Port Jefferson Village residents and visitors should soon notice stronger cellphone reception near two locations: village hall and the country club.

Cell signals to be boosted at village hall, country club in PJ They say in life communication is key. Those in the vicinity of Port Jefferson Village Hall and the Port Jefferson Country Club should soon expect to see improved cellphone signal reception thanks to an action taken by the village board Feb. 5. The board unanimously passed a resolution approving the design of the two Verizon antennas. According to village Mayor Margot Garant, the antennas will not resemble the controversial cellphone towers being debated in places like the Village of Old Field. The mayor described Port Jeff’s new signal boosters in an email as “completely noninvasive and hidden.” She said they are small boards that will be placed behind wood in the cupolas, or small domes typically adorning the roof of a building. She said the devices will strengthen cellular reception in the vicinity of the two locations and would net the village about $13,000 annually in revenue per unit. She added that the installation was desired in part as a way to alleviate an ongoing issue of inefficient cell service at and around the country club and village beaches, all located in the northeastern corner of Port Jefferson. “We need cell service at the country club and beaches desperately for emergency-related services,” she said. Board t rustee Stanley Loucks, who also serves as the board’s liaison to the recreation department, expressed similar concerns about signal strength at the club. “There are many areas on the country club property where there is absolutely no service,” Loucks said. “You can actually move a few feet and lose service. This has been a problem for many years and presents a dangerous situation. Golfers, tennis players, maintenance workers and club guests can and have experienced situations

where assistance was needed, and they could not make contact with anyone. This becomes more of a problem when you are on or near our beaches.” Residents’ concerns about the safety of stronger cellphone signals in close proximity to communities have abounded during the Village of Old Field’s public discourse about a proposed tower at a public park, known by many as Kaltenborn Commons, located at the intersection of Old Field Road and Quaker Path. Oleg Gang, who works at Brookhaven National Laboratory and lives close to the proposed Old Field cellphone tower location, was among those who voiced opposition due to health risks. According to the website of the American Cancer Society, there is currently very little evidence to support the idea of cellphone towers increasing the risk of cancers or other health problems. Others in Old Field have also balked at the proposal because of the look of the tower. The proposed tower is similar to one installed in Belle Terre Village in recent years, according to Tanya Negron, founder of Elite Towers, a Long Island-based company that develops wireless telecommunications tower sites and is working on the Old Field project. In August 2016, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York) revealed a list of areas on Long Island deemed to be “dead zones” for cellphone service. The list was compiled through a crowdsourcing campaign and included Crystal Brook Hollow Road in Port Jefferson Station, North Country Road in Port Jefferson and Norton Avenue in Terryville. “A heavily populated region like Long Island shouldn’t be home to over 200 dead zones,” Schumer said at the time, adding shoddy cell service could be a deterrent for individuals or businesses looking to move to the area.

PERSPECTIVE Asking Congressman Lee Zeldin to explain himself

We’ve seen a number of letters in this paper where you [U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley)] expound on all the great things you’ve done for your district. However, it seems to me that you either have forgotten about or don’t want us to know some of your votes and issues you’ve supported, especially relating to gun control. The horrific events at the Parkland high school in Florida happened because a 19-year-old was able to walk into the school with an AR-15-style rifle, which he legally bought, and murder 17 people. Some of the children who survived the shooting, the deadliest school

lems with the mentally ill rather than ensure that people with mental illness cannot buy a gun? Then please explain why you voted “yes” on the bill to nullify the Obama-era rule that prohibited people with severe mental health issues from purchasing guns? Granted there was lots of evidence that the shooter’s behavior should have triggered alarm in those around him, but it is unclear whether recognizing and trying to deal with the signs would have changed what this young man wanted to do that day. However, it is clear that if he couldn’t buy an AR-15, he more than likely could not have been able to kill 17 people. So, I ask you, will you support a ban on assault-style weapons? The day after the school shooting in Florida, in a Facebook post, you expressed sympathy for the victims and their parents. Taking President Donald Trump’s lead, however, you never used the word “gun,” as if the carnage were just about the person. According to MoveOn.org, you have received $33,732 from the National Rifle Association. So, here, I have to again wonder whether your views on gun control have more to do with gun sales than with gun rights. The majority of Americans, even most gun owners, as well as the majority of Republicans, support enhanced background checks

shooting since Sandy Hook, are speaking out: “How are we allowed to buy guns at the age of 18 or 19? That’s something we shouldn’t be able to do,” Lyliah Skinner, a student who survived the shooting, told CNN. Beginning with the attack at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, life for many of our children has become about practicing active shooter drills and huddling through lockdowns. So I have to wonder about your position on gun control. I question whether you care about what many children now have to deal with when they go to school. On Jan. 14, 2014, after the Newtown massacre, in a letter to the New York State Senate, you wrote, “This debate should be even more focused on targeting illegal guns and providing maximum assistance to New Yorkers with mental illnesses in order to most directly avoid another tragedy like Newtown. Our focus ... has to be providing people in need of mental health care more access to help. Society as a whole also needs to better understand mental illness and develop improved means of detecting potential violence long before it can become a threat to anyone else.” So it seems you believe the solution to some of these mass shootings is that we need to better detect prob-

Why don’t you? Is it about the money you can get from the NRA rather than what most people want? What’s more important to you: That anyone, even someone who is mentally ill, should be able to buy an AR-15 or ensuring that our children are kept safe? On Dec. 6 you co-sponsored H.R. 38 — the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. This act authorizes someone who holds a concealed-carry permit issued in one state to carry a concealed firearm in any state that also authorizes

concealed carry of firearms. This bill overrides federal law concerning the concealed carry of a firearm into a school zone or onto a federally owned property. In case I have misrepresented any of your positions, and if you are really committed to keeping our children — and your own — safe, how about holding an in-person town hall meeting so we can discuss these issues?

