Three Village BOE discusses security, budget BY ANDREA PALDY The Three Village school board meeting opened to a packed cafeteria at R.C. Murphy Junior High March 14 following a moment of silence in memory of the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Foremost on the minds of its attendees was school security. Following the tragedy in Parkland, Florida, exactly four weeks before, parents wanted to know how the district would continue to ensure their children’s safety. Prepared to voice their concerns, some parents came armed with statistics and studies, while others wielded their experience in law enforcement. But, before pub-

active shooter situation. Each school has lockdown drills with staff and students four times a year. There are hidden panic buttons around district buildings to call a lockdown. Blue strobe lights and sirens are activated and are purposely loud and distracting to make it difficult for anyone, especially an attacker, to concentrate, the security coordinator said. Administrators have extensive emergency management training, including on how to control severe bleeding. Security personnel are also receiving emergency management technician training in addition to learning how to recognize explosives and manage a bomb incident. There is also a system that provides direct communication with emergency services at Suffolk County Police Department’s 6th Precinct and Stony Brook and Setauket fire departments, as well as shared communication channels. Blaum also explained how any student and staff following “see something, say something” protocol is also beneficial. “I need intel instantly,” he said. “All the red flags were missed,” he said referring to the Parkland school shooting incident. It wasn’t until the end of the presentation that Blaum hit on the issue of arming teachers. “That is not going to happen,” he said. Regarding an armed security guard

lic participation, which took place at the end of the meeting, those gathered heard a detailed and, in his words, frank presentation from security coordinator and chief emergency officer Jack Blaum. “It is impossible to create a bulletproof plan,” he said. By regularly analyzing national and world incidents, Blaum said he can identify and bolster what the district is doing to safeguard schools. For example, one of the best plans the district has in place is its “default lock-out” of the buildings, Blaum said. External doors to schools are locked during the school day and for some time after it, he said. To be admitted to district buildings, visitors must undergo two-pronged vetting, which entails showing ID before being buzzed through the first door into a vestibule, and then having that ID, typically a driver’s license, scanned before anyone is allowed through the second door. In addition to bullet-resistant film over glass around the schools, every school in the district has at least two security guards — there are three at the junior highs and 13 at the high school — and all are active or retired law enforcement officers, Blaum said. After hours, there continues to be security presence and surveillance cameras running in and outside of the buildings. Blaum explained that staff is trained in lockdown procedures and options in an

Even though it feels like Election Day 2016 was sometime last week, the 2018 midterms are right around the corner. To that end, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (RShirley) hosted a telephone town hall March 14 to give constituents the opportunity to ask questions and hear where he stands on hot-button issues in New York’s 1st Congressional District. This was one of several telephone town halls Zeldin has hosted since he was re-elected in 2016, though many of his constituents have been rabidly calling for him to host in-person town halls for more than a year, in addition to the three-in-one day town halls he hosted in April 2017, on what some felt was short notice. “While in D.C. these telephone town halls allow me to reach out to the greatest number of constituents at once, allowing me to listen to your concerns and answer your questions,” he said on the call. “Listening to your questions and insight is such an important part of my job.” Zeldin fielded about 10 questions during the 60-minute call on a wide array of topics. Below are some of the highlights, with questions bolded and lightly edited for grammar and clarity. Michael: “I did vote for [President Donald] Trump (R)], but I was very disturbed when he said what he said as far as due process and our Second Amendment rights, taking guns away from people that may be perceived as not having any business having them. I wanted to be assured that you would do your part to remind our president that due process does not come second.” “I totally agree with you, due process is incredibly important,” Zeldin said, though he offered some qualifiers that sounded as though there was at least some common ground between his position and what Trump said during a televised listening session with survivors of the February shooting in Parkland, Florida. Trump suggested that those who display signs they might be harmful to themselves or others should have guns seized immediately, prior to a crime being committed, due process be damned. He has since backed off from that sentiment. “It’s important that we’re doing what we need to do, smart policy to keep people safe,” Zeldin said. “There were so many balls that were dropped in Parkland, at different levels of government … People who are saying Nikolas Cruz shouldn’t have had access to a particular kind of firearm, I’ll say, a guy who shows — I don’t care if he’s 19 or 89 — anyone who is showing all of those threats and indicators, they should not have access to any firearm.” Zeldin also reiterated his support for the Second Amendment and citizens’ right to bear arms. He also in response to a later question said he thought it was great that high school students locally and nationally are educatingthemselvesonissuesandmakingtheir opinions known.

