STRESS, HORMONES & HEALTH

The Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Educational & Cultural Heritage Center in Stony Brook will be hosting two upcoming events as the organization continues to honor the life and inventions of Nikola Tesla, following the exhibit entitled “Tesla — Past, Present, Future.” The Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, which sponsored the exhibit is expanding its reach and trying to get others interested in its new museum in Shoreham, which is in the works.

The two upcoming events will showcase two of the exhibit’s most compelling features.

First, the film “Tower to the People” will be presented Aug. 19 from 8 to 11 p.m. This awardwinning film about Tesla’s famous wireless transmitting tower will include a Q&A with

filmmaker Joe Sikorski, as well as a premier of his upcoming movie “The Invisible Threads,” based on Tesla’s lesser known work in wireless technology. Tickets can be purchased for $10 at www.eventbrite.com under “Tower to the People” or for $15 at the door. The center is located at 97 Main Street, Stony Brook.

On Aug. 27 at 2 p.m., the exhibit will feature a presentation by Sebastian White, a physicist and great-grandson of Stanford White, the renowned architect who designed and built Wardenclyffe, Tesla’s last existing laboratory and current headquarters of the Tesla Science Center. White will speak about Tesla and his connections with Long Island cultural figures and the international science community. There is no cost to attend.

Festival celebrates Jewish unity at West Meadow Beach

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM The eighth annual Jewish Summer Festival at West Meadow Beach Aug. 9 brought together members of the North Shore Jewish community for a night of family fun.

Chabad at Stony Brook hosted the event that is co-directed by Rabbi Motti and Chaya Grossbaum. The rabbi said the festival was originally organized to celebrate Jewish pride and community, and like the Chabad, is open to all members of all sects of the religion. He estimated about 500 people attended this year’s festival including local residents outside of the Jewish community.

“We focus on what unites us not what divides us,” Rabbi Grossbaum said.

This was the second year Jennifer O’Brien from Hauppauge attended the festival with her family, she said, and it was the first time she brought her 16-monthold son Everett to a Jewish cultural event.

She enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces at the festival after attending other Chabad events this past year.

She said she admired the efforts of the Grossbaums and Rabbi Cohen of the Chabad regarding the festival and the religious organization.

“No matter what your Jewish affiliation is or how much or little you are involved, the Grossbaum and Cohen families welcome everyone with such an overwhelming warm and loving sense of acceptance and togetherness,” O’Brien said. “They go above and beyond in all of their community efforts and take pride in building relationships with each individual and family.”

Tracey Mackey of Port Jefferson Station said she was unable to attend last year but her family did. She said after hearing about it she was looking forward to seeing friends and meeting new families. She said her daughter Ava, 11, helped out at the Chabad’s camp this summer and the children were so happy to see her.

“It was so wonderful because they had camp all summer, and they worked together on their crafts, and it was kind of a celebration that you get to see someone you really created a bond with,” Mackey said.

Mackey echoed O’Brien’s sentiments about the feel of the festival and the Chabad.

“That’s what Rabbi Motti likes to do — bring everyone together as a community,” Mackey said, “And when you’re there, you know you belong.”

The evening included performances by the popular Jewish rock band Soulfarm, and the high-energy group Industrial Rhythm.

Children were able to get their faces painted and play in a bounce house, and kosher barbecue, cotton candy and ices were served.

Mackey said the event was perfectly timed to witness the sunset at the beach. Grossbaum was grateful for the various local businesses that sponsored the festival and “without them we would not be able to produce such a beautiful event.”

The rabbi said he hoped attendees left the festival feeling inspired and empowered about the future of the Jewish community on the North Shore of Suffolk County.

“We’re a minority but when we all come together it gives everyone a sense of pride and a sense of positivity that we could be a more active community while living here,” Grossbaum said.

A grand slam of tennis history in Three Village

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM The first tournament of the U.S. Open is scheduled for Aug. 28, but Flushing Meadows isn’t the only place in New York filled with tennis history. Since 1959, the Three Village Tennis Club on Main Street in Setauket has provided lifelong memories for its members.

Susan Falvey’s parents, Marta and Andy Kevey, were founding members of the club.

She said the women would organize bake sales, fashion shows and dances to raise money, while the men helped maintain the property and the original court. In 1959, yearly dues were $15 for children, $25 for adults and $50 for families.

To her, the spot is a hidden treasure.

“The club is still very active today,” Falvey said. “It’s very simple — we don’t have a clubhouse or anything, but the courts are still in good condition.”

Falvey has fond memories playing as a child at the club and then afterwards riding bikes with friends along Main Street to go to the Jack in the Box near where the Setauket Fire Department firehouse is located today.