TOWN

Brookhaven moves funds to aid in energy-efficient streetlight upgrades BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

ALEX PETROSKI

And Brookhaven Town said: “Let there be light.” The town unanimously approved a resolution at its Feb. 8 board meeting authorizing the repurposing of unused funds received as part of a 2009 grant to the townwide street lighting fixture replacement capital project. The town began the process of replacing old, high-wattage streetlights with LED, energy-efficient ones in 2013. In 2015, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) announced a five-year, capital plan, called the Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Initiative, which was established with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2020. An estimated $1.45 million of that plan was slated for energy-efficient street lighting fixes. The Feb. 8 authorization to repurpose the funds added $943,000 to aid in the upgrades. The new LED streetlights — white light that increases visibility for drivers and in turn increases safety for pedestrians and bicyclists on the roadways — increase energy efficiency and reduce costs for taxpayers by decreasing electricity used. Romaine said during a Feb. 5 board work session about 6,000 of the town’s 40,000 streetlights have been upgraded, and are es-

The unused money was left over from a U.S. Department of Energy block grant program, allocated to the town in 2009 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act federal stimulus package, to fund the town’s Green Homes and Go Solar initiatives. Brookhaven received more than $4 million to fund the two — Green Homes seeks to help residents make their homes more efficient at little or no cost, and Go Solar pays town residents’ upfront costs for

solar panel installation. As a result of the funds being repurposed, Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) questioned whether or not this would be the end of the Green Homes and Go Solar programs. The money that will be saved will allow for funds to become available to create a replacement program that will aid in energy efficiency, according to Cartright. “One of my concerns when I saw this was on the agenda, was that I was hoping this repurposing would not mark the end of these

types of programs,” Cartright said during the meeting. “But I’m happy to announce after speaking to the supervisor and our Housing and Human Services Department, and of course our commissioner of finance, it looks like we may be able to create basically a townsponsored grant where there will be revolving loans, which would also help individual homeowners have more energy-efficient homes, as well as including a component of upgrading sanitary systems. We’re looking into all of the details here and plan to form a committee.” Romaine announced the plan is to establish a program that would allow for these initiatives to potentially continue, through energy efficiency audits made available for town homeowners, even providing funding to do upgrades. Romaine said the details are still being worked out and will be officially announced sometime in March. Romaine thanked Cartright for raising the concerns about the two longrunning Brookhaven programs. “It will apply townwide,” the supervisor said about the soon-to-come program. “It will be to encourage homeowners in Brookhaven to do energy audits, and to provide the funding in either a low interest or no interest loan to make those improvements and make Brookhaven the most energy-efficient town that we possibly can be.”

COUNTY Local districts respond to Florida shooting BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

MOUNT SINAI

Since news of the shooting broke last Wednesday, Mount Sinai Superintendent Gordon Brosdal said he and other administrators and members of the board of education have been thoroughly discussing, evaluating and prioritizing security upgrades across the district’s three buildings to make its existing emergency preparedness plan even safer. He said residents will see upgrades sooner rather than later. “These are tense times now, and the safety of students and staff is paramount,” Brosdal said. “We’ve been fortunate in the past, but you can’t take anything for granted anymore.” Some of the upgrades currently being considered include the installation of more security cameras in each building in the district; security films for all windows that deter attackers from gaining access to a building via shooting through glass, buying students, teachers and staff more time to escape in the process; the implementation of identification badges for school staff and different-colored lanyards to be worn in each building to pinpoint outsiders; the hiring of retired law enforcement personnel inside the elementary, middle and high schools — currently the district has two outdoor security guards who monitor traffic entering and exiting the school grounds; and a better monitoring system on the district’s entranceway alongside Route 25A. “We are having real, hard discussions about this,” Brosdal said. “We also fielded calls from parents last week.” The district’s existing emergency operations plan, Brosdal said, includes lockdown drills, evacuation procedures and relocation of students from one school to another in emergency situations. He added that, at Mount Sinai, all visitors must enter the buildings through a security vestibule and are required to show identification and state a reason for entering the building. He said each building in the district is equipped with the School Active Violence Emergency hotline, an emergency notification system rolled out by Suffolk County in 2013 in response to the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012. With the push of a button, the phone systems are programmed to automatically bypass normal communication channels and immediately dial the county police 911 center supervisor. The program displays the school’s location and initiates an immediate dispatch to the nearest available emergency responders. According to Suffolk Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), who helped launch the system, only 34 out of 70 school districts are equipped with it. However, she hopes

The shots fired in a Florida high school last week are ringing out across Suffolk County. Immediately following the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 students and faculty members dead, Suffolk County school district officials began to batten down the hatches and inform residents that preparations are in place if an active shooter situation were to occur closer to home.

Editorial comment

An assault rifle, the weapon of choice in many mass shootings, including the Feb. 14 massacre at a Florida high school that changes in light of the latest tragedy. “When they send a child to school after events like this, parents feel helpless — they have no control over what happens to their child throughout the day and have no choice but to rely on school and law enforcement security,” Anker said. “So, by working together, this program creates a stronger network of security for students in the schools. As soon as that phone rings, within eight seconds, the response process begins.”

SHOREHAM-WADING RIVER

Over at Shoreham-Wading River Central School District, Superintendent Gerard Poole released a letter to parents the day after the Florida shooting, ensuring that “safety and security for our students, staff and visitors is a daily topic within our schools” and is the first agenda item at each administrative meeting. “When we hear of these tragedies, we are reminded that our district’s preparedness for any emergency situation is of the utmost importance,” Poole said in the letter. “Each school conducts drills related to evacuation, lockdown and lockout. These drills are observed by our security team and assessed for improvements.” He added that this past summer, the district hired an outside security consultant firm to add an extra level of expertise to its plans, drills and overall preparedness. In the Emergency Planning Information for Parents tab located on the district’s website, some of Shoreham’s security procedures are outlined: Outside doors are locked when school is in session; security guards are at each school, checking entrances to monitor the district’s access points and perimeters; all school visitors must obtain a pass; and school personnel are required to wear photo ID badges. “On an ongoing basis, the district is reviewing its use of technology to further strengthen our security plans,” Poole said. “In addition, with the support of our security consultants, the district recently completed a security audit and developed a multipronged plan to further enhance the safety and security of our campuses.” According to the district, unique variables are occasionally implemented into the drills, like a blocked exit, in order to present a more realistic scenario.

PORT JEFFERSON

“Although teaching and learning is our core mission, families, first and foremost, want to know that their loved ones are safe at school,” said Port Jefferson Superintendent Paul Casciano in a Feb. 15 email. He

explained that, in preparedness for a similar situation, emergency drills are conducted regularly at the school, security guards are in place and cameras are installed throughout the district’s property. “We are working collaboratively with the Suffolk County Police Department to identify areas for continued attention moving forward.” He also said that in the aftermath of the Florida shooting, discussions were held in classrooms for students and efforts will continue to be made to alleviate stress, anxiety and depression in them. “Internally, we are working with students through a variety of programs and strategies to address their social-emotional health,” he said.

