Meet the students at the top of their game By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Local school districts took pride in their highly accomplished students at the top of the class this year. Last weekend, valedictorians and salutatorians from Miller Place, Mount Sinai, Rocky Point and Shoreham-Wading River took to the stage to address their peers during the Class of 2017 commencement ceremonies.

Miller Place

William Sussman and David Argento were the school’s valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. Sussman, who graduated with a 101.4 GPA, was a National Merit Scholar and Advanced Placement Scholar with Honor. He was president of the Future Business Leaders of America and received U.S. State Sen. Kenneth LaValle’s (R-Port Jefferson Station) Youth Leadership Recognition Award. Enrolled in nine AP courses throughout his years at Miller Place, including AP Chemistry and college computer application, he served as the Mathletes team captain, and was a member of the National Honor Society and the Foreign Language National Honor Society.

He will attend Yale University in the fall to major in electrical engineering. “I think the best way to put it is gratification,” Sussman said about being named valedictorian. “After years of putting in hours of work — staying up late to do all the homework and projects in addition to extracurriculars — it felt good to be recognized. Sussman followed in the footsteps of his father, Dr. Howard Sussman, an associate professor of clinical family medicine at Stony Brook University School of Medicine and valedictorian of his own high school in 1988. “It’s kind of exciting and poetic,” Dr. Sussman said. “He values education incredibly highly and he’s really gone above and beyond to learn all he can.” Argento, who is heading to Providence College in the fall to study finance on the school’s St. Thomas Aquinas scholarship, was named salutatorian with a 99.1 GPA. With a loaded schedule, he was a National Honor Society parliamentarian, co-captain of the varsity tennis team, an Eagle Scout, and was also a member of Mathletes, orchestra and a jazz combo musical group. Like the valedictorian, he has taken nine AP courses at Miller Place. Argento said he hopes to have the opportunity to run his own business someday.

Argento’s older brother Chris was valedictorian at the school in 2012. He said he never expected to be in the position he is now. “It feels great, but I didn’t really have it as a goal to be salutatorian,” Argento said. “I just tried my best and it seemed to work out.” He said he chose his college because of its similarity to Miller Place, which he called a very positive environment. “Both schools are rather small, and I just felt very comfortable there right from the start,” he said.

Mount Sinai

At the top of Mount Sinai’s class are Ben May and Helene Marinello. May, the school’s valedictorian, graduated with a 103.97 GPA, and is known for his environmental work. He was the founder of Mount Sinai’s Model United Nations and environmental outreach club, was on the Matheltes team, and was captain of the Ocean Bowl team, which won a national title this year. He took three AP classes as a sophomore, four as a junior and six his senior year. “The school was very receptive to me wanting to challenge myself academically,” he said. “Over the past three years we’ve made

the school very sustainable [through the environmental outreach club]. We started a recycling program, we do annual cleanups with about 70 students cleaning up Cedar Beach.” Outside of school, the valedictorian was also on the planning committee for the first Long Island Youth Conservation Summit and is the group’s current national communications coordinator, writing the emailed newsletter. Through the Sea Youth Rise Up campaign, he won a video contest last spring, was selected to travel to NYC and Washington D.C., where he participated in a live internet broadcast, met with the president of the United Nation’s general assembly and met with former President Barack Obama’s (D) environmental quality council. “It was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever done, because with that meeting, we were pressing them to found a new national monument at the marine protection area called Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument,” May said of the new marine protected area Obama established last fall. His passion is meeting with politicians and pressing for environmental changes. He plans to double major in international relations and economics at Pennsylvania State University this fall and plans to become proficient in six different languages. “I could use that for international diplomacy through political advocacy when it comes

A screen shot of what the hacked town of brookhaven website looked like.

Brookhaven 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, according to Deputy Supervisor Dan Page A30 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 own 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. “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 ISIS-related Facebook pages,” he said. “We’re pretty thorough here at the town, but I don’t know that

Editorial comment

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 (R-Shirley) 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.

A 35-year-old man from Rocky Point and a 27-year-old woman from Mastic Beach were at a known drug location near the intersection of Route 112 and Hallock Avenue in Port Jefferson Station at about 9 p.m. June 21 for the purpose of purchasing and using heroin, according to police.

