Long Island Museum benefits from trust By Phil Corso

page a8

Two landmark Three Village institutions have received a landmark gift. The long island Museum in stony Brook and the setauket Presbyterian Church were named beneficiaries of a $100 million charitable trust through the Kingsley Gillespie Charitable Trust, giving both groups a financial boost from a family that loved its community. The gift carried on the philanthropic contributions that both the Kingsley and Kenyon Gillespie families have made, keeping the arts, community service and faith strong. The charitable trust came as a result of Kenyon Gillespie’s death in March 2015, which built upon the success of his father Kingsley Gillespie and

mother Doris Kenyon, who both died in the 1980s. Every year, the beneficiaries will receive slices of the income earned by the $100 million trust, bringing in millions of dollars in gift money. Neil Watson, executive director of the long island Museum, said the gift came at an exciting time as it approaches 80 years since the museum’s inception. “This is a very significant gift for us — one of the biggest in our history,” he said. “it allows us to chart our own future.” Watson said the charitable gift would allow the long island Museum to better maintain its 14 buildings, balance its $2.4 million budget and provide better programming for the North shore community. looking ahead, he said

the museum would be working on launching new programs to attract new visitors, reopening the facility’s gift shop at its headquarters and investing in capital improvements to its carriage museum, which houses a 125-person meeting room dedicated to the Gillespie name. “The board of trustees and the museum’s staff are overwhelmed by the Gillespies’ generosity,” Watson said in a statement. “This tremendous gift strengthens the liM’s existing endowments and solidifies the museum’s financial foundation. We are forever indebted to the Gillespie family for their foresight and their belief in the important of the liM and its place as a cultural leader in our community.” The setauket Presbyterian Church, founded in 1660,

will also benefit considerably through the charitable trust. The institution, located on the village green at Caroline Avenue in setauket, has been a longtime home for more than 500 people of faith. Doris Kenyon was born in 1900 in Brooklyn, but spent summers as a child in old Field before moving there in the 1930. she had a lifelong affection for the Three Village community, the long island Museum said in a press release. she was married to Kingsley Gillespie, a graduate of the Massachusetts institute of Technology, and the two built their family in the Three Village area before retiring to Florida. other beneficiaries of the charitable trust include MiT and various stamford, Conn., institutions.

Setauket siblings promote fire safety through Red Cross By GiSeLLe BARkLey

The Spaccarelli siblings don’t argue often. But when they do, it’s about preparing people for calamities like house fires through their fire safety programs at the Red Cross. Last year, Joe Spaccarelli joined the Red Cross after seven children died in a house fire in Midwood, Brooklyn in March 2015. According to Spaccarelli, the family’s hot plate malfunctioned and the only working smoke alarm was in the basement of the home. The incident was enough to make Spaccarelli quit his job of 27-years to work full-time for the Red Cross as a lead for its home fire safety program. Spaccarelli started volunteering for the Red Cross during Superstorm Sandy, in 2012. “When that happened, I lifted an eyebrow going ‘huh, it must be a very worthy cause,’” said Lori-Ann, Spaccarelli’s younger sister, about her brother quitting his job to work for the Red Cross. Lori-Ann Spaccarelli, of Farmingdale, joined the organization as a volunteer last year. She became one of the Long Island volunteer leads for the Home Fire Safety program, after her brother left the position in September to be the program director for Get Alarmed New York City. The Red Cross volunteer and elementary school art teacher in Syosset school dis-

trict said she couldn’t “say no” to helping a program that her brother loved. The Red Cross’s Home Fire Safety and Get Alarmed New York City programs don’t only focus on educating people about fire safety and the importance of fire and smoke alarms. Volunteers also install smoke alarms free of charge. The fire safety program aims to reduce home fire-related deaths by 25 percent. The goal of Get Alarmed NYC is to establish 100,000 smoke alarms in the NYC region within two years. The siblings said they install three to four alarms per home. While they said some homes don’t have an alarm at all, other homes don’t always have one that is working. “When we go into a lot of these homes, it’s either that the smoke detectors aren’t working, the batteries are missing or the batteries are low,” Joe Spaccarelli said. “It beeps, they take the battery out.” Spaccarelli added that some residents never get a chance to replace the batteries. Forty percent of the time, fire-related deaths and injuries occur when there isn’t a working alarm in the residence. According to Red Cross CEO Elizabeth Barker, the Red Cross responds nationally to around 70,000 home fires a year. Home fire preparedness isn’t simply about adding smoke detectors and informing people about escape plans, but also about educating young children.

