Skeletal remains were spotted in Setauket on Sunday, prompting a police investigation, officials said. Suffolk County police were seen investigating the human remains soon after they were found, around 4 p.m. on Sunday near a stretch of the hiking and biking Greenway Trail off of Gnarled Hollow Road. The cause of death was unknown, and it was still unclear whether the remains belonged to a male or female, cops said. The medical examiner’s office is still determining the cause of death, police said. The Greenway Trail runs 3.5 miles between Setauket and Port Jefferson Station. It starts at Limroy Lane on the western end and goes to the state department of transportation’s Park and Ride lot near Route 112.

Remains found in Setauket human remains were found along the greenway trail in Setauket.

Missing money has the Poquott Civic Association approaching a boiling point. An ongoing mystery regarding the $23,000 civic members alleged former President Eddie Schmidt mishandled two years ago reached a new milestone Thursday when the 21-year-old fired off a mass email to the civic. In the email, Schmidt outlined his tenure as president, explaining his silence since the accusations arose late last year and how they have affected him. “The silence was a courtesy as I thought the present Board was genuinely working towards a mutual agreement between us to benefit the community. Unfortunately, the board was not genuine in its dealings, and has acted contrary to resolution,” Schmidt said in the letter. “I am writing

as president despite a hefty workload while attending college at 19 years old. He said accusations, which he referred to as rumors, deeply hurt him. “I did my best to work towards common ground while rumors became widespread, and incorrect information

and damaging assumptions were presented.” Schmidt, who resigned as president of the Poquott Civic Association in September, was accused of stealing more than $23,000 from the organization during his time POQUOTT continued on page A9

Domestic violence reform passes county Legislature By Phil Corso

The Suffolk County Legislature stood united Tuesday as it approved a new Suffolk County bill that will change the way police and advocacy agencies approach domestic violence by taking a new look at different risk factors. The bill, which County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said he intends to sign into law, emphasizes a three-pronged approach: directing county police to assign grades of recidivism risk to offenders, providing domestic violence victims with self-assessment opportunities, and linking them up with advocates to deliver more resources. County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), who introduced the bill, plugged the measure alongside Bellone, Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) and other Suffolk leaders just hours before the Legislature voted Tuesday evening with 16 legislators in favor and one absent at the time of the vote. “One out of four women in the United States will experience some type of domestic violence during her lifetime, and every year more than 1,500 of these women will be killed by their abusers,” Hahn said. “Key to addressing this issue is to realize that over half of domestic violence victims who are murdered or are the victim of an attempted murder by an abuser did not accurately perceive his or her risk.”

A total of 38 domestic violence-related homicides have been reported in Suffolk County between 2009 and 2013, according to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services. The legislation plays off of a Portland, Ore., police initiative that assesses risk for intimate partner violence — an initiative that Suffolk police used on a limited basis to high praise. The 20-question assessment, lawmakers argued, helps victims see how much danger they are in while also linking them up with advocacy groups near them. As far as the offenders go, Bellone and Sgt. Kelly Lynch, commanding officer for the Suffolk County Police Department’s Domestic Violence Bureau, said cops will use a new danger assessment tool to identify at-risk victims and assign a level of risk to previous offenders on a scale of one to 13, with the highest number meaning they are most likely to repeat an offense. “This computer program automatically collects and analyzes data from internal police records and produces a score that will identify offenders who are most likely to ‘recidivate’ in domestic violence offenses,” Lynch said. “Domestic violence officers will use this tool to contact the victims and families who are associated with these high-risk offenders.” Bellone called the legislation both a personal and professional endeavor for

Hahn and described domestic violence as one of the most important issues facing the county. He plugged the various agencies in attendance at Tuesday’s press conference and said their services were an essential tool in the fight to empower domestic violence victims. “As the police are some of the first people to come into contact with victims of domestic violence, it is important that they have access to proven assessment tools and the most effective resources to best serve and protect victims,” he said. “This legislation will do just that.”

Laura Ahern, executive director of the Crime Victims Center at Parents for Megan’s Law, said the 20-question self-assessment will help better identify certain risk factors, making violence more predictable and preventable. She said it was important that lawmakers pay close attention to victims of such crimes and help empower them to prevent future incidents. “This is an enormous step,” she said. “All three components of this bill empower domestic violence victims. The police department will then use objective means to assess, identify and help these victims.”

