Setauket resident runs from DC to NYC for charity BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM
A father’s love for his son has inspired him to raise money and awareness for charities dedicated to the developmentally disabled — by running. Since 2014, Kevin Long has run five marathons that have benefited nonprofits, including Autism Speaks and Developmental Disabilities Institute. Over the years the Setauket resident has raised $120,000 and
KEVIN LONG
calls his supporters Timmy’s Team, named after his 16-year-old son who has both Down syndrome and autism. Long recently raised $10,273 of that $120,000 by participating in a three-day run March 19-21, which took him and other participants on a journey from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., to the United Nations headquarters in New York City. The fundraising event, called Run for 3.21, featured a team of athletes who worked together as a relay team to raise money from sponsors for the National Down Syndrome Society, a human rights organization for individuals with Down syndrome. NDSS organized the fundraiser this year in recognition of World Down Syndrome Day March 21. The numbers 3 and 21 are symbolic because Down syndrome is the result of the triplication of the 21st chromosome. “The Run for 3.21 team represents an amazing cross section of advocates, athletes and allies from the entire community,” said Michelle Ray, NDSS director of national inclusive health and sports programs, in a statement. “Today, people with Down syndrome are living longer, healthier, fulfilling lives, and our Run for 3.21 and companion program, Racing for 3.21 on World Down Syndrome Day, aim to celebrate their accomplishments and help foster a world of greater possibilities for all those with Down syndrome.”

Long said he and his running partner Amy Brown ran six legs of the 250-mile relay race for a total of 36 miles. The longest leg was 8 miles, when he and Brown ran from the George Washington Bridge to the United Nations building. He said the relay race featured 20 runners, including
a young man with Down syndrome, who were divided into pairs. Two vans accompanied the group along the trek. One van was for participants who were not currently running so they could get something to eat, take bathroom

PJ chocolate shop donates 22-lb bunny to soup kitchen Easter was a little sweeter this year for guests of Welcome Friends Soup Kitchen thanks to a donation from a Port Jefferson chocolate shop. The soup kitchen in Port Jefferson serves a hot, fresh meal homemade by volunteers at several area churches free of charge for those in need on a daily basis. For patrons who stopped in to First Presbyterian Church on Main Street March 30 for dinner, a stunning visual awaited for dessert. Brian and Christine Viscount, owners of the Kilwins located on Main Street in Port Jeff, elected to take an offering from the company’s corporate headquarters to commemorate Easter. For the last two weeks the store has been displaying a 3-foot-tall, 22-lb milk chocolate Easter Bunny behind Plexiglas, which it donated to the soup kitchen for guests to take home on the Friday before Easter Sunday. “We knew we wanted to have the bunny in our store because it gives the store that ‘wow’ effect, but we wanted to do something special with it afterward,” Christine Viscount said. “We were trying to think of a charitable way to use the bunny, and we spoke with the mayor’s office actually and they gave us some ideas. When we heard about the soup kitchen we said what better
way for a lot of people to enjoy the chocolate — no one family needs 22 pounds. We thought this would be the perfect fit.” The solid chocolate bunny was displayed whole for guests to admire during dinner, then broken into pieces by the Viscounts before being bagged up and sent home with the guests as an Easter treat. It was made in the Kilwins kitchen in Petoskey, Michigan, using the company’s truffle chocolate and a giant bunny mold. “The guests were so pleased with the fun of having this huge bunny on site as they entered the dining room,” Marge Tumilowicz, president of Welcome Friends, said in an email after the meal. “Everyone was thrilled to take home the full gift bags. Welcome Friends thanks our new neighbors from Kilwins for their kindness, generosity and community spirit.” Lorraine Kutzing, a co-coordinator at the soup kitchen who was on hand helping volunteers March 30, said seeing the bunny and taking home the chocolate made the day special for guests. “For a lot of them, they probably won’t be getting a lot of chocolate for this holiday, so at least we’re able to give them a taste of something that’s really good,” she said. “It just means a lot that the community backs us the way they do to do something like this, to provide for those less fortunate, I think that’s wonderful.”

Kindergartner wins oldest 3V penny competition BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM
A Three Village kindergartner recently turned a penny into $100. The East Setauket branch of Gold Coast Bank announced Charlotte Plagainos was the first prize winner of its Oldest Penny Search after she found an 1802 penny. Bank representatives awarded her $100 for her discovery during a March 23 ceremony at Arrowhead Elementary School. The kindergartner said she found the winning penny while going through her great-grandfather’s jar of change on a rainy day with her mother, Rebecca Plagainos. Charlotte, who just turned 6 years old, said when she found the penny she had a feeling it was old enough to win the contest. “I was really excited,” she said, adding that she noticed the head of the coin featured a Native American and not President Abraham Lincoln. Her mother said when Charlotte received
the news that she won from Gold Coast Bank, the family was screaming, and the kindergartner did her happy dance. “I started to jump up and down, up and down,” Charlotte said. John Tsunis, Gold Coast Bank chairman and CEO, said he was surprised a student found such an old penny. “I thought we would get something maybe somewhere in the early 1900s, but not in the 1800s,” Tsunis said. “That’s awesome.” Rebecca Plagainos said the win turned into a counting lesson for Charlotte, who can count up to 1,000. “We took it out all in [dollar bills], so it was super exciting because it was a huge stack of bills,” Plagainos said. “We could lay it all out and count them.” After winning the contest, Charlotte’s parents treated her and her sister, Daphne, to a celebratory dinner at Slurp Ramen and then to Roger’s Frigate in Port Jefferson for ice cream. Charlotte said at the Frigate she bought herself and her sister stuffed animals — a parrot for her and a bunny for Daphne. Tsunis said the contest kicked off during an assembly at Arrowhead Elementary School Feb. 12 during the school’s spirit week, where bank representatives challenged students to find the oldest penny in the Three Village area. They chose the penny due to the event falling on Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. The prizes offered were $100 for first prize, $50 for second, and the winner’s school’s PTA

