Some things never seem to change.

Count the pursuit of the Suffolk County League VII boys golf championship among them. Once again, a two-horse race is expected between Mattituck and Eastport-South Manor. The teams shared the league title in 2015 for the second time in three years. More than that, though, one or the other of the golfing rivals — and sometimes both of them — have been the League VII champions for at least the past 16 years, according to Mattituck coach Paul Ellwood.

That stretch may be extended to 17 years.

“I think it’s going to come down to our two matches with Eastport,” said Ellwood, referring to matches against the Sharks on Sept. 21 at North Fork Country Club and Oct. 17 at Pine Hills Golf & Country Club.

Surprise, surprise.

The teams split their two meetings last year, each winning on the other team’s home course.

Mattituck (13-1 last year) is coming off a brilliant season in which it won the League VII Qualifying Tournament for the second year in a row, posting a tournament record score of 397 on the par-73, 18-hole course at Cherry Creek Golf Links. Eastport (11-1) was the runner-up, two strokes behind.

For the season, Mattituck had a 197 team average, its lowest in at least 15 years, said Ellwood, who called it the best golf team he has coached.

This year’s team has a chance to do some big things, too. Seniors Alex Burns (14-0, 39.69 nine-hole average), Ryan McCaffrey (11-2, 41.07) and Brendan Kent (10-1-1, 41.33) were All-League performers and all qualified for the county tournament, finishing in the top eight in the League VII Tournament. Another senior, Matt Mauceri (13-0, 42.46), is a returning lineup player as well. Seniors Ryan Shuford (9-1, 43.58) and Tyler Seifert are also back.

And then there are the newcomers. “I have some good, new talent coming in,” said Ellwood.

Sophomore Matt Sledjeski and freshman Chris Talbot were the top players on the junior varsity team last year. Another sophomore, Ryan Seifert (Tyler’s younger brother), could find a spot in the starting six.

“The story for us is going to be the depth in the back of the lineup that no one else has,” said Ellwood.

Ellwood said Burns is the team’s No. 1 player, but with “everyone else, all the positions are interchangeable. Any day I write the lineup down, I doubt the scores will come back one through six. On any given day, any one of them could have the lowest score of the day.”

On the cusp of the new season, Bobby Van Mater is Greenport/Southold’s most consistent player. A senior in his fourth year on the team, the All-League golfer with a strong short game averaged about 41 per nine holes in 2015.

“Bobby is doing well,” coach Dave Fujita said. “I’m hoping he’s going to average below 40. He has the potential. He can shoot par on any given day.”

The good news for Greenport/Southold (6-6) is that Van Mater isn’t the only golfer who can have a big day. “My top four players all have the potential to break 40,” said Fujita.

That includes senior Jack Webster, senior Charlie Poliwoda and junior Matt Tuthill. Another junior, Charlie Campbell, also returns.

New to the team are: seniors Joe Saporita and Doug Fiedler, junior Jake Dominy, sophomores Tyler DeFrese and sophomore Emiliann Palermo, and freshman Felicia Kayel.

Fujita said his veteran players have had a positive impact in more ways than one. “They know what they’re supposed to do when they get up to the course,” he said. “I think their leadership helps with developing the younger golfers. I’ve already seen improvement over the past couple of weeks.”

For one night at least, David Kubiak’s friends couldn’t be Long Island Ducks fans.

Kubiak, the starting pitcher for the Bridgeport Bluefish, had served notice with a Facebook posting two days before the game. With tongue in cheek, the former Southold High School standout wrote, “If I see you with a duck bill noise maker we are no longer friends.”

Kubiak turned in a solid performance Wednesday evening, picking up the win in a 3-2 victory over the Long Island Ducks in the first game of an Atlantic League doubleheader at Bethpage Ballpark.

With family and friends looking on and a spring in his step, Kubiak (7-4) struck out the first batter he faced and looked sharp in the six innings he pitched. The 6-foot-7, 245-pound righthander allowed six hits, struck out eight and did not issue a walk. He threw 65 of his 92 pitches for strikes.

In one of his few missteps of the evening, Kubiak fielded an Anthony Vega bunt in the fourth inning and threw the ball past first baseman Sean Burroughs. It was scored a hit and an error by Kubiak. The next batter, Fehlandt Lentini, singled, making it 1-0. Later in the inning, though, Kubiak made a nice fielding play that may have saved him a run, gloving a chopper and then charging at the runner at second base, Lentini, who was tagged out on a fielder’s choice.

