Updated monuments unveiled during ceremonies in Setauket, Stony Brook BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Both the East Setauket and Stony Brook Village Memorial Day parades May 27 featured something special this year. At the end of the Stony Brook parade at Veterans Memorial Park and before the start of the East Setauket parade at Village Green, at the traditional memorial ceremonies, updated monuments were revealed with plaques to recognize the sacrifices made by the latest generations of American service members who served in the Cold War, Gulf wars and War on Terror. The Stony Brook plaque was funded by the Ward Melville Heritage Organization and Stony Brook University. In 2018, Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) along with American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts located in Setauket, Stony Brook and Port Jefferson Station and the Long Island State Veterans Home at Stony Brook University announced a two-phased effort to expand both memorials as well as the monuments at the East Setauket Veterans Memorial Park and along the Port Jefferson Harbor. The Stony Brook and Setauket Village Green memorial stones were part of Phase I of the project. While the Village Green monument was ready in time for the ceremonies, a replica was installed at the Stony Brook site, according to Hahn, who said the completed plaque will arrive soon. Phase II of the project will include renovating the East Setauket Veterans Memorial Park and

the Port Jefferson Harbor sites. This phase is expected to be completed in time for Veterans Day, according to Hahn. To prepare for the Memorial Day ceremony in Stony Brook, StoneGate Landscape Construction, owned by Chris Graf, cut back trees, cleaned out the underbrush, sprayed poison ivy, brought in two additional rocks to the site and planted trees. The services were provided by the company free of charge. The Stony Brook parade and ceremony was sponsored by VFW East Setauket Post 3054 and American Legion Irving Hart Post 1766. The East Setauket parade was also organized by VFW Post 3054. (For more photos from the East Setauket parade see page 11.)

Family members take part in medical school’s convocation ceremony

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The medical arm of Stony Brook University held its 45th convocation ceremony May 23 at the Staller Center. The event was the first time medical degrees were presented under the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University moniker. Of the 129 receiving medical degrees, 53 of the graduates were hooded by a family member who has a doctoral degree. At a hooding ceremony, each degree candidate is named and receives a hood. The family members on hand for the SBU hooding included 36 parents, 11 siblings and three spouses, according to a press release from the university. Others were hooded by a faculty mentor. Graduates, who range in age between 25 and 45, will begin their training this summer at medical facilities in New York state and around the country. Dr. Kenneth Kaushansky, School of Medicine dean, introduced the graduates, and New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker delivered the convocation address. Kaushansky talked about the obstacles that face the medical profession, including budget deficits that hamstring state hospitals, Medicare and Medicaid cutbacks and malpractice insurance premiums going up. He also reminded the graduates that they now take on the responsibility of life-long learning as advances

are continually made in the medical field. “As physicians you will be frequently in the position to affect life-altering decisions,” he said. Zucker reminded the graduates that one day they will be in a position to save a person’s life. “Be daring and help your patients should others turn a blind eye,” he said. “And remember that the stethoscope allows our ears to listen to the patient’s heart sounds, but it’s our heart that hears their words and their life stories.” The convocation speaker also said as doctors manage the challenges such as exhaustion, missed family gatherings and losing patients, they will experience tears of their own. “You will find yourself as we all have in a room where the tears are your own because a child never had a chance to look with awe at the giraffes at the zoo,” he said, adding that in those times doctors must remind themselves that they did all they could, but it wasn’t meant to be. “Let those experiences become lessons about being human and ask questions of your mentors and colleagues,” he said. “Foolish is the one who fails to wonder why.” Pictured from upper left, Lirissa Pamen is hooded by her sister, Lizzie Atomi Pamen; Camilla Dagum, hooded by her parents, Dr. Isabelle von Althen and Dr. Alexander Dagum; the graduates recite the Hippocratic Oath for the first time as medical doctors; and Zucker delivers the convocation address. — Photos from Stony Brook University

SBU’s Stanley named new Michigan State University president BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Less than a week after Stony Brook University’s commencement ceremony, the school’s president will also be moving on. On May 28, the Michigan State University Board of Trustees announced that SBU President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr. will take on the role of president at MSU at a special meeting. Trustees chair Dianne Byrum said the goal was “to identify the best person possible to lead Michigan Student University.” Melanie Foster, co-chair of MSU’s 18-member search committee, commented on the announcement at the May 28 meeting. “Today represents a pivotal moment in MSU’s 164-year history as we begin what I am confident will be an engaged and exciting future under the leadership of Dr. Samuel L. Stanley Jr.” she said. Stanley was in East Lansing for the announcement along with his wife and three of his four children. “MSU is one of the world’s leading research universities, and I am grateful to the Board of Trustees and the Presidential Search Committee that so ably represented the entire

