Corrections Two articles, entitled “Two running for two seats on Mount Sinai’s BOE” and “Districts deliver adopted school budget numbers” that ran in the May 3 edition contained incorrect information about time and place of the Mount Sinai School District budget vote. The May 15 budget and trustee vote will be from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Mount Sinai Elementary School, located at 118 North Country Road in Mount Sinai. In an article in the same edition titled “Miller Place trustee running unopposed for his seat” contained incorrect information about what time and where the budget and trustee vote will take place. It will be May 15 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the North Country Road Middle School gym, at 191 North Country Rd. in Miller Place. We regret the errors.

The Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society dog walk will raise funds to repair and restore the windows on the historic William Miller House, above.

EDUCATION An ongoing bond referendum project has aided in Albert G. Prodell Middle School’s makeover. Thanks to the $48.5 million bond voted on in 2015, repairs and expansions have led to many changes across the district, including renovations to the middle school library by the end of this summer, and a new cafeteria and kitchen addition by Jan. 1, 2019. “It’s been a very exciting time for the district with the bond work and the renovations,” Superintendent Gerard Poole said. “Opening up the schools this fall was great with those new vibrant spaces for our students, so we’re looking forward to the work this summer.” The construction is being headed by South Huntington-based Park East Construction, and according to Poole, the district is currently in phase three of four and right on schedule. The middle school’s library will see an internal redesign. Currently, the library walls only reach three quarters of the way to the ceiling, and the plan is for the new walls to go all the way up. The overhead lighting and circulation desks will be replaced. “I think part of it is modernizing it, and the other part of it is redesigning it into an instructional space,” Poole said. “The library is the heart of the building, so modernizing it is going to be great for the instruction of the students.” The extension for the kitchen and cafeteria will include a new freezer and utilities. The kitchen, and its staff, will provide a health-based menu much like the cafeteria at Wading River Elementary School, that was completed in summer 2018. Poole said that the kitchen may provide opportunities down the road for culinary classes. “Whenever you make a space in the school, people seem to make use of it,” Poole said. “I wouldn’t rule it out.” The middle school is also scheduled to receive parking improvements with the addition of 20 spots in the rear of the building and main office, guidance

More changes on the horizon for SWR school district As part of an ongoing Shoreham-Wading River bond referendum voted on in 2015, clockwise from above, asphalt was replaced on Albert G. Prodell Middle School’s track; a new drop-off point was added at Wading River Elementary School, where Principal Louis Parrinello can be seen greeting a student; and school classrooms, like those at Principal Christine Carlson’s Miller Avenue School, were expanded to include bathrooms. department and nurse’s office quarters. Cracked track asphalt and roof repairs were already completed last summer. Water fountains, carbon monoxide detectors, a phone system and additional AEDs were also added at Prodell.

Bond construction work to date

Phase one of the bond project was completed in 2016 with the reconstruction of Shoreham-Wading River High School’s tennis courts and roof. The high school’s football field was also upgraded with new turf. Phase two of the project included renovations at both Miller Avenue and Wading River elementary schools. Outside, Miller Avenue’s parking lot was reconstructed with additional parking in the front as well as a new bus loop that goes to the rear of the building. Inside, the school was expanded by the addition of new kindergarten classrooms, and some pre-existing classrooms were enlarged to fit internal bathrooms. Bathrooms in the front of the school have also been made handicap accessible. Miller Avenue Elementary

School Principal Christine Carlson said the change has helped students feel less segregated from their peers. “We had students where the only bathroom they could use in the whole school was the one in the nurse’s office because it was the only one accessible to them,” Carlson said. “It was bad, because

those students just wanted to be like everyone else. This has definitely made a difference.” Wading River Elementary School also saw the construction of several new classrooms and the renovation of several existing classrooms. The school’s floor was redesigned and part of the roof was refurbished. The main courtyard had major flooding issues, so a new water filtration system was installed. The building also saw the addition of a new kitchen and cafeteria. Kitchen staff arrive early in the morning baking bow-tie pasta with fresh basil pesto, grilled chicken, steamed carrots and fresh fruit. Wading River Elementary School Principal Louis Parrinello said that the renovations have made a huge impact on the morale of the school. “When you’re not focused on facilities, of floods in the courtyard or a bad roof, you can turn your attention to the things that really matter — the students,” Parrinello said. “Now we can look to work on new programs and activities going into next year.” Phase four of the bond project is expected to start next year. Those plans include a redesign of Shoreham-Wading River High School’s parking lot and traffic circle. The district still has to finalize the draft for the plans and get state approval, before receiving bids from potential construction companies.

