Town of Brookhaven’s Division of Veterans Services will be holding a food drive for vets in need from June 11 to 29. Last year’s food drive provided more than 300 bags of food to veterans and their families and was so successful that the town decided to make it an annual drive. “Brookhaven Town is home to veterans who have selflessly and courageously served our country,” Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said. “Many of them need assistance, and when provided with an opportunity, Brookhaven residents always rise to the occasion to help our neighbors in need. I want to thank the Division of Veterans Services and our local VFW representatives for working together to organize this initiative.” Drop off points for the food drive are: •Brookhaven Town Hall at 1 Independence Hill in Farmingville
•Henrietta Acampora Recreation Center at 39 Montauk Highway in Blue Point •Brookhaven Town Highway Department at 1140 Old Town Road in Coram •Rose Caracappa Senior Center at 739 Route 25A in Mount Sinai Suggested nonperishables items include canned soups, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, cereal, oatmeal and rice. If you would like to find out more information about this food drive or other services provided by the Division of Veterans Services call 631-451-6574. “Brookhaven veterans and their families have sacrificed so much, and it is gratifying to know this drive will provide them with some much-needed relief,” said Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Ridge). “I encourage residents to donate to this very worthy program and for our veterans to contact the town’s veteran services to find out what benefits you may be entitled to.”

Declining enrollment creates challenges for school districts BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
TBR NEWS MEDIA
A shadow hangs above the heads of Long Island’s school districts: The specter of declining enrollment. “From last year, not a whole lot has changed, enrollment is still declining,” Barbara Graziano, the manager of the Office of School Planning and Research for Western Suffolk BOCES said. “What a lot of districts are seeing is there is a significant displacement between their graduating classes being larger than the following year’s kindergarten classes.” School enrollment across Suffolk County has been in decline for nearly a decade. In last year’s annual report on enrollment, Western Suffolk BOCES, a regional educational service agency, said there was a 9.1 percent overall decline in enrollment in townships from Huntington to Smithtown from 2010 to 2016. Between the 2006-07 and 2016-17 school years, Long Island saw a 6.2 percent decline in enrollment, according to Robert Lowry, the deputy director for advocacy, research and communications at the New York State Council of School Superintendents. Statewide enrollment declined 4.2 percent in the same period. Nearly every school district on Suffolk County’s North Shore has seen at least some decline, and the trend can have tangible effects on a district’s long- and short-term planning. “Declining enrollment may push a district toward reconsidering staffing and whether it’s necessary to close a school,” Lowry said. Smithtown Central School District in the 2012-13 school year had 10,317 students enrolled in the district, and four years later the number dropped more than a thousand to 9,241 in 2016-17. The declining enrollment was cited in 2012, with guidance from the district’s Citizens’ Advisory Committee on Instruction and Housing, as the rationale behind the closing of Nesconset Elementary
School, and again in 2017 when the district closed Brook Branch Elementary School. “Over the last few years, the board of education and administration have been proactive regarding the district’s declining enrollment,” Smithtown Superintendent James Grossane said in an email. “The district will continue to monitor its enrollment trends to plan for the future.” Experts cite factors like declining birthrate, aging population and changes in local immigration patterns as potentially having an impact on local enrollment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a report in May indicating the national birthrate in 2017 hit a 30-year low with 60.2 births per 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44. The national birthrate has been in general decline since the 1960s, but this most recent report is low even compared to 10 years ago when the birthrate was closer to 70 births per 1,000 women. Suffolk County’s population is also skewing older. Census data from the American Community Survey showed from 2010 to 2016 there was an estimated 28,288 less school-aged children between the ages of 5 and 19 living in the county. School closings are probably the most severe action districts tend to take to mitigate the effect of declining enrollment, but it is not the only option. The Three Village Central School District has seen enrollment drop by about 900 students during the last decade. In its recently passed budget the district said it was making several staffing changes, including consolidating the roles of certain staff members. The district cited declining enrollment along with staff retirements and attrition for the changes, but also promised to add a new high school guidance counselor and an additional district psychologist to give attention to individual student’s mental health. “While our district, like so many others in our area, have recently been experiencing a decline in enrollment, particularly at the elementary level, we have

KYLE BARR
taken this opportunity to create efficiencies using current staff in order to lower class size and support a number of new initiatives, programmatic enhancements and student support services,” Cheryl Pedisich, the superintendent for Three Village schools said in an email. Kings Park Superintendent Timothy Eagen said lower enrollment allows for smaller class sizes and for more attention to the mental health of individual students. “Our students today need a little bit more mental health support than students yesterday,” Eagen said. “Obviously we don’t need as many elementary sections, but we haven’t necessarily decreased our total staffing amount because we’ve been increasing our mental health supports.” Even with those potential benefits, many districts are still trying to work out the long-term implications of lower enrollment. Al Marlin, a spokesperson for the New York State School Boards Association said enrollment has a large effect on how much state aid a school can procure. “Declining enrollment affects school districts in several ways — perhaps most importantly through the impact on state aid because New York’s school-aid distribution formula is based, in part, on enrollment numbers,” Marlin said in an email. “Declining enrollment also can make it more difficult for districts to sustain academic courses, including Advanced Placement courses and programs such as sports teams.” Shoreham-Wading River school district conducted an enrollment study in 2015 that was updated for the 2017-18 school year. The study predicted the district will recede to 1,650 enrolled students by 2025, compared to 2,170 as of May. Along with a declining birthrate and an aging population, the district pointed
to low housing turnover from 2008 to 2016 for part of the declining enrollment. “It is difficult to predict the exact number, but it is fair to say that the enrollment decline in the district will be continuing in the near future,” SWR superintendent Gerard Poole said in an email. Superintendents from SWR and Rocky Point school district both said they do not have any plans to close schools, but there is a possibility lower enrollment could affect the districts’ ability to apply for grants. A few districts are breaking the trend. Huntington Union Free School District has actually seen an increase in school enrollment from 2012 to 2017, but Superintendent James Polansky said in the most recent years that increase has started to level off. Polansky did not want to speculate as to why enrollment in Huntington was not decreasing like other districts, but Graziano said it might be because the district is more diverse and attracts more immigration than nearby districts. “Every district is different, they have to look at their own schools and communities to see how they deal with enrollment,” Polansky said. Every year Western Suffolk BOCES releases a report that looks at schools’ current enrollment and compares it to previous years. Graziano, who is working on this year’s report, most likely to be released sometime this month, said the agency expects a continuing decline in school enrollment at least for the next several years. Though eventually, she said, the declining enrollment should level off as entering kindergarten class sizes stabilize. However, there is no telling when that might be. “Birthrates do not seem to be increasing, it doesn’t look like, as of right now, that’s going to turn around any time soon,” Graziano said. “But of course, we don’t have a crystal ball.”

