Hello everybody, I’m Rita Egan. When I started as a freelance writer with the Times Beacon Record Newspapers a few years ago, I never imagined that one day I would be introducing myself as editor of The Village Times Herald. Yet, here I am. Two weeks ago I started training to replace Donna Newman, who retired last week, and you are about to read my first issue as editor. As someone who grew up in Smithtown, just a few miles away from the Three Village area, I know our readers have a great sense of community. I look forward to becoming part of this group and continuing The Village Times Herald’s mission of being residents’ go-to source for local news. As I begin my new journey with the paper, I’m curious to hear what concerns Three Village residents may have and what interesting events are taking place.

Setauket teen accused of lying about sexual assault By Rita J. egan rita@tbrnewspapers.com South Setauket native Nikki Yovino turned herself into the Bridgeport Police Department last week after a warrant for her arrest was issued. The 2016 Ward Melville graduate is accused of filing a false police report and tampering with evidence involving a case where she reported two men for sexual assault, according to the Bridgeport Police Department website. After attending a party Oct. 15, Yovino reported that two black males sexually assaulted her. The Sacred Heart University student said she was at an off-campus house party in Bridgeport when the assault occurred in a bathroom of the home. One of the alleged assailants was also a

student at the university, and a football player, and the second was a former student. According to the police department’s website, “BPD detectives conducted a thorough investigation and met several times with SHU administrators. Initial statements from witnesses and evidence recovered from the scene suggested that a sexual assault had occurred. As the investigation continued, the case detective received more information that contradicted Yovino’s statements to police. This new information included new witness accounts, text messages and cell phone video. Yovino was confronted with this evidence, and admitted that she, in fact, did have consensual sex with both males.” The police department’s website also states that with this admission, probable

‘As the investigation continued, the case detective received more information that contradicted Yovino’s statements to police.’ — Bridgeport police cause existed to charge the woman with a false report and tampering with evidence. A warrant was issued, and after being informed of the warrant, Yovino turned herself into the police Feb. 21. Yovino’s attorney, Mark Sherman, expects his client to plead not guilty at a March 3 arraignment. According to the Stamford-based criminal lawyer, he would not be able to comment further about the case until he was provided with police reports and video footage. “The details of what happened here will come out at the appropriate time during the court process,” the lawyer wrote in an email. Kimberly A. Primicerio, assistant director of media relations for Sacred Heart University couldn’t confirm whether or not Yovino is still enrolled at the school, citing the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act that prevents providing information about specific students. “I can say that some of the early infor-

Whenever there is any kind of incident at Sacred Heart University, we go to great lengths to ensure due process for all parties involved. The way that this particular case is playing out certainly demonstrates the validity of our procedures.”

history close at hand

Historical society talks myths, legends of Revolutionary spymaster By Beverly C. tyler “Spies” Nest: Major John André’s Activities at Raynham Hall in Oyster Bay, was the featured program for the Three Village Historical Society’s free lecture series at the Setauket Neighborhood House Feb. 27. Historian Claire Bellerjeau presented her famed lecture on the British Revolutionary War spymaster John André to an eager audience of historians, history buffs, society members and the general public. Bellerjeau began her dramatic presentation by reminding the audience that there has been a great deal of misinformation written and presented as fact about the people and events of the Revolutionary War over the past two-and-ahalf centuries. Many of the stories and tales surrounding the activities of British officers and their relationships with the Townsend

