Mather blood drive dedicated in memory of 9/11 first responder John T. Mather Memorial Hospital will dedicate its Summer Blood Drive on Thursday, June 29, to the memory of Richard Dellacona, a 33-year member and former chief of the Westbury Fire Department, who died of a rare cancer after working on “the pile” at Ground Zero following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York. “He was a wonderful, wonderful man who was always there for us,” said Alice Aug, his daughter who is a unit secretary at Mather. “He was not my father but he was my dad. Anyone can be a father but it takes a great man to be a dad.” The blood drive will take place from

6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Conference Rooms 3, 4 and 5. No appointment is necessary, and the blood drive is open to all community residents. All successful donors will receive gift cards and a treat bag. Dellacona, 60, also was a principal at Martin Van Buren High School in Queens. His wife, Fortune, has made it her mission to have local blood drives dedicated to his memory, Aug said. “My mom took something traumatic and has made it into something good, something that could help other people,” she said. “If it could save one person’s life, how amazing is that?”

Charter fishing boat donates 1,000 fish to Port Jeff soup kitchen By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com For those less fortunate who require meals provided by a Port Jefferson based soup kitchen, fresh-caught fish is a luxury. But thanks to the generosity and hard work of the crew of a charter fishing boat from Port Jeff and Welcome Friends, a soup kitchen that feeds as many as 75 people daily five times per week at local churches, that luxury became a reality. The plan started with a phone call from Amanda Peterson, third-generation owner and captain of the Osprey Fishing Fleet. She reached out to Margaret Tumilowicz, president of Welcome Friends, and asked if her guests would enjoy fresh fish to be caught and donated by her customers on a June 12 fishing trip. The company offers seats on one of their two charter ships — the Osprey and Osprey V — for day trips into the Long Island Sound to catch fluke, porgies, bluefish, striped bass, sea bass and blackfish, depending on what’s currently in season. Typically a few dozen people are on board for a given trip, and they’re allowed to take home up to 30 fish each. This time, everyone on board was there to catch fish for people in need. Peterson said in a phone interview she got inspiration from a trip she had taken with the Lady Reelers fishing club, a local group that at least once a year donates all of

Fishermen and women catch porgies on the osprey Fishing Fleet June 12 to be donated to Welcome Friends, a Port Jefferson soup kitchen. their catch from an outing to the food bank Long Island Cares. This was the second attempt at a massive catch-and-donate plan, after the first in the fall fell through due to bad weather. Peterson explained why she

decided she wanted to hold a similar event to the Lady Reelers’ with her business. “It’s such a great way to give back to the community,” Peterson said. “We’re a business that’s solely supported by the commu-

nity. We want to find different ways to say thank you for keeping us in business.” On June 12, about 35 fishermen and women lined up on the dock at the Port Jefferson Marina to help the worthy cause. Visitors of Welcome Friends weren’t alone in receiving a special meal though, as the participants of the trip were also instructed to bring $25 worth of nonperishable food items to be donated to Maryhaven Center of Hope Catholic Health Services or $25 worth of dog food for the Brookhaven Town Animal Shelter. The only other fee for prospective fish catchers was $10 to offset the costs of bait and fuel for the charter. Members of Peterson’s crew were on board to donate their time to help catch the fish, as well as filet and debone them. The trip yielded more than 1,000 porgies in about an hour and a half. The arduous task of prepping the fish for cooking took the crew of the Osprey about five hours. “I understand going without, so it’s good to take that feeling away for somebody,” deckhand for the Osprey Fleet Travis McRae said in an interview. He joked it was easy to convince people to attend the event because everyone likes fishing. Tumilowicz reiterated it is a rarity for her guests to have the opportunity to enjoy a dinner of fresh-caught fish. “It makes me feel really good,” Peterson said when she heard Tumilowicz had said that.

Port Jeff’s rocketship Park reopened with a ribbon cutting ceremony June 15.

Port Jeff kids have a blast at Rocketship Park reopening By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com It was like Christmas in June for kids in Port Jefferson, as an iconic village park is finally ready for a new launch. Rocketship Park, located on Maple Place between Mill Creek Road and Barnum Avenue, had been closed since the fall for a massive renovation project that saw funds pour in from private donations, fundraising events, grants and taxpayer dollars. At least 200 kids lined the fences June 15 eagerly waiting for the official ribbon cutting to try out the new equipment for the first time, which now includes a tree house, pirate ship and, of course, a rocket ship. The refurbishment effort was done thanks in large part to a three-and-a-half-year mission by the Port Jefferson Treasure Your Parks campaign, an initiative created to help give a face-lift to the more than 50-year-old Clifton H. Lee Memorial Park, which has commonly been known as Rocketship Park. Suffolk County Leg. Kara Hahn (D-Setauket); Jennifer Martin, a representative from Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright’s (DPort Jefferson Station) office; the 2016 New