The chairman said each student received a piggybank and shiny new penny. He and other bank representatives met with the student council to introduce the contest and discussed the importance of establishing a pattern of savings. Tsunis said savers would be surprised with their results with compound interest. “No matter how small you save, save that
amount on a regular basis,” Tsunis said. “Get something that’s comfortable, whether it’s 10 cents, 50 cents, a dollar.” It’s advice Charlotte is taking to heart. She is saving the remaining prize money for something special in the future, according to her mother. At the March 23 ceremony, James-Henry Parkinson, a fourth-grader who found a penny dated 1847, was named runner-up and received $50. As arranged, Arrowhead’s PTA was the recipient of the $500 prize.

Kevin Long and running partner Amy Brown finished the Run for 3.21 in the snow when they arrived in New York.
CHARITY Continued from page A3 breaks or rest. The other was on hand in case those who were running encountered a medical problem. While he has participated in other fundraising marathons, Long said the 3.21 relay was the most memorable for him. “Just the fact that you can say you ran from DC to NYC is cool enough,” he said. “But almost all of the other runners were like myself — had a child with Down syndrome. So, we had this common shared bond, if you will, of raising a child with special needs. It kind of made it that much cooler.” Long said the runners shared stories about their experience raising a child with Down syndrome along the way. In the father’s case, Timmy was born with Down syndrome and diagnosed with autism 18 months later, requiring round-the-clock supervision. While they passed through some areas he likened to running along Route 347, Long said he saw some interesting sites, including Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Another special moment for him was racing through Manhattan on the day of a nor’easter. He said it was snowing when the group arrived in the city and the traffic was a bit lighter than usual. Brown, from South Carolina, had never visited New York before and was almost in tears running in Central Park. Long said it was special for him too, because he’d also never run in the city before. The runner said the group was lucky the storm didn’t hit earlier because the vans may not have been able to navigate the streets in heavy snow. When the race ended, his wife Anne Marie, Timmy and daughter Abigail were there to greet him. The other runners were also welcomed by their families who were thrilled to see them. Long’s wife said she supported her husband fully when he decided to take on the event. “His personal running journey, along with his teammates, brought attention to a wonderful organization that advocates tirelessly for people with Down syndrome,” she said. “I am so proud of the way he puts himself out there to raise awareness and fundraise for Timmy’s Team and others like our son.” Long said while Timmy has difficulty speaking, he gave his father a big hug after the journey. “That’s why I do this,” Long said. “The whole reason I keep with the running is because of him.” For more information on Timmy’s Team and NDSS visit www.classy.org/fundraiser/1228281.

Supervisor says state of town is ‘good and getting better’ Zeldin’s bill to help disabled
U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, second from right, during a previous visit to the Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook.
Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) is nothing if not confident about the future of the town he oversees. Brookhaven Town’s leader delivered his annual State of the Town address at Town Hall April 3 in which he touted its financial footing while also looking toward the future. “The state of Brookhaven Town is good and getting better,” Romaine said. “Brookhaven Town, though not perfect, is still a town full of promise and hope. It is up to all of us who live here to help realize that promise.” Brookhaven has a structurally balanced budget for the current fiscal year that stays within the state mandated tax levy increase cap, in addition to maintaining its AAA bond rating from Standard & Poor’s financial services company. Romaine detailed a few cost-saving measures he said he’d like to accomplish going forward, including more sharing of services among other municipalities as a way to streamline government and save taxpayer money. “Sharing resources and services to reduce the size, scope and cost of government is one of the best ways to control and reduce expenses,” he said, adding the town remains in the running for a shared services grant from New York State that, if selected, would add $20 million to Brookhaven’s effort. “We must continue to closely monitor our capital and operating expenses. Our residents cannot pay more in taxes. Too many Long Islanders are leaving.” He said growing the local economy through additional jobs was another priority for him and the town going forward. Romaine said he still hopes Brookhaven will be selected as the second national headquarters for Amazon, which he said could bring in about 50,000 jobs to the town. He also praised the work of the Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency, an arm
of municipalities dedicated to funding projects that will stimulate job creation and economic growth. “The IDA closed on 20 projects that will result in $435 million of private investment and the creation of 4,050 permanent or [temporary] construction jobs,” the supervisor said. “In addition, the IDA has 13 approved projects that have or are about to close in 2018, with the potential for another $440 million of private investment into our town, creating or retaining another 1,000 jobs.” Romaine detailed several “green” initiatives already underway or on the horizon in 2018, noting the real threat to Brookhaven posed by climate change and sea level rise. “With the largest coastline of any town in New York state, the Town of Brookhaven knows full well that global climate change and sea level rise is real and poses significant challenges in the decades ahead,” he said. He said the town has adopted a practice of “strategic retreat” from commercial and residential development in low-lying areas to allow nature to reclaim wetlands. He called land use and zoning among the most important powers a town government possesses. He also pointed to the imminent closure of Brookhaven’s landfill as a wakeup call in need of attention in the coming years. He said the town is ready to work with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and other towns to formulate a regional plan for solid waste disposal. The supervisor also made an impassioned call for updates to the Long Island Rail Road, including electrification of the Port Jefferson line east beyond the Huntington station, adding he co-authored a letter to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority asking for just that with Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) and Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R). “It is time for a better transportation system, one based on 21st century innovation, not 19th century technology,” Romaine said.

BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Disabled veterans received some good news March 28. President Donald Trump (R) signed the Adult Day Health Care Act into law this week, a bipartisan bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) that will expand access to health care for disabled veterans who need extra assistance and special attention in their daily lives, according to a press release from Zeldin’s office. “This is important legislation that provides a valuable and necessary service to our nation’s veterans,” Zeldin said in a statement. “By expanding access to Adult Day Health Care, we can ensure that all veterans receive the best and most efficient outpatient services that provide each veteran with the assistance and special attention they need, while still allowing them to maintain their independence.” The bill defines the program as a reimbursable treatment option through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Previously, the program was only accessible for disabled veterans at three state veterans homes in the country, leaving the expense of health care oftentimes directly shouldered by the veteran and his or her
family, according to the press release. One of the three homes was Long Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook. The Adult Day Health Care Act provides comprehensive medical and personal care combined with engaging social activities for the physically or cognitively impaired, as well as an array of therapies and counseling. With the passage of the bill, now those who are 70 percent or more disabled as a result of their service are able to access the in-home day care at no cost at any of the 153 state veterans homes in the U.S. “I am grateful to Congressman Zeldin for having the foresight to introduce this bill on behalf of all severely service-connected veterans who reside in state veterans homes across the country,” Vietnam veteran and patient of the Stony Brook facility Al Anderson said in a statement. “The bottom line is that this legislation will allow me to return home to my family while still having the ability to receive essential services through the Adult Day Health Care program. I can keep my chronic conditions in check and still enjoy the comforts of my own home.” Fred Sganga, director of the Long Island State Veterans Home, also thanked Zeldin for his efforts in advancing the legislation. “This legislation helps to restore a veteran’s freedom to remain an active member of their community even after succumbing to the perils of military service,” he said. “Congressman Zeldin never forgets the sacrifice of brave women and men who donned the uniform to protect the freedoms we all enjoy today.” The Senate version of the bill was sponsored by U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). “Our nation’s veterans and their dedicated families have sacrificed enough,” Zeldin said. “This bill will give veterans the care they have earned while providing families with the support and relief they need to help their veteran loved ones to lead a fulfilling life, while keeping families together and strong.”

In observance of the 12th point of the Boy Scout Law, Webelos Scout Shaun Fontana of Cub Scout Pack 377 in Stony Brook was presented with the Aleph Emblem Feb. 25 at Temple Beth Chai of Hauppauge during the annual Scout Sabbath services by Jewish Committee on Scouting of Suffolk County Council’s Chair Emeritus Bruce Streger. Scout Shaun was presented with a medal, certificate, a purple and silver Scouting religious emblem knot — to be sewn onto his uniform — and a JCOS Kippah and key chain. Shaun is the son of Shari and Richard Fontana of Stony Brook and younger brother of Boy Scout Steven of Troop 377 in Setauket. The first 11 points of the Boy Scout Law must be demonstrated in order to go from one rank to the next, including Eagle. The 12th point — A Scout Is Reverent — can be demonstrated in a variety of ways including the earning of the religious award of the Scout’s individual faith. As with all the religious emblems, these are not an award for Scouting skills, but rather an emblem authorized by the Boy Scouts of America to be worn on the Scout’s uniform after satisfactory completion of the necessary requirements. For the 8- to 11-yearold Cub Scouts, the Aleph Emblem requires seven areas of study, including Torah, prayers,
religious holidays, the synagogue or temple, Bible heroes, famous American Jews and the land of Israel.