LEGALS

family in Oyster Bay have grown with the telling and were perpetuated by writer after writer using the same undocumented sources that became the justification around which a dramatic story was created. Bellerjeau, presently an historian for the Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster Bay, the ancestral home of General George Washington’s Culper Spy Robert Townsend, traveled to the archives of the New York Historical Society, the William L. Clements Library in Michigan and to Toronto, Canada to research the Revolutionary War era documents that tell a more accurate, and no less dramatic story of the events surrounding the life and death of Major John André, the chief of British intelligence in New York City who worked secretly to assist Continental Army General Benedict Arnold in his effort to turn the American fortress at West Point over to the British. André visited the British headquarters of British Major John Graves Simcoe at the Townsend home, now Raynham Hall, in Oyster Bay a number of times as the two British officers were friends who corresponded with each other regularly. However, the story of Sally Townsend overhearing a conversation about General Benedict Arnold between the two officers and informing her brother Robert Townsend—alias Samuel Culper Jr. of the Culper Spy Ring—is just that, a story, as the facts uncovered by Bellerjeau definitely place them in other locations at that critical time. Bellerjeau’s enthusiastic presentation

DiSiena addressed Zeldin’s plans going forward regarding a traditional town hall. “Way too many of the people at the moment requesting town halls across the country are doing so with the purpose of disrupting the town hall without any interest at all in decorum,” she said. Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Arizona), who was shot during an outdoor, public meeting with constituents in 2011, called on members of Congress to “face their constituents” and hold town halls in a tweet Feb. 23. DiSiena said Zeldin is open to small meetings, though no in-person town hall is currently planned.

Conversely, Suozzi stood and engaged a large crowd of residents and activists, answering more than 30 questions on a variety of hot topics, including the repeal of the ACA, the relationship between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Trump’s travel restriction executive order. He also voiced his disapproval of what’s happening in the White House, and called on those in attendance to “not hate Trump supporters” and instead turn their anger into something productive. “I think this is as American as you can get ... this is so inspiring and this country needs this type of engagement,” Suozzi told the crowd, saying in all his years of holding town hall meetings — both as a congressional candidate and mayor of Glen Cove — he’s never seen an attendance like what he had. “We need to take all this energy and excitement that we’ve got and use it in a constructive fashion ... to work together to win the battles,” he said. “Write letters to the editor, attend issues meetings, run for office, support people for local office. What we really need are reasonable Americans that will put their country before their party to help us to get Congressional support on [issues]. Don’t underestimate what’s working.” A civil discourse on ideas and plenty of smiles and laughs, Suozzi’s session had a different tone than the heated ones across the country, in which angry constituents waged vocal war against Republican representatives. Suozzi began the gathering by telling attendees — some of whom represented local activist groups like North Shore Indivisible, MoveOn.org, and Science Advocacy of Long Island — to be respectful and direct all comments to him. Attendees raised questions about Trump’s ties to Russia, the release of the commanderin-chief’s taxes, gun violence, immigration, climate change and the state of health care. One attendee, Jessica Meyer, who has

cerebral palsy, asked the congressman if he would help those like her who fear people with disabilities might lose benefits with the potential repeal of the ACA. “People with disabilities are getting lost in this conversation,” she said. Suozzi responded to her concerns. “I want you to know that I will fight tooth and nail to protect you, personally, and everybody in your situation, and I want to hear from everybody in this room who’s going to fight to protect Jessica,” Suozzi said. Harry Arlin, a World War II and Korean War veteran from Huntington, said he lived briefly under Adolf Hitler in Germany and Joseph Stalin in Russia, though fled both countries. “I’m too old to run again,” he said. Seven-year-old Zachary Aquino echoed Arlin’s sentiments. “I don’t think this is right having Trump as president, I think it’s really bad,” he said. “I don’t know how this happened — how we got stuck in this mess — but it’s good that we’re here today ... this is a really valuable time. Fighting against Trump is very good. We’ve got to do this.” When asked what he was going to do to restore one attendee’s faith in “American exceptionalism,” Suozzi pointed around the room. “This is it — this is people who believe and should not walk out of here with anything but a stronger belief that by being involved, you can actually have an impact on things,” he said. The White House has made claims recently to suggest some activists attending town halls are being paid to be there and rile up crowds, a sentiment which Zeldin echoed in a Feb. 18 Facebook post. “Liberal obstructionists are disrupting, resisting and destructing public events all around America,” he wrote. “Our neighbors want to actually engage in substantive, productive, constructive dialogue, and the liberal obstructionists are spitting on them with their shameful shows for their own political theater.”