York State championship runner-up Port Jefferson High School girls basketball team; and droves of excited local kids joined members of the Port Jeff Village board and Mayor Margot Garant to cut the ribbon and officially open the park for the summer. Garant also recognized two Port Jeff kids, Cooper and McKenna Negus, who collected change in a jar and periodically went to Village Hall to contribute to the fundraising efforts for the park. The mayor said she planned to use the money to purchase a tile to commemorate the generous young donors. “Everyday we were building this park we’d have kids hanging out on the outside of the fence saying ‘when can we come and play,’” Garant said. “It’s all about the kids, right?” Garant added the park will be under video surveillance and asked that all those who visit the park help to ensure it remains clean and free of graffiti, vandalism and litter. The total cost of the project was about $900,000, with $500,000 coming from taxpayer dollars, $265,000 from a New York State parks grant and about $120,000 from donations, according to Barbara Sakovich, assistant to the mayor.

A man’s body was found floating in the Long Island Sound about three miles north of Belle Terre Village at about 2 p.m. June 19, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Gregory Blanco, a 41-year-old Commack man. Someone on board the Park City, a Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Company ferry, spotted a body floating in

the water Monday afternoon. The Stratford Fire Department responded and recovered the body, which was transported to the Town of Brookhaven Port Jefferson Marina. The victim had launched in a kayak from Northport. He was pronounced dead by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner who will perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death. On June 11, 24-year-old Huntington Station resident, Selvin Vasquez-Enamorado, launched his kayak from a beach near Crab Meadow Beach in Northport and never returned. His kayak was recovered, and the police have since called off the search.

Centereach resident Edward Perkowski Jr. was found not guilty last month of all charges against him after he was indicted on illegal weapons possession following a raid at his former Mount Sinai home. During the raid, Nazi paraphernalia, drugs and cash were also seized. Perkowski, 34, was the focus of a major Suffolk police news conference last June, but in court, the case unraveled because the jury did not believe detectives’ confidential informant. The informant, according to defense attorney Matt Tuohy, of Huntington, was Perkowski’s former girlfriend. “They made my guy look really, really bad, and he was innocent,” Tuohy said in a statement. “He really suffered.” A Riverhead jury found Perkowski not guilty on all eight counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one charge of criminal possession of a weapon. Other charges in the 14-count indictment were dropped three weeks before the trial began. At the time, Police Commissioner Tim Sini said: “Today’s search warrant might have prevented a deadly, violent incident, like the one we recently saw in Orlando,” referring to the Pulse nightclub massacre. Sini also said the house was “infected with a disease called hate.” “They all called my family Nazis,” said Edward Perkowski Sr., a Vietnam veteran. “All

of the lies started because my son dumped their ‘confidential informant.’ And the police only took the German stuff we collected from World War II, nothing Russian or Chinese or any other country. It bolstered their story. We’re collectors.” The younger Perkowski owns a registered online military surplus company, registered in Riverhead. The money, which was the father’s workmen’s compensation funds, was returned to him. “The jury said the police lied,” the elder Perkowski said. “Everyone thought my son was a Nazi, and he wasn’t.”

Village SCPD: Underage drinking, 400 people at party in PJ Village by Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com A party at a Port Jefferson Village home caused a commotion Saturday night, requiring Suffolk County Police to respond to break up a gathering of approximately 400 people, including some allegedly younger than the legal drinking age, according to police. Sixth Precinct Patrol officers were called to a house on Crystal Brook Hollow Road June 17 by the Port Jeff village constables, according to the Port Jeff Code Chief Wally Tomaszewski. When police arrived, there were approximately 400 people at the residence at 12:45 a.m., and underage drinking was observed. Police arrested and charged the host, Michael Malguarnera, 30, with violating the social host law. He was transported to the 6th Precinct, where he was released on bail. Malguarnera is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip Aug. 18. According to Tomaszewski, a similar party was thrown at the residence the weekend prior. He said Malguarnera threw the party and charged admission at the door, and even offered valet parking for visitors. Members from the village’s “Whiskey Team,” a task force of two Suffolk County Police Department officers assigned to Port Jeff village for the summer months to assist the constables, responded to the call, according to the code chief. This was the first weekend the Whiskey Team was available as a resource for the constables, and they will remain through the summer, Tomaszewski said. The issue was addressed in a post on the village’s official Facebook page. “Although I am sorry this happened in Port Jefferson — I’m also grateful to our code bureau and to SCP for arriving and doing their jobs!,” the post said. “Let this be a lesson — this will not be tolerated in any neighborhood!” Attorney information for Malguarnera was not immediately available.

