Smithtown town board is looking to purchase the administration building from the district.

Town awaits school action for sale of New York Ave. administration building By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com The Smithtown town board is ready to move ahead on a proposed deal with the Smithtown district to buy its administration building on New York Avenue and surrounding property and turn it into a downtown central park with municipal offices. Members of the school board, however, are not quite there yet. Councilman Tom McCarthy (R) said at the June 22 town board meeting an appraisal of the property had been sent to the school board for review and the town board was still waiting for a response. The two boards will meet to start a negotiation process whenever the school is ready, he told residents. “We’re willing to meet as soon as possible,” McCarthy said. It was McCarthy who proposed the town purchase the property to boost Smithtown’s downtown revitalization efforts. The plan is to consolidate the school building and outlier town buildings into one centralized location and turn the six acres of grass on the site into a park. The proposal came after a contract between the school and Southern Land Company to build a large apartment complex on the site ultimately fell apart after public protest.

When the town board voiced their opposition to that deal, the school board took issue, claiming town board members encouraged their pursuit of apartments before hostility among residents occurred. Two weeks after confirming they received the appraisal, school board members have yet to contact the town. They did not give any public update at their June 27 meeting. “Relations have been strained between the two boards since the whole process started last year and the hope is that both parties do what’s best for the community and, for this deal to work, we do need everybody’s best going forward,” Smithtown resident Bob Hughes, of the civics New York Avenue Group and Smithtown United, said to the town board. Hughes said after the meeting he would like his civic groups to be involved in the planning process of the project, even offering to act “as an intermediary between the town and school boards to help them find common ground” to help move it forward. “We want what’s good for the school and what’s good for the town,” McCarthy said. “It’s all the same tax-base, so let’s take care of the same tax-base together. We, the town and school district, need to work together for the residents of Smithtown that have paid for the facility.”

town Meet the valedictorians and salutatorians of the Smithtown area By Victoria espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Students at Kings Park, Hauppauge, and Smithtown school districts put in strong efforts this year to come out at the top of their classes. The valedictorian and salutatorian at Kings Park and Hauppauge, and the honored speakers at Smithtown High School East and West shared a little about themselves so the community can get to know them better.

Kings Park

Salutatorian: Joseph Ribaudo Ribaudo will be graduating with a cumulative weighted average of 105.89. He participated in Model UN, varsity golf, Science Olympiad, math team, National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, trivia team and the business club DECA. He only recently joined the DECA program this year and qualified to go to the international competition in Anaheim, California. He also excelled at regional and national science competitions. Ribaudo received the National Hispanic Scholar award, which is given to the top 2000 Hispanics in the nation. He also teaches religion twice a week at St. Joseph’s parish. Ribaudo will be attending Yale next year, double majoring in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology and economics. Valedictorian: Anjali Verma Verma will be graduating with a cumulative weighted average of 105.98. She serves as president of Science Olympiad, student leader of the Kings Park Chamber Orchestra, vice-president of Model U.N. and vice-president of the Independent Science Research Club. She is a three-season athlete participating in the cross-country, winter track, and spring track teams. For the past year, Anjali conducted research under the mentorship of Dr. James Dilger, volunteering in his lab to investigate a safer alternative to opioid pain

medications. She has been recognized as a Coca-Cola Scholar, a National Merit Scholar, a Presidential Scholars Program nominee, and was a 3rd place finalist at the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair in the computational biology category. Anjali will be attending Columbia University next year, majoring in mechanical engineering.

