Canine or feline friends up for lower adoption fees By Talia amoRoSano

Brookhaven Town is reducing adoption costs at its animal shelter this month. According to a recent town press release, the Brookhaven Animal Shelter and Adoption Center on Horseblock Road will offer discounted adoption fees through June. While the fees are normally $137 for a dog and $125 for a cat, they have been dropped to $60. The lower fee includes a free neuter or spay for the animal as well as a free microchip, vaccinations, heartworm test and animal license. The reduced price is partly the result of renovations that are currently taking place at the shelter. The shelter’s website notes that “pet overpopulation is of great concern” and that it is especially important for some of the animals to be adopted during the next four to six weeks because kennels will be renovated during that timeframe. The shelter has also invested in new air conditioners, freshly painted walls and new floors. But Martin Haley, Brookhaven Town’s commissioner of general services, said

adoption discounts like this one are common throughout the year regardless of special circumstances like construction and renovation, because the shelter staff is constantly trying to incentivize adoption. As of Monday, there were 78 animals in the shelter. Haley said the number fluctuates every day and the shelter’s goal is to keep the population manageable. He said the animals can become difficult to manage at numbers of 80 to 100, but it varies on a case-by-case basis with animals’ spatial and behavioral needs. According to Haley, most of the animals currently housed at the shelter are dogs, but there are also about 30 cats and kittens available for adoption. The shelter is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays; from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays; from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays; and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. It is closed on Wednesdays. Anyone interested in adopting a pet may call the shelter at 631-451-6950 or visit www.brookhaven.org/animalshelter for more information.

Tricarico takes first shot at running for public office Facing off against incumbent Sarah Anker for 6th District seat After years of working in the public sector and for local government, Republican Steve Tricarico, Brookhaven Town’s deputy highway superintendent, is making his first run for elected office. The 30-year-old Wading River native will face off against incumbent Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) for the 6th District seat in November. In a recent interview, Tricarico touted his years of experience working within local governments and his fiscally conservative approach when it comes to budgeting. Bettering the county’s finances is a main focus of his campaign, Tricarico said. He was critical of the county increasing departmental fees, overrelying on sales taxes and borrowing to pay for its operating expenses. He said the county, like its residents, should be living within

its means and cut its borrowing. “The county just doesn’t seem to be getting that message,” he said. Tricarico said he took issue with how the county overestimated its sales tax revenue in 2014 by 1.5 percent, causing an $18.1 million shortfall, according to a June Fitch Ratings report. Despite the shortfall, the county budgeted for a 4.87 percent increase in sales tax for 2015. Tricarico said this practice is “hurting our ability to function,” and if elected, he wouldn’t budget for any increase in sales tax, as to not overestimate. Suffolk County Republican Committee Chairman John Jay LaValle described Tricarico as the “ideal candidate,” and one that people — from Dan Losquadro to former Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy — have sought out to work with. “He has really excelled everywhere he has gone,” LaValle said.

Prior to working for the town, Tricarico worked as a district manager for LIPA, liaising between government officials and constituents. He also worked under Levy in the intergovernmental affairs unit. Tricarico said the jobs provided him with the best background, as he understands local government, constituents and budgets. Tricarico, who still lives in Wading River with his wife, Francine, said their two-yearold daughter, Charlotte, served as an inspiration for him to run; he wants to leave the county better than how he found it, for her and future generations. As an adjunct professor at Farmingdale State College, Tricarico said he hears from students all the time about how they would like to stay on Long Island, but just can’t because of the high-cost of living and lack of good jobs. So, if elected, he said he TRICARICO continued on page A8

To have that distinct determination and find avenues to explore it is very rare.” Hayman feels like her four years at Miller Place flew by. “The journey went so quickly, I feel like we just started here yesterday,” she said.