SPORTS

Miller Place’s Liantonio returns to lacrosse field Thomas Liantonio was overcome with emotion as his lacrosse teammates rushed to give him a hug after his first goal. The excitement followed a series of unfortunate events fit for a Lemony Snicket novel. After undergoing brain surgery just three months earlier, the Miller Place resident and current Long Island University Post attack led the Pioneers with four goals and an assist in an 18-7 home win against University of the District of Columbia on his return April 17. “Scoring my first goal back was definitely a special moment,” he said. “To be given the opportunity to start and produce off that opportunity is something I’m very fortunate for.” Prior to the surgery, the junior said he was experiencing headaches and eye pain but didn’t think too much of it. As problems persisted he decided to get checked out and was shocked when doctors told him he had a brain tumor that would require surgery. DESIREE KEEGAN

“I was scared, taken aback,” he said, recalling when he heard the news Jan. 2. “I’m a big believer of doing stuff to get your mind off things, and I did what I could to keep things as normal as possible for me. I realized you can’t get down on yourself — you have to keep looking forward to the next day and roll with the punches.” He returned home following a few days in the hospital, and got started on the path to recovery. Long Island University first-year head coach Eric Wolf said he felt devastated for his student-athlete, especially knowing Liantonio also missed the 2017 season as a result of a heart condition. “I know how hard he had worked after missing all of last season,” Wolf said. “I know in the front of Thomas’ mind he was thinking he would come back this season, and it was more so in the back of mine. Bottom line: I just wanted him to be healthy. If he could ever play again that would just be icing on the cake.” Almost exactly a year prior, Jan. 10, 2017, Liantonio found out he had myocarditis, inflammation of the middle layer of the heart wall caused by a viral infection that can weaken the heart and lead to heart attacks, heart failure or sudden death if his blood pressure were to rise too high. He said he was having some chest pains, and again didn’t think anything of it, assuming he had a respiratory infection. After visiting a walk-in medical center, he found out he had an irregular heartbeat. Following an EKG, MRI and cardiogram, he was told of the infection. “To see him get blindsided by two things back-to-back and see how it was affecting his morale, as a parent, that’s very disheartening,” his father Steve Liantonio said. “He’s a strong kid, and luckily he has great friends and people at LIU Post that he relied on to keep his spirits up, keep him positive. We thought good things were going to come for him, and it worked out.”

Comeback follows sidelines from heart condition, brain surgery

Thomas Liantonio, clockwise from above left with his mom Maria, after brain surgery and playing for Miller Place, missed his last two seasons of college lacrosse. The Pioneers’ head coach said after a week-and-a-half of practice, he could see his player shaking off the rust. Wolf first opted to sideline Liantonio after he practiced at midfield and, after a night’s sleep, decided he needed him out on the field. Liantonio, who first picked up a lacrosse stick in second grade, said he couldn’t imagine not playing the sport again. “I love the fast pace,” he said. “I saw the opportunity I had to go far in the sport and wanted to take it. I didn’t think I’d make it back to the field this season, but getting cleared, I was so happy I didn’t know what to do.” Given the amount of physical contact in lacrosse, Liantonio’s dad thought a return to the field was risky, afraid of a push or helmet-to-helmet contact, but said the return also provided a lesson to his son. “You can only hold somebody back for so long,” he said. “He was strong-willed and after several conversations he felt determined and healthy enough to do it. At some point in time

you just have to let go and say, ‘Go for it.’ This proves when you put your mind to something you can overcome anything.” Wolf said he asked current attackmen, who’d had successful campaigns up to that point, to let Liantonio return to his rightful position. He said his players were selfless, and he was moved by what Liantonio brought to the team in his first game in nearly two years. “I was shocked, but not surprised given who Thomas is,” he said. “He played awesome. The emotional lift that he gave our team could not be measured.” The coach said while there’s no tiptoeing around contact in the sport, his player was all in, adding he’s seen improvement and his player’s condifence growing with each game. “He works hard, has a positive attitude and makes his teammates better — he does everything we ask,” Wolf said. “To see a guy go through what he has gone through over the past two years and to keep persisting through real adversity ... it’s incredible.”

