A beloved member of the Port Jefferson Village community said goodbye to people he has known for nearly three decades during a private celebration Feb. 17 at Schafer’s on West Broadway. Billy Postupak, a Port Jefferson Station resident and driver for the United Parcel Service on the village route, will be finishing out his career in the company’s office, meaning an unfamiliar face will now be working the route for the first time in almost 30 years.

“He couldn’t be more cheerful, more pleasant, more gentleman-like,” the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce’s Director of Operations Barbara Ransome said during the event. “He always has a big smile and we’re happy to see him. He always went the extra mile and even on the streets — I’d flash my headlights at him and he would say ‘hi’ to me. There can’t be a more decent human being. We just wish him the very best.”

Postupak, who graduated from the Comsewogue school district, said he was single when he started working in the village and is now married with two kids. He added it feels like his friends in the area have been with him every step of the way.

“I’m totally taken aback by the whole thing,” he said about the gathering, which was organized, in part, by Ransome. “I’m just a UPS driver. It’s like having a good neighbor. Great neighbors are what they

all are to me. They’ve all been very nice and helped me through everything. People make this village. All the merchants and everybody else, they’re absolutely amazing. I miss them everyday.”

Joann Maguire, owner of Max & Millie’s women’s clothing store for 13 years, shared her thoughts about Postupak.

“The only thing I can say is he’s the best,” she said. “There is nothing that the man can’t do for you, or that’s impossible.”

The owner of The Bench Bar & Grill in Stony Brook is bringing his experience and menu items to the Port Jefferson Country Club beginning in April.

Port Jeff Country Club gets renovations, new proprietor

By Alex PeTroSki alex@tbrnewspapers.com Members of the Port Jefferson Country Club and village residents alike may soon have a new favorite local spot to grab breakfast and lunch.

Port Jeff Village’s country club has reached an agreement with the owner of Stony Brook bar and restaurant The Bench Bar & Grill, located on Route 25A. He will take control of the operation of the club’s grill room beginning in the spring. The village has been searching for a proprietor for the vacant restaurant for several months, and after a thorough vetting process, according to village trustee and liaison to the country club Stan Loucks, The Bench’s owner Jeff Capri was the ultimate choice.

The grill room will be called The Turn at PJCC after its grand opening, which Loucks said is expected to be April 15.

“He’s got a very successful background,” Loucks said of Capri in a phone interview.

“I’m very confident … we’re pretty excited to have this guy on board.”

Loucks said the grill room has been renovated to get the partnership off on the right foot, as new flooring at a cost of about $7,900; tables and other furnishings for about $6,300 and new kitchen equipment have been installed. The village board also approved the purchase of a new bar top for about $4,000 and about $2,600 in electrical upgrades, during a meeting Jan. 24.

General carpentry at a cost not to exceed $17,600 and plumbing improvements not to exceed $5,300 were approved Dec. 19.

“It’s the first time we’ve had this kind of a facility upgrade to make it more attractive and comfortable for the membership,” Loucks said. He said the agreement between the village and Capri is a three-year

contract, which includes a minimal rental charge to be collected by the village that can go up based on success of the establishment in year one, but allows Capri to collect all of the proceeds from food sales.

Loucks said the arrangement is meant to establish a service for members and village residents, not as a means to gain revenue for the club or village.

“We’re not looking to make money on this, we’re just looking to provide a good experience for membership — it’s not a revenue stream for us,” he said.

The menu has not yet been finalized, but Loucks said the plan is to serve burgers, sandwiches, French fries, wraps and more on what he referred to as an “extensive lunch menu,” available from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. most days. Traditional breakfast items will be served from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. He said he and a committee had lunch at The Bench to sample some of their best items during the vetting process, and he’s looking forward to having the food regularly available at the club.

Loucks called Capri and his wife Barbara “true professionals,” and said they have been involved in the renovations and setup of The Turn at PJCC every step of the way.

“He and his wife Barbara have been dynamite,” Loucks said.

Loucks added Capri is in the process of getting a liquor license approved for the location, and happy hour deals a couple of days per week are being discussed.

The grill room will not be open for dinner, because the club already has a contract established with Lombardi’s on the Sound for evenings.

Capri did not respond to a request for comment.

Port Jeff middle schooler creates website to help classmates study

By AlEx PEtroSki alex@tbrnewspapers.com

147204

An 11-year-old at Port Jefferson Middle School is using technology to improve his preparedness for quizzes and exams, but he’s also looking out for the school’s entire sixth grade.

