Shoreham-Wading River’s valedictorian Christian Wesselborg and salutatorian Calvin Schmalzle both managed to achieve high marks while squeezing in a helping of extracurricular activities. Wesselborg earned a 101.42 GPA. He is a gold medalist at the Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair, a winner of department awards for both AP Biology and AP Statistics, was named an AP Scholar with Distinction and was honored with a Rensselaer Medal for excellence in math and science. Wesselborg participated in several sports, including wrestling and winter and spring track. He was also recognized as a member of the academic All-County team as a member of the Wildcats varsity soccer team. The senior also spent his time as the robotics team captain and a member of the jazz band. Other than school, Wesselborg participated in Relay Iowa, an adventure over 330 miles long. After four years of high school, Wesselborg plans to attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, where he will study biosciences. Schmalzle finished with a 100.09 GPA. He

is a National Merit Scholarship Commended Student, a Brookhaven National Laboratory High School Research Program summer intern and placed first at the Suffolk County Math Teachers Association precalculus contest. Outside of the classroom Schmalzle was also a member of the school robotics team. After school he played volleyball and ran track and field, earning an All-American nod during winter track and to the All-County academic team during volleyball season. In the fall Schmalzle will attend Clarkson University where he plans to study mechanical engineering and explore his passion for math and physics. He said he’s hoping to land a job in the engineering field. “Christian and Calvin are both exceptional students who represent the well-rounded education at Shoreham-Wading River High School,” Principal Frank Pugliese said. “Their commitment to school, community and extracurricular activities will certainly drive their future successes.” Schmalzle said the things he would miss the most from his time in high school are his friends and family. He said other students that look to do well should do their due diligence. “Work hard and believe in yourself,” he said.

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNESMEDIA.COM Mount Sinai’s valedictorian Jonathan Yu and salutatorian Jack Pilon are like many other students in their class, looking forward to college, and even further, future careers. Yu finished with a 103.12 GPA. The senior was the environmental club vice president, a National Merit Scholarship award winner and he ran winter and spring track. He said his proudest accomplishments were as a member of the school’s Ocean Bowl team. The team is made up of four students who travel to competitions where they test their knowledge of marine sciences, including biology, chemistry, physics and geology. This year the team won the regional Bay Scallop Bowl at Stony Brook University and went on to compete in the National Ocean Sciences Bowl, where it placed eighth. “It was a great accomplishment,” Yu said. “It was great to explore, go to different places and meet new people.” Yu will attend Georgia Institute of Technology where he plans to study physics, a subject which to Yu is a means to understanding a complex world. “The world is so complicated — so it’s nice to simplify it,” Yu said. “At the simplest level

everything in the universe follows a certain set of rules, and I think that’s amazing.” Yu said he hopes to take his passion for the subject to work as a researcher, and added if he had any choice of destination, it would be to work in Antarctica. “It just seems like a really interesting place,” Yu said. “There is so much going on, from ice movement to the wildlife.” As a word of advice for incoming high school freshmen, he said kids have to help each other so that everyone can succeed. “It’s just the right thing to do,” he said. Pilon graduated with a 103.52 GPA. The senior has been team captain for spring and winter track, National Honor Society president and a member of the school’s orchestra, but his highlight moments were spent as this year’s class president. In his junior year, Pilon and his fellow class officers created committees on prom, homecoming, fundraising and class trips that were joined by students interested in having a say in running the school events. “These were students who wouldn’t have originally had the opportunity or even interest in school government, and we were able to get them involved,” Pilon said. Being class president is just a part of Pilon’s interest in government and politics.

From left, Mount Sinai seniors Jonathan Yu and Jack Pilon were named this year’s valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. It’s why he plans to major in government while attending the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University. “It kind of drew from what I did as class president — you’re really able to create change, and it’s something I’m really interested in,” Pilon said. But that isn’t his only interest. He is

attending the arts and sciences college to see which of his interests — medicine, government or business — draws more of his attention. Pilon said anybody who wants to enjoy high school should look to get involved. “Use the opportunities given to you,” he said. “Explore everything you can, take the hard classes and be up to the challenge.”