Raia said while $80,000 seems like a lot of money, given cost of living, it is not as much for a family of four living on Long Island when compared to the same family of four living upstate. He said the cost of living is higher here and the increase in a maximum award is greatly needed. Lupinacci, who currently teaches at Farmingdale State College, said it is important to have this increase in an effort to lessen the financial burden on students. He said it would help cover significant portions of tuitions at State University of New York and City University of New York schools, and whatever it could for private schools’ tuitions. Currently, the bill that was introduced on March 5 is being referred to the Assembly’s Higher Education committee, where Lupinacci is a ranking member. If this bill is approved, Lupinacci hopes the increase kicks in beginning April 1, 2016. The most recent TAP increase was just $165 back in 2014.

State lawmakers fight for safer child products By BarBara Donlon

A new bill protecting children from toxic chemicals is making its way through the state Assembly as elected officials work to keep chemicals out of children’s products. The bill — commonly known as the Child Safe Products Act — would empower New York State to identify and phase out dangerous chemicals in products marketed to kids, lawmakers said. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) helped craft the legislation and has been pushing it forward with hopes of keeping young people safe from what they cannot see. If the legislation is passed, the state would compile a list of high-concern chemicals made up of those known to cause health problems such as cancer, learning and developmental disorders, asthma and more, officials said. Then, a list of priority chemicals used in children’s products will be drafted for disclosure, lawmakers said. “This bill addresses issues of poisonous products for children,” Englebright said. “It’s very important to protect the children. And that’s what I intend to do.” The makers of children’s products would also be required to report their use of priority chemicals in their merchandise after a year, and phase out their use of such chemicals three years later. Suffolk County Legislator William

“Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) said legislation like this is important because there is always a need to prevent innocent children from being exposed to such harmful chemicals like arsenic, mercury, cadmium, formaldehyde and more. “Kids are more vulnerable and more likely to put things in their mouth,” Spencer said. “Almost any toy could potentially have toxic chemicals.” Spencer also said toxic chemicals are found in many children’s products such as clothes, dolls, toys and more. He said they can be in found things such as paint on a button or a bracelet a child wears. According to Englebright, there are some 84,000 chemicals on the market today. The federal law that was supposed to protect against them — the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 — “is a very weak law and has never been updated,” the lawmaker said. The assemblyman also said he feels a bill like this is important for everyone in the state as it sets the standards manufacturers would be held to. “We all benefit when children are protected from poorly regulated toxic chemicals that have the potential to harm development, cause illness and impair learning,” Englebright said. “I think it’s very important to get this bill to the governor’s desk.” Spencer also said while he does support the bill, there should be guidelines and pa-

rameters set as there is the ability to detect parts per million, billion and even trillion. He said it is unnecessary to be overly restrictive as something at a certain parts per billion or trillion, may not be harmful. Late last year, a press conference was held in Hauppauge to show parents the toxins present in certain items geared toward kids. While many of the toys at the conference had toxic chemicals in them, such a Hot Wheels cars or dresses bought in Long Is-

land stores, there are toys on the market that are manufactured without them. “A lot of times the effects of these toxic substances aren’t seen right away. But the impact lasts for a lifetime,” Spencer said at the December conference. When asked why certain toys have chemicals and others don’t, Spencer said some manufacturers may be unaware of the chemicals present and others could possibly use the chemicals to maximize profit.

Brookhaven piles on funding for marina repairs Icy waters damage pilings and docks at marinas By Erika karp

The town’s frozen harbors and waterways may have been a dazzling site for Brookhaven residents, but the iced-over waters are proving costly. Brookhaven officials amended the 2015 capital budget this month to add a new project for replacing docks and pilings at the town’s 15 marinas. For the first time in many years, bodies of water like the Great South Bay and Mount Sinai Harbor froze over for extended periods of time and caused the pilings — the wooden posts that support and line the docks — to become lifted out of place. North Shore ports, including those in areas like Mount Sinai, Port Jefferson and Stony Brook, experienced some damage, according to Brookhaven Parks Commissioner Ed Morris, but for the most part were spared. “The extent of it on the North Shore was minimal,” Morris said in a Monday phone interview, adding that the same couldn’t be said for the South Shore. Marinas and docks at Sandspit, Forge River and Fire Island’s Davis Park were hit hard — more than 200 pilings need to be reset and/or replaced at Davis Park alone, Morris said.

