Residents bring deer hunting safety concerns to town hall By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The aim of allowing deer hunting to control the population in Asharoken and Eaton’s Neck has not exactly hit the target for many Huntington residents. Members of the public expressed their continuing concerns over the policy enacted last year, which allowed bow hunting of deer in Eaton’s Neck during hunting season, during the March 21 town board meeting, and town officials assured them they understand many are not satisfied with the current law. “I know there has to be a better solution because I think the solution that’s in place now is causing a hardship for the taxpayers and the people that live here,” Cindy Gabel, an Eaton’s Neck resident, said. Gabel said she and friends have witnessed hunters assembling tree stands at night, a method to hunt deer, and she fears hunters are out when there is almost no visibility. “It’s really dark out there at night and they’re hunting out there at night — I am sure of it,” she said. “I think one of the troubles you have is there really isn’t anyone besides the residents — I am trying to do it myself — going out at night and seeing if illegal hunting is happening. There’s not someone patrolling the streets and the police that are patrolling can’t really do anything about it anyway. There’s an awful big burden on us, the residents, about the deer hunting and it’s not really solving the problem.” Gabel said whenever she calls the police about possible illegal hunting they

residents are scared of safety problems rising from deer hunting. instruct her to call the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and those officers are allowed to deal with any illegal hunters. But Gabel said it usually takes the DEC officers more than a half hour to get to the scene, leaving the chance of catching hunters slim. Gabel was not alone in her fear night hunting could lead to dangerous situations. “My fear too is that after 60 years on Locust Lane a stray arrow may mistake me or you for its quiver, so I ask you to deliver us from men in tree stands, from those deer

slayers in tree stands,” Charlotte Koons, an Eaton’s Neck resident, said at the meeting. Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) assured the residents the town is listening. “We’re looking at many, many different things because we are all concerned with the hunting,” Petrone said at the meeting. “We are looking at this very seriously because we know there’s a problem and we know that there are other problems as a result of this happening. So we share your concern, and the hunting situation that exists does not seem to solve the problem.”

The main problem the bow hunting for deer was intended to solve was the overpopulation in areas like Asharoken and Eaton’s Neck. Residents attended multiple town hall meetings last year citing their fear of deer causing car accidents and spreading Lyme disease as tick carriers. But some community members feel this solution was not the right way to go. “This is going to be the worst tick season we’ve had … the deer yes they carry ticks — so do we and so do white mice,” Gabel said. “We could kill all the deer in Eatons Neck, we’re still going to have the problem of the ticks and the Lyme disease so what do we do then? If someone gets killed in the process what have we all accomplished here?” Councilwoman Tracey Edwards (D) said she and Asharoken officials intend to work together to try and find a new solution. “Mayor [Greg] Letica is committed to working with us and the town attorney to see where we could have some common ground and also bring a proposal for you [Petrone] to review and consider for an amendment that would care for some of the issues and safety concerns,” she said. At a March village board meeting Letica confirmed he spoke with Edwards about a possible change to the law. “I had a phone conversation with Huntington Councilwoman Tracey Edwards about the status of the draft law to amend the existing town deer ordinance,” he said at the meeting, “Councilwoman Edwards informed me that once a draft is complete she will share it with the village.”

A look at what Trump’s budget draft could mean for LI Millions in cuts to federal programs North Shore residents use, senior and educational services By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com President Donald Trump (R) presented his blueprint for the 2017-18 federal budget and if passed by Congress as it stands, it spells out cuts to programs on which North Shore residents depend. The draft includes more than $54 billion in cuts to federal programs and departments, with the biggest cuts to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. State, Labor and Agriculture departments. State officials on both sides of the aisle were quick to condemn cuts to the U.S. Department of Energy, to the tune of $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent less than last year’s funding, that could impact Brookhaven National Laboratory. BNL was established by the DOE in 1947 and has housed the work of seven Nobel Prize winners. The lab hosts public tours and special programs, as well as school science fairs and robotic competitions, also scientific lectures for community residents. Trump’s budget blueprint intends to cut $900 million in funding to the DOE’s Office of Science, under which BNL receives its funding among other national labs. U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) held a press conference on the front steps of the Brookhaven lab in Upton March 17, calling the proposed cuts a blow to the community since the lab supplies jobs for as many as 3,000 Long Islanders. Schumer said in recent years BNL has received an annual $537.3 million in federal funds from the Office of Science budget, about $5 million in federal funds from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and about $3 million from the Nuclear Energy Office. “This major Department of Energy budget cut is a cut to our future, a cut to our knowledge, a cut to our research and a cut to good-paying Long Island jobs,” he said. “Brookhaven National Lab is home to some of the world’s brightest minds and most cutting-edge innovations, which both advance human knowledge and spur our economy. ... These kinds of cuts not only hurt us today but