Above, former Smithtown Animal Shelter director, Susan Hansen. At top, Smithtown Public Safety officials investigate and take over of the animal shelter Feb. 7, 2017. from former director, George Beatty, who stepped down in June 2015, after more than 30 years. His resignation came after heavy criticism from Smithtown residents who alleged he was doing an inadequate job, and said the conditions animals lived in and how they were cared for at the shelter were unacceptable. It cites the town increased the shelter’s budget by 14.6 percent in 2017 once Hansen was gone. As of April 30, town spokeswoman Nicole Garguilo confirmed the town has spent $76,086.10 on upgrades to the shelter since February 2017. Upgrades include renovating the director’s offices into a meet-and-greet area, a complete renovation of the veterinary office, new dog beds and replacement of the cat condominiums. The town promoted two part-time animal control officers to full-time positions, according to Garguilo, accounting for some of the budgetary increase. The town has plans to replace the water main leading to the town property — also the site of the firematic training grounds and senior citizen center — to improve service. This would allow for future installation of a fire sprinkler system in the shelter, Garguilo said. There are also plans to construct a TNR building to house its trap, neuter and return program in 2019.

The former director of the Smithtown animal shelter is suing the town, her former co-workers and Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo (R) who she claims were personally hostile in their actions toward her. Rocky Point resident Susan Hansen, who served as the supervisor of the Town of Smithtown’s Animal Shelter and Adoption Center for under two years, filed a lawsuit April 25 in United States District Eastern Court. Hansen is claiming her First and Fourth Amendment rights were violated when she was arrested for alleged criminal trespassing at the shelter after she was suspended as director in February 2017. “They caused criminal proceedings, including arrest and prosecution, to be instituted against Hansen, not for any legitimate concerns to seek justice,” the lawsuit reads, “but rather for collateral and malicious purposes.” Hansen, who supervised the town’s animal shelter from August 2015 until February 2017, was arrested for allegedly criminally trespassing at the facility during a volunteer orientation session Feb. 18, 2017. Upon arriving at volunteer orientation, Hansen said she was informed by her former co-workers that she was not allowed to be in the building, and willingly left. She was arrested by Suffolk County police March 10, 2017. The criminal trespassing charges against Hansen were later dismissed upon the Suffolk County district attorney’s request. Hansen claims she began being harassed by Inzerillo shortly after she was elected to the town board in 2016. Hansen said the councilwoman, who serves as co-liaison to the shelter, inappropriately criticized her management style in front of visitors during a Feb. 11, 2016, tour of the facility. This continued through several emails and confrontations, according to the court records, before Hansen had an attorney reach out to former Supervisor Pat Vecchio to address the situation in January 2017 — weeks before she was suspended. Inzerillo said she had no comment on the lawsuit, stating that she had not yet been served the papers or a chance to read it. Smithtown Town Attorney’s office had no comment on the pending litigation. The lawsuit also alleges that the town purposefully “hamstrung” Hansen’s work by not giving her the necessary funds and staffing to improve the heavily criticized conditions at the animal shelter. “Long after Hansen’s departure from the animal shelter, independent animal rights advocates were expressing their opinions that the animal shelter was not being run properly, thus, it is more likely than not that Hansen was correct that conditions at the shelter (which were abysmal long before Hansen arrived) were caused by upper management’s failure to assist the animal shelter,” the lawsuit reads. Hansen had taken over the shelter

Kenneth Batchelor, previously of Port Jefferson, and member of Mt. Sinai Congregational Church, was 86

Taking home an Arbor Day tree seedling In celebration of Arbor Day April 27, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (CRocky Point) joined Rocky Point Lions Club at the Wading River Elementary School and the Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School to speak with students about Arbor Day and to hand out tree seedlings. The Lions Club sponsored the event to generate interest in Arbor Day, working to enhancing the local environment.

More than 900 fourth-grade students from five North Shore schools are joining other students across the nation by taking home a free Norway spruce tree seedling to plant at their homes as part of the Fourth Grade Foresters USA program, which was created to provide a simple and inexpensive way for any individual, business or organization to send fourthgrade students home with a tree of their own to plant and care for.

Albert G. Prodell Middle School SWR SCHOOL DISTRICT

Welcoming Madrid exchange students A total of 19 eighth-grade students from Madrid arrived to Albert G. Prodell Middle School before the Easter and Passover holiday for a two-week exchange program. With a calendar filled with pizza parties, bowling, ice skating and beach visits, students also learned the history of the United States during a visit to the monuments and memorials in Washington, D.C., and iconic New York City sites.

Marc Dinowitz, the exchange program’s coordinator, and parents served as hosts. “It has been an honor and privilege to lead this 35th year of our great communitywide SWR-Madrid exchange program,” Dinowitz said. “To see firsthand the friendships, bonding and multigenerational connections made has been awe inspiring. These eighthgraders have transformed in ways they have yet to see or truly appreciate.”