Rocky Point’s top of the class earn high marks

This year’s top two Rocky Point seniors had very close GPAs, but very different interests. Valedictorian Connor Middleton, who focused on government and politics, graduated with a 106.71 GPA. He received a perfect score of 800 on his SAT II U.S. History test; was a member of the varsity lacrosse team; a Human Rights Institute for High School Leaders presenter and facilitator; a Students Building Bridges Award recipient; garnered state, senate and assembly citations for community service; is a kempo jiujitsu black belt; and a Peer Networking facilitator with socially challenged students. Beyond all that, he said his best experience was as the vice president of the school’s Human Rights Club, which has worked to spread knowledge on the subject and its abuse taking place all over the world. “It’s something that we’ve built up over the years and it’s something I’m really passionate about,” Middleton said. “I’ve been fortunate to have good teachers in [history,] and they’ve just helped me gather interest in it. They made history come alive.” Middleton will be attending Williams College in Massachusetts where he will be double majoring in political philosophy and economy with a concentration in global studies. He said he hopes to take that knowledge to the state department or the

Rocky Point seniors Connor Middleton and Kyle Markland were named this year’s valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. United Nations as a diplomat, an ambassador or an economic advisor. He said he’d like to travel to developing countries to work with nations on human trafficking, human rights abuses and natural disaster relief. “I think spending your first year or two getting involved and immersing yourself in

activities both inside and outside of school, and sticking with it, is important,” Middleton said. “It was helpful for me.” Salutatorian Kyle Markland was just edged out by Middleton, graduating with a 106.69 GPA, but heavily involved in robotics and engineering.

Markland was a member of the crosscountry and field and track teams, played double bass in the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York at Carnegie Hall and helped found Rocky Point’s robotics teams, all while running a YouTube channel that focuses on LEGO Mindstorms robot building. This year he published a book detailing how to build several quirky and complicated LEGO robots. In May, Markland attended the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which was attended by students from over 75 countries. “I had what was probably the best week of my life,” Markland said of his experience in Pennsylvania. “I didn’t end up placing, but it was such an awesome experience because we had 1,800 kids about my age who were just as interested in research and technology as I was.” Markland will attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he plans to study engineering on a robotics track. He said he hopes to open his own technology or robotics company, or would like to work with major car manufacturing companies on self-driving car technology. Markland said those kids going into their first year of high school this September should make the most out of the next four years. “Work hard now, because these four years are possibly the most pivotal four years of your life,” Markland said. “There’s nothing more powerful than somebody who plans their work and works their plan.”

Miller Place seniors excelled in and outside of classroom Miller Place High School valedictorian Nicole Cirrito and salutatorian Victoria Calandrino have worked hard both in the classroom and on the sports field.

Cirrito graduated with a 100.77 GPA and won several academic awards, including the Rensselaer Medal Award for Excellence in Math and Science, the Advanced Placement Language Expository Writing Award, scholarathlete awards in track and field hockey and was named an AP scholar with honors. Her SAT score sits at a healthy 1520. Cirrito is an active member of the school’s yearbook club, service club and the Foreign Language Honor Society. As an athlete, she has been recognized as All-League and All-Division on her spring track team. She also ran cross-country. “I’m going to miss my friends the most, that and running track,” Cirrito said. Some of her proudest accomplishments were done as vice president of the National Honor Society, where she participated in setting up blood drives, food drives and other charitable events. “We got to do things for our community and we were able to become very involved in all the planning and executing” Cirrito said. She will be attending Stony Brook University in the fall where she will study math in the honors program with the hopes of becoming a math teacher. “I like the ability to figure out what problems are ahead of you just using what you know,” Cirrito said. “I’ve always wanted to be a teacher since I was younger, and when I got older and I learned I liked math. I just knew I wanted to be a math teacher.” Calandrino graduated with a 99.87 GPA and received high marks on advanced

placement exams, including a perfect score in AP Psychology. She is the receiver of awards for excellence in AP Psychology, AP World History and AP Language and Composition. In school she has been active as a member in the school orchestra and on the school soccer and track teams. Outside of school she held several leadership positions, including secretary of the National Honor Society, in which she recorded meeting minutes and worked to help set up events. The most fun she said she’s had in her activities out of school involved an internship for Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), where she aided the politician in the offices response to the White House attempting to lift the ban on wildlife trophies as well as the legislator’s efforts in dealing with local feral cat problems. “In Miller Place we have a feral cat problem, and my family adopted a cat that we found outside, so I got to work with different vets around Miller Place and Mount Sinai to coordinate the office’s efforts,” Calandrino said. She will be attending Boston University where she will be studying political science on a prelaw track. Though at the moment she intends on going into law, she said she is leaving herself open to studying politics or world history, specifically looking at working in international relations. Calandrino said students entering high school who might think they enjoy a subject should use the available AP classes to

