VILLAGE Port Jeff planning budget for next school year with additional safety in mind

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

PJSD

How to spend taxpayer dollars has been a hot-button issue in Port Jefferson during the current school year, and the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida, in February that killed 17 people has only added more things to think about for residents and school officials alike.

The district is currently working with a $44.9 million budget draft that rolls over all programs and accounts for mandated contractual and benefit increases from the current year. The proposed spending plan for 2018-19 is 3.65 percent higher than the 2017-18 budget. The current draft makes up for the additional costs with a 2.27 percent increase to the tax levy, meaning taxpayers will be supplying about $807,000 of additional revenue next year, with the remaining increase covered by a 1.46 percent estimated increase in state aid. That number won’t be final until April.

District taxpayers voted down a $30 million bond proposal in December, which would have set aside money to address capital projects to upgrade facilities and infrastructure in each of Port Jeff’s school buildings and administrative office spaces over a 15-year span. The proposed capital bond would have allowed for the building of security vestibules in the high school and elementary school, moved high school classes taking place in portables into the main building and created a more strategic location for the middle school

Port Jeff school district administrators are seeking community input on capital projects. main office, among many other projects. Now, district administration is working to address the most pressing projects within the annual budget and using reserves.

A little more than $800,000 has been allocated toward the district’s capital reserves, and administration is seeking community input to help decide what projects should be addressed with the money if the budget passes, because voters must approve specific uses for capital reserve dollars. Superintendent Paul Casciano said during a March 22 public meeting it would be a challenge figuring out what to address among the district’s pressing needs.

“We had included in discussions prior, but since the unfortunate school shooting down in Parkland, Florida, [safety] has

become a real priority throughout the Island, throughout the state and throughout the country,” he said.

Prior to the shooting, the list of projects slated to be addressed using the $800,000 included $330,000 for renovations to the high school gymnasium lobby bathrooms, $270,000 for vestibules at the high school and elementary school, $43,000 to make Americans with Disabilities Act compliant fixes to the high school track for and $170,000 for classroom reconfiguration. Since the shooting, the administration put together a new list of suggestions, which includes the vestibules, track fixes and relocation of the middle school office for an additional $500,000.

“I like option two, of the two of them,” resident Rene Tidwell said.

The district is in the process of assembling a committee of community members to assist Port Jeff in developing a long-range vision for facilities improvement projects after the budget season, tentatively called the “super schools team.”

“There are a number of things that need to be done,” Casciano said. “We have some aging facilities, we have security needs. We want to bring our facilities into the 21st century in terms of learning opportunities for our students.”

Community input for security enhancement ideas included a system requiring visitors to present and leave identification with security personnel prior to entering school buildings and surveillance of the edge of school grounds. The district already has capital reserve money set aside for a multiyear roof-repair project, which will continue in the upcoming school year. About $1 million will go toward repairing two sections of the high school roof in 2018-19.

“The idea was to get our roofs on a cycle so that we’re not spending it all in the same time period,” board Vice President Mark Doyle said during the meeting of the reserves set aside for roof repairs about five years ago.

The board of education’s finance committee will hold a public meeting April 9 before the general board of education meeting April 10, where a budget hearing will take place and a budget will be adopted. The vote will be held May 15 at Earl L. Vandermeulen High School.

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’: North Shore’s Taking the lead of demonstrations started by people barely old enough to drive during the days of the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement, North Shore students marched Saturday. Their messages were clear in their rhetoric delivered over a sound system from the bed of a pickup truck and on homemade signs: lives lost to gun violence are no longer acceptable, especially in schools, and politicians who do not agree are going to have organized and audible opposition.

A local incarnation of the March for Our Lives, a movement started by survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that left 17 people dead in Parkland, Florida, Feb. 14, took place at the intersection of Routes 347 and 112 in Port Jefferson Station March 24. While thousands stomped through Washington, D.C., and countless other areas across the globe, several hundred gathered locally, thanks to the organizing efforts of students from Miller Place, Port Jefferson, Ward Melville and other area high schools, to call on politicians to take action to prevent gun violence in schools and communities.

Activist organizations such as the North Country Peace Group, Long Island Rising, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Building Bridges in Brookhaven assisted the high schoolers in setting up the demonstration.

Calls for legislative action in speeches and on signs ranged from all-encompassing bans of “assault style” weapons seen abroad, like in Australia; to the more incremental policy changes being discussed in state houses and on the federal level, such as raising the minimum age to purchase firearms from 18 to 21; to bans on modifiers that make semiautomatic weapons function like automatic weapons; stronger background checks; and longer waiting periods for purchases.