Moving up

Princess poetry winner

Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School second-graders celebrated their academic achievements during a moving-up ceremony this month. After a warm welcome from Principal Virginia Gibbons, several students shared essays before members of the second-grade service squad weres commended for their dedication. Then, one by one each student proceeded to the front of the room where they received their moving-up day sashes and a dictionary courtesy of the Rocky Point Rotary Club.

Giovanna Esgro, 7, of Wading River, won first prize for the My Secret Wish category for second graders, in the 11th annual Princess Ronkonkoma Productions Children’s Poetry Contest. Her poem, titled “Swaying Vines” read: “Swaying vines. Up across the frozen lake gets bits of sunlight all around is the great maple tree dripping with vines, and this great maple tree gets a handful of wind and the vines do sway. As that wind comes, leaves blow into the fresh spring air and they whoosh on top of the frozen lake nearly breaking the coat of ice.” “My daughter was so excited,” her mother Annie Esgro said.

ToP of The ClASS Continued from page A3 to the environment, which is what I hope to do in the long run,” he said. When he thinks about his time spent in Mount Sinai, and when asked how and why he’s striven for success for so long, May recalls the instant he knew he was chasing the No. 1 spot he’s in now. In his AP World History class, for every chapter read, students needed to create an outline. Grades would be given from 1 to 5, depending on how much work seemed to be put in. May’s friend would spend half an hour on his assignment and get a 4, and May put in two hours with each assignment, and received at 5. “Almost every single time we’d get the grades back, he’d ask me why I put in so much work — What matters getting that extra point?’” May recalled. “I just wanted it. I felt I knew I could get that extra point if I put in a little extra effort, and I kept that mindset throughout high school and put in that extra bit of time to get the better grade. It’s super fulfilling. It shows it pays to put in the extra work.” Marinello graduated with a 102.04 GPA. She said high school has left her with many memorable moments, but enjoyed a trip to Disney World this past March the most. “I felt as though our whole school bonded as one large group, instead of the usual cliques,” she said. “I got to become closer with people I normally would not have talked to.” She said she felt honored to be at the top of her class. “The competition between class rank was very vigorous, so it is truly a privilege to be recognized for what I was able to accomplish,” she said. “Seeing all my hard work finally pay off, in a way other than just good grades, brought me great pride. These past 13 years at Mount Sinai have been an all-around learning

Surprise graduation

Rocky Point senior Brittany Reh has won one of four National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association’s Scholarships given to Suffolk County athletes. Described by her coaches and peers as an exceptional talent, amazing student-athlete with an incredible work ethic and a true leader with an inspiring need to succeed, Reh was a five-year varsity cheerleader, named captain for the last two seasons. She helped her team to two Suffolk County championships and a Universal Cheerleaders Association national championship title. Boasting a 97 GPA and a 29 on the ACT, Reh was a member of the National Honor Society, a math tutor, a volunteer for the Suffolk County Cheering for Charity group and various Rocky Point Kiddie Cheer Clinics. She also recently received the Officials Scholarship Award. Reh will be attending Adelphi University in the fall, where she will also cheer. She plans on majoring in elementary education.

Shoreham-Wading River High School senior Ethan Wiederkehr was surprised with a graduation ceremony June 8 when his friends and teammates gathered in the auditorium to watch him receive his diploma from principal Dan Holtzman. “Our principal called down a few of us and asked to tell all his friends and classmates to come down to auditorium,” Shoreham-Wading River senior and teammate of Wiederkehr, Kevin Cutinella said. “It was successful. Tons of people filled the auditorium and once he walked in he was in shocked. It was actually funny his reaction. Then he walked up and did a whole graduation ceremony just for himself. It was funny.” The surprise was planned after it was learned that Wiederkehr would not be able to attend graduation because he is scheduled to attend Northwestern University’s football camp. — DesiRée Keegan

Port Jefferson’s Mather Hospital a model for “green” initiatives By alex petRosKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com A Port Jefferson-area hospital is setting trends in reducing its environmental impact. A number of new initiatives at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital have turned the facility into an energy efficiency machine, but the hospital’s director of engineering, design and construction said they’re not done trying to improve. “I would say Mather is one of the most progressive hospitals on the Island in terms of green energy renewable technology and reducing carbon footprint,” Brian Hassan, PSEG Long Island lead account manager for health care, said in a phone interview. He added if other hospitals followed Mather’s lead it would be beneficial to reducing substantial carbon footprint that can be left by facilities that consume large amounts of energy. The glowing assessment can be attributed in large part to the efforts of Kevin Koubek, the engineering director at Mather who is constantly working to improve the hospital’s efficiency. “I think we’ve shown we’re trying to do everything physically and humanly possible to reduce our demand on the grid,” Koubek said in an interview. Between air conditioning and heating, heavy-duty medical equipment, elevators, kitchen equipment, lighting, gift shops, coffee shops and various waiting rooms, the amount of power required to run

