Man washes up near Port Jefferson Harbor By elana glowatz

A dead body found on a beach near Port Jefferson Harbor is not the man who went missing following a plane’s crash-landing at the end of February.

day that Homicide Unit detectives are investigating the man’s death, but it appears he drowned. Authorities identified him as 28-year-old Marlon Lewis, who was homeless.

A Port Jefferson Village code enforcement officer found the body at about 1:45 p.m. that day, police said, at which point police officers responded to the scene at the beach. The Suffolk County medical examiner’s office will perform an autopsy.

Code Chief Wally Tomasze-

wski said in a phone interview Tuesday that the code bureau’s Sgt. Steve Grau spotted Lewis’ body in the water near the Centennial Park beach from his position on the village’s dock, in front of the Village Center on East Broadway. The sergeant originally thought the victim was a woman because he was in a dress, according to the chief.

Tomaszewski said the code officers had seen Lewis around the village for the last five years or so, usually uptown in the morn-

ing, and he would get food at a soup kitchen in the downtown area on Mondays.

Lewis’ body washed up almost four weeks after a small plane, carrying four people, crash-landed in Setauket Harbor near Poquott. The Piper PA28 had taken off from Fitchburg, Mass., and was headed for Republic Airport in Farmingdale on Feb. 20 when it experienced engine trouble and the student pilot, 25-year-old Bronx resident BODY continued on page A8

Limo driver at fault in fatal Cutchogue crash: DA

By Phil corSo

A fatal crash was the result of a limousine’s dangerous U-turn at a busy intersection in Cutchogue, and on Wednesday a special grand jury placed the blame on the driver.

Carlos F. Pino, 58, of Old Bethpage, surrendered to police Wednesday and was arraigned on four charges of criminally negligent homicide, four counts of assault, failure to yield the right of way, reckless driving and other traffic violations, Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota said. Pino was attempting a U-turn near the

intersection of Depot Lane and County Route 48 on July 18 when Steven Romeo, 55, of Peconic, T-boned the limo, killing four and injuring six.

The crash killed Smithtown’s Brittney Schulman, 23, and Lauren Baruch, 24, as well as Stephanie Belli, 23, of Kings Park and Amy Grabina, 23, of Commack, who were all riding in a limousine in the middle of a weekend wine tour on the eastern part of the Island. The collision also injured passengers Joelle Dimonte, 25, of Elwood, Melissa Angela Crai, 23, of Scarsdale, Alicia Arundel, 24, of Setauket and Olga Lipets, 24, of Brooklyn. Romeo, the DA

Transgender activists call for Flanagan’s support

By GiSelle Barkley

The crowd’s chants were loud and in unison.

“Trans lives matter. Pass GENDA now.”

Juli Grey-Owens, executive director of The Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition, joined with members of the Long Island DREAM Coalition, the Bus Riders’ Union, SEPA Mujer and the Move to Amend Coalition and other organizations on Thursday, March 17, at the Setauket Presbyterian Church to demand better transparency and representation from state Sen. John Flanagan (R- East Northport).

While the coalitions had different agendas, they all sought to deliver a message to Flanagan with hopes of sparking a serious conversation on transgender rights, public transportation issues, undocumented students and families, isolated confinement and other concerns they argued were being ignored on the state level of government.

“Right now, Long Islanders — everyday, hardworking Long Islanders — are not being seen as a priority in the state, nor by our own state representative,” said Aaron Watkins-Lopez, organizer for the Long Island Bus Riders’ Union.

Last year, Suffolk County made steps to cut various bus schedules because of a lack of state funding. Watkins-Lopez said that Sen. Philip Boyle (R-East Islip) supported getting additional transit

funds, and took steps to establish a piece of legislation when former state Sen. Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) was working in the Senate.

Currently, transgender individuals don’t have any laws prohibiting transgender discrimination in the workplace, housing and more.

