BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Helping people and seeing the positive impacts on their lives is the best part of the job for Anthony Amen, the owner of Redefine Fitness in Mount Sinai. “There’s nothing better than that,” he said. Though for Amen, his path to opening his new business last fall started almost a decade ago when he was a sophomore in college at
SUNY Oswego. It was there in February 2010 when Amen was playing broomball, a game played on ice in a similar way to hockey, but instead of a stick it’s done with a rubber-headed broom, and instead of skates players wear rubber-soled shoes. He was playing with his friends, but his life changed when a friendly game took a turn for the worse. MS FITNESS CONTINUED ON A12

RP superintendents look at past and toward the future BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Beginning in July, the Rocky Point school district will have a new superintendent for the first time in over 10 years, after longtime superintendent Micheal Ring announced his plans to retire at the end of the school year. Scott O’Brien, who currently serves as the district’s interim assistant superintendent, who has nearly two decades of educational experience in the Rocky Point school district, said he was honored to be selected as the new superintendent as it has been a position he has respected and held in high esteem. “Having been a teacher, assistant principal, principal and assistant superintendent in this district has made the transition into the superintendent position exciting and very personal,” he said. “I have worked with most of the staff in one capacity or another and know the majority of families in the community. I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to provide our students with an outstanding educational experience and the staff with the tools and support to achieve these goals.” O’Brien’s journey in education began in college when he initially explored a career path in

landscape architecture. He quickly discovered that his true calling was education after taking a college elective and taking part in a classroom observation. “The sense of wonder and exploration that was in the room was palpable,” the upcoming superintendent said. “I knew at that moment that I wanted to be a part of the educational environment and help to enrich the lives of tomorrow’s leaders and support learning for all students.”

What kind of exercises? Hand-held weights, elastic tubing, and exercise balls are utilized for resistance training. Chairs are available for seated or standing support.
The new superintendent has cherished that decision ever since. “My evolution through the years — from classroom teacher to administration — has been a natural progression, as I consider myself a lifelong learner,” he said. “Much of what I have experienced over this time has impacted the way I approach my job and ultimately was the driving force behind my decision to follow the path to the superintendent position.” O’Brien said, “Rocky Point has always felt like a home away from home.” His grandparents lived in the town and he often visited them during his childhood. Throughout his time in the district he has gotten to know community members and expects to build on those relationships. The new superintendent said he feels fortunate to have worked alongside Ring and learn from him. “I firmly believe that our district is well-positioned to build upon its tradition of excellence well into the future as a result of Dr. Ring’s leadership,” he said.

and a pleasure,” Ring said. The outgoing superintendent said the most fulfilling aspect of being in the position is working with teachers, administrators and support professionals to create and implement new and enhanced instructional and academic support programs to improve opportunities and outcomes for all students. “I will truly miss this process, as well as witnessing the results once these programs are instituted,” he said. Some of the things Ring is most proud of is what he called closing the achievement gap for students with disabilities and those who were economically disadvantaged. Also, over the years he said the district has substantially expanded opportunities for academic rigor through the nearly doubling of Advanced Placement course offerings, implementation of a science research program spanning grades 7 to 12, and supporting each student in pursuing more challenging curricula. As a result, students are graduating with impressive transcripts and the district has experienced a 38 percent increase in the number of Advanced Placement scholars and a 23 percent increase in graduates receiving Regents diplomas with advanced designations. Ring added there was no better choice to succeed him than O’Brien. “His depth and breadth of experience both as an educator and as a member of the Rocky Point schools community position him to continue to move the district forward to even greater levels of success for all of our students,” he added. “There is no doubt that the future of the district will be bright under his leadership.” Ring has no specific plans for retirement other than to have more time with family, but said he will miss being around the students, both in the classroom environment and in extracurricular activities. “They are why we all come to work every day,” he said. “Watching their growth academically, socially, emotionally and otherwise is what inspires all of us.”

