Banzer’s bashNew superintendent gets warm welcomeBY ROHMA ABBAS

R e c e n t l y - a p p o i n t e d Northport-East Northport Superintendent Rob Banzer got a grand welcome to the district on Monday, as school o� cials showered the new leader with an evening full of music, speeches, cake and cheer.

Banzer walked into a decked-out cafeteria at the William Brosnan administra-tion building on Laurel Ave-nue. � e room was lined with posters created by students, which welcomed Banzer with phrases like, “Welcome to Northport, Come Visit Norwood” from Norwood Avenue Elementary School; “We’re so happy to meet you!” from students at the Dick-inson Avenue Elementary School; and “Bellerose Wel-

comes Mr. Banzer.”Members of the school

board also attended. Presi-dent Julia Binger and Vice President Andrew Rapiejko

A new iteration of a pro-posal to build a senior assisted living facility near a wooded Huntington neighborhood will be the subject of a town board public hearing next month.

The board scheduled the hearing on Tuesday to consider changing the zone on the six-acre property to allow the Massachusetts-based Benchmark Senior Living to proceed with the project, which would be lo-cated on the corner of East Main Street and Washing-ton Drive. Benchmark is looking to rezone the prop-erty from C-3 Special Busi-ness and R-10 Residential to R-HS Residential Health Services District to make way for the facility.

� e project has gone through several versions. � e proposed number of units has been brought down from 87 to 69 units. Also, the building will be two stories instead of three, and the pro-posed on-site sewage treat-ment plant has been moved to the northwest corner of the lot, adjacent to commer-cial property.

A 40-foot wide natural bu� er along Old Northport Road will be built, and the gross � oor area would be slightly reduced from 70,567 square feet to 66,995.

Some residents who live near the property have op-posed the plan, citing size, tra� c and noise concerns. A group of residents, who call themselves United Home-owners of Huntington, has

Terminally ill teen’s biggest wish comes true

Photo from Katrina Kurczak Marissa Pastore, 14, gets the surprise of a lifetime when Disney characters visit her.

By BarBara Donlon

A 14-year-old Huntington Station girl who was recently diagnosed with a termi-nal illness got the wish of her life on Sunday when her favorite Disney characters came out to celebrate with her.

Marissa Pastore, who has been diag-nosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

(ALL) on April 20, was treated at the Cohen Children’s Center, but her fragile body was unable to handle the chemotherapy, accord-ing to a GoFundMe online fundraising ac-count set up for the family. A few days later, Marissa returned home with her mom Risa, dad Domenick and two brothers Domenick and Ryan, to enjoy their final days together.

Huntington school officials eye tax base growthProjections could mean scaled back tax rate next year

File photo by Rohma Abbas Huntington school board members attend a town board meeting last year.

By RoHma aBBas

Huntington school district taxpay-ers could see a little extra cash in their wallets next year, if tentative numbers projecting a greater tax base pan out, the district said this week.

School officials announced on Tues-day that the total value of all its as-sessed properties is expected to rise in 2015-16 by just under one percent — from about $44.8 million this year to $45.3 million in 2015-16. The district cited figures from an April 30 letter it received from Huntington Town Assessor Roger Ramme.

That projection is also significantly higher than an estimate officials used to craft next year’s pro-posed $120.3 million budget, which district residents will weigh in on in a vote on May 19. If that budget is ap-proved and the hike in assessed valu-ation becomes a reality, then taxpayers could see an estimated tax increase of just .83 percent, instead of the 2.27 percent officials estimated.

“The tentative spike in assessed valu-

ation translates into good news for tax-payers,” Superintendent Jim Polansky said in a statement on the district’s web-site. “It can be attributed to a number of factors, not the least of which is an in-crease in fully taxed properties within district boundaries. While we expect some downward adjustment between now and the fall board meeting during which the tax rate is set, we anticipate that it will be considerably lower than

initially projected.”The assessed valuation

won’t be concluded until the fall, and it’s likely the assessed valuation will slip from now until then, when the tax rate is set, the district noted. But if

the assessed valuation is finalized at an amount that’s greater than what was used to develop the 2015-16 budget, the school board, “would be in a position to reduce the earlier projected tax rate increase, appropriate less money from the district’s fund balance or some combination of the two,” according to the statement.

This wouldn’t be the first year Hun-tington school district enjoyed a greater-

than-budgeted assessed valuation. “Trustees have a long history of re-

turning to residents, through a lower tax rate, any increased revenues the district derives from a late-breaking rise in assessed valuation,” accord-

ing to the district. “That tradition is expected to continue in the fall, should the tentative increase hold in large part.”

Town officials could not immediately be reached for comment on Wednesday.

A contingent of 21 Latinos from Suf-folk County has filed a class-action feder-al lawsuit suit against the Suffolk County Police Department, claiming several of-ficers robbed them or issued them traffic citations in unfounded, race-based stops over a 10-year period.

