Port Jeff district talks school safety following threat

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

ALEX PETROSKI

School districts and communities have been forced to reflect in the days since a shooter at a high school in Parkland, Florida, killed 17 people.

Port Jefferson School District’s selfexamination included a look at the reaction to a social media threat by a now former student the day after the Feb. 14 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy.

Improving school safety going forward, and a give-and-take between Superintendent Paul Casciano and concerned parents, highlighted a two-hour community meeting inside Port Jefferson High School auditorium Feb. 26.

Casciano shared some details about the district’s handling of the student and the threat, which played out during the final days before mid-winter recess, frequently reminding attendees that he was not at liberty to discuss many of the factors that played into the timeline.

He said district administration became aware of a social media post at the end of the school day Feb. 15 when two students came forward with concerns.

“Although there was no indication that there was an imminent threat to the safety of our students and staff, we take any threat of violence very seriously, and immediately we contacted the police,” the superintendent said.

He said Suffolk County Police Department’s 6th Precinct thoroughly investigated the matter into the night of Feb. 15 and most of the day Feb. 16. He said information, much of which was false, has been spread by parents and members of the community, stemming from a parent.

“Since the investigation was still in progress, I was unable to get any information at that time,” Casciano said. “I was assured that there would be a police presence at the school the next day. We were allowing the

6th Precinct to do their work. We weren’t looking to start spreading the news.”

The superintendent sent out an email to district residents just before midnight Feb. 15 to let parents know a threat had been made, a law enforcement investigation was underway, and that extra precautions would be taken to ensure students and staff felt safe during the Feb. 16 school day. He said he elected not to notify parents via a prerecorded phone message because of the late hour.

“Wake us up,” several parents said in response to Casciano’s rationale behind email notification as opposed to a phone call as to not disturb families.

“I think vague is better than zero,” another parent responded to Casciano’s contention that the presence of an ongoing investigation tied his hands.

Many parents said during the meeting they didn’t see the message until after they had sent their children to school, and as erroneous rumors began spreading on social media of a lockdown or evacuation, parents began pulling students out of school. Casciano sent out a second email around 1 p.m. Feb. 16 with the stated mission in part to dispel a “firestorm” of rumors on social media pages frequented by district parents. The second communication reiterated that an

investigation was ongoing, which prevented the superintendent from being able to fully brief parents on the situation and that the district buildings were safe.

“Your imagination tends to run a little wild, and I think that’s part of the reason why people were looking for an answer,” one parent said of the environment in the hours after rumors began to spread. “I think it would’ve been nice to get a little articulation from you before this.”

Casciano said at the time, he was advised by the SCPD that there was no credible threat of violence, a point that was backed up by 6th Precinct police captain, James Strack, who attended the meeting and fielded a handful of parent questions.

“He doesn’t have access to weapons,” Strack stated when asked about the status of the investigation. He said the student and his family were extremely cooperative, and none of the evidence presented to the district attorney’s office met a criminal threshold.

Casciano said he was assured the student was supervised and “receiving proper care.”

The student, who is not a Port Jefferson resident, attended by paying tuition, and was not arrested following the incident. The child will not be returning, though Casciano declined to specify if the decision was

entirely the district’s.

“I’d like to think it was mutual,” he said.

In addressing increased safety options for the future, the superintendent was clear about a plan being discussed across the country, including at the highest levels of the United States government.

“Teachers with guns make me nervous,” Casciano said. The sentiment was met with applause from the attendees.

The superintendent mentioned suggestions he’d received from parents, which included arming teachers. Other proposals included installation of bulletproof windows, enhancing the number of security personnel, conducting backpack checks or banning them altogether, adding metal detectors, arming security guards and monitoring student social media accounts.

Casciano also detailed some of the safety practices the district employs, including shooter drills, training for staff and students and identification checks for visitors. He also stressed the district’s commitment to mental health awareness.

One parent, Karen Sullivan, pointed to Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit established by relatives of victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, which offers support, strategies and suggestions to familiarize onself with signs that could indicate a student might be troubled.

“I recently signed up to be a promise leader,” she said. “I’ve been in contact with them over the last three or four days, and they have a slew of programs that would be free to our district. They are ready, willing and able to come here to help, and I’m offering my help and my support.”

Casciano said the district will review submitted suggestions as soon as possible while also examining the feasibility and practicality of any option before eventually submitting further safety recommendations to the board of education.

It’s a common question lately for anyone within earshot of the Port Jefferson ferry: What’s that sound?

The Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Company, which docks its vessels on the shores of Port Jefferson Village, is in the midst of a repair project that is addressing critical infrastructure, but it’s also causing residents to wonder aloud when they might have some peace and quiet.

Chesterfield Associates, a privately-owned contracting firm hired by the ferry company, is in the process of replacing sheet steel panels that make up the bulkhead, or retaining wall, that protects the infrastructure below the pier, according to Jeff Grube, the general manager of the firm. Grube said the loud noise residents are periodically hearing is caused by a vibratory hammer, the machinery being used to drive the steel sheets into the underwater soil. If something obstructs the sheet from being driven into the soil — like in one case a submerged barge, according to Grube — that’s when the decibel level is loudest near the waterfront.

“The old sheet piling was corroding to the point where they were starting to lose a lot of fill behind the bulkhead,” Grube said.

He added that structural issues could arise if the repair work were not completed, causing a hazardous situation for anyone using the pier. Grube said Chesterfield Associates constructed the dock in the 1980s, and thanks to regular upkeep by the ferry company, the bulkhead hasn’t needed to be addressed until now, but it was time for the repairs in order to strengthen its critical infrastructure. The general manager said the project is progressing as initially expected, and should be completed by the end of June. The ferry company first submitted an application to the village’s building department Sept. 1, 2017, which estimated the total cost for the project to be nearly $10 million.