‘This ... budget cut is a cut to our future, a cut to our knowledge, a cut to our research and a cut to good-paying Long Island jobs.’ — Sen. Chuck Schumer they hurt the future jobs and the companies of tomorrow who would otherwise plant their roots on Long Island.” Schumer was not the only member of Congress from the area to speak out about the president’s cuts. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (RShirley) has voiced his concerns while also assuring constituents there are many parts of Trump’s budget that are beneficial to the United States. “I strongly oppose the proposed cuts to Brookhaven National Lab, SUNY Stony Brook and other sources of scientific research in the 1st Congressional District,” he said in a statement. “Throughout the years, we have seen some of the world’s greatest science research conducted at these facilities.” Zeldin made sure to reiterate Trump’s blueprint is a draft with nothing set in stone. “Regardless of who is in the White House, the Constitution puts government funding strictly under Congress to initiate through the appropriations process,” he said. “The president’s budget request is just that — a request. It has no force of law or legislation.” The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s budget could also see a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent reduction, which means grants for certain local programs could be ended including the popular Meals on Wheels program that has branches in Three Village and Smithtown. Meals on Wheels is a national program providing meals to senior citizens who cannot leave their homes to shop on their own. Chapters in different states rely on funding from the Community

Development Block Grant program through the H.U.D. In Trump’s budget blueprint he proposes eliminating the program, cutting $3 billion to community service organizations such as Meals on Wheels, among others. Although the Three Village Meals on Wheels is not in jeopardy, as all of its funding comes from community donations, Susan Hovani, president of the Three Village branch, said it would be a shame for other communities to lose funding — like Smithtown Meals on Wheels, which relies on federal funding to operate. “These programs are very necessary,” she said in a phone interview. “It’s sad to see [federal funding] could be cut, and I think it would be much better to cut from other places.” Another heap of programs on the chopping block are those funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s budget. Compared to

last year’s budget, the department’s funding would decrease by $9 billion, or 13 percent. Trump’s blueprint proposes completely eliminating the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before and after-school programs as well as summer programs. “The Trump administration’s call for zero funding for the 21st CCLC after-school initiative is a betrayal of the millions of students and parents who depend on after-school and summer-learning programs,” Afterschool Alliance Executive Director Jodi Grant said in a statement. Afterschool Alliance is one of the afterschool initiatives from the 21st CCLC that is responsible for many New York students after-school hours. “It is painfully shortsighted and makes a mockery of the president’s promise to make our country safer and to support inner cities and rural communities alike,” she added. Grant said after-school programs enable many parents to work and cutting these programs could jeopardize their ability to hold a job, as well as create a safe space for kids when they have nowhere else to go or no other positive activities to turn to. The president said the budget proposal is meant to advance the safety and security of the American people. “Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demands of our citizens — a government that puts the needs of its own people first,” he said in the blueprint. “When we do that, we will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter of American greatness.” Trump said the proposed cuts are crucial to streamlining government spending and operations. “These cuts are sensible and rational,” he said. “Every agency and department will be driven to achieve greater efficiency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people.”