In an essay about the club, Andy Kevey wrote of the founding members securing a single tennis court, donated by The Setauket Neighborhood House located behind a barn.

“That old cracked asphalt court went through three metamorphosis each year: tennis court, to basketball court, to ice skating rink,” he wrote. “It had a net for tennis, two baskets for practicing shooting and 6-inch raised borders that allowed it to be flooded in the winter.”

The club hasn’t changed much through the decades, except for the number of courts and who can join. As the population in the area grew in the 1960s, the club limited its membership to residents of the Three Village Central School District.

As the club evolved, six green clay HarTru courts were added, and the original asphalt-based court was eventually converted to clay in the 1980s, as water doesn’t drain properly on a harder court. Once the asphalt court was converted to clay, interested players were able to join quicker. Before that, there was a five-year wait.

Wayne Mercer, who joined the club in the late 1980s and has served various positions on the board, remembers due to spacing issues that affected play, court four was moved away from court three and seven away from six. Improvements were also made so the courts would drain better.

“Courts that no one wanted to play on became very playable,” he said.

Current board member Randy Conard’s mother Marion was the first president, and one of the organization’s co-founders. He said the founding of the club was a community effort, where the original board members were trying to expand the popularity of tennis in the area.

Conard said his mother, who died in 2008

at 86, played tennis for decades at the club.

His mother’s involvement, he said, “was all for the love of the community and tennis.”

Conard said members would take vacations together, going to resorts and playing tennis. Through the decades, families gathered on the club grounds for barbecues and picnics.

“It was a very tight-knit community,” he said.

Joe McDonnell moved to Setauket with his family in 1964. A preteen at the time, McDonnell said he could walk to the club by cutting through his neighbor’s backyard. He played at the Three Village Tennis Club for years and as a young man would help maintain the courts. He said his years at the club led to him teaching tennis at Harbor Hills and the Old Field Club during his time in college and graduate school, and in the late 1980s he became a member of the Three Village Tennis Club board.

“It was a club with extraordinary spirit,” McDonnell said. “Like many organizations are when they are first founded, there’s that entrepreneurial spirit.”

McDonnell said he looked up to and learned a great deal about tennis from founding member Bob Pereira, who was also his dentist.

Among the many Stony Brook University professors who were members of the club was Linwood Lee, who still teaches at the college. He said as soon as he found a home in Stony Brook he looked for a tennis club for his family to play at, and enjoyed the camaraderie at the local club.

“It’s been a wonderful place to play tennis and a wonderful place to meet friends,” Lee said.

McDonnell said the club has always helped younger players improve and employed great tennis pros. He recalled Ineke Fisher, who lived in Florida with her husband. During the summers, the couple would come to New York, and Ineke would teach at the Three Village Tennis Club while

her husband taught at the Old Field Club.

McDonnell said Ineke’s instructions were a mixture of technique and court etiquette.

Once a year the club holds a Wimbledon Woody social event using old wooden rackets like it used to in years past.

“It was a far more finessed game,” McDonnell said, recalling the days he used to only swing a wooden racket. “It was a slower game, but it required you to move a player around a court and not just overpower them.”

Another annual competition at the club is the mixed doubles Van Slyke Tournament. McDonnell said he still remembers Dr. Don Van Slyke, for whom the tournament was named. Van Slyke was a biochemist at Brookhaven National Laboratory, who played well into his 80s.

McDonnell moved to Maine six years ago, but said when he visits Long Island, he makes sure to stop and play at the club. He is considered an honorary member.

“This is a wonderful asset to the community,” he said. “It’s into another generation at this point, but it’s become very much established.”

COUNTY North Shore solar eclipse events

BY JILL WEBB

Middle Country Public Library

2017 Solar Eclipse: Celestial Event of the Century At its Centereach building, the library will be hosting a solar eclipse viewing between 1:15 and 3:45 p.m.

Along with the viewing, activities and eclipse glasses will be provided for all ages. Register for the event by calling 631-585-9393.

The sun during a solar eclipse, left, and a boy wears protective glasses, above, during a partial solar eclipse from Arlington, Virginia, in 2014.

Experts share tips to enjoy the solar eclipse

BY JILL WEBB It won’t be an average Monday, Aug. 21, this year as the moon will completely block the sun for two-and-a-half minutes.

The day marks the first total solar eclipse to happen in North America since 1979, and it’s the first one to stretch from coast to coast in 99 years. In a total solar eclipse the disk of the moon seems to entirely cover the disk of the sun. This will happen Monday on a path about 70 miles wide.

Unfortunately, Long Island isn’t on the eclipse’s path of totality, but you still will be able to see a partial eclipse. New York will have about 71 percent of the sun covered during the eclipse. At 1:24 p.m. the eclipse begins on Long Island, and will last till 4:01 p.m. The peak eclipse time is 2:46 p.m.