Happy Mother’s Day

Kenneth Batchelor, 86, of Nobleboro, Maine, died in his home April 7 surrounded by family and friends. Born May 30, 1931, in Bramley, Surrey, England, he was the son of Arthur and Dorothy (née Peters) Batchelor. He met and fell in love with his future wife Irene at technology college in England. They married on Aug. 21, 1954, and emigrated to the United States from England via the S.S. United States in September 1967 with their three daughters. They eventually settled in Port Jefferson, where they lived for many years. Batchelor attained a bachelor of science honors degree in physics from University of London, England in 1953. He worked at Rutherford High Energy Laboratory in Chilton, Oxfordshire, England, from 1953-67. In 1965, he and his family spent a 15-month work sabbatical at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This eventually led to a full-time offer to design, commission and operate a new proton linear accelerator. Batchelor’s career allowed him many opportunities to travel to laboratories around the world, collaborating with fellow scientists. He visited China, Switzerland, Japan, France, Germany and England, among many locations within the U.S. He made contributions to “Encyclopedia of Physics,” published by both McGraw-Hill and Macmillan, and authored or collaborated on more than 100 papers in scientific journals and conferences. His crowning achievement was being a guest on Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show” with Steve Carell in 2000, in a comedy piece about his work with particle accelerators. Batchelor was a competitive athlete who enjoyed soccer, softball, tennis, bowling and golf. He coached youth soccer teams for the Village of Port Jefferson for several years. His family can attest to the fact that he was a fierce table tennis competitor, and he taught all his grandchildren how to score a goal at soccer. Batchelor is fondly remembered by his family and friends as a patient, quiet, loving man, with a wicked sense of humor. He loved the outdoors, and ensured that his family learned to appreciate nature as well. The family enjoyed numerous camping trips and hikes around New England. Batchelor also loved animals, domesticated and wild. He was a strong advocate for social justice and wildlife conservation. He volunteered his time and donated money to low-income housing organizations; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; soup kitchens and local food pantries; land preservation and conservation groups; peace protests; and hunger walks. Batchelor was an active member and trustee of Mount Sinai Congregational Church for many years, and later at Edgecomb Congregational Church in

Kenneth Batchelor Maine. He was moderator of the Suffolk Association of the New York Conference of the United Church of Christ from 1997-99. In the late 1980s, Batchelor was a founding member and ultimately served as president of the Suffolk County Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. He was a hands-on member, learning the ropes by assisting on a Lower East Side building project in New York City. In 1988 he attended a Habitat annual international meeting in Chicago, where the Suffolk County chapter was officially recognized. It was following this meeting that the real work of the chapter began, and Batchelor was actively involved in building multiple homes within Suffolk County over the ensuing years for families in need. He is survived by his wife of almost 64 years, Irene; daughters Lynne Warkentien of Waldoboro, Maine, Susan Wells of Jamesport, and Wendy Innes of Wading River; grandchildren Sarah Innes of Astoria; Rachel Wells of Rocky Point; Geoffrey Wells of Jamesport; and Amy Innes of Wading River; sisters Iris Wallace and Janet Childe; and nieces and nephews in England. A celebration of Batchelor’s life will be held May 26 at Mount Sinai Congregational Church, located at 233 North Country Road in Mount Sinai, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Michael J.

SPORTS ‘The way the game is played is like nothing else. No other sport can you physically feel the effort and intensity of your opponent.’ — Tom Nealis

BILL LANDON

Miller Place wide receiver Tom Nealis, above, in a game against Shoreham-Wading River, and Wildcats quarterback and defensive back Xavier Arline, on left, in a game against the Panthers, are used to seeing each other out on the field. The 6-4 Nealis is usually covered by Arline in Suffolk Division IV matchups.

Arline, Nealis show off their football stuff Shoreham-Wading River, Miller Place three sport athletes stand out at Blue Chip Prospects Long Island combine BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM “By no means is Long Island considered a hot bed for football players, but we have a ton of talent here,” Shoreham-Wading River defensive back and quarterback Xavier Arline said, hoping to show off his skills on the gridiron at the Blue Chip Prospects Long Island football combine May 6. The event at Sachem High School North, put on in conjunction with the Suffolk County Coaches Association to showcase top Long Island football talent, ran the 70 athletes that attended through six stations before breaking off into specific position drills. The football players participated in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, standing broad jump, 185-pound bench press, 5-10-5-yard shuttle and 3-cone drill. Arline ran the second fastest 40-yard dash (4.55) and 5-10-5-yard time (4.41), behind Brandon Didier of North Babylon, who ran a 4.51 and had a 4.39. “Knowing I have a good foundation to build off of is confidence boosting,” the sophomore said. “It just shows that with