Lawyers also charge the department with failing to correct a culture of dis-criminatory policing that has existed for years within the police force.

The case comes more than a year after Suffolk County Police Sgt. Scott Greene was arrested after a January 2014 sting operation uncovered he was taking mon-ey from a Latino driver. The lawsuit, filed in federal court on Wednesday, April 29, lists Suffolk County, its police depart-ment, Police Chief Ed Webber, Greene and others as defendants. LatinoJustice PRLDEF and the firm Shearman & Ster-ling LLP are litigating the case pro bono.

Greene’s arrest sparked the lawsuit, according to the attorneys. LatinoJustice PRLDEF and the nonprofit organization Make the Road New York, which provides services for Latino and working class families, claimed after Greene’s arrest it learned from “dozens of victims who had been too afraid or thought it pointless, to com-plain about widespread police criminal-ity,” according to a statement by Latino-Justice PRLDEF.

Meanwhile, Bob Clifford, spokesman for Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota, responded to the suit in a state-ment last week. He said that after the DA’s office spent hundreds of hours interview-ing more than 50 individuals with Lati-noJustice PRLDEF and Make the Road New York, two indictments encompass-ing 81 criminal charges involving 27 Hispanic victims were returned against Greene alone.

“There is no credible evidence that Greene acted with other police officers,” Clifford said.

All the 21 plaintiffs are anonymous and all, except for one, are male, according to the lawsuit. In a phone interview this week, Foster Maer, senior litigation coun-sel for LatinoJustice PRLDEF, declined to provide details on where in Suffolk the individuals live, nor could he say if they are related to one another. The sting op-eration involving Greene occurred in the Farmingville, Medford and Coram areas, according to the lawsuit.

In its statement, LatinoJustice PRLDEF alleges that most of its 21 plaintiffs were

stopped and robbed while driving, while others were sitting in a parked vehicle or walking down the street.

“The victims claimed that one or more officers would, in clear violation of police rules, get a hold of the victim’s wallet and then return it a few minutes later with one or two hundred dollars missing,” accord-ing to the statement.

The firm also stated that it requested the DA expand the investigation beyond Greene and claims the DA “has not re-plied to the request and in fact has only indicted Sgt. Greene in the robberies.”

Clifford, in his statement, however, said some of the incidents LatinoJustice PRLDEF claims the DA ignored are cov-ered by the indictment against Greene.

“At no time did LatinoJustice provide any information whatsoever that any vic-tims were robbed by police officers,” he said. “At no time did LatinoJustice pro-vide any audio tape to investigators re-garding any alleged crime.”

Asked how the firms would prove the alleged crimes occurred by officers other than Greene, Maer said the case would

rely on victim testimony as “pretty hard proof.” He also said Suffolk County has access to location data of police cars, something he hopes will help narrow down officers involved in crimes.

Scrutiny of Suffolk County’s police practices toward Latinos is not new. In 2013, the county Legislature ratified a settlement with the federal Department of Justice, culminating a five-year long in-vestigation following the stabbing death of Ecuadorian Marcelo Lucero, labeled a hate crime.

The 2008 case, which ignited tensions in the county over perceived anti-Hispan-ic bias within the department, also gained national prominence. That settlement outlines a number of reforms within the department, including a minimum of annual training for officers on remov-ing bias from policing and on identifying hate crimes; designating officers who will interface with local communities to hear concerns and work to solve neighborhood problems; meeting with leaders of the La-tino community as well as other minor-ity communities for feedback; and send-ing all allegations, formal or informal, of police misconduct to the SCPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau for investigation, as well as track complaints and analyze trends.

“As we have done continuously since the beginning of this investigation, we continue to urge victims to contact the district attorney’s office,” Clifford said.

Kidney Stones: Get Relief from the Pain and DiscomfortFifteen percent of Americans will experience the pain of kidney stones at some point in their lives, but there are treatments available that can reduce or eliminate suffering. Jennifer Hill, MD, a urologist at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, part of North Shore-LIJ Health System, discusses what you need to know about this condition.

Kidney stone disease is not only one of the most common afflictions of modern times, but kidney stones also tend to recur, meaning they develop again after you’ve been treated. If you have formed stones before, a recurrent bout of stone pain is usually easily recognized. The symptoms of kidney stone pain, or renal colic, are:• Severe back pain that is sudden• Nausea and vomiting• The inability to get into a comfortable position• Abdominal pain that wraps around the flank (the side of your body

between the ribs and the hip) to the front of the abdomen• Urinary frequency and urgency without much urine passage• Labial, vaginal, penile or testicular pain that is not made worse by

touching the area

Passing a kidney stone can be painful and time-consuming, but treatment options are available, including:• Medical expulsive therapy — medicine, usually given by an ER

physician or urologist, to allow quicker passage of stones • Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, or ESWL — a non-invasive

treatment for stones using shock waves• Ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy — a small scope is inserted into

