Salute the Seawolves Team reflects on making history, dream season that ends with coaching change BY Desirée Keegan

A civic divided Two sides bitterly clash over election

PAgE A5

Steve Pikiell had high hopes for this season, and full confidence that this would be a special year and the Stony Brook men’s basketball head coach was right — the Seawolves made it all the way to the NCAA tournament for the first time as a Division I team. And even though they suffered a first-round elimination, members of the team and its fans said they would remember the experience as one of great success. “I knew it would happen — you’ve got to have a special group,” said Pikiell. He recognized the talent in his seniors, and the group that came together over four years to break through to the Round of 64 in the NCAA tournament. Just a few years ago, it was difficult to fill Pritchard Gymnasium with 1,000 people. This season, the now-named Island Federal Credit Union Arena sold out. Some of those dedicated fans stuck by the team, in good times and bad. Those were the fans who sat on the steps in front of the arena

after their loss, anxiously waiting for their history-making America East conference champions to arrive. Despite the plane landing late, devotees waited for one last warm welcome, and honored the Seawolves who brought them so much joy this season with chants of “S-B-U.” “We’ve looked forward to this for many, many years, so it’s a great success,” said Sam DiCanio II, of Stony Brook, WELCOME HOME continued on page A11

Narcan class coming to firehouse

File photo by Elana Glowatz

Narcan kits include an applicator that sends the medication into the nose.

A Narcan training course will take place nearby this month, as part of a Suffolk County effort to teach residents how to use the lifesaving medication. At the Setauket firehouse on Nicolls Road, participants will learn how to identify overdoses of opioid drugs, such as heroin, Vicodin and Percocet, and use the anti-overdose medication Narcan, also known as naloxone, to

revive victims. People who complete the training will receive an emergency resuscitation kit that contains Narcan as well as a certificate of completion. The firehouse event will be held on Thursday, March 31, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Those interested should RSVP to seth.squicciarino@suffolkcountyny.gov or to 631-854-1650.

Dead body found at beach Drowned man washes up near Port Jefferson Harbor By Elana Glowatz

File photo above; screen capture below

above, Centennial Park beach is in Port Jefferson Harbor’s southeast corner. Below, black marks on a map of the harbor complex show where the plane went down (Setauket Harbor at Poquott, at the entrance to the southwestern inlet) and roughly where a dead body washed up.

A dead body found on a beach near Port Jefferson Harbor is not the man who went missing following a plane’s crash-landing at the end of February. The Suffolk County Police Department said last Thursday that Homicide Unit detectives are investigating the man’s death, but it appears he drowned. Authorities identified him as 28-year-old Marlon Lewis, who was homeless. A Port Jefferson Village code enforcement officer found the body at about 1:45 p.m. that day, police said, at which point police officers responded to the scene at the beach. The Suffolk County medical examiner’s office will perform an autopsy. Code Chief Wally Tomaszewski said in a phone interview Tuesday that the code bureau’s Sgt. Steve Grau spotted Lewis’ body in the water near the Centennial Park beach from his position on the village’s dock, in front of the Village Center on East Broadway. The sergeant originally thought the victim was a woman because he was in a dress, according to the chief. Tomaszewski said the code officers had seen Lewis around the village for the last five years or so, usually uptown in the morning, and he would get food at a soup kitchen in the downtown area on Mondays.

Need some good news?

Lewis’ body washed up almost four weeks after a small plane, carrying four people, crash-landed in Setauket Harbor near Poquott. The Piper PA-28 had taken off from Fitchburg, Mass., and was headed for Republic Airport in Farmingdale on Feb. 20 when it experienced engine trouble and the student pilot, 25-year-old Bronx resident Austricio Ramirez, handed the controls over to his instructor. The National Transportation Safety Board released a report two weeks later that said the aircraft, flying at about 2,000 feet, had low amounts of fuel and had been operating for about five hours since last having its tank filled. The engine eventually lost power and the instructor, 36-year-old Queens resident Nelson Gomez, tried to head for the shoreline, but it was too dark to see it. That’s when the instructor landed the plane on the water, and told his passengers to take a life vest and exit the plane. However, according to the NTSB report, they were not wearing the vests when they got out of the plane, which floated for about five minutes before sinking nose-first. Emergency personnel rescued Ramirez, Gomez and a third man, Wady Perez, a 25-year-old from Queens. But the fourth passenger, 23-year-old Queens man Gerson Salmon-Negron, is still missing.

