Bright Side wins Poquott election BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Voters in the Village of Poquott took a walk on the Bright Side June 18. Tuesday night Poquott residents had the opportunity to choose among four candidates for two trustee seats on the village board. Incumbent Jeff Koppelson, who was aiming for a third term, and newcomer Tina Cioffi ran together on the Bright Side ticket and won, according to the village’s deputy clerk Cindy Schleider. Cioffi garnered the most votes at 208, while Koppelson had 207. The duo ran against incumbent John Richardson, who was running for his second term as trustee, and Felicia Chillak, who gained 184 and 187 votes, respectively. Both were on the We the People ticket. Koppelson complemented his running mate’s campaigning in an email. “Tina did a great job campaigning and showed why her energy and personality will serve the village well,” he said. “Considering the size of Poquott, our margin of victory was pretty decisive so all of us feel that our message was

heard and appreciated.” With the village putting years of debate over the recently constructed community dock behind them, the incumbent recognized the amount of votes Richardson and Chillak received. The We the People candidates were proponents of the dock being put to a referendum and felt residents needed more of a voice in village regulations. “John Richardson and Felicia did garner a lot of votes, so we are well aware that the village continues to be divided,” Koppelson said. “We’ve tried to be inclusive, but we hope that having Tina on the board will help build consensus moving forward. Bottom line, though, is that once again the election showed that a majority of the residents in Poquott approve of the work we’ve done and direction we’ve taken the village.” On the Facebook page Poquott Life Matters, which Chillak administrates, she posted a message after the results were in. “Thank you to all those who came out and supported John and I,” she wrote. “Unfortunately, we were 21 votes shy. Just know we will continue for what we believe.” Paul Edelson ran unopposed for village justice and received 344 votes.

Stony Brook Medicine and the Suffolk County Police Department are joining forces to provide proactive health services to residents. Officials announced June 14 that the police department and Stony Brook Medicine’s Mobile Mammography Van will host events this summer at various county locations. The events will provide convenient access to mammography examinations for SCPD employees as well as the public. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart, who was previously diagnosed with breast cancer, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D), members of the Suffolk County Police Department and Stony Brook’s Mobile Mammography Program coordinator Dr. Patrick Dineen were on hand for the announcement. “Commissioner Hart should serve as an inspiration to us all, using her own personal experience with breast cancer to raise awareness about the power of early detection, which has saved countless lives,” Bellone said. “By partnering with Stony Brook Medicine to bring their Mobile Mammography Van to a number of different locations all across the county this

summer, we are making it easier than ever for working women to get checked.” Officers from the Community Relations Bureau, Canine and Aviation Sections will be on hand to interact with children while their parents are being screened, according to county officials. Activities will include demonstrations, games and giveaways. Hart said her first mammogram detected cancer in its earliest stages, and she hoped sharing her story would inspire others to be screened. “Our mission includes fighting crime and one of the most effective ways to continue to drive down crime is to ensure we are finding new ways to partner with all our communities,” she said. “I believe our partnership with Stony Brook Medicine will serve as a great outreach to members of the community.” Dineen said Stony Brook Medicine was thrilled about the collaboration. “The partnership between Stony Brook Medicine and the SCPD strengthens the efforts to ensure that all women from all DETECTION CONTINUED ON A12

Boy Scout inspires county park stewardship program BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Soon a walk in the park could turn into park stewardship for interested Suffolk County residents thanks to a Boy Scout’s love for a Stony Brook park. Recently, county legislators approved a plan to create a parks stewardship pilot program that will be rolled out in 10 unstaffed Suffolk parks. The idea began when East Setauket Boy Scout Jake Butkevich, 17, approached Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) about volunteering in Forsythe Meadow County Park in Stony Brook. Butkevich said in an email that he was inspired to propose a program after volunteering in the Adirondacks where he was assigned a trail to maintain. He chose Forsythe Meadow because he wanted to give back to his community. “Nonstaffed parks like Forsythe Meadow are perfect for stewards to take care of,” he said. “Much of the work that I have done while taking care of this park throughout the fall of 2018 and this spring is menial like trimming back bushes and picking up fallen branches, both of which make walking the trails a much

more enjoyable experience.” Hahn, who sponsored the bill to create the stewardship program, said she’s excited about the program, and while Scout troops and other groups have adopted parks in the past, she said the new initiative will allow individuals to become park stewards. Butkevich said he’s excited about the pilot program, and he was appreciative of Hahn working with him on the idea.

