TOWN

Commack pizzeria owner to renovate historic Smithtown mansion A Commack pizzeria owner has purchased one of Smithtown’s historic mansions in the hopes of lovingly restoring it with his own two hands. Richard Albano, owner of Richie’s Pizza in both Commack and Deer Park, became the landowner of Ebo Hill mansion on Edgewood Road March 8. Albano began renovating the three-story house nearly a month ago, unable to wait until the sale of the property was finalized. “I feel a lot of passion for this home,” he said. “I’m working on it every day, restoring it. My goal is to make it look as it was when it was brand new.” Albano, of Deer Park, said he stumbled upon the nearly 175-year-old mansion once owned by descendants of Smithtown’s founder, Richard Smythe, while hunting for a larger home for himself. Upon seeing it, he reached out to prior owner, Richard Longobardi, to inquire if it was for sale. Albano said he flipped eight houses in 10 months to raise funds necessary to purchase the property, then set up a tour. “It’s so majestic,” he said. “Walking through the house on a 20-degree day with two flashlights in hand, you would expect it to be eerie. The house still had this warm, homey feeling to it.” Albano declined to share the final sale

price he negotiated with Longobardi for the historic property. Albano admitted that despite flipping houses, or purchasing properties and reselling for profit since 1984, he has never taken on a project of this size or magnitude before. The more than 11,000-square-foot mansion, which he heard was last inhabited in 2001, contains 16 bedrooms, two kitchens, a master ballroom, and numerous bathrooms that have many of the building’s original fixtures. According to “Colonel Rockwell’s Scrapbook” published by the Smithtown Historical Society in 1968, the house was built around 1846. It once belonged to Obadiah Smith, a great-grandson of Richard Smythe, before eventually becoming the homestead to Ethelbert Marshall Smith, another Smythe descendent, in 1877. Albano said as he’s started renovating he’s found items spanning back through the centuries dating as far back as Ethelbert Smith’s years of ownership. A steel beam supporting the house’s structure is clearly marked “E.M. Smith” while the main staircase still has “Smith” written on it in pencil. “Nobody at any point in time ripped anything apart to go replace it with something new,” Albano said. “They kept the original things working. I appreciate it very much.” Other recent discoveries include the home’s original weather vane, a pogo stick, and a stitched needlepoint piece bearing the title of the Christian hymn “Nearer, My God,

The historic Ebo Hill mansion in Smithtown. Shown in the insert, one of its beams is inscribed with ‘E.M. Smith.’ to Thee” found under the floorboards in the attic. Albano said it wasn’t until he tore the boards off the windows that he found the location of the refrigerated walk-in box, which he said was believed to be the first of its kind on Long Island. One change made to the original house that its new owner wishes to undo is its location. The house was once moved from the northeast corner of Edgewood and Landing to sit further back on the property by Smith, according to “Colonel Rockwell’s Scrap-book.” Albano said he will be hiring a moving company to lift and move the house

forward, setting it on a new foundation to improve stability and create a backyard. The new owner said there have been a few issues with people trespassing in the home as work has been underway, but said it’s been largely out of curiosity rather than malicious intent. “Once it’s presentable, I intend to open it up to the public for a day,” he said. “It’s part of Smithtown’s history.” Albano said he hopes to move in and take up residency as soon as possible. If everything goes smoothly, he hopes to have the mansion renovated in about a year.

Smithtown requires environmental study for proposed cell tower BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Proposed plans to build a 120-foot cellphone tower on Smithtown’s West Main Street may have hit additional interference from Smithtown Town officials. Town board voted unanimously March 6 to require a full environmental impact study from Deer Park-based Elite Towers on its proposed plans to construct a cellphone tower opposite the Stop & Shop plaza. Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) said the decision to require an environmental study was made based on a March 6 recommendation from Russ Barnett, director of the town’s environmental and waterways division. Barnett said the cellphone tower plans have raised several environmental concerns due to its proximity to the Nissequogue River, as well as the possibility of it having a negative visual impact on western downtown Smithtown. The developers have also requested a variance to eliminate any required setback from nearby office buildings. “There are concerns for health and safety of such a tall pole being next to a habitable building,” he said, noting if the tower suddenly collapsed it could hit the buildings or people. “We’re afraid it would set a precedence of town code not being applicable in the future.” In addition, Barnett said he questioned if one of the seven other potential sites for the antenna considered by the utility company or other alternative technologies might result in better cellphone coverage with less of an impact. “Existing and proposed coverage maps prepared by the application’s [radio frequency] engineer indicate that the proposed monopole will still leave large areas of [Caleb Smith State] park and its environs without adequate service,” reads the March 6 recommendation letter. Gregory Alvarez, an attorney representing Elite Towers, said the company was disappointed by the town board’s decision. The developer said it has already addressed

