Hundreds rally for stricter gun control in Huntington BY KAREN FORMAN

‘All you students, your voices count. Fight for change.’

Among the signs carried by rally participants included “NRA profits are bathed in the blood of our children.” Israel has also written a 320-page book titled “Big Guns,” a comical novel about the firearms industry and Washington politics, which is currently scheduled to be published in April. “If adult politicians can’t keep you safe, you vote against them,” he said, to which the crowd responded with “Vote them out.” “Change is coming and you are our change. We are going to make the world safe again.” Commack resident Paul Guttenberg, uncle of slain 14-year-old Parkland student Jaime Guttenberg, took to the stage to address the crowd. “She will never get to go to college, get married or have children of her own because of assault rifles,” he said. “Mass shooting can happen in any town in this country. We have to stop gun violence in this country and ban assault rifles.” Guttenberg encouraged those students at the rally to use the rally’s momentum to keep pushing for stricter gun legislation. “All you students, your voices count,” he said. “Fight for change.”

No more violence.” Max Robins, a member of the March for Our Lives Long Island group, concluded the two-hour rally with a motivating speech and call to action. “All the students who died in these mass shootings had their voices robbed from them,” Robins said. “Now we have to be their voices. And we are the voice that will not be silenced. We will not be forgotten.” View additional photos from Huntington’s March for Our Lives rally and others across the North Shore of Long Island at www.tbrnewsmedia.com.

TOWN Huntington seeks identities of those buried at Jones Cemetery BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

Huntington town officials are seeking the public’s help in putting back together forgotten pieces of African-American history in Cold Spring Harbor. Located off the east side of Harbor Road, there is a small plot of town-owned land that’s only known as Jones Cemetery. Huntington Town Historian Robert Hughes said it is named after the Jones family that owned extensive pieces of land in the area in both the current towns of Huntington and Oyster Bay through the 20th century. They’re also famous for starting Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Company. Hughes said he believes most, if not all of those buried in the cemetery are AfricanAmericans who once worked for the Jones family — some as slaves. “The Jones Cemetery is one of 56 historic cemeteries located throughout the Town of Huntington,” Hughes said. “Unfortunately, many have become overgrown over the years. Other priorities often take precedence over cemetery cleanups.” Hughes, Huntington’s director of minority affairs Kevin Thorbourne and volunteers from St. John’s Church in Cold Spring Harbor cleaned up the cemetery grounds March 3. Their work revealed about three dozen graves marked only by simple field stones and two traditional marble headstones.

Pastor Gideon Pollach of St. John’s Church and Denice Evans-Sheppard at Jones Cemetery in Cold Spring Harbor. One of the marked headstone is for Alfred Thorn, an African-American who worked for Charles Jones, and then Oliver Jones as a coachman. Thorn died Feb. 3, 1900, at age 55. The other marble headstone is for Patience Thorn, who is believed to be Alfred’s mother, according to Hughes. The identities of the three dozen others buried in the cemetery are unknown. Denice Evans-Sheppard, the new director

of the Oyster Bay Historic Society, said she has reason to believe one of her ancestors is buried in Jones Cemetery. “It’s like finding the missing piece to the puzzle,” she said. Evans-Sheppard said growing up she was told her family originally worked on the Jones family estate. Her great-great-greatgrandfather, Lewis Carll, once worked as one of the coachman for the Jones family. He’s

the only member of her family not buried in Oyster Bay, according to Evans-Sheppard. “We knew he was most likely buried up there at that cemetery,” she said. “We could not find it as there was a lot of brush covering up the graves and headstones.” She was invited to tour the grounds with Gideon Pollach, pastor of St. John’s Church; Hughes and Thorbourne after the cleanup March 7. “It was beautiful to finally make that connection,” she said. Evans-Sheppard said she knows some descendants of other African-American families who worked for the Jones, including the Jacksons, the Seamans and her own, the Carlls. Many related individuals still live in nearby areas of Huntington, Oyster Bay and Amityville, she said. Along with Huntington Town officials, Evans-Sheppard is hoping families will step forward to help identify their remains. “The Town of Huntington has a rich history of contributions from the AfricanAmerican community, and to learn who was buried at Jones Cemetery will help us put the missing pieces of Huntington’s history back together,” said Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) in a statement. Anyone with information on individuals who may be interred in the cemetery is encouraged to contact Hughes at 631-3513244 or email at rhughes@huntingtonny.gov.