“I hope this program will be effective in keeping our county parks better maintained and inspiring young people like myself to give back to the community and to be passionate about the outdoors,” he said. Hahn said she hopes neighbors of unstaffed parks will volunteer to walk it once a week, pick up small pieces of trash and report back to the county about trees that need to be trimmed, branches that have fallen or any kind

of vandalism. She said stewards will enable the county to be more on top of what is going on at the unstaffed parks, and in turn staff workers can then be dispatched to mow grass or trim trees. The legislation doesn’t name specific parks, which allows for 10 stewards to work on a park they choose. “It would give us real eyes on the park,” Hahn said. According to Hahn’s office, there are more than 63,000 acres of county parkland. The pilot program will run for one year to determine the program’s feasibility for possible expanded use within the county, and after the year is up, the parks department will make the decision about fully implementing and continuing the stewardship program. In a statement, Philip Berdolt, commissioner of Suffolk County Parks and Recreation, said the program would help to engage residents in the conservation of local parklands. “By becoming a steward of Suffolk County Parks’ green spaces, you will help ensure that our county’s natural resources are cared for and kept safe for future generations,” he said. The bill now awaits County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D) signature.

Strong’s Neck couple installs low-nitrogen septic system and spreads the word BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM When it came to their cesspool being replaced, one Three Village couple based their choice on their concern for local waterways. Tom and Carolyn O’Dwyer decided to install a low-nitrogen septic system on their Strong’s Neck property this spring after learning about the treatment process. Unlike a cesspool where bacteria and nitrogen can seep out, and into local water sources, Tom O’Dwyer said in their new system water percolates through a septic system, and the advanced process removes more nitrogen than a cesspool. Excessive nitrogen can affect the oxygen level in water where it is below the necessary levels to support marine life. “It’s good for the environment, and it’s good technology,” he said. “I do this stuff every day, so I figured I would lead by example.” O’Dwyer, an environmental engineer, recently attended classes offered by the county to learn about the systems and the grants Suffolk has to offer to those who choose to install them. As of July 1, Suffolk County residents who voluntarily decide to replace their cesspools will need to replace them with a system consisting of a septic tank and leaching pool at a minimum. Contractors will need to register the system with the Department of Health Services. While residents can choose a conventional septic system, another option is an advanced device that removes more nitrogen. County grants of up to $20,000 are available for residents who qualify, where the county has been offering the grants for the last two years. There is also an additional state grant of up to $10,000, which can mean a total of up to $30,000. O’Dwyer said he and his wife bought their house four years ago, and while the cesspool hadn’t given them too many problems, after

hearing about the low-nitrogen units, he thought it was the best way to go, especially with living 500 feet from the water, a part of their home they love. “Our family enjoys swimming, boating, fishing and clamming in the local waterways, so clean water is very important to us,” he said. Involved with larger projects like past work on the Tappan Zee Bridge, he began hearing about low-nitrogen installation projects out East and decided to start learning about the systems and soon began designing them. O’Dwyer said so far most of the work he has seen has been on the East End of Long Island, and he’s trying to get the word out to his friends about the grants and is currently working on three different homes on the North Shore where the homeowners are tired of their cesspool problems. O’Dwyer said he found the process to apply for a grant from the county easy. He filled out an application and submitted a deed and tax forms. He said residents can then pick an engineer to design the system and pick a contractor off the list of county-approved contractors. Suffolk then directly pays the contractor. The engineer said a site can be difficult at times due to certain ground conditions, and homeowners may have to pay more than the average of nearly $20,000. Field testing may be required to see if the ground is clay or sand and how well the soil will drain. As for engineers, the price averages around $2,500. Peter Scully, deputy county executive for administration, said Suffolk County sanitary code requires that the low-nitrogen systems treat down to at least 19 milligrams per liter of total nitrogen, and it’s the most stringent requirement in the northeast. He said while the total nitrogen from cesspool discharge is said to be around 65 milligrams per liter, “the health department staff routinely see samples with concentrations

of total nitrogen far in excess of 65 mg/l and in excess of 100 mg/l.” He added that conventional septic systems discharge 61 mg of nitrogen per liter, and the low-nitrogen systems create a 70 percent reduction when compared to cesspools. George Hoffman, co-founder of the Setauket Harbor Task Force, calls those who upgrade to low-nitrogen septic systems “harbor heroes” because, he said, they care enough about water quality to do the right thing. “It’s good to hear that homeowners in our area are installing low-nitrogen septic systems and are having a positive experience and setting an example for their neighbors,” he said. “This is especially important on Strong’s Neck where the transit time for groundwater to Setauket Harbor and Conscience Bay is less than two years.” Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), a proponent of the bill, said the code was updated to match what was passed in 1972 for new residential construction where conventional septic systems with a leeching pool needed to be installed. “They knew way back — almost 50 years ago — they knew the cesspool itself was not enough,” she said. “It’s essentially a hole in the ground.” She said studies of subwatersheds in the county, where more than 70 percent of structures are not hooked up to sewer systems, have shown quite a bit of nitrogen from residential waste. She said while the low-nitrogen septic systems are not yet mandated like the conventional septic systems, it’s possible as early as next year that they could be for new home construction.

