State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson Station) announced the Conference of Italian-American State Legislators is now accepting applications for four $3,000 scholarships for high school seniors entering college or current college students.

“With the high expenses of college, students should take advantage of every opportunity to offset the costs,” LaValle said. “I am hopeful that students in my district apply for the awards. Nothing would make me more proud than to have our area residents be selected to receive one of the scholarships.”

Eligibility is based upon the student’s grade point average (85 or higher), involvement in sports, involvement in the local community and individual financial need.

The scholarships are limited to

constituents who reside in a district represented by senators and assembly members that belong to the New York Conference of Italian-American State Legislators. The deadline for filing is April 13. Scholarships are scheduled to be awarded at this year’s Italian-American Day in Albany June 4.

The application for the scholarship can be found at www.LaValle.nysenate.gov.

The conference is a bipartisan organization of New York State Assembly and Senate members who are actively involved in promoting and celebrating the state’s Italian-American community. The conference’s mission is to work hard to elevate and highlight Italian-American contributions to the State of New York and beyond, in all aspects of society, including literature, the arts, architecture and politics.

Talk of cell tower coming to Heritage Park

A beloved local park is gauging the reception of a potential development.

Members of Heritage Trust in Mount Sinai are currently evaluating a proposal made by a Verizon representative last month to build a cellphone tower on the property.

According to Lori Baldassare, president of the nonprofit, the group was contacted

by Verizon Wireless consultant Robert Monteleone a few weeks before the trust’s annual meeting in early February.

Without a design or any specific plan yet in place, Baldassare said Verizon’s bare-bones pitch is to install a tower somewhere on a 0.7-acre stretch of property at 633 Mount Sinai-Coram Road to help eliminate a cellular “dead zone” in the area, where weak signals and dropped calls can create safety issues.

More and more cell towers have popped up across the state in recent years as residents forgo landlines for cellphones. Phone carriers, like Verizon and AT&T, are required to make sure dangerous coverage gaps are filled, and this is usually done with the addition of towers.

Baldassare said she and other Heritage members requested more information from Monteleone as to how obtrusive the proposed tower would be and exactly where the structure might be located on the scenic site, which features a playground, baseball

Heritage Trust and community members say if a cell tower were to come to Mount Sinai, they’d prefer to see it behind the Heritage Center at the park. field, walking path, gardens, a plant maze and mini-golf course.

“Aesthetically, we would want it to look nice, and we don’t want it to change the whole character at Heritage,” Baldassare said, hoping the tower be built behind the Heritage Center building, where there are already tall poles and transformers installed. “We certainly don’t want it in front of our building.”

But a cell tower at Heritage would come with an added benefit, Baldassare said.

“Part of the reason we’re considering it is that the income generated from the cell tower — roughly between $2,500 and $3,500 a month — would go directly to Heritage

Trust to help support our programs, activities and efforts at the park,” she said. “It would certainly be a help to us as we don’t get taxpayer money, and rely on donations.”

She said she was “cautiously pursuing” the idea.

“We’re trying to weigh out the pros and cons based on what comes back to us from Verizon,” Baldassare said. “We’re doing our due diligence.”

The topic came up during a March 5 Mount Sinai Civic Association meeting.

Civic Association President Ann Becker led the discussion, raising questions and making clear to the public that no application for the

cellphone tower has been submitted.

“Nothing has happened yet, but it’s now on our radar,” Becker said. “The downside is, do we want a cell tower in the park? Every tower I’ve seen has been very big, tall and noticeable with a big concrete base.”

Vice President Brad Arrington said there are alternative models and size options available when it comes to towers.

“Would there be room on a cellphone tower to share and cooperate with other providers?” asked Fred Drewes, a volunteer at the park, referring to the service of not just Verizon customers.

Becker said there is.

“If Verizon builds it and, say, Sprint rents from Verizon by paying an additional fee, there would be that additional benefit,” she said.

“One tower, more money, less construction.”

Mount Sinai resident John Leonard said via Facebook that he would support the cell tower as long as the revenue went to the Heritage Trust, which he commended for being a 100 percent volunteer board.

“They have done amazing things,” Leonard said. “This would be an example of the money going to a true community organization with low overhead and all the benefits directly applied to the community. It’ll help this group continue doing great things for our region.”

But not all residents seem to be on board.

“It’s a horrible idea,” Robyn Blumstein said. “What an eyesore for a beautiful park.”

EDUCATION

Rocky Point students speak up about suspension They were articulate. They were passionate. And they wanted answers.