After Skelos left office because of his own legal troubles, people like Grey-Owens hoped the Senate would finally pass the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, which was introduced in 2003 as a means of outlawing discrimination in New York State based on gender identity or expression.

The state Assembly passed the bill eight years in a row, but was never brought to a vote in the Senate. GreyOwens said she hoped Flanagan would bring the bill for a vote when he became Senate majority leader.

According to Grey-Owens, Flanagan said he would support the bill in 2014 if it came to the floor for a vote.

“He refuses to bring the bill to the floor and transgender New Yorkers are forced to wait another year to possibly receive the same rights that all New Yorkers enjoy,” Grey-Owens said during the meeting.

Although Flanagan was unable to make the meeting, his spokesman Scott Reif said the Senate majority leader “prides himself on being open and

Juli Grey-Owens chants with residents at the Setauket Presbyterian Church.

transparent.” He added that Flanagan’s absence wasn’t personal.

“The senator routinely meets with all groups, as he has done for 30 years throughout his entire public career, regardless of whether he agrees with them or not,” Reif said in an email. “The decision to take a meeting is never influenced by a group’s position on an issue, it is dictated solely by what his schedule will allow.”

Watkins-Lopez expressed disappointment with Flanagan’s absence and said it was imperative for state officials to meet with their constituents and acknowledge their concerns.

“We pay taxes, we pay their salaries.

We’re their bosses and they need to remember that,” Watkins-Lopez said after the meeting. “They’re public servants.

Serve the public not yourself.”

Flanagan’s absence at the meeting was also disappointing for Dulce Rojas, community organizer for SEPA Mujer. The nonprofit organization aims to help Latina immigrants and representatives demanded that Flanagan address their concerns.

Rojas said that human trafficking is prevalent in the area. Rojas said she “wanted to ask him to start thinking about all the residents on Long Island.”

Narcan kits include an applicator that sends the medication into the nose.

A Narcan training course will take place nearby this month, as part of a Suffolk County effort to teach residents how to use the lifesaving medication.

At the Setauket firehouse on Nicolls Road, participants will learn how to identify overdoses of opioid drugs, such as heroin, Vicodin and Percocet, and use the anti-overdose medication Narcan, also known as naloxone, to

revive victims.

People who complete the training will receive an emergency resuscitation kit that contains Narcan as well as a certificate of completion.

The firehouse event will be held on Thursday, March 31, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Those interested should RSVP to seth.squicciarino@suffolkcountyny.gov or to 631-854-1650.

In effort to remain at the forefront of science and technology, U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) are continuing their fight to increase funding for Brookhaven National Laboratory for fiscal year 2017.

Last week the senators asked the Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development to match President Barack Obama’s (D) $5.7 billion request for the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, according to a press release. The lab receives a sizeable amount of support from the department’s Basic Energy Science program. More funding would help the lab improve the National Synchrotron Light Source-II project. The project will help more than 4,000 university-, industry- or government-supported programs.

Earlier this year, the senators supported the president’s request of $179.7 million, $111.8 million and $1.8 million to go toward operating the lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, improvements to

NSLS-II and its Core Facility Revitalization project respectively. The money for the RHIC is part of Obama’s budget inquiry for the Nuclear Physics program.

The lab stated their gratitude to the president after his first demand to increase funds in February. BNL Director Doon Gibbs extended thanks to Schumer and Gillibrand for their continued support.

Schumer said he would “continue to fight for increased federal funds in Congress to make sure the Brookhaven National Lab and its ion collider continues to operate.”

Around 16-years-old, the ion collider currently provides 850 jobs and is the only one in the country. While the NSLS-II allows scientist to study highenergy light waves, RHIC is the first machine in the world to support colliding heavy ions.

Gillibrand echoed Schumer’s statement.

“If we are going to out-innovate and out-compete other countries in the fields of science and technology, we must continue to invest in cutting edge facilities,” Gillibrand said in a press release.

