Shoreham-Wading River junior Kelly Beagen, on right, voices her opinions at the walkout. “I think that it’s important to think about other parts of the world — and I feel like for some people, there’s this culture in our country that we have to be different from other parts of the world, like simply being different makes us better than them,” junior Kelly Beagen said. “But there is evidence that different countries that have different gun laws don’t have mass shootings, at least not at the rate that we have them.” Students stood behind a barricade that was guarded by both school security and Suffolk County police. “It shouldn’t be harder for a responsible

gun owner to get a gun,” Manghan said. “What’s going to be harder, hopefully impossible, is for somebody who’s mentally ill from getting a gun and shooting people.” Students said the walkout was much more organized than the March 14 one, and that school administration has been supportive. “I felt more confident than last time,” Rashidzada said. “Today, definitely, the school is in support of us as long as we follow the general rules — we feel pretty good about that.” “At the very least they respect what we’re doing,” Manghan said.

Shoreham-Wading River quiz bowl teammates Mahdi Rashidzada, Andrew Honod, Timothy Ibrahim and Julia Petreczky

Brainstormers use noggins to buzz in for big bowl results BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Shoreham-Wading River varsity quiz bowl team Brainstormers showed up this April when they went undefeated all the way through the finals of the Long Island Regional Quiz Bowl. To the team, consisting of senior captain Timothy Ibrahim and juniors Julia Petreczky, Andrew Honold and Mahdi Rashidzada, competing at such a high level never felt overburdening or stressful. “It’s funny because we’re not really that competitively minded,” Ibrahim said. “There wasn’t one person who answered the questions, we all answered the questions together, and everybody was really pulling their weight.” The team finished the season ranked No. 1 in eastern Long Island and No. 5 among all participating Long Island schools. On April 11, the Brainstormers competed in the Quiz Bowl finals at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School. The team won two out of three games in the preliminary rounds but didn’t make it through the quarterfinals. Faculty advisor Ann Gianfalla said that this was the best Shoreham-Wading River had done in years. “We always have a good, competitive team, but in the years since I’ve been advising the Brainstormers we’ve only ever got into that sudden death part of the finals one other time,” Gianfalla said. “I think they are all feeling really good about the season. Once you go to the finals the competition gets much deeper very quickly.” Each contest is broken up into differ-

ent rounds. The first round includes 15 toss-up questions where there’s no penalty for guessing. Round 2 tasks the team with coming up with answers to five questions. Round 3 is a lightning round to answer 10 questions in 60 seconds. Round 4 penalizes teams for wrong answers. “I think the great thing about our team is that we had a really diverse team,” Ibrahim said, talking about how each teammate possesses an array of knowledge to help answer questions across the board. “We can all look to this one person, and they got it.” Ibrahim is currently on the wait-list for Binghamton University, where he hopes to major in history, focusing on the late Bronze Age period. The juniors look forward to returning to the team next year. The Brainstormers said they believe it’s not so much a matter of buckling down and studying, as questions could be anything from all parts of history, mathematics, culture and so on. The team practiced speed on buzzers and the rules for different rounds, but the main strategy was relying on each team members’ penchant for trivia. “I was really interested in math and science, Andrew really excels at history — he knows all these crazy facts in wars I couldn’t name off the top of my head — and Julia is really into art, music and pop culture,” Rashidzada said. “Julia and Andrew just dominated in the third round when we had to name all these different bands that I haven’t even heard the names of.” Gianfalla broke down the team’s strategy with a simple ethos. “Basically, we just go there with four really smart kids ,” Gianfalla said, “and win.”

COUNTY Brookhaven Town rally to combat addiction raises $45K Though the sun was shining, and the message was positive, most attendees would prefer to be just about anywhere else on a Saturday morning. For the second year in a row, Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) has helped the family of one of her constituents who experienced unimaginable personal tragedy turn pain into a positive for the community. Last year, to honor the memory of Billy Reitzig, a 25-year-old Miller Place resident who died as a result of a heroin overdose in April 2016, Bonner and Reitzig’s parents, Bill and Sandy, created Hope Walk for Addiction, an event at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai in which participants came to walk, give and receive support for those struggling with addiction, either personally or someone in their family. On April 21, Bonner and the Reitzigs were at it again, this time hosting a War on Addiction Rally at the Pennysaver Amphitheater in Farmingville. “This year the Reitzigs wanted to do something a little bit different — they wanted to have a rally,” Bonner said. Both she and Bill Reitzig likened the event to a double-edged sword — positive for the feelings of solidarity and support attendees undoubtedly walked away with, but never far from the grief and the wish a rally for hundreds of people to unite against addiction wasn’t necessary. “Looking at the people here we know that everybody’s been touched by this

An attendee of Brookhaven’s War on Addiction Rally April 21 wears a shirt that reads “I hate heroin.” whether it be their child or a friend or a family member,” the councilwoman said. “When we were meeting monthly to help set this up, at every meeting at the end we would say, ‘God willing we won’t have to be here next year.’” The event had another, equally important stated purpose along with support for addicts yearning for recovery and families worried about loved ones. All proceeds raised through donations, raffle tickets and offerings from the dozens of vendors on hand were donated to benefit Hope House Ministries, a nonprofit based in Port Jefferson with other locations on the North Shore that supports people suffering from addiction.