A week after they walked out and were punished by the district for it, a group of Rocky Point students stood before their administrators and spoke up.

About a dozen of the high schoolers who lined up to address the board of education March 19 were among the more than 30 district students who participated in the national school walkout Page A22 five days earlier. The students, many of them AP scholars, student council members and star athletes, had each been issued one day of in-school suspension, and were banned from extracurricular activities for three days following their choice to stand behind the front gates of the high school for 17 minutes March 14. Those middle school and high school students joined young people across the country in holding up signs and demanding stricter gun legislation to help put an end to school violence, one month after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting that left 17 dead.

While the students said during the meeting they anticipated and accepted consequences, based on a letter the district sent to parents a week prior to the protest declaring that all participants would be “subject to administrative action,” they told board members they found the ruling of suspension to be “unnecessarily harsh” and a violation of the district’s own code of conduct as well as New York state law.

Many cited Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) March 15 letter defending all students’ rights to peacefully express their views on controversial issues, stating that “any attempts to stifle this speech violates the constitutional rights of students and faculty to free speech.”

“By suspending any student who participated in this peaceful nationwide movement, the administration is effectively discouraging

Editorial comment

Rocky Point students, above, who both did and didn’t walk out March 14, attended the March 19 board of education meeting supporting those who did, below left. Students like sophomore Emily Farrell, below right, addressed the administrator’s mishandling of the event. students to have their voices heard in society,” said senior Jade Pinkenburg, who helped organized the March 14 gathering. “This is an overreaction, and we need to find a more suitable compromise … Although I believe that students should not be punished for speaking their minds in a peaceful, nondisruptive protest, we would all have happily accepted three days of detention as a consequence for cutting class [as dictated in the code of conduct] … we didn’t walk out to just flout the school’s policies or denounce the administration, but we did this because it’s our lives on the line.”

Sophomore Emily Farrell reminded board members that many schools across the country and on Long Island, including Ward Melville and Mount Sinai, ultimately did not punish students for walking out, even after forbidding students from exiting school buildings.

“So why couldn’t you support us?” Farrell asked. “All that needed to be done was to send out an adult to escort the students and provide them appropriate permission to temporarily walk outside the school building — not leave school grounds, but just go outside.

The students that walked out are good kids. … It’s disappointing that our administration suppressed our First Amendment rights by not supporting the walkout.”

One student called the district’s handling of the walkout “unpatriotic” and another asked, “At what point does our educational curriculum tell us that peaceful protest is wrong?”

Senior Nicki Tavares, a national honor society member, stepped to the microphone to address the punishment.

“This is a blatant overextension of power that disregards rules and regulations set forth by the administration themselves,” he said.

Another senior, Jo Herman, urged administrators to remove the suspensions from their school records permanently.

“Our punishment contradicted the code of conduct,” Herman said. “When we got suspended we were informed that as long as there were no further disciplinary actions against us, they wouldn’t go on our records.”

According to the students, nowhere in the district’s code of conduct, which was officially adopted in 2011, does it state any specific way to handle a situation like this, suggesting that administrators “took matters into their own hands” and enforced a rule that didn’t exist. Students called into question why a “peaceful” protest warranted a suspension, which is considered “a severe penalty” in the code — imposed on those who are “insubordinate, disorderly, violent or disruptive, or whose conduct otherwise endangers the safety, morals, health or welfare of others.”

In the code of conduct it is stated under “prohibited student conduct” that “Students may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including suspension from school, when they … engage in any willful act that disrupts the normal operation of the school community” and “The superintendent retains his/ her authority to suspend students, but places primary responsibility for the suspension of students with the building principal.”

Pinkenburg said the students had done none of the prohibited actions in the code.

“While the school claims that the walkout endangered the safety of those involved, we have not compromised the safety of other students, not ourselves, and we understood the risk involved,” he said. “We [also] did not disrupt the day at all, as all the students were watching tribute videos in the auditorium and gymnasium.”

According to the code of conduct, a student is to be given “due process” before a suspension is authorized. And, for any shortterm suspension, as mandated by New York State Education Department policy section 3214 (3)(b), the school must notify parents

‘The students that walked out are good kids. … It’s disappointing that our administration suppressed our First Amendment rights.’

— Emily Farrell in writing within 24 hours of their child’s suspension via “personal delivery, express mail delivery or some other means that is reasonably calculated to assure receipt of the notice within 24 hours of the decision to propose suspension at the last known address for the parents.” An opportunity for an informal conference is also encouraged.

But none of these procedures took place, according to the students and their parents.