MSU community for giving me the opportunity to serve this great institution,” Stanley said in a statement on the school’s website. “MSU’s core strength is its amazing students, superb faculty, dedicated staff and proud alumni, and I cannot wait to get to campus to meet with you and learn from you.” Previous MSU president Lou Anna Simon

resigned from the position in January 2018 after being criticized for how she handled allegations that the university’s doctor Larry Nassar molested female gymnasts and athletes. Since the resignation, the school has been led by interim presidents. In his statement, Stanley commented on the scandal.

“I know the Spartan community has been profoundly troubled by the events of the past years that have shaken confidence in the institution,” he said. “We will meet these challenges together, and we will build on the important work that has already been done to create a campus culture of diversity, inclusion, equity, accountability and safety that supports all of our endeavors.” State University of New York Chancellor Kristina Johnson will work with the SUNY board of trustees to appoint an interim president, according to a press release from SUNY. A campus search committee also will be assembled to conduct a national search for a permanent president. “Under Dr. Stanley’s leadership, Stony Brook University has become a vibrant center of research and one of the most highly regarded universities in the nation,” Johnson said. “His commitment to advancing technologies and research in environmental protection and renewable energy has been among many of Dr. Stanley’s most notable accomplishments. On behalf of the entire SUNY family, we celebrate his achievements.” Stanley will be Michigan State University’s 21st president and will begin his term at MSU Aug. 1.

Former Three Village newspaper owner remembered BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM This summer a private gathering in New York City will be held to remember a former local newspaper owner. Gardner “Pat” Cowles III died Jan. 25 in Naples, Florida, at the age of 82. A throat cancer survivor, Cowles was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer six weeks before his death. Cowles owned The Three Village Herald for decades before he sold it to Robert Hendriks. The latter owned it for a short time before selling it in 2001 to The Village Times owner and publisher Leah Dunaief. The merger of the publications created The Village Times Herald as it is known today. The Three Village Herald office was once attached to the Carriage Museum on Route 25A in Stony Brook, and Cowles also ran a printing business from the office. Gloria Rocchio, president of the Ward Melville Heritage Organization, remembered Cowles and said he contributed to the restoration at the Brewster House in East Setauket. “The one thing I remember about Pat Cowles is he was rarely sitting behind a

desk,” she said. “You would find him in the press room tinkering with the typesetting or printing press. The years he spent in Stony Brook are still evident in the business community and the historic properties he helped support.” Cowles was also the former owner of The Sag Harbor Express. Bryan Boyhan, publisher emeritus of the Express, said that Cowles bought the East End paper in 1988. At that point, it had been owned by only two families since it was founded in 1859. When Cowles purchased the business, the owner, Victoria Gardner, was bedridden. Boyhan said she would lay out the paper on a lap board with a can of rubber cement and scissors. At the time, the paper’s staff was small, and content was sparse. Boyhan said Gardner believed that Sag Harbor should have a paper or its own. “She was determined until she found somebody that she felt comfortable turning the paper over and that was Pat Cowles,” he said. “They met a number of times and negotiated the purchase, and she thought the world of him.” Cowles turned the paper around, and

it went on to win numerous awards from the New York Press Association. In 2000 Boyhan became publisher and part owner when he said Cowles “wanted to step back a bit from his role at the paper.” In 2012,

Boyhan became full owner. Despite moving to Florida, Cowles would come to The Sag Harbor Express office every day when he was in town. “He enjoyed being around people in the business,” Boyhan said. Born in Des Moines, Iowa, March 6, 1936, Cowles was born into a publishing family. His father, Gardner “Mike” Cowles II was a newspaper publisher and the founder and publisher of Look magazine. When his family business Cowles Communication created the Suffolk Sun, a six-day-a-week daily, on Long Island in the mid-1960s, Cowles was made publisher. During his career, Cowles also owned the Riverhead News-Review and the Shelter Island Reporter. He was a trustee of The Cowles Charitable Trust, which was established by his father to promote education, social justice, health and the arts. Among the organizations he contributed to was Fighting Chance, a free cancer counseling center on the East End of Long Island. Cowles is survived by his wife, Elizabeth; step-daughter, Bonnie Hoye; sisters Katie Nichols and Virgina Cowles and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