the town’s concerns, according to Alvarez, particularly the issue of the tower’s visibility. They previously placed a crane on the proposed property and photographs of how it would look were taken from 25 locations across town. “This application has been studied rigorously for two-and-a-half years and requiring an [environmental impact study] will kick it out another two years, and adversely affect coverage in the community,” said David Bronston, an attorney representing AT&T at the board meeting. Barnett said the average time required to complete such a report ranges from 18 to 24 months. Once an initial draft is completed, residents will have at minimum 30 days to review the document and submit comments, according to Barnett. The developer must incorporate this public feedback into a final report, after which Smithtown residents will be given at least another 10 days to comment before the town board makes a decision. “Bottom line, we’re obligated to protect the health of both residents and our habitat,” Wehrheim said. “If it turns out that there is no impact on our community we’ll make an informed decision at that time.”

Willow is a 2-year-old pit bull mix who is a great family pet. She is OK with some dogs and around children, but not cats. Roxy is a th3-year-old Rottweiler/shepherd mix, who is housebroken and good with dogs. She would do best in a home with children over age 15. Rex is a 2-year-old blue-nosed pit who is housebroken.

As part of an initiative to assist local shelters with overcrowding, the Smithtown Animal Shelter and Adoption Center has taken in four pups in need of loving forever homes. All four canine companions were previously at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter. Prior to relocation, the dogs were medically and behaviorally vetted. Each has been given a clean bill of health. “This is a no-brainer for us,” said Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo (R) in a press statement, who also serves as the town liaison for the shelter. “We’re saving the lives of so many more dogs this way by reducing the popula-

EDUCATION

Proposed budget 1.61 percent higher than current year in Commack



Tax levy increase to be between 2.51 percent and 2.91 percent, though cap won’t be pierced



Status quo will reign in Commack, with a few new programs next year. Commack Superintendent Donald James unveiled the first part of his proposed budget for the 2018-19 school year during a March 9 board of education meeting, which would maintain all existing instructional programs intact across each school. The preliminary budget of $193,222,797 is roughly 1.61 percent higher than the current year’s budget, which was adopted at $190,163,464. The first budget workshop focused on general administration support and instructional spending which, combined, make up 57 percent of the total budget. The district plans on keeping programs such as Movement in the Arts, an exercise-educational program for students in kindergarten through fifth grade that was introduced last year. New curriculum would include more art and technology class options for sixth-graders, including digital animation and 3-D printing; TerraNova learning assessment for students in kindergarten through fifth grade; and class options of investigations in the humanities, principles of engineering, American sign language, horticulture, and school and community leadership for high school students. “Our aim in Commack is to prepare every student for whatever they want and need to achieve at their next level of learning while simultaneously maintaining and enhancing the educational program and academic achievement, as we define it, that Commack is known for and the community expects,” James said at the top of the presentation. The budget is expected to stay within the tax levy increase cap, according to Laura Newman, assistant superintendent for business and operations. The projected tax levy increase in the budget draft is currently 2.51 percent, with a tax cap increase of no more than 2.91 percent. “I say that because there are sometimes budgetary decisions that are made that will change the tax cap formula and calculation,” Newman said of the wide-ranging projection. Moving forward, district officials said they hope to deal with “the misperception” that the tax levy increase cap is 2 percent and make clear a 2.51 percent increase for Commack does not constitute piercing the cap. “I don’t know any district in the Huntington-Smithtown cluster that has the 2-percent number,” James said. “While Newsday’s and [Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s] perception is that it’s 2, it’s not 2.” The 2018-19 budget’s slight increase over last year’s adopted budget is based primarily on instruction costs — more staffing, contractual increases and changes, a plan for a renewed enrollment projection report, districtwide technology upgrades and special education program enhancements. There is also a proposed hike in guidance, psychological and health services due to contractual changes. The total instruction budget will be $4,626,905 more than last year’s, up to $110,535,346. The overall general support, which represents 11 percent of the budget and includes an increase in insurance and public information and services, is increasing by $499,873. “We’ve worked very hard to come up with a budget that will keep us within tax cap but maintain our programs, which is, luckily, what we’ve been able to do,” Amy Ryan, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction, assessment and student support services, said. “It’s sort of a boring budget in the sense that there are no big enhancements and, happily, no cuts. We have a very supportive community so it should be good.” The school board will meet for its second budget workshop March 15, to discuss facilities, athletics, security, transportation, technology, staffing and undistributed costs, like retirement. The public will vote on the budget May 15.

Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) announced a former Commack resident and babysitter has been extradited from Florida and charged with 27 counts of alleged sex crimes against three young children who were in his care in Suffolk County between 2009 and 2014. Suffolk County Police Department has been working in cooperation with Florida’s state attorney’s office since 2014 to bring Benjamin Fielman, 27, back to Long Island to face criminal charges for his alleged actions. Fielman was arraigned in 1st District Court in Central Islip March 9. Fielman is currently serving a 10-year sentence in Florida, where he is registered as a sexual predator, after pleading guilty to felony sex crimes involving children in June 2017. “These crimes are atrocious,” Sini said. “This individual used the trust that was given to him by families in Suffolk County to carry out these depraved acts against children, our most vulnerable population.” Fielman worked as an assistant teacher at Suffolk Y Jewish Community Center in Commack for four years from 2008 to 2011 and as a babysitter, not related to any service or agency. During this time, the district attorney said Fielman allegedly sexually abused three unrelated boys ranging in age from 7 to 11 and was allegedly taking sexually explicit photos and videos. Florida state authorities executed a search warrant on the suspect’s home after he was arrested in 2014, according to Sini, where they found evidence of Fielman allegedly engaging in sexual contact with minors. He was also in possession of child pornography. Authorities determined the materials originated in Suffolk County. Florida authorities contacted the Suffolk police department’s computer crimes unit, which investigated the origin of the images and videos through the files’ metadata and was able to identify the victims. “We have serious concern that there are more victims. Sini said. “It’s very important that we not only take this individual off the streets so he cannot pose a danger to children moving forward, but also that we send a clear message that law enforcement from all jurisdictions is working together to bring people like this to justice.” The DA’s office said it has been in touch with the community recreation center and they have been cooperating with the active investigation. Fielman was previously indicted by a Suffolk County grand jury on two counts of first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child; two counts of second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child; 11 counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child; 11 counts of using a child in a sexual performance; and endangering the welfare of a child. He was remanded without bail to the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverhead. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. The district attorney said the case remains an ongoing investigation under Suffolk’s Child Abuse and Domestic Violence Bureau. Anyone with information about the defendant or potential victims is encouraged to contact law enforcement at 631-852-6279. Anonymous tips can be made through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-220-TIPS (8477).