“I have seen these students’ reputations be dragged through the mud for no other reason than they felt strongly about doing something about the ongoing violence and bullying here, and in schools across the nation,” said Brian Botticelli, whose daughter in the middle school was issued her unexpected suspension, as well as some hate texts from her peers because of her involvement. “It is my opinion that [Superintendent Michael Ring] overstepped his authority by issuing arbitrary and extreme punishments based on his ideological opinion

POLICE BLOTTER Incidents and arrests March 10–18 Damaged door Rocky Point senior Jade Pinkenburg, standing on left, becomes one of the main subjects of PTA meeting video.

Rocky Point incident prompts viral video

BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM One Rocky Point parent trying to make a point about school safety caused a stir.

A video has gone viral following a PTA meeting in the Rocky Point school district March 14. In the video, a man is seen pulling out what looks to be a closed pocket knife while face to face with Rocky Point senior Jade Pinkenburg. The man was seemingly making a point about the fact that security is needed in rapidly escalating situations.

“If something happened, if I decided to attack you, it would take the cops three to five minutes to come here, probably 10 if the traffic is bad,” he said to Pinkenburg as he pulled what appeared to be a pocket knife from his pocket. “What are you going to do now?”

Pinkenburg’s father Chris, a physicist at Brookhaven National Lab, yells “Stop it!” as attendees watched the scenario unfold.

Several parents at the meeting can be heard shouting, “This is inappropriate,” “He should be escorted out,” and “You can’t pull a switchblade out on a kid in a school, that’s insane.”

The meeting was held in the evening the same day students walked out of school to join in the national walkout movement honoring the 17 lives lost in the Parkland, Florida, shooting Feb. 14 and to call attention to the need for stronger gun laws.

“During a discussion on the topic of armed security guards, a parent in attendance attempted to conduct a demonstration to reinforce his belief that all school districts should have such resources at their disposal,” Rocky Point Superintendent Michael Ring wrote in a statement on the district’s website following the incident. “While the district firmly acknowledges that the demonstration was ill-conceived and inappropriate for the venue, we believe that the act was not intended to compromise the safety of those in attendance. District personnel stopped the demonstration and members of our school security team removed the individual from the meeting. The district has contacted our dedicated Suffolk County Police Department school resource officer to report the incident.”

Students like Jo Herman, who said she was suspended for walking out, expressed anger with how the situation was handled.

Video: Rocky Point March 14 meeting

“I protested peacefully this morning and got suspended,” she said on Twitter. “A man threatened a kid with a knife at a PTA meeting and got gently escorted from the school. Show me the logic.”

Herman’s Twitter post of the video received nearly 21,000 likes and 10,000 retweets in less than 24 hours. Hundreds of people, from Rocky Point school district and beyond, have reacted to what they saw.

“Real quick to show their power against students, trying to show this is unacceptable, yet I don’t see a single administrator or security detail moving an inch when the knife was pulled on one of their students,” Rocky Point wrestler Ryan Callahan wrote.

Others were alarmed at how the trend of comments were made about the man’s actions being deplorable, but there was no mention of the attendees’ reactions.

“Every adult in that room should have jumped out of their seat and gotten between the student and that guy,” wrote Carmen Campos. “I would have, but what do I know — I’m a 61-year-old fourth-grade teacher.”

Some commentors asked others to try to see beyond the knife to the point the speaker was trying to make.

“The guy is presenting a scenario, albeit not in the brightest way,” wrote Cory Spence.

“It’s clear to me that the kid didn’t feel threatened and the adult wasn’t being threatening. He’s holding the closed knife in a way to be clear to the kid.”

At a home on Main Street in Port Jefferson March 10 at about 3 a.m., a 22-year-old man from Ronkonkoma allegedly punched, kicked and used a snow shovel to damage the front door, according to police. He was arrested and charged with criminal mischief.

The 19-year-old was charged with three additional counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance for allegedly selling heroin on separate occasions between Feb. 14 and March 16, according to police.

Vehicle break-in

Police say a 31-year-old man from Centereach allegedly stole a wallet and clipboard, both containing cash, from a cesspool company’s service truck parked in a shopping center on Middle Country Road in Centereach Feb. 14 at about 3 p.m. He allegedly resisted arrest and gave police false identification on March 15 at about 10:30 p.m., near the intersection of Stanley Drive and Dawn Drive in Centereach. He was arrested and charged with thirddegree grand larceny, second-degree criminal impersonation and resisting arrest.