THROWBACK THURSDAY — 1960s

Welcome to By ElAnA GloWAtz

Woodard Square. Crystal Lake Square. If Port Jefferson residents hadn’t banded together to oppose their town, those would be the names of parking lots paved through the middle of a few downtown blocks. In the early 1960s, Brookhaven Town officials had proposed a parking district in lower Port that would have called for several buildings to be demolished to make way for asphalt, according to the village historical archive. But Port Jefferson residents came together as a property owners association to defeat the idea. A 1961 map depicting the proposed parking district shows a large lot called Loper-McNamara Square in the location where Port Jefferson’s biggest parking lot, referred to as the “Meadow lot,” is now; a Woodard Square lot on the south side of East Main Street, where it meets Main Street and where the post office and a few other businesses currently stand; a Davis

Square lot at residential space between South and Spring streets, near High Street; a lot called Round the Block Square, where the village’s Traders Cove parking lot is now; and a Crystal Lake Square lot on the south side of Maple Place. The plan was abandoned after homeowners, who were then living in an unincorporated village, reacted negatively to it and formed The Property Owners Association of Port Jefferson, according to the village archive. The town, under the direction of former Supervisor August Stout Jr. and later Supervisor Charles R. Dominy, held public meetings at Earl L. Vandermeulen High School, warranting the property

owners to publish flyers that were a proverbial call to arms for neighbors. “Port Jeff will be sold down the river unless you attend the official public hearing on the parking district,” read one flyer, in relation to a March 21, 1962, meeting. “This is it. Everyone concerned with this problem and the future of Port Jeff must be there.”

Another flyer said the homeowners supported improvement, but said about the parking district proposal, “No, no, no.” The property owners association that helped derail the parking plan also championed the village’s incorporation. Later in the same year as that meeting, on a snowy Dec. 7, 1962, residents voted 689-361 to incorporate Port Jefferson.

Ed Garboski was re-elected president of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association on Tuesday night amid a clash between members. What started as an orderly meeting turned into emotional and heated debate, complete with lobbed accusations, when the time came to vote for the next executive board. One group, largely on the left-hand side of the room, called for a delay in that vote until the civic membership nominated and approved a board of directors, citing a 1977 constitution of the association that requires one. The legal authenticity of the constitution was later called into question, and it was unclear whether the document is binding. The civic association does not currently have a board of directors, nor has it in at least recent history. Supporters on Tuesday night wanted to change that before voting on a separate executive board, while critics favored electing an executive board that would further investigate the matter. Faith Cardone was the first to raise the concern about a board of directors, saying she and like-minded members are trying to do things the right way. And Treasurer Lou Antoniello, a presidential candidate, said just because the civic never had a board of directors doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have one now. “It has nothing to do with Ed being president,” Antoniello said, after an accusation that the members in favor of delaying the executive election were simply scheming to oust the president, Garboski, who was seeking re-election Tuesday. Controversy is no stranger to Garboski’s presidency in the last year. Members divided into two factions, much like they were on Tuesday night, had argued at a similar volume during a June meeting, after it was announced that Garboski would be running for town board against incumbent Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station). In that case, one side had called for Garboski to resign

over a perceived conflict of interest with the campaign, which he ultimately lost in November, and the other had called for a simple leave of absence until after the election. The latter side won out in that case. On Tuesday, as some called for the executive board election to be delayed in deference to creating a board of directors, Garboski said he doesn’t think the civic needs two governing boards — but that either way the civic has to take time to investigate the matter. Frank Gibbons, the civic’s head of traffic and transportation as well as its nominating committee for the election, said about delaying the vote, “To change the time we’re going to vote because we don’t have something we’ve never had is ridiculous.” Former executive board member Laurie Green expressed dismay about the state of the civic’s unity, saying it used to act as a cohesive unit: “What the hell is going on?” she said to the debaters to her left. “You are trying to divide this civic association and this community.” Jeff Napoleon received the only applause of the night when he suggested the civic elect leadership that could guide members on the board of directors issue, avoiding impulsive decisions. The civic voted to support that idea. Four executive board positions were filled first without a contest, by unopposed candidates: Salvatore Pitti for vice president, Charlie McAteer for corresponding secretary, Howard Aron for treasurer and Sheila Granito for recording secretary. Then Garboski beat Antoniello for the president’s role, 27-7. But the argument did not die without a final breath. Fran Navaretta, who had previously spoken in favor of delaying the election, called into question whether all the voters were in good enough standing to cast a vote, as she did not recognize some of the people in the audience. She started to leaf through Garboski’s binder of civic attendance records. The civic is expected to nominate a board of directors at its next meeting.