Town publishes draft Crab Meadow Watershed Plan BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Huntington Town officials released a draft of the longawaited Crab Meadow Watershed Plan for public review March 23. The 154-page study was prepared by GEI Consultants, with the goal of developing a community-driven stewardship plan that highlights best practices in the future management of the watershed area. The study focused on evaluating the environmental conditions of roughly 6 square miles of downward-sloping land around the Jerome A. Ambro Memorial Wetland Preserve in Fort Salonga. “Policies on everything from golf course pesticides to the types of road salt that we use can have an effect on the wetlands,” said Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) in a statement. “By adopting a stewardship plan, the town is looking to implement policies in the collective best interests of the environment.” John Hayes, president of the Fort Salonga Property Owners Association, said his civic’s members have long awaited the results of this study. They believe its results would justify their concerns about development on Indian Hills Country Club, which lays on the border of Huntington and Smithtown. Developer Jim Tsunis and The Northwind Group have a subdivision application pending before Huntington Planning Board to construct 98 townhouses for seniors age 55 and older, to be named The Preserve at Indian Hills, alongside the existing golf course and expanding the current clubhouse. The Fort Salonga association has asked town officials to place a moratorium on new developments in the Crab Meadow Watershed area, which includes Indian Hills, until the stewardship plan was completed. They fear the addition of 98 homes will be devastating to the local wetlands. “You don’t have to be a genius to see that the report indicates that it’s not a good idea,” Hayes said. He pointed to a portion of the draft study that recognizes the watershed area is currently built out to its zoned density and, in his interpretation, any new development could severely impact the local wetlands. “It does say that the development whether on existing sites or small developments — and this is not a small development — has the potential to take an incremental toll on the system,” Hayes said. “It follows that the primary watershed area, which includes Indian Hills Country Club, has the potential to have a more direct impact. That’s pretty straightforward.” The property owners also cited concerns regarding excessive water runoff if townhouses are built on the bluff’s slopes. The proposed development they fear could worsen existing flooding of local roadways and increase pollutant levels of nitrates and phosphorus in various bodies of water, including Fresh Water Pond. The Town of Huntington Planning Board is expected to vote Wednesday night on a resolution that would require The Northwind Group to perform a full environmental study of its proposed development. “The board will be utilizing portions of the draft Crab Meadow Watershed study to substantiate its decision to issue a positive [SEQRA] declaration,” said town spokeswoman Lauren Lembo. “A positive declaration is issued in order to establish the fact that the intended project may have one or more significant environmental impacts and that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement must be prepared to analyze potential impacts.” Residents can review the full draft watershed report on the town’s website under the Planning and Environment Department page at: www.huntingtonny.gov/crab-meadow-watershed. The town is accepting all public comments through April 30 either online or letters can be mailed to: Huntington Town Hall, Department of Maritime Services (Room 300), 100 Main St., Huntington, NY 11743.

It’s a solemn week ahead for Commack and Huntington Town residents as they mourn one who made the ultimate sacrifice for the love of his country. The funeral services have been scheduled for Master Sgt. Christopher Raguso, of Commack, who was one of the seven U.S. airmen killed when a HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter crashed in Iraq March 15. The wake will be held at Commack Fire Department Headquarters, located at 6309 Jericho Turnpike, March 29 and 30 with visitations both days from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. The funeral service will be held at St. Joseph’s Church March 31 at 11 a.m. The church is located at 59 Church St. in Kings Park. Suffolk police will shut down one lane of Jericho Turnpike between Valmont Avenue and Commack Road in Commack on March 29 and 30 between noon and approximately 10 p.m. Indian Head Road will closed between Kings Park Road and Old Dock Road March 31 from 8 a.m. to approximately 3 p.m. Church Street, portions of Old Dock Road and portions of Route 25A will also be closed. Smithtown Town officials announced there will be road closures in Kings Park along the ceremony route. It will start at Clayton Funeral Home on Meadow Road south to Old Northport Road March 31, starting as early as 9 a.m. The funeral service is scheduled for 11 a.m. at Clayton Funeral Home, located at 25 Meadow Road in Kings Park. Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) has asked all residents to plan accordingly and to please have patience out of respect for the Raguso family and friends. Heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic is expected and motorists are advised to find alternate routes. Raguso served with the Commack Fire Department as lieutenant of Company 4, located off Kings Park Road. He had joined as a volunteer in 2000, according to Commack Fire Commissioner Pat Fazio, and previously served as captain of Company 2 located on Elwood Road. “He was a devoted father, devoted husband, devoted family man and a true patriot to our company,” Fazio said. “It’s unfortunate the timing and passing of his death while serving his country and fighting for the freedoms we all enjoy.” Raguso was posthumously bestowed the rank of honorary fire chief based on a unanimous vote of the Commack Fire Department’s membership March 16. He was well known in the firehouse as he played an “integral role” in training new members, according to Fazio. “It’s not for any other reason other than he would have achieved the rank of chief, no doubt,” the commissioner said. “It was an aspiration he had, it was well known and something he would have achieved.” Raguso was also a 13-year veteran of the Fire Department of the City of New York, where he was currently serving as a lieutenant assigned to Battalion 50 in Queens. On six different occasions, he was cited for bravery and life-saving actions either for his individual actions or as part of a unit. “Lieutenant Raguso and Fire Marshal [Christopher] Zanetis bravely wore two uniforms in their extraordinary lives of service — as New York City firefighters and as members of the United States Armed Forces,” said FDNY Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro. Capt. Andreas O’Keeffe, 37, of Center Moriches; Capt. Christopher Zanetis, 37, of Long Island City; and Staff Sgt. Dashan Briggs, of Port Jefferson Station, were the others from the rescue wing involved in the fatal crash, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.

