would modernize, clarify andstreamline the way that animal cru-elty is charged as a crime in ourstate. The reality of the conditionsthat many animals have to live in areinhumane and unacceptable, as wellas unsanitary and unsafe for humanconsumption.
Our own [state] Senator CharlesFuschillo of the Eighth Senate Districtis a sponsor of this bill, and I wouldlike to publicly applaud him for hav-ing the courage to take on this issue.
Long Island Senator Jack Martinsfrom the Mineola area is the sponsorof a Workers Compensation bill,which would make acupuncture moreaccessible by allowing injured work-ers to receive acupuncture treatmentsfrom NYS licensed acupuncturists.
More scientific studies are testify-ing to the effectiveness of acupunc-ture treatments as time passes, and itis therefore imperative that it be avail-able to everyone, as long as it is doneby a licensed practitioner.
The Acupuncture Society of NewYork is trying to advance the PublicSafety Bill, which would include thepractice of herbs into the practice oflicensed acupuncturists in order toensure the safety and proper use ofthese naturally healing plants.
These can be turning points in ourcommunity in regards to publichealth. Let us take a step forward byurging the passage of these bills,which will update our current systemsto fit the progression of modern times.

Bellmore-Merrick has its fourth annu-al Relay for Life to benefit the AmericanCancer Society on Saturday, May 18, inTown Park.
Overseen by Merrick resident PaulGruol, a full-time volunteer of TheAmerican Cancer Society, the evening fea-tured musical acts Baked Goods and UnderCover, bake sales and raffles. Although theweather was unkind for the first hour, lotsof people came out to walk the track inhonor of their loved ones who have – or had– been afflicted with cancer, as well as thecaretakers who supported them.
Teams who had raised money throughthe year set up booths and tents aroundthe track forwalkers to stop atand buy treats ordrinks tofundraise evenmore, whilesome businesseslike the SmithStreet Delidonated mealsfor attendees toenjoy.
Without adoubt, the mosti m p a c t f u lmoment of theevent was the
luminaria ceremony, where all the atten-dees walked one silent lap around thetrack, and then assisted in lighting candlesaround the field, as well as on the bleach-ers, which then lit up the word, “Hope”.
At the end of the day, the Bellmore-Merrick community helped to raiseapproximately $30,000 for The AmericanCancer Society. Hopefully, we will con-tinue to take more steps to defeating can-cer and supporting the fight for life.

Editor’s note: This story, in memori-am to Mr. Kopp, 96, who died Monday,first appeared in Bellmore Life onFebruary 15, 2012. Funeral arrange-ments are still being set.
by Eric Homburger
Bellmore has had its fair share of fire-fighters since the town was established,most of which were volunteer firefighters.Ninety-five-year-old George Kopp wasone of those firefighters.
Mr. Kopp came to Bellmore in 1929 –when there were plenty of open spaces –after living in the Bronx for 11 years. Atthe age of 29, in 1946, he followed hisfather and brothers’ footsteps and joinedthe fire department.
He spent 63 years as a part of theBellmore Fire Department in severalcapacities during that time. He was a sec-retary, he was “on the hose” and he endedas the captain of the Fire Police.
Mr. Kopp’s first fire was a big one.There was a fire in some of the stores onBedford Avenue, and he was called in. Atthe time he was “on the hose” and hedescribed it as a “major fire.”
Besides taking part in the fire depart-ment, Mr. Kopp also ran an engravingplant for 30 years, as a second job.
Mr. Kopp is now “retired” from his jobat the department. Due to an illness, he isunable to work but, as he said, “I neverreally retired.” But this hasn’t stopped himfrom visiting the station whenever possi-ble. Whenever he returns, he tells stories ofthe old days to all the other members of thedepartment. As Chief Daniel Holl said,“He is a great guy.”
John Scalesi Jr., ex-captain of theBellmore Fire Department and a memberof the Bellmore Volunteer ExemptFiremen’s Benevolent Association, said“George is an interesting man and greatstoryteller. He tells stories of his old wardays in the medical unit, and he’s very pre-cise and thorough in their telling.”