Hauppauge

Salutatorian: Rachel Black, 18 Black will be attending the University of Notre Dame to study mathematics with a concentration in life sciences. Selecting her favorite high school memory is difficult, because there have been so many. She was fortunate to go on the German Exchange trip her sophomore year, and said that it was a blast and she learned so much. Also her freshmen year she ran her last race of the season in crosscountry and became an all county runner. But there are so many, even small moments like bonding as a class, or joking around at extra help, she doesn’t think she could say what her single favorite high school memory was. There are so many things she is excited about for college. She is super excited to be able to focus more intently on one area of study, as well as participating in the service events, club teams and ministry Notre Dame has to offer. She is going to miss the people in her high school the most. Black will miss her friends and teachers, coaches, and advisors. She will also miss all her sports teams and being a part of the clubs she was involved in. She said Hauppauge High School was her second home and she will really miss it. Black was involved in student council and served as president, treasurer of the school’s National Honor Society and German Honor Society, co-president of Science Olympiad , member of Natural Helpers, and participated in cross-country, winter track and spring track as captain. Valedictorian: Angela Musco, 18 Musco will be attending Stony Brook University in the fall. She will be in the Honors College as well as the Scholars for Medicine Program (8 year medical program). She plans to major in biology with a focus in neurobiology, as well as minor in Spanish.

As president of Interact Club (a community service club), she helped organize Safe Halloween, an annual event to allow children to trick-or-treat and play games safely. This is one of her favorite memories because she said she likes working with the children. She is most excited to meet more people and make new friends at college. Musco said she is also excited to live on her own and be more independent; she is looking forward to being exposed to new ideas and starting her journey towards her career in medicine. She will miss seeing her best friends every single day. While in high school she was a member of National Honor Society, vice president of Spanish Honor Society, president of Interact Club, vice president of the student body, treasurer of debate club and more.

Smithtown West

Honored speaker: Cory Zhou, 17 Zhou will be attending Yale University to study biomedical engineering or economics. His favorite high school memory is staying overnight every year at Relay for Life. He said it’s an incredible event that raises a ton of money for the American Cancer Society, and to be a part of it with his friends was so rewarding and fun. Zhou is most excited to be able to meet so many new people and form more lifelong friendships, as well as gain more independence to explore many new academic and extracurricular interests. He said he is going to miss the people at Smithtown West the most. All the teachers he had were so incredibly passionate, and he said he developed real relationships with each one. His amazing friends have been through so much with him; the best times he has had were the ones spent with them, and he said it’s going to be so hard not having them with him every day. In high school, he was involved in Academic Quiz Bowl, Science Olympiad, math team, DECA, Freshman Kickstart Mentoring, varsity badminton, symphonic band, and several honor societies.

Smithtown East

Honored speaker: Kyle DiPietrantonio, 18 DiPietrantonio will attend George Washington University double majoring in international affairs and Spanish. His favorite high school memory would be attending DECA’s International Career Development Conference in Anaheim this past April. He said it was an amazing time spent with his teachers and friends. As this year’s co-president for Smithtown East, it was an excellent and full-circle way to end his DECA experiences. Aside from competing, some highlights included bonding with his peers, watching the sunrise, and visiting Universal Studios with 19,000 other DECA members from around the world. He is most excited about being in the vibrant city of Washington D.C. and in a new environment. He is also excited to meet new people from all walks of life and expand his perspective. DiPietrantonio will miss a tremendous amount about his school, especially the unforgettable people he was fortunate enough to cross paths with and all of the memories they shared. He said Smithtown has always been so supportive of him and has given him a solid base to succeed in his future. He is leaving high school knowing he genuinely took advantage of every opportunity, from intriguing clubs and classes, and even several trips abroad. DiPietrantonio was very involved in his high school’s extracurriculars. This year, he was the co-president of DECA as well as the vice president of Suffolk County DECA. Additionally, he was the co-president of the Spanish Honor Society and the co-president and captain of the Academic Quiz Bowl team. He was also part of the Smithtown Industry Advisory Board as a member of the international business committee. He was an active member in the leadership class the past two years where he led the Friends Dance committee that supported students with autism at the Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism. Finally he was involved as a member in the National, Social Studies, Business, Math, and DECA honor societies.