County hopes to complete controversial trail by 2020 Public voices residual concerns following last year’s meeting BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With the Rails to Trails bike path another step closer to completion, many residents are still shouting “not in my backyard.” At a meeting inside Shoreham-Wading River High School’s cafeteria March 27, locals repeated concerns about privacy and security for homes adjacent to the trail. “They say it’s going to be scenic, but where I’m from, you’re literally 6 feet from somebody’s fence — what’s scenic about that?” Page A26 Rocky Point resident Mary Anne Gladysz said, pointing to the satellite maps that detailed the path the 10-mile trail from Crystal Brook Hollow Road in Mount Sinai to Wading River Manor Road in Wading River would take.

final approval is expected to be received in October. The county would receive bids for construction in the fall with ground breaking expected to begin in spring 2019, ending in fall 2020. The total cost of construction is estimated to be $8.8 million, $500,000 of which will come from Suffolk County, and the rest from federal funds, according to Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (DMount Sinai). “The vision in my mind is an ecotourism hub,” Anker said. “They can visit the Tesla museum, they can go into downtown Rocky Point, which really needs more passive traffic, they can stop in shops all the way into Mount Sinai.” The plan does not include building fences around properties that don’t already have them. Privacy was a major point of concern for Rocky Point resident Gary Savickas. “I have a 7-foot fence on my property, and with how high the trail will be, I will have people looking over my fence,” he said. “I would have to build a 30-foot fence if I wanted to keep eyes off my yard.

barrels, a sizable profit.” “Offshore whaling was a fine business in those days, and Madam Martha had her own whaleboat,” Strong added. “The crew was mostly Indians. She kept her records in a second pigskin book, which was almost lost in the San Francisco fire. A member of the family had taken it West. During the fire, a gentleman saw a trunk which had fallen from a truck and examined the contents. Finding the pigskin book he restored it to its owner.” As detailed in “Bellport and Brookhaven: A Saga of the Sibling Hamlets at Old Purchase South” by Stephanie Bigelow, published in 1968, “The Lady Martha was a remarkable woman … managing not only the vast estate, but carrying on the whaling business successfully.” Also as noted by Kate Strong, “Fifteen Indians, the whaling crew, are listed by name; their wages, and the charges made against them, for shot, powder, rum, ‘cotes,’ ‘britches,’ etc. … She must have had trouble controlling them, for there are quite a few complaints. ‘He [Will Bene] got nothing this season, stayed away 10 days at a time, when he went to see his Shua. Was a great loss to me.’ But there were more cheerful entries too. ‘I thanks God, my company killed a yearling whale. Maid 27 barrels ogle.’ Listed was the weight in pounds of whalebone from each whale, as well as the number of barrels of oil.” In addition to being successful, Martha Smith was well respected in the area. “As to what the early settlers thought of Martha in their plans for the meeting house church, they wrote that at the table was to sit no woman of any kind except Madam Martha Smith,” wrote Kate Strong. “She died five years after her husband on September 1, 1709, and was buried beside him on the spot he had chosen overlooking the little bay on the neck, now called Strong’s Neck, but we old-timers think of it by its real name: St. George’s Manor, part of the Manor of St. George.” Beverly C.

Part two of a two-part series William “Tangier” Smith and his wife Martha who lived in St. George’s Manor in Strong’s Neck became known locally as the lord and lady of the manor in the late 1600s. As detailed by historian Kate Strong in her Long Island Forum columns, “In 1675 [in Tangier, Morocco], Colonel William Smith ... bought a great book, sometimes called ‘The Tangier Book’ and sometimes ‘The First Pigskin Book.’ The first entry was a statement of his marriage. After that he recorded the baptism [including minister and godparents], and some deaths, of his numerous children. As he only wrote on one side of the page, his wife, Martha, turned the book upside down and wrote in her recipes — in some cases telling the name of the person giving her the recipe.” The recipes and notes Martha Smith made in the pigskin book were most likely all entered during her years on Long Island. “She sometimes added a few bits of news,” Strong wrote. “As when she told that she felt that Colonel Williams’ sickness came from a strain he had incurred in lifting her off the horse ... later she recorded that her dear Billy was better.” Strong listed just a few of the recipes from the pigskin book, including “To make pancakes — take the yokes of six eggs, add ye one white and one pint of cream and half a pint of sacke & nutmeg and a little salt and some sugar. Make the batter of a reasonable thickness, work in some flower (sic) & fry them. Mrs. Osborn.” Martha also included recipes for medicinal purposes, including one from her daughter. “For a sore throat or Quinsey — take Rue & pound it pretty fine & make a poultice & plaster, must be an inch thick & lay it on ye side of ye throat. It is a sure cure. You may sprinkle it with brandy. Mrs. Strod.” “She was not too busy to enjoy riding with her husband,” Strong wrote. “I imagine they had fine horses. I know their saddles were covered with velvet. (Hers a side saddle of course). They went to the South Shore not only to enjoy the ocean breezes in the summer but on business.” When Martha’s husband died in 1705, the Smith children included Henry, later second lord of the manor, age 26; Mrs. Martha Heathcote, age 23; Jeane, age 17; William Henry, later to inherit the South Shore manor house and estate, age 15; Gloryana, later to marry the Rev. George Muirson, age 14; and Charles Jeffery, who would die of smallpox in 1715, age 11. Martha was now faced with raising her young family and running her late husband’s vast holdings and business interest. Entries in the pigskin book had been started by Smith in 1697 as an estate account book of farm transactions and also referred to the Native American whaling crews, as detailed by historian John Strong in “The Unkechaug Indians of Eastern Long Island: A History.” “From 1696 until 1721, the Smiths used the book to keep the accounts of Native Americans working for their whaling company,” Strong wrote. ... “Lady Martha Smith, for the 1706-07 whaling season made a net profit of 120 barrels of whale oil out of 180