“We are infused with a passion for change — change that we hope will drain the stagnant pool of corruption in our nation,” Miller Place High School student Jake Angelo said to the crowd. “We are the hope for our country’s future — the generation of awareness, the generation of calling ‘B.S.’ and the generation of change.”

Nearly all of the student speakers directed their remarks at 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and the National Rifle Association, the powerful lobbying arm whose political contributions are often criticized as the deterrent to advancing gun legislation by those who lean to the political left. Zeldin received nearly $10,000 in campaign contributions from the NRA during his reelection campaign in 2016, according to campaign finance watchdog OpenSecrets.org.

“Change does not happen when the leaders deem it so,” Ward Melville High School student Scott Egnor said. “Change happens when every day folks say that enough is enough. Change happens when every day folks draw the line. Change happens when we vote Lee Zeldin out. We will take this movement, by Americans, for Americans, and we will bring it to the doors of the capital. We will not stop until Congress is more afraid of our voice than the NRA checkbooks.”

Longwood sophomore Ariana addresses march attendees at the Port Jefferson Station sister March for Our Lives March 24.

A spokeswoman for Zeldin, Katie Vincentz, said in an email the congressman has and will continue to meet with those on both sides of the gun control debate, when asked if he planned to meet with any of the NY-1 students behind the Port Jeff Station march. She said Zeldin supports banning bump stocks, fixing the National Criminal Instant Background Check System and “ensuring lunatics manifesting violent criminal intentions to murder with firearms have access to none,” among other changes widely regarded as incremental gun control steps. She did not say whether or not he would support a ban on assault-style weapons when asked.

“The more people of all ages participating the better,” Vincentz said when asked how Zeldin viewed the activism of students in his district and beyond.

A speaker who identified herself as Ariana, a sophomore at Longwood High School, also invoked Zeldin during her remarks.

“Why should 15 year olds have to discuss the possibility of dying at the hands of a mass shooter?” she said. “Why should we be discussing dying in school, a place where we’re supposed to be safe and protected? And what can we expect from politicians like Lee Zeldin? Apparently only prayers and condolences. Congress is not taking the necessary steps to keep students like me and my friends safe — or the 5 year olds in kindergarten, or the 11 year olds in middle school. That’s why we are here. We cannot wait for the adults in Congress to continue to let the call the shots — Jake Angelo NRA when it comes to our safety. These politicians are not listening to us because we are supposedly too young to know what’s good for us, but apparently their silence is what’s best. Or perhaps the issue here is special interests and the money they receive is more important to them than our lives.”

Many of the parents of student speakers and participants in attendance expressed

“We are the hope for our country’s future — the generation of awareness, the generation of calling ‘B.S.’ andthe generation of change.

how proud they were of their children.

“It’s honestly the most proud that I’ve ever been of them,” said Kathy Podair, whose daughter Emma and friend Alyssa Anderson, Smithtown High School West students, were among the marchers. “I’ve raised them to be strong women and to speak out against things that are wrong and that need to change. To see them take that initiative and stand up, I feel like I did a good job. I’m very proud of them today.”

She called sending a student off to high school in today’s world “terrifying.”

“They had a lockdown drill last week,” she said. “We got an email from the superintendent in the morning letting us know that there will be an unannounced lockdown drill today, and they came home from school and told me they were in the choir room when it happened, in a room that doesn’t have a lock on the [glass] door, and they said, ‘We were sitting ducks if this was real.’ There were 150 kids in this room and they said, ‘There’s nowhere safe for us to hide.’”

Port Jefferson High School students Ben Zaltsman and Matt Pifko, who helped organize an indoor assembly that took place March 14 on the day a national walkout was scheduled, along with classmate

MARCH FOR OUR LIVES continued from page A4 Gavin Barrett, also spoke during the event.

The trio said they were inspired by the solidarity they felt from seeing so many of their peers in attendance. The students helped establish a station in the high school that will remain open at which their peers can get assistance in writing letters to elected representatives.

Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) and state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) were also among the attendees.

“It is amazing to see the passion, the dedication, the commitment of these students — no fear,” Hahn said. “It is wonderful. They are focused, they are determined,

they are smart and they’re getting things done already. And we need to follow their lead.”

A smaller group of counter-protesters stood across the street on Route 347 holding signs in support of the Second Amendment, with several Suffolk County Police Department officers and their cars positioned on the median to separate the two groups, though no violence and minimal interaction occurred.