TBR NEWS MEDIA

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin Nora: “In regard to the opioid epidemic, I realize that lots of funding keeps on being funneled toward this crisis, and I see that police are arresting more and more of the drug dealers. I’m not seeing in the hospital setting that the people themselves who are taking the drugs or addicted are getting the help they need. Are there any plans to build facilities for people to get the help they need before they die?” Zeldin responded to Nora, who said she is a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital, by saying in a discussion he was involved in with several generals discussing the future of foreign diplomacy, he relayed to them that opioid addiction is nearing the level of a national security threat. The congressman touted previously passed legislation, specifically the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016, an $8.3 billion plan to fight drug addiction in the United States, with a significant amount of funding for prevention and treatment, and added that the bill needed repeated funding annually. He mentioned a need to improve the quality of treatment facilities or sober homes, as well as legislation that would help to prevent the practice of “doctor shopping,” or seeking prescriptions for pain medications to feed opioid addiction. However, he fairly quickly pivoted to border security. “When we talk about border security or people entering our country, what often gets lost in that is this is also illegal substances as well,” he said. Frank: “Nationally there needs to be some support of President Trump in stopping illegal immigration, and what I was concerned about locally is my understanding is that there are many areas on Long Island that support sanctuary status — it’s a blatant disregard for federal law and something needs to be done about this.” “I’m with you,” Zeldin said. He went on to name a number of examples of illegal immigrants committing violent crimes in cities around the United States as evidence the practice of protecting illegal immigrants from federal prosecution simply for that reason needing to be ended. “The sanctuary city policies we see across the country are so wrong. The federal government is responsible for creating immigration law in this country, and where you have local politicians pandering for votes and refusing to assist … you’re putting our law enforcement officers at risk. I have colleagues that celebrate illegal immigration.” The full recording of the town hall can be heard on Zeldin’s website, zeldin.house.gov.

VILLAGE Teens raise money to help blood cancer patients BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM

LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY

Teens in the Three Village area are working together to make a difference in the lives of those affected by blood cancers. On March 8, Ward Melville High School juniors kicked off a seven-week fundraiser in the hopes of winning the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Long Island chapter’s Students of the Year competition. The health agency’s leadership development and philanthropy program not only gives teens the chance to compete against other high school teams to see who can raise the most money for LLS, but also provides guidance and mentoring from the agency’s professionals to assist in fundraising tactics and team building. The mission of LLS is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. The organization also works to improve the lives of patients and their families through research, patient services and assisting with medical co-pays when needed. The Ward Melville High School team, called 3vforacure, is led by Jillian Bove and Allison Szema. Bove said the Three Village group wants to raise $50,000, which would beat last year’s winners who raised $38,000. Bove said she knows from personal experience how important the services of LLS are. Her mother Patricia was diagnosed with stage III Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2015. After undergoing six months of aggressive chemotherapy, her mother is presently receiving maintenance treatments with a biological agent.

Jillian Bove, Allison Szema and Bove’s mother Patricia at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s kickoff event for the Students of the Year competition. The high school junior said the agency has provided her and her mother with an emotionally-supportive community, and she’s optimistic about the future when it comes to cancer research and the work LLS is doing. “Blood cancers are the stem of all cancers so if they find something — which they’ve been having improvements and advancements — then I think they’ll find [a cure] soon,” Bove said.

Szema said even though none of her family members have suffered from blood cancers, a few have been diagnosed with breast and thyroid cancers. She said she not only joined the team because Bove asked her, but also because the research done by LLS will help with other cancer research as well. Before the March 1 kickoff date, Bove and Szema said the team members sent out

600 letters to all their contacts and attended meetings with LLS representatives. During their fundraising campaign the students will host a badminton tournament March 23 at Ward Melville High School and plan to host a bake sale, sell T-shirts and obtain business sponsorships to raise money. “It feels great working with everyone, and we all have ideas and are not shy about voicing them,” Bove said. Meagan Doyle, a campaign manager with the Long Island chapter of LLS, said the competition is a great way for young people to get involved in fundraising. “It’s a win-win,” Doyle said. “The children are able to do something, give back. They’re able to have this growth experience on their college resume they get that piece of that, and then the organization, we’re able to see such success in their fundraising and the things they are doing.” The campaign manager said she thinks the Three Village goal of $50,000 is achievable as Bove and Szema have put a lot of focus on building their team. The 3vforacure team includes Kate Dargan, Samantha Sloan, Jack Bertini, Catherine Jiang, Max Friedman, Adrianna Orduna, Jocelyn Su, Jack Swain, Patrick Sammon, Allison Nemesure, Cassidy Oliver, Casey Hozven and Victoria Amato. “[Bove and Szema] as candidates, they are taking on such a leadership role in bringing this group together,” Doyle said. “From the organization’s point of view it just makes us proud that they are representing us in their district.”