The area behind the bulkhead is below the vehicle holding area for the ferry, according to Linda DeSimone, the senior structural engineer for Greenman-Pederson Inc., the design firm overseeing the plan.

“I don’t understand how the village residents are defenseless to this latest issue,” a poster on a closed Facebook group comprised

of Port Jeff village residents said Feb. 20, referring to the loud noise. “Projects should include some type of shielding to prevent residences being rattled like this. I wouldn’t expect to pay for my room downtown, and the noise has to be hurting all village businesses.

Get that thing shut down and keep it shut down till they provide a plan that protects the residents and businesses. No one wants to live in or spend money in the middle of a noisy shipyard construction project.”

Others joined the poster in questioning when a projected end date for the construction is, and if the noise violated village code.

The village does have a section in its code dedicated to noise pollution, which states specific decibel levels not to be exceeded Sunday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. A lower decibel threshold exits for all other hours.

One of the exceptions in the noise pollution section of village code is for construction activities, which are permitted to take place only from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

For this project, the village passed a resolution Sept. 18 allowing the repair work at the ferry to be conducted from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.

The added hours were approved to expedite the completion of the project.

“The hours of relief requested are on the bookends of the workday, so those hours would be mostly for setup and breakdown,” Village Mayor Margot Garant said in September.

Garant said in an email the village has not received many complaints about the noise.

“It’s unfortunate, but this work needs to happen — the ferry is an important, integral part of our harbor,” she said. The mayor added the village has no plans to revisit the section of its code pertaining to noise pollution, but instead will “stay the course and hope they complete [the work] ahead of schedule.”

The ferry company also addressed the repair work in a November 2017 Facebook post.

“The terminal improvements should improve traffic flows and help us to stage vehicles more efficiently,” the post said.

“Thank you for your continued patience and please know how much we appreciate you using our service.”

VILLAGE Bellone nominates local FBI head for police commish Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) is looking to continue the year of firsts for law enforcement.

Bellone announced 21-year FBI veteran Geraldine Hart as his nominee to be the next police commissioner in Suffolk at a press conference Feb. 22. If confirmed by the Legislature, Hart would be the first female police commissioner in Suffolk’s history.

“I am honored for the opportunity to serve the residents of Suffolk County and privileged to serve with the brave, hardworking men and women of the Suffolk County Police Department,” she said. “I am extremely optimistic about the future of the Suffolk County Police Department and what we can accomplish together.”

Hart was most recently the senior supervisory resident agent in charge of the FBI’s Long Island office, a position she held for four years. Hart received a Bachelor of Arts from St. Francis College in Brooklyn and Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law in Queens.

“Geraldine possesses the integrity, competence and excellence that we are looking for in someone to lead the Suffolk County Police Department,” Bellone said.

He added that Hart’s gender did not play a role in her selection amongst a field of about 30 candidates, calling her the best candidate

for the job, though he realized the significance of the nomination. He joked that his two young daughters usually aren’t interested in the things he does at work, but this registered for them.

“They had big smiles on their faces,” he said, adding his 8-year-old daughter got the chance to congratulate Hart over the phone.

“It was a really great moment.”

Hart called it an exciting time, but downplayed the historical significance as well, instead shifting focus to the task at hand.

“I’ve just kind of been doing this the way I’ve been doing it for my entire career … just trying to be genuine and trying to be myself, so I bring those leadership skills to the table, and regardless of gender, that seems to have worked, so I’m going to continue to be that person and be that leader,” Hart said.

Hart began her career as an FBI special agent focused on transnational organized crime, where she helped lead and execute complex investigations and enforcement actions to dismantle violent organized crime enterprises, such as the Lucchese crime family. In 1999, Hart was assigned to the Lucchese organized crime squad, working on an investigation that led to the conviction of fugitive Frank Federico, who was responsible for the murders of garbage haulers and informants Robert M. Kubecka, of Greenlawn, and Donald Barstow, of Stony Brook. That same year, Hart was awarded the Office of Inspector General’s Integrity Award.

Editorial comment Page A26 Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone nominates Geraldine Hart for police commissioner.

As an FBI case agent, Hart, in 2005, worked closely with the SCPD to investigate two former NYPD detectives who secretly worked as Mafia associates on behalf of the Lucchese crime family. The investigation led to the indictments of Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, who were ultimately convicted of committing murder and disclosing sensitive law enforcement information to mob bosses.

The investigation also led to the discovery of a body in Brooklyn in connection with their criminal actions. For her performance on the case, Hart received the United States Attorney General’s Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement, the highest award given out in the FBI. In 2012, Hart was promoted to supervisory special agent to lead a task force comprised of FBI special agents and NYPD detectives

investigating the Genovese, Colombo and Bonanno crime families. In January 2014, these investigations resulted in the takedown of five organized crime members for murder, one tied to the 1978 Lufthansa heist at John F. Kennedy Airport, along with a body that was identified and dug up dating to the 1970s.

Hart joins recently inaugurated Suffolk Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D), in a year of firsts for the county, as he became Long Island’s first African-American elected official in a nonjudicial countywide position earlier this year. Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said in a phone interview she was happy to hear of Hart’s nomination because of her integrity and experience, and also noted the significance of a woman holding the position for the first time.

Mather hosting blood drive John T. Mather Memorial Hospital will hold its annual Winter Blood Drive March 5, from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Conference Rooms 3, 4 and 5. The blood drive is dedicated to the memory of Maryanne Gordon, a longtime Mather employee who died in December 2016.

The drive is open to the community and no appointment is necessary. Mather urges community residents to donate if they are able and to “bring a buddy” with them. All successful donors will receive a gift bag and a $5 Target gift card as a thank you.