A package of gun control bills passed the New York State Assembly in March and will require passage by the Republicanmajority state Senate before becoming law.

All of the students asked said they intend to vote in the next election, or the first one after their 18th birthday. Organizers from the various activist groups had a table set up during the march to help register attendees to vote.

PJ chamber, restaurants host first breakfast crawl

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Port Jefferson turned breakfast into a special occasion over the weekend.

Sponsored by the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce and Pro-Port Jefferson Association, an organization that works on behalf of the food service industry in the village, the first-ever Walkabout Spring Breakfast Crawl was a success on a number of levels. Fifteen establishments participated in the crawl March 24, offering special breakfast items and standing-room access during the threehour event. Initially 200 tickets were made available for the event, but they sold out so quickly it was opened up to 100 more guests, according to chamber director of operations Barbara Ransome. She called the event super and very well attended and added if the restaurants are interested, they would bring it back again next year and would likely offer more tickets.

“There was this camaraderie and fellowship among the different groups waving to each other and using their maps,” Ransome said. “I don’t think there was anybody disappointed.”

Tickets were sold for three different tiers, a $20 ticket that allowed access

to six of the participating stops, $30 for nine stops or $40 for access to all 15. The funds raised will go to Pro-Port Jefferson Association likely to be used for marketing, according to Ransome, except for a $500 donation being given to Port Jeff-based Welcome Friends Soup Kitchen.

“The event went very well,” doughnut shop East Main & Main owners Lisa Harris and Robert Strehle said in an email.

“We would definitely be interested in participating again.”

Some of the offerings included chorizo hash at Barito Tacos & Cocktails, French toast skillets and Bloody Marys at Brewology 295, triple crème-filled croissants and mimosas at C’est Cheese and many more.

Ransome said she heard feedback from some attendees who enjoyed being able to participate on what is essentially “offhours” for the various restaurants, thus not having to compete with typical restaurant business crowds or battle for parking.

Initially planned as a standing-room event, Ransome said many of the restaurants had space to allow sit-down meals, and that aspect might be revisited in future years. She also said she’s working on an analysis of which attendees patronized which restaurants based on their ticket choice to help improve future incarnations.

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) announced the arrest of a Brooklyn man March 27 who allegedly scammed approximately 30 businesses in Suffolk County into paying for fake fire extinguisher inspections.

“This individual was preying on small business owners who were trying to do the right thing and protect the safety of their employees,” Sini said. “This is not just a matter of bringing a scam artist to justice; it is a matter of ensuring that our small businesses are safe and in compliance with fire safety laws.”

Michael Castellano, 51, of Brooklyn, was arraigned in Suffolk County Court on charges of a first-degree scheme to defraud, a class-E felony; first-degree falsifying business records, a class-E felony; and petit larceny, a class-A misdemeanor. Bail was set at $5,000 cash or $20,000 bond.

Castellano allegedly fraudulently collected money from business owners for fire extinguisher inspections and falsified certificates of inspection under the business name Liberty Fire Extinguisher Sales Co. from as early as August 2017. He allegedly

charged businesses $20 per fire extinguisher and replaced the inspection tags without servicing the equipment. He allegedly collected approximately $1,050 from businesses located across Suffolk County.

Castellano targeted small businesses owned by immigrants, according to the DA’s office, many of whom speak English as a second language. Sini urged business owners to check their fire extinguishers for inspection tags issued by Liberty Fire Extinguisher Sales Co. “If you are a business owner in Suffolk County and you were a victim of Mr. Castellano’s scam, please contact the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office at 631-853-5602 or via email at InfoDA@suffolkcountyny.gov,” Sini said.

Castellano was arrested by Suffolk County police detectives assigned to the district attorney’s squad March 26. He is being represented by the Legal Aid Society of Suffolk County and is due back in court on March 30.

The case is being investigated by the district attorney’s office with assistance from the Suffolk County Fire Marshal’s Office. It is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Kevin Ward of the Enhanced Prosecution Bureau.

Sixth Precinct officers located Martin a short time later on Route 25, near South Coleman Road, in Centereach. Further investigation by Major Case Unit detectives determined Martin also allegedly robbed the location Jan. 1 at approximately 6:45 a.m. Martin, 21, was charged with two counts of firstdegree robbery and resisting arrest.

Many hands make light work.

Parents in the Port Jefferson School District fully embraced the axiom March 26 by officially chartering a special-education-specific Parent Teacher Association.