Bellone pitches $350 million transportation plan Builds upon revitalization efforts and Connect LI By GisEllE BarklEy

As the percentage of youth on Long Island declines, regional leaders are determined to entice young people to move in and stay, but their plan comes with a price. On Tuesday, County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and several regional leaders, including Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), announced they are seeking $350 million to fund the Long Island Innovation Zone, I-Zone, plan. I-Zone aims to connect Long Island’s transit-oriented downtown areas, like New Village in Patchogue, the Meadows at Yaphank and the planned Ronkonkoma Hub, to institutions like Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The I-Zone plan emphasizes the use of a bus rapid transit, or BRT, system that runs north to south and would connect Stony Brook University and Patchogue. There will also be a paralleling hiking and biking trail, and the system will serve as a connection between the Port Jefferson, Ronkonkoma and Montauk Long Island Rail Road lines. The goal is to make Long Island more appealing to the younger demographic

and avoid local economic downturns. According to the Long Island Index, from 2000 to 2009, the percentage of people aged 25-34 decreased by 15 percent. The majority of these individuals are moving to major cities or places where transportation is readily accessible. “We must challenge ourselves because if we don’t, we have an Island at risk,” Romaine said. Government officials acknowledged that without younger people living on Long Island the population will be unable to sustain the local economy. Fewer millennials means there are less people who will purchase property and contribute to the success of businesses in the area. The proposal comes after Governor Andrew Cuomo’s (D) call for regional planning. The plan also builds upon the Ronkonkoma Hub plan, with the installation of sewers and a new parking area. The I-Zone proposal claims to improve Long Island’s water quality, as funding will help connect sewers through Islip downtown areas to the Southwest Sewer District. Additionally, the plan calls for the construction of a new airport terminal on the north side of Long Island Ma-

Massive fish kill in Riverhead a concern for county By Alex PeTroski

The estimated nearly 100,000 dead bunker fish that have washed up ashore in Riverhead may seem astounding, but it wasn’t all that surprising to the panel of experts brought before the Suffolk County Health Committee on June 11. In late May, the thousands of dead bunker fish, formally known as Atlantic menhaden fish, began appearing in the Peconic Estuary, an area situated between the North and South Forks of Long Island. According to a June 2 press release from the Peconic Estuary Program, the bunker fish died as a result of low dissolved oxygen in the water. This shortage of oxygen is called hypoxia. Walter Dawydiak, director of the county’s environmental quality division, who serves on the panel, which was organized by the health committee chairman, Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport), testified that the number of dead fish was at or approaching 100,000. “This one is bigger and worse than any,” Dawydiak said. According to the PEP, which is part of the National Estuary Program and seeks to conserve the estuary, bunker are filter-feeding fish and an important food source for many predatory fish, including striped bass and blue fish. Alison Branco, the program’s direc-

A panel of experts briefs the suffolk County health Committee on the fish kill in riverhead.

tor, said the fish are likely being chased into shallow waters by predators, but are dying because of low dissolved oxygen levels in the waters. In addition, an algae bloom is contributing to the low levels and is fueled by excess nitrogen loading. Much of that nitrogen comes from septic systems, sewage treatment plants and fertilizer use. “We’ve reached a point where this kind of hypoxia was run of the mill. We

expect it every summer,” Branco, who also served as a panelist, said following the hearing. While magnitude of the fish kill was astounding, the experts said they weren’t so surprised that it happened. “I definitely thought it could happen at any time,” Christopher Gobler, a biologist at Stony Brook University, said in a one-on-one interview after the panel hearing. “There’s been an oxygen prob-

lem there all along.” Gobler called it the largest fish kill he’d seen in 20 years. According to panel members, the worst of the fish kill occurred between May 27 and May 30. Branco did suggest that this shocking environmental event could be turned into a positive if the right measures are taken sooner rather than later. “It’s always shocking to see a fish kill,” she said. “As much as we don’t want to have things like that happen I think the silver lining is that it did capture the public’s attention.” Prevention of a fish kill this large is possible, according to Branco. While preventing the harmful algal blooms is not possible, reducing the frequency and severity can be done if the amount of nitrogen in the coastal water supply is controlled.