STATE

School safety, gun legislation on separate political tracks The New York State Legislature is working to make schools safer in the aftermath of the Feb. 14 shooting at a Florida high school. But the Republican-held Senate and Democratic-majority Assembly are not yet on the same page in figuring out how to accomplish the goal. The Senate passed a package of bills March 6 Page A22 aimed at improving school safety through various security-related measures. After a package of gun legislation bills — which included measures to create a stronger background check process, ban bump stocks or accessories that increase a semi-automatic weapon’s rate of fire, establish extreme risk protection orders, and more — brought forward by Senate Democrats failed in late February, the Assembly also passed a package of bills March 6 designed to strengthen gun laws. Several of the bills in the Assembly package were the same as versions voted down in the Senate. It remains to be seen if either house will pass their counterparts respective packages. “I have every hope that we can walk and chew gum at the same time because these are not mutually exclusive directions, and they are very complementary,” Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said in an interview. The assemblyman said he hadn’t had a chance to fully study the package of bills passed in the Senate yet, but at first glance it included some initiatives he’d be comfortable supporting. “I would just appeal to my colleagues in the Senate to meet us halfway, and I would pledge to do the same for them. I think we all should keep our eye on what the objective is here, which is to save lives and ultimately there is no single measure that is going to be an omnibus solve.” The passed Senate package includes a bill authorizing districts to receive state funding to hire a school resource officer, defined in the bill to include retired or active duty police officers, deputy sheriffs or state troopers. They would be permitted to carry firearms on school grounds if licensed to do so. Another bill increased the earnings limitations for retired police officers being employed by schools from $30,000 annually to $50,000. A bill was also included in the package that will provide state education aid to districts for acquiring safety technology and improving security. “Schools must be safe havens, where students can learn and teachers can teach,” Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan (REast Northport) said in a statement. “In

Editorial comment

Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan and his coalition passed a series of school safety bills last week, as the Democrats eye gun control legislation. New York, we must act swiftly and decisively to implement additional measures in schools throughout our state to give students, parents and teachers the resources and peace of mind that they deserve.” The Senate’s package also had components designed to improve school-based mental health services. One bill allocates districts $50,000 in state funding to put toward hiring a mental health services coordinator, while another requires the state Department of Education to investigate and report on the number of full- and part-time school counselors, school social workers and school psychologists in each school; the ratio of students to the number of school counselors; the ratio of students to the number of school social workers; the ratio of students to the number of school psychologists in each school; and when such staff is working in more than one school. As part of the package, another bill was passed defining school shootings as an act of terrorism, which now makes the New York State Intelligence Center in cooperation with the state Division of Homeland Security responsible for the collection, integration, receipt, processing, evaluation, analysis, fusing, dissemination, sharing and maintenance of intelligence information to aid in detecting, preventing, investigating and

responding to acts of terrorism, including school shootings. Now suspects who discharge a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school can be charged with committing an act of terrorism. The bills in the Senate’s package passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in most cases. They will head to the Assembly before arriving, if passed, at Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) desk for signing into law. The package that passed the Assembly, if eventually passed by the Senate and signed by Cuomo, would temporarily prohibit individuals from purchasing or possessing guns if a family member or law enforcement officer petitions a court and the court finds individuals are likely to engage in conduct that would harm themselves or others. It also would establish a 10-day waiting period before a gun may be delivered to a purchaser who has not cleared a background check. Under current federal law, gun dealers must conduct a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System before selling a firearm. The NICS system responds with one of three messages: “proceed,” “denied” or “delayed.” The dealer must deny the sale if the NICS background check determines the buyer is a prohibited purchaser and responds with a “denied” message. However, if the response is “delayed,” the dealer may nonetheless complete the sale after three business days. Also included in the package is a bill preventing convicted domestic abusers from purchasing or possessing a firearm. Spokespersons for Flanagan and Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) did not respond to a request for comment asking if they intend to support the package of legislation passed by the Assembly.

Bellone announces safety initiative BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Schools in Suffolk County will now be offered a permanent eye in the sky. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) announced the SHARE initiative March 9, a program that will allow districts the ability to connect existing camera systems directly to the Suffolk County Police Department. The system would enhance the efficiency of a police department response to an active shooter situation, according to a press release from Bellone’s office. “We will do whatever it takes to protect our schools by utilizing every available tool and partnership at our disposal,” the county executive said in a statement. “The SHARE initiative will provide law enforcement the enhanced capabilities needed to respond to a security risk, and I look forward to working with our superintendents and stakeholders on how we can keep our schools safe.” The county will hold a meeting of all school district superintendents March 15 to formally seek voluntary consent with the districts interested in the program. “We have been preparing and training for the nightmare scenario that we hope never happens,” District Attorney Tim Sini (D) said in a statement. “In the police department, we enhanced our readiness for an active shooter scenario or a terrorist attack, but most importantly to take measures to prevent those incidents.”

