School budget watch

By Kevin Redding Kevin@tbrnewspapers.com School officials in Shoreham-Wading River, Rocky Point, Miller Place and Mount Sinai have proposed budgets that maintain and enhance programs and slightly increase taxes, all while operating within the state tax cap.

Shoreham-Wading River

Shoreham-Wading River proposes a $74, 842,792 budget for the 2017-18 school year, which is a $2.2 million, or 3 percent increase from the current year’s budget.

Under the budget, a pilot 1:1 Chromebook initiative at the sixth-grade level will be implemented, as well as a new math program at the elementary level.

Eleven new, minimal-cost clubs among the three schools, including Pep Band, Robotics, Science Club and a debate team were added.

To maintain facilities and fund capital improvements, the district is asking taxpayers to vote on a proposition to establish a 10-year capital reserve fund not to exceed $7.5 million.

If approved, this money will fund Americans with Disabilities Act features, athletic fields, bleachers, auditoriums, ceilings, computers, energy management systems and gymnasi-

ums, among other projects.

The district will receive an additional 3.02 percent, or $330,891 in state aid from last year.

While the budget projects a tax levy increase of 4.6951 percent, this does not necessarily mean a resident’s tax bill will increase by that percent. According to the district, “your personal tax bill depends upon more factors than the change in the district’s tax levy.” This includes changes in a homeowner’s assessed value and changes in the apportionment between Brookhaven and Riverhead.

Voting will be May 16 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Shoreham-Wading River High School.

Rocky Point

Rocky Point’s proposed budget for 2017-18 is tax capcompliant and maintains educational and co-curricular programs while providing enhancements.

The proposed budget is $83,286,346, which is a 3.30 percent or $2,662,703 increase from last year’s.

Under it, there is a 3.21 percent tax levy increase, jumping to $49,629,259 from last year’s $48,084,714. The district will see a 2.78 percent increase in state aid.

A total of $3,385,965 in capital reserve projects that will help fund the completion of facility renovations across the district, which

include a $172,125 parking reconfiguration at the high school to make for better flow of traffic, $550,000 in security advancements, music room renovations totaling $585,000 and $1,893,840 for artificial turf on sports fields.

Some goals of the proposed budget are to maintain core instructional program and staffing, continue fine and performing arts and athletic programs, enhance science research programs to provide introductory and honors course options, add new math labs and offer eight new clubs.

Vote May 16 at the Rocky Point High School gym from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Miller Place

Miller Place’s $71,190,675 proposed budget is 0.83 percent or an increase of $587,788 on last year’s budget.

According to the district, the proposed budget maintains all current programs, provides additional reserves for capital project funding and accounts for an additional school guidance counselor, psychologist and cross-country assistant coach at the middle school.

Under the budget, there is a proposed tax levy increase of 0.61 percent, or $271,050, from last year’s $44,757,730. It will be a 0.61 percent increase in a resident’s tax bill, depending on what they pay per year.

The district will see a 1.70 percent, or $362,858, increase in state aid, which will total $21,744,776.

Voting is May 16 in the North Country Road Middle School from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Mount Sinai

Staying within the state-mandated tax cap of 1.7 percent, Mount Sinai’s proposed budget of $59,272,525 for 2017-18 is roughly a $1.2 million increase from last year’s budget.

The district projects a tax rate of $255.94 per $100 of assessed value on a property within the school district. The tax levy would rise by 1.7 percent to $39,350,460.

The district maintained its K-12 class sizes, including the recently established full-day kindergarten program, AP offerings in the high school and its recently established Columbia Writing Program.

The budget added an academic intervention services teacher in reading, a second security guard, an additional nurse and three college and technical education courses including Virtual Enterprise, College Accounting and Culinary Arts.

With 300 full-time employees, salary and related costs like social security, retirement and Medicare make up the largest chunk of the budget, totaling $42.3 million. A total $3,121,500 is proposed to fund equipment needs and contractual expenses for private vendors who service the facilities.

The district will receive an additional $460,625 on top of last year’s $17,349,375.