Community club cooking for a cause Recently, the members of R.C. Murphy Junior High School’s Community Collections Club rolled up their sleeves and made 13 chicken potpies for local families in need. The students used their culinary skills to prepare the filling of cooked chicken,

vegetables and spices. They then froze the mixture in a piecrust for the receiving families to enjoy at a later time. The students also ensured that cooking instructions were included in the care packages so families could easily heat up the chicken potpies.

obituary David Poulos

David Poulos, 51, of Beallsville, Maryland, died Feb. 20. He was the loving husband of Kimberley Poulos. Born March 27, 1965, in Port Jefferson, he was the youngest of six children born to the late Steven and Ena Marie Poulos. Poulos was a volunteer firefighter with the Setauket Fire Department Engine Company 1 for 20 years. He continued his life of public service, joining the Montgomery County Department of Police in 1999 until his untimely death.

Left to cherish his memory besides his wife are sisters Betty Poulos and Carol Ann Lyon, brother Steven, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. David was predeceased by his sisters Karen Poulos and Nancy Poulos-Drevitson. A celebration of David’s life will be held at Montgomery County Police Headquarters March 4 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Poulos’ name to Friends of Homeless Animals, P.O. Box 415, Aldie, VA 20105 or Setauket Fire Department Benevolent Association, PO Box 271 East Setauket, NY 11733.

Celebrating service members On Feb. 11, Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Valerie M. Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) attended the Stony Brook Fire Department’s Annual Installation Dinner at Flowerfield in St. James to honor the company’s members for their service to the community. “I commend the members of the Stony Brook Fire Department who give so much of their time to community service,” Romaine said. “We all owe them a large debt

of gratitude for their dedication, training and hard work, which helps to save countless lives every year.” Certificates of Congratulations from the town board were presented to 2016 Members of the Year, members with Year of Service milestones and outgoing officers. “We thank the firefighters and emergency personnel who volunteer their time to protect our residents,” Cartright said. “You are a valued part of our community.”

Setauket grad hired as new SCCC sports intern Setauket’s Danielle Shangold, a 2015 SUNY Cortland graduate and master’s degree candidate in sports management was named a new intern in Suffolk County Community College’s athletic department for the spring 2017. She will help with athletic event setups and coordination for winter

and spring sports, social media for Suffolk’s athletic teams and provide media relations support. “The first place I considered doing my required internship was Suffolk,” said Shangold, a 2011 Ward Melville graduate, “because the college is known for its superior athletics programs.”

Clockwise from left, Suffolk County executive Steve Bellone urged residents, with the help of Legislator Sarah Anker, to sign a petition to ask the state to uphold the Community Protection Act.

Bellone urges state to uphold strict sex offender legislation By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com In light of recent court rulings and pending lawsuits in favor of sex offenders, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) is urging the New York State Legislature to follow in the county’s footsteps and get tough on sex criminals by passing legislation that gives the county authorization to uphold its strict laws against them. On Feb. 11, Bellone and Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) spoke with parents and residents in Miller Place about supporting and protecting the rules within the Suffolk County Community Protection Act — a private-public partnership law developed by Bellone, victims’ rights advocates like Parents for Megan’s Law and law enforcement agencies. It ensures sex offender registration and compliance and protects residents and their children against sexual violence — much to the dismay of local sex offenders, who have been suing the county to try to put a stop to the act. “We’re encouraging people to sign the online petition,” Bellone said. “We want to get as many signatures as we can to communicate to our partners in the state that this is a priority that we pass legislation that makes it clear Suffolk County has the right to continue doing what it’s doing to protect our community against sex offenders.” While the county executive said Suffolk legislators have been supportive of the law, which was put in place four years ago, he wanted to make sure they’re armed with grassroots support to convince state colleagues they have substantial evidence to prove its popularity

