Northport school board welcomes new trustee, VP

By Wenhao Ma The Northport-East Northport board of education welcomed change to their meeting last Thursday as Allison Noonan was sworn in after beating out incumbent Julia Binger last May. Noonan, a social studies teacher in Syosset school district, is involved in the PTA and SEPTA. During the election season, she said she believed her newcomer status was exactly why she is the right choice for the job.

“I am not a part of the board that supported a failed administrator,” Noonan said of former Northport-East Northport Superintendent Marylou McDermott in a previous interview with Times Beacon Record Newspapers.

She said under McDermott’s tenure, district facilities, like the athletic fields, bathrooms and classrooms, fell into disrepair, and she would work to fix those problems.

At her swearing-in, Noonan said she was excited to get to work.

“I was thrilled that I was able to go out and support the community.” Noonan said when asked about her reaction after being elected back in May. “It was very sweet. I hope that I can be able to work for [the parents and students] consistently.”

Incumbent Andrew Rapiejko was also sworn in at the meeting on July 7, and the

Rapiejko, who has spent more than a half decade working as a board member, is entering his seventh year as a member, and said he is thrilled to continue doing his job.

“Thank you for the honor of being able to serve again as president,” Rapiejko said to other board members, parents and students. He said he is looking forward to a successful 2016-17 school year.

During election season, Rapiejko said he was proud of his work in the search to find a new leader for the district.

“Hiring the superintendent, who’s done a tremendous job this year, was a big accomplishment,” Rapiejko said in a phone interview. “Being able to sort through the applicants and choose someone who’s the right fit was a challenge.”

Board member David Stein was elected at the meeting as the new vice president, replacing David Badanes. Stein said he is

happy to work for the board.

“We got great schools,” he said. “We just work on keeping them that way.”

Lori McCue was the third board member elected in May, but she was absent from the meeting.

On election night, McCue said she looks forward to finishing an energy performance contract with the district that aims to make it more energy-efficient.

I’m very grateful for the people who came out and supported me,” McCue said.

$8.3 billion drug abuse bill could save North Shore lives

By VictoRia eSPinoza The fight against opioid abuse took a step further this week as U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) plugged new legislation.

The freshman congressman is a co-sponsor of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, which plans to spend $8.3 billion in funding to help combat widespread drug addiction, especially to heroin.

CARA passed through the House of Representatives last week with a bipartisan vote of 407 to 5.

Zeldin, who is a member of the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic, said he has been a proud supporter of this bill for more than a year now.

“As a co-sponsor of CARA, I have been a vocal supporter of this bill since it was first introduced at the beginning of last year,” he said in a statement. “Over the past year … I have worked closely with our local community, hosting multiple drug task force round tables here on Long Island, to bring together local elected officials, law enforcement, health professionals, community groups, parents, concerned residents and those in recovery, to discuss and develop a more localized solution to address this crisis.”

Zeldin has held heroin events in Smithtown and Brookhaven to meet with community members and keep the discussion open.

The specifics of CARA include $80 mil-

lion in funding to help prevent and treat addiction on a local level through community-based education, prevention, treatment and recovery programs; $160 million for the expansion of medication-assisted treatment options; and $103 million to establish a community-based competitive grant program to address and treat the problems of heroin and opioid addiction and abuse. Additional funding will also help supply police forces and emergency medical responders with higher quantities of naloxone, known more commonly as Narcan, a medication that is proven to reverse an opioid overdose.

Another part of CARA’s funding focuses on pain management and prescription.

According to the bill, the Department of Health and Human Services is required to assemble a Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force, which will review, modify and update the best practices for pain management and prescribing pain medication, and examine and identify the need for, development and availability of medical alternatives to opioids.

The grant aspect of CARA is connected to the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. CARA is set to amend that bill to authorize the Department of Justice to award grants to state, local and tribal governments to provide opioid abuse services, including enhancing collaboration between criminal justice and substance

‘We must always continue our fight to provide our local communities with the resources necessary to help stop and prevent drug abuse through treatment, enforcement and education.’