While the capital budget amendment allocated $700,000 for the repairs, Morris said the North Shore projects will cost about $64,000 and the South Shore projects will amount to $260,000. Leftover funds could be used for other related work throughout the year. A few days before the amendment’s approval, Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said the damage could pose a delay in opening the marinas by as much as two weeks. Morris remained hopeful that while there could be some delays, the majority of marinas would be open the first weekend of May, as per usual. “I would hope the boaters would be a little patient,” he said. In separate interviews, Morris and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) agreed that the impact of frozen waterways was much greater this winter. Bonner said the town budgets for piling and dock repairs and replacements every year but, as Morris pointed out, the frozen waters persisted for an extended period of time — something he had never seen before during his 17 years working for Brookhaven. Bonner said she couldn’t recall the last time Mount Sinai Harbor froze over but said a lot of oldtimers remember it.

According to Morris, Chesterfield Associates Inc., of Westhampton Beach, will cover the North Shore projects, while Stout Construction Inc., of Pa-

tchogue, will lead the South Shore jobs. The contractors have 30 days from the start date, which should commence soon, to complete the repairs.

on the previous draft of the plan, whose stated long-term goal was “to eliminate free-ranging mute swans from New York State by 2025.” Many took issue with the DEC’s plans to euthanize the adult birds and questioned the validity of the department’s research on mute swans’ impact on the environment. In addition, state legislators approved a two-year moratorium on any plan to euthanize the swans and required the DEC to “give priority to nonlethal management techniques.” The first draft of the plan also called for using some swans for zoological purposes and transferring others to people licensed to hold them in captivity. According to the DEC, mute swans, which have orange beaks and make less noise than other types of swans, can contribute to high fecal coliform bacteria counts on bodies of water used for drinking or swimming. They can also attack humans, which can make them “a serious nuisance and render some land or water areas inaccessible for outdoor recreation during the nesting season.” There are about 2,200 free-ranging mute swans in New York, the DEC has estimated, and they can be found on Long Island, in New York City and in the lower Hudson Valley and Lake Ontario regions. The population has jumped from where it was in the 1970s, when mute swans numbered fewer than 700. New York has other species of swan, but mute swans are considered invasive

and non-native — they were brought here in the late 1800s and used for ornamental purposes — and thus were targeted for management. The DEC’s goal, as stated in the plan’s most recent draft, is to reduce the mute swan population to its 1980 numbers: fewer than 800 birds. The DEC has been operating under the same species management plan since 1993, and the new mute swan plan would replace the older one. In preparation for the plan, the DEC conducted research between 2004 and 2008 “to document abundance, survival, reproduction, movements, ecological impacts and management of mute swans in New York.” Following public backlash of the first draft, the department this month released its new draft of the management plan, which focuses on alternatives to euthanization, and a document responding to public comments it received. “Because many people object to the use of lethal control methods, especially killing adult birds, DEC will use ‘nonlethal’ methods … where practical and timely, to achieve the management objectives,” the new plan stated. Those methods could include terminating embryos in the swans’ eggs or placing the birds in licensed facilities. “However, this will require some commitment of funding and assistance from organizations and individuals who wish to see nonlethal options used to the extent possible. Placement and proper care of swans in public parks or other

controlled settings can be costly to local governments or communities.” Despite the emphasis on nonlethal methods, the DEC said in its response to public comments, officials would still resort to lethal methods “wherever immediate removal of birds is necessary to alleviate a site-specific conflict … and live-capture is not practical or no facility is readily available to accept the birds.” The new DEC plan’s agenda for minimizing the impacts of mute swans on other wildlife and habitats includes increasing public support and awareness; preventing new swans from entering wild populations “through intentional releases, escapes or natural reproduction”; and controlling the number of mute swans on downstate tidal waters. Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), one of the legislators who worked to place a moratorium on the swan euthanization, said in a statement last week that the DEC “has heard our concerns and has begun to move in the right direction.” But the new plan still allows for swans to be eliminated under certain circumstances, and he cautioned that the birds “should only be destroyed as the absolute last resort, and only when they are posing public danger.” The public can comment on the plan until April 24. Comments can be submitted to FW.wildlf@dec.ny.gov or to NYSDEC Bureau of Wildlife, Swan Management Plan, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754.