Sex offender pleads guilty By Elana Glowatz

A registered sex offender pleaded guilty on Monday to raping a female taxi driver in December during a trip that started in Port Jefferson. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said on Tuesday that 34-year-old Francis Barrios, of Middle Island, pleaded guilty to firstdegree rape. When the incident first occurred, on Dec. 1, authorities said the driver had picked up Barrios at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital that evening. During the trip he beat and strangled her, causing the taxi to crash into a fence on Mount Sinai-Coram Road in Mount Sinai. Barrios, who police at the time said was homeless, then sexually assaulted the victim. According to the DA’s office, he pulled her into the back seat and raped her. Officers responded to the crash scene after a passing motorist called 911, police said at the time. Police did not release the name of the taxi company, to protect the identity of the victim. The DA’s office said Barrios was previously convicted as a violent offender

DA ups charges in wrong-way crash By Elana Glowatz

A Port Jefferson Station man pleaded not guilty on Monday to a slew of charges that include murder and driving drunk, three months after a wrong-way crash that killed another driver. Authorities allege 54-year-old defendant Christopher O’Brien was impaired and driving an Audi A4 east in the westbound lanes of Sunrise Highway two days before Christmas when he hit a Toyota Corolla head-on in the left lane shortly after 5:30 a.m., killing driver Thomas D’Eletto, 57, of Aquebogue. “At the scene, police observed that O’Brien was unsteady on his feet, had bloodshot, glassy eyes and was slurring his words, and he gave oral admissions to the police about drinking and driving,” Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota said in a statement. Police at the crash scene, just east of Horseblock Road, charged the suspect with driving while intoxicated, the DA’s office said, and a blood test two hours after the crash showed a blood-alcohol content of 0.17 as well as cocaine. While D’Eletto was pronounced dead at the scene, O’Brien was treated for nonlife-threatening injuries at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center in East Patchogue. According to Spota, another driver allegedly saw the defendant drive into oncoming traffic three times about 20 minutes before the fatal crash, at a spot north of the Long Island Expressway. “Then on Sunrise Highway, several drivers reported to police they had to go onto the median or the shoulder of the road to avoid a collision with O’Brien,” Spota said. The DA’s Office said O’Brien has been remanded to jail for the now-numerous charges, from an indictment unsealed Monday, which include second-degree murder by depraved indifference; ag-

gravated vehicular homicide; seconddegree manslaughter; second-degree vehicular manslaughter; first-degree reckless endangerment; aggravated driving while intoxicated; driving while intoxicated; driving while impaired by a drug; driving while impaired by the combined influence of alcohol and a drug; and reckless driving. O’Brien’s attorney, Hauppaugebased Scott Gross, called the crash a “significant tragedy” but maintained his client’s innocence. “We’re going to evaluate the evidence,” he said in a phone interview Tuesday, “take a look at what the prosecution provides and then make our determination as to how to proceed from there.” Gross added that the DA’s office had until recently pursued the case as a misdemeanor and said that would not have been true if it had a strong case. “Their delay is indicative of provability issues,” the attorney said. O’Brien is due back in court before State Supreme Court Justice Fernando Camacho on April 4.

DA: Limo driver at fault By Phil Corso

A fatal crash was the result of a limousine’s dangerous U-turn at a busy intersection in Cutchogue, and on last Wednesday a special grand jury placed the blame on the driver. Carlos F. Pino, 58, of Old Bethpage, surrendered to police and was arraigned on four charges of criminally negligent homicide, four counts of assault, failure to yield the right of way, reckless driving and other traffic violations, Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota said. Pino was attempting a U-turn near the intersection of Depot Lane and County Route 48 on July 18 when Steven Romeo, 55, of Peconic, T-boned the limo, killing four and injuring six. The crash killed Smithtown’s Brittney Schulman, 23, and Lauren Baruch, 24, as well as Stephanie Belli, 23, of Kings Park and Amy Grabina, 23, of Commack, who were all riding in a limousine in the middle of a weekend wine tour on the eastern part of the Island. The collision also injured passengers Joelle Dimonte, 25, of Elwood, Melissa Angela Crai, 23, of Scarsdale, Alicia Arundel, 24, of Setauket and Olga Lipets, 24, of Brooklyn. Romeo, the DA said, was operating the truck under the influence of alcohol and was charged with driving while intoxicated the day of the crash.