Grand larceny

On Nov. 13, 2017, a 56-year-old man from Shirley allegedly stole cash from within a residence on Elmwood Avenue in Selden, according to police. He was arrested March 18 in Selden and charged with third-degree grand larceny.

Cocaine possession

While on Route 25 in Selden March 18 at about 11:30 p.m., a 28-year-old man from Farmingville allegedly possessed cocaine, according to police. He was arrested and charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

He was arrested on Mooney Pond Road in Selden March 15 and charged with petit larceny.

Salz said while she knows lawsuits will be a costly endeavor, she and the fellow parents are currently drumming up ideas on how to go about it.

“I don’t know how we’re going to afford it right now,” the mother said. “But this is the only way this school district is going to be made to change.”

instead of what is best for the student body … I ask that the board conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations that this was negligently mishandled.”

Botticelli explained that the students who walked out scheduled a meeting with Ring to better understand the penalties of their involvement March 13, which turned out to be a snow day. The parent said the meeting was canceled by Ring and never rescheduled.

In response to this, Ring said, “The students did send an email that evening [Tuesday, March 13], but we didn’t get it until the following morning … I was not available then. But it was my intention for that meeting to take place.”

Nicolette Green, a senior, said while she didn’t participate in the walkout, she still stands for those who did, and encouraged administrators to do the same.

“It is our right as students to speak about problems we have — not only within our schools but within our country,” she said.

“Fighting against gun violence shouldn’t just be a student cause and, as members of the school, you should stand with us. We are calling for change.”

Green also addressed the district’s “heightened interest of safety and security,” as stated in the letter sent to parents as the main reason the walkout was prohibited and “not a viable option for our schools.”

But, she said, that was proven to not be the case last week, referring to a PTA meeting in the school district March 14 in which a man pulled out a closed pocketknife while faceto-face with Pinkenburg, making a point

that security is needed in rapidly escalating situations. Green said, although a security guard was present during that meeting, nothing was done to stop the man in an urgent manner. (See story on page A6.)

“This behavior should not be tolerated, and the event should not have happened,” Green said. “This man was told to leave by other parents, but he was not escorted out of the building. How was I or anyone else in that room supposed to blindly trust this guy?

I don’t know this man or his background.

Something should have been done.”

Ring interjected, assuring Green and the rest of the room that the district has since banned that individual from school property.

But not all speakers were against the district’s handling of the walkout.

“I would like to say that what the school district did with the walkout was appropriate,” eighth-grader Quentin Palifka said.

“There was an email that was sent, and it did say that we were allowed to write letters to Congress, Senate and the Parkland victims … if you wanted to be heard, I think that you should’ve written a letter.”

Board Trustee Ed Casswell, who remembered being a history teacher the day the Columbine shootings occurred and how “numb” it left him, thanked all the students for weighing in.

“Someone said you’re all good students … you’re not good students, you’re great students,” Casswell said, turning his attention to parents in the room. “There have been 24 shootings in a K-12 institute since 1999, 10 since Sandy Hook. When is it going to be enough? We’re all united under the umbrella of health and safety for our kids. What I ask is rather than turn on each other, that we move forward locking arms.”

rather than saying ‘Oh, it’s a risk to safety.’

They knew about this way ahead of time.”

A fellow eighth-grader who participated in the walkout with Isadora agreed that the punishment didn’t fit the crime.

“I feel like the superintendent used his own opinions to make a quick decision rather than take his time to see what would be best for everyone,” 14-year-old Ella Botticelli said. “I feel that this was wrong on his part and he should admit to that.”

Salz said she and a group of parents who met through Facebook are waiting for a response to an email sent to New York Civil Liberties Union-Suffolk Chapter Director Irma Solis last week. Salz has also been in contact with attorneys from the area.

According to the ACLU website, while the law allows school districts to discipline students for missing class, “even if they’re doing so to participate in a protest” or to express themselves, a school can’t “discipline students more harshly because they are walking out to express a political view or because school administrators don’t support the views behind the protest.”

“We hope those schools recognize that even when they are within their right to discipline students for protests, that doesn’t always mean they should,” wrote ACLU member Vera Eidelman in a Feb. 22 article. “[The students’] activism inspires confi-

“I’m just disappointed in how the district handled it. You have kids going out into the world within six months and you’re basically using a mix of both inciting fear and trying to teach them just to stick by what you say. We had a majority of our teachers and the students coming up and supporting us and saying, ‘good for you that you’re doing it and that you’re not afraid.’ I definitely think the school should be promoting a culture in which the students are able to express themselves and represent themselves equally.”