DEC plans mute swan population control

the state will focus on ways to manage mute swans without killing adults. By Elana Glowatz

Following public outcry against a plan to eliminate wild mute swan populations over the next decade, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has released a new draft of its plan that focuses on “nonlethal” methods to control the birds. Thousands of people, including environmentalists and animal rights advocates, had sent in comments last year

Former Poquott civic President Eddie Schmidt goes over civic matters over the summer. File photo by Barbara Donlon

Poquott Civic Association President Carol Pesek says her group is still pursuing $23,000 they allege former President Eddie Schmidt mishandled when he was at the helm.

at the helm. Civic leaders allege that while president, the 21-year-old used money raised at civic events to purchase things unrelated to civic expenses, like gasoline, Vineyard Vines clothing and dining at gourmet restaurants. Members of the civic spoke up on the matter at Thursday’s monthly meeting for the first time in months as legal matters were ongoing. Civic President Carol Pesek brought new details on a potential settlement between her group and Schmidt as the parties try to reconcile the thousands of dollars that allegedly went missing. “The letter opened the door for the civic board to bring more information to the community,” Pesek said in an interview the day after the meeting. The board read a response back to the letter and then finally spoke about what members have been enduring the last few months. Peter Lavrenchik, a legal advisor who spoke on Schmidt’s behalf, said the former president and the board were exploring a potential settlement. Pesek said the settlement offer was for $15,000 — $5,000 less than the money originally demanded late last year — and also included a controversial confidentiality clause that would forbid the board from speaking of the matter. There was also a nondisclosure clause that would forbid it from letting the community know where the money came from, and an agreement that Schmidt would not be prosecuted, the civic board said. “It was an offer, but we couldn’t get past the confidentiality agreement,” Treasurer Felicia Chillak said. Calling on legal advice, members of the board said they would not sign onto any settlement agreements for the time being. The response elicited a rousing response from members of the Poquott community.

“We never presented [the offer to the public] because in the beginning, we couldn’t get the confidentiality clause off the table,” Pesek said. ”If we could have gotten rid of the confidentiality clause, we would have brought it to the table.” Pesek said the board repeatedly told Lavrenchik that it would not sign a confidentiality clause, and he said there would be no offer without it. Calls to Schmidt and Lavrenchik were not returned. Both parties were invited to the civic’s meeting, Pesek said, but did not attend. Any future offers or potential settlements would be brought before the civic, Pesek said. As community members went back and fourth discussing the $15,000 settlement Thursday night, Schmidt’s mom, Beth Schmidt, spoke emotionally in defense of her son, whom she said was waiting outside in her car. The legal trouble has weighed heavily on her son, who has been losing weight as a result of the emotional stress, the mother said. “My kid did not steal $20,000 or $23,000,” his mother shouted at the meeting last week. “You practically destroyed him. I’m watching my kid suffer. He is a nice kid and feels terrible.” Also in attendance at the meeting was Schmidt’s girlfriend, Kaitlin Sisti, who came to Schmidt’s defense and said there was no way he could have stolen the money, as it was all used for community events. As the meeting drew closer to its conclusion, some members of the civic argued that regardless of which party was at fault, it was in the community’s best interests to move beyond this legal trouble. “It’s tearing the village to pieces,” resident Harry Berry said after last week’s contentious meeting. “In 34 years, I have never seen anything split the village like this.”

PEOPLE Jameson Joseph Balsan Brian and Monica Balsan of East Setauket are happy to announce the birth of their second son Jameson Joseph Balsan, born July 8, 2014, at 9 lbs, 1 ounce, 21 inches. Big brother Jackson is super excited to have a little brother to play with. Congratulations!