Hundreds attend Setauket egg hunts BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Easter Bunny left behind thousands of eggs in Setauket this weekend to the delight of North Shore children. Benner’s Farm in Setauket held its annual Easter egg hunts March 31 and April 1. The farm hosted three hunts a day, and the Easter Bunny was on hand to greet children. After
the hunts, families explored the farm and visited its animals including bunnies, chicks and baby goats. On April 1, St. James R.C. Church in Setauket held its annual egg hunt after the 9:30 a.m. Mass. Dressed in their Sunday best, children ran around the church’s lawn hoping to fill their baskets to the brim with colorful plastic eggs filled with goodies.

SPORTS Grillo helps Patriots power past Lindenhurst Matt Grillo led the way as the Ward Melville boys lacrosse team scored early and often in a 13-4 win at Lindenhurst April 3. The Patriots weren’t going to let a little rain hold them back and tallied the first goal of the evening just 16 seconds into the contest. Grillo, a senior forward, found the back of the cage, his first of three times, less than two minutes later. Taking his opponent head on, he bulled his way through a defender, spinning around and rocketing a high shot from close range into the upper right corner of the cage. “I always love to take my defender 1-v-1 to the cage, especially if I think I have a good matchup,” Grillo said. “It not only creates opportunities for myself to score but for my teammates to score as well. Getting off to a quick start is crucial to determining the outcome of the game. We love to come out with a spark and keep that intensity throughout the game.” A total 11 players found themselves on the score sheet for Ward Melville. Senior Zach Hobbes followed behind Grillo with two goals. “We have a lot of depth, unfortunately we let up a couple that I was a little disappointed about, but it’s a rainy day,” head coach Jay Negus said. “We’re still trying to find our identity, but it was a good

effort. I was happy with some of the guys who stepped in — off the bench who we got in toward the end — they were able to execute some really nice things.” Ward Melville led 9-1 at halftime but let Lindenhurst score three straight goals to start the fourth. Lindenhurst also pushed the envelope, taking multiple slashing and late hit penalties to give the Patriots more chances. Ward Melville’s defense remained consistent, forcing turnovers, stealing passes and grabbing a few ground balls, though there’s still some room for the younger guys to improve in particular. “We are a talented group of kids and have a ton of guys who can make an impact,” Grillo said. “Our defense played great as always and really locked down

I believe that as a team we could still work on our ball movement and our ground balls. Ground balls are crucial for possession and can be a deciding factor in close games.” The Patriots improved to 3-0 on the season in a run for their second straight

High school track grant Greater Long Island Running Club, of Plainview, will be awarding at least one $5,000 grant to a Long Island public high school track and field program this year. Selection of the winning high school(s) will be based on: the need of the school; the purpose for which the grant would be used; the benefit to the program and the studentathletes who are part of the program; and the benefit to the community of which the high school is a part. In 2016, the running club awarded a $5,000 grant to Brentwood High School to help reinstitute and revitalize the school’s cross country program, which had not been
offered since 2010 because of lack of funding. In 2017, to help Central Islip High School kids afford running shoes, the club brought the entire boys and girls teams into Sayville Running Company for shoes. “High school runners represent the future of our sport,” said Linda Ottaviano, the running club’s executive director. “We are thrilled to be able to help deserving high school programs, high school athletes and the communities that they are a part of.” Applications can be obtained by calling the running club office at 516-349-7646 or emailing info@glirc.org. Applications must be received by May 1.
Under Armour lacrosse tryouts If you want to rep your region at this year’s Under Armour Underclass tournament, tryout registration is now open. The 2018 tournament will again feature two divisions in each region — the Command Division and Highlight Division. Command will showcase players from the 2021 and 2022 high school graduation years, while the Highlight will feature the 2019 and 2020 players. Each division will compete within itself at the tryouts and main event. This year will see the addition of the CONNY (Connecticut & New York) region to the Underclass tryouts and tournament. Other regions represented include Baltimore, Long Island, the Midwest, Philadelphia, New England, New Jersey, South, Southwest, Upstate New York, Washington, D.C. and the West.
The regional teams will be selected via tryouts during the months of May and June. Each player must register for their geographic region and be judged by a panel of sources, including coaching experts from that region. Players will be chosen based on position and performance at that day’s tryout. Once selected, the Underclass teams will travel to Townson University in Baltimore, Maryland, and compete in the tournament June 28–July 1. Each team will battle in a pool play at the Under Armour All-AmericaLacrosse Weekend to be crowned the nation’s elite team. College coaches from DI, DII and DIII lacrosse programs will be invited to attend both the regional tryouts, as well as the games in Baltimore.