The Bluefish didn’t trail for long. In the fifth, RBI doubles by Wellington Dotel and Jose Cuevas and an RBI single by Geraldo Valentin put Bridgeport ahead, 3-1.

The Ducks threatened in the sixth. After Kubiak fanned the first two batters, Delta Cleary Jr. sprayed a single, stole second base and came home when Ford dropped a double inside the leftfield line. Following a visit to the mound by Bluefish manager Luis Rodriguez and with the potential tying run on second base, Kubiak recorded a big strikeout of Cody Puckett, the last batter he faced.

One Riverhead organization hopes to have a national impact next week by visiting Baton Rouge, La., and bringing along it $15,000 in donated supplies to help with recovery efforts in the wake of recent catastrophic flooding.

Marisa Striano, owner of Spirit’s Promise Equine Rescue, was watching the disaster unfold on television when she heard that numerous animal shelters in the area had also been devastated. She also learned that hundreds of horses in the Baton Rouge area were injured, missing or forced to drink dirty water.

“They lost everything,” she said.

Initially, Ms. Striano thought she would help with recovery efforts by sending supplies. But then she and Lindsay Ekizian, a Spirit’s Promise board member, decided they should go south themselves to deliver the items personally.

“If you feel like you want to do something, you should just do it,” Ms. Striano said. “You don’t get second chances to do something like this to help people. And that’s what we do.”

On Sept. 15, Ms. Striano, Ms. Ekizian and fellow board member Diane Eissler Brockett will fly to Louisiana to meet a freight truck that’s leaving the North Fork Sept. 12 loaded with their donations. The women were able to rent the vehicle thanks to generous donations from Diane Kaczorowski, Skip Skiba, Linda Griefinger, Carol Huck and Joe Mangi. The women’s expenses are being covered by Unity Electric Co. of Queens, which is owned by Ms. Striano’s father.

How you can help

Spirit’s Promise Horse Rescue Program will accept donations of food and medical supplies for horses, cats and dogs through Saturday, Sept. 10. For more information, call 914-420-7650 or 631-664-4381.

Lindsay Bailey, whose family owns Neptune Feed & Saddlery in Calverton, helped round up food and medical supplies for Baton Rouge animal shelters. They will be shipping dry dog food and horse feed as well as wound care supplies, such as gauze and antiseptics.

“I jumped at the opportunity,” she said.

Ms. Bailey, who was approached by Ms. Striano about two weeks ago, has since gathered additional donations for the shipment from Hallway Feeds, Purina Mills, Triple Crown and Nutrena. In addition to medical supplies, she said, they’re donating about six tons of food for horses, cats and dogs.

“I think the experience, overall, has been very rewarding,” she said. “I hope that this is able to change the lives of these animals that unfortunately are counting on people to help them.”

The women also reached out to county police in Suffolk and Nassau and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to gather supplies for Baton Rouge police officers who are working around the clock — even though some of them lost their homes.

Mike Simonelli, treasurer of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association, said it’s not every day the police department collects supplies for other states in need. However, he said, he’s happy to contribute to the cause. He sent a memo to Suffolk police asking them to donate household items, as well as food and gift cards, to Baton Rouge’s police force.

“[The police force] is one big family,” he said. “We consider each other family around the country.”

Mr. Simonelli said Spirit’s Promise deserves the credit for organizing the rescue mission.

“We are just happy to participate and help our brothers and sisters down in Louisiana going through this terrible time,” he said.

Louisiana state troopers are excited for the women to arrive.

“It’s an unbelievable show of support from people that are so far away,” Lt. J.B. Slaton said. “It just shows what community is all about.”

Lt. Slaton added that animals are often forgotten in the aftermath of natural disasters.

“There’s a tremendous need, not only law for enforcement animals, but for livestock and horses. To have that support from as far away as New York is absolutely tremendous,” he said. “We can’t thank them enough.”

Once Spirit’s Promise arrives, the group will rent a U-Haul and travel to different animal shelters to drop off supplies.

“It’s not just about helping the horses — it’s about facilitating and helping other organizations that do the same thing we do,” Ms. Ekizian said.

This marks the organization’s first long-distance rescue mission, but the women hope it’s not the last.

“We are a rescue that’s trying to make a difference globally,” Ms. Striano said. “As soon as there is a disaster anywhere in the country, we are going to be there, next to FEMA, helping out.”

Southold Town Councilwoman Jill Doherty has suggested a new fee for commercial boaters who use the town’s boat ramps, saying a $250 charge would help pay for upkeep and ticket enforcement.