Benjamin Perez-Flesler was preparing for a test on ancient civilizations in his social studies class in November when he decided to create a study guide modeled after one he’d seen created by his LOTE (languages other than English) teacher Robert Farenga to get himself ready to ace the exam. Once he was finished making the quiz list, he though he’d share it with his classmates.

“I think initially it was mostly for myself, but I decided it was easier to share with everyone,” Benjamin said.

His classmates were grateful for the emailed study guide they received, according to Benjamin, so he decided to create more. That’s when he borrowed another idea from Farenga, to take the studying to the next level. His teacher hosts the study guides on a Google site accessible to anyone with the address, so Benjamin decided to make a website of his own.

“Over the Thanksgiving break I thought about how much the first study guide had helped my classmates,” Benjamin said during a presentation on technology in the classroom, made to the board of education Feb. 14. “I decided I would continue making study guides for more tests as they came and realized I would need somewhere to put them … after making the site I shared it with everyone in the grade and all of my teachers. Some of my teachers showed everyone how to get to it and what it was, so many more people started using it.”

He said soon after, a few of his friends asked if they could help with the website.

“With their help, many things were added to the website such as calendars, a feedback page, more study guides and games,” he said.

Currently, the site has three social studies guides, two for science, three for math and

four for LOTE, and Benjamin is still going strong. He and his classmates who helped with the site also offer extra help sessions for students in need at the high school library.

“I was surprised and amazed — kind of in awe of the things that he’s doing by himself,” Benjamin’s mom Daniela Flesler said. “I thought it was wonderful. I was so moved that he decided to share this with everyone else in his class.”

Benjamin’s father Adrian Perez said he would be very curious to see how his son’s endeavor has impacted test scores of student throughout the grade, and praised his son for taking on the responsibility of helping the entire sixth grade.

Benjamin’s parents were far from alone in heaping adulation on the 11-year-old.

“Benjamin, I see a business endeavor in your future, but most of all I would say congratulations on being such a wonderful peer mentor and peer supporter,” school board president Kathleen Brennan said after the presentation. “What a great idea to try and help your fellow students — truly impressive. Thank you for that.”

Middle School Principal Robert Neidig expressed a similar sentiment.

“I am so proud of Benjamin’s commitment to assisting his fellow students with their academic success,” Neidig said when Benjamin was honored by the board earlier in the school year. “His actions demonstrate his selflessness and compassionate nature.”

Benjamin, who’s father is from Spain and mother is from Argentina, said he hopes to be a teacher or a marine biologist when he grows up.

His mom had a hard time holding back her pride in her son’s accomplishments.

“I’m very, very partial of course, I’m the proud mom,” she said. “He really likes challenges, and he’s fascinated by computers and the things you can do with them.”

Hail to the chiefs: the presidents who inspired local leaders

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com In celebration of Presidents Day, local elected officials weighed in on the occupants of the Oval Office who inspired them to do what they do.

Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) — Barack Obama

“I think Obama, who was a law school professor, intimately understood how to use the law to help others and he actually worked his way up through government, so he took all the steps and is a bottom-up leader. Obama being an activist and community organizer really impressed me. I think it’s important that we [as elected officials] are in the community, and talk to people face-to-face about their issues. I think that he is, arguably, the most eloquent, dignified and diplomatic president of my time and I try to emulate his qualities.”

State Sen. Kenneth LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) — Abraham Lincoln

“If you were in my office, whether in Albany or here in the

district, you would see lots of pictures of Abraham Lincoln. When you’re growing up and you’re reading about different presidents, the idea of Lincoln being kind of a frontiersman and the way he grew up and the stories about him are very exciting. As you get older and you start looking into Lincoln’s life, you see the kind of person that he is. He cared very deeply about people and if you look at photos of Lincoln, you could see the deep lines, as some people call ‘worry lines,’ because he cared so much. During the Civil War, he visited wounded soldiers and was very touched by their lives.

I have great concern for people and try to be very helpful to people, and I think Lincoln certainly reinforces those goals.”

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D-West Babylon) — Harry S. Truman

“Harry Truman’s my favorite president. He was an ordinary man who did extraordinary things and demonstrated that you can reach the highest levels of our government while maintaining your integrity. More than 20 years ago, I read David McCullough’s book “Truman” and it was one of the best political biographies I’ve

What was inspiring to me, and it really represents what our country is about, was that anyone can be president and that you can reach the highest levels of our government and really maintain your integrity. Truman’s honesty really impressed me.”

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (RCenter Moriches) — John F. Kennedy

“Kennedy had a sense of hu-

mor, had a sense of history and he learned from his mistakes. His mistake early in the administration was to follow through with Eisenhower’s decision that he did not execute well, with the Bay of Pigs invasion, and he learned from that.