Lori-Ann Spaccarelli started the Pillowcase Project in her school. The program teaches young kids how to get out and cope with home fires and other hazardous. The Disney-sponsored program began after Hurricane Katrina, when college students in Louisiana packed various items in their pillowcases before heading to a shelter. According to the Spaccarellis, the program puts children at ease during a tragedy, which also helps parents remain calm. “The children exiting those [Pillowcase Project] lessons come out with much more confidence and conviction when they go home to let their parents

know,” Joe Spaccarelli said. “They know what to do and they’re comfortable.” While the duo didn’t have any prior experience running these kinds of programs, helping others is in their blood. Growing up, the Spaccarellis said their parents regularly gave back to their community, which encouraged the siblings to help others as well. For the siblings, helping others is a family affair and Barker said the pair brings that same vibe to the Red Cross. “Usually what I have is a husbandwife duo,” Barker said. “It’s been really fun to have this brother-sister dynamic to work with. It makes it feel more like a family.”

Stony Brook experts examine whalers’ stories A lecture hall at Stony Brook University transported those in attendance back in time between the 17th and 19th centuries, when Long Island mariners left home for years of their lives, set sail into the deep, dark sea, and braved impossible odds in their voyage to hunt for whales. “Long Island Whalers: Navigating a Changing World,” on April 15, was an allday, open-to-the-public event that offered new and exciting research on an oftenoverlooked, hugely important part of Long Island’s heritage. So rather than read passages from “Moby Dick,” a panel of experts in varying fields of history and archaeology spoke at length about the more in-depth aspects of the whaling industry. “This allows us to be on the front lines of sharing material, as it’s coming hot off the presses,” said Jennifer Anderson, an associate professor of Atlantic history at SBU and co-organizer of the event. “We live on this incredibly diverse island, from really urban and suburban areas to beautiful nature and agricultural history, and it’s easy to forget that there’s this really long human history of people making use of the maritime resources of Long Island — not just going to the beach, but actually deriving their livelihood from the waters surrounding us.” With topics that ranged from the

historical preservation of an important yet forgotten African American whaler named Pyrrhus Concer, and the role of race then and now, to the foreign and economic impact that came from sea travel, it wasn’t difficult to see the relevance this far-gone time has in 2016. “This history is the basis of the modern Long Island society,” said speaker Frank Turano, who teaches Long Island environmental history at the college. “[We’re] built upon what happened in the past. That’s the key thing for people to understand; these are not just some quaint activities.” Starting at 9 a.m. and ending around 6 p.m., the room was consistently full of people, all engaged in the presentations that followed. In particular, Robert T. Chase, a history professor in attendance, had a significant connection to the event’s subject matter, as a direct descendant of Owen Chase, First Mate aboard the Essex whaler. That ship’s wreckage by way of a behemoth sperm whale, and Owen Chase’s firsthand account of it, was the inspiration for Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick” and the subject of Nathaniel Philbrick’s bestseller “In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex.” However, Robert Chase said he was more interested in the broader interracial movement going on at the time. According to him, people of color were central to the role in the industry, and often not talked

about. “Sadly, they were the first to die because they were the least fed on the boat,” he said. “It’s really wonderful that this conference explores their history [further].” In between panels, Stephen N. Sanfilippo sang the mid-1800s songs and recited the poetry of the Long Island whalemen. A teacher at Maine Maritime Academy, Sanfilippo’s been playing this music for 40 years. Rather than choose songs and

poems about on-board debauchery and sea fights, he instead wanted to challenge the stereotypes surrounding the whalers. “I wanted to show that at least some whale men were mindful and sentimental,” Sanfilippo said. “I hope all of you will immerse yourselves in, what we have come to see as, the extraordinary lives that were, in their own time, the ordinary lives of ordinary Long Islanders.”

North Shore nursing facility marks 150th anniversary BY Alex PetroSKi

For a century and a half, the name St. Johnland has been synonymous with helping people from all walks of life. Established in 1866, the Society of St. Johnland is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2016. In 1866, the Society served as a home for veterans and orphans from New York City, but eventually developed into a selfsustaining industrial village. Today, the St. Johnland Nursing Center is located on the North Shore near Smithtown Bay in Kings Park and serves as a long-term skilled nursing facility caring for about 300 people every day. Over the course of 150 years, the role of the facility has changed, but their mission remains the same, according to a press release about the anniversary: “To create a caring and supportive environment committed to the highest standards of quality health care … to uphold the principles of human dignity and worth … affirm the right of every individual to maintain the optimum quality of life.” St. Johnland Director of Development Cathie Wardell, who has been at the nursing center for 13 years, reflected on the impact St. Johnland has had on the community and people in need. “The level of care for the people whose