U.S. Rep Lee zeldin is asking the U.S. Senate to pass a $8.3 billion bill set to help fight the growing heroin problem. abuse agencies; developing, implementing and expanding programs to prevent, treat or respond to opioid abuse; training first responders to administer opioid overdose reversal drugs; and investigating unlawful opioid distribution activities.

CARA currently has 44 co-sponsors and is set to go to a vote in the United States Senate.

The North Shore is not immune to the heroin crisis. According to a New York State Opioid Poisoning, Overdose and Prevention Report from 2015, Suffolk County has the highest heroin-related overdose fatalities of any county in New York.

Zeldin said he hopes the Senate will act fast to approve the bill.

“I implore the Senate to act quickly to pass this bill, so that we can start providing the necessary resources to those in need,” he said. “While there is not just one piece of legislation that will solve this crisis, we must always continue our fight to provide our local communities with the resources necessary to help stop and prevent drug abuse through treatment, enforcement and education.”

Huntington residents have got to catch em’ all

By ReBecca anzeL& VictoRia espinoza The latest trend sweeping the nation is a throwback from the 1990s with a moderntechnology twist: a virtual reality Pokémon game played on smartphones, and residents of Huntington are not immune. Hundreds of kids, teenagers and adults alike took to the streets this week to interact in this new game.

This latest offering from Pokémon evolved the franchise beyond the original cards, television show and video games. Pokémon GO allows players to create an avatar, called a trainer, and walk around their neighborhoods catching various Pokémon. Players can battle one another and get free in-game items from locations chosen by the game.

The game is getting people of all ages out of their houses and into their neighborhoods. The only way to catch Pokémon is to walk around searching for them, and players have been posting on social media about how far they have traveled around their neighborhood.

One 22-year-old Greenlawn resident said she saw more than 50 kids hunting for Pokémon at parks in Northport and Huntington in one afternoon.

Megan Mclafferty introduced the game to two kids she babysits because she thought, “it would be a fun activity to do outside with the kids — and they loved it.”

She said the kids really enjoyed searching different spots for Pokémon.

“I like that it gets you outside, it gets

you moving, and it gets you to interact with other people,” she said in an interview. “It seemed like a lot of people were in big groups together [searching for Pokémon].”

Gerard Anthony, an 18-year-old Northport resident agreed that Pokémon GO is a great game to play in groups.

“Seeing all these people in my town is so new and great, especially when we can all bond over the same thing,” Anthony said in an interview. “I am able to go into Northport by myself and meet a new group of people each day.”

Just two days after the game’s release, players were spending an average of 43 minutes and 23 seconds per day playing Pokémon GO, a higher rate than popular apps including Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp.

According to SimilarWeb, an information technology company that tracks web analytics, Pokémon GO has so many daily active users that it is projected to soon have more users than Twitter.

But some people are concerned about the safety risks associated with Pokémon GO. Pedestrians are now wandering around towns, with their eyes faced down at their smartphones. Law enforcement agencies, institutions of higher education and public transportation systems have tweeted about the dangers of walking around consumed by a smartphone.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) held a press conference Tuesday to remind residents to exercise caution while playing.

Sini said. “We are encouraging not just parents, but all users, to practice caution to avoid injury to self and others.”

Stony Brook University also contributed to the conversation, tweeting to remind students to watch where they are walking while playing Pokémon GO.

Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School LEAP teacher Christine Mayr celebrates with students from the first-place winning team.

TJL students battle with book knowledge Throughout the 2015-16 school year, fourth- and fifth-grade students in the ELA LEAP enrichment program at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School independently read more than eight chapter books they selected from a list of 10. As a culminating activity to test their book knowledge, students participated in a Battle of the Books competition.

To participate in the competition, students signed-out books from their classroom library and read at their own pace.

