Eventful Playoffs For the Ross Team

    The past two weeks have been eventful inasmuch as the Ross School’s boys tennis team is concerned. In that span, the Cosmos, as was the case last year, finished as the runner-up to Half Hollow Hills East in the county team final, and its top doubles team, Henry Lee and Felipe Reis, made it to the quarterfinal round of the state tourney after having won county and conference championships.     No other boys doubles team from East Hampton has ever gotten as far as Lee, who’s a senior, and Reis, who’s a sophomore, did. The Ross School can now boast of three county tennis champions in Lee, Reis, and Nadia Smergut, who last fall became the first female from East Hampton to win a county singles title since Sandy Fleischman did so in 1978.     “Their chemistry is good, they poach, they volley well, they have nice kick serves . . . and they never give up,” continued Carmo, who told his players after they’d lost the first set to stay with their opponents and see if they couldn’t get up for once and thus put pressure on the Hunter-Bertuglia team, which hadn’t been used to coming from behind this season.     Lee and Reis, as aforesaid, made it to the quarters, where they were defeated 6-2, 6-1 by the eventual runners-up, Kyle Berman and Jordan Kaufman of Byram Hills. In the first two rounds, the Ross duo defeated Orchard Park’s Dina Sawyer and Sam Korach 6-1, 7-6 (7-4) and Elmira’s Dominic and Jakob Parfianolicz 6-1, 7-6 (8-6), coming back from 2-6 in the tiebreaker.     To get to the final round of the county team tourney Ross swept through matches with Northport, Sayville, and Patchogue-Medford. The Cosmos, who were intent on playing their way back to the final round, shut out Northport 7-0, defeated Sayville 6-1 (with Richard Sipala, its number-one, losing 7-5, 6-1 to Tyler Hoffman), and shut out Patchogue Medford 7-0.     Hills East’s coach, Tom Depelteau, whose team had defeated Ross 5-2 in a nonleaguer played in Ross’s bubble in early April, and Carmo each played strong doubles lineups in the county final. “I was hoping to get all three doubles points and that Richard would win at first singles, which put a lot of pressure on him,” said Carmo. “I figured that would be the only way we could win.” Ross wound up losing the match 6-1.

 HB 463 CONCERNS SOME 120 CHANGES IN CURRENT LAW RE: SENTENCING, PROBATION, PAROLE AND DRUG OFFENSES

FRANKFORT, Ky., June 16, 2011 – (Name of judge) who serves (county/counties), participated in a District Judges Seminar on June 3 about how district judges are to handle pretrial release and bond determinations based on House Bill 463, which took effect June 8, 2011. The AOC offered the seminar in Frankfort for all district judges and trial commissioners and circuit judges who share on-call rotations with district judges.

HB 463 is the most concentrated overhaul of Kentucky’s penal code in more than 30 years and was supported by all three branches of government. The legislation is designed to curb the cost of incarceration without compromising public safety.

“House Bill 463 directly affects how district judges do their jobs, especially in the areas of pretrial release and bond,” said Campbell County District Court Judge Karen A. Thomas, who also serves as president of the Kentucky District Judges Association, chair of the District Judges Education Committee and chief regional district judge for the Northern Region. “The seminar was helpful in preparing the judges for the significant changes that come with the new law. These changes require judges to set lower bonds and authorize substantial credit for days served in jail in lieu of requiring defendants to pay costs and fines.”

The three-hour seminar included an introduction to HB 463 and in-depth training on the tool that pretrial officers use to assess risk among pretrial defendants. Pretrial officers use the results of the risk assessment to help judges determine whether to grant pretrial release to defendants. The Administrative Office of the Courts operates the statewide pretrial services program.

Under HB 463, judges are required to consider the pretrial risk assessment when setting bonds and to grant pretrial release to low- and moderate-risk defendants, which are those who pose a low risk of flight, are likely to appear for trial and are not likely to be a danger to others. The legislation limits bond amounts for misdemeanor offenses and mandates that defendants receive credit of $100 per day toward bond and $50 to $100 a day in jail credit toward any fines owed except in certain circumstances. HB 463 calls for law enforcement officers to cite individuals for most misdemeanor offenses rather than arrest them.