Hahn said the commitment of the county executive, legislators and county staff members has included working with the wastewater industry to find ways homeowners can switch over to the new system, how to install and to know exactly what the systems do. “It’s been a tremendous accomplishment to get where we’re at,” she said. She said many residents might save money with the low-nitrogen systems if faced with replacing a cesspool or at least break even instead of choosing a conventional septic system. She did say there is a small electric charge based on the system annually and a little more maintenance that residents should be aware of when choosing the system. As for the grants, it must be the applicant’s primary residence occupied year-round. Most residents who have applied have qualified, Hahn said. Last week O’Dwyer sampled his new system, and he said the effluent looked clear with no odor. The field samples also showed reduced nitrogen levels. The environmental engineer said he and his wife are happy they installed the system, and now through his business, he plans to help others do the same. “My whole career I was searching for something,” he said. “I was passionate about a lot of things, but this intertwines my passion and my hobbies with my education and engineering background, so it’s a nice match.” Interested residents can call Suffolk County Department of Health Services, 631-852-5811, for more information.

New York Legislature ‘green lights’ green light bill

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After a contentious back and forth between state Democrats and Republicans, the green light bill, a measure that would allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver’s license in New York State, passed the New York State Senate June 17 and was signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). The vote makes New York the 13th state in the nation to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. In the past, undocumented immigrants in New York were allowed to have driver’s licenses if they passed the required tests and proved their residency. In 2001, former governor George Pataki reversed the measure via executive order. Proponents of the bill say that the bill would improve public safety and the economy. “Today is a historic day for New York’s hard working immigrant community,” said Steven Choi, the executive director at the New York Immigration Coalition. “We are glad to see that Governor Cuomo did the right thing by signing the Green Light NY bill into law.” The Story of Nathan Hale, InBenjamin the leadTallmadge up to the vote there was some hesitation of support & the Origin of The Culper from Spies some Democrats, which critics attributed to being wary of backlash to the bill and its impact on the 2020 election year. Jay Jacobs, The Nassau County Democratic chairman, warned the six senators who represent Long Island about the potential political backlash of supporting the bill, according to an article in Gothamist. Jacobs told Gothamist that he personally supports the legislation but believes the bill is too polarizing to pursue in the current legislative session. The legislation moved forward without the support of the six Long Island Democratic senators, who all voted no, as well as three other Republican senators. “I am disappointed that the state lawmakers in Albany voted to approve this terrible piece of legislation,” John Kennedy, Suffolk County comptroller and county executive candidate, said in a statement. “Driving in New York State is a privilege, not a guaranteed right, and we should not be extending privileges to those who do not follow the law. I strongly urge the Governor to do the right thing and veto this legislation.” Other Republicans in the state Legislature shared opposition to the green light bill. “This legislation is an outrage to law-abiding New Yorkers, as well as to new Americans that have taken the appropriate steps to become citizens legally,” New York State Sen. John Flanagan (R-East Northport) said in a letter. “The

overwhelming majority of New Yorkers oppose issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. And yet, that is exactly what Senate Democrats did.” The Long Island Democratic Senate Delegation said in a statement that they value the important contributions made by immigrants to the local economy and communities. “Following countless meetings with stakeholders, residents, and advocates on the implications of this bill, our vote is based on the continued existence of serious concerns raised by stakeholders and law enforcement,” the statement read. “We will continue to stand together in the best interest of Long Islanders.” Some lawmakers shared concerns that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency could possibly obtain driver’s information and use it for deporting individuals. Cuomo also raised similar concerns before the vote, stating that he would veto the bill if the federal government would be able to access driver’s information that could be used for deportation. He then asked the state attorney general to review the bill and would sign the bill if it didn’t give federal authorities access to DMV databases. State Attorney General Letitia James (D) wrote a statement the night of vote. “The legislation is well crafted and contains ample protections for those who apply for driver’s licenses,” James said in a statement. “If this bill is enacted and challenged in court, we will vigorously defend it.” The bill would require undocumented immigrants to take a driver’s license exam and be able to buy car insurance. The measure would go into effect in 180 days and undocumented immigrants could get licenses starting in December.