Miller Place junior Tom “The way the game is Nealis, a 6-foot 4-inch wide played is like nothing else,” receiver, ran a 4.91 40-yard Nealis said. “No other sport dash and had a time of 4.67 in can you physically feel the 5-10-5. the effort and intensity “It was great to be out on of your opponent. Seeing the football field again and these guys make it to elite it was cool to see a lot of programs opens my eyes to other top players and great the possibilities.” athletes there,” said Nealis, Arline said the success of who also plays baseball and more recent graduates who basketball. “I feel that playing have gone on to play Division baseball may have put me I football, like Sayville’s Jack at a slight disadvantage.

‘The best part for me is every kid really wants to be there and every kid wants to do great.’

he said. “I wanted to attend this event to gain experience, find my highs and lows and compete against myself. It created a baseline and foundation for me to build on as I begin the football recruiting process.” Hans Wiederkehr, Ethan’s father who is the president of the football coaches association, and a two-time Long Island championship winner while he was the head coach at Babylon, said since football doesn’t have travel teams, an event like this helps get student-athletes exposure. “I’ve always thought it was a great tool for all the kids,” he said of the combine, that’s in its 16th year. “The best part for me is every kid really wants to be there and every kid wants to do great. They all have hopes and dreams, and some leave with a reality check while others get to see how good they really are.” Arline said he thinks he has what it takes to shine at the next level in his favorite sport. “The most difficult part about the combine was not knowing what to expect — I had very little to no preparation going in,” he said. “With hard work, perseverance and a little luck I believe I can get there.”

SPORTS BILL LANDON

Clockwise from above, Justin Rinck; Christopher Gulli; Antony D’Angio; Ryan Wilson; and David Mazzella compete during Mount Sinai’s meet against Southampton May 2.

Mustangs track and field produces perfect season BY BILL LANDON This type of Mustangs likes to be pushed. The Mount Sinai track and field team feeds off the pressure in practice — touting it as one of the main reasons the boys have been able to stay undefeated. On May 8, the boys bested Ellwood-John Glenn on the road, 80-60, to finish the League VII season at a perfect 6-0. “We just have guys that work hard every day,” said junior Sean Higgins. “The coaches push us, and push us hard. They push us until we’re great.”

Mount Sinai 80 John Glenn 60

The junior was off to the races in a 102-34 win over visiting Southampton May 2, coming first in the 800-meter run and 1,600, and placed second in the 3,200. He also competed in the 4×400 relay His top finish was 5 minutes, 20 seconds in the mile. “It’s not my best,” he said. “So we’ve got to go back to work and train that much harder.” Junior Kenneth Wei on the other hand finished the Southampton meet with two bests. He broke the school record in the long jump with 21-10.75 and triple jump with a 43-10.5 leap. He also finished first in the 110 high hurdles. Head coach Lee Markowitz said Wei, who is at the top of his class, is the most coachable athlete he’s ever worked with, and defines what a scholar-athlete is. “Like my coaches say, it’s who wants it more,” Wei said. “It’s the desire to compete — to go up against the best of the best, It’s what drives us to keep going.” Markowitz said Ryan Wilson is another junior who helps round out a strong, dedicated All-County class. Wilson is noted by his coach for his versatility. “Ryan is a gifted distance runner who is always willing to help the team,” the coach said. “He excels in both the 400 and 800 events and is always ready to jump into the 1,600 or relay event if it means securing a victory for the team.” Jack Pilon, one of seven seniors on a roster of nearly 60, said his Mustangs benefit greatly from having so many tools in the toolbox.

“We have the depth,” he said. “Our sixth, seventh and eighth milers, they’re the ones out here with us every day doing the same amount of work, so I think that when other teams compete with us it’s difficult to keep up. We’ve got 10 guys that can go under five minutes in the mile — it’s hard to [compete] with that.” Wilson also flaunted his team’s dedication while backing up his coach’s claim of his thirst for competition. “Everyone comes to work and they train hard every day — they’re coming for their own reasons, whether it’s to get ready for

another sport or to improve their best times,” he said. “We’re all trying to build the best program the we’ve ever had. We have a strong program, but we’re also building for the future.” Markowitz said the practice atmosphere is contagious, as the juniors continue to build for that future Wilson was talking about. “It’s the work ethic — there’s zero complaining,” he said. “When they’re successful, it confirms for them that when we work hard, we win. We have a group, particularly of juniors, who if we tell them ‘You’ve got to run through a brick wall,’ they’ll say, ‘OK.’”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Babyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mindyâ&#x20AC;? were rescued from a home where dogs lived on the end of chains and were forced to breed. Now they are free to become playfulÂ petsÂ and loving companions. They are spayed and healthy and waiting for their forever home. These two are so bonded to each other that we would love to keep them together. Is your heart big enough for two?