care is entrusted to us is very high and it’s amazing to see everyday,” Wardell said in a phone interview. The nursing center shifted its focus from children to the elderly in the 1950s. Today, their primary focuses are providing care for people with Alzheimer’s, dementia and traumatic brain injuries. “The fact that this institution has survived and persisted for 150 years focusing on different demographics, the fact that we are 98 to 99-percent full all the time, that we have evolved over the years to make the changing needs of the community with our specialty units and adult day care programs is significant and noteworthy,” Wardell added. In honor of the anniversary, the society will hold four events during 2016. For all of June, historical photographs of St. Johnland will be on display at the Kings Park Library. On June 18, people who grew up at the facility around 70 years ago will gather for a reunion. On Oct. 27, a dinner will be held at Watermill in Kings Park to honor the Fire Department and EMT Squad, and on Nov. 18, town historian Brad Harris will deliver a lecture on the history of the Society. For more information about the anniversary or any of the events, call 631663-2457 or visit www.stjohnland.org.

St. Johnland Nursing Center in Kings Park is celebrating a milestone this year.

Transgender rules in place at school By Elana Glowatz

One school district is standardizing the way it serves transgender students. Port Jefferson school board members approved a policy at their meeting a week ago that puts rules on the books for how district officials should interact with and accommodate transgender students, including on the way those students are referenced in school records and what bathroom and locker room facilities they can use. The Gay-Straight Alliance student club helped the board of education’s policy committee craft the policy proposal, which was first introduced to the public in March before being approved on April 12. For students who want to be identified by a gender other than the one associated with their sex at birth now have a right, under the new school district rules, to meet with their principal to discuss names, pronouns and designations in their school records; restroom and locker room access; and participation in

sports, among other topics. They could change those gender designations in their records if they provide two official forms of identification indicating the new gender and legal proof of a change in name or gender. Other school districts on the North Shore have attempted to make rules for transgender students in recent years, but faced backlash from the community. In Port Jefferson, however, the policy was presented and approved at two meetings without much fanfare and with no dissent. Superintendent Ken Bossert said in March that he attributed the quiet to Port Jefferson officials using community input to create the policy and to the policy committee starting the effort on its own, rather than as a response to the needs of a specific student. “That can be very sensitive when the community is fully aware of children who are involved in the discussion and that’s what I really wanted to avoid here,” he said. The new policy, in fact, dictates that a student’s transgender status should be

What’s changing with new transgender policy • transgender or gender nonconforming students can request a meeting with their principal to talk about their needs

• Gender designations can be changed in school records if documentation is provided • Port Jefferson school officials must accept the gender identity of any student • students’ transgender status must be kept as private as possible

kept as private as possible, apart from necessary communication to staffers “so they may respond effectively and appropriately to issues arising in the school.” It also requires the district to accept any student’s gender identity. “There is no medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment threshold that students must meet in order to have their gender identity recognized and respected,” the policy reads. “Every effort should be made to use the preferred names and pronouns consistent with a student’s gender identity. While inadvertent slips or honest mistakes may occur, the intentional and persistent refusal to respect a student’s gender identity is a violation of school district policy.” When the policy was proposed in March, Gay-Straight Alliance President Emma Martin said the policy “could be the difference between whether a student feels safe in the school, whether their learning is hindered or it’s enriched, whether they graduate high school or even if their life could be saved.” The high school senior expressed appreciation that the policy would be in place after she graduates and school board Trustee Adam DeWitt, head of the policy committee, called her club’s help crucial to the process.

a new school policy regarding transgender students includes information about bathroom accommodations.

“Your contributions and the students’ contributions as well as the staff were critical in the wording … so your legacy and the legacy of the students and the staff that helped us create this will live on for a long time.” Accommodation for transgender people has been an issue on the national stage in recent days, as North Carolina faces backlash for its own new set of rules that, among other provisions, blocks people from using a public restroom designated for a different sex, regardless of their gender identity.