ELWOOD

Kenneth Bossert, superintendent of the Elwood school district, said while he is hesitant to make public any portion of the school’s full emergency preparedness plan, in an effort to shield tactics from the “bad guys,” the district does plan for all types of emergencies on a consistent basis. In cooperation with the Suffolk County Police Department, he said the district conducts a minimum of four scheduled drills per year. On the night of the Florida shooting, Bossert made, what he called, a rather lengthy phone call to all parents to share this information and put minds at ease. “We’re all in this together,” he said.

SMITHTOWN

For better protection against intruders, this school district is equipped with the Raptor Visitor Management System, a webbased monitoring software designed to track visitors and electronically check them against public databases, as well as exterior cameras for all its elementary buildings, according to Superintendent James Grossane. He also said each school building has accesscontrolled doors operated by a swipe card. “I want to reassure you that we take school safety and security very seriously,” Grossane said in a letter to parents. “Our schools are a safe place. As a district, we continuously review and improve our districtwide Emergency Management Plan as needed to incorporate any new policies or improvements in security equipment. Additionally, all district staff undergo annual training on the emergency response plan, and students and staff participate in drills throughout the school year.” Grossane included a website link for the National Association of School Psychologists, and the organization’s document “Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents

Social media threat BY ALEX PETROSKI Days after a shooting killed 17 at a high school in Florida, a threat was made via social media against Port Jefferson High School, according to an email sent to parents in the district by Superintendent Paul Casciano. “Today our high school administration was made aware of an alleged threat via social media,” Casciano’s email said. The message went out just before midnight Feb. 15. The district sent out an update to parents on the situation Friday afternoon and posted the message on its website. “While I know that there are many questions that you may have, please understand that there is a limit to the amount of information we are permitted to share publicly about this type of situation,” Casciano said in the notice to parents. “Please know that the individual responsible for the threat has been identified and that our district is complying with the Suffolk County Police Department with their ongoing investigation into this matter.” The superintendent’s message sought in part to dispel what he referred to as “a firestorm of rumors,” on social media. “At no time today or yesterday were any of our campuses on lockdown/ lockout, no evacuation occurred and no bomb threat was made against any of our school facilities,” he said. “The police presence on campus was intended to put our parents and students at ease and was a direct result on the before mentioned ongoing investigation.” The Suffolk County Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reporting contributed by Kevin Redding. and Teachers” for students coping with the recent tragedy.

KINGS PARK

Superintendent Timothy Eagen at nearby Kings Park school district also provided information from the NASP website to parents and informed them that psychologists and school counselors were available to students in the days following the tragedy. In his letter, Eagen urged parents to speak with their children about the importance of reporting concerning activities they might see or hear from other students to adults, as many perpetrators of school shootings tend to leave clues leading up to their eventual rampages. These signs, he said, may include posts to social media relating to weapons, cruelty to animals or any reference to past tragedies, like Columbine. “Even though yesterday’s events seem far away from Kings Park, they are a frightening reminder of the importance of safety and the potential impact of senseless acts of violence,” Eagen wrote in a Feb. 15 letter. “[But] while the world can sometimes seem out of control, schools are incredibly safe places where children experience security, normalcy, inclusion and connections to positive possibilities. As I have often said, the three pillars of Kings Park are: Pride, service and family. Our collective vigilance will help to ensure that Kings Park remains a safe place to live and raise a family.”

LONG ISLAND Diocese compensation program to help clergy victims BY ALEX PETROSKI AND SARA-MEGAN WALSH

A 40-year-old secret

A man alleging childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a St. James priest stepped forward Feb. 15 to share his story publicly for the first time. Steve Werner, 59, of North Carolina, alleged that as a teenager growing up on Long Island, he was repeatedly inappropriately touched by Father Peter Charland, a priest at Sts. Philip & James R. C. Church in St. James — a Diocese of Rockville Centre church — in the early 1970s. “This opportunity is part of my own healing processing of being able to uncover the secret I’ve carried with me for 40-something years,” he said. Werner said he joined Sts. Philip & James’ Christian singing group, the PJ Folk Singers, led by Charland when he was 11 years old. The musical group, at its height, had more than 100 members consisting of parishioners and children from the surrounding communities, according to Werner’s attorney J. Michael Reck of Jeff Anderson & Associates. Werner said it didn’t take long for him to notice that Charland was giving him preferential treatment. The priest offered him special parts in plays, a leadership role in the musical group, even gifted him a trumpet, according to Werner. “Those behaviors, as they built, the amount of touching that occurred increased and increased,” he said. Werner alleged he spent time alone with Charland in the church’s rectory, in the priest’s car, and even took private flights alone with the priest, whom he claims had a pilot’s license. The musical group also traveled overseas to tour Romania under Charland’s supervision. “I certainly thought it was wrong but I didn’t feel it was appropriate for me to stand up,” Werner said. “It’s something I regret.”

SARA-MEGAN WALSH

A group of lawyers is working to deliver a clear message to survivors of sexual abuse at the hands of clergy members: You are not alone. Lawyers Helping Survivors of Child Sex Abuse, a national team of attorneys, released a report Feb. 5 detailing allegations of childhood sexual abuse made against 51 individuals associated with the Diocese of Rockville Centre. The report, titled Hidden Disgrace II, is comprised of clergy referenced but not named in a 2003 Suffolk County grand jury investigation of the diocese, those accused in previous media reports and individuals accused by survivors. The goal of the report was to create a central location where Long Islanders can easily find information about accused clergy members, to empower survivors and to enlighten communities to the abusers’ diocese appointments, according to Jerry Kristal, an attorney at the law firm Weitz & Luxenberg, who joined up with the law group behind the report. At least one North Shore survivor has felt empowered and publicly shared his story in the aftermath of the report’s release. The group is also working to make the public aware of the April 30 deadline to file a claim with the diocese compensation program for victims of abuse.

A victim of a priest at Saints Philip & James Roman Catholic Church in St. James came forward to share his story publicly last week. Father Charland left the St. James parish in 1975. His name disappeared from all church records made available by the diocese after 1976, according to Reck. New York State records show Charland was a certified social worker from 1978 until his death in 2004. “It appears the church made no offer to warn the community of his dangerous proclivities,” Reck said. It wasn’t until 2013 that Werner found the courage to tell someone about his alleged abuse. He shared his story with his mother and a few close friends in an email. Werner said in recent years he has reconnected with other members of the PJ Folk Singers and heard tales that echo his own. He is in treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder related to his alleged abuse, Werner said, and struggles to cope with his own feelings of shame and guilt. Requests for comment from members of the PJ Folk Singers were not returned. The St. James church said it had no comment on Werner’s allegations and deferred questions to the diocese.