From organ transplants to heart surgeries, today’s advanced medical care relies on blood transfusions. According to the New York Blood Center, when one person donates a unit of blood, it can be separated into individual components to save multiple lives. Blood donors help meet the daily transfusion needs of cancer and surgery patients; accident and burn victims; newborns and mothers delivering babies; AIDS and sickle cell anemia patients; and many more.

COUNTY

Amid escalating gang activity in Suffolk County, District Attorney Tim Sini (D) announced the creation of a gang task force to combat the rise, specifically of MS-13, the group linked to six Suffolk killings in 2017.

The gang unit, which has already begun operations, exists inside the new Enhanced Prosecution Bureau within the district attorney’s office. Sini said during a press conference Feb. 7 that the unit will focus specifically on prosecuting gang members, even lower-level ones or members who commit non-gang-related crimes. Just before the event a meeting took place, which is said to be the first of many bi-weekly meetings, co-led by the DA’s office and the county police department.

“Previously, when a gang member committed an offense, that prosecution issue was handled by any number of different bureaus within the district attorney’s office,” Sini said. “It created a system where gang members could fall through the cracks or be treated like any other individual. That is no longer going to be the case. We will be strategic in our prosecution against gang members.”

Though overall crime rates in Suffolk County have gone down, there has been persistent MS-13 activity, including the double homicide of young Brentwood residents Nisa Mickens and Kayla Cuevas, and the murder of four young Latino men in 2016. More than a dozen alleged gang members were arrested in 2017 and charged with their murders. Many more murders, attempted kidnappings and drug sales have also been linked to the gang.

The new focus on gang activity has become internalized in other law enforcement agencies, such as the county sheriff’s department, which plans to revamp its gang unit inside the office and expand its data analytics and predictive models relating to gang crime.

“Part of it is going to be a learning curve, because my staff is going to have to learn my ideals and how I want to look at things, and it will require more resources,” Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D) said. The police department is “assisting us with some technology that will allow us to look at these patterns differently, and not only patterns, but individuals as well.”

Sini said that with this change the county will be more effective in deciding whether a crime should be processed locally or federally.

“This is an enormous shift in paradigm — this will bring the fight to a whole new level,” Sini said. “In some instances, it may make sense to start a case in the state system where we’re able to develop probable cause in an efficient manner while it may take longer to build that federal case.”

The 14-member county gang unit includes eight assistant district attorneys and six special investigators. The gang unit will be led by deputy bureau chief Kate Wagner, and the Enhanced Prosecution Bureau will be led by veteran prosecutor Christiana McSloy, who previously worked on gang cases in the Nassau district attorney’s office.

The assistant district attorneys assigned to the gang unit will be on call on a rotating basis, and available around the clock for when police need assistance or advice. One of the prosecutors speaks Spanish.

The district attorney’s office also announced a partnership with Suffolk County Crime Stoppers, which will still allow community members to send in tips on gang activity that, if leads to an arrest, offers cash rewards up to $5,000.

The new program was announced just over a week a ter President Donald Trump (R) made mention of MS 13 in his State of the Union address. He cited the rash of gang killings as a reason for America to change its immigration laws. MS-13 activity in Suffolk also inspired the president to visit the Suffolk County Police Academy campus in Brentwood during summer 2017, where he addressed a crowd of officers.

OBITUARIES

Friends remember Stony Brook philanthropist Mundie

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With the passing of Gene Mundie Feb. 21, the Three Village community has lost a generous resident who has helped countless students reach their highest potential, according to friends.

Mundie was an assistant dean at the Stony Brook School of Nursing at Stony Brook University as well as the president of the nonprofit organization Kids Clubhouse of Suffolk Inc. in Port Jefferson Station. He graduated from Hazleton Senior High School in Pennsylvania before beginning a career in nursing, according to the obituary on the O.B. Davis Funeral Home website. He earned degrees from Bellevue School of Nursing, Pennsylvania State University, Columbia University and Stony Brook University.

Lee Anne Xippolitos, dean of Stony Brook School of Nursing, said Mundie was the director of staff development when Stony Brook University Hospital first opened, and nearly 20 years ago, started working at the School of

Mary H. Cox

Mary H. Cox, 90, of Port Jefferson Station died Feb. 11.

She was born March 5, 1927, in Port Jefferson. She was the daughter of Dorothy and Everett Howell.

Mary was a retired teachers assistant at Port Jefferson Elementary School. She was a member of the Port Jefferson United Methodist Church and enjoyed doing crafts.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Richard; daughter, Elaine (Robert) Madden; son, Dennis (Susan) Cox; five grandchildren; and other family friends.

Services were held at Port Jefferson United Methodist Church, Feb. 15. Interment followed in the Cedar Hill Cemetery.

Arrangements were entrusted to the Bryant Funeral Home of East Setauket. Please visit www.bryantfh.com to sign the online guest book.

Contributions made to the Port Jefferson United Methodist Church at 603 Main St., Port Jefferson, NY 11777 in her memory would be appreciated.

Yvonne Joan LaCasse Gross

Yvonne Joan LaCasse Gross died Feb. 15 at the age of 89 in Port Jefferson.

Yvonne was born May 23, 1928, in Albany to her parents, Lucy and Gideon LaCasse. Yvonne enjoyed literature and the arts and had numerous degrees in education from Sienna, Hunter and Queens colleges. Yvonne married Robert Gross Sr. July 11, 1953. They lived in Pelham Manor, Manhattan and Setauket, and summered in Ocean Point, Maine. She worked with a prominent Manhattan architect and designed her Setauket house to her exacting specifications incorporating many unique design features.

Yvonne was a dedicated teacher for more than 20 years in the Mount Vernon school district. In retirement Yvonne enjoyed traveling the world from the Galapagos Islands to Russia. She also was very active in the

Nursing full time.