Bonner proposes ban to curb drug use in youth By GisEllE BarklEy

Councilwoman Jane Bonner (CRocky Point) announced her new step to combat drug use during a recent drug forum in neighboring Rocky Point: tighter rules on hookah lounges and smoke and vape shops in Brookhaven Town. If the town approves the councilwoman’s proposal, prospective shop owners could not establish their businesses within 1,000 feet of family- or child-oriented institutions or various public places. Those locations include educational and religious facilities, ballet and karate studios and swimming pools. The ban wouldn’t apply to existing lounges and shops that have proper permits and certificates of occupancy. The idea isn’t simply to deter students from purchasing items from the store, but also to prevent them from using the items to smoke drugs like marijuana. During the drug forum, John Venza, vice president of Adolescent Services for Outreach, said some vaporizers can ac-

‘One of the things that works against us is the emerging technology that makes it easier for students.’ — Michael Ring

commodate various forms of marijuana, including dabs, a wax-like form of the drug that has higher levels of THC. According to Venza, marketing has also changed over the years to appeal to a younger audience. Bonner not only agreed with Venza, but went a step further. “We all know that those attractive signs that lure the kids in are the very same reason the government banned Camel advertising,” Bonner said during the forum. She added that parents need to keep a closer eye on their kids by observing their social media accounts, going through their phones and having family dinners. Fighting substance abuse is a top priority throughout the North Shore. But according to Rocky Point Superintendent of Schools Michael Ring, it’s an uphill battle with new devices on the market. “One of the things that works against us is the emerging technology that makes it easier for students to be brought in and grow that into abuse,” Ring said. But Rocky Point Smoke & Vape Shop employee Alex Patel said Bonner’s proposal might be a good idea with little reward. According to the Rocky Point resident and father of two, parents have purchased vaporizers and accessories for their children. Patel said the shop isn’t legally allowed to sell to residents who are under 21 years old, but this isn’t the only way students are acquiring the devices.

shop employee alex Patel says he’s seen parents purchase vaporizers or accessories from the rocky Point smoke & Vape shop.

“Online, I see people buying left and right,” Patel said about vaporizers and similar devices. “It’s much cheaper online because they’re buying in bulk. So what they’re paying in the store $50, online, they can get it for $20.” He added that it’s easier for students online because some sites don’t verify the buyer’s age, so the proposal may not-

stop underage residents from finding what they’re looking for. North Shore Youth Council Executive Director Janene Gentile said she hasn’t seen an increase in these shops near her organization, but “I believe in this bill.” Residents can voice their opinions on the proposal at the May 12 public hearing at 6 p.m. in Brookhaven Town Hall.

County could block cleaners from using ‘organic’ label BY PHiL COrSO

One North Shore lawmaker is cleaning up the language of Suffolk County’s dry cleaners. Dry cleaning businesses will no longer be allowed to advertise their services as organic when describing the solvents or methods used in production, thanks to recently approved legislation from Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). And if they get caught, business owners could face fines of $500 on the first offense to $1,000 on the second, the legislator said. “A consumer chooses an ‘organic’ cleaning method with the belief that this option is better for his or her health and our environment,” Hahn said in a statement. “Without a universally accepted definition of what constitutes organic services, consumers go through the wringer when making their decisions based upon subjective standards that, in some cases, can be completely contrary to their intentions.” Under Majority Leader Hahn’s bill, no professional garment cleaning establishment operating in the county will be allowed to describe its services as “organic” in advertising or signage. In a statement, Hahn said the term organic is found in many industries, including dry cleaning, and has come

TBR

under increased public scrutiny as regulators have not established clear criteria governing the word’s usage in consumer goods and services. “It is very important that customers understand terms used in dry cleaning advertisements,” said Beth Fiteni, owner of Green Inside and Out Consulting, an advocacy organization committed to empowering the public to find healthier alternatives to common toxins, also in a statement. “Organic in this context is a technical term, and does not mean chemicalfree. This legislation in Suffolk County helps address possible confusion.” In her legislation, Hahn said one of the most harmful chemicals used in the dry cleaning industry, perchloroethylene — also known as perc — contains carbon molecules. Carbon is a naturally occurring element and perc is sometimes advertised as being organic, despite its detriment to the environment. “In some instances there is a significant disconnect between the term organic that has become part of the vernacular and the scientific definition used by industry,” Hahn said. “I want to ensure that Suffolk consumers are making decisions based on intention rather than semantics.” The state Department of Environmental Conservation has already approved

several alternatives to using perc solvent for use in non-vented, closed-loop dry cleaning machines that are equipped with a refrigerated condenser, conform to local fire codes and meet the additional specifications required by the alternative solvent manufacturer. Suffolk’s bill will be nullified should a

standard be adopted by state or federal regulatory agencies. The only thing preventing the bill from becoming official is the absence of a signature from County Executive Steve Bellone (D). Once signed, cleaners will have approximately 60 days to come into compliance.