Beginning in October, they kept reading

journals as a way for them to reflect on what they read during the year.

Divided into teams of four to five students, the book experts worked collaboratively to answer trivia questions based on the books.

They received additional points for bonus questions and could steal points from an opposing team. Medals were awarded to first-, second- and third-place winning teams.

Following the competition, the students celebrated their hard work and reading accomplishments during a special party.

Police rescue Commack man stuck at sea

by ViCtoria espinoza Police assisted a Commack man on Sunday afternoon after he could not get back onto his boat and was struggling in the water in the Long Island Sound, a mile and a half north of Eaton’s Neck Point.

At about 4:30 p.m. on July 10, police said Russell Giannotti and his wife Kim Giannotti had anchored their boat to fish when their fishing line became tangled in the boat’s propeller. Giannotti, 63, went overboard to clear the tangled line. When he attempted get back on the boat, his boarding ladder broke and he became stranded in the water. His wife threw him a life jacket and a rope but he was unable to put the life jacket on while in the water — although he was able to hold on to it for flotation assistance. The Commack resident ended up becoming entangled in the rescue rope and started to struggle in the water.

A passing boater observed Giannotti in distress and called 911. The boater was unable to assist due to choppy sea conditions, but was able to give the victim’s location

to police dispatchers. Two Marine Bureau vessels, a Suffolk County Police helicopter, the U.S. Coast Guard and Huntington Harbormaster Marine 3 responded to the search area.

Marine Bureau Section Officers Christopher DeFeo and Anthony Sangimino responded in SCPD’s Bravo patrol boat and were the first rescuers on scene.

They were directed to the victim’s location via Marine VHF radio by the nearby boater, and once they positioned their boat close to Russell, they threw him a life ring, and pulled him aboard the Bravo. On board, the officers treated him for exposure and transported him to the Soundview Ramp in Northport, where they were met by rescue personnel from the Northport Fire Department. Giannotti refused medical attention for exposure and minor abrasions.

Huntington Harbormaster Marine 3 towed the victim’s boat. The victim was eventually reunited with his boat and his wife, and both were able to return to Huntington Harbor, on their boat, without assistance.

Hi, my name is Diesel. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a handsome guy now but when I came into the shelter I was a mess....skinny, cuts on my face and scared. I was kept in a crate and neglected. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only 4 and I walk well on a leash and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good with most dogs. I need someone who will be good to me and teach me how to trust again.

Come visit me at: Smithtown Animal Shelter 410 East Main St, Smithtown, NY 11787 â&#x20AC;˘ 631-360-7575

Letters to the editor Blood emergency declared TO THE EDITOR:

Photo from Sylvia Kirk

A Black Lives Matter banner is dedicated locally on July Fourth weekend.

Relationships are two-way streets It certainly has not been a quiet two weeks in America. A shooting in Dallas, Texas, resulted in the death of five police officers, and the killings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La., and Philando Castile in St. Paul, Minn., have sparked a national conversation, with many people on social media finding themselves in between #BlackLivesMatter, #BlueLivesMatter and #AllLivesMatter.

Supporting #BlackLivesMatter doesn’t make someone antipolice, and responding to #BlackLivesMatter with #AllLivesMatter does nothing to address the reasons the movement started in the first place. The same goes for killing police officers.

Yet every time a new video surfaces showing a young black male being detained, and in some cases killed by police, or another story of an attack on a uniformed officer comes to light, finger-pointing and politically motivated, unproductive talk ensues for as long as the given news cycle will allow.

There is one important question that needs to be answered and given substantial thought by every person in the United States, so that we can decide what kind of a country we want to be. It is also important to note that asking questions of your government or law enforcement does not mean you are against them.

But why do we see interactions between African-Americans and police officers frequently start at a place of such heightened tension? How is it that we continue to see citizens of our country killed by the people entrusted with protecting them, and how do we fix it?