Vote May 16 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Mount Sinai Elementary School.

SportS Hundreds attend Lax Out Cancer games in Shoreham Alexa Boucher has attended ShorehamWading River’s Lax Out Cancer game for years, and this year, she’s one of the fundraiser’s beneficiaries.

In January, Alexa Boucher was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancerous tumor that’s grown on the 14-yearold’s eye socket.

She was chosen as one of four — alongside 6-year-old Grayson from Miller Place, and 1-year-old Hannah Grace and 10-yearold Jackson from Port Jefferson Station — who were honored in the middle of Thomas Cutinella Memorial Field during the ninth annual event May 6.

Shoreham-Wading River, Garden City, Miller Place and Bellport participated in three games, with all money raised through donations and raffles divided equally among the recipient’s families.

“I’m overwhelmed,” Alexa said when she arrived on the school grounds to see hundreds of families, volunteers and corporate sponsors rallying behind her. “I never would’ve imagined that I would be a recipient.”

Kimberly Boucher, Alexa’s mother, was equally overwhelmed by the outpouring support for her daughter, who has been undergoing chemotherapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

“We’re just so blessed to live in such an amazing community; there aren’t enough words to say how much we appreciate what’s been done for Alexa,” she said. “You never think it’d be your own child that you’re coming for ... we’re just so grateful [that] everybody comes together when they hear a child is sick.”

“He’s 6 years old and deserves everything we can give him,” Larry Horowitz said as he watched Grayson, smiling earto-ear, pass a lacrosse ball around with his friend. “There’s so much unbelievable selflessness and fundraising and everyone getting together here. The sun is shining and this is what I’ve been praying for.”

His wife, reflecting on her son’s ability to muscle through his ordeal at such a

young age, said, “He’s stronger than I ever imagined and it’s making us all stronger just watching him. … You don’t really know people until you go through something like this, and I have no idea how to thank everybody for doing they they’ve done for us.”

The Shoreham-Wading River-based fundraiser was started in 2008 by Tom Rotanz, the high school’s then varsity lacrosse coach, as a way to acknowledge the father of one

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Not long after Rocky Point mother Robin Siefert spoke to the school board about an anti-Semitic note left on her 9-year-old daughter’s desk March 23 at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (RShirley) picked up the phone.

Zeldin, one of two Jewish Republicans in Congress, has 10-year-old twin daughters and reached out to Siefert as soon as he got wind of her situation, saying, “It hit very close to home.”

“I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to assist,” Zeldin, a regular at the school’s annual Veterans Day assembly, said after his call with Siefert. “I could tell I was File photo above by Kevin Redding; file photo below left talking to a very loving mother passionately advocating for her daughter, and trying to be Robin Siefert, above, mother of a Rocky Point strong through a challenge that negatively im- student who was the victim of a hate crime pacted a young, innocent child.” act, received a phone call from Congressman He said he felt it was important the issue Lee Zeldin, below left, regarding the issue. be combated aggressively at its source, saying someone who draws a swastika may be speaking at the [board of education] meeting. inclined to do it again, or more, in the future.

Conversely, Siefert said, “This is all because Siefert, who will be meeting with the board again in executive session May 16, said I went in front of the board and said what I of Zeldin’s call, “It was just very nice to know said. All these things happened after I spoke.”

Zeldin agreed. According to his staff, the 23 incident occurred, and there’s been transdistrict’s efforts to find the student responsible parency between school and parents.

“The police were contacted by the district were outlined, but ultimately the district, as regarding the matter and information provid- well as police, believe “there is not enough ed thereon,” Ring wrote in an email. “Parents evidence to take action.”

“This is a continuing investigation.”

On April 24, Linda Towlen, principal at Joseph A. Edgar, sent a letter to parents of students in a fifth-grade class informing them of an April 21 incident where small swastikas were found on a bathroom sign-out sheet.

According to the letter, “a thorough investigation has been undertaken to determine the source of these unacceptable symbols” and “as is our protocol ... the Suffolk County Police were notified and a report filed.”

After this most recent incident, the school implemented the Second Step program in the classroom that deals with bullying and teasing.

