Commack High School Peace of Mind adds to its leadership By Joseph Wolkin

A new administrator will be walking the halls of Commack High School next week. Michael Larson was appointed assistant principal of Commack High School this week, after working at the school since 2007. Larson said he has been set on being an educator since he graduated high school. Growing up, Larson wasn’t sure what he wanted to do in life. Over time, his love for American history developed into a greater passion for social studies, and eventually it led to him wanting to share his knowledge with others. Working through the rankings at Commack High School since 2007, Larson went from serving as a secondary social studies teacher, to teaching history, economics and government to being named the school’s newest assistant principal. Effective Aug. 15, Larson took over the position previously held by Commack High School’s newest principal, Leslie Boritz. “I’m honored and humbled and honored to serve Commack in this capacity,” Larson said in an interview. “One of the things I’ve learned about working in this district for the past few years is that the leaders work very closely together.” Last year, Larson was promoted to coordinator of student affairs, a position he says helped develop his friendship with Boritz. The job consisted of overseeing discipline and attendance, working with students who have conduct or attendance issues, along with any potential problems with student life at the high school. No longer in the classroom when he was given the new role, Larson admittedly missed developing relationships with kids, which he worked with for 180 days out of the year. However, he said he was able to find a way to still connect with Commack students, even if he was no longer in the classroom with them. “Having those experiences last year really helped advance my development as an administrator,” Larson said. “The fact that I’m now working as an assistant principal with some of the people who played an instrumental role in my development is truly a blessing.” The Stony Brook native attended Stony Brook University for his undergraduate degree in 2004, and received a graduate degree from Plymouth State University in special education in 2006. Superintendent Donald James said Larson will do great things for Commack. “Michael is a dynamic educator, who is compassionate and committed to our students,” he said in an email. “His experience working one-on-one as both a class and student council advisor and as coordinator of student affairs and attendance has provided insight into the culture and views of our children at the high school. Michael’s commitment to the students, their parents and his fellow staff members is evident in his many accomplishments at Commack High.” The decision to make Larson the

school’s newest assistant principal, along with naming Boritz as the principal, was part of a ripple effect caused by the retirement news of Commack’s last principal, Catherine Nolan. In June, Boritz was named as the school’s new principal, replacing Nolan, who retired after holding the position for the last five years. She was the assistant principal at the school since July 2011, in addition to serving as the assistant principal of Commack Middle School for 11 years. According to U.S. News and World Report, Commack High School is ranked as the 87th best high school in New York out of over 1,200 listed. Larson lives in Stony Brook and will continue making the approximately 20-minute commute daily to the school that has given him the opportunity to advance in the education world. For that, he said he is indeed thankful. “The priority for me this year is the continuation of the excellence that has come to represent the Commack School District,” he said. “I want to make efforts to continue an excellent program that’s great in athletics, academics, extracurricular and co-curricular, and expand on the opportunities we’re presenting our students and enhance them as we move forward.”

Suffolk County Police Second Squad detectives are investigating a single-vehicle crash that critically injured a man in Fort Salonga Friday morning, Aug. 18. Samuel Luby, a Northport resident, was driving a 2016 Dodge pickup west on Fort Salonga Road at 7:55 a.m. when he lost control of his vehicle and struck a tree just west of Makamah Road. The Northport Fire Department responded to the scene and said upon arrival they found Luby pinned in the vehicle by the dashboard and steering wheel. Under the command of Chief of Department Brad Wine, EMS personnel immedi-

ately initiated life-saving measures while firefighters joined by two Suffolk County Emergency Service police officers began the rescue effort. Utilizing multiple extrication tools, the truck was cut apart to allow access to the driver. With the process complete, EMS personnel stabilized the driver to prevent further injury by movement. Luby was moved to an awaiting Northport Fire Department ambulance and then airlifted via Suffolk County Police helicopter in critical condition to Stony Brook University Hospital. The vehicle was impounded for a safety check and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this crash is asked to call the Second Squad at 631-854-8252.