Nonprofits team up to give army veteran a new car BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
“I never win anything, I was in disbelief — ‘like me?,’” Ludmilla Lamothe, a U.S. Army veteran, said when she learned a couple of months ago she was nominated by local nonprofits Driving 4 Change and Soldiers’ Angels to receive a newly refurbished car as part of the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides Program. On May 14, representatives from Caliber Collision and GEICO handed Lamothe the keys to a 2013 Mazda 6. The single mother of two, who was stationed in Alaska during her time in the Army, had been without a car for the past year and turned to using services like Uber and Lyft to get around, but it proved to be costly. “This will help so much, taking [my children] to the doctor when they need to, sometimes [before] I’d have to cancel things and change stuff around,” she said. “Now I can just get up and go, taking them to school and not worry about what ride I’m going to take and which one is the least expensive. Now I can just put some gas in my ride and go.” The donated car was restored by technicians

at Caliber Collision in Rocky Point who volunteered their personal time to refurbish the vehicle for Lamothe. Vartan Jerian, director of operations for Caliber Collision New York Region, said it is part of the company’s culture to support veterans as well as the communities in which they work. “It’s a good way for us to give back and show our appreciation for her service and everything she has done,” Jerian said.
Jerian has been involved in about 30 of these events and said it has become near and dear to his heart as he himself served in the military. “Every person has a different story — It’s great to see the reactions, great to hear how it’s going to help them and their family out,” the di-
rector of operations said. “She is a well deserving person — we’re excited to do it.” Ken Lalia, GEICO Auto Damage manager in Suffolk County, said he felt similarly. “It’s our way to give back to the community,” he said. “I feel honored to be able to give cars to military families in need.” Lalia said GEICO has been involved in the recycled rides programs for the past 10 years and has given away hundreds of refurbished cars. As part of the program, collision industry companies collaborate to repair and donate vehicles to individuals and families in need of reliable transportation. Lalia said their goal in this region is to give away 20 cars to individuals in need, and hopes it will make a lot of military families very happy. Lamothe was the fourth recipient of a car this year. The Huntington resident said she is so grateful and thankful for the car. Though her children couldn’t make it to the unveiling because of school, they were equally excited. “They wanted to be here, they were so excited — they were like ‘What’s it going to look like mom?,’” she said. “I’m probably going to surprise them and pick them up at school.”

Traitor is the thrilling sequel to the award-winning One Life to Give. Set during the end of the American Revolution, it chronicles the incredible true story of the capture of British spy Major John Andre by Culper spy master Benjamin Tallmadge. This riveting film brings to life the daring mission of a Setauket local to thwart a plot that surely would have marked defeat for the Continentals.

Port Jefferson Station gang member among three indicted in murder plot
Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) and Homeland Security Investigations of New York announced May 14 the indictment of three 18th Street gang members for allegedly conspiring to murder two individuals they believed were MS-13 gang members. “This is one of many cases where my office and Homeland Security worked together to not only bring bad actors to justice, but to actually prevent violence,” Sini said. “We are no longer responding or waiting for tragedy Th Story of Nathan Hale, a proactive approach, to estrike; we are taking Benjamin and due to Tallmadge excellent law enforcement work, & the of The Culper Spies weOrigin are preventing murders.” Wilber Campos Chicas, know as “Troya,” 25, of Port Jefferson Station; Guillermo Linares Alvarez, known as “Extrano,” 19, of Huntington Station; and Isidro Aguirre Canelas, known as “Chino,” 26, of Centereach, are each charged with one count of conspiracy in the second degree, a felony. Chicas and Canelas have been identified by law enforcement as members of the Tiny Locos clique of the 18th Street gang, which is based in Port Jefferson Station; and Linares Alvarez has been identified as a member of the Shatto Park Locos clique, located in Huntington Station. An investigation by the district attorney’s office and Homeland Security that began in March revealed intelligence that Chicas, Alvarez and Canelas allegedly conspired to murder two victims who they believed were members of MS-13, which is 18th Street’s rival gang. Between March 15 and April 24, the defendants allegedly took several steps in furtherance of the murder conspiracy, including sharing photos and descriptions of the two targets and their whereabouts. The defendants were allegedly going to use two machetes, which were owned by Alvarez, to murder the two victims. They
also allegedly discussed obtaining a car to use while carrying out their attacks. The three defendants, all of whom entered the United States illegally, were apprehended by Homeland Security agents in April. “Working quickly, agents were able to take all three defendants into custody before they were able to execute their plan,” Sini said. “But for the dedication and professionalism of Homeland Security, these murders likely would have occurred.” “Homeland Security and Suffolk County will not stand for violence at the hand of any gang member,” said Gerald Handley, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security New York. “Whether the intended victim is innocent or a known member of a gang, we pay the same attention to the details and remain as proactive as possible to stay in front of the violence. We will stand united with our law enforcement partners and continue to arrest and seek prosecution of gang members.” The three defendants were arraigned on the indictment on March 13 by Suffolk County Acting County Court Judge Karen M. Wilutis and were remanded without bail. If convicted of the top count, the defendants each face a maximum sentence of eight to 25 years in prison. Chicas, Alvarez and Canelas are due back in court respectively on May 29, 30 and 31. “Today is the latest example of Suffolk County law enforcement using the conspiracy statutes under New York State law to prevent violence,” Sini said. “We are collecting intelligence, analyzing that intelligence and disseminating it in a way that is allowing us to prevent violence and hold dangerous gang members accountable. None of this would be possible without the partnership between my office and Homeland Security as well as other law enforcement agencies.”