SCPD arrests Centereach man after narcotics investigation

Suffolk County police arrested a Centereach man May 22 following a narcotics investigation. Police said the man was trying to sell drugs at a playground with his daughter beside him. During the course of the investigation, detectives apprehended Chaleek Williams for possession and intent to sell crack cocaine on the playground at the Oxhead Road Elementary School, located at 144 Oxhead Road, allegedly with his 2-year-old daughter present. Williams was also allegedly in possession of a quantity of the ecstasy drug. As he was being placed under

arrest, police said Williams became combative and had to be restrained by officers. Williams, 25, of Centereach, was charged with multiple counts of possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell, as well as endangering the welfare of a child and resisting arrest. Williams was held overnight at the 3rd Precinct and is scheduled to be arraigned at 1st District Court in Central Islip May 23. The child was released into the custody of family.

Patriots third quarter surge snares Tigers, 11-8

BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Northport Tigers, the Division I No. 3 seed, went to the halftime break protecting a one-goal lead, but the Ward Melville Patriots, the No. 2 seed, sparked to life in the third quarter, scoring four goals to take the lead for good in the Class A semifinal round, winning 11-8 at home May 23. Junior Jack Gillen led the way for the Patriots, scoring t h r e e goals

with one assist. Senior Dylan Pallonetti had two assists along with two goals, and Brandon Aviles found the cage twice. Sal Micco, a junior, topped the scoring chart for the Tigers, stretching the net four times while senior captains Max Napoli and Liam Caulfield had two goals apiece. Northport concludes their 2019 campaign with a 10-5 record, 11-6 overall. The Ward Melville Patriots advanced to the Suffolk County championship round at Farmingdale State College May 29, where they faced the No.1 seed Smithtown West.

University

Actor Alan Alda receives degree along with thousands of Stony Brook University grads

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

On May 24, more than 7,500 graduates, ranging between the ages of 18 and 72, joined the nearly 200,000 Seawolves worldwide as Stony Brook University celebrated its 59th commencement. Award-winning actor Alan Alda, a 2016 TBR News Media Person of the Year, received an honorary degree at the ceremony. The polymath is the inspiration behind the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University. He is best known for his role as Hawkeye Pierce in the TV show “M*A*S*H.” Alda, pictured above on right, talked about the importance of connection during his address. “It takes work,” he said. “But here’s the thing — if

you dig down under the surface to bring to the surface your own dream, your own thing that motivates you, that makes you want to help other people that is born from your sense of generosity. The work you do to accomplish that dream won’t seem like work. It’ll seem like fun. That’s how it’s been for me. And you may find, as I’ve found, that the dream you start out with can morph into some other dream and another dream after that.” Greg Marshall, SBU class of 1988, also received an honorary degree. He is the inventor of Crittercam and a Stony Brook University Marine Sciences master’s program alumnus. Crittercam is a video/audio system that allows humans to study wildlife behavior by experiencing the world through an animal’s perspective on land or in the sea. Photos by Greg Catalano

Opinion

Open the freezer Despite the hours we work to consistently get this paper into your hands and the local news to your eyes and your ears, we cannot be everywhere at once. Our budgets are ever-more limited, and our attention is pulled to all parts of our coverage areas. News outlets having to cut staff and resources means there are gaps of information. We do our best, and we hope you agree it is well worth the buck you paid for it, but perfect coverage is impossible in this day and age. Something will move in to fill the gap — it’s the nature of these things. Surprisingly, that hole has been filled with something that was once used for college kids to learn who was dating whom, that being Facebook. It’s amazing how much information is parsed and spread through individual Facebook pages, along with both private and public groups. You have community pages, moms pages, VFWs, even small municipalities like fire departments and villages all using their pages to get messages out. For us journalists, Facebook has become a tool to gather stories, sources and even occasionally to conduct interviews. But for residents, Facebook is a razor-barbed rose. Disturbingly, to professional journalists who do their absolute best to get to the heart of the truth, the opposite is regularly proliferated through these same Facebook pages. Rumors fly across social media faster than any one person could hope to actually investigate each post. At meetings, we often hear officials complain about the rumors spread online, though we journalists condemn any elected official who should ever truly complain about a community becoming engaged, looking at the overall low polling numbers across the spectrum. However, this activism on the community’s side is not helped with false facts. Taking journalism classes in college, students are often first made to take a media literacy course, which helps students identify false information when it’s presented to them. One phrase, which became a tagline at the media literacy course at Stony Brook University, was “open the freezer,” relating to a media report back to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans back in 2005. One broadcast claimed the bodies of those who died during that traumatic storm and its aftermath had been stacked in a walk-in freezer as they were waiting for transport. However, the news report was false, there were no bodies in the freezer. The problem? The reporter never bothered to open the freezer and see for themself. Don’t take what is on Facebook for truth automatically, as each one of us can be a little journalistic even without a degree. Try researching online, try calling the people referenced in these stories. Don’t take any information presented for you at its face value. Skepticism is healthy for the eager news junkie. Never let what you read on Facebook be the end to a story. Be sure to take a peek inside that proverbial freezer.