Going bald for children’s cancer research Dozens of people entered Napper Tandy’s Pub in Smithtown to boldly go bald at a St. Baldrick’s Day event March 10. The event raised more than $50,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a nonprofit organization that funds childhood cancer research. The top fundraising team was the fourth-grade boys Smithtown

Bulls lacrosse team, coached by Rob Trites, which collected more than $12,000 for the charity. “This is our third year doing it as a team,” Trites said. “It’s a great event to get the kids together at — a nonsporting event so they can bond and give back, shave their heads in solidarity with children fighting disease.”

Smithtown Town councilman Tom Lohmann (R) and Robert Murphy (R), the town’s superintendent of highways, shaved their heads this year. Lohmann and Murphy were part of a team that raised more than $11,000 in memory of Matthew Gonzalez, who died May 21, 2009 from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. — SARA-MEGAN WALSH

Fun run fundraiser

Spreading their wings SMITHTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT

To raise money for its Parent Teacher Association, get active and show their school spirit, Mills Pond Elementary School in the Smithtown school district held a Boosterthon Fun Run in the gym March 9. Garnering pledges from friends and family for each lap they ran, the students completed between 30-35 laps around the gym. In total, Mills Pond Elementary School raised close to $15,000 to help benefit the programs and activities provided by its PTA. Dressed in their fun run shirts, the students had teachers and staff members cheering them on as they completed each lap. After each time around the gym, they received a check mark on the back of their shirts to show their lap count.

Members of the art club at Nesaquake Middle School in the Smithtown school district are spreading their wings — literally. The student artists, along with adviser and art teacher Jennifer Fandrey, painted their wings in the hallway of the school. The artwork was inspired by artist Kelsey Montague, who has a social media movement tied to her artwork. Her motto is artwork shouldn’t just be about the artist

but about the community. She encourages people to become part of her art, take a photo and share it on social media. Her art movement motivated the Nesaquake art club to create their first piece in September. It encourages students to share “what lifts them” and use the hashtag to spread the message on social media. The club is currently working on a second set of wings, with each student crafting a different piece of the wings.

What Do You Want to Be?

ost people at several points in their lives are still working on answering the question asked of them since primary school: What do you want to be when you grow up?

Just like in school, the answer to this question continues to change. The most successful leaders across industries continue to advance and move on to new things. They do not achieve their goals and then sit back and relax. They move on to the next dream. Others realize that what once gave them excitement no longer does. Then they search for their next passion. Sometimes it’s hard to know what to do or where to even start.

FIND A MENTOR People at the top of their industry and those who follow their passions don’t get there on their own. They likely had an entire network of people who guided and supported them along the way. Many of them had mentors. The topic of professional coaches and mentors is discussed a lot in relation to climbing the ladder, but they also can be an invaluable resource for finding which ladder you want to climb.

KEEP A GOAL JOURNAL Keeping a journal of your objectives is a great way to brainstorm. What goals do you want to achieve this year? This month? What did you do today that will help you get closer to achieving your goals? Have you learned anything new? Reflecting back on the previous year can help you understand what you want out of the upcoming year.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES No one likes to think too hard about his or her flaws, but being honest with yourself can help you understand what you need to work on. This also is a great litmus test for understanding what you want to learn. Which ideas, actions or products excite you? How do you plan to go after jobs that can help you leverage these passions?

Professional coaches have the advantage of being an outside player. They bring a different and objective perspective on your strengths and weaknesses

and can help you create opportunities you might not have considered. 2018 Greenshoot Media

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor FLANAGAN’S OFFICE

The Republican-held Senate is touting its school safety package of bills, which did nothing to advance common sense gun reform.