Blood Center declares blood emergency in New York By Victoria espinoza Victoria@tBrnewspapers.com There is officially a blood emergency in the New York metropolitan region. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) announced this week the New York Blood Center declared the significantly low levels emergent and urged residents to donate. “There are hundreds, if not thousands of people waiting for a life-saving blood transfusion that could be the difference between life and death,” Bellone said in a statement.

“I encourage all New Yorkers to give the gift of life by visiting a local blood donation center and help someone in need.” The county executive highlighted multiple summer blood drives, with six to be held across Suffolk County so that residents can attend a convenient location in or near their community. Andrea Cefarelli, executive director of NYBC said it’s imperative that residents tell friends and family about local blood drives to help get more donors at the door. “By spreading the word or even host-

ing your own blood drive, inviting friends, family, and community organizations, you may save lives in your community,” she said in a statement. “We are in dire need of O negative blood with a reserve that is currently below a two day supply, and that is just too low.” Suffolk County Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) urged her constituents to donate. “As a nurse for many years and as person who has been personally affected by the need for donated blood I applaud County

Executive Steve Bellone for this press conference to shed light on this blood emergency,” she said. “I continue to do my part by hosting blood drives throughout my legislative district and would ask all my colleague Suffolk County Legislators to follow suit.” Other blood drives in the Smithtown area include the Cactus Salon in Smithtown Friday, July 14 from 2 to 7 p.m., and at the Hauppauge Fire Department Thursday, July 20 from 2 to 8 p.m. Check for an upcoming blood drive near you at www.redcrossblood.org/give/drive.

Town

Brookhaven Town web servers hacked by pro-ISIS group by Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com A pro-ISIS group successfully hacked the Brookhaven Town web servers for at least three hours Sunday, June 25. Brookhaven was one of 76 municipalities affected by the hack, Page A34 according to Deputy Supervisor Dan Panico (R-Manorville). The anti-American group created a page with hateful propaganda against the USA and the president of the United States. Panico and Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) addressed the incident during a press conference at Town Hall June 26. The group, called Team System DZ created a link using the Brookhaven Town servers to a static, look-alike webpage at the address http:// www.brookhavenny.gov/index.html, and posted it on the group’s Facebook page with the message “Government sites continue to be fondled,” in Arabic, according to Google Translate. The standard www.brookhavenny. gov website was not impacted and the propaganda page was not visible anywhere on the site, though “out of an abundance of caution,” the town server has been quarantined and the town webpage was taken down. The website was restored as of Tuesday afternoon. The propaganda page has been taken down and currently lists an error message.

brookhaven Councilman Dan Panico and supervisor ed romaine address a hack of town servers during a press conference June 26. “You will be held accountable Trump, you and all your people for every drop of blood flowing in Muslim countries,” the message read in part. Panico said he was alerted about the issue after a town employee notified the town’s information technology department about the breach after reading a New York Post story published at about 1:30 p.m. with information about the Facebook post by the group. Panico was asked if it was concerning the town was alerted by media reports rather than its own security defenses. “It was a Sunday, and I don’t know anyone in our IT department that checks ISISrelated Facebook pages,” he said. “We’re pretty thorough here at the town, but I don’t

know that our IT department combs the pages of those people who hate America.” Romaine said officials from a Suffolk County cybercrimes unit were speaking with the town’s IT director while the press conference was going on, and the FBI with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security would assist in investigating the breach. Romaine added U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (RShirley) offered full assistance of federal investigative personnel to get to the bottom of the incident, and the supervisor had also been in contact with the office of U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Monday. “It’s disconcerting and we don’t write it off as a prank,” Romaine said during the press conference. “We take threats like