Blue Devils bring the heat in win over William Floyd Huntington’s girls lacrosse players couldn’t wait for practice to start, and now they’re excited that the season has begun. The Blue Devils demolished William Floyd March 27, outscoring the Colonials 14-2 in their home opener. Paige Lennon scored four goals to lead Huntington, and Izzy Piccola and Abby Maichin each tallied three goals and one assist. “I think that we have learned a lot from last year,” said Maichin, an All-Division sophomore who led the team in scoring as a freshman. “I think we are going to have a super-strong year with help from everyone from the freshmen to the seniors. Everyone is going to be able to contribute a lot to the team and help us to get really far and have an extremely successful season.” After a 9-8 2017 campaign, Huntington reached the Suffolk County Division I playoffs, where they bowed to Riverhead in a thrilling 10-9 game. “I’m really excited for this season,” said senior All-County returnee Emma Greenhill, who scored 34 goals and 12 assists last year, and notched a hat trick in the March 27 win. “We had all been working really hard during our time off preparing for tryouts. We scrimmaged some really tough teams in the beginning of the season, which definitely helps us going into our league games. I think we could be

Looking for someone to take a leap Huntington High School is looking for its next pole-vaulting star. “It sure would be great to start contesting the pole vault event again,” said head coach Ron Wilson, who is looking to turn two or three student-athletes into new track-and-field team members. “We are giving away points by not having anyone. Plus, our kids are missing out on something that’s really a great deal of fun. It’s a quirky event and definitely something that a person has to work at — it doesn’t come naturally — but we have coaches that can help kids interested in learning about it.” Pole vault has been a men’s event in the summer Olympics since the modern games were first contested in 1896. It was added to

women’s Olympic games in 2000. Pole vaulters use a long, flexible pole to help hoist themselves over a bar. Athletes run toward the bar with the pole in hand, and place one end of it in a specially designed groove. The pole bends and snaps back to help carry an athlete over the bar, which must stay in place for the attempt to be measured and count for score. Thick padded mats rest beneath the bar to fall down on. “I’d really love it if a few kids decided they want to give it a shot,” Wilson said. “The younger the better, because it will give them plenty of time to learn about the event and the techniques it requires.” Any interested athletes can email Wilson at rwilson@hufsd.edu.

backed up Annunziata’s claim. “It looks like it’s going to be a strong team, all in all,” she said. “Everyone has been putting in an overwhelming amount of work to get to the next level of play this year.” Megan Bacik and Maya Santa-Maria combined for seven saves in Huntington’s win. Huntington hosts Bay Shore April 4 at 11:45 a.m. and travels to Longwood April

6 for a 4:30 p.m. matchup “This season is really special to me because I’ve been playing with the girls from the senior class since second grade and can’t wait to end [my high school career] on a good note,” Piccola said. “There are about 10 seniors graduating, and we are ready to make this season count and finish strong.”