the bladder and passed into the ureter to locate and remove stones• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or PCNL — endoscopic removal

of large stones through a small incision in the back

There are several types of stones, and each has a different cause and treatment.• Calcium oxalate — the most common kind of kidney stone • Uric acid — stones related to low urine output and a diet high in red

meat and other kinds of animal protein• Struvite — stones usually associated with urinary tract infection• Cysteine stones — very hard stones, difficult to treat and control • Very rare stones — including xanthine, matrix, drug-induced stones,

silica and triamterene

When dealing with recurrent kidney stones, prevention is key. If you’ve suffered from stones in the past, the following can help prevent their recurrence: • Drink three liters of water a day in order to keep your urine diluted• Follow a low-sodium diet• Increase citrus foods in your diet — citrus helps prevent stones

from forming

There are many other ways to prevent stone formation. It is important to partner with a urologist to help you in your battle with kidney stones.

If you or a loved one suffers from kidney stones, call (516) 734-8500 today to make an appointment with one of our urologists in Suffolk County. For more information, visit NorthShoreLIJ.com/Smith.

Report: CSH Lab matters to LI’s economy and beyondBy Daniel Dunaeif

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a re-search center that has produced eight Nobel Prize winners and is stocked with first-class scientists generating reams of data every year, shared some numbers earlier this week on its economic impact on Long Island.

The facility brought in about $140 mil-lion in revenue in 2013 to Long Island from federal grants, private philanthropy, numerous scientific educational programs and the commercialization of technology its scientists have developed, according to a report, “Shaping Long Island’s Bio-economy: The Economic Impact of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory,” compiled by Appleseed, a private consulting firm.

At the same time the lab tackles diseases like cancer, autism and Parkinson’s, and employs 1,106 people with 90 percent work-ing full time and 987 living on Long Island.

“We are recognized as being one of the top research institutions throughout the world,” Bruce Stillman, the president and CEO of CSHL said in an interview. The economic impact may help Long Island-ers become “aware that such a prestigious institution exists in their backyard.”

Stillman highlighted programs that benefit the community, including public lectures, concerts and the school of edu-cation, which includes the DNA Learn-

ing Center, a tool to build a greater un-derstanding of genetics.

The financial benefit to the economy extends well beyond Long Island, too.

“The research we do has an enormous impact on the development by others of therapeutics and plant science in agricul-ture,” Stillman said.

Indeed, Pfizer recently received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for a breast cancer drug called Ibrance that is expected to produce $5 billion in annual sales by 2020. The research that helped lead to that drug was conducted at CSHL in 1994.

In its 125-year history, this is the first time the laboratory has provided a breakdown of its financial benefit.

The impetus for this report occurred a few years ago, when Stillman met with Stony Brook University President Dr. Samuel Stanley Jr. and Sam Aronson, who was then the CEO of Brookhaven National Laboratory.

“We were talking about promoting further interactions and seeking state support,” Stillman said.

This year, CSHL will bring online a pre-clinical experimental therapeutics facility that will build out the nonprofit group’s research capabilities.

At the same time, CSHL is awaiting word on a $25 million grant it is seeking

from New York State to support a pro-posed Center for Therapeutics Research.

The center would cost about $75 mil-lion in total, with CSHL raising money through philanthropic donations, part-nerships with industry and federal aid. The center would “fit in well with our affiliation with North Shore-LIJ [Health System],” Stillman said.

CSHL plans to create the center in the Demerec Laboratory, which was completed in 1953 and needs an upgrade. Named af-ter Milislav Demerec, a previous director at CSHL who mass-produced penicillin that was shipped overseas to American troops

during World War II, the building has been home to four Nobel Prize-winning scien-tists: Barbara McClintock, Alfred Hershey, Rich Roberts and Carol Greider.

The renovated lab would house a broad range of research strengths, with candi-dates including a number of cancer drugs that are in the early stages of clinical trials; a therapeutic effort for spinal muscular at-rophy, which is the leading genetic cause of death among infants; diabetes; and obesity.

The revenue from CSHL, as well as that from BNL, SBU and North Shore-LIJ, Stillman said, all have a “huge economic benefit to the Long Island community.”

POLICE BLOTTERIncidents and arrests from April 27–May 2

By Elana Glowatz

A driver is dead after his car went into a house in Huntington last Friday night.

The Suffolk County Police Depart-ment said 49-year-old James Spillane was driving a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder west on Woodhull Road about 11:38 p.m. when he veered to the left and drove across a house’s lawn. He crashed into the northeast corner of the home, which is located near the corner with Hilaire Drive.

Spillane, a Syosset resident, was pro-nounced dead at the scene. He may have experienced a medical event before the Nissan left the road, police said.

No one in the home was injured, ac-cording to police, and the house had mi-nor damage.

Police impounded the Pathfinder for a safety check and detectives from the SCPD’s 2nd Squad are investigating the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call the detectives at 631-854-8252.