Tesla lab looking to make historic site list BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
TBR NEWS MEDIA
Shoreham’s Wardenclyffe property, the site of famed Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla’s last living laboratory, is up for consideration for historical site status by the New York State Historic Preservation Office June 7. “We want to make the world aware, more than it is now, of the site’s importance,” said Jane Alcorn, president of the board of directors of Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe. “It gives the community and our investors some assurance that we’re moving in the right direction, that were not just gaining local recognition, but state and national as well.” In 2012 the science center worked with The Oatmeal comic website to launch a successful Indiegogo campaign that raised $1.37 million to purchase the land. Since then the nonprofit has renovated the property with plans to turn the site into a museum and incubator for technology-based business startups. Alcorn said the board hired a historic architect consultant who documented the land KYLE BARR
and its legacy. The group worked for months crafting a 92-page document describing Tesla’s life along with the many minute details of the 16-acre property, such as which buildings are historic and which are not, when each was built, and by what person and company. Marc Alessi, the science center’s executive director, said that having the property on the historic register would help to indefinitely safeguard the land. “It’s preserving it for future generations,” Alessi said. “When you get something registered as a historic landmark, we’ll be able to rest easy knowing 500 years from now if society completely changes, there is a very good chance the lab will still be there.” Alcorn said getting historical status would not only increase the project’s notoriety, but would also allow the group to apply for state grants they wouldn’t be eligible for without the historic status. “It’s often one of the requirements of many state grants — that you are located on the historic register,” Alcorn said. “We’ve been eliminated from granting opportunities in the past due to that lack.” Many modern-day entrepreneurs and scientists have a vested interest in the lab’s history. Tesla, a self-starter and entrepreneur, created many technological innovations still used today, such as alternating current and electromagnetism technology. His research influenced modern day X-rays. In the early 1900s Tesla acquired the Wardenclyffe property in Shoreham to test his theories of being able to wirelessly transmit electrical messages. The property housed a huge 187-foot tower for the purpose, but in 1903 creditors confiscated his equipment, and in 1917 the tower was demolished. The concrete feet used to hold the structure can still be seen on the property today.
Nikola Tesla, depicted in statue at top, was a Serbian-American inventor who had a lab built in Shoreham, above, which was designed by architect Stanford White, as inscribed on the sign in front of the building, bottom left. It remains his last standing laboratory. The science center submitted the final historic register application nearly a month ago, and next week it will be reviewed by the state’s national register review board. The review process takes several weeks, and if accepted, the property will be put on the state register of historic places. The application will then automatically go to the National Register of Historic Places review board for the potential of being put on the national registry. That process will take several months. “Not everything submitted to the national registry gets listed, but New York has a very good track record, so hopefully we’ll be hearing a good thing from this one,” said Jennifer Betsworth, a historic preservation specialist for the state preservation department. Only a day after the center announced its application, it had more than 6,700 people sign letters in support of the application, according to Alessi, and were sent to the state historic preservation review board.
Betsworth said despite how the property has been modified through the years, it has value as Tesla’s last intact laboratory and has historical significance as the site of some of his last and most ambitious inventions. “It’s a bit complicated because it’s a building that’s absolutely covered with later additions that aren’t historic, so its value is not necessarily immediately obvious,” said Betsworth. “If this wasn’t the last remaining laboratory related to Tesla, it might not have been eligible. The incredible rarity and significance of this resource is what it has going for it.” The science center is currently working to fundraise for the first phase of a project that would turn two buildings on the grounds into exhibition spaces for science education. The fundraising has reached $6 million out of the planned $20 million, according to Alessi. The science center hopes to have the first part of a functioning museum up and running by the end of next year.

1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT Dems eyeing ballot spot against Zeldin state their cases before primary Fifty percent of the Nov. 6 ballot in the race to represent New York’s 1st Congressional District is already set, but there’s plenty to sort out before the other half is finalized. Five candidates garnered enough signatures on their petitions for elected office, earning spots on the ballot for the June 26 Democratic primary. Page A30 They’ll square off for the right to challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) in the general election. All five candidates were at TBR News Media’s Setauket office June 1 for a debate to point to the areas in which they differ, matters they think they’re better suited for the job and ways they can dethrone their adversary. In pitching herself as the candidate most capable to do the latter, former Suffolk County Legislator Kate Browning said she can take votes away from Zeldin in a variety of ways. “We need to be able to appeal to the blue-collar voters, and I believe that’s something I can do,” she said. “Having a husband who’s in law enforcement, who’s an Army veteran — we hear Lee Zeldin talk about ‘vote for the vet, vote for the William Floyd graduate,’ and I live in his base, and I can tell you I know that I can take votes from his base. And having two kids in the military, I can take a lot of that away from him.” Zeldin is a U.S. Army Reserve veteran. Perry Gershon identified a different way that he can pull from Zeldin’s support. The candidate said he made a living in commercial mortgage lending for 25 years and owned a small business — a sports bar in New York City — touting the fact he is a political outsider hoping to shake things up. “What that background means is that when I talk about the economy and jobs I have a little extra credibility, because I’ve been involved in creating jobs before,”

