Cops continue search for missing man Two weeks after crash-landing in harbor, another plane goes down on North Shore The champ is here Senior wrestler wins state; whole team has stellar season

PageS a14-a15

It has been weeks since a small plane carrying four people experienced engine trouble and went down in Setauket Harbor near Poquott, but police are still on the lookout for the one man who could not be rescued. The Piper PA-28, which had taken off from Fitchburg, Mass., and was heading for Republic Airport in Farmingdale, went down on the night of Feb. 20. All four people exited the plane into the water, the National Transportation Safety Board said, but only three were rescued. Authorities are still searching for the fourth passenger, 23-year-old Queens man Gerson SalmonNegron. The county police said its marine bureau has been out on the water daily, weather permitting, during daylight hours in search of the man both via the surface on boats and using side

scan sonar to scan the floor of the water. At the time the plane was having engine trouble, a student pilot identified as 25-yearold Bronx resident Austricio Ramirez was flying it and turned over the controls to his instructor, 36-year-old Queens resident Nelson Gomez. Wady Perez, a 25-year-old from Queens, was identified as the other man rescued from the water that night. Suffolk police were receiving help from the Federal Aviation Administration, the NTSB, the U.S. Coast Guard, local fire departments and the town harbormaster in the rescue, missing person search and investigation in that February incident. In a report released this week, the NTSP said the aircraft reported low amounts of fuel and had been operating for about five hours since its tank SeaRCH continued on page a12

New policy would set transgender school rules By Elana Glowatz

A proposed policy for Port Jefferson schools could change the way teachers interact with and accommodate transgender students. The board of education’s policy committee crafted the proposal with help from the student body’s Gay-Straight Alliance club, and included rules for how transgender and gender nonconforming students would be referenced in school records and what bathroom and locker room facilities they would use. According to the proposed text, students who want to be identified by a gender other than the one associated with their sex at birth could request a meeting with their principal to discuss names, pronouns and designations in school records; restroom and locker room access; and participation in sports, among other topics. Students would be able to change gender designations in school records if they provide two official forms of identification indicating the new gender and legal proof of a change in name or gender. Emma Martin, the president of the high school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, said during the Port Jefferson school board meeting on Tuesday night, “This policy could be the difference between whether a student feels safe in the school, whether their learning is hindered or it’s enriched,

trustee adam Dewitt heads the school board’s policy committee.

whether they graduate high school or even if their life could be saved.” The proposed policy includes a provision that any student’s transgender status would be kept as private as possible, apart from necessary communication to personnel “so they may respond effectively and appropriately to issues arising in the school.” In addition, it dictates that the district would have to accept any student’s gender identity. “There is no medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment threshold that stu-

dents must meet in order to have their gender identity recognized and respected,” the policy reads. “Every effort should be made to use the preferred names and pronouns consistent with a student’s gender identity. While inadvertent slips or honest mistakes may occur, the intentional and persistent refusal to respect a student’s gender identity is a violation of school district policy.” Martin called the policy forward thinking. “Even though I won’t be here to see this in place because I’m a senior — I’ll be leav-

ing — I’m very, very proud to say that this will be in place hopefully when I leave.” Trustee Adam DeWitt, the head of the policy committee, replied that the policy committee could not have done it without her club: “Your contributions and the students’ contributions as well as the staff were critical in the wording … so your legacy and the legacy of the students and the staff that helped us create this will live on for a long time.” The school board accepted the policy at first reading on Tuesday and could vote to approve it, making it final, at the next board meeting. Its reception was a quiet one — there was no public comment on the policy apart from Martin’s. That was not the case in other districts that recently attempted to make similar rules. In the Rocky Point and Smithtown school districts, discussions about accommodating transgender students turned into heated debates. Superintendent Ken Bossert attributed the lack of controversy in Port Jefferson to the fact that the district took time to shape the policy with the help of input from many parties, and officials took up the matter on their own “without discussing any specific child.” “That can be very sensitive when the community is fully aware of children who are involved in the discussion and that’s what I really wanted to avoid here.”

Port Jefferson Village will start charging for parking in the downtown area again next week, with the free winter season scheduled to come to a close. On March 15, visitors to the business district without a village resident sticker will have to pay $0.25 for every half hour they park in the municipal lots, between 10 a.m. and midnight every day. The funds collected through the parking meters have supported capital projects around the village, such as parking lot improvements and work at Baker’s Alley, a historical strip downtown that due to neglect over the years had become overgrown and hidden.