this, cyber threats, seriously.” Panico said no information was extracted from the website or servers, and possible actions to prevent future breaches are part of the investigation. He also said it is unclear how long the servers were infiltrated by the hackers. Panico disputed claims the message was posted on the town website’s home page. Romaine said this was the first time the town had suffered a breach like this. “None of our records that we know of were breached,” Panico said, adding that the town’s financial information is stored on the cloud off-site on different servers. Zeldin addressed the hack in an emailed statement through spokeswoman Jennifer DiSiena. “I will continue to do anything in my power to improve cyber security and protect against other threats facing our nation at home and abroad,” he said. Marisa Kaufman, a spokeswoman from Schumer’s office, said in an email they have been in contact with Brookhaven about the issue and are looking into the matter. Schumer sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly urging him to launch an immediate investigation into the incident. “The possibility that these breaches were done by an ISIS or terror-affiliated organization is especially troublesome; citizens deserve to feel like their everyday critical infrastructure, especially their local government’s website, is safe and usable,” the letter said.

Clockwise from left, Elwood-John Glenn’s damien Caffrey jets up the field; Ward Melville’s John Corpac makes a one-handed grab and scampers into the end zone; and Ward Melville’s Eddie Munoz makes a stop during Ward Melville’s first showing in the Empire Challenge football game.

Local athletes take part in Empire Challenge all-star football game By Bill landon A late Long Island-hit drew a penalty, leaving New York City with an even bigger advantage with two seconds left on the clock in the 22nd annual Empire Challenge football game. Monsignor Farrell kicker Paul Inzerillo tried to draw Long Island offside without success but, just ahead of a delay of game flag, sent the ball flying as the clock ran down to zero, and nailed the 32-yard field goal attempt to snatch a NYC victory, 37-35, from Long Island. The June 21 loss marks the second year in a row Long Island lost in dramatic fashion at Hofstra University’s Shuart Stadium. “That penalty hurt us,” Elwood John Glenn wide receiver Damien Caffrey said. “But to play in this game is a dream come true.” A Long Island interception led to NYC’s first touchdown of the game, with four minutes left in the opening quarter. But Ward Melville senior John Corpac received a pass from Long Island quarterback Aaron Ruthman, of Elmont, and bolted down the right sideline for the touchdown. Christian Carrick, of New Hyde Park, added the extra point to tie the game, 7-7. NYC took the lead with the team’s second touchdown of the game, but the kick failed and left Long Island with a chance to pull ahead. Ward Melville wide receiver Dominic Pryor, already looking comfortable on his new field — where he will play, instead, lacrosse next year — was found twice for big yardage. The first connection was for 18 yards to NYC’s 40-yard line and the second, was for 28 yards

New York City 37 Long Island 35

to the 5. Two plays later, Farmingdale running back Jordan McLune took advantage of that opportunity by capping of a six-play, 58-yard drive, and Carrick’s kick gave Long Island the lead, 14-13, with 7:14 left in the first half. Unfortunately, the lead was short-lived as NYC scored another touchdown, but the twopoint conversion play failed. “It’s tough to come out and play football in June, but I was so motivated to come out here and play with such great athletes, and play my hardest,” Pryor said. “[NYC is] just a hard-nosed team with great athletes.” It looked like a Ward Melville football game from there on out, though, as Pryor, who caught five passes for 89 and two touchdowns, scored his first on a 24-yard pass from Ruthman on fourth and 7, making it 21-19 Long Island at halftime. Pryor got the call again on the next score, as the Ruthman-Pryor tag team connected on a 17-yard pass. Carrick’s kick lifted Long Island to a 28-19 advantage. “[This game] it’s just something that I’m blessed to be in,” Pryor said. “It’s a great event with everything that it stands for, and I’m glad to be a part of it.” Before Wednesday’s game, no Patriot had played in the Empire Challenge. With cornerback Eddie Munoz also on the field, it put not two, but three Patriots in the Empire Challenge for the first time. But New York, held to 17 yards in the second half until midway through the fourth quarter, exploded for a five-play, 75-yard drive that was capped by a 45-yard touchdown from Christian Anderson to Seba Nekhet. The PAT made it 28-26 Long Island with seven minutes left in regulation. NYC’s defense forced Long Island to punt from deep