‘There can’t really be a tolerance for it, or it’s only going to grow.’

Rocky Point substitute teacher arrested for touching student

A 23-year-old woman from Medford possessed a hypodermic needle and heroin while on Terryville Road in Port Jefferson Station at about 7:30 a.m. May 8, according to police. She was arrested and charged with possession of a hypodermic instrument and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Hit-and-run

Substitute teacher Aimee Otero, of Coram, has been arrested for inappropriately touching a student at Rocky Point High School, according to Suffolk County Police.

Last month, Special Victims Section detectives began an investigation into the conduct of Otero after being contacted by administrators at Rocky Point Union Free School District. Detectives determined Otero, 25, inappropriately touched a 16-year-old male student in a Rocky Point classroom April 7.

Special Victims Section detectives arrested and charged Otero, of Coram, with third-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child. Otero was issued a desk appearance ticket and will be arraigned on a later date.

Rocky Point Superintendent Michael Ring addressed the incident in an emailed statement through a district spokeswoman.

“The district has been notified by Suffolk County Police that a substitute teacher, who has worked for the district at the secondary level, has been arrested for inappropriate conduct with a Rocky Point High School student,” he said. “The arrest comes after the district was made aware of allegations brought forth by the student, and after the district conducted our own internal investigation during which we brought the matter to the attention of law enforcement.

“The district is always committed to the safety and well-being of our students and we take matters such as this very seriously. The individual responsible for these allegations,

On Osborne Avenue in Mount Sinai March 30 at about 7 a.m., a 20-year-old woman from Port Jefferson Station driving a 2009 Nissan struck a pedestrian walking on the shoulder of the road, and failed to report the incident, according to police.

The pedestrian sustained injuries and was transported to the hospital for treatment, police said. The driver was arrested May 8 in Port Jefferson Station and charged with first-degree leaving the scene of an accident without showing identification.

Attorney information for Otero was not immediately available.

Drugs, fireworks seized from Sound Beach home search

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Kenneth Pellegrino was arrested after drugs, fireworks and weapons were seized from his Sound Beach home, following a search warrant executed by Suffolk County Police officers.

During the May 3 search, $7,000 worth of fireworks, 110 grams of heroin worth about $26,000, 75 grams of crack cocaine worth approximately $4,500, 33 grams of marijuana and more than $1,800 in cash were found.

“What’s important to note about this search warrant is that it began with calls to our 631852-NARC [6272] line. We were able to get drugs off the street and a shotgun off the street that belonged to a drug dealer, and we were able to do that because of the assistance of the residents of Suffolk County.”

Village High school assistant appointed Prodell’s new principal

By Desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Kevin Vann will be returning to his roots this June.

The now assistant principal at ShorehamWading River High School will be reentering middle school doors, but this time as principal of Albert G. Prodell Middle School.

“I feel a strong sense of loyalty to Shoreham-Wading River,” Vann said. “The district gave me my first opportunity as an administrator, and I think I’ve developed some great relationships. I thought this was a great opportunity to stretch my wings a little bit and still stay connected to a community that I really have a lot of respect for and enjoy working with.”

Vann will be replacing retiring Principal Linda Anthony, who has been at the helm for the last 11 years. Anthony, who hailed from Nassau County and was an English teacher in Japan for four years, said she’s fortunate for the extended stay at Prodell Middle School.

“A lot of different instructional practices were put into place in the middle school, the culture of the middle school changed quite a bit — I was able to hire about 40 percent of the staff,” she said. “With so many years you can really initiate change, sustain change and then lock change.”

Some of the changes she made include increased collaboration with teachers and the level of rigor for students.

Anthony has a long history with art and, upon retirement, hopes to get back to her roots, too. She also said she wants to assist in some way with the refugee crisis.

After working with Vann, and attending a weekend conference with the soon-to-be principal, Anthony said she knows what he’s capable of doing in his new position.

“I think he will be an outstanding principal and I think he really is the best possible choice,” she said. “He will take the school to the next level. I have full confidence in that.”