History Close at Hand

Revolutionary War heroes still remembered in Setauket BY BEVERLY C. TYLER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In a Setauket family graveyard set on a hill above an ancient colonial home is buried a young man, Arthur Smith, a patriot who was killed by British soldiers probably in the fall of 1776 simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In a South Setauket graveyard along Pond Path is the grave of Zophar Hawkins, a Revolutionary War patriot and friend of Smith whose adventures included a number of brushes with death. Smith, born about 1740, was the grandson of Benjamin Smith who is thought to be the builder of the circa 1685 home along Main Street in Setauket where Arthur Smith was born. The home just to the north of the Smith homestead was the Tyler Tavern, where Smith was killed. Hawkins grew up in and eventually inherited his father’s home near the intersection of Pond Path and Lower Sheep Pasture Road in Nassakeag (South Setauket). Earlier in his life, during the Revolutionary War, Hawkins at about the age of 20 was involved in an incident at the Tyler Tavern. This piece of family folklore was recorded by Kate Strong in her “True Tales from the Early Days of Long Island”: “It was after the beginning of the Revolutionary War and after the Battle of Setauket that word was brought to South Setauket that there were exciting doings down by Setauket Pond. Zophar Hawkins (who perhaps found life a bit quiet after his earlier adventures) and his friend Arthur Smith decided to go down and see what was going on. They found a small party of British soldiers, after having landed from a small whaleboat, had marched to Tyler’s Tavern in search of deserters. This inn ... used to stand near the road [at the intersection of Main Street and Christian Ave.] It was later moved [back up the hill] and still shows the bullet holes. “As the soldiers entered the building,

Redfern, a school teacher, rushed upstairs and called to two girls sleeping there that they were safer in bed. He had only returned four steps downstairs when a stray bullet from the British muskets struck and killed him. Two other men were killed and a third escaped by climbing up the great chimney. “Zophar and Arthur were hanging around outside; the British catching sight of them fired and killed Arthur, and as they thought, Zophar. But Zophar had dropped as they fired and lay as though he were dead, an Indian trick. It is said that when the soldiers had gone, Zophar jumped to his feet and ran so fast for home you couldn’t see his heels for dust.” Hawkins served as a soldier in the Patriot cause during the Revolution and returned home after the war uninjured. Like his father Samuel,

home and farm, was assessed for 300 acres. Julianner Hawkins died on October 8, 1842 at the age of 67. Zophar Hawkins died on October 26, 1847 at the age of 90. They are both buried in the Hawkins cemetery along Pond Path. On Hawkins’ tombstone is written, “He served his country faithfully in the Revolution, and was a captive among the Indians 3 years. He lived a quiet and peaceful life, Was happy and resign’d in death.” Hawkins’ son Samuel Hawkins did not marry. He died on May 6, 1879 and the farm passed out of the Hawkins family. It was later known as the Nassakeag Farm. Beverly C. Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket.

I did not, and I feel the need to say so. God willing I will be present at next year’s Flag Day Ceremony for you and your families. Sincerely, Rudy Mazurczak

Hawkins was a farmer. However, he did not get married and start a family of his own until he was 43 years old. As recorded by Samuel Thompson in his diary for April 16, 1800, “Zophar Hawkins married to Julianner Bayles last night.” When they were married Julianner was 25 years old. They had six children between 1804 and 1816. Their first child Moses died at the age of two. Their third and fourth children Sarah and Ruth were twins. Sarah died the day of her birth and Ruth died unmarried at the age of 24. The other three children Mary, Elizabeth and Samuel had long lives. In 1851, Hawkins’ estate was listed on the Town of Brookhaven assessment rolls as 70 acres, with a total worth of $2,200. The estate paid a tax for the year of $5.06.

Obituary

George V. Barber, former fire commissioner, resident BY DEBORAH WAGNER-BARBER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM George V. Barber, a former fire commissioner with the Setauket Fire District, died May 26. He began life in Richmond Hill, Queens, May 21, 1942. Through the 77 years of his life, he was known as an educator, mentor and community activist. He loved acting and singing in high school and dabbled in performance throughout his life. He was proud of earning his Eagle Scout award and credits being an Eagle Scout with his landing his first job at Sachem High School. Scouting was a special bond between him and his family throughout his life. He often told stories of the Boy Scout hikes he would have with his troop and sharing that time with his father. After he started a family of his own, he was a co-leader of a Girl Scout troop for his daughters and was part of the founding class of Stony Brook University. He began his studies at Coe Hall in Oyster Bay when the school was called State University College on Long Island. In 1962, the school moved to Stony Brook where he completed his bachelor’s degree in sociology/anthropology. He continued his studies at Hofstra earning his Master of Science degree and attaining both his attendance officer