David Pechefsky
Kate Browning
Elaine DiMasi
Perry Gershon
The five candidates running in the Democratic primary for New York’s 1st Congressional District debate at the TBR News Media office in Setauket June 1. Gershon said. Elaine DiMasi provides perhaps the most unique qualifications of the bunch. “There aren’t too many districts that can add a professional scientist to that problem-solving team that is congress,” said DiMasi, a physicist at Brookhaven National Lab. “There’s 435 professionals there — many lawyers, many legislators, many more people with business degrees than with backgrounds like mine, and it’s badly needed right now.” David Pechefsky said he offers a blend of foreign and domestic policy experience despite never holding elected office, which is uncommon for most first-time candidates. He has worked as an adviser to governments abroad, in addition to his time as a staffer for the New York City Council. “We’re going to need that to go toe-to-toe with Zeldin,” he said. “He talks a lot about foreign policy. Our national lawmaking body [is] going to have to vote on a whole host of issues pertaining to foreign policy, and I also feel deeply that the Democratic Party needs to challenge the narrative on foreign policy. We cannot afford to continue to have military interventions.”
Vivian Viloria-Fisher
Vivian Viloria-Fisher said she previously served as a delegate at three Democratic National Conventions in the past. That, her experience as a Suffolk County legislator and living in the district for nearly five decades helps her to understand the needs of 1st District Democrats, she said. “This is who I am, this is who I’ve always been,” she said. “I have a footprint that goes throughout the district and I’ve done good work throughout this district. I’m well-known.” Viloria-Fisher and Pechefsky said they possess empathy and compassion, respectively, which they said they feel Zeldin lacks. DiMasi said she’s dexterous, or quick-witted, capable of thinking on her feet in the midst of say, a scrutinized debate. Gershon said during his years in business he thought he’d earned a reputation as a person with high integrity, capable of getting along with people from all walks of life. Browning said she’s approachable, often having to remind people to call her “Kate,” as opposed to Legislator or Mrs. Browning. The winner of the primary will be campaigning for a seat Zeldin won by almost 20 points in 2016, within a county Trump won by seven points, marking the first time a Republican presidential candidate secured Suffolk County since 1992. Viloria-Fisher said she partnered with Republicans to pass various pieces of bipartisan legislation while representing the county. Pechefsky said he thinks his message — his willingness to advocate for working people — cuts across political lines. DiMasi said she thought her approach to campaigning — sticking to just the facts — would earn her respect with Republicans. Gershon said he believes many people who voted for Trump in the past could be convinced to vote Democratic because he thinks many regret doing so, with an opportunity to score points because of the Republican tax plan, which did particular damage to Long Island property owners. Zeldin was one of few Republicans in Congress who did not vote for the bill. The candidates identified many of the
same issues — gun control legislation, immigration reform, health care options, lack of high-paying jobs, high cost of living in the district — as the most important to the voters they’ve spoken to, while also citing what they said they viewed as Zeldin’s misguided positions on these issues. Browning named taxes and water quality as among the biggest concerns facing the district in the near future. “[Zeldin will] come to the Island and say, ‘I have a great environmental record, I’m opposed to the offshore drilling, I’m all about clean water,’ however, he’s voting for bills that are polluting the waters in Virginia,” she said. Pechefsky identified availability of affordable housing, for people from all income brackets, as desperately needed. “Brookhaven is losing population except for Patchogue, and seniors can’t afford to stay here either,” he said. “When you say we’re trying to figure out interventions that can make for healthier communities, healthier neighborhoods — housing is one you could tackle directly. I worked a lot on housing policy in the city.” Viloria-Fisher also noted the importance of creating reasons — be it high-paying jobs or vibrant downtowns — for young graduates to remain local and plant roots. She also referenced Zeldin’s position on guns, and campaign donations he has received from the National Rifle Association, as counter to the values of voters she said she’s spoken to. “He calls it Second Amendment support, I just call it gun violence support,” she said. “Nobody needs to carry around an assault weapon.” DiMasi said she’s been trying to get through to those with a distaste for politics, recalling a conversation with an African-American as she was campaigning door-to-door. “The fact is, I believe that federal law is the place to decrease discrimination,” she said. “Laws create personal biases, much more so than the other way around, and that’s from research. We have to understand just how deeply disenfranchised people have become.”