Dan Holtzman, principal of the high school, said the last decade spent with Vann has been productive and meaningful.

“He has been my right hand, my support, and even more importantly, my friend,” Holtzman said. “We have worked tirelessly in creating a safe and welcoming learning environment for our students, and I am very proud of the outcomes. I think this transition will prove to be a smart move for the district and Kevin. The strengths he will bring will be an asset to the middle school.”

Vann began his career in education at St.

Joseph’s College in Patchogue, working in the business world prior to earning a job teaching social studies in the Patchogue-Medford School District. He worked on a grant for the Office of Safe and Healthy Students and was the dean of students at Shoreham-Wading River High School. In both capacities, he said the administrative and disciplinary actions he learned to take will help guide him in his new position. He also earned a master’s degree from Touro College in educational leadership.

Prior to him working in the district, there hadn’t been a tenured administrator in over a decade. Anthony, Holtzman and Vann helped change the Wildcats culture.

“There was a lot of turnover — a lot of inconsistency and a lot of uncertainty with students and parents — so we worked hard to create a culture of acceptance and a student-centered environment where the students could always come talk to us,” Vann said. “We wanted to have an open line of communication.”

To assist with that, the district brought back an advisory period, where for 15 minutes in the middle of the day, kids can connect with teachers. Advanced Placement training for educators was also added to increase subject concentrations, and the College Board has recognized the school as a result.

“We wanted students to know that their opinions and ideas were respected, and when dealing with parents we wanted them to know our goal was to create the best environment possible for their students to succeed,” Vann said. “I think that really has happened.”

shoreham-Wading river assistant Principal Kevin Vann, above, will be replacing retiring albert g. Prodell Middle school Principal Linda anthony, on left.

Now, he said he’s hoping he can carry down what he’s learned as assistant principal at the high school, while continuing the current successes already put in place.

“I know they have a highly engaged staff that’s connected to the students, so I’d look for any opportunity I have to continue to foster that growth,” he said. “There’s a tremendous amount of change kids go through at that level physically, socially and emotionally. We’re looking to make kids feel supported and know there’s adults in the building that care about them, and try to give them good opportunities to develop and to learn.”

The Shoreham-Wading River PTA’s and PTO’s have voted to support the 2017-2018 School Budget.

We believe it is educationally sound and good for our children.

Our schools reach their highest potential when supported by the community.

Annual Live Like Susie fundraiser still inspires By desirée Keegan desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Rocky Point and Mount Sinai faced off in the Suffolk County baseball championship game in 2016, and though the schools are rivals, they’re on the same team once a year to honor Susie Facini.

A Rocky Point High School graduate, Facini died in November 2011 at 19 years old of a sudden heart attack. Without warning, she felt her heart race, and passed out just seconds later. Despite efforts of her mother, Bernadette, a registered nurse, Facini was unable to be revived.

The Rocky Point alum had an immediate impact on everyone she met. Her reach was so strong that more than 3,000 people came to her one-day wake. As a result of her death, 18year teacher Andrew Aschettino, head coach of the Rocky Point baseball team, felt compelled to host a baseball game in her memory.

“She was genuinely concerned for other people — she was the happiest person,” Aschettino said. “With a smile, she always had something nice to say about everybody every day. Everyone was happier just by being around her, and that’s what we’re trying to spread here.”

Rocky Point assistant coach Eric Strovink said Aschettino called up their good friend and Mount Sinai baseball team’s head

coach, Eric Reichenbach, in 2014 to ask if his Mustangs would compete in a yearly game in Facini’s honor.

“Reichenbach said, ‘We’re in for as long as you guys do this,’” said Strovink, a Shoreham-Wading River graduate. “That’s pretty impressive.”

The two teams faced off May 6 in the annual Live Like Susie game, which raises money for a scholarship in Facini’s name. There’s no requirement for the student who receives the scholarship except that they be a kind and giving person.

“It’s extremely heartwarming,” Facini’s father Pete said of the event. “This is a community that came together to make something great out of something that is so sad and tragic. Susie represented nothing but kindness and that message transcends what has happened. These people here recognize it, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

He and his wife said they enjoy seeing that even though the current students and members of the baseball team may not have known their daughter, they’re excited to be a playing in such a special game.