The soup kitchen president tried to put into words what the generous gesture meant to her. “Can you imagine — god bless them,” she said. “We cannot say enough to describe the incredible generosity of Captain Amanda and her outstanding crew as well as their customers. Because the Greater Port Jefferson community supports our soup kitchen and other like-minded local organizations, we are able to provide for our neighbors in need.” Tumilowicz said the bounty would provide about 500 meals for needy members of the community. Once the fish were caught and fileted, Welcome Friends’ team of volunteers, including cook Arty Shertzer, Mickey Cantwell and Tumilowicz’s husband Bob prepared the meals and bagged and froze fish for future meals. One more positive outcome came from the June 12 outing. A three-year-old pit bull named Bella who was in need of a home at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter was brought aboard for the trip and was since adopted by Eddie McRae, who was on the charter that night. Peterson said about 1,000 pounds of dog food and 500 pounds of canned goods were also part of the yield.

Peace group honors soldiers

By rita j. egan rita@tbrnewspapers.com The Women’s March and Rally to Ban the Bomb in East Setauket coincided with the North Country Peace Group’s annual reading of the 41 names of Long Island soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. After the members’ demonstration, they stood in a circle, holding up a photo of each soldier and reading his name as well as some information about them, including family members left behind. Two members from the North Country Patriots, who stood on the opposite side of Route 25A across from the Peace Group in an opposing rally, came across the street holding a big American flag toward the end of the readings. One said that any memorial honoring soldiers needs flags. After the rally, one of the men, who asked not to be identified, said he tried his best not to interrupt the ceremony but he kept thinking to himself, “They were honoring our soldiers, but there was no American flag.” Rosemary Maffei, of Port Jefferson Station, said the group feels showing the soldiers photos and reading their names is the group’s way of honoring the men who made the ultimate sacrifice. “We had flags at the ceremony but this is a time to remember and reflect, not flag-waving,” Maffei said.

Nonprofit groups working to save the Long Island Sound Participants collaborate with Huntington residents to create water quality report card for harbors and bays By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com There’s team collaboration happening across Long Island to ensure the water in the Long Island Sound is as healthy as possible. Save the Sound, a nonprofit organization based out of Connecticut, is working with local groups and volunteers to create a water quality report card for the Sound’s bays and harbors, in an effort to increase available data for residents to have access to. Monitoring of the open Sound — the areas of the water body beyond bays and harbors — in the last decade has revealed the increasing presence of nitrogen pollution. The contamination leads to algael blooms, red tides, loss of tidal marshes and fish die-offs, and the incremental improvements brought about by wastewater treatment plant upgrades. But researchers have acknowledged that results found in the open Sound may not reflect conditions in the bays and harbors, where a large part of the public comes in contact with the Sound’s water. In May, Save the Sound started conducting the Unified Water Study in 24 sites across the Sound, and participants will be testing the water twice a month through October, looking at dissolved oxygen levels, temperature, dissolved salt levels and overall water quality. Organizers gathered at Huntington Harbor in Halestie to conduct a test June 13, and explained why the report card is so important for the future of all bays and harbors across Long Island. The Long Island Sound Funders Collaborative funded a report card for the sound, with the first one coming out in 2015. “Through the report card process we realized that most of the data we had collected to talk about water quality and the health of the sound was for the open Sound,” said Tracy Brown, director of Save the Sound. “And when we published the report card and showed the scores of water quality, but we didn’t go into all the bays and harbors, the public said, ‘well how about my harbor? How about my cove?’” The bays, harbors and coves are their own unique ecosystems. As a result, Brown said, “we realized we had a data gap.” Certain groups have been doing their own studies in smaller areas, according to brown, but nothing uniform to have a comparative level. The report card focuses on the ecological health, not bacteria levels and risk of contamination for humans entering the water, but rather the creatures living in the water 24/7. “The pollutant of concern is nitrogen,” Brown said. “This study was designed to get into all 116 little bays, harbors and coves that encircle the sound, and our goal is to get into each of them taking the exact same measurements for an assessment to say which of the bays and harbors are not handling the nutrient input well, which ones are really suffering from nutrient pollution, and then we can direct conservation resources.” One of the leading causes of increased