Driver dead after house crash

Bad reality checksA 19-year-old man from Huntington

was arrested in Huntington on May 2 and charged with two counts of petit larceny. Police said that, in separate incidents, he took the checking account numbers of two individuals and cashed checks. The incidents occurred on April 3 and April 13.

Crash ‘n goPolice said a 46-year-old Hauppauge

male was arrested on April 28 in Hun-tington at the 2nd Precinct and charged with leaving the scene of a car accident. Police said the man was driving a 2008 Toyota on Broadhollow Road in Melville on April 10 at 2 p.m. and he collided with a 2000 Jeep, causing damage to the rear end of the vehicle. He failed to stop and speak with the driver.

Burglarized blingA 40-year-old man from Huntington

Station was arrested in Huntington on April 27 at the 2nd Precinct and charged with fourth-degree grand larceny of prop-erty valued at more than $1,000. Police said that sometime between 1 a.m. and 11 p.m. on April 26, the man removed an iPad, gold and a watch.

Popo pushA 22-year-old woman from Central Islip

was arrested in Greenlawn on April 30 at about 9:20 a.m. and charged with second-degree obstructing governmental admin-istration. Police said she pushed a police officer trying to take down a police report.

Best friends foreverA man claimed his friend punched him

in the face and kicked him on May 2 on East 13th Street and Varney Avenue in Hunting-ton. The victim was taken to the hospital.

Prints, kettle missingA Huntington man told police that he

discovered several items missing when he went to his dad’s house on Marine Street to help him pack his belongings. The items in-cluded a Currier and Ives lithographic print and a solid copper kettle. The incidents oc-curred sometime between April 21 at noon and April 25 at 3 p.m.

formed to oppose the plan.Jane Carter, a resident who be-

longs to the group, asked the town board at the meeting on Tuesday to keep the zoning on the property in tact. She said the project “hasn’t changed enough.”

William Bonesso, a Uniondale at-torney representing Benchmark for the project, also attended the Tuesday meeting. In an interview last year, he spoke of a need for the project.

“Fortunately or unfortunately, we’re living on an island that’s ag-ing,” he said.

Councilman Mark Cuthbert-son (D) sponsored the resolution to schedule a public hearing. He said in an interview with reporters after the meeting that the public hearing was a chance to evaluate whether the public’s concerns about the project are addressed

“It’s been kicking around,” he said. “They came up with what they believed was a different plan so let’s put it before public hearing, decide whether it should go forward.”

Suffolk legislator pushes green roof pilot projectCounty lawmaker says program could save money while boosting larger-scale environmental benefitsBy Phil Corso

A North Shore lawmaker is calling on Suffolk County to give green a chance.

Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) is pushing a pilot program that, if en-acted, would inject green roof construction prin-ciples into roof repair or replacement plans for one county-owned build-ing on a trial basis.

A “green roof” uses a garden or plantings to increase energy efficiency by insulating the build-ing in the winter and re-ducing solar absorption in the summer, to decrease the need for heating and air conditioning, according to the not-for-profit Green Roofs for Healthy Cities organization. Green roofs can also at-tract various pollinating insect species, which would serve as an environmental benefit to the surrounding region.

“Structures that employ green roof concepts report increased energy ef-ficiency,” Hahn said. “In the munici-palities that have already installed these

roofs, officials have discovered that be-ing green is saving green.”

If enacted in Suffolk County, the pilot project would take root atop one county-owned building, Hahn spokesman Seth Squicciarino said. The county’s Department

of Public Works would monitor the green roof to measure the benefits.

If successful, similar roof renovations could sprout up throughout the county.

Hahn said the DPW would select which build-ing in Suffolk should get the roof repair or re-

placement project, select a vendor for the work and provide periodic reports on its progress as the seasons pass.

The plan was first put on the table March 3, and the county legislature’s Public Works, Transportation and En-ergy Committee mulled over the pro-posal at its April 20 meeting.

Hahn said municipalities through-out the country were already looking into similar projects and, in some cases, requiring new construction projects to

include green roof principles. As for Long Island, green roofs are already in full bloom on the SUNY Old Westbury campus and on the East End’s southern fork.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized green roof projects as an effective management practice that, if implemented on a large scale,

would reduce the volume of stormwater entering local waterways and lower wa-ter temperatures to enhance water qual-ity. New York City has already enacted a $4.50 property tax abatement for each square foot of many green roof projects, and the city of Syracuse has allocated nearly $4 million toward 37 different green roof projects to date.

File photosuffolk County legislator Kara hahn is working on a resolution that would install a green roof on top of one of the county’s building to test the environmental and financial benefits.

‘In the municipalities that have already installed these roofs, officials have discovered that being green is saving green.’

New program aims to boost solar in HuntingtonBy Rohma aBBas

Huntington Town residents looking to go solar can let the sunshine in at a dis-count, thanks to a new group-purchasing program spearheaded by town and City University of New York officials.