Town goes tech

Highway super takes systems online

By Phil corso

Managing one of the largest highway departments in New York State takes a lot of work, and Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) has put all of it in the palm of his hand.

As of Jan. 5, the entire department went paperless with a new electronic work order system and by the end of that month, foremen in the field either updated or closed more than 1,500 work orders using a mobile app on town-issued iPads. In an exclusive interview with TBR News Media, Losquadro and his team said the Brookhaven highway department has raised the bar for municipalities across the state.

“To me, this is nothing short of transformative,” Losquadro said. “Improving efficiencies of the highway department has been one of my priorities since taking office three years ago.”

In the past, Brookhaven residents hoping to see something as simple as a pothole being repaired in front of their home would need to file a work order, which an office staffer would enter into a computer, print out and then deliver to a foreman, typically taking five to seven days before resolution. But now, the highway superintendent said, the information can be shared almost immediately.

“We owe that to our customers, because they deserve the response that a customer from any business should get,” Losquadro said, referring to his Brookhaven constituents.

The new paperless system capitalized on already existing geographic information systems the town had invested in over recent years to help create one cohesive platform, allowing town employees to view, update and create work orders in real time, from the field. And through each step of development, Losquadro said foremen and town workers who would be using the technology on a daily basis provided their feedback.

Matt Sabatello, who works in the town’s tech department, worked alongside a dedicated crew of inhouse developers to grow the mobile application and make it accessible for all town employees. With more than a decade of experience working with the town already under his belt, Sabatello said he has seen the arc of technological advancement go into overdrive under Losquadro’s direction.

Some of the interactive features Losquadro and his team helped to launch over the past year included colorcoded visual queues identifying outstanding work orders, a display of all open work orders prioritized by the date created and a new “follow me” GPS-enabled feature that could be used to identify problem areas as well as track town vehicles when they are out in the field.

“If you see something, create a work order,” Losquadro said, playing off the Metropolitan Transportation Authority slogan, “If you see something, say something.”

And the efficiencies stretch far beyond a run-of-themill pothole fix, too. John Giannott, a senior administrator with the highway department, said the mobile technology has made Brookhaven’s response time to serious weather events such as severe snowfall nearly two hours quicker.

“We keep finding new uses for this every day,” he said.

“It puts you ahead of the curve, because all your assets are tracked.”

The “green” technology has also allowed the town to apply for state grants and emergency relief funds in a more efficient way, making Brookhaven that much more equipped for more green.

Looking ahead, Losquadro said he hoped to see other facets of Brookhaven government follow suit in implementing such technology. He said he has already seen an interest from the town board to use similar platforms to track constituent complaints.

PERSPECTIVES

How to safeguard North Shore environment: Rep. Zeldin Your turn

BY LEE ZELDIN

On the East End of Long Island, we must be committed to protecting and preserving the abundance of our natural resources that are so important to our life, culture and economy.

This is an issue that is personal for all of us. For me, growing up on Long Island and enjoying the beauty of Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge, Smith Point County Park and so many other treasures of life in our area, we are constantly reminded that in order to provide each generation with that same privilege, we must be good stewards of the environment. Protecting

TBR

our environment also goes hand in hand with protecting commerce in our regional economy where so many jobs and small businesses depend on scenic beaches, parks, clean water and wineries to attract visitors and economic growth.

In 2015, whether it was the effort to reverse President Obama’s proposed 22 percent cut in funding for the Long Island Sound, opposing the misguided plan to dump Connecticut’s dredged waste into the Sound, or supporting $27 million in funding for the National Estuary Program, there were many local environmental issues worth championing. Of critical importance was the successful effort to save the Land and Water Conservation Fund after the previous Congress had allowed this program to lapse. Congress also established a permanent tax deduction for conservation easements that are essential to preserving land and farms in our region, and made progress in further developing the research and use of alternative energy, much of which will take place right here on Long Island at SUNY Stony Brook and Brookhaven National Lab. Here are a few of the many other specific opportunities that exist moving forward: · Stopping the sale of Plum Island (H.R.