Officials butt heads over public hearing schedule By Giselle Barkley

Brookhaven Town is tweaking its board meetings for the sake of efficiency. Town board members approved a proposal on Feb. 25 that will move the public hearing time to 6 p.m., from its current 6:30 p.m. time slot, beginning at their May 12 meeting. Public hearings used to follow a half-hour adjournment, but now the Brookhaven Town Board will no longer adjourn prior to the public hearing. Councilman Dan Panico (R-Manorville) said moving the public hearing will not only help the meetings run smoothly, but also prevent attendees from waiting for the hearing to start. Shifting the time will also help the town save money, as it won’t need to pay Brookhaven employees, excluding management personnel, overtime. “We don’t want to waste money,” Panico said. “Budgets are tight and we want the Town Board meetings to flow continuously like every governmental meeting should.” But Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) and residents alike said that the time shift will limit

community participation during the public hearings. The councilwoman was the only board member who voted against the proposal. She said in her three years in office, she’s witnessed residents running into town hall five minutes after public hearings begin. “Public hearings are extremely important and we want as many people as possible to come in and be able to voice their opinions,” Cartright said. “Our public hearings here at the Town of Brookhaven are based on either zone changes [or projects based on specific properties], which will affect people in the immediate community.” On many occasions, there are more Brookhaven employees in attendance in comparison to residents. Many residents also leave the meeting when the town takes a brief adjournment. According to Town Attorney Annette Eaderesto, zone changes and projects in a particular area or land use plans are brought before the respective civic association before reaching the town. While residents have three minutes to comment on the board’s resolution agenda during public comment, they have five

minutes to comment on zone changes and similar issues pertaining to specific properties during public hearing. Public hearings were initially scheduled for 6:30 p.m. during former Brookhaven Town Supervisor John LaValle’s five years in office. The civic associations requested the time slot to accommodate people’s schedules, Eaderesto said. Recently, the town has received numerous complaints from senior citizens saying that they’d prefer earlier meetings because they don’t like to travel in the evening. But Mastic Beach resident Jim Gleason said seniors usually attend public hearings, or town board meetings

in general, for certain hot-topic issues. That’s not the case for all residents. “There have been hearings that I’ve been involved in where people have said, ‘I just can’t get there. It’s too early,’” Gleason said of public hearings. “So if there are people who have trouble getting here at 6:30 p.m., they’re obviously more people who have trouble getting here at 6 p.m.” But Panico said the town will see what works best and adjust accordingly. “I think it’s a reasonable move [to change the public hearing time],” Panico said. “And if there’s a need to tweak the time in the future, everyone on [the] board is very reasonable.”

Courts will rebound with repairs By Elana GlowaTz

Image from the Port Jefferson Village historical archive

This 1797 map by surveyor Isaac Hulse shows ‘Drown Meadow Bay,’ which is now called Port Jefferson Harbor.

Names are im‘port’ant By Elana GlowaTz

For the last 180 years, it’s been Port Jefferson. But before that, the village had a peculiar name given that shipbuilding was its main industry. When John Roe, an Irish shoemaker, became the first permanent European settler to make his home there in 1682, “the settlement was called Drowned Meadow because the area that now comprises most of the commercial district was a marsh that flooded every high tide.” That’s according to the book “Images of

America: Port Jefferson,” written by Port Jefferson library staffers Robert Maggio and Earlene O’Hare. They said, “That flooding, and the steep hills and deep ravines that surrounded the marsh, made farming difficult, and the village grew slowly. In fact, by 1800, there were only a handful of houses.” But the village did grow. It became home to several shipbuilding families, to the point where the name “no longer seemed to fit [the village’s] progressive image,” the book said. It was Elisha Bayles, the head of the

Basketball players could soon be shooting hoops on a fresh surface in downtown Port Jefferson. Village officials have approved a $15,000 proposal to repair the basketball courts at Rocketship Park, between Barnum Avenue and the municipal parking lot behind Village Hall. “Our basketball courts are in disrepair out back,” Mayor Margot Garant said at the board of trustees meeting on Monday night. But there is surplus money the village previously set aside, in the event those courts would have to be completely renovated. Instead, work simply needs to be done to repair cracks and “take away what we call the ‘birdbaths,’ or puddles,” she said. The plan, which the board approved at its meeting, includes putting in lines for pickleball play at the courts. That sport involves paddles and has similarities to tennis and badminton. Trustee Stan Loucks, who is the board’s liaison to the Port Jefferson Bayles shipbuilding family, who got the ball rolling. According to an account by the late George Moraitis, a local cemetery historian, the Bayles patriarch came to Drowned Meadow in 1809 from Mount Sinai and “was a strong [Thomas] Jefferson Democrat.” He “urged the renaming” to Port Jefferson. A vote on the matter took place at a schoolhouse on March 7, 1836. According to “Images of America: Port Jefferson,” the residents “voted overwhelmingly” in support of the name change. The Long-Island Democrat newspaper