“I am a parent of a child with special needs,” said Leza DiBella, who was officially voted PJSD’s SEPTA presidentelect Monday night. “I’m also an attorney, and even as an attorney, the process of getting everything I need for my son and going through [Committees on Special Education], it’s overwhelming.”

DiBella, along with Karen Sullivan, another parent of a child with special needs in the district, and a handful of others have been working to get the organization off the ground and chartered by the Suffolk Region PTA since December. Sullivan was elected president at the meeting and will serve a two-year term, at which point DiBella will step in and a new president-elect will be chosen to learn for what will essentially be a two-year training period, pursuant to the bylaws voted upon by members March 26. The new SEPTA joins the Parent-TeacherStudent Association, which serves the middle and high school communities in Port Jeff, and the Parent Teacher Association, which oversees the elementary school.

“We have two other wonderful sister organizations, the PTA and the PTSA, but they have a lot on their plate to kind of focus on, so we just wanted another organization to really hone in and focus on special-education students,” Sullivan said. “The special-education students and parents get to have a bigger voice. We get to focus on advocacy for the children; we get to focus on different workshops and guest speakers — really just more creating support and advocacy for the needs of the special-education students and parents.”

To officially be chartered, the group needed at least 25 community members present at the meeting to vote on the nominated officers and bylaws, who were also willing to pay the $12 annual membership fee. Sullivan, DiBella and Superintendent Paul Casciano all said they weren’t sure what type of turnout to expect. There were 64 members registered Monday night.

“It’s fantastic,” Sullivan said. “It means that the community is really supportive. It means that the community wants it.”

DiBella chose a different word to sum up her feelings when she said, “Amazing.”

“It’s inspiring to be here,” she said. “I thought we have a really small community and it’s a small district. Some of our grades only have 60-plus kids in them. To see 64 paying members in this room was inspiring tonight.”

Linda Loverde, Suffolk Region PTA associate director, who conducted the business of the meeting, called the large initial membership sign-up “something to be proud of.”

“This is the greatest showing I’ve seen in quite a few years,” she said.

Casciano said he has high hopes for the future of the organization.

“Knowing some of the people — the officers and ... the membership — I think they’ll come up with some pretty creative things,” he said.

DiBella said the group’s mission first and foremost will be support for parents of children with special needs.

“As a parent it’s hard to know what to ask for, what your rights are, and we just wanted to help people get through the process and get their children everything they need,” she said. “There’s so much to learn and I draw on my legal background all the time. Without that, I don’t know how a parent could possibly do it on their own. I felt like as a district it would help other parents with providing information and guidance, and also we’re a support group for each other.”

Each petition must be directed to the District Clerk, must be signed by at least twentyfive (25) qualified voters of the District, must state the name and residence of the candidate, as well as the name and residence of each resident signing the petition. Because the election of Trustees is to be held on an “at large” basis, the nominating petitions shall not describe any specific vacancy upon the Board of Education for which the candidate is nominated; and FURTHER NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to § 2014 of the Education Law, personal registration of voters is required to

Port Jefferson School District

ZELDIN’S OFFICE PJSD

Zeldin receives Sea Grant award U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) was awarded the National Sea Grant Award March 7 by the Sea Grant Association, which advocates for a greater understanding, use, and conservation of marine, coastal and Great Lakes resources. Last year, Zeldin was joined by U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney (DConnecticut), pictured above with Zeldin, in spearheading the largest bipartisan appropriations request in the history of the Sea Grant Program with 95 total cosigners and secured full funding of $72.5 million for the Sea Grant Program for the 2018 fiscal year despite President Donald Trump’s proposed budget zeroing out the program.

“Representing a district almost completely surrounded by saltwater, funding to support our fishermen, our oyster growers, protect our beaches, and support marine

science research is essential for our local economy and environment,” Zeldin said.

“The Sea Grant Association plays a critical role in securing and providing this funding to the Long Islanders who rely on it most, and it is such an honor to receive this award from such a worthwhile organization.”

Leadership from New York Sea Grant thanked the congressman for his efforts.

“Last year, when the 2018 budget came out, Sea Grant was zeroed out,” said Director of New York Sea Grant, Stony Brook Professor and NY-1 constituent Bill Wise. “Congressman Zeldin stood up and said, ‘Not on my watch.’ He has continued to fight during this year’s budget, and it is because of champions like Congressman Zeldin that we are hopeful this critical funding will continue to be provided.”

SCOPE school district awards dinner Five individuals from the Port Jefferson School District community were honored with educational service awards at the 17th annual SCOPE school district awards dinner.