COUNTY
Suffolk County shines light on gun violence Suffolk County showed support for a national movement by using light. On June 1, the H. Lee Dennison Suffolk County headquarters building in Hauppauge was illuminated in orange — the color adopted by activists working to reduce gun violence. The illumination lasted until June 5 and began the night before Suffolk County’s Gun Violence Awareness Day. The event was designated to honor the lives of gun violence victims through legislation co-sponsored by county legislators Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), Monica Martinez (D-Brentwood), William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) and Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville).
Before the initial illumination June 1, members of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America gathered in the building’s lobby for a press conference. Hahn said orange was chosen by high school students in Chicago in 2013 after their friend was murdered because they knew hunters wear orange to prevent being shot by others. The legislator talked about the day of the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012 when she returned home after visiting with her daughter’s kindergarten class and heard the news. Hahn said the tragedy inspired her to author legislation requiring Suffolk County law enforcement agencies to cross reference the names and addresses of suspects transported to Stony Brook University’s Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program with the county’s pistol license registration. The bipartisan Legislature unanimously passed the piece of legislation in 2013, she said. “There is no reason this country can’t have stronger laws,” she said. “We can have the Second Amendment, and we can have stronger laws that protect our children,” Hahn said. Moms Demand Action advocate Gemma Saylor discussed the importance of speaking up when it comes to gun violence. “We all have a voice, and we must use it,” she said. “We have a voice, and we can use it to provide comfort to grieving families. We have a voice, and we can use it to raise awareness about the enormous number of
lives taken by gun violence every single year, every single day.” Shenee Johnson, of Queens, and Paul Guttenberg, of Commack, were in attendance to share their stories of losing loved ones to gun violence. In 2010, Johnson’s 17-year-old son, Kedrick Morrow, was shot and killed at a party. She said while she feels it was once believed gun violence only happened in certain neighborhoods, unfortunately tragedies like Sandy Hook and Parkland have made Americans realize otherwise, and the victims’ families have become one in the fight against gun violence. “We are the vanguards, on the frontline and we’re going to do everything we can,” Johnson said, adding no parent should be fearful dropping children off at school. Guttenberg’s niece Jaime was killed during the Parkland shooting Feb. 14 when a shot from the killer’s AR-15 rifle severed her spinal cord. He detailed the depth of emotion he felt the day of the shooting. At first, Guttenberg said he had hoped his niece had left her phone in a backpack when he first received news his nephew arrived home safe and sound, but his brother and sister-in-law hadn’t heard from Jaime. Later that hope turned into despair when he received the news she was one of the victims who was fatally shot. “How could this have happened,” he said. “I remember hearing about mass shootings on the news, but you never think you’ll be so affected until you are. This can happen to

This could happen here to us, and it already happened to me.” Guttenberg has spoken at a number of rallies on Long Island, and his brother Fred, Jaime’s father, has become an activist for stricter gun legislation. “Jaime’s murder is now a national tragedy, but for my family it is deeply personal and unsettling,“ Guttenberg said. “We are strong. We are resolute, and we will make Jaime’s memory a blessing.”

Sound Beach animal rescue group helps save 27 bunnies Volunteers hopped to save nearly 30 domestic rabbits that were left alone and abandoned in a tick and poison ivy infected stretch of forest last week in Ronkonkoma. Smithtown-based nonprofit Guardians of Rescue received a tip about illegally released rabbits and reached out to local animal rescue groups for help. Volunteers spent close to two full days, May 27 and 28, capturing 27 rabbits that had been marooned in a forest near the Ronkonkoma train station commuter parking lot. One was found dead in the forest and another died while receiving care. “These particular rabbit breeds were not suited for the wild,” said Robert Misseri, president of Guardians of Rescue. “There is no telling how long they would have lasted, but it would have not been long.” Misseri said he put the call out to several local animal rescue groups including the Sound Beach-based nonprofit Strong Island Animal Rescue League. The first rabbit that Erica Kutzing, vice president for the Strong Island rescue group, saw when she arrived at the forest was larger than any wild rabbit should have been. It was a Flemish Giant, a breed of rabbit known for being extremely calm. Kutzing got down to its level and laid out rabbit feed in a line and the rabbit loped toward her. Frankie Floridia, the president of Strong Island rescue, flashed out a net from behind her and caught the rabbit.

Erica Kutzing coaxes toward her one of 27 bunnies that were abandoned in the woods. Kutzing held it as she brought it back to their car. She said it was nearly as big as a small dog. “Whoever abandoned those rabbits should be ashamed,” Floridia said. “They were giving those rabbits a death sentence.” Many of the rabbits they found were of different breeds including Lionheads and Flemish Giants. Some had interbred with each other, which makes the rescue groups believe the animals were held together in cages. “Black ones, white ones, gray, brown, there were all different kinds,” Kutzing said. “It was like shopping at Macy’s, you could get any color you wanted.” Misseri said he suspects the person who
abandoned the rabbits had been breeding them. Many were sick with pneumonia. Others were injured by the cage they were kept in and the rabbits they were caged with, according to Misseri. Several had cysts and many were suffering from malnourishment. The first captured is currently being nursed back to health, and was given the name André the Giant after the famous French wrestler and actor. “Once we caught him we were running through the woods — it was just net after net after net,” Kutzing said. “And you have to be careful picking these guys up because if they kick strong enough they’ll break their backs, if they get too frightened they can have a heart

attack. They have paper-thin skin so if you handle them wrong you can tear the skin.” The rabbits have been sent out to multiple animal rescue operations in the surrounding area. Six were taken in by Guardiansof Rescue, but all have already been fostered out. Several were taken in by Long Island Orchestrating for Nature from Malverne, the Connecticutbased Hopalong Hollow Rabbit Rescue and Queens-based All About Rabbits Rescue. The Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has put out a $3,500 reward for a person who leads them and authorities to the person who abandoned the animals. Several local animal rescue groups donated money toward that reward, namely Guardians of Rescue, Strong Island Animal Rescue League and Long Island Orchestrating for Nature, who put up $500 each, while the SPCA and All About Rabbits Rescue put up $1,000 each. “We at the SPCA take this very seriously, especially in cases of abandonment like this,” Suffolk SPCA President Roy Gross said. “This is a case of abandonment and animal cruelty, and so the person or persons involved in this are up for criminal charges. All that person had to do was to pick up a phone, call any of these organizations and we would have found a home for them, but instead he abandoned them.” To foster any of the remaining rabits, call Guardians of Rescue at 888-287-3864. The SPCA said that any tips about the person who abandoned the rabbits can be sent to their phone number 631-382-7722.