Welcoming Julian Watts Julian Watts is the Huntington varsity lacrosse team’s new head coach after Kevin Travis stepped aside from the position. Watts, who had been serving as the team’s assistant coach, has been a full-time Huntington health education teacher since September 2015. Prior to that, he worked in the district on a parttime basis for two years. A graduate of St. Anthony’s High School, he obtained a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Hofstra University, where he also earned a master’s degree in health education. He is currently studying for his state administrative certification at Stony Brook University. Watts lettered in football, basketball and lacrosse in high school, and earned postseason honors in football and lacrosse. At Hofstra, Watts played in 60 games as a defender from 2004-07, and was named team captain his senior year. He went on to earn a spot on the Colonial Athletic Association’s All-Tournament team. During his playing career, Watts switched between defense and long-stick midfielder. He played several seasons of professional lacrosse after graduating from Hofstra.

MIKE CONNELL

Huntington’s 2015 graduate, Joe Saginaw, was a pole vaulter with the Blue Devils.

Maya Santa-Maria makes a save, above, in a game last season. Abby Maichin, on left, catches a pass as she heads up the field.

Julian Watts Joe Trezza will serve as one of Watts’ assistants. He was an assistant coach at J. Taylor Finley Middle School last spring, and earned an undergraduate degree in physical education at Wesley College in 2011. He was a volunteer assistant with the Kings Park varsity team in 2015. — HUNTINGTON ATHLETICS

OPINION Editorial

Keep the wheels in motion The 1980s rock band White Lion said it best when they sang: “When the children cry let them know we tried, ’cause when the children sing then the new world begins.” Children across the country ensured their cries were heard March 24 when millions of them took to the streets to call for implementation of stricter gun control laws as part of hundreds of March for Our Lives rallies. Now we have a challenge for them and the parents and grandparents who joined them — keep the momentum. The rallies were inspired by the battle cries of students who survived the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. For centuries, protesting has been a popular way to get politicians to pay attention, but those rallying calls need to be followed by action in order to get things done. We surmise many if not most of the student marchers understand this is just beginning, like Avalon Fenster, one of the organizers of the March 24 rally in Huntington. “In the long term, we want to get youth more civically involved, collaborating with elected officials to create legislation that makes our lives a priority,” Fenster said. It’s something Port Jefferson High School students Ben Zaltsman, Matt Pifko and Gavin Barrett also get. These students helped establish a station in their high school where their peers can get assistance in writing letters to their representatives. Letter writing, emailing and calling the offices of elected officials is a vital process to let legislators know what their constituents want and need. However, writing to a congressman is not the end of the line either if true change is the students’ goal. All the letters and phone calls in the world mean nothing if a person isn’t registered to vote. The March for Our Lives website, www.marchforourlives.com, has set up a form to make it easier for voters to register. It’s a rite of passage and a civic responsibility when a teen turns 18. High school students who are heading off to college in the fall need to also familiarize themselves and their peers with the process of obtaining and submitting an absentee ballot. If you are registered to vote in Setauket but go to school at SUNY Cortland, unless you’re driving home on the morning of Nov. 6, an absentee ballot is your only option. Simply showing up to fill out a ballot is not enough either. People of all ages need to ask themselves what matters most to them, and then see how their representatives in the U. S. Senate, House of Representatives and state positions vote on issues. There’s one more step 18-year-old marchers need to keep on the table as well. If you feel you and your community are not being represented effectively by those in power, consider running for office, or at least help those who represent your interests get elected. That’s what 24-year-old Josh Lafazan did last November, and he became Nassau County’s youngest legislator. For a few political offices — including New York State senator and assemblyperson — the minimum age requirement is 18 years old. To serve in the federal government, you must be at least 25 years old. Leslie Gibson, a Republican candidate for the Maine House of Representatives, is a living embodiment of what is possible. He recently dropped out of his race after receiving criticism for remarks he made on Twitter about Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, including calling Emma Gonzalez, who has been in the forefront of the movement, a “skinhead lesbian.” He had been running unopposed, but after he made the comment, challengers sprung up from both parties, including a 28-year-old Democrat who had never considered seeking political office before. We’ve heard the children’s cries. Now the real work begins.