On Monday afternoon, town hall offi-cials unveiled Solarize Huntington, a pro-gram that attempts to incentivize residents to go solar by offering discounts of up to 25 percent on installation costs through installer Direct Energy Solar. The level of discount would increase as the number of participants in the Solarize Huntington program grows, according to the town and Sustainable CUNY of the City University of New York. Solarize Huntington will also include educational workshops about solar energy and guidance on the process of going solar.

The program, which officially launched on May 4, runs through Sept. 10.

Homeowners who participate could purchase, finance or lease solar systems from Direct Energy Solar, the installer selected by CUNY through a competitive bidding process, town spokesman A.J. Carter said. Direct Energy Solar is also of-fering an additional $500 discount to the first 20 homeowners who sign contracts.

The average solar installation, with state and federal incentives included, could cost a Huntington homeowner around $16,000

for a 7-kilowatt system, according to Jus-tin Strachan, a New York State solar om-budsman with Sustainable CUNY. Solar-ize Huntington could reduce that cost to somewhere around $12,000, he said.

Solar is already popular in Huntington Town, CUNY and town officials noted on Monday. Officials from Sustainable CUNY, Supervisor Frank Petrone (D), Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) and Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) at-tended a press conference launching the program on Monday at which Petrone said that last year the town received 500 appli-cations for solar installation permits.

“So that tells you the popularity and it tells you people are yearning for a pro-gram, for a supervised program, and something that’s going to be meaningful and cost-effective,” Petrone said.

Laurie Reilly, who directs communi-cations for Sustainable CUNY, said the Solarize Huntington program is just one program among other solar initia-tives funded by a more than $1 million U.S. Department of Energy grant. She also said Huntington was selected for the program because, at the time of the grant application, the town committed to work with Sustainable CUNY to make solar more accessible to residents.

“Huntington was the first one to step up and the first one to say, ‘We would like to do this.’”

This isn’t the only thing Huntington Town has done in recent years to encour-age and increase the use of solar power to cut down on the consumption of fossil fuels. The town recently approved a fast-track process for approval of solar installa-tion permits and used a federal grant sev-eral years ago to install solar panels at town hall, the town said in a statement.

The program launch is thanks to the partnership of Sustainable CUNY, the New York Solar Smart Program, the town

and the town’s Advisory Committee on Energy Efficiency, Renewables, and Sus-tainability, according to a town statement.

Residents interested in signing up for the program can do it online at solarize-huntington.com or at one of the Solarize 101 informational workshops the town is sponsoring to help residents learn of the program’s benefits.

The first workshop will be held on Monday, May 11, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at town hall.

spoke before formally introducing Ban-zer. Binger thanked the district’s super-intendent search committee and hon-ored their work by handing one of its members, James Ruck, retired Sachem school district superintendent, a certifi-cate of appreciation.

Rapiejko, who introduced Banzer, a Northport High School graduate, spoke about consensus. He noted that while the school board and district residents may not see eye to eye on everything, Banzer’s appointment came with a “degree of una-nimity.” He described Banzer as “some-one who will exercise firm, focused and compassionate leadership.”

When Banzer took the microphone, he spoke about the importance of see-ing students not as where they are, but what they could be and gave a shout-out to staff at Northport-East Northport who believed in him — people he said inspired him to become who he is today.

“In my role, my hope here is that ev-ery single child in the Northport-East Northport school district can tell that story that they are touched and they can be inspired by the staff — and it doesn’t

just have to be teachers,” he said. “It can be administrators, it can be anybody. It can be food service workers, it can be custodians — anybody — that they, they feel inspired. And I see that as our role. My role as superintendent is to partner with our board of education, partner with the community, partner with the administration and the staff to make that a reality.”

As the dust attempts to settle follow-ing two weeks of state assessment ad-ministration, preceded by months of politically charged debate and activism, I’ll, once again, express my plea that the state powers-that-be reflect on the situ-ation and its root causes and attempt to redirect their decision-making toward what is in the best interests of the chil-dren of New York.

I can attest to the fact that the admin-istrators, teachers and staff members in Huntington clearly understand their re-sponsibilities. They continue to develop and refine their crafts but have never lost sight of the individual differences dem-onstrated by the students in their class-rooms or buildings. They comprehend the concept of college and career readi-ness and recognize their roles within a systemic approach to a child’s education. They have instructionally prepared their students in alignment with the new stan-dards, while continually striving to instill

in students a love of learning. They have done everything possible to put aside their anxieties in the face of statewide educational unrest, rapidly moving eval-uation targets and mandates that seem-ingly appear out of nowhere. I imagine all of this is characteristic of the majority of schools and districts throughout the state.

I’d like to think that some learning has been accomplished or perspective gained from recent events. For example, broad-scale changes are likely to meet with failure if necessary preparations are not made or if measures are not put into place to facilitate those changes. (The cli-ché applies — one cannot build a plane while it is being flown.) No amount of federal monies is worth the potential out-comes of a rushed and, therefore, flawed change process.