“I think it’s wonderful for families to experience this with their children,” NASA expert Laurie Cantillo said. “It could be an experience like this that will get a child to stop looking at a phone or tablet and look up to the sky and perhaps motivate them to want to learn more.”

Fredrick Walters, an astronomy professor at Stony Brook University, has put together a list of ways to maximize your viewing experience of the eclipse. Walters said to focus on looking at the stars emerging during the daytime, the shadow bands that will appear across the land and the changing colors as the light fades.

Most importantly, you need to have the proper viewing tool: eclipse glasses. Regular sunglasses won’t cut it, and it’s very dangerous to directly expose your eyes to the sun.

“We’ve all been taught ever since we were kids don’t ever look directly at the sun and that advice applies,” Cantillo said.

“The only time it’s safe to remove eclipse

glasses is if you’re in the path of totality, during those couple minutes of totality.”

Unprotected viewing may not cause immediate pain, but Walters said he has heard of cases of people waking up the next morning with blurry vision or blindness. Some people can recover in months to years, but it’s not worth the risk.

The professor said that these special glasses are basically pieces of Mylar foil shielding your eyes. The glasses should be from proper sources that are certified by testing organizations.

“If you have a pair of eclipse glasses and want to test them, put them on and look — not at the sun — but just look at bright lights and things.” Walters said. “If you can see anything, throw them away. You shouldn’t be able to see [anything] except the sun.”

If you can’t get a pair of eclipse glasses in time, you can DIY them by putting a small round hole in an index card and project the image of the sun onto a flat surface.

“One thing you will notice if you don’t look at the sun through your glasses is if you look at the shadows on the ground, you’ll see the shadows are crescentshaped,” Walters said.

Leaves in the trees could act as projection tools too, casting multiple tiny crescent-shaped shadows on the ground.

During the partial phase, according to Walters, you won’t notice anything besides the sun getting dimmer.

“Unless, you look at the sun through your eclipse glasses, and you can see the sun is no longer circular — there’s a chunk taken out of it,” Walters said. “But, nothing much changes until you have the total phase of the eclipse because the sun just fades.”

Viewers along the path of totality will have a different viewing experience than Long Islanders.

“Inside the path of totality is completely different, it will be night for two and a half minutes.,” Walters said. “The sun gets completely blocked out, the corona of the sun is about as bright as the full moon, that will provide illumination.”

Walters also pointed out that in the path of totality, regular colors might appear different. Where sunrises and sunsets usually appear to have reddish tints, during the eclipse the tone will have a blue tinge. Another thing to notice is temperature; during the peak eclipse things will get colder.

Eclipses have provided researchers with data to uncover scientific discoveries. This time, the scientists are letting the public partake in their findings.

“One of the things that is being planned for next Monday is the National Solar Observatory and the National Science Foundation have handed out a number of telescopes [and] cameras to people along the eclipse line,” Walters said. “The idea is to have them take pictures and movies and stitch it all together to a 90-minute-long movie of how the sun’s corona is changing.

This has never been done.”

If you miss this eclipse, don’t fret because another one is coming April 8, 2024, that will run from Texas through Maine — and upstate New York will be in the path of totality.

“It’s almost a mystical experience — you really have to experience this,” Walters said. “It’s good scientifically, but it’s really a great thing to observe on a human level.”

News 12 meteorologist Rich Hoffman said in an email that the weather forecast for Aug. 21 is good, even though things could change between press time and the eclipse. Hoffman said mostly sunny skies are expected for the day with temperature highs near 84.

Astronomy Crafts From noon to 2:00 p.m. Huntington Public Library will be offering an astronomy craft session at its main building as well as the Huntington Station branch.

One of the space-themed crafts is an eclipse on a stick. There will also be a viewing event in the afternoon at both buildings where you will receive a free pair of eclipse glasses; no registration is required. For more information, visit www.thehuntingtonlibrary.org.

Viloria-Fisher recognized by statewide agency

BY JENNA LENNON Former Suffolk County legislator and a current board member of Jefferson’s Ferry Life Plan Community, Vivian Viloria-Fisher, received a statewide award from LeadingAge New York, a nonprofit advocacy group for senior services July 18.

Daniel Heim, executive vice-president of LeadingAge New York, presented the Trustee of the Year Award which “is bestowed on those who have served unselfishly and with distinction on the board of trustees of a LeadingAge New York member organization,” according to their official website.