Country Club, said the village feels comfortable hiring East Norwichbased Championship Tennis Courts LLC to do the basketball court project because that same company has done work on the country club’s tennis courts for the last five years. “They do a terrific job,” Loucks said.

published a notice of the change later that month, describing the vote as occurring “at a large and respectable meeting of the inhabitants” chaired by Daniel Tooker. From there, the village became more and more of what residents know today. The “Images of America” book noted that the year after the renaming vote, William L. Jones, of another prominent shipbuilding family, “began filling in the ‘drowned meadow’ by building an 18-foot-wide elevated road across its center. … This was the beginning of today’s Main Street.”

Comsewogue’s John F. Kennedy Middle School robotics team captured the Long Island Championship in the FIRST LEGO Robotics Competition at Longwood High School on Feb. 28, beating out about 150 other teams. They will head to nationals in Missouri in April. The school board honored the team for its achievement on Monday night. “I think it’s fantastic,” Superintendent Joe Rella said in an interview at the meeting. “They’ve been working on this project for a while, and that’s great that they have that interest.” The Robotic Raccoons, coached by Steven Nielsen and Jennifer Caltagirone, is collecting bottles and cans as a means of fundraising for their trip to Missouri.

rate of inflation. Before exemptions for a few items, such as spending on capital projects, school districts are looking at a 0.12 percent limit on how much they can add to their tax levies next year. Comsewogue’s exempted spending, which includes funds to replace the roof at Clinton Avenue Elementary School, brings its proposed tax levy increase to 1.2 percent. Restored state aid from the GEA could be crucial for some. “If that doesn’t happen, then it’s a whole different world,” Rella said in an interview. “We’re anticipating it will happen. Albany’s been very quiet about it, and I’m taking that as ‘no news is good news.’” Rella’s proposal suggests there would be cuts to staffing, including teachers, coaches and aides, as well as clubs, supplies and athletics if the schools don’t receive that additional state aid. His presentation also says Comsewogue would have to use $425,000 in reserves to help fund whatever is left. If the state funding does come in, according to his proposal, the district would receive about $30 million in total state aid, which is an increase of $1.9 million over the current year.

‘If that doesn’t happen, then it’s a whole different world.’ — Joe Rella

was last filled. The report said the plane’s engine “sputtered” as it approached the Port Jefferson area, spurring the flight instructor to turn on the electric fuel pump and instructing his student pilot to switch the fuel selector to the plane’s left fuel tank as it flew at around 2,000 feet. The sputtering stopped, but started up again about three minutes later, the NTSB said, and then lost power. That was when the pilot instructor took control of the plane and tried heading to the shoreline, where he believed the plane could safely land, the NTSB report said. But the pilot was unable to see the shoreline due to the darkness and could only guess where the shoreline began by the lights inside of nearby houses, the report said. He held the plane off of the water for as long as he could before touching down and instructing everyone to grab a life vest and exit the plane, the NTSB said. Neither the student pilot nor the passengers, however, were wearing life vests

when they exited the plane, the report said. Emergency personnel were on the scene within minutes and rescued three of the four men. The airplane floated in the water for about five minutes before sinking nosefirst to the bottom of the harbor, the NTSB said. Just two weeks later, a second plane with engine problems made an emergency landing on the North Shore. The Suffolk County Police Department said the passenger plane, also flying into Republic Airport in Farmingdale on Saturday afternoon, experienced engine failure while flying at 2,000 feet. The pilot, who was with his daughter and returning from visiting colleges, deployed the plane’s parachute at 1,500 feet before crash-landing at an industrial park in Hauppauge. According to police, after the plane landed just feet from a building on Marcus Boulevard, the pilot pulled his passenger out of the plane. Police said both father and daughter refused medical attention. Elana Glowatz contributed to this report.

DeVincenzo brings DII title back to Port Jeff Wrestling By Desirée Keegan

above, Matteo DeVincenzo battles Locust Valley’s Hunter Dusold in the state finals. right, DeVincenzo has his arm raised after topping Dusold, 2-1, for his second state championship title.