With the theme “Shining above the rest,” the recipients were honored in categories that recognized their leadership, fiscal responsibility, dedication and countless hours of service in improving the educational experiences of all Port Jefferson School District students.

The recipients who were honored,

pictured above from the left, are Dr. Mark Doyle, Port Jefferson School District board of education member for school board service; Maureen Griffin, Edna Louise Spear Elementary School principal’s secretary for support staff service; Elisa Scott, Parent Teacher Student Association treasurer for community service; Michel Krivosta, Earl L. Vandermeulen High School science teacher for teacher service; and Fred Koelbel, who is not pictured above, plant facilities administrator for administrator service.

Plunging with purpose

Steven Hernandez, 32, and Kurt Hall, 26, from Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson Station, participated for the first time in Northport Boy Scouts Troop 410’s polar plunge at Steers Beach March 18. Hall, who lives at Little Portion Friary in Mount Sinai, won best costume at the annual event.

Celebrating young authors Students at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School in the Port Jefferson School District shared their writings with their families, teachers, administrators and board of education members during a recent young authors celebration.

Students from kindergarten through fifth-grade had their published works available for reading and comments, and the many subjects they wrote about

were a clear indication of the school’s achievement in this academic discipline.

Following the celebration, many of the parents attended the board of education meeting where Claudia Smith, pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade assistant principal, conducted a presentation on the progress by students with the structured writing programs of Fundations and Columbia Teachers College Reading and Writing Project.

Royals fall to Hauppauge in season home opener If the Port Jefferson boys lacrosse team wants to wear a royal crown at the end of the season, it will have to work on possessing the ball long enough to create offensive opportunities.

“Where’s the offense?” assistant coach Jonathan Maletta said to his team during the break before the final quarter of an 11-5 loss at home to Hauppauge March 27. “We’re possessing the ball for 10 or 15 seconds, and then it’s gone.”

The Royals found their rhythm with three straight goals in the final 12 minutes, but the third scored by junior Jonathan Moshe from 20 yards out was the final of the game. He netted Port Jefferson’s first goal to tie the game 1-1 with 2:10 left in the first on a pass across the cage from freshman Gage Jampol, and scored his second to bring the score to 5-2 at the 6:37 mark of the third.

Freshman Daniel Koban swiveled around the cage and stuffed one in high for Port Jefferson’s third goal and sophomore Aidan Kaminska chipped in the Royals’ fourth.

“We didn’t have many opportunities,” head coach Taylor Forstell said. “We need to get better — improve as a team day by day.”

Goalie Connor Kaminska could only hold off the Eagles for so long. The senior goalkeeper made 11 of his gamehigh 16 saves in the second half, including back-to-back stops to start the third, doubling the amount of saves Hauppauge’s goalkeeper had to make.

Hauppauge’s Mark Homefeld and Riley Hensfelder became difficult for the Royals to contain as the game wore on. Homefeld had four goals and one assist, and Hensfelder added three. Timmy Grosso scored once and assisted on four.

Connor Kaminska and Jonathan Moshe, above, fight a Hauppauge opponent for the ball. Gage Jampol, on left, scoops up a ground ball while Daniel Koban gets tied up.

It’s back to the drawing board for the Royals before taking on Sayville on the road April 4 at 10 a.m.

“There was no flow,” Forstell said. “I feel we’re capable of more than what we showed today.”

Comsewogue baseball committed to improving

BY BILL LANDON Comsewogue baseball boasts fresh arms at the mound and will lean on its first baseman and shortstop to keep the Warriors contesting, but head coach Joe Caltagirone is liking the commitment he’s seeing across the board.

“They want to get better,” he said, noting C o m s ewo g u e ’ s 5-13 2017 record.

“These kids know they’ve got work to do, but they’re committed to it. They work hard even though we’re in the gym most of the time with this weather. It’s their work ethic.”

First baseman Joe Mancini has emerged as the senior to look to.

“He keeps the other guys in check,” Caltagirone said. “[He has] very good leadership qualities.”

He batted over .300 last season, and according to Caltagirone is one of the hardest workers on the team, demanding a lot from himself and expecting the same from his teammates.

“We’re more a team this year,” the Springfield College-bound senior said.

“Last year was tough — we lost a lot of games later in the season. We’ll have to be better at our situational hitting and our pitching in certain circumstances, but our fielding is really solid this year.”

The head coach agreed, noting his younger student-athletes’ strengths lie in

Senior first baseman Joe Mancini, above left, and Nick Lopez, on right, swing away during an indoor practice. hitting and fielding.