“My son passed away April 22, 2016, and prior to that there weren’t some of these groups that are here today like FIST, Families in Support of Treatment, because while he was going through hell, in all honesty, with addiction and struggling and trying to get better, we as a family needed support,” Reitzig said. “Some of those groups weren’t available then, and since he passed away I’ve met so many nice people. It’s a doubleedged sword. It’s kind of like, ‘I wish I didn’t know you, and I wish I didn’t get to meet you today.’ But you know what, my wife and I decided not to bury our heads in the sand and to come out and try to make a

difference with donations. We’re just trying to give back and, I don’t know, I think I get the strength from my son in order to be able to help and try to make a difference.” Bonner said the shift from a more somber event in 2017 to a rally this year should signal a breaking down of the stigma of addiction and empower people suffering themselves or from watching a loved one struggle to reach out for support. “If we can continue to chip away at that, I think more recovery and more help will evolve from that,” she said. “We all share the feeling, that shame and embarrassment is becoming less because so many more have been affected. Whatever the reason is for it, it can only help.” Reitzig said he also hoped a byproduct of the rally would be for people to sign a petition asking New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to spearhead legislation that would mandate evidence-based substance abuse educational programs in every school statewide and urged people to question doctors when prescribed pain medication. Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) shared a similar sentiment. “We want to tell people there is hope, you can take back your life, you can take back control of your life,” he said. The rally raised about $45,000 for Hope House Ministries, up from the walk in 2017 that yielded about $34,000, according to Bonner. About 1,000 people attended the event.

Long Island businesses join forces against sexual violence BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

ALEX PETROSKI

Leaders from private and public sectors came together April 20 to form a partnership that would make Randy Newman proud. “You’ve got a friend in me,” was the message from members of the local business world following the creation of the Long Island Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Consortium, an initiative spearheaded by Laura Ahearn, executive director of Suffolk County’s Crime Victims Center. As a direct result of the #MeToo social media movement turned global awakening, societal response to accusations of sexual misconduct and crime has undergone a swift change, especially in cases in which the accused is of a high profile. But lawmakers and advocates for the movement have been asking an essential question since the movement ensnared the likes of Harvey Weinstein and Larry Nassar back in 2017: How will men who are not famous perpetrating acts of sexual violence against victims who need their jobs to survive truly be held accountable? Ahearn’s consortium may serve as a model in answering that question. “We asked them to just do one thing to help us prevent sexual violence, and we would be satisfied if that one thing was just to be a member of our consortium, because they’re very busy,” Ahearn said of her pitch

to business leaders when trying to rally support for the partnership. “We didn’t want to pressure them, and we didn’t want to ask them for money, because every time they hear ‘not-for-profit,’ they’re like ‘money?’ So instead we said, ‘Just do one thing. Just come to our consortium, give us your logo and you’ll be part of what we’re doing to raise awareness.’ There’s a certain amount of credibility that a big company adds to an organization just working to prevent sexual violence.” The CVC, Ahearn’s organization, is a not-for-profit organization that has been a relentless advocate for victims of all crimes since the late ’90s. It assists victims of child sex abuse and rape, provides services to victims of violent crime, and assists elderly, disabled and minor victims of all crime. To form the consortium, Ahearn presented a list of options businesses could incorporate into their standard practices, which if adhered to should make workplaces on Long Island safer for vulnerable members of the workforce. The list of options businesses were asked to pick from and incorporate to become a member included adding a link to the LISVP consortium on businesses’ websites; providing prevention education and victim services materials in new employee orientation; adding prevention messages to receipts provided to customers; creating public service announcements; hosting training

Organizations signed on to be a part of the consortium so far include Stony Brook Medicine, Altice, Northwell Health, AT&T, Verizon, BNB Bank, Catholic Health Services of Long Island, TRITEC Real Estate Company, Uber, Lyft and many more. Ahearn said in most cases, leaders of the private-sector institutions signed on to take more than one step on the list, and that only one organization she reached out to declined to join. She said she hopes to add to the current list of about 40 consortium partners. Local lawmakers from virtually all levels of government also attended the April 20 press conference to announce the consortium in Hauppauge and voiced

support for the cause. “All the degradation of women in the workplace that has gone on in the shadows throughout our lifetimes, whether it’s the insidious, quiet comments, innuendoes, or whether it’s the more blatant abuse — touching or physical violence — it’s over,” New York Lt. Gov. Kathleen Hochul (D) said. Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) also attended the press conference to voice support for the initiative. “In government we are often focused on what government agencies can do to help a cause, and often we’re shortsighted, and we don’t look beyond the walls of government,” Sini said. “Laura Ahearn doesn’t make that mistake, and it’s crucial.”