Celebrating an evening of the arts also featured a performance by the thirdgrade orchestra students and an art scavenger hunt for all family members. “This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the learning and development process of our students in the arts,” said Principal Louis Parrinello. “The expressive skills they are learning in our classrooms will certainly broaden their perspective on the world.”
Providing food for feathered friends After learning about environmental protection and the establishment of the celebration of Earth Day, students in Jillian Coster’s first-grade class at Miller Avenue Elementary School worked together to create natural wood birdfeeders and birdhouses.
Assisted by four parent volunteers, the students used colorful popsicle sticks and glue to craft their projects. “We discussed needs and wants,” Coster said. “We know that birds need shelter and food, and we will be able to provide both.”

A close-up view of Broadway Pioneer lessons for students Wading River Elementary School fifthgraders learned of the travels of American pioneers as an extension of their studies, when they visited The Long Island Museum’s Wagons West exhibit in Stony Brook. The students experienced what life was like for a family traveling the more than
2,000 mile Oregon Trail from their home in Missouri. The students learned from a museum educator about the authentic vehicles used, what the job of a blacksmith was and what was needed for the American adventurers to make the six-month journey to their new home.
Students from Albert G. Prodell Middle School took their music classroom lessons to the capital of the theater world when they traveled into New York City to take part in Broadway close-up workshops and attend a production of “School of Rock.” Accompanied by Assistant Principal Dan Ackerman and music teachers Arthur Gross, Kevin O’Brien and Fred Volz, the band, orchestra and chorus students worked with Serving the Community Since 2000
a pit musician on piano and a choreographer who taught them some dance movements to the song “Stick it to the Man.” They also spoke to professionals about their journeys. “The experience really re-created an authentic Broadway rehearsal for these students,” Ackerman said. “They enjoyed the show, but also learned all of the music, staging, rehearsals and hard work that go into putting on a world-class show.”

SWR’s Lee earns first in two events at state quals, Mount Sinai’s Chandrika top spot in steeplechase Katherine Lee was off to the races at the Suffolk County track and field individual championship/state qualifier June 2 and 3 at Comsewogue High School and crossed her senior season finish lines in typical Wildcats fashion — by winning the 1,500and 3,000-meter runs. She finished first in the 1,500 in 4 minutes, 34.25 seconds and the 3,000 in 9:58.42. Lee said her result was not what she’d hoped, saying she’s been under the weather, but hopes to finish stronger when she competes with the other winners in the state championship at Cicero North Syracuse High School June 8 and 9. Mount Sinai sophomore Sarah Connelly came in third in the 1,500, crossing the finish line in 4:38.07. Connelly also came in second in the 3,000 in 9:59.99. Mount Sinai freshman Kaitlyn Chandrika used a quick start to roll to a 6:57.97 victory in the 2,000 steeplechase. Teammate Noreen Guilfoyle, a senior, placed fourth in 7:13.59. Chandrika also raced to a third-place finish in the 800 with a 2:16.31 behind Ward Melville seniors Allyson Gaedje (2:14.82) and Sam Rutt (2:14.93). Mount Sinai junior Kayleigh Robinson ended up second in a photo finish in the 400 hurdles behind Sachem East’s Kaitlyn Famiglietti. The Flaming Arrows

Miller Place senior Jillian Patterson grabbed second in the pentathlon with a score of 3,059.

placed fourth in the 800, clocking in at 1:56.20. Mount Sinai senior Jack Pilon came in sixth (1:59.11).
Mustangs nearly pull off big comeback in LIC loss Despite being down six goals at halftime, junior Emma Tyrrell said she kept repeating to herself, “We couldn’t just give up.” Scoring five goals in four minutes, Mount Sinai’s girls lacrosse team mounted a comeback that turned a 9-3 deficit into an eventual 12-12 tie, but a Cold Spring Harbor goal late in the second period of sudden-death overtime knocked the Mustangs out of the playoffs in the Long Island Class C championship game at Islip High School June 3.
CSH 13 Mount Sinai 12
Knowing it was now or never, Tyrrell made a highlight-reel play when she raced past the right side of the cage and scored a behind-theback shot that started the string of goals. She said it was a play she’d been practicing putting into effect all season. “I had no idea I was going to do it, until it just happened,” she said. “The funny thing is that just before the game started [coach Al Bertolone] told me that he finally trusts me to take that shot. So when the time came, I had the confidence.” She scored twice in two minutes, which bookended a Camryn Harloff goal. Both of Tyrrell’s scores started with sophomore Jenny Markey (one goal, four assists) winning possession off the draw. “We were finally getting the momentum to get back at them and be the better team,” Markey said. “I was nervous on the draw, but ready. I knew what the girl guarding me was looking to do, but once I started getting the hang of it I got more comfortable as the game went on.” She earned more possession time on the next two faceoffs, which led to her scoring a free position goal and passing to Harloff (three goals, one assist) for a good goal on her second to pull Mount Sinai within one, 9-8, with 16:11 left in regulation. Markey said seeing Tyrrell’s goal fueled her team’s fire. “It got everyone going,” she said. “After that goal, the whole feeling changed.”