Gun control group targets North Shore congressman By VictoriA ESpinozA victoria@tbrnewspapers.com An anti-gun advocacy group put a North Shore lawmaker in its crosshairs over the weekend when members protested outside his office. Gays Against Guns — a nonprofit organization made up of lesbian, gay and transgender people and others who believe in a ban of high-capacity magazine guns and assault weapons, stricter background checks and online gun sales — held a protest in Smithtown over the weekend. The group said they chose to rally in front of the office of U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) because they believe he is a “puppet” for the NRA and hasn’t worked enough to create legislation that effectively limits the use of guns. Zeldin said protestors are not focusing on the real issue, which is preventing terrorists from getting firearms without limiting Americans’ constitutional rights. Duncan Osborne, a member of Gays Against Guns, said he believes Zeldin doesn’t have an interest in regulating firearms. He also criticized Zeldin’s Protect America Act of 2015. The bill would grant the attorney general authority to deny firearms and explosives to individuals who are engaged in terrorist activities or where there is a reasonable belief that an individual may use a firearm or explosive in connection with terrorism. “His piece of legislation is little more than a Band-Aid,” Osborne said in a phone interview. “He has made no serious effort to get it passed. His bill was a joke to make Republicans look like they’re doing something on gun regulation when in fact it is

Lee zeldin during a protest. nearly impossible to implement.” Zeldin said the issue is being influenced by politics. “It’s unfortunate that the Democratic Party and their most loyal supporters are politicizing this issue and [the] bill to keep

firearms and explosives out of the hands of terrorists,” he said in an email, according to spokesperson Jennifer DiSiena. When Zeldin first introduced the bill last year, he said the legislation would “help prevent terrorists from purchasing

firearms or explosives, while putting in place safeguards to ensure that the rights of law abiding Americans are protected.” According to Congress’ website, the bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee in Dec. 2015, and then referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations in Jan. 2016. The bill currently has 14 Republican co-sponsors. Gays Against Guns also criticized Zeldin’s connections to the NRA, calling him a puppet for the organization, and the NRA his puppet master. “We don’t think he belongs in Congress,” Osborne said. “He has no interest in regulating firearms.” New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, another nonprofit organization that participated in the protest, agreed Zeldin should leave office. “They’ve got to go if we’re ever going to pass the kind of meaningful gun regulation,” Executive Director of NYAGV Leah Gunn Barrett said in a statement. DiSiena said Zeldin is fighting to support and protect his constituents. “His positions are not for sale to anyone,” DiSiena said in an email. “If these disrupters want to actually keep Americans safe, they would work with Congressman Zeldin as opposed to launching highly partisan protests against him. These groups should unite behind Congressman Zeldin’s efforts if their genuine intentions are to keep terrorists from being able to purchase firearms.” According to GovTrack, Zeldin was among the highest 10 percent of House Republicans joining bipartisan bills in 2015 and supporting progressive ideology.

She said when he got the offer to work for Cuomo’s office, he saw it as an opportunity to be a clear advocate for the Smithtown community. “He understood that this job was more than sitting behind a desk,” Knox said. The Northport resident was named one of the winners of the 30 Under 30 Young Professionals award by the Huntington Chamber of Commerce in 2012. In an Instagram post, the chamber said he was a “dedicated leader in various roles.” Martella was driving a 2014 Honda with his fiancée Shelbi Thurau, 29, another Northport resident, when they were hit by a gray Subaru Outback while traveling west on the LIE toward Exit 68 at about 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 21. Carmelo Pinales, the driver of the Subaru, lost control of the vehicle, which crossed over the grassy median, went airborne and struck two vehicles, according to police. He was driving with Winnifer Garcia, 21, of Hempstead, his sister Patricia Pinales, his 10-year-old son Christopher Pinales and his sister’s 3-year-old daughter. Aside from Martella’s car, Pinales also hit a BMW. Inside, were driver Marvin Tenzer, 73, and his three passengers, Sandra Tenzer, 69; Helen Adelson, 69; and Isidore Adelson, 81. Pinales was pronounced dead at the

Thurau, Garcia and the Tenzers were transported to local hospitals and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Christopher was pronounced dead at

Stony Brook University Hospital after succumbing to his injuries later that day, police said, as well as Adelson. His wife Helen Adelson was pronounced dead on Monday at Stony Brook University Hospital.