1887). Last year, I introduced legislation, H.R. 1887, that would protect Plum Island and prevent a sale by the federal government to the highest bidder. This bill has bipartisan support from the entire Long Island and Connecticut delegation in both the House and Senate. Plum Island is cherished by the local community, not only as an essential resource for research, but also for its abundance in cultural, historical, ecological and natural resources.

Congress should take action to pursue a better direction for Plum Island that would allow for continued research, public access and permanent preservation. · Protecting the Long Island Sound by passing the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act (H.R. 2930). This bipartisan legislation that I introduced with Congressman Steve Israel (D-Huntington) proposes $65 million in funding per year through 2020 for a water quality and shore restoration program and additional focus, oversight and coordination of federal activities related to the restoration of the Sound.

Over the years, the Long Island Sound has suffered severely from issues such as pollution, overdevelopment and the dumping of dredged materials. It’s important that this bill be passed to ensure our waterways are

media

preserved for generations to come. · Improving the management of our fisheries, by passing the EEZ Transit Zone Clarification Act (H.R. 3070) and Fluke Fairness Bill (H.R. 1888). Recreational and commercial fishing is one of the many great things about life, industry and culture here on Long Island.

Both of my bills, H.R. 3070 and H.R. 1888, would make important reforms to our current fisheries laws to reinvigorate the rapidly fading traditional heritage of saltwater fishing on Long Island and elsewhere, while sacrificing none of the environmental and economic benefits of continuing to rebuild coastal fish stocks.

I will keep working in Congress to make sure these two bills pass the House.

With the valuable natural resources we treasure on Long Island comes a great responsibility to protect them. There is much more work still ahead to safeguard our environment, water quality, natural resources and way of life.

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), an Army veteran who serves as a major in the Army Reserves, represents the 1st Congressional District of New York. In Congress, two of Lee Zeldin’s committee assignments are Veterans’ Affairs and Foreign Affairs.

BODY Continued from page A1 Austricio Ramirez, handed the controls over to his instructor.

The National Transportation Safety Board released a report two weeks later that said the aircraft, flying at about 2,000 feet, had low amounts of fuel and had been operating for about five hours since last having its tank filled. The engine eventually lost power and the instructor, 36-year-old Queens resident Nelson Gomez, tried to head for the shoreline, but it was too dark to see it. That’s when the instructor landed the plane on the water, and told his passengers to take a life vest and exit the plane. However, according to the NTSB report, they were not wearing the vests when they got out of the plane, which floated for about five minutes before sinking nose-first.

Emergency personnel rescued Ramirez, Gomez and a third man, Wady Perez, a 25-year-old from Queens. But the fourth passenger, 23-year-old Queens man Gerson Salmon-Negron, is still missing.

Emergency responders investigate the plane in the aftermath of its emergency landing.

CRASH Continued from page A1

$100,000. His next court date is scheduled for April 19. Romeo also pleaded not guilty to two counts of driving while intoxicated and one charge of driving while ability impaired by alcohol on Wednesday and was released with his next court date set for April 26.

“I think they may have been somewhat surprised,” Spota said when family members of the victims were notified that Pino, and not Romeo, would be indicted as a result of the crash.

“They either expected that it

would be the other way around, that Romeo would be the party who would be completely at fault, or perhaps it was just a totally unavoidable accident.

Indeed, what the grand jury has found out is that it was totally unavoidable, only as to Romeo, but not as to Pino.”

At the scene, Pino had told police he did not see any oncoming traffic, Spota said. But the subsequent investigation revealed why.

The county had been investigating the crash over recent months, and on Wednesday, the DA announced that while Romeo may have been driving while impaired, the risky U-turn still made it nearly im-

possible for the collision to be avoided. The grand jury conducted a five-hour investigation of the crash and found that Pino had “limited sight lines looking into westbound traffic” because a Jeep Liberty was positioned in the intersection waiting to turn left onto Depot Lane, Spota said in a statement.