Just like any relationship, this one is a two-way street that needs reflection and cooperation from both sides to provide any hope of one day fixing it. We believe it would serve America well to look past the conversation of #AllLivesMatter. This phrase would not have started without #BlackLivesMatter, which came to the forefront because of violent incidents in this country. We need to look at why these events took place, if we want to try to fix what many citizens now think is a national problem.

A blood emergency has been declared in the Long Island region this summer. With schools being recessed for break and many residents on vacation, the summer months are typically low on blood. However, the current blood supply has been extraordinarily low. Right now there is less than a two-day supply of blood available, while a seven-to-nine-day inventory is recommended.

In just New York and New Jersey states, 2,000 donations are needed every day to keep our hospitals sufficiently stocked.

When blood is donated, it takes a minimum of 48 hours to reach a patient as it must be typed, separated and tested before it can be released to hospitals. The universal blood type O negative, which is only 6 percent of the population, is greatly needed at this time as that blood can go to any patient.

Due to the declared emergency, my office is working with Long Island Blood Services to host a blood drive on Thursday,

File photo

Huntington residents can donate blood in Centerport next Thursday.

July 21, from 1-7 p.m. at the Centerport Fire Department at 9 Park Circle. I would like to encourage all who can donate to please join our efforts. Each donor will receive an electronic voucher which they can redeem online for a pair of tickets to the New York Mets.

Some of the requirements to donate include only donating blood once every 56 days, be between the ages of 16 and 75, with 16-year-olds needing parental consent, and anyone more than 75-years-old needing a doctor’s note. Donors

must weigh more than 110 pounds and be in good health in order to give blood, and have no tattoos in the last 12 months.

Having blood on our hospital shelves in advance is key to saving lives. Please come out to our blood drive and support the thousands of people who will need blood every day. If you have any questions or to schedule an appointment for the blood drive, please contact my office at 631-854-4500.

America needs to put an end to the gun violence TO THE EDITOR:

We have a problem with gun violence in America. This is not a political issue; this is plain for anyone to see. How many more preventable deaths are we going to suffer?

After the recent tragedy in Dallas, a tabloid controlled by Rupert Murdoch splashed the headline “civil war”. Is this the America we want? Aside from the disgusting irresponsibility of inflaming the situation by invoking a tragic war that killed more than 600,000 Americans — some 2 percent of the nation’s population — this panders to our basest selves for the sake of selling newspapers.

If we are truly, in Lincoln’s words, one nation “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal,” we need to learn to live with each other without killing each other over angry disagreements or grievances.

We need to share our common

humanity. We need to promote peace and harmony. We need to be secure without being armed to the teeth. The alternative is a nightmare in which angry people act out twisted military-style fantasies armed with weapons of war. After the shooting stops it doesn’t really matter what the killer “believed.” What matters is lives cut short.

What happened in Dallas, Texas, is what a “Second Amendment solution” looks like.

Armed resistance to a democratically elected and duly authorized government is not “freedom.”

It is chaos, anarchy and death of innocents, in this case police officers who were doing their job with exemplary professionalism.

As comic-strip character Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” What happened in Dallas, or what happened at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon and elsewhere, is not what the framers of the Constitution and the writers of the

Second Amendment had in mind.

What happened in Dallas should also give the lie to the silly myth, already thoroughly debunked by combat veterans, that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. There were plenty of good guys with guns present in Dallas, both police and protesters. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is reasonable measures to try to prevent him from getting a gun in the first place.

How many more? How many more deaths from a toddler finding a gun? How many more suicides that are “successful” with a gun? How many more domestic disputes settled with a gun? How many more innocent victims killed by crossfire with a gun? How many more people of all ages, races and beliefs killed by a mass murderer with a gun?

Is this how we want to live?

opinion Are summer or winter birthdays best?

M

y brothers are getting ready to celebrate their birthdays, which are two days apart. OK, so, several years and two days apart, so, no, they aren’t twins who kept my mother in labor for more than 48 hours.