Matteo DeVincenzo felt relieved. As the clock wound down and the whistle blew, the 126-pound Port Jefferson powerhouse put another state championship title in the record books with a 2-1 victory over Locust Valley’s Hunter Dusold. “I expected to win, so it wasn’t surprising, but it felt good,” DeVincenzo said. “Overall, I wrestled real solid and dominated up until the finals.” That focus and determination from day one led the Royal to an undefeated season. DeVincenzo was 32-0 heading into the state championship bracket. The first upstate challenger he faced he topped 12-2; the second match, a Section X grappler, he ruled over 9-1; the third, a Section III opponent, he outscored 8-4. The finals win against Dusold capped it all off for a 36-0 season. “This whole year has been about domination and preparation, so I’d say no matter where I was in the bracket I would’ve had the same outlook,” he said. But the senior and his coaches Mike

Maletta, Ian Schneider and Nick Miceli were happy to see him avenge his state semifinal loss from last season, to once DEVINCENZO continued on page A15

again stand atop the New York podium. “This was really his last time wrestling in New York so we knew of the significance of it and it being special,” head coach Maletta said. “Matteo is one of the best of the best. He was unstoppable.” Schneider, the team’s assistant coach, said being just 23 years old and having the opportunity to coach in the state championship was a phenomenal feeling. “It was absolutely incredible to watch him do what he does best on the wrestling mat,” he said. “It was exciting, it was nerve-

racking, it was all the emotions that ended joyously with him coming out on top. I may not ever coach a kid of his caliber in any sport again. I hope to have that, but he’s one of a kind and he’s something else as a person, as an individual and as a wrestler. He’s one of those rare gems that are out there. It was an absolute honor to coach him.” Besides the four-time Suffolk County and two-time Eastern States champion, the Royals also sent two other wrestlers to Albany. Sophomore 120-pounder Joe Evangelista and freshman 99-pounder Ricky D’Elia garnered some extra experience battling the bracket. Evangelista, a three-time AllCounty wrestler who became a county champion this year and finished with a 2210 record, had to battle two tough All-State kids. D’Elia, who ended the season 25-7, made a couple of mistakes in a 5-3 firstround loss that sent him to the wrestlebacks. “For their first time, it was cool for them to see the process for themselves and for Matteo,” Maletta said. DeVincenzo will take one final trip with his coach, and D’Elia, to Virginia for nationals, then the senior star is taking his talents to the mats of Princeton University. In collegelevel wrestling he will join his older brother, Tristin, who wrestles at the University of Pennsylvania, and another former Royal, Paul Cavanagh, who competes for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. The Royals had 11 All-County wrestlers this season. In addition to the three who traveled upstate, Vin Miceli, Brendan Rodgers, Robbie Williams, Joe Longo, Alex Frohnen, Dallas Brett, Jack Collins and

Ryan Walsh all earned the accolade. “I’m proud of what we’re doing here at Port Jeff and people notice us — from the biggest school in Suffolk County to the smaller schools that we wrestle with,” Maletta said. “They know if they’re competing against a kid with a Port Jeff singlet, they’re going to be prepared.” Seven of those 11 will be returning to the roster next season. And with a young squad that will not soon graduate, the Royals expect only to gain players over the next two seasons. “We’re moving in the right direction,” Schneider said. “Our middle school program has a bunch of kids where we’ve lacked in the upper weight classes, so when

we can fill out the lineup we’ll be that much harder to beat.” Maletta has enjoyed his time with his grand grappler, and hopes for even bigger and better things in the future. “I’m 45 years old and there’s been great days in my life — getting married and having kids — but putting on my suit and heading down to see Matteo be crowned a state champion was pretty special, and I’m thankful that Matteo was brought into our lives and into our wrestling room at Port Jeff,” he said. “We put a lot of effort into this and I’m aware that many coaches don’t get to coach a Matteo. I’ve been coaching for 20 years and this is a kid that will be linked with me forever.”

Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times). Oh Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands. (3 times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can obtain my goals. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. The request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor has been granted. Thank you again. M.S.