OPINION Editorial
A map of the soon-to-be Rails to Trails bike trail that will run from Mount Sinai to Wading River.
Rails to Trails needs upkeep after completion
We were among those excited to hear the long-discussed 10-mile bike trail from Mount Sinai to Wading River Rails to Trails project finally seems to be getting off the ground. With work expected to begin in spring 2019, the LIPA-owned property will be put to great community use with countless benefits for both locals and visitors to the area. We have heard complaints from residents whose properties abut the trail, and we’ve also heard of issues at other comparable trails on Long Island. It is incumbent on the organizers of this project — Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), engineering firm NV5 and the county’s Department of Public Works — to not only hear but also act on resident concerns all along the way. While we understand having a trail suddenly run through your backyard can be a disruptive new addition to a home with the potential to attract strangers, we would argue unused woods can also attract undesirable behaviors. This is not to say that steps shouldn’t be taken to buffer the trail from property lines. We are confident that an amicable compromise can be reached as long as residents’ concerns are truly taken into account. The popular Long Island Greenbelt Trail, which is overseen by the nonprofit Long Island Greenbelt Trail Conference, is regularly in need of volunteers to help maintain and clean up the massive trail. To its credit, the group has a tab on its website where hikers can submit reports about issues or problems along the trail. Something like this would be great when the Mount Sinai-to-Wading River project is complete. Building a bike trail for residents and tourists alike to enjoy and utilize is great in theory, but maintaining it and keeping it vibrant is another project entirely. We would even propose the newly created chambers of commerce in each of the hamlets through which the trail runs divide the 10 miles and host quarterly cleanups. We were also glad to hear mile markers will be included on the trail to make it easier for people in need of emergency assistance to let authorities know where on the trail they are located. We’d like to see something similar to what Cold Spring Harbor State Park implemented a few years ago to ensure safety for users of the trail. Suffolk County police officer James Garside helped develop and implement innovative GPS-enabled trail markers there, and since installation in 2017, a man who suffered a heart attack on the trail was saved thanks to the availability of his precise location. We also hope this new trail is like the Setauket-Port Jefferson Greenway Trail in one specific way. “From the 6th Precinct’s standpoint there haven’t been any spikes in burglaries or home invasions on the [Setauket-Port Jefferson Greenway Trail],” Community Oriented Police Enforcement unit Sgt. Walter Langdon said during a discussion about safety on the new trail. “With the right-of-ways, people can already access the rear of these houses. With more people on the trail, there’s more people to call 911. In a way, it’s safer.” Projects for public good are always great by us, but keeping a neighbor-friendly status will require attention and work.

Letters to the editor
Zeldin: Get your priorities straight On March 24, my husband and I went to Stony Brook University’s March For Our Lives where SBU students and parents walked with placards joining their brethren in hearts and minds who were marching in Washington, D.C. They, as many other people in cities across the country, were stating their views regarding the anti-gun movement. As I watched, I thought how nice it would be if our local Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) joined and assisted the enthusiastic youngsters in their quest. After all, he is supposed to be caring for his people, not their guns or their right to massacre others with them. There was also a march near Zeldin’s office in Patchogue, a thousand strong. Knowing Zeldin’s history on this issue, I
knew that he would not be marching, not wanting to explain why he is a pawn of the National Rifle Association and has been since 2015. He wasn’t there. For all we know, he might have been in the company of Trump in Mar-a-Lago. The congressman of ours, who is supposed to support and protect his constituents, was supporting the NRA with his silence. Not surprising, after all he accepted more money from the NRA than any other New York congressperson in the 2016 election cycle with Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus). Obviously, money and power are foremost in Zeldin’s mind and heart. He once told the Long Island Advance that he is his “own man and I make decisions based on my own beliefs.” As such, 2018 is the time for Zeldin to be
uprooted from his seat in Congress and from his plans of one day being president which, by his kowtowing to Trump, is probably his strategy. After all, he follows everything his leader decides. Additionally, he goes along with every NRA blueprint. Your time is up Congressman Zeldin, leave your constituents something better than what you foresee as power. Give them what you promised. Not a false sense of power but a true sense of goodness and helpfulness, not a shrewd schemer with a Machiavellian script but a man of political distinction. There is still time to be a true man who saves us from bullets and a false sense of priorities.