nitrogen is contamination from septic systems, according to Brown, as urine has high levels of nitrogen. She said efforts like Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D) initiatives to improve groundwater and limit nitrogen pollution are a step in the right direction. “Nitrogen pollution has been identified as the single greatest threat to water quality, but for the first time in decades, we have a historic opportunity to turn the tide in our effort to reclaim our waters,” Bellone said in a statement when announcing countywide nitrogen-reducing initiatives for homeowners. Brown reiterated some of the dangers of high levels of nitrogen. “High levels of nitrogen feed growth, creating algal blooms, and when the algal blooms die they suck the oxygen out of the water in that decay process so you create these low oxygen zones,” she said. Algal bloms are created as a result of a rapid increase or accumulation in the population of algae in freshwater or marine water systems, and is recognized by the discoloration in the water from their pigments. Low oxygen levels in the water because of these blooms means finfish and shellfish can’t live in the area, and high nitrogen levels also lead to the destruction of coastal wetlands, which not only serve as a habitat for animals but also are a defense for homes from destructive storms. Brown also said high nitrogen levels are being linked to high acidification levels, which prevent shellfish from forming their shells and reduce the population’s ability to reproduce. About a year ago, Peter Janow, a Cold Spring Harbor resident, got in touch with Save the Sound after hearing about its efforts, and extended an offer to help if the group needed any hands for the Huntington and Northport bay areas. “Once they created the Uniform Water Study, they got in contact with me and asked if I could help out, and I said ‘absolutely brother,’” Janow said of how he first got involved. He eventually ended up joining more volunteers to work together in the area. He said he was motivated to get involved to both make a difference and help become an even more of a contributing member in his community. “Most folks, especially on Long Island we’re surrounded by gorgeous scenes, the harbors, all the water sports,” Janow said. “We [the volunteers] share in the duties, and the role is covering the greater Huntington and Northport complexes including Lloyd Harbor, Huntington Harbor, Centerport Harbor, Northport Harbor and Duck Island Harbor, and each one of those areas has its own qualities. We have a total of 25 specific locations we’re testing water samples from.” Janow said he and the others divide the areas up, spending about three hours over two days testing water samples. The combined efforts are for the benefit of all Long Islanders, and residents can help without getting on the water themselves. “We really hope the public will see the

The science community has identified nitrogen as enemy No. 1 to the Long Island Sound, and the philanthropic community said, ‘what can we do?’ and then they reached out to regional groups to execute their vision, and then we’ve reached out to local groups for help. That’s what’s so interesting about this study — the collaboration.” The effort is far from over. Brown said there is still a need for more volunteers to do studies east of Huntington, including areas in the towns of Smithtown and Brookhaven, especially near the Nissequogue River and Port Jefferson Harbor. This effort travels all the way to Connecticut, and one science teacher at a town in Dover took the initiative to volunteer

Prestigious accreditation

The Comsewogue School District announced to the public their accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. The announcement was made during a reception at the district office June 16. Principals from all district schools were presented with certificates from the association, and the district and Superintendent Joe Rella were praised by elected officials who attended the event. “In ‘The Wizard of Oz’, Dorothy and the Scarecrow and the Lion travel until they are able to find the Emerald City and the Wizard, who basically confirms what they already have,” State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said. “To a certain extent, this accreditation process, and I’ve been involved with schools for a long time, reminds me of that journey. Validation, however, is important, and it does confirm that you already have all of the

Kara Hahn (DSetauket) also praised the district for the achievement. “I am too honored to be here today, and this stamp of excellence, the accreditation that you have achieved, you have fought for and spent so much time proving what we already knew; the excellence here and commitment to our children,” she said. “Now the world knows it.” Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) expressed a similar sentiment. “I wanted to be here not only because I am a member of this community, but also because as an elected official representing this community, I think it’s important that we stand up in front of the community to say how much we value this school district,” she said. “I have an eight and a half month old child and I cannot wait to send her to Comsewogue.” — Alex Petroski

Village Chamber’s Green Fest draws environmentally conscious community members By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Last weekend, Port Jefferson was a haven for those concerned about the environment and interested in making changes in their everyday life to help improve the health of the Earth. The Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce hosted its ninth annual Green Fest June 17 at the Village Center, where members of the community and representatives from nonprofits and companies with energy efficiency missions gathered to inform and help others learn about living a greener lifestyle. Nearly 30 vendors were present, sharing messages and initiatives with attendees, including Direct Energy Solar,