and show it’s the right thing to do. Since it was enacted in 2013, the Community Protection Act has been the nation’s strictest sex offender enforcement, monitoring and verification program, cracking down on all three levels of offenders when it comes to their proximity to a school facility or childfriendly area, and reducing sex offender recidivism in Suffolk County by 81 percent. Ninety-eight percent of Level 2 and more than 94 percent of Level 3 registrants are in compliance with photograph requirements, what Bellone said is a significant increase from before the law took effect. Through its partnership with Parents for Megan’s Law, the county has conducted more than 10,000 in-person home verification visits for all levels of sex offenders, by sending retired law enforcement to verify sex offenders’ work and home addresses and make sure their registry is accurate and up to date. More than 300 sex offenders have also been removed from social media under the law. According to the Suffolk County Police Department, the act is a critical piece of legislation. “The numbers don’t lie, there’s a lot of hard evidence and data that shows this act has done precisely what it was designed to do: monitor sex offenders and make sure they’re not doing anything they’re not supposed to be doing,” Assistant Commissioner Justin Meyers said. “To date, I have never met a single resident in this county who didn’t support [it].” Besides the sex offenders themselves, that is. The act has made Suffolk County one of the more difficult places for registered sex offenders to live and, since its inception, Suffolk sex offenders have deemed its strict level of monitoring unconstitutional, arguing, and overall winning their cases in court that local law is not allowed to be stricter than the state law. In 2015, the state Court of Appeals decided to repeal local residency restriction laws for sex offenders, claiming local governments “could not impose their own rules on where sex offenders live.” In the prospective state legislation, Bellone hopes to close the sex offender loophole that would allow high-level sex offenders to be able to legally move into a home at close proximity to a school. “The program has been incredibly successful, which is why sex offenders don’t like it,”

Bellone said. “This is what we need to do to mation required as part of their sex offender make sure we’re doing everything we can to designation. “If people really knew this issue, I couldn’t protect kids and families in our community.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

Time to focus on more important issues

File photo

A sign held up during the Jan. 21 Women’s March in Port Jeff Station.

Members of Congress must face constituents U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) is engaged in a standoff with residents of the 1st Congressional District, the constituents he was elected to serve and represent in Washington. Zeldin’s support for President Donald Trump (R) and his policies during the campaign and his first few weeks in office has enraged a segment of his district. A Facebook page with more than 2,000 followers was created by people interested in getting face time with the congressman after he changed his office hours and canceled scheduled meetings due to the behavior of what he referred to as “liberal obstructionists” who are acting out and being disruptive as a form of “political theater.” The Jan. 21 Women’s March in Port Jefferson Station featured several signs and chants calling for Zeldin to disassociate from some of Trump’s policies. Although they don’t speak for the entire district — Zeldin’s Election Day margin of victory speaks louder — there is more than enough chatter to suggest they speak for a large chunk of the district that deserves to be heard. To appease those looking to discuss his position on important issues like the Affordable Care Act, Trump’s potential conflicts of interest, ties to Russia and gun regulations, Zeldin held an over-thephone town hall in which almost 10,000 of his constituents were able to listen to their congressman answer a handful of questions from about 0.1 percent of the audience. Dozens of questions went unanswered at the conclusion of the call. Many members of Congress across the U.S. have been faced with a similar dilemma lately — potentially hostile crowds and an uncomfortable or politically dangerous confrontation, or risk being called out for what some interpret as skirting the responsibilities of a representative. The editorial staff believes it is incumbent upon members of Congress to stand up and face the people they represent if an issue or set of issues are important enough to fight for. Disagreements on issues are not a hindrance for a healthy democracy. A lack of transparency and accountability are. No one is asking Zeldin to take the side of protestors marching with signs outside of his Patchogue office, some of which he accused of threatening his safety. It is his responsibility to listen to them and engage in a productive conversation — more productive than the phone conference we listened in on. Kudos to Zeldin for scheduling more mobile office hours in which he promises to meet face to face with small groups, but a large public forum is not too much to ask during these polarizing political times. The virtual world notwithstanding, we want to be in the same room as our duly elected representative during a meeting. While he should be protected by law enforcement from any extremists, he owes us no less than his presence when we offer him ours.