Jo Herman, senior

“I think we really got the message across that we want change. It was

Jade Pinkenburg really impactful that we did it, and now it’s getting attention … A lot of our classes require us to keep up with current events, so they educate us on what’s happening, but when we try to take part in something like this, they punish us.”

Isadora Luce, eighth-grader

“In the middle school, I know that a lot of people supported this. A lot of them didn’t participate because I think they were scared. The punishments were so nonspecific that they didn’t know if they were going to be out of school for a week or just have detention.”

Jade Pinkenburg, senior

Jo Herman

“I’m happy for all the students that [participated in the walkout]. I thought the whole movement was really great, and I’m really proud we got that many people, because the school threatened disciplinary action. I wasn’t expecting them to suspend them all, so I was kind of mad. The rest of the day I was looking up state laws.”

In honor of American Heart Month this past February, Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School students and staff participated in the annual Jump Rope for Heart event.

During the after-school program, students demonstrated their jump-roping skills to the

beat of popular music, and as part of their participation, collected donations.

Under the leadership of physical education teacher Maria Amoscato, the students helped to raise more than $11,672 for the American Heart Association.

Teaming up with Havranek’s brother, Chris, students of the two social studies classes discussed with each other what parts of the Bill of Rights they agree and disagree with. The students were also able to create scenarios and quiz the students in the other class as to which amendment was being discussed in each of those scenarios.

At the end of the assignment and virtual connection period, the children were able to ask each other questions about each other.

Captivating curiosity at science fair

To help inspire the next generation of scientists, Wading River School hosted a science fair Feb. 28. The action-packed and scientifically engaging evening was an opportunity to promote curiosity, discovery and spark an interest in student exploration.

“Scientific discovery becomes more and more essential as we compete on a global scale, and grapple with the challenges facing us and future generations,” Principal Louis Parrinello said. “The science fair offers our students a chance to explore innovative ideas while learning how to make scientific advances

on their own or with the help of a family member or friend.”

Students entered one of three categories: discovery, curator or expedition. “Expedition” was for those who wanted to be considered eligible to take part in the Brookhaven National Laboratory science fair.

Utilizing technology to spread kindness

As sixth-grade students continue to navigate, learn and connect through the 21st century, teacher Lisa McEvoy at Albert G. Prodell Middle School came up with a unique way for her class to weave a Valentine’s message and words of kindness with an academic focus.

She instructed students to use a Google classroom form and anonymously write some positive traits about a classmate. She then compiled all their comments and handed them out on Valentine’s Day. “The students really rose to the occasion and wrote some very thoughtful, kind and funny notes for one another,” she said.

SPORTS

Panthers girls don’t want their age to fool you Miller Place returners come in all ages and positions

BY BILL LANDON Miller Place boasts a mix of youth and experience in its girls lacrosse team this season, including nine eighth-graders, many of which were on the Panthers playoff team last year.

The team finished its 2017 campaign with a 7-6 record, making the playoffs but falling to rival Shoreham-Wading River in the opening round. The girls scrimmaged Syosset before going toe-to-toe March 17 with New York State champion Mount Sinai, scoring several goals on their formidable neighbors.

Being a young team, boasting just four seniors with sophomores, freshmen and the nine eighth-graders making up the rest of the roster, Miller Place head coach Thomas Carro is under no illusion as to what’s in store for his squad this season.

“We’re going to have some growing pains in the beginning,” he said. “They’re going to make mistakes. We turned the ball over like 11 times in that last scrimmage [against Syosset], so we’ve got to limit those — and we will.”

Carro said five-year senior goalkeeper Hailey Duchnowski, along with returning defenders, should keep the Panthers in games.

“I think we have one of the best goalies we’ve ever had,” Carro said of Duchnowski, also pointing to junior defender Ava Burns and sophomore midfielder Madison Murphy, who he said is “going to have a good year.”

The coach added, “If those girls play hard, that stuff becomes contagious and the younger group will follow them.”

Duchnowski pointed to areas of promise and areas of concern she has with her unit up to this point in practice.

“We are doing really well at moving the ball fast on offense, coming together on defense, working hard,” she said. “But we’ll have to get better in transition.”

Clockwise from top, Lauren Mancini moves the ball downfield in a scrimmage against Mount Sinai; Alexa Corbin attempts to progress up the field through defenders; Ava Burns battles for a ground ball; and Madison Murphy grabs possession on the draw.

Murphy’s assessment of her team’s progress so far she said belies its age, but also noticed moments of weakness.

“We have a bunch of athletes,” she said.