OPINION

Art by Anthony Freda

EDITORIAL

Men and women need to work together This past Tuesday was International Women’s Day, and the message behind such an occasion is still very important, necessary and timely. As we come off celebrating the day, time should be taken to reflect on the challenges that women still face today. Unequal compensation and women’s health issues are still hotly debated — but these subjects can be traced back to much earlier times. Stories come from all over the country about young female students being taken out of school for outfits deemed too revealing by administrators, even despite the widespread acceptance of boys shedding their shirts to play basketball or in the stands at football games. Girls’ sports teams have a harder time getting necessary funding for new uniforms and equipment, and many young women still get a puzzled look from others if they express interest in certain educational fields. We heard one story in which a male engineering student told a female classmate that she must be lost as she walked in for the first day, also telling her that she wouldn’t last long. It’s not only up to women to push back against sexist beliefs, thoughts or stigmas. It is also up to men. We need to teach our boys at a young age how to view women — as their equals. We need to instill in them the correct way to value women and understand that women can make just as many contributions as females can. Women can only achieve true equality if men stand by their side as partners. Let’s strive to raise a generation of men who will be proud to be those partners.

Opt out as a village TO ThE EDITOR: It’s that time of year again. The huge roars of the opt-out movement are being heard all over New York. You’ll read about it in the papers, on Facebook and Twitter, and signs will start popping up on lawns. I urge parents to get informed and get involved. I got involved in the opt-out movement late. Two years ago, I started to take notice and slowly educated myself by reading and attending forums. The more I read and heard, the more I came to understand that these tests are doing a huge disservice to our children and our public education system. Facts to consider: The governor and education commissioner said the Common Core standards and tests are developmentally inappropriate and need to be fixed. Changes will be made next year, but they will put these inappropriate tests in front of our children this year. The New York State Education Department agreed tests are too long. Changes made include four fewer multiple-choice math questions and one less reading passage on the English language arts exam. These changes are inconsequential and will do little to mitigate the stress many children have experienced. NYSED fired Pearson, who created our tests, and recently hired

Questar. Questar’s tests start next year. This year our children take the inappropriate Pearson tests because we have to live out our contractual obligation. Many parents feel if you opt out, you are sending a poor message to your child, that you can opt out when things are too difficult in life. Teaching children to be resilient and hardworking is critical, but there is another important lesson children will learn when we become more informed. They will understand that if things are hard because they are unfair, age inappropriate, poorly conceived and ultimately a waste of time and

money, then you have the right to choose not to do it. I believe in testing. The purpose of a test is to provide data for the teacher to improve instruction for the child. State testing results are not received until the following school year. You’ve heard the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child.” I glean comfort from that. I have faith other parents are looking out for my children when they are in harm’s way. So I urge you as parents, as part of this village, to opt your children out of the state tests this year.

An embarrassing case of a misdirected email

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

news@tbrnewspapers.com

T

echnology has made it possible for us to stick both of our virtual feet in our virtual mouths. Last week, I wrote about poor sportsmanship by a father at a basketball game. Before I started the column, I asked my wife if she thought he might

see the article and get upset. She said, “Wait, first, what’s the chance that he’ll look for it; and, second, it’s not like you’re going to be naming names.” She was right. I wasn’t planning to put his name in the paper or call attention to him. He made a sudden barking noise while one of the players on the other team was about to shoot a free throw. The players on the other team, their coach and, most importantly, the referee took exception to his conduct. The referee ejected him. Recognizing that there was something to share with TBR readers, I wrote about the incident. I’m sure this gentleman isn’t the only one to cross a line at a child’s sporting event. I’ve heard parents screaming at their kids, at their kids’ coaches, at referees and anyone who will listen in the heat of the moment. After all, these

games are critically important. A loss might mean their child only gets a second-place trophy that will collect dust on a shelf somewhere, while a win would mean they would get a slightly bigger trophy that collects slightly more dust on a shelf somewhere else. I wrote the column, sent it to my editor electronically and went about the usual business of my day. By about 6 p.m., it occurred to me that my editor didn’t acknowledge the column the way she usually does. Then it hit me, like a punch to my stomach. My breathing got shorter and shallower and my hands felt hot and cold at the same time. With an anxious scowl on my face, I went back to my email “sent” folder and I saw it. “Oh no!” I shouted, stunned by my blunder. You see, my editor and the wife of the man who made

a scene at the basketball game have the same first name. I had typed the first three letters of my editor’s name and the computer mischievously misdirected the column. I stand by what I wrote, but I had no intention of sending the column to this man’s wife. Realizing my error, I frantically called my wife, which compounded my mistake. In the panic of the moment, I dialed my daughter’s cellphone number, who was in the middle of volleyball practice. She raced to call me back in case something was wrong. Something was, indeed, wrong, but I didn’t want to distract her. Forcing myself to try to sound calm, I said something like, “Naheverything-all-right-bye.” I finally reached my wife, who patiently talked me back from the ledge. She suggested I write to the man’s wife and tell her that