In 1980, Mundie became her mentor and friend when she was a student and he was her preceptor. Xippolitos described him as a generous person and humanitarian.

“He was an individual who was constantly involved with furthering the — not just the education — but the livelihood if you will, the success of kids,” she said. “He was constantly involved with helping young people succeed.

That was his theme.”

Xippolitos said she remembers when Mundie discovered an SBU student living out of a car and helped the student find a place to live.

He set up the Gene Mundie Endowment Fund for students of the School of Nursing. Xippolitos said in the past the interest on the principle of the endowment was awarded to a student to assist with tuition, but recently Mundie embellished the fund with the hopes that a full scholarship would be awarded each year.

Jonathan Kornreich, vice president of the Kids Clubhouse, formerly known as the Boys & Girls Club of Suffolk County, has been on the

board with Mundie for eight years. He said 40 years ago Mundie was one of the founders of the organization, which provides an affordable after-school program in Port Jefferson Station for children in the Comsewogue School District and Setauket area as well as a summer camp. Kornreich said Mundie was a down-toearth, dedicated, passionate individual.

“Caring for kids and trying to provide positive experiences — supportive kind of environments for them — especially after school has been a lifelong passion of his,” Kornreich said.

Julie Watterson, executive director of Kids Clubhouse of Suffolk, said when she started two years ago, Mundie took her under his wing.

“I don’t think there are enough synonyms in the thesaurus for kindness, generosity,” she said.

Watterson said Mundie always attended the not-for-profit’s annual gala in April, golf outings, and would bring his friends to the fundraising events. She said when the clubhouse would have pizza parties with the kids, Mundie would sit and ask them what they liked and what they would like to see at the clubhouse.

“Without him I don’t think we would have survived as many years,” Watterson said.

Xippolitos said Mundie leaves behind a great legacy.

“I’ve known Gene all these years, and I don’t think I ever once heard him say anything negative about a person or a place,” she said.

“He always saw the silver lining in a situation.

He always had five different ways to solve a problem. He was a real positive, upbeat kind of person.”

Mundie was also involved with The Ward Melville Heritage Organization and the Walk for Beauty for breast cancer research, according to his obituary.

Mundie was the son of the late James J. and Priscilla I. (née Smith). Mundie is survived by his siblings Carole Horlacher, Priscilla Mundie, Sally Russo, the Rev. Melvin Mundie, Maryellen Sims, Judith Mundie, Clare Rossi and David Mundie. His brother James Mundie Jr. and sister June Mundie Moylan predeceased him. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, family members and friends.

Round Table at Stony Brook University. When she wasn’t traveling the world, she was in New York City with a full culture calendar comprised of museums, theater, Bobby Short at the Cafe Carlyle and her beloved New York Philharmonic subscriptions.

Yvonne is survived by her daughters, Liz Gross of New York and Nancy Brown of Boston; her son and daughter-in-law Robert and Mary-Anne Gross of Port Jefferson; and beloved grandchildren Lily and Robi. She is predeceased by her husband, Robert.

Her children and friends will miss her but will never forget her stories and quirky oddities. Yvonne/Mom/Grandma were her names and she lived life to the fullest with unwavering dedication and love for her children, grandchildren and husband. She will be remembered for her brilliant mind, quick wit and amazing love of life and all it has to offer.

Yvonne will be interred in a private ceremony. In lieu of flowers, please donate to one of two causes that were of paramount importance to her: Planned Parenthood and Amnesty International.

Legislators hear LI concerns about offshore drilling

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM

MARIA HOFFMAN

Long Islanders filled the legislative auditorium of the William H. Rogers Building in Hauppauge Feb. 14 to let the federal government know that the Atlantic Ocean is not the place for offshore drilling.

In a public hearing, state legislators, including Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), listened to more than five hours of testimony provided by nearly 50 local elected officials, scientists and environmentalists. The hearing followed the Jan. 4 announcement made by the U.S. Department of the Interior proposing plans for expansion of natural gas and oil drilling along coastal waters. The plan includes the potential lease of acreage in federal offshore areas such as the Atlantic region.

In the Jan. 4 announcement, Ryan Zinke, Secretary of the Interior, said developing resources on the Outer Continental Shelf would provide billions of dollars to fund the conservation of coastlines, public Elected officials, scientists, environmentalists and residents, above, fill the legislative auditorium of the William H.

COUNTY

African-American leaders on race relations and life in Suffolk Politicians, coaches, veterans, police officers, firefighters and volunteers from the community reflect on Black History Month

BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM African-American figures, leaders and movers and shakers across Suffolk County reflected on their lives and accomplishments to commemorate Black History Month.

David Lewis, Smithtown volunteer firefighter/retired NYPD officer When David Lewis and his family moved to Smithtown from Hollis, Queens, in 1977, he said they were one of just two black families in the community. He was 7 years old and said he immediately saw the effect their skin color had on residents in his new hometown.

Their property was often damaged, there was name calling, and he said his parents received lots of phone calls from neighbors warning not to send their children to the school district.

“The N-word was a big part of our David Lewis childhoods, we were told we didn’t belong,” Lewis said. “But I remember my dad saying, ‘You belong here.

I don’t care what they say, I’m sending you to school.’”

Lewis said his father’s ability to hold his ground lit a fire in him.

“In the back of my mind, I remember thinking that I’ve got to prove to everyone in Smithtown that I belong here,” he said.

Lewis, who grew up in and around the kitchen as the son of a professional chef, started a chocolate and candy business out of his house as a ninth-grader, encouraged greatly by his high school cooking teacher as well as business instructor, who loaned him $100 to buy a mini-refrigerator. He hired local kids to help out and his budding entrepreneurship made headlines in the newspapers.