During Tuesday’s meeting, Ms. Doherty said the town currently charges residents $10 for a parking sticker that allows them to use municipal lots at town beaches. However, the sticker currently doesn’t cover boat ramp usage, which Ms. Doherty suggested could be added to the existing sticker so there would be no impact on residents.

Instead, she hopes to pull money from commercial uses at the boat ramps. “It’s really not going to change much of anything, but it gives us the revenue to do the small maintenance on these areas,” she said.

Some board members questioned how the town would define commercial boat uses and said a public hearing would be needed to address that issue; however, the board expressed universal support for extending the sticker season from summer-only to year-round.

The Town Board will discuss the proposed change at a future public hearing.

One day after the Suffolk County Legislature adopted a new law requiring retailers to charge shoppers 5 cents for each paper or plastic bag they use, local residents and lawmakers offered up a wide range of thoughts on the bill. 

The legislation — which aims to deter single-use bags across the county — was sponsored by Legislator William Spencer (D-Centerport) after he failed to gain support earlier this year to impose a countywide ban on plastic bags. The ban was favored by environmentalists and some local elected officials, but bag manufacturers and grocery store owners said it would come at the expense of jobs and drive up costs for consumers.

North Fork County Legislator Al Krupski (D-Cutchogue), who has supported a countywide ban on plastic bags, said he voted in favor of the nickel charge for single-use bags, because he believes it will reduce litter.

“The whole point of the fee is to make people think twice about using the bags,” he said. “Everyone is tired of seeing them in the fields and creeks. We can live without them — we didn’t use them for a long time and I think we can do it again.”

If County Executive Steve Bellone approves the legislation, the law will go into effect Jan. 1, 2018. Mr. Bellone did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but his office told Newsday he will likely sign the bill.

Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, said in a statement she believes the law will be effective and noted how Washington D.C. experienced a significant reduction in plastic and paper bag usage after passing a similar law.

“Plastic bags litter communities, kill wildlife and pollute our oceans,” she said. “Plastic bags are a mistake of the past — reusable bags are the solution for our future.”

One of the more controversial aspects of the legislation approved Wednesday is that retailers are allowed to keep the money they collect from the new fee.

Mr. Krupski said the county would need cooperation from the state in order for it to receive the fee instead, adding that he’ll be in contact with state Senator Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) and Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suffolk) to solicit support.

Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter questioned the legality of the county imposing such a fee on stores without collecting the revenue for itself and described the law as “a ludicrous piece of legislation.”

“Giving the money to the stores is just silly — if you’re going to do anything it should go to municipalities for cleaning up of the bags,” he said, adding that he believes the law will have “zero effect” on decreasing single-use bags.

“When you go grocery shopping and get charged 30 cents for bags, you won’t blink an eye,” he said.

Mr. Walter and Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell have said they support a countywide ban because they believe it’s the only equitable approach and would level the playing field for businesses in Suffolk.

On Thursday, Mr. Russell said although believes the best solution is a countywide ban, he said he’s pleased the issue is getting addressed, even if “it might not be the perfect solution.”

“I’m opposed to stores retaining the 5 cents and think the money could be used for better purposes,” Mr. Russell explained, “but I also recognize the necessity of trying to get more players on board.”

Some shoppers said Thursday they believe the nickel charge for bags is a good way to remind people to use their reusable bags.

Laquetta Goodwin of Riverhead, who was out shopping Thursday with her friend Janet Reed at the Gala Fresh supermarket on Route 58, said she recently purchased reusable grocery bags, but did not bring them with her this time.

“Everything adds up,” she said about being charged 5 cents per bag.

Catherine Hart, who was loading up her car with groceries in reusable bags after shopping at the Mattituck Marketplace Thursday, said she stopped using plastic bags for environmental reasons.

“I think it’s a good thing,” she said of the new fee, adding that she hopes it will encourage other shoppers to use reusable bags.

“I see plastic bags blowing across roads and driveways and in the water,” she said.

Sarah Phillips, president of the Greenport Business Improvement District, said although she wasn’t prepared to speak on behalf of the BID about the new law Thursday since her membership hadn’t met to discuss it yet, she believes the tax on plastic bags is a step in a positive direction.

“Overall, the ‘canvas bag movement’ is something that is encouraged, especially on the North Fork,” she said.

When reached for comment about the new law, King Kullen senior vice president Joseph Brown said in a statement his company has offered its customers reusable bags for more than ten years and anticipates “greater demand in light of the new Suffolk bill.”

“However, we will continue to offer plastic and paper grocery bags as well, leaving all options available to our customers,” he said.