Pino pleaded not guilty to the charges and was given a cash bail of $50,000 and bond of $100,000. His next court date is scheduled for April 19. Romeo also pleaded not guilty to two counts of driving while intoxicated and one charge of driving while ability impaired by alcohol and was released with his next court date set for April 26. “I think they may have been somewhat surprised,” Spota said when family members of the victims were notified that Pino, and not Romeo, would be indicted as a result of the crash. At the scene, Pino had told police he did not see any oncoming traffic, Spota said. But the subsequent investigation revealed why. The county had been investigating the crash over recent months, and last Wednesday the DA announced that while Romeo may have been driving while impaired, the risky U-turn still made it nearly impossible for the collision to be avoided. The grand jury conducted a fivehour investigation of the crash and found that Pino had “limited sight lines looking into westbound traffic” because a Jeep Liberty was positioned in the intersection waiting to turn left onto Depot Lane, Spota said in a statement. Spota said the Jeep Liberty “completely blocked the limo driver’s view of the oncoming traffic in the main travel

lanes.” And despite the fact that the main westbound travel lanes were not visible, the DA said Pino failed to take any precaution to make sure he could safely enter the westbound travel lanes and he continued to make the U-turn. “A perfectly sober Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash. An intoxicated Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash,” Spota said. “Romeo can be held criminally responsible for driving while intoxicated but he cannot be held criminally responsible for the crash.” Southold Police Chief Martin Flatley said during the press conference that unfortunately many limo drivers exiting Vineyard 48 in Cutchogue try to make the dangerous left U-turn that ended up

being fatal, because it is the fastest route to head back west. “There are other ways to head back west, but that’s the easiest way for them to do it,” Flatley said. There is now a traffic light at that intersection, Flatley said. Spota said Romeo was heading west at about 55 miles per hour when the crash occurred. He did not see the limo enter the intersection until he was about 200 feet away, the district attorney said. “Mr. Romeo had only 200 feet to react to the hazard he saw, and stop his vehicle,” Spota said. “Our experts tell us that at 55 mph it would have taken anyone 263 feet to stop and avoid the crash.” Alex Petroski contributed to this report.

Edna Louise Spear Elementary School third-graders created their own holidays after reading “Palapalooza.”

Young students invent new holidays

After a library lesson on holidays and cultures from around the world, Edna Louise Spear Elementary School third-graders invented new holidays. The students drew inspiration from the book “Palapalooza” by Daphne Skinner, which tells the story of five friends who set out to create the perfect holiday. Using library resources, the Port Jefferson students created holidays including a cookie-inspired Trefoil Day and literary-based Harry Potter and Authors days. Students then shared their new holidays with their peers by creating posters.

who has been watching the team since his 9-year-old son was in the womb. “It was a tough draw, Kentucky is a tough team, but we showed that we’re on the right path.” No. 13 Stony Brook may have fallen, 8557, to No. 4-seeded University of Kentucky last Thursday night in a game shown on CBS TV, but fans didn’t drop them. “[Playing against] Kentucky was good for us for the experience and for all the players and recruits to see us with all of our pros,” DiCanio’s young son said. “The excitement in that final home game was amazing.” Followers felt the stadium rocking. “No one was sitting,” said Maureen Zajac, a graduate of Stony Brook who lives in Shoreham with her 11–year-old son Anthony. The two have been season ticket holders for two years now, and Zajac said she was overcome with emotion because of how far the team has come. “Every day you read the newspaper and you cry. It’s fantastic. We’re so proud of them,” she said, holding up a banner. “We wrote we’re so proud because we’ve got to celebrate. They did an amazing job this year. The boys are amazing. They’re excellent role models.” The class act trio of seniors waved hello to fans as they exited the bus, and waved goodbye to the end of a historic run — and the end of their Seawolves careers. Warney, a three-time America East Player of the Year who scored a careerhigh 43 points in his last home game of his college career and 23 points and 15 rebounds in the Round of 64 contest,