in its own end and the city took advantage of the favorable field position to score on Siddiq Muhamad’s 12-yard run. The special team completed a two-point conversion that brought the score to 34-28, NYC. Corpac continued the strong Ward Melville showing as he handled another punt return 83 yards, going coast to coast to tie the game. “I was telling my teammates on the sidelines, ‘I gotta take this one back,’” Corpac said. “’I got to do it.’ And sure enough, I saw the hole and I took it.” Carrick, who was perfect on the evening, put Long Island ahead, 35-34, with 2:44 left in the final quarter.

NYC threw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock, and got a gift when Long Island was flagged for a late hit. The 15-yard penalty brought NYC to Long Island’s 22-yard line. “I was scared leading by a point with eight seconds left,” Caffrey said. “It was pretty crazy, because their offense is really good. They brought it to a whole new level.” Corpac, who is bound for Stony Brook University’s football team in the fall, echoed his longtime teammate’s sentiment of the significance of the Empire Challenge. “It’s a great honor [to play in this game],” he said. “It’s the best way I could ask to end my high school football career.”

Letters to the editor

A plea for residents to get involved in local elections

Image from Facebook

An ISIS-inspired Facebook page posted a link to an anti-American propaganda page created using Brookhaven Town servers June 25.

Fear not and carry on While the week started off with panic in Brookhaven Town, at the Times Beacon Record News Media office, we quickly got back to business. The scene here Monday morning was probably similar to what occurred at many offices in Brookhaven and beyond. There were various conversations about the hacking of the town’s web server by a pro-ISIS group, and a common thread in the majority of the discussions was that no one could believe a terrorist group, or anyone supportive of them, would know the town even existed. Of course a few of us admitted to being a bit nervous, but we went on reporting, advertising reps continued to sell and our receptionist still answered the phone. It’s what most Americans have done since Sept. 11, 2001. We are more aware than ever that terrorists exist, and our country is not immune to their threats. But we stay vigilant, we report suspicious activity and continue to go about our day. Brookhaven was just one of 76 municipalities across the United States affected by the hack. No information was extracted from the servers, according to town officials, so it would seem the hack was nothing more than an attempt to strike fear into residents. The hack now seems symbolic more so than substantive. Yes, attacks, whether physical or viral, are unsettling, but we as Americans can’t live in fear. If we gave into that fear, we wouldn’t have wonderful events like the graduation ceremonies featured in our six newspapers — ceremonies that are filled with young adults who grew up well aware of terrorist attacks and wars, but who still dream big about the future. Deputy Supervisor Dan Panico (R-Manorville) said part of future investigations will be researching how to prevent breaches, which we obviously commend and hope is accomplished. If a hacking of a town’s website was an attempt to scare us, it didn’t work.

I love my country and my community. It is for this reason that I along with a dedicated and committed group of citizens have launched the campaign for Huntington Town supervisor. Our path has been fraught with a great many obstacles and challenges, yet our resolve has never been stronger, because we appreciate what is at stake: representative government. Be assured, this is not a melodramatic statement, but rather a warning. On May 25, the Huntington Democratic Committee (of which I am a proud member of the executive committee) held a designation convention for supervisor and council. Only committee members can participate in this process and the vote is done publicly. To be clear, if you are not a member of the committee despite being a Democrat and resident in the Town of Huntington, you cannot participate in this process. A significant number of the committee people work for the town, have interests with town business and are related to the candidates. Tracey Edwards, Mark Cuthbertson and Emily Rogan gained overwhelming support from the committee. Many people have mistakenly assumed from the conclusion of this process that the designated candidates were the nominees. This is wrong.

licans and Democrats voted for Trump in a deeply divisive election. Many voted for Trump because they have come to feel that the political establishment no longer represents the constituents. The people at every level have come to believe that their representatives no longer represent them. The above time line demonstrates why people legitimately feel this frustration. This leads to low voter turn out and recently to the rise of Trump. Since the election, the national political scene has been dominated by scandal, intrigue and chaos. These are symptoms of a sick republic and the only remedy is for YOU the people to become involved. Some will read this letter and object to its points. Others will read it and rationalize the status quo. Regardless of how you may feel, I implore you to get involved: join Tracey’s campaign, Chad’s campaign, join our campaign! Learn for yourself. I also plead and demand that the primary be allowed to happen. Only through your engagement and the unhindered democratic process, including a primary, can we preserve our government of, for and by the people.