Pitching proves to have the shallowest depth for the Warriors, who graduated four of five starting pitchers, with the fifth sitting out this season with an elbow injury.

“We have eight seniors on the roster,” Caltagirone said. “But they didn’t get a lot of innings last year.”

Junior shortstop Nick Lopez, who according to his coach boasted a solid

glove and a compact left-handed swing as a sophomore, also said the situational hitting needs to improve.

“Last season we left a lot of runners on base,” he said. “We could’ve gotten the lead early, but couldn’t get the runners in and two or three of those games were close.”

Even with the majority of practices being indoors, Caltagirone said he expects his team to be competitive, even after a

loss in the first game of the season to Half Hollow Hills West, 18-5 March 26. The head coach said games against Hills West and Eastport-South Manor will be the most challenging for the Warriors this year.

Comsewogue moved up to League V this season. The Warriors’ March 27 game on the road at Deer Park was postponed to April 6. Comsewogue plays host to Eastport-South Manor April 2 at 10 a.m.

OPINION Editorial

Keep the wheels in motion The 1980s rock band White Lion said it best when they sang: “When the children cry let them know we tried, ’cause when the children sing then the new world begins.”

Children across the country ensured their cries were heard March 24 when millions of them took to the streets to call for implementation of stricter gun control laws as part of hundreds of March for Our Lives rallies. Now we have a challenge for them and the parents and grandparents who joined them — keep the momentum.

The rallies were inspired by the battle cries of students who survived the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. For centuries, protesting has been a popular way to get politicians to pay attention, but those rallying calls need to be followed by action in order to get things done. We surmise many if not most of the student marchers understand this is just beginning, like Avalon Fenster, one of the organizers of the March 24 rally in Huntington.

“In the long term, we want to get youth more civically involved, collaborating with elected officials to create legislation that makes our lives a priority,” Fenster said.

It’s something Port Jefferson High School students Ben Zaltsman, Matt Pifko and Gavin Barrett also get. These students helped establish a station in their high school where their peers can get assistance in writing letters to their representatives. Letter writing, emailing and calling the offices of elected officials is a vital process to let legislators know what their constituents want and need.

However, writing to a congressman is not the end of the line either if true change is the students’ goal. All the letters and phone calls in the world mean nothing if a person isn’t registered to vote.

The March for Our Lives website, www.marchforourlives.com, has set up a form to make it easier for voters to register. It’s a rite of passage and a civic responsibility when a teen turns 18. High school students who are heading off to college in the fall need to also familiarize themselves and their peers with the process of obtaining and submitting an absentee ballot. If you are registered to vote in Setauket but go to school at SUNY Cortland, unless you’re driving home on the morning of Nov. 6, an absentee ballot is your only option.

Simply showing up to fill out a ballot is not enough either. People of all ages need to ask themselves what matters most to them, and then see how their representatives in the U. S. Senate, House of Representatives and state positions vote on issues.

There’s one more step 18-year-old marchers need to keep on the table as well. If you feel you and your community are not being represented effectively by those in power, consider running for office, or at least help those who represent your interests get elected. That’s what 24-year-old Josh Lafazan did last November, and he became Nassau County’s youngest legislator. For a few political offices — including New York State senator and assemblyperson — the minimum age requirement is 18 years old. To serve in the federal government, you must be at least 25 years old.

Leslie Gibson, a Republican candidate for the Maine House of Representatives, is a living embodiment of what is possible. He recently dropped out of his race after receiving criticism for remarks he made on Twitter about Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, including calling Emma Gonzalez, who has been in the forefront of the movement, a “skinhead lesbian.” He had been running unopposed, but after he made the comment, challengers sprung up from both parties, including a 28-year-old Democrat who had never considered seeking political office before.

We’ve heard the children’s cries. Now the real work begins.

Letters to the editor

Unions are not the enemy In Father Francis Pizzarelli’s March 15 article in The Port Times Record entitled “Arming teachers and increasing police presence is not the answer,” he wrote, “We must be sure that [political candidates] are not connected or beholden to the insurance industry, the NRA, the unions, just to name a few powerful entities that seem to be indirectly controlling our nation and its policies.” In his 1993 book “Organized Labor and the Church,” Monsignor George G. Higgins wrote, “No one would ever dream of trying to stop doctors, lawyers and business executives from organizing. But in this country, resistance to the organization of workers happens all the time.”