It appears that some people are confused about Kellyanne Conway’s use of the term “alternative facts,” to which she referred during the recent brouhaha over the total attendances at the inaugurations of the present and recent past presidents. In fact, one reader of the Village Times Herald went so far as to uncharitably suggest that Conway might actually think that “2 + 2 = 5” is an acceptable alternative fact to the proposition that “2 + 2 = 4,” when we all know that it is not. Fortunately, we now live in the era of Common Core math, which I have had the good fortune of studying with my grandkids. It seems that the term “equation” has fallen into disfavor, and has been replaced by the term “math fact.” Thus we now know that “2 + 2 = 4” is a math

fact, and “3 + 3 = 6” is another math fact. Or we might say that “3 + 3 = 6” is an alternative math fact or, perhaps, simply an alternate fact. Moving on from Common Core math to the field of science, we may also note that a fact may be true at one time, and then become untrue at a later date. For example, if we consult any astronomy book written between 1930 and 2006, we will find the fact that our solar system has nine planets, and one of them is Pluto. However, in 2006, the International Astronomical Union unilaterally decided that this fact was no longer true, and Pluto was unceremoniously defrocked, thereby proving that any statement may be a fact one day, and not a fact the next. With regard to the inaugura-

tion attendance issue, it may be that one president had more people in physical presence, whereas the other president had more people in virtual presence, i.e., watching on television, using social media and so on. Whatever the case, I think a term more appropriate than “fact” to address this situation might be “factoid,” which is a fact that is trivial or insignificant. Perhaps Conway should describe the attendance enumeration problem as one of “alternative factoids,” which would make everyone happy and allow them to focus on more important issues, such as whether or not President Trump is a better golfer than former President Obama.

George Altemose Setauket

No tolerance for alternative facts We are now almost a month into the Trump administration and the hits keep on coming. Of course I am speaking of the undeniable need for the members of the Three Village right to continue defending their choice to vote a man who gets all of his information from Fox News and whose lies penetrate the very core of the executive branch. It’s not enough that all of his Cabinet choices are highly unqualified and defy the very institutions they have been appointed to run. It’s not enough that his and members of his administration’s ties to Russia are more blatant than his comb over. It’s not enough that stupidity reigns when Trump’s answer to a high court’s decision about his Muslim ban is: “I’ll see you in court.” It’s not nearly enough that his favorite mouthpieces are Breitbart and Andrew Jones, spewing vitriolic rhetoric at

every turn. Nor is it enough that his right-hand woman literally made up a massacre that she really believes happened. There is a stark difference between “unfettered free speech” as some writers choose to harp on, and spouting outright lies to the American people on an hourly basis. Differences are one thing, that is the beauty of America, that these differences are tolerated and celebrated — or were until a certain president took office. There will always be differences of opinion, no matter how great, hence the ability to make informed choices and speak freely about them. Unfortunately, nothing about this current administration gives the slightest inkling towards being informed or the ability to make a decision that will move this country in a positive direction. The left is quite tolerant of differences, however ignorance

is something that will neither be tolerated nor ignored. The left strongly believes in the First Amendment, but not when it means “alternative facts/news” or lies about voter fraud and the horrors of immigrants invading the country they built. Stop trying to defend this man who even had the audacity to lie about his inaugural crowd and the fact that it didn’t rain in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 20 — it did. There is no excuse great enough for what has become of our executive and legislative branches. There is only hope to save the judiciary. My greatest hope is that our allies will stick with us through this debacle and not desert us. Fingers crossed through however long this may last.

Buoyed by Planned Parenthood event On Jan. 30, I was part of the Planned Parenthood Day of Action in Albany in support of the work Planned Parenthood does for women’s health care. Because we were the largest group ever, we met in the large convention room of the state Capitol.