Hauppauge group taking steps for good May 7 By AlEx PETRoski

The pain of losing a child may never go away, but it can be soothed by the support of others who know what it is like. Parents will have that opportunity on May 7 when the Hauppaugebased nonprofit organization Angela’s House, which was founded in 1992, hosts the first Angel of Hope: A Walk to Remember. The walk will take place Mother’s Day weekend at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, where the nonprofit’s Angel of Hope statue has stood since 2008 as a comforting symbol to parents who have lost children. Angela’s House assists families caring for children with special health care needs that are medically fragile, chronically ill or living with a life-threatening illness, according to their website. Founder and Executive Director Bob Policastro said the event would be a nonreligious, yet spiritual gathering. “I would say different from our support group or even a counselor, the difficulty of those environments [is] you have to be ready and have to talk about your pain and that kind of brings about peace as you talk it through,” Policastro said in a phone interview Friday about the walk and what those interested in attending should expect. “This

one I feel has kind of an easier tone to it in the sense that you’re coming to a ceremony and the comfort of seeing others that have also gone through all of this will give people great peace knowing that they’re not alone. They can talk to people if they want to but if they don’t want to that’s fine.” The purpose of the event is not to raise funds, according to Policastro, though there is a $25 charge per person to participate. Policastro said the date was a strategic choice by Angela’s House trustees and volunteers. “Mother’s Day is always one of those potentially difficult times of the year,” he said. “That will be a good way to kind of help try to bring them peace, almost like a support group. To get together and be around others that have also experienced loss, it’s very comforting.” Policastro and his wife Angie started the foundation after the death of their daughter Angela. The Angel of Hope is a reference to the book “The Christmas Box” by Richard Paul Evans in which a character frequently visits the grave of her daughter, which is marked with an angel statue. Statues like the one in Eisenhower Park popped up across the country after the release of the book in 1993, Policastro said. He was instrumental in bringing

the statue to Eisenhower Park. The walk is less than a mile long and will follow a path around Salisbury Lake in the park, concluding at the statue. The New Apostolic Church and the Willow Interfaith Woman’s Choir

will lead those in attendance in a song, and a nondenominational spiritual ceremony will also be held. Those seeking more information are instructed to visit www.angelashouse. org/angel-of-hope/.

The oldest house in Rocky Point has once again opened its doors to visitors, offering a peek at the history of the town spanning almost 300 years, during Saturday tours of the home, which acts as a museum run by the Rocky Point Historical Society. It’s the third season in a row that tours are being offered, according to society president Natalie Aurucci Stiefel. Built in 1721 by Noah Hallock, a descendant of English settlers, the house has sat at the end of Hallock Landing Road mostly unchanged. It still has the original wood shingles and a red tin roof on the exterior. Inside, original wide-planked wooden floors creak underfoot, and a trap door in an upstairs hallway reveals a staircase that leads to rooms once used by slaves. Eight generations of Hallocks lived in the house over the centuries, including Noah Jr., William and Josiah Hallock, who all served in the Revolutionary War. The last Hallock to live there was Sylvester, who sold it in 1964 to the Via Cava family who owned it until 2011. The Historical Society took ownership of the home in 2013 and turned it into a museum, showcasing a variety of household artifacts native to the home, including furniture, kitchen items and even toys once played with by Hallock children. Each room in the house is dedicated to a particular aspect of either the life of the Hallocks or the history of Rocky Point and the surrounding areas, including a room dedicated to farming, complete with antique tools and photos of the farms that once grew rye and raised dairy cattle nearby. The schoolhouse room offers a glimpse into what school was like for Hallock children and their contemporaries. Visitors can even walk around the block to the Hallock family cemetery where

at least 40 Hallocks are buried, including Bethia, Noah’s wife, who died in 1766. Another room is dedicated to Rocky Point’s ties with radio history, including artifacts from RCA, which operated out of a transmitting station just down the road from the house off of Rocky Point-Yaphank Road. Tours are conducted by trained docents such as Nancy Pav of Rocky Point, who was leading the tours on Saturday. Pav stressed the importance of preservation. “If we don’t preserve old houses like this one, people will tear them down and build monstrous vinyl palaces,” Pav said. “We are preserving the history of a house that was in the same family from 1721 to the 1960s. It’s extremely unusual.” Stiefel said that new artifacts on display this season include the wedding album of Sylvester Hallock and his second wife Josephine and photos of the now-abandoned Rocky Point drive-in movie theater. Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) praised the society for offering another season of tours, especially because of the awareness they promote. “Rocky Point is a mecca of history and if it wasn’t for the volunteers, this history would not be preserved,” she said. “The tours help to pass down interest and advocacy. If there’s no one to take care of it, they will be lost forever.” Stiefel refers to the Hallock house as a “precious gem” and added she is proud of the work the society’s volunteers do with the house tours. “They are very dedicated to Rocky Point’s history, which is fascinating,” she said. “We are so happy to share it with the community.” The Noah Hallock house, located at 172 Hallock Landing Road, is opened for tours April through December, on Saturdays from 1 to 3 p.m. For group tours or more information, call 631-744-1778.