would like to explore ways to provide additional incentives to local businesses and create an economy that grows jobs. All options must be on the table when looking at how to better local government and its economy, Tricarico insisted, stating that he would explore the privatization of some government functions, like health and social services. “As county representatives, there is only so much we can do, but in order to start keeping good businesses here on the Island, we need to make sure that our county legislator, especially in the 6th District, is representing the constituents of the 6th District,” he said. “In my opinion, the current county legislator is rubber-stamping every policy that comes across her desk.” In a phone interview, Anker said she is focusing on her responsibilities as a county legislator. She said she is grateful that she has had the opportunity to serve the people of the 6th District and would like to continue to do so. Like Tricarico, Anker said she believes the county needs to start borrowing less. She described taking office in 2011 during one of the worst fiscal challenges — a time when the county didn’t have much of a choice but to borrow. “I don’t think he understands the government process,” she said.

Anker also defended her position on creating task forces to look at problems. Tricarico described this as creating “bureaucracy to solve problems.” But Anker said the groups focus government resources on an issue and create plans to fix things.

North Shore lawmaker lauds mute swan legislation By SuSan RiSoli

Mute swans might soon have an easier relationship with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, if a bill recently passed through the York State Legislature is signed into law. The legislation was written to require DEC to provide scientific documentation that mute swans are a threat to the environment. Also, before taking any action to control the state’s mute swan population, the DEC would have to hold at least two public hearings and give the public at least 45 days to comment on its plans for dealing with the birds. The legislation package passed the state Assembly June 9 and had passed the state Senate on April 22. Mute swans, a non-native species from Europe, are considered an invasive species, according to the state DEC. Trumpeter swans, also found in New York, are native to the region and are not included in the DEC’s management plan. The agency’s proposed mute swan management plan, released in March, called for limiting the statewide population to 800 birds. By 2002, there were more than 2,000 mute swans downstate and 200 upstate, the report said. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket), chairman of the Assembly’s Committee on Environmental Conservation, said in a phone interview

TBR

Tuesday that the mute swan legislation was a response to public concern “that had been raised, particularly about the lack of appropriate science to justify this eradication of a very beautiful animal” that inspires “a sense of curiosity about the environment,” particularly among children. In April, Englebright and Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz (D-Brooklyn), also a member of the Committee on Environmental Conservation, sent DEC’s Bureau of Wildlife a letter saying the agency disregarded the state Legislature’s requests for “full documentation of the scientific basis for management decisions” and requests for “less reliance on lethal management measures. The DEC has failed to provide compelling scientific information as to why such an aggressive management strategy is being pursued.” DEC spokesman Jomo Miller said in an emailed statement Tuesday that the agency is reviewing the letter from Englebright and Cymbrowitz “as part of its review of the comments received” on the draft management plan. The DEC hopes to adopt a final plan later this summer, Miller said. “At that time, we will provide a response to the principal comments received, as we did for comments on the first draft of the plan,” he said. In an interview, Englebright said the

legislation is “not just an exercise in willfulness on our part but an exercise in democracy,” and it reflects “a very high interest” from the public about the fate of the swans. The legislation would require DEC to “give priority to nonlethal management

techniques” for controlling the mute swan population. The proposed plan said it does not advocate any specific method of controlling the population, and because many people object to the use of lethal control methods, especially killing MUTE SWANS continued on page A10

Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner and Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker recently congratulated Rocky Point Eagle Scouts.

Rocky Point students explored the Vanderbilt Museum’s Traveling Classroom.

Discovering the Universe at RPMS Rocky Point Middle School eighthgrade general science students had the chance to learn about the universe through a variety of hands-on activities and interactive modules when the Vanderbilt Museum’s Traveling Classroom arrived in mid-May. The 37-foot recreational bus, transformed into a mobile learning station, provided students the opportunity to look at how astronomers find out about

the universe through exploring light, telescopes, digital imaging, 3-D universe and gravity. Teachers from the Vanderbilt Museum were on hand to assist the students with the inquiry-based learning projects and present accompanying lessons in the classroom. The program tied into the grade level’s curriculum on astronomy and was sponsored by the National Grid Foundation.

adult birds, the DEC will use “nonlethal” methods where practical and timely to achieve the management objectives, the report said. Research shows that mute swans “can significantly reduce the availability of submerged aquatic vegetation in wetland ecosystems” depending on the number of swans relative to the size of the area being considered, the spokes-

person said. The DEC said in the draft management plan that mute swans hurt the environment by eating and uprooting large quantities of plants that are food for fish and other wildlife. Swan feces have high levels of coliform bacteria, which can make waters unsafe for drinking, swimming and shell fishing, the document said. Their presence near airports poses “a serious threat to aviation,” the plan said. It also said that territorial swans have been known to attack people and other birds.