John t. mather memorial Hospital director of engineering, design and construction Kevin Koubek monitors the hospital’s electricity generation. a hospital is obviously substantial. Koubek said the hospital is always looking for ways to reduce energy requirements. “Trying to offset some of this electrical demand is huge, and that’s one of the reasons we have tried to identify where we can minimize our loads,” he said. Mather is the first Long Island hospital to install a thermal ice storage system to help with cooling the hospital during warmer months. It was installed and became operational earlier in 2017. The system serves to shift a portion of the hospital’s peak electrical load from daytime to nighttime, when electricity is more plentiful, less expensive and generated more efficiently by creating ice using larger air conditioning equipment

during off-peak hours, then storing ice in 24 tanks that are used with pumps to generate cool air during the day. “The day-to-day benefits would be that we’re not turning on this large machine, we’re pulling off the electric grid,” Koubek said. In the past, before the hospital focused on energy efficiency initiatives, Koubek said much like homes in the summertime, the hospital’s cooling systems had a hard time meeting demand. “We have to recognize [we] do have patients that for whatever reason, they’re here,” he said. “Their comfort is paramount.” The chiller was approximately $2 million, though the hospital is expecting a rebate check from PSEG Long Island to cover half the cost.

Mather was also the first Long Island hospital to install solar panels. A 50-kilowatt photovoltaic ground-mounted solar panel was installed in the rear of the parking lot in 2011, and Koubek said the hospital has considered adding more. “[Hospital administration] would love to do that, it’s just very expensive,” he said. Koubek added the hospital is also in the process of replacing about 300 standard lighting fixtures of the roughly 3,000 at Mather with LED ones. Standard fixtures require about 180 watts of power while LEDs require about 30 watts. “That’s the one thing that is sort of flying under the radar, but is making a huge impact on us is the fact that we’re on a track to replace every lighting fixture in the hospital and go to 100 percent LED,” Koubek said. The hospital is also using lower cost hydropower, or electricity created by utilizing moving water, to reduce its energy costs by $2.5 million through the ReCharge NY award from the New York Power Authority. ReCharge NY is a program designed to retain and create jobs through allocations of low-cost power, half of which is made up of hydropower. Koubek seemed to embrace the idea that Mather is setting trends for other hospitals in increased efficiency. “I’d have to say we’re probably one of the leading hospitals on the Island, if not in the state,” he said.

Bike-sharing program coming to Suffolk County By Kevin Redding Kevin@tBRnewspapeRs.com Grab your helmets Suffolk County and get ready to ride. The wheels are in motion to launch a long-developed regional bike share program in the county that will help relieve traffic congestion, expand mobility options, boost businesses and advocate a healthier lifestyle for residents of all ages. County Executive Steve Bellone (D) announced last week the Department of Economic Development and Planning has issued a “request for information” due back July 13 to better determine cost estimates, possible vendors and proper implementation of a system like this. The county executive will seek grant funding from a state agency and aims to have a pilot program implemented by summer 2018. The proposal serves as part of Bellone’s Connect Long Island Initiative, which aims to “create new mass-transit connections between major roadways, Long Island Rail Road stations and transit-oriented downtowns” to promote economic growth in the region. “We view bike-sharing as a win-win that provides greater tourism and economic development while providing a healthy alternative that ultimately reduces automobile emissions,” Bellone said in a statement. “This latest initiative ensures that Suffolk County

remains a leader in embracing cutting-edge transportation alternatives that better connect residents to our vibrant downtowns.” The bike share program proposes that sturdy, easy-to-ride three-speed and sevenspeed bikes equipped with GPS navigation systems will be stationed near transit spots, like train stations, to provide “last-mile connectivity” to far-away destinations like parks and businesses for residents, commuters and visitors. A rider would be able to park and lock up his or her bike at any station in town at a regular user rate to be determined. The program is being modeled on successful ones currently in operation in Long Beach and on campus at Stony Brook University, which launched its own bike share system in spring 2013. “If the Stony Brook University ‘Wolf Ride’ bike-sharing program is any indication, this will be a winning initiative for the people of Suffolk County,” Stony Brook University President Dr. Samuel L. Stanley said in a statement. “[The university] has been providing our students, faculty and staff with a sustainable and healthy transportation alternative that is effectively reducing our carbon footprint; it has grown in popularity and usage over time and I suspect the residents of our region will respond to the County’s program with similar enthusiasm.” Suffolk County Downtown and Transit Development Director Jonathan Keyes, who