‘Oh no!’ I shouted, stunned by my blunder. I misfired in my email. It wasn’t the end of the world and, before long, my wife assured me I’d find it funny in a “I can’t believe I really did that” way. I did what my wife suggested and the man’s wife said she thought I had sent her the column on purpose. I assured her it was a mistake. That’s where the conversation ended. I have been on the other side of such emails. One of my editors wrote to someone she thought was another editor about how annoyed she was with my story. It’s about 20 years since that email reached me and I had almost forgotten about it ... almost.

Stark contrasts at two White House lunches

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

lthough I never met her, I was the beneficiary of Nancy Reagan’s good taste. I was invited to the White House by President Ronald Reagan’s press office, my second visit after one during President Jimmy Carter’s term. The contrast between the two visits could not be more stark. The former first lady died this week at the age of 94, outliving her husband by nine years. In reality she had started to lose him more than 10 years earlier in what she termed “her

long goodbye,” as his suffering from Alzheimer’s disease carried him into his own world. Theirs was a long marriage in which they seemed devoted to each other, and she passionately protected him and his image as he moved from president of the Screen Actors Guild to governor of California to president of the United States. She said that her “greatest ambition” was to have a “successful, happy marriage.” She may well have yearned for that as a result of her early childhood experiences. She was born Anne Frances Robbins in 1921, the daughter of Edith Luckett and Kenneth Robbins. Her mother was an actress and her father a car dealer who abandoned them shortly after she was born. When she was 2, her mother resumed her acting career. Then, when Nancy was almost 8 years old, her mother married a Chicago neurosurgeon, Loyal Davis, and overnight her circumstances reversed. Her life was now one of stability and privilege, and she went on eventually to graduate from an elite high school and then Smith College as Nancy Davis in 1943.

She might well have endorsed Sophie Tucker’s famous maxim: “I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. ... Rich is better.” When Reagan was elected governor and the Reagans were expected to live in the governor’s mansion, which was at that time a run-down Victorian house on a busy, one-way street in Sacramento, Calif., she convinced her husband to lease at their own expense a 12-room Tudor house in a better neighborhood. Then, when Reagan was elected president, she decided to redo the private living quarters of the White House. She raised $822,000 from private contributors to do that, but she was severely criticized by the press. Although she had made a number of worthwhile efforts over the years, including welcoming home former prisoners of war from Vietnam at a time when those who fought in the war were sometimes spat upon, and involving herself in a Foster Grandparents Program for mentally disabled children — according to an obit in The New York Times — she was

generally regarded in the press as stylish but extravagant and aloof. She was petite, slender, exercised daily and wore expensive, designer clothing at a time when the country was still hobbled with the remains of the 1970s crushing recession. Her first public relations interest was not her own image but that of her husband. So when she raised more than $200,000 from another contributor to buy a 220-place setting of new presidential china, the first since President Lyndon Johnson’s administration, she was most unpopular as a result. That seemed to reinforce her unflattering image. Nancy Reagan as first lady traveled widely to speak out against drug and alcohol abuse, especially among young people, and she is the one who coined the phrase, “Just say no.” She also publicly urged women to get mammograms every year after she was diagnosed with breast cancer at a time when that disease was still whispered. And, as you might expect, she was a powerful advocate for new research into Alzheimer’s. SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ASSOCIATE EDITOR Ellen Recker ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Kathryn Mandracchia

I was the beneficiary of Nancy Reagan’s good taste. This is how she affected me. When our press group visited with President Carter, we were given lunch in a cardboard box that we held on our laps as we sat in a circle in the Oval Office. It consisted of two halves of different sandwiches, an apple, a bag of chips and a hardboiled egg. I clearly recall watching the president shaking salt on his egg and alternately taking bites. Although I was thrilled to be there and I appreciated the effort to project an image of austerity, I thought it seemed more fitting for a picnic on the lawn than one in the nerve center of the most powerful country in the world. At President Reagan’s lunch, we ate in the East Wing at cloth-covered tables and were served white wine with our veal scaloppine on beautiful dishes. Now I am not particularly stylish or slender and certainly not a spendthrift, but I wanted to tell Mrs. Reagan, “Right on!”