1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

Gershon emerges from field of five in Democratic primary BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

ALEX PETROSKI

The stage is finally set for what will likely be a fierce campaign leading up to the November midterm elections. Perry Gershon, a largely self-funded firsttime candidate for political office, who spent years as a commercial mortgage lender and a small business owner, defeated four other Democrats aiming to take down incumbent 1st District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) June 26. More than 20,300 1st District voters turned out to vote in the primary, which was open to only those registered as members of the party, as per New York State law. Gershon secured 7,226 votes, beating former Suffolk County Legislator Kate Browning, his closest competitor, by about 1,000 votes. Vivian Viloria-Fisher, another former legislator, finished third with 3,314 votes. In 2016, about 12,600 registered Democrats went to the polls on primary day to choose between Anna Throne-Holst and Dave Calone. “The voters showed that we’re tired of what’s going on in Washington,” Gershon said to a room full of supporters and volunteers at his campaign headquarters in Setauket when it became clear his lead would hold up. He thanked his family and those who worked to help him win the nomination, as well as the other four

People want a new breed, and that’s what I stand for.” Zeldin, who has been quiet about his potential challengers, wasted no time getting the campaign started on Twitter once Gershon became the presumed victor.

“Park Ave Perry may have bought himself the Democratic Party nomination in NY-1, but our Congressional seat is not for sale,” the incumbent wrote. “NY-1 isn’t electing a far left, Pelosi-loving, NYC Democrat who registered in our district very recently just to run for Congress.” In an interview after his win, Gershon said he intends to make his campaign about

health care, the environment and creating high-wage jobs in the 1st District. “I’m really excited, I feel like people believed in me and I’m so happy for it,” he said. Many of those believers were people who readily admitted they’d never gotten much involved in politics in the past. “I’ve seen a lot of people, like at my school, very few people who cared about politics beforehand but after the March for Our Lives, after the result of the Never Again movement, and even after what’s happening at the border right now, far more young people are getting involved,” said Scott Egnor, a Ward Melville High School student who helped organize the youth-led local gun control protests in March. He cited Gershon’s desire to ban assault-style weapons and strengthen background checks as the driving force behind his motivation to volunteer for his campaign. “Even at the office, he still wears his March for Our Lives hat, and I think that spoke to me a lot.” Browning said in an interview from her watch party in Patchogue she’s not sure what her next move might be in politics, but vowed to support Gershon’s efforts to flip the seat in November. “It’s about taking out Lee Zeldin, and we all need to regroup and support [Gershon],” she said. All five candidates told TBR News Media in May they intended to support the winner. Rita J. Egan contributed reporting

“Mickey Mantle, he was my idol. It was very hard to play baseball at 19 when you’re sitting next to your idol.” These are the words of former Major League Baseball player Frank Tepedino, now 70, on his earliest experiences playing for the New York Yankees. He was able to enjoy a blast-from-the-past type of weekend at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx Sunday, June 17, with friends and family on hand to cheer him on. The St. James resident grew up playing baseball in the streets and parks of Brooklyn with many family members who were also talented ballplayers. As early as 16 years old, Tepedino received attention from professional scouts who took notice of his exceptional skills. During the mid-1960s, the young hitter was becoming increasingly feared for his consistency to hit well against opposing pitchers. As a teenager, Tepedino played for the Brooklyn Cadets, an amateur baseball squad that defeated other competitive teams in the city and on Long Island. Fifteen of the 20 players on the team were drafted by major league clubs. As a 17-year-old who developed a dynamic swing, he was drafted 33rd overall in the country by the Baltimore Orioles. Some of the earliest scouting information compiled on Tepedino was gathered by former Yankee manager Joe Torre’s father, Joe Sr., who reported on his considerable abilities. Once he signed with Baltimore, Tepedino