Wisdom, election don’t go together In response to the letter titled, “Trump is no fan of appeasement,” in the March 22 edition of The Village Times Herald, I must congratulate George Altemose on his jawdropping, unconditional loyalty to “chump” in the alternate universe that has been created through this administration. Honestly this letter read like political satire, dripping with head-smacking allegiance to a man who is single-handedly dismantling every aspect of our democratic government, as well as our foreign alliances across the globe. Apparently, though, “we are fortunate indeed that the American people had the wisdom to elect a president” ... I must cease my paraphrasing there in order to retain my dignity. Under no circumstances may
wisdom and “the election” of “chump” be relegated to the same occurrence. Without Russian collusion and an inept, outdated, unnecessary electoral system, the true winner would be in the White House today. Unfortunately, though, this election was trifled with and now we have a lunatic who is trying to deflect from the Mueller investigation by claiming that he and “little rocket man” are going to have a little meeting. And “chumpets” like Mr. Altemose believe that this “president” is protecting us from the big, bad world. Should we also commend “chump” for calling his buddy Putin to congratulate him on an election win based on murder and intimidation? Is the fact that our “president” made this call despite
warnings from his legal team and his Republican cronies not cause for concern? The actions of this White House inhabitant are unprecedented — and not in the good way his supporters believe — and are putting us in a very precarious situation that will simmer until it blows. Our only saving grace is that Mr. Mueller is in the final stretch toward liberation from this horrific administration and hopefully the damage will eventually be undone. With November in sight, those who continue to assuage “chump’s” maniacal behavior will be voted out, allowing for a path to resurrection of our democracy and a sense of sanity in Washington, D.C.

Encouraging praising, not judging Praising a brave Parkland student is the right thing to do, and I almost thought Elio Zappulla was coming around to reason in his letter, “Praising a brave Parkland student,” in the March 22 edition of The Village Times Herald. Until, that is, he wrote that he wanted us to attentively note that this brave student is of a minority group. What on earth does that have to do with his brave actions? “Sadly, Latinos, along with other groups, are often victims in our country of senseless prejudice,” he
wrote. Which, of course, Elio just had to mention. So clearly, only certain people have the ability to judge — yeah, I like that too, “judge” — from criteria derived “almost exclusively from what the individual has done, or said or written.” And judging by “race, religion, ethnic origin, etc.,” is “alas how un-American.” Sarcasm follows: I’m glad Elio pointed this out to us dumb, ignorant, stupid, unAmerican idiots. Who do you suppose he is referring to? Can
you say basket of deplorables? I am saddened to see that Elio feels he is better than those of us whom he’s so astutely categorized as the group with senseless prejudice — how ironic. He should stop acting like a 10-year-old kid. His comments are sometimes entertaining, but I’ve stopped being amused by them because I realize that he actually believes them. Just give it a rest.

OPINION
Standing tall on the volleyball court
I
looked around the packed Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia this past weekend. Let’s face it, I and — more importantly — my genes, fell short. It’s not necessarily a character flaw, but it’s not exactly the kind of advantage I’d want to give my children. There I was, cheering on my vertically challenged daughter in a game where height matters. Despite her stature, she has developed a royal passion for volleyball. The perpetual smile By Daniel Dunaief that crosses her face when she steps across the lines makes it all worthwhile, despite the effort, the expense, the endless attempts to get the stink out of her knee pads — and the driving through horrific traffic. She couldn’t be happier than
D. None of the above
when she’s throwing her small body around the floor, trying to get to some giant’s smash that seemed only a moment earlier out of her reach. When you have children, you want them to find their way, to develop outlets that they find rewarding and to contribute to something bigger than they are. Sports, I know, don’t cure disease. And yet, somehow, it’s become part of the American way, with people flying, driving and caravanning from all over the country to play in competitive tournaments where, if they succeed, they can get enough points to make it to nationals. So, there we were, listening to whistle after whistle at this volleyball attention-deficit-disorder factory when it occurred to me how my genes did my daughter no great favors. Many of the fathers towered over me. If I lived in a land where food were placed near the ceiling, I and my offspring would starve. My mother played volleyball when she was younger. She was tallish for her generation. I played volleyball
as well, although not nearly at the competitive level that has taken my daughter to places around the area, including Penn State. While my daughter is involved in numerous activities inside and outside school, it is volleyball that tops the list. When we go on vacation anywhere, the first thing she looks for is a place to play volleyball. As I watched her warm up for the third match of the day, I chatted with some of the parents from Virginia, Texas and Arizona that we met this past weekend. After some pleasantries about the event, the conversation inevitably turned toward the identity of our daughters. I could see the satisfaction they felt at pointing out their children from across the convention center floor. “My daughter is the one ducking her head down to walk under the exit sign over there.” “My daughter? She’s just a hair over 6 feet tall, but she’s still growing. How about you?” I’d smile sheepishly. “My daughter is in the middle of her teammates
over there.” “Where?” they’d ask politely. “She’s No. 9.” They’d squint into the group. Just then, my daughter would laugh her way to the outside of a circle of girls that looked like a group of gnats, diving in and out of the center of a circle of joy. Then again, as I watched her throw herself across the floor, I thought about the match between her personality and the role she plays in this sport. Sure, it’d be easier for her to stand out if she were taller. But, given her need to defy expectations, she’d probably want to be a jockey if she were 6 feet tall. As the weekend came to a close, I asked her if she wished she could play volleyball every day. “Of course,” she said. “Can you imagine having a job one day that made you feel that way?” I asked. “Yeah,” she smiled, trying to imagine a job that fits her interests as well as volleyball.
about 30-45 minutes, but between the prep at the office and the recovery, it’s a two-to-four hour event. The first time I had this test, I wanted to be awake to see the inside of the intestine, which is actually quite beautiful. It looks like a braid, as much more surface area can effectively fit into a small area. Tiny red and blue blood vessels crisscross the sides. Of course in order to see all this clearly, the intestine must first be totally cleaned out, which is probably the less pleasant part of the whole deal. Some fasting is involved, anything red, like a tomato, or a seed or nut that might block the view, is to be avoided, and in the last 12 hours before the test, a liquid laxative that spikes 64 ounces of Gatorade is ingested. I was advised to wear loose and comfortable clothing and to leave cash and jewelry at home. Upon arrival, I was given two of those infamous hospital gowns, one to face front and the other the rear. My clothes were secured in a locker, and after a thorough history was unhurriedly taken, the nurse placed an intravenous (IV) line into my arm.
After my first experience, I chose to be fully sedated this time. I was given the good news, that all was well, when I awoke. As a result of the sedation, however, I could not just get up and drive but needed to be accompanied by a companion. In my case it was my son, who could steer me through the hallway and into the car, then drive me home. Shortly after I arrived back in the kitchen, I realized I was ravenous and began refilling my intestine. There is a mild bit of bloating after the test as a result of the air that is added, but that is not particularly uncomfortable and disappears within hours. I was advised not to drive a car, operate any machinery or power tools (unlikely), drink any alcoholic beverages or make any important decisions until the following day. There are other forms of the colonoscopy that are somewhat less invasive, but my understanding is that this variant is the most thorough and therefore the most desirable. As for the silver lining? I did appear to lose a couple of pounds, at least for now.
Working to keep my end up
I
t was five years since I had a colonoscopy, so I made an appointment to repeat the procedure. It was not a date on the calendar I was looking forward to. I understand the importance of this test for me, so I did what I had to do. My dad died of intestinal cancer, as did several of his siblings, so the family warning is clear. Had this test been available at the time he was stricken, and his cancer discovered, I have little doubt that my dad, robust and By Leah S. Dunaief aathletic man, would have otherwise lived a longer life than his 70 years. A 2015 German study published in the European Journal of Cancer confirmed that colonoscopy screening “will lead to substantial reductions in
Between you and me
the colorectal cancer burden.” So what is a colonoscopy? I write to explain the test in the hopes of encouraging any readers who might be postponing and avoiding that appointment to take care of that little task once they turn 50. It is my understanding that in most cases, health insurance will cover the costs, which in itself is evidence of the importance of the test. And the experience is not so awful. In fact there is, so to speak, a silver lining, but more about that later. Here are the details. A flexible tube, called a colonoscope, with a video camera on the end that is connected to a large screen in the room, is inserted through the rectum and allows the gastroenterologist to examine the inside of the large intestine. The physician then searches for any abnormalities such as polyps, which can turn into cancer, and usually removes them. The scope rides on a cushion of air that is provided, kind of like a maglev train moves along smoothly without touching the ground through magnetic levitation. The actual procedure takes only