Charles Reichert, who owns the Southold and Greenport IGA, declined comment Thursday, but in the past he’s expressed support for a countywide ban.

The law will be enforced by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services and violators will face a fine of $500 per offense, according to the bill.

The Legislature also approved the creation of a committee to determine the law’s success by finding out if more people are taking reusable bags with them when they shop.

If the use of plastic bags isn’t reduced by at least 75 percent in three years, then the “idea of an outright ban can be revisited at a later date,” according to the legislation.

The Legislature approved the measure by a 13-4 vote, with legislators Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset), Lou D’Amaro (D-North Babylon) and Robert Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) casting dissenting votes.

Legislator Bill Lindsay (D-Bohemia) was absent.

After playing more than 90 minutes of regulation and overtime of scoreless soccer, the Southold/Greenport and Bishop McGann-Mercy high school girls teams struck for goals less than three minutes apart Thursday.

The result was a 1-1 draw in the Suffolk County League VII opener for both teams in Southold.

The Clippers (1-2, 0-0-1) had taken the lead on Lucie Showalter’s goal, which was put home in a scramble with 7 minutes, 13 seconds left in the second overtime.

The Monarchs (1-0-1, 0-0-1) equalized with 4:17 remaining on Siobhan Merrill’s goal. Merrill tallied in a scramble in the penalty area after Maddie Joinnides’ corner kick was knocked around by both teams.

It was Joinnides who scored the game-winning goal with eight seconds remaining in the 2015 regular-season finale for both teams, a result that sent the Monarchs into the Class B playoffs and eliminated the Clippers from contention.

With 42 seconds remaining in the first overtime, Merrill almost gave the Monarchs the lead as her shot from distance hit the upper left corner of the goal as goalkeeper Hayley Brigham tipped away the ball.

While both sides tried to attack, the game turned a fierce defensive battle as Mercy and Southold found ways to deny the opposition, whether it was blocking shots, intercepting passes or solid play by Mercy goalkeeper Molly Tuthill and Brigham.

These two rivals will meet again at Mercy on Sept. 27.

Next on Southold’s schedule is a league encounter at Mattituck Saturday. Mercy will host Babylon on Saturday.

Bill Zuhoksi thought his life would change forever after his near-death experience in January 2009.

After all, the Mattituck resident was among the 155 survivors of U.S. Airways Flight 1549, better known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.”

“At the time, you definitely think you’re going to live every day to the fullest,” Mr. Zuhoski said. “But you know, you still gotta go to work and do everything else. Nothing really changed, to be honest.”

While Mr. Zuhoski, now 31, said the first year after the headline-making incident was filled with media interviews and attention from locals, he hadn’t thought much about the flight in the time since. That changed recently with this week’s scheduled release of “Sully,” a film about the flight and its hero pilot, Captain Chesley Sullenberger.

Mr. Zuhoski, who grew up in Cutchogue, said he was contacted about the movie starring Tom Hanks nearly a year ago and was invited, along with other Flight 1549 passengers, to Charlotte, N.C., to meet the film’s legendary director, Clint Eastwood. The meeting was filmed and will be included in the closing credits, but Mr. Zuhoski decided not to attend. He’ll also skip out on a pair of premieres he was invited to — one in Charlotte, the flight’s scheduled first stop, and the other in New York City, where it departed.

Instead, Mr. Zuhoski and his wife plan to rent out a theater at Mattituck Cinemas so they can watch the movie surrounded by close friends and family.

“I’m excited to see it,” he said. “I’m sure I’ll get some feelings during it. But I’ve talked about it so many times — it’s been seven years. It’s not going to bother me.”

Mr. Zuhoski said many people who felt uncomfortable talking to him about the flight soon after the incident took place have begun asking him about the experience. In doing so, the story, which once felt emotionally draining to share, now feels like any other Mr. Zuhoski has told dozens of times.

On Jan. 15, 2009, Mr. Zuhoski was 23 years old and he and his high school sweetheart had just broken up. He was flying from Laguardia Airport to Charlotte on his way to visit a friend in South Carolina — just to get away for a while.

Just minutes after the plane took off, Mr. Zuhoski heard the captain tell passengers to brace for impact.

“It was kind of surreal going down,” he said. “You kind of just think that that’s it.”

He said he tucked his head down and said a little prayer and a goodbye.

But the plane didn’t crash. Instead, Captain Sullenberger, or “Sully,” as he’d later be known across the world, famously performed an emergency water landing on the Hudson River between New York City and Weehawken, N.J.

