Stony Brook’s Quaker Path resurfaced Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel Losquadro (R) and Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) recently announced the completion of the resurfacing of Quaker Path in Stony Brook, from Route 25A to the Old Field Village Line, just south of West Meadow Road. The total cost for this extensive paving project, along a nearly two-mile stretch of roadway, was $413,000. Crews replaced 240 square feet of aprons, nearly 300 linear feet of curbing, 1,350 square feet of sidewalk, and installed three, new ADAcompliant handicap ramps. “Quaker Path is a main arterial roadway, leading to both Stony Brook Univer-

sity and the Long Island Rail Road Stony Brook train station,” said Losquadro. “I am glad that we were able to provide relief for residents, motorists and pedestrians in this area, while removing this roadway from our high priority list.” “Numerous residents have contacted my office requesting that Quaker Path be paved,” said Cartright. “I am happy that Superintendent Losquadro and I can announce the completion of this paving project, which alleviates major quality of life concerns in this neighborhood. I look forward to continuing to work with the community and the Highway Department to improve roadways in our town.”

Valedictorian recognizes the importance of failure By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com For Ward Melville’s valedictorian Kirti Nath, the importance of failure has been her biggest lesson during high school. “The thing I can take away most, more than anything, is failure is progress, and you have to go with the flow,” she said in a phone interview. “When things happen to you, they may be a blessing in disguise, or they’re just part of the whole process.” While Nath may recognize the value of failure in life, her high school career has been filled with many successes. In addition to taking advanced placement classes and a 106.52 average, she was involved in the school’s Science Olympiad program and was captain her senior year. She was editorin-chief of the school newspaper and also a member of the Spanish Honor Society and National Honor Society. She said some of her best memories from Ward Melville are her times with the Science Olympiad team, especially when they qualified for nationals in 2016 after not expecting to. She said there was a point this year where they thought they were behind, so the members put in extra time working on the competition. They scheduled seven practices, some as long as three hours, in a span of eight days. “The team became more of a family than a team,” she said. Gary Vorwald, Nath’s Science Olympiad coach when she attended P.J. Gelinas Junior High School, said he saw how driven

For the category, students need to identify the source of a disease and how it

spreads. He said while in high school, she came back to Gelinas to coach the junior high team in the same category, and she has the work ethic and people skills needed to succeed in the future. “Everything she does, she does with passion, with enthusiasm,” Vorwald said. Nath said science happens to be one of

her biggest interests. Earlier in high school, entomology, the science of insects, intrigued her, and then in her sophomore and junior years, she began working at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University as a research assistant in a lab, which led to her senior year project. “My senior year project involved studying the effects of pharmaceutical pollution on fish at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences,” she said. “So I got to work a lot with fish — which was very challenging but super fun.” Working with zebra fish embryos, and common antidepressants such as Prozac and Wellbutrin, the valedictorian said she discovered that when found in water, the drugs affect the respiration rate of the fish depending on the concentration of the prescription. This fall Nath will enroll in the dual degree Life Sciences and Management program at the University of Pennsylvania, which the college’s arts and sciences department and the Wharton School of Business administer jointly. “I really like the way the program is structured,” she said. “It offers a breadth of study that doesn’t pigeonhole you into looking into a specific thing right out of high school.” Nath said she’s excited to see what areas she becomes passionate about while studying at the University of Pennsylvania. “In college I’ll figure out what I’m most interested in, right now it’s probably more science related but it could change as I move forward,” the valedictorian said.

High school names aspiring journalist salutatorian By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com Ward Melville High School’s salutatorian Isabelle Scott dreams of traveling all over the world one day, and if the budding journalist gets her way, readers will be experiencing her adventures with her in print. Scott will attend Brown University this fall and major in journalism — a field she said she believes will satisfy her love for travel. “I didn’t want to get in the position of being at a desk job from nine to five,” she said.