Residents need to lend a hand in water quality

As we enter into the summer months and enjoy the waterways that we’re blessed to have here in Suffolk County, the quality of our water comes to the forefront of our awareness. Year after year we are faced with the consequences of nitrogen pollution in our waterways that come in the form of various strains of harmful and toxic algae such as brown tide and red tide. As a result, our salt marshes that serve as fish habitat are depleted, oxygen levels are suppressed causing fish kills, shellfish populations are reduced and our beaches close to protect public health. Reversing these trends and cleaning up our waters is a top priority of mine and my colleagues in Suffolk County. We have made tremendous progWe welcome your letters.

Letters …

It must be understood we have a representative government, which states clearly the people shall determine who the candidates are and ultimately elect those individuals to office. Committees do not decide elections. On June 6, all candidates committed to running for office despite the outcome of the designating convention were permitted to begin the petition collection process. Our campaign has worked tirelessly since then to acquire the needed number of signatures (of Democratic Huntington residents) to get on the ballot. One thousand signatures are required; however, we realize we will need twice that number in anticipation of petition challenges. On July 12, the petitions will be due to the Board of Elections. We are working hard to acquire 3,000 signatures, because our opponents are committed to stopping the primary. Prediction: The establishment with all its power, resources and money will seek to crush the growing movement, by challenging our petitions, and ultimately knocking us off the ballot: Tracey Edwards becomes the chosen candidate and there is no primary in September. On Nov. 8, 2016, Donald Trump (R) was elected the 45th president of the United States. Both Repub-

of us that will require multiple stakeholders working together on all fronts. In 2013, I worked closely with Northport Village Trustees to help identify funding for the upgrades to their failing sewage treatment plant. The upgrades resulted in a massive reduction in the plant’s nitrogen discharge, which has produced tangible outcomes including the absence of red tide in the Northport Harbor and the reopening of Centerport Beach to bathers after being closed for 7 years. Sewers for our downtown centers are part of the solution, but we also have to address the major contributor to nitrogen pollution caused by the 360,000 homes in Suffolk County utilizing cesspools for their wastewater. Toward that effort, the Suf-

folk County Legislature has laid the groundwork with the recent unanimous approval of a $10 million grant program to assist homeowners in paying for the innovative systems. Beginning July 1, applications for homeowners will be available electronically. Visit http://reclaimourwater. info/ for more information. With a love for our beaches, bays and harbors, I am confident that through collaborative efforts we will overcome this issue that has plagued us for decades and reclaim our water for future generations to come.

OpiniOn ‘Tis the season for wallowing in nostalgia

aves of nostalgia can hit at any time. They tend to wash ashore more frequently in between graduations with their “look back, look forward” speeches and weddings. During these transition phases, we recall the days gone by, whether we’re suddenly comparing a memory from a few years to a decade or more earlier. We watch our children stretch out surprisingly long arms to take By Daniel Dunaief a diploma and shake the hand of a school official, recalling how those hands used to reach up high to grab ours as we crossed the street.