The Setauket Neighborhood House Photo by Heidi Sutton

Thank you to the community Dear Community, In 1918, Eversley Childs, a former owner of Bon Ami Cleanser, and his wife, Mary, gifted The Setauket Neighborhood House to be used as a community meeting house. Some 101 years later, we are still celebrating this gift. On May 10, we hosted the 7th annual Taste of the Neighborhood with more than 100 people attending to support this endeavor. We are grateful for the delicious food donated by the following restaurants: Caffe Amici, Chick-fil-A, the Country House Restaurant, The Curry Club, Elegant Eating, Express Catering by David Prestia, the Old Field Club, O Sole Mio, Three Village Inn, Villa Sorrento, Setauket Gourmet and Setauket Pastaria. We would like to thank our corporate sponsors: New York Community Bank, Merritt Environmental Consulting

Corp., Farber, Rosen & Kaufman P.C. and Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP. Our beautiful raffle baskets held donations from: Ace Hardware, BB & GG Farms & Nursery, Big Yank Cleaning Service, Blue Salon + Spa, Florie’s Finales, Gold Coast Bank, La Famiglia, O Sole Mio, Salsa Salsa, Setauket Pastaria, Stop & Shop Setauket, Taylor True Value Rental, Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace and Wild by Nature. Additional organizations which donated were Astonished Harvest poetry workshop at SBU, Crystal Bowls & Meditation, Aerobic Dancing by Jackie taught by Rita Scher and Yoga & Meditation with Natalie. We are especially thankful to Debbie Bryant who dedicated her time and skill to wrapping our baskets creating a beautiful visual effect. Debbie and her

husband, Fred, also donated two baskets of gifts and, for that, we are most appreciative. Thanks go to the Three Village Garden Club which obtained plants donated by the Town of Brookhaven Holtsville Ecology Site, that were planted in front of the house after the event. Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to the exceptional students of Ward Melville High School’s Key Club and Jazz Band for providing us with kitchen and serving help as well as excellent entertainment. The funds generated by this event will support the upkeep of The Setauket Neighborhood House, truly our community treasure. Thank you to all who love it as much as we do. President and board members of The Setauket Neighborhood House

Opinion

Managing the uneasy marriage between determination and doubt

W

e generally don’t have to look too far to find difficult marriages. But what about the unions that reside

inside us? Determination and doubt travel together when we’re making a decision, when we’re confronting the naysayers and when we’re preparing for the next steps in our lives. Sure, I could take the harder assignment, prove something to D. None myself or my boss, of the above venture into the unknown in my BY DANIEL DUNAIEF area of expertise, or I could stick with what I know, take jobs that will be manageable and remain in my comfort zone.

Determination is often considered the more admirable member of this marriage. Such fortitude pushes us to set new expectations and to venture into arenas where the risks we take could cause physical or emotional bruises. We see determination when we look at the faces of people running up a hill, returning home late from work, or practicing their musical instruments until they develop rings on their lips or red welts on their necks. When we’re seeking inspiration, we read about or consider the determination of others, who overcome financial, emotional or logistical limitations and exceed everyone’s expectations but their own. Determination is akin to an offroad vehicle that we maneuver into untrodden or difficult terrain, hoping our suspension and alignment can handle the sudden and unexpected contours of a landscape better suited for pictures or studies of nature than for travel. While it has a bad reputation, doubt, like the blue girl Sadness from the movie “Inside Out,” also has its place. Doubt can, of course, make the determined part of ourselves even more steadfast,