County grant helps Stony Brook swing into spring BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

KARA HAHN’S OFFICE

Mother nature may disagree, but the calendar shows spring has arrived, and Stony Brook village is planning to help Long Islanders celebrate. Swing into Spring!, a jazz festival scheduled for March 27-31, is where Long Islanders can enjoy the music at village restaurants. Tom Manuel, owner of The Jazz Loft, where some of the concerts will be held, said the lineup of talent ranges from solo artists to two 17-piece big bands. He said a variety of styles and genres of jazz will be presented, including traditional, bebop, folk and emerging fusion. The festival was made possible by a county grant secured by Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). “It’s just exciting to think about spring and getting out,” Hahn said. The legislator obtained the grant in the fall when there was extra money for cultural arts in the county’s hotel and motel tax fund. She said the cultural arts category of the fund is to enable ways to spur economic development through the arts. The project was included in the adopted 2018 Suffolk County operating budget. “I had wanted to help The Jazz Loft and Stony Brook village,” Hahn said. “I’ve been trying to think of ways from an economic development perspective of using grant

money that could help the businesses in the community.” Manuel said he was excited about the news of the grant, and after a few phone calls and a meeting with Hahn, presented the legislator with the idea of the five-day festival featuring jazz musicians from all over the Island. “The idea was to showcase musicians from varied points of the Island from both Suffolk and Nassau County, and also to offer an educational component which will be our Wednesday workshop on jazz improvisation,” the venue owner said, adding the workshop would be followed by a jam session for all musicians of all ages and abilities. Manuel said the festival will include performances by guitarist Steve Salerno, trombone player Ray Anderson, accordion player Rich Dimino, the Eddie Balsamo Quartet and more. In addition to appearing at The Jazz Loft and The Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Educational & Cultural Center, the musicians will play at Pentimento, Sweet Mama’s Family Restaurant, Lakeside Emotions Wine & Spirits and Three Village Inn. Hahn hopes once jazz lovers visit Stony Brook for the festival, they’ll want to come back in the future to the shops and restaurants, and more Long Islanders will become familiar with The Jazz Loft and Manuel. “I grew up in Stony Brook village so seeing what Tommy was able to do with The Jazz Loft — I know it’s been good for the village,” Hahn said.

Tom Manuel, left, owner of The Jazz Loft, and Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn, third from right, along with local musicians look forward to the Swing into Spring! jazz festival to take place in Stony Brook village March 27 to 31. Gloria Rocchio, president of WMHO, said she enjoys working with Manuel on projects and believes the festival will be good for the village. “We do things with Tom all the time, and this is just another extension of how we collaborative so well together,” Rocchio said. The WMHO president said on the night of March 28, barring no weather setbacks, there will be plenty of different things for visitors to do and see. “People can actually stroll from one location to the other,” she said. Manuel considers Stony Brook village a

hidden gem, and said he believes collaborations like this festival bring out the best of what the area can offer. “I hope that this event introduces people to our town that will not only enjoy it, but will come back again and again to experience all we have to offer,” Manuel said. “I am thrilled that Legislator Hahn has reached out to collaborate with The Jazz Loft, and that we can bring live jazz into so many of our restaurants and businesses.” For more information on Swing into Spring!, visit www.thejazzloft.org or www. stonybrookvillage.com.

HISTORY CLOSE AT HAND ‘Lady of the manor’ traveled far to make Setauket home BY BEVERLY C. TYLER Martha Tunstall was baptized July 2, 1652, the daughter of Henry Tunstall of Putney, County of Surrey, England. She moved with her family to Morocco, where she married Col. William “Tangier” Smith. From her marriage Nov. 26, 1675, until her death in Setauket in 1709 at the age of 57, Martha led a life dedicated to her husband, family, business interests and community. She gave birth to 13 children and buried seven of them. The mother journeyed in a time of discomfiting and perilous travel from the city of Tangier, back to England, to Ireland for the birth of a child and finally to America. She raised her family and assisted her husband in his businesses which often involved his traveling from home over long periods of time. Martha became well respected and loved in her lifetime as “lady of the manor.” Madam Martha Smith, as historian Kate Strong referred to her, or Lady Martha Smith, as she is referred to in many documents is not listed in “The Encyclopedia of Women’s History in America,” nor in “Long Island Women: Activists and Innovators.” But Martha was a woman of wealth and stature on Long Island and especially in the communities of Setauket and Mastic where she and her husband maintained their residences. Tangier Smith was born in February of 1654 in Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, England, to a lady-in-waiting to Queen Charlotte of Braganza at the court of her husband, King Charles II. According to family folklore, Smith was a son of Charles II, however, there is no indication that the king

welfare, anti-bullying measures and teaching kindness. “We need to not be afraid of calling out the behavior of other children,” said Janine Salgado, a mother of three. “And being comfortable and calling those parents and telling them what you see.” Budget Assistant superintendent for business services Jeffrey Carlson gave a preliminary report on the budget for the 201819 school year. The cap on the tax levy increase will be 1.97 percent, an estimated $3 million, Carlson said. Though he does not anticipate a big increase in state aid, he said there will be no cuts for budgetary reasons. There will, Carlson said, be an increase in the district’s contributions to the employee and teacher retirement funds. To cover the $1.5 million increase, the district will use funds from the reserves, which are set aside precisely to cover such expenses, he said. “While we never look at using reserves lightly, it’s what it’s there for — to help mitigate the increase in the retirement system cost,” Carlson said. Additionally, the district will continue to plan for capital projects, which are reimbursed by the state at a rate of 66 percent. As has been the case with many of the projects over the past few years, many projects on deck will be related to safety and security, Carlson said.