“I appreciate routine, but I don’t think I can stick with something like that for my whole life. I write a lot and it wasn’t something I wanted to give up, so I figured journalism was the best way to mix those two interests.” Scott said her education at Ward Melville has prepared her for her future endeavors. Originally a student at The Laurel Hill School, she started her studies in the Three Village school district at P.J. Gelinas Junior High School and graduates from Ward Melville with a 105.1 grade point average. Besides taking advanced placement classes in all four main core areas, she’s been involved in Art Honor Society, mock trial club, French Honor Society and National Honor Society. Outside of school, she has sung with her youth choir at church and volunteered as a counselor and tutor at the local Boys and Girls Club as well as taken kickboxing and dancing classes. Despite all the preparation for a college education, Scott said she won’t know just how well prepared she is until she is actually experiencing it even though her friends who graduated from Ward Melville before her have given her confidence. “It’s hard to tell until you get there, but all of my friends who are already in college said they felt very prepared, particularly for the workload,” she said in a phone interview. After college, Scott said she would love to go abroad and report from different coun-

tries, but not from war zones, as she said she is a pacifist. The budding journalist said she would love to do culture segment stories similar to the ones she sees in National Geographic or Time Magazine, reporting on ordinary life in various countries. While she hopes one day to work for The New York Times, she said she is aware that the publishing world is constantly changing with the digital arena. Wherever her journalism studies take her, Scott said she sees herself doing a lot of traveling and immersing herself in a country and its culture to produce original work. When it comes to communicating abroad, the salutatorian said she already knows a good amount of French, and she said when she feels more comfortable with the language she would like to study Spanish and Mandarin. “I think it’s helpful to learn as many languages as you can,” she said. While she said she has a lot of good memories from her time in Three Village, she said many occurred in ninth grade, including painting a mural in Gelinas with fellow students and visiting her English teacher’s office. “I had an English teacher Ms. Cadolino, and one day I brought a bean bag chair into her office, and we used to just sit,” she said. “I would come to her for writing advice, and we would just talk. She was very much a

history close at hand Fictional story inspires reality-based projects by beverly C. Tyler This is the fourth season for the AMC drama TURN, the story of the Revolutionary War spy ring based in Setauket. However, it takes a great deal of effort to separate the drama from the accurate history. There is a wealth of primary documents that exist concerning the Culper Spy Ring. There are letters, journals and diaries in the Library of Congress as well as maps, letters, journals and other records in collections on Long Island, in Connecticut, and other states and countries that help to tell the exciting true story of the contributions of the men and women who risked their lives to provide General George Washington with vital information that helped him win the war and gain independence from Great Britain. Long Island, and especially Setauket, were so uniquely placed that this highly accurate and credible intelligence activity could not have occurred anywhere else. True, there were many spies and spy rings that operated during the Revolutionary War, but there was only one spy group, the Culper Spy Ring, that provided General Washington with consistently accurate and important intelligence, and they did it quietly and efficiently over great distances with near perfect secrecy. Washington, credited even by British intelligence sources as the 18th century’s

Following the ideas suggested to him by Nathaniel Sackett, his civilian intelligence expert, Washington inserted spies into the very center of the British military encampment in New York City.

Abraham Woodhull and Robert Townsend, code names Samuel Culper Senior and Samuel Culper Junior, posed as Loyalists and provided on-going intelligence on the makeup and activities of British military forces. Major Benjamin Tallmadge, Washington’s intelligence chief by October, 1778,

selected his boyhood friend and Setauket resident Abraham Woodhull to head the Setauket-based Culper spy ring. Woodhull was strategically placed as a Long Island farmer with a sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Amos Underhill, running a boarding house in New York City, a perfect cover for a spy spending a few days in Manhattan gathering intelligence. Woodhull operated this way until June of 1779, when he recruited Robert Townsend, a Manhattan businessman and patriot, who took over as the resident spy in New York City. Supporting Woodhull were a group of well-placed Setauket friends, in many cases first or second cousins, who made the spy ring function. Caleb Brewster, who carried messages across Long Island Sound to Benjamin Tallmadge had already been crossing the Devil’s Belt (Long Island Sound) and spying on British activity on Long Island when Tallmadge recruited him to work with Woodhull. Anna Smith Strong, strategically based on Strong’s Neck, was easily able to coordinate communication between Woodhull’s frequent trips to New York and Brewster’s forays across the Sound. Significantly, it was the couriers, Stony Brook merchant Jonas Hawkins and Setauket tavern keeper Austin Roe who had the extremely dangerous task of bringing information from New York City to Setauket.