Former Mets player grateful for new kidney after SBU hospital procedure BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Ed Kranepool has proven once again that miracles do happen, especially when one is part of a team. The former baseball player, who was a member of the Miracle Mets in 1969, received a new kidney last week at Stony Brook University Hospital thanks to a kidney paired exchange. Kranepool said before the transplant he had two teams — his family, and the Mets organization. “Now I have an extended team,” he said. “I have our donors here today who certainly without them this program doesn’t exist, and you have to be forever grateful to them.” Kranepool, 74, received a kidney from Deborah Barbieri, who was hoping to donate a kidney to her husband, but it turned out she wasn’t a match for him due to their different blood types. However, it turned out she was a match with Kranepool. Her husband Al Barbieri received a kidney the same day donated from Port Authority police officer Brian Cooney. At a May 10 press conference at the hospital, three days after Kranepool, the Barbieris and Cooney underwent their procedures, they joined Dr. Frank Darras, medical director of Transplantation Services, and Dr. Wayne Waltzer, director of Kidney Transplantation Program, to discuss their experiences. Darras said many with a need for a new kidney are on a waiting list for months or even years. More than 113,000 Americans are waiting for a transplant of some kind, and 80,000 are waiting for a kidney transplant. Out of those 80,000, 8,000 of them live in New York state. He said many times a family member or friend wants to help a patient, but their blood types don’t match, like in the case of the Barbieris, or the potential donor has health problems of their own. Because of those long odds, he called the donors heroes. “They do this to help somebody else,” Darras said. He said Cooney’s altruistic call to the program set the paired exchange chain in motion. “With that came the reality that we can do a paired exchange, because when he was tested the highest person of his blood type, blood type A, was Mr. Barbieri,” Darras said. “So, then we looked at his wife, who had been a willing donor for a couple of months as blood type AB, which is the most uncommon blood type, and we ran the AB blood list, and Mr. Kranepool was the highest on the AB list with the longest waiting time. So that’s what triggered us to get to this point today.” The doctor said after the surgery, the remaining kidney of Cooney and Deborah Barbieri would grow and compensate to do 75-80 percent of the work, and there is no significant decrease in life expectancy or increase in kidney failure. He said

patients have lived entire lives with a sole kidney, and those who receive one before undergoing dialysis treatments tend to do better. Kranepool was not at the point where he needed dialysis, and Darras said it would have been difficult for him due to high blood pressure and diabetes. A patient on dialysis can gain another five to seven years, while one who receives a new kidney can live another 15 years or more. Waltzer added there is a discrepancy between those who need a kidney and those who donate. In 2018 there were only 1,619 living donor transplants in the state of New York and 1,047 deceased organ donors. He said the national visibility that Kranepool has given the cause could benefit everyone in need of an organ. Cooney, 45, a former NYPD officer, said when he responded to Ground Zero after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks Sept. 11, 2001, he witnessed devastation and, in the years that followed, more tragedy as first responders died from 9/11-related diseases. He said he realized how fortunate he is. “I’d have a blessed life and a blessed career,” Cooney said. “I have very few problems to speak
of and nothing to complain about.” It was a few months ago he placed a call to the transplant center, and he said a few days after a visit to the hospital for a general checkup and consultation, he received the call that he was a match for someone. “Sure enough I was able to set a chain in motion,” he said. Al Barbieri, a volunteer firefighter in Glenwood Landing since 1982, said he was grateful for all the help in him getting his new kidney. He was placed on dialysis in 2016, four hours at a time, and he has seen many fellow patients lose their battles against kidney disease. “It’s very difficult to see when you sit there with people who are next to you one day in the chair, and the next day they’re not there,” he said. At the brink of crying, the organ recipient said he felt fortunate that he could now see his children graduate and be able to go to their weddings and meet his future grandchildren one day. “Police officers are here in the world today, so firefighters can have heroes too,” he said. Deborah Barbieri said that dialysis had made it difficult for the couple to go places, especially
on vacation, something both of them are looking forward to doing once again. “I decided to take a shot and go on the list, and it’s the best thing I ever did,” she said. Kranepool said he felt fortunate to have Deborah Barbieri and Cooney step forward, and he wants to see the same happen for others by continuing to raise awareness. Last year, the former Mets player held press conferences around Long Island to urge residents to sign organ donation forms, and he said he plans to continue spreading the word about the importance of organ donations. “You get that call,” he said. “I mean, they saved your life.” This summer, Kranepool said he’s looking forward to spending time in the Hamptons with his wife, and also celebrating in the 50th anniversary of the Miracle Mets in June. On the day he received the call that there was a donor for him, Kranepool said he had just finished telling his wife to stay positive about his situation. Then 10 minutes later the phone rang. “It was like magic,” he said. “Something really happened right there.”