I’ll add that the importance of ac-countability and evaluation should not be minimized. But an unproven system based on unproven measures will surely contribute to inaccurate outcomes — both false positive and false negative.

Education Law §3012-d has been passed. It requires the state’s Board of Re-gents to redesign the Annual Profession-al Performance Review (APPR) process

by June 30 and subsequently requires districts to submit a new plan by Sept. 1. The bulk of plan development would be slated for a time when key stakeholders may not be available.

There are numerous education-related issues facing New York at this juncture. These issues must be approached with common sense and, again, with an eye toward what is best for our students. Why not begin such an approach with accepting the recent recommendation and allowing districts until at least Sep-tember 2016 to build valid and sensible APPR plans? Give districts the time, re-sources and capacity to do this right. Pro-vide them with the guidance and support

they need. Leave threats of withholding aid out of the equation.

Education in New York is broken as a result of misguided and rushed initia-tives that have left districts to their own devices to address state policy issues and misinformation spread throughout their communities. It is imperative that those in Albany reflect on what has happened and take the critical steps needed to re-store transparency, close the wounds and repair what was and could return to be-ing one of the finest educational systems in the country.

Jim Polansky is the superintendent of the Huntington school district and former high school principal.

Shanahan joins the Eagle Scout flockLegislator Steve Stern (D-

Huntington) honored Liam Shanahan, of East Northport, with a proclamation to mark the celebratory occasion of the young leader becoming an Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable in Boy Scouts of America.

Shanahan earned the rank of Eagle Scout with Boy Scouts of Suffolk County, Troop 200,

after he devoted many hours of hard work to creating a wall of four closets at the Par-ish Outreach Center within St. Anthony of Padua R.C. Church in Northport. The closets are utilized by several ministries to hold materials such as knitting supplies so volunteers can make items for residents at the Department of Veterans Affairs in North-

port, as well as baby blankets, hats and sweaters for young mothers in need.

“I am proud to honor Liam on becoming an Eagle Scout. His dedication to his troop, peers and community is a tes-tament to his character and we are all fortunate to have young leaders like Shanahan as role models in our commu-nity,” Stern said.

Harborfields school district is proud to recognize two of its physical education teachers, who happen to be sisters, Kath-leen Taylor and Christine Col-lins for being honored by their individual colleges for their ex-ceptional athletic performances on the colleges’ women’s la-crosse teams.

Washington Drive Pri-mary School physical educa-tion teacher Taylor was among eight Hofstra alumni who were inducted into the Hofstra Uni-versity Athletic Hall of Fame. Taylor was a member of the women’s lacrosse program from 1998 to 2001 and is one of seven Pride players to earn the Inter-collegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association All-Amer-ica honor. Among other ath-letic recognitions, Taylor ranks second all-time in the history

of Hofstra women’s lacrosse in assists, sixth in goals and fourth in points.

For the first time in the his-tory of women’s lacrosse at the University of North Carolina, Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School physical education teacher Collins is one of two players to have their jerseys hon-ored by the Tar Heels women’s lacrosse team. While the jersey numbers will remain active, Collins’ jersey will be displayed in the team’s locker room. As a Tar Heels player, Collins was a midfielder and co-captain in 2002, capturing the college’s only Atlantic Coast Confer-ence Championship. During halftime of a Tar Heels game against Syracuse in Fetzer Field on April 11, Collins and former teammate Kellie Thompson were honored.

Preston Carey, a second-grader at Fifth Avenue Elemen-tary School, has been selected as a 2015 Youth Football All Star. The YFO All Star program has strict standards and honors student-athletes that demon-strate exemplary studies, com-munity service and dedication to football. He is the first player selected from Long Island and joins other top athletes from across the nation. Preston plays for the Northport Tigers and the Long Island Spartans. He was selected by YFO because of his outstanding performance as

a quarterback and middle line-backer.

“After watching Preston Car-ey’s game film at the QB posi-tion, we noted that he throws an extraordinary deep ball. He has excellent arm strength and con-sistently throws a tight spiral. He’s also accurate for his young age. Preston’s a very good dual threat QB, ready to beat you on the ground or in the air!” said Vin Sehgal of YFO.

“Funny, smart and really active — Preston is like put-ting lightning in a jar!” said his teacher, Mrs. Petrone.

Marissa’s mom is an emergency depart-ment nurse at Huntington Hospital and her dad is a former Huntington Manor Fire Department chief and a fireman with the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), according to the account. Both are volunteers at the Huntington Manor Fire Department, and the account was set up so the family could “concentrate solely on loving Marissa.”

“Please help us support the Pastore fam-ily with any donation you can make which will go toward covering their living expens-es while they take time off from work to cel-ebrate Marissa’s life together.”