Around that time, Lewis also began a private mentoring program for struggling kids in the neighborhood, many of whom came from broken or single-parent homes.

After graduating from Smithtown High School West, he attended the Culinary Institute of America, became a certified chef and spent a few years working in the industry until he decided to switch gears to pursue a full-time career helping people. Already a volunteer with the Smithtown Fire Department, Lewis joined the New York Police Department, determined to bridge the gap between youth and police. During his 25-year career on the force, Lewis regularly watched over neighborhood youth, encouraging students to do their homework and steering them away from trouble while offering mentorship to youths in Smithtown, Queens and Brooklyn.

He received the Commendation Medal from the NYPD in 2000 and eventually retired out of the 104th Precinct.

Outside of the police uniform, he has served as an emergency medical technician; a fire prevention instructor in local communities; a fifth-degree black belt instructor, lending his expertise at Suffolk County

PAL Martial Arts; an assistant Scout Master for Cub Scout Pack 340; a volunteer at the Smithtown Guide Dog Foundation; was employed part time as a security official in the Smithtown school district; co-founder of KiDS Need MoRe foundation; and remains an active captain in the fire department.

Through it all, Lewis said the accomplishment that’s meant the most to him was when he received an award for Greatest Person of Smithtown in 2012.

“That was just tremendous to me,” Lewis said. “I thought back to being 7 years old and being told I didn’t belong in Smithtown.

That’s one of the things that’s always motivated me here, and [that honor] proved that I do belong.”

Eric Brown, head baseball coach at Suffolk County Community College For 30 years, Eric Brown has been a coach, mentor and friend to more than 1,000 student-athletes at Suffolk County Community College, where the Coram native also served as campus coordinator and warehouse and mailroom supervisor.

He retired as head coach of the men’s Eric Brown varsity baseball team in 2017. During his leadership tenure, he guided his teams to seven National Junior College Athletic Association World Series; won 685 games; was named Region XV Coach of the Year in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2006; led Suffolk to be named a nine-time winner of the NJCAA Region Umpires Association’s annual sportsmanship award; and was elected into the JUCO Hall of Fame in 2014.

A petition was even created recently calling for the baseball field at Suffolk County Community College Selden campus to be renamed the Coach Eric Brown Field.

But despite being grateful for all the recognition, Brown, a graduate of the college himself, couldn’t help but laugh about how his career played out. Throughout his years as an athlete at Longwood High School, Brown’s true passions were basketball and soccer — he even went to LIU Post on a soccer scholarship — and baseball was very much an afterthought.

“Baseball was just something I did because everybody else in the neighborhood played it,” Brown said.

He said when he returned to Suffolk, hired as a material control clerk, he was approached by his mentor at the time, who was in charge of the basketball and baseball programs, who brought Brown in as an assistant basketball coach. Through his mentor, Brown learned everything he knew about baseball and soon began coaching the sport himself.

Throughout his career, Brown has been acknowledged for his role as a “player’s coach,” and someone who makes sure the athletes on his team are well-taken care of and successful on and off the field.

“I really care about these kids,” Brown

said. “The long and short of it is that they’re more important than the program itself. They are the program.”

Tracey Edwards and Doc Spencer, Huntington elected officials Former Town of Huntington board member Tracey Edwards, who has served for many years as the Long Island regional director of the NAACP, said while she considers her hometown a great Tracey Edwards place to live, she admitted Huntington, and all of Suffolk County, still has a lot to work on when it comes to race relations.

“I would say, as a young person, I had a wonderful experience growing up in the Town of Huntington,” Edwards said. “But as I got older, as I reached adulthood, that’s when bad experiences started to happen. We’re being naive to think there is not still gender, racial and cultural bias where we live, and where everybody else lives.”

Edwards has built a career on trying to make a difference on that front. Since elected by the town in 2014, she has strived to be an exemplary community advocate and public servant — and was especially focused on making Huntington a more inclusive place, regardless of age, race, gender or economics.

She has worked to expand affordable housing legislation for millennials and firsttime homebuyers; spearheaded the creation of the Huntington Opportunity Resource Center, a program that offers assistance with résumé preparation and job searches, exploration of career options and Doc Spencer access to job training for unemployed and underemployed residents; and led a strong campaign for Huntington supervisor in 2017, a race she lost to now Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R).

“Being a black woman, it was very difficult for her to run for that position as it was portrayed in the results,” her mother, Dolores Thompson, a lifelong civil activist, said in December. “And yet, her experience and background is far better than most, black or white.”

Edwards pointed to her parents and the way they raised her as her main source of strength and inspiration.

“I was raised to believe and to understand that everyone is equal and to treat everyone with respect,” she said.

Just the third African-American elected legislator in Suffolk County history, William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport), who is also a beloved physician and ordained minister in his community, agreed with Edwards that the

region has plenty to overcome, but also sees every day how far it’s come.

“Long Island has certainly had its struggles with division and difficult race relations but I’m optimistic, just evidenced by the fact that I’ve been chosen to lead by an overwhelmingly white population,” Spencer said. “I don’t believe people look at me as a black man, but, hopefully, as a good doctor, representative and humanitarian. As the only black official in the Town of Huntington, I’m a voice of unity, a voice of harmony and I believe it’s incredibly important that we have acceptance.”

Spencer himself grew up in West Virginia in an area still heavily segregated.

“Most blacks lived on one side of town with substantial divides throughout the area,” he said, reflecting on his upbringing. “I would be stopped by police if I was driving in a particular section. I’ve been chased and called names. I experienced all of that in the 1970s and ’80s. We have made great strides.”

Michael Jordan, president of the Visually Impaired Persons of Suffolk In 2014, Southampton native Michael Jordan’s life became permanently dark.