Brookhaven Town web servers Bicyclist crossing Route 347 in hacked by pro-ISIS group East Setauket hit by two cars 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 SuPage A26 pervisor Dan Panico (R-Manorville). The antiAmerican group created a page with hateful propaganda against the USA and the president of the United States. Panico and Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) addressed the incident during a press conference at Town Hall June 26. The group, called Team System DZ created a link using the Brookhaven Town servers to a static, look-alike webpage at the address http:// www.brookhavenny.gov/index.html, and posted it on the group’s Facebook page with the message “Government sites continue to be fondled,” in Arabic, according to Google Translate. The standard www.brookhavenny. gov website was not impacted and the propaganda page was not visible anywhere on the site, though “out of an abundance of caution,” the town server has been quarantined and the town webpage was taken down. The website was restored as of Tuesday afternoon. The propaganda page has been taken down and currently lists an error message. “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 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.

by Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com A South Setauket resident was seriously injured after he was hit by two cars while riding a bike across Nesconset Highway near Walmart in East Setauket just before 11 a.m. June 26, according to Suffolk County Police.

Eugene Free

Eugene Free of Port Jefferson, known on the radio as Gene Michaels, died June 21 at the age of 60 following a hard-fought battle with cancer. Friends and colleagues remember Gene as a gifted broadcaster and cherished boss, co-worker and family man with a big heart of gold. On Long Island, Gene will best be remembered for his days on the air and as vice president of programming and marketing at WALK FM 97.5 where he impressively delivered number one ratings throughout the 1990s. More recently Gene had been a reporter and anchor for 1010 WINS. Gene began his career in northeastern Pennsylvania where he grew up with his family of six brothers and sisters in Carbondale. After successfully programming WEJL and WGBI-FM there, he moved to Westchester County, New York, in 1987 to be the program director of WFAS-FM and that’s where he met his future wife, the former Stephanie Gandert.

bethel aMe Church celebrates milestone

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) and Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) were on hand to celebrate the 170th Anniversary of the Bethel AME Church in Setauket. The Three Village community joined in, taking part in a day of family, food, faith and friendship. The church, which is located in the heart of the Bethel/Christian Avenue Historic District, is an established community landmark. It has long been active in the Three Village area and beyond with its programming, community outreach events, missionary work and countless other projects. “The Bethel AME Church has such a rich history in Brookhaven town with deep spiritual and social roots that go back many

The problem for AMC’s television series TURN was the level of drama surrounding the men and women who conducted this espionage for almost five years. They had to find a way to make it more exciting for the television viewers, and they did it by ramping up the level of sex and violence. Most of the created relationships are not even close to portraying accurate representations of the people involved. Does it matter? Yes. Does it detract from the significant story of the Culper Spy Ring? Yes. However, as I noted at the beginning of the first season of TURN in 2014, it provides an opportunity for historians, docents and re-enactors to tell the “real” story to the hundreds of people each week, who are now interested in learning more about Setauket and the Culper Spy Ring because of TURN. And maybe, just maybe, that is a realistic outcome. Telling the “real” story is definitely now an important responsibility. The sudden popularity of the Setauketbased Culper Spy Ring, the Revolutionary War, and the men and women involved has

generations,” Romaine said. “Their service to the people of the community has left an indelible mark that continues to make our town a better place to live.” Cartright also spoke at the event. “This is a truly endearing event, and I am fortunate to be a part of this momentous occasion,” Cartright said. “Bethel’s church historians, Carlton ‘Hub’ Edwards and Dr. Robert Lewis, are inspiring. They have knit together the family stories and continue to help preserve the truth for the community. What Bethel AME refers to as their ‘Legacy of Survival’ is a tale that all should hear.” Bethel AME Church Setauket is located at 33 Christian Avenue. For more information on service schedules, programs or to learn about the long march through their 170- year history, call 631-751-4140.