I’m surprised by the good father’s characterization of unions in the same breath as the NRA and corporations. The unions, unlike these other entities, have a long and proven history of fighting for free universal public education, the eight-hour workday, minimum wage, decent salaries, health and life insurance, occupational safety and health in the workplace, disability benefits for those injured on the job, Social

Security, Medicare, Medicaid, child care leave, equal pay for equal work, unemployment benefits, secure pensions for retirees, G.I. Bill of Rights, and civil and human rights at home and around the world. Yes, unions do lobby for these items. They lobbied for President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s National Recovery Act, President Harry Truman’s desegregation of the military, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s desegregation of public schools, President Lyndon Johnson’s Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, and President Barack Obama’s attempt to guarantee health insurance for all.

Unions represent construction workers, farm workers, coal miners, police officers, firefighters, social workers, teachers and many other employees in the private and public sectors. No American institution has done more to improve the lives of working people and their families. Yes, unions do lobby elected officials not only on behalf of union members but also for nonunion members. Unions don’t organize on behalf of the wealthy and rich corporations who want to destroy them. Unions attempt to influence government on

behalf of the poor and middle class. I applaud the union’s attempt to provide balance in the economy.

The role of labor unions is to balance the scale which leans toward corporations. America was built not by monopolistic corporations but by the sweat and blood of workers. These workers needed to organize trade unions to protect themselves and families from exploitation by unscrupulous employers. The unions negotiate contracts which attempt to provide employees with a fair and equitable share of our nation’s economic abundance. Many unions in the private sector have been reduced to almost nonexistence. The rich and powerful convince workers to vote against their own self-interests. Once all the unions are gone, who will protect the American worker?

I praise and support the compassionate work of Fr. Pizzarelli. Who would feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, clothe the naked, and alleviate the drug and alcohol sickness?

But we need labor unions. They are not the enemy.

Students are again making a difference The March 24 March for Our Lives will be remembered most for the powerful voices and intensity of the students who marched and spoke out against great odds. They have begun a journey of activism that has the potential to permanently awaken a generation.

For those young people committed to that journey, I would like to propose a next step in their self-education. Read Dr. Martin Luther King’s 1964 book, “Why We Can’t Wait.”

The book is the history of the six-month struggle that led up to the March on Washington and Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. It includes the story of the major part played by brave young students who were the “foot soldiers” in that struggle.

Although 1963 was the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, African-Americans in parts of the American South still

lived in a virtual terrorist state, enforced both legally and illegally.

But a decade of events preceding the spring of 1963 had brought them a new sense of pride and determination, and a growing awareness by many American that things had to change.

America would not have had a march on Washington or Dr. King’s speech without the successful “Birmingham campaign” in April 1963. Dr. King’s decision to tackle “Bombingham,” the city regarded as the most segregated and most violent in the deep South, was a strategic and risky gamble. And a key element of its success was the courage and discipline of thousands of high school and younger students who studied, trained and pledged themselves to nonviolent direct action.

These brave students stood up against police, police dogs,

fire hoses, beatings and arrest to fill the jails of Birmingham to overflowing. Television brought this shocking struggle into the living rooms of America for the first time and virtually shamed Americans in front of the rest of the world.

“Why We Can’t Wait” is an incredible firsthand narrative which nails down a turning point in history that paved the way for the many liberation movements that have followed.

But it is also a primer on the power of nonviolent activism combined with the determination of courageous young people. That combination, God willing, may once again be moving this nation further toward the ultimate dream of America’s founders: “Justice for all.” Bravo.

OPINION

Voting with our wallets against toxic messages

W

e’ve reached a period of outrageous outrageousness.

Or maybe extremes of extremism.

I read recently about an advertisement by a beer company that seems overtly racist.

Now, I’m not going to name the company because that might accomplish what it could have been attempting in the first place, which is to get its brand name in front of people.

This company has caused quite a stir by linking the color of beer

By Daniel Dunaief to its quality, which in turn is linked to race in the ad.

What’s happening in the country?

Have we reached the stage where all news is good news?

We live in a world of such polarization, so many shrill messages and

D. None of the above

such a rapid news cycle that you almost have to be outrageous and ridiculous to get attention and to remain in the public’s eye for more than just a moment.

It’s not an unprecedented phenomenon. Borrowing from the fictional world, poor Roxie Hart from the show “Chicago” is “the name on everyone’s lips,” as the song goes. But then, once the gripping trial ends, the newest crime of passion captivates the city’s attention, relegating Roxie to a less prominent place in the dramas of the Windy City.