“These boys never knew her, and we’re very proud,” Bernadette Facini said. “Sometimes I’ll be out shopping and I’ll see one of the kids from Mount Sinai with a purple bracelet on that says Live Like Susie or they’re wearing a Live Like Susie T-shirt, so we are so humbled by the kindness. She was adored by so many and she was just a joy to be around.

She literally went from group to group to group — there were no outsiders in her life — and that’s why we keep the kindness award and scholarship going in her name.”

Reichenbach said he’s also proud to be part of the event.

“Our communities are so close — the kids all know each other — so it’s just good people getting together for a good cause,” he said. “I know [Susie Facini] was a big part of coach Asch’s life. It’s a great way to keep her memory alive.”

Parents donate food for the event, and in return for the free food, there’s a suggested donation toward the scholarship. Last year, $1,000 was raised, and with an even larger turnout at this year’s game, Aschettino said he’s hoping for an even bigger scholarship.

Cassie Rando, last year’s recipient, was home from college and attended the crosstown matchup. Bernadette Facini pointed to her as a reason why the family and teams keep doing what they’re doing. But Aschettino pointed to the Facinis as the real motivators.

“It’s a classic case of where the apple didn’t fall far from the tree,” he said. “Their son Andy is also a great kid — they’re just great kids from a great family.”

Rocky Point students and Eagles team members like Brian Forbes feel the same way.

“It just shows how we can all come together as a family,” the senior said. “[Mount Sinai doesn’t] have to do this, but they do. That shows how great they are.”

Senior Matt Pendl said he likes seeing the two teams continue to come together each year with mutual respect and admiration for a beloved community member.

“This is so important — it shows that there’s more important things in life than just baseball,” he said. “We had a blast celebrating the memory of someone who was just a great individual. I was not fortunate enough to know Susie, but my three older brothers who went to this school were fortunate enough to know her, and all I’ve heard is that she was an amazing person. This event is just a great way to remember her.”

To donate to the Live Like Susie scholarship, contact Rocky Point High School at 631744-1600 or visit the school at 82 Rocky PointYaphank Road.

Mount Sinai wins

By Bill landon Someone needed to come out on top, and with a five-run sixth inning, Mount Sinai’s baseball team won 9-2 at Ridge’s Fireman’s Field.

Mount Sinai’s Dan Deckert’s bat cracked first, drilling a home run over the left field fence and bringing home Will Esposito for an early 2-0 lead.

Alex Giantonnio struck next with a shot to deep right field to bring home George Rainer.

Rocky Point’s John Rosman got the Eagles on the scoreboard by hitting the ball through the gap to bring home Shane Owensby and make it a 3-1 game.

The Mustangs found themselves in trouble in the bottom of the third when senior Robert Lindstrom walked a batter to load the bases with one out. Lindstrom struck out his next two batters, and escaped the inning. In the fourth, the Eagles capitalized to cut the lead in half, 4-2, with a run coming in off a walk with the bases loaded.

Mount Sinai caught fire in the top of the sixth with a pair of unearned runs, and followed it with a base-clearing threeRBI single for a 9-2 lead and the win.

Letters to the editor

Mother knows best

Reasons to be cautious watching ‘13 Reasons Why’

With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, our editorial staff wanted to take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the powerful mothers and grandmothers who have shaped our lives.

Rita J. Egan: I think about unconditional love moms give, especially my own. I feel life is a little easier when you have a mother who doesn’t raise you with her own expectations as to how you should lead your life, but allows you to make your own choices based on what feels right.

Desirée Keegan: My mother is my rock. Growing up as one of two children of a single mother, I saw firsthand what hard work and sacrifice really are. She worked most hours of the day, yet made each moment with us memorable. Through bouncing from house to house — even living in a hotel for six months — my brother and I always had smiles on our faces. And she still finds a way to make me laugh. Since I was waist-high she’d spin me around the kitchen dancing to Michael Jackson or Luther Vandross, forever leading the way. I can always count on her, and I want her to know she can always count on me.