Not alone

Werner filed a claim, through his attorney Reck, with the Diocese of Rockville Centre’s Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Plan for survivors of sexual abuse by clergy members. He is one of eight former members of The P.J. Folk Singers filing claims that they were sexually abused by Charland as teenagers. “By the filing of these claims, we pose the question of what did the church officials know and what could have been done to save these children from being exposed,” Reck said. “By submitting these claims, we hope these allegations will be investigated and the knowledge made public, so these events can never happen again.” Reck said his law firm has reason to believe the church knew of Charland’s alleged actions, as parishioners, family members and survivors allege they made reports to the diocese in the ’70s. The lawyer shared the priest’s letter. Charland, in citing the reasons he left the St. James church wrote, “I found myself becoming more and more self-cen-

tered and self-absorbed. As I look back on it now, I realize I had fallen prey to such miserable characteristics because of my own personal loneliness. I do not say this by way of excuse. … The truly scary part is knowing I was beginning to hurt people despite my best intentions to never do that to anyone. For this, I remain truly sorry.”

Accused North Shore priests

Several clergy members named in Hidden Disgrace II served at churches and other facilities on Long Island. The report says the allegations should not be considered substantiated claims, but rather public accusations, unless otherwise indicated in the report. Among those named in the report is Father James C. Miller, who was assigned to St. Anthony of Padua R.C. Church in East Northport and St. Gerard Majella Church in Port Jefferson Station in the ’90s. Miller was sued along with the diocese in 1994 for allegedly sexually abusing two teenage boys at St. John the Baptist High School in West Islip, though he denied allegations, according to a 2002 Newsday report. He was moved to a position that did not involve working with children following the suit, including serving as chaplain at St. Charles Hospital and John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, according to the website www. bishop-accountability.org, which was also the source material for much of Hidden Disgrace II. Father Joseph Mundy was also assigned to St. Gerard Majella, along with stops at St. James R.C. Church in Setauket and St. John the Baptist Church in Wading River during the ’80s and ’90s. The report alleges Mundy was Priest A in the 2003 Suffolk grand jury investigation. The grand jury’s findings cite Priest A, “took a 14-year-old boy to a gay club in New York City where he and other patrons engaged in sexual activity with the boy.” Mundy left the priesthood in 1999 according to www.bishop-accountability.org. Two of the 51 priests were assigned to St. Margaret of Scotland Church in Selden. Public accusations against Father Angelo Ditta, the report alleges, match the descriptions of Priest H in the grand jury report, who alleged-

ly began abusing a boy when he was 10 years old. Ditta was assigned to positions away from children beginning in 1998 and was removed from duty in 2002. Father Gabriel Massaro was publicly accused of abusing a 12-year-old boy from St. Margaret of Scotland in Selden during retreats in 1979, according to a 2002 Newsday report. He continued receiving assignments outside of the Rockville Centre diocese through 2005, according to www.bishop-accountability.org. When asked for comment on the report, representatives from the various churches and facilities named in this section either did not respond to requests for comment or declined, directing inquiries to the diocese. “We as a church recognize that no amount of monetary compensation could ever erase or undo the grave harm suffered by survivors of child abuse,” Sean Dolan, diocese director of communications, said in a statement when asked about the report. “Still, we embrace Christ’s healing power and the Mission of Mercy of the Catholic Church as we continue our Independent Reconciliation and Compensation program. We stand in solidarity with our survivors and their families, and we continue our commitment and vigilance to the protection of children in our Church and in society.”

Compensation program

During a phone interview, Kristal said details of other accusations against clergy members have not been made available by Rockville Centre, and added if it is in fact serious about standing by survivors, perhaps it should make the information publicly accessible. “Making amends, whatever that means to survivors, they have the information,” Kristal said. “That’s the one entity that has all of this information, so we would urge them to come out with something similar put out by them. That would be wonderful.” A survivor who wishes to file a claim under the IRCP prior to the April 30 deadline must begin by registering online with the Washington, D.C., law firm overseeing the program as a neutral party. If he or she meets the two criteria set by the diocese — that the abuse was done by a priest or deacon and that the abuser was part of the Diocese of Rockville Centre — a claim form can then be filled out. Lawyers Helping Survivors of Child Sex Abuse, or any other personal lawyer, could step in to assist in filing the claim should a survivor seek assistance. Once a claim is filed, administrators from the law firm overseeing the program evaluate the claim. If an offer to settle is presented to a survivor, they can either accept or reject the offer. Those who reject the offer and whose abuse took place outside of New York’s statute of limitations — which are considered among the strictest in the U.S., according to Kristal — would have no further recourse unless laws are changed. Those who accept settlement money give up the right to bring a lawsuit in the event of future law changes. Survivors are the only participants in the program permitted to speak publicly about their abuse — the diocese and administrators from the law firm are bound to confidentiality.

Port Jefferson Rotary Club

In early January, the Port Jefferson Middle School student council set out to help children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses when they established a goal to raise $2,018 to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Pennies for Patients campaign. As a result of the overwhelming support of students and staff members, the student council not only met but surpassed its goal, raising a total of $2,766. To achieve this goal, the students held various fundraisers, including after-school bake sales and Pajama Friday, where staff

and students paid up to $5 to wear their PJs to school. They also created posters and sold blood drop stickers to cover a Make Cancer Disappear wall in the school. “It’s such a pleasure to not only see our students engage in helping others but our whole school community come together to support their efforts,” said Allison Giannusa, adviser and an English teacher at the school. The social studies classes also held their own competition and Philip Giannusa’s eighth-period class raised the most money with a total of $575.