I think that’s why he was so successful thereafter when, in 1962, a yearand-a-half after, we had the Cuban missile crisis, and he was able to diffuse that despite the urging that we invade or bomb Cuba. He avoided that and avoided a crisis and potentially a world war.

I was also extremely impressed with his June 1963 speech at American University about how we all live on one planet and about peace being a much nobler goal, while we were in the middle of the

Cold War. He could see beyond that, so I think he had vision.

Obviously as a person, he had a lot of shortcomings, which a lot of people have dwelled on since the time of his death, but I think as a man and as a leader, people wanted to follow him and I think he was a good president. I know if he had lived, we would not have been in the Vietnam War. He spoke against getting involved. It was sad to see him go, because in going, the policies changed dramatically, and when we changed leaders, we committed an entire generation to war and turned a lot of people into cynics against their government.

Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) — John F. Kennedy

“His presidency changed America. I think so many presidents bring so many different skill sets, and Kennedy believed in America, was passionate about America, put people to work, held the line on taxes and was a compassionate person. Then there’s the whole history of Kennedy and how he was raised and groomed, and how his life was tragically cut short, and I think that adds an air to his [legacy] as well.”

History:

The Tuskegee Airmen

By Rich AcRitelli On April 3, 1939, with war clouds on the horizon in Europe and the Pacific, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved the expansion of the Army Air Force. These national defense efforts by the government also made provisions to allow black college students the chance to enter the air wing of the military. While this presidential action sought the support of black citizens, segregationist Jim Crow laws hindered any form of equality within the United States.

Even as Roosevelt understood Americans would be fighting in the war, he had to contend with the strength of racial hatred and the political and social forces that would not allow any significant changes to the policy of separate, but equal. As Adolf Hitler conquered much of Europe and the Japanese expanded through the Pacific and Asia, many Americans at home refused to reconsider any type of equality towards black citizens who wanted to play a role in the global fight against fascism.

At the time, many minorities hoped if they sacrificed like every other American, additional rights would be expanded to them by a grateful government. Black Americans were willing to join every branch of the armed forces to fight for the rights of people thousands of miles away against totali-

tarian dictators, when they had extremely limited rights at home.

The Tuskegee Airmen were successful pilots that supported the aerial war over the skies of Europe. These black air recruits were told at every turn they did not hold the same leadership and technical attributes as their fellow white pilots. Although these black service members were highly decorated for their service to the United States, their greatest battle might have been against the segregationist policies designed to limit their contributions against the enemy. The military chose the Tuskegee Institute as a major training center for black service members. The educational facility was located in the South and the recruits were ordered to the school that was originally created by noted civil rights leader Booker T. Washington in 1881.

The foundations of Tuskegee were meant to provide the black trainees with an aeronautical background to enable them to become pilots, navigators and mechanics. From the start, it was a daunting task for many of them, as most of the officers running the school were white and it was expected most of the fliers at Tuskegee were bound to fail.

The earliest recruits became the backbone of the all-black flying unit the 99th Pursuit Squadron. While the pilots endured intense pressure, the men who flew over the skies of

at Tuskegee was a waste of money and time by the government, and it was only a matter of time before the program was disbanded. More than 2,000 black airmen graduated from the rigorous program. One of the most vital members of the government to visit the base was Eleanor Roosevelt. In the months before Pearl Harbor, she traveled to Tuskegee to observe the instructional conditions of the fliers. Roosevelt, a proponent of civil rights, spoke with the candidates and she ordered one of the pilots personally take her for a ride above the base. For over an hour, respected pilot Charles Alfred Anderson flew the First Lady as the entire military chain of command for Tuskegee cautiously watched. It was a major turning point for the pilots, as their flying talents were described to all detractors within the government to keep them from closing the school.

With their training complete, the pilots were deployed to Europe to fight against the enemy over North Africa, the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. The 99th Pursuit Squadron was later combined with the 100th, 301st and 302nd African-American aerial squadrons to create the 332nd Fighter Group. The men were led by Colonel (later General) Benjamin O. Davis, who guided his “Red

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

north shore residents divided on Presidents Day

Some protestors condemn Trump’s actions and rhetoric, others sing his praises

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com North Shore residents on both sides of the political spectrum made their voices heard during a local iteration of the nationwide Not My Presidents Day protest Monday, Feb. 20.

Those driving down Route 25A in East Setauket between 3 and 5 p.m. on Presidents’ Day found themselves caught in between the country’s most heated debate.