Letters to the editor

Mr. President: Let the GEC do its job Dear President Trump, We write today regarding the Department of State’s Global Engagement Center. In particular, we write to urge you to enable and fully resource the GEC to effectively execute its roles and responsibilities in leading the United States efforts to counter the exploitation of the information environment by state and non-state actors aimed at undermining U.S. national security interests. The 2018 National Security Strategy acknowledges the risk weaponization of information poses to U.S. national security. Examples include the Islamic State’s successful use of propaganda for recruiting and inspiring violence and the Russian Federation’s continuous employment of global information operations aimed at undermining democratic institutions, values and principles. The 2018 NSS concludes that “U.S. efforts to counter the exploitation of information by rivals have been tepid and fragmented.” Although we agree with this statement, we note that Congress, and this committee in particular, has legislated in a manner that provides for the

synchronized, coordinated, wholeof-government approach required to effectively counter state and non-state actors’ activities in the information environment that threaten U.S. national security. Specifically, section 1287 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 statutorily established the GEC within the Department of State. Section 1287 authorizes the GEC, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense and heads of other relevant federal agencies and departments, to lead, synchronize, and coordinate the efforts of the federal government to recognize, understand, expose and counter foreign state and nonstate propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining U.S. national security interests. This authorization not only expanded the original scope and mission of the GEC to also counter state-sponsored propaganda, but it provided additional authority for DOD to transfer up to $60 million to support the GEC’s efforts. The 2018 NSS identifies priority actions, such as innovation and driving effective communications that the GEC is well-poised to lead as a result of this law. We are therefore

disappointed that to date your administration has not provided adequate resources, including funding and personnel, to the GEC to carry out its mission and, furthermore, that you have not yet appointed a director to lead the agency in this endeavor. Our nation must bolster efforts to counter exploitation of the information environment. We can no longer afford to assume the risk exploitation incurs to our citizens and our democratic institutions and values. We urge you to provide adequate authorities and resources to the GEC so that it, in conjunction with relevant agencies and departments, may begin work on a comprehensive strategy and conduct associated activities to carry out its roles and responsibilities to counter weaponization of information. Finally, we implore you to immediately appoint a director of the GEC to lead our nation’s effort against this threat. Thank you for your attention to this matter and we look forward to your response.

Students are again making a difference The March 24 March for Our Lives will be remembered most for the powerful voices and intensity of the students who marched and spoke out against great odds. They have begun a journey of activism that has the potential to permanently awaken a generation. For those young people committed to that journey, I would like to propose a next step in their self-education. Read Dr. Martin Luther King’s 1964 book, “Why We Can’t Wait.” The book is the history of the six-month struggle that led up to the March on Washington and Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. It includes the story of the major part played by brave young students who were the “foot soldiers” in that struggle. Although 1963 was the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, African-Americans in parts of the American South still

lived in a virtual terrorist state, enforced both legally and illegally. But a decade of events preceding the spring of 1963 had brought them a new sense of pride and determination, and a growing awareness by many American that things had to change. America would not have had a march on Washington or Dr. King’s speech without the successful “Birmingham campaign” in April 1963. Dr. King’s decision to tackle “Bombingham,” the city regarded as the most segregated and most violent in the deep South, was a strategic and risky gamble. And a key element of its success was the courage and discipline of thousands of high school and younger students who studied, trained and pledged themselves to nonviolent direct action. These brave students stood up against police, police dogs,

fire hoses, beatings and arrest to fill the jails of Birmingham to overflowing. Television brought this shocking struggle into the living rooms of America for the first time and virtually shamed Americans in front of the rest of the world. “Why We Can’t Wait” is an incredible firsthand narrative which nails down a turning point in history that paved the way for the many liberation movements that have followed. But it is also a primer on the power of nonviolent activism combined with the determination of courageous young people. That combination, God willing, may once again be moving this nation further toward the ultimate dream of America’s founders: “Justice for all.” Bravo.

OPINION

Voting with our wallets against toxic messages

W

e’ve reached a period of outrageous outrageousness. Or maybe extremes of extremism. I read recently about an advertisement by a beer company that seems overtly racist. Now, I’m not going to name the company because that might accomplish what it could have been attempting in the first place, which is to get its brand name in front of people. This company has caused quite a stir by linking the color of beer By Daniel Dunaief to its quality, which in turn is linked to race in the ad. What’s happening in the country? Have we reached the stage where all news is good news? We live in a world of such polarization, so many shrill messages and