Changes in federal health care law will impact North Shore residents By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com Republicans in Congress have vowed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare, since its inception in 2010, and after much adieu, a bill has finally been introduced to take its place. The American Health Care Act has been met with opposition from both parties, while elected officials and hospital administrators weighed in on what the changes might mean for North Shore residents. The most notable changes in the new health care plan compared to the existing one include an elimination of the individual mandate, which required all Americans to purchase health insurance or be subject to a fine — a sticking point for many Republicans on Obamacare; a cut of federal Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood for one year; adjusting tax credits based on age instead of income; and shifting Medicaid expansion set forth by Obamacare to the discretion of states instead of the federal government, among many others. The Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization established to deliver health policy analysis to the public, has created an interactive map on its website to illustrate the estimated changes in premiums paid and tax credits for several demographics from the ACA to the AHCA. Tax credits, or the amount a taxpayer can offset what is owed in federal income tax, are a component of both the current health care law and the proposed replacement, though their implementation is very different. According to the map estimates, a 27-year-old living in Suffolk County making $30,000 per year would receive about 50 percent less in tax credits in 2020 if the new bill became law. A 27-year-old making $40,000 per year would see the tax credit slashed by only 14 percent, but a $10,000 raise would net that same 27-year-old an approximate additional 52 percent in tax credits under the AHCA

Suozzi’s office did not respond to a request for comment. Kevin Dahill, president and CEO of Suburban Hospital Alliance, an organization that represents the advocacy interests of Long Island health systems including St. Catherine of Siena in Smithtown and St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, issued a statement regarding the House bill March 13. “The House bill neither truly repeals nor meaningfully replaces the Affordable Care Act,” Dahill said. “This is bad news for New York. … We cannot support this legislation in its current form.” Chief Medical Officer at Huntington Hospital Michael Grosso said in an email his facility will continue to hold itself to the highest standards regardless of the federal health care law. “That said, we must bear in mind as an informed citizenry that when effective, preventive health care is delayed or denied, society pays the price several times over,” Grosso said.

Zeldin calls for Long Island Sound, Estuary Program funding

Congressman wants full funding of two programs, at least $36.5 million combined By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com The quality of Long Island waters has been on the mind of elected officials from all levels of government recently, and a representative from the federal government has joined the fray, calling for more funding for two Environmental Protection Agency programs. “There’s much we can do to improve water quality in the Long Island Sound and National Estuary, and I’ll continue working in Congress to ensure our waterways are preserved for generations to come,” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said during a press conference March 13. Southold Town Council members and residents from the 1st Congressional District gathered at Veterans Memorial Park in Mattituck as Zeldin called on the federal government to fully fund at least $10 million to the Long Island Sound Study and $26.5 million to the National Estuary Program in its upcoming appropriations process at the end of April, and also to support the passage of the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act. He said funding for the two EPA programs is essential to address urgent and challenging issues that threaten the ecological and economic well-being of Long Island’s coastal areas, such as nitrogen, harmful algae blooms and flooding or wetland loss. “Over the years, water quality around Long Island has suffered from pollution, overdevelopment and other negative impacts ... and I’m calling on my colleagues to make sure these programs are fully supported and funded, and certainly not eliminated,” Zeldin said, highlighting the significant impacts each of the programs have had on the region. The Long Island Sound is one of our natural treasures, the congressman said, and is a precious feature of the life, culture and economy of more than 9 million people living in the coastal communities around it. He voiced his admiration of the Long Island Sound Study for its dedication to water quality and wetlands restoration in addition to local conservation projects to restore beaches and protect wildlife.

‘I’m calling on my colleagues to make sure these programs are fully supported and funded, and certainly not eliminated.’

Above, Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai, which is on the Long island Sound. Below, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin speaks to locals while calling for federal funding for the Long island Sound and Peconic estuary during a press conference March 13. He called the National Estuary Program “an important EPA wetlands protection program for 28 estuaries in the U.S.,” two of which being the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. The program was established by the Clean Water Act in 1987 to provide grants to states where nationally significant estuaries are threatened. Zeldin said he will continue to work alongside Democrats and Republicans in the region to secure the funding as he did to stop President Barack Obama’s (D) proposed 22 percent cut to the Long Island Sound in 2016. The Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act, he said, was introduced at the last Congress by himself and former 3rd District U.S. Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) and will propose tens-of-millions of dollars in funding per year through 2020 for a water quality and shore restoration program. Zeldin plans to reintroduce the bill during this congressional session. Setauket Harbor Task Force Trustee George Hoffman voiced support for Zeldin and his call for funding to protect local waters. “With Congressman Zeldin’s strong advocacy and leadership, the Long Island Sound Study, a consortium of federal, state and environmental organizations has turned the corner on cleaning up the water in LI Sound and its harbors and bays,” he said. “Federal funding is critical to survival of this important and productive estuary.” Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell spoke briefly in response to Zeldin’s longtime presence in the area. “The people of the East End and people of the first [district] have made it clear time and time again that the environment is a top priority and the congressman has been a zealous advocate on behalf of us, on behalf of the environment, and on be-

