Babylon SJB Student Signs Intent for Ohio State

Babylon's Jillian May signed a letter on intent to attend and play for Ohio State University.

Watch out, Ohio State – a Babylonian is joining the Buckeyes!

Jillian May, a Babylon resident who is completing her senior year at St. John the Baptist High School in West Islip, signed a letter on intent to attend Ohio State University in the Fall of 2013 and play women's lacrosse.

May is a standout girls lacrosse player for the St. John Cougars, taking All-League honors in her freshman and sophomore years before making the Long Island top 100 All-Stars last year.

“I am very proud of Jill and her accomplishments," said Girls Lacrosse Coach Janine Pirone. She has been a great asset to the Girls Lacrosse program playing a role in any success we have had. I am excited to still see her wear more Red and White at Ohio State and for her success there in the next four years. Both myself and the coaching staff wish her the best of luck.”

The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a document used by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to indicate a student athlete's commitment to participating in interscholastic athletics in the United States.

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