At times I thought perhaps I, the middle child, should have been born on the day in between them.

That way, my parents would have gotten all the birthday parties for the year done in one

By Daniel Dunaief week.

Then again, it would have been hard for any of us to own more than 24 hours if we were all making plans for something special in the same narrow window of time.

As a longtime baseball devotee

D. None of the above

and recreational player, I always imagined the best thing I could do on my birthday would be to attend a Yankees game.

Over time, the focus on my birthday has changed. Yes, I enjoy my wife’s chocolate chip cookies, which she bakes as often as I like and, yes, I enjoy the calls and the cards.

However, I don’t anticipate the day the same way I did when I was my children’s age, as they count down the days, hours and minutes until their annual celebration.

My son, who also loves baseball — hmm, I wonder how that happened? — has often talked about going to a game on his birthday, which is, conveniently, during the summer.

The biggest challenge to making that happen is that he plays baseball so often that his games often conflict with Yankee games. In fact, during some weeks in the summer, he plays more games than Alex Rodriguez.

OK, well, maybe that’s a bad example because poor A-Rod, who is a shell of his former self, hasn’t gotten much playing time these days.

Back to birthdays, though, if I could choose between a summer and winter birthday, I’m not sure which way I’d go. Let’s lay out the advantages of a winter birthday: For starters, I might get one of those natural gifts, when a snow day would eliminate all the hustle and bustle as the world stops and is covered with a white blanket. Nice as that sounds, that never happened.

My school friends were around on my birthday. During the summer, some of my son’s friends go to camp, where they might send him a snapchat or a text message around his birthday, but they can’t hang out, eat cake and swim in a pool.

I could also go skiing on my birthday. I love racing fast enough down a mountain that my eyes water from speeding down a trail. And, after an incredible day at Killington or Mount Snow, both in Vermont, I could relax in a lodge, in front of a fireplace, with my tired feet and exhausted knees propped up on the hearth.

I also enjoyed going to the

beaches during the winter, when the crowds were gone and I felt as if I owned the windswept landscape, from one end of West Meadow Beach to the other.

OK, how about the disadvantages? Tests were at the top of that list. When I was in school, a test on my birthday wasn’t as much of a wet blanket as a test the day after my birthday, when studying superseded any birthday celebration.

The movies around the middle of the winter never seemed as much fun to attend as the ones during the summer, perhaps because of the pressure to prepare for school.

Still, while the grass may be greener, literally, for summer birthdays and the baseball season may be in full swing, the winter birthdays give those of us looking for festivities during the colder, darker months something to celebrate.

Ideally, we can enjoy these festivities all-year round, as we celebrate with our friends and family, particularly during frenetic birthday weeks.

The remarkably artistic Queen Christina of Sweden

Q

ueen Elizabeth I and subsequently Catherine the Great have captured the attention and the imaginations of people over the centuries, but there was another such extraordinary woman whom I had never heard of until last Saturday night. She was Queen Christina of Sweden, born in 1626, and she was the monarch technically from the time she was 6 until she abdicated her throne in 1654.

By Leah S. Dunaief Her father was King Gustav II Adolph, and he died on the battlefield at the Battle of Lützen during the Thirty Years’ War. Close to his daughter, his only legitimate child, as she was to him, he decreed that in the event of his death, she was to be educated as a prince — to receive

Between you and me

a boy’s tutoring and instruction.

Except for a brief, three-year period when she was raised by her father’s half-sister, Catherine, who then died, Christina was always in the company of men and was effectively overseen by the governing regency council and the chancellor. She took to her books eagerly, and throughout her early years she energetically studied 10 hours a day. Her education ranged from religion, mathematics, Greek and Latin, philosophy and alchemy, and she eventually learned at least eight languages: German, Dutch, Danish, French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew and her own Swedish. She was also deeply interested in the arts and filled her palace and her kingdom with books, manuscripts, sculptures and statues, while encouraging theater and ballet.