An Irish-inspired math treat

Connecting studies in math, English language arts and the school’s character education program, third-grade students in Kathryn Comiskey’s and Maureen MacDowell’s classes at Nassakeag Elementary School made more than 30 loaves of Irish soda bread for the St. James Food Pantry just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Working in teams, the students measured, poured and mixed batter using traditional measuring tools. They were then challenged with making equivalent measurements when one of the tools the recipe called for was removed. They worked together to problem solve and deploy their classroom lessons to complete the recipe.

New york islanders score big with kids

Photo from the three Village Central School District

Nassakeag Elementary School students used their math skills to make loaves of Irish soda bread for the St. James Food Pantry.

There might have been some sad faces after a loss against the New York Rangers — the final faceoff at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum for both New York-based National Hockey League teams — but the New York Islanders scored big smiles with patients at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital when three players visited the hospital recently. Leaving their skates and sticks at the rink, forward Eric Boulton, No. 36; defenseman Matt Donovan, No. 46; and defenseman Brian Strait, No. 37 delivered T-shirts, beach towels and hats to more than 40 patients and their families. The threesome walked through the entire in-patient pediatric unit and the outpatient pediatric hematology/oncology clinic at Stony Brook University Cancer Center. They spent time with the kids, signed autographs, posed for pictures and answered a ton of questions from their smallest fans.

Obituary Joseph Dionisi

Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Joseph Louis Dionisi, 93, of Mountain Home, Ark., died on Feb. 28. His life was filled with love — for God, music,

teaching, his country, his church and his growing family, whom he inspired through strength, integrity and Christian conviction. Joe was born on Dec. 23, 1921, in Great Neck, to Andrew and Maria Dionisi. He joined the U.S. Air Force during World War II and served in communications, guiding military airplanes across the Atlantic Ocean. After leaving active duty, he continued to serve in the U.S. Air Force Reserves for many years before retiring as a lieutenant colonel. After the war, Joe married Dorothy “Jane” Williamson

and graduated from New York University with both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, and began a long career in music education. Joe and Jane lived in Stony Brook, where they raised four children and were devoted members of Stony Brook Community Church. He taught in the Port Jefferson school district for 30 years as director of music, band director and coordinator of musical festivals. In 1978, Joe and Jane retired to Hendersonville, N.C., where he was active at Etowah United Methodist Church as lay speaker, editor of the local and

district newsletters, president of the men’s group and director of a brass ensemble and chorale. They moved to Midway, Ark., 12 years ago and joined First United Methodist Church in Mountain Home, where he continued his love of learning through Bible studies. Joe was preceded in death by Jane, his wife of 60 years, and his brother, Charles. He is survived by two sons, Joseph (Debbie) and Michael (Devon); two daughters, Donna Smith and Patti (Bob) Budolfson; 10 grandchildren, Leah, Meg, Kerri, Brendan, Matthew, Manny, Christian,

According to Burger, the team’s leaders are Garr, junior first baseman Natalie Rodgers and junior pitcher Lauren Vivenzio, who will also be counted on to anchor a young pitching staff. Burger said that if his team plays strong defense and doesn’t hurt itself with errors, the Patriots can expect to win every time they take the field. Rodgers agreed, adding that she sees every girl giving each practice 100 percent.

“I think we have a lot of potential,” she said, although concerned about the lack of outdoor practice. “The ball’s slower on the dirt, but in here [on the gym floor] it really rolls, so it’s faster and it’s hard on the outfielders. You really can’t practice catching fly balls because of the ceiling.” The young squad will be tested in its opener on Friday when the Patriots host Commack at St. Joseph’s College, 7:45 p.m.

OPINION EDITORIAL

College degrees cost a pretty penny.

A needed increase

College is expensive. Actually, college is ludicrously expensive these days, as 60 percent of graduates from colleges and universities in New York are coming out of school with a debt of more than $26,000, according to the Project on Student Debt, an initiative of the nonprofit Institute for College Access & Success. With these numbers in mind, we support Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci’s (R-Huntington Station) push for increasing the maximum amount of financial aid awarded through the New York State Tuition Assistance Program. While college costs have increased drastically over the last 10 years, there has been no substantial increase in the maximum TAP award a student can receive. Individuals can currently cash in a minimum grant of $500 and a maximum of $5,165 each year. Lupinacci said he wants to raise the maximum to $6,470, while also increasing the maximum eligible household income from $80,000 to $100,000. We wholeheartedly support this measure, as the increases would better align with SUNY and CUNY tuition rates for in-state residents and the high cost of living in New York. For the 2014-15 school year, a typical undergraduate student studying at a SUNY college will pay a little more than $7,500 for tuition and student fees. Add room and board, and that cost becomes about $19,600. Raising the maximum TAP award would provide many students — who may be supporting themselves and working full-time — an easier pathway to obtaining their degrees. This program could be especially crucial to students who are on their own and may not have someone to co-sign a loan. We often use the phrase “every penny counts,” and in this case it couldn’t be truer. The purpose of public education is to increase access to an important service. Increasing TAP will help further that goal.