The U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former Southampton Golf Club employee began losing his eyesight a few years prior in 2011, so when he went completely blind, he was ready for it, determined to stay active, independent and productive. That same year, he joined the Visually Impaired Persons of Suffolk, a social group designed to empower and self-advocate the blind community with ties to Deer Park and Port Jefferson. As Michael Jordan a member, he noticed that the extent of the “social” aspect of the group was sitting together for a cup of coffee and a donut.

“I said, ‘We’ve got to start being active here,’ if you want to sit around and drink coffee, I can do that home,” Jordan said.

He took the reins as an orchestrator of outings and activities, from fishing and park trips to dinner functions, bowling nights and fundraisers. Members donated funds to five underprivileged families last year.

Jordan, who pays for a majority of the event’s raffles himself, quickly rose to a vice president position and, in 2017, he was elected president of the group.

“All I want to offer is giving, love and joy,” Jordan said. “I like to help people for a day to help them forget about their problems, and that way, they can see someone in an unfortunate situation spreading joy in life.”

Jordan said it’s important to him that his colleagues in the group recognize their importance in life, despite their disabilities.

“I want to show people of Suffolk County that we are people,” he said. “When you look at us, you should just see a resident.

You don’t see that I’m blind, you don’t see that I’m in a wheelchair, you don’t see that I’ve got hearing aids, don’t see that I’m in a walker, or what have you.”

MARCH 01, 2018 • THE PORT TIMES RECORD • PAGE A15

SPORTS VIN MICELI

SECTION XI

Port Jefferson senior Vin Miceli, above, maintains control over his opponent, above, and has his arm raised, below, after the win. Miceli embraces head coach Mike Maletta, on right, and gets a pat on the back from brother Nick after his semifinal come-from-behind win. Miceli, third from right, below right, stands high up on the podium after becoming the 126-pound Division II state runner-up.

Miceli’s big semifinal win leads to No. 2 state finish Down 7-0 in the state wrestling semifinal with 50 seconds left, a switch flipped for Vin Miceli, leading to him wrestling his best, most exciting match of his career when it mattered most.

“I remember watching a match a week prior to states when another wrestler was down six points in the third period with short time left, and ended up coming back and winning the match,” the Port Jefferson senior 126-pounder said. “So I said to myself, ‘Why can’t I do this?’”

He started letting his opponent get up for one point, only to take him down for two.

Doubling up on points, he finished the match ahead 12-10, guaranteeing himself at least a second-place finish.

SECTION XI

“It was one of the best feelings ever winning that match,” Miceli said. “Something I will never forget.”

The No. 3 seed was taken down twice early in the final and pinned in 1:33 by Schuylerville’s Orion Anderson, who won his third straight state title at Albany’s Times Union Center Feb. 24. Even knowing his challenger’s pedigree, the Bloomsburg University commit didn’t let Anderson’s credentials stymie his confidence, or his eagerness to get out on the mat and wrestle in the last match of his high school career.

“I knew my opponent was going to be a challenge, and I knew he was going to come out at me aggressive, so I had to do the same back,” Miceli said. “I was super excited to be able to wrestle in the New York state finals, but was also a bit sad knowing that was my last high school match ever. Being able to wrestle on that stage is not an opportunity everyone gets, so I was definitely pumped to be there.”

Head coach Mike Maletta pulled his varsity athlete up from middle school in eighth-grade, after he went 11-0 the year prior. Miceli is one of the youngest wrestlers to exceed 20 wins in Port Jefferson history as an eighth grader, and finished his Royal career with 140 wins, second to 2016 graduate Matteo DeVincenzo (148).

“When Vin gets beat, he gets up, stands tall and comes back for more,” Maletta said.

“That semifinal match was a culmination of that work. He said he wasn’t going to be denied. For him to get the reward for what he’s worked so hard for is satisfying for all of us.

He knew it was his time.”

By the end of his career, Miceli evolved from the young varsity grappler he once was.

He earned a spot in the state tournament his freshman year, but went 1-2. He lost in the county finals his sophomore and junior years,

missing a bid to states, but this time around, he knew he was ready for a different result.

The 126-pounder said he wrestled 80 offseason matchups, squeezed in double practices and private lessons on Sundays, and even saw a nutritionist to make sure he was strong and healthy at the weight he was competing at, while cutting his weight the right way, because he’d struggled with that in the past.

“I knew I was well prepared for this moment and I wasn’t letting anything stop me from getting on that podium,” Miceli said. “I knew I did everything I could to make sure I was 100 percent ready to go up there and compete.”

His father, Joe Miceli, said what he enjoyed most was seeing his son Nick, a former Port Jefferson wrestler, out on the mat by his brother’s side as an assistant coach, especially during the semifinal match.

“Seeing the two of them out on the mat celebrating after that win was really special,” Joe Miceli said. “Losing was frustrating in his sophomore and junior years, and he wanted

to make sure he put the work in to get back up there again. Wrestling and dedicating himself the way he has, built a lot of character in him and made him very self-dependent. It’s sink or swim out there, and he developed well. This season was more than anyone expected.”

Vin Miceli said the sport has taught him many valuable lessons, and he’ll remain proud to don the purple and white, even if he was in Section XI blue and white up on the podium.

“Wrestling has made me the person I am today,” Miceli said. “Wrestling is not only a sport, but is something that will help you grow and mature as a person and change the way you look at things in life. I was able to make bonds with friends that will never be broken, and memories that will never be forgotten.

Winning matches has been one of the best feelings, but it’s more about knowing that all that work you have put in has paid off. Being on that state podium is always something I dreamed if and worked for, and now I can say that standing up there is an awesome feeling.”