Fundraising goal surpassed

Most motivated student

On Feb. 13, Bob Neidig, Port Jefferson Middle School principal, introduced the newest Port Jefferson Rotary Club Most Motivated Student of the Month honoree — sixth-grader Viviane Kim. Viviane was accompanied at the luncheon at Cafe Spiga in Mount Sinai by her father, her nominating teacher Chuck Ruoff, and Sean Leister, Port Jefferson School District’s assistant superintendent for business. In presenting the award-winning student, Neidig spoke glowingly about her impressive grade point average (almost 100 over two quarters), and quoted her teachers, who helped select Viviane for the honor. Her writing teacher referred to her as a conscientious student, an active participant in

class proceedings, and a pleasure to teach. Her science teacher praised Viviane as one of the hardest workers in her class, who frequently asks questions to extend her knowledge and challenge herself, as well as her willingness to work with her peers and share with them what she has learned. Viviane’s math and social studies teachers called her well-rounded, smart, friendly, dedicated and helpful, while her reading teacher estimated Viviane reads about 10 books outside of the required class reading on her own. In summarizing his remarks and congratulating Viviane, Neidig stated that her talents and abilities have already demonstrated that with continued persistence, she should be able to accomplish anything she sets her mind to.

Applying science

DENIZ YILDIRIM

Scientific principles such as friction, potential and kinetic energies, torque, chassis, traction and aerodynamics were investigated and applied by students at the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Jefferson Academic Center in their quest to engineer the winning rubber band car for the annual Tech Champion of Champions competition. “This project was selected to give students the opportunity to be creative, practice engineering skills and be cooperative working in groups,” tech teacher Ramesh Nathai said. Sixty students designed rubberband cars. They had to identify a design, brainstorm, construct and test the design, evaluate, possibly redesign their car and share their solutions with the class. The competitive event allowed the students to learn life lessons about taking turns, winning and losing, and good sportsmanship. After tabulating the results, the champion was Sebastian, a William Floyd school district student. His car traveled 59 feet. Second, third and fourth place finishers and their respective districts were William, East Islip (55); Alex, Three Village (54); and Ryan, William Floyd (48).

Terryville Road Olympics

Terryville Road Elementary School celebrated the 2018 Winter Olympics not just by cheering for team USA but by getting in the games themselves. Physical education teacher George Chesterton wanted his school to experience the Olympics by getting up and learning the skills our Olympians need to compete in the world’s foremost sports competition. At the start of each class Chesterton explained that athletes train for years, both physically and mentally, and that each of the stations would allow students to experience this kind of conditioning. His creative and engaging stations included cross-country skiing (students stand on “skis” and hold handmade ski poles); speed skating (students slip

mesh bags over their sneakers and “skate” over a mat); bobsledding (students use special equipment to push themselves around the floor); curling (students roll a ball into various hula hoops); and even a yoga station (to practice controlled breathing and calming your nerves). From balance to patience, these challenging but fun activities allowed students to experience what the life of a professional athlete entails. “I believe my students will accomplish great things, and for some that may mean competing in the Olympics,” Chesterton said. “It’s an honor to be a part of their growth.” — DENIZ YILDIRIM

COUNTY

Suffolk passes sexual harassment, discrimination laws All those in favor say #MeToo and #TimesUp. In a unanimous 18-0 vote, county lawmakers passed legislation that will set better standards and practices regarding sexual harassment and misconduct in the workplace for county employees. During its Feb. 6 meeting, members of the Suffolk County Legislature pushed forward two bills sponsored by Legislator Monica Martinez (D-Brentwood). “My hope with these laws is that we become a safer county, that it gives something to build a foundation on and that people can feel comfortable in the workforce here,” Martinez said. “To me, it was mindboggling that we didn’t really have anything set in the county, especially being one of the biggest counties and employers, so I’m proud of it and I really thank my colleagues for supporting me.” The first bill mandates the director of the Office of Labor Relations provide county legislators statistics on “the number, type and disposition of employee disciplinary proceedings” involving sexual harassment or discrimination for 2015, 2016 and 2017 within 90 days; and submits this information by Feb. 28 of each year, starting in 2019. The bill also states that the county attorney must issue a report that contains a list of all sexual harassment and discrimination claims filed against Suffolk County in court, plus the settlement of

any litigation claims, for 2015, 2016 and 2017 within 90 days; and, again, submit this annually starting in 2019. “The way the resolution in the policy is designed is that it would be broken down between county departments and, within each department, the division within that department will have a more concise gathering of data,” Martinez said, adding that names will be redacted from the data to protect the privacy of those involved. “This will really help us hone in on what’s going on and who we need to focus on in each department.” She added she hopes the bill can help prevent sexual harassment lawsuits and reduce costs for taxpayers in the future. According to Martinez and the elected officials who co-sponsored and supported the bill — including Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville), Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) and Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) — the legislative body as a whole has never been made aware of these kinds of settlements or given insight into how many active complaints there are or the nature of those complaints, until now. “In the past, if you didn’t ask, you didn’t get it,” Anker said. “But basically, here, we’re not asking, we’re telling them.” Gregory said this will help make things more transparent. “If we see there are things going on and there’s a pattern, then we have to be sure that the proper training is being provided to

‘My hope with these laws is that we become a safer county, that it gives something to build a foundation on and that people can feel comfortable in the workforce here.’ — Monica Martinez

Suffolk County Legislator Monica Martinez sponsored two bills regarding sexual misconduct and harassment in the workplace for county employees. the various departments, or [an] individual department,” Gregory said. “This will give us information so that we can fully exercise our oversight function as a policy-making branch of government.” Hahn agreed, saying that all the women in the Legislature are eager to crack down on this issue. “We want to be sure that our voices are heard,” she said. “When we say ‘me too,’ we are protecting all the women that work for the county and work within the county, and we’re all looking for ways to do more.” She said there’s no question there have been incidents at the county level. “There’s clear understanding that there’s a pervasive problem in our society, and a clear

recognition that those statistics are important for us to understand,” Hahn said. “The better question now is, do we know how many? Do we know how pervasive this is? Do we know if we need more training or better training?” The other bill passed will create a county policy in which all employees hired will be given a “Know Your Rights” pamphlet, maintained by the Department of Civil Service and Human Resources and issued by the director of the Office of Labor Relations. All new employees will be required to sign a document acknowledging they have received the pamphlet. This will inform new employees who to contact if an issue arises and provide accountability.

Smithtown native John Daly, competing in previous races above and on right, and with fellow Team USA members at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, below on left, finished 16th.