RP Eagle Scouts honored On May 30, Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) and Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) attended the Court of Honor ceremony for Kenneth Schick and Kieran Maroney from Boy Scout Troop 244 in Rocky Point. Kenneth and Kieran attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America. For Kenneth’s Eagle project, he built a platform in the Rocky Point High School auditorium for the light and sound boards. The project has helped the efficiency of the tech crew

and has improved the appearance of the auditorium. Kieran’s Eagle project was an informational kiosk at the Rolling Oaks Golf Course. This kiosk educates golfers about the dangers of heart attacks while golfing and teaches the steps to ensure a safe golfing experience. “Leadership, hard work, and dedication to the community are what it means to be an Eagle Scout,” Bonner said. “I commend Kenneth and Kiernan for their achievement. They are wonderful examples for younger Scouts and their peers to follow.”

OBITUARY

Graham Vandall Graham Vandall, age 83, of Port Jefferson, died recently. He was the son of the local butcher, Allison Vandall, and his wife, Harriet. Although he was unable to serve in the military, he became a member of the Ground Observation Corps with the Port Jefferson Post BL55R. The tower he served in was on what is now Emerson Street and he earned a service pin for

more than 500 hours. He was employed for many years as a draftsman with Hawkins and Webb Surveyors, and then Harold F. Trancheon, Surveyor, until he retired. Graham was an honorary chief of the Port Jefferson Fire Department and a member for 63 years. He was a former captain of Rescue Engine and Hose Company No. 3, and one of the first presidents of the Port Jefferson Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Graham was well-known for his love of train collecting and his store “Graham’s Road Runners,” which carried die-cast miniature vehicles. At the time of his passing, he resided in The Fireman’s Home in Hudson, where he was able to share his passions with other firefighters. On May 27, firematic graveside services were held at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Port Jefferson. Donations may be made to The Eternal Flame Fireman’s Memorial at the Fireman’s Home, with checks payable to Firemen’s Association of the State of New York Memorial Fund, 107 Washington Ave., Albany, NY 12210. Forms for brick inscriptions are available at www.firemenshome.com/donations.php

Esposito described the roughly $5 million from New York State, which was allotted to Suffolk County to deal with cleaning the coastal water supply, as seed money. Esposito and Branco both said they believe the commitment of time and money required to solve the nitrogen problem in the water supply will be vast. “We can do this,” she said. “We have to do it. We have no choice.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

Water we going to do about this?

There is no need more basic than clean water. We need it in its simplest form to survive, but we also need it to be clean so that it can sustain the animals and plants we eat and support the environments we live in. So why aren’t we trying harder to avoid pumping it with toxins? Tens of thousands of dead bunker fish have recently washed up on eastern Long Island, killed by low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water. Algal blooms are a cause of those low oxygen levels, and that’s where we come in — the blooms, in turn, can be caused by excess nitrogen in the water. How does that nitrogen get there? It can come from our septic and sewage treatment systems and from the fertilizers we use on our nicely manicured lawns, to name just a few sources. We may not be able to avoid using the toilet, but we can easily refrain from dumping fertilizers with harmful chemicals into the ground and our water supply. But many of us are operating on obsolete waste systems and our governments should be making it a top priority — in action, not just rhetoric — to move communities over from septic to sewer. This is undoubtedly a costly process, but it has benefits beyond the immediate. For example, sewer systems enable and encourage development, which is important for all of

the downtown areas we are working to revitalize. Revitalized downtowns could help keep young people on Long Island, reversing the brain drain that is the source of such frequent sound bites for our politicians. Shoring up our water management plans would create a ripple effect throughout so many other important items on our political and social agendas. Without clean water, none of these ambitious improvements will be achieved. We are calling for a heightened awareness from both our neighbors and our public officials not to let our water initiatives run dry.