“We have a committee that actually evaluates all of the member award applicants that we receive, and they go through them very carefully, and they then select the individu-

als that they believe, based on the information they have, are the most appropriate recipients of the award,” Heim said. “So in this case, Vivian was one of our Trustee of the Year winners based on all the things she contributed to Jefferson’s Ferry over the years.”

“I feel like being on the board of Jefferson’s Ferry has given to me as much as I have given to it,” Fisher said upon accepting the award. “I’m part of a wonderful family.”

Viloria-Fisher first became involved with the community when she was a legislator.

She regularly attended events ranging from resident and employee recognition ceremonies to fundraisers and presentations.

“Having some place where you can age with dignity and have successful aging so that you’re active intellectually, physically, and socially is a great gift to all of us,” she said.

Town Attorney, Navy reservist running for supervisor By keViN reddiNG kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Concerned about the direction of Brookhaven in recent years, Stony Brook attorney and U.S. Navy reservist Jack Harrington (D) has decided to take his first step into politics to push a new vision — one he hopes will make him the town’s top leader this fall.

Harrington, 34, who grew up in Sound Beach and was a student in the Miller Place school district before graduating from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and Yale Law School, is the official nominee of the Democratic, Working Families, and Women’s Equality parties. In November, he will run against Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), who has held the position since 2012 and is pursuing his third term at the helm.

As the father of a 2-year-old son, with another child on the way with his wife Sarah, Harrington said his main motivation to run was to make sure his kids have as many opportunities to succeed as he had growing up in the town in the 1980s and 90s.

But, Harrington expressed, a lot has changed in Suffolk County since then, and not for the better.

“It’s getting harder and harder for middle class families to survive in this area and I think local gov-

ernment plays a large role in that,” Harrington said.

Since deciding to run in May, he spends two hours a day going door-to-door to speak with residents about issues they have.

“It’s getting increasingly difficult to find a job and increasingly difficult to enter the property market,” he said. “I’m worried that if we don’t elect leaders that have a long-term vision for what Brookhaven should look like, when my son graduates college and if he decides he wants to stay in the town, he’s not going to have the means to do so.”

The candidate said he wants to grow Brookhaven’s economy by promoting transit-oriented development, high-tech corridors and vibrant downtowns in line with Patchogue Village and the planned revitalization project in Port Jefferson Station.

According to Harrington, Suffolk County should be utilizing its research hubs like Brookhaven National Lab and Stony Brook University, where he has taught as an adjunct professor of business, to bring back jobs.

He also wants to create alternative housing options for young people and seniors, and help make Town Hall a better overall partner to local businesses and residents by cutting through the “bureau-

‘It’s getting harder and harder for middle class families to survive in this area and I think local government plays a large role in that.’

— Jack Harrington cratic red tape” many have complained to him about.

“If I’m elected, one of the first things I want to do is evaluate every program, office, person in

Town Hall that interacts with businesses in any shape or form and ask a very simple question: how can we make these interactions easier? How can we reduce wait times?” Harrington said. “I want to ensure that every resident in Brookhaven has an ironclad belief that their government is working on behalf of their interest and their interest alone.”

He said he plans on releasing a package of tough ethics and contracting reforms that include term limits, a database for residents to see exactly where their taxpayer dollars are going, and public financial disclosures of elected officials.

Harrington commended the town on its initiatives to preserve open space, and made it clear he is actively running, but not waging a personal campaign against Romaine, who was unable to be reached for comment.

Raised by a public school teacher and a restaurateur, Harrington grew up valuing education and hard work. Upon receiving a full academic scholarship to Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, he attended University of St Andrews in Scotland, where he received a bachelor’s degree in international relations, and managed initiatives at The Center for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence.

He then pursued international

security studies at Georgetown University. After taking time to work in Washington, D.C. as a counterterrorism and intelligence analyst, he began studying law at Yale, from which he graduated in 2010.

In between passing the New York State bar examination and entering private practice in Stony Brook, Harrington interned for President Barack Obama (D) in the White House Counsel’s Office — an experience he said was remarkable.

“The hours were long, but they’re gratifying,” he said, “and if you don’t get chills walking into the Roosevelt Room for the staff meeting five feet from the Oval Office, then you might have other problems.”

When he and his wife moved back to Long Island to settle down, Harrington decided to join the Navy Reserve, serving for almost four years, and become locally active.

“He has a real dedication and commitment to his community,” said Lillian Clayman, chairwoman of the Brookhaven Town Democratic Committee, which is where she first met Harrington. “He cares deeply about his family and he’s very conscious of his role as husband and father, and is active in his church.

I had approached him and asked if he considered running for office because he’s just the kind of quality young person that Brookhaven needs. I think he’s going to win.”