Artwork of St. George’s Manor, published in the October 1792 issue of New York Magazine. Drawing from the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities During these early years in Setauket, the Smiths moved from their first house near the Woodhull homestead to Little Neck, now known as Strong’s Neck, where they built a larger house that became known as St. George’s Manor. While Martha kept busy at home, her husband increased the land holdings. On Oct. 9, 1693, he received a patent from Gov. Benjamin Fletcher that included all the land bounded roughly by Carmans and Forge rivers — then called Connecticut and Mastic rivers respectively — between today’s Middle Country Road and the Atlantic Ocean. This combined with his previous purchase created the Manor of St. George. In 1697, Smith added another portion of land, running to the western boundaries of the towns of Southampton and Southold. He then built a second manor house on Smith’s Point. Here the family spent summers, re-

turning to the manor house in Setauket for the rest of the year. With the acquisition of the patent land in 1693, William and Martha became the lord and lady of the manor. Much of the couple’s Long Island property was given to them in recompense after the crown’s short-lived experiment with its North African colony was discarded in 1683. Widowed at the age of 52, Martha successfully continued her husband’s business interests, including offshore whaling, and was an acknowledged community leader.

JILLIAN BOVE

and former New York Police Department officer, agreed that an armed presence would require a lot of tactical planning, and expressed confidence in Blaum’s approach and ability. He added, however, that if there’s a shooter in the school, he believes there’s only one thing that’s going to stop that. “It’s not some security guard, it’s not just some guy with a gun that you hire,” Kronenberg said. “It’s a former or current law enforcement officer who has the tactical training and the guts to confront a shooter while that shooter wants to kill every child he sees walking down the hallway.” Two other parents expressed similar sentiments. However, the majority of the close to 20 speakers on Wednesday felt differently. “There is no evidence that an armed presence increases security,” said psychologist and parent Bethany Riddle. “On the contrary, while it might provide a perception of safety, research indicates that the presence of armed guards increases the risk of violence and injury.” Most speakers echoed Riddle’s thoughts, suggesting that more resources be put toward psychological and social

had any natural children. The city of Tangier, which had been ceded to England as part of Queen Charlotte’s dowry, was an important port, or so it was thought, until evacuated and burned by England in 1683, after both Spain and Portugal refused to take it off the English. As detailed by Chester Osborne, Smith went to the crown city of Tangier when he was 20 years old. A year later he married Martha, and was elected to the post of mayor Nov. 11, 1682. The young couple returned to England in 1683 after the city was abandoned and, in 1686, sailed from Ireland for America. The Smiths arrived in New York in the fall of 1686 with their children, 7-year-old Henry and 5-year-old Martha. A third child, Hibernia, had been born in Cork, Ireland, in June before they left for America on the ship Thomas, but she died at sea at the end of August. Hibernia was the couple’s eighth child and the fifth to die. Three of their children, Elizabeth, John and William Jr. died in Tangier. Their second son also named William Jr., just a month old, died in London in February 1684, and Mary passed in the same year. During their time in New York, Martha gave birth to a daughter Jeane Dec. 8, 1687. After her birth, Tangier Smith quickly purchased land in Setauket, “Ye Little Neck,” and on the South Shore as well. By 1689, the family had moved permanently to the young settlement of Setauket. In March, Martha gave birth to William. The following year, in June of 1690, their daughter Gloryana was born. Eighteen months later another daughter, Theodocia, was born Dec. 14 and died Dec. 29. Two years later, Dec. 20, 1693, Martha gave birth to the couple’s last child, Charles Jeffery.