and educational administration certificates. At Sachem High School, his first job was as an attendance officer. As truancy officers became less important in schools, he moved to the classroom where he taught social studies. Later in his career he was department head for a group of 24. He loved working with exchange students as well as the general population. He and his family were part of a teacher exchange program where they were able to spend a year in Adelaide, Australia. He was part of the Sachem family for more than 30 years. His summers were spent at Jones Beach and Wildwood State Park as part of the Long Island State Parkway Police. He was on the force 13 seasons. Although family, teaching, co-leader of a Scout troop and parkway police kept him busy, he also found time to be Sunday school director of the Setauket Presbyterian Church, as well as a volunteer firefighter and EMT in the Setauket Fire Department. He was a lieutenant at Station 2, department treasurer and later elected to the board of fire commissioners. “The Setauket Fire Department family is saddened to learn of George’s passing,” current commissioner Jay Gardiner said. “George was a 42-year member of Engine Co. 9 as well as a probationary instructor, lieutenant, and EMS

instructor. He also served with distinction as an elected member of the Board of Fire Commissioners. He was a valued part of the Setauket community.” Barber was also president of the Brookhaven Bathing Association for many years. He loved organizing the parties to celebrate the Fourth of July and Labor Day.

On Sunday June 16, the Caroline Church of Brookhaven, located at 1 Dyke Road, Setauket, held a rededication of its restored 1887 Carriage Shed. The congregation, community and the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation were all thanked for contributing to the restoration project. Kathleen Springer, pictured left,

Barber and his second wife, Deborah Wagner-Barber, became involved in teaching emergency medical training, CPR, first aid and crisis management. Board certified in school crisis response, they presented workshops at many conferences including the National Association of EMS Educators, International Association of Fire Chiefs, National School Boards Association and Association of PublicSafety Communications Officials. After returning to his Virginia roots, where he visited his grandmother, uncle and cousin every summer, he continued to teach classes and became a James City County Community Emergency Response Team volunteer. He loved helping prepare people for emergencies, responding to them and mitigating the aftermath. Barber died at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center May 26, losing his battle with bone cancer and emphysema. He is survived by his wife Deborah; his daughter Jennifer; son-inlaw Andy; and grandchildren Nicole, Casey and Christian; his daughter Catherine; son-in-law Josh; and granddaughters Ashley and Sarah. A memorial service was held at King of Glory Lutheran Church in Williamsburg, Virginia, June 12. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Setauket Fire Department or Jamestown Settlement in Virginia.

Ward Melville High School senior and vice president of the National Art Honor Society, Hannah Widerman, initiated a community service project designed to put her and her peers artistic talents to the test while benefiting the residents at Jefferson’s Ferry. Working with art teacher Kristen Dietz, Widerman and NAHS president, Natasha Bartley, visited with Jefferson’s Ferry residents after school in order to meet the residents and photograph them. While Widerman and Bartley photographed the

residents, they asked questions that might help the artists in the creation of their artwork — custom artistic renderings of the residents. After they were edited, the photographs were distributed to NAHS students, who created drawings, paintings or digital renderings of the residents. The goal of this project was to connect with the community and give back to those who help to make Three Village a great place to live and learn. The completed projects were presented to the residents at the end of May.

socioeconomic backgrounds have easier access to screenings since we visit various locations such as businesses, school districts, libraries and churches throughout Long Island,” he said. “Furthermore, not only is the SCPD dedicated to helping our community members, they believe in this program so much that we have scheduled screening events at SCPD headquarters and the 4th Precinct so that staff members are also staying on top of their health.” Eligible residents can visit the van for screenings at the following locations: • Diamond in the Pines, 1844 Route 112, Coram — June 29 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. • St. Hugh of Lincoln R.C. Church, 21 E. 9th St., Huntington Station — July 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • St. Anne’s R.C. Church, 88 2nd Ave., Brentwood — July 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • SCPD 4th Precinct, 727 Route 454, Hauppauge — July 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. According to Stony Brook’s website, the

Mobile Mammography Van team provides services to women on Long Island, age 40 and older, who have not had a mammogram in the last year and are not pregnant. No prescription is needed. Women seeking mammograms at the mobile events should not have implants or breast issues, such as a lump or nipple discharge, and never been diagnosed with breast cancer. They should also have had an office visit with a gynecologist, primary care physician or internist within the past year who is willing to accept the results of the screening. Individuals who do not have health insurance will be processed through the Cancer Services Program of New York, if eligible. On the day of the mammogram, women should not wear deodorant, perfume, powders, lotions or creams on the breast area. The van travels Suffolk and Nassau counties all year round and features a registration area, waiting room, private changing and exam space, 3-D equipment and an all-female medical staff. For more information, call 1-833-MYMAMMO or Dineen’s office at 631-432-0267.