John Daly ends Olympic journey on own terms BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

KENDALL WESSENBERG

The third time proved that Smithtown’s John Daly could pick himself up, dust off and start all over again. A skeleton racer, Daly had walked away from the sport he loved after a crushing ending to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Daly had been within striking distance of a coveted medal before the fourth and final race. That’s when his sled popped out of the groove at the starting line, sending him back from fourth place to 15th. Distraught over the mistake, Daly retired from the sport, got a job and moved on with his life. Or so he thought. The red-haired kid, as some of his friends described him years ago, returned to skeleton two years ago, despite a job with medical technology company Smith & Nephew that required him to drive nine hours from Virginia to Lake Placid to train. Over the last two years, he has fought to make it onto his third Olympic team, a feat he accomplished in January. Daly joined his longtime friend and teammate Matt Antoine, representing the United States at PyeongChang. They went head to head against a talented South Korean slider named Yun Sung-bin, who was competing on his home track. The local South Korean hero won gold in convincing fashion, while Antoine and Daly finished 11th and 16th, respectively. Despite the finish Daly was pleased that the final chapter in his Olympic experience didn’t end at Sochi. “I got to do four runs, lift my head up at the end, hold it high, walk off the line and wave to my family,” he said, according to the Associated Press. “That’s something I didn’t get four years ago.”

Indeed, his parents Bennarda and James Daly, who trekked to Vancouver to cheer him on in 2010 and journeyed to Sochi in 2014, also supported their son in person in PyeongChang. “It was fun to see him happy,” his mother said. “He had a good time.” Realistically, she said her son recognized that the odds were stacked against him in South Korea, in part because he hadn’t spent the previous four years preparing for this event the way his competitors had. “He was content with the way he slid,” she said. He had a couple of hits to the wall, which rob sliders, as skeleton racers are called, of critical speed. Still, he “ended on a good note and that made us all feel good.” Daly said her son believed he had run away and hid after the Sochi games, as though he had done something wrong. He realized that wasn’t the right way to handle the mistake at the top of the Russian track.

“He came back to get closure for that race,” she said. James Daly felt this was the best of the three Olympic games, because his son was glowing. “He came and did what he wanted to do, and he didn’t get hurt,” Daly said of his son. “It’s all about the experience.” Bennarda Daly not only enjoyed watching her son rewrite his Olympic script, but she also had the chance to spend quality time with him and with her husband. They attended speed skating events, where the Daly team cheered for fellow Americans. The family walked around the Olympic village with outfits that have the letters USA on them, and although concerned that people might be hostile, especially in light of the ongoing tension in Asia, the atmosphere was high-spirited. “Everyone was polite and kind,” Bennarda Daly said. The hosts “went out of their way to

make everyone feel comfortable.” She was also especially pleased that her son was able to enjoy the final chapter of a long Olympic ride. “Just to see John enjoy the village as a spectator, to go and see other people he’d met along the way and became friends with and to go to things with him was really good,” she said. As for Daly’s skeleton future, Bennarda Daly believes her 32-year old son is truly done. “He feels he’s gotten what he needed,” she said. “He seemed fulfilled.” Looking back on the Olympic and athletic experiences, James Daly appreciated the journey his son took, and the places the family visited as a result. “If it wasn’t for John, we wouldn’t have done the traveling we did,” the elder Daly said. Daly witnessed firsthand how hard his son had to work to attend competitions. A racing official for the sport of skeleton, James Daly enjoyed the contact he had with competitors and their families. “You meet people from all over the country and the world,” he said. “It’s been a great experience. Each country sends their best.” The elder Daly suggested that families angling to make future games need to recognize the roller-coaster ride along the way. “It’s not all glory,” he said. “You have to prepare yourself for the best and the worst. You could think of every kind of scenario that could happen, and then something else would happen.” While the family traveled far and wide to frigid mountains, Daly said the bonechilling cold disappeared each time his son hit the track. “When he gets up there, there’s no more cold,” he said. “It’s just fun. That’s what you came for. You realize if he could do that and get through that, he can get through anything.”

Why Your Home Isn’t Selling

our town seems to have a hot real estate market. You’ve even seen houses in your neighborhood sell quickly. Yet your house still has its “For Sale” sign planted in the front yard after many weeks – perhaps months. So what gives?

The National Association of Realtors suggests if you haven’t received an offer after six showings, you should reassess your home and its potential weaknesses. More often than not, one of two features (or both) is to blame: the condition of your home or the listing price. YOUR HOME’S CONDITION It’s time to view your home with fresh eyes. You should start from the outside and work your way in. 2018 Greenshoot Media

It’s best to physically leave your home. Get in your car and drive away. When you return, pull into your driveway and really scrutinize what you see. Try to imagine yourself as a potential buyer. What is the curb appeal of your home? Then work your way inside. Remember the things that bother you also will bother potential buyers. If you are still living in your home as you are trying to sell it, condition also includes tidiness. It might be difficult, but this is the time to live your tidiest

life. Take extra care to pick up after yourself and remove all clutter. YOUR HOME’S PRICE AND LISTING Another potential problem you might experience could be an overpricing of your home. Remember, any house will sell at the right price. Is your love for your current abode shadowing your best judgment? Consult with your real estate agent regarding sales of comparable

homes in the neighborhood. If your problem isn’t an absence of offers but an absence of walk-throughs, it might be time to revisit your home’s listing. Examine your listing with fresh eyes – or ask a trusted friend to look it over – specifically the photos. Assess both quality and quantity. Listing photos are the biggest deciding factor buyers use to determine which homes to visit. Make sure your listing is working for you – not against you. ©99086

OPINION Letters to the editor

Spare me the ‘thoughts and prayers’ Funds held higher than children’s lives Another 17 people are dead — mowed down by a teenager wielding a semiautomatic weapon. Please, spare me the “thoughts and prayers.” This will continue until easy access to these weapons and the ammunition they take is halted. No other nation on Earth has this problem. All have disturbed individuals, but only one makes it easy to get your hands on an AR-15. It’s legal for an 18-year-old to buy an AR-15 but not a can of beer. That’s crazy. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why we have this problem “only in America.” School shootings have become an American tradition, like homecoming or apple pie. As the satirical website “The Onion” put it: “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.” Please, spare me the talk about “mental health.” Are we going to monitor the mental health of every American? Who draws the line? It’s no accident many of these shooters post pictures of their assault rifle arsenals on Instagram or other social media beforehand. We’ve made them so easy to obtain. It’s a symptom of a sick culture which prizes these weapons as tokens of power and manhood. We’re not talking here about hunting rifles or handguns used for self-protection. We’re talking about a military weapon designed specifically to efficiently kill as many people as quickly as possible. After 20 first-graders were mowed down at Sandy Hook we did nothing. After 58 innocent people enjoying a country music