“We need to play together as a team, and if we do that it’ll all come together. We’ll need a lot of communication on the defensive end as well as on offense, and if we can do that fluently we can win.”

Senior Nicole Beck will also provide the Panthers with the leadership they need, and said, like her coach always does, Miller Place doesn’t rebuild, it reloads.

“We lost a great amount of talent last year, but so far we’re still able to put up the numbers offensively,” Beck said. “It’s been impressive — we didn’t think we’d be able to do that — we have a lot of young girls who are playing really well.”

Murphy said her team’s preparation for the league opener at home against last year’s

nemesis won’t have anything to do with the athleticism of the team, but with the mental preparedness. Miller Place will host Shoreham-Wading River March 28 at 4 p.m.

“If we go into that game with a positive mindset, work as hard as we can, I think there could be a positive outcome,” she said.

Carro said his team competes with some of the sport’s top Long Island talents, and finding a way to neutralize high-caliber opponent’s threats will be key to competing with the cream of the crop.

“Shoreham lost a lot [of talent] last year, but it’ll be a test for us to play a team that’s next door to us; the girls all know each other,” the coach said. “We have Rocky Point and Mount Sinai [as neighbors and opponents this year], and those are tough teams. These girls come out and play hard against those teams, and if we take care of the ball and make good decisions, we can be in the game with anybody.”

OPINION Editorial

Letters to the editor METRO/CREATIVE CONNECTIONS

Receiving a more educational punishment than suspension would help students, but they should not be stripped of First Amendment rights.

Teens have First Amendment rights I made the following comments at the March 19 Rocky Point School District board of education meeting. I think they can apply to all the districts that decided to prohibit their students from taking part in the March 14 walkout.

I’d like to preface my comments by saying I don’t have children in the district. I am not here to support any specific student and I completely appreciate that parents may have different feelings about the walkout. I’m also not here to have a discussion for or against gun control.

What I’d like to speak to is everyone’s right to have their voices heard in our democracy — including those of our children.

Historically, after all, it’s young people who have affected change.

Granted, often it’s not children this young who do this, but wait, let’s not forget that in May of 1963 thousands of students, most of them teenagers, left their classrooms and marched on downtown Birmingham, Alabama. Their Children’s Crusade helped to change a nation.

I can’t adequately express my sadness and disappointment with this board and this administration to choose to let caution and fear influence their decision to not allow students to participate in their constitutional rights with civic expression and activism. This district has lost an opportunity to teach students what it means to be

a citizen and an American.

Peaceful protest is one of the most important rights we have as Americans and it is one we should protect for all people — including our children. Rather than tell them they shouldn’t participate, we should celebrate their protest as a sign that our democracy remains strong. This next generation will inherit many of the issues that we have struggled with for years.

When they look back, they may want to know that they did not sit quietly in the face of the violence that is affecting them. Shouldn’t we as adults make it possible for them to speak?

I am writing this letter regarding the armed, off-duty police officers in the Miller Place School District. I understand the concerns of some of the parents. However, the officers of the Suffolk and Nassau counties and New York City police department are well trained and would not hesitate to take down a shooter at any school, unlike the sheriff in Florida.

I am a retired Suffolk County police officer and served 31 years with the department. My last 14 years in the department I was a D.A.R.E. instructor in the Longwood, East Moriches and Patchogue-Medford school

districts. The program was 17 weeks in length and taught fifthgrade students about peer pressure, consequences, drugs and gang resistance. I was in the school and the classrooms with the students, in full uniform, and I was armed.

I was known as Officer Richie, and I was a positive role model for the students. The faculty, administrators and parents all knew me and welcomed my presence in the school buildings. There were approximately 28 police officers in schools throughout Suffolk County until then-Executive Steve Levy decided to dismantle the D.A.R.E. program because

he felt that the officers would better serve the communities if they went back on street patrol.

This was unfortunate because the D.A.R.E. program was one of the best public relations programs for the community, police officers and students in the county, and enabled students to interact positively with all police officers.

Therefore, I feel there is a need for armed off-duty police officers, whether in the school building or on the school grounds, in case they are needed to protect the students and faculty.

Have the punishment As a former officer: ‘Arm school guards’ fit the crime The discussion locally and nationally about potential suspensions for students who participated in the walkout March 14 has us thinking.

The issue with suspensions, we feel, is that it’s the wrong way to go about punishing a student for his or her wrongdoing, based on both context and merit.