Spring sports roundup: Boys lacrosse, softball BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Ward Melville athletes had an exciting spring season. This week The Village Times Herald shares highlights and season results for boys lacrosse and softball. Check future issues for season summaries of the girls lacrosse, baseball, golf and track and ﬁeld teams.

Boys lacrosse

On May 30, No. 2-seeded Ward Melville Patriots beat No. 1 Smithtown West for the Suffolk Class A Championship. The game was a nail-biter as both teams were tied at 9-9 when they went into overtime. It came down to Ward Melville junior Jack Gillen, whose stick would decide the contest two minutes into the sudden death overtime period when junior Steven Germain fed him the ball and Gillen found the cage, his ﬁrst goal of the game, to win it, 10-9. The win was the fourth time the Patriots were county champs, and while the team went on to the Long Island championship at Hofstra University, they lost to Massapequa June 1, 10-5. This year Frank Ciniglio, Dylan Pallonetti, Brandon Aviles and Pat O’Neil became the ﬁrst players in Ward Melville lacrosse history to be county champions four years in a row. The season included the 100th win for head coach Jay Negus with the team.

On June 29, Pallonetti will play in the 14th annual Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Game at Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood Field. He will be the only player from Suffolk County on the lacrosse ﬁeld at the Under Armour game. Ward Melville is a Division I team in lacrosse. This year the team’s league record was 11-3, and 14-4 overall.

Softball

On senior day, May 16, the Patriots softball team made it to the playoffs. The girls punched their ticket at the last game of the regular season at home against Sachem East that took extra innings to decide by driving in a run in the bottom of the ninth to win 8-7. According to head coach Joseph Burger, the Patriots last postseason appearance was back in 2002. The team played one out-of-bracket game in the playoffs against Deer Park May 18 when the Patriots lost, 9-7. Ward Melville is a League I team in softball. This year the team’s league record was 8-8, and the overall record was 10-9.

Letters to the editor

A black cloud, searching When enough is enough for a silver lining

One has to understand that journalists are human beings, and just as much as it pains people to learn about the death of a young woman, it can be even more painful to write about it. Melissa Marchese, 18, died June 14 after being injured in a terrible car crash in Shoreham. She passed only two weeks before she was set to graduate high school. Since then, the local community has rallied around the family, donating well over $60,000 for the Marchese family in a GoFundMe campaign in less than a week after the crash. Likely the community will continue to support the family even after graduation. It is truly amazing to watch a community come out full force to support a grieving family but, even still, too many Shoreham and Wading River residents recognize the black cloud hanging over their hamlets. Nobody should have to read about a young person dying, but in Shoreham the situation is familiar, just all too familiar. The community went through this grief in 2014, after Tom Cutinella died from receiving a head injury due to an illegal tackle on the SWR football field. In 2018, the community was again devastated after learning about the death of Andrew McMorris, who was killed by a drunk driver while hiking with his Boy Scout troop. In both circumstances, the community rallied behind the families. The SWR football field and a new concession stand was renamed in honor of Tom, while a statue with brickwork done by an Eagle Scout was erected in his honor. In the case of Andrew, the Boy Scout troop has planted a new garden at the community center, where the scouts meet, while the community hung red ribbons on telephone poles, fence posts and mailboxes in his honor from Riverhead to Miller Place. These ribbons still flutter in the wind more than a half-year since he was killed. Shoreham residents have talked to one TBR News Media editor about the black cloud hanging over the small North Shore community of Shoreham-Wading River. One resident succinctly described the circuitous nature of Shoreham’s grief and support in the community: “We’ve had too many opportunities to show what a great community we are.” This tragedy reaches out beyond the community’s boundaries. It is in the nature of editorials like this one where we would ask people to take care, to always wait several seconds when the light turns green before making a move, to wear a seatbelt and to instill the importance of road safety in your kids, but those might be mere platitudes in the face of tragedy. All these tragedies were preventable. If only the driver of the car that hit Melissa’s vehicle was not “distracted,” as he later told police. If only the man who went out drinking that one day in October 2018 hadn’t gotten in his car to drive. If only Tom was not tackled in such a way to collide with his helmet. But whatever happens, Shoreham needs to never lose its sense of community. Let it never become complacent and numb in the face of tragedy. Whenever we have talked to the families who’ve lost loved ones, each time they are comforted by how much the community has come out to support. There may have been too many opportunities to show the humanity of local Long Island residents, but let us never stagger or fall in making sure we all remain compassionate for all who suffer.