a company that specializes in installing solar energy systems for homes; PowerUp Communities, a Long Island Progressive Coalition project that offers free energy efficiency assessments for homes and offers financial assistance through state grants for efficiency improvements; Power Energy Solutions, a company that specializes in the installation and service of smart home equipment like efficient thermostats and smart lights, which can be utilized to drastically reduce a home’s footprint; and the Citizen’s Climate Lobby, an international nonprofit advocating for federal legislation for a carbon emission fee. Crystal Woods, a representative from PowerUp Communities, explained the importance of the company’s work and why participation in events like Green Fest is vital, especially on Long Island. “We help homeowners get a free home energy assessment that’s provided to them by the state through [the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority], so they can find out what they’re wasting on their utility bills,” she said. “I do get encouraged when people ask questions about things like this … It’s not just putting a solar panel on the roof of your house, it’s unplugging your cellphone at night or making sure your computer is shut off when you’re not using it — basic, simple things that can make a huge impact.” Michael Ripa, the co-owner of Powers Energy Solutions, reiterated Woods’ encouragement with the turnout and interest of the community during the event. He said the company was started by his partner Jason Powers when he was working for the Department of Energy in Washington, D.C., because Ripa said Powers saw a void in skilled, trade labor working in the field to install and service equipment meant to Photos by Alex Petroski improve energy effiAbove, ranger eric Powers of ciency in homes. “This is great,” he your Connection to Nature at said of the inquisitive Port Jeff’s annual Green Fest nature of visitors of the June 17. top left, representatives event and wide avail- from Powers energy solutions ability of important in- explain initiatives to visitors. formation. “Our office is in Port Jefferson. I’m hoping to see more and more of this — it’s very cool.” Jeanne Brunson, the leader of the Long Island Chapter of the international organization Citizens’ Climate Lobby, stressed the importance of eliminating political bias from discussions about the environment. “We all care about our natural resources — conservative, progressive, doesn’t matter,” she said. “That’s something that we all care about especially here on Long Island, where the impacts of climate change could be so catastrophic. I love to see people coming together regardless of political persuasion on that.” Brunson added her mission in attending the event was to encourage visitors to ask their representatives in Congress to support legislation to enact a carbon fee, which would charge energy companies that use fossil fuels and would reimburse American taxpayers with the money. “So it’s a price signal to the market to shift away from fossil fuels,” she said. “It’s a carbon tax, which we refer to as a fee because of the return of the revenue.” Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce Director of Operations Barbara Ransome said the event was a success because it allowed visitors to speak one on one with vendors on ways to achieve a more sustainable lifestyle.

Shane DeVincenzo making a name for Port Jeff golf Sophomore finishes sixth in state tournament By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Intense focus is a common characteristic among many successful golfers. For Port Jefferson golfer Shane DeVincenzo it’s no different. On a whiteboard in his room, he wrote down five goals back in January — place in the Top 10 in the American Junior Golf Association preview tournament, rank in the Top 20 among New York State high school golfers, win two tournaments this summer, become a Suffolk County and state champion, and sign a letter of intent to play golf in college. The standout athlete clearly has a laserlike focus on his goals, as he has already checked off the first two items on his list, and the sophomore isn’t stopping there. “My whole summer is going to be golf,” Shane said. “I’ve progressed really quickly, and the better I get the more I like it.” Shane started swinging a golf club during the summer before eighth grade. As a freshman, he traveled upstate to compete for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association title, and finished 60th. Returning this past season, he placed ninth in the AJGA preview tournament; finished second in the county, losing in a sudden-death playoff hole; and moved up to sixth in the state and fifth in Federation, which earned him All-State honors. The 16-year-old is the first Royal since 1962 to achieve the feat. “I still don’t think it’s sunk in yet — to me, it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal,” Shane said of his huge turnaround in the state tournament. “But it pushes me to keep going.” Although he may not notice how big the boost up in the rankings really is, especially being that there are no classes or divisions in New York high school golf, his head coach at Port Jefferson was there to reassure him he’s growing in the sport, and fast. “The first few days he came down to tryouts, you could see he had some ability, it was just a matter of where he was going to go from there, and how hard he was going to work,” Port Jefferson head coach Chuck Ruoff said of his initial impressions of Shane. “I’ve seen tremendous progression. The trajectory he’s taken in the past three years — the improvement — I’ve never seen anything like it.”

He has come a long way not only individually, but he has also helped make a name for the school, as he joins recent Port Jefferson athletes who have turned in some stellar performances in wrestling, soccer, basketball and now golf. “We’ve been fortunate this year to have a couple of kids that put Port Jeff back on the map in a lot of different ways,” Port Jefferson athletic director Danielle Turner said. “It’s changing the whole athletic scape of the district. He’s been a light switch.” Besides working with Ruoff for the past three seasons, Shane signed up for lessons with Port Jefferson Country Club head professional golf instructor Bill Mackedon, who competed in PGA tour events, won three Player of the Year awards and still holds three course records. Mackedon’s father was also a head pro at country clubs for 35 years. “He has fantastic fundamentals,” Mackedon said. “We’re fortunate that we come across children that are gifted athletically, and he’s certainly one of those kids. Shane’s developed so nicely.” The pair has also been working together for three years, in the hopes of becoming more competitive over the last two. “He has exceptional talent and I think he can play at the highest level if he continues to improve,” Mackedon said. “I think the future is certainly bright for him.” Shane has learned to properly grip the club from his coaches, successfully complete pulling back on the iron, lowering it and swinging away, and now he’s working on rotating his lower body to gain maximum distance. “I give credit to both of them,” Shane said of his coaches. “They’ve taught me a lot of things. They’ve brought me a long way.” Mackedon said given Shane’s age and current skill level, his future success will come down to conditioning, which they work on twice a week. His Port Jeff coach said his athlete never stops working. “Shane is a perfectionist,” Ruoff said. “Until he feels he’s comfortable with it, he won’t stop. He’ll continue to work at that skill, continue to address that problem. By the second year of him playing, he was clearly the best player we had. He was making a name for himself among other players in the league, and took even another step forward this year,