TBR wins 11 NYPA awards BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM TBR News Media raked in 11 New York Press Association 2017 awards April 14-15. The company won prizes across the gamut of categories, from news and feature stories to photos and advertisements. “I am so proud of the staff at TBR News Media that works hard to deliver the news each week,” Publisher Leah Dunaief said. “We are delighted to be among the top winners in the contest, as we are every year.” In the feature story category, TBR News Media had two winners for its division among publications with similar circulation. Port Times Record Editor Alex Petroski won first place for his story on how a local political party boss helped President Donald Trump (R) win Long Island votes. “Following the election, many wondered, ‘How did Trump win?’ judges wrote about Petroski’s piece titled “One on one with the man who helped Donald Trump win Suffolk County,” which profiled Suffolk County Republican Committee Chairman John Jay LaValle and details his relationship with the president. “This story answers that on a micro level with an in-depth interview of the man who helped Trump in Suffolk County. I think more papers would have been well served to seek out similar stories.” Reporter Kevin Redding took third in the same category for a The Village Times Herald story on a spooky local bar in Smithtown. “A perfect pre-Halloween story about the haunted local watering hole,” NYPA judges said. “Plenty of examples of what some have seen, heard and felt, which is just what you’d want from a story about a haunted building.” Petroski also won second place in Division 3 for his ongoing coverage on a boat ramp in Port Jefferson Village where two people had died and at least one other was severely injured, in the news series category. Times of Huntington Editor Sara-Megan Walsh took

third place in the same category. “Comprehensive, sustained coverage of a life-or-death infrastructure issue,” the judges wrote of Petroski’s five-piece submission that included three stories, a front page and an editorial on the topic. “Lede with compelling citizens rather than reports from bureaucrats or written statements. Narrative scene-setting ledes can make stories like this more important and compelling.” Redding also roped in a second award, getting a third-place nod in feature photo Division 2 for a picture he took for The Village Beacon Record at the Hope Walk for Addiction at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai. “There was tight competition for third place, but the emotion on the faces of the people in this photo put it a step above the rest,” the judges said of the women hugging and crying in the photo, who’d lost loved ones to battles with addiction. Arts and Lifestyles Editor Heidi Sutton won first place in the Division 2 picture story category for her layout of local Setauket resident Donna Crinnian’s photos of birds in Stony Brook Harbor. The picture essay was titled “Winged Wonders of Stony Brook.” “Elegant way to showcase nature of our feathered friends,” NYPA judges wrote. Director of Media Productions Michael Tessler received an honorable mention in Division 2 coverage of the arts category for his review of Port Jefferson’s Theatre Three’s “A Christmas Carol.” “Nice photos and an insightful story on the characters portraying a beloved classic,” judges said. The Village Times Herald won first place for its classified advertising, as judges said it was “clean, precise, well-spaced and not crowded,” and Wendy Mercier claimed a first-place prize for best small space ad. TBR News Media’s Sharon Nicholson won second place for her design of a best large space ad. The Village Times Herald ranked in the Top 5 in total advertising contest points with 50, good for fourth place. The first-place winner, Dan’s Papers, received 90.

State Legislature to vote on ban of plastic bags BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Environmental advocacy group’s survey shows a decrease in plastic bag use after 5-cent fee Though there are still people in Suffolk County who regularly kick themselves for forgetting to bring their bags into stores, a newly released survey says the law that enforces a 5-cent per bag fee has so far been effective. “And this is only in three months since the law passed,” Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, said to the Suffolk County Legislature Health Committee April 19. “This is a great success. Public behavior is changing.” In November and December of last year, her environmental advocacy group conducted a study that showed 70 percent of 20,000 Suffolk County shoppers surveyed left a store with a plastic, nonreusable bag in tow. Only 6 percent of customers surveyed used a reusable bag. After a new survey of 6,000 people this month in 20 grocery stores throughout the county, just 30 percent of those surveyed purchased plastic bags and 43 percent were now carrying reusable ones; 21 percent of people shopping in those grocery stores decided not to take a bag. “As we celebrate Earth Day it’s great to have news that the bag fee is effective, said Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport). “I know that there were concerns with adopting the bag law, but to see real, tangible results in such a short period of time, I think it’s very exciting.”