STATE

NY working on school safety, gun legislation on separate political tracks BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

TBR NEWS MEDIA

The New York State Legislature is working to make schools safer in the aftermath of the Feb. 14 shooting at a Florida high school. But the Republican-held Senate and Democratic-majority Assembly are not yet on the same page in figuring out how to accomplish the goal. The Senate passed a package of bills March 6 aimed at improving school safety through various security-related measures. After a package of gun legislation bills — which included measures to create a stronger background check process, ban bump stocks or accessories that increase a semiautomatic weapon’s rate of fire, establish extreme risk protection orders and more — brought forward by Senate Democrats failed in late February, the Assembly also passed a package of bills March 6 designed to strengthen gun laws. Several of the bills in the Assembly package were the same as versions voted down in the Senate. It remains to be seen if either house will pass their counterparts respective packages. “I have every hope that we can walk and chew gum at the same time because these are not mutually exclusive directions, and they are very complementary,” Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said in an interview. The assemblyman said he hadn’t had a chance to fully study the package of bills passed in the Senate yet, but at first glance it included some initiatives he’d be comfortable supporting. “I would just appeal to my colleagues in the Senate to meet us halfway, and I would pledge to do the same for them. I think we all should keep our eye on what the objective is here, which is to save lives and ultimately there is no single measure that is going to be an omnibus solve.” The package the Senate passed includes a bill authorizing districts to receive state funding to hire a school resource officer, defined in the bill to include retired or activeduty police officers, deputy sheriffs or state

A bill was also included in the package that will provide state education aid to districts for acquiring safety technology and improving security. “Schools must be safe havens, where students can learn and teachers can teach,” Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan (REast Northport) said in a statement. “In New York, we must act swiftly and decisively to implement additional measures in schools throughout our state to give students, parents and teachers the resources and peace of mind that they deserve.” The Senate’s package also had compo-

COUNTY Bellone announces school safety initiative BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Schools in Suffolk County will now be offered a permanent eye in the sky. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) announced the SHARE initiative March 9, a program that will allow districts the ability to connect existing camera systems directly to the Suffolk County Police Department. The system would enhance the efficiency of a police department response to an active shooter situation, according to a press release from Bellone’s office. “We will do whatever it takes to protect our schools by utilizing every available tool and partnership at our disposal,” the county executive said

in a statement. “The SHARE initiative will provide law enforcement the enhanced capabilities needed to respond to a security risk, and I look forward to working with our superintendents and stakeholders on how we can keep our schools safe.” The county held a meeting of all school district superintendents March 15 to formally seek voluntary consent with the districts interested in the program. “We have been preparing and training for the nightmare scenario that we hope never happens,” District Attorney Tim Sini (D) said in a statement. “In the police department, we enhanced our readiness for an active shooter scenario or a terrorist attack, but most importantly to take measures to prevent those incidents.”

nents designed to improve school-based mental health services. One bill allocates districts $50,000 in state funding to put toward hiring a mental health services coordinator, while another requires the state Department of Education to investigate and report on the number of full- and part-time school counselors, school social workers and school psychologists in each school; the ratio of students to the number of school counselors; the ratio of students to the number of school social workers; the ratio of students to the number of school psychologists in each school; and when such staff is working in more than one school. As part of the package, another bill was passed defining school shootings as an act of terrorism, which now makes the New York State Intelligence Center in cooperation

with the state Division of Homeland Security responsible for the collection, integration, receipt, processing, evaluation, analysis, fusing, dissemination, sharing and maintenance of intelligence information to aid in detecting, preventing, investigating and responding to acts of terrorism, including school shootings. Now suspects who discharge a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school can be charged with committing an act of terrorism. The bills in the Senate’s package passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in most cases. They will head to the Assembly before arriving, if passed, at Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) desk for signing into law. The package that passed the Assembly, if eventually passed by the Senate and signed by Cuomo, would temporarily prohibit individuals from purchasing or possessing guns if a family member or law enforcement officer petitions a court and the court finds individuals are likely to engage in conduct that would harm themselves or others. It also would establish a 10-day waiting period before a gun may be delivered to a purchaser who has not cleared a background check. Under current federal law, gun dealers must conduct a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System before selling a firearm. The NICS responds with one of three messages: “proceed,” “denied” or “delayed.” The dealer must deny the sale if the NICS background check determines the buyer is a prohibited purchaser and responds with a “denied” message. However, if the response is “delayed,” the dealer may nonetheless complete the sale after three business days. Also included in the package is a bill preventing convicted domestic abusers from purchasing or possessing a firearm. Spokespersons for Flanagan and Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) did not respond to a request for comment asking if they intend to support the package of legislation passed by the Assembly.

March For Our Lives to take place in Port Jefferson Station BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In accordance with the call to action issued by survivors of the mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida, a local March For Our Lives rally will take place in Port Jefferson Station at the intersection of Routes 112 and 347 March 24 from 1 to 3:30 p.m., according to representatives from the activists North Country Peace Group. Students and families from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and others worldwide will take to the streets to demand action from elected officials to stem the escalation of gun violence and

mass shootings in the nation’s schools. The Port Jefferson Station gathering is one of more than 650 events planned for that day. The students and their parents are sponsoring the rally with help from The North Country Peace Group, Long Island Rising, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Building Bridges in Brookhaven. Two of those groups, Building Bridges and Moms Demand, were formed specifically in response to gun shootings. The organizers said all are welcome to attend the Port Jefferson Station rally. To participate in the program (priority will be given to students) or to learn more about the event, contact ncpeaceg@gmail.com.