Victoria Espinoza: The first thing that comes to mind when I think of my mom is how unapologetically genuine she is. She can laugh at herself when she tries — and fails — to keep up with the times, she knows she’ll cry at any sad scene and will never hold back her tears, and she doesn’t care how many people hear her talk to her dogs (a trait I’m guilty of as well).

She has taught me that above all else, the only thing I need to be in this world is authentically me.

Alex Petroski: My mom spent my entire childhood trying to make my life and the lives of my two brothers better than hers and her siblings’. When I was a teenager, she went back to school to finally dedicate a little time to fulfilling goals she had for her own life. Her day-to-day work ethic and drive, and her refusal to give in when things were toughest were not lost on me, and I’m a better person for it. And sorry to break it to you, she’s a better cook than your mom.

Kevin Redding: My mom is my hero. She raised me on her own for the first six years of my life and, even though that couldn’t have been easy, my permanent memory of her in those days is her big bright smile and complete determination to make sure I was the happiest kid in the world. She is the strongest, funniest, coolest, sweetest, most kind-hearted, generous and encouraging person I’ve ever known. There’s never been anything I felt I couldn’t tell her and she has an unparalleled ability to turn any bad situation into a good one — anybody who’s ever crossed paths with her knows just how infectious her energy and optimism are. Not only does my mom brighten up a room, she fills it with song (“Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin being her favorite) and no-holds-barred dancing (A little mix of Napoleon Dynamite and Ed Grimley). She’s a hardcore vegan who loves and protects animals, she does everything she can to take care of the needy, can throw a baseball like nobody’s business, loves to garden, and is always there when I need her. I love ya, Mom. Don’t forget to call the mother figures in your life this weekend and thank them for all they do.

Dear Mount Sinai Community, Over the past few weeks, the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why” has garnered national attention for its graphic, dangerous and devastating nature, and our school district has concerns about the impact this show could have on our student population.

This series, which is based on a 2007 book of the same name, revolves around a 17-year-old female who takes her own life and leaves behind a series of 13 audio recordings explaining her decision. While the show’s producers have commented that they hope the series can be helpful to those who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide, members of the National Association of School Psychologists say differently, and, in fact, do not recommend that vulnerable youth, especially those who have any degree of suicidal inclination, watch the series.

While the show addresses

topics that may be all too familiar to today’s youth — underage drinking, drug use, bullying and rape, for example — the nature in which they are presented can be troubling when viewed in this manner by an unaccompanied minor. If your child has expressed interest in watching this show, we urge you to be present during the viewing in order to provide appropriate adult guidance and support. It is important to have an open dialogue with your child about the material depicted and to remind them that while the topics are real, the manner in which they are portrayed has been intensified for television production. We urge the guiding message to be that suicide is never the answer, and that help is always available to anyone who is struggling.

Knowing that these conversations may be difficult for some, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school counseling staff

if you are in need of additional support. Furthermore, if you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, there are additional resources beyond our school community available to help. These outside organizations include, but are not limited to, the National Crisis Hotline, 800-273-TALK (8255) or text “START” to 74174 and the Response Hotline of Suffolk County, 631-751-7500 or www.responsehotline.org.

To further safeguard your child from watching this show or any other material that you as their parent do not find appropriate, please review the parental controls on your Netflix account.

Customized settings enable account holders to limit the content accessible by any party.

When picking up trash goes viral At the Washington, D.C., March on Climate Change, our voices were strong. In February, Long Island temperatures soared to near 70, and in March they bottomed out in the single digits. As a naturalist teaching the Quality Parks Master Naturalist program, I see the changes.

People suffer from tree pollen allergies and trees go full foliage too early. Some wildflowers that normally take advantage of the sunshine before leaf out are still not in bloom.

Hot on joining another march, postgraduate work in conservation biology, to me considered conservation pathology, climate change or climate pathology is also human induced. I was now looking around for some local action. Picking up trash might not be sexy to most folks, but to me, it’s a symbol to rally behind.