Meaghan Tyrrell shoots, above, and Jenny Markey grabs possession off the draw, on left. For a team that usually doesn’t celebrate after scoring, the girls lit up, shouting and jumping toward one another. Senior Meaghan Tyrrell (five goals, one assist), Emma’s older sister, said her heart skipped a beat with each goal scored. Fittingly, the team’s top offensive threat tallied the first two and final three goals of the game. She scooped up a ground ball at the eight-minute mark and forced a turnover with a stick check at the six-minute mark. Both moves led to her last two game-tying goals in what became a back-and-forth battle. “Knowing how important each goal was to determine the rest of our season made us more excited,” she said. “With every one that went
in, that celebration had to be done at a more extreme level. Our team’s resiliency is unlike any other team I’ve ever seen before. Seeing our team perform how it did to get back into the game was astounding, and I’m so proud to be associated with that kind of team.” Losing seven seniors to graduation, Emma Tyrrell said the remaining players will use the loss as motivation to make the push next year. “As sad as it is moving on from this season, I’m excited to start preparing,” she said. “Since the beginning, our team has been all about hard work and grit — that was definitely shown in the second half of the game. We never have, and we never will give up.”

Wimmer’s a winner: Senior’s 8Ks Emma Wimmer had been on the Long Island championship stage before, but this time, she wound up with a better result. Wimmer whiffed eight batters in a complete game shutout, 5-0 win against Carey for Mount Sinai’s first Long Island Class A championship crown. The Mustangs had been to the big dance the last three seasons, but it seems the fourth time’s a charm. “It feels nice to get the burden off our back,” said Wimmer, who pitched in relief in Mount Sinai’s 7-0 loss to MacArthur in the LIC last year. “We wanted to get a jump early — keep putting the ball in play — and stay strong defensively.” And Wimmer did both. The starting pitcher struck out her first two batters in the bottom of the first before giving up one of just four hits Carey could muster in the game. In the top of the second, the senior’s RBI single to left center scored the first run of the game. Sam Valenti lifted a sacrifice fly to double Mount Sinai’s lead on the next at-bat. Junior Ilexa Skulnick scored on the play. The plan was to pitch to contact and keep the ball on the ground, according to Wimmer, but her stuff was sharp, and the swings and misses were plentiful. “I wanted to see how they were hitting, and if they were behind I would’ve thrown more changeups, but the fastballs worked today, and I mixed it up toward the end trying to keep them off-balance,” she said. “It’s such a nice feeling — getting outs, doing it for yourself. And it felt even better standing on that mound in the seventh inning finishing it out.” An RBI single by Skulnick following a run-scoring error extended Mount Sinai’s lead to 4-0 in the top of the third. Junior Julia Golino went 3-for-4 and drove in senior shortstop Lové Drumgole for the final run in the top of the seventh with a sharp single up the middle. Skulnick said this year the team approached the Long Island final with a different mindset.

‘It feels nice to get the burden off our back. We wanted to get a jump early — keep putting the ball in play — and stay strong defensively.’ — Emma Wimmer
Clockwise from above, Emma Wimmer hurls a pitch; Lové Drumgole sends the ball to first; Julia Golino makes a play at first; Ilexa Skulnick and Drumgole celebrate the win; and Wimmer smacks an RBI single for Mount Sinai’s first run of the game. “We needed to believe,” she said. “So, when you’re at bat, it’s ‘I can hit this ball, I will hit the next ball,’ and when you’re in the field and it’s coming to you it’s ‘I’ve got it,’ and I think that definitely worked for us.” She chipped in solid defense, playing a ball on a hop for a force-out at second — just missing a double play — in the bottom of the fourth inning and snagged a line drive for the next out, but she pointed to Wimmer as the catalyst behind the shutout. “It’s amazing watching her hit her spots,” Skulnick said. Drumgole, who went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base, said the Mustangs hitting is contagious, but revealed she did hide how she was really feeling. “I was nervous, but I couldn’t show that,” she said, adding that a broken glove in the seventh amplified her worry despite still making her last two catches for outs. “I had to pretend that I was 100 percent confident. But everyone remains a threat for us, especially on offense.” Finally getting over the hump, Mount Sinai (23-4) will face Iroquois at Moreau Recreational Park in Saratoga County in the state semifinals June 9 at 11:30 a.m.
Wimmer was beaming thinking of the Mustangs making their first trip upstate. “For the longest time, I thought, ‘What is states?’” she said. “It’s crazy now to think we’re finally going to get to experience it.”