Transitioning to the Workforce

pring is here, and for many young people across the country, this signals a fast-approaching graduation date. As happy and fulfilling a moment as graduation is, it is quickly followed by the fear of finding a job. internships.

This is a great start, but it’s time to include even more people in your network.

Attend networking events and sharpen your professional social media profiles.

GIVE YOURSELF GRACE You can’t accomplish everything all at once from the very beginning. Understanding that your habits and routines will change and actually living it are two different beasts altogether.

It will take time to adjust to new hours, new co-workers and a new environment.

Don’t be too hard on yourself.

MAINTAIN OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES Many young people dive into their first career positions head-first — and forgo many of the things they enjoy doing. This is a mistake.

It is essential to your well-being to engage in your interests outside of work.

Don’t forget about your hobbies. One of the perks of the college environment is the built-in social aspect. There are many activities in which to participate and many people with whom to do them.

You will have to take a more active interest in engaging in extracurricular activities now that they won’t be at your feet.

EXPAND YOUR PROFESSIONAL NETWORK Most college students focus more on their social circle than their professional circle. Even if you are a proactive, entrepreneurial student, your professional network likely consists of professors, other students and people you’ve met through

Transitioning from college life into the workforce comes with its own set of challenges. However, there are steps you can take to make this transition easier on yourself.

SET SMALL GOALS You can (and should) have big goals.

But pursuing long-term goals can be grueling if you forget to celebrate the progress you make along the way.

Think of goals you can set for yourself daily, weekly and monthly. This will mimic the pace of coursework you are used to and do wonders for your motivation and productivity.

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor ALEX PETROSKI

Geraldine Hart is Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s nomination for police commissioner.

Encouraging more firsts

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) made history by nominating a woman to serve as police commissioner, and we’re hoping a path is being paved for others.

Bellone nominated Northport native Geraldine Hart, who if approved by the Suffolk County Legislature, would be the first female police commissioner in the county’s history.

At a Feb. 22 press conference, the county executive said that gender didn’t play a factor in his selection, but he did go on to tell a story about how he told his two young daughters what he was going to do, embracing the significance of the moment. He said the pair had huge smiles on their faces, as did our editorial staff, a majority of whom are women.

“We were making calls … it was late ... and Molly called me, who is 8 years old, asked me where I was, and she was able to get on the phone with Gerry, and it was really a great moment,” Bellone said. “I could tell how happy she was, even through the phone, as she was congratulating her on being nominated for this position.”

Hart has impressive experience for any law enforcement agent. She has spent 21 years of her career with the FBI, and most recently served as senior supervisory resident agent in charge of the FBI’s Long Island office. She has done it all, from investigating white-collar and cyber crimes to gang violence and terrorism. One of her investigations led to the indictment of two former NYPD detectives who were eventually convicted of committing murder and disclosing sensitive law enforcement information to mob bosses. She was also involved in investigations that resulted in the takedown of five members from the Genovese, Colombo and Bonanno organized crime families who were charged with murder.

Women in a position of authority in Suffolk County is a trend we would like to see continue. We can’t help but be optimistic when we hear stories like Laura Curran (D) being voted Nassau’s and Long Island’s first female county executive, and Laura Jens-Smith (D) being voted in as Riverhead’s first female town supervisor this past election. We hope to see a day in Suffolk when journalists will be covering its first female leader.

Today’s women have confidence in their knowledge and ability to take on these roles and be models for future generations, which was the case with Danielle Turner, who took over as Port Jefferson School District’s athletic director in 2016. In an interview with TBR News Media, Turner credited Lisa Lally and Deb Ferry, Miller Place and Port Jefferson’s former longtime athletic directors, for paving the way for females in the position.

She also said the two were supporters of her ambitions.

Hart’s nomination is also a second first for the county in recent months. Earlier this year, Suffolk Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D) became Long Island’s first African-American elected official in a nonjudicial countywide position. In recent years, the county saw the first person of color be elected as presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature when, in 2014, Legislator DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) was named to the position.

Sometimes being the first can be intimidating, but when a person has the experience and talent as backup, anything is possible. We hope to see more firsts in the near future, especially for people in power, because in 2018 there are still plenty of glass ceilings waiting to be broken.

Protecting our schools, children There was one video clip from President Trump’s Feb. 21 candid conversation with school parents played repeatedly. It featured a grieving Andrew Pollack, passionately expressing his thoughts and feelings over the loss of his 18-year-old daughter, Meadow.

At one point, he referenced how quickly security policies were adjusted after Sept. 11, 2001 saying, “9/11 happened once and they fixed everything.”

Pollack addressed those in attendance saying everyone needs to come together to protect the schools. “It’s simple. It’s not difficult. We protect airports.

We protect concerts, stadiums, embassies. The Department of Education that I walked in today has a security guard in the elevator. How do you think that makes me feel? In the elevator, they’ve got a security guard.”

Perhaps the most riveting, poignant moment featured a righteously angry Pollack saying, “All these school shootings, it doesn’t make sense. Fix it. It should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it. And I’m

pissed, because my daughter I’m not going to see again.”

He continued: “And it stops if we all work together and come up with the right idea — and it’s school safety. It’s not about gun laws right now. That’s another fight, another battle. Let’s fix the schools and then you guys can battle it out, whatever you want.

But we need our children safe.”

Moments later the heartbroken dad shared, “It’s enough.

Let’s get together and work with the president and fix the schools. That’s it. No other discussions. Security, whatever we have to do, get the right people, the consultants. These are our commodities.”

Pollack’s highlighting of previous threats to government institutions being successfully addressed stands in stark, ironic contrast to this latest horror. This time four layers of government; the schools, social services, sheriff and FBI, horribly mismanaged the screaming red flags they’d all received on this killer.