Safety at Stony Brook University remains a topic of discussion in the Three Village community.

Societal norms TO THE EDITOR: In response to the letter, “Stony Brook Safety,” dated March 19, 2015, you are so off target. The police gave excellent advice to avoid two of the methods rapists utilize to attack the unwary female. But to your suggestion — teaching not to rape — I never realized it was “that simple.” This is like asking drivers to

Public education is important

TO THE EDITOR: The following letter was sent to Jeffrey Carlson, Three Village assistant superintendent for business services: We recently received our Property Tax Freeze Credit from the state Department of Taxation and Finance, and we would like to donate our credit to the district. We strongly believe that the property tax cap is damaging to our schools. We have witnessed firsthand

obey the traffic laws. Does anyone drive the speed limit on our parkways? Very, very few. Rape seems to be “built” into certain males. It happened in 1942 when women clothes were extremely modest. Mind you, I am 84 years old. But now you tell me what is going on. I see pictures of women wearing two “tiny” dots on top and a tiny “V” on bottom. Exactly what do they think they are hiding?

Aren’t you all “built” the same? It may not tempt some males, but it will encourage others — your rapist in particular. It is called encouragement or reinforcement of a personal weakness, especially for those with faulty male egos. The Doctor is in.

the district change remarkably over the past few years with the elimination of electives, increased class sizes, and other detrimental changes necessitated by lack of funding — all as a result of this politically motivated law. The idea that the tax cap is a good thing for our district, and that this credit is a reward for staying within in it, is insulting. We have always been delighted to work and live within the Three Village School District. We want our daughters, and future students, to continue to have the benefit of the exceptional experiences the district offers. We

support public education for all students and want to see funding come back to our schools so we can continue to deliver quality education through quality programming — this is much more important than having a few extra dollars in our own pockets. Please accept our small donation as a symbol of our thanks, and our hope that the tide will soon turn and sanity will be restored to education policy in New York State.

Stony Brook trauma team on standby

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

unshots rang out in the night on March 11 in Huntington Station. The bullets from the gun of someone fleeing a traffic stop struck Suffolk Police Officer Mark Collins in the neck and hip, triggering an immediate reaction in a team of medical and emergency personnel with one goal: Do whatever can be done to keep Collins alive. Seeing the injuries to Collins’

neck, the medics at the scene directed the injured officer to the Stony Brook Trauma Center, where the Code T Team — the highest level activated — was called in. Several medical professionals prepared for his arrival, including a board-certified general surgeon and an anesthesiologist, in case the officer needed emergency surgery. The center also held open an operating room and a CT scanner and had several other medical professionals, including a radiology technician, at the ready. “We bring all the necessary resources to handle any array of injuries,” said Dr. James Vosswinkel, chief of Division of Trauma, Emergency Surgery and Surgical Critical Care at Stony Brook Medicine. A gunshot wound to the neck “doesn’t sound good,” said Vosswinkel, who was home in East Setauket before the incident. When Collins came in, “we mobilized all the appropriate services.” The prospect of such a serious injury raised concerns for their

incoming patient. Any time there is a Code T alert, “your blood pressure goes up a little bit,” Vosswinkel said. Still, he and the other members of the medical crew were prepared to follow a system that uses a “standard algorithmic approach” for injured patients, “where we have people come in and everybody knows their role.” The medical staff relies on a set of instructions that involve multiple people whose responsibilities range from stabilizing the patient to identifying injuries. How does a surgeon who might be required to spend hours with a patient at any given time — and often late in the night, as was the case with this officer — prepare for the moment when he might ask his or her body and mind to focus on something unexpected? Vosswinkel’s response, like those of the police who deal with emergency situations in our communities, was simple: training. Four years of medical school, five years of general surgery and then