Adrienne Esposito, on left, shows the decrease in single-use plastic bags (in blue) from a survey done last December to one done this April. Ocean plastics have become a concern to a number of environmental scientists and advocacy groups, and Esposito said the next goal is to see if there’s a way to reduce the use of other sources, like straws and utensils. “Plastic is becoming a real threat to the environment,” she said. Rebecca Grella, a research scientist and teacher at Brentwood schools, surveyed Flax Pond Marine Laboratory in Old Field last October and said the amount of plasticsfound in the pond’s water was troubling. “At Flax Pond in 1 square meter [were] 17 grams of microplastics, which are plastics under 5 millimeters [large],” Grella said. “In the entire shoreline of Flax Pond — over a

mile of shoreline — we extrapolated there is about 400 pounds of plastic.” The microplastics are from larger pieces that have eroded along the sea floor until they are smaller in size. They are often ingested by sea life, which not only endangers aquatic creatures but any creature which eats them, including people. Spencer said that while a total ban on bags would have been more efficient, there was no way to get it passed by the Legislature. “I think in order to get to this point after years of negotiation, the nickel offered a successful compromise,” Spencer said. “I think the law has worked so well because people don’t want their nickels going to the store.” “By charging people 5 cents there seems to be a lot of people getting angry and agitated,” Grella said. Despite successes, Esposito admitted there is a chance to eventually see an increase in purchased bags as people get used to the law. “We do get concerned about people getting used to the nickel and just paying it,” she said. “Rhat’s why we keep up public education.” Citizens Campaign for the Environment is planning a survey in November and December to gather a much larger sample size, surveying more than just grocery stores.

At the state level, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced a bill to ban single-use plastic bags across the state April 23, which would begin in January 2019 if passed. The threepage bill, introduced by the governor a day after Earth Day, comes a little more than a year after he blocked a 5-cent surcharge that New York City had sought to place on plastic bags. Cuomo described the measure as an effort to counteract the “blight of plastic bags” that is taking “a devastating toll on our streets, our water and our natural resources,” he said in a statement. Seeking re-election for a third term in the fall, Cuomo then quoted an adage: “We did not inherit the Earth, we are merely borrowing it from our children.” If the bill were to pass, New York would join California, which approved a statewide ban of plastic bags in 2016. Hawaii has a de facto ban on plastic bags; all of its counties have instituted bans. But the measure faces an uncertain path in the Legislature, where leaders of the Assembly and the Senate had opposed the city’s bill. The measure would very likely face a stiffer challenge in the Republicanmajority Senate. Under Cuomo’s proposal, a variety of bags would be exempt from the ban, including those that contain raw meat, fish or poultry; bags sold in bulk; those used in bulk packages of fruit and dried goods; those used for deli products; newspaper bags; trash, food storage and garment bags; and takeout food bags. The state’s Department of Environmental Conservation would also be allowed to exempt certain bags through regulations. The news comes after advocates from across the state gathered the same day in Albany to hold Cuomo accountable for meeting his climate and clean energy commitments. “Today, New Yorkers delivered a message to Governor Cuomo: Walk the talk on climate action; follow through on your words, because lasting change only happens through action and putting goals into law,” said Peter Iwanowicz, executive director of Environmental Advocates of New York. “New York has a remarkable opportunity to be an international leader on climate if, and only if, we embrace a future powered by renewables. The people of the state will continue to remind Governor Cuomo of this opportunity until he takes advantage of it.”

Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) sponsored a resolution declaring April as Living Organ Donor Month in the Town of Brookhaven, which was unanimously adopted. During the meeting, Stony Brook University Hospital Transplant Team Administrative Director Dawn Francisquini and Living Donor Coordinator Stephen Knapik shared a presentation about the need for live organ donors. In 2016, Bonner donated one of her kidneys to Tom D’Antonio, her friend of more than 40 years.

Students at Albert G. Prodell Middle School learned force and engineering design with a recent STEM lesson on earthquakes. After studying earthquakes occur because of pressure that builds in the Earth’s crust, sixth-graders in Jackie Reyling’s science class built towers to test if they could withstand one. The goal was to support one small beanbag on the top story and two on the bottom. “Working together to create an earthquake-

Students used their models to provide insight into which strategies communities should adopt to repurpose the maximum amount of food at the minimum cost. “It was pretty intense,” said Wesselborg, who along with his teammates worked to generate innovative ideas for possible solutions. Their work is in the process of being judged by more than 125 doctorate-level applied mathematicians and six finalist teams will be selected to present their solutions to a panel of mathematical experts on April 30.