‘He’s the best player to come through Port Jeff, definitely in my time and probably ever.’ — Chuck Ruoff

Clockwise from left, Port Jefferson sophomore golfer shane DeVincenzo with his medal after swinging his way to fifth in the state Federation tournament in Bethpage. and clearly established himself as the best player in our league.” Shane was taking on players from top teams like Ward Melville, Northport and Middle Country. He used his work ethic and drive to help Port Jefferson outscore Ward Melville twice this past season, for the first time in school history. The Patriots had previously gone on an 88-match win streak that ended last year. “I’ve seen some kids among other teams we play — a lot of great players — and Shane is certainly putting himself right up there,” Ruoff said. “But he’s the best player to come through Port Jeff, definitely in my time and probably ever.” In Ruoff’s eyes, Shane’s greatness is evidence of his dedication to the sport, and the changes he has made to continue to reach his goals. During the state tournament, Shane was one shot off the lead going into the back nine. He got into an unlucky situation where his ball was buried in a bunker, and his score rose as a result. “At that point, he could’ve done one of two things — he could have let that be the end, and let it continue to bother him, or push through it,” Ruoff said. “And he didn’t

let it affect his game. That poise, confidence and consistency is something we’re striving for. He has all the tools — the physicality and the skills. He’ll be our team leader this fall and we’re hoping to go back to Cornell [University] and make our way to the top of the leader board.” Shane’s father Matt DeVincenzo, athletic director in the Comsewogue School District, who has seen two of his sons go on to make names for themselves in wrestling, couldn’t help but smile thinking about all his son has achieved in such a short time. “It turned out to be the best choice for him,” he said of Shane, who also played middle school football, baseball and basketball, and continues to wrestle. “He’s matured so much since last year — he doesn’t get as rattled when he doesn’t make a good shot — he looks like a seasoned kid out there.” DeVinenzo recalled the first time he took his son to Country Fair after they returned from a golf camp, which is where he got hooked on swinging the club. “I recorded him because I thought it was fun,” DeVincenzo said. “Now, Shane and I look at the video to see how far he’s come.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

Father’s Day reflections

A change to improve pedestrian safety

To commemorate Father’s Day last Sunday, our editorial staff wanted to take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the dedicated and caring fathers and father figures who have shaped our lives. Rita J. Egan: Everyone gets one father but some get more than one, and on Father’s Day I remember all the men who stepped in and filled the void in a child’s life. After my parents separated, I moved in with my maternal grandparents, and it was my grandfather who provided paternal guidance in my life. I would spend hours following him around as he worked on his paintings or did his chores around the house and yard. A left-hander like me, he showed me how to write neatly and taught me how to draw — two things I never quite mastered as well as he did. He’s the one who bought my friend and me tickets to my favorite boy band’s concert, even though at first he and my grandmother told me I couldn’t go to their Nassau Coliseum show. He’s the one who went to the parent-teacher’s conference and drove me to religion classes and kickline practices. And, those memories and many others are what are cherished on Father’s Day. Desirée Keegan: Being a single parent, my mother had to be soft but stern, a protector and a provider, a patriarch and an exemplar. Like many single moms, she has always been a guiding light, sacrificing for the betterment of her two children, but was always right there to be a shoulder to cry on or a handyman when needed too. She built a better life — her sacrifices led to greater rewards, and with limited resources, she ensured mental and emotional well-being, while always making sure there was food on the table. Through thick and thin my mother has supported me. She’s the biggest inspiration in my life, and she surpasses Superman in my mental list of heroes. Mom, you are powerful. You’ve been two parents in one. To my compassionate, loving, beautiful mother who has always been more than enough, Happy Father’s Day to you. Victoria Espinoza: The first time I saw my dad teaching a science class at Hofstra University, I saw a man I had never seen in the 18 years we shared a roof — the excitement and passion in his eyes, the joy when his students raised their hands and participated in the lesson. It’s a memory I will never forget of Dr. Fernando Espinoza. On my bedroom wall is a chalkboard with the phrase, “Just because it’s not intuitive, doesn’t mean I don’t have the capacity to learn it.” Spoken from the brain of my father, the nutty professor, it’s a lesson I carry with me. It can relate to my dad’s travels to America from Colombia, his struggles learning English, his journey becoming a father of four, and the wisdom he hopes to instill in his students. One day I hope it will help describe my life as well. There are no words I would rather have define my life than the words of my father. Alex Petroski: Being a baseball and hockey dad undoubtedly presents a number of challenges for most fathers. Striking a balance between focused direction in the hopes of achieving improvement and never failing to remember that you’ve all gathered to enjoy a kids’ game is surely no easy task. As I got older and the competition in the moment seemed more and more important, a third task presented itself for my dad. No matter how many times I kicked a ground ball that let a run score, or missed picking up a man cutting to the net for a goal, after some words of advice on how to do better next time, the conversation always went back to the positives. No mistake was large enough to dwell on and ignore even the most miniscule sign of improvement that his trained eye had picked up. He juggled those three things masterfully and as a result I have nothing but fond memories of the times my dad and I spent on the same field or rink as part of the same team. Many negative connotations associated with youth sports in our country would be demolished if there were more dads like mine out there. Kevin Redding: I never feel less driven than when I’m around my dad. He’s a man of many talents, with a particular knack for building and cooking things. There hasn’t been a day I’ve known him where he hasn’t built some sort of elaborate piece of furniture or fun accessory and followed it up with a delicious home-cooked meal, a personal favorite being his Korean barbecue. Just a few years ago he went back to college to attain an engineering degree with hopes that it would bring him a new and exciting career … and it worked. He and my mom live in Florida now, where he works as an entertainment technician and lighting crew chief at Hollywood Studios in Disney World. Love ya, dad.