Spota said the Jeep Liberty “completely blocked the limo driver’s view of the oncoming traffic in the main travel lanes.”

And despite the fact that the main westbound travel lanes were not visible, the DA said Pino failed to take any precaution to make sure he could safely enter the westbound travel lanes and

he continued to make the U-turn.

“A perfectly sober Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash.

An intoxicated Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash. It was simply unavoidable from Romeo’s perspective,” Spota said. “Romeo can be held criminally responsible for driving while intoxicated but he cannot be held criminally responsible for the crash.”

Southold Police Chief Martin Flatley said during the press conference that unfortunately many limo drivers exiting Vineyard 48 in Cutchogue try to make the dangerous left Uturn that ended up being fatal, because it is the fastest route to head back west.

“There are other ways to head back west, but that’s the easiest way for them to do it,” Flatley said.

There is now a traffic light at that intersection, Flatley said.

Spota said Romeo was heading west at about 55 miles per hour when the crash occurred.

He did not see the limo enter the intersection until he was about 200 feet away, the district attorney said.

“Mr. Romeo had only 200 feet to react to the hazard he saw, and stop his vehicle,” Spota said. “Traveling at 55 mph, it would have taken 1.6 seconds to perceive the limo in his path, to realize he must apply his brakes,

and then to begin braking. This would leave Romeo with even less distance, 129 feet, to avoid a crash — impossible for him to do. In fact our experts tell us that at 55 mph it would have taken anyone 263 feet to stop and avoid the crash.”

After investigating the crash, Spota said the incident was “unavoidable,” thus keeping a grand jury from indicting Romeo for vehicular manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide.

Belli, Baruch and Schulman were all decorated members of the national and language honor societies by the time they graduated from Smithtown High School West. Over the summer, schools Superintendent James Grossane said Belli, a 2010 graduate, had an infectious smile and was an enthusiastic student and member of the district’s championship kickline team. Baruch, a 2009 graduate, was best known for her booming laugh and unforgettable smile, Grossane said.

Schulman, he said, was another 2010 graduate and had a profound love for her family.

Grabina graduated in 2010 from Commack High School and went on to pursue accounting at Florida State University, ultimately landing a job at Ernst & Young in Tallahassee, Fla. Alex Petroski contributed to this report.

PEOPLE Creative seats for pediatric patients

Minnesauke Elementary School and P.J. Gelinas Junior High School recently collaborated on an artistic project, one aimed at brightening the days of long-term pediatric patients at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital.

Members of the schools’ National Junior Art Honor Societies, with the help of the junior high school technology club, created heavy-duty, wooden, lily pad-shaped platforms for the bottoms of IV stands. The pads will provide a fun surface for the children to sit and ride upon while moving through the hospital hallways, providing an alternative to traditional wheelchairs. The pads were decorated with unique and colorful designs, ranging from those showcasing favorite Disney characters to floral arrangements and graphics.

In total, the schools created 24 pads. This initiative aimed to support a national movement — The Lily Pad Project — created by a 17-year-old Washington State native who lost his battle with leukemia in February 2015.

The young skater, who has been on the ice since the age of 4, earned the top prize after completing her short program routine with finesse. As a gold-place winner, she now qualifies to compete in the 2017 State Games of America, which will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

“It was an exciting year, it was a hard year and there’s a lot of terrific moments — 18 wins in a row, winning the league, playing a home game here for the championship, cutting the nets down — so a lot of good memories.”

Warney said some of those good memories wouldn’t have happened without the staff and his teammates, but especially his coach.

OPINION EDITORIAL

A rush to judgment

Last week it was confirmed that Steven Romeo, the allegedly intoxicated pickup truck driver involved in the fatal Cutchogue limo crash in July, was not going to be charged with manslaughter.

We’re sure this came as a shock to many people, who had written off Romeo as guilty as soon as it was reported that he had been drinking the day he T-boned the limo in a crash that killed four young North Shore women on a wine tour and injured several others.