Rally opposing white supremacy springs up in Port Jeff Station

By Alex Petroski alex@tbrnewspapers.com The decision by lawmakers in Charlottesville, Virginia to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee, a general in the Confederate Army, from where it stands in the city, lit a fuse last week that burned all the way to the corner of Routes 112 and 347 in Port Jefferson Station and beyond this past weekend.

The decision sparked protests featuring unabashed Nazi salutes and chants, white supremacist-rhetoric and violence in Virginia. The volatile event resulted in injuries and currently one reported fatality at the rally as tensions escalated. During the Aug. 12 protest, an Ohio man allegedly drove a car into a crowd of counter protesters opposing the hateful rhetoric of those aligned with the Nazi-sympathizers, killing 32-year-old Charlottesville resident Heather Heyer and injuring many others, according to Virginia police. Two Virginia state troopers — Lt. H. Jay Cullen and trooper-pilot Berke M.M. Bates — assisting in the response to the protest, also died in a helicopter accident leaving the scene, according to a state police spokesperson.

Demonstrations were held across the country Aug. 13, including in Port Jeff Station and Huntington Station, to present a unified front against the groups propagat-

ing hate and violence towards non-white Americans and citizens. According to a spokesperson for the North Country Peace Group, a North Shore-based activist group responsible for organizing several rallies at that location and others nearby in recent months, about 125 people attended the Port Jeff Station rally.

“We came together as a community to send a message of unity, solidarity and peace,” Myrna Gordon of the North Country Peace Group said in an email. “What happened in Charlottesville will not be tolerated. Charlottesville is just a small fraction of what is happening in our country.”

Leaders from across the political landscape denounced the hate groups and violent actions.

“These violent acts inspired by deep hatred are disgusting, un-American and unwelcome in our great nation,” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said in an email through a spokeswoman. “Differences will always exist and it is OK to disagree in America, but the violence taking place today in Charlottesville is absolutely not the right way to disagree with each other. We can and must do more to unite as a nation. There must be zero tolerance whatsoever for the extremes that try to tear us all apart. Patriotic Americans of all walks of life must come together and bridge those divides for the sake of our country and our people.”

PersPectives Korea is more than a place to fear, it’s a place to fear for Our turn

BY KYle BArr

In the summer of 2016 I traveled to South Korea with the Stony Brook University’s program Journalism Without Walls.

Though three weeks is never enough time to entrench yourself into a culture, I got to see a lot of what Korea is,

and what it isn’t.

We traveled to the Demilitarized Zone, the DMZ, between North and South Korea. We learned of the minefields of the surrounding area hiding behind lines of barbed wire, the towers above the fields that could watch down into the North. Soldiers took us to the Military Demarcation Line in between two buildings, one owned by the North and one owned by the South. There are three small blue houses where the two sides are supposed to speak, but they haven’t for years. There’s a lone North Korean soldier on the far side beyond the line.

He stood there at attention up the large stone steps. The atmosphere is oppressive, as if the air sits heavy on the shoulders.

But it’s a tourist spot. It’s a place with a gift shop and where a good many tourism companies run buses to all the major sites.

Kids are often taken there, mainly from the schools in Seoul. The South Korean tour guide wanted us to take pictures of the North Korean soldier all at the same time like everyone with a camera was a private with

a rifle at a firing line. The DMZ is a tool as much as much as it is a contested piece of real estate. The South Korean government wants you to come, it wants to convince you that everything you see is important.

South Korea is suffused with modernity.

From up on the top of Dongguk University in Seoul, where my group and I stayed, the night skyline buzzed with color and light. The streets were clean even through the bustle, as it was a cultural tick for people to pick up garbage even when it wasn’t theirs. The subways were a masterwork of clean efficiency. Electric signs told when the next train was coming, and it was always exactly on time. I think Seoul is the most modern place I have ever been to in my life.

When I originally told my parents I wanted to go there, when asked they couldn’t even find South Korea on a map. Worse, my folks heard the word “Korea” and their eyes went wider than if they had seen a car crash 2 feet in front of them. Korea, to them, was a place of great anxiety, where a madman holding a big red button threatened everything they knew.

My mother actually thought it could be possible that I would be walking around Seoul, get lost, then accidentally end up on the other side of the border in North Korea, suddenly finding myself surrounded by armed soldiers.

A year ago I didn’t have to fear for my life, of course, but now things are different. Seoul is only a short 35 miles from the DMZ. Along the border in entrenched positions there are thousands of artillery positions well dug in and lined up within

easy range of Seoul. Any sort of conflict that erupts, whether from a huge, planned military endeavor or sudden strike, could result in a staggering number of casualties.