SPORTS BILL LANDON

Last season’s late loss adds fuel to Patriots’ fire BY BILL LANDON Three Ward Melville multisport athletes are hoping to not only share knowledge of success through teaching, but through osmosis. Lexi Reinhardt, Kate Mulham and Kerri Thornton, all veterans of the Patriots field hockey team, have tasted success at the highest level. After bringing home the school’s first state title since 2008, the returning starters are hoping to do it again but, this time, with the girls lacrosse team. “Our core players are high energy, they’re high speed, high power, just go-go-go,” head coach Kerri Kilkenny said. “After those girls won the field hockey state title they were all texting me, ‘We’re doing it again in the spring.’” Ward Melville ended its 2017 campaign 17-1. The Patriots powered through the regular season, going 16-0 in Division I before topping West Islip in the Class A quarterfinals. Going 17-1 would seem to be an accomplishment for any team but, for the Patriots, the single-score loss to Northport in the semifinals stung, and the pain still lingers. Ranked No. 1 in Division I heading into this season, Ward Melville has its sights set on a new objective. “Our focus is working hard and getting better every day,” Kilkenny said. “This year I’m more concerned about making sure that we are taking care of ourselves — that we are becoming better, that we are improving and that we’re working hard every single day.” The Patriots lost 13 seniors to graduation, spread evenly across the field — four attackers, four midfielders, four defenders and a goalkeeper. Kilkenny said with the girls playing on club teams over the summer, she’s not worried about filling in the gaps. Senior Shannon Coughlan will anchor the defense, the duo of Shannon Brazier and Shannon Berry will lead the midfield and Jill Becker will guide the attack. Brazier said the bitter taste left in every girl’s mouth after the loss will be used as motivation.

“We’re all trying as hard as we can because a lot of us are seniors,” she said. “This is our last year, so we’re giving it our all. Even though we only had one loss last year, it ended our season. We weren’t happy about that, so we’re using that to fuel our season this year.” Coughlan, who agreed with Brazier, said she is also looking to get her team up to speed. “We have new personnel on defense, so we’re going to have to work on communication with each other to get to where we’re comfortable,” Coughlan said. Ward Melville will scrimmage top Division III teams in Mount Sinai, Shoreham-Wading River and Bayport-Blue Point, and Division II Eastport-South Manor, before the season starts at home to Riverhead March 27, 4:30 p.m. “My senior class is a great, dynamic group — they’ve been with us a few years now and they all have tremendous potential,” Kilkenny said. “All of the girls are like sponges; they want to learn, they listen, they’re coachable. They really are a wonderful group of kids.”

Clockwise from top left, Shannon Brazier, Samantha Tarpey, Nicole Liucci and Kerri Thornton compete against one another during practice.

METRO/CREATIVE CONNECTIONS

Receiving a more educational punishment than suspension would help students, but they should not be stripped of First Amendment rights.

Have the punishment fit the crime

The discussion locally and nationally about potential suspensions for students who participated in the walkout March 14 has us thinking. The issue with suspensions, we feel, is that it’s the wrong way to go about punishing a student for his or her wrongdoing, based on both context and merit. Giving a student a day off from school for misbehaving or not completing his or her work doesn’t seem quite like a punishment. Even an in-school suspension doesn’t seem like an effective answer. Surely something more productive and positive can be born from an instance of student rule breaking. Community service or completion of acts of kindness in lieu of a day at home on the couch, for a student who talks poorly about another student or answers foully when speaking to a teacher or administrator seems more appropriate. Exercises that create more inclusion and less exclusion might have a more positive effect in the long run. In situations when a student is violent, sending a message that it cannot be tolerated while also remaining under supervision of the school community, say, with additional counseling time or through a written personal reflection about the ramifications of their behavior, would create better outcomes than a day at home playing video games or watching TV. Schools are admittedly in a tough position in deciding how to handle punishments for students who used class time to make a statement on an issue they feel passionate about. More can be learned from, say, being assigned to research and report about civil rights protests in the 1960s. For the record, we are behind Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) sentiments regarding districts’ reactions to the March 14 walkout. Yes, it’s against school rules in all districts to walk out of school in the middle of the day, but students experiencing a moment in time of solidarity and turning it into action is something worthwhile that educators should seize on as an opportunity for learning, not vegetating with a day off. “Peaceful expression of views on controversial issues that is not disruptive or threatening is a right that all students have in this country, and any attempts to stifle this speech violates the constitutional rights of students and faculty to free speech,” Cuomo said in a letter. “Threatening to discipline students for participating in the peaceful demonstrations is not only inappropriate, it is unconstitutional. Reports that schools may also discipline faculty are also highly concerning and would send a terrible message to our students.” Reports by parents and students claim districts like Rocky Point, among others, were suspending kids for participating in the national event. We urge those districts to view this as an opportunity for a teachable moment. These are unique times requiring unique responses.