Safe school package doesn’t address guns

The two tribes have set their respective baselines while New Yorkers yearn for compromise and actual, tangible change. The Republican-held state Senate has thus far made its position clear. Billed as the way to keep kids safe, its legislative school security package, which passed March 6, has several strong ideas and mercifully doesn’t get New York educators any closer to possessing firearms on school grounds. It establishes funds for districts that want to hire school resource officers, and opened the definition to include retired or active duty police officers, deputy sheriffs and/or state troopers, who would be allowed to carry weapons on campuses. The package also provides state education aid to districts acquiring safety technology or otherwise improving security of facilities. A bill to create more funding for schools to hire additional mental health professionals was also included. On its face, the Republican package does plenty to improve safety in schools. A Suffolk County initiative announced by Executive Steve Bellone (D) last week would allow districts to give access to existing surveillance systems to the police department, designed to speed up response times during mass shooter situations. The package and the new county scheme are outside of the box and forward-thinking ideas that are welcome for making students safer. The Republican plan passed with bipartisan support. However, the only use of the word “gun” in a press release announcing the package from a spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan (R-East Northport) is in reference to potential future legislation that would create funding for districts seeking more weapon detection systems. At the end of February, the state Senate voted down a package of measures introduced by the Democrats that aimed at addressing access to firearms. That legislative bundle included stronger background checks, a ban on bump stocks and an “extreme risk protection” measure designed to keep weapons away from people who are determined by a court to pose a risk of harm to themselves or others. In other words, common-sense, bare minimum gun control measures that do nothing to infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. A similar package made it through the New York State Assembly the same day. “I am not encouraged that we’re there yet,” state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) said when asked if he thought the discussion about guns at the state level was progressing among both parties. “Schools must be safe havens where students can learn and teachers can teach,” Flanagan said in a statement announcing the Republican bills. “In New York, we must act swiftly and decisively to implement additional measures in schools throughout our state to give students, parents and teachers the resources and peace of mind that they deserve.” He and his fellow local senator from the Republican conference, Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), have yet to respond to a request for comment through respective spokespersons asking if either intend to support the Assembly package. If the Republicans are serious about creating “peace of mind” for schools and parents, the school safety measures are an excellent start, but the Assembly package should be passed too.

Port Jeff student: Politics belong in student walkout discussions I am an admittedly very opinionated junior who attends Earl L. Vandermeulen High School. I read the March 8 Port Times Record article entitled “Port Jeff area students, parents and districts weigh in on gun legislation ‘walkout,’” about members of the district weighing in on the complex issue of the walkouts and gun control. I could not help but feel that the article did not accurately portray all the views of the students who attend school here. The article uses the plural “students,” but the only interview or opinion voiced came from one of my friends, Ben Zaltsman. I understand the importance and reasoning for an interview with the Student Organization president but I don’t think that his views accurately represent the #enough movement in its entirety or all of the student body. I am the creator and one of the admins of the Instagram page @pjhswalkout, which is a social media account devoted to the sharing of support for a walkout and increased gun legislation. As of this writing, the account has 121 followers, which is a significant number considering the small population of our school. I, as well as some like-minded friends, use the account to make announcements and gather support for student

action about gun legislation. We also have been in contact with the much larger Ward Melville protest through Instagram and there are talks of working together on many different things because we are all united in this fight. The issue that we took was that the school district as well as Ben, as shown in your article, took the politics out of the issue. As you can find on its website, #enough has this mission statement: “Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers after school shootings. We need action. We demand Congress pass sensible legislation that would help keep us and our loved ones safe from gun violence.” The issue with simply holding a memorial is that the message behind this movement gets stripped. As a result of social media discussions as well as some emails sent to administration, there was a meeting held March 8 in which we discussed a plan of action. Here is a new and updated agenda of events held March 14: At 10 a.m. there was a memorial service for those who were killed in Parkland. This lasted until 10:17 a.m. at which point there was a transition to an informative portion in which myself and some of the other admins and supporters of #enough went into the

meaning behind the movement. We wanted to emphasize that this is political, but at the same time it does not need to be divisive. Everyone can agree, hopefully, that violence is bad, and that some form of advanced regulation is required. An important thing to note is that another friend of mine, who doesn’t necessarily agree with our political views, spoke during the event. This is because we wanted to not only allow ample time for a fair and equal discussion that covers both halves of the issue, but we wanted to emphasize the common ground between the two parties that often gets muddled up in arguments. This was a discussion of our message, as well as a call to action. Throughout the day there was a station open with a database on U.S. government representatives from both New York and other states, as well as various letter templates to make petitioning them easier for those who wanted to take action. We wanted to make sure that out of this comes some good, and talking and memorializing is important but it is the sending of letters, making the representatives aware of our stance on gun violence that helps facilitate change.