half of our natural resources,” Russell said. “Time and time again, he’s disproved the myth that Republicans aren’t friends of the environment ... Republicans are and he is.” Councilman Bob Ghosio took to the podium to speak about the importance of the proposed funding. “Talking about nitrogen in the bays and creeks and knowing the Long Island Sound and estuaries [here], particularly in Southold are what drives our economy, our tourism, our jobs and our recreation, just tells me how important this is,” Ghosio said. “Getting the funds to keep this area healthy for the future — for my kids, my grandkids and generations thereafter is

very important to us.” When asked by a resident what he thinks of some of his Republican colleagues advancing toward eliminating EPA entirely, Zeldin reminded those in attendance he voted against a 17 percent cut to the EPA last year. “There are 535 members of Congress, all with very different ideologies and backgrounds and you get a whole lot of diversity on these issues and so I have a lot of colleagues who would support completely eliminating the EPA altogether,” Zeldin said. “But again, I voted against the 17 percent cut so to ask me how I feel about a 100 percent cut, there’s some precedent in it.”

northport students participate in St. Baldrick’s Day events.

Northport students are saving lives one shave at a time Students, family members, administrators and faculty members in the NorthportEast Northport School District gathered at William J. Brosnan School for St. Baldrick’s Day on March 10 in the fight to end childhood cancer. The school community created teams in which individuals raised money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, an organization the district has supported for the past nine years. The teams came out to the event to get their heads shaved in honor of those who have battled cancer or are currently

fighting the deadly disease. Through online donations alone, the district raised more than $75,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation this year. St. Baldrick’s Foundation organizer John McKenna and Superintendent of Schools Robert Banzer were grateful for the turnout and support from the school community. “I want to thank this community, who have been unbelievable at helping others weather the storm,” Banzer said. “I want to extend a thanks to those who are donating their time today, donating their hair and do-

nating money for such an admirable cause.” Local barbershops and salons volunteered their time and skills to shave heads. Banzer and eight-year-old Northport-East Northport cancer survivor Christian Sloan cut the green ribbon to kick off the event. Sloan overcame anaplastic ependymoma, also known as a brain tumor, and helped shave volunteers’ heads during the event. One by one, team members of all ages sat in chairs on the auditorium stage and had their heads shaved for the cause, while the Northport Pipe and Drums entertained

the crowd with their bagpipe performance. Attendees were also welcomed into the gymnasium for the opportunity to support the foundation by purchasing food and St. Baldrick’s apparel and participating in raffles, balloon animals, a silent art auction and face painting by Illuminated Faces. In addition, Norwood Avenue Elementary School Girl Scouts sold Girl Scout cookies in the lobby, with a percentage of the cookie purchases going towards the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. — Michael Ganci

Don’t sit out of the health care discussion President Donald Trump (R) is making the rounds in an effort to sell the American Health Care Act to fellow Republican leaders to ensure the bill eventually gets signed into law. Millions of Americans have been waiting with bated breath for a new health care plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. Once Majority House Speaker Paul Ryan (R) finally unveiled the AHCA last month, analysis and reports on the effects of the plan have been coming from every direction, some positive and some negative. This week our editorial staff focused on comparing tax credits residents would receive in the near future under both Obamacare and AHCA. Tax credits are an amount a taxpayer can reduce in federal income tax they owe. It’s clear when comparing this information that many citizens stand to lose a substantial amount in tax credits compared to what they had with Obamacare, if the proposed bill becomes a law, though other residents would stand to gain more money back. We encourage our readers to check out informational websites like the Kaiser Family Foundation, which has created a map to help show residents how much in tax credits they would lose or gain depending on their age and income if AHCA is passed in Congress, as well as read a deep analysis of the proposed bill, and how it would affect people across the U.S. With something as important as health care, it’s vital to understand what might change with your coverage before Congress votes. The House is scheduled to vote on the AHCA today, March 23.