On one side of the road, a large crowd of diverse protesters rallied against President Donald Trump (R) and his policies, holding up signs that read “Trump is toxic to humans” and “Not my President.” On the other side, a smaller but just as passionate group gathered to support the commander-in-chief, holding signs that read “Liberal Lunacy,” with an arrow pointed toward the group on the other side, and “Pres. Trump Will Make America Great Again.”

Not My Presidents Day rallies took place across the country including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Philadelphia, with thousands of Americans taking to the streets to denounce the president, just one month into his term.

The main group involved in East Setauket’s rally was the Long Island Activists for Democracy, an offshoot of MoveOn.org, which, according to its website, is the largest independent, progressive, digitally connected organizing group in the United States.

Activists for Democracy founder Ruth Ann Cohen, from Lake Grove, held a sign that asked “Why Is Not My President Adolf

Trump in Love with Putin?” She said she started the meetup in an effort to “uphold democracy” and stand up to the president, whom she called a traitor.

“He refuses to show his taxes, he’s been monetizing the presidency left and right, he’s denigrated our country, he’s a coward, and a misogynist,” Cohen said.

Referring to those on the other side of the road, she said, “Those people don’t believe in anything, their minds are full of hatred ... build a wall? We’re for a free shake for everybody. Everyone here is the child or grandchild of a refugee and they want to pull up the drawbridge and keep everybody out.”

Those on the anti-Trump side voiced their concerns of several issues regarding the 45th president, including his now overturned executive order to ban those from Muslimmajority countries, controversial cabinet nominations and what some called “a rise of fascism in this country.”

“I think there’s a general belief the man [Trump] is not competent to be president and

military installations. Eventually the Luftwaffe called the Tuskegee pilots “Black Birdmen,” and white bomber crews continually relied on the black pilots to successfully and safely carry out their missions.

that’s what’s brought all these people out,” Stony Brook resident Craig Evinger said.

Bill McNulty, a Setauket resident and Army veteran who served between 1957 and 1964, said he’s been rallying on behalf of anti-war and anti-violence for decades but with “the coming of Trump, it’s much more than that now.”

“We have to stand in opposition in every way, shape or form,” McNulty said. “With my military background, if I were serving today, I would not obey this commanderin-chief. I would say ‘no.’”

Across the road, American flags waved in the wind and patriotic songs played through a speaker, as members of the North Country Patriots — a military support group formed after the Sept. 11 attacks that meets at the corner every weekend in support of soldiers young and old

— stood their ground with signs that read “God Bless American Jobs” and “Trump: Build The Wall.”

The group’s founder, Howard Ross of East Setauket, said he and the group “believe in our country, believe in serving our country and doing the right things for our country.”

Ross said those on the other side of the road remind him of the people who spit on him when he returned home from serving during the Vietnam War. “I’m never giving my corner up,” he said. “I love to see that flag fly and those people don’t like that. I’ve never heard Obama in eight years get beat up like the press beats up Trump.”

A Tea Party member in the gathering, who asked not to be named, said he was there to support the current president, adding “the resistance to him is unprecedented everybody’s against him ... this is an existential threat to our democracy to not let the man perform his duties.”

Jan Williams from Nesconset, wore a red “Make America Great Again” hat and held up a sign that read “We Support The President, The Constitution, The Rule of Law.” “We’re here because it’s Presidents Day and the election’s over and this is not the way to get anything done, to get the points across,” Williams said. “You’ve got to support the president, the Constitution and rule of law. We’re here to show support, that’s all.”

The anti-Trump side chanted “this is what democracy looks like” and sang “This Land Is Your Land,” while the Trump side chanted “Build the wall” and “God bless America.”

Throughout the rally, drivers passing the groups honked their horns and hollered out their window to show support for one side or the other.

that would still not yet end segregation.

Although there was a lack of confidence in the men, they evolved into a fighting force that struck fear in Hitler’s war machine.

An off-Broadway play and two Hollywood films on the subject — the first starring Lawrence Fishburne and Cuba Gooding and called “The Tuskegee Airmen,” and the

second a story of black pilots who were detained as prisoners of war in “Hart’s War” with Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell — depict the trailblazing men.

Rotary names motivated middle-schooler

Thespians perform ‘Peter Pan Jr.’ Members of the Port Jefferson Middle School drama club presented an outstanding performance of “Peter Pan Jr.” Feb. 11 and 12 before an audience of family, friends and community members. The exciting production featured a dedicated

cast and crew, who learned all aspects of the theater from Lisa Scrom and Mary LaSita, co-advisers of the drama club, as well as from members of the high school drama club, who assisted with choreography and set design.