OPINION Editorial
Letters to the editor
Thoughts on the race for Combating bias-based bullying congress in NY-1 Last week we had the five Democrats vying for a spot on the ballot to represent New York’s 1st Congressional District against U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) at TBR News Media’s Setauket office for a debate-style discussion. Traditionally, this is an exercise we do every fall for each of the various races for local political offices. We write about the discussions and endorse a candidate, and we do not traditionally do this for primaries. However, this particular race at this particular time in national politics felt like an important moment to fully embrace. We are witnessing a presidential administration that both sides can at least agree on calling, if nothing else, virtually unprecedented. This is noteworthy here and now because the district is represented by a congressman who is taking an enormous political risk by routinely doubling and tripling down on even the most unprecedented behaviors and policies that have been displayed and put forth by President Donald Trump (R). A byproduct of being a chief congressional defender of this president is that a political campaign through a long hot summer with a Democrat stockpiled with endless juicy campaign content like: “Trump and Zeldin wanted to take your health care away and let Paul Ryan raise your taxes,” awaits. Full disclosure: We have not yet had Zeldin at our office for an extended, far-ranging discussion, as we do periodically, in 2018. A memorable quote from his last visit was, “I’m no one’s proxy.” We intend to invite the congressman in for a discussion again in the near future, ahead of a one-on-one debate with the primary winner this fall. In the meantime, his two Twitter accounts should be examined — @RepLeeZeldin and @LeeZeldin — and conclusions drawn. For a congressman who has been roundly criticized for declining to hold what his critics would define as the proper number of in-person, no-holdsbarred town halls, his statements on Twitter can sometimes be the best we’ve got. What he chooses to discuss on Twitter, and how it is received, has become of interest to us. A calculation Zeldin is likely to be making currently, if retweets and likes are to be believed is rabble-rousing about Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Russia and general identity politics sells. While our organization is not endorsing a primary candidate, we will offer a few thoughts that registered NY-1 Democrats should know come June 26. They will have their choice of five, clear-headed, issue-driven candidates who are decidedly left of Hillary Clinton (D) and a few strides to the right of Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) on the political spectrum, but not much. They each offer unique and interesting political challenges for Zeldin, especially should he choose to embrace Trumpism and identity politics as his campaign motif. Kate Browning lives two miles from the incumbent on the South Shore, and insisted she knows what it takes to make a dent in Zeldin’s base, in addition to touting her experience in the Suffolk County Legislature. Elaine DiMasi is a scientist from Brookhaven National Lab, who we imagine would be difficult to debate on a topic like, say, “clean coal.” Perry Gershon can ironically sell a similar background to Trump: a political outsider from the private sector — commercial lending and a small business owner — running on change, with the most money of any of the candidates, which largely comes from his own pocket. David Pechefsky boasts legitimate domestic policy experience as a longtime New York City Council staffer, though he has not personally held political office. He also possesses a legitimate foreign policy background, having served as an adviser to foreign governments. Vivian Viloria-Fisher has a solid blend of track record, depth of experience, name recognition from her years in the county Legislature and laser focus on the few issues we could easily see being the deciding factors come November: health care (especially regarding reproductive/ women’s health care rights), gun control and immigration. We will continue tracking this race through November and will update you with the primary results come the end of June. We hope you will reach out to us with your thoughts and feelings about the challengers and the race, too.

In September 2010, the Dignity for All Students Act was signed into state law to combat biasbased bullying, discrimination and harassment in public schools and to ensure the right of every public school student to learn in a safe, welcoming and caring environment. Eastern Suffolk BOCES, the Suffolk County Inter-Faith AntiBias Task Force and the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association joined together and have been working in collaboration to ensure the guidelines and goals established by DASA are being effectively implemented in public schools throughout Suffolk County. One of their joint initiatives was to facilitate a forum, which coincided with the fifth anniversary of the introduction of DASA, where county school districts’ Dignity Act
coordinators and district DASA coordinators could share their best practices in the areas of disseminating information to staff, students and parents; the training of staff and students; prevention and response to events; and response to violations. Through an open dialogue, forum attendees shared and received valuable insight into effective practices, and the tools to enhance their own processes. While there is much good work going on in schools across the county in compliance with DASA, there is always more that can be done and shared. As an outgrowth of this successful forum, a DASA resource guide, which is a compilation of best practices utilized in county public schools for the past five years, was created. This comprehensive resource guide, which is being shared with
all county school districts, will serve as an informative and valuable tool to support and enhance the work being done to implement DASA and protect the rights of all children attending public schools. The guide is a collaboration between the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission, the Suffolk County Inter-Faith Anti-Bias Task Force, Eastern Suffolk BOCES and the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association. For more information on best practices for the implementation of DASA in public schools, visit the website for Suffolk County School Superintendents Association at www.suffolksuperintendents.org.

In favor of ranking students After I read the first two paragraphs of Leah Dunaief’s May 31 column in Times Beacon Record Newspapers, “Dumbing down America as graduation approaches,” I had to check the byline and the picture to see if my name and photo were there. My sentiments exactly. I grew up in NYC, and went to a high school where you had to pass a test to get in. I was not even close to being valedictorian or salutatorian, but I didn’t care. Just having that school as something I could use on a résumé, or to get into a good college, was enough for me. The people who wanted to be competitive with one another were, and those of us who chose not to be were not. For me, my competition was to be the best that I could be. The key was to do the best that I could do. During the administration of
New York City Mayor David Dinkins, there was a strong movement to do away with specialized high schools, since they were thought to be elitist, and that not getting in would affect a kid’s self-esteem. This was the start of the dumbing down process (remember the movement to outcome-based education) in a “progressive” city. Thank goodness that movement was squelched. As Leah points out, the “participation trophy” society, and one where people get recognized for just showing up, really means that if everyone is special, then no one is. What incentive is there for a mediocre student to try to improve, if everyone gets a diploma, and excellence is not recognized? Oh, poor Johnny’s self-esteem will be hurt if he is ranked, or if his team loses at a soccer
tournament and he is made to feel like a loser because he doesn’t get a trophy. GET OVER IT. In life, there are winners and losers, and many successful business people, athletes, etc., will tell you that it was their failures that drove them to ultimately succeed. The way that many millennials reacted to the 2016 election is indicative. Some colleges and law schools had to have “safe rooms,” places with LEGOs, petting animals and PlayDoh, psychologists on campus, etc., because the students could not deal with the fact that their candidate lost. They never had to deal with failure before. They had no idea how to handle it. They were told by their parents and educators that they were the best. That whatever they did was good enough. POOR BABIES!
Gary Aronowitz Plainview
Dealings with Bannon a mark against Zeldin It is a great irony that U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin touts JewishAmerican Heritage Month. The irony is that Zeldin, against the pleading of Jews and non-Jews in his district who begged him not to have Steve Bannon as a keynote speaker at his fundraiser, had him anyway. Bannon has been cited
by the Anti-Defamation League as a panderer to anti-Semites and racists. Zeldin also supports an agenda that is diametrically opposed to Jewish values. This apparent attempt on the part of Zeldin to win the support of Jews in his district is cynical at best
and hypocritical at worst. While Jewish-American Heritage Month is important in that it points out the contributions and participation of Jews in America, Zeldin in not the one to celebrate it.