D. None of the above

such a rapid news cycle that you almost have to be outrageous and ridiculous to get attention and to remain in the public’s eye for more than just a moment. It’s not an unprecedented phenomenon. Borrowing from the fictional world, poor Roxie Hart from the show “Chicago” is “the name on everyone’s lips,” as the song goes. But then, once the gripping trial ends, the newest crime of passion captivates the city’s attention, relegating Roxie to a less prominent place in the dramas of the Windy City. In our real world, which sometimes seems to require a reality check, people doubt everything. Why, just the other year, the current president questioned the national origin of the previous one. Doubt and cynicism are all by-products of a shrill time where people shout alternative facts from the rooftops. And to bring matters up to speed, current politicians are questioning the motives of the Parkland shooting survivors. Some suggest

that left-leaning people who want to take away everyone’s guns are manipulating America’s youth. These students are not too young to die, but are somehow considered too young to have formed such an energized national movement. Are people becoming more extreme with their time, with their emotions and with their donations? Yes, without a doubt. As the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates suggested, “desperate times call for desperate measures.” He was describing the response to life-threatening diseases and not to people who feel their lives are threatened leaving their homes. As Long Island native Billy Joel sang in 1989, “we didn’t start the fire.” While that’s true, and people have lived through periods of considerable instability and uncertainty, we are living in a time defined by extremes. At some point, We the People have to decide what we can accept and what we can’t. That beer advertisement seems to be a cheap ploy put together by a cynical advertising

executive, who has now pulled the ad after it may have served its purpose. Maybe this executive got his or her wish and more. Not only are people talking about it, but the company may also not have to pay as much for the ad, because now they’re not running it anymore. How do we combat such unacceptable messages and decide when a company has crossed the red line? One possible solution is to follow the example of the United States government. When other countries create intolerable situations for their citizens or our citizens or the world, we start by hitting these nations in their wallets and refuse to buy their products. Maybe a decline in sales at a company would send the kind of message that defeats the notion that all press is good press. Other cynical executives might get the message if the stock price or sales fell after such an advertisement polluted the company’s image. With our consumer decisions, we can send messages that it’s not OK to be offensive and outrageous just to sell another product or a toxic idea.

his year the real March Madness wasn’t basketball. It was the number of nor’easters we in the Northeast endured. This will forever be the year of the nor’easters, one right after the other with snowfalls, flooding and especially the high winds. Many old trees are no longer with us. As the first quarter of the new year ends, we are hopeful that the old adage, “March in like a By Leah S. Dunaief comes lion and goes out like a lamb,” will prove to be true. The forecasts are promising. We have some exciting plans for the community that we believe will further enliven the next quarter of the

year. On June 12, TBR News Media — that’s us — will offer a new event. It is called Cooks, Books & Corks, and it will be held at the Bates House in Setauket. For those who might not know the location, it is that lovely house inside Frank Melville Park, near the Mill Pond, usually used for wedding receptions, and it can be reached via a driveway opposite the Emma Clark Library and just past the two entrance roads to Strong’s Neck. We will have balloons and signage marking the way. So what is Cooks, Books & Corks? It is to be a grand marriage of mind and body on a joyful June Tuesday evening, from 6 to 9 p.m., that will combine good food from local restaurants with good books by local authors, all of which will go down easily with some good wine. We are encouraging the restauranteurs to bring tastings of their favorite dishes and the authors to offer their books for sale throughout the event. The views from the bluestone patio and the picture window are beautiful and serene in the middle

of the woods, and we will hope for a soft, summer breeze to erase all memories of past nor’easters. Besides being just plain fun and a forum for our local restaurants, local wineries and celebrated authors, Cooks, Books & Corks is a fundraiser intended to pay for an intern from the Stony Brook University School of Journalism this summer. We have held such fundraisers for that purpose in the past, and the internships have helped launch several young journalists into their careers. Tickets will be $50 per person for the food and wine, and although not tax deductible, all funds will go toward paying the intern. The cost of any books you might choose to buy will be up to you. We hope there will be irresistible books for children offered for sale as well as for us adults. Further, a ticket to Cooks, Books & Corks will enable the purchaser to have a reserved seat at the Stony Brook premiere of our film, “One Life to Give,” to be held on June 24, a

Sunday evening. The film is a prequel of sorts to the story of the Culper Spy Ring that played a vital role in the Revolutionary War. Headquartered in Setauket, Washington’s spies fed critical intelligence to the Patriots of such high value that, in one instance, information enabled French soldiers to disembark safely from their ships and join the fight in the colonies. The cable channel, AMC, ran popular stories of the spies, “Turn: Washington’s Spies,” for four seasons, which ended last year. Our full-length film, by contrast, endeavors to be historically authentic. More details about the premiere will be forthcoming. I do want to give you this heads-up for the coming enjoyable events we have planned for the community. We think they will make you proud of where you live. And why do we do this? That’s easy. We’re committed to strengthening the sense of community because we are the community paper. And website. And social media. And now producers of historical films. Happy Spring!