I spoke to a few young people originally from North Korea who braved so much hardship to escape to the South, with their parents hiring brokers that would ferry them across harsh terrain into China, and from there a looping path through several countries before they could seek asylum in the South. The people living in the North are destitute and much of the country relies on foreign aid. While some buy fully into the propaganda displayed by the Kim Jong-un government, many are at

least in some part disbelieving.

These are the people that we ignore when United States officials talk about a confrontation with North Korea. Not only do they not want conflict, much like us in the U.S, but they and people in the surrounding countries and territories like Japan and Guam are stuck dealing with a conflict between two nuclear powers. In the expression of our fear, it’s imperative that we don’t forget these people who are left in the crosshairs.

Safety questions and concerns

There’s no doubt that what happened at Sachem High School East Aug. 10 was a tragedy — no family should have to bury their child, no less a 16-year-old who was simply dropped off for summer football practice.

In the wake of junior Joshua Mileto’s death following a football drill, there are some serious questions. How tough should sports training and conditioning be for high school athletes? Are kids being pushed too far?

Are involuntary, offseason workouts supervised and held to the standards of an in-season, mandatory practice?

Mileto was killed during training camp when a 10-foot, 400-pound log he and four teammates were carrying over their heads fell and struck him — a drill similar to one employed by Navy SEALS, but with a log half as heavy. Were the coaches properly trained in how to perform the drill? Should a defensive back and wide receiver — especially one who is 5 feet 6 inches tall, 134 pounds and just 16 years old — be taking part in this drill?

Building camaraderie, coordination and strength are admirable goals in team sports, but having kids running beneath a log is a reckless way to try to achieve them. In this case, it was tragically reckless. The overwhelming number of injuries and deaths that occur during practices and, in some cases, games, are impossible to anticipate and fall largely under the assumed risks of playing any contact sport — but a death like Mileto’s is different. Risks were either ignored or missed, and clearly outweighed any potential reward.

Section XI Executive Director Tom Combs said in a statement that “sometimes coaches are in attendance and sometimes trainers are there, but it can’t be mandatory,” referring to offseason practices, which are not subject to the same restrictions and standards as in-season practices. “It’s Photo from Facebook up to the individual schools on Joshua Mileto how they handle offseason workouts,” he added.

Although offseason camps are not mandatory, most 16- and 17-yearolds would likely assume it would be detrimental to their standing on a team to miss team activities, and they would probably be right.

The editorial staff reached out to districts and football coaches across our coverage area to find out about policies employed by our districts, or possible changes programs might explore as a reaction to the accident. While we understand there are legality issues that may arise, we were disappointed to be turned away by coaches and press contacts in attempting to gain some insight to find out what some of our North Shore standards are. It is beholden upon coaches at all times, especially in the aftermath of an unimaginable tragedy, to reassure parents that their kids are safe when dropped off for practice — voluntary or otherwise. They were not interested in telling us but we hope they’d tell you, if asked.

We believe, even with this being an offseason camp, there should be a swift rule response to protect young athletes. This unfortunate death has affected everyone, and the only way to learn from the incident is to talk about the problem, the dangers of football, and check our priorities. Safety should be the priority. We should be talking about how to prevent future tragedies.

Letters to the editor

Aghast at claimed accomplishments

As a retort to the letter in The Village Times Herald Aug. 10 issue titled “Consider a few of Trump’s accomplishments,” I realize how hard the writer, George Altemose, must have tried to find what he seems to think are positives in the Trump administration. I was aghast at what this person claimed as accomplishments.

The appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court was underhanded and stolen from the Obama administration by this Republican Congress that has accomplished nothing.

Although members seem to want to do Trump’s bidding, even they realize that this president is completely unsuited for the job as he berates his own party members and the institutions that he wants on the end of his puppet strings.

The “immigration policy” that Altemose so glowingly admired is not so much a policy, but a racist attempt to break up families, while blowing smoke and beating his chest. I may be mistaken, although I’m not, but have all immigrants to the United States been expected to speak English upon arrival?

I’m pretty sure that the Italians, Germans and those from Asian countries — just to name a few

— have entered speaking their own languages and have given our country a flavor boiled in the melting pot we have been so proud to aspire to. Even those from the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries spoke a dialect very different from that which is accepted vernacular today.

And the environment, perhaps this is where the writer is most deluded and lives in a world that apparently never included a science class. The earth is warming, the climate is changing, coal is bad. These are simple facts that Trump and his Republican minions choose not to believe. It’s not a fairy tale, it’s undeniable fact, no matter how hard the naysayers try.

The truth of the matter is, as I write this letter, the Republicanled Congress sits at a 24 percent approval rating while their “Chump in Chief” sits at 38 percent. How can anyone, including the writer of the letter, consider this a triumph?