Jonathan Keyes speaks about the benefits of the program in a county-made video. worked with the Long Island Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council to bring the program here, said visitors to the region wanting to avoid summertime traffic jams will want to take advantage of it, adding it could also help bring more young workers back on Long Island. “What’s cool about it is it’s a nice, healthy alternative for people, especially on a great day, by giving incentive to leave the car behind, take a mass transit for the day, enjoy the nice weather and get some great exercise

as well,” Keyes said in a video made to showcase the program. Wayne Horsley, the regional director of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, said in a statement he and the department are in full support of the proposal. “Bicycling is a fun, healthy and environmentally friendly way to explore Long Island,” Horsley said. “State Parks applauds County Executive Bellone’s efforts to make Suffolk County more bikeable.”

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

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

On July 27, 1974, the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives voted three articles of impeachment of President Nixon. Article 1 charged Nixon with “interfering or endeavoring to interfere with the conduct of [Watergate] investigations by the …. Federal Bureau of Investigation.” The key evidence: the “smoking gun tape” in which, in the Oval Office, Nixon authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to convince the FBI to halt the Watergate investigation. Nixon, soon thereafter, resigned. History is repeating itself. In mid-2016, FBI Director James Comey commenced an investigation of Russian interference (with potential Trump campaign collusion) in the 2016 election cycle. January 26, 2017, the White House was informed that Trump confidant and National Security Agency Director Michael Flynn was part of that investigation. The very next day, at a one-onone dinner at the White House,

The ghosts of Watergate

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.

Trump, despite having told Comey that he was doing a great job and would continue in his 10-year term, requested from Comey a loyalty pledge as the price of keeping his job. Comey declined the request. On Feb. 14, after clearing the room of everyone including the attorney general (Comey’s boss), Trump stated to Comey: “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this [Flynn investigation] go, to letting Flynn go … ” During March 30 and April 11 telephone calls, Trump asked Comey to “lift the cloud” of the ongoing Russian investigation that was impairing his ability to act. Trump apparently made similar requests to the heads of the NSA, DNI and CIA. All such inappropriate requests were rejected. Comey chose independence over “loyalty” and obstruction. On May 9, Trump fired Comey conceding, in a Lester Holt interview, that he did so because of the ongoing Russian investigation. The next day, Trump stated

to two Russian operatives in the Oval Office, “I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job … I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” Thankfully, Trump’s pressuring and then firing of Comey in an attempt to end the investigation was thwarted by the appointment of a special prosecutor. James Clapper, former director of national intelligence, stated that “Watergate pales in comparison to the Trump-Russia scandal.” The American people agree: 61 percent believing that Trump fired Comey to protect himself; 56 percent believing that Trump is interfering in the Russian investigations; and, at this early stage, 43 percent supporting Trump’s impeachment. No one knows whether Trump will suffer the same impeachment fate as Nixon. But all should heed the words of George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

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 progress but

have a lot of work ahead 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 Suffolk 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.

Zeldin, listen to the experts I was disappointed to see Congressman Lee Zeldin come out in support of President Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement. Zeldin’s support flies in the face of his sitting on the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and the Long Island Sound Caucus. In supporting this withdrawal, Zeldin ignores the 97 percent of scientists who agree that climate change is real and man-made.

Unfortunately, this seems to be something of a pattern with Congressman Zeldin. He ignored the criticisms of the American Health Care Act by the American Medical Association, the AARP, numerous hospital and disability advocacy groups and the AFL-CIO when he cast his ballot in support of Trumpcare. In ignoring the scientists and doctors when making his decisions, the congressman is ignoring those

who he is supposed to represent. Between Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory, there is a large constituent population of medical professionals, scientists and researchers whose expertise he disregards. This congressman was elected to represent a district with diverse views and is thoroughly failing to do the job he swore an oath to uphold.

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