OPINION Editorial

Mother knows best

With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, our editorial staff wanted to take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the powerful mothers and grandmothers who have shaped our lives. Rita J. Egan: Both my mother and I often find ourselves feeling as if we’re turning into my grandmother, and many times have uttered the words, “Grandma was right about that.” After my parents separated, I moved in with my maternal grandparents, so it’s no surprise my grandmother had as much of an influence on me as she did on my mother. It’s been said it takes a village to raise a child, and I agree. I am the person I am today thanks to not only my mother but my grandmother, my Aunt Eileen, friends’ mothers and so many who took me under their wings. So on Mother’s Day I say thank you not only to my mom but to all the women who made a difference in my life. Desirée Keegan: I don’t know where to begin, and it’s hard to find the words to say, but “Thank You” are very small ones for the sacrifices my mother has made every single day. Her kind support throughout the years, sharing in my triumphs and tears, has never gone unnoticed. I love the way she stops to listen, even if she doesn’t have the time. Or how she loves to make me laugh with her old jokes or terrible singing, especially when she knows I’m down. Watching a single mother be so selfless is envious, and even if I could be just a piece of what she is, I’d consider myself a success. Alex Petroski: When I was about 22 I irresponsibly made a huge mistake that cost me a job on my previous career path. The mistake was a result of laziness and immaturity, and I also knew I was comfortable at my retail job, making enough money to feed myself and do things with friends. When I told my mom about the mistake, it was in the context of being comfortable with staying at my retail job anyway, so no big deal. She didn’t take it nearly as lightly as I did. She challenged me to do something that would make her and my dad proud, and that conversation has been the guiding principle of my work life ever since. I can’t speak for her as far as if I’ve succeeded or not yet, but it will never be for a lack of effort. Thanks for knowing when to push me, Mom. Sara-Megan Walsh: It’s said that distance makes the heart grow fonder. This is the second Mother’s Day since my mom, Carol, moved south to Florida. While I’m not great at making regular phone calls, I miss being able to drop by the house on a Friday night to say hello and ask for your advice while hopefully snagging a free slice of pizza. You provide encouragement when I’m running ragged and gently push me to keep going. I love the homemade sweaters, but they aren’t a substitute for your hugs. Kyle Barr: Dear Mom, the way I know you love me is because you always worry. You worry about what I’m going to eat when I get home. You worry about if I’m getting enough sleep, if I take the time to be with friends, if my friends are treating me right, about what I want to do with my life. You worry if I am home too much, you worry if I’m gone too much. You worry about my student loans. You worry about my bank account. Worry runs like grains of sugar around your mouth and down your cheeks. It’s real, solid, sweet. I see it sparkling in your eyes when you look at me. Distilled, worry becomes pure empathy. At the beginning you gave me life and made it a part of yours. To worry is to make another person more important than yourself. You made me and in doing so made me a part of you. I couldn’t properly explain how much I love you. Perhaps you can see it when I worry. I worry that you don’t think enough about yourself. I worry that I would hurt you if I ever left home. I worry that you worry a little too much. At least please know that I love you because I worry.

Letters to the editor

Response: Drawing our attention away from guns Jim Soviero’s letter on the opioid tragedy, “Redirecting energy toward overdoses” in The Village Beacon Record May 3 edition is filled with non sequiturs and a few glaring omissions. What is his point? Is it to suggest that Jeff Sessions’ justice department reverse its new punitive approach to drug, particularly marijuana, users, and return to Obama’s more lenient policy? No. To show mercy to those jailed during the crack cocaine epidemic, let alone those jailed for marijuana possession? Never. To demand further prosecution of the Sackler family’s Purdue Pharma, which knowingly flooded our nation with OxyContin — the alternative to crystal meth and the real start of the opioid crisis — far in excess of legitimate medical needs? No. Purdue was fined $600 million in 2006 for criminally marketing OxyContin “with the intent to defraud or mislead,” a drop in the bucket of the $13 billion fortune it extracted from

the crime. So? Drug abuse is driven by despair: economic uncertainty, poverty and the family crises these provoke. And it costs about $500 billion a year. Does Soviero propose any government plan to ameliorate, let alone solve, these social problems? Of course not. Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Elijah Cummings’ bill provides for treatment, support and research. Soviero’s only goal here is to draw attention away from gun control by minimizing the effects of gun violence and incidentally, accusing the March for Our Lives protesters, whose success clearly disturbs him, of moral turpitude in not switching their campaign to opioids. Soviero first notes that overdose fatalities exceed gun homicides. And AR-15s account for only 400 of them. Tell that to the parents of teenagers in Parkland, or the parents of 20 six-year-olds in Newtown, Connecticut. So, what?