earned a $50,000 bonus he immediately gave to his parents to move them into a new home. The descendent of a traditional Italian family, he got his earliest professional experience in a small West Virginia town. He moved rapidly through the Orioles farm system. “You had to trust your own skills and continue to learn about the game from your coaches and older players,” Tepedino said. As it has been his custom to speak to thousands of students during his retirement, Tepedino always mentions that he had the “God-given ability to hit the ball consistently.” Former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Fred Cambria said he believed Tepedino had “one of the best swings that you could ever see and he was a gentleman from the moment that we met some decades ago in baseball.” As many other ballplayers experienced in that era, Tepedino had to take a stint away from the game to serve his country. During the height of the Vietnam War in the late 1960s, the Orioles’ management instructed their better players to try to enlist into the Army Reserve or the National Guard. This allowed prospects to still serve in the armed forces and to play baseball at the same time. Tepedino enlisted in the Marine Corps and while he was at Parris Island, South Carolina, his mother wrote him and sent a press clipping that he was exposed in the rule 5 draft by the Orioles and that he was traded and elevated to the majors to play for the New York Yankees. At 19 years old, Tepedino sat next to the

Below, Tepedino greets Yankee great Willie Randolph at first base. very players he idolized, listening to on the radio and watching at the stadium as a kid. During a spring training game, he sprained his ankle sliding into a base and was told to have it checked out in the locker room. While Tepedino was resting, the legendary Yankee Clipper, Joe DiMaggio, inquired about his injury. He later had hitting conversations with Red Sox great Ted Williams, was given conditioning training by Olympian Jesse Owens, and met former president and general, Dwight Eisenhower. Tepedino, who was just old enough to drive a car at the time, earned his first hit against Jim “Mudcat” Grant and homered against Catfish Hunter of the Athletics. He also had a front seat in history, watching Mantle famously hobble around the bases when he hit his 500th career home run in 1967. But the path to gain regular playing time was a difficult one with formidable teammates of Joe Pepitone, John Ellis, Ron Blomberg and the aging Mantle to compete against. On the field and in the clubhouse, Tepedino was always known for his easy demeanor and this was seen through his close friendships with Yankee greats like Thurmon Munson, Bobby Murcer, Willie Randolph and Bobby Cox. Later in his career, he was on the same team with Atlanta Braves star Hank Aaron, and once again witnessed a historic achievement from the field when Hammerin’ Hank slugged his 715th career home run in 1974, surpassing Babe Ruth. Tepedino retired from baseball in 1978, opening a new chapter in his life that eventually led him to be hired by the New York City Fire Patrol. To make ends meet, he was a longtime employee of Port Jeff Sports, where he screen-printed many of the jerseys worn by the local kids who played every type of sport. While working behind the counter he was known for giving a helping hand to fathers and sons in picking which bat and glove would best suit them. Armed with a big smile, Tepedino was always known to help others, especially when it came to baseball. When America was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, Tepedino, along with thousands of other rescue workers, rushed into the city to help those that were suffering from the

earliest moments of the attack. The former Yankee worked 24-hour tours during which he opened manhole covers, searched for trapped people and aided in the painful process of cleaning up lower Manhattan. “Tepedino on a regular basis represents the goodness of professional athletes to help with vital social, educational and veterans’ endeavors,” said Joe Cognitore, commander of VFW Post 6249 in Rocky Point. As a New York Yankee and a rescue worker, Tepedino was asked by his former team to throw out the first pitch during the divisional playoffs against the Oakland Athletics in 2001. Some 17 years later, he was back on the field to wear the pinstripes once again to play in the Old-Timers’ Day game. It has always been observed by Tepedino’s youngest daughter, Danielle, that her dad is “always wanting to make all of the people around him smile.” His big smile could be seen across the baseball diamond as Tepedino played first base, and he wished every Yankee that ran in his direction a Happy Father’s Day. From the moments that he dominated the sandlot fields in Brooklyn to this past weekend, Tepedino has always held his head high and has been a special citizen who has aided others inside and outside of the baseball lines. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor at Suffolk County Community College.