Gavin Barrett Port Jefferson

A call for an American rebirth Who are we? What have we become? Is our constitution still as viable as it once was? Was our constitution inspired by the Ten Commandments? Was the birth of our nation created by men of good faith? Does the nation still rest upon the foundation of our constitution? Are we still a nation of our Founding Fathers? Is our spirit still of Judeo-Christian values? Answer: We have now

become a progressive, secular society from the republic we once knew. In conscience we have lost our spirituality, resulting in a decaying moral abyss that is now destroying our present cherished freedoms. Look about with objective foresight and view the moral and spiritual carnage in which we now dwell. Our nation as well as our planet now suffers within a social structure of total

depravity. We have grown away from the Greatest Generation of my youth. Values of our past no longer apply. Wake up to reality America. Our time of rebirth is at hand. Let not the ashes of Rome and Greece devour us since we are all children of God. A plea to the American people. God bless America.

STILL SEEING SIGNS OF WINTER: Frank Melville Memorial Park in East Setauket.

Media mob wades into penguin paradise

t’s got great pictures and is good news. As a result, it’s a story heard around the world. Back in 2015, Heather Lynch, an associate professor of ecology and evolution at Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, started the tedious yet important job of counting Adélie penguins in a place with a well-earned name: the Danger Islands. This chain of nine Antarctic islands is surrounded by rocks and potentially shipice. By Daniel Dunaief trapping These parameters present a picture-perfect paradise for Adélie penguins, who live, breed, eat, squawk and poop there — more on that in a moment. Armed with drones that fly over these islands and working with collaborators from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at Oxford University in England and Louisiana State University in

D. None of the above

Baton Rouge, Lynch and others counted these flightless birds. The final number came to an astounding 1.5 million. Wait, but how could a planet so well covered by satellite imagery, where you can see your car in your driveway through online apps, not know about a colony so large that it’s called a supercolony? We kind of knew that they lived there, although not in such staggering numbers, when a plane flew overhead in 1957. It wasn’t until more recently, however, that Lynch and Mathew Schwaller from NASA in Greenbelt, Maryland, studied satellite images from guano stains — this is where the poop comes in — that they had an idea of the enormity of a population of penguins that would make Mr. Popper proud. News outlets, including TBR News Media, couldn’t get enough of the story, grabbing the pictures, getting Lynch and her colleagues on the phone and learning about the creatures. Publications of all political stripes, from The New York Times to CNN, to The Wall Street Journal to Breitbart News have all covered it. “It’s a good news story,” said

Lynch. “People latched onto that.” Lynch said she spoke directly with 12 or more journalists. At the same time, about 360 stories mentioned Stony Brook and penguins. Some of the coverage has included mistakes. One report, for example, had spectacular visuals. The narrative, however, suggested the Danger Islands was a hotspot for penguins because the location has been left undisturbed by people. “That’s not what I said,” she said. “The question was, ‘Why hadn’t we discovered them before?’ The answer was because this is not an area where people go.” That, she said, is not the same as suggesting that the penguins flourished because humans haven’t been there. It only means we didn’t know about them because visiting the islands is so hazardous. Another outlet suggested that the Adélie penguins were on the verge of extinction. Not only is that inaccurate, but the population has been growing, as previous research from Lynch indicated. While that may not fit a simple climate-change narrative, it supports the concept of a warming world. To simplify the message, the

climate-change community has made a link between population and climate, which is “impossible to break,” she said, even though it’s also inaccurate. There is this “kind of tug of war between the scientists dealing with nuance and detail, and the conversation community,” she said. They don’t need to be at odds, she added. Indeed, this colony thrives because the Danger Islands hasn’t increased in temperature at the same rate as other parts of the Antarctic. The media spotlight taught her a few lessons. For starters, in addition to the talking points she had during her interactions, she would include bullet points in the negative, to make it clear what the researchers aren’t saying. Ultimately, however, Lynch recognizes the value of the photos. “The drone footage is amazing and stunning,” she said. She gives credit to the Woods Hole staff. “If we didn’t have pictures” the story would likely not have received such extensive coverage. What’s the lesson? From now on, she said, “I’ll think about the visuals in advance, if I want the attention.”