Two horseshoe crabs at a Stony Brook beach.

Say ‘Yes’ to horseshoe harvesting limits TO THE EDITOR: Four Harbors Audubon Society supports Supervisor Ed Romaine’s original position to ban horseshoe crab harvest from the Town of Brookhaven. Mr. Supervisor: You were spot-on in your original proposal. These crabs live few places on earth, surviving virtually unchanged for 450 million years. We welcome their presence, particularly in spring, when residents, families, and school groups can watch as they enter shallow waters to lay their eggs. Since the 1990s, crabs have been used in the biomedical field, their blue blood vital to detect toxins. Historically, they were used for fertilizer, because they were free and plentiful. Currently they’re used for bait, primarily to satisfy the food market overseas in Asia, with an appetite for American eels and whelk. That is how humans use horseshoe crabs. But their survival is now challenged. Legal harvests, illegal poaching, and falling numbers make the situation for management dire. Many acted, including the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, which promoted limits in 1999. New Jersey instituted a complete ban and their numbers are recovering. New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation tightened harvest once more in 2006 and our numbers are still in decline. This is where Audubon comes in.

Horseshoe crabs are a keystone species, as they are vital for the survival of other species. Crabs are mostly harvested in spring, when they are easy to catch as they approach shorelines to lay eggs. These eggs are food for fish, and for numerous federally protected migratory shorebirds, and the only food source for a now threatened species, known as the red knot. The red knot’s spring migration is one of the longest on earth — a 9,300mile journey from the southern tip of South America to the Arctic Circle. On the way, red knots drop down from flight and feed here, a visit timed perfectly with the freshly laid eggs of the horseshoe crab. Every loss in horseshoe crab population over the last 20 years has corresponded to a red knot loss, with red knots starving, rather than feeding, on their trip north. If there are those who claim economic concerns, then let’s help them obtain the alternative bait sources which are now available. So, we ask you to stay on course, recognizing that there are vocal objectors who’ve attempted to sway you otherwise. To this we say, there was a time we could take as many crabs as we wanted, without any thought as to their future numbers. But it’s not the world we live in any more, and everyone of us — especially harvesters — should be concerned about their possible elimination. Your ban is timely, and a model for all towns to follow. You actually have the rare power to save a species.

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

Looking for positive role models to celebrate

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

’ve got a proposal for you. You write in and share the kinds of acts that reflect positive role models and I’ll share them with our readers. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got bad news fatigue, reading headlines online and in newspapers about people doing all kinds of terrible things to strangers, neighbors and family members.

Every time an athlete, actor or politician does something embarrassing, awful or illegal, it becomes the talk of the town, triggering endless discussions about negative role models, driven by the pampered lives of those accustomed to living without boundaries. We have become a culture of rubberneckers, watching the “gotcha” moments when reporters demand accountability from horrible landlords. We also watch shows like “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” where people routinely hurt themselves doing ill-advised activities, like jumping over something sharp on a skateboard. Yes, of course, some of those “gotcha” moments can benefit us, helping us as we stay vigilant against the same kind of scams or illegal activities we don’t want to trick us. But what about recognizing and emulating those people who affect positive change and tap into a seemingly endless

wellspring of energy to improve the community? How about the person answering the phone who has a kind, supportive word for anyone who calls; the receptionist who remembers every patient who comes into a doctor’s office; or the crossing guard who holds a stop sign in the middle of the busy morning commute, demanding safety for every child and encouraging anxious kids on their way to classes. As we approach the longest day of the year, I’d like to offer you a chance to celebrate the sunshine in our communities. It’s harder for newspapers to see the sort of random acts of kindness that people share every day. After all, the police have press conferences and updates whenever there’s a crime spree or when someone does something the public needs to know about so we can protect ourselves. A friend of ours recently started battling serious health issues. His

wife has been by his side, while his children continue to go about their daily routines, to the extent possible. They go to school, take tests and walk the dog. Once their friends learned about these challenges, they rallied around the family, signing up through an organization called Lotsa Helping Hands to help provide meals and share in the dog responsibilities. These are the sort of things people routinely do to make life better for each other. We have role models throughout our community. My son’s teacher, for example, recently noticed that he earned a lower grade on a quiz than she was accustomed to seeing from him. He didn’t fail and it didn’t cause his grade to drop dramatically. Still, she didn’t write off the result as a bad day or chalk it up to adolescent distraction. Instead, she asked to speak with him for a moment after class, where she went over each of the areas where he lost points. I’m sure that happens