The Port Jefferson Rotary Club honored sixth-grader Brady DeWitt as the Most Motivated Middle School Student of the Month, at its Feb. 14 luncheon at Cafe Spiga in Mount Sinai. Brady was accompanied by his science teacher Janelle Bellotti, and was feted by the Rotarians, including the school’s principal Bob Neidig and assistant superintendent for business Sean Leister, and also by his parents and extended family. An active member of the yearbook club and student council, Brady boasts a GPA in the high 90s, and is noted for his positive attitude, readiness to learn and willingness to contribute in class.

Among the many positive adjectives used by his teachers to describe Brady, he was referred to as kind, polite, hardworking, often going above and beyond what’s required, helpful to all and a great role model for his peers.

Douglas G. Smith

Douglas G. Smith died peacefully Feb. 11 at his home in East Setauket.

He was born May 27, 1944 in Mansfield, Ohio.

Doug was a man of many trades and talents. He received a bachelor of science degree from Hiram College, then proceeded to earn a Ph.D. from Stony Brook University. After earning his degree in the 1970s, Doug became an assistant professor of biology/animal behavior. In 1980 he changed professions and became part-owner of Setauket Hardware, until the store was closed in 1997. Most recently he worked as the locksmith at Ace Hardware in Setauket.

He was a lifelong ornithologist and in his spare time enjoyed repairing antique clocks for the Spinney Clock Museum in Port Jefferson.

He is survived by his wife, Gretchen; two daughters, Kristin and Lauren; two

granddaughters, Anna and Sophia; and his brother Bruce.

Our family would like to thank the doctors and staff of John T. Mather Memorial Hospital, especially the MIRA program, and the doctors and staff at North Shore Hematology/Oncology Associates in Setauket, for their excellent care. Their combined talents gave Doug two-plus years to enjoy family, friends and life.

The last sounds he heard were that of a great horned owl outside his bedroom window.

A memorial service was held Wednesday, Feb. 15 at Bryant Funeral Home in East Setauket, where family and friends celebrated his life. Contributions in his memory may be made to the Salvation Army of Patchogue, New York. Please visit www.bryantfh.com to sign the online guestbook.

Suffolk County’s current and future financial outlook has been a topic of conversation for months, and a nonprofit founded to ensure government transparency is taking notice, following County Executive Steve Bellone’s (D-West Babylon) presentation to the state Senate and Assembly representatives in Albany Feb. 14.

Bellone visited the capital last week to discuss Suffolk’s “daunting” fiscal challenges going forward. Among his eight points addressed during the presentation was a request for authority from New York State to obtain bonds for separation pay of law enforcement officers for 2017 and 2018, a point of contention raised repeatedly by Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga). Reclaim New York, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization established to “educate New Yorkers on issues like affordability, transparency and education,” echoed a similar sentiment to Trotta’s following the presentation.

“Suffolk County has a problem: it spends too much on its police department,” a Feb. 15 post on the organization’s blog said in part. “Its 2,397 officers were paid an average of $161,463 last year, far more than any other county, or town police officers, or Nassau County’s police, for that matter.

Spending reached this level after years of political action by the police, who spent in 2015 more than $600,000 influencing local elections–from one PAC alone. Now, having fallen behind on those expenses … Bellone is proposing borrowing $60 million because the county doesn’t have enough cash for payouts on unused sick and vacation time, that Suffolk cops were promised years ago.”

Doug Kellogg, the organization’s communications director, said in a phone interview Reclaim New York doesn’t currently have plans to begin a project or campaign pertaining specifically to the police contract, which the county and the Police Benevolent Association agreed on and which runs from 2011 to 2018, but they do plan on monitoring Suffolk’s budget and financial outlook going forward.

“It’s really starting to get out of control,” Kellogg said. “The path can get worse.”

Trotta has said in past interviews he feels like he’s alone in calling out the county’s financial situation relating to the police department contract.

“The county finances are in total shambles,” Trotta said during an interview in his Smithtown office Nov. 15. “[The other legislators are] sticking their head in the sand.

They’re not addressing the real problems.

No one wants to address the problems. You need colossal change.”

Following the meeting, Trotta said it was “typical” of Bellone to ask to borrow to pay for the retirement pay for police officers.

He added he’s been in contact with Reclaim New York and plans to work with them to inform the public about the county’s finances.

“I’m going to work with them because together we could get the word out to the public on how bad it really is,” Trotta said in a phone interview. “The title says it all — we need to take back New York.”

Vanessa Baird-Streeter, a spokeswoman for Bellone, said in a phone interview the request regarding bonds for separation pay was just a small part of his presentation, but if obtained the funds would improve public safety.

“In the future we’ll be able to hire more police officers to ensure our county is safe,” she said.