Crystal Brook Hollow Road, between Old Post Road and Oakwood, is a very narrow road, especially now since road guards have been installed. There is virtually no room for a pedestrian. This also represents a danger to drivers of cars or trucks who might swerve upon encountering a walker or jogger. It is almost impossible to see a walker as you drive over a hill, because there is simply

insufficient room for both vehicles and people. And if two drivers are approaching in opposite directions, a pedestrian will possibly end up jumping into the trees on one side or over the road guard on the other, or worse. I personally have observed close calls on Crystal Brook. I hope that a nopedestrian zone can be established on this portion of Crystal Brook Hollow

Road. It is long overdue. It would be a tragedy if a vehicle should strike a child or an adult. The Town of Brookhaven was informed about this situation over a year ago, but chose to do nothing. It is a town road and Brookhaven should do something about this lifethreatening situation.

Herbert Herman Port Jefferson

We can feel hopeless or hopeful The other day a friend shared a statistic that heroin is now the leading cause of death in Americans under 50 years old. It is reported that, today, 144 people will die from accidental overdose. I have been working in health care for 30 years and watching our society become what I term “sicker and sadder.” The statistics are indisputable and show that too many people are living in despair. When you add the 144 heroin overdoses to the 121 suicides completed every day, which includes 22 of our veterans, and acknowledge not only the noted increase of suicide rate in our children and teens but the fact that, for every one suicide completed 25 are attempted, there is no disputing the negative and/or hopeless feelings of so many people. We hear a lot about accidental overdose — I thought it fair to include why people may start using drugs in the first place. Per Foundation for a Drug Free World, “people take drugs because they want to change something about their lives.” It is evident that there are two categories of people — the ones who absolutely need rehab and

Letters …

recovery and the ones who may be having a negative life experience that haven’t gotten to this point. One more statistic — as per the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older. In addition, major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. for ages 15 to 44 and affects more than 15 million American adults in a given year. It breaks my heart that so many people live their lives in despair. I believe community support will help in many ways, including helping those who feel depressed or alone or isolated. We can continue to fight “wars” or we can begin to provide proactive life and coping skills to use in our lives and our communities that will potentially circumvent the development of a negative life experience and the utilization of self-destructive behaviors. I have many years of experience working in the field of quality improvement. As I continue to learn and to research, it becomes more than evident to me that we are going about helping our

people achieve quality of life the wrong way. We are “chasing our tail” instead of providing proactive skills and tools where our people may choose a better option to handling life situations, no matter how horrible they may be, versus utilizing self-destructive options. It is now evident to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that helping people learn what they need to enjoy life, helping people feel a sense of community, will undoubtedly help to stop the cycle we are currently experiencing. The approach to find opportunities to love life, to help people with problem solving and resources so they don’t feel the need to use drugs to self-medicate may be a better solution. Just imagine if we bring together people to share their talents — all people in our communities including our veterans, our seniors and our youth — so no one feels alone. The goals to decrease social isolation and create a purposeful life additionally will, in turn, increase longevity and the quality of life of our people. It is researched and proven.