There were meetings with 28 New York elected officials. In a stirring speech by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which brought us to our feet, he promised to do everything he could to keep the doors of Planned Parenthood open. Other speakers, including

Cecile Richards, head of Planned Parenthood, were also inspiring. We were buoyed up by the enthusiasm for Planned Parenthood, now in its 101st year.

OpiniOn Ode to the odometer and a magic landmark

y son and I love the odometer. He probably appreciates it because I talk about it so often and focus on repeating numbers, patterns in the numbers or milestones. We are approaching another landmark as our odometer edges upward from a volleyball practice, to a concert, to a visit with friends in upstate New York, to a trip to Bronx Zoo or a ride to the airport — 100,000 miles. Where will we be when we hit that magic mark? Chances are we’ll be By Daniel Dunaief close to home, perhaps on our way to or from school, to the train station or to a restaurant to celebrate another birthday. Those repeating numbers, the

D. None of the above

99,488 or the 99,699, may bring back horrible memories of childhood, when we had to come up with a formula to describe the nth term in a sequence. The numbers also may be reminders of when we need to change the oil, rotate the tires, check the brakes or give the car the equivalent of a well visit to the doctor. Our country has spent decades shortening the distance between two points by car. Along the way, we eat in them, change the radio station, pull off the road for a nap or park near a favorite place to commune with nature from our moving couch. All that time in the car is what made McDonald’s possible, giving people who travel over great distances the reliability and predictability of the same meal regardless of the state. We throw ourselves and all manner of accoutrements into our cars, including baseball bags, suitcases, or — with my father — holiday presents. Then we pile ourselves into the seats, buckle

ourselves in and hope for an open road along the 3,000 miles from New York to California. We don’t often think about each of the miles, because we’d clog our minds with useless and forgettable information, particularly during those times when a mile becomes a measure of an interminable length of time on a stopped Long Island Expressway. Then there are those miles when we feel as if the road disappeared below us and we are floating home, singing a song that makes the whole family laugh, especially when we share voices that are offkey, or celebrating a triumphant play or an enthralling concert. It’s why road trip movies, even poor ones, are so common. These travel experiences offer a physical journey to match an emotional, spiritual or personal quest, giving us a chance to wake up to an ocean and go to sleep under the shadow of a mountain. Even when we no longer want to contemplate literary devices, we may see symbols in our travels that are hard

to ignore, such as the dawn of a new day, soaring birds taking flight together, a fork in the road or a lightning bolt crashing down in the distance. While the odometer doesn’t take pictures, have Instagram or Facebook accounts, and doesn’t store information in the cloud, it does give us a moment to reflect on where we’ve been and who has shared the ride. When the odometer was still in the double digits, we looked at the backs of our small children’s heads at rear-facing car seats. As the numbers on the car, and our children’s ages and heights increased, we heard their voices drop as they described a movie they watched with friends, a visit with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a project they planned to complete as soon as they returned home. I’m hoping my family is in the car together when the odometer breaks into six figures, because it seems fitting to share that milestone since the four of us journeyed through those miles of life together to get there.

Passwords: Seeing my whole life flash before my eyes

hen there is the matter of passwords. In a life that I am forever trying to simplify, passwords are the detritus on the highway. The need for them trips me up, interrupts my momentum, as I am tooling along. Am I the only one with this frustration? Let me illustrate by repeating some of the inane conversations on the subject. I call my credit card company to get some information. When I am lucky enough to get through to By Leah S. Dunaief a live, warmbodied person, he or she will ask the dreaded question: “What is your password?” “Could you give me a hint?” I ask, since upon the advice of experts, I try not to use the same password more than once.