Imagine living with your family for four years and then be left behind when they move away. “Paisleyâ€? is a beautiful torti who longs to be loved. She reaches her paw between the bars of her kennel to touch the people who pass her by. Can you be the one who stops?

Hi, my name is Liberty and I lived at the Smithtown Animal Shelter for over a year. They tell me I’m 3 years old. They don’t know where I came from and it’s been so long I can’t remember. I’d love to have my own mommy and daddy. A family to teach me tricks and to play with me..to love me. I want a home of my own. Just me and my mommy and daddy. Isn’t there a family out there for me? See all our pets at www.smithtownanimalshelter.petfinder.org

Letter to the editor

A closer look at the US Constitution

File photo

A professor and student at Stony Brook University School of Medicine look at a medical scan.

A powerful partnership Two major power players in the field of medical help and research have come together to form a new partnership. Stony Brook University School of Medicine and Mount Sinai Health System, of New York City, have joined together to create more academic research opportunities to streamline and expand clinical care initiatives. While they are not the first school of medicine to connect with a health system on Long Island — Hofstra University’s School of Medicine works with Northwell Health — this certainly means new breakthroughs are on the horizon in Suffolk County. Dr. Kenneth Kaushansky, senior vice president for Health Sciences at Stony Brook University said that each institution will be bringing its biggest strengths to the table, thus making each other stronger. Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine has strong biomedical, clinical research and health policy expertise, while Stony Brook University boasts programs with advanced mathematics, high-performance computing, and physical and chemical science departments. Combining math and science programs together will help students become well rounded, and open up the possibility for new programs. A press release said Stony Brook students will also be able to gain experience in areas of medicine that the university doesn’t currently offer, like observing and learning from heart transplants and other pilot programs. And students from either institution are now welcome to take classes at the other. But this liaison is going beyond students. Kaushansky said this partnership will improve patient care at both Stony Brook University Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital by allowing patients to easily seek services from either hospital. This is a great endeavor that should be encouraged and supported by the community. Not only does this teaming help students get a more in-depth education and give professors more opportunities for expanded lessons, it will in turn help the residents of the North Shore by improving the care that the local hospital can offer through the new discoveries and breakthroughs the new partnership will make.

We may never know whether Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump meant to incite violence against a duly elected U.S. president with his comment about the “Second Amendment people.” However, his statement during the same rally, where he warned the audience that if Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton were to become president she would appoint liberal Supreme Court justices who would “gut” the Second Amendment and take “your guns away” again, shows that he has no idea how our government works. Hillary Clinton could appoint very liberal justices, and it would have no effect on the Second Amendment, or any amendment for that matter, for two reasons. First, any nominee to the Supreme Court must be approved by the Senate. I guess Mr. Trump must be assuming that the Democrats are going to win the Senate, and therefore approve any nominees Clinton nominates. That works for me. Second — and more importantly — he does not seem to know how the U.S. Constitution

File photo

is structured. I guess he still has not read it. Article V of the U. S. Constitution spells out how it can be amended: For an amendment to be proposed or repealed, it requires two-thirds of each of the federal legislative bodies — House and Senate — to vote in the affirmative. Once that has happened, it then requires two-thirds of the state legislatures of the 50 states to vote in the affirmative. Because any amendment can be blocked by a mere 13 states withholding approval, amendments do not come easily. In fact, only 27 amendments have been ratified since the Constitution became effective, and 10 of those occurred

almost immediately — as The Bill of Rights. The difficulty required to change an amendment ought to give us pause, for our Founding Fathers went out of their way to be sure the rights protected by the Constitution could not be easily stripped away. Whether our next president supports or does not support gun control, he or she must make sure that these rules are followed. But then, it does seem that Mr. Trump thinks and behaves as if he is running for emperor, not president. But some of us know better.