Although everyone on board survived, Mr. Zuhoski can remember some harrowing moments following the landing. For instance, as passengers raced to the back of the plane to escape, that portion of the aircraft began filling with water.

“I just remember lifting my leg out of the water and how heavy it was with soaking wet clothes on,” Mr. Zuhoski said.

He reached for his cellphone to call his former girlfriend, but he was waist-deep in water and the device was broken from water damage.

As passengers began trying to push their way through the crowd, Mr. Zuhoski remembers standing on a seat and yelling for everyone to remain calm. He would soon be neck-deep in ice-cold water.

“The scariest part for me was looking up and the roof of the plane is just a foot away,” he said. “People are pushing me from behind and from the back and I’m thinking, ‘I’m going to drown here in the back of the plane with nowhere to go.’ ”

Mr. Zuhoski then remembers removing his clothing, which was weighing him down. If he did manage to get off the plane, he thought, being lighter would make it easier to swim.

He eventually exited via one of the plane’s wings, clothes in hand.

Although Mr. Zuhoski says his life hasn’t changed much in the years since, that isn’t entirely true. Remember the ex-girlfriend he tried to call from the plane? He married her in 2015.

Stephanie Zuhoski remembers watching the incident unfold on television while she was home from college on winter break. Soon after, she received a phone call from a family friend telling her Mr. Zuhoski was on the plane.

“I dropped the phone and called my mom and was just hysterical right away,” she recalled.

While another three years would pass before the couple officially reunited, Stephanie was often at Mr. Zuhoski’s side in the days following the flight.

Ms. Zuhoski said her husband isn’t the type to eat up media attention. The incident made him realize not to take anything for granted, she said, but she agreed it hasn’t changed him much. She said he’s still the “kindest, most humble and greatest person” she knows.

While Mr. Zuhoski initially thought he’d never fly again, that’s no longer the case. In November 2009, he and other survivors flew to Chicago for a taping of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” to surprise Mr. Sullenberger, who was appearing as a guest.

“You can’t really turn down ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show,’ ” he joked, noting that he did turn down a taping of “Ellen” and an appearance on a London talk show.

Today, Mr. Zuhoski flies as much as the average person.

“Everybody jokes that they want to be on the flight that I’m on because there’s no way that’s going down again,” he said. “Like flight insurance.”

Mr. Zuhoski said he connects with other passengers from Flight 1549 on social media but doesn’t see them often, since most live in North Carolina. He was in attendance on the first anniversary of the flight, however, when the group met in New York City and took a boat ride to the site of the water landing.

The occasion marked one of the few times he was able to talk to Captain Sullenberger.

“I honestly don’t even remember what I said to him the first time we met after the incident,” Mr. Zuhoski said, adding that he invited the captain to his wedding, but he was unable to attend. “It’s almost impossible to try and thank someone for saving your life.”

After deciding between Trump and Clinton, remember to flip the ballot on Election Day.

A new coalition called “Clean Water and Community Preservation Coalition” is reminding voters in advance of the November election to vote on a proposition to extend the land transfer tax that creates the Community Preservation Fund for the five East End towns. To do so will require voters to flip to the back side of the ballot, where all propositions will be listed.

“The slogan for this campaign is ‘you really ought to flip over the ballot,’ ” said Richard Amper of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society.

The group held a press conference Thursday morning in Riverhead to announce its upcoming campaign to urge support for the CPF extension in November.

“We will be running mail, print ads, radio ads and electronic media from the end of September through Election Day,” said Kevin McDonald of the Nature Conservancy.

The new coalition’s membership comprises representatives from more than 50 civic organizations, businesses, environmental groups, and others, and on Thursday morning, several of them were joined by local political leaders to kick off support for the proposition.

The CPF was created in 1998, when voters in all five East End towns approved a referendum to create a two-percent land transfer tax, with that money going toward open space and farmland protection. It’s been extended by East End voters several times since then.

To date, more than $1.1 billion in CPF funds have been spent to preserve more than 10,000 acres of open space and farmland, officials said.

The November proposition would extend the life of the two-percent tax from 2030 — when its currently due to expire — to 2050.

It also would, for the first time, allow the money to be used on water quality projects, such as sewer upgrades, aquatic habitat restoration projections and pollution prevention projects.

“That is so essential to this region, I can’t even express my pleasure,” said Riverhead Supervisor Sean Walter, whose town has had to upgrade its sewage treatment plant to the cost of more than $20 million.