No wonder Mr. Pollack primarily emphasized taking urgent

steps toward school safety.

Given what we continue to learn, it’s reasonable to ask a tough question. If another government entity, housing thousands of personnel and innocent bystanders, had been targeted, would those dozens of deadly threats have been ignored? You can bet a courthouse, county office, state house, White House or U.S. Capitol would have gotten their already-trained, heavily armed security swiftly bolstered until the danger was eliminated.

Why is it then, while every other densely populated government institution has taken backup measures, including employing the properly outfitted men and women cited above, to guard against another catastrophic Nikolas Cruz-type bureaucratic screwup, schools, housing millions of our defenseless children remain the softest of all state-run targets?

Viewed within that context, it would seem Andrew Pollack has every right to be “pissed.”

No question in the guilt of Cruz In the aftermath of the tragic and shocking murder of 17 innocent people, including 14 students and three teachers, at a high school in Parkland, Florida, we are faced with the questions of who was at fault, and how can similar tragedies be prevented in the future. As the facts preceding the shooting emerge, it is becoming clear that the performance of numerous persons, including social workers, deputies of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and members of the FBI, enabled this unspeakable tragedy to occur.

Furthermore, it appears that the deputies arrived at the scene while the shooting was in progress. They then cowered behind a car, with their guns drawn, in an apparent attempt to protect themselves, as the slaughter inside went on for six minutes.

Aside from the collection of incompetent and inept government employees who allowed this to happen, who is responsible for

the inexcusable and unforgivable deaths of these innocent victims? It is none other than the shooter, Nikolas Cruz, of whose guilt there is no question.

President Trump has taken the initiative to address this escalating problem, and is developing a series of proactive approaches, while, at the same time, maintaining the rights of law-abiding citizens as guaranteed by the provisions of the Second Amendment. These measures are likely to include outlawing bump stocks, improved checks for mental health and other background issues, raising the age limit for purchasing long guns from 18 to 21, and hardening school protection procedures. Clearly, the policy of some schools to designate themselves as “gun free zones” serves as an invitation to potential shooters, who are not seeking armed challenges to their evil goals.

It remains to be seen whether the president will be able to

overcome opposition from both the National Rifle Association and those who choose to resist his policies at all costs, regardless of the merits.

The Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has assured us that the prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Nikolas Cruz, and it is hard to imagine that he will not be convicted. If he is, we will then begin the tortuous process of dealing with his incarceration, which will allow him to live for another 20 years, if not more, as a result of the interminable and unfathomable appeals process, thereby prolonging and sustaining the immeasurable grief of the parents, siblings and friends of the beloved victims, as well as providing a living celebrity role model for potential future imitators of Cruz. Let us hope that President Trump has the wherewithal to address this problem, as well.

‘Hypothebrag’ and other new terms for a modern president

I

t’s clear the modern-day president that Donald Trump has become has defied all conventions, including words. We just don’t have enough terms for all the ways he runs the White House and for the sparks that are flying out of Washington.

It seems that we need a new vocabulary to keep up with the approach Trump has taken. To that end, I’d like to suggest some new terms.

Hypothebrag: When you’re absolutely convinced you would have done something better than the person you’re skewering, you hypothebrag.

You might be meeting with

By Daniel Dunaief other leaders and hypothebrag that you feel strongly that, had you been there, you would have been so much braver than everyone else.

D. None of the above

Twitterbolt: When someone is bothering you, like a politician from another party, you reach into your bag of thunderbolts, akin to the ones Zeus used to have at the ready on Mount Olympus, and you attack that person or organization, without mercy, with your twitterbolts.

Russiabscess: A tooth abscess is a painful, festering process. Well, when you’ve won the election and a continuing concern about Russia’s meddling hovers over you, you begin to feel as if Russia is an abscess. Your presidency lives with the pain of Russiabscess.

Russiobsess: For those hoping for relief from Trump, the obsession about Russia can take on a life of its own, leading to a daily collection of information about the Mueller probe and investigations by other political bodies intent on exonerating or excoriating the president and/or Russia. These folks are Russiobsessing.

Demonacrat: Trump isn’t a fan of the Democrats. Merely agreeing to disagree doesn’t seem sufficient. He often needs to suggest how evil they

are, preventing him from getting the tax breaks he believes everyone in the nation covets or from doing what he knows is best for the country. When you demonize the Democrats, you are turning them into Demonacrats.

Mediaphobe: In case you missed it, the president doesn’t generally like the media. He feels that the coverage is unfair. He believes that fly-by-night organizations like The New York Times and The Washington Post make up “fake news” about him. He has become a mediaphobe, preferring to share Trump Truths.

Foxophile: The lone exception to the media hatred seems to be the Fox network, which finds favor with a president it lavishes with praise. The president has become a foxophile, enjoying pundits who patiently applaud the president for his policies.

Wallobeauty: Well before the president took office, he made it clear that Mexicans — well, the bad ones anyway — weren’t welcome. Convinced they were coming through unguarded borders, he promised a wall.

It’s not the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem or the Great Wall of China, but Trump would like to create the Wallobeauty that will be a hallmark of his presidential career.

Intelladump: Rarely has a president shown such disdain for his own intelligence services. The FBI, CIA and others all appear out to get him. He spends a good deal of his time criticizing and second-guessing them, even as he reportedly doesn’t read their reports. When the president criticizes this community, he is taking an intelladump on them.

Presidentice: The former leader of the TV show “The Apprentice” — whose catchphrase is “You’re fired!”

— seems to enjoy the ongoing threat of firing someone. The White House has become a reality show: “The Presidentice.”

Detestsabranch: Trump has made it clear that legislative and judicial branches of government annoy him.

When he’s frustrated enough with them, his ire can transform into something deeper as he detestsabranch.