Port Jefferson rail line electrification a near-future possibility
BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The electrification of the Long Island Rail Road’s Port Jefferson Branch is back on the table, and government officials say they’re optimistic about the prospect, since now there’s some money to fund the idea. New York State Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) during an informal interview May 9 at the Huntington train station, where he was personally handing out commuter surveys, said he predicts that the line will become fully electrified within the next five years. “It’s been talked about for decades,” he said. “It’s time to make it happen.” Currently, the branch east of Huntington uses diesel or double-decker, dual-fuel trains, that are prohibited in Manhattan. Commuters between New York City and points east of Huntington on the Port Jefferson Branch must change from diesel to electric trains, or vice versa for the reverse commute, at various junctions, typically in Huntington. The process is time consuming and inconvenient for passengers, who are often subject to inclement weather on an open platform. Electric trains would eliminate the need to change trains and would create a time-saving, one-seat ride to Manhattan. Gaughran, who is serving his first term in the state Senate, has been a major proponent of the MTA Rail Act, an overhaul plan, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed into law last month. New York State’s 2019-20 budget funds the overhaul and includes an expected $1.5 billion in capital projects for the Long Island Rail Road. Funds will be used for a variety of
needs, but new trains and increased service are top priorities, according to Gaughran’s office. Electrification makes sense now, Gaughran said, because it would help address both congestion at Huntington’s station, which serves 41,440 daily weekday riders, while speeding up the slow commute to New York City. Gaughran said that he’s already taken steps to advocate for electrification. He’s also conducted mobile town halls on trains during the morning commute to solicit passenger input on all rail service issues and will present passengers comments from his surveys to railroad officials later this year. Details from the Long Island Rail Road The LIRR is currently evaluating proposals, according to its spokesperson, and will soon award contracts to begin the electrification studies for both the Port Jefferson Branch and the Central Branch, which connects Babylon to Hicksville via Bethpage. The studies will determine what is required to complete each project. Overall, the electrification project, in addition to a new fleet, would require significant investments in infrastructure such as new substations, a third rail and a second track between Huntington and Port Jefferson, upgrades to half-dozen platforms and work on bridges, viaducts and crossings, according to LIRR’s spokesperson. Additional train storage yard(s) will also be needed. The railroad does not yet have funding for construction but is seeking it for the Central Branch electrification in its 2020-24 capital program. Port Jefferson electrification would require additional funding in several other future programs.

A faster, one-seat ride A common complaint among passengers interviewed for this report during the May 9 morning commute aboard trains on the Port Jefferson line supported the need for more rapid service. “It takes two hours to get to New York City from Stony Brook,” said John Morgan, a mathematician at Stony Brook University’s Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, who uses the train twice a week. “It’s too slow.” Larry Penner, a former Federal Transit Administration director in the New York region, who is familiar with MTA operations, capital projects and programs, said the one-seat ride to Manhattan in general is the best bang-for-thebuck idea for improving rail service for riders. “Electrification of Ronkonkoma was selected over Port Jefferson back in the early 1980s,” Penner said. “Perhaps this time, Port Jefferson will come out on top this go-around almost 40 years later.” Penner noted that the electrification of the

railroad’s Central Branch east of Hicksville to Babylon holds the potential of creating a new north/south service route, which will provide detours to Jamaica during major service disruptions on the main line between Hicksville and Jamaica. For years, local elected representatives have recognized the commercial value and the resulting tax revenue benefits of electrification. “That would be a regional game changer for us,” Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant said during a phone interview. The Long Island Rail Road is the busiest commuter railroad in North America, carrying an average of 301,000 customers each weekday on 735 daily trains. It’s comprised of more than 700 miles of rails on 11 different branches. For most lines, the terminus is Penn Station in Manhattan, with some lines originating or ending in Queens and Brooklyn. The Huntington line, in addition to serving 41,440 daily weekday riders, serves another 11,210 travelers on the Port Jefferson line.