When her chancellor, Axel Oxenstierna, wanted to continue the war, she sued for peace. Christina was interested in bringing scholars and artists from throughout Europe and surrounded herself and her court with learned men.

In 1648, Christina commissioned 35

pieces of art. By 1649, 760 artworks, 170 marble and 100 bronze statues, 33,000 coins and medallions, 600 pieces of crystal, 300 scientific instruments, manuscripts and books were forthcoming. Christina was widely viewed throughout Europe as one of the most educated women of the 1600s, nicknamed “Minerva of the North.” She was also regarded as eccentric since she often dressed in the most comfortable clothing, including pants and men’s shoes.

Christina stunned the royals throughout Europe by announcing she would never marry, although constantly pressed to do so by her regency council to produce an heir, and that she would abdicate her throne in favor of her first cousin Charles, with whom she had been secretly betrothed when she was 16. Impressed by a biography she had read of Elizabeth I, known as “The Virgin Queen,” and taken with the idea of Roman Catholicism celibacy — although Christina was rumored not to have been celibate, rather the contrary — she sailed from Sweden for Rome.

The pope, who pronounced her a

“queen without a realm, a Christian without faith and a woman without shame,” welcomed her elaborately.

As the eventual guest of five consecutive popes, Christina is thought to have been a symbol of the CounterReformation since she converted from Lutheranism and became a Roman Catholic. For the most part, she lived in high style throughout the rest of her life, mainly in her beloved Rome, and she certainly influenced continental Europe profoundly with her taste and protectionism of the arts. She militantly advocated on behalf of personal freedom, of charities and, interestingly, of Jews in Rome who were sometimes taunted on the streets.

So how did I come to learn of her remarkable life? I am a fan of Saturday night classic movies hosted by Columbia University arts professor Richard Peña on Channel 13 at 9 p.m., and caught the showing of “Queen Christina” (1933) starring Greta Garbo. From what I have subsequent read, the story is surprisingly faithful to the broader outlines of Christina’s life. She died in 1689 and is buried in a Vatican grotto.

North Shore standout gets drafted to NBA

By Clayton Collier The NBA was a dream worth the wait for Cheick Diallo; even if it meant waiting a little longer than anticipated.

Diallo, at 6 feet, 9 inches, 220 pounds, widely expected to be a late first-round pick, was selected 33rd overall by the Los Angeles Clippers. The 19-year-old forward’s draft rights were acquired by the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for the 39th and 40th overall picks. A 2-for-1 is a hefty price to pay in any exchange, but Pelicans general manager Dell Demps knew they had to get Diallo.

“You talk to people and say, ‘Is he a good kid?’” Demps said. “And they say, ‘No, No. He’s a great kid. He’s a phenomenal kid.’

In our interview process with him, when he walked out of the room, everybody just thought, wow. We all said, ‘Did you hear that? Did you listen to this guy? You want to root for him.’”

Demps said that first phone call with Diallo was one to remember.

“I was surprised Cheick didn’t go in the “We talked to him on the phone, and he first round based on preliminary reports I was so fired up and we were so fired up,” got,” Kansas head coach Bill Self said in a he said. “We were sitting there screaming release. “The big thing is he was able to go and yelling on the phone.”

Diallo’s former college rival, Buddy Hield, also went to the Pelicans with the sixth overall pick. The reigning John R. Wooden Award winner now joins a rotation that will include Diallo and All-Star big man Anthony Davis.

“That mix of speed and athleticism and power is a great combination,” Stelzer said.

“It’s the kind of situation where [Cheick] could make an immediate impact.”

Stelzer said his assistant coaches and Diallo’s host family were essential in getting Diallo from high school onto the next stage.

“We’ve been blessed, and we have a lot of people who have contributed in a team effort to make it possible,” he said. “I wish him the best. It was a pleasure to coach him; he’s a fine young man.”