1st Congressional District needs a real environmentalist It’s encouraging to see the growing swell of current and former Republican politicians who have publicly addressed the realities of climate change, the human influence and the need to move forward with plans to reduce the carbon footprint and make serious commitments to alternative energy sources. Last month, a group of former Republican statesmen formally offered a proposal recommending a carbon tax to White House officials. While these conservatives at the same time support deregulation of the fossil fuel industry, at least they recognize we have a real health problem now and in the future. This past week, a group of 17 Republicans signed a U.S. House resolution to fight climate change. This is big. While the group of 17 includes some who tend to vote in an “environmentally friendly” way, it also includes others who have not done so in the past but who are willing to go on record now and voice the need to take action on the climate crisis.

Here in the 1st Congressional District, we’ve heard no real concern. While our representative in Washington, Lee Zeldin, touts his concern for our environment, his concerns are narrowly limited to fishing rights, the cleanliness of Long Island Sound and preserving Plum Island. Not to minimize these issues, but there is a bigger elephant in the room. Climate change is already destroying marine life, adding toxins to the waters, putting land under water, destroying ecosystems, compromising our agriculture, poisoning our air and much more. For the year 2016, the League of Conservation Voters reports that Zeldin voted favorably for the environment merely 8 percent of the time. In the current Congress there have been House votes on eight significant bills related to the environment. Zeldin has voted against the environment in every case. At least he’s stated his opposition to completely eliminating the EPA. But he’s voiced no opposition to the White House’s overall

budget-slashing proposal, and we can’t count on him to protect our environmental future. We will choke on his deregulation of environmental laws. Zeldin is a member of the Climate Solutions Caucus in the House of Representatives, a bipartisan group exploring policy options related to the impact of climate change. Sounds good for a moment. There are 13 Republicans in this caucus. Eleven of those Republicans were signatories to the aforementioned House Resolution, signed by those 17 Republican House members. Of the two caucus members not signing on, one of them is Lee Zeldin. Where ARE you, Lee Zeldin? Many if not all individuals in the 1st Congressional District want to breathe clean air, drink clean water, maintain our ecosystems and know that future generations will have a healthy planet with sufficient energy. We need a real environmentalist to help us get there.

OpiniOn Making March Madness fame count

ong ago, I wrote a column about vomit and education. No, I didn’t suggest that teachers should encourage vomiting or that education gets better amid the smell of vomit. Sorry to those of you who are gagging even at these words. No, for those without an encyclopedic knowledge of my columns — OK, all of you — I wrote that my son, who was only 5 at the time, often came home with exactly the same answer to the question about what happened in school: “Nothing.” Then, one day, a classmate was in the middle of saying By Daniel Dunaief something when she vomited. Suddenly, my son became the bard of vomit, describing in technicolor detail

D. None of the above

everything that poured out of his classmate’s mouth. It didn’t stop there. He recounted each of the steps the teacher took to clean it up and resettle the room and then, to my shock, he shared a few things about the next lessons she tried to teach. While I’m not suggesting the value of vomit in the classroom, I did recognize something unusual that occurs during these high-energy moments: People pay more attention. What triggered — bad word choice here, I know — my thinking about this observation is March Madness. The NCAA basketball tournament has 64 teams entering this bracket, all of whom have fans, family and friends hoping their journey can go just one more game all the way to the championship. Now, these games can be — and often are — ridiculously exciting, with young players pushing themselves to the limits of their speed, endurance and coordination to make impossible game-winning shots that carry their fans to the next level of ecstasy. The winners stand in front of a microphone at the end of the game