said he appreciates those fans who stuck around not just on that March 18 evening, but over the last four years. “It was a long, hard season,” Warney said. “The heartbreaks, the adversity and the success. The community has been behind us for the last four years and they’ve been through a lot of heartbreaks, too, and everyone has just come back stronger and more supportive and it keeps us balanced. They make Stony Brook a hard place to play at.” But the team, and especially Warney, who accounted for his 21st double-double of the season and 60th of his career, is what put Stony Brook on the map. “Carson [Puriefoy] is fast, he has a good hang and an amazing shot, and Warney blocks everyone’s shots,” Anthony Zajac said. Puriefoy added 10 points, and Rayshaun McGrew tied a career-high three steals. Ahmad Walker, a junior, finished with eight rebounds and three assists. The team became an object that students, family members and community members could rally around. “This experience brought back a lot of memories,” said Ronald Gerry. Like the times he’d go to University of Pennsylvania to be with his daughter, Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (DSetauket), and watch games: “We meet a lot of our friends, my wife Pam and I, and we all cheer together and talk. It’s a weekly outing.” For Warney, who was named Tuesday Eastern College Athletic Conference Division I Player of the Year, the experience was also great to be a part of. “It was a lot of exposure,” he said of being on that court in Des Moines, Iowa. “I came in an 18-year-old kid not knowing anything and being homesick every day, to trying to finally achieve what we’ve been working for. I am grateful to be a part of it.” Pikiell said the team would be back next year with players in the program who continue to work hard.

Clockwise from top left, Carson Puriefoy attempts a jumper against the University of Kentucky; Jameel Warney blocks a shot; and Ahmad Walker reaches for the rim.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

A rush to judgment

Last week it was confirmed that Steven Romeo, the allegedly intoxicated pickup truck driver involved in the fatal Cutchogue limo crash in July, was not going to be charged with manslaughter. We’re sure this came as a shock to many people, who had written off Romeo as guilty as soon as it was reported that he had been drinking the day he T-boned the limo in a crash that killed four young North Shore women on a wine tour and injured several others. Referring to limo driver Carlos F. Pino’s risky U-turn that put that vehicle directly into Romeo’s path, Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota confirmed last week, “A perfectly sober Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash. An intoxicated Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash. It was simply unavoidable from Romeo’s perspective.” Pino will be charged with manslaughter for his dangerous maneuver. But some damage may have already been done in Romeo’s case. News outlets and some North Shore residents vilified the man long before the DA’s report was finalized. It’s no doubt a gut reaction for people to assume a drunk driver is at fault in a car crash, but this shows us why we should not be so quick to jump to conclusions. Sober people make mistakes or reckless maneuvers on the road every day, and this limo crash is an example of that. The American criminal justice system is set up so that every citizen is innocent until proven guilty, and we should all keep that in mind for instances like this. No matter the mistakes or poor decisions a person has made, that person deserves fair, unbiased treatment. That goes for the courtroom as well as the public and the press. All are innocent until proven guilty.

Education isn’t scores TO THE EDITOR: Let’s trace the beginning of the opt-out rebellion. It’s part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan established a $4.35 billion competitive grant fund. The program was called Race to the Top. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch and New York State Commissioner of Education John B. King Jr. spearheaded the application and acceptance of the grant money. They committed to the Common Core curriculum, tying teacher evaluation to student test scores in English and math for grades 3 to 8, punishing

Hope perseveres past tragedy Your turn

‘For years we had been pressing local government to put a rumble strip in front of the school.’

BY LARRY HOHLER

Don’t let anyone tell you that terrorism or attacks by wild animals are the most serious dangers you face when visiting Kenya. More lethal is the danger both locals and visitors face resulting from mayhem on the roads. Shortly after our nonprofit Hope Children’s Fund opened its orphanage in Meru in 2005, Glory, one of our older girls, was walking to school on a Saturday for an extra help session. While crossing the bridge into town on the path next to the road, a speeding pickup truck tried to pass the vehicle it was following. A car was coming in the other direction, and in order to avoid a head-on collision, the driver swerved onto the path, killing Glory. He kept on going. Most of the younger children at Hope Children’s Home attend Gikumene Primary School, located down the hill from Hope Children’s Home and across Meru Embu Road, the main artery between Nairobi and Meru. Our children cross this road four times a day — going to school in the morning, returning home for lunch, then back to school and crossing again at the end of the school day. For years we had been pressing local government to put a rumble strip in front of the school, and they had agreed to do so. Sadly, no rumble strip has been put in place. Feb. 11 was a normal school day. Eight-year-old Michelle Kirimi had just crossed the road on the way to school with her classmates when she was killed by a speeding vehicle