Giving a student a day off from school for misbehaving or not completing his or her work doesn’t seem quite like a punishment. Even an in-school suspension doesn’t seem like an effective answer. Surely something more productive and positive can be born from an instance of student rule breaking. Community service or completion of acts of kindness in lieu of a day at home on the couch, for a student who talks poorly about another student or answers foully when speaking to a teacher or administrator seems more appropriate. Exercises that create more inclusion and less exclusion might have a more positive effect in the long run.

In situations when a student is violent, sending a message that it cannot be tolerated while also remaining under supervision of the school community, say, with additional counseling time or through a written personal reflection about the ramifications of their behavior, would create better outcomes than a day at home playing video games or watching TV. Schools are admittedly in a tough position in deciding how to handle punishments for students who used class time to make a statement on an issue they feel passionate about. More can be learned from, say, being assigned to research and report about civil rights protests in the 1960s.

For the record, we are behind Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) sentiments regarding districts’ reactions to the March 14 walkout. Yes, it’s against school rules in all districts to walk out of school in the middle of the day, but students experiencing a moment in time of solidarity and turning it into action is something worthwhile that educators should seize on as an opportunity for learning, not vegetating with a day off.

“Peaceful expression of views on controversial issues that is not disruptive or threatening is a right that all students have in this country, and any attempts to stifle this speech violates the constitutional rights of students and faculty to free speech,” Cuomo said in a letter. “Threatening to discipline students for participating in the peaceful demonstrations is not only inappropriate, it is unconstitutional. Reports that schools may also discipline faculty are also highly concerning and would send a terrible message to our students.”

Reports by parents and students claim districts like Rocky Point, among others, were suspending kids for participating in the national event. We urge those districts to view this as an opportunity for a teachable moment.

These are unique times requiring unique responses.

Delivering adult day health care to vets As a nation we have a responsibility to ensure our nation’s heroes have not only the tools they need on the battlefield but the care and benefits they have earned when they return home. That is why I introduced the Adult Day Health Care Act, which as of last week, has now been sent to President Trump for his signature following House and Senate passage. My proposal will provide access to adult day health care for disabled veterans who need extra assistance and special attention in their dayto-day lives.

Whether it’s a Vietnam veteran affected by Agent Orange or an Iraq War veteran with a traumatic brain injury, veterans with a 70 percent or more service-connected disability rating often require significant assistance in order to carry out everyday tasks. Many times, the

burden falls on family members; some veterans may even need to reside in institutionalized facilities to receive the daily assistance of a trained medical professional. This type of financial and emotional burden is not what our nation’s heroes and families deserve.

The Adult Day Health Care Act provides comprehensive medical and personal care combined with engaging social activities for the physically or cognitively impaired, as well as an array of therapies and counseling, all while maximizing independence and quality of life.

This program is currently offered at only three state veterans homes in the country, one being the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook. This means that most veterans are unable to afford or access this quality care.

My bill defines the adult day

health care program as a reimbursable treatment option through the Department of Veterans Affairs, which guarantees all severely disabled veterans are able to access the program at no cost, and helps expand the program to all 153 state veterans homes across the country.

Our nation’s veterans and their dedicated families have sacrificed enough. This bill will give veterans the care they have earned while providing families with the support and relief they need to help their veteran loved ones to lead a fulfilling life, while keeping families together and strong.

When our nation needed them, these veterans answered the call of duty. Now it’s our turn. It is our duty as Americans to help these brave and selfless heroes.

OPINION

Going around in circles

T

he following dialogue was inspired by an actual conversation.

No friendships ended as a result of this interaction.

Joe: That’s interesting.

Aaron: What made it interesting?

Joe: It held my interest.

Aaron: That’s tautological.

Joe: What does tautological mean?

Aaron: It’s a kind of circular argument, like something is interesting because it held your interest. So, what’s interesting about what I said?

Joe: No, you see, it’s not what

By Daniel Dunaief you said, so much as the way you said it and, of course, the fact that it was, indeed, you who said it.

Like, remember that time you said that our boss was having an affair with the man she kept insulting at work and then, lo and behold, she was?

D. None of the above

Aaron: Yes, I remember that was because she was having an affair with you.

Joe: Oh, right. Good times.

Aaron: Can you tell me how what I said interested you?

Joe: But, first, did you read the latest thing about Donald Trump?

Aaron: Which one?

Joe: The one where he’s mad at the media and the media is reporting about stuff he says isn’t true.

Aaron: You’re going to have to be more specific than that.

Joe: You want specifics? How about Russia?

Aaron: What about it? It’s a country.

Joe: You’re funny.

Aaron: Stop calling me funny and tell me what Trump and the media are disagreeing about.

Joe: Are you angry?