Trash is going viral ever since Keep America Beautiful began its Great American Cleanup, 19 years ago. Trash is polluting our coastal waters. Trash is a danger to endangered species, like turtles, that mistake it for food. Trash feeds landfills, and the resulting methane gas adds to climate change. Trash is going viral, but in a bad way too.

During the Washington march, we thumped our hearts 100 times to represent the 100 days President Trump’s been in office. Similarly, when you join Jane Fasullo (Long Island Sierra Club), Bruce Folz (Coastal Steward), Dr. Arthur “Artie” Kopelman (CRESLI), Quality Parks and others for the Great Brookhaven Cleanup on May 20 at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., we’ll have surprises.

In the morning, we’ll clean up trash in the salt marsh, and then

at 11 a.m. head over to the beach.

At noon, we’ll pause from picking up trash and face the Long Island Sound to hold hands in silence for 15 minutes to commemorate the day’s Hands Across the Sand. It’s a global movement focusing attention on the need for renewable energy. Then, we’ll continue on, learning about a national conservation movement, also on May 20 — Endangered Species Day. Returning, via the shellfish hatchery or nature center, we’ll continue to pick up any trash we find.

Visit Quality Parks at www. qualityparks.org to join our group or contact me at mblock@qualityparks.org or 631-473-6760 to learn more.

Mindy Block Quality Parks President Port Jefferson

Thank you for attending the Hope Walk for Addiction As a Brookhaven Town councilwoman, I am honored to be invited to participate in hundreds of events every year. Recently, I had the opportunity to co-sponsor the Hope Walk for Addiction at Cedar Beach. The walk raised more than $35,000 for Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson to help young people who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction. This wonderful event was organized by Bill Reitzig

and his family, in memory of his son Billy who tragically passed away one year ago from a firsttime heroin overdose at 25 years young. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Bill and co-sponsor Father Frank Pizzarelli. Their strength and commitment to lead the way keeps hope alive for young people who are in desperate need of help. Lastly, I thank the sponsors, families, friends and neighbors

who walked so other families never have to experience the pain and heartache of seeing a loved one fall victim to drug and alcohol abuse.

The success of the Hope Walk for Addiction proves that people can make a difference if we join together to fight addiction.

OpiniOn Celebrating the infectious exuberance of youth

W

hat keeps us young? Well, certainly eating healthy foods, exercising and sleeping are all on that list.

But there’s something else that works, too. If you can, try hanging out with a group of younger people at a party, even if the music is loud and incomprehensible.

At a recent party, I wasn’t sure what my daughter was saying, as I watched her sing every word with

By Daniel Dunaief her eyes wide open and her hands fluttering at her sides like a butterfly’s wings.

It’s as if both of my children have sped up the needle so fast on their speech that I suspect that what’s

D. None of the above

coming out of their mouths probably started out as distinct words at some point. I’m hoping that the message they are repeating isn’t something offensive or objectionable, like, “Environmental regulation is bad, so let’s put the fox in charge of the hens at the Environmental Protection Agency. Go fox, Go fox, Go fox.” No, wait, this isn’t about politics.

A room full of children at the party, held by a family friend, made me think a bright scientist may one day figure out how to harness that energy, store it and release it at just the right time, either when someone needed to warm a house or a heart.

The next generation seems to follow a simple formula: Why walk when you can run, skip or flip, why talk when you can shout and why stay on the ground when you can challenge gravity to hold you down?

I recognize that loud parties filled with perplexing music may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The decibel level may damage hearing aids, de-

stabilize pacemakers, or rattle fillings or dentures.

You don’t need to attend a kids party, especially if you weren’t invited to one, to share the exuberance of youth. Have you stopped your car on the way back along familiar routes to watch a T-ball baseball game, to listen to a chorus singing music you might know, or to watch a marching band trying to master John Philip Sousa while figuring out what yard line they’re supposed to be on when they reach the high notes?