Republicans choose to sit blindly by while this White House inhabitant, who called this abode a “dump,” continues to throw unveiled threats at the madman on the other side of the

world in North Korea. Trump supporters watch his press briefings where he is backed into a corner, spouting campaign slogans and election numbers, throwing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the rest of his Republican Congress under the bus and instigating us to the brink of nuclear war.

“Fire and fury” should be what Trump fears in the 2018 election from the Democrats when they retake the Congress. Of course, if special counsel Robert Mueller keeps doing the awesome job he was given, Trump won’t be anywhere near the election other than watching the Democratic landslide on television from a cell. Supporters can continue using Hillary Clinton as their punching bag whenever they have no other argument to fall back on. That doesn’t make the presidency of 45 anything to be proud of.

In his desperate attempt to validate Trump, this writer had tears in his eyes, equal to the crocodile tears shed by those who wept after the health care debacle came to an end. Score one for the good guys.

Zeldin: This is a time to be an American Anyone associating themselves with the KKK and Nazism is associating themselves with hatred, bigotry, racism, intolerance and a tremendously inhumane past filled with horrible evil. This is one of the extremes that exist in our society that has a long history of trying to tear us apart.

We are still learning the facts of what happened in Charlottesville, and there is evidence that the violence came from multiple groups and multiple sides, and really no one can be defended who traveled to this beautiful, historic city for the sole purpose

of causing physical harm to others.

It’s indefensible.

For that domestic terrorist who drove that car through that crowded street, his homicidal behavior must result in a prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. For the protesters with pure, good, genuine and peaceful purposes, I think it is very important you were brave enough to be there to lend your voice. For any of the protesters on either side with extremist views and violent purposes, you are 100 percent completely in the wrong.

I have spent a great deal of

time in Charlottesville throughout my life, including an entire summer one year in the Army, and it really is one of the greatest cities we have in this country — so rich in history and culture, including our nation’s Founding Fathers.

This isn’t a time to be left or right, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat. This is a time to be an American. Quite candidly, every day should be the perfect day to be an American first. United.

OPINION A plea for fact-based reporting from the left and right

J

ournalists need to embrace Detective Sgt. Joe Friday’s line from “Dragnet,” “Just the facts, ma’am.”

Caught up in intense public passions, journalists can either throw their opinions at the inflamed cacophony or they can seize an opportunity to do something that has escaped most politicians: Represent broader interests.

We live in a world of spin, where claims and counterclaims come out so

By Daniel Dunaief rapidly that reality has become a blur. The challenges in sifting through fact and fiction have increased as officials of all stripes shout their truths from the rooftops, even if they have an obstructed view of the world down below.

When I was in journalism school more than two decades ago, a good

D. None of the above

friend from Bulgaria, who was one of the few people who could pronounce my name correctly when she read it in my mailbox, shared her writing with me.

I noticed a flaw in the way she recorded dialogue. The quotes in her story often lacked the syntax and vocabulary that native English speakers possess. When I asked if she only spoke with other Bulgarians, she playfully punched my shoulder and said she needed to hear better.

That was an unintentional consequence of the way someone who spoke three languages translated the world.

The chasm today between what people say and what others hear, even those who speak the same language, has gotten wider. Editors and reporters return to their desks or take out their laptops, ready to share quotes, events and facts.

These fellow members of the media may find themselves seeing what they want to see, much like the parent of an athlete on a field or a coach who has become an advocate or cheerleader. In

editorials, where we’re clearly sharing an opinion, that works, but in news reports we should share the facts, offer context — and increase the value of fact-based reporting.

With facts under regular assault, the search for them, and the ability to verify them, becomes even more important.

A divided nation needs balanced, fair, accurate and defensible reporting. In their publications, scientists share materials and methods sections, which should allow other researchers to conduct the same experiments and, presumably, find the same results. Far too often, opinions disguised as news urge people to trust the writer. Why? Readers should be able to pull together the same raw materials and decide for themselves.

I know government officials don’t always deal in facts. I also know numbers can be repackaged to suit an agenda, turning any conclusion into a specious mix of farce and mental acrobatics. To wit, he’s the best lefthanded hitter every Tuesday there’s a full moon below the Mason-Dixon

line. Just because it’s presented as a fact doesn’t mean we have to report it or even mock it. If it’s meaningless, then leave it alone. The argument that other journalists are doing it doesn’t make it acceptable.

Several years ago, someone called to berate me for what he considered errors in my story. Rather than shout him down, I gave him the chance to offer his perspective. Eventually he calmed down and we had a measured, detailed discussion. This became the first of numerous conversations and interactions in which he provided important perspectives and shared details I might not otherwise have known.