and recount what we’ve just witnessed, taking us through the moment when they got the ball at the top of the key, faked left, passed it to a teammate, and then crashed the boards just in time to grab the rebound and slam home the game-winner. We know what we saw and rarely, if ever, do these interviews produce much more than, “Yeah, it was great,” or “I’m so excited, I just don’t have words for this.” So, this is where the vomit analogy comes in. Some of these players likely contribute to causes, believe in community service, have something to say about what they’ve overcome, can share the best advice they’ve ever gotten or remember a moment that still matters. I realize it’s asking a lot of the reporters and the athletic superstar whose primary concern may be going to the bathroom, getting his uniform clean for the next game or getting to the bus on time to go to the airport. Still, these moments, with the players, coaches and even fans could include some kind of life lesson. Players

don’t need to preach, nor do they have to demand that we participate in their favorite charity. However, they can use the spotlight to inspire and encourage us with their incredible achievements off the field, their commitments to family or their contributions to a church group. Now, I realize Olympic coverage often includes features about people who are dedicating their efforts to a relative or who volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters. And, I appreciate how sports purists may find the effort an intrusion in the cliché-riddled wide world of sports, where the players are just happy to help the team and they take everything one game at a time and they try not to do too much. But some day, that athlete will no longer have the microphone and some day, the world will no longer be watching. While we’re inspired and moved by their magnificence on the court, how about if, to the extent possible, they also encourage us to follow their lead in other arenas. An energized audience may see this as a chance to turn a good game into a great achievement.

Getting passionate with politics

hether you voted for Donald Trump or not, you have to agree that he is responsible for a positive outcome from his campaign and his election. He has animated the population he serves. It is no secret that Americans have, as a country, been largely apolitical. When I have traveled to other countries, especially when I first began, I have consistently been impressed by and even envied how much politics and current events were a part of the By Leah S. Dunaief daily conversations among the people I was visiting. But that was not so in the United States. Throughout my academic life, in high school and college, there were almost no political clubs, and those that did exist had few members who

Between you and me

were regarded as a little odd for their political passions. I have not found many people who were deeply interested in our government, its processes, its politics and its politicians. Indeed, spot person-in-the-street interviews regularly revealed that most respondents did not know who held which office beyond that of the president and perhaps the governor. Not any longer. Imagine my surprise when the 4-year-old son of a friend came home from nursery school and announced his opinion of President Trump, complete with reasons. A 13-year-old I met knows the name of the Environmental Protection Agency chief (Scott Pruitt), and a 15-year-old announced that she wants to register as a Republican as soon as her age allows so she can help decide who the party’s next candidate might be. These are not just youngsters parroting what their parents are saying. In some cases the youngsters disagree with their parents. How do they know to do that? They are now surrounded by news, whether on television, with blasts on their iPhones,

from talking to each other in class or hearing many adults offering different opinions. Wherever all of us go, to a doctor’s appointment, to a casual restaurant, in and out of stores (with the exception so far of supermarkets), there is a television turned on and we hear the latest comments from both parties, outrageous or not. The media are having a field day reporting quotables. And the public is deluged. Kids, remember, are part of the public. How long can you be at a dinner party before the talk turns to politics? When you wake up in the morning and switch on the radio or the TV, don’t you expect to hear the latest quote from Donald Trump? The president has managed to dominate world news so provocatively that his is the most well-known name on the planet. I think what has happened is a good thing. An informed and engaged public is necessary for a democracy to exist. Our Founding Fathers said as much. The United States has had a dismal voting record at the polls during election season for scores of years. Less than half of those eligible

actually vote here compared with other, newer democracies where voters may risk their lives in order to cast their votes. We, living in a nation that is the symbol of democracy, are too complacent to be bothered voting or too cynical to think that our vote might matter. So I am delighted to see young people talking about politics and asking how government works. And we in the news business are validated by the sight of grown-ups arguing government policies on street corners. Let’s get everybody involved, even if it takes incredible, unprecedented comments and actions to stir us up. I came of age in the Vietnam era when marches and, yes, riots in opposition to government policy toppled a sitting president and eventually stopped the war. The good news is we don’t have to riot. We don’t even have to march. All we have to do is go to the polls and vote. And if we don’t get what We the People want, we do it again the next time until we get the public servants we wish to represent us. An informed and engaged populace is a beautiful thing.