Health Link Health Information from Local Health Care Professionals
Jana Deitch, MD, FACS Medical Director, Breast Health Services St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center The American Cancer Society estimates 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women this year alone. The expert clinicians at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center urge you to take the time to understand early screening and options. St. Catherine of Siena offers comprehensive Breast Health Services, with a focus on early detection and patient education, advanced diagnostic and breast-conservation techniques, offering minimally invasive surgeries, in a supportive, patient-centered environment.
I have no family What are signs history of breast cancer, of breast cancer? when should I start breast cancer screening? A. Most breast cancers do
Do I need genetic testing?
A. No. Some people like to believe that breast cancer is caused by the radiation emitted from a mammogram. However, the amount of radiation that a person is exposed to during a routine mammogram is insignificant compared to the amount of radiation they are exposed to in the natural environment. Mammograms have minimal risk, and the benefits are so much greater.
A. Some women (and men) with personal history or family history of breast cancer meet criteria for genetic testing. There are many criterion, which include a breast cancer diagnosis before the age of 50, breast cancer at any age in an Ashkenazi Jewish person, family history of male breast cancer, or family history of ovarian cancer. If you do not know if you should get testing, you can meet with a genetic counselor or a breast specialist who will help determine if you should be tested.
I have family history of breast cancer, what should I do? A. See a breast specialist. They will determine your specific lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. Based on those results, high risk screening MRI’s may be recommended, along with your annual mammography. The age to begin screening also varies, associated with other factors like the age of your relative’s diagnosis. A breast specialist may also recommend genetic counseling and testing.
156732
A. I follow the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for breast cancer screening. For average risk women, it is recommended to begin annual mammography screening at age 40. If your mammogram shows you have dense tissue, then a screening ultrasound should also be performed. If you have family history of breast cancer, it is recommended to begin screening at 40 or 10 years before your relative’s age of diagnosis, whichever occurs first.
not have any signs. That is why it is so important to have your annual screening mammogram, which detects breast cancer in its earliest stage. Some breast cancers present as a palpable mass. A rare form of breast cancer can present as redness and swelling of your breast and mimics an infection. However, the majority of breast cancers do not have any signs or symptoms.
Do mammograms cause breast cancer?