Referring to limo driver Carlos F. Pino’s risky U-turn that put that vehicle directly into Romeo’s path, Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota confirmed last week, “A perfectly sober Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash. An intoxicated Steven Romeo could not avoid this crash. It was simply unavoidable from Romeo’s perspective.”

Pino will be charged with manslaughter for his dangerous maneuver.

But some damage may have already been done in Romeo’s case.

News outlets and some North Shore residents vilified the man long before the DA’s report was finalized. It’s no doubt a gut reaction for people to assume a drunk driver is at fault in a car crash, but this shows us why we should not be so quick to jump to conclusions. Sober people make mistakes or reckless maneuvers on the road every day, and this limo crash is an example of that.

The American criminal justice system is set up so that every citizen is innocent until proven guilty, and we should all keep that in mind for instances like this. No matter the mistakes or poor decisions a person has made, that person deserves fair, unbiased treatment.

That goes for the courtroom as well as the public and the press.

All are innocent until proven guilty.

Symbol of our thanks TO ThE EDITOR: The following letter was sent to Three Village Central School District Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Jeff Carlson: We recently received our Property Tax Freeze Credit from the state Department of Taxation and Finance. As we did last year, we would like to donate our credit to the district. While we could certainly use the money, we are appalled by the damage the ongoing property tax cap is doing and will continue to do to the services the district can provide to our students.

Farewell, good luck TO ThE EDITOR: For 11 years we’ve watched and sometimes been there as Steve Pikiell built a Stony Brook University Basketball program to the point where the Seawolves were among the top handful of basketball powerhouse universities in the NCAA tournamentw last week.

now that the tax cap is nothing more than a politically-motivated attack on public schools and public-employee unions. NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo has received over $5 million in campaign contributions from a number of billionaire hedge-fund managers over the past decade. These donors are just salivating at the thought of getting their hands on what they see as the multi-billion dollar education “market.” What better way to achieve their aims than by promoting a false narrative of “failing” public schools, and then making that lie a reality by starving the schools for funding? Our children are not items on a balance sheet or income statement,

and we will not stand idly by and watch this private takeover of our public schools.

Please accept our small donation as a symbol of our thanks, and our hope that the tide will soon turn and sanity will be restored to education policy and funding in New York State. We hope other community members will join us in this action. We also hope that those with children in grades 3-8 will choose to refuse the state tests for their children, as those tests are nothing more than another instrument in the privatizers’ toolbox.

Shawn heilbron, who now will lead the way to identifying a new coach for the Seawolves, to identifying ‘a world-class coach who shares our vision to positively transform the life of each student-athlete and win at the highest level.’

And, a thought for Steve from chamber executive director David Woods, who’s sort of a historian of the “old days’’ at SBU, 17 years ago, when David was assistant to the president there: ‘Way back, there was

an indication of where great coaches go from Stony Brook. One of our first was a young Rollie Massimino, now 81, who left here to go to Villanova, where he built the number one basketball team in the nation.’

May Steve Pikiell have the same success at Rutgers.

o more allowances. We want our children to eat, sleep and live well.

Do we set a good example for our offspring? We know that what we do is more important than what we say. Do we want them to text or talk on the phone when they’re driving?

Of course not. Do we engage in either activity when they’re in the car? All the time. When

you’re at the next stop sign or red light, look at the cars coming toward you. How many of those people are on the phone?

Put down that phone! It’s not only safer for you, but it also gives your kids the right idea.

OK, sorry, teachers this next one isn’t aimed at all of you. I’m tired of reading all the deductions on my son’s and daughter’s homework assignments from teachers whose writing deserves demerits.

Sure, we all make mistakes and, yes, we can’t be right all the time. But this is ridiculous.