led to a plethora of books, articles, films and plays. Some are excellent, such as the Broadway show “Hamilton” and the book by Ron Chernow that the musical is based on. Unfortunately, too many other books and media presentations, designed for both adults and children, have suddenly been rushed into print with little emphasis on good historical research and accuracy. On a positive note, many more people will now be introduced to the “real” story here in print, through the audio presentations of the North Shore Heritage Alliance, the video and film productions of the Times Beacon Record Newspaper, on local walking tours conducted by the Three Village Historical Society, and the society’s exhibit SPIES! How a Group of Long Island Patriots Helped George Washington Win the Revolution. Take advantage of these offerings and learn how exciting history can be when it is told as accurately as possible as a dramatic story of the people who lived it. Beverly Tyler is Three Village Historical Society historian and author of books available from the society at 93 North Country Road, Setauket.

North Country Patriots request evidence

Image from Facebook

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

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

In her letter printed in the June 1 edition of The Village Times Herald (“Attacks on liberals not fake news”), Susan Blake, a member of the North Country Peace Group, made rather malicious allegations against the North Country Patriots. She claimed the Patriots hurled “catcalls”, “obscenities” and insults at “every person standing across the street from them” during our weekly rallies on the corner of Bennetts Road and Route 25A in East Setauket. We’d like the following facts to be noted: Recently, certain members of the North Country Peace Group attempted to limit our speech, two times complaining to police we needed a permit to use audio equipment (megaphones) on the corner. Research confirmed we’d breached no ordinance. We highlight this because at no time in multiple discussions with the officers, was there any mention of the “vile” behavior alluded to by Ms. Blake. Also, unbeknownst to us, writers from VTH have attended Peace Group demonstrations. Yet no VTH story ever reported the alleged outrages. Reporters were, however, able to see and hear our group strongly favored by positive responses from passing motorists. Perhaps that helped move a VTH sister newspaper, The Village Beacon Record, to name the North Country Patriots its People of the Year in Civics in 2010. In order to stay away from an endless “she said”, “we said” scenario, we feel the following is an appropriate, equitable way to put this to rest. We ask that Ms. Blake present specific audio/visual proof of her claims. We do this knowing two things.

A member of the North Country Patriots at a recent rally. In the past, when the Peace Group took offense to something they’d seen on the north side, they almost immediately made a visual record or recording of it. Some of those images appeared on these pages. Ms. Blake not to be outdone, in a Sept. 29 letter published in VTH, “A commute with a whimsical feature,” stated, while stuck in traffic, she took pictures in search of the “perfect” bumper sticker. She boasted, “All have been documented on my iPhone.” Therefore it would seem safe to assume, having claimed to suffer so egregiously and apparently over some extended time, she would have recorded the alleged misconduct. So we invite Ms. Blake to bring any iPhone recordings to VTH so we might reach proper closure. If Susan Blake can produce the kind specific, definitive proof

in this matter, that she was so willing to offer for something “whimsical,” we’d like to see it. Should she do that, we’ll properly admonish anyone on our side who behaved in the manner she’s alleged. If she can’t, we’d suggest the paper, short of her apology, disavow what could pass for a damaging letter.

Scholarship memorializes loved one I would like to thank The Village Times Herald for publishing a short invitation to offer scholarships to graduating seniors in the March 16 issue (“High School requests scholarships”). When I read the article, it seemed like an excellent opportunity to recognize a graduate for many years of hard work and to memorialize my husband, Cornelius F. Cash.

I attended the awards ceremony for the first time since my three children graduated in the 1980s. It was thrilling to see so many young people being recognized and, of course, the jazz band was outstanding. It was a pleasure to meet the young recipient of the award in my husband’s name. Funding a scholarship is a great way for the community to

support our high school and the many fine educators who contribute to the success of our children. I urge my fellow Three Villagers, local groups and businesses to consider funding a scholarship as a way to memorialize a loved one and to advertise commitment to the community.

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

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

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

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

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