DESIREE KEEGAN

Mustangs make short work of Comsewogue in a bounce-back win BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA The Mustangs chanted in the huddle, “Unleash the madness.” Fueled with fire following its first loss in 21 games, the Mount Sinai girls lacrosse team amped up the intensity to clobber visiting Comsewogue 15-2 April 23. After being down 6-1 in the first half of a loss to Bayport-Blue Point last Friday, the girls knew they had to come out firing. “We realized we can’t take any team lightly,” said junior attack Morgan Mitchell. “We have to play each game like it’s our last one, stay focused and keep our eye on the prize.” She kept that concentration in the draw circle, flicking the ball toward the sideline instead of up or down the field, so that sophomore midfielder Jenny Markey could scoop it up. Markey boxed out Comsewogue’s Hannah Dorney for crucial time of possession

Morgan Mitchell, far right, moves past defenders up the sideline. that led to two of her three goals in the first five minutes of the game. “I was going against a strong opponent in Hannah Dorney — I had to box her out first so she doesn’t get it, because she’s strong in the circle,” Markey said. “When I boxed her out I knew I had the ball. If we match the other team’s intensity we can play with anyone.” Mount Sinai began double-teaming the Warriors ball carrier once they finally got possession and forced 17 turnovers in the first half. After Comsewogue’s Julia Fernandes scored off a Dorney assist to cut Mount Sinai’s lead to 4-1, senior Camryn Harloff began to attack, scoring two straight of her team-high four goals to increase the advantage. Mitchell

assisted on two of them as the Mustangs scored five times in a 15-minute span. “I like being in the middle, and Morgan and I work really well together,” said Harloff, who’s heading to the NCAA’s No. 1-ranked team, Stony Brook University, in the fall. “When her older sister [Kasey Mitchell] was on the team I worked well with her, too. We just click.” Kasey Mitchell, a current Stony Brook lacrosse player, and Harloff, will be teammates again soon. Mount Sinai spread out the assault with senior attack Meaghan Tyrrell also scoring a hat trick, and her younger sister Emma adding two goals and an assist. Twin defenders Meaghan and Kirsten Scutaro picked up the

pace to get to slides that blocked Comsewogue from getting close to the cage the rest of the way. “I think we bounced back from our loss, which we really needed,” Harloff said. “I think we met their intensity, and I think we played as a team.” Behind head coach Al Bertolone who eclipsed 100 career wins with a 14-7 triumph over Christian Brothers Academy April 15, Mount Sinai moves to 7-1 overall and 6-1 in Division II. The Mustangs travel to Sayville April 26 for a 4:30 p.m. game. “We have to take it play by play and realize how we got ourselves here,” Mitchell said. “It’s focusing on those little things. We set the bar so high, and we need to continue to reach it.”

Rocky Point baseball continues to honor former student for her kindness with memorial game BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Hundreds came out to show support for a local girl who gave to others. In 2011, Rocky Point High School graduate Susie Facini died of a sudden heart attack. She was 19 years old. Since then, the Eagles and Mount Sinai’s baseball team have faced off each year to raise money for a scholarship in the name of a girl who was known for her immediate impact on everyone she met. “All of them universally buy into what we’re trying to get across, and that is kindness,” said Facini’s father Peter, who tossed a ceremonial first pitch. “It takes courage to be kind sometimes — to step out of your comfort zone and reach out to somebody. And conversely, if you’re in trouble and you need help, you need to be able to ask somebody for help. It’s a difficult world and these kids give us great [hope].” Without warning, Facini had felt her heart race and passed out just seconds later. Despite efforts by her mother Bernadette, a registered nurse, Facini was unable to be revived. The mother said she’s moved each and every year by how the community and the teams react to the game, especially now that most of the current student-athletes had never met her daughter. “It comes down through the teachers, the parents; ‘Who is this girl, what does she mean to people and why?’ and they all do it proudly,” she said. “We are humbled

This event is really wonderful, and we’re lucky.” Rocky Point senior pitcher and outfielder Ryan Callahan dedicated his time and efforts, taking part in the fundraiser that gathered $500 for the scholarship through food sales and raffles. “I didn’t know her, but anyone you talk to says she was such a great person,” Callahan said. “I heard from everyone who’d known her that she was such an amazing human being, always so kind to everyone and left such a big and lasting impact on people. This is just our way to memorialize that.” Jessica LaCascia, Facini’s longtime friend and classmate, said it’s the type of event for which her friend would’ve been first in line. “She would be dancing in the dugout like they are,” she said, pointing to the teammates that shook their hips to the music that played between each inning. “Susie was friends with everybody — there was not a stranger in her life. She was just such a bright light. Anytime she entered a room you couldn’t help but laugh; she commanded all of the attention. [I look around] and I don’t know anyone here, so I’m so thankful for all

the people here coming out to celebrate what her life meant.” Donations to the Live Like Susie Memorial Scholarship can be made in person or by mail to the high school at 90 Rocky PointYaphank Road, Rocky Point, NY, 11778. Bill Landon contributed reporting