If you see something great, write in and I’ll share with our readers.

regularly with teachers throughout the community, who encourage and support their students in a way that might one day ignite a successful career. To offer a corollary to the Homeland Security slogan, I’d like to suggest that “If you see something great, say something.” People routinely go out of their way to make a world filled with challenges a better place. It’s often the small things that stay with us through the day, like the magic that comes from transforming a child’s anxious frown into a selfassured grin.

Schmidt and Brooklyn Dodgers’ Tommy Lasorda shoot the breeze in front of the podium. Seattle Mariners’ Ken Griffey Jr. shares a laugh with Andre Dawson, originally a Montreal Expos outfielder, and company at the buffet in back. Art Stewart, a front-office executive and former director of scouting for the Kansas City Royals, asks former outfielder Johnny Damon, most notably from the Royals, Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, for the Wi-Fi password. Originally a pitcher for the Atlanta Braves and currently an active sportscaster, John Smoltz; Detroit Tigers’ shortstop Alan Trammel; Luis Gonzalez, most known for his time spent as an outfielder with the Arizona Diamondbacks; and David Cone, a former pitcher and now commentator for the New York Yankees on the YES Network, who pitched the 16th perfect game in baseball history, struck out 19 batters to tie for the second-most ever in a game, and 1994 Cy Young Award winner are some of the legends that continue to flood in. Manfred then comes out to mingle with them all. Entrenched in the third-base dugout, a quartet of MLB Draft hopefuls were in attendance for the ceremony. Ashe Russell, Brendan Rodgers, Mike Nikorak and Garrett Whitley sit quietly with their parents, watching the scene and occasionally interacting with a former player or two who come over to introduce themselves. As the names get called, polite applause ensues. When one of the four prospects in-studio gets picked, pandemonium ensues. The outfield stands erupt as if the home team hit a walk-off home run. Rodgers was the first, being picked third overall to the Colorado Rockies. He puts on his jersey, shakes Manfred’s hand and is soon after interviewed by Port Jefferson native Sam Ryan. He then takes a phone call from Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich, who playfully asks, “Are you still breathing?” Russell, Whitley and Nikorak follow the same routine once their names are called, going to the Royals, Rays and Rockies, respectively. Nikorak, Rodgers and their parents celebrate the fact that they’ll be teammates again, having been on the field together for the Under Armour All-America Game. As the final names were called

and the cameras went dark, the draftees and their representatives clear out, and all that was left was a mess of papers and water bottles scattered throughout the stadium and stands. It’s a unique phenomenon to observe the beginnings of the young athlete’s careers. In 2011, we witnessed a young man by the name of Mike Trout get called up on stage to receive his Los Angeles Angels jersey. Four years later, he’s the face of the game. How long until we see Rodgers, Russell, Nikorak or Whitley in the big leagues? Only time will tell. Russell best explained the experience before the night began, when he was pacing along the third baseline of Studio 42 in nervousness. Around 10 minutes after being selected by the Roy-

als, Clayton followed up to see how the no longer prospect, but draftee, now felt. “I’m so excited,” he said. “I can’t believe this is happening right now. This is a dream come true.” For Collier, the experience has had similar effects. “As a young sports journalist, it is certainly rewarding to have the opportunity to cover these type of events,” he said. “WSOU at Seton Hall, as a professionally run radio station, offers a number of tremendous opportunities for students such as the MLB Draft. It’s events like these that help you gain the experience necessary to be successful in the media industry. I’ve worked hard at it for several years now, so to be able to cover an event like the MLB Draft for WSOU is very much satisfying.”