Town officials celebrate senior softball’s opening day in Centereach
On May 9, the Town of Brookhaven launched the 2019 “Super” Senior Softball program at the Middle Country Fields in Centereach. The senior softball program, which was launched in 1982, includes two leagues — “60 and Over” and the “65 and Over” Super Senior program. The teams are considered by many to be the best senior softball programs in the entire state of New York. Games are played during
the spring and summer season on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 a.m. at several Town of Brookhaven ballfields. During the May 9 opening day ceremonies, Town of Brookhaven officials, including town Councilwomen Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) and Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) and Councilmen Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) and Michael Loguercio (R-Ridge), welcomed the athletes and wished them luck in the new season.
“We were playing a game and a friend of mine went in for a slide tackle,” he said. “I was trying to avoid the hit and slipped, fell backwards and whacked my head on the ice very hard.” Amen suffered a serious concussion, along with injuries to his neck and back. For threeand-a-half months he was unable to look at any visible light and sat in his bed in the dark for much of the time. As a result of his head injury, Amen began suffering from debilitating migraines. He could barely move his head and he was unable to put his hands above his head. He said sought help from doctors, but each told him that concussions take time to recover from, and it was something he would have to learn to deal with. “I went to 25 different doctors and they all told me the same thing — ‘There’s nothing wrong with you. We can’t do anything,’” Amen said. “They put me on Percocet and muscle relaxants and told me ‘Good luck.’” He said a doctor told him he was “a physician, not a magician. I don’t know what you want from me.” It was those experiences that served as the catalyst that would change Amen’s life. Amen said he was stubborn, and he didn’t want to give up and didn’t want this to be his norm. “I started experimenting and working out in the gym to try to make myself better,” he said. “The more I did the better I felt.” The Mount Sinai business owner said he was able to fix himself from getting migraines every week and being unable to get out of bed, to never having one in more than five years. “One of the biggest moments for me was being able to put my hands over my head again,” he said. Amen fell in love with fitness and wanted to teach people what he had learned. He began

A yearand-a-half ago, his vision became a reality when he decided he would open Redefine Fitness. “It was very stressful to open a business, but I was passionate about this and I had to try,” he said. ”I think it was the right time for me to try. I have no wife and kids — I didn’t want to regret not doing this.” In fall 2018, Redefine Fitness opened its doors with one of the goals of making the connection between fitness, medicine and rehabilitation. They use research-based information in conjunction with their certified trainers to make tailored workout programs for their clients. Amen admits the first few months open have gone better than he could have ever imagined. “The clients have been so great, they tell me they see the passion in me,” he said. One experience that sticks out to Amen was when he trained a 65-year-old woman who had a lung transplant and had a breathing machine. He said she would struggle to tie her own shoes. “We got her to squat 175 pounds and got her to run,” he said. “It was amazing seeing this woman’s life change from being told you couldn’t do something. It shows that if you put your mind to something you could achieve anything.” The Mount Sinai gym has five trainers, including Amen, and offers one-on-one training sessions, weight loss programs and various classes as well as special needs and post-rehab programs. In the future, Amen hopes to expand the gym to other locations, and wants to continue making a positive impact in the community. Reflecting to his pre-college days, Amen said he was not the athlete type and used to run 15-minute miles and be happy about it. “Looking back I would’ve never pictured this in a million years,” he said. “I want to show [people] that there’s no giving up. I want to pass that knowledge and passion to everybody else.”