D. None of the above

We listen to their confident voices as they share detailed, measured and elaborate opinions about politics, sports, social issues or music. At the same time, we replay the high voices in our heads when they shared thoughts that weren’t so complex, as in “Jimmy Neutron is the best.” When my wife and I walk around town, we frequently stop outside Tball baseball games, where we soak in the figurative nostalgia bathtub. Johnny swings at seven pitches before he finally dribbles a ball foul. The exhausted coach encourages Johnny to “run, run, run!” Once the boy reaches first base, a small smile fills a round face that will get longer and leaner in the days ahead, until he reaches the stage where he rolls his eyes when people around him speak of sports because he and his razor stubble have tuned into the world of guitars and rock bands. For some high school graduates,

home has become a launchpad, where the NASA countdown to lift off for college will thrust them to a new location. And then there are the brides and grooms, whose parents may recall their own weddings even as they smile at the way their children are planning to have people on stilts passing out hors d’oeuvres. The reason no one else thought of it, we think, is because it seems impractical, even though we don’t say that because we don’t want to rain on our children’s parade. The parents of the bride and groom may remember the people who surrounded them at their wedding, from family members to important friends. Parents may have spent extra time searching through alumni directories or online listings to find the addresses of some of those important friends they haven’t seen in decades to invite them to another can’t-miss wedding.

Parents may stare at their children and recall the long journey from the cooties and a fear fascination with love and romance, to this moment when their child plans to travel the rest of his or her life with this marital partner. What good does nostalgia do? It offers an opportunity to reflect on the past, while overlaying memories with current experiences. While we’re dancing to music we heard years ago, maybe at our own weddings or on an early date with a future spouse, we may close our eyes and reconnect with the younger version of ourselves. We remember who we were and who we wanted to be. We may laugh, realizing how far we have to go, or boost our resolve as we observe the changes in ourselves and others around us that encourage us to believe that anything, improbable or difficult though it may seem, is still possible.

Our Independence Day values conquer all

s we are filming “One Life to Give,” the Battle of Long Island, which took place at the beginning of our Revolutionary War in 1776, and the dramatic story of Nathan Hale, ISIS has come knocking on Brookhaven’s door in 2017. What? You may say, ISIS from the faraway lands of Syria and Afghanistan, those violently troubled, wartorn places in the Middle East reaching out to our serene little township? So it seems. This past Sunday, an extra page was found to be on the By Leah S. Dunaief official town site. This page, from a group called Team System Dz, conveyed some unpleasant pro-ISIS thoughts through Facebook and, according to Brookhaven, not directly from the town website. Why are we on the group’s radar?

Between you and me

Who knows? But they have been sending messages like the one we received here throughout the country to 76 municipalities all told, according to town Councilman Dan Panico. Along with these assaults, similar messages were found on several Ohio government websites, including that of Gov. John Kasich. This particular group has hacked into many government websites around the world in recent years, according to a story in Newsday. As we know, these terrorist groups are looking to spread fear, and the internet enables them to reach across the globe even as their physically occupied territory shrinks from allied military efforts to defeat them. Homeland Security officials are actively investigating the event, but for us the timing is particularly meaningful. Here we are, filming the story of the birth of our nation, some 240 years ago, and realizing most meaningfully the values and freedoms under which we live. Those we hail as Patriots gave their lives and fortunes, in some cases, so that these inalienable rights of our society might come down through the centuries to us. We don’t live in fear of being gassed or dismembered

by our government. We have the right to criticize our leaders without disappearing. We live under the rule of a Constitution that was forged in democracy, and none of these facts are lost on us as we film the events and the people who made it happen more than two centuries ago. Approaching July Fourth, we are profoundly grateful for our nation, warts and all. As we covered the story of the town’s hacked website, we needed to decide how to run the article in our papers. We briefly considered putting the ISIS event on the front page, then immediately chose instead to lead with one of the values that make us who we are: our educational system. As you can see, we have given prominence to graduations. We are the hometown papers and we prize our students and their accomplishments. We wouldn’t dream of destroying schools and slaughtering teachers. Our educational system makes democracy possible, and that is what totalitarian regimes fear. Our residents know how to read and write and, we sincerely hope, tell propaganda from real news. From the battlefield of Long