BY BILL LANDON The Eagles know that if Joe Grillo has the ball, they’re in good hands. The starting pitcher tossed seven strikeouts over six innings, not allowing a run on five hits, and walked three in the Rocky Point baseball team’s 5-2 win over visiting Kings Park April 23. The senior put in work on both sides of the ball. He also went 1-for-2 with an RBI and two walks to help the Eagles remain

atop the League VI leaderboard. Rocky Point sits at 8-2, while Kings Park drops to 8-5 after the first of a three-game series. “Joe just had good stuff — he was pitching [for] contact, his pitch count was down,” Rocky Point head coach Andrew Aschettino said. “We certainly didn’t play our best baseball game today, which makes the win that much more satisfying. We’re capable of playing a more complete game. We struggled to get the blow to put the game out of reach.” Rocky Point peppered the scoreboard across the first four innings to take a 4-0 lead into the top of the fifth, with almost everyone in the lineup contributing to the score. Grillo got on base with a walk to start things off in the first and was brought home on a single by senior third baseman Mike Gunning. Grillo hit an RBI-single before stealing second with two outs in the single, stole third after classmate Brett bottom of the second, with sophomore Harmon’s walk to put runners at the short stop Dillon Cassidy on third, and corners, and junior Andrew Bianco brought after senior center fielder Ryan Callahan them home with a shot deep to right field drew a walk to load the to cut the lead in half, 4-2. bases, Gunning was also In the top of the sixth, walked to bring home Casthe Kingsmen once again sidy for a 3-0 lead.

some ground balls helped shut the door,” Aschettino said. “And we were able to close it out on our second chance at a double play, so to end it the way we did was huge.” Grillo said even when Kings Park made it a two-run game, and despite having to pitch his way out of trouble twice, he never thought his game was in jeopardy. “I had faith in my fielders at all times, and my arm felt good today — I felt confident the whole time,” he said. “[But we have to work on] our situational at-bats, we have to do a lot more to make better contact and if we continue to have sound pitching we’ll be there.” Rocky Point traveled to Kings Park April 25 for game two, but results were not available by press time. The final game of the series is slated for 4 p.m. back on the Eagles’ turf today, April 26.

Protecting Long Island’s waterways and way of life

Planning to avoid battles A recurring battle along the North Shore that we’re noticing is the struggle communities go through to maintain historical characteristics while also satisfying modern business needs. Where town or village codes may be lacking to maintain historical and/or architectural cohesion, community leaders are recognizing the importance of creating visioning plans. Our hope is that the want for sense of place is mixed with the needs of businesses in order to fill empty storefronts when crafting each plan in order to create a healthy mix. Setting up guidelines to maintain its architectural heritage and cohesion is something Port Jefferson Village is paying attention to. At the end of last year, a draft resolution based on a meeting of the village’s architectural review committee was introduced. If passed, it would require new buildings in the village’s commercial districts to adhere to designs consistent with Port Jeff’s “Victorian, maritime heritage” and to avoid a “hodgepodge” of buildings. The policy is far from complete but standards are being discussed, and that’s a good start. Constructing a visioning plan, with the assistance of residents and business owners, would be beneficial for revitalization in areas like Broadway in Rocky Point. Setauket and Stony Brook residents took a step in the right direction when community leaders, residents and business owners met in 2016 and 2017 to create the Route 25A Three Village Area Visioning Report. The report, approved by the Brookhaven Town Board and pending the adoption of a land-use study by the town’s planning department, creates guidelines for issues that affect the Three Village area including maintaining cohesive architecture. It gave the Three Village Civic Association some backup when it opposed the owners of a Shell gas station in Setauket on Route 25A applying for variances to the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals. The company submitted proposed plans to construct a large canopy and a lighted electric sign at the gas station. The board closed an April 18 hearing without a decision and, according to town guidelines, has 62 days to make one. While the owners say most gas stations have canopies, residents at the hearing provided evidence to the contrary along Route 25A between St. James and Port Jefferson. If the gas station doesn’t get its way with its plans, we doubt it will vacate the premises. But what about other cases when a business owner feels an addition would attract more customers? This is when a visioning plan created with history in mind, but also present business needs can have the most impact. During discussions, compromise may be the key. Northport Village has been able to strike such an agreement. Last summer, the village board was approached about building a hotel at 225 Main St. — something unheard of before then. While residents criticized the proposed plans, the village approved a code modification to make way for the inn. Then the village’s architectural review board toured the 1950s building to determine firsthand if it had any historic value, before allowing the proposed plans to move forward. With some discussion, civic-minded folks with a respect for historical aspects can keep business districts from looking like an unattractive mixture of buildings. Taking in the concerns of business owners, can keep those buildings filled.

For all who live on Long Island, especially everyone who grew up here, we know our waterways are more than a summer destination — our waterways are a critical component of our way of life. As the longest and largest island in the contiguous United States, our more than 600 miles of coastline have been forever ingrained in our culture and economy. The economic value supported by our waterways are how many Long Islanders support their families and put food on the table, and as the weather warms and we quickly approach the summer months, we are reminded of the important role protecting and preserving our area’s natural resources have on the livelihoods of Long Islanders. The Long Island Sound alone supports tens of billions of dollars in economic value per year. Restoring this critical waterway, which has suffered from pollution and overdevelopment for too many years, is important to improving our area’s water quality and restoring our natural habitats. As co-chair of the Long Island Sound Caucus, I announced $2.04 million in Environmental Protection Agency grants for governments and community groups to improve the health and vitality of the Long Island Sound. These grants will treat 439,000 gallons of water runoff, reducing more than 15,600 pounds of nitrogen and collecting 2,800 pounds of floating trash.