OPINION Caught on camera

Stock photo

North Shore residents cast their votes for the 2016 primary elections this past Tuesday.

EDITORIAL

Of primary concern

As the primary season in New York comes to a close, with real estate mogul Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton winning the night for the Republicans and the Democrats, respectively, one of the more lingering questions is whether to have open or closed primaries. New York has a closed primary system, meaning only voters who are registered with a certain political party may vote in that party’s primary. That has left millions of independent voters out of the race entirely, making many call instead for an open primary, in which voters are not required to declare an affiliation before casting a vote in a single party’s primary race. Those independents did have methods to participate in Tuesday’s primary, if they so desired. Their deadlines to register with the Board of Elections passed in October. Our editorial board does not support an open primary. People not affiliated with an institution should not have equal rights to its members to decide how that institution should run and who should lead it. An open primary also leaves room for abuse. The voting system in New York — and nationwide — has already seen its fair share of that, with issues like dead people somehow casting a ballot. In an open primary, less honest people would vote for the weakest candidate in one party just so the nominee they support in the opposite party has a better shot at winning. That’s not fair and it’s not the way our system should work. New York’s primary voting system is best in its current form. Let’s leave the party votes in the hands of its actual members.

TO ThE EDITOR: I recently had the joy of appearing in traffic court. Literally hundreds of people, one by one, appear before the judges in multiple courtrooms to plead their cases, trying to avoid an $80 or more penalty, because a car registered in their name was caught on camera not abiding 100% by the letter of the law. It was made perfectly clear, time and again, that the court didn’t care who drove the car. The owner of the car may have been guilty of nothing more than letting someone who needed it borrow his car. If someone uses your pencil to stab someone or your medicine to overdose themselves, are you at fault? If you give your pen to someone who uses it to sign a mortgage, are you liable to pay it? Also, the judges make it perfectly clear that this is not a question whether public safety was compromised in any way. If the camera caught you going one mile per hour over the legal limit, not coming to a complete stop before turning right on a red light, or if you stopped your car one inch over a white line on the road, you were guilty, even if no other cars were in sight or affected. No exceptions. No common sense. No mercy. No circumstances considered. The question was never whether the action was perfectly safe or sensible, only whether it was according to the letter of the law. Everything was perfectly legal

Political games TO ThE EDITOR: While the former top senator, a Republican, and top assemblyman, a Democrat, sit in jail collecting their equal opportunity pensions, the public awaits ethical reform from New York’s government. Specifically, through outside employment, inadequate disclosure rules, and lack of transparency, some members of both parties, including those in the highest positions, have made decisions or deals that have served their own ambitions and bank accounts, rather than ours. The members of the Assembly

and completely unfair, unjust and unreasonable. In none of the cases before the judge could I imagine a policeman or traffic cop giving a ticket for such infractions, all of them trivial. In its graciousness, the court lets you know no points are charged to your driver’s license, and you can have extra time to pay if you don’t have the money in hand. Most people plead for time till they get their next paychecks or social security checks, but still there are hundreds waiting for one of six cashier windows to be free to take their money. (I waited an hour, which is why hundreds of others just mail in the fine and don’t waste a morning at court to be heard perfunctorily, ignored, and summarily sentenced.) Newly developed driverless cars,

which are programmed to obey all traffic laws meticulously, are involved in twice as many accidents as cars with human drivers who exercise their judgment. The driverless cars are never at fault legally — they just weren’t able to think and adjust to circumstances. Typically, they are involved in more rear-end collisions and fender-benders, which is also true of drivers paranoid about being caught on camera. The bottom line: cameras at intersections have nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with finding ways to fleece the citizens. Just another reason why people have lost respect for government.

and Senate serve a two-year term of office. The job is considered part time, with a base salary of $79,500 plus individual committee adjustments, etc. They haven’t voted themselves a raise since 1998. One might suspect that they don’t want a raise because it gives them the excuse to hold additional jobs and receive money from outside sources. That’s where the trouble starts. Periodically, they have made limp gestures toward developing a more stringent code of ethics, without any significant results. If they can’t put their collective brains together and come up with a real code of ethics that puts

political crooks behind bars and bars pensions to those convicted of office-related crimes, perhaps we the citizens from the left, right, and center can put aside all political differences in order to create a code of ethics for them. After being drawn up, the code could be explained through the media, and all candidates running for office would be asked to sign onto the code well before election day, giving voters a clear understanding of the candidates’ commitment to real ethical reform or more of the same.