Trump is no fan of appeasement The long list of outstanding accomplishments of President Trump (R) continues to grow, as he announced his intention to have an unprecedented meeting with Kim Jong-un, the supreme leader of North Korea, also characterized by the president as “little rocket man.” The subject of these discussions will be North Korea’s ongoing development of ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, which Jong-un has threatened to use to attack the United States. The seeds of this problem were sown by President Bill Clinton (D), who gave four billion dollars to Kim Jong-il, the previous leader of North Korea and the father of the “little rocket man,” in return for a promise that North Korea would dismantle and disband its nuclear weapons program. To the surprise of no one, other than Clinton’s most

ardent supporters, this was a false promise, and the North Koreans utilized this gift from the American people to redouble their efforts, eventually developing functional nuclear weapons and missiles capable of delivering them, possibly to targets including the United States. Clinton was eventually succeeded by Presidents George W. Bush (R) and Barrack Obama (D), both of whom did absolutely nothing to prevent or even retard the development of these weapons by North Korea. In the case of Obama, this was actually better than might have been expected, considering the deal he made with Iran, in which he unbelievably gifted them with $150 billion in return for a similar false promise. Perhaps we should be thankful that he showed restraint by at least refraining from further donations to North Korea.

Trump, unlike his Democratic predecessors, is no fan of appeasement toward our declared enemies, who have declared in no uncertain terms their hatred for freedom in general and the United States in particular. His economic sanctions and strong words have apparently been effective, and have persuaded the current supreme leader to request discussions, which are now being scheduled. This appears to be a step in the right direction, and is a refreshing departure from the feckless and disgraceful conduct of the previous Democratic administrations. We are fortunate indeed that the American people had the wisdom to elect a president with the ability and fortitude to protect our interests in a world that becomes increasingly more dangerous with each passing day.

George Altemose Setauket

Praising a brave Parkland student Anthony Borges, an incredibly brave and unique 15-year old student at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, saved the lives of perhaps 20 of his fellow students during the horrendous mass shooting at the school that shocked the world in February. By blocking the classroom door with his body, Anthony prevented the maniacal murderer from entering the classroom. Surely he realized that the killer would shoot through the door and that Anthony himself would be the first victim in the room. In fact, Anthony was shot

five times, and, although severely wounded, he heroically managed to hold the door shut. What a fantastic hero. And let us all attentively note that Anthony is a member of a minority group, Latinos. His family came to America, not long ago, from Venezuela. Sadly, Latinos, along with other groups, are often victims in our country of senseless prejudice. If someone must be judged, the criteria should derive almost exclusively from what the individual has done or said or written. Although

race, religion, ethnic origin, etc., should not be involved in such judgments, they often are. Alas, how un-American. Bravo, Anthony. You are a phenomenal, unforgettable hero. How many of us would have done what you did — a deed that so clearly endangered your life? Thank heavens that you survived that vile, unforgettable attack. You deserve the highest possible praise, the greatest possible honor. Our profoundest thanks to you, Anthony Borges.

Bringing local history to life I have enjoyed reading Beverly Tyler’s “History Close at Hand” series in The Village Times Herald for some time. His scholarly research of Setauket’s early days has brought to life many of the people who previously had been just names to me. His recent essay, “Mounts discovered slave history in local graveyard,” in the March 1 edition about a former slave who lived in Setauket and was

a highly regarded fiddle player, Anthony Hannibal Clapp, was particularly interesting to me as I recently took up the mandolin — fiddles and mandolins are tuned the same, and fiddle music can be played almost note for note on the mandolin. A mandolin teacher I knew from Maine asked me if I knew anything about the tune “Setauket” when he learned I live in Setauket. He said it’s a favorite tune of many traditional mandolin

and fiddle players. I didn’t know of the tune and reached out to Bev Tyler who thought it was probably a tune that William Sidney Mount or his brother, both fiddle players, might have written. “Setauket” is a wonderful tune and it is fun to play on the fiddle or mandolin. You can find a version by Geoff Seitz and Marc Rennard on YouTube.

Going around in circles

T

he following dialogue was inspired by an actual conversation. No friendships ended as a result of this interaction. Joe: That’s interesting. Aaron: What made it interesting? Joe: It held my interest. Aaron: That’s tautological. Joe: What does tautological mean? Aaron: It’s a kind of circular argument, like something is interesting because it held your interest. So, what’s interesting about what I said? No, you By Daniel Dunaief see,Joe: it’s not what you said, so much as the way you said it and, of course, the fact that it was, indeed, you who said it. Like, remember that time you said that our boss was having an affair with the man she kept insulting at work and then, lo and behold, she was?