The directions contain numerous errors. Are teachers setting the right example when they misspell words, repeat a word or — gasp — use the incorrect form of your? They should take an extra second to edit and proofread the material they give their students. The message the children get when they read their teachers’ writing is that grammar, word choice and rules of writing are only

important for students and for grades and don’t count, even inside the classroom. Children can spot hypocrisy from across the school.

Years ago, at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School, my seventhgrade math teacher, Mr. Braun, said we’d get an extra five points if we spotted an error in anything he did. He was challenging us and himself and was helping us learn — and benefit — from his mistakes. Did he not make errors because he knew we were watching carefully or did he only make that deal with us because he didn’t make many mistakes? Either way, we paid closer attention to his — and our — work.

OK, teachers, relax. I admire what you do and I appreciate the effort you put into your work. I know you have thousands of pages to grade. If you believe your writing matters, please lead by example.

Then there are coaches. We volunteers face a difficult task.

We stand in front of a group of restless kids who want to score the winning basket, make their parents proud and be a hero.

Everyone can’t play in every inning or in every second. We have difficult decisions. We also deal with parents who make unrealistic requests: “Yes, coach, can my daughter please bat first on Tuesday night games because she needs to leave early those nights.”

The kids watch us carefully, not only to see if we approve of how they do, but also to see how we react to difficult situations.

We’ve coached in games where the other coach, the players on the other team or the referees are violating some written or unwritten sporting code. Maybe the other coach has told his pitchers not to throw strikes because it’s getting darker. If we can’t finish the game, the score reverts to the earlier inning when they were winning. This isn’t a hypothetical — I know of at least one case where this happened.

hen I was a small child and had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I would put the light on and one of the first things I would see were two sets of false teeth sitting in small glasses of water on the shelf above the sink.

The teeth belonged to my mother and father, and I knew they took them out of their mouths before

they went to bed and replaced them in the morning. So routine was this occurrence to me that I spent many minutes at a time searching my mouth with my fingers for the lever that would allow me to remove my teeth.

Finally I asked my parents, who clued me in to the eventual failings of teeth. I was, after all, the child of two sets of ancestors who had faulty choppers. Again, I just accepted this as the natural course of my life. One day I thought I would be toothless, too, except for a few lucky strays that remained in mouth.

Fast-forward more than half a century, and I still have almost all of my teeth. How did that enormous change come about?

Dentistry is an area of health delivery that doesn’t get its proper due for the enormous advances from which we have benefited.

around the world is the root canal procedure.

Now getting a root canal is a least favorite activity and deservedly so. But the journalist in me wants to tell the other side of the story, just to be fair. The patient I have been numerous times wants to salute the researchers and clinicians in dentistry. And although I am sitting at my keyboard in some pain at the moment from part one of a root canal procedure, which is what brought this subject to mind, I want to express my gratitude.

What exactly is a root canal procedure?

Although it’s not particularly difficult to understand, nonetheless it took centuries to invent. As I understand it, bacteria from a crack in the top of a tooth can get into the pulp below the naturally occurring enamel crown and cause an infection. Even if there is no infection, cold or heat or air can cause the nerves inside the

tooth to register pain, which is an alarm.

The roots of the tooth have tiny canals in them in which the nerves reside. If the source of the intrusion that has stimulated the nerve cannot be repaired with a filling over the top of the tooth, then the pulpy decay below the enamel has to be cleaned out and the nerves have to be silenced to stop the pain. That is the function of the root canal procedure. After the nerves are removed, along with the site of any infection, the canals are filled with a sealer paste and rubber compound and covered with a dental cement to protect them from saliva.

All of the above is the job of the endodontist or specialist who uses the sophisticated tools high tech has invented to make this delicate procedure possible and the anesthetic to make it bearable.

The patient must then go on, typically to another dentist, to have a crown or cap precisely fitted over

Do we set a good example for our offspring?

We could get angry, shout and throw equipment on the field.

Is that the kind of behavior we should allow ourselves? Are we teaching our children how to deal with adversity? Do our allowances lead to their allowances later in life? Are we dooming them to repeat the actions we’re not proud of in the future?