When will Congress be held accountable for inaction on every issue but the resistance movement? When will Congress realize that oversight is not overkill? When will policy take precedence over politics? When will Americans realize that the only “constitutional crisis” is within Congress regarding their inaction on the border, health care, infrastructure and trying to undo the 2016 election results? When will anti-Semitism be called out regardless of the source? When will the media print facts

instead of gossip from unknown sources? When will the media stop colluding with the Democrats and be held accountable for their fabrications? When will the media take responsibility for creating a dangerous environment within this country with their repetitive false narratives that are brainwashing and misleading the American public? When will Congress be concerned of how our own government influenced the 2016 election, i.e., FBI, CIA, Democratic National Committee paid-for dossier? When will the media stop using

‘The fireman’s dilemma’ One basic premise of some right-tolife supporters is that all human life is precious and equal. That explains why they regard a pregnancy caused by rape or incest as worthy as any other pregnancy. Even if the logic seems off, the consistency is praiseworthy. That they seem comfortable in making an exception to the life that’s extinguished during warfare — even questionable warfare — is less praiseworthy. But I’d have them consider what I’ve titled “The fireman’s dilemma.” The fictitious Village of Centerville

has a large building, 100 Main St. The building has two wings which radiate off a central lobby. One wing is a fertility clinic housing fertilized eggs. Life. The zygotes will soon be implanted into women. The other wing is a day care center with 3-year-olds. Life. The toddlers are playing with crayons and eating Grahams crackers. The fire department alarm sounds the alert. There’s a blazing fire at 100 Main. The firefighters run to their trucks, which race to the building. They put on

divisive tactics, i.e., race, gender, wealth, religion deliberately to agitate the environment? As related to the Mueller Report, when will the Democrats realize that doing the same thing over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, as per Albert Einstein? Finally, when will the country get an apology for the past two years of wasted time, money, energy and lies? When is enough ... enough? Carol Florio Lisa Pius East Setauket

the inhalators and drag their hoses into the lobby. It’s an inferno. The fire can’t be contained. There’s no time to spare. They must save as many lives in the few seconds available before the building implodes upon itself. You are the firefighter. Do you run to the wing with the zygotes? Do you run to the wing with the 3-year-olds? Is all “life” equal? Bruce Stasiuk Setauket

A response to ‘Help me to understand’ Dear “Help me to Understand” (letter to the editor, June 13), The essence of motherhood — and fatherhood — is unselfish sacrifice, and the driving force of it is love, just as a soldier endangers his own life for the love of those behind him — not hatred for those before him. Science affirms what the Bible teaches: A child temporarily residing inside his or her mother is another

human being with its own unique DNA, chromosomes, fingerprints, heartbeat and so on (every cell of which is either male or female from conception to death). One of God’s Ten Commandments is “You shall not murder.” And Christ, who gave His life for us all, assures us that “as you do to the least of these my brethren, you do it to Me.” Psalm 139 asserts “You (God) knit me together in my mother’s

womb; I praise Thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Thy works.” May God bless you as you are a partaker and partner in the creative, nurturing, self-sacrificing work and love of God. The Rev. Ronald Stelzer Our Savior Church and School Centereach

Opinion

A pinch of parsley and a side of separation

reaking up is spectacularly awkward, highly charged and, in retrospect, ﬁlled with humorous potential. Two people get together for a picnic, where a public scene might be difﬁcult for the recipient. “Want some tabouli? What is tabouli anyway?” “No thanks, and I don’t know what it is. You ordered it, not me.” “Good point, so, I was thinking. It’s probably a good time for us to separate.” D. None “Um, what, of the above excuse me?” BY DANIEL DUNAIEF The lip quivers, the breathing becomes short and

erratic and the eyebrows, shoulders and neck all droop at the same time. “No, yeah, I mean, you’re great and this has been a total blast but, you know, it’s just, I don’t know, it’s not working for me.” “A total blast? You’d call this a total blast? Besides, nothing is perfect. I know my family can be difﬁcult and I know I wake up with bad breath and I do, on occasion, correct your speech, but we can work around that. Don’t you want to try to make it work?” “I’m thinking that it’s probably time to do other things. I’m thinking of moving to Vancouver and you hate the cold.” “Vancouver? Really? Wait, have you been seeing other people? You and my sister get along a little too well. As soon as you start dating her, she won’t be interested. I know I share genes with her, but she’s a horrible person who has ruined my life over and over again.” “No, really, this has nothing to do with your sister. I wouldn’t do that to you or myself,

especially after what you just said.” “Oh, so, now there’s something wrong with my sister? At least she’s not dumping me.” “No, no, I think we have a great friendship and I’d like to stay in touch.” “You’d like to stay in touch? After all we’ve been through, you’re offering me your friendship? You’re not even that good of a friend. You rarely listen and you forget all the important dates in the year and you always want to go to the same restaurants, even though we have so many other choices.” “Right, exactly, I’m so boring, so maybe you’re ready to be done with me?” “Why do we have to end it now? It’s not like I was expecting to marry you. I can’t imagine having a younger version of you in the house. You can somehow shoot baskets from all over a gym ﬂoor that land in a hoop, but you have no ability to throw the dirty T-shirt you wore to play basketball into a much larger hamper that’s also closer to the ground, even though you roll the shirt into a ball.” “I agree. You could do so much better.”