Between you and me

“It might be the name of your dog,” comes the sympathetic response — if I am lucky. “My first, second, third or fourth dog?” I ask nervously. We then go through the list if the customer service person on the other end has the patience and feels like prompting me. The response might be, “It starts with a ‘T.’” That only helps 50 percent of the way since two of those four dogs had names that began with T. Sometimes, after I’ve run down the possibilities to no avail, the nameless, faceless voice at the other end, in a desperate attempt to move along the conversation, might volunteer, “Maybe it’s your mother’s maiden name?” “The last four digits of your Social Security number?” “Your first child’s birthday?” “The last four digits of your first phone number?” And so it goes, with ultimate success possible but not assured. By this time, several minutes have elapsed, during which I could have transacted the business at hand several times over. I have tried writing down all

my passwords. But then where do I keep the list? And protected by what password? The logical place, to me since it is usually with me, is in my cellphone. “Nooo,” caution the experts. “That is the first place a thief would look.” OK, then, how about in my glove compartment? Being a good suburbanite, I am usually only steps from my car. Again, that is such an obvious place that, like my vehicle registration, such a list should be kept anywhere but there — despite the logical need for one’s registration when in one’s car. But I digress, probably due to the stress of the challenge at hand. Forget about car registrations. Back to the urgent subject of passwords. We are advised never to use the same password twice or, heaven forbid, multiple times, because once our code has been broken, our whole lives and assets lie open to villains. We are also advised to change our passwords often. Oh, please, have mercy! If I can’t remember the original passwords, how can I reasonably be expected to remember

subsequent generations of passwords? They are not like children and grandchildren after all. I am anxious about the future use of passwords. Will I be expected to know a password to shop in the supermarket? To shop online, it’s already come to that. I can’t get on my computer without my password, so no online shopping. How about filling up the tank with gas? We already must provide our ZIP codes, but that may turn out to be too broad a code. How about to visit an emergency room? Oh, but wait. We already have to produce the qualifying information on our identification cards. But if they need to follow up with the insurance company, we had better know our password before the ER can go any further. But not to worry. We can’t get to the ER anyway because we are unable to gas up the car. This leaves me wondering: Do our passwords keep the rest of the world out or, once forgotten, do they lock us in?

Everyone there is so supportive.” The thing is, Astrid actually hasn’t had a bad run. The Under-12 competitor has placed first in every race she’s competed in this season — though she had to miss one because she was sick. “You can’t ski race if you’re not 100 percent,” Sprigman said. “If you come around a turn doing 50 to 55 MPH, if you suddenly get a little bit nauseous that could be dangerous. She wanted to compete, but I just couldn’t let her. Besides the illness though, she’s taken first by a wide margin in every single race.” Sam, a 5-foot, 10-inch, muscular skier placed third in the first competition of the season, at Butternut, came in seventh in Catamount and fifth at Otis Slalom. Last season, he qualified to be a part of the Piche Invitational, a Massachusetts state team, but the team didn’t have a slot this season. Astrid qualified to compete this year. “There’s a wide number of kids that are moving on to higher levels of skiing from his year.” Sprigman said of his son’s Under-14 age bracket. “It’s one of the most competitive age groups in the Northeast. It’s an accomplishment the placements he’s been able to get. I’m very proud of him.” The pair have one race left, at Bosque Mountain in Massachusetts March 5. Sprigman said he enjoys the family aspect of the sport, being able to ski alongside his children, as compared to watching them on the sidelines during a football or soccer game. He said his main goal is to give them an ability they can carry with them for the rest of their lives, and now they’ll just continue to ski as long as they’re having fun. “A lot of people might not let their kids par-

ticipate in a sport like this because it’s fairly high risk, but they have a high degree of confidence and they understand the risk involved, and do a really good job of weighing them out and skiing appropriately,” he said. “When I see them doing what they’re doing and working so incredibly hard at an individual sport like this and I see my son really aggressively attacking a hill and putting it all out there and my daughter bending herself over backward to take an extra half a second off her time, it’s amazing to see them apply themselves in such a focused manner ... It feels really good to see them not only becoming great skiers, but making amazing friendships while engaging in a fairly high level of competition.”