Maybe one of the toughest parts about being a parent is learning how to grow beyond the limitations we’ve carried with us from childhood. Some of those spring from our adult allowances. How about if we take a moment to recognize the allowances we make for ourselves. That could be constructive for us and for the little eyes that record everything we do on their own version of YouTube.

Many millions of people have benefited from the root canal procedure. the top of the tooth to replace the natural enamel. Crowns used to be made optimally of gold, but are now form-fitted with synthetic material that can be tinted the same color as the rest of the teeth, if necessary.

Interestingly, as a friend pointed out, there is something funny about the semantics involved. One goes to get “a root canal” even though one doesn’t receive “an appendix” but an appendectomy, nor “a tonsils” but a tonsillectomy. Perhaps the dental procedure should be called a “nerve homicide,” but that would only add more fear to an already fearful procedure.

Well, that’s about the only funny aspect of this vital but stilldreaded tooth rescue.

Salute the Seawolves After elimination, team reflects on making history, dream season that ends with coaching change

By Desirée Keegan

Steve Pikiell had high hopes for this season, and full confidence that this would be a special year.

The Stony Brook men’s basketball head coach was right — the Seawolves made it all the way to the NCAA tournament for the first time as a Division I team. And even though they suffered a first-round elimination, members of the team and its fans said they would remember the experience as one of great success.

“I knew it would happen — you’ve got to have a special group,” said Pikiell.

He recognized the talent in his seniors, and the group that came together over four years to break through to the Round of 64 in the NCAA tournament.

Just a few years ago, it was difficult to fill

Pritchard Gymnasium with 1,000 people.

This season, the now-named Island Federal Credit Union Arena sold out. Some of those dedicated fans stuck by the team, though, in good times and bad.

And those were the fans who sat on the steps in front of the arena after their loss, anxiously waiting for their historymaking America East conference champions to arrive. Despite the plane landing late, devotees waited for one last warm welcome, and honored the Seawolves who brought them so much joy this season with chants of “S-B-U.” “We’ve looked forward to this for many, many years, so it’s a great success,” said Sam DiCanio II, of Stony Brook, who has been watching the team since his 9-year-old son was in the womb. “It was a tough draw, Kentucky is a tough team, but we showed that

we’re on the right path.”

No. 13 Stony Brook may have fallen, 8557, to No. 4-seeded University of Kentucky last Thursday night in a game shown on CBS TV, but fans didn’t drop them. “[Playing against] Kentucky was good for us for the experience and for all the players and recruits to see us with all of our pros,” DiCanio’s young son said. “The excitement in that final home game was amazing.”

Followers felt the stadium rocking.

“No one was sitting,” said Maureen Zajac, a graduate of Stony Brook who lives in Shoreham with her 11–year-old son Anthony.

The two have been season ticket holders for two years now, and Zajac said she was overcome with emotion because of how far the team has come.

“Every day you read the newspaper and you cry. It’s fantastic. We’re so proud of them,” she said, holding up a banner. “We wrote we’re so proud because we’ve got to celebrate. They did an amazing job this year. The boys are amazing. They’re excellent role models.”

The class act trio of seniors waved hello to fans as they exited the bus, and waved goodbye to the end of a historic run — and the end of their Seawolves careers.

Warney, a three-time America East Player of the Year who scored a career-high 43 points in his last home game of his college career and 23 points and 15 rebounds in the Round of 64 contest, said he appreciates those fans who stuck around not just on that March 18 evening, but over the last four years.

“It was a long, hard season,” Warney said. “The heartbreaks, the adversity and

the success. The community has been behind us for the last four years and they’ve been through a lot of heartbreaks, too, and everyone has just come back stronger and more supportive and it keeps us balanced. They make Stony Brook a hard place to play at.”

But the team, and especially Warney, who accounted for his 21st double-double of the season and 60th of his career, is what put Stony Brook on the map.