These grants and programs like the Long Island Sound Program and National Estuary Program play a vital role in improving water quality and restoring wetlands. The Long Island Sound Program restores local beaches, protects wildlife and prioritizes urgent and challenging issues that threaten the ecological and economic wellbeing of coastal areas, including nitrogen, harmful algae blooms and flooding or wetland loss. The National Estuary Program is another important wetlands protection program established by the Clean Water Act. This program provides local grants for 28 estuaries in the U.S. that the EPA recognized to be of “national significance” due to threatened status from pollution and overdevelopment. On Long Island’s East End, there are two estuaries: the Long Island Sound and Peconic. The National Estuary Program is the primary funding source for the Peconic Estuary Program. Last year, I secured full funding for the National Estuary Program at $26.5 million and doubled funding for the Long Island Sound program to $8 million. In addition to safeguarding our waterways, we must support those who rely on these waterways to make a living. The New York Sea Grant program, supported by federal grants, works with local shellfish farmers, fishermen, watermen and other businesses in

the coastal economy to grow and sustain their business models. For Long Island’s fishermen, we must reform federal regulation, such as the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which relies on flawed data and fails to take into account the resurgence of fish populations. Year after year, New York anglers have been put at a great disadvantage, suffering at the hands of lower quotas than neighboring states. That means when two boats are fishing next to each other, one is allowed to catch up to double the amount of the other because it is landing the fish in New Jersey or Connecticut instead of New York. For me, growing up on Long Island, enjoying the beauty of Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge, Smith Point County Park and so many natural treasures in our area, I am constantly reminded that to be able to provide each generation with the same privilege, we must be good stewards of Long Island’s environment. In order to safeguard our way of life, we must protect the industries on which Long Island was founded and the waterways these industries rely on. As the weather changes and weekenders flock east, we must remember that for us, Long Island and it’s precious natural resources, are so much more than a place to visit, it’s what makes Long Island our home.

Sheriff Toulon: I’m investing in crime prevention Each year, hundreds of thousands of people are released from jails and prisons throughout the United States. Nearly two thirds of these individuals will be rearrested within three years — perpetuating a cycle of crime and recidivism that impacts public safety, burdens taxpayers and creates generational instability. This is not surprising given the data: 68 percent of inmates participating in a rehabilitation program at the county jail report they have a close family member that has been incarcerated, 92 percent admit to a drug problem and 63 percent have a mental health condition. Other common issues include homelessness, employment insecurity and learning deficits. Fortunately, calls for criminal justice reforms have gained momentum throughout the nation, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are in agreement

on many proposals. If the goal of criminal justice reform is to reduce the number of individuals caught up in the cycle of crime, incarceration and recidivism, then there must be a corresponding investment in crime prevention, re-entry and reducing roadblocks to successful reintegration. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has taken the lead on these issues. His 2018 Criminal Justice Reform Package includes several crime prevention reforms directed toward at-risk youth that I believe would greatly improve public safety in Long Island communities. The proposal includes expanded after-school programs, vocational training opportunities, gang prevention education and comprehensive case management services for immigrant youth, often targeted by gangs like MS-13. As corrections professionals, we must also do our part to improve the way that inmates are

prepared to re-enter society after serving time in jail and prison. Last month I announced that I would soon be implementing a systemwide discharge model at the county jail that would link sentenced inmates with service providers in their communities, provide more vocational and rehabilitative programs, as well as connections to faith-based organizations. I will also be implementing a special Young Adult Program to prevent future criminal involvement. By addressing the known behaviors and circumstances that often underlie criminal behavior, and by investing more in crime prevention, we will go a long way toward shutting the proverbial revolving door of generational crime and incarceration.

OPINION

A brief encounter with an outraged motorist

T

he morning routine for all four of us was slightly off kilter. My daughter, who usually doesn’t have the energy to complain about starting her day, suggested that she really needed a day off. Sorry, but that wasn’t going to happen. Besides, she doesn’t generally want a day at home because she feels as if she would fall behind in her classes and would rather keep pace. I dropped her off at school as she groaned something to the effect of, “Bye, have a good day, I hate this.” I returned to By Daniel Dunaief pick up my wife and take her to the train. She was also slightly behind schedule. My son came “elephanting”