Bellone’s presentation also included a justification for borrowing to close the budget gap.

“Allowing for this five-year bonding will allow Suffolk County to protect taxpayers and public safety by smoothing out the expense associated with an anticipated increase in retirements,” he said. “Bonding will allow Suffolk County to retain the resources and fiscal flexibility to continue to hire new officers, which is critical to maintain public safety and save taxpayer dollars over several years.”

A look at the county budget by the legislature’s budget review office in October resulted in a warning.

“The county’s structural deficit is increasingly driving our decisions,” the office’s director Robert Lipp said in the review. “The county sets a bad precedent when paying for operating expenses with borrowing.”

Clockwise from above, the Port Jefferson girls’ basketball team accepts its Suffolk County championship plaque; Courtney Lewis leaps for a layup; Corinne Scannell shoots from the free-throw line; and Jillian Colucci shoots from three-point range.

A championship 90 years in the making

By BiLL Landon & deSirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Jillian Colucci and Corinne Scannell know what being a part of a Port Jeff powerhouse is like. They were both on the twotime state champion girls’ soccer team. Now, they can say they are a part of another team that made history with total team dominance.

The Royals basketball team earned the school’s first Suffolk County Class C title since 1927, on Feb. 18. Despite being the first team to take Port Jefferson all the way this year, the

Port Jeff 46 Pierson 43

Royals hadn’t had success is the finals in seasons past. The girls went 11-1 in League VIII last season, and 10-0 the year before that, but lost to Pierson/Bridgehampton and Babylon, respectively, in the final game.

This year, the girls not only made history, they got redemption with a 46-43 win over Pierson.

Senior Courtney Lewis, who scored a team-high of 12 points, was limited well below her 27.3 points-per-game average. She and classmate Jillian Colucci were forced to watch the final minutes of the game from the bench, after fouling out as the 13-point lead they entered the fourth quarter with slowly shrank.

“Honestly, it was very stressful and everyone else on the team stepped up,” Lewis said of watching the end of the fourth quarter transpire. “They just played really well today.”

The Royals led 38-25 heading into the final eight minutes of regulation. That’s when momentum shifted the Whalers’ way. The team slowly chipped away at the deficit, with Nia Dawson, who scored a game-high 17 points, leading the way.

With two of the team’s primary ball handlers sidelined, Port Jefferson head coach Jesse Rosen said his bench players were remarkable.

“They may not have been comfortable in the situation they were put in on the court — especially in a pressure situation — but they stepped up and did a nice job,” he said.

Protecting a six-point lead at that point, Port Jefferson was sent to the free-throw line, but couldn’t cash in. Pierson had the same opportunity on the other end, and used it to lessen the Royals’ advantage to four points.

Coming down to the wire, Pierson’s Isabel Peters went to the stripe and sank both of her free throws with 17 seconds left in the game.

Port Jefferson sophomore Jocelyn Lebron added a free-throw to extend Port Jefferson’s

advantage to three points. Port Jefferson senior Corinne Scannell had an opportunity to put the championship away when she was fouled with eight seconds left, and she didn’t disappoint.

“No matter how much they were gaining on us, we still had the lead and we had to keep that in perspective,” Scannell said. “We put pressure on ourselves, we played as a team and we pushed ourselves.”

Lebron said despite being one of the younger members of the squad, she too knew what her Royals had to do.

“When they got close, we just had to slow this game down a little bit, but keep our energy up,” she said. “I couldn’t be happier with this experience.”

Rosen said he gave his girls some words of advice during the fourth quarter.

“I said to them that runs are inevitable,” he said. “Things like that are going to happen and the key is to be able to weather the run.”

Colucci credited her teammates for how they handled the game’s final minutes, but not before she tipped her hat to her opponents, especially for being the team to top the Royals last year.

“It’s always a tough game against Pierson — they never give up and they play us really hard — but we just had to keep our composure,” she said. “We all made eye contact, we relaxed and we slowed the game down. We tried not to let the crowd get us frazzled and we kept our heads in the game.”

Behind Lewis were Colucci and Scannell with 11 points each. Colucci swished two 3-pointers and Scannell had a double-double with 12 rebounds. Senior Gillian Kenah finished with five points, Lebron added four and freshman Samantha Ayotte scored once, with a shot from beyond the arc.

Port Jefferson will take on Class B’s winner of the Feb. 21 Mattituck and McGann-Mercy matchup for the small school championship ti-

tle at Riverhead High School Feb. 24 at 4 p.m.

While the team will get ready for the next game, Rosen said he just wants his team to take in the moment first.

“I told them to just savor the win,” he said.

“We’ll talk X’s and O’s another time.”