OpiniOn Taking extra time to reach your goals

urry, hurry, hurry! You’ve got five minutes to get to the high school before your daughter’s graduation. It usually takes six. You might have to go faster than the speed limit, but you’ve done it before. Your daughter looks great and she’s so calm. You push on the accelerator on the straight road ahead. Your daughter takes a deep breath. OK, just a little faster and you’ll make it. Oh, no, no, no, a small car pulls in front By Daniel Dunaief of you. It’s being driven at 25 mph in a 35 mph zone. Why do cars pull in front of you and then go slowly? “Come on!” you implore, flicking your fingers forward as if you were

D. None of the above

trying to scratch a chalkboard from the bottom up. “Dad, it’s OK,” your daughter insists. “I don’t want you to be late,” you say. You drive carefully around a curve and head for another straight part of the road. You reach a stop sign, where a BMW misses an opening to go. It was a small one, but you’ve got to make your own openings in this town. That’s what you’d tell everyone today if you were giving the speech your daughter won the right to deliver. Your daughter did better in school than you did. That makes you proud, but you don’t have time to be proud. All these people are slowing you down. You just have a few more turns. A Girl Scout troop crosses the road in front of you. Your daughter was in Girl Scouts years ago, but you don’t like them now. They’re making you late for such an important day for the family. Then the Girl Scouts, whose uniforms make you think of those mint cookies, cross the street. You’re a block

from the school and a sedan takes forever to park. You grind your teeth and lift your hand to touch the horn. Your daughter puts her hand firmly on yours and shakes her head slowly. The woman with streaks of gray in her hair and a green suit looks vaguely familiar as she gets out of a car. Finally, you park, get in the school and, shockingly, your daughter’s friends have reserved you great seats. You pick up your phone to start recording your daughter’s speech. The camera’s out of memory. You grind your teeth as you try to delete enough old pictures to record this magic moment. “Good morning,” your daughter’s voice offers the room. Your wife tells you to stop fiddling with your phone and look up. After your daughter shares memories of high school, she wants to offer advice to her class. “I want you to remember to leave some margin for error,” she urges.

Right, you smile. Your daughter, who made so many fewer errors than you did, is talking to the other people about their mistakes. You nod to the other people. “If we need to do something, to be somewhere or to accomplish anything, we need to accept that the route might include detours or unexpected obstacles,” she offers, sharing that crooked smile she developed in middle school. “It’s not anyone else’s fault. If it’s important, don’t blame the obstacles. Be prepared for them. Planning means understanding them and giving yourself some extra time to reach your goals.” You take a deep breath, the way she did so many times while she waited for you at the entrance to the house. You look around the room to see if anyone else knows she’s talking to you. You now recognize the woman on stage with streaks of gray in her hair and a green suit; she’s the superintendent of schools.

Summertime, and we love all the freedoms

uddenly it’s summer. Yes, the graduations from high school are still to come, and perhaps a sweet 16 party or a wedding, but by and large we are beginning to wind down into summer. How I have always treasured this time of year, with its anticipation of freedoms. There is freedom from unrelenting school schedBy Leah S.

constraints of almost every kind. Of course we still have to do things like take out the garbage and water the lawn and the plants, but those regular chores are so much easier when it isn’t winter-frigid or spring-wet. We’ll suffer spraying to keep the mosquitoes away, checking for ticks and smearing on countless layers of sunscreen as long as we can don a bathing suit, grab a towel and whip down to a beach. We might even bring some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with us, but somehow making them then doesn’t seem such an effort. The first sense to awaken in the morning for me these days is my hearing. Before I even open my eyes, I delight in the bird songs. Those birds have been up for hours, it seems, and they are heavily in conversation. Who knows what they are saying? Maybe they’re planning the day’s activities, or maybe they are just scolding each other. My best guess is that they are gossiping as they work, searching for food for

their newborns and themselves. Their sounds draw my eyes to the window before I rise. If the sun is bright, then the sky is a rich blue and the leaves dancing on the tree limbs are a lush summer green. A tiny white butterfly passes in front of the panes, followed by a swooping bird on a mission. I hear the birds again and I realize now what they are saying: “Get up, get up you sleepyhead. You’ve already slept half the day away.” I jump out of bed. It is only a little past 7 o’clock, but it has long been light. I know that because these are the longest days of the year, and that makes most of us happy. And I realize that I don’t have to hurry. For most of us, summer is a time to slow down and kick back a little — unless we sell ice cream or are landscapers. It’s a time to read a book, socialize later into the day, go to an air-conditioned movie or otherwise just relax. Do you wonder how people in California regard summer, in places like San Diego where it is pretty warm all year round? I think summer

is a state of mind as well as a warm succession of weeks. Even residents of La Jolla must enjoy the freedoms that come with the season, spoiled though they might be by the pictureperfect weather. I don’t know if children do this so much any more with the various enrichment activities available but, when I was a child, summer was a time to do nothing — or anything I wanted to do each day when I awoke. Much of my time was taken up with reading. I would take stacks of books from the public library, with special dispensation from the neighborhood librarian who got to know me, and read them throughout the summer under a tree, on a chaise, at a pool before I fell asleep at night. I realized years later that I not only enjoyed the magic carpet trip that a book afforded me but especially the learning that came from its pages. Here’s wishing us wonderful weeks ahead as we rejoice in the warmth, the light, the colors — and the freedoms of summer.