Not only did the account amass more than $55,000 by Wednesday, Marissa got a special surprise when Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Olaf and other charac-ters from popular Disney movies greet-ed the 14-year-old Disney lover, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

According to Katrina Kurczak, one of

Marissa’s wish granters and assistant di-rector of program services for Make-A-Wish, the nonprofit group and the fam-ily put together Marissa’s wish quickly. Family and community members con-tacted them Tuesday, April 28, and the group met with the family Wednesday. On Sunday, her wish came true.

“She was surprised and so happy, she couldn’t believe it,” Kurczak said. The characters rode in on fire trucks and greeted her.

The goal was to bring Disney to her, as Marissa is unable to travel due to her condition. Disney princesses Anna and Elsa from “Frozen” also made a special appearance and sang to the young girl.

“Her dad wanted to do something to make her smile,” Kurczak said.

Many volunteers came together to help make the day as special as possible. The Huntington Manor Fire Depart-ment, Cold Spring Harbor Fire Depart-ment and the FDNY also helped make Marissa’s wish come true.

Tulips, sheep and colonial musterOn Sunday, May 3, Hun-

tington kicked off spring with two of its festivals. Children and their families went from the booths and live entertain-ment at Huntington Town’s annual Tulip Festival, now

in its 15th year, to the live animals and historical games and crafts at the Huntington Historical Society’s Sheep to Shawl Festival. In between, the Order of the Ancient and Honorable Huntington Militia

re-enacted “Muster Day,” the day when news of the Revolu-tionary War reached Hunting-ton in 1775.

Above and right, scenes from all three events.

Stop it before it starts

Tensions between police depart-ments across the country and the com-munities they have sworn to protect have been high over the last several months, and Suffolk County is not an exception in this trend. But we differ from the areas where tensions have ex-ploded into street protests and violence in one crucial way: We can prevent such an eruption.

A group of 21 local Latinos has recently filed a lawsuit against the Suffolk County Police Department, alleging officers racially profiled them and even robbed them during police stops over the last 10 years. The lawsuit alleges the police have a culture of discriminatory policing.

The case is in part a response to the arrest of the SCPD’s Sgt. Scott Greene, who during a sting operation was found taking money from a Latino driver. Greene now faces 81 criminal

charges against a couple dozen Hispan-ic victims, and authorities say he was working alone.

But we could trace the issue back a little further as well, to the 2008 hate-crime stabbing murder of Marcelo Lucero, a Patchogue man from Ecua-dor. In the wake of the murder — for which seven young men were convicted — and the police’s investigation, there was public outcry over perceived police bias against Hispanics.

We have no doubt the majority of police officers are good people who just want to do their difficult, and at times dangerous, job of protecting Suffolk County residents. But it’s also true that a few bad apples can spoil the bunch — or lead to public perception that they have spoiled the bunch, which matters just as much.

The good news is we are in a desir-able position to change things for the better — if we acknowledge the warn-ing signs of trouble. The places in this country where there have been protests and riots, for various reasons, tensions between the police and the commu-nity had been stewing for a while. We should not let this come to pass in Suf-

folk County through our own inaction.A 2013 settlement between the

county Legislature and the federal Department of Justice — enacted in response to the Lucero case — is a good start. That agreement called for anti-bias training, taking feedback from the community and tracking complaints of police misconduct.

Our police department should kick

that into high gear, holding more com-munity forums and communicating to residents both the steps officers are taking to reduce bias and the progress of that work.

If we act as partners, we can im-prove police service and our officers’ relationship with residents to make our community a better place to live for everyone.

Shining new musical play on Broadway

This is going to be hard. I want to tell you about a highly original, marvel-

ously acted, adventurous piece of musical theater I saw on Broad-way last weekend, but I don’t want to give away much of the plot. I would hope you would see the play, as I did, knowing almost nothing about the de-tails except that it has the high-est number of Tony nominations this year with 12, alongside “An

Memories have an evanescent,

shimmering quality in ‘Fun Home.’

Between you and me

By Leah S. [email protected]

American in Paris,” and concur-rently has garnered spectacular raves from critics and audiences.

For a play to be so applauded, it would have to be creative and break new ground for narrative, music and staging. “Fun Home” does all that. Performed at the Circle in the Square Theatre on 50th Street just off Eighth Ave-nue, and billed as a family tragi-comedy, the show is adapted by Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori from Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel, based on a memoir she kept through the years of her growing up.

OK, I will tell you it is both a coming of age and a coming out story. If you are the least bit uncomfortable with either of the themes, you should not see the play because the events por-trayed are sometimes raw. And they are raw because they are heartbreakingly honest.

We all try to understand our parents, even more so as we age, because these are the two people who made us. In understanding

them, we come to better know ourselves. So I will tell you further that the narrator of the play is the daughter and she is chasing her memories, trying to understand and come to terms with her father.