Shoreham-Wading River school district
Wading River students gather hundreds of boxes of food and toiletries for local pantries

Wading River School’s Character Counts committee has been organizing holiday food drives to benefit local churches, veteran groups and food pantries for numerous years. The theme of this year’s food drive was inspired by a children’s book author visit to the school, Kathryn Otoshi and her book “Beautiful Hands.” During Otoshi’s visit, students pledged to do something beautiful with their hands. They used the pledge to encourage students to decorate a box and fill it with nonperishable food items and toiletries for the local food pantries. To build momentum and add an element of excitement to the food drive, a competition component was added. For two weeks, each grade level competed against one another to determine which one collected the most boxes of food. At the end of the competition, the fifth-grade students
were declared the victors. Additionally, a contest was held for the best decorated box in each grade. Third-grader Jasmine Macias, fourthgrader Sean Logan and fifth-grader Jocelyn Kavanaugh were honored for their achievements. The successful food drive culminated in donations to four local churches, each receiving approximately 36 boxes of food. “Students were so inspired by Kathryn Otoshi’s story and took to heart her motivating words of planting ideas, stretching their imaginations and reaching for dreams,” said reading teacher Kelly Toole, who works with reading teacher Tracy O’Lear, school psychologist Patricia Aretakis and math teacher Mark Vallina in guiding the students in learning the book’s values and with the food drive. “We are so proud of their reading efforts and giving efforts.”

Miller Ave students win first place in BNL science fair Two students from Miller Avenue Elementary have been named first-place recipients in their grade level in the Brookhaven National Laboratory elementary science fair. Kindergarten student Connor Nugent won in the kindergarten grade level competition for his project, “Spaghetti Strength: Does
Spaghetti Get Stronger When It Gets Cooked?” Second-grader Zachary Lister won in the second-grade level competition for his project, “Slippery Sock Science: What Kind of Sock Is the Slippiest?” Both young scientists will be honored at the Suffolk County Legislators meeting in early June.
Four Miller Place School District students were recently honored as New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance’s Outstanding Middle School Physical Education Students at its annual Suffolk Zone May 4 dinner. North Country Road Middle School students Brooke McCormick and Josh Koppleman and Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School students Madelayna Vomero and Dylan Riegel received awards for their performances in physical education. “Congratulations to Brooke, Josh, Madelayna and Dylan on this tremendous
honor,” said Superintednent Marianne Cartisano. “This distinction is a testament to these students’ leadership and excellence in physical education and academia, as well as their continued efforts to represent the district with great distinction.” Each year, physical education teachers throughout Suffolk County nominate students who embody the values of teamwork, leadership and integrity. The Miller Place students were presented with the awards at Bay Shore High School alongside students from other districts in Suffolk County.

Opinion
Editorial Election day debate
Mark your calendar: May 21 is election day! And according to New York State law, so is the second Tuesday in July for most Suffolk County fire departments. The third Tuesday in March is also election day for many village trustees and propositions. Election day for state and local primaries, well that’s June 25 this year. When do you vote on library budget? Each local library has a different day for its election. So, why then do we call the first Tuesday in November election day as if there’s only one day when citizens vote? Election days can be tough to track. It’s like the nutty old Abbott and Costello skit “Who’s on first, what’s on second, and I don’t know is on third.” Yet elections are no laughing matter. Collectively, all of these elections amount to increased spending, which overtime adds up. It’s not easy getting it straight — not only these dates, but also all the spending. In recent years, large and seemingly extravagant multimillion-dollar public projects have been both approved and declined by popular vote with lower voter turnout throughout our circulation area. The $14.9 million bond for the new Setauket Firehouse was approved on its third try with just 580 people voting out of a population of several thousand in the fire district. Last year, a bond presented by the Mount Sinai School District was voted down with a 664428 tally against the project. Mount Sinai has a population of over 12,000. If one or two days each year were designated election day, it would be easier to hold elected officials accountable by enabling taxpayers to see a broad overview of taxation on one ballot. At TBR News Media, we would support consolidating elections into one or two universal election days each year. Make it a national holiday, so people are more keenly aware of their obligation. Maybe turn Columbus Day, a federal holiday, into election day? With one or two annual election days, citizens could more easily track spending and stay abreast of community affairs. But until this happens, as we said, mark your calendars. All elections are important: They determine where our money will go and how much of it. On May 21, Long Islanders will vote on board of education members and school district budgets, which account for a significant majority of our local tax bills. It’s a crucial vote that typically gains support from parents with children in school, while retirees or people with more limited income, who may have different priorities, make a point to show up at the polls to say no. That’s the system we have now, so be sure to exercise your right to vote May 21.