Lung cancer kills 150,000 annually, but we hear no criticism of tobacco companies. Soviero also does not mention gun suicides, about 22,000 annually: If there’s a gun handy, people will use it. Soviero makes no mention of gun trafficking at all: How illegal guns from lax “red” states kill in Chicago and New York, as Attorney General Eric Schneiderman found. In short, Soviero is a fervent supporter of the second half of the Second Amendment and an equally fervent opponent of the first half, which reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State.” We know this from his earlier letters opposing New York’s Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act regulating handgun magazine size and prohibiting assault rifles. Let him continue this advocacy but spare us the crocodile tears about opioid abuse.

Reduce court case backlog, address gang violence Dear Director James McHenry, On April 12, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement presented the Fiscal Year 2019 president’s budget request. The testimony included a commitment to open 75 new immigration courtrooms in 2018 to reduce the backlog of pending immigration cases. As [director of] the Executive Office for Immigration Review, [which] identifies locations for new immigration courts, we respectfully request you place at least one of these new locations on Long Island. According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, Suffolk and Nassau counties rank in the top 10 among all counties in the nation for pending cases before immigration courts, with 23,178 cases as of Dec. 31, 2017.

Suffolk and Nassau counties have absorbed a significant number of unaccompanied alien children with 1,219 being relocated in Nassau County and 1,472 going to sponsors in Suffolk County in 2017. Pending cases contribute to associated gang violence on Long Island as gang members target youth like UACs. While serving as Suffolk County’s police commissioner, now Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini stated in his testimony to the Committee on Homeland Security, “of a sampling of 143 active gang members, 89 entered the United States illegally and currently do not have legal status (39 of whom are UACs), 48 are of unknown immigration status, and 17 have legal status (temporary or otherwise).” An adequate

expansion of EOIR resources to Long Island would assist local law enforcement’s relationship with ICE to implement enacted immigration laws. The backlog in immigration courts is a result of years of policy failures under prior administrations. Effective immigration judge teams are necessary to carry out the U.S. Department of Justice’s statutory responsibility to prosecute administrative immigration cases. Suffolk and Nassau counties could efficiently use these resources to address the backlog as well as prioritize incoming cases related to gang violence. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Personal attacks are unproductive It is useful and permissible for our fellow townspeople to write letters to this fine newspaper so that various ideas, especially those involving political issues, can be openly discussed. However, I have come to believe that we should strictly avoid personal attacks on our neighboring citizens. Such attacks are usually pointless and unproductive, and they create unnecessary tensions. In recent years I have tried to

avoid regarding our newspaper as a boxing ring, as I sometimes regrettably did in the past. I now believe that personal attacks on our neighboring villagers should be avoided. On the other hand, it is perfectly acceptable to discuss publicly what politicians say, do or undo. We need to praise or criticize their words or deeds, since officeholders’ utterances and actions invariably result in

beneficial or disastrous consequences for the public. Politicians must never be ignored; they must be openly lauded or corrected because what they do or say or plan affects everyone, positively or negatively. Consequently, their statements, scribblings and ideas must be openly analyzed, debated and subjected to the judgment of the American people.

OPINION

Red Sox, Yankees fans feel October excitement in May

t’s only May and, despite the warm weather, it feels a bit like October around here, at least, if you talk to fans of the Yankees and Red Sox. The two best teams in baseball, as of earlier this week, were preparing o go head-to-head in a three-game series that seemed to have more on the line than a typical series between the heated rivals at this point in spring. The Red Sox had that incredibly hot start, winning 17 of their first 19 games, tearing up the league anyone who By Daniel Dunaief and dared to try to compete with them. The Yankees, meanwhile, started slowly, sputtering to a .500 record.

D. None of the above

And then the Yankees seemed to have gotten as hot as the weather, scoring runs in the clutch, pitching with confidence and bringing in rookies like Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar, who play more like seasoned veterans. On a recent evening, my wife and I made a quick stop to the grocery store. As we were walking out, a friend saw me in my Yankees sweatshirt. The friend asked if the team pulled out a win, even though they were losing 4-0 in the eighth inning. As my wife waited patiently, I recounted nearly every at bat that led to another improbable Yankees comeback. A man who worked at the supermarket came over to listen, put up his hand to high-five me and said he had a feeling they might come back. While the team measures the success of the season by the ability to win the World Series, the fans, particularly during a season with so much early promise, can bask in the excitement of individual games or series.