All five East End towns have passed resolutions scheduling the referendum, which will actually be a separate referendum in each town, according to state Assemblyman Fred Thiele (I-Sag Harbor).

While farmland and open space preservation has been the main focus of the CPF up until now, a yes vote on the fall proposition will enable officials to begin a transformation to add water quality protection to its goals as well, Mr. McDonald said.

The CPF will continue to be used for farmland and open space protection, and will not be abandoning those goals, he stressed.

“A number of years ago, it was brought to our attention that the Peconic River was being polluted by cesspools on its banks,” Senator Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) said at the press conference. “We never really thought about it, but when you saw pictures of open cesspool covers and pollutants going into the Peconic, that visual was incredible.”

Officials at the county level also have recently begun taking steps to consider alternative septic systems that remove nitrogen from groundwater discharges, something officials say traditional cesspools don’t do.

Since the fund is generated by a percentage of real estate transfers, the higher price housing on the South Fork has generated far more in CPF revenue than it has on the North Fork, according to Mr. Thiele’s office.

Since 1999, the town of Southampton has generated $640 million from the CPF, while East Hampton Town has generated $305 million.

On the North Fork, Southold Town generated $74 million; Riverhead Town $51 million and Shelter Island Town $23 million.

Asked afterward if water quality programs could be funded by CPF revenues from a different town — for example Southampton contributing to upgrade Riverhead’s sewage treatment plant, which discharges into the Peconic — Mr. Thiele said there is nothing in the law now that would prevent one town from allowing its CPF money to be spent in another town, but, to date, that has never happened.

William L. Schwab

William L. Schwab, formerly of Plandome Manor, East Marion and Sarasota, Fla., passed away Aug. 1, 2016, at the age of 97 in St. James. He was born Dec. 2, 1918.

He was the beloved husband of the late Eleanor Regel Schwab and is survived by sons Allen (Cheryl) of Manhasset and Richard (Sharon) of East Setauket; his granddaughter, Madeleine; and his grandson, Taylor.

William was a graduate of New York University’s Stein Business School, a U.S. Naval lieutenant, and a sales manager for a New York City Notions firm. He was an avid golfer who enjoyed boating on Peconic Bay and building model planes in his retirement.

A private service was held Aug. 4, 2016, with interment of ashes to follow at St. John’s Cemetery in Cold Spring Harbor.

Longtime East Marion resident Joseph Peter Carlozzi died Sept. 6 at Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead. He was 80. 

The son of Anna (Cafferlli) and Henry Carlozzi Sr., Mr. Carlozzi was born March 23, 2016, in Greenport.

On Nov. 11, 1962, he married Barbara Jean in Greenport.

Mr. Carlozzi graduated from high school and later served in the U.S. Air Force for four years, achieving the rank of airman first class. He was the pharmacy manager at Colonial Drugs in Greenport for 30 years and a 20-year member of Greenport Fire Department Phenix Hook and Ladder.

Predeceased by his brother, Henry, in 1991, Mr. Carlozzi is survived by his wife, Barbara Jean of Greenport and East Marion, his sons, Mark, of Lake Forest,  Calif. and Craig, of Sag Harbor and three grandchildren.

The family will receive visitors Sunday, Sept. 11, from 2 to 6 p.m. at Horton-Mathie Funeral Home in Greenport. Interment will take place at 10:15 a.m. Monday, Sept. 12, at Calverton National Cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made to Greenport Fire Department, Phenix Hook and Ladder Company or East Marion Volunteer Ambulance.

Robert J. Haldas of Southold died Sept. 8 in East Lyme, Conn. at the age of 75.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 10, at Mattituck Presbyterian Church with Caren Heacock, pastoral assistant officiating.

Interment, with U.S. Marine Corps honors, will follow at Cutchogue Cemetery.

DeFriest-Grattan Funeral Home is assisting the family.

Southold Town engineers and a representative for Congressman Lee Zeldin aren’t seeing eye-to-eye about parking requirements for a proposed $17.7 million project to re-nourish beaches along Hashamomuck Cove.

Town engineer Michael Collins has said he believes the federal government requires on-site parking due to public access requirements, which he said could only be accomplished by demolishing a home.

However, communications director for Mr. Zeldin’s spokesperson Jennifer DiSiena described those those stipulations were “rumors” that are “100 percent incorrect.”

The proposal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers includes creating three berms along the roughly 1.6 miles of coves in the Hashamomuck area and to fill them in with about 160,000 cubic yards of sand.

The project is split between the coves and requires some form of public access for all three stretches of beaches. While the east and west coves have public access options, the central cove — which Mr. Collins has described as the most important — lacks a way to get in.