Zeldin on reducing drug prices KYLE BARR

We need to keep 2018 graduates on LI Hundreds of Long Island students have accepted their high school diplomas this week. We’ve sent them off into the world armed with the best advice and pearls of wisdom we have to offer. In doing so, we can’t help but hope this isn’t goodbye. The Class of 2018 students are each pursuing his or her own version of the American Dream. What defines that dream can vary greatly — whether it’s studying medicine at Stony Brook University, learning a trade or joining the military. The question we have to ask is this: When these students are envisioning their futures, how many picture himself or herself staying on Long Island? While parents and teachers are taking pride — and deserved pats on the back — in getting this year’s seniors through their first 12 years of schooling, it doesn’t stop there. The older generation and its leadership must continue to take action to transform Long Island into an attractive and affordable place for young adults to live. “We spend a lot of money educating our kids here,” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) acknowledged in his 2018 State of the County address. “Too many of them have left for other parts of the country, where they are helping to power their regional economies. We have to stop that.” For the first time in two decades, there is a glimmer of hope that the brain drain trend is starting to slow. The population of people between ages 20 and 34 living in Nassau and Suffolk counties has increased by 7.6 percent from 2010 to 2015 — for the first time since 1990 — according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2015 Population Estimates, as stated in a June 2017 report by the Long Island Association. LIA is a nonprofit organization that advocates for policies, programs and projects that benefit Long Island and support economic development and infrastructure investments. However, there’s still 100,000 fewer residents in the 20 to 34 age group on Long Island than in 1990. So, there’s still a ways to go in attracting and keeping bright, young professionals on Long Island. To this end, Suffolk County Legislature’s Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) proposed legislation June 22 that would instruct Suffolk’s Department of Economic Development and Planning to create a pilot program to address the issues causing millennials to leave for less expensive areas. While there are few specific details available on this proposal, Gregory has pointed to other municipalities creating programs that help young adults with student debt purchase homes while still paying down their loans. This is but one step in the right direction. As the Class of 2018 disperses, their parents’ work shifts from helping with science projects and math homework to advocating for local change that will improve the quality of life young adults can expect on Long Island. Better entry-level job opportunities that offer competitive salaries without requiring travel into the city are needed, and more affordable housing and assistance to put the down payment on a house to help start a family are also important. Take a few days to rejoice and celebrate with the graduating Class of 2018, but there is much work to be done creating a brighter, more youthful future for Long Island.

The rising cost of prescription drugs has dealt a crushing blow to the wallets of everyday Americans and put a great strain on the government-supported programs that benefit some of our country’s most vulnerable populations — our seniors, children, disabled and impoverished communities. According to a report by Express Scripts, a prescription benefits company, between 2008 and 2015, name brand drug prices increased by 164 percent. These price spikes frequently make lifesaving medications unaffordable. When it comes to driving down the cost of prescription drugs for those who need it most, we must consider every option. This Congress, in an effort to keep pace with an ever-changing marketplace and ever-evolving scientific innovation, the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (H.R. 2430) was passed into law to bring lower-cost generic drug alternatives and biosimilars to market faster by increasing competition and lowering drug costs. With an increase in authority and flexibility, this reauthorization streamlines the process for reviewing and approving new treatments and cures for patients, ultimately delivering new and innovative therapies, drugs and devices to patients more quickly. Under current law, the federal government has the ability to negotiate the prices of the prescription drugs government purchases from manufacturers, but the negotiating authority is insufficient and outdated. Currently, the federal government has the ability to n egotiate prices under Medicare, but even when the government can negotiate prices, it is hamstrung by overregulation that ensures it

cannot push for the same prices charged throughout the rest of the world. Under Medicare Part D, before reimbursing doctors, Medicare adds 6 percent to the sales price reported by pharmaceutical companies, then forces patients to cover 20 percent of the total cost. The burden to negotiate for prices is disproportionately left to doctors, often small practitioners who lack the market power to bargain effectively. As a result, Medicare pays significantly more than European countries for the same drugs, passing costs along to taxpayers and patients alike. The drug companies receive a windfall from Medicare’s lack of negotiating ability, reporting profit margins more than double market averages and earning upward of an additional $50 billion a year in revenue from overcharging consumers. So what else can government do to lower the price of prescription drug prices? With some reforms, Medicare Part D could provide the rough outlines of a solution. Within Medicare Part D, private nonprofit and for-profit health insurance companies bid to provide prescription drug coverage for Medicare beneficiaries and separately negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies. The incentive for Part D plan sponsors to negotiate lower prices comes from the fact that they can then reduce their premiums for Medicare beneficiaries and therefore attract more customers. Due to the fact the taxpayer subsidy depends on the bids submitted by plan sponsors, this competition benefits not only Medicare beneficiaries, but taxpayers overall. Medicare Part D should be reformed to provide increased