SportS Huntington hoops garners end-of-season honors The Huntington boys’ basketball team strived to maintain collective optimism despite finding the starting lineup shorthanded at times this past winter. But a series of close losses stung and stopped whatever momentum the Blue Devils were building. Despite missing the playoffs, Huntington featured standout individual performers. Kevin Lawrence was named to the All-League and All-Conference teams, Taqwan Gooden-Hill also earned All-League honors, and James Shea was picked for the All-Academic team. Captained by Lawrence and Shea, the 12-player squad, which finished 5-15 overall with a 4-10 mark in League III play, was coached by Brian Carey and Frank Mantesta. Huntington dropped one-point league games to Newfield and West Islip and lost by three points to league foe Centereach. Had the Blue Devils won those three games, the team would have gained a postseason berth. “Despite our record, we continued to compete as a team,” Carey said. “The chemistry of this team was good. With only one starter returning from last season, the competitive learning curve was good.” Lawrence averaged 18.3 points and nine rebounds per game from his forward position. He connected for 30 three-point baskets. “Kevin is a team leader, top scorer, rebounder and most outstanding player,” Carey said. “He played 15 of 20 games with a broken finger in a splint and gave us terrific effort.”

Gooden-Hill averaged 11.2 points and hit 40 three-pointers at forward. “He went from 6.2 points in the first round of league games to 17.8 in the second round,” Carey said. “His three-point shooting improved remarkably.” Junior Mike Abbondandelo starred at point

Wrestling through obstacles East Northport Middle School seventhgraders received an inspiring lesson in overcoming life’s obstacles with motivational speaker Rohan Murphy. Sponsored by the school’s PTA, Murphy, who was born with deformed legs, spoke to students about his positive outlook on life and his successful wrestling career in high school and at Penn State University. The school’s eighth grade wrestling team also attended the special event and Murphy invited two members up on stage to help him demonstrate how he would wrestle in school. He encouraged students to over-

come their hardships and never listen to anyone who says they can’t do something. Through Murphy’s personal life story, he spoke about how he pushed himself to always do better and had goals that he wanted to accomplish for himself. This included graduating from a prestigious college where he could live independently and make the Penn State University wrestling team, both of which he achieved. “Outline your life in pencil, not pen,” he said. “Don’t you ever be afraid to fail.” After the presentation, students had the opportunity to ask questions.

guard, averaging 6.7 points, 7.6 assists and shooting 72 percent from the free-throw line. “Mike handled the ball consistently throughout the season,” the head coach said. “He fought through a two-week bout of bronchitis in midseason. He’s next year’s team leader.”

Huntington averaged 52 points per game, but it surrendered 57.2. “This was a team capable of winning two quarters within a game, looking good and losing the game [after],” Carey said. “Lacking consistency for extended time periods.” —Huntington AtHletics DepArtment

Freshman Flores to lead Huntington tennis team The Huntington boys’ tennis team is returning eight veteran players from last spring’s squad that compiled a 9-8 overall mark and finished fourth in Suffolk League I. Longtime Blue Devils head coach Jamie Fishlow has been putting the squad through workouts, with most of them being held indoors, because of the recent weather conditions. The returnees include Jack Flores, Cody Bograd, Nick Newell, Stefan Breskin, Michael Russak, Kyle Chin, Max Gordon, Noah Helburn, Reid Bellistri and Jacob Strieb. Flores garnered All-State honors last year as an eighth-grader. Newell and Bograd were both All-League. Huntington won its first seven matches last year. The Blue Devils dropped four matches with close 4-3 scores. Flores compiled a 17-7 mark in No. 1 singles play. Bograd went 7-1 in No. 1 and No. 2 doubles and Breskin was 5-4 in No. 2 and No. 3 singles. Newell finished with a 6-8 mark in No. 1 doubles. Huntington reached the quarterfinals of the county tournament for the third consecutive season last spring before losing a 4-3 heartbreaker to No. 2-seeded Commack. Huntington has non-league matches scheduled against Hauppauge, Walt Whitman, Ward Melville, Ross and Bay Shore. Home and away league contests will be against Commack, Half Hollow Hills East, Half Hollow Hills West, Harborfields and Smithtown West.