OPINION
Starting my own collaborative counterculture
I
’m starting a new movement. I’m going to call it CCDD, for CounterCulture Dan Dunaief. Hey, look, if other people can put their names on buildings, airlines and bills that become laws, why can’t I, right? My movement is all about trying to get away from a world in which large groups of people line up on either side of an issue, without much consensus or common ground in between. The polar opposites are like a barbell, with heavy By Daniel Dunaief weights on either end and a thin line between them. The counterculture lives along that line.
D. None of the above
So, I’m going to establish my own rules for CCDD. For starters, I’m not going to hurry to do anything. I’m going to smile when the person in front of me doesn’t hit the gas as soon as the light turns green. I’m going to let people go ahead of me. Let’s not get ridiculous about this, right? I mean, if I’m waiting for a sandwich and I’m starving, I’m not going to let everyone go, but, I’m just saying, I’m going to take my foot off the accelerator and stop acting as if I have to race to every event. OK, I’m also going to stop acting as if I know everything. Everyone is supposed to know everything, or at least fake it. Besides, if we don’t know something, we can check on the internet, which is the greatest source of information and misinformation ever invented. I’m going to say, “I don’t know,” and try to reason through what I recall from my education, from my reading and
from people around me before asking Siri, Alexa or any other computer created voice for help. I can and will try to figure it out on my own. I’m not going to read anything shorter than the length of a tweet message. No offense to Twitter, but the president of the galaxy vents his extreme frustration with people inside and outside his cabinet regularly through this system, so strike while the iron is hot, right? Except that I don’t want to read short ideas, short sentences or shorthand. I want to read a full, detailed thought and idea. I’m going to care more than I ever have about grammar and spelling. I’m going to encourage others to care about the difference between counsel (advice) and council (a collection of people) because words matter. I will look carefully at nature whenever I have the chance. I plan to consider the importance of the
journey, even as I head toward a destination. The ends will not justify the means, even if it’s easier to cut corners and to take small liberties along the way. I will believe in facts. This one might be the hardest to live by because, after all, what is a fact today? How do we know, for sure, that something is true? I will research information and will make my own informed decision. In CCDD, I’m going to listen to people who speak to me, and ignore those who shout to get my attention. If what you say is important and relevant, the value should speak for itself. Finally, I’m going to celebrate my differences with other people. I’m not going to assume someone passionate about a belief different from my own is wrong. I am going to try to listen attentively, so that I can meet them somewhere closer to that barbell line. If they can change me, maybe I can change them?
The best-laid plans of mice (and women) often go astray

o much for well made plans. It was to be a milestone high school reunion this past weekend, a classmate was coming from Denver to stay with me, and we would attend the reunion together. I have known her since seventh grade, and for whatever reasons apparent only to middle school kids, we had nicknamed each other then “Salmon” and “Clambroth.” We giggled about that over our cellphones, temporarily traveling back in time 60 years, as we arranged the By Leah S. Dunaief logistics for the coming event. She had been one of the shortest girls in the class and I was one of the taller, so our classmates inevitably referred to us as “Mutt & Jeff” as we walked the halls. Would anyone

besides us remember that? More than 50 women out of the original 225 in our all-girls school were coming into New York City or already there, and it promised to be a grand gathering. My friend was already flying east Thursday morning when I climbed out of the shower and fell on my back in the bathroom. The pain was sharp and immediate. In an instant the much-anticipated weekend evaporated before my eyes. Never mind the weekend. I was going to be lucky if the bones on the left side of my body — my shoulder, elbow, forearm, ribs and hip — weren’t broken. None of the surfaces in the bathroom are forgiving, and I had cracked against the wall of the tub. The vision of walking into reunion was replaced by my coming home from the hospital in a body cast. I realized I was screaming as I lay on the ceramic floor and had been for a number of seconds to no avail. There was no one else home. I screamed some more, just because I could, then began the miles-long
crawl to my bedroom. For some unaccountable reason, I thought I would feel much better if I could get into my bed. Silly me, I couldn’t even stand. Nor could I stop shaking. I was able to pull the phone off the table, however, and I called a dear friend who fortunately was home and had rescued me before. Together we drove to the hospital. That was only a 10-minute trip, but I felt every pebble and bump in the road. The hospital personnel were wonderful. They wheeled me into the emergency room, and after some inevitable paperwork but not much of a wait, I was helped onto a bed between two curtains and my date of birth corroborated several times with the paper bracelets on my wrist. An empathetic physician’s assistant greeted me and asked what had happened. Then came the X-rays. Of course they were going to X-ray the places that hurt, and I tried not to scream during the many rearrangements of my body. The process seemed to go on forever although I had no idea of time, and then it was

over. I joined my angelic friend between the two curtains and squirmed in bed, searching for a pain-free position as we waited for the results. The PA came with good news and bad news. My shoulder, elbow, arm and hip were badly bruised but not broken. In fact they were already turning colors of the rainbow amid the swelling. But my back, the area of greatest pain, had what seemed like a new compression fracture. I had endured that trauma before, and the PA couldn’t be sure it was a new or old injury. And there wasn’t much the PA could do except recommend a painkiller, preferably Tylenol, and send me home. Imagine the reaction of my Denver friend when she completed the 2,000 mile trip to my house, only to find me laid out in my living room and still shaking. She did go the different events of reunion weekend, and through her descriptions and the texts and emails from those gathered, I was able vicariously to enjoy hearing what they talked about. I think before the next milestone reunion, I won’t shower.