flexibility of plans to enhance negotiating power with drug manufacturers and drive down costs for beneficiaries. Notably, the bid system within Medicare Part D could ensure that cheap and effective generic products reach consumers. By forcing companies to bid for Medicare’s business, the government could promote competition within the marketplace, driving down prices on name-brand products. While depression-medication Wellbutrin costs, on average, $6,000 per 100 pills, its generic counterpart, Bupropion, costs only $50-$60 for the same quantity. Though namebrand anxiety drug Ativan also costs, on average, $6,000 for 100 pills, an equal supply of Lorazepam costs only $2-$3. The shocking discrepancies in price continue across the board, from asthma m edication to EpiPen to blood pressure drugs to cancer treatments. The recent price spike in a two-pack of EpiPen from around $100 to over $600 epitomizes the monopoly power of the drug companies. The producer of EpiPen could overcharge customers at will, confident that few generic counterparts could compete. Similarly, the price of insulin to treat diabetes tripled within 10 years, the cost of asthma medication increased 6 percent and the price of Betaseron spiked from $8,000 per year to close to $60,000. Americans who rely on EpiPen and other drugs in potentially life-and-death situations have been railroaded with a lifesaving medication at a price they cannot afford, and we must work to drive down the increasingly burdensome cost they have been saddled with.

Recognizing community news To the publisher: Congratulations on the numerous awards Times Beacon Record News Media received at the New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. Your news organization has long had a reputation for excellence in local journalism. These awards only reinforce what your readers and the communities you serve have known. Local newspapers are the backbone of our communities and our democracy. They keep our residents informed about our

government, the daily happenings in our community and the lives of our neighbors. In an age of social media, local newspapers like yours continue to be the unofficial record of who we are as a community and a first draft of our history as it occurs. In his book “Democracy in America,” Alexis de Tocqueville wrote, “The power of the periodical press is second only to that of the people.” Tocqueville understood that governmental power flows up from our local towns, cities and counties, which

is why the Constitution begins with the words, “We the People.” The local press plays a vital and indispensable role in a democratic society. We are fortunate to have journalists at our community newspapers who are recognized by their peers for quality reporting and for publishing an excellent newspaper every week from cover to cover. Again, congratulations on an honor that is truly deserved.

OPINION

Celebrating all of America on Independence Day

irst of all, we’re going to need a big cake. No, I know you think most cakes are big and that most people’s eyes are bigger than their stomachs, but this one is going to have to be huge. You see, we’re about to celebrate an important birthday. Next week, it’s the 242nd birthday of the country, so we’ll need a place to put all the candles. So, what do we get for the country that has everything? Well, for starters, it depends on what you imagine By Daniel Dunaief represents the country. Is it the Statue of Liberty? The bald eagle? A baseball game? Mount Rushmore? The Grand Canyon?

D. None of the above

Seriously, this is one huge country and we haven’t even discussed the last two states to join the union. Alaska is a gem, with vistas stretching as far as the eye can see, as shimmering spawning salmon make streams and rivers glow orange, while bears nibble here and there as cars and buses pass them along the sides of the highways. Hawaii reminded everyone this year that it’s a volcanic archipelago. It’s a magnificent and lush combination of majestic mountains, bamboo forests and striking cliffs. So, what would this great country of ours want for its birthday? Well, maybe it would want us, even for a day, to all get along. We are all Americans, we have all heard the stories about the forefathers who fought for this country, who defied the British, and who wanted what was best for them and, all these years later, us. Maybe it would want us to tidy up. After all, who doesn’t want to look

good on their birthday, right? We could clean up our yards, clean up our neighbor’s yard, remove trash from the area around the school, a place so many enthusiastic children recently abandoned for the start of the summer. Maybe we should take a moment to think about how we are helping ourselves, or others, reach the American Dream. We all want life to be better, but maybe we can encourage others to strive for, and reach, a dream that anyone from anywhere could reach greatness. We are not like Europeans of past centuries, who limited opportunities for success by class, gender or ancestry. The home of the free and the land of the brave is all about allowing anyone from any walk of life to reach their potential and, more importantly, to decide their potential. America is about celebrating youth. We are a young country, filled with hope for the future, unbridled optimism and joy.