The ‘empress’ Clinton has no clothes Like Khizr Kahn, Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, spoke at one of the major-party conventions. “I blame Hillary Clinton for the death of my son,” she said. “In an email to her daughter shortly after the attack, Hillary Clinton blamed it on terrorism. But when I saw her at Sean’s coffin ceremony, she looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible. If Hillary Clinton can’t give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency?” I would encourage you to Google the essay of legendary columnist William Safire in the Jan. 8, 1996 edition of The New York Times in which he describes Clinton as a congenital liar. “She is in the longtime habit of lying; and she has never been called to account for lying herself or in suborning lying in her aides and friends.” Twenty years later, a tired, old leopard has not changed its spots. In November 2015, Clinton said “every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.” When asked if this included the many women accusing her husband of sexual assault, she smiled and said, “Everybody should be believed until they are disbe-

I am now 73 and it never goes away.” Before voting in November, Google feminist Camille Paglia’s March 2015 interview on YouTube, where she described Clinton as “a complete fraud,” and “a woman that has enabled the degradations and exploitation of women.” She observed Clinton hitch her wagon to her husband after she failed the bar exam in Washington D.C., and said, “she’s had no real career other than riding on the coattails of her horn-dog husband.”

Clinton’s many lies regarding her personal email server are well documented. Anyone needing a refresher watch or read FBI Director James Comey’s responses to Congressman Trey Gowdy’s questions at the recent hearing. Comey confirmed Mrs. Clinton sent and received classified emails, used more than one device, did not turn over all work-related emails and her lawyers did not read the 30,000 messages they deleted on her behalf. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell felt the need to prevent her campaign from pinning her use of a private email server on him. He said: “The truth is, she was using her private server for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did as Secretary of State.” Although I respect that many people of good will support Clinton, Safire’s essay rings very true today. The empress has no clothes and this is not pleasant to look at. Perhaps that explains why Clinton has not held a press conference since Dec. 5, 2015.

It’s summertime and the boating is easy

OPINION Out of control and loving it

A

s we count down the days of summer on our hands and feet and we prepare for yet another tour around the academic merry-go-round, some of us are squeezing in leisure activities that become increasingly harder to do amidst trigonometry tests, English exams, soccer practices and musical rehearsals. Some summer revelers go to amusement parks, where their bodies By Daniel Dunaief travel in directions that defy the typical linear motion from our beds to our cars to our offices. What is it about those moments when we fly around the corner of a roller coaster, or when we tilt back and forth in a machine that moves

D. None of the above

incredibly quickly that people fi nd so thrilling? Is it the feeling of our stomachs moving inside our bodies, the moment when we experience something completely new and more akin to that which another animal, like a bird, might feel — or is it something more basic? The answers depend on who you are and what you consider fun. I think, however, at the base of these wild rides is something we share in different degrees and circumstances. We enjoy the moment between when we exercise what we feel is the usual level of control over our lives, and that instant which balances between thrill and terror when we give up control. Yes, I know there are people who crave control to such a degree that almost all the decisions they make seem rooted in the power to influence each element or variable in their lives. To return to a scene from childhood, they are holding a crayon in their hand and carefully staying within the lines of life’s coloring book.

Maybe I wasn’t enough of an artist, or maybe I just enjoyed the entropy that comes from my universe which always seems to be moving toward a greater state of disorder, but those undirected marks outside the lines always seemed so liberating. The lines were the equivalent of someone instructing me to, “Do this, stay here, do that.” My squiggly and nonrepresentational lines were enshrined in my response: “No, thanks.” Recently, my son, brother and I went sailing in a strong wind. My brother, who captained the small boat, delighted at the sudden surge of speed as we flew across Port Jefferson Harbor. We were flying through the water at speeds that rivaled nearby motorboats, leaving behind a bubbly, foamy water trail. After several trips back and forth, the wind picked up enough strength that it submerged half of the boat. We heeled so far that my brother and son were heading toward the water. Still planted on the higher side of the boat, I