as we seek to prove to ourselves and everyone else that we can and will accomplish anything. Doubt is the rain that can make the sunshine that much sweeter. Doubt also can spring from reason and understanding, as in, “I doubt climbing to the top of that tree, when I haven’t maneuvered to the top of a tree in years, is a good idea.” Yes, doubt can and does save us, not just from embarrassment but from injuries, discomfort or dead ends. Reflexively ignoring doubt as an unwelcome voice whispering in our ear carries risks that may be unnecessary, such as ignoring a “Beware of the Dog” sign before jogging through a stranger’s yard. So, how do we deal with this married couple? Do we let determination rule the day most of the time, while we periodically give doubt the chance to share concerns about obstacles and consequences? The answer depends on the circumstance. What is the downside to acknowledging, understanding and appreciating the origin and

potential benefit of a doubt? This doubt shouldn’t need to hide behind the punch bowl, sit in the dark with the coats in a back bedroom, or wait in the car while determination gets to run wild, pushing our limits. We should consider doubt — whether we or someone else expresses it — in the open, allowing ourselves to ponder and plan for the difficulties ahead, giving ourselves a chance to make informed decisions and to see a few steps into the maze of our future. Our doubt may help us find a better course of action, redirecting and refocusing a determination that enables us to persevere over the course of a future filled with potential but riddled with uncertainty. If our determination makes a better case than our doubt, at least we’ve benefited from the marriage that lives in us. Indeed, at its finest, determination should not only understand and appreciate doubt, but this tenacity should also use concerns and objections as motivation, giving determination the opportunity to win over the concerns doubt expresses.

From sudden choices, deep roots grow

ncredible as it seems to me, it was exactly 50 years ago that we started packing for our move to the North Shore of Long Island. We were on an Air Force base in Texas at the time and had originally not planned to come here. It was 1969, the Vietnam War (a part of our everyday life in the military) was raging, both Kennedys and Martin Luther King had been assassinated, the country was being ripped apart by riots, and until that moment we had intended to settle permanently in San Diego. My husband, who loved warmer weather, Between had researched the you and me climate throughout BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF the nation and decided that when his

tour of duty ended, we should live on the southern California coast. So we were taking our two sons, the third still in utero, to settle on the other side of the country from the city in which we were both born. But our families were still in New York. And when the time came for us to declare our intentions to the movers, we couldn’t go through with the decision. In those chaotic times, family seemed the most important element of our lives. My parents were our children’s only grandparents, my husband’s parents having both passed away some years earlier. Our children were my parents’ only grandchildren, and they all adored each other. To everyone’s surprise we changed our plans at the last minute and wound up in Stony Brook, attracted by the coming medical center, which my husband felt would enrich his ophthalmology practice. The rest is history, our history interacting with our hometown, and after half a century I will say that the community never disappointed. We discovered St. Charles Hospital, where our third son was born and where I was cared

for like royalty. After a nomadic year of renting, we found a beautiful piece of property in the middle of the woods and borrowed to the hilt so that we could build a modest ranch house there. My husband started his solo practice—that’s what physicians did in those days—in a small medical building in Port Jefferson, and after six months we could afford linoleum to cover the subflooring in the kitchen. A year later we were able to pave the driveway. We regarded those as personal high water marks. Meanwhile we loved, loved, loved the beaches, the creeks and the rivers within easy drive. We swam, collected all manner of shells and identified them for our children, we rode tire tubes into the harbor as the tide swept us out of the creek and we rented kayaks to paddle on the Nissequogue River. Our big expenditure was a Sailfish that we kept on the rack at the beach, and we sailed across Stony Brook Harbor to the Smithtown beach. We were pleased to join the Historical Society, the Environmental Center, the Emma S. Clark Library and the Civic Association. People

welcomed us, we found friends—or rather our children found friends and we then became friends with the parents—and we enjoyed the social and cultural scenes thoroughly. Our children were educated in the local school district well enough to continue in life and thrive. We thank the many teachers, administrators, counselors and other personnel who every day delivered that fine effort. My husband’s practice grew, and so did our children, so that shortly after the youngest started first grade I was able to realize my dream: starting a hometown newspaper to serve these villages. Again, our work was welcomed and our lives blossomed. I am thrilled every time I meet new residents and visitors to our area. Those contacts are invariably enriching, and we take our mission to provide impartial information and protect the community to be a noble pursuit. Over the years, I have been lucky enough to be joined by highly committed colleagues. After 50 years, we can look back and know that we made the right choice.