D. None of the above

Aaron: Yes, I remember that was because she was having an affair with you. Joe: Oh, right. Good times. Aaron: Can you tell me how what I said interested you? Joe: But, first, did you read the latest thing about Donald Trump? Aaron: Which one? Joe: The one where he’s mad at the media and the media is reporting about stuff he says isn’t true. Aaron: You’re going to have to be more specific than that. Joe: You want specifics? How about Russia? Aaron: What about it? It’s a country. Joe: You’re funny. Aaron: Stop calling me funny and tell me what Trump and the media are disagreeing about. Joe: Are you angry? Aaron: I’m trying to have a conversation. Joe: Conversation. That’s interesting. Aaron: What’s interesting? Joe: It’s like the way you’re looking at me right now. You know what I mean? Aaron: Nope. Joe: You have your eyes open and

your eyebrows are up, like you’re expecting me to say something interesting, when, you know, you’re the one who always says interesting things. I read interesting things. This morning, I read something compelling about Trump and the media. Aaron: OK, let’s go with that. What was compelling about it? Joe: It was just, you know, well, maybe you wouldn’t think it’s compelling and maybe you knew it already, which means I probably don’t have to tell you. Aaron: I want to talk about something. Joe: We are talking about something. We’re talking about me and you and this weather. You know what I’m saying? Aaron: Not really. Joe: The weather is all around us, right? And, it’s all around everyone else. Except that, when people are somewhere else, the weather around them isn’t the same as it is here. So, to experience weather, you really have to be here. Aaron: Right, uh huh. Go on. Joe: Now you’re looking at me differently. You’re frowning. You

need to laugh more often. That’s your problem. Aaron: I don’t have a problem. I’m trying to have a conversation. Joe: About what? Aaron: Well, a few minutes ago, you said what I said was interesting and I’ve been waiting patiently to find out what you thought was interesting about it. Joe: Oh. Let me think. I’m going to replay the entire conversation in my head and then I’ll let you know. Aaron: Right, sure. Joe: No, really. Was it before or after the conversation about the weather? Aaron: Before. Joe: See, I was listening. I remembered that we talked about the weather. Aaron: You weren’t listening to me. You were listening to you. You brought up the weather. Joe: Right, OK, I have a confession to make. I wasn’t listening to what you said all that closely, but I know it was interesting. Aaron: What part? Do you remember any of the conversation? Joe: Not really. I have to go. It’s been nice chatting with you.

TBR News Media video post goes viral amid concern for our children

A

man at a March 14 PTA meeting in a high school in Rocky Point, New York, confronts a student in the aisle and holds a knife over his head. The pocket knife is closed and the man is trying to make a point about the need for security on behalf of the students in the school, including his two daughters. It is a heart-stopping moment, and the video was By Leah S. Dunaief provided to TBR News Media by a senior student named Jo Herman. We ran the video, along with the story of the meeting, on our website, Facebook page and YouTube. Such is the world we live in and the concern of parents around the nation that, to date,

Between you and me

the Facebook video post has been seen by more than 11.3 million viewers. The total reach for all our Facebook posts last week was in excess of 17 million. That’s 17 MILLION plus, about the same as the entire population of the Netherlands. In addition, there have been many thousands of shares and comments on our Facebook page and our website. These numbers were supplied to us by Facebook Insights, the dashboard of Facebook and the most authentic source. If ever we needed evidence of this world we are living in today, and the heartfelt concern of parents throughout the United States, here it is. Could there be any parents who feel untouched by the concern for the safety of their children in the schools? Children have become the latest targets of an assassin’s gun.

children themselves, who are able to procure weapons and turn them on their teachers and classmates. Those 11 million viewers and all the rest of the parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives and friends of children who haven’t seen this video are no less terrified at the tragedies that have already been perpetrated and the violence that may yet come. What is to be done? There are many reactions. Our children have realized their political clout and called for action with their walkouts and 17 moments of silence. Politicians in various states have proposed legislation, even passed legislation in one state, Florida, to try to gain control of this madness. The state is being sued for doing so, and the president offers words. Consider this.

our arms around this horror? Social media can be great. It can be a miracle thread that connects us, informs us, unites us. It can also be a misery, as governments around the world are realizing. Facebook has been corrupted by its inability to prevent personal information from being stolen by nefarious thieves. But it has delivered a loud and clear message with the frenzy of response to a single incident in a small town on Long Island: The population is frightened, more frightened than by any attacks made against us by foreign nations or religious fanatics in the past. This threat is inside our defenses and until now seemingly unstoppable. Yes, we need gun control. Yes, we need mental health services. Yes, we need greater vigilance. Yes, we need protection. We need all of that and more. Most of all, we need leadership, not contention, because this is a moment that is shaking our republic in its heart.