Memories have an evanes-cent, shimmering quality to them and that makes them hard to pin down with certainty, even in our minds, much less on a stage. Therefore the device that this play employs is particularly interest-ing. There are three actresses who play Alison, the narrator, at dif-ferent times of her life — as an 8-year-old, a 19-year-old and her current age of 43 — as she looks on and occasionally cringes at what the other two say and do, If you think about it, we all re-act that way sometimes when we think of our younger selves.

So in this universal yearn-ing to know our parents, some of the particulars of this family are unusual and in the view-ing, they are wrenching. As has been said before, all happy families are happy in the same

way, but unhappy families are unhappy uniquely.

Bruce, the father of three bright and imaginative chil-dren, is a high school English teacher, a restorer of old houses, the proprietor of a funeral home in a small Pennsylvania town and the husband of Helen, Ali-son’s mother. But his life is more than that, as divided person-ally as it is professionally, and therein lays the rest of the plot which I really am not going to tell you, however hard this is. I don’t want to ruin the surprises.

I will share with you, how-ever, that the staging cleverly involves trapdoors opening and closing to disgorge and swallow up at different times objects in the home as large as the grand piano. When the lighting dims, it serves as a curtain would between scenes in a more conventional the-ater. And the music, highly original and opera-like as it is occasionally spoken and sung, perfectly carries forward the

storyline and fills in the unsaid. It is sometimes made up of big, brassy show tunes and some-times of heartfelt yearnings.

Michael Cerveris and Judy Kuhn head up the cast in this poignant, provocative and haunting human drama, made all the more soulful because it is a real family we are watching. As they sometimes say on movie screens when the film ends, this story is based on actual events.

This musical play has gone in a new direction and can be as forthright because of the times in which we live. Taboos can be spo-ken of out loud, and secrets can be revealed both on stage and in real life in an unprecedented way. This is both cathartic and liberating for audiences, as great art always is.

A convincing victory at Rocky Point Tuesday, 102-34, kept the Huntington boys’ track and field team undefeated at 5-0, in first place in League V.

But first, the boys claimed a 93-48 win over visiting Hauppauge last Tuesday, April 28, where Huntington’s athletes turned in strong performances across

the board, winning most of the contest-ed events.

The Blue Devils throwers had the greatest day of all, sweeping both the shot put and discus. It started with ju-nior Vernon Alexander, who, on his first attempt, tossed the shot put nearly 48 feet, but kept his eyes on the mov-ing object too long and ended up foul-ing when he stepped over the toe board. He rebounded in his second attempt and threw 45’8 for third place, a personal best for the teenager.

Senior Matteo McNeil finished first in shot put after tossing the weighted ball 47 feet. Senior Jimmie Nelson took sec-ond place with a throw of 45’11. Junior Amaru Jones hit a personal best of 44’10 on his first attempt to finish fourth.

In the unseeded section of the shot put, senior Aubrey Brewster threw a personal best of 40’8 and junior Tasean Betts threw 43’9.

In the discus circle, the competition was even more exciting. Nelson and rookie Kenny Charles battled it out for top honors. Both athletes notched per-sonal bests, with Nelson’s measuring

139’10 and Charles throwing 131’2. Mc-Neil finished third with a throw of 118’2.

On the track, senior Scott Gulizio won the 3,200-meter and was second in the 1,600. Junior Kyle O’Brien finished second in the 3,200. Sophomore Shane McGuire continued to display his poten-tial. He closed ground late in the 800 to take second place.

Sophomore Kyree Johnson and junior Infinite Tucker dazzled the crowd.

“Both athletes performed at the top of their game,” Huntington head coach Ron Wilson said.

Tucker won four events, including the long jump, with a leap of 22’6.5, the 110 high hurdles in 14.6 seconds, 400 inter-mediate hurdles in 55.2 seconds and the high jump with personal best leap of 6’6.

Johnson won the 100 dash in a per-sonal best time of 10.6 seconds, took first place in the 200 dash in 22.2 seconds, fin-ished second behind Tucker in the long jump with a leap of 21’1 and anchored the 4x400 relay team to a first place vic-tory. That relay also included McGuire as the lead leg, Tom Kopstein as the second leg and Gulizio as the third leg.

Sophomore Alaa-el-dien Elfaham captured the triple jump. The teenager soared 38’10.5 on his first jump to lock-up the victory.

Senior Sondy Jean-Baptiste also had a good day, finishing second in the high jump at 6’2, the triple jump at 38’4 and

third in the long jump, with a personal best leap of 20’1.

Senior Joe Saginaw won the pole vault with a height of 11 feet. Elfaham and junior Connor Grosso took second and third, respectively, with efforts that mea-sured 9’6. Placings were decided by the fewest misses.

Huntington has a dual meet remain-ing against defending League V cham-pion Eastport-South Manor. The Blue Devils will compete in the Chrissy Games at Bellport on Saturday May 9 and in the Suffolk Freshman and Soph-omore Championships at Longwood on Tuesday, May 19. The division champi-onships are set for Wednesday, May 27 and Friday, May 29.