festival were massacred in Las Vegas we did nothing. I could go on and on, but what’s the point? After Las Vegas, Congress could not even pass a bill to prohibit bump stocks. As long as the NRA, the most powerful lobby in the country, has anything to say about it, the massacres will continue. As long as we decide by our actions that so-called Second Amendment rights take precedence over human life, this will continue. There’s a price to be paid for so-called “Second Amendment rights,” and it’s paid by the child or loved one of somebody else. As long as we keep electing politicians who take money from the National Rifle Association this will continue. Our own congressman, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), the biggest recipient of National Rifle Association funding in New York, hypocritically tweets he’s “praying” for the dead and maimed victims. But last December he co-sponsored a bill to allow people from states with loose or no gun laws to bring their weapons here to New York. So, please, spare me the “thoughts and prayers,” and talk about our “great law enforcement” and better mental health care and better security and arming everybody in some kind of demented re-enactment of a Wild West that never was. It’s only a matter of time before something like this happens right here on Long Island. And as long as we do nothing, we are all responsible.

David Friedman St. James

NRA controls votes as much as purse As a former school nurse, this topic pains me greatly, and the time has come for me to speak out. I am concerned that many campaign war chests have excessive funding by special interest groups and corporations. So, to each member of Congress I ask: How about the National Rifle Association? Did they give you big bucks? Do they essentially hold the purse strings of your campaign, your votes in Congress? Have you become a puppet of the NRA? Do they pull the strings when you vote, just as they control the purse strings? You have sold your votes, your heart, your conscience, your duty and perhaps even your soul to the highest bidder, and they own you. Every time there is a school shooting, or some other mass shooting, how do you feel deep down? I bet you might even send prayers and condolences. We don’t want your false words! We want action now!

Have you ever held the body of a mass shooting victim? Gotten their blood on your clothing, your hands? And had to personally hand that body to the family members? The Second Amendment was written long before assault weapons were developed. I am not anti guns ... I want assault weapons outlawed. I want tight screening before a purchase of weapons or ammunition can be made. And I want the FBI and all other agencies to give serious review to social media postings, words and actions reported, which may indicate a predisposition to violence and leanings to anti-social/radical groups. Members of Congress — how much longer will you do nothing? How much longer will those coins mean more to you than the lives of Americans?

Call it assault rifle 15 What’s in a name? I would not want to be known only by my initials, K.E., and I don’t think most other people would. That might diminish our identities and sense of personal power. So maybe we should start calling the ubiquitous AR-15 by the name assault rifle 15. These assault rifle 15s are responsible for

some of the highest death tolls in mass shootings. We could let that name settle into our collective subconsciousness, and maybe into our own individual consciences.

As I watched the events of Feb. 14 unfold in Parkland, Florida, my heart broke for those in mourning and my ire rose to unthinkable levels at those “in power” who have done nothing to stop these mass murders from happening. I have two main jobs in life, and both are affected every time these horrific catastrophes occur. First and foremost, I am the mother of a young school-age child who I send off every day to a public school. I entrust my child’s life to those in the building where I too once walked the halls as a student, though in a very different time. When I was in elementary school I never once feared that someone with a gun would enter this sacred place of learning and hope to cause me any kind of harm. I felt safe and assured that my teachers would care for me, and that I would return home in exactly the same shape I had left in. Unfortunately, as a mother in 2018, there is a constant sense of hypervigilance that I feel every day, particularly after one of these heinous crimes has occurred. I despise this feeling, but it cannot be helped as I worry about the person who is most precious to me. My second job is as a teacher, and this causes an even deeper level of inner conflict for me. When I walk into the school building I work in every day I cannot imagine allowing anything to ever happen to any of my students. I would not allow any harm to

come to them, but I fortunately have never been confronted by a gunman looking to kill as many people as he possibly can for no apparent reason. The conflict lies in the fact that I feel obligated to protect my students, as much as I would hope my child’s teachers would feel the same, but I also would not want to be killed and have my child suffer the loss of her mother. This is an unfortunate conundrum that teachers have been forced to confront in this day and age, and it is an unreasonable choice that we may be compelled to make. What is the ultimate consequence for acting as a human shield? Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) had the audacity to offer his “thoughts and prayers” while his hypocrisy rose alarmingly with every word he spewed. How dare he talk out of both sides of his face as he co-sponsors the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act? Sadly, he feels no shame about his voting record on gun control, and his supporters continue to cheer him on. And I won’t even waste words concerning Chump and his ignorant ramblings about the Second Amendment. Numerous mass shootings have already occurred in less than two months, and still a Republican-led Congress continues to cater to the National Rifle Association as parents continue to bury their murdered children. Enough is enough.

There’s no substitute for action Columbine. Virginia Tech. Newtown. San Bernadino. Orlando. Sutherland Springs. Las Vegas. And now, Parkland — yet another mass shooting in this country. Sadly, there are more mass shootings in the U.S. than in any other country in the world. And, once again, what is the response we hear from the president and most Republicans in Congress? Prayers, condolences, expressions of sympathy. Those are all well and good, but they are simply not enough; they are no substitute for action. When are we finally going to do something about enacting responsible, sensible gun control legislation? When President Trump spoke a day after the shooting in Florida, he did not talk about the need for stricter gun control laws — in fact, he did not even mention guns. Is he so beholden to the National Rifle Association that he will not even deign to mention the role that guns play in the deaths of so many people in this country? All he would cite as a factor in the Parkland shooting was mental illness — this from a president who actually revoked President Obama’s ban on the sale of guns to mentally ill people. There is no doubt that the current president’s action contributed to a state of affairs where a mentally ill teenager could walk into a gun shop and buy, without any problem whatsoever, a semi-automatic assault rifle. If Trump is so afraid of losing support from the NRA that he will not even broach the subject of the need for better gun con-

trol laws in America, then we must depend on Congress to do so. Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress also refuse to do anything about the problem. When there is a mass shooting, they say that it is not a good time to discuss gun control because that would be “politicizing” a tragedy. Sure enough, a day or two after the Parkland tragedy, Paul Ryan said that we should not become involved in a discussion about gun control. “I think,” he said, “we need to pray” and not have a “knee jerk” reaction to what happened. Yet when the public weeping dies down and the tragedy fades from full media attention, Republican legislators continue to ignore the issue, apparently believing that it is not important enough to merit action or even serious discussion. We know that most congressional Republicans have become dependent on the political and financial support of the NRA. Indeed, our own representative — Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) — has received an “A” rating from that organization. But are campaign checks and endorsements from the NRA more important to our legislators than the lives of the children and adults who are the victims of the never-ending shootings in this country? What must happen before the majority party in Congress finally says, “Enough already”?