While the Army Corps proposal states public access sites will require the establishment of “designated parking areas consistent with expected use,” Ms. DiSiena said the project will not require any parking lots.

“All that is required is a small alleyway/path for access, which is standard for public beach access in projects like this all over the country,” she said in an email Wednesday. “Our office has heard nothing but support from community residents regarding this project.”

Ms. DiSiena said there was a “big difference” between a parking lot that would require a house to be demolished and a parking area, which she said could be located on a nearby side street.

When reached for comment Wednesday, Mr. Collins described such an idea has a “non-starter.”

“We didn’t want to encourage pedestrian traffic across that road,” he said, adding that the proposal would still need an access easement to get on someone’s property.

“I just don’t see it as likely that some homeowner is going to say ‘Yeah, put a path next to my home,’ ” Mr. Collins said. “I stand by exactly what I said.”

Mr. Collins said the idea of using eminent domain, which was discussed on a conference call with the Army Corps about the project, would also be unpopular with the town and residents.

A public hearing on to discuss the project is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. at Southold Town Hall.

In addition to attending the public hearing, residents can also submit public their comments to:

Judith Johnson, project biologist, New England District Corps of Engineers, 696 Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742-2751

Or via email: Judith.L.Johnson@usace.army.mil

The public comment period will be closed on Sept. 30;.

Frank Massa, the Mattituck High School girls volleyball coach, was in the school’s weight room one day this past winter when athletic director Gregg Wormuth walked in.

“Frank, I hate to do this, but I’m going to ruin your day,” said Wormuth.

And then he did, conveying the news that Mattituck had been reclassified from a Class C team to Class B in girls volleyball. That means the Tuckers now find themselves in the same playoff pool as powerhouses Elwood/John Glenn and Bayport-Blue Point.

“It’s going to be a tough haul,” said Massa, who is in his 29th year as the team’s coach.

This class change could very well mark the end of Mattituck’s golden age in girls volleyball. The Tuckers have won Long Island championships in five of the past six years, earning them coveted trips to Glens Falls for the state championships each time.

“Winning the Long Island championship, that’s a great feeling right there,” Massa said. “I can’t say it’s anything but great.”

Last year Mattituck took a 17-4 record to Glens Falls. In the Tuckers’ final set, they topped Broadalbin Perth, 25-23, for their first win ever in the state semifinal pool. Afterward, Massa called it “the best volleyball feeling” he has experienced as a coach.

Mattituck has a 1-29 career record in state semifinals. It will be awfully hard for the Tuckers to add to that this year, with Glenn and Bayport serving as major roadblocks.

“That’s the way it is,” Massa said. “Can’t do anything about it.”

On the plus side, Mattituck has two All-League juniors coming off fine seasons — outside hitters Madison Osler and Kathryn Zaloom. Osler was the Suffolk County Class C Tournament MVP and the League VII Rookie of the Year.

Massa said both players have improved. Whereas last year they were subbed out when they rotated to the back line, both have raised their passing skills so that they may not come off the court.

Another senior, right-side hitter Grace Izzo, was also a starter last year. In addition, four other seniors have varsity experience: middle hitter Samantha Husak, setter Sarah Shannon, setter Kim Corso and libero Amanda Young. They are joined by nine new additions: outside hitters Sophie Jacobs, Ashley Burns and Macie Grathwohl, setters Julia Vasile-Cozzo, Ashley Chew and Cassidy Bertolas, right-side hitter/middle hitter Riley Hoeg, middle hitter Viki Harkin and libero Jamie Gaffga.

“We’re fairly solid,” Massa said. “I have a legit three or four girls who can take good swings at the ball.”

Mattituck’s focus is on picking up six league wins. That would send it back into the playoffs for a 13th straight year.

Massa said, “We’re going to give it our best shot as we have every year.”

An era clearly came to an end last fall when Greenport/Southold (5-7) lost to Mattituck in a Suffolk Class C semifinal. It’s now back to square one for the Clippers, who have graduated 15 players over the past two years.

“This is not rebuilding, this is a whole new construction,” said coach Mike Gunther.

He isn’t kidding. Three of his starters — freshmen Kathryn Kilcommons, Elizabeth Jernick and McKenna Demerest — were playing junior high school volleyball just seven months ago and the other three total only four years of varsity experience.

Gunther, who has coached volleyball since 1983 with the exception of a three-year break, doesn’t think he has ever had this much turnover before.