low-performing schools and increasing the number of charter schools, which can be operated by private corporations while receiving public education funds over local school districts with tightened budgets. Without any previous gradelevel Common Core preparation in English or math, the complete absence of curriculum materials and a lack of adequate teacher training, unprepared students were subjected to rigorous tests — 69 percent of them failed both. Scores went into student data and teachers were evaluated based on the test results. It was an unreliable and unfair system of grading students and judging teachers. The Cuomo/Tisch/King educational fiasco set off a revolution among parents, teachers and admin-

that veered off the road to avoid an oncoming car. Hopefully this tragedy will finally result in action being taken to slow the traffic on this section of road. This tragedy is tempered by the fact that 78 of Michelle’s brothers and sisters at Hope Children’s Home are being fed, clothed, housed and prepared for an independent adulthood. Sixteen have passed the test to enter secondary schools and nine are studying at technical schools or universities. Six of the young people we rescued more than a decade ago are now living independently. Two have married. Four others are working variously as a beautician, a cosmetics supplier, a teacher and a cell phone salesman. Donors in the U.S. have made it possible for the home to buy two greenhouses, land on which to grow food and milling machines that enable us to sell maize flour to the surrounding community.

istrators from Montauk to Niagara Falls. It’s predicted that 400,000 students in those grades will opt out of April’s English and math tests. The Race to the Top federal agenda has become politically radioactive. In the wake of this uproar, Duncan, Tisch and King resigned. Cuomo withdrew his support and now advocates for a four-year moratorium for more research and study. However, the same invalid and unreliable tests will be administered to unprepared students in April. The lunacy continues. Your only avenue of protest is to opt out and send a profound message to state officials. An education should not be reduced to a simple test score. Philip Griffith Port Jefferson

scheme and a welding operation at our Technical Training Center holds the promise of moving our operation toward self-sustainability. Avery Friedman, a 20-year-old from Shoreham, recently spent a month at the home, and during his visit bought fifteen 350-pound bags of coffee beans, which he plans to market on the East End, sharing the profits with the home. Kevin and Aida Mann from Middle Island, Tom and Barbara Lyon from Mount Sinai and Peter and Janet Wunsch from East Northport, all longtime supporters of the home, just got back from Kenya, having visited our children to assess their needs and enjoyed the natural beauty of the country. They spent time at the home and took a busload on safari to Meru Game Park, where the movie “Born Free” was filmed. They also visited the Sheldrake Elephant Orphanage in suburban Nairobi and stopped at Jomo Kenyatta University to see Doreen Gatwiri, one of our older girls who is now a pre-med sophomore. Before leaving, they met with authorities to ensure that we don’t lose any more of our children on the Meru Embu Road. Larry Hohler, the head of the Hope Children’s Fund, is a Port Jefferson resident who opened the Hope Children’s Home for AIDS-affected children with the help of a former student.

o more allowances. We want our children to eat, sleep and live well. Do we set a good example for our offspring? We know that what we do is more important than what we say. Do we want them to text or talk on the phone when they’re driving? Of course not. Do we engage in either activity when they’re in the car? All the time. When

you’re at the next stop sign or red light, look at the cars coming toward you. How many of those people are on the phone? Put down that phone! It’s not only safer for you, but it also gives your kids the right idea. OK, sorry, teachers this next one isn’t aimed at all of you. I’m tired of reading all the deductions on my son’s and daughter’s homework assignments from teachers whose writing deserves demerits. Sure, we all make mistakes and, yes, we can’t be right all the time. But this is ridiculous. The directions contain numerous errors. Are teachers setting the right example when they misspell words, repeat a word or — gasp — use the incorrect form of your? They should take an extra second to edit and proofread the material they give their students. The message the children get when they read their teachers’ writing is that grammar, word choice and rules of writing are only

important for students and for grades and don’t count, even inside the classroom. Children can spot hypocrisy from across the school. Years ago, at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School, my seventhgrade math teacher, Mr. Braun, said we’d get an extra five points if we spotted an error in anything he did. He was challenging us and himself and was helping us learn — and benefit — from his mistakes. Did he not make errors because he knew we were watching carefully or did he only make that deal with us because he didn’t make many mistakes? Either way, we paid closer attention to his — and our — work. OK, teachers, relax. I admire what you do and I appreciate the effort you put into your work. I know you have thousands of pages to grade. If you believe your writing matters, please lead by example. Then there are coaches. We volunteers face a difficult task.