Keeping score Mount Sinai 70, Comsewogue 63 The No. 9 Comsewogue boys’ basketball team traveled to No. 8 Mount Sinai Feb. 16 and lost in overtime in the first round of the Class A playoffs.

Letters to the editor Representatives can help heal political tensions

Black history deserves more than lip service It’s time we pay more attention to African-American history.

Carter G. Woodson, Ph.D., a son of former slaves born in 1875 near New Canton, Virginia, is referred to as the father of Black History Month.

Although he got a late educational start, beginning high school in his late teens, he proved an excellent student and completed high school in less than two years. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Chicago and, in 1912, was the second African-American to be awarded a doctorate by Harvard University.

In 1926 Woodson led an effort to establish an annual observance of Negro History Week. He chose to anchor the weeklong celebration in the second week of February in honor of the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln (Feb. 12) and abolitionist Frederick Douglass (Feb. 14.) Since the accomplishments of African-Americans were largely absent from recorded history in the United States, Woodson dedicated his career to black history and worked to ensure it was taught in schools and studied by scholars.

Woodson died in 1950, 26 years before President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976.

Americans of all shades now know the names of the iconic figures: Douglass and Nat Turner, Booker T. Washington, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks. But of course, there are so many more.

African-American history is filled with the stories of “regular people engaged in positive activities,” wrote Setauket resident Geral Lee in a “Your Turn” on Black History Month that appeared in The Village Times Herald Feb. 16.

African-Americans have served this country heroically in battles on U.S. soil and abroad, oftentimes defending people who would not accept them as equals. They have advanced science and transportation, as evidenced recently in Margot Lee Shetterly’s book “Hidden Figures”, about the formerly unheralded mathematicians behind the scenes at NASA. Rocky Point High School social studies teacher Rich Acritelli wrote a story this week about the Tuskegee Airmen, a division of the U.S. Army created for African-Americans who wanted to fight for a country where they weren’t afforded basic human rights.

Isn’t it time, after more than 40 years of Black History Month observances, for all Americans to take notice of the remarkable achievements of the countless regular folk engaged in positive pursuits who populate African-American history?

In the words of Lee, “If [Black History Month] can fill in the gaps, identify injustice, encourage positive dialogue and provide a platform for people to work toward understanding one another, it is a valuable ongoing process.”

It has been a nerve-racking month under the new Trump presidency.

A week after his inauguration, he imposed a “surprise” travel ban on selected immigrants and refugees, including those with green cards, that left them under house arrest at airports around the country and led to a federal judge deeming the ban illegal. Shortly after that, we began hearing rumors about the new national security adviser, Michael Flynn, conducting undercover “diplomacy” with the Russians (the very ones who interfered in our election) while President Obama was still in office. On Feb. 16, we listened to Trump’s debut “solo” press conference, where he repeatedly lied with self-assurance, excoriated the press for not asking “nice” questions and again compulsively recounted the number of electoral votes he received.

Meanwhile, back home in the 1st Congressional District, our own congressman Lee Zeldin (RShirley) canceled a much-needed town hall meeting, originally scheduled for April.

If any of this is putting you on edge, you are not alone. The American Psychological Association is currently running an article on its website titled, “Many Americans stressed about future of our nation.” This poll, conduct-

File photo

Constituents are calling on representatives like U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin to help ease political tensions. ed in January, reports that this condition applies to two-thirds of Americans, both Democrats and Republicans. “More than half of Americans (57 percent) say the current political climate is a very or somewhat significant source of stress, and nearly half (49 percent) say the same about the outcome of the election.”

In fairness to Zeldin, he has been diligent in responding to his constituents individually through emails, letters and invitations to call his office. But this misses the human need for collectiveness under stress. Since the founding of this country, town hall meet

ings have played an important role in our democracy. They have provided forums for individuals to meet not only with their elected leaders but also with their fellow citizens, to quell their fears of being alone in perceived danger, to exchange useful ideas in public, to bond emotionally with others of like mind.

I appeal to Congressman Zeldin to reschedule his town hall meeting for the near future.

Much stress can be assuaged by knowing we have a collective voice that is being heard.

Karleen Erhardt Port Jefferson

Political disruption is not productive If a portion of one political party chooses to act like a group of petulant schoolchildren, is a group from another party obligated to behave in the same manner?

The Tea Party, a subset of my Republican Party, did much that I found objectionable and I was very vocal about my dissatisfaction. Now we have a subset of the Democratic Party behaving in much the same way.

Perhaps, if the dissatisfied Democrats had put as much effort into getting their candidates elected as they appear to be putting into developing disruptive tactics, there would be a different president in the White House.