In our real world, which sometimes seems to require a reality check, people doubt everything. Why, just the other year, the current president questioned the national origin of the previous one.

Doubt and cynicism are all by-products of a shrill time where people shout alternative facts from the rooftops.

And to bring matters up to speed, current politicians are questioning the motives of the Parkland shooting survivors. Some suggest

that left-leaning people who want to take away everyone’s guns are manipulating America’s youth. These students are not too young to die, but are somehow considered too young to have formed such an energized national movement.

Are people becoming more extreme with their time, with their emotions and with their donations?

Yes, without a doubt. As the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates suggested, “desperate times call for desperate measures.” He was describing the response to life-threatening diseases and not to people who feel their lives are threatened leaving their homes.

As Long Island native Billy Joel sang in 1989, “we didn’t start the fire.” While that’s true, and people have lived through periods of considerable instability and uncertainty, we are living in a time defined by extremes.

At some point, We the People have to decide what we can accept and what we can’t. That beer advertisement seems to be a cheap ploy put together by a cynical advertising

executive, who has now pulled the ad after it may have served its purpose.

Maybe this executive got his or her wish and more. Not only are people talking about it, but the company may also not have to pay as much for the ad, because now they’re not running it anymore.

How do we combat such unacceptable messages and decide when a company has crossed the red line?

One possible solution is to follow the example of the United States government. When other countries create intolerable situations for their citizens or our citizens or the world, we start by hitting these nations in their wallets and refuse to buy their products.

Maybe a decline in sales at a company would send the kind of message that defeats the notion that all press is good press. Other cynical executives might get the message if the stock price or sales fell after such an advertisement polluted the company’s image. With our consumer decisions, we can send messages that it’s not OK to be offensive and outrageous just to sell another product or a toxic idea.

his year the real March Madness wasn’t basketball. It was the number of nor’easters we in the Northeast endured. This will forever be the year of the nor’easters, one right after the other with snowfalls, flooding and especially the high winds. Many old trees are no longer with us. As the first quarter of the new year ends, we are hopeful that the old adage, “March in like a

We have some exciting plans for the community that we believe will further enliven the next quarter of the

year. On June 12, TBR News Media — that’s us — will offer a new event. It is called Cooks, Books & Corks, and it will be held at the Bates House in Setauket. For those who might not know the location, it is that lovely house inside Frank Melville Park, near the Mill Pond, usually used for wedding receptions, and it can be reached via a driveway opposite the Emma Clark Library and just past the two entrance roads to Strong’s Neck. We will have balloons and signage marking the way.

So what is Cooks, Books & Corks? It is to be a grand marriage of mind and body on a joyful June Tuesday evening, from 6 to 9 p.m., that will combine good food from local restaurants with good books by local authors, all of which will go down easily with some good wine. We are encouraging the restaurateurs to bring tastings of their favorite dishes and the authors to offer their books for sale throughout the event. The views from the bluestone patio and the picture window are beautiful and serene in the middle

of the woods, and we will hope for a soft, summer breeze to erase all memories of past nor’easters.

Besides being just plain fun and a forum for our local restaurants, local wineries and celebrated authors, Cooks, Books & Corks is a fundraiser intended to pay for an intern from the Stony Brook University School of Journalism this summer. We have held such fundraisers for that purpose in the past, and the internships have helped launch several young journalists into their careers. Tickets will be $50 per person for the food and wine, and although not tax deductible, all funds will go toward paying the intern. The cost of any books you might choose to buy will be up to you. We hope there will be irresistible books for children offered for sale as well as for us adults.

Further, a ticket to Cooks, Books & Corks will enable the purchaser to have a reserved seat at the Stony Brook premiere of our film, “One Life to Give,” to be held on June 24, a

Sunday evening. The film is a prequel of sorts to the story of the Culper Spy Ring that played a vital role in the Revolutionary War. Headquartered in Setauket, Washington’s spies fed critical intelligence to the Patriots of such high value that, in one instance, information enabled French soldiers to disembark safely from their ships and join the fight in the colonies. The cable channel, AMC, ran popular stories of the spies, “Turn: Washington’s Spies,” for four seasons, which ended last year. Our full-length film, by contrast, endeavors to be historically authentic.

More details about the premiere will be forthcoming. I do want to give you this heads-up for the coming enjoyable events we have planned for the community. We think they will make you proud of where you live.

And why do we do this? That’s easy.

We’re committed to strengthening the sense of community because we are the community paper. And website.

And social media. And now producers of historical films. Happy Spring!