Reporters face a public acutely aware of its own anger. Almost by definition in a country where the two major political parties struggle to find common ground, some group of readers disagrees with our coverage. We shouldn’t try to please everyone. In fact, we should try to please no one — we should merely work harder. It’s time to allow facts to speak for themselves.

‘The best part about it is it’s like old school baseball and mitts with the family, but in an environment where it can be very competitive or as leisurely as just hanging out in the backyard and having some fun.’

— Bill Kidd

Brookhaven hosts tourney with new backyard, beach game

BY KEVIN REDDING KEVIN@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM Back in the 1980s, Setauket natives Bill Kidd and Andy Matthews would often spend their summer days fishing and clamming on the Long Island Sound.

But when they returned to shore, the best friends were the only ones playing TriCrosse — a then-brand new toss-and-catch game in which two players with scoop rackets throw a ball back and forth trying to score into goal nets set up in front of their opponent.

That’s because Kidd and Matthews made it up in their backyards.

“We started off tossing and catching a ball with some lacrosse-like rackets, and then got some fishing and crab nets from the shed to stick in the ground so we could be a little competitive with each other,” said Kidd, 48, laughing. “We thought, ‘This is kind of fun, it’s neat to aim this thing and try to get a goal.’ It kind of grew from there.”

On Aug. 12, more than 30 years after its creation, TriCrosse was played by kids, teens, moms, dads, uncles, aunts and grandparents along Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai during the first Town of Brookhaven-sponsored Fight Breast Cancer TriCrosse Tournament.

The fun-filled event, made up of 28 registered locals and dozens of spectators, pit players against each other in a double-elimination style and marked the game’s first public tournament since it was officially rolled out into several small stores and made available online in April.

Even though most of the tournament participants had never played TriCrosse before, it didn’t take long for them to get into it.

“It’s borderline addicting,” said Kevin McElhone, 25, of Huntington. “As soon as you get the racket in your hand, you can stand out here and do this for hours.”

So far, the portable game — which contains two goals with three different sized nets on each, two bases for indoor and outdoor play, two plastic rackets, two balls and a large

carry bag — is on shelves at Amity Harbor Sports in Amityville as well as toy stores in Lake Placid and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

“It’s very fun, it’s great exercise, just a great outdoor game,” said Richard Kryjak, 13, of East Setauket. “It’s definitely perfect to play on the beach.”

The TriCrosse team, which consists of Kidd, Matthews and Bill Strobel of Setauket, said they plan to meet with multiple retailers in the fall, as well as many physical education and camp conferences later this year to discuss expanding the game’s reach.

“I think I’m going to be a TriCrosse person in retirement,” said John Gentilcore, the former principal at Mount Sinai Elementary School.

“It’s important I have a good self-esteem because I’m probably going to be beaten by a 10-year-old. That’s OK, though.”

Matthews, the director of math, science and technology in the Mount Sinai School District, said the school recently bought four TriCrosse sets to bring into the gym curriculum.

“We want to be the ultimate outdoor game for people at beaches, in parking lots, tailgating, gymnasiums,” Matthews said.

Kidd said he likes to also think it can work in a variety of settings.

“The best part about it is it’s like old school baseball and mitts with the family, but in an environment where it can be very competitive or as leisurely as just hanging out in the backyard and having some fun,” Kidd said.

Although it has been a popular game in Kidd and Matthews’ close circles for years, TriCrosse was tucked away as jobs and families took priority.

That was until recently, when backyard games like Spikeball and KanJam made a splash on the market, encouraging the team to turn TriCrosse into a family-friendly product.

“The three things we’ve always heard from people is ‘What is that?’ ‘Where can I get it?’ and ‘You should be on Shark Tank’,” Strobel said. “It’s such a great family activity, which people really enjoy. Our big thing is also getting kids off the couch, getting them off of their phones and getting them out playing. I know

there’s a bunch of backyard games out there, but there’s nothing like this, which is cool.”

After it was released in April, Strobel brought TriCrosse and videos of game play to Brookhaven’s superintendent of recreation Kurt Leuffen in an effort to bring it to residents in a friendly, competitive setting.

Fifty percent of the proceeds that were raised during the event, $200 total, will be donated to the Stony Brook Foundation, which supports research, prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

“We’re not trying to make any money at this tournament,” Matthews said. “We just want to show people what it is and try to get the word out.”

Not much of the game has changed since Kidd and Matthews developed it, they said.

The rule is that each player stands behind the goals, which are about 50 feet apart, while throwing and receiving a foam ball with plastic rackets to try and score into any of the three nets for varying points. The first player to reach seven points in 10 minutes wins.

Fittingly, one of the last matches of the night was between the game’s two creators.

Kidd and Matthews struck the ball back and forth with glee as if they were teenagers in the backyard again.