EDITORIAL

Reflections following yet another U.S. mass shooting W

e’ve been here before. A shooter kills and maims unarmed, innocent American citizens, and according to the people elected to represent us, it’s never quite the right time to discuss gun control. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) told us last week, now “is not the time to jump to some conclusion,” adding the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, was not about guns, but about “pure evil.” We’re glad students from the high school have rebuked Ryan and his ilk who, as a church sign in Australia put it over the weekend, “love guns more than their kids.” If students who experienced the horror in Florida Feb. 14 firsthand are ready to talk about change, we’re with them. However, we’ll go along with the speaker’s flawed premise and offer some thoughts about the latest mass shooting in the United States without politicizing the discussion: • First, let’s honor the heroes who put themselves in harm’s way, some, making the ultimate sacrifice for their colleagues and classmates. While many have heard of teacher

Scott Beigel, 35, who grew up in Dix Hills and died shielding students from gunfire, have you heard of Anthony Borges? Anthony is a 15-year-old student fighting for his life who saved 20 lives as he attempted to close and lock a classroom door. He was shot five times — in both legs, his upper left thigh and his back. His thigh bone was shattered. • Are all threats taken seriously? A neighbor reported the shooter’s social media account to the FBI in January, making note of his “gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting,” a statement from the FBI read. But nothing was done. Every single hostile message, no matter how small, needs to be noted and handled accordingly. Police need to investi-

gate every threat or mention of harm or disturbance, while schools and their therapists should monitor every student suspect from then on out. • We are extremely impressed by the grace and maturity students from the high school have displayed in their public thoughts on the tragedy. Lasting change being brought about by young voices should be what America is all about. While many had lost hope, grieving students cried out. Yes, it was a terrible tragedy that should never have happened, as is said each and every time a mass shooting occurs, but again nothing is being done. This is why there are plans for a March For Our Lives stomp on March 24 in Washington, D.C., where the people will bring the power. “We are up here standing together, because if all

‘Lasting change being brought about by young voices should be what America is all about.’

our government and president can do is send thoughts and prayers, then it’s time for the victims to be the change that we need to see,” said 18-year-old Emma González. We admire the Parkland high school senior, and the many other students who took to podiums to voice their opinions, concerns and anger. They have a right to be mad, and even more, a right to be heard. David Hogg, a 17-year-old student who survived the shooting, had a similar, strong message to legislators: “Politicians and more importantly the American public must take action if we’re going to prevent the next shooting. To elected officials I say this, ‘Don’t lie to us. Don’t make any more false promises, because when you do, children die.’” He called the time a turning point in American history “where students stand up and speak out — when the politicians won’t.” We hope to see that happen. In the face of division, standing up is not for any political agenda but for the lives of the innocent, like young school children. As Emma González said, and, yes, now we’ll talk about guns: “They say that tougher gun laws do not decrease gun violence. We call B.S.” So do we, Emma.

A close look at an Olympic relationship

T

hey grew up an ocean, and a few months, apart. They spoke different languages, lived in families of different sizes, and competed at high levels in sports from different seasons. And yet Huntington Station’s Sgt. Matt Mortensen, a Winter Olympic soldier-athlete with Team USA who competes in the luge, and Alex Duma, a sports chiropractor in New York, have been dating for close to two years. The world of sports provides common ground for these two 32-year-olds. Duma grew up to become a Romanian women’s national swimming champion and By Daniel Dunaief an All-American swimmer. Mortensen, despite living his early years on the relatively flat terrain of Long Island, dedicated his considerable athletic energy to a sport his father

D. None of the above

Jerry introduced him to when the company where he worked, Verizon, was sponsoring a luge event. Mortensen and Duma met when she was on volunteering at Lake Placid Olympic Training Center. He tried to ask her out for a drink and she turned him down because she didn’t want to consider dating someone she might treat as a patient. Several months later, however, she relented when she knew he wouldn’t consult her professionally. Once they started dating in earnest, her experience as an athlete helped prepare her for the travels, the dedication to training — and the competition. “I understand him really well,” she said. “I’ve been an athlete myself and I do travel with athletes. I understand his lifestyle.” That lifestyle brings challenges that would be difficult for people who weren’t born some 5,000 miles apart. Indeed, as a member of the Army World Class Athlete Program, Mortensen ventures around the globe routinely, competing in World Cup competitions.

Since he was 12, Mortensen learned most of his middle school and high school lessons from work sent from St. Dominic’s in Oyster Bay. He often missed celebrating his December birthday with his family because it fell during the winter luge season. The time on the road, however, helped him grow up more rapidly and, as it turned out, gave him the opportunity to learn other cultures earlier than many of his American contemporaries. The months he spent in Europe “helped bridge the cultural gap,” Duma said. It helped him “understand my European culture.” At the same time, Duma came to the United States when she was 19, so she feels that “a lot of what I am is due to the American culture.” Duma admires Mortensen’s relentless efforts to improve and compete. She has watched how he continues to work out after the season ends, even when the workouts are not required. “He’ll go above and beyond the extra step,” she said. As for their families, Duma grew up as an only child. On another continent,

Mortensen grew up with four brothers and two sisters, in a family of nine. “They are an amazing big family,” Duma said. “I feel so blessed to have been invited to family events,” which include Christmas and Easter. Duma appreciates the noise, the dogs, little kids and the constant commotion, which is a marked contrast from her life in a small family, where it was “too quiet.” Borrowing an oft-quoted line from the movie “Jerry Maguire,” Mortensen said Duma “really completes me.” Mortensen suggested that Duma stay behind and continue to work while he was in PyeongChang. In South Korea, he finished fourth in the luge team relay, a tenth of a second behind the Austrian team for bronze. He wanted her to save up her vacation time so the athletic couple could travel on a planned trip to Hawaii. During the games, the two of them speak by FaceTime and Whatsapp. Ultimately, what makes the relationship work, Duma said, is that her Olympic boyfriend is “such a good communicator. He’s amazing at that.”