D. None of the above

down the stairs. It’s an expression we use that is exactly as it sounds. He throws his feet so heavily and loudly on the steps that the house shakes until he reaches the first floor, turns hard to his right twice and collapses into his chair. My wife and I raced out of the house two minutes behind our usual departure time. Two minutes? How was I supposed to make it to a train that is only early when we’re late? It’s Murphy’s law of trains. Whatever can go wrong with the commute does go wrong and, often, in conjunction with other problems. We came to the final light seconds before the train was scheduled to pull in. We reached the traffic light just as it turned red, in that small window when all the lights are red at the same time. Despite the line to my left waiting for a green light, I made a right on red and pulled into the intersection behind another car waiting to make the

immediate left into the train station. Unfortunately, the cars on the other side of the street hadn’t left an opening for the frantic commuters to reach the station. When their light changed, the traffic immediately started moving, blocking us from making the turn. My wife considered getting out, racing across the street and trotrunning through the parking lot. The cars speeding by near her door made that impossible. A car behind me honked, moved to our right and slowly passed. A woman in her 60s flipped us the bird. Do we still do that? Do we still raise our middle finger to strangers? I do it to my computer when it’s frozen and to my phone when it’s not allowing me to respond to an email or text, or when it adds an error to one of my emails because it retyped a name into something potentially problematic. But this woman, with her tight lips, curled and dyed hair, and menacing

eyes, slowly rolled past me, extending the curse finger just in front of her left shoulder. That raised digit was so stiff, long and rigid that it looked it could have just as easily have been a weapon as a gesture. I was stunned to react immediately. Then a few responses ricocheted around my head as my wife raced out of the car: “Sorry? Right back at you, sweetheart.” ... “You know what you can do with that finger.” It’s possible her day had, or was expected to have, much bigger problems than mine. I am sorry I upset her so much that she needed to express her outrage. Or maybe I gave her a chance to be angry at something other than herself, her family, her boss or the people who work for her. Could I have done her a favor, providing a target for her anger? I don’t know her story, but I do know that my day suddenly seemed less problematic.

United States, where education is viewed as the ladder to success, a traditional college education at a fine college has always been ranked at the top of the pyramid. Those schools are also the most expensive because they are mainly private. There are various scholarships to help, but for most without adequate resources those schools can be out of reach. Then there are public universities, many of which are exemplary and much cheaper, particularly if you live in state. And three cheers for the two-year community colleges that can carry you halfway to a college degree with truly minimum expense. There are also work-study schools that may take longer to graduate from, but who is holding a stopwatch on your life? Anyway, what you get out of college is directly proportional to what you put in. Like the computer expression, it’s garbage in, garbage out. So what is the bottom line here? What can you expect to get out of a good, traditional college? For starters, there is knowledge, knowledge about almost everything known to humans at the time you attend. It’s there for the asking,

assuming there is room for you to enroll in the classes of your choice. And if you go on to college reasonably soon after you graduate from high school, you can focus on acquiring the knowledge of your choice without the responsibilities of a spouse, a car, a house, children, a dog and making a living. In college, you have a roof over your head, your meals are prepared and the lawn is mowed for you. The knowledge you choose to acquire may or may not turn out to be directly applicable to the work that you eventually do, but it will certainly contribute to your understanding of your world — scientifically, culturally, historically, economically, politically, and that will give you profound satisfaction. If your job depends on what you know rather than how much you can lift, knowledge will extend your work life, at the senior end when those whose bodies can no longer respond to physical tasks may face uncertain “golden years.” Learning, of course, doesn’t depend on or stop with a college education. But appreciation for the value of knowledge grows as we age. Boy, how I wish I could live again those college years. Now I would know why I was there.

To be or not to be all that you can be

I

t actually makes me cringe when I hear discussions questioning whether a college education is worth the expense. Yes, college loans carried by students after they graduate are astronomical and unprecedented. The average student loan debt for the Class of 2016, for example, is $37,172, up 6 percent from the preceding year. Americans owe, in total, more than $1.48 trillion in student loans spread out over 44 million borrowers, more than the $620 billion owed on credit cards, according to figures obtained from Student By Leah S. Dunaief the Loan Hero website. Average monthly student loan repayment after graduation, for borrowers 20 to 30 years of age, is $351. Those are, of course, mammoth numbers that are hard to conceive.

Between you and me

But how about this for comparison: Mortgage debt is $8.8 trillion. You can move out of a house, but you only have one head. And what you fill that head with can determine the quality of the rest of your life. Your house may contain your financial equity, but your knowledge base and critical thinking make up your life’s equity. I know the stories about the college dropouts who become billionaires. Good for them, they don’t have to worry about money. But that is part of the point I am trying to make. Education is not only about money, about the job you will hold or the amount of toys you will own by the time you die. Education is partially about income, as statistics prove. College grads earn more in the course of their lives than high school grads. And while today’s auto mechanic, who goes to a vocational school and who is really a kind of computer engineer can earn as much, perhaps, as a doctor or lawyer, money is not the only value in life. Satisfaction, a key ingredient of happiness, is another. So what do you get from a college education? Is it worth the price? First let’s talk about price. In the