“I’m sure there are plenty of better people out there, but we had some fun, right? We were supposed to go to that dinner next Saturday with the Smiths. They’re your friends, so maybe we should see what works between now and then?” “It’s OK, I already canceled that.” “What? That horrible person Jessica Smith knew you were going to break up with me before I did? How could you do this to me?” “Sorry, I didn’t tell them anything. I just said we couldn’t make it.” “We couldn’t make it because you were going to break up with me today over tabouli. You’re an idiot.” “Right, well, maybe we shouldn’t stay in touch?” “Oh, so now I’m not good enough to be your friend?” “I’m going to be a boring idiot elsewhere.” “Wait, you’re leaving me?” “Yes, and I’ve googled ‘tabouli.’ It’s a Lebanese salad with vegetables, wheat and parsley, just so you know.”

A hypnotic page-turner on Broadway not to be missed

ne of the best plays I have seen on Broadway is the drama, “The Ferryman.” Written by Jez Butterworth, directed by Sean Mendes and playing at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre only until July 7, it is so deserving of winning four Tony Awards, including best play, and should not be missed. The story is about a large Irish family in rural County Armagh in Northern Ireland and conjures up Tennessee Williams and “August: Osage County” for its faBetween milial interactions you and me of love, lust, beBY LEAH S. DUNAIEF trayal, anger, contradictions, secrets, repression and murder. But it is so much more. It is historic, being set in 1981 at the height of The Troubles involving the British, loyalist

Irish Protestants who want to remain in the United Kingdom, and nationalist Irish Catholics, including the Irish Republican Army, who want a united Ireland. It is a story about storytelling as three generations live under one roof of a large farmhouse and slowly reveal much about their own histories. It is about human kindness, as personiﬁed by the appealing leading character, farmer Quinn Carney, husband and father of seven children ranging in age from 16 years to nine months. He houses and employs Tom Kettle, an Englishman, whose mind is not all there, as his handyman; and Caitlin, wife of Carney’s long-missing brother and her son, Oisin, as well as aged aunts and an uncle. Yet Carney is also a former active member of the IRA, with its brutality and bloodshed, which he has ultimately rejected. It has homey fairy tales and classic epics in the mix, hopeless love, and lots of barroom talk and drinking, happy celebrating and passionate confrontations. Amid all that activity, with a cast of well-deﬁned characters, it has genuine, laughout-loud humor. The play is also remarkable for its length. It runs three and a quarter hours with only one

15-minute intermission after Act 1 and a threeminute dimming of the house lights following Act 2. Yet not for a minute, for me and my companions, did it keep from being riveting as it pulsated with suspense interspersed with hearthside family goodness that is set against the background report of Irish Republican hunger strikers dying one by one in a Belfast prison. There are even live animals in the form of an affectionate goose, a feral rabbit and a real, sweet baby. Artfully they all come together to deliver a memorable play and to live in the minds of the viewers well past the end of the performance. The prologue, set against a crumbling, grafﬁtisplayed urban wall, sets the sinister mood with an encounter between craven Father Horrigan and Muldoon, a major ﬁgure in the IRA. And every subsequent scene in which the priest appears seethes with tension. He delivers the news that Seamus, Caitlin’s missing husband, has been found face down, preserved by the acid in a bog, hands tied behind him and a bullet in the back of his head. The mystery of his disappearance deepens because he was not involved in The Troubles. There is an Aunt Pat and Uncle Patrick, as well

as an often mentally absent Aunt Maggie, whose roles are largely to unveil past history even as their passions deﬁne them as three dimensional characters within the family and their country. Their narratives give their lives shape and substance. With the discovery of the body, the past meets the future as Muldoon attempts to contain the truth of the missing husband’s murder from emerging. In the process, other truths seep out in the appropriately furnished great room of the farmhouse that serves as the only site where all subsequent action takes place. In the beginning, the viewer is puzzled as to who the family members are and their relationships to each other, which create an air of mystery. As the plot develops, the answers powerfully emerge, carrying us along, absorbed and engaged. And while the plot is masterfully orchestrated, I don’t want to give away the most important details in the hope that you will still get tickets and join me in your admiration for a remarkable play.