He said Mr. Kopp has a good sense ofhumor, and always makes sure he collects– or tries to – the $2 during associationmeeting nights.
As a member of the Long IslandFirefighters Antique Association, Mr.Kopp has also been instrumental inrebuilding the antique fire engine in therear of the exempt hall.
When asked what his favorite thingabout his job was, he said that helpingother people who had a problem was hisfavorite.
Since Mr. Kopp started, Bellmore haschanged a lot. He said that today kids gooff to college, come home after college andthen leave for good to pursue their bestoption in life. Because of this, there is alack of “younger people” volunteering forthe fire department.
Volunteers are a huge part of the com-munity. These men and women risk theirlives to save others, and the fire departmentis always looking for new volunteers.
Mr. Kopp was feted for his 95th birthdayat the Bellmore Fire Department on PettitAvenue on Sunday, February 19.

ENTERTAINING LIFELongtime Eagle Scout launches
new kayak adventureAfter 37 years in Boy Scouts, local
resident Jerry Foster has taken his loveof the outdoors to the next level. ThisMemorial Day weekend, he willlaunch his own mobile kayak rentalbusiness, Freeport Kayak Rentals.
“I joined the Boy Scouts in 1973,and I simply fell in love with the out-door program,” Mr. Foster explains.“My favorite activities always cen-tered around water and included fish-ing, swimming, lifesaving, rowing,sailing and canoeing, Mr. Foster toldthis newspaper.
“Since earning Eagle Scout in 1981,I have continued to stay very active inScouting, moved to the south shoreand became an avid boater and kayak-er. Now I’ve decided to ‘do what Ilove’ and open Freeport Kayak Rentalsto help others enjoy and learn to appre-ciate our great South Shore bays,” hecontinued.
“Not only is kayaking a fantastic,healthy activity, but it gives each of usa chance to see Long Island’s baysfrom a completely new perspective,and respect them for the life they giveto us,” he said.
On Friday, May 24, Freeport KayakRentals will officially open for busi-ness, offering kayak rentals, lessonsand eco-tours for singles, couples,families and groups at very reasonablefees. Although there is no traditionalstorefront, reservations are madeonline or by phone, and Mr. Foster
brings the boats and equipment to you.Kayaks can launch from Waterfront
Park, at the end of South Long BeachAvenue in Freeport, just five blocksfrom the Nautical Mile. WaterfrontPark allows paddlers easy and safeaccess to Baldwin Bay.
Kayakers can spend a few hours—orall day—paddling the calm bays, birdwatching and discovering the naturalbeauty of our local waters. For thoselooking for a great workout, severalroutes are also available to test yourphysical strength and stamina.
Later this summer, Freeport KayakRentals will also be offering stand-uppaddle board rentals, beginner classesand, of course, kayaking Merit Badgeclasses for Boy Scouts.
“I am so excited to bring this won-derful sport to our local community”said Mr. Foster. “Everyone should takethis opportunity to paddle—even if it’sjust for two hours—to escape thestresses of everyday life, take a mini-vacation, and to feel alive again. That’swhat kayaking has to offer. It’s a beau-tiful activity.”
To help you get on the water faster,reservations are made online atFreeportKayakRentals.com by calling1-855-WE-KAYAK, or texting 637-8498.
You can also meet Mr. Foster at theFreeport Festival on June 1. Stop byfor a chance to win a brand new OceanKayak, valued at more than $600.
‘Real Radio’ –from a Bellmore resident
by Jacob Derwin
“The Real Radio Show” with FrankieDee has been bringing unscripted andunpredictable content to the tri-statearea airwaves for six years, and is stillgoing strong.
The show was started by host FrankCalvacca – aka Frankie Dee, who livedin Bellmore for 30 years and attendedKennedy High School. Originally airingon the now-defunct WLIR-FM six yearsago, Mr. Calvacca has brought togethera cast of hosts, including MarkMendoza, Henry K and the Krissy, “TheCar Girl.”
Having bounced from station to sta-tion over the years, they eventuallystruck a deal with AM 970: The Answer,for broadcast Saturday nights at 11 p.m.