Perspectives
Creating connections to combat anger, fear
Over the past six months, again and again, we’ve consoled and supported one another and our respective faith communities after incidents of hate and violence against people at prayer, whether Muslim, Sikh, Christian or Jewish. Also, recent arson attacks against several historically black churches and a mosque in California. The list could go on. We feel tremendous sadness for each one lost and for their families and loved ones. We feel tremendous sadness for those who are living with injury, whether physical, mental, or emotional. We feel tremendous sadness for the faith communities forever scarred by that loss and by the trauma of violence. We stand with and for each other. We do not agree with each other about everything theological, but we vigorously defend and celebrate one another’s right to pray, worship and live vibrantly as people of faith. In our Three Village Interfaith Clergy Association, we are constantly learning from one another. We host interfaith services, programs and a blog for faith leaders and people of different faith traditions to be in conversation. We encourage everyone in our communities to seek out opportunities to learn about and form relationships with those from a variety of faith and cultural traditions. We are united in this community and love one another as friends and as siblings. We invite you to build those bridges with us. But we also are angry. We’re angry about the persistence of hate. We’re angry that anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and racism are on the rise. We’re angry that organized hate groups are on the rise. We’re angry that people
have such easy access to guns and other weapons that destroy human life. We’re angry that some of this violence is done in the name of religion, and we confess and lament our own failures to wrestle critically with our own scriptures and theologies, and to oppose false versions of those theologies. We’re angry that we now have to spend time talking about how to secure our worship buildings and create safety and active shooter protocols — time that takes away from working for peace and justice in our communities and in our world. We’re angry that our children are learning that the two places they should feel most safe in their communities — their schools and places of worship — are now too often targets. We must do something together about violence. As faith leaders, we don’t have all the answers, but it’s important for people of faith to be part of the conversation about guns, and conflict, and war, and our culture’s increasing acquiescence and resignation to violence, whether it is violent acts or words. Faith leaders, faith communities and people of faith should be the front lines of these conversations, of the commitment to nonviolence, and of active opposition to the glorification of weapons and violence in all its forms. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. often talked about the Beloved Community. On one occasion, he said, “The end is the creation of the Beloved Community. It is this type of spirit and this type of love that can transform opponents into friends. It is this type of understanding goodwill that will transform the deep gloom of the old age into the exuberant gladness of the new age. It is this love which will bring
about miracles in the hearts of [people].” Let us be, together in this Three Village community, the model of exuberant gladness, celebrating and loving one another, and actively working together against the deep gloom of hate and violence.

Letter to the editor
Single most attraction of Island is its people I always enjoy reading Daniel Dunaief’s opinion piece, and last week’s column, “The agony and ecstasy of Long Island life” was no exception. I wish to take the liberty of adding one element of “ecstasy” to his piece, if I may be so presumptuous. As an unapologetic and extremely fortunate native Islander, in my opinion, the single most positive
attraction of our Island is its people. The diversity, empathy and resourcefulness of our neighbors is something of which we can all be proud. Just look at the volunteerism reflected by our fire departments, EMS personnel, school board trustees, library board trustees and countless other organizations that significantly add to the quality of our
lives where their lifeblood is the dedication of the women and men we call neighbors. Admittedly we may be loud at times and in a hurry most of the time, but I wouldn’t trade the friends and neighbors with whom we share our Island with anyone anywhere. Tony Parlatore Stony Brook