reached for my son’s life jacket and held on, trying to use our combined weight to keep us from capsizing. Seconds before we reached that tipping point, however, my brother let the sails out, dumping the wind and righting the ship just in time. While the outing was enjoyable up to that point, it reached a whole new level of excitement, especially for my son, who couldn’t wait to tell his cousins about how we started to tip. Naturally, their reaction was to put on their bathing suits, grab their life jackets and head for the boat. So, what is it about those outof-control moments that are so enjoyable, particularly in the retelling? Maybe, it’s just that — for the precise instant when gravity seems optional, when our routine experiences aren’t enough to allow us to predict the future with certainty the way we can with so many other things — anything is possible. And our minds, like our bodies, jump into the excitement of the unknown.

above and right, Brendan Martin competes in previous races. He will be taking part in his first new york City Marathon in november.

Former Smithtown runner will compete in NYC By Dan aronson Smithtown native Brendan Martin, 27, is set to make his debut in the New York City Marathon this November. “It’s one [race] I feel like I have to do before I retire from competitive running,” Martin said. “It’s my hometown race.” This 26.2 mile-marathon is one the most popular races in the United States. It draws runners and spectators from all over the world, and takes competitors through all five boroughs of New York City. The race was first held in 1970, with only 127 runners competing. Martin did not find his passion for run-

ning until high school — he always thought he would be a big lacrosse player. The Smithtown resident played lacrosse competitively until the end of 10th grade and then decided to put it aside so he could focus on running. His father Bill Martin said one of the reasons he made the switch from lacrosse to running was his size. “The only thing that has hampered him, in pretty much anything he has done, is his size,” the father said. Both of Martin’s parents will be attending the race in November and are very excited to see how he performs. “I don’t think I can keep my wife away,”

Bill Martin said. “[Brendan] has taken things to a whole new level. We are not surprised he has made it this far. He works very hard towards his goals and has done that since high school — he puts together a good plan and executes it.” Len Carolan, Martin’s coach at Smithtown High School West, had a significant impact on the runner. He has now been retired for eight years, but still keeps in touch with Martin. “When I first met Brendan, he was so enthusiastic about running and I knew he was going to be something special” Carolan said. “His love of running and his desire to do well, plus his talent, is what really makes Brendan stand out. He was by far the most talented runner I ever coached.” Martin led his crosscountry team at Smithtown to three consecutive Suffolk County championships from 2003-06. He clearly set his team up well for future years, as without him the Bulls went on to win the title in 2007. The Bulls teams in 2007 and 2008 also won back-to-back divisional championships. “He was instrumental in getting us to that competitive level,” Carolan said. And Martin has similar feelings for his old coach. “He gave me a good feeling about running,” Martin said of Carolan. “He made it really fun and team-oriented for us. That made

it a blast. He was really good at coaching the fundamentals, working hard, being dedicated and working together with your teammates, and I think that really stuck with me.” Each athlete prepares himself in a different way, and for Martin, that’s running year-round. He said he spends eight to nine weeks preparing for the race. In the first five to six weeks, he runs about 120 to 130 miles a week. Once he gets closer to race day, Martin said he tries to run 20 to 22 miles per day, at marathon pace. “I’m going to make sure I’m doing a lot of hills in my training, because New York is a notoriously difficult course, with lots of ups and downs,” Martin said. But that doesn’t mean he’s not up to the task. “I need to study on my own a little bit what to expect, and as long as I — Len Carolan do that and I run patiently — very tough at the end — I expect to do pretty well,” he said. The unique challenge that comes with running in the marathon is that you can’t run the course in preparation, because the only time the roads are closed is for the marathon. He’s still ready to take on the course, and is looking forward to taking on New York City. “A hilly race suits my strengths and as long as I run smart, have good confidence in myself,” he said, “[I could] be one of the top Americans and hopefully the top New Yorker.”

‘When I first met Brendan, he was so enthusiastic about running and I knew he was going to be something special.’