One of my ancestors, Benjamin Franklin, was well known

for his position that our fledgling country could only succeed if its leaders put aside their differences and worked together.

Yes, the party that is out of power is obligated to critique the actions of the party that is in power. This out-of-power party is often referred to as the “loyal opposition” and its criticisms must be constructive, not destructive.

Is it possible the current leaders of the Democratic Party don’t understand what happened? Don’t they understand it is the dysfunction in Washington that made it possible for Donald Trump to become president? Do they really believe that more dysfunction is good for either their party or the country?

Politics is based in nego-

tiation and compromise. In the world of negotiation and compromise, no party gets everything they want. A reasonable modicum of civility must be maintained, because tomorrow you will have to negotiate with the very same people with whom you negotiate today and anger does not help that process.

The political leaders in our country need to understand that if they continue to follow the path they have followed for much of this century, very few of them will be in power eight years from now.

But, as always, that is just one man’s opinion.

OpiniOn A case for knowledge instead of fear

hen we were young, we used to think he was hiding under our beds, in our closets or around the corner. Thoughts of this terrifying person kept us up at night, prevented us from closing our eyes and made us insist that our parents search every corner of our room, investigate each sound around us and make sure we were safe.

Before I was born, the boogie man was the Soviet Union, spying on us from overhead in a satellite launched in October 1957. He was watching us from above,

Angeles or studying our driving routes to work.

Today, of course, we have plenty of reasons to fear. Terrorists have made death and destruction their business. They appear bent on the idea that killing us somehow helps them.

It’s horrifying and we need to protect ourselves. The manner in which we do that is up for debate, particularly as President Trump and his staff make a point of reminding us of all the events around the world that we should fear.

We need a strong response, a readiness to act and a careful screening process, keeping out the undesirable elements. President Obama seemed intent on protecting the populace, albeit without the same level of directed rhetoric and without policies of exclusion.

No president wants to be in the White House as the griever-inchief when he knows he could act through policies he has the power to write.

But is there a way to look into

Fake news and readership clues

F

ake news is in the spotlight.

Websites, blogs and social media are populated with it and even print can be. The goal of its perpetrators is to misinform and to destroy readers’ trust in what they read. This calls into question the real work of traditional journalists doing their jobs.

Disinformation campaigns make all news suspect: What’s real and what’s fake? How can a free press properly be the watchdog of the people, the fourth estate of our democracy, if readers can’t believe what

By Leah S. Dunaief they read?

In an effort to sort out the real from the fake, especially in advance of key European elections in Germany, Holland and France, the European Union had created an 10-member team called East StratCom. These overworked diplomats, journalists and

Between you and me

bureaucrats pore through hundreds of stories a day on Facebook and Twitter, according to The New York Times, attempting to sort out truth from fiction. Of course, they are only partially successful. The load is overwhelming. But perhaps they do serve to make readers pause for a moment to consider and check if they read something surprising.

The subject of fake news is deeply concerning to those of us in the news business. Please be assured, as I have noted in this column before, that our papers have no fake news.

Because a little humor leavens the task, I am including some sly old saws culled from the internet and sent me by a friend. I hope they give you a chuckle amid the serious business of reporting the news.

the human soul beyond religious stereotypes and beyond geographic boundaries to know what someone may intend to do? Is this boogie man exclusively one religion? Surely, there are plenty of people who grew up in different countries and following other religions who commit horrible acts.

Do we understand our enemy or do we just want to push those people, whoever they are — perhaps away?

It’s never been clear to me how we can protect ourselves completely from any motivated aggressor, short of living in a concrete bunker deep in the ground, with admission limited to those with a thorough psychological and DNA profile.

We don’t understand many of the mass murderers in our country. We interview their neighbors, family members and classmates after they’ve committed horrible acts. No one could possibly foresee that this unstable person was capable of these atrocities. And, if their associates could have seen it coming, they are

almost admitting culpability. If they say, “Of course, I wrote in my diary two months ago that he might be a killer,” they may feel that they share some responsibility for not preventing these acts.

We need to understand each other and the way the human mind strays off track into a realm of darkness where relief and success are measured in bullets and body counts. We need to know our enemy. I don’t believe we can truly see our enemy in the color of their skin or their passport.

Our mental health system will likely receive fewer dollars in the months and years ahead, so we can focus on building walls and keeping people out. Perhaps a better investment would be to understand the people we fear. Yes, we need to defend ourselves, but we can also build a mental health system that encourages people to find ways to heal instead of hurt.

Who knows? Helping the boogie man could turn him into an ally instead of a sworn enemy.