Between you and me By Leah S. Dunaief

his is in the nature of a small confession. Until this past Tuesday, I have never, to my best recollection, voted in a primary. So I guess this time offered the most exciting possibilities that drew me to the voting booth. And for that injection of enthusiasm into what has traditionally been an overlong and boring presidential election process, I guess that we ought to thank Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. They have presented us with some

wonderful visual image that I think about it or rely on it with some regularity. Do you remember the Venn diagram? It has two adjoining circles with a varying amount of overlap in the middle, and the theory can be applied to almost any circumstance. Let’s start with sports, where passions are high, but the consequences of any single event or season are, relatively speaking, much lower. Red Sox and Yankee fans would seem to have almost nothing in common, with two circles drawn as far away on a page as humanly possible. But each year there is at least one game where a Red Sox fan might root for a Yankee and a Yankee might root for a member of the Red Sox. Yes, think about it. The all-star game determines the home field advantage for the World Series. If the result of the all-star game was on the

line and a member of the Red Sox could win the game with a home run, wouldn’t a Yankee fan begrudgingly cheer for that player in the hope that if our team made it to a seventh game of the World Series, the game would be at Yankee Stadium? There, we might get to see our team win a title instead of in a National League park. From the passion of sports to the passions in our lives, a Venn diagram can also be useful in affairs of the heart. Let’s say you’re dating and you’re exploring similarities in your partner. Do you like the same food, books and movies? Do you have the same view on the importance of family, the role you might play in a community or the value of vacation time? While all of these questions might lead to a better understanding of where you have common ground, marriage counselors or even dating services might suggest that circles

with a perfect overlap might not create a perfect couple. After all, some differences or nonoverlapping spaces might make for a refreshing extension of our own circles. Maybe, as part of these relationships, we look for ways to expand the circles that define what we know and have experienced. Even relationships that have ended can help shape ways to find common ground with someone else. Then there’s politics. We will need to pick a president in November. Do any of the candidates overlap with your circle? Maybe, instead of looking at the breadth of their campaigns, you can consider the depth or importance of any one issue, extending that middle ground into a threedimensional space. Maybe your vote will reflect whatever common ground you can find on a single issue, while rolling your eyes at the differences on

real options instead of the usual Tweedledum and Tweedledee candidates. Whatever happens from this point on, New York state has uncharacteristically played a significant part in this election. Until April, by the time we here have our primaries, the dust has usually cleared and our outcomes haven’t particularly registered on the political Richter scale. This time was different. Yes, advance polling had projected Trump and Hillary Clinton victories. But the wide margin for both was a major additional factor. With just a few precincts to report, Trump had won 60 percent of the vote in a three-way race; and Clinton won 58 percent against Sanders, holding together a wide coalition of voters more typical of the national voter profile. Some other interesting points: John Kasich came in a solid second with 25 percent; the only district Trump lost was Manhattan, his home, which went to Kasich; and Ted Cruz was a distant third which was predictable, if for no other reason than after his “New

York values” comment earlier in the contest. I have often thought that the race for president goes on far too long but I read an article recently in The New York Times that gave me a different perspective. The writer suggested that the contest could be compared to a job interview, in this case the most powerful job in the world, and that we were the employers, which as voters I guess we are. So in this long interviewing process, we get a chance to see how the candidates react when in friendly domains, when under pressure from unfriendly spectators and when they are in an adversarial role, attacking each other. These are all simulations of the job they are after, and their reactions are revealing. We also get to judge how well they manage a complex campaign over a considerable period of time. Few would disagree that the stark contrast between the campaigns of Obama and Clinton contributed to Clinton’s loss in 2008. Besides being president and commander in chief, the winner had darn well

be a good manager. Although he won the election in 1976 against Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter will go down in history as one of the U.S. presidents’ worst managers who tried in vain to micromanage throughout his four years. Ronald Reagan handily beat him in 1980 and could be known as the delegator in chief for the way he managed his administration until he became ill. Trump and Clinton, if they wind up going head-to-head in November, also offer stark contrasts. Regardless of whom one intends to vote for, few would deny that Clinton has the most experience in government and Trump has the least. This is the great advantage for Clinton and paradoxically the great advantage for Trump. People who are dissatisfied with the direction our country is headed — or their own lives — or look at government in Washington as abdication of responsibility, see Trump as an unsullied outsider capable of shaking out the deadwood and turning things around. Can he do it? He continually refers to himself as a “deal maker,”