a few years of additional trauma training helped him prepare emotionally and physically. The doctors also “try to keep ourselves in good shape with a healthy lifestyle and the necessary rest,” which gives them emotional and physical control. “You’re prepared when you’re on call,” he said. “The first priority” in an emergency is to “get a good enough team and good enough number of people together so you can handle the rigors that may be required.” Vosswinkel said he does what many people who confront a high-stress situation do: He takes a slow deep breath, moves a step back and does whatever he can to remain focused and logical. “Practicing in a hospital like this allows you to keep focus and keep your emotions in control,” he said. The bullet in Collins’ neck was an inch away from a much more precarious outcome. The surgical team put him in a medicallyinduced coma. Standing behind

Any time there is a Code T alert, ’your blood pressure goes up a little bit.’

Collins in a wheelchair as other officers saluted their wounded colleague, Vosswinkel brought Collins out of the hospital. Vosswinkel said he and the staff were inspired by Collins’ dedication as a police officer and his contribution to the community. “How could you not be inspired by someone like him?” Vosswinkel asked. “These guys are out there making it safe so something bad doesn’t happen to us.” And, when something bad happens to them, the trauma unit stands ready.

Ready to go with a joyous LIFESTYLE

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

everal joyous events are coming together for us at Times Beacon Record Newspapers. One is the 39th anniversary of the founding of our media group, which began with the first issue of The Village Times on April 8, 1976. While we had little doubt that we would be successful, such being the perception of total ignorance, we look back at the intervening years with astonishment and humility. We are astonished by all that has transpired in the communications in-

dustry during that time, from the advent of typesetting and desktop computers to the soon-to-be released Dick Tracy watch from Apple. And we are deeply grateful for our endurance, the result of a selfless and totally committed staff and a trusting and supportive readership and advertising base. We are incredibly appreciative that we have with us staff who have been with the company for so many of those years, and subscribers and advertisers who still think we are worth the cost. And we highly value those who have joined us most recently, for they keep us on the cutting edge. In creating The Village Times, in effect we created a microscopic world within our office in which talented staffers worked as a team to publish a hometown newspaper each week. Everyone learned to fill almost every position because we never knew who would be called away without finishing the allotted work. Why would that happen? Because we were mainly a group of mothers with young children, and I can say in all truthfulness that we invented

the concept of job sharing. As a result of so much teamwork, we tightly bonded then, even as we have continued the tradition of helping each other every day. Those bonds are much in evidence whenever former staffers, now highly successful perhaps in larger communications corporations, stop by to say “hello” and catch up on the latest. For we know of each others’ families, challenges and successes over the years and we delight in staying in touch. As we built and grew newspapers, we also worked diligently to build and grow community. That is, after all, the consequence of a community newspaper that exists to share the problems and triumphs of the latest news, The net effect is to encourage bonding among residents for the common good and for pride of place. Where there is a strong sense of community, everyone benefits, from school districts and local governments to commercial, cultural and athletic efforts. This weekend, we will celebrate the 39th annual party

honoring the men and woman of the year as selected in our last issue of this past year. By appreciating their work in going the extra mile and enhancing our lives with their accomplishments, we are also strengthening our pride in community and encouraging communications among all segments of our hometown. When we get all those leaders into one room at one time socializing together, we like to think we are cross-pollinating for future cooperation and success. We will run some photos from the event in next week’s papers so that everyone can feel pleased with where and among whom we live. Besides all that fun stuff, we are bringing out our latest publication, a beautiful magazine: LIFESTYLE. It will be inserted in all our newspapers each month, and we hope it will offer a breath of fresh air alongside some of our more somber news articles.

And finally, I will share with you our excitement over our revamped and upgraded website. With our new platform, we will be able to bring more news, more photos, more features, more voices and more interactivity to our communities. The official rollout is next week but, like the news itself, it will be an ongoing work in progress. We create these new products and events to further your pleasure and the value you feel in our media company. But we cannot succeed in any of these efforts without your support and input. We will be delighted, as always, to hear from you. Happy Spring!