And yet, Gunther is delighted by the attitudes of the players. He said 10 to 13 players have trained in the weight room since the end of July. And through two-a-day practices, lifting and circuit training, “not a single complaint,” he said.

“This is definitely one of the hardest working teams I ever had,” he said. “What they’re going to do in the next four years is going to be interesting and fun.”

Returning senior starters Kylee DeFrese, a middle hitter, and Vivian Mantzapoulos, a libero, join senior outside hitter Paige Asimenios in the starting six along with the freshmen trio. Kilcommons will play outside hitter or middle hitter, Jernick is a right-side hitter and Demerest is a setter.

Making the jump to the varsity level are right-side hitter Charis Stoner, outside hitters Annette Newman and Caitlyn Macomber, middle hitter Emily Russell and setter Kathleen McCabe.

“You can’t help it,” Gunther said. “We’re going to look messy in the beginning. You can’t go with that little experience and not look messy.”

‘Meet our New Doctor!’ was the headline in the local paper introducing Dr. Lauren Carlson to the team at VCA Delmarva Animal Hospital in Berlin, Md. An MHS grad, Lauren has wanted to be an “animal doctor” since she was 6 years old and never let that dream slip away. She spent years away from her family pursuing her veterinary degree at Auburn University in Alabama and completing a rotating small animal internship in Albuquerque, N.M. Her mom, Dawn, is looking forward to having Lauren closer to home and Dawn’s family in Maryland. Congratulations and all the best!

It’s come to my attention that the way I worded news about Jacqueline Berkoski and Nick Cosgrove has been misconstrued as meaning they are engaged. Not true; they are dating. Also, Jacqueline graduated from the University of Vermont and is a licensed radiation therapist and certified phlebotomist. Apologies to all!

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that a child is diagnosed with cancer every two minutes? That’s means 25,000 kids worldwide this month alone, according to the St. Baldrick Foundation website. Much like wearing red focuses attention on heart disease, wearing gold this month will raise awareness of childhood cancer.

Have a good week!

In the searing heat and humidity, Jordan Fonseca turned the spin cycle on high.

Fonseca’s athleticism and dazzling runs, complete with razor-sharp cuts and lightning-quick spins off tacklers, dazzled on Friday night as he helped Greenport/Southold/Mattituck’s high school football team to a season-opening 40-0 blowout of Bishop McGann-Mercy at Harold T. Murray Memorial Field in Riverhead.

There wasn’t much Fonseca, or teammate Keegan Syron, didn’t do for the Porters as they scored two touchdowns apiece.

An athletic leaping grab for an interception by Fonseca set up Syron’s first touchdown when he bounced outside to the right and dashed 85 yards for the score 5 minutes, 10 seconds into the second quarter.

After Mercy failed to pick up a first down on the next possession, Fonseca showed his elusiveness, zigzagging his way to the end zone on a 65-yard punt return.

Those big plays were all that separated the teams as Greenport held a 14-0 lead at halftime.

Then the Porters pulled away. Syron capped the first series of the third quarter with a 12-yard touchdown run.

Fonseca added to the lead in the fourth with what had to be considered the play of the night. Taking the snap from center, the junior bolted to the right side and wowed his own bench by spinning off tacklers on the way to an electrifying 41-yard score.

On the kickoff that followed, Tashan Lawrence, drove a low bouncer off Mercy’s Alan Rodriguez and Lawrence fell onto the ball.

Greenport coach Jack Martilotta inserted players from the junior varsity team into the game in the fourth quarter. One of those players, freshman quarterback Ahkee Anderson, ran for his first varsity touchdown four plays after that kickoff for a 34-0 lead.

Anderson’s first career touchdown pass, with 4:01 left to play, came with some controversy. Scrambling to his left, Anderson floated a 44-yard scoring pass to Brandon Clark. It was Greenport’s only pass of the night, but the timing of it came into question with the win safe in hand for the Porters. One of Mercy’s assistant coaches, Mike Quick, apparently took exception to it and walked onto the field. Martilotta walked out toward him before officials interceded. After the game, though, both coaches were seen hugging and smiling.

Greenport’s defense limited Mercy to 126 yards of offense. Twelve of Mercy’s running plays went for negative yardage.

Both teams had quarterbacks make their first varsity starts — Greenport junior Sean Sepenoski and Mercy sophomore Ryan Razzano. Razzano (7-for-11, 73 yards, one interception) was taken out of the game in the second quarter to undergo a concussion protocol, but later returned.

The start of the game was pushed back a half-hour because of a modified heat alert on a day when the temperature was in the 90s.