Opinion
Divergent expectations, realities and memories of parenting
A
s I ponder the next step before my pint-sized daughter leaves the proverbial nest, I recall the incongruities between what we expected, what happened and what we remember. Please find below a list of some magical and not-so-magical moments. The birth of our daughter What we thought would happen: We had 40, no, make it D. None 42, weeks to get of the above ready for the birth of our daughter BY DANIEL DUNAIEF who waited well past her due date to appear. We took Lamaze classes — “breathe honey, breathe, there you go” — we read baby books and we had a birth plan. I figured my wife
would let me know “it’s time” when her water broke or when the squint-through-them-andthen-smile-radiantly contractions arrived. We’d jump in a taxi and a wonderfully cheerful nurse would welcome us to the hospital. What actually happened: Our daughter really didn’t want to come out, so the doctor scheduled an induced delivery. We casually packed our small bags, drove slowly to the hospital and walked up to the entrance. Numerous drugs, two days, almost no sleep and considerable anxiety later, our daughter still hadn’t made her appearance. What we remember: This is tough, because we recall some of the hours of confusion and anxiety, but the end result was so life altering that one of our recurring memories was of a nurse coming in, to ask how many times we changed her diaper after she spent hours in the room with us. Wait, were we supposed to change her diaper? Early trips to the doctor What I thought would happen: He’d examine her and tell us what a wonderful job
we were doing, and would offer us timely and helpful advice about surviving without sleep. What actually happened: She weighed less than she did at birth. Is that good? Is that bad? No, it’s normal, he assured us. Why are you giving her shots already? Can’t she get shots later? She looks so peaceful. Why are you making her cry? What I remember: That shot seemed so painful. We don’t remember our first shots, but we both felt as if the doctor were stabbing us with a sword when he gently inserted the needle in her arm. First steps What we thought would happen: She’d take some steps, we’d clap, and she’d be on her way. What actually happened: We didn’t take away her walking toy until someone told us it was keeping her from learning to walk. What we remember: Silly us, we delayed her walking because we let her keep using the toy, but, hey, she did just fine. First athletic event What I thought would happen: She’d try to
throw or catch and ball and I’d be thrilled with her effort. What actually happened: She played with dandelions and chatted with her friends. What I remember: She looked great in that red T-shirt with her mitt turned backward toward her knee. Going to high school What we thought would happen: She’d share her daily experiences with us and we’d laugh and offer sage advice. What actually happened: She grunted, we growled, and now she’s graduating What we remember: She smiled and waved at us from the volleyball court and she laughed with us while we made cookies for her friends. Driving What we thought would happen: She’d drive slowly and carefully and listen to us. What actually happened: She told us all the advice we gave her wasn’t how we drove. What we remember: She passed her driver’s test and can do errands and drive herself around. Thank goodness.
Balancing a career and motherhood
I
t’s still the same old story, only 60 years later. When I was an undergraduate at Barnard, the college president, Millicent McIntosh, who was well ahead of her time, urged the women — actually we still called ourselves “girls” then — to prepare themselves for a career and not just for marriage. “Statistics tell us that you will be alone during some parts of your adult life, whether from widowhood, divorce or not finding a mate. You may have to support yourself and your children, should you have them.” Between We giggled at the message. you and me The question BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF then became: Who will take care of the children while we are working, and what
will be the effect of a working mother on those children? In short, the issue was how to balance a career and motherhood. Although she didn’t say it, the answer for President McIntosh, our role model who had several children, was to have help in the home. That was made possible by the fact that she and her physician husband made a sufficient living to pay for that help. That meant for women to have a career was a luxury, and we resolved the career/motherhood dilemma by assuring ourselves that it was quality time spent with children, not quantity, that would make the difference in their lives. How pat an answer. How innocent. How ridiculous. This was just before the world changed, just before Betty Friedan, Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem and the invention of birth control pills. Within the following 20 years, certainly by the early 1980s, women poured out of the kitchen into the workplace, and the two-paycheck family became the norm. Values in America had changed, family income had improved, but the conversation was the same: Who will take care

of the children and how will women and men — and the children at home — cope? So how have we coped? For starters, women can pursue success in the workplace much more readily, if not yet with pay equality. Women can also support themselves rather than stay in a marriage they may deem difficult. The other side of the coin is that the frustrations of balancing the workplace and motherhood that we imagined early on have indeed come true. And lots of other changes have taken place in society that weren’t imagined. The relationship between men and women inside marriage has changed. The drive for equal pay in the workplace continues. The rate of divorce has soared in the last half-century. And fewer Americans are even getting married than ever before. In 1960, 82 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 were married, but in 2010 that rate had dropped to 44 percent. By 2018, the reproductive rate in the United States had fallen to a 32-year low, which will of course have all sorts of implications for the future

workforce and economic consequences on Social Security, among others. Remaining in the middle class now depends, for most people, on two incomes. And the work-life balance question? Well, that problem still hangs in the air. Someone has to take care of the children, but who? I can honestly say that almost every career-successful wife I have ever interviewed and asked how she managed the home-workplace situation has expressed frustration with the outcome even as she loves her work. Couples today work out their own arrangements. Those fortunate enough to have the funds hire help. Roles in marriage have sometimes reversed, with the husband staying at home for the family. Some corporations have realized the benefit of offering paid family leave, so that infants are not left to third-party care. Grandparents have been pressed into service to care for their grandchildren. But the bottom line is that the choice to work has now become the necessity in most cases for both partners to support the family. The choice is still a luxury.