Regardless of what politicians in Washington say, we are also a country that likes to laugh, even at ourselves. We have a great sense of humor. Need a laugh? Watch “Bridesmaids” or “Groundhog Day” — or if in the mood for something older, “Animal House.” We pull apart and then we come together. We speak with different accents, depending on where we come from or what part of the world our ancestors originally inhabited. When we come together, we are unstoppable, finding our best selves from the roles we play in companies, on teams, or in close-knit families that stand ready, willing and able to support each other through any challenge. Sure, we can hang the flag, eat a hot dog, have a barbecue and sing a few American songs to celebrate our country. But, hey, maybe we can also look for the best in each other and in ourselves as we again give hope to the notion that a rising tide of optimism, of cooperation, of compassion lifts all boats.

And by the time the movie was over, I believe there was an enriched sense of community among those in the room. As much as we want to know where we came from, we also enjoy a sense of belonging to a community. One viewer from farther away came up to me at the end and said he wished for that pride in his city. That particularly pleased me because we as publishers of the hometown paper have always sought to strengthen those ties. Strong communities can be a powerful force for good. They also want to get the latest local news by reading the local papers, which is not so bad for us. Making a film was a new experience. My eldest grandson, Benji, the director of “One Life to Give,” aspires to be a professional filmmaker as his career progresses, and as we saw he has already acquired many filmmaking skills in college, where he is now a senior. He also brought to us for this venture a remarkable hardworking and talented crew of young professionals in front of and behind the camera. Thanks to our local connections, which included local historical societies and carefully preserved sites, we were able to put together an authentic venue for the

shoot. The weather was wondrously cooperative, and actors and historic re-enactors of considerable skill joined the team. Local restaurants, costume outfitters, dry cleaners, scenery designers, makeup and special effects people and SBU, among others, made in-kind contributions. Muskets and cannons were procured and brought to the filming site, often among hilarious circumstances. One rule became obvious: No day would go exactly as planned. A number of generous local businesses helped us meet costs by agreeing to be sponsors, and for their help they received credits before and after the film. Their names will be seen near and far as a number of groups have asked to show the film. My major contribution was offering my house for the 15 young people and their equipment throughout the shoot. I can tell you there was not a clear view of floor or rug during those 16 days. It was great fun with high excitement but on their next film, the shooting of which starts in two weeks’ time for release next year, they will definitely stay in a hotel.

House full for our hometown movie

unday was a magical night. After a full year of work, we offered you, our readers and viewers, the initial screening of “One Life to Give.” Our first full-length film, the story is set at the beginning of the Revolutionary War more than 200 years ago, and is about Nathan Hale, Benjamin Tallmadge, George Washington and the events leading up to the founding of the Culper Spy Ring. The location for this screening was the 1,000seat Staller Center off Nicholls Road within Stony Brook University, and to my amazement and delight, we filled the By Leah S. Dunaief auditorium to the point where our general manager had trouble finding a seat just before curtain time. This full house by itself is a most gratifying testimony to your regard and to the pulling power of our newspapers

Between you and me

and digital media, especially competing as we were with graduation day at the local high school. It’s also a lot more. In these chaotic and divided times, I believe we yearn to understand our common origin as a nation and the history that we share. History after all is glue that holds us together and, to the surprise of many students who hate social studies in school, is also the series of fascinating stories about people, personalities and events that help define who we are today. And since our film is focused on local people and events, we share a pride of place. Our area has been dubbed the “cradle of history” because of its brutal occupation by the British, the activities of the spy ring and the military skirmishes during the war. Long Island, in fact, endured the longest occupation of any part of the colonies because its farms and forests, livestock and fish made up the unwilling breadbasket for the major British garrison in New York City. So viewers came to see the history and the authentic local scenes and events, and the familiar faces of many residents as they served as extras on screen. Also some were simply curious.