Aaron: I’m trying to have a conversation.

Joe: Conversation. That’s interesting.

Aaron: What’s interesting?

Joe: It’s like the way you’re looking at me right now. You know what I mean?

Aaron: Nope.

Joe: You have your eyes open and

your eyebrows are up, like you’re expecting me to say something interesting, when, you know, you’re the one who always says interesting things. I read interesting things. This morning, I read something compelling about Trump and the media.

Aaron: OK, let’s go with that. What was compelling about it?

Joe: It was just, you know, well, maybe you wouldn’t think it’s compelling and maybe you knew it already, which means I probably don’t have to tell you.

Aaron: I want to talk about something.

Joe: We are talking about something. We’re talking about me and you and this weather. You know what I’m saying?

Aaron: Not really.

Joe: The weather is all around us, right? And, it’s all around everyone else. Except that, when people are somewhere else, the weather around them isn’t the same as it is here. So, to experience weather, you really have to be here.

Aaron: Right, uh huh. Go on.

Joe: Now you’re looking at me differently. You’re frowning. You need to

laugh more often. That’s your problem.

Aaron: I don’t have a problem. I’m trying to have a conversation.

Joe: About what?

Aaron: Well, a few minutes ago, you said what I said was interesting and I’ve been waiting patiently to find out what you thought was interesting about it.

Joe: Oh. Let me think. I’m going to replay the entire conversation in my head and then I’ll let you know.

Aaron: Right, sure.

Joe: No, really. Was it before or after the conversation about the weather?

Aaron: Before.

Joe: See, I was listening. I remembered that we talked about the weather.

Aaron: You weren’t listening to me.

You were listening to you. You brought up the weather.

Joe: Right, OK, I have a confession to make. I wasn’t listening to what you said all that closely, but I know it was interesting.

Aaron: What part? Do you remember any of the conversation?

Joe: Not really. I have to go. It’s been nice chatting with you.

TBR News Media video post goes viral amid concern for our children

A

man at a March 14 PTA meeting in a high school in Rocky Point, New York, confronts a student in the aisle and holds a knife over his head. The pocket knife is closed and the man is trying to make a point about the need for security on behalf of the students in the school, including his two daughters. It is a heart-stopping moment, and the video was

By Leah S. Dunaief provided to TBR News Media by a senior student named Jo Herman.

We ran the video, along with the story of the meeting, on our website, Facebook page and YouTube. Such is the world we live in and the concern of parents around the nation that, to date,

Between you and me

the Facebook video post has been seen by more than 11.3 million viewers. The total reach for all our Facebook posts last week was in excess of 17 million.

That’s 17 MILLION plus, about the same as the entire population of the Netherlands. In addition, there have been many thousands of shares and comments on our Facebook page and our website. These numbers were supplied to us by Facebook Insights, the dashboard of Facebook and the most authentic source.

If ever we needed evidence of this world we are living in today, and the heartfelt concern of parents throughout the United States, here it is. Could there be any parents who feel untouched by the concern for the safety of their children in the schools? Children have become the latest targets of an assassin’s gun.

These are not jihadists doing the killing. These are not ideologues carrying out the murders. These are our own citizens, in many cases children

themselves, who are able to procure weapons and turn them on their teachers and classmates. Those 11 million viewers and all the rest of the parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives and friends of children who haven’t seen this video are no less terrified at the tragedies that have already been perpetrated and the violence that may yet come.

What is to be done? There are many reactions. Our children have realized their political clout and called for action with their walkouts and 17 moments of silence. Politicians in various states have proposed legislation, even passed legislation in one state, Florida, to try to gain control of this madness.

The state is being sued for doing so, and the president offers words.

Consider this. A puppy dies on an airplane and within 48 hours, there is legislation passed to attempt to prevent such an unhappy event from happening again. How many more youngsters and adults must die before we can get

our arms around this horror?

Social media can be great. It can be a miracle thread that connects us, informs us, unites us. It can also be a misery, as governments around the world are realizing. Facebook has been corrupted by its inability to prevent personal information from being stolen by nefarious thieves. But it has delivered a loud and clear message with the frenzy of response to a single incident in a small town on Long Island: The population is frightened, more frightened than by any attacks made against us by foreign nations or religious fanatics in the past. This threat is inside our defenses and until now seemingly unstoppable.

Yes, we need gun control. Yes, we need mental health services. Yes, we need greater vigilance. Yes, we need protection. We need all of that and more. Most of all, we need leadership, not contention, because this is a moment that is shaking our republic in its heart.