A concept from my grammar school world still applies today. so many other topics. Ultimately, it seems that the most effective politician might not be someone who wants to fight for us, as Hillary Clinton suggests in her campaign mantra. And it might not be someone who wants to make America great again, as Donald Trump urges. Instead, it might be someone who can find the greatest common ground with other politicians and with other Americans. We know that the best policies for Iowa likely won’t be the best for New York, but there must be ways to get New Yorkers and Iowans to find a national leader who can represent all of us — and not just those who are part of our inner circle.

Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have presented us with some real options. capable of making the United States great again. And Russian President Putin likes him, another first for an American presidential election. Clinton has the problem of being “old goods,” familiar as the paintings on the wall that go unappreciated with time. And for various reasons, people profess not to like her, as if that is a criterion for the highest office. Do they have to like her? In fact I have met her half-adozen times and unlike the public face she presents from the podium, she struck me as not only likeable but also delightful and quite human. On the other hand, do people trust her to reflect their values and do the right thing when under great stress? That is the biggest voter question, and in New York state Tuesday the answer came back a resounding “yes.” Stay tuned.

Middle Country . . . . 15 Commack . . . . . . . . . 10 By Desirée Keegan

Middle Country made quick work of Commack Tuesday, scoring five unanswered goals in the first five minutes of the contest, and despite losing its opening power, came away with a 15-10 win. “We were kind of flat — there wasn’t a lot of intensity and it definitely showed,” Middle Country head coach Lindsay Dolson said. “It has to do with our warm-up, and certain teams they take lightly. We’ve talked about it — not to do that. Good thing we didn’t get caught today, but it definitely could’ve happened.”

After gaining possession off the draw, junior midfielder Jamie Ortega beat out two defenders and stuffed the ball into the left side of the cage for the early advantage just 30 seconds in. She won possession off the draw again, and scoring next was junior midfielder Ava Barry. The two connected for the third goal of the game, when Ortega passed to Barry, who dumped it in up front. “Jamie’s been doing an awesome job on defense and offense for us,” Dolson said. “She definitely leads the team in that aspect. She’s doing a great job.” At the 20:42 mark, Commack was fouled for shooting space, and freshman midfielder Sophie Alois raced to the center of the field in front of the crease and scored to the left side for the 4-0 lead. Ortega and Barry connected for the final goal before Commack put its first point on the board, when Ortega couldn’t find an open lane and moved outside and away from a defender to be able to send a quick pass to Barry in front of the cage. “We’re good at moving the ball around and finding the open girl quick because a defender comes on her, but on defense we could’ve crashed earlier,” Barry said. Defense is where the Mad Dogs struggled most. Once Commack began winning possession off the draw, Middle Country wasn’t able to turn the ball over and the Cougars collected points as a result. By the end of the first half, Middle Country still had a substantial lead, 11-5, and jumped out of the gate again to start the second half, scoring three unanswered goals before Commack countered at the 13:33 mark, and scored twice more to trail 14-8. Middle Country junior midfielder Amy Hofer found the back of the cage for the

Mad Dogs’ final goal of the game, but Commack scored three more. Ortega finished the game with four goals and three assists, while Barry ended with a hat trick and two assists. Twin juniors Amanda and Rachel Masullo added two goals apiece, and Barry’s younger sister Jen, a freshman, tacked on a goal and an assist. “We need to win, and we can’t always win by playing the way we played today,” Ortega said, who added that it’s been difficult playing without her sister, Nikki, the team’s leading scorer last season. “We lost a lot of important players from last year, but we’re still close, we’re still a family and we connect. It helps.” Her coach is still seeing improvement though, as the mixed team, with seven freshmen and seven juniors, looks to reach

the county finals level that last year’s did. “They definitely have been growing and going in the right direction,” Dolson said. “Today, I think, was a little bit of a setback, but hopefully we’ll pick up from this in practice tomorrow and get ready for Northport on Thursday. They’re going to come with very aggressive defense. We need to handle that pressure and we have to put together a whole game.” Middle Country takes on Northport Thursday at 4 p.m. Barry said that if her Mad Dogs can limit the turnovers, get to the ground balls and continue to work on the draws, they’d have a good shot against Northport. “I feel pretty strongly,” she said. “If we practice hard tomorrow and we warm up strong, we’ll play a better game.”