What exactly is “The Real RadioShow”? “Off the wall, mayhem...prettymuch keeping it real,” said Mr. Dee. “Iwant people to see behind the scenes.Some of these [other radio] shows areso polished and prepared, I want to keepit real.”
Mr. Dee got into the radio business ina back-door way. “I wanted to be a rockstar,” he said. “I was in a band calledDivinity Angels of Rock. We had ourfirst interview on WLIR and DJ Codyloved the way I handled myself... sothey offered me a job.”
Mr. Dee has since interviewed over100 celebrities, including Dee Snider of
Twisted Sister, Eddie Money[Mahoney], Chubby Checker, and PeterCriss and Gene Simmons of Kiss. Infact, he says his interview with GeneSimmons is one of his most memorable.
“He talked about the rumors aboutKiss, he talked about his infidelity withhis ex-wife...he’s only human. There’sno need to crucify celebrities, I’m notgoing to try to defame anybody; no rightto judge. They’re only human...They’reentertainers and if they’re entertainingus and taking our minds off of the stuffwe have to deal with, then we should beapplauding them.”
“The Real Radio Show” plays alltypes of music. Mr. Dee didn’t want tobe pigeonholed by an “oldies radio” or“pop radio” label. The show highlightsgood music of all types, “from rock tohip-hop.” Free-form, he called it.
“The Real Radio Show” even allowsindie bands and artists to send in theirmusic to the station to potentially begiven some airtime.
If you like honest, noncategorized,unscripted music and entertainmentfrom some “real” guys such as FrankieDee, tune into to “The Real RadioShow” on Saturday nights at 11 p.m. onAM 970, or check out their live streamon Tuesdays at 7 p.m. onUStream.tv/channel/the-real-radio-show.
For information on the show, you canvisit TheRealRadioShow.com.

ENTERTAINING LIFE
Calhoun’s Noreen Prunierheads to Nashville
by Kimberly White
Calhoun senior Noreen Prunier haswanted to perform her whole life. Sheoften reminisces on her days as a childwhen she would put on shows at familyevents. She loves the idea of an audiencefocused in on her original music.
Noreen’s childhood memories ofsinging and putting on performancesfor her family was fun until sophomoreyear of high school, when she decidedshe wanted to take her music careerinto new heights.
When Noreen started to write her ownmusic she begged her mom to buy her aguitar. Her previous experience in playingthe viola and piano made her more adapt-able toward learning the guitar sheexplained. She said it was very easy tolearn, being she already has a musicalbackground.
In an interview on the Rutgers radiostation, she got to talk about her musicand got the opportunity to inform theaudience about her album set for releaseon iTunes the following week.
She explained that her inspirationcomes from multiple different genres ofmusic. Her style of music and passion forwriting songs comes from her majorinspiration, Taylor Swift.
“I really wanted to be able to writesongs that anyone could relate to, likeTaylor Swift does.”
Noreen’s songs are filled with new love,lost love and heartbreak. Her favorite writ-
ten song is “Livin’ On Fire” because, asshe says, it is the one song she fully wroteherself and did not co-write. She is proudof how “catchy and fun, yet meaningful”the song became.
Two of Noreen’s songs, “Livin’ OnFire” and “Box Of You” include amusic video that can be found onNoreen’s YouTube channel. Noreen’salbum, consisting of these two songsand a third song, “Sparks Fly,” can befound on iTunes today.
All her recordings took place at WestfallRecording Company in Farmingdale.Noreen frequently co-writes with otherartists and performs all around LongIsland, sometimes traveling to Nashvilleto perform there. She enjoys traveling toNashville to network her music and meetmusic industry professionals.
Noreen is working with a web designerfor her new website and is close to part-nering with a few clothing companies topromote and sponsor her music.
Noreen reports that she will be movingto Nashville in August and attendingBelmont University in the fall. In a span offive years, Noreen’s ultimate goal is tomore full develop as an artist and find hervoice as an artist and songwriter.
She concludes, “I hope to also get arecord label while I’m down inNashville.”
Kimberly White is in the CalhounSenior Experience class and an intern atBellmore Life.