We stand in front of a group of restless kids who want to score the winning basket, make their parents proud and be a hero. Everyone can’t play in every inning or in every second. We have difficult decisions. We also deal with parents who make unrealistic requests: “Yes, coach, can my daughter please bat first on Tuesday night games because she needs to leave early those nights.” The kids watch us carefully, not only to see if we approve of how they do, but also to see how we react to difficult situations. We’ve coached in games where the other coach, the players on the other team or the referees are violating some written or unwritten sporting code. Maybe the other coach has told his pitchers not to throw strikes because it’s getting darker. If we can’t finish the game, the score reverts to the earlier inning when they were winning. This isn’t a hypothetical — I know of at least one case where this happened.

hen I was a small child and had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I would put the light on and one of the first things I would see were two sets of false teeth sitting in small glasses of water on the shelf above the sink. The teeth belonged to my mother and father, and I knew they took them out of their mouths before

they went to bed and replaced them in the morning. So routine was this occurrence to me that I spent many minutes at a time searching my mouth with my fingers for the lever that would allow me to remove my teeth. Finally I asked my parents, who clued me in to the eventual failings of teeth. I was, after all, the child of two sets of ancestors who had faulty choppers. Again, I just accepted this as the natural course of my life. One day I thought I would be toothless, too, except for a few lucky strays that remained in mouth. Fast-forward more than half a century, and I still have almost all of my teeth. How did that enormous change come about? Dentistry is an area of health delivery that doesn’t get its proper due for the enormous advances from which we have benefited. The single best development that has preserved my teeth and those of the many millions of people

around the world is the root canal procedure. Now getting a root canal is a least favorite activity and deservedly so. But the journalist in me wants to tell the other side of the story, just to be fair. The patient I have been numerous times wants to salute the researchers and clinicians in dentistry. And although I am sitting at my keyboard in some pain at the moment from part one of a root canal procedure, which is what brought this subject to mind, I want to express my gratitude. What exactly is a root canal procedure? Although it’s not particularly difficult to understand, nonetheless it took centuries to invent. As I understand it, bacteria from a crack in the top of a tooth can get into the pulp below the naturally occurring enamel crown and cause an infection. Even if there is no infection, cold or heat or air can cause the nerves inside the

tooth to register pain, which is an alarm. The roots of the tooth have tiny canals in them in which the nerves reside. If the source of the intrusion that has stimulated the nerve cannot be repaired with a filling over the top of the tooth, then the pulpy decay below the enamel has to be cleaned out and the nerves have to be silenced to stop the pain. That is the function of the root canal procedure. After the nerves are removed, along with the site of any infection, the canals are filled with a sealer paste and rubber compound and covered with a dental cement to protect them from saliva. All of the above is the job of the endodontist or specialist who uses the sophisticated tools high tech has invented to make this delicate procedure possible and the anesthetic to make it bearable. The patient must then go on, typically to another dentist, to have a crown or cap precisely fitted over

Do we set a good example for our offspring? We could get angry, shout and throw equipment on the field. Is that the kind of behavior we should allow ourselves? Are we teaching our children how to deal with adversity? Do our allowances lead to their allowances later in life? Are we dooming them to repeat the actions we’re not proud of in the future? Maybe one of the toughest parts about being a parent is learning how to grow beyond the limitations we’ve carried with us from childhood. Some of those spring from our adult allowances. How about if we take a moment to recognize the allowances we make for ourselves. That could be constructive for us and for the little eyes that record everything we do on their own version of YouTube.

Many millions of people have benefited from the root canal procedure. the top of the tooth to replace the natural enamel. Crowns used to be made optimally of gold, but are now form-fitted with synthetic material that can be tinted the same color as the rest of the teeth, if necessary. Interestingly, as a friend pointed out, there is something funny about the semantics involved. One goes to get “a root canal” even though one doesn’t receive “an appendix” but an appendectomy, nor “a tonsils” but a tonsillectomy. Perhaps the dental procedure should be called a “nerve homicide,” but that would only add more fear to an already fearful procedure. Well, that’s about the only funny aspect of this vital but stilldreaded tooth rescue.