All that energy begets energy. I’ve heard people talk about how their children keep them young. Imagine multiplying that, even for a day or a few hours, by however many kids are celebrating the moment in a way that doesn’t get bogged down in blinking Blackberries, a pending deadline or a need to disappear into the immobile ether of the television.

And if you’re fortunate enough, you can engage with some of the next generation in questions they raise

about the world. Many of us think we are pretty knowledgeable. That may be the case, until a child asks us a question we can’t answer. Of course, we could rush to the internet to find an answer we might soon forget, or we could try to inch our way to an answer or even revisit a question we hadn’t pondered in years.

I’m sure teachers feel the same kinds of highs and lows that appear in so many other jobs. They have to discuss the Magna Carta year after year, or explain how the change in Y over the change in X represents the slope of a line.

But, then, every once in a while, a student may ask a new question that brings the material to life and gives the teacher an opportunity to learn from the student. The best answers inevitably lead to the next best questions.

Energy, insight, curiosity and joy don’t exist solely in the world of youth, but they are often easier to spot among a group of children whose joie de vivre lifts off at a party.

Surprise! Our parents are also people

O

n the eve of this year’s Mother’s Day, I have a question to ask you.

Do you ever think of your parents as people? Sounds like an odd question, but I mean thinking about them in terms of the times they live through, their private satisfactions, their fears and phobias, the experiences that mold them and so forth. We know the facts they choose to tell us about their lives but not their deepest thoughts and feelings.

By Leah S. Dunaief We can’t ever really know them, even though we grow up in their home. Most of us consider them as loving to us, making our lives comfortable, caring for us when we are sick, instructing us how to behave, making our favorite birthday dinners.

But there is more to their existence than their interactions with us.

Between you and me

I sat down to try and picture myself in their shoes.

I know that my father met my mother when he accompanied his older brother to the home of his brother’s fiancée for the first time. There, coming down the stairs in a red dress, was the sister of the fiancée, my mother.

To hear my father tell it, he was struck instantly and forever by Cupid’s arrow.

Although he was only 15, the sight of her took his breath away. So we know what my father was feeling, but how about her? Did she catch sight of him and feel the same overpowering love at first sight? Was she coming downstairs merely out of curiosity to meet her older sister’s intended, then to slip away for the afternoon with her friends? Did she have nervous or polite conversation with my father?

What did they talk about? By the time she was 15 and he was 17, he had persuaded her to get married during her lunch hour in Manhattan’s City Hall.

They prevailed upon two men in a nearby barbershop to be their witnesses and to swear that they were both of age. They then returned to work and to their separate homes that night.

My father was triumphant, I know, because he told us so, for now he had the love of his life as his own. Did he have any idea what that meant? You know, the stuff about making a home, supporting and caring for a wife? And my mother, my always and eminently practical mother? How had he convinced her to do this without telling her parents, her brothers and sisters, especially her older sister with whom she was dearly close? Hard as it is for me to picture, she must have been wildly in love.

Theirs was a youthful marriage that worked. They were seldom apart, only during the workday, and they eagerly reunited in the evenings. I could sense the quickening of her breath as we heard his key in the front door.

And they began their nightly nonstop conversations as he entered the apartment. My sister and I fell asleep each night to the hum of their voices coming from the kitchen.

My dad was born in 1904, my mother in 1906, so they had both lived through World War I. My dad was lucky to be too young for the draft, but how did he feel seeing his

older brothers marching off to war?

And my mother? Was she worried about the fate of her older brother? I never asked them.

My parents decided everything together. My mother was more assertive about her opinions, but if my father didn’t agree she would back off.

And while he seldom disagreed with her, when he did he was not reticent to let her know. They lived through the Great Depression, but I don’t know if they worried about money or job security. Were they afraid? There was no unemployment or health insurance then. Did they have nightmares about standing on breadlines? I never asked.

I do know that by 1939 they started their first business with all the life savings they had managed to scrape together. Then came Pearl Harbor and World War II. Once again my father was saved, being just beyond draft age. Did they feel threatened by the attack and the war? What were their thoughts and feelings? How did they cope with the stress? I came along then, but at no time in their lives did I think to ask.

Now, of course, it is too late.