The first season, as the incredibly long 162 games from March through October is called, can include numerous highlights that allow fans to appreciate the journey, as well as the destination. Nothing is a given in a game or a season. We attend or watch any game knowing that the walk-off home run the rookie hit could just as easily have been an inning ending double play. Ultimately, the most important part of the season is the recognition that it is a game. You can see that when the players mob each other at the plate or smile through their interviews with the sideline reporters after a tight contest. Year after year, all these teams with all their fans hope the season ends with a victory parade. They want to be able to say, “I was there.” Ultimately, in life, that’s what we’re hoping for. Moments to cheer for friends and family, to celebrate victories and to enjoy these contests.

Indeed, the winners often look back on the moments when nothing came easily, when their team, their family or their opportunity seemed to be so elusive. These are occasions when nothing that seems to go right turns into those where everything goes according to plan. They don’t happen because you’ve got the right fortune cookie, put on the right socks or asked for some deity to help your team beat another team full of equally worthy opponents, whose fans utter the same prayers. They happen because of the hard work and dedication. They also often happen because people are taking great pride in doing their jobs and being a part of a team. Right now, it feels like these two blood rivals are well-matched, facing off in a May series that can bring the energy of October. And, hey, if you’re looking to connect with someone, put on a Yankees or Red Sox sweatshirt and head to the supermarket.

by that point and they came to accept the new arrangement, even were infrequently pleased with my new occupation. And since my office was only some five minutes from the house and three minutes from their school, I felt I could get to them quickly if they needed me. I was able to look in on them in the course of each day. In fact, I had more trouble convincing my mother than my children that it was acceptable to work both inside and outside the home. I just could never understand how all three unfailingly picked friends who lived on the farthest ends of the school district and had to be driven back and forth. That and the constant car pooling for games and music lessons made me grateful that I had learned to drive — not a typical skill among my urban classmates when I was growing up. I weathered their teenage years as best I could, sometimes marveling that only my children could make me scream (and my mother). At the same time, my husband and I vicariously enjoyed the children’s various successes: academic, musical and athletic. They were

blossoming into young adults and we were regularly irritated by them and immensely proud of them. As the children reached their later teenage years, the family dynamic shifted. My husband was terminally ill, and the children were forced to deal with death. My mother and my father had both passed on by then, and the boys had been deeply touched by their loss, but the death of a parent at a far younger age than expected for either their father or themselves struck me as a cruel trick. Somehow we had not lived up to our part of the parenting contract. I guess that was when my children started to become my friends. It probably would have happened around that age anyway, but we became allies in the face of adversity. And then life’s wonderful joys unfurled. ... They graduated, got jobs, found their loved ones and eventually made me a grandmother. That’s a club one can’t apply to oneself, but having arrived there, I can endlessly sing its praises. Bottom line: How ultimately satisfying it is for me to be a mom.

Scenes from a mother’s life

rom the time I was a young girl, I wanted to be a mother. The urge to hold and to love a baby, my baby, was a conscious one. I also had professional ambitions, so in those days, before women expected to be able to do it all, there was a bit of a conflict in my head. Curiously, while I don’t remember telling anyone about my maternal urges, I did mention it on my first date to the man I eventually married. He told me that he too By Leah S. Dunaief looked forward to having children, so the rest is history. When I did have my first child, I was quietly terrified. I was the caboose child in my parents’ families, meaning that my parents were older, and everyone in my generation was already born before I came on the scene. There were no babies for me

Between you and me

to practice on, I had never given a baby a bottle nor changed a diaper, and I was afraid I was inadvertently going to do some terrible harm to a helpless infant. It wasn’t until the baby’s one-month checkup, when the pediatrician exalted about how his development — size and weight — were “off the charts,” that I began to relax and believe the baby would survive my ignorance. After that the parenting urge was so fulfilling that we did it twice more in record time. Judging from my friends’ tales of their children, we had it easy with three boys. They were exceedingly energetic but never moody, didn’t hold a grudge for more than three minutes, weren’t particular about what clothes they wore and could be entertained with a generous supply of miniature trucks on rainy, “indoor” days or any ball game on “outside” days. Baseball on our dead end street was their favorite, and I became a pretty good pitcher, if I do say so myself. They didn’t much like it when I started the first newspaper and was away from the house a great deal. They were all in elementary school